Let her be arrogant

Chapter 41 Discard
  The stars are dim, and wherever the cold white light of the street lamp reaches, fine dust flies like snowflakes.

Sheng Lanqing didn't want to go back to the hotel, so she walked a long way without thinking, and unknowingly arrived at the place where she and Xi Yu reunited.

The long wooden chair beside the flower bed was empty. She slowly sat down and stared at the small patch of ground at the toe of her shoe.

Until a dark shadow appeared there, standing still for a long time.

"Xi Yu, why are you here?"

Sheng Lanqing exclaimed and subconsciously stood up to walk towards him, but she stayed where she was.

Xi Yu looked at her deeply, not saying that he was following her.

Not long after he got off the plane, he received news from Shi Yubai that he was worried about the world being in chaos.

When he didn't find her at the Sheye Hotel, he couldn't help but turn on the location of her mobile phone.

It was something he habitually put on her out of the caution he had developed over the years, but it came in handy at this moment.

"come over."

Xi Yu said calmly: "I don't have a fiancée, and I won't get married. You don't need to avoid suspicion."

The black trench coat accentuated the man's more perfect and slender figure, and his arms were slightly open, more like a greeting.

Sheng Lanqing hugged his strong waist without hesitation, listening to the steady heartbeat, like the ringing of an ancient bronze bell.

"It smells like smoke, so you should pay attention to your health."

She sniffed at the hem of his clothes and frowned, like a cat whose territory had been violated.

Xi Yu's eyes glanced at her neck and found no trace that shouldn't be there, and his smile increased a bit.

"My friend who was traveling with me smoked, so he probably got it accidentally. As for my body..."

He leaned close to her ear affectionately, whispering like a lover: "Do you want to try it? Just treat it like it is fulfilling your obligations as a lover."

Sheng Lanqing's voice was trembling a bit, and her cheeks were extremely hot.

She didn't need to look in the mirror to know how completely she looked in front of Xi Yu at this moment.

"I just have no choice. Someone from the Sheng family saw me on the cruise ship with you and insisted on asking me for an explanation."

Sheng Lanqing said softly: "You are the only one who can help me, so I borrowed your name."

Xi Yu keenly sensed Sheng Lanqing's emotional changes.

It had been several years since she had lowered her eyebrows in front of him like this.

He instinctively disliked such a scene, but thinking about the situation when she came out of a strange man's house just now, he still suppressed his softness.

"I never make a losing deal."

Xi Yu said with a half-smile: "If you want to take shortcuts, you have to pay a price."

Unexpectedly, Sheng Lanqing did not refute him, nor did she angrily accuse him.

She just smiled calmly, quickly put back even her shyness, and said slowly: "So, which hotel do you want to go to?"

Xi Yu's eyes roamed all over her body, as if he was thinking.

After a moment, he said, "I don't like forcing things."

"I do not regret."

Sheng Lanqing made a loud noise, and then smiled again.

"Like you said, there's a price to pay for taking shortcuts."

Xi Yu finally took her home and left her alone in the living room while he went upstairs to change clothes.

Xuehua ate the cat food for a while, then trotted over gracefully and licked her hand with his warm tongue.

Sheng Lanqing scratched its plush chin, and the little guy purred comfortably.

It's so good, I was born with clothes to put out my hands and food to open my mouth.

As long as you find the right owner, you can be worry-free for a lifetime.

Not at all like her, she suffered from insomnia for dozens of days and nights. After retreating countless times, she finally decided to abandon her aloofness and arrogance and choose a self-interested path.

Anyway, between her and Xi Yu, it's not necessarily who suffers more. He is so beautiful. He is born with a face that is gorgeous in the prosperous times, and has a charming skin that brings disaster to the country in troubled times.

“Tripping out spinning around”

The ringtone of Sheng Lanqing's latest "Alice in Wonderland" theme song rang.

She answered the phone and her voice became much softer: "Teacher, why did you call me all of a sudden?"

The voice that appeared over there was a heavy sigh, as if lamenting one's misfortune.

Sheng Lanqing's heart suddenly dropped, she pursed her lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master's wife, I have relied entirely on your and Teacher Gu's care for these years. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."

She knew that Mrs. Gu was a very traditional woman.

She went against her original intention and accepted herself to go to the Gu family to eat and drink, all to take care of her husband's face.

And the reason why I talk to myself now is because of Teacher Gu's intention.

"Tonight, Huairuo called our old couple and was very happy to say that he has a girl he likes. We were originally happy for him..."

Wu Lan said calmly: "But, that girl is you."

Sheng Lanqing softly said "hmm" and felt light all over.

The mobile phone in the palm of my hand seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds, so heavy that I could hardly hold it.

"Teacher Gu and I both know that your family relationship is quite complicated. So we turned a blind eye to your entanglement with those men..."

"After all, it's not easy for you, a little girl, to wander outside. How can you do it without some help from a man?"

"When we helped you, we just looked at you as a little girl and felt so pitiful. Out of morality, we tried our best to help you."

"Later, when you became successful, you also learned to be grateful. The things you sent me during the holidays in the past few years were all very valuable, far exceeding the cost of our funding for you."

"We are all content. After all, you are not our biological daughter, and it is difficult to comment on anything else."

"But we only have one son, Huairuo. He has never been in love and has a very simple personality. Don't mess with him, okay?"

Sheng Lanqing's eyes were sour, and she held back the heavy tears to avoid being heard choking.

"it is good."

She didn't say clearly that she had declined Gu Huairuo a long time ago, but Gu Huairuo didn't listen at all.

It would not work to argue to Mrs. Gu that she just didn't want to break her face and just wanted to maintain a superficial calm so she didn't say anything to death.

If she fell into their ears, they would probably think that she was very scheming and good at talking.

"I will make it clear to Gu Huairuo."

"Then, I'll trouble you."

Wu Lan was much more polite and far less aggressive than before.

Sheng Lanqing had seen such a polite side of her many times when guests came to her door.

Thoughtful yet distant, only maintaining a superficial level of intimacy.

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Lanqing lay on the sofa in a daze.

She thought to herself that this time there would be no place to go during the Chinese New Year.

Do you want to suggest adding a lively New Year's song in the theater?

For example, "Single Sword Club" is very impressive.

As soon as Xi Yu came downstairs, he caught a glimpse of the girl's long, satin-like hair spreading like a waterfall, covering half of her face.

The waist is slender, like a seriously injured demon running at night, as beautiful as a ghost.

He reached out to touch her face and paused when he touched the cold liquid.

"Sheng Qingqing, why are you crying?"

The man's slightly rough fingertips gently stroked her cheek and wiped away the tears.

"Does following me make you uncomfortable?"
