the seventh bride

Chapter 101 Candlelight Dinner
"Wait, I haven't settled with you yet!" Bai Muqing grabbed her.

Yao Mei let down her anger and rolled her eyes: "I thought it was over, okay, I know I was wrong, I promise I won't betray you again next time, okay? No matter what she says will rebel."

Seeing her silence, Yao Mei's face fell down: "Then what do you want?"

"Bring me to hot pot tonight."

"It's a small thing, as long as you're not afraid of the heat."

"I'm not afraid." Bai Muqing shook her head. When she heard Pu Bianyao said that she was going to eat hot pot this morning, she suddenly wanted to eat it too, and she hadn't eaten it for more than half a year.

"Okay, I happen to want to eat too." Yao Mei smiled and led her to the door of the private room.

*****
Assistant Yan returned to the office after finishing her work, and it happened to be lunch break.When passing the secretarial department, the secretaries greeted her politely.

After Assistant Yan nodded to everyone, she continued to walk towards her office, but stopped after taking a few steps, and turned to walk towards one of the girls.

"Assistant Yan, what's the matter?" Secretary Lin saw her walking towards him, and immediately stood up from her chair.

Generally speaking, Assistant Yan would not talk nonsense to them, even during lunch break.

Assistant Yan came to stand in front of her, smiled at her and said, "I remember you read a maternity fashion magazine last time, is the magazine still there?"

Secretary Lin couldn't understand why she suddenly asked this, and said cautiously: "It's still there...but we haven't read it at any other time except for the lunch break last time."

"Can you lend me a look?" Assistant Yan said.

Secretary Lin was slightly surprised. She was always meticulous. Assistant Yan, who didn't even waste time reading newspapers in the office, actually asked her to borrow fashion magazines?And a maternity fashion magazine?

"Okay, I'll find it for you right away." Secretary Lin immediately bent down, took out the fashion magazine from the cabinet and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Assistant Yan took the magazine, glanced at her slightly protruding belly and smiled, "I will try to get Xiang Chen to give you two months' maternity leave."

"Thank you Assistant Yan." Secretary Lin said happily to her back.

Working in Nangong Group has three months more maternity leave than other companies. If she is given another two months, wouldn't she be able to go home immediately to raise her baby?
"Look at her smug face. Could it be that she is pregnant with Chen Shao's flesh and blood and is about to fly up the branch and become a phoenix?" Secretary Liu, who was not used to seeing Assistant Yan, suddenly leaned over and mocked with a look of disdain .

"Be careful with your mouth." Secretary Lin tapped her cheek with his hand: "Misfortune comes out of your mouth, do you know the consequences of spreading rumors indiscriminately?"

Secretary Liu saw that Assistant Yan was looking for maternity clothing magazines, and decided that she must be pregnant with Chen Shao's flesh and blood. She became more and more jealous of her, and said secretly: "Everyone in the company doesn't know that Yan Assistant and Young Master Chen..."

"Shh..." To avoid suspicion, Secretary Lin took a step to the side and made a stop gesture to her: "You want to find someone else to gossip about it, I don't want to hear it."

"Don't look for me either, I don't want to be fired yet." The other two secretaries hurriedly expressed their positions.

Which boss doesn't have a relationship with his secretary or assistant? Besides, Assistant Yan has a high degree of education, good looks, and a good figure. Even if she really has a relationship with Chen Shao, it's not surprising.

It is not easy to climb to this position, they just want to keep their jobs now, and the premise of keeping their jobs is to do more and talk less.

*****
Assistant Yan knocked on the door and walked into Nangong Chen's office, handed the folder in his hand to the desktop in front of him and said, "Young Master Chen, this is the latest revised contract. Check to see if there are any problems."

"Let's put it away for now." Nangong Chen was reading a document without raising his head.

After Assistant Yan put down the contract, she didn't leave as usual, but looked at him and said, "Young Master Chen, can I take a moment of your time?"

"What's the matter?" Someone still didn't lift his head.

"Look at this first." Assistant Yan handed the clothing magazine in front of him again, her tone still respectful and polite.

Nangong Chen put down the file, took a glance at the magazine, then frowned and looked at her, apparently also surprised that she would be in the company's fashion magazine, and even shared it with him.

"You want me to pick clothes for you?" He raised his eyebrows and asked displeasedly.

"Young Master Chen, I just met Mrs. Young in the coffee shop, but I found that Secretary Lin in the secretarial department is dressed better than her. Do you think this is appropriate?" Assistant Yan asked.

When she met Bai Muqing at the coffee door just now, she could tell at a glance that her clothes didn't fit at all, and the matching was a mess.

"Did you see her at the coffee shop?"

"Yes."

"Who is she with?"

"The second young master of the Lin family." Seeing Nan Gongchen's face darken for a moment, Assistant Yan immediately bent his lips and said, "Look, if you don't treat yourself well and don't let other men hurt you, that's what rich men like you do. Inferiority."

"Who are you with?"

"Alone, I heard she said that she has an appointment with a friend." Assistant Yan pointed at the pictures on the magazine: "I checked a few sets on it that I thought were good, check to see if there is any problem, if not, I will place an order for you gone."

Nangong Chen glanced at the maternity clothes in the magazine again, all of them were beautiful, but... He raised his eyelids and stared at Assistant Yan: "Are you forcing me to buy clothes for her?"

"Young Master Chen, this is a suggestion, not a coercion."

"No need." Nangong Chen closed the magazine casually, and said: "She has a card in her hand, and she will buy clothes if she lacks them."

Offer to buy her clothes?Thinking of the setback he encountered this morning, he is still very annoyed to this day.

Inviting her to dinner with good intentions, she actually refused him with a face. He was the one who threatened, and he was the one who offered to be nice. What else did she want?

"Young Master Chen, are you sure?" Assistant Yan asked.

"I'm sure." Nangong Chen said impatiently.

Assistant Yan nodded, turned around and walked out of his office with the magazine in hand.

Nangong Chen thought that he had made his rejection very clear, and he was not procrastinating. He also always thought that Assistant Yan was a meticulous assistant who never caused trouble and obeyed his orders.

But this time...

Looking at the pile of shopping bags in the trunk and the familiar LOGO on the shopping bags, he took out his mobile phone and started dialing.

"Cousin, are you back?" Nan Gongchen paused his dialing fingers, put the phone back, turned around and smiled at Shen Xin.

"Hey, what day is it today? Why did my cousin buy so many things?" Shen Xin walked up with a surprised face, and while looking through the shopping bags in his trunk, she exclaimed: "So many clothes are all Did you buy it for sister-in-law? Clothes of this brand seem quite expensive, right, sister-in-law."

She advanced one of the bags and shook it at Pu Lianyao who was behind her.

Pu Lianyao was also looking at these shopping bags, and immediately nodded in agreement after hearing what Shen Xin said: "That's right, this brand of clothes is indeed quite expensive, my cousin is really kind to my cousin."

Nangong Chen put the mobile phone back into his pocket, it seems that the call can't be made, and the things can't be returned.

"Cousin, let's help you carry it in together." Shen Xin said while moving the shopping bag out.Then he stuffed the first shopping bag into Pu Lianyao's hands, and he held the rest of the bags in his hands: "Let's go, let's go in."

When the two of them went up to the second floor together, Bai Muqing was boringly sketching with a pencil in the bedroom. When she saw the two of them coming in with big and small bags, she immediately put down her notebook and pen and stood up from the sofa.

"Cousin, look, cousin bought you a lot of new clothes." Shen Xin put the new clothes in front of Bai Muqing.

"There are more here." Pu Lianyao also put the bag in her hand on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Cousin sister-in-law, look at how kind my cousin is to you, it's so good that it makes people jealous."

"Sister-in-law, don't just be jealous of cousin-in-law, my brother treats you badly." Shen Xin asked with a smile.

"But your brother has never bought me so many clothes at once." Pu Lianyao said while fiddling with the new clothes in her hand, "Cousin sister, these clothes look very beautiful, go and try them on." Show us."

Bai Muqing looked at the seven or eight bags in front of her, with a faint surprise on her face, so many clothes... Did Nangong Chen really buy them?What is he crazy about today?

Inexplicably asked her to have dinner with her this morning, and then bought her so many clothes inexplicably, what did he mean?
"I'm inconvenient, so don't bother me, and look after me later when I wear it." She said a little out of control.

After she said that, Pu Lianyao was naturally too embarrassed to let her try it on again, and put the clothes back into the bag with a smile: "Okay then, I won't bother you."

Shen Xin noticed that Nan Gongchen came in from the door and tugged on the corner of Pu Lianyao's clothes. After the two of them looked at each other, Pu Lianyao said with interest, "Well then, cousin, we won't bother you."

After finishing speaking, the two left Bai Muqing's bedroom together.

Bai Muqing didn't notice that Nangong Chen came in, she was sitting on the sofa looking at the tag price on the clothes, the price of each item was so expensive that it made her feel distressed.

But regardless of the price, the style and color stains of each piece look good, and it feels very comfortable to the touch. You really get what you pay for.

"Don't you like it?" Nan Gongchen sat down on the sofa opposite her and looked at the clothes she was wearing, which were indeed a bit nondescript.

Bai Muqing was taken aback by him, put the clothes in her hand back into the bag, and said, "Actually, you don't need to buy so many clothes for me."

"Assistant Yan bought it." Nan Gongchen consciously distanced himself from the relationship.

After all, he had already touched a nail tonight, and it would be a shame to touch it again. He didn't have the courage to humble himself so far.

"Assistant Yan?" Bai Muqing smiled mockingly, did she choose clothes for her herself?What is she trying to express?To express her position in Nangong Chen's heart?
They were beautiful indeed, but nothing could be more beautiful than the sexy black dress she was wearing that night.

Bai Muqing doesn't like to use a sharp attitude to guess a person, she took a deep breath in her heart, reminding herself not to live like a jealous woman, because it's not worth it.

"What are you laughing at?" Nan Gongchen was puzzled.

"It's nothing, thank her for me." Bai Muqing regained her composure.

"Are you still misunderstood me and her?" Nangong Chen frowned, he always hated being misunderstood the most.

"not at all."

"You obviously have it." Nangong Chen said angrily: "Miss Bai, don't you know me yet? I never deny that I have someone outside, and I never thought about denying it. If Assistant Yan and I really have something , I don’t need to hide it, because we don’t violate national laws or company regulations, and no one can do anything to me.”

He was right, for a man like him who is above [-] people, what does it matter if he has something to do with his female subordinates?It's just... Bai Muqing still couldn't let go of the fact that Zhu's courtyard was under Assistant Yan's name.

"It's okay, if you really don't want them so much, just burn them with a torch." After Nangong Chen finished speaking, he copied the bags on the sofa and threw them into the trash can.

Bai Muqing hastily stretched out her hand to grab a corner of the bag, and said, "I never said no, besides, it wasn't her money, why didn't I dare to take it?"

Nangong Chen looked at her little hand holding the bag, and sneered mockingly: "I thought you had a lot of backbone, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."

Bai Muqing's face darkened, she pulled the bag back, raised her head and smiled back at him: "Thank you, I like them very much."

Nangong Chen sat back on the sofa, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued to clarify the sincerity of buying her clothes: "When you go out in the future, remember to dress appropriately, and don't forget your identity."

"I see." Bai Muqing put the bags one by one into the cloakroom, stared at him and asked, "Is there anything else, young master?"

"Yes, come here."

Bai Muqing didn't understand what he wanted to do, so she hesitated for a while and then walked over. As soon as she got close to him, she swayed and leaned forward, and was held by his lap.Immediately afterwards, his body pressed down, pushing her down on the sofa.

"Are you driving me away?" His lips rubbed against hers, his face full of anger.

What made Bai Muqing feel relieved was that he didn't press her too tightly, and he could still take care of the fact that she was a pregnant woman when he was angry. Does this mean that he still cares about her and this child?
What is he going to do now?Do you want to do that kind of thing with her?

Since he knew she was pregnant, he hadn't touched her once in the past month or so, and his physical needs were probably taken care of outside.But why didn't he solve it outside tonight?He should go outside....

She turned her face away slightly, avoiding his lips.

Her aura towards him had already changed from infatuation to resistance. After he kissed her, she felt that she had sinned deeply and felt sorry for the tragic death of her grandmother.

Feeling his displeasure, she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant? If you are really thinking about the child, you should have told me earlier." Nangong Chen slightly propped up his body, stared at her and sneered: "During the dangerous period of the first three months, I seem to have troubled you a lot. What if What if I crushed the child with all my might?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but frowned and recalled the mode of getting along with her some time ago.

It seemed that every time he wanted her, she would find all kinds of reasons to shirk, and every time he thought she refused because he rejected him, and every time he was angry with her.

Thinking about it now, fortunately, I haven't done too abnormally in this aspect, otherwise this child might have been suppressed by him long ago.

He took a deep breath: "During the dangerous period, I didn't see anything happen to the baby? Now that the baby has grown up and stabilized, there will be nothing wrong with it, right?"

When he said this, since Bai Muqing couldn't find a reason to refute, when his lips fell again, she could only close her eyes, suppress the resistance in her heart, and let him do whatever he wanted on her lips. .

In fact, Nangong Chen didn't really want her at this time, but was just dissatisfied with her behavior of driving him away. He wanted her to know his identity as a wife.He wanted her to know that he was her god, her husband, not someone she could fling at will.

But this hug and kiss made him change his original intention, and his body began to boil uncontrollably.

He wants her, right now.

He was intoxicated by the lust he created, until he touched her slightly swollen abdomen with his palms, then he woke up a little bit, stepped away from her, and sat up straight while suppressing the passion in his body.

Bai Muqing was slightly surprised, she opened her eyes a little and only then did she realize that Nangong Chen had actually gotten up from her body.how come?She thought he would directly ask her here regardless of her feelings.

Nangong Chen tugged at his neckline and stood up from the sofa: "I see that you are a pregnant woman, I will let you go today."

Bai Muqing then sat up from the sofa, but her face still had a defensive look.

Nangong Chen didn't intend to get up and leave, and Bai Muqing didn't dare to act rashly as she huddled on the sofa. It was really embarrassing to be silent like this, and it seemed very difficult to chat with him, because there was nothing to chat with him at all.

After a long while, Bai Muqing hesitantly uttered a very simple sentence: "Why did you come back so early?"

"Aren't you too?" Nangong Chen looked at her: "Didn't you say you were eating out with your friends?"

Could it be that he lied to him again?
"Come back after eating."

"What did you eat?"

"Hot pot." Bai Muqing said truthfully.

He probably won't eat such a civilian thing in his life.

Sure enough, he leaned over to stare at her and said, "Really? I've always been curious about what hot pot tastes like." After speaking, he kissed her lips.

Bai Muqing raised her hand to cover his lips: "I just brushed my teeth."

"I brushed my teeth so early, it's a pity..." Nan Gongchen pretended to be disappointed, retracted his body, and retreated.

The progress of the conversation between each other was somewhat difficult, Bai Muqing didn't even know what to say next, so she looked up at him and said, "Aren't you going to take a bath?"

Nangong Chen nodded, got up and walked to the desire room.

*****
The next day, Bai Muqing searched the closet for a week, and finally found one from the pile of new clothes to wear on her body. It was just the right size and felt very comfortable to wear.

The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was that these clothes were bought by Assistant Yan, and it always felt weird to wear them.

When she went down to the first floor, Pu Lianyao smiled and praised her for her beautiful clothes and Nan Gongchen's good eyesight.

Nangong Chen glanced sideways at Bai Muqing, she was indeed pretty good, so she sent two words to Pu Lianyao: "Thank you."

"I'm telling the truth, thank you." Pu Lianyao leaned over to Bai Muqing and said with a smile, "Cousin sister-in-law, cousin, he's just boring. He's obviously nice to everyone, but he never says it out."

Bai Muqing smiled and said nothing.

After breakfast, everyone went to their own business as usual. Bai Muqing stayed at home bored all morning. After waking up from lunch break, she left Nangong's house and went to play with the children in the orphanage. When dinner was approaching, she received a text message from Nangong Chen, asking She eats dinner together.

When Bai Muqing first heard the news, her heart was filled with astonishment, she didn't understand why Nangong Chen was so considerate to her recently.Is it like the book said, if you don't have anything to do, you are either rape or steal?

He had already rejected him yesterday, and it would not be good if he refused again today, so she had no choice but to come to the address Nangong Chen gave her as promised.

This is a high-end western restaurant with romantic and exquisite decoration, and it seems that it is mainly for couples.

When she came to the reserved private room, Nan Gongchen hadn't arrived yet, and the private room was still themed on romance, with roses, candlesticks and red wine.

The waiter respectfully handed her a glass of lemon, and she took a sip from the glass, then there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then Nan Gongchen walked in under the leadership of the waitress.

Seeing Bai Muqing in the private room, Nangong Chen was obviously surprised across his face.Bai Muqing caught it, but she didn't understand the reason.

Why should he be surprised?Didn't he ask her to come over?

She stood up from her chair, stared at him and asked, "Did I go wrong? Or did you go wrong?"

"Since you're here, there's nothing wrong or right." Nan Gongchen stepped forward and pushed her back on the chair, and after explaining to the waiter, he said to Bai Muqing, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

After speaking, he walked to the bathroom next to the door. The door panel of the bathroom is very soundproof. Nangong Chen didn't even need to suppress his voice too much. Holding the phone, he said angrily, "Yan Yue! What do you want to do?"

Assistant Yan on the other end of the phone was as serious as ever: "Repair the relationship between you and the young lady."

"This is not the scope of your duties." Nangong Chen was displeased.

He doesn't dislike having dinner with Bai Muqing, but he doesn't like to use this way, it will make Bai Muqing feel that he can't do without her, so he has to try his best to please her.

"It was I who caused Mrs. Chen to misunderstand Mrs. Chen. I am responsible."

"If she misunderstood, let her misunderstand." Nan Gongchen said a little annoyed, but he could feel that Bai Muqing didn't alienate him simply because of Assistant Yan.She's not so stubborn, nor is she so vengeful.

"Young Master Chen, I don't care what the people in the company say about me and you, but I don't want it to affect the relationship between you and Mrs. Young." After Assistant Yan finished speaking, he said, "Young Master Chen, at worst, you can deduct my performance award for this month. ,have a good meal."

After Assistant Yan finished speaking, she didn't dare to hang up the phone directly, but quietly waited for Nangong Chen to hang up first, which was the rule for talking to her boss.

Nangong Chen gritted his teeth, and spit out: "Yesterday and today, a total of two months of performance awards, you have to tell the accountant yourself."

"Okay, Young Master Chen." Assistant Yan was speechless for a moment, and by the time she said this, Nangong Chen had already hung up the phone.
