my name, your last name
Chapter 25 The Heart Has Made a Choice
Chapter 25 The Heart Has Made a Choice
The second time I came to W City, Gan Lu took the high-speed train, which was really fast, but it took only three hours to arrive. The conference team at the train station picked up the station and arranged accommodation. She and a female teacher from a prefecture-level city in a neighboring province They live in the same room, and in the afternoon, they are arranged to attend public lectures at a key middle school in W City, and there will be a lecture in the evening.
After the seminar on the second day, we came out of the dining place. According to the teacher at the reception, it was not too far from the hotel. Everyone decided to walk back, chatting and laughing all the way, walking in twos and threes.
The last time Gan Lu walked through the city was not a pleasant memory.However, she doesn't like to indulge in self-harm and self-pity. As a teacher, she rarely has the opportunity to travel, and it is also a kind of relaxation to temporarily escape the monotonous work day after day.The weather was fine that day, the spring breeze was beautiful and warm, and she walked along the sidewalk, chatting with her companions, and her mood improved involuntarily.
Shang Xiuwen called to ask her what she was doing, she slowed down a little, lagged behind, and said with a smile: "Wandering. This road is called Chunming Road, and there are a lot of poplars planted, and the street is very quiet."
"I know that place. The nearby roads all start with the word Chun, Chunming Road, Chunshen Road, Chunhe Road, Chunfeng Road, and Chunjiang Road."
Gan Lu was moved by these poetic names: "These road names are very beautiful and match this season very well."
"My family used to live on Chunshen Road, and I lived there for nearly ten years. That road is parallel to Chunming Road, not far away, and there are many paulownias planted, and purple flowers bloom in this season, which is very beautiful." Shang There was exhaustion in Xiuwen's voice, "I wish I had time, and I can walk with you."
"Are you tired?"
"Yes, a little."
"You're not still in the office, are you?" Shang Xiuwen only smiled softly, and she said helplessly, "Forcing others to accompany you to work overtime is not good, and you have to pay attention to your health."
"I'm going to receive several big clients this weekend, and I'm afraid I still don't have time to go back."
"I'll tell mom. I'm almost at the hotel, you go to dinner right away."
Putting down her mobile phone, Gan Lu asked the reception teacher for directions, and only said that she wanted to go around alone before going back to the hotel.She walked through a narrow alley and walked about 100 meters, and she saw a straight asphalt road.
This road is the same as the Chunming Road she walked just now, it is not wide and lively, but has a sense of tranquility that is rare in the urban area.But the paulownia trees with purple flowers were not planted on both sides of the road as Shang Xiuwen said. She was a little hesitant when she saw a gray-haired old man leisurely walking by the side of the road, and asked quickly: "Hello, my friend." I would like to ask, is this road Chunshen Road?"
The old gentleman was very kind and nodded: "Yes."
"Are these trees paulownia?" She pointed to the small trees beside the road.
The old man smiled: "These are eucalyptus trees. The paulownia was replaced by a unified government a few years ago. Unfortunately, after decades of planting, they are all big trees with beautiful flowers. But it is said that the tree material is loose, In a certain year, it is not suitable to be a street tree, and there was a letter from citizens discussing it in the newspaper at that time.”
Thanks to the old gentleman, Gan Lu walked slowly along the sidewalk.She thought that after Shang Xiuwen ended his father's company and sold the house that year, he never returned to this city, let alone visited his past residence.The so-called vicissitudes of life seem to be just an empty term, but those fundamentally irresistible changes in life are quietly happening every moment.
He lived on this road for ten years, watching the paulownia flowers bloom and fall, from a young boy to a youthful youth, had a happy time of youth and frivolity, and a high-spirited love, until he left sadly and never looked back.
And when she was a girl, there was also a road buried deep in her memories. On the road, there were luxuriant sycamore trees, alleys criss-crossing like a maze, and a tall boy's back.
Those roads that exist in memory are no longer the same, everyone has their own past, who can intervene in that period of time in someone's life that cannot be returned.
Finally at the intersection, there was a busy avenue in front of her. She looked back at the street sign on Chunshen Road, and said goodbye to Shang Xiuwen from the bottom of her heart.Let the memories settle down in her heart, what she wants to participate in is his present and future life; what they have to face together is the endless years in the future.
At noon on the second day, the learning and exchange activities ended.Several teachers wanted to use the weekend to visit local attractions and postponed their return for a day or two. Gan Lu went directly to the long-distance bus station and got on the bus bound for J City.
The entire distance between City W and City J is an expressway. The road is lined with spring scenery, pink willows and green fields, and the verdant fields stretch to the end of the line of sight. It takes more than three hours to arrive in City J. After she leaves the passenger station, He called a taxi and went directly to the office building rented by Xusheng Iron and Steel Company in the urban area.When Shang Xiuwen called her the day before, she didn't mention that she would come over today, she wanted to surprise him.But when she arrived, she was still a little hesitant, not sure if this counted as disturbing his work.
She checked the time, but it was 03:30 in the afternoon. If she wanted to wait until he got off work, she would have to wander alone in this city. It occupied the office area on five floors, and the chairman's office was on the sixteenth floor before she got on the elevator.
The door of the office was closed tightly, and a young girl who looked like a secretary was sitting in the reception area outside, and asked her in an orderly tone: "What is your name, please? Do you have an appointment with the chairman?"
She had always worked in the school, but had never seen such a scene, so she could only say, "My name is Gan, and I don't have an appointment."
"I'm sorry, if you don't have an appointment, I'm afraid I can't arrange for you to meet the chairman. Please go to the office to contact the director first, explain your purpose of coming, and let him arrange which department will receive you."
She thought amusedly, it seems that this unexpected surprise is very difficult to play successfully.She took out her mobile phone and was about to call Shang Xiuwen's number, but the girl suddenly stood up with a surprised expression: "Are you Mr. Shang's wife?"
She was startled: "Uh, I'm Shang Xiuwen's wife."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Shang, I didn't recognize you just now."
"We haven't met, it's normal not to know me."
"There is a photo of you on Mr. Shang's desk. Please go in and sit down. Would you like me to call Mr. Shang? He has a meeting in the city, and I don't know how long it will take to come back."
"No, I'll just wait here." Gan Lu followed her into the office, which was covered with thick dark carpets. A bookshelf of thread-bound books, and a group of carved chairs and coffee tables are placed by the window.All the furniture is made of dark solid wood, and there is a piece of "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" written by famous masters on the wall. This is obviously Wu Changzhi's interest, and Shang Xiuwen didn't make any changes.
"Thank you, go get busy, I'll just sit alone for a while."
The secretary agreed and withdrew.She walked to the desk with some curiosity, and there was indeed a photo frame on it, which contained the photos she and Shang Xiuwen took during their honeymoon in the Maldives.
She picked up the photo frame and stared at it. In the photo, Shang Xiuwen was looking down at her slightly, with a smile extending from the bottom of his eyes to the corner of his mouth, and she smiled carefree.
There was a light knock on the door, and the secretary came in with a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shang, you can sit down wherever you want. This is the bathroom. If you are tired, there is a small lounge behind the door. Mr. Shang usually I'll rest there. I'm just outside, and you can call me if you need anything."
Gan Lu thanked again: "Thank you, if Mr. Shang calls back, don't tell him I'm here."
The young secretary, who clearly had a natural interest in any arrangement involving romance, nodded with an excited smile and walked out, closing the door behind her backhand.
Gan Lu sat on the uncomfortable chair and read a book for a while, feeling bored, she walked over and opened the partition door that seemed to be integrated with the bookshelf, and there was indeed a small lounge inside. A single bed, a massage chair, very clean.She lived in the same room with a stranger these days, and she didn't sleep well. In addition, she was somewhat tired after riding for more than three hours today. She put down her luggage bag, took off her coat and shoes, and lay down on the bed. After a while, he fell asleep dimly.
When the outside door rang, she woke up with a start. She didn't know how long she had slept, but Shang Xiuwen's voice came in: "Take this information to Mr. Wei immediately, and ask him to check the data with you. , Inform other senior executives of the company to hold a meeting at six o'clock."
The secretary agreed and walked out. Gan Lu sat up and looked at her watch. It was almost 05:30. Unexpectedly, he had to go to a meeting, and he was so busy. She felt a little distressed.She was about to put on her shoes and go out, when the office door was pushed open again, and a person came in, Shang Xiuwen's voice sounded: "Miss He, I don't remember that I made an appointment with you, and you better remember to knock Door."
Gan Lu froze immediately, keeping her foot half in the shoe, her heart beating wildly.She was nervous for no reason, and almost wanted to go out immediately, but she couldn't help but want to listen. Such ambivalence made her lose the ability to act.
He Jingyi approached his desk, stared at him closely, and asked sharply: "Shang Xiuwen, did you instigate Wu Wei to do this?"
"what's up?"
"He... blackmailed me."
"It has nothing to do with me." Shang Xiuwen replied briefly.
He Jingyi's shoulders suddenly slumped, as if he was relieved, but also seemed to have lost the momentum of asking the teacher just now, and his voice was much lower: "I knew that you would not treat me like this, Xiuwen."
Shang Xiuwen did not respond.
He Jingyi said urgently: "Please find Wu Wei for me immediately, and ask him to hand over the recording file to me. The price is negotiable."
"As I said, Wu Wei's behavior has nothing to do with me. If you want to make some kind of deal with him, please contact him directly."
"You clearly know that he hates me to death. You have long said that you want to look good to me. This time, you are planning to destroy me. How can he make a deal with me?"
"I'm afraid I can't help it."
"Xiuwen, do you understand what that recording file means? I might even go to jail for it." He Jingyi could no longer maintain her composure, with despair in her voice.
"What did he record?"
He Jingyi bit her lips tightly and remained silent.Shang Xiuwen said lightly: "I don't have to ask about this content."
"The main leader of the smelter and I... made a not-so-small deal, manipulating the workers' congress to approve Yixin's merger plan. He got the recording of our conversation through some channels."
Rao was always calm, Shang Xiuwen was also taken aback.Regarding the vote of the Workers' Representative Conference of the smelter, there are various rumors circulating in the local area. More importantly, the workers also have strong objections, and even jointly petitioned the relevant departments.Today he went to the city to hold a private enterprise development meeting, and some people mentioned this to him, but it was inconvenient for anyone to raise public doubts.As far as he knew, after Wu Wei received his wife Chen Yufei's divorce request, he realized that He Jingyi had plotted against him, and even called and cursed at her, but she only got a burst of ridicule.Since then, his whereabouts have been erratic and he seldom contacted his family. It is really unexpected that he would take such a crucial evidence now.
"How dare you take such a risk. The courage to play with fire is really beyond my expectations, Ms. He. Look at the reaction of the employees over there. All government departments are already on high alert, for fear of causing accidents."
"Please understand me, Xiuwen, I'm under pressure. Originally, I was responsible for the investment in the entire central region, but it's not going well here. The project in the provincial capital over there has been taken over by Nie Qian. If the smelter can't be dealt with Merger, my career prospects are over. Now you have to help me find Wu Wei."
"You said he blackmailed you, so he should have made a condition with you. What does he ask for?"
He Jingyi became anxious again: "That's the problem. He played a part of the recording for me. I asked him how much he wanted, and he laughed. He only said that he would play the rest some other day, but it might not be for me. The procuratorate will invite me to drink tea soon, and tell me to clean up, so as not to be caught off guard."
"It's not a standard blackmail."
"I must get that recording, no matter what the cost."
Shang Xiuwen was silent for a while, He Jingyi suddenly walked around the large desk, walked up to him, and held his hand: "Xiuwen, I can withdraw from the merger of the smelter, and even write a report to the boss to give up the plan to acquire Xusheng Please help me convince Wu Wei that the recording must not be circulated."
"You calm down."
Shang Xiuwen tried to withdraw his hand, but He Jingyi took another step forward, hugged his waist tightly, and said urgently and incoherently: "I visited my brother in prison, he is only three years older than me, and now he looks like An old man, although his sentence has been reduced, he still has more than two years before he can be released from prison. Every time I come back from there, I will be in despair for a long time, Xiuwen, you don't know how scared I am."
"Please let me go." Shang Xiuwen pushed back in annoyance, but He Jingyi's hands firmly grasped his shirt, her soft body wrapped around it, and her face was pressed against his chest. He could only feel a burst of heat on the shirt. Evidently wept.
"Xiuwen, I'm afraid. Ever since I broke up with you, I've been afraid and never got rid of it. I love you. It's impossible for me to fall in love with someone else, and it's impossible for anyone to love me like you. I know, merge The smelter and the attempt to acquire Xusheng hurt your heart, but I really didn’t know that you were Xusheng’s major shareholder, and when you succeed Wu Changzhi as the chairman, I’m already in a difficult situation.” She choked up and looked up. Looking at him, "You have to be considerate of me, I have no choice, Xiuwen, I am just a senior manager in Yixin, I really have no personal relationship with Chen Hua now, if I don't make achievements, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold. Please understand Me, I didn't mean to target you."
"Okay, I understand your behavior as a Yixin employee, please let go, you make me very embarrassed." Shang Xiuwen tried to pull her hand away, but she tightly entangled him and refused to let go.
"Xiuwen," He Jingyi opened her beautiful eyes full of tears, and looked at him pleadingly, "You won't see me go to jail, will you?"
"I will contact Wu Wei, but..."
Before he finished speaking, He Jingyi showed an ecstatic expression, stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, and said vaguely: "I know, you have always refused to let me get hurt. I will never be self-willed to make you angry again. It's..."
Before Shang Xiuwen raised his head and broke free, the door of the lounge was opened, and Gan Lu came out. She looked at the scene in front of her with a pale face, and said coldly, "Can you stop this passionate scene for a while?"
Shang Xiuwen suddenly shook off He Jingyi, and quickly walked towards Gan Lu: "Lulu, when did you come?"
Gan Lu didn't answer, but turned to He Jingyi, and saw that she was standing still with her hands on the desk, with tears on her face, but she smiled: "Mrs. Are you trying to catch rape in there? I always thought that you had the talent to pretend to be deaf and dumb, why did you suddenly lose your composure?"
Shang Xiuwen said sharply: "That's enough, Miss He, please go."
He Jingyi straightened her clothes and hair: "Okay, Xiuwen, after contacting Wu Wei, be sure to call me." She seemed to have received a guarantee suddenly, and Shi Shi ran away without any panic.
"Lulu, why are you here?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems that I was the one who was surprised."
Gan Lu tried to take a deep breath to keep calm, but seeing Shang Xiuwen whose shirt was messed up, the hem of the skirt was pulled out of the belt, and a large piece of his chest was wet with tears, he suddenly burst into anger and turned to leave. her hands.
"Lulu, if you are inside, you should know that she broke in, and I have nothing to do with her."
"I won't come out to stop, God knows what will happen next. I don't want to be forced to watch the live erotic palace." Gan Lu said angrily, and shook his hand hard, but he held it firmly, and his face turned There was no look of panic, but a faint smile.
"I love this surprise you gave me, Lulu," he said softly, that smile growing wider.
Gan Lu couldn't understand his expression, and became more and more annoyed. She turned her head again, and was facing the lipstick mark He Jingyi left on Shang Xiuwen's shirt. She felt disgusted again, and pushed him with both hands: "It's so dirty, let go I."
Shang Xiuwen looked down, came to understand, let go of her, pulled off the tie and threw it aside, then unbuttoned the buttons one by one, took off the shirt, and stretched out his arms to hug her again, her face flushed red, still Avoiding his face angrily: "I was kissed by another woman, don't touch me."
Shang Xiuwen laughed loudly, but he was helpless: "Can I go and brush my teeth?"
Gan Lu stared at him, trying to persuade herself to calm down, but she couldn't swallow the discomfort, so she said angrily, "Okay, go and brush your teeth, I'll stop when I've said enough."
Shang Xiuwen really dragged her hand into the bathroom, there were indeed toiletries in it, he took a glass of water solemnly, squeezed toothpaste on it, and began to brush his teeth seriously, without any sign of stopping.
Gan Lu was standing against the bathroom door, and she could see the solid lines of his naked upper body, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and his skin shone with a healthy luster. The muscles from his back to his arms rose and fell slightly with the brushing movements.She couldn't keep her face sullen, and at the same time felt that her behavior was too childish, so she could only cough: "Okay, okay, you've passed the test."
Shang Xiuwen rinsed his mouth in relief, put down the cup, washed his face with a towel, and said, "Mrs. Shang, thank you for your kindness. If I continue to brush, my gums will bleed."
"Hmph, why didn't you push her away immediately." Gan Lu muttered, turned and walked away, Shang Xiuwen threw down the towel to catch up with her and grabbed her.
"Then why don't you stand up right away?"
"I... want to see if you can sit still."
Shang Xiuwen hugged her and approached her face, with the cool taste of mint in his breath: "Then you should stay inside and see how far I can stand the test."
"My man, why do you want other women to eat tofu all the time?"
Shang Xiuwen was startled, and slowly turned his face away. She thought he was angry, and said uneasily: "Actually, I also know that you can't do anything to her. I said I would trust you, but..." She Suddenly feeling wrong, his body clinging to her trembled slightly, and when she turned her head to look closely, he was shaking from laughing.
She was a little angry and a little embarrassed, and pushed him hard, but she couldn't move.He just hugged her tightly, and that muffled smile gradually turned into a loud laugh.This is the most hearty smile he has had in a long time, such a way of laughing with such a completely open heart and open arms, without a trace of usual reserve, as if all the unhappiness are just trivial things not worth mentioning, only she Standing in front of him, being able to fully feel the joy flowing from his heart is the most important thing.She was overwhelmed and infected by the smile again, she relaxed her biting lips, and couldn't help laughing.
"Lulu..." He finally stopped laughing and called her name softly. She looked at him inquiringly, thinking he had something to say, but he just bent down and kissed her lips.
The kiss deepened a little bit. She was pushed back by him, and her back was pressed against the wall. Behind her was a hard and cold body, and in front of her was his naked body exuding heat. Such a strange contrast made her shudder.She responded to his kiss passively at first, and then under his entanglement and teasing, her breathing gradually became disordered. He kissed her neck all the way, and began to unbutton her shirt with her fingers. She tried her best to say: "Don't ...This is in the company."
The words were not finished yet, and after two knocks on the door, the secretary opened the door and poked his head in: "Mr. Shang, everyone has already arrived in the conference room..." She stopped suddenly, obviously frightened by the scene in front of her, and stammered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He shrank back suddenly.
Gan Lu blushed in embarrassment, and quickly buttoned her shirt: "Let go."
Shang Xiuwen showed no embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I'll ask her to inform everyone that the meeting is cancelled, and you can get off work."
Gan Lu was so frightened that she grabbed him who was about to go out: "She doesn't know what to think when you go out and say this like this."
"The big deal is to gossip about the boss, that's one of the employee benefits." Shang Xiuwen said with a smile, "And I'm usually too serious, so it's rare to contribute a little bit of talk to them. You can't deprive her of this fun."
"Stop making trouble, go to the meeting, I'll wait for you here."
"Wait a minute," Shang Xiuwen picked her up, walked to the desk, put her to sit on the desk, put his arm around her, picked up the phone with the other hand, and dialed a number. After a while, the other party answered.
"Third brother, where are you now?"
Gan Lu was held tightly in his arms, and she was so close that Wu Wei's voice could be heard clearly: "I'm having dinner with my friends, Xiuwen, I knew you were looking for me. That bitch is looking for you Call for help." Then there was a burst of triumphant laughter.
"How did you get that recording file?"
"Of course I have my way, so you don't need to inquire about it."
"Okay, what are you going to do now?"
"How to do it? That stupid woman asked me the same thing, and even asked me how much I want," Wu Wei said fiercely, "Who does she think she is, just a part-time worker. I will let her pay whatever price she can afford." In your eyes? She had fun playing with me, now it's my turn to play with her. Xiuwen, you don't want to be a hero to save the beauty, do you?"
Shang Xiuwen didn't answer his question: "Let's meet, I want to hear this document, and let uncle listen to it."
"The old man should thank me well. I didn't make the move. How could there be a turnaround in this matter. Come to the Gordon Hotel where I am staying. It will be a little later. I will not be able to go back until after 11 o'clock."
Shang Xiuwen agreed and put down the phone.
Gan Lu tilted her head and looked at him: "Are you going to ask him to return the recording files to Miss He?"
"The third son doesn't even listen to his father, let alone me." Shang Xiuwen shook his head, "Besides, I didn't agree to her request. I must first find out how much evidence Wu Wei has."
"What will happen to you if that evidence really puts Miss He in prison?" Gan Lu hesitated, but finally asked.However, as soon as the words came out, I despised myself a little in my heart. What kind of answer do you want to hear?Do you hate that woman so much that you want her to go to jail and disappear before your eyes?When this thought came to her, she was startled.
Shang Xiuwen pondered for a while: "Bribing the leaders of state-owned enterprises and manipulating the workers' congress, this matter is big or small. If Wu Wei intends to retaliate against her, she will be in trouble." He paused, as if thinking about something, Gan Lu also remained silent.He suddenly held her shoulder with great strength, "Lulu, I need your trust in this matter."
Gan Lu's gaze met his, and he saw his dark eyes calm and focused. Her disordered mood seemed to be soothed by this gaze, and she was suddenly affirmed by it, and those chaotic thoughts subsided.She said softly: "I'm not that ruthless, and I don't have to send her to jail to be happy. But if you want to help her, you have to be careful. Obviously, I am not that generous to play the role of the Virgin and tolerate my own Husband is a lover for other women."
A faint smile floated on Shang Xiuwen's face, still staring into her eyes, and said softly: "I understand, don't worry. No matter what I do, I will definitely consider your feelings first."
"Go to the meeting first, they should be waiting impatiently. By the way, don't you need dinner at this time of the meeting?"
"Usually the secretary will order takeaway, but don't worry, today I will finish what I need to explain in the shortest time." Shang Xiuwen opened the closet, took out a clean shirt and put it on, without tying the hem into the belt Inside, while buttoning up his buttons, he walked out, "Wait for me for a quarter of an hour, I'll be right back."
Sure enough, Shang Xiuwen ended the meeting in only ten minutes.When he took Gan Lu out, he met Wu Wei's second brother-in-law Wei Huasheng waiting for the elevator. Gan Lu quickly called "brother-in-law", and he also greeted her with a smile.
"Second brother," in private, Shang Xiuwen always referred to Wu Changzhi's two sons-in-law according to the ranking of the Wu family's siblings, "Hasn't the third brother been home recently?"
Although the two daughters of the Wu family are married, they both live very close to their natal families, and they usually have dinner together.Wei Huasheng smiled wryly: "Which home to go back to? You also know that he and the old man are not very angry when they meet. As for Yu Fei, she insisted on a divorce and there was no room for negotiation. She simply moved back to her mother's house. The old man wanted to see Grandson, you have to call to make an appointment."
"Have you seen him in town lately?"
"A few days ago I was having dinner with a guest, and I ran into him." Wei Huasheng frowned and thought for a while, "He was discussing things with a group of people. From my point of view, they are all well-known local professionals running errands. , can’t be regarded as a person who is on the right path.”
Shang Xiuwen nodded, and Wei Huasheng said, "Xiuwen, take Lulu back for dinner."
"Tell uncle for me, another day. She is tired today and wants to rest early."
After coming out, Shang Xiuwen took Gan Lu to a not-so-big restaurant near the company. The boss obviously knew him, and immediately led them into a small room. He ordered a few random dishes: "Just make do here Meal, I will take you to eat something special tomorrow."
"Where do you usually eat?"
"Besides socializing, I occasionally go to my uncle's house for dinner, and the rest of the time is here. It's more convenient and quiet here. Lulu, sometimes I really want to eat your cooking."
Gan Lu only felt that a certain place in her heart was touched lightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little sore: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the supermarket to buy vegetables and make them for you. You want to eat assorted casserole, right?"
"I want to eat assorted casserole, and I also want to eat beef brisket with tomato. But today, I want to eat more," he stretched out a hand to hold her hand, and put it next to her ear, his voice was hoarse and gentle, and the heat was blowing into her ear, "It's you."
Such straightforward teasing and desire made Gan Lu's face flush red again, her heart was pounding, she turned her head to one side, not daring to look at him.
The dishes came out quickly, and both of them ate in silence.After Shang Xiuwen signed the form, he took Gan Lu's hand out to get into the car, and suddenly started the car. Unlike his usual steady driving habits, the Lexus quickly drove out of the office parking lot and turned onto the main road.The street lights swept back quickly, and the interior of the car was bright and dark. Gan Lu couldn't see the expression on Shang Xiuwen's face clearly, she just rested her head on the back of the chair quietly, letting the spring breeze blow her face and blow her hair up.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, and Shang Xiuwen drove back to Wu Changzhi's suburban villa, where he has been staying since he came to work.He opened the gate with the remote control, drove the car in, did not drive to the garage, but parked directly at the door, then got out of the car and came over to open the door for Gan Lu.As soon as she took one foot, he had already stretched out his hand to pull her out, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her lips heavily.
Is this a continuation after a break, or a fresh start?Have all the problems been solved during the period of time they have passed?Whether to allow the lingering body to guide each other's hearts to further intimacy; or on the contrary, the heart has made a choice and is willing to let the body compromise with it-she has no way to figure out a clue.However, she knew that she had already made a decision when she stepped on the bus to J city.
He wrapped her up and walked across the hall into the room where he lived.He didn't turn on the light, but the moonlight shone into the Chinese-style decorated room through the open window. It was as clear as water, flowing between light and shade, making the room blurred.
When Shang Xiuwen pushed her down on the big Chinese-style carved mahogany bed, her bare skin touched the silk quilt on the bed. The smooth and cold touch stimulated her to become clear for a moment. The brocade tent had the illusion of being in the wrong time and space for a while, but Shang Xiuwen's body immediately covered her, and one after another, the kisses fell on her body densely and hotly, and she no longer had the energy to think about where it was...
(End of this chapter)
The second time I came to W City, Gan Lu took the high-speed train, which was really fast, but it took only three hours to arrive. The conference team at the train station picked up the station and arranged accommodation. She and a female teacher from a prefecture-level city in a neighboring province They live in the same room, and in the afternoon, they are arranged to attend public lectures at a key middle school in W City, and there will be a lecture in the evening.
After the seminar on the second day, we came out of the dining place. According to the teacher at the reception, it was not too far from the hotel. Everyone decided to walk back, chatting and laughing all the way, walking in twos and threes.
The last time Gan Lu walked through the city was not a pleasant memory.However, she doesn't like to indulge in self-harm and self-pity. As a teacher, she rarely has the opportunity to travel, and it is also a kind of relaxation to temporarily escape the monotonous work day after day.The weather was fine that day, the spring breeze was beautiful and warm, and she walked along the sidewalk, chatting with her companions, and her mood improved involuntarily.
Shang Xiuwen called to ask her what she was doing, she slowed down a little, lagged behind, and said with a smile: "Wandering. This road is called Chunming Road, and there are a lot of poplars planted, and the street is very quiet."
"I know that place. The nearby roads all start with the word Chun, Chunming Road, Chunshen Road, Chunhe Road, Chunfeng Road, and Chunjiang Road."
Gan Lu was moved by these poetic names: "These road names are very beautiful and match this season very well."
"My family used to live on Chunshen Road, and I lived there for nearly ten years. That road is parallel to Chunming Road, not far away, and there are many paulownias planted, and purple flowers bloom in this season, which is very beautiful." Shang There was exhaustion in Xiuwen's voice, "I wish I had time, and I can walk with you."
"Are you tired?"
"Yes, a little."
"You're not still in the office, are you?" Shang Xiuwen only smiled softly, and she said helplessly, "Forcing others to accompany you to work overtime is not good, and you have to pay attention to your health."
"I'm going to receive several big clients this weekend, and I'm afraid I still don't have time to go back."
"I'll tell mom. I'm almost at the hotel, you go to dinner right away."
Putting down her mobile phone, Gan Lu asked the reception teacher for directions, and only said that she wanted to go around alone before going back to the hotel.She walked through a narrow alley and walked about 100 meters, and she saw a straight asphalt road.
This road is the same as the Chunming Road she walked just now, it is not wide and lively, but has a sense of tranquility that is rare in the urban area.But the paulownia trees with purple flowers were not planted on both sides of the road as Shang Xiuwen said. She was a little hesitant when she saw a gray-haired old man leisurely walking by the side of the road, and asked quickly: "Hello, my friend." I would like to ask, is this road Chunshen Road?"
The old gentleman was very kind and nodded: "Yes."
"Are these trees paulownia?" She pointed to the small trees beside the road.
The old man smiled: "These are eucalyptus trees. The paulownia was replaced by a unified government a few years ago. Unfortunately, after decades of planting, they are all big trees with beautiful flowers. But it is said that the tree material is loose, In a certain year, it is not suitable to be a street tree, and there was a letter from citizens discussing it in the newspaper at that time.”
Thanks to the old gentleman, Gan Lu walked slowly along the sidewalk.She thought that after Shang Xiuwen ended his father's company and sold the house that year, he never returned to this city, let alone visited his past residence.The so-called vicissitudes of life seem to be just an empty term, but those fundamentally irresistible changes in life are quietly happening every moment.
He lived on this road for ten years, watching the paulownia flowers bloom and fall, from a young boy to a youthful youth, had a happy time of youth and frivolity, and a high-spirited love, until he left sadly and never looked back.
And when she was a girl, there was also a road buried deep in her memories. On the road, there were luxuriant sycamore trees, alleys criss-crossing like a maze, and a tall boy's back.
Those roads that exist in memory are no longer the same, everyone has their own past, who can intervene in that period of time in someone's life that cannot be returned.
Finally at the intersection, there was a busy avenue in front of her. She looked back at the street sign on Chunshen Road, and said goodbye to Shang Xiuwen from the bottom of her heart.Let the memories settle down in her heart, what she wants to participate in is his present and future life; what they have to face together is the endless years in the future.
At noon on the second day, the learning and exchange activities ended.Several teachers wanted to use the weekend to visit local attractions and postponed their return for a day or two. Gan Lu went directly to the long-distance bus station and got on the bus bound for J City.
The entire distance between City W and City J is an expressway. The road is lined with spring scenery, pink willows and green fields, and the verdant fields stretch to the end of the line of sight. It takes more than three hours to arrive in City J. After she leaves the passenger station, He called a taxi and went directly to the office building rented by Xusheng Iron and Steel Company in the urban area.When Shang Xiuwen called her the day before, she didn't mention that she would come over today, she wanted to surprise him.But when she arrived, she was still a little hesitant, not sure if this counted as disturbing his work.
She checked the time, but it was 03:30 in the afternoon. If she wanted to wait until he got off work, she would have to wander alone in this city. It occupied the office area on five floors, and the chairman's office was on the sixteenth floor before she got on the elevator.
The door of the office was closed tightly, and a young girl who looked like a secretary was sitting in the reception area outside, and asked her in an orderly tone: "What is your name, please? Do you have an appointment with the chairman?"
She had always worked in the school, but had never seen such a scene, so she could only say, "My name is Gan, and I don't have an appointment."
"I'm sorry, if you don't have an appointment, I'm afraid I can't arrange for you to meet the chairman. Please go to the office to contact the director first, explain your purpose of coming, and let him arrange which department will receive you."
She thought amusedly, it seems that this unexpected surprise is very difficult to play successfully.She took out her mobile phone and was about to call Shang Xiuwen's number, but the girl suddenly stood up with a surprised expression: "Are you Mr. Shang's wife?"
She was startled: "Uh, I'm Shang Xiuwen's wife."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Shang, I didn't recognize you just now."
"We haven't met, it's normal not to know me."
"There is a photo of you on Mr. Shang's desk. Please go in and sit down. Would you like me to call Mr. Shang? He has a meeting in the city, and I don't know how long it will take to come back."
"No, I'll just wait here." Gan Lu followed her into the office, which was covered with thick dark carpets. A bookshelf of thread-bound books, and a group of carved chairs and coffee tables are placed by the window.All the furniture is made of dark solid wood, and there is a piece of "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" written by famous masters on the wall. This is obviously Wu Changzhi's interest, and Shang Xiuwen didn't make any changes.
"Thank you, go get busy, I'll just sit alone for a while."
The secretary agreed and withdrew.She walked to the desk with some curiosity, and there was indeed a photo frame on it, which contained the photos she and Shang Xiuwen took during their honeymoon in the Maldives.
She picked up the photo frame and stared at it. In the photo, Shang Xiuwen was looking down at her slightly, with a smile extending from the bottom of his eyes to the corner of his mouth, and she smiled carefree.
There was a light knock on the door, and the secretary came in with a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shang, you can sit down wherever you want. This is the bathroom. If you are tired, there is a small lounge behind the door. Mr. Shang usually I'll rest there. I'm just outside, and you can call me if you need anything."
Gan Lu thanked again: "Thank you, if Mr. Shang calls back, don't tell him I'm here."
The young secretary, who clearly had a natural interest in any arrangement involving romance, nodded with an excited smile and walked out, closing the door behind her backhand.
Gan Lu sat on the uncomfortable chair and read a book for a while, feeling bored, she walked over and opened the partition door that seemed to be integrated with the bookshelf, and there was indeed a small lounge inside. A single bed, a massage chair, very clean.She lived in the same room with a stranger these days, and she didn't sleep well. In addition, she was somewhat tired after riding for more than three hours today. She put down her luggage bag, took off her coat and shoes, and lay down on the bed. After a while, he fell asleep dimly.
When the outside door rang, she woke up with a start. She didn't know how long she had slept, but Shang Xiuwen's voice came in: "Take this information to Mr. Wei immediately, and ask him to check the data with you. , Inform other senior executives of the company to hold a meeting at six o'clock."
The secretary agreed and walked out. Gan Lu sat up and looked at her watch. It was almost 05:30. Unexpectedly, he had to go to a meeting, and he was so busy. She felt a little distressed.She was about to put on her shoes and go out, when the office door was pushed open again, and a person came in, Shang Xiuwen's voice sounded: "Miss He, I don't remember that I made an appointment with you, and you better remember to knock Door."
Gan Lu froze immediately, keeping her foot half in the shoe, her heart beating wildly.She was nervous for no reason, and almost wanted to go out immediately, but she couldn't help but want to listen. Such ambivalence made her lose the ability to act.
He Jingyi approached his desk, stared at him closely, and asked sharply: "Shang Xiuwen, did you instigate Wu Wei to do this?"
"what's up?"
"He... blackmailed me."
"It has nothing to do with me." Shang Xiuwen replied briefly.
He Jingyi's shoulders suddenly slumped, as if he was relieved, but also seemed to have lost the momentum of asking the teacher just now, and his voice was much lower: "I knew that you would not treat me like this, Xiuwen."
Shang Xiuwen did not respond.
He Jingyi said urgently: "Please find Wu Wei for me immediately, and ask him to hand over the recording file to me. The price is negotiable."
"As I said, Wu Wei's behavior has nothing to do with me. If you want to make some kind of deal with him, please contact him directly."
"You clearly know that he hates me to death. You have long said that you want to look good to me. This time, you are planning to destroy me. How can he make a deal with me?"
"I'm afraid I can't help it."
"Xiuwen, do you understand what that recording file means? I might even go to jail for it." He Jingyi could no longer maintain her composure, with despair in her voice.
"What did he record?"
He Jingyi bit her lips tightly and remained silent.Shang Xiuwen said lightly: "I don't have to ask about this content."
"The main leader of the smelter and I... made a not-so-small deal, manipulating the workers' congress to approve Yixin's merger plan. He got the recording of our conversation through some channels."
Rao was always calm, Shang Xiuwen was also taken aback.Regarding the vote of the Workers' Representative Conference of the smelter, there are various rumors circulating in the local area. More importantly, the workers also have strong objections, and even jointly petitioned the relevant departments.Today he went to the city to hold a private enterprise development meeting, and some people mentioned this to him, but it was inconvenient for anyone to raise public doubts.As far as he knew, after Wu Wei received his wife Chen Yufei's divorce request, he realized that He Jingyi had plotted against him, and even called and cursed at her, but she only got a burst of ridicule.Since then, his whereabouts have been erratic and he seldom contacted his family. It is really unexpected that he would take such a crucial evidence now.
"How dare you take such a risk. The courage to play with fire is really beyond my expectations, Ms. He. Look at the reaction of the employees over there. All government departments are already on high alert, for fear of causing accidents."
"Please understand me, Xiuwen, I'm under pressure. Originally, I was responsible for the investment in the entire central region, but it's not going well here. The project in the provincial capital over there has been taken over by Nie Qian. If the smelter can't be dealt with Merger, my career prospects are over. Now you have to help me find Wu Wei."
"You said he blackmailed you, so he should have made a condition with you. What does he ask for?"
He Jingyi became anxious again: "That's the problem. He played a part of the recording for me. I asked him how much he wanted, and he laughed. He only said that he would play the rest some other day, but it might not be for me. The procuratorate will invite me to drink tea soon, and tell me to clean up, so as not to be caught off guard."
"It's not a standard blackmail."
"I must get that recording, no matter what the cost."
Shang Xiuwen was silent for a while, He Jingyi suddenly walked around the large desk, walked up to him, and held his hand: "Xiuwen, I can withdraw from the merger of the smelter, and even write a report to the boss to give up the plan to acquire Xusheng Please help me convince Wu Wei that the recording must not be circulated."
"You calm down."
Shang Xiuwen tried to withdraw his hand, but He Jingyi took another step forward, hugged his waist tightly, and said urgently and incoherently: "I visited my brother in prison, he is only three years older than me, and now he looks like An old man, although his sentence has been reduced, he still has more than two years before he can be released from prison. Every time I come back from there, I will be in despair for a long time, Xiuwen, you don't know how scared I am."
"Please let me go." Shang Xiuwen pushed back in annoyance, but He Jingyi's hands firmly grasped his shirt, her soft body wrapped around it, and her face was pressed against his chest. He could only feel a burst of heat on the shirt. Evidently wept.
"Xiuwen, I'm afraid. Ever since I broke up with you, I've been afraid and never got rid of it. I love you. It's impossible for me to fall in love with someone else, and it's impossible for anyone to love me like you. I know, merge The smelter and the attempt to acquire Xusheng hurt your heart, but I really didn’t know that you were Xusheng’s major shareholder, and when you succeed Wu Changzhi as the chairman, I’m already in a difficult situation.” She choked up and looked up. Looking at him, "You have to be considerate of me, I have no choice, Xiuwen, I am just a senior manager in Yixin, I really have no personal relationship with Chen Hua now, if I don't make achievements, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold. Please understand Me, I didn't mean to target you."
"Okay, I understand your behavior as a Yixin employee, please let go, you make me very embarrassed." Shang Xiuwen tried to pull her hand away, but she tightly entangled him and refused to let go.
"Xiuwen," He Jingyi opened her beautiful eyes full of tears, and looked at him pleadingly, "You won't see me go to jail, will you?"
"I will contact Wu Wei, but..."
Before he finished speaking, He Jingyi showed an ecstatic expression, stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, and said vaguely: "I know, you have always refused to let me get hurt. I will never be self-willed to make you angry again. It's..."
Before Shang Xiuwen raised his head and broke free, the door of the lounge was opened, and Gan Lu came out. She looked at the scene in front of her with a pale face, and said coldly, "Can you stop this passionate scene for a while?"
Shang Xiuwen suddenly shook off He Jingyi, and quickly walked towards Gan Lu: "Lulu, when did you come?"
Gan Lu didn't answer, but turned to He Jingyi, and saw that she was standing still with her hands on the desk, with tears on her face, but she smiled: "Mrs. Are you trying to catch rape in there? I always thought that you had the talent to pretend to be deaf and dumb, why did you suddenly lose your composure?"
Shang Xiuwen said sharply: "That's enough, Miss He, please go."
He Jingyi straightened her clothes and hair: "Okay, Xiuwen, after contacting Wu Wei, be sure to call me." She seemed to have received a guarantee suddenly, and Shi Shi ran away without any panic.
"Lulu, why are you here?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems that I was the one who was surprised."
Gan Lu tried to take a deep breath to keep calm, but seeing Shang Xiuwen whose shirt was messed up, the hem of the skirt was pulled out of the belt, and a large piece of his chest was wet with tears, he suddenly burst into anger and turned to leave. her hands.
"Lulu, if you are inside, you should know that she broke in, and I have nothing to do with her."
"I won't come out to stop, God knows what will happen next. I don't want to be forced to watch the live erotic palace." Gan Lu said angrily, and shook his hand hard, but he held it firmly, and his face turned There was no look of panic, but a faint smile.
"I love this surprise you gave me, Lulu," he said softly, that smile growing wider.
Gan Lu couldn't understand his expression, and became more and more annoyed. She turned her head again, and was facing the lipstick mark He Jingyi left on Shang Xiuwen's shirt. She felt disgusted again, and pushed him with both hands: "It's so dirty, let go I."
Shang Xiuwen looked down, came to understand, let go of her, pulled off the tie and threw it aside, then unbuttoned the buttons one by one, took off the shirt, and stretched out his arms to hug her again, her face flushed red, still Avoiding his face angrily: "I was kissed by another woman, don't touch me."
Shang Xiuwen laughed loudly, but he was helpless: "Can I go and brush my teeth?"
Gan Lu stared at him, trying to persuade herself to calm down, but she couldn't swallow the discomfort, so she said angrily, "Okay, go and brush your teeth, I'll stop when I've said enough."
Shang Xiuwen really dragged her hand into the bathroom, there were indeed toiletries in it, he took a glass of water solemnly, squeezed toothpaste on it, and began to brush his teeth seriously, without any sign of stopping.
Gan Lu was standing against the bathroom door, and she could see the solid lines of his naked upper body, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and his skin shone with a healthy luster. The muscles from his back to his arms rose and fell slightly with the brushing movements.She couldn't keep her face sullen, and at the same time felt that her behavior was too childish, so she could only cough: "Okay, okay, you've passed the test."
Shang Xiuwen rinsed his mouth in relief, put down the cup, washed his face with a towel, and said, "Mrs. Shang, thank you for your kindness. If I continue to brush, my gums will bleed."
"Hmph, why didn't you push her away immediately." Gan Lu muttered, turned and walked away, Shang Xiuwen threw down the towel to catch up with her and grabbed her.
"Then why don't you stand up right away?"
"I... want to see if you can sit still."
Shang Xiuwen hugged her and approached her face, with the cool taste of mint in his breath: "Then you should stay inside and see how far I can stand the test."
"My man, why do you want other women to eat tofu all the time?"
Shang Xiuwen was startled, and slowly turned his face away. She thought he was angry, and said uneasily: "Actually, I also know that you can't do anything to her. I said I would trust you, but..." She Suddenly feeling wrong, his body clinging to her trembled slightly, and when she turned her head to look closely, he was shaking from laughing.
She was a little angry and a little embarrassed, and pushed him hard, but she couldn't move.He just hugged her tightly, and that muffled smile gradually turned into a loud laugh.This is the most hearty smile he has had in a long time, such a way of laughing with such a completely open heart and open arms, without a trace of usual reserve, as if all the unhappiness are just trivial things not worth mentioning, only she Standing in front of him, being able to fully feel the joy flowing from his heart is the most important thing.She was overwhelmed and infected by the smile again, she relaxed her biting lips, and couldn't help laughing.
"Lulu..." He finally stopped laughing and called her name softly. She looked at him inquiringly, thinking he had something to say, but he just bent down and kissed her lips.
The kiss deepened a little bit. She was pushed back by him, and her back was pressed against the wall. Behind her was a hard and cold body, and in front of her was his naked body exuding heat. Such a strange contrast made her shudder.She responded to his kiss passively at first, and then under his entanglement and teasing, her breathing gradually became disordered. He kissed her neck all the way, and began to unbutton her shirt with her fingers. She tried her best to say: "Don't ...This is in the company."
The words were not finished yet, and after two knocks on the door, the secretary opened the door and poked his head in: "Mr. Shang, everyone has already arrived in the conference room..." She stopped suddenly, obviously frightened by the scene in front of her, and stammered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He shrank back suddenly.
Gan Lu blushed in embarrassment, and quickly buttoned her shirt: "Let go."
Shang Xiuwen showed no embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I'll ask her to inform everyone that the meeting is cancelled, and you can get off work."
Gan Lu was so frightened that she grabbed him who was about to go out: "She doesn't know what to think when you go out and say this like this."
"The big deal is to gossip about the boss, that's one of the employee benefits." Shang Xiuwen said with a smile, "And I'm usually too serious, so it's rare to contribute a little bit of talk to them. You can't deprive her of this fun."
"Stop making trouble, go to the meeting, I'll wait for you here."
"Wait a minute," Shang Xiuwen picked her up, walked to the desk, put her to sit on the desk, put his arm around her, picked up the phone with the other hand, and dialed a number. After a while, the other party answered.
"Third brother, where are you now?"
Gan Lu was held tightly in his arms, and she was so close that Wu Wei's voice could be heard clearly: "I'm having dinner with my friends, Xiuwen, I knew you were looking for me. That bitch is looking for you Call for help." Then there was a burst of triumphant laughter.
"How did you get that recording file?"
"Of course I have my way, so you don't need to inquire about it."
"Okay, what are you going to do now?"
"How to do it? That stupid woman asked me the same thing, and even asked me how much I want," Wu Wei said fiercely, "Who does she think she is, just a part-time worker. I will let her pay whatever price she can afford." In your eyes? She had fun playing with me, now it's my turn to play with her. Xiuwen, you don't want to be a hero to save the beauty, do you?"
Shang Xiuwen didn't answer his question: "Let's meet, I want to hear this document, and let uncle listen to it."
"The old man should thank me well. I didn't make the move. How could there be a turnaround in this matter. Come to the Gordon Hotel where I am staying. It will be a little later. I will not be able to go back until after 11 o'clock."
Shang Xiuwen agreed and put down the phone.
Gan Lu tilted her head and looked at him: "Are you going to ask him to return the recording files to Miss He?"
"The third son doesn't even listen to his father, let alone me." Shang Xiuwen shook his head, "Besides, I didn't agree to her request. I must first find out how much evidence Wu Wei has."
"What will happen to you if that evidence really puts Miss He in prison?" Gan Lu hesitated, but finally asked.However, as soon as the words came out, I despised myself a little in my heart. What kind of answer do you want to hear?Do you hate that woman so much that you want her to go to jail and disappear before your eyes?When this thought came to her, she was startled.
Shang Xiuwen pondered for a while: "Bribing the leaders of state-owned enterprises and manipulating the workers' congress, this matter is big or small. If Wu Wei intends to retaliate against her, she will be in trouble." He paused, as if thinking about something, Gan Lu also remained silent.He suddenly held her shoulder with great strength, "Lulu, I need your trust in this matter."
Gan Lu's gaze met his, and he saw his dark eyes calm and focused. Her disordered mood seemed to be soothed by this gaze, and she was suddenly affirmed by it, and those chaotic thoughts subsided.She said softly: "I'm not that ruthless, and I don't have to send her to jail to be happy. But if you want to help her, you have to be careful. Obviously, I am not that generous to play the role of the Virgin and tolerate my own Husband is a lover for other women."
A faint smile floated on Shang Xiuwen's face, still staring into her eyes, and said softly: "I understand, don't worry. No matter what I do, I will definitely consider your feelings first."
"Go to the meeting first, they should be waiting impatiently. By the way, don't you need dinner at this time of the meeting?"
"Usually the secretary will order takeaway, but don't worry, today I will finish what I need to explain in the shortest time." Shang Xiuwen opened the closet, took out a clean shirt and put it on, without tying the hem into the belt Inside, while buttoning up his buttons, he walked out, "Wait for me for a quarter of an hour, I'll be right back."
Sure enough, Shang Xiuwen ended the meeting in only ten minutes.When he took Gan Lu out, he met Wu Wei's second brother-in-law Wei Huasheng waiting for the elevator. Gan Lu quickly called "brother-in-law", and he also greeted her with a smile.
"Second brother," in private, Shang Xiuwen always referred to Wu Changzhi's two sons-in-law according to the ranking of the Wu family's siblings, "Hasn't the third brother been home recently?"
Although the two daughters of the Wu family are married, they both live very close to their natal families, and they usually have dinner together.Wei Huasheng smiled wryly: "Which home to go back to? You also know that he and the old man are not very angry when they meet. As for Yu Fei, she insisted on a divorce and there was no room for negotiation. She simply moved back to her mother's house. The old man wanted to see Grandson, you have to call to make an appointment."
"Have you seen him in town lately?"
"A few days ago I was having dinner with a guest, and I ran into him." Wei Huasheng frowned and thought for a while, "He was discussing things with a group of people. From my point of view, they are all well-known local professionals running errands. , can’t be regarded as a person who is on the right path.”
Shang Xiuwen nodded, and Wei Huasheng said, "Xiuwen, take Lulu back for dinner."
"Tell uncle for me, another day. She is tired today and wants to rest early."
After coming out, Shang Xiuwen took Gan Lu to a not-so-big restaurant near the company. The boss obviously knew him, and immediately led them into a small room. He ordered a few random dishes: "Just make do here Meal, I will take you to eat something special tomorrow."
"Where do you usually eat?"
"Besides socializing, I occasionally go to my uncle's house for dinner, and the rest of the time is here. It's more convenient and quiet here. Lulu, sometimes I really want to eat your cooking."
Gan Lu only felt that a certain place in her heart was touched lightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little sore: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the supermarket to buy vegetables and make them for you. You want to eat assorted casserole, right?"
"I want to eat assorted casserole, and I also want to eat beef brisket with tomato. But today, I want to eat more," he stretched out a hand to hold her hand, and put it next to her ear, his voice was hoarse and gentle, and the heat was blowing into her ear, "It's you."
Such straightforward teasing and desire made Gan Lu's face flush red again, her heart was pounding, she turned her head to one side, not daring to look at him.
The dishes came out quickly, and both of them ate in silence.After Shang Xiuwen signed the form, he took Gan Lu's hand out to get into the car, and suddenly started the car. Unlike his usual steady driving habits, the Lexus quickly drove out of the office parking lot and turned onto the main road.The street lights swept back quickly, and the interior of the car was bright and dark. Gan Lu couldn't see the expression on Shang Xiuwen's face clearly, she just rested her head on the back of the chair quietly, letting the spring breeze blow her face and blow her hair up.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, and Shang Xiuwen drove back to Wu Changzhi's suburban villa, where he has been staying since he came to work.He opened the gate with the remote control, drove the car in, did not drive to the garage, but parked directly at the door, then got out of the car and came over to open the door for Gan Lu.As soon as she took one foot, he had already stretched out his hand to pull her out, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her lips heavily.
Is this a continuation after a break, or a fresh start?Have all the problems been solved during the period of time they have passed?Whether to allow the lingering body to guide each other's hearts to further intimacy; or on the contrary, the heart has made a choice and is willing to let the body compromise with it-she has no way to figure out a clue.However, she knew that she had already made a decision when she stepped on the bus to J city.
He wrapped her up and walked across the hall into the room where he lived.He didn't turn on the light, but the moonlight shone into the Chinese-style decorated room through the open window. It was as clear as water, flowing between light and shade, making the room blurred.
When Shang Xiuwen pushed her down on the big Chinese-style carved mahogany bed, her bare skin touched the silk quilt on the bed. The smooth and cold touch stimulated her to become clear for a moment. The brocade tent had the illusion of being in the wrong time and space for a while, but Shang Xiuwen's body immediately covered her, and one after another, the kisses fell on her body densely and hotly, and she no longer had the energy to think about where it was...
