Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 16: I won’t let you lack oxygen

"Xi Jinbai, the president of Aurelia." Hope flashed in Zou Rui's eyes, "Your friend knows Mr. Xi? What is their relationship? Can you introduce me to him? If we can cooperate with Aurelia, we will not worry about orders in the next year. .”

He currently serves as the director of a fabric company. The company is small, so he has no chance to cooperate with a big brand like Aurelia.

Sun Qian said thoughtfully: "I don't know either. I'll look for an opportunity to ask later."

Her relationship with Sang Yu was not good. They were in the same class in junior high school. Sang Yu had good academic performance and was beautiful, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't compare to him. Even the boy she had a crush on liked Sang Yu, so she She especially disliked Sang Yu. Later in high school, they were not assigned to the same class, but they could still often hear Sang Yu's name from their classmates. She was recognized as the school beauty.

But so what, even if she scored more than 600 points in the college entrance examination, she still didn't go to college. She could only work part-time here and there to earn money for her mother's medical treatment. Now she is just a small designer.

The waiter led Xi Jinbai and Sang Yu to the private room and handed them the menus.

Two transparent floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the night view of Victoria Harbor. The lights reflect on the sparkling sea, contrasting with the bustling Central, creating a brilliant and spectacular scene.

Sang Yu saw Victoria Harbor from this angle for the first time, and it was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

Xi Jinbai ordered several dishes according to his own taste.

The waiter wrote them down one by one.

Sang Yu came to his senses and looked down at the menu.

Caviar, foie gras, black truffle... As expected, every dish is astronomically priced.

She ended up ordering two slightly more ordinary dishes, a beef bourguignon and a bowl of French onion soup.

It's enough for her food intake.

Xi Jinbai added a signature dessert to her. Jiang Tang, who is so picky about desserts, must order it every time he comes back. It must taste good.

Sang Yu also asked suspiciously: "Do you like desserts?"

I have never seen him eat sweets at all.

Xi Jinbai said calmly: "Here you go."

Sang Yu said "Oh", and there was a slight wave in his heart.

The dishes were served quickly.

Xi Jinbai has excellent dining etiquette. He does not make any noise when using tableware, only the sound of chewing.

Sang Yu slowly cut the steak and put it in his mouth.

"Why, it doesn't suit your taste?" Xi Jinbai asked.

Sang Yu shook his head, "No, it's quite delicious."

It tastes good, but I'm just not used to eating these things.

She has a small appetite and is already full after eating the steak and soup, so she can only take the dessert away in a package to eat later.

It was still early to return to the apartment, so Sang Yu digested it first before taking a shower.

Xi Jinbai was busy in the study as usual.

Sang Yu put on comfortable pajamas and lay on the bed reading fashion magazines, with her legs dangling in the air.

Thinking about going to Paris next week to see a fashion show makes me feel good.

Unknowingly, after ten o'clock, Xi Jinbai returned to the bedroom and saw her lying on her stomach reading a book, frowning slightly, "Aren't you afraid of bad eyesight?"

Sang Yu then turned over and sat up from the bed. Xi Jinbai unbuttoned his clothes and walked to the bed. He said in a low voice, "Go take a shower."

Sang Yu raised his eyes and looked into his dark and deep eyes. His heart beat suddenly and his voice weakened, "I've washed it."

"Stay with me."

Xi Jinbai leaned over and picked her up, then turned and walked to the bathroom.

The bathroom door closes.

Not long after, the sound of gurgling water and faint moaning came from inside.

Sang Yu was pressed against the sink, with tears oozing from the ends of his red eyes, "Didn't you say...staying in the bathroom for a long time will lead to lack of oxygen..."

Xi Jinbai's kiss fell back on her lips, "I won't let you lack oxygen as long as you are here."

On Saturday, a day off, Sang Yu went home and told Sang Fengping about the business trip.

"Mom, I may be away for four or five days this time. If anything happens at home, you must call me as soon as possible."

Sang Fengping reassured her, "I know, so don't worry about it and just go about your business."

Sang Yu sat on the sofa, peeling an orange in his hand, "I will make a video call to you every day."

Sang Fengping was afraid of delaying her work, "Isn't there a jet lag? If it's inconvenient, there's no need to call. You can concentrate on your work. What can I do at home?"

Sang Yu curled his lips and handed over the peeled orange, "I miss you, why can't I call you?"

"Why do you get more clingy as you grow older?" Sang Fengping said something different.

Sang Yu corrected: "What do you mean, the older you get, the more clingy you become? I can't grow up in front of you."

Sang Fengping smiled helplessly. She knew that her daughter had grown up, and she had grown up very early. She was more precocious than other children of the same age and was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken.

It was almost noon, and the mother and daughter went into the kitchen to cook together. Sang Fengping knew that she would be back today, so she bought a few more of her favorite dishes yesterday.

Sang Yu helped out, choosing and washing vegetables skillfully.

Sang Fengping suddenly remembered something, hesitated in her heart for a while, and finally asked: "Yu Yu, tell the truth to mom, are you dating a boyfriend?"

After the words fell, Sang Yu paused in washing his hands, curled his fingertips, suppressed the panic in his chest, and said as if it was nothing, "Mom, why did you ask this suddenly? Didn't I tell you everything?"

Sang Fengping said while cooking: "How did Aunt Zhang's daughter say she saw you dating a man? It was in a restaurant, I forgot the name, but she said it was quite high-end."

Sang Yu had an epiphany. No wonder the voice sounded familiar that day. It turned out to be Sun Qian.

She and Xi Jinbai didn't have any intimate behavior at that time. How come it turned into a date when word spread to her?
"Mom, why don't you listen to her nonsense? When she was in junior high school, she spread rumors that I had a puppy love, which caused me to be criticized by the teacher and ask my parents to do it. Have you forgotten?"

Sang Fengping explained: "I didn't listen to her nonsense. Isn't this asking you? I'm worried that you will be deceived by outsiders. I heard that there are many unlearned rich second generation and dandy kids who deceive pretty girls like you." A little girl’s feelings.”

"Mom, don't worry. I'm not stupid. I can't be deceived so easily." Sang Yu was afraid that she would think too much, so he simply made up an excuse: "I went out with my boss to meet clients that day, otherwise how could I When going to a high-end restaurant like that, even if I’m going on a date, I should choose a night market stall because it’s delicious and saves money.”

Sang Fengping's doubts were dispelled. Although she supported Sang Yu in dating, she was afraid that she would be deceived by unreliable people. This was probably a common problem among parents.

She doesn't want her daughter to find a partner with good conditions, as long as she treats Sang Yu well and is down-to-earth and progressive.

The topic ended, and Sang Yu chatted with her about work and said that he had been promoted.

Sang Fengping was surprised and happy, and then blamed her, "Why did you just say such a big thing? If you had known I should have bought some rice cakes yesterday, I will fry rice cakes for you today, as a way of getting better!"
