Chapter 6 Chapter 6 “Mi Mi, Mr. Shen is a man after all…
After Guan Mi finished making tea, he took out some information from his bag and handed it to Shen Yanfeng. After he finished explaining it, he prepared to leave.
She had no other plans for the day, and her meeting with the director would have to wait until tomorrow. She was staying at a nearby hotel and planned to go back and rest before going out for a walk.
Chen Yanfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then spoke calmly, "Will you come to the cocktail party with me tonight?"
Guan Mi was slightly startled, then nodded: "Okay."
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Shen Yanfeng raised his chin towards the door, motioning Guan Mi to open it.
She calmed herself down and walked over quickly.
A lady in uniform was standing outside the door, holding two exquisite boxes, one large and one small, with exquisite packaging. It was obvious that the contents were of great value.
The other party said a few words in Cantonese. Guan Mi understood, but he couldn't speak it very well. He politely took the box and turned back to Shen Yanfeng.
"There's a dress and shoes inside. Take them back to the hotel and try them on. If they don't fit, contact the person you just met." He held out a business card and said, "Meet me downstairs at the hotel at 7 pm."
The hotel was less than 300 meters away. After Guan Mi walked back, she opened the box and found a white satin dress with a one-shoulder design. Another box contained a pair of matching stiletto sandals.
Surprisingly, the dress and shoes were surprisingly suitable.
She took a photo in front of the mirror and sent it to Wen Li, briefly telling him about her plans for the evening.
Unexpectedly, he called right away, "Female companion? Didn't your boss find anyone else?"
"Yeah, just me." She turned around twice in front of the mirror, then unzipped her dress and took it off.
There was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone.
"Wen Li?" Guan Mi hung up his dress and glanced at his phone. "Why aren't you talking?"
"I was distracted for a moment," he said. "Don't drink too much tonight. Send me a video afterward to let me know you're back safely."
"Okay." She chuckled, "Don't you know how much I can drink? Besides, in this kind of occasion, everyone has to look at Mr. Shen's face, and no one will embarrass me."
“Mi Mi, Mr. Shen is a man after all.”
Wen Li thought that in the past three years, Guan Mi and Shen Yanfeng had met almost more times than he, her official boyfriend.
There is no doubt that Guan Mi is a very outstanding person, otherwise Shen Yanfeng would not have brought her with him directly.
However, what concerned him was that in the past three years, there had never been any other women around a man like Shen Yanfeng.
"So you are worried about him," Guan Mi took a sip of water, "Then there is no need to worry. I know Mr. Shen's character."
Wen Li seemed to sigh, "Protect yourself."
"I know." She felt that he was really worrying too much. How could Shen Yanfeng have any feelings for her?
She climbed onto the bed and sank into the soft mattress. "I'm going to go shopping for my colleagues later. By the way, what should I bring back to your house? There are a lot of things you can buy in Hong Kong..."
"No need to buy, I've prepared everything," Wen Li said. "I've also booked the high-speed rail tickets. I'll send you a screenshot later."
"Wen Li..."
"Mimi," he said in a gentle voice, "after we get married, what's mine will be yours. Now I'm just spending it on you in advance."
Guan Mi buried his face in the quilt, his nose sour: "Don't you feel wronged? Meeting someone from a family like mine."
Wen Li smiled and said, "I didn't find out about Guan Tang's illness until we were together. I understand your situation and hope to share some of your burden."
His idea was simple. Since Guan Mi was unwilling to let him help pay for Guan Tang's medical expenses, he would spend all his love on her.
Guan Mi bought several boxes of souvenirs at once. In addition to the ones for Shanshan, he also bought some for his family and Wen Li's family.
After returning to the hotel, she contacted the makeup artist named Zhong Xuan on her business card, and it was almost seven o'clock when she finished.
After she tidied herself up briefly, she took her bag and took the elevator downstairs.
It was ten minutes to seven, and Shen Yanfeng hadn't arrived yet.
Guan Mi stood quietly at the door of the hotel waiting, as guests came in and out from time to time.
Her eyes casually swept through the crowd and happened to meet the eyes of a white man. When she looked away, he and his companions walked straight towards her.
"Are you waiting for someone?" the man asked in English.
Guan Mi frowned and pretended not to understand English.
"I know you speak English." The man exchanged glances with his companion and suggested with a smile, "Who are you waiting for? Your boyfriend? Do you want to go for a drink with us?"
Guan Mi looked indifferent and replied calmly in fluent English, "Waiting for my boss."
After saying that, she looked down at her watch.
The white man wanted to speak, but suddenly felt his vision was blocked. He raised his eyes and saw a tall and handsome man in a white shirt and black trousers standing in front of him.
Shen Yanfeng glanced at them coldly, "What's the matter?"
The innate sense of oppression hit the man, and the two men left in disappointment upon seeing this.
Guan Mi looked at him: “Mr. Shen.”
"Let's go."
There were a few steps at the door, and Shen Yanfeng naturally bent his arm and waited for her to take it.
Guan Mi didn't notice it and just walked down with his bag.
When she realized something was wrong, she turned around and saw that he was still standing there. The two of them looked at each other across the stairs for a second.
Her heart tightened. It was over. How could he have walked down without her noticing?
"Are there mosquitoes in the hotel?" Shen Yanfeng suddenly asked as he walked down the stairs.
"Huh?" Guan Mi didn't react for a moment.
"The back of my neck is a little red."
She paused, then suddenly understood what it was.
Hickey.
But she was too embarrassed to tell Shen Yanfeng about this.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said calmly: “My neck was a little sore just now, I pinched it, is it obvious, Mr. Shen?”
"You're squeezing so hard?" He looked at her, as if he really believed her, and smiled, "The hair can block it."
In the car.
Guan Mi rarely sat in the back seat with Shen Yanfeng. Just now, the driver opened the door and motioned for her to get in. She felt that it would be a bit deliberate for her to go to the passenger seat again.
She sat upright, looking forward.
"Take this."
Hearing this, she turned her head and saw an open velvet box in Shen Yanfeng's hand, with a broken diamond necklace lying inside.
"Tina gave it to you," he said.
The Tina that Chen Yanfeng mentioned was the one who gave tea and roses to people at the airport today.
Guan Mi and her first met when he helped take care of her child who had a fever for half a day during his last business trip to Hong Kong City. He didn't expect that she still remembered this friendship.
She shook her head, the tassel earrings swaying gently under her round earlobes. "This thing is too valuable. I can't accept it."
"Tina was able to take photos of evidence of her husband's extramarital affair thanks to you." Shen Yanfeng said, "She received billions in compensation, so giving you a necklace is nothing."
"Can……"
Chen Yanfeng raised his eyebrows: "When did you become so slow in doing things? Just take it if I give it to you."
Guan Mi silently took the box, “Boss Shen, how should I thank her?”
"No need." He looked out the window. "Your contributions are more than enough for this necklace."
"Secretary Guan, I think this necklace goes perfectly with your dress today. We're almost at the dock, do you want to put it on now?" The person who spoke was Ah He, Chen Yanfeng's driver in Gangcheng. He was a local and spoke fluent Mandarin.
"Okay." Guan Mi took out the necklace and tried to fasten the clasp with her backhand. But she failed several times and was about to turn to the front to put it on.
"Help you?" Shen Yanfeng asked.
She smiled slightly, "No need, Mr. Shen."
After turning around, the necklace was put on in one go, and she still had a smile on her face: "That's it."
Chen Yanfeng's gaze lingered on her neck for a moment, then he glanced at her indifferently, and then looked out the window at the pier which was gradually becoming clearer.
The pier is brightly lit.
At the entrance, Zhou Yiting, the eldest son of the host family, had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Shen Yanfeng appear, he stepped forward quickly and said, "Mr. Shen, it is really an honor for us to have the honor of meeting you. My father specially prepared some good 1998 wine."
Chen Yanfeng shook hands with him. Guan Mi stood half a step behind him. She raised her hand to push away her hair that was blocked by the wind and met Zhou Yiting's gaze.
Zhou Yiting's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Who is this lady?"
The corners of Shen Yanfeng's lips slightly raised: "Guan Mi."
Guan Mi bowed slightly: "Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Mr. Shen's secretary."
"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Shen has a very beautiful secretary, and today I finally got to see her." Zhou Yiting's eyes shifted subtly between the two of them, and he gracefully stepped aside. "Please come in."
Throughout the evening, Guan Mi followed Shen Yanfeng naturally, listening to him talk with others and occasionally raising his glass to drink.
He couldn't hold his liquor well, but he never let her stop him from drinking.
After three rounds of drinks, Shen Yanfeng was still drinking and chatting with the leader of the Zhou family.
Guan Mi felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and wanted to go to the bathroom. She saw Zhou Yiting walking straight towards her with a smile on his lips and a glass of champagne in his hand.
At this time, Mr. Zhou suggested: "Yan Feng, it's too noisy here, why don't you go to the second floor? It's quieter and you can enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour."
Shen Yanfeng nodded and stood up. When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you coming with us?"
Zhou Yiting, who had already walked in front of Guan Mi, paused, turned around and said with a smile: "Of course, together."
Guan Mi watched them go upstairs before turning around and heading to the bathroom.
Wen Li is having dinner tonight with an old neighbor and his family who are back to visit relatives.
He had sent her several WeChat messages, but she hadn't bothered to read them just now. After coming out of the bathroom, she walked out onto the open deck, lowering her eyes as she replied to the messages.
He said that his neighbor's daughter planned to stay in Jiangcheng to develop, and Wen's father asked him to help look for a job.
After a while, Wen Li sent a voice message: "Are you done over there? It's quite late."
She replied: [Not yet, but it should be soon. Have you been drinking?]
"I had some white wine with Uncle Fan." His voice was filled with laughter. "Dad called me. I'll call you when I get home."
Guan Mi finally replied with an emoticon, holding his phone, leaning against the fence, staring at the flashing neon lights.
The wind gently blew her hair, and the light outlined a soft contour on her profile. Her cold eyebrows and eyes were a little distant, but more than ever, it made people unable to look away.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass on the second floor, just after clinking glasses, Shen Yanfeng suddenly forgot to drink the wine in his hand.
He looked at the figure immersed in the night, and suddenly a strange feeling flashed through his mind.
This strangeness caught him off guard.
Zhou Yiting followed Shen Yanfeng's line of sight, looked at him meaningfully for a while, then raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
Guan Mi didn't expect Shen Yanfeng to be so drunk.
Watching Zhou Yiting helping him into the room, she subconsciously took out her cell phone to contact Ah He, only to remember that they were on a cruise ship and Ah He had sent them here and then went home.
Zhou Yiting placed Shen Yanfeng on the sofa, then turned to look at Guan Mi who was still standing at the door: "Miss Guan, aren't you going to come in? I don't know how to take care of men."
Seeing her approach, he smiled apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work. I heard that Mr. Shen doesn't like strangers to get close to him, so I didn't call a servant."
Guan Mi hung up the suit jacket in his arms and said in a normal tone: "Taking care of Mr. Shen is part of my job."
After saying that, he prepared to go to the small kitchen in the suite, "Mr. Zhou, would you like some water? I'll pour it for you."
Zhou Yiting shook his head. "There are guests outside to entertain. If you need anything, you can ask the servants to come find me downstairs."
"OK."
Before leaving, he turned back and said, "I've already had someone prepare the hangover soup. It will be here in ten minutes at the latest."
Guan Mi nodded.
The door clicked shut, and she held the water cup and looked at Chen Yanfeng who was sitting on the sofa. He closed his eyes and frowned, with his tie hanging loosely around his neck.
"Mr. Shen, drink some water."
Chen Yanfeng opened his eyes slightly, and the face he caught a glimpse of through the cracks of his eyes was fair and clean. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Go back to the room. I can do it myself."
Guan Mi gently placed the cup of water in front of him and said, "Someone will bring some hangover soup later. Take it before you go to sleep. You will feel better when you wake up tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." He closed his eyes again.
"Is there anything else I can do?" she asked. Her room was not here, and it would take a long time to walk over there.
“No more.”
When Guan Mi walked towards the door, Shen Yanfeng turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on her back.
There was a muffled "bang" sound.
Hearing the sound, Guan Mi immediately turned his head to look. The water cup that was originally on the table rolled onto the carpet, and the water stains soaked Shen Yanfeng's trouser legs.
"My hand slipped." He looked a little uncomfortable.
"I'll go pour another cup." Without thinking much, she walked back quickly. When she was about to pick up the cup, the person in front of her picked it up first.
He handed over the cup, "Ice water, please."
This time, Guan Mi directly placed the water cup in Shen Yanfeng's hand and watched him finish drinking. When he put down the cup, she handed him a tissue and said, "Wipe your pants."
After saying that, she bent down to clean up the wet carpet.
"Don't worry about these." Shen Yanfeng said.
"It's okay, I'll just take it out." She picked up the blanket, "I'll go back to the room first, you have a good rest."
The door opened for three seconds and then was gently closed.
The lights in the corridor were bright, and a waiter happened to pass by, and Guan Mi gave him the blanket.
She thought about it and didn't leave. She stood by the door waiting for the servant to bring her some sobering soup.
The phone in her bag vibrated, and she took it out. It was Wen Li who sent her a video.
On a midsummer night on Wutong Road, the leaves rustled in the wind, and several figures walked slowly on the asphalt road.
He had just finished his meeting, and the Wen family was walking their old neighbor's family back to the hotel. The video could be heard talking with the elders, mixed with a sweet female voice.
In the room, Shen Yanfeng withdrew his gaze.
He lowered his eyes to look at his wet trouser legs and suddenly chuckled.
