Lovely and lingering, the CEO can't help himself

Zijin's heart was full of mixed feelings. Her body was cold, and her little hands under the quilt were tightly clutching the sheet, and she never dared to look up at Qiao Shiyun's eyes.

She has always trusted Qiao Shiyun. If she wants to score 100 points, she will definitely not lose 1 point.But now... It seems that something is changing quietly. When she suddenly discovered such a change, she was afraid, panicked, uneasy...

It was as if her whole world wished to be subverted by someone, but the more this happened, the feeling that frightened her was obvious.

—Who is lying?Who is lying?

She remembered that when Qiao Jingting said those words, her face didn't look like she was lying, not to mention why she deliberately came to say those things in front of her, her purpose was only for the 5% of Qiao's shares in her hand, no matter how she gave them I made excuses for myself, but I still couldn't convince myself.

…………

So, is it Qiao Shiyun?

But what is his purpose in doing this?Is it just to use such soft and hard methods to force myself, and there is no way to refuse to participate in the 5th wedding anniversary?

…………

Zijin's heart was in a state of confusion, she dared not say anything, without any evidence, she was just fighting in her heart, thinking wildly, and couldn't think of a reason, she pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and did not make a sound.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Jinglian was somewhat unhappy, but when she thought of her falling from the stairs just now, she felt guilty again. After hesitating for a long time, she still frowned and said, "...the matter of the anniversary, since everything It’s already been done like this, it’s okay if you don’t participate, if you really don’t want to show up, then I will show up..."

"Both of you have to come forward!"

Qiao Shiyun interrupted Qiao Jinglian's words, looked at Zijin who had been refusing to raise her head or speak, her eyes flickered, "...Zijin, I know you are reluctant, Jinglian really went too far this time, I said, I will definitely help you decide, but for the 5th wedding anniversary, you should treat it as a face for your father, and let’s talk about what happened before.”

"........."

Zijin is not a cold-hearted person, especially when facing Qiao Shiyun, even now she always has a part in her heart-this old man whom she has always trusted and respected the most, is trying to play "bitter tricks" on herself, But still can't keep a cold face and refuse directly.

What's more, she is not sure whether it is really a "bitter trick".

In the past five years, whether she was at Qiao's house or in the UK, Qiao Shiyun always took good care of herself, and her father... Zijin thought, one by one, she suppressed such thoughts one by one. Where is the courage to say "no"?

"...Dad, about the fifth anniversary of marriage... I can promise you, but I have one condition."

Zijin pondered for a moment, and finally said, "...I know you will think that I am making progress now, but I have really thought about this matter for a long time. I have always wanted to talk to you, but I have never had the chance."

"You said."

"In the past 5 years, I have been relying on the support of your Qiao family. I took a break from studying in the UK and joined Qiao's when I came back. Dad, I am very grateful that you gave me 5% of the shares of Qiao's. In fact, I should be really grateful , if I hadn't met you, I might not know what would happen to me now..."

Zijin was slowly organizing words in her mind. Such a scene made her feel as if she was "negotiating", but this kind of negotiating skills similar to "beginning with etiquette before fighting" was unconsciously used by her, and perhaps even herself She has never realized that in such a short period of more than a month, many changes have taken place in her body, and these changes were all given to her by a man named Gu Yanshen.

"...I am capable now. I work at Trader Joe's and I also get a salary, so Dad, I want to make a request to you. I hope that after the 5th anniversary, I can take my own father from After being picked up from that hospital, I want to take care of him myself."

"........."

Qiao Shiyun's expression remained unchanged, but the fingers holding the crutch suddenly increased their strength.

"... Zijin, it's not that I don't agree. With your father's current situation, it's not easy to get out. If anything happens, I won't be able to keep him. You should know."

This topic, she didn't take it seriously before, so she retracted it, but this time, Zijin didn't want to stop there. Of course, she actually had selfish intentions in her heart. Back then, she overheard Qiao Shiyun at the door of the hospital ward. The conversation with that strange man, she only told Gu Yanshen about this matter, but she kept it in her heart all the time. She even wondered if there were many things that she didn't know, but her father kept talking about it. clear?

Zijin was a little anxious, she frowned, and sat up from the bed, "Dad, I know, I will be responsible for these consequences myself! I know it is a bit irresponsible for me to say something like this now, but it is mine after all." My biological father, my dearest person in this world, is the only one left, I really don't want him to be locked up in that hospital forever, Dad, I..."

Zijin said, her eyes were red, Qiao Jinglian looked at her like this, her face was pale, her big eyes were full of tears, in fact, she was really kind, his throat was a little hot, and when he realized When he came over, he had already stretched out his hand, grabbed Zijin's wrist, and stood in front of her with his tall and straight body. Looking at Qiao Shiyun, he said, "...Since she said so, you agree."

Qiao Shiyun, "..."

Qiao Jinglian saw that her father's face was not good-looking, and there was a gloomy look between his brows. The first thing he thought of was that he was worried that Zijin would not be able to take care of a mad elder, so he pinched Zijin immediately. Over the shoulder, he gave Zijin a condescending look, and said, "Okay, if you're afraid that she won't be able to take care of her alone, I will take care of her too, so he's also my father-in-law."

"Now you remember that he is your father-in-law. It seems that you haven't visited him much in the past five years." Qiao Shiyun snorted coldly.

"........."

Zijin stretched out her hand and waved Qiao Jinglian's hand on her shoulder. She rolled over and got out of bed, and stood in front of Qiao Shiyun, "...Dad, that's all I ask, I hope you can fulfill me."

"This matter is not something I can decide alone."

Qiao Shiyun coughed lightly, seemed to be weighing in her heart, and then said slowly, "Although the hospital belongs to our Qiao family, the doctors in it are not mine. They are all licensed. Things like this are beyond our control, Zijin, Dad hopes you can understand my difficulties, of course you are so filial, I will definitely help you."

With joy on Zijin's face, Qiao Shiyun said again: "...How about this, you and Jing Lian will first experience the scenery of the 5th anniversary. Although you have made such news before, I have already arranged it. Well, there will be quite a few reporters present tonight, and their questions will not be too sharp. Jing Lian was very outrageous before. You don’t need to worry about how to answer those reporters’ questions tonight, Jing Lian herself You know very well, you just need to cooperate with him.”

Zijin pursed her lips and said nothing, knowing that she couldn't refuse, but she still didn't feel good about it.

Qiao Shiyun probably saw that she was reluctant, and said: "Zijin, because of the previous news reports, the Qiao family has had a great negative impact. Tonight's 5th anniversary, you have to cooperate well, so that the world feels, You are a loving couple, as long as you get this matter done, I will help you find a solution for your father's affairs afterwards."

Zijin's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth almost subconsciously, "...Really? Dad, did you promise me?"

"I promise you, but I'm not sure if it's successful or not. I'll do my best."

Zijin thought, Qiao Shiyun has already said that, so it proves that basically it is not a problem anymore. When she thinks that she can live with her father and take care of him in the future, a big stone hangs in her heart all the time Finally, he let go a little bit, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, Dad, I promise you."

Qiao Jinglian, "..."

Although the woman next to him agreed to attend the 5th wedding anniversary, the feeling in his heart was like a wound that was cut open by her cruelly before, and was suddenly stained with a few drops of salt water. uncomfortable.

To get her to attend, it is better to make such a deal with the old man.

This was undoubtedly a naked reminder to him that his marriage with her was a deal from beginning to end, and Shen Dongming was the most important person.

…………

It was indeed a transaction, a transaction that he never cared about before, but now, when he thinks about it, he feels so uncomfortable.

※※※※※

8:[-] p.m.

Century Hotel in City C.

Qiao's status in City C is quite prominent. Qiao Shiyun had already decided before that the 5th anniversary was going to be celebrated this time, just in time for so many things that happened before. Now it seems that even if it is a little The suspicion of being a show, but those things of the wealthy family are also done for outsiders to see.

As long as you make this show well, outsiders will naturally spread it well.

…………

In the hotel room, Zijin had already dressed up a lot. Standing in front of the full-length mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror. For a moment, she felt strange.

The saying "A man depends on his clothes" is true at all. Zijin's facial features are relatively delicate. It will exude a very unique charm, and at this moment, after being meticulously groomed by the designer and makeup artist specially invited by the Qiao family, she can already label the word "amazing".

Originally, Bai Xi's skin looked more delicate and smooth now, and her clear eyes were drawn to reveal a bit of charm. She was already wearing a pair of long red dresses, the design was very simple, but still magnificent. It is close to the skin, and Zijin's chest shape is very beautiful. This kind of close-fitting design will make her chest appear fuller and more attractive. The back of the skirt is designed with an open back, an upside-down triangle shape , the skirt hangs all the way to the top of the instep, her skin is white, such a set of red long skirts is worn on her body, the smell is mature, charming, sexy, and at the same time reveals the uniqueness of Shen Zijin. That kind of shy taste is incisively and vividly.

"Miss Qiao, just wear these shoes."

The designer's assistant brought over the prepared pair of high-heeled shoes, which were black and simple in design, but the shoes were inlaid with many diamonds, twinkling and twinkling, and they were worth a lot at first glance.

Zijin didn't usually wear high heels much, but when he saw this pair of shoes, he wished they were seven inches tall, and he felt a lingering fear.

"... Is there anything else?"

"No, just this pair."

As soon as Zijin opened her mouth, Qiao Jinglian's voice came in. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head, and saw a man in formal attire standing in front of her.

Qiao Jinglian belongs to the kind of dandy young master with outstanding looks. In fact, no matter what he wears, he can bring out his romantic and chic taste. But today he is wearing an orthodox black suit with a white shirt inside. , it seems a lot more stable and mature.

Zijin looked away from his face without emotion, while Qiao Jinglian looked at her with straight eyes.

He never knew that the most beautiful woman was always by his side. She could be so charming that he couldn't take his eyes off the moment he saw her. with.

…………

"Young Master Lian, Young Mistress, the outside is about to begin."

Someone came in, stood at the door and knocked on the door, reminding the two of them.

Qiao Jinglian coughed lightly, and said I got it, she turned her side, just in time to see Zijin wearing shoes, he couldn't help walking over, trying to help her, Zijin happened to put on two shoes, and felt the man's big palm lightly It landed lightly on her waist, she just felt uncomfortable all over, and subconsciously stood aside, "...what are you doing?"

"........."

There were two designers and a small assistant standing beside them, and they were a little embarrassed when they heard Zijin's unfamiliar and indifferent words.

Qiao Jinglian's complexion was naturally not looking good, but he resisted losing his temper. He just kept his face cold and told the others to leave the room quickly, and then said to Zijin in a deep voice: "...I said today is ours. Your wedding anniversary, can't you change your attitude a little bit?"

Zijin, "..."

There was clearly something stuck in her throat, but when she heard Qiao Jinglian's tone just now, for some reason, she always felt that this young master who was once so arrogant and arrogant in front of her now spoke to her with a bit of a Unbearable humility and pleading.

She was not a cold-blooded animal, but she couldn't respond to what he wanted, so she could only look away bluntly.

"...You should know that I don't really want to attend such a boring anniversary, and you also know that the reason why I will attend is because of my father..."

"enough!"

Qiao Jinglian stepped forward suddenly, reached out and pressed Zijin's shoulder, gritted her teeth and growled, "If I don't like to hear it, from this second, shut up!"

"........."

"I know that because of my relationship, you were inexplicably placed under house arrest for 2 days, but Zijin, if I tell you that this kind of house arrest has won you to show affection in front of everyone with me, I actually don’t regret it at all.”

"Qiao Jinglian, you..."

"From now on, when we walk out of this room, there will be countless people watching us show our love, wife, you have to call me husband."

"........."

Qiao Jinglian reached out and grabbed Zijin's wrist, tightly clasping her soft little hand with her big palm. Zijin's face turned green with anger. She was struggling all the time and refused to cooperate. Qiao Jinglian simply reached out and provoked her. Her chin, her evil handsome face approached her a little bit, and she narrowed her eyes, "...Why are you trying to be brave with me now? Are you still planning to retreat?"

"Hand in hand with me obediently. Now that you've come to this point, let's finish this scene. Don't forget, if you really screw up, your father's affairs will definitely be useless."

The last sentence finally made Zijin compromise.

What's wrong with her now?I have already agreed to it before, and now everything is ready, but it is just holding hands with him... Even if she is uneasy, because there has been no news of Gu Yanshen for the past two days, and she doesn't know where he has gone. Her cell phone ran out of battery, and she couldn't contact anyone... But no matter what, she still told herself to finish this matter first, and then she would find a way to explain it to Gu Yanshen, he is not an unreasonable person , she thought, this matter should be made clear.

Zijin took two deep breaths slowly, and finally cooperated with Qiao Jinglian, but instead of clasping fingers with him, he reluctantly held his arm, ready to go out.

"...These shoes are very suitable for you, very beautiful, you can always hold my arm, I will not let you fall." Before going out, Qiao Jinglian took the opportunity to stick to her cochlea, with a low voice, with an ambiguous temperature, Said this sentence.

Zijin's body froze, and before he came back to his senses, he had already kept a good distance from her, and pulled her reluctantly out of the room.

…………

It is indeed a different scene outside, probably the entire upper class of City C gathered together.

This so-called "anniversary" was originally an opportunity for these celebrities to "communicate" with each other. It was the first time for Zijin to participate, and the protagonist was herself. When Qiao Jinglian brought her to the banquet hall, she felt uncomfortable. Comfortable.

She kept a stiff smile on her face all the time, and the pair of high heels on her feet killed her even more. They were manageable at first, but after standing for less than 10 minutes, she couldn't take it anymore.

Qiao Jinglian, on the other hand, was able to move freely among the crowd. Many people came up to toast and chat. Qiao Jinglian was able to maintain a certain demeanor, drink and respond.

Of course, during the period, Zijin would also have to drink a few glasses. In fact, she can't drink very well, but she couldn't refuse. After drinking two glasses, she felt tired and dizzy. Later, she really couldn't stand up. She finally couldn't help but approach Qiao Jinglian, and asked in a low voice: "...I'm very tired, I need to take a rest."

"Lean on me."

Qiao Jinglian stretched out her hand and gently squeezed her palm. The two of them were the protagonists tonight. After dressing up, standing in such a hall, every gesture was watched by someone, so when Qiao Jinglian approached, Zijin felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and always felt a little irritated, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously at this time. She turned her face away a little, and the eyebrows that were piled up were stained with the familiar color of Qiao Jinglian. disgust--

loathing for oneself.

His heart that had just warmed up a little bit, sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, and an unstoppable anger rose up.

Is he so annoying to her?

She acts like a stinking piece of trash all the time, and if you get any closer to her, she can't wait to avoid it...

Qiao Jinglian's breathing gradually became heavy. He had already drank alcohol, which made his negative emotions even stronger. He suddenly stretched out his hand, directly around the back of Zijin's neck, and hugged her into his arms. The two bodies were immediately pressed together tightly, and the man's scorching breath was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, blowing towards his face——

"...What are you hiding? Don't we have to show affection? How about your performance? Don't want your father to come out?"

Zijin stared at Qiao Jinglian with big dark eyes, and pursed her red lips without making a sound.

Qiao Jinglian smiled, and slowly caressed her cheek with his rough fingers, and with a hook of his thin lips, he moved closer to Zijin, "...you have to persevere when you are tired, there are still a few more in a while." If the reporters want to come over, the audience must be full for the show, you know?"

"...Also, don't look at me with such eyes, I'm afraid I really can't help it, want..."

Before Qiao Jinglian finished speaking, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall of the hotel. He thought it was a reporter who had arranged to come in, but he didn't want to. Someone beside him suddenly exclaimed, "...Is Gu Yanshen coming outside? ?”

Zijin felt a thud in his heart, almost subconsciously, pushing Qiao Jinglian away with both hands.

Qiao Jinglian was a little dazed at this moment, and when he didn't pay attention, he was pushed away by the quilt. He was unsteady and swayed for a while. Fortunately, at this time, everyone focused on the entrance of the banquet hall, and no one noticed their presence. is not normal.

"...It's really Gu Yanshen! Why did he come?" The female voice on the side was very excited.

"...What's so strange about this? He is now the president of Qiao's. On such a day, he will naturally show up."

"........."

Zijin's heart was in his throat, and there was only one thought in his chaotic head - Gu Yanshen came, he lost contact with her for 2 days and 2 nights, he came...

She turned around, and a lot of people had gathered at the entrance of the banquet hall. In such a noisy environment, Zijin could hear clearly—the sound of steady footsteps, one after another, was exceptionally clear.

Her eyes were full of light, and she looked at the slender male body, which seemed to fall from the sky, and came into view, as if it was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but it seemed to be within reach.

Zijin's throat was sore, her small hands pinched the skirt, and her breathing was a little short

Only she knows what she is thinking at this moment, this sour taste in the apex of her heart is constantly fermenting, reminding her of an out-and-out fact - 2 days of house arrest 2 At night, she misses him, misses him so much...
