the seventh bride

Chapter 73
"Young Master Chen...he ate badly at the snack street yesterday." Bai Muqing laughed.

"Ms. Chen went to the snack street to eat?" Assistant Yan's small face was immediately replaced by astonishment, did she hear correctly?
"Yes." Bai Muqing nodded.

Assistant Yan was surprised for a while, and finally came back to his senses and nodded: "Okay then, let Young Master Chen take a good rest, please tell him about the real estate and I will take care of it."

"Okay, I'll trouble Assistant Yan."

After Assistant Yan left, when Bai Muqing closed the door and returned to the house, Nangong Chen had already returned to the bed.He nestled under the quilt, staring at her unhappily.

After laughing and making trouble, Bai Muqing went to the bar and poured him a glass of warm water, then took out a few pills from the small box of Chang Yanning bought last night, handed them to him and said: "Take the medicine, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

"I want to get well today." Nan Gongchen said with an irritable expression.

If he wants to be fine today?Here it is again, this domineering and unreasonable personality.Bai Mu rolled her eyes speechlessly, she still thought he would be fine in a minute, but is it possible?
"What medicine did you buy? Show me all of them." Nangong Chen said again.

Bai Muqing had no choice but to bring the medicine-filled plastic to him. In addition to Xiaoshi tablets and Changyanning, there were also anti-inflammatory medicines in it.Nangong Chen opened all the medicine boxes, picked out a dozen, poured them all into his mouth, and swallowed them with warm water.

The movement was so fast that Bai Muqing couldn't stop it even if she wanted to, she stared at him and whispered: "You are crazy, be careful of poisoning if you eat this way."

Nangong Chen put the cup back on the table, his body sank, and he lay down on the bed, only showing a pair of eyes to stare at her: "You can go out and move freely, don't disturb me before noon."

Seeing him chasing people away, Bai Muqing nodded and exited his bedroom.

*****
Although Nangong Chen asked Bai Muqing to play by herself, but because Bai Muqing was worried about him, she had to stay in the hotel.

The whole morning, apart from sneaking in to visit Nangong Chen a few times, Bai Muqing sat on the deck chair in the garden and played games on her mobile phone.

It wasn't until it was almost lunch time that she went back to the kitchen on the first floor to cook some salty porridge.Looking at the time, he began to wonder whether he should call Nangong Chen up for lunch.

He didn't eat breakfast, he must be hungry.

She hadn't decided whether to call for someone, but there was a familiar sound of footsteps above the stairs, and then Nan Gongchen's figure appeared in front of her.

Nangong Chen in front of him was wearing a slim suit and polished leather shoes. Not only did he lose the embarrassment he had in the morning, he also returned to his usual refreshed and meticulous look.

"No more?" Bai Muqing looked up at him walking down the stairs, and asked with a smile.

Nangong Chen glanced at her displeasedly, and said mockingly, "Did you disappoint?"

"No way." Bai Muqing said, "It seems that those medicines are quite effective."

Seeing him going downstairs, she turned towards the door. She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Don't go, I cooked salt porridge for you, eat it before you go out."

She took Nangong Chen to the dining table and said: "Don't go to the hotel if you feel uncomfortable, eat something light to nourish your stomach."

Nangong Chen just woke up from hunger. Although he was very hungry, he had no appetite and couldn't eat too greasy food at all.As soon as Bai Muqing said that the porridge was cooked, she followed her back.

At this time, he couldn't eat anything other than light porridge.

Bai Muqing scooped up a bowl of porridge for him, and sat across from him to eat it herself.

"Where are you going soon? Is it a new building?" she asked.

Nangong Chen gave a shallow 'hmm'.

"Is it convenient for Fang to take me with you?" Bai Muqing asked suddenly, she had already stayed in the hotel all morning in the morning, and she really didn't want to stay any longer in the afternoon.

"Didn't you say you are familiar with this place? Why don't you go shopping by yourself?"

"It's boring to go shopping alone."

Nangong Chen lowered his head and ate the porridge, and stopped talking.

After eating the porridge, Bai Muqing ran upstairs to pick up her bag, then chased Nangong Chen out.

Nangong Chen didn't agree or disagree, she took it for granted that he agreed by default.

The two came to the office of the new real estate sales center together. When Assistant Yan saw the two of them, he stepped forward immediately, looked at Nangong Chen and said with concern: "Young Master Chen, I heard that your stomach is uncomfortable. Are you okay now?"

"It's okay." When Nangong Chen answered her, he unconsciously glanced at Bai Muqing who was next to him, and the woman was secretly smiling again.

He wondered, is it so funny that he has a bad stomach?As for being happy for so long?Besides, she was single-handedly harmed.

Assistant Yan glanced at Bai Muqing, and went into the small office with Nangong Chen.

Bai Muqing wandered around the sales hall, not wanting to attract the attention of others, so she went back to the office and sat down on a sofa.

The office on the second floor is made of glass, and she can clearly see the scene of the office from her perspective.At this time, Nan Gongchen was having a small meeting with the people from the legal department, and Assistant Yan was on his right side, chatting with him from time to time.

The scene was harmonious and enviable. Yes, she had always envied Assistant Yan for being able to have such close contact with Nangong Chen every day, and being needed by him all the time.

Probably not only her unpopular wife, but most of the female employees in the company would be envious, right?

It was the first time for Bai Muqing to see Nangong Chen at work, and it was almost the same as she imagined, serious and meticulous, completely Nangong Chen's temperament!

Since she got up early this morning and didn't have a lunch break in the afternoon, Bai Muqing sat on the sofa and read magazines for a while, and then began to feel drowsy.

She knew it was so boring here, so she stayed in the hotel to sleep. She regretted secretly in her heart, and flipped through a few pages of the magazine. Her head lowered, and she finally fell asleep uncontrollably.

People in the small office can also see the scene outside at a glance. Assistant Yan saw that Bai Muqing was asleep, and leaned against Nangong Chen, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Chen, Young Madam fell asleep on the sofa. .”

Nangong Chen looked up to the outside room, and sure enough, he saw Bai Muqing falling asleep on the armrest of the sofa.

"Is there a blanket?" he asked quietly.

"Yes." Assistant Yan nodded.

"Get one for her." After Nangong Chen finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to study the contract documents in his hand.

Assistant Yan stood up from the chair and went to fetch the blanket for Bai Muqing.

After the small meeting, the people from the legal department left the office, Nan Gongchen closed the folder, looked up to Assistant Yan and said, "Go and check something for me."

"What's the matter, Young Master Chen?"

"Give me the most complete information about the process and results of the purchase of the Zhu Family Courtyard in Xiyan Village."

"Zhu's small courtyard?" Assistant Yan was surprised, and said hesitantly: "Uh...Young Master Chen, didn't this matter go very easily and smoothly in Mr. He's hands back then? What exactly do you want me to investigate?"

He Feng, the current director of the marketing department, was brought into Nangong Group by Vice President Shen more than ten years ago. After Nangong Chen took over the company, he was transferred to his subordinates as the special assistant to the president.And he was promoted to the director of the marketing department three years ago. Because of his promotion, Assistant Yan, who was the secretary-general at the time and had excellent work ability, had the opportunity to replace him as the special assistant to the president.

The purchase of Zhu's courtyard happened when He Feng was the special assistant to the president. Although Assistant Yan knew about it, he never participated in it.

"Do you still remember how He Feng reported the result of this incident to me?"

"I remember he said that he bought a big villa for the Zhu family in the urban area, and the Zhu family was also very happy. Isn't that true?"

"That's right, I've been to that villa before."

"Uh... so what? Young Master Chen, what else do you want me to investigate?"

"Recently, I heard rumors that when He Feng bought the small courtyard of the Zhu family, he forced the old lady of the Zhu family to death." Nan Gongchen frowned thoughtfully.

When Bai Muqing mentioned this matter yesterday, he didn't believe it, because it was too far from what he knew.

He remembered that when he bought the house, there was no old lady Zhu in the Zhu family.

"Didn't the old lady of the Zhu family pass away a long time ago?" Assistant Yan asked puzzled.

"I want to know too." Nan Gongchen withdrew his gaze from Bai Muqing, and gradually became colder.

Assistant Yan nodded her head: "I understand, Young Master Chen."

"Well, give me an answer as soon as possible." Nan Gongchen stood up from the chair, returned to his own office chair and started working.

*****
When Bai Muqing woke up, she found herself lying on the sofa with a thin blanket covering her body.

She rubbed her eyes with her hands, looked around, and only woke up when her eyes fell on Nangong Chen inside the glass wall. This is not a home or a hotel, but an office!
She actually fell asleep in Nangong Chen's office, what a shame!
Pregnant women are indeed the group most prone to sleepiness. How could she have been sleepy regardless of time and place in the past?And he fell asleep on the spot in a disgraceful manner?

Besides, today is the opening day, there must be a lot of staff coming in and out of the office, they must have seen her sleeping, right?
After reading a document, Nangong Chen was about to pick up the water glass at the corner of the table to drink water, but when he raised his eyes, he found Bai Muqing standing upright inside the door.Because she had just woken up, not only was her hair disheveled, but her clothes were also a little disheveled.

"Are you awake?" he asked.

Bai Muqing pulled the corner of her clothes with her fingers in embarrassment, with obvious resentment on her face: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Wake you up for what? Worrying in front of me?"

"But... there are so many people here, it's so embarrassing." Bai Muqing said embarrassingly: "I don't care, the main reason is that people who are afraid of losing you."

"got used to."

"What do you mean?" Bai Muqing was puzzled.

"It means...Miss Bai, have you ever been graceful? Even once."

"..." Bai Muqing was speechless, is she so bad?
But it seems to be true. Every time I saw him before, I was in a mess. Later, when I was with him, I agreed to pretend to be elegant, but every time I couldn't pretend to be more than 2 minutes.

Nangong Chen lowered his head and continued to work, and at the same time threw her a sentence: "If you still have a little consideration for me, go and tidy up your hair."

Bai Muqing's face became hot, and she instinctively grabbed the curly hair on her head with her hands, then quickly turned around and left Nangong Chen's office, walking towards the bathroom.

Looking at the terrible self in the standing mirror, Bai Muqing instantly felt that Nangong Chen's tolerance was super strong, so she didn't throw her out.

She just said that in every bad man, there is always a little bit of goodness that deserves praise.

When she returned to the office, she had already cleaned herself up.

"Master, where are we going in a while?"

"Have a meal."

"and then?"

"sleep."

"Sleeping again? This... what a waste of time."

Nangong Chen raised his eyelids and stared at her: "Then what do you think should be done? Let's go to the snack street again?"

"No, let's not go to the snack street today, how about going to Nanmen Commercial Street?" Bai Muqing smiled flatteringly.

snack block?Even if she was beaten to death, she would not dare to take him there again. Even if he dared to eat it, she would not dare to eat it herself. After all, those things were either fried or deep-fried, and no matter how clean they were, there was no limit.

"Have you ever been to Nanmen Commercial Street?" Bai Muqing asked.

"I've been there a few times."

"Who did you go with?" Bai Muqing originally asked casually, but she didn't wait for a response until she realized that she seemed to have thrown the young master into the gutter of feelings again.

Who did you go with?Is there even a need to ask?

In order to alleviate his sudden cooling mood, she immediately said with a smile: "There are many interesting things in Nanmen Commercial Street, and it is a symbolic area of ​​Yancheng. People who travel here like to go there for a stroll. "

"I know."

"Then...do you want to go for a walk?"

"Tonight's dinner is just over there, after you finish eating, go shopping by yourself." Nangong Chen's eyes lightened slightly, and before she could speak, he said in a deep voice: "If you talk too much, I will order someone to send you back to City C immediately. "

After he said this, Bai Muqing didn't dare to talk anymore.

*****
The dinner in the evening was a gathering of more than a dozen executives from the company, and the venue was indeed near Nanmen Commercial Street.

Nangong Chen didn't have a good appetite, and he didn't like this kind of dinner party, so he ate something meaningfully and left.

Bai Muqing understood his personality, and followed him to the hotel gate without saying a word.

After leaving the hotel, the oncoming sea breeze was blowing on my body, and it was very comfortable with a hint of coolness.Bai Muqing pulled the small windbreaker on her body, and turned her head to look at Nangong Chen.

Assistant Yan, who followed the two downstairs, saw that the driver was not waiting at the door, so he stepped aside to make a call.

After she hung up the phone, she walked towards Nangong Chen and apologized on the frequency channel: "I'm sorry, Young Master Chen, Xiao Lin didn't expect you to leave so early and went to the commercial street to buy gifts for his girlfriend, and the party is rushing over on the way."

She lowered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't explain it well. I will let him apply for resignation after returning to City C."

As soon as she heard the word voluntarily resign, Bai Muqing, who was swiping her phone screen with her head down, raised her head and looked at the two of them back and forth: "Isn't it? Is this how you get fired?"

It was such a small matter, she didn't take it seriously when she first heard about it.

Assistant Yan glanced at her and said nothing, obviously waiting for Nangong Chen's response.

Bai Muqing continued to say without fear of death: "Which boss is like you, who left the party within 10 minutes after the agreed dinner. It's Xiao Lin's first visit to Yancheng, and I guess you won't come out for at least two hours, so I dared to steal I went to buy a gift for my girlfriend. Just because of their love for my girlfriend, I can’t just fire someone so casually. As the saying goes, people who love their families will love their jobs, and people who love their jobs will be dedicated ,Is not it?"

Assistant Yan glanced at Nangong Chen secretly, and said, "Young Madam, this is the company's regulation."

"Guiju is dead, but people are alive. If you don't tell me about this matter, I won't tell you. If Young Master Chen doesn't tell you, there won't be a fourth person to know about it." Bai Muqing poked Nangong Chen's arm with her finger: "Okay, don't put on a stinky face, what a beautiful night, at worst, let's go shopping in the commercial street."

Nangong Chen glanced at her sideways, said so much, this is her ultimate goal, right?

In fact, it is not difficult to wait for Xiao Lin to rush over, but he still walked towards the commercial street.Bai Muqing was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

I didn't expect Nangong Chen to be moved by her words, but I wonder if he will fire that poor Xiao Lin after he goes back?
This point is the busiest time for the commercial street. There are all kinds of Yancheng specialty shops on both sides of the street, and tourists with big bags can be seen everywhere.

Nangong Chen doesn't like excitement, and looks like he lacked interest just like yesterday.On the contrary, when Bai Muqing saw the lively scene, all the blood in her body boiled, she wished she could go in every store and touch every product.

When passing by a shawl specialty store, Bai Muqing looked at the shawls inside and asked curiously: "Young Master Chen, have you ever bought a gift for grandma when you grow up?"

After waiting for a long while without getting a response, Bai Muqing turned her head around, only to find that Nangong Chen was looking at something obsessively.She followed his gaze, and through the crowd, she saw a young girl choosing accessories in front of a jewelry stall from a distance.

The girl was facing this side, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and a tall figure.She lowered her head and concentrated on picking, a few broken hair fell down her cheeks, covering some of her face.

Even so, looking at it from this angle still gives people a somewhat familiar feeling.

If she hadn't peeked at Miss Zhu's photo on Nangongchen's phone, Bai Muqing would have thought that Nangongchen was just like an ordinary man who simply liked to peek at beauties on the street.

This girl seemed to be sent by heaven to relieve Nan Gongchen's lovesickness, she came and left suddenly, in the blink of an eye, she was no longer seen in front of the jewelry booth.

Nangong Chen started walking numbly and wanted to find him, but Bai Muqing hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Young Master Chen, I'm asking you something."

Nangong Chen was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head as if suddenly awakened: "What?"

what is he doingHow many years have passed, and you are still fantasizing about meeting her in this familiar commercial street?His heart was full of self-deprecating wry smiles, but his gaze still couldn't help but look in the direction where the girl disappeared.

It's so similar!

Bai Muqing pretended that she didn't know anything, and asked again with a smile: "Have you ever bought a gift for grandma?"

"No."

"Then shall we go and buy her a shawl?"

"Okay." Nangong Chen nodded, feeling a little out of sorts.

Bai Muqing dragged him into the shawl specialty store, and while choosing shawls, she discussed the price with the boss. When the boss heard that she said it was for the old lady, he took a darker one from the shelf and handed it to her: "Miss, this red one is pretty good, it's more suitable for older women, and it's very luxurious when worn on the body."

"Is there any discount?" Bai Muqing took it and looked at it, it looked really good, more suitable for rich old ladies.

The boss smiled and said, "It's the real price above. Although the price is a bit expensive, you get what you pay for."

The price is indeed a bit expensive, but as an old lady, it would be inappropriate to buy one that is too cheap for her, so it is better to buy it more expensive.

Holding the shawl, she turned around and asked Nangong Chen, "Young Master Chen, what do you think?"

However, Nan Gongchen was no longer behind her, she put down her shawl and walked out of the shop quickly.

No, still no.

He still left after all, is he going to find the girl just now?Bai Muqing took a light breath bitterly.

Just holding him back and leaving him behind is actually to tell him that those people who once abandoned him are not worth chasing even if they are close at hand.

But obviously, Nangong Chen didn't care about these things, his love for that woman was so deep that he couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and disregarded principles.

Walking alone on the coastal road, Bai Muqing shivered unconsciously when the cold sea breeze blew in her face.Just now I felt that the sea breeze of Yancheng was very comfortable on my face, but now I feel as cold as a knife.

It turns out that even the hair blowing depends on the mood. When the mood is good, everything is good, the wind is good, the night is good, and Nangong Chen is better.

Could it be that he got used to having Nangong Chen by his side in the past two days, so he felt so lonely and uncomfortable when he was left alone?

No, she is not alone, she has him....

Unconsciously caressing the still flat lower abdomen with her little hands, Bai Muqing murmured with a wry smile: "Baby, is Mommy delusional again?"

The previous lesson was not deep enough, so he started dreaming of replacing that woman, being in harmony with him, and being in harmony.

It's really...incomprehensible!

Bai Muqing walked back to the hotel where she was staying alone. When she arrived, the room was brightly lit, but there was no figure of Nan Gongchen, and a little disappointment flashed in her heart.

It was already ten o'clock, but he hadn't come back yet.

She took a deep breath, threw the shopping bag on the sofa, found a set of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Nangong Chen didn't return to the hotel until twelve o'clock. When he arrived, Bai Muqing, who was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom watching TV, had already fallen asleep, leaning on the armrest of the sofa.

She slept very lightly because she was waiting for Nangong Chen to come back.

So even though Nangong Chen had deliberately slowed down her steps, she was still awakened.

She quietly opened her eyes, Nangong Chen in front of her was holding a suit jacket in her hands, and two buttons of her shirt were unbuttoned casually, messy yet wild.

She stood up from the sofa suddenly, and while arranging her hair and pajamas with her hands, she said, "You are back."
