Who knew that he would be so energetic as soon as he woke up? It was as if he was going to tire her out. He was even more energetic than last night. There were a few times when Ruan Danchen felt that she didn't even have the energy to breathe. She couldn't control herself and her body didn't listen to her.
His chest was broad, and she was wrapped tightly in it. She felt like she was holding onto a piece of driftwood. She unconsciously clung to him with all her strength, and her whole body was hanging on to him.
Qi Chenglin kissed her forehead, which was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He was especially satisfied.
"What time is it?" Ruan Danchen mumbled.
Qi Chenglin glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. "10: 30."
"Aiya, I'm going to a high school reunion today." Although Ruan Danchen said that, she was not willing to get up. Compared to going to the reunion, she was more willing to stay in his arms.
Qi Chenglin also remembered the reunion. The main reason was that Ruan Danchen's old flame would be there. He was hoping that she would forget about today's reunion.
Qi Chenglin looked at her faintly, but he couldn't say that he wouldn't let her go. It would make him seem petty.
Just then, there was a knock on their door. Qi Youxuan's energetic voice sounded from outside, "Dad, Mom, are you up yet? I want to eat!"
Qi Chenglin wanted to torment Ruan Danchen a little longer, but when Ruan Danchen heard that her son was hungry, she quickly got up.
"If you still want to sleep, sleep a little longer." Ruan Danchen looked at his good-looking face and couldn't help but kiss it.
She was really becoming more and more dependent on her appearance after being raised by him.
Qi Chenglin didn't say anything and got up with Ruan Danchen.
The two of them tidied up. When Ruan Danchen went out, she saw Qi Youxuan waiting at the door. His hand was still on his stomach, and he looked like he was starving.
"Sorry, I'll make it right away." Ruan Danchen led him downstairs and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat hot noodles this morning." Qi Youxuan said. He thought of the smooth noodles and the hot soup. The noodles were steaming. After eating, his body felt warm and he looked like he was craving for food.
Ruan Danchen was amused by his behavior. Thinking how could the little guy be so cute, she went to the refrigerator ward to take out luncheon meat, vegetables, and eggs, and quickly cooked three bowls of noodles.
After dinner, Ruan Danchen cleared the dishes. She didn't put on much makeup. If it was just a classmate gathering, she would be willing to tidy herself up, but this time, Chen Libai was there. Chen Libai's matter was a matter of the past. Back then, he didn't even have a little sprout before he withered. After so many years, everyone had matured. No one would take it seriously.
But she knew that Qi Chenglin was narrow-minded. She didn't have any other thoughts, but what if she put on makeup and made him feel that she was looking forward to meeting Chen Libai? So she simply put on a layer of BB cream, brushed her eyebrow powder a few times, and applied a light layer of lipstick. It was almost like she was bare-faced.
When she came out with her bag, she saw that Qi Chenglin was holding an iPad. She didn't know what he was looking forward to. He seemed to be very focused and very calm.
Ruan Danchen couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Could it be that he was really generous?
Even so, to show her loyalty, she still asked, "Do you want to come with me? They said that you can bring your family. "
Although that was what they said, every year at the high school reunion, the boys would shout that they would bring their partners. Moreover, everyone had girlfriends. Some were already married, and some were even married, but they didn't really bring their partners.
It was probably because they were worried that everyone would feel uncomfortable. After all, their classmates weren't familiar with their partners, and they wouldn't be able to relax when the time came.
However, Ruan Danchen didn't have that many concerns. With Qi Chenglin's aura, if he sat there, the others would probably be speechless, and the meal would be cold.
But of course, Ruan Danchen cared about Qi Chenglin's feelings the most. She didn't want him to sulk at home and be depressed.
Only then did Qi Chenglin act as if nothing had happened. He lowered the iPad calmly and raised his eyebrows at her. "Family?"
"…" Ruan Danchen glared at him unhappily. She knew that this man was taking the opportunity to tease her, but the way he raised his eyebrows on purpose still made her feel embarrassed.
"It's fine if you don't want to be my family," Ruan Danchen said with an embarrassed face. She was about to walk out when her wrist was grabbed.
Then, she was dragged onto the sofa and sat next to him.
Qi Chenglin put the iPad aside and leaned over. "Are you proposing to me?"
"Annoying!" Ruan Danchen said in a low voice, a little angry. She knew that he was teasing her, but she couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Proposing is for men to do!"
Qi Chenglin looked at her with a smile. Ruan Danchen was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She lowered her head and felt her scalp burning. She still asked, "Are you going to the class reunion with me?"
She took the initiative to invite him. Qi Chenglin hid his happy expression and maintained a calm demeanor. He said seriously, "I'm not familiar with them at your class reunion. If I sit there, they won't be able to talk freely, so I won't go."
As he said that, he stood up. "I'll be back after I send you there."
"You're really not going? Don't worry?" Ruan Danchen looked at him suspiciously.
Qi Chenglin's expression was especially calm as he went to get the car keys.
"You don't have to send me. It's not easy for you to have a holiday. You should rest at home. I'll take a taxi myself." Ruan Danchen stopped him, not wanting him to go back and forth.
"It's not easy to get a taxi around here," Qi Chenglin said.
Ruan Danchen waved her phone. "Isn't there a taxi app? I learned it from my colleagues in the office. It's very convenient. Auntie Zheng is on holiday and there's no one at home. I'm worried about leaving Youxuan alone at home. "
"Then why do you want me to go with you?" Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"If you come with me, you can bring Youxuan with you. Or you can send Youxuan to Jade Villa Garden first." Ruan Danchen had already planned it.
Qi Chenglin nodded. "Then give me a call when you arrive."
Ruan Danchen tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. "I won't stay there for long."
"Okay." Qi Chenglin replied and walked her to the door. Although he wanted to tell her not to go, he couldn't bring himself to say it because he wanted to save face.
Ruan Danchen left Zhijing Garden. Before she used the taxi app, she saw an empty taxi and immediately waved to stop it.
About forty minutes later, Qi Chenglin received a call from Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen paid the driver and got out of the car. As she walked into Sheng Yue, she said, "I'm here."
"What time do you want to leave? I'll pick you up." Qi Chenglin looked at his watch. He was already a little impatient from waiting at home.
"Let me see. I'll call you when the time comes," Ruan Danchen said. "I'll probably leave in an hour or two."
Qi Chenglin sat on the sofa with an iPad on his lap. However, he didn't pay attention to a single word on the screen.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Danchen walked into Sheng Yue. Ruan Danchen had long been included in the VIP list of Sheng Yue. As soon as she saw her, the lobby manager immediately came over.
"Miss Ruan," the manager called out.
Ruan Danchen said Wang Kaiyi's name. The manager confirmed it with the front desk through the walkie-talkie and led Ruan Danchen to the private room on the second floor.
When Ruan Danchen arrived at the door, she looked at the time. It was 11: 40, a little later than the agreed time. When she entered the private room, everyone was already there except for her.
There was a man sitting opposite the door. She recognized him. It was Chen Libai.
His appearance hadn't changed much since high school, but he had become more mature. He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons unbuttoned. His collar was slightly loose and he looked rather suave. His sleeves were rolled up a few times, and he was casually chatting with others.
Chen Libai was very good-looking and handsome. However, compared to Qi Chenglin, he was still a little lacking. Not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of temperament.
If Qi Chenglin was sitting there today, probably no one would dare to speak. Whatever Qi Chenglin asked, they would obediently answer obediently. It was very restrained.
"Danchen!" Gao Xiaoyang turned around and waved at her.
Ruan Danchen also smiled and walked over.
"Come and sit. I saved a seat for you." Gao Xiaoyang looked at his phone. "You're ten minutes late."
There was a large round table with a rough look. There were about twenty people sitting at it. There was only an empty seat next to Chen Libai. Ruan Danchen didn't have much interest in Chen Libai, so naturally, she wouldn't be shy and sat down. Gao Xiaoyang sat next to her.
"Long time no see." Chen Libai was originally talking to Chang Jingqiu beside him. When he saw Ruan Danchen sit over, he was only halfway through the conversation when he stopped talking. He turned around and spoke to Chang Jingqiu.
Ruan Danchen had just arrived, so she didn't notice what Chen Libai and Chang Jingqiu were talking about. Therefore, when Chen Libai spoke to her again, she also didn't notice Chang Jingqiu's ugly expression.
She smiled faintly and said rather politely, "Yeah, long time no see. I heard from Xiaoyang that you just came back."
"What are your plans after coming back? Are you going to enter your family's company? "Wang Kaiyi asked.
Chen Libai shook his head and said, "I want to start my own business. First, I want to see how much I'm worth. While I'm still young, I want to challenge more. It's not bad to meet some setbacks and suffer losses. "
"I didn't expect you to have such thoughts. You're really different from those rich kids I know." Chang Jingqiu smiled and said, her pair of beautiful eyes floating over to Chen Libai's face.
Chang Jingqiu only transferred to their school in the second half of her second year of high school. Her family was originally in J City. Although it was in J City, the family business was famous throughout the country. If they really had to rank it, the Ruan family's status was also quite high. No matter what, J City was still a small place. It couldn't compare to B City, where there were so many upper-class people. Thus, the Ruan family moved to B City and successfully entered B City's upper-class circle.
"Chen Libai, you're really low-key. When I was in school, although I knew that your family was good, I didn't know that it was so amazing." Gao Xiaoyang smiled and said, "I'm a financial reporter now. In the future, if I have interviews or something, can I ask you for help?"
"I'll definitely help if I can." Chen Libai smiled.
"I say, Libai, you didn't get a girlfriend when you were studying abroad?" Wang Kaiyi asked as if he was pointing at something.
Chen Libai smiled and looked at Ruan Danchen. He said, "Westerners don't fit my taste. Besides, there's a big cultural difference, and our personalities are not the same. Besides, I know that I'll come back and we'll break up sooner or later. Why do I have to play around and do something irresponsible? "
"I thought you couldn't forget your old love." Gao Xiaoyang also followed up.
She and Wang Kaiyi seemed to have discussed it beforehand. They directly brought the topic closer to Chen Libai's love life. Ruan Danchen also understood the meaning behind it, but she could only pretend not to know.
"Back then, when I was young, I didn't want to do something irresponsible. I couldn't just casually make a promise and leave. But there are some things that I really haven't forgotten. "As Chen Libai said that, his gaze landed on Ruan Danchen without hiding it.
"…" Ruan Danchen really didn't know what to say now. She could only pretend to be confused and drink a mouthful of tea to cover up.
