She turned to leave, but her wrist was suddenly held by him. Qi Chengyue lowered her head. The place where his palm was pressed against was warm. The rough feeling of his fingertips and palms formed an electric current that flowed into her heart.
She looked down at the hand that was holding her wrist. It was white and clean, and his well-defined fingers were slender and long. She couldn't believe that he used this pair of hands to play basketball in university. When he bounced the ball, it was also very elegant and natural.
There was still some black hair on the back of his fingers. It wasn't much, but it looked very nice on his fingers. The veins and tendons on the back of his hand were also slightly bulging, making his hand look even thinner.
Her gaze followed his hand back to Cheng Dongge. Cheng Dongge looked at her and suddenly let go. He only said lightly, "Go back."
Qi Chengyue lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered a few times. "Be careful on the road."
Cheng Dongge watched her get into the car. Since she already knew that he was following, he simply followed her into the neighborhood and watched her return home safely before leaving.
…
…
At noon the next day, Qi Chengyue left her office. When she was passing through the large open room outside, she saw that her colleagues in the department were also packing up and preparing to go out for lunch. They chatted as they cleaned up, very relaxed.
"I just saw a woman looking for Cheng Dongge!" Qi Chengyue didn't know which department the other party was from, but it wasn't the finance department. Because it was lunchtime, she had come to ask someone out for lunch. She chatted while waiting for her colleagues to clean up.
"Why are you still saying that it's so strange? Just now, she rushed in so quickly that it seemed like our general manager was going to get married. "Xiao Zhang drank a mouthful of water and stood up." I'm done. Let's go eat. "
"No, I just saw that the woman's temperament and clothes were not ordinary, so I asked around. She's the daughter of Jiang Yuan Media, Jiang Xiyao. I heard that Cheng Dongge and Jiang Xiyao went on a blind date last night. Special Assistant Cheng is not ordinary now. His blind dates are all rich young ladies. I think that Miss Jiang likes Cheng Dongge quite a bit. Why don't she come to Qi Lin to look for him personally? I reckon that the two of them are going to succeed. Special Assistant Cheng is really a good match for that Miss Jiang, "the other party said as she followed Xiao Zhang.
"Yo!" Xiao Zhang suddenly stopped, his face full of excitement, "If that's the case, then all the single ladies in our company will cry themselves to death in the toilet! Ever since Cheng Dongge became single again, there had been quite a number of people chasing after him. I heard that He Cancan from the CEO's secretary's office has been fawning over Cheng Dongge every day because he's in a favorable position. Now he's become the public enemy of Qi Lin's women. "
As Xiao Zhang spoke, he suddenly stopped. He noticed Qi Chengyue walking over and immediately tugged at his companion. Although no one believed that Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue had anything to do with each other, thinking that Cheng Dongge was simply doing it because he was the CEO's special assistant and had helped the CEO handle some matters, the two of them had, after all. For some reason, when Qi Chengyue heard about it, she felt guilty.
"Manager Qi," Xiao Zhang called out cautiously.
Qi Chengyue nodded. Seeing her nervous expression, she said, "Lunch break isn't working time. You guys can talk."
As she spoke, she walked out of the large room without stopping.
"Qi Chengyue, you're not allowed to go up. You're not allowed to go up." She kept whispering to herself, but her legs wouldn't listen to her. She walked straight into the elevator and uncontrollably pressed the button for 25.
She came out of the elevator and turned a corner. Sure enough, she saw Jiang Xiyao and Cheng Dongge standing face to face.
Jiang Xiyao's hands hung in front of her as she carried her bag. Today, she wore a white shirt with a red checkered watermelon pattern and a short skirt with a blue floral print. The shirt was tucked into the skirt, showing off her slender waist. She also wore a thin pink cardigan over the shirt.
Jiang Xiyao smiled confidently at Cheng Dongge. Qi Chengyue heard Jiang Xiyao say gently, "Yesterday, you had something urgent to do and left first. You said you'd apologize to me another day. Anyway, I didn't know which day it would be, so I took the initiative to come over today and give you a chance to treat me to lunch to apologize. "
Cheng Dongge still looked calm and composed. The way he looked at Jiang Xiyao was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Then, she saw him nod slightly and say, "That's fine. I also have something to talk to Miss Jiang about."
Jiang Xiyao was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "Then it seems that I came at the right time."
She suddenly stopped talking and sucked her lips into her mouth. Biting her lip, she asked with a red face, "Am I rather thick-skinned?"
Cheng Dongge was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say and didn't cross the line.
Qi Chengyue lowered her head and pursed her lips. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, someone suddenly called out to her. "Miss Qi."
She didn't expect Jiang Xiyao to see her first. Qi Chengyue could only give up on the idea of leaving quietly. She braced herself and walked over. She nodded to Jiang Xiyao and greeted her. "Miss Jiang."
The two of them treated each other like strangers. They had only met once.
Now that Jiang Xiyao was close to Cheng Dongge, she didn't want to talk to Jiang Xiyao anymore.
Qi Chengyue didn't dare to look at Cheng Dongge's expression. She hurriedly said, "I'm here to look for my older brother."
She directly rushed to Qi Chengzhi's office. Cheng Dongge only had time to say, "Young Master Cheng is with —"
Before he could finish, Qi Chengyue had already opened the door.
"Bang!"
She stepped into the office and slammed the door shut behind her. The moment she opened the door, she saw Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi sitting on the sofa. Song Yu was tightly pressed against the back of the sofa by Qi Chengzhi. Her entire body was about to sink into the back of the sofa.
Qi Chengzhi supported Song Yu's waist with one hand and held her face with the other. He kissed her so deeply that Song Yu was about to be pulled into his arms.
Song Yu was especially docile in his arms. Her cheeks were flushed from his kisses, and her entire body seemed especially delicate. Her hands clutched Qi Chengzhi's shirt tightly, and she was about to be completely squeezed into Qi Chengzhi's arms.
The two of them didn't hear the sound of Qi Chengyue opening the door. It wasn't until the final bang of the door closed that the two of them woke up.
Qi Chengzhi let go of Song Yu and turned his head with a frown to see who had come in at this time. Qi Chengyue's face was bright red. She stomped her foot. "Why didn't you lock the door!"
"Why didn't you knock?" Qi Chengzhi was also unhappy.
Qi Chengyue: "…"
Song Yu's face was red. She was also too embarrassed to look at Qi Chengyue, so she could only secretly pinch Qi Chengzhi.
It was all his fault. She had just said to lock the door first. Even if the two of them were just kissing, it wouldn't be good if someone directly barged in and saw them.
However, Qi Chengzhi's lips were directly glued to her lips. He didn't want to leave at all and didn't move even half a step. He only said that Cheng Dongge was outside and that no one would dare to come in without knocking.
When he started to stick to someone, it was really impossible to push him away.
Song Yu lowered her head. Her face was burning red as she smoothed out her hair. For a moment, she really was too embarrassed to show her face, so she simply hid behind Qi Chengzhi. She pressed her forehead against his back and kept poking his waist as if she was taking revenge.
Qi Chengzhi reached behind him and grabbed her hand. He said in a low voice, "Don't mess around."
Qi Chengyue felt that she might as well not come in. Coming in to see them show off their affection — wasn't that just looking for excitement?
"What did you come in for?" Qi Chengzhi asked as he held Song Yu's hand and squeezed it gently.
Since they were already in, Qi Chengyue could only bite the bullet and say, "I … I suddenly remembered that I came over to eat with you guys!"
Qi Chengzhi glanced at her and said with a slight mocking smile, "When Song Yu came just now, he met Jiang Xiyao. Did you see her?"
"…" Qi Chengyue felt that he seemed to know something. She looked over suspiciously and cautiously and pretended to be confused as she replied, "I saw her. When I came over, I just happened to see her talking to Cheng Dongge."
"Oh, I heard that it's going well. Last night, Old Madam specially called the Jiang family to ask about the situation. They said that Jiang Xiyao has a good impression of Cheng Dongge and wants to develop a relationship with him. "
"…" Qi Chengyue narrowed her eyes slightly. "Big Brother, why are you telling me this?"
Qi Chengzhi said in all seriousness, "I just wanted to chat with you and have a heart-to-heart talk. I remembered that we haven't had a proper chat in a long time."
Qi Chengyue was speechless.
"…" Even Song Yu was speechless. How could he say such shameless words?
"Let's go eat." Qi Chengzhi pulled Song Yu up and went to Dynasty with Qi Chengyue.
His Range Rover was still being repaired and replaced with a Jaguar. It was a sedan and short. Song Yu was used to the height of the Range Rover and was not used to the Jaguar.
Qi Chengzhi saw that Song Yu's sitting posture was not very natural. He put the car in D gear and stepped on the accelerator. He reached over to hold her hand and said, "Let's go to the 4S shop in the afternoon to look at the car."
"What's wrong? Who are you buying a car for?" Song Yu found it strange and was still wondering if Qi Chengzhi was buying a car for her. But then she remembered that she was pregnant now, so Qi Chengzhi couldn't let her drive. In the past, he had also said that he would give her a ride if something happened, and if he wasn't free, he would get Chang Lai to do it. In short, he was worried about her driving alone. If something happened on the road, he couldn't control it, so he could only worry about her when she went out.
"If that Range Rover needs to be repaired, it will take some time before it can be taken back. Moreover, there have been a few accidents. To put it in a superstitious way, it's not too auspicious. It's not bad to get a new car to change the atmosphere and get rid of all the bad luck in the past." Qi Chengzhi glanced at her, squeezed her hand, and asked, "What car do you want to get?"
Song Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What about you? What car type do you like?"
"In terms of car type, I still want to buy an SUV. It's spacious and more comfortable to sit in." Qi Chengzhi said that considering Song Yu's pregnancy and her belly would get bigger and bigger in the future, it would be more comfortable to sit in a big car. A car would be a little uncomfortable. "Also, you're used to sitting in SUVs."
Although he didn't say it out loud, Song Yu understood what he meant just by looking at his gaze.
She didn't expect him to notice it all the time. She had never thought that she would have such a tacit understanding with someone and have such a level of telepathy.
With just one look, she understood what the other party was thinking. There would be no misunderstanding at all.
This feeling of telepathy was especially blissful. Song Yu couldn't help but tighten her grip on his extended hand.
"Then let's still buy the Range Rover. I'm really used to it, and I have feelings for it. I don't want it to change." Song Yu looked at him. "Every time I see that car, I know that you're sitting in it. It's especially safe."
"Okay." Qi Chengzhi smiled slightly. Her last sentence seemed to make him especially happy. The two of them held hands, and he took advantage of the situation to pass through her five fingers and intertwine with hers. He pulled her hand to his lips and kissed the back of her hand.
"Chengyue is behind us!" Song Yu said softly. Her ears were red, and she didn't dare to look back. Qi Chengzhi treated Qi Chengyue as if she didn't exist. He was still the same as he usually was. It was really embarrassing.
"So you guys still know that I'm here!" Qi Chengyue said speechlessly. "I thought you guys had long forgotten about it. You're acting like there's no one else in front, and those pink bubbles keep popping up. At least think about me!"
Song Yu hurriedly wanted to retract her hand, but Qi Chengzhi didn't let go. She tugged at it twice, but he still held it firmly in his hand. He glanced at Song Yu and said lightly, "I'm driving. Don't mess around."
"…" Song Yu was speechless. This was the same sentence every time.
"If you're envious, then find another boyfriend," Qi Chengzhi said. He glanced at her in the rearview mirror. "Do you want me to introduce a few to you?"
Qi Chengyue narrowed her eyes. She couldn't help but wonder if he really didn't know?
"No need," Qi Chengyue said in a muffled voice.
"I know that when Jian Yi was chasing after you, there were a few boys from other families who were also chasing after you. It's just that you chose Jian Yi. Now that you're divorced, those single boys are probably ready to make their move again," Qi Chengzhi said.
"Once I'm divorced, why would they still like me now?" Qi Chengyue said casually. "Even if they really came to find me, it's probably because they have their eyes on the Qi family. But Jian Yi is an example. He didn't get any benefits from the Qi family. I think they'll give up after thinking about it. "
"Do you really think so? Don't you think that there are people who only like you? "Qi Chengzhi asked in a low voice.
"…" Qi Chengyue was silent. There was one, Cheng Dongge. But because she liked him so much, she felt that she wasn't good enough for him.
"Do you think that because you're divorced, you're worse than others?" Qi Chengzhi asked. His voice was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Qi Chengyue didn't say anything. Qi Chengzhi said, "There are many divorces nowadays. Many young couples divorce after six months of marriage. People don't think much of it. It's as simple as a breakup. Why do you think it's so serious? Isn't it just a divorce? Which part of you is worse than others? Those who really like you won't care that you're divorced. Why do you care so much about yourself? "
"I …" Qi Chengyue had a lot to say, but she didn't know how to tell them.
Song Yu squeezed Qi Chengzhi's hand to calm him down. He said, "Chengyue, actually, when you just got divorced, many families sent people to ask Grandma about it. Grandma was worried that you'd just gotten divorced and wasn't in a good mood, so she returned and didn't tell you."
Qi Chengyue didn't say anything. The car had already stopped at the entrance of Dynasty.
Qi Chengzhi handed the car keys to the valet and brought Song Yu and Qi Chengyue into Dynasty.
Li Zhuohui was walking and talking with two clients at the same time. He noticed them and signaled to his assistant. The assistant brought the two clients into the VIP room first and walked over to them.
"Chairman Qi, Mrs. Qi." Li Zhuohui walked in front of them and greeted them with a smile. Finally, he looked at Qi Chengyue, his gaze more focused. "Miss Qi."
"Here to discuss business?" Qi Chengzhi said indifferently. Because of his younger brother Li Zhuoan's feelings for Song Yu, Qi Chengzhi didn't treat Li Zhuohui well.
However, Qi Chengzhi's face was always sour, so it didn't make much of a difference.
Li Zhuohui didn't mind. He nodded and said, "Yes, I saw you just now, so I came to say hello. By the way, Miss Qi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I remember you were still my junior. "
Qi Chengyue was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, it seemed to be true. She just didn't expect him to remember.
"I won't disturb you anymore," Li Zhuohui said again and went to the dinner party.
When Qi Chengzhi brought Song Yu and Qi Chengyue to the room, Song Yu asked, "Did you know Li Zhuohui before?"
"He was quite famous in our university, but when I entered the school for my first year, he was already in his fourth year. He went to help out at his family's company and would only come back to school occasionally. Every time he came back, it was quite a commotion. The girls in school seemed to have gone crazy," Qi Chengyue said. With her status and pride, she naturally wouldn't go crazy for Li Zhuohui.
"According to what you said, the two of you probably didn't have any interactions back then. When you entered the school, he wasn't in school much anymore. He only went back a few times, but he still remembers you." Song Yu smiled. From his gaze to his smile to his entire expression, it was especially ambiguous. "I noticed the way he looked at you just now. It felt different. I always felt that he seemed to have a good impression of you."
"…" Qi Chengyue felt that Song Yu had definitely been led astray by Qi Chengzhi. "What are you talking about? I don't even know him. How could I have a good impression of him? He's really unreliable."
Song Yu ignored her words and directly asked Qi Chengzhi, "How much do you know about Li Zhuohui?"
Qi Chengzhi snorted and said lightly, "This Li Zhuohui is much more reliable than my younger brother. I heard that he got divorced last year. It hasn't even been two days, and all the big families are already throwing their daughters at him."
"If that's the case, then he's not responsible for the divorce? Otherwise, who would be rushing to push their daughters at him? "Song Yu asked. The first thing he cared about was his character.
"I heard that his ex-wife had an affair. During the marriage, I haven't heard of him doing anything unfaithful." Qi Chengzhi glanced at Qi Chengyue. "If Li Zhuohui really has a good impression of you and wants to pursue you, he can really give it a try."
"…" Qi Chengyue was depressed. "The two of you are singing the same tune. What are you talking about?!"
"He's single, and you're single. Why can't the two of you give it a try? You'll have to start a new relationship sooner or later, right? " Song Yu said. "Anyway, you don't have any feelings for Jian Yi anymore. You don't have any psychological burdens or ties, and you don't have any reluctance to leave that marriage. Since you don't have any burdens, why can't you give it a try? "
"Didn't you just despise yourself for being a divorcee? Li Zhuohui is also a divorcee. If you follow him, you don't have any burdens, and you don't have to worry about him being taken advantage of, "Qi Chengzhi said again. His expression was really quite serious.
Qi Chengyue: "…"
When she was silent, she didn't see Song Yu give Qi Chengzhi a sneaky smile that said, "Everything is under control."
…
…
After the three of them finished eating, they just walked to the entrance of Dynasty when they happened to see Li Zhuohui walking out with a client. He also saw Qi Chengzhi and the others. He retracted his gaze and shook hands with the client. After saying a few words to his assistant, the assistant led the two clients away.
Only then did Li Zhuohui walk towards Qi Chengzhi and the others. In a very clichéd manner, he said, "What a coincidence."
"It is indeed a coincidence," Qi Chengzhi said meaningfully. "President Li isn't leaving with them?"
