"I'll go back tomorrow night. There's an opening ceremony tomorrow morning. I'll leave after showing my face at the reception tonight." Qi Chengzhi was tired of looking at the river outside the window, so he sat down on the sofa and rubbed the knuckle of his middle finger with his thumb.
Ever since the day she had to confess to Song Yu, she had smoked a lot. Since then, she had never smoked again.
"Well, don't be in too much of a hurry. If you can't make it, we'll come back the day after tomorrow." Song Yu was afraid that he would be too tired.
"You don't miss me?" Qi Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and leaned back. Listening to Song Yu's voice made him feel especially comfortable.
"Of course I do. I'm just worried that you'll be too tired." Song Yu glanced at Fan Xian, who was in front of him, and lowered his voice in embarrassment. He shrunk into the corner of his seat and leaned his head into the corner. He covered his mouth and phone with his hand. "I wish you didn't go on a business trip. Otherwise, it would be best if you came back tonight."
Qi Chengzhi smiled. His gaze was especially gentle and soft. "Then I'll take you with me on my next business trip."
"What about your work? Wherever you go, I'll follow. It'll be a joke." Song Yu glanced at him casually. Unexpectedly, she caught a glimpse of chauffeur Fan snickering. Her face immediately reddened, and she lowered her voice in embarrassment.
"It's not a big deal. I'll go out to work, and you can rest in the hotel. Anyway, you don't have to work now, and you have plenty of time. "The more Qi Chengzhi thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. He couldn't wait for Song Yu to come over right away.
Song Yu was a little tempted by his words. Going out with Qi Chengzhi was indeed not tiring. There would be people waiting for her wherever she went, and Qi Chengzhi would not let her tire herself out.
While he was working, she stayed in the hotel or strolled around the hotel. That way, he didn't have to rush home.
"Then next time, if it's convenient, I'll go with you." Song Yu's voice was thin and soft. It was especially pleasing to Qi Chengzhi's ears.
Qi Chengzhi's heart leaped with joy. He couldn't wait to have Song Yu come over right now.
Qi Chengzhi didn't hang up until Cheng Dongge came over to tell him that it was time for a meeting at the branch office in Gravel City.
After leaving the room, Qi Chengzhi was walking when he suddenly asked, "Do you want Chengyue?"
"Huh?" Cheng Dongge froze.
…
…
After returning to Zhijing Garden, Song Yu felt a little sleepy and went back to his bedroom to rest.
After sleeping for about an hour, he was woken up by Auntie Yang's knocking on the door.
Song Yu called out in a daze, "Come in."
Only then did he lift his half-opened eyelids. He was still in a daze from sleep and couldn't remember much.
"It's Miss Qi." Aunt Yang nudged Song Yu gently.
Song Yu opened his eyes. They were still drowsy and listless. He stretched and sat up. Looking at the time, it was 2: 50 in the afternoon.
"Shouldn't she be at work at this time?" Song Yu muttered. He rubbed his face to wake himself up before getting out of bed.
She went downstairs with Auntie Yang. Qi Chengyue was sitting in the living room. She was wearing a blue and white printed shirt. Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows and fastened with buttons. She was wearing a pair of white pencil pants and a pair of ballet shoes.
"Chengyue?" Song Yu was more spirited now. He walked over and asked, "Why are you here at this time? Did something happen?"
Song Yu immediately thought of something. Could something have happened to Qi Chengzhi?
They had clearly just talked to each other.
Song Yu's expression changed a little. He looked at Qi Chengyue worriedly.
Qi Chengyue smiled. "Don't be nervous. Big Brother asked me to pick you up. Pack up, we'll go to Gravel City together."
"Gravel City? Why so sudden? "Song Yu felt it was too sudden." I'm not ready yet. "
Qi Chengyue winked. "Big Brother misses you."
Song Yu was a little embarrassed. Qi Chengyue continued, "You don't have to prepare anything. Just bring your daily things. By the way, do you have a ready-made gown? We might need to attend the party tomorrow night. "
"Yes." Song Yu's phone rang as soon as she finished speaking. Auntie Yang brought the phone to her. It was Qi Chengzhi.
"Is Chengyue here?" Qi Chengzhi asked, interrupting the meeting when it was about time. He walked out of the meeting room.
"Yes, she just arrived. Why are we going to Gravel City all of a sudden?" Song Yu asked.
"Dongge misses Chengyue. He asked Chengyue to come over. You two can come together," Qi Chengzhi said calmly.
Song Yu had a nagging feeling that Qi Chengzhi was using Cheng Dongge as an excuse, so he continued, "Didn't you already agree to let me take you with me on business trips?"
"Can't you just tell me the truth? Got it. I'll go with Chengyue, "Song Yu said with a smile. She hung up and went back to the bedroom to pack.
Auntie Yang and Qi Chengyue helped. Song Yu went to the cloakroom to choose a dress that she hadn't worn yet with the label on it. Her breasts were showing now, so this dress could cover them up.
The two of them went out. Qi Chenglin's driver, Jiang Yuan, was waiting at the door. He immediately came over to help Song Yu with her luggage.
…
…
It was already seven when Song Yu and Qi Chengyue arrived at Gravel City. Song Yu didn't eat the in-flight meals on the plane. In the past, she wouldn't have cared so much. But now that she was pregnant, she had to think about the child.
Auntie Yang brought sandwiches and some fruit for them to eat on the plane. Song Yu didn't feel hungry after getting off the plane.
It was Chang Lai who came to pick them up. Song Yu relaxed a lot when she saw an acquaintance.
"Madam, Miss Qi." Chang Lai called out as he put their luggage in the trunk. "The CEO and Assistant Cheng are still in a meeting. I'll take you back to the hotel first. They should be done with the meeting by the time you get there."
Gravel City wasn't big. Qi Chengyue had been here before, but Song Yu hadn't. She looked at the scenery outside the window and found it quite refreshing.
The last time she came back with Cheng Dongge to meet his parents, Cheng Dongge had introduced many places to Qi Chengyue along the way. Qi Chengyue also introduced the places they passed today to Song Yu.
Song Yu smiled at Qi Chengyue and said, "You're half a Gravel City citizen now. You're going back to your in-laws' home."
Qi Chengyue blushed and spat. "You've been with my brother for too long. You've become a bad person."
"Aiya, I don't think I'm a good person to begin with. Didn't I kick you on purpose that time in Dynasty? " Song Yu rested her elbows on the window frame and rested her chin on her hand. Now that she thought about how she and Qi Chengyue used to be enemies, it was quite funny. She never expected the two of them to be so peaceful and on good terms now.
Qi Chengyue said embarrassedly, "Don't bring up the past. I'm embarrassed just thinking about it now."
"I think we're on good terms now. It's quite interesting to think about the past." Song Yu smiled. Seeing how embarrassed Qi Chengyue was, he smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore."
Qi Chengyue smiled and didn't bring up the past.
Moreover, whenever she brought up the past, she would think of Jian Yi. It was a stain on her life. She couldn't bear to think about how she had gone crazy for that man in the past.
…
…
When the two of them arrived at the hotel, Qi Chengzhi and Cheng Dongge handed their room cards to Chang Lai and asked him to bring Song Yu and Qi Chengyue to their rooms.
Song Yu and Qi Chengyue were walking toward the elevator when she suddenly heard a familiar voice, low and elegant.
She turned around and saw Qi Chengzhi walk in from the hotel's main entrance. Cheng Dongge was beside him, and there were many people around them. On the other side of Qi Chengzhi was a woman wearing an exquisite dress. The skirt was very narrow, and it outlined her long, straight legs. She looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and she was smiling at Qi Chengzhi and talking about something.
Qi Chengzhi's expression was indifferent, but the woman's face clearly had admiration written all over it. Her smile was charming and had a strong sense of purpose. It was obvious that she wanted to leave a good impression on Qi Chengzhi.
There were also many people surrounding the woman. Many men were looking at her with admiration or worship, praising her incessantly.
Song Yu looked at her and felt that the woman looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
"Isn't that the rather famous host? She often hosts all kinds of award ceremonies. I remember now, her name is Shen Man. "Qi Chengyue raised her eyebrows." It seems that Qi Lin found her to host the opening ceremony this time. "
As Qi Chengyue spoke, Qi Chengzhi, who hadn't been looking at Shen Man in the first place, looked over. His expression was indifferent, and it was unknown whether he had heard what Shen Man said or not. Shen Man's painstaking and charming smile probably didn't even enter Qi Chengzhi's eyes.
But at this moment, his originally clear and stern facial features suddenly became soft, soft to the point of being a complete mess. Previously, he had been cold and stern, and his aura was oppressive. That dignified and powerful aura was especially eye-catching. But at this moment, such a stern person suddenly revealed a rare gentleness, which made Shen Man even more dumbfounded. Her heart beat wildly as Qi Chengzhi's expression softened. She didn't understand why Qi Chengzhi had suddenly changed so much.
If a man like Qi Chengzhi showed this kind of expression to her, any woman would probably faint from happiness.
She saw Qi Chengzhi stride forward. Song Yu was a little embarrassed. There were too many people following Qi Chengzhi. Such a large entourage really made her feel embarrassed. This was too high profile.
Qi Chengyue had already walked to Cheng Dongge's side with a smile. Qi Chengzhi stood in front of her as if there was no one else around and held Song Yu's hand. "Tired from the journey?"
"I didn't walk much. I'm not tired," Song Yu said shyly in a small voice. Song Yu said shyly in a low voice. His face was burning as he spoke to Qi Chengzhi so softly in front of so many people.
"Haha, President Qi, is this your wife?" President Lu of the Qi Lin branch in Gravel City asked with a smile.
She had long heard that Qi Chengzhi was married, but Shen Man still actively tried to win his favor. For someone as outstanding as Qi Chengzhi, even if he was married, it wasn't surprising that other women still pursued him fiercely. But looking at the way Qi Chengzhi and his wife interacted, this Miss Shen really didn't stand a chance at all.
Qi Chengzhi naturally turned around to let everyone see Song Yu clearly. He turned his head and looked at Song Yu with a gentle gaze. When he looked back at everyone again, his expression was especially gentle. It was like he was a completely different person from before.
He nodded and didn't smile, but his tone was gentle. "This is my wife, Song Yu."
President Lu glanced at Song Yu's slightly protruding belly but didn't dare to say anything. Qi Chengzhi said first, "My wife is pregnant."
"Congratulations!"
"President Qi and his wife are really a good match."
Everyone congratulated them, and the sound of congratulations rang out incessantly.
Qi Chengzhi smiled. "She must be tired from the journey. I'll bring her up."
No one continued with the pleasantries and quickly let Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu go. Cheng Dongge also followed with Qi Chengyue.
When they returned to their room, Song Yu didn't mention anything about Shen Man. This wasn't Qi Chengzhi's fault. He didn't provoke anyone, but those women took the initiative to stick to him. It couldn't be helped. Qi Chengzhi had always kept his distance from those women.
"Since you're here and haven't been to Gravel City before, we're not in a hurry to go back. When we're done tomorrow, I'll accompany you for a day before going back," Qi Chengzhi said as he put down Song Yu's luggage.
"Is your work okay?" Song Yu asked. She simply took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"I'll be fine if I'm a day late." Qi Chengzhi opened Song Yu's luggage and took off his suit. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and was about to help Song Yu pack her things.
Song Yu quickly put on her slippers and came down. "Don't move. I'll pack myself."
Qi Chengzhi only looked up at her every time before lowering his head to continue packing. "Let's go to Dongge's house for dinner later. Are you hungry?"
"Auntie Yang brought some food for me. I ate with Chengyue on the way, so I'm not hungry," Song Yu said as she reached out to take the things from Qi Chengzhi's hands.
"Don't move. Rest." Qi Chengzhi directly pressed Song Yu to the side of the bed and turned around to continue packing.
He had such an elegant temperament, but now he was squatting on the floor. Song Yu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
After a while, Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue knocked on the door, ready to go to the Cheng residence. Song Yu went to open the door. When the two came in and saw Qi Chengzhi busying himself, they didn't know what to say.
Qi Chengzhi hung Song Yu's dress in the wardrobe before they set off together.
Qi Chengzhi decided to let Song Yu come, but he was worried about her doing it alone, so he let Qi Chengyue tag along. After talking to Qi Chengyue, Cheng Dongge suggested that they go back to his parents' house for dinner. Qi Chengzhi thought about it and agreed. This could also improve the relationship between the two families.
This time, Cheng Dongge, a local, was driving. Qi Chengzhi let Chang Lai off and let him play by himself.
Cheng Dongge drove the car to the Cheng residence. Qi Chengzhi took out the wine, fruits, and all kinds of gifts from the trunk that he had asked Chang Lai to buy in the afternoon. There were also some health supplements. There were so many of them that it was quite scary.
Coincidentally, an auntie from the same building came out to walk her dog. She was surprised to see them. "Oh, Dongzi, you're back again?"
"I'm on a business trip, so I came back to visit." Cheng Dongge smiled.
"Are these two your colleagues?" the auntie asked. She recognized Qi Chengyue.
"They're my big brother and sister-in-law," Qi Chengyue answered with a smile.
The auntie took another look. Qi Chengyue's big brother and sister-in-law had an extraordinary temperament, and they were unbelievably good-looking. No wonder Qi Chengyue could be so beautiful. Looking at the temperament of her big brother and sister-in-law, she felt that Qi Chengyue's family was definitely not ordinary.
Qi Chengzhi was indifferent and didn't have much of a reaction. Song Yu greeted them politely.
"That's great, that's great." The auntie smiled. Seeing that Qi Chengyue's big brother and sister-in-law had brought so many gifts, and they were all very outstanding, she felt that Qi Chengyue's family must be very sincere. "Then I won't hold you up any longer. Hurry up and go back."
The auntie glanced at the gifts on the ground and thought that Qi Chengyue's family was really sincere. The Cheng family had really found a good in-law.
Her big brother and sister-in-law didn't look like a formal meeting between the two families, but they had brought so many gifts.
The auntie walked the dog away. When she reached the intersection, she saw Wu Mengzhen and Zhao Ruiying, who had just returned from shopping at the supermarket after dinner. She greeted them warmly, "Xiao Wu, Ruiying, you're back."
"Yeah," Wu Mengzhen said with a smile. She called the puppy's name twice to tease it.
"When is Ruiying going to B City?" the auntie asked again.
"The day after tomorrow, so we're going to the supermarket tonight to buy some things for her to bring over," Wu Mengzhen said with a smile.
"Hey, what a coincidence. Today, the Cheng family's son also came back from B City. He even brought his girlfriend and his girlfriend's big brother and sister-in-law. I think they're really engaged and will get married soon." The auntie pointed in Cheng Dongge's direction. Qi Chengzhi and Cheng Dongge were bending over to pick up the things on the ground.
There were too many things, and the two almost couldn't carry them. They were dividing them. Song Yu was pregnant, and Qi Chengzhi didn't let her help. Qi Chengyue wanted to help, but Cheng Dongge didn't let her.
Wu Mengzhen and Zhao Ruiying looked over. When Zhao Ruiying saw Qi Chengzhi, she was slightly stunned. She felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't quite remember.
After saying goodbye to the auntie, the two didn't go to find Cheng Dongge. Wu Mengzhen wasn't a thick-skinned person. Besides, her daughter was pretty good, and she might meet someone better in B City. She wasn't that obsessed with Cheng Dongge. At first, she just thought that Cheng Dongge was single and had some thoughts about him.
Now that his family members had met each other, there was no need for him to do something that would annoy them.
When they were about to reach home, Zhao Ruiying suddenly exclaimed. Wu Mengzhen asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Did that auntie just say that those two are Cheng Dongge's girlfriend's brother and sister-in-law?" Zhao Ruiying asked with a shocked expression.
"Yeah, why?" Wu Mengzhen was curious. "Do you know them?"
"No, I just thought that her brother looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was until now," Zhao Ruiying said. "Her brother seems to be the CEO of Qi Lin."
"Qi Lin?" Wu Mengzhen didn't know much, but she felt that the word "CEO" was very impressive.
"When I was looking for a job, I looked up all the companies I wanted to work for online. I checked up on Qi Lin, but Qi Lin didn't have a suitable position for me, so I didn't apply for it. However, I also saw Qi Lin's profile, and he looks exactly like Brother Qi Chengyue." Zhao Ruiying suddenly stopped talking. After a long while, she said softly, "Qi Chengyue … His surname is also Qi …"
Wu Mengzhen also gasped. She knew that the scale of the companies that Zhao Ruiying applied for was no smaller than Yanhui. How scary was the CEO of a company of that level?
"No wonder Cheng Dongge said that Qi Chengyue was very close to Yanhui's CEO," Zhao Ruiying murmured.
Originally, she had intended to fight for Cheng Dongge, but now she didn't have any intention of fighting.
"I didn't expect that the Cheng family would have such a family." Wu Mengzhen was also at a loss. She still hadn't fully digested the news.
…
…
Qi Chengzhi, Cheng Dongge, and the other two entered the house. Sun Shaoyun looked at the large and small boxes they had brought in and felt really bad. "Why did you bring so many things? We're just here for a meal. Look at you, next time you're not allowed to bring so many things. "
