Chapter 29

Shen Yansheng had a hangover overnight, and when he woke up the next morning, his mind was a little broken.

She sat up from the bed with the quilt in her arms, dazed for a while, trying to recall what happened last night, but her brain seemed to be rusted and couldn’t remember anything.

After sitting there for a while, when he lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed, his eyes suddenly fell on a familiar watch on the bedside table.

At first glance, she thought she had read it wrong, how could Lu Jingce’s watch be at home?

A flash of light flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized that last night was not a dream, the person who appeared in the tavern was indeed Lu Jingce.

So Lu Jingce picked her up last night?

Just thinking about it, there was a soft knock on the door outside the bedroom, and Aunt Ping asked in a low voice, “Miss, are you awake?”

Shen Yansheng glanced at the door, then got up to open the door.

When Aunt Ping saw her awake, she asked with a smile, “Are you hungry? Is breakfast delivered to the room or go downstairs?”

Shen Yansheng glanced out subconsciously, then looked at Aunt Ping, and asked softly, “Aunt Ping, is Lu Jingce back?”

Aunt Ping said with a smile, “Yes. Just after getting off the plane last night, Mr. Xie called and said that you were drunk outside, and Mr. Lu picked you up before you could rest.”

Hearing this, Shen Yansheng felt a little guilty, pursed her lower lip unconsciously, and asked, “Where are the others? Are you at home?”

Aunt Ping said: “I went out before eight o’clock. It seems that there is a press conference this morning.”

Shen Yansheng nodded and said, “I see.”

He added, “I’ll go downstairs for breakfast later.”

Back in the room, Shen Yansheng first went to the bathroom to take a shower, and after standing under the shower for a long time, his mind was finally clear.

It’s almost ten o’clock after drying my hair, getting dressed and going downstairs.

She doesn’t have to work now, and she has a lot of freedom in her working hours. While eating, her mind was a little distracted. Looking at the empty space opposite, she couldn’t help but think of Lu Jingce.

Since returning from Jiangcheng in March, the two of them have not eaten together for a long time.

In fact, not only eat, but also did not even say a word.

After all, it was her problem.

After all, Lu Jingce didn’t know what she was thinking, and he bumped into her and Fu Shiyu meeting at the tavern the other day, so it’s no wonder he misunderstood.

Thinking of this, she put down the milk cup in her hand, picked up her mobile phone, opened Lu Jingce’s WeChat, and sent a message there.

“What time did you come back last night? Did I drink a lot and didn’t vomit on you?”

After posting, she stared at the screen of her phone and waited a little nervously for Lu Jingce’s reply.

In fact, when this message was sent, she was actively seeking peace.

I don’t know if Lu Jingce can go down the stairs, or if he is willing to pay attention to her.

Fortunately, after a while, Lu Jingce replied to her.

“I don’t know how much you drank?”

Shen Yansheng looked at the message, and inexplicably could recall Lu Jingce’s expression in replying to the message, he must not be completely relieved, but not to the point where he didn’t want to care about her.

She looked at the message, the corners of her lips bent unconsciously, and asked again: Are you coming back for dinner tonight?

After a few more minutes, Lu Jingce replied: No.

Shen Yansheng stared at the short words in a daze, pressed his finger on the screen, and wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Jingce’s apparently perfunctory answer, his self-confidence suddenly collapsed, and he didn’t have the courage to say anything more.

After hesitating for a while, he finally quit WeChat and put the lock screen of his phone on the table.

A few minutes later, she finished her breakfast and was about to leave the restaurant when her phone rang again.

She opened it and saw that it was a message from Lu Jingce.

“I was busy.”

“There is a business reception in the evening, and I will be back later.”

Seeing that Lu Jingce sent another message to explain, Shen Yansheng’s originally depressed mood instantly became better, she hugged her phone while replying to the message and walked to the living room, typing on the screen with her finger: “Okay, drink less wine. ”

Lu Jingce replied: Hmm.

Although she cherishes words like gold, but willing to reply to her, it means that her anger is almost gone.

Shen Yansheng put away his phone, went back upstairs to change his clothes, packed his bag and went out to the studio happily.

Shen Yansheng usually arrives at the studio on time before nine o’clock in the morning, but today it was almost noon.

Mengmeng looked out from time to time while she was working. When it was almost twelve o’clock, she finally couldn’t help it and turned to ask Ruan Yuan, “You said that Sister Shengsheng is angry with that surname Zhang, and she hasn’t come so late today. ”

Ruan Yuan nodded and said, “It’s very possible. If it was me, I really wanted to slap me. How can there be such a shameless person in this world who steals someone else’s design to win an award, yet dares to sue the victim for violation. Her reputation.”

Mengmeng said: “Sister Shengsheng is too decent. That surnamed Zhang came to the door that day, and that smug look, if it were me, I would have been a shrew. Sister Shengsheng is really good-natured.”

Ruan Yuan said: “Sister Sheng Sheng is not a good-natured person, she is scolding that kind of person, and she is flattering her own level. If it were me, I would be too lazy to scold her. If I scold her, I am afraid of getting my mouth dirty.”

The two were talking when they saw Shen Yansheng pushing the door open from the outside with a wide-eyed smile.

“Have you eaten yet?” Shen Yansheng asked happily as soon as he entered the door.

Mengmeng and Ruan Yuan looked at each other, and then Mengmeng spoke first and asked tentatively, “Sister Shengsheng, has the matter of Zhang Siqi reversed? Have you succeeded in defending your rights?”

“No.” Shen Yansheng put the bag in the cabinet, then took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

Ruan Yuan couldn’t help but ask: “Then why are you so happy? Mengmeng and I were talking just now, thinking that you were so angry with your surname Zhang that you haven’t come to work so late today.”

Shen Yansheng smiled and said while standing in front of the mirror with her hair tied, “Why do I affect my emotions for that kind of person, all the things and people in life are more important than her.”

Ruan Yuan observed the joy between Shen Yansheng’s brows and eyes, how she looked like a woman in love, and asked with a smile, “Sister Shengsheng, are you in love?”

Shen Yansheng smiled, turned to look at Ruan Yuan, and said, “I’ve always been in love.”

Then he went to the tea room inside to make coffee.

After Shen Yansheng left, Mengmeng whispered to Ruan Yuan, “Sister Shengsheng has a boyfriend.”

“Ah?” Ruan Yuan was a little surprised and said, “Why haven’t you seen it?”

Mengmeng said: “You haven’t been here for a long time, I don’t know. In fact, I didn’t know it at the beginning. It was on New Year’s Eve last year that Sister Shengsheng deliberately let us get off work early. She also left at noon, and there was a car at that time. Rolls-Royce is here to pick her up.”

Ruan Yuan opened her eyes gossip, “Sister Shengsheng’s boyfriend drives a Rolls-Royce?”

Mengmeng nodded, “It should be rich, but I’ve never met anyone.”

The two were gossiping, and Shen Yansheng came out of the room with coffee, and asked in a good mood, “What do you two want to eat for lunch? I’ll treat you.”

Mengmeng raised her hand first, “I want to eat hot pot!”

“Which one do you want to eat?” Shen Yansheng put the coffee on the bar by the window, picked up her mobile phone and clicked on Dianping to see the nearby food list.

Mengmeng said: “Haidilao has opened in the mall next door. It has been fenced and renovated a while ago. It just opened last night, and the business is very good.”

“Just opened? Then they probably won’t be delivering takeaways recently.” Shen Yansheng glanced back at the opposite Financial Street, thought for a while, and then said, “Why don’t we go directly to eat.”

Mengmeng’s eyes lit up, she was very happy, and said, “Okay, okay.”

Ruan Yuan asked, “What about the store?”

Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “If you close the door, it’s a holiday.”

Mengmeng clapped her hands together happily, “Great, long live the boss.”

After closing the store, the three went to the next mall for dinner.

When I walked to the door of Haidilao, I saw that there were already people lined up outside.

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but tut, and said, “Why are there so many people at noon.”

Ruan Yuan said: “It’s just opened, and the noon time is long. It is estimated that everyone has come after get off work.”

Shen Yansheng said: “Go get a number first.”

“I’m going, I’m going!” Mengmeng had already run over first.

After taking the number, there were still several tables in front of him, and it was estimated that there would be a wait, so Shen Yansheng proposed to go upstairs for a while.

When passing by a men’s clothing store, Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but go in. The seventh day of next month is Lu Jingce’s birthday, and she hasn’t decided what to give him.

Seeing that she was looking at men’s shirts, Ruan Yuan leaned over to gossip with a smile, “Sister Shengsheng, do you want to buy it for your boyfriend?”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, and said, “I haven’t decided what to give for his birthday next month.”

After shopping in the store for a long time, Shen Yansheng didn’t find anything he particularly liked.

After visiting the whole second floor, Mengmeng suggested, “Let’s go upstairs to buy milk tea, I want to drink Four Seasons Milk Tea.”

Shen Yansheng nodded, and the three of them went to the elevator holding hands.

He was sitting on the escalator. When going upstairs, Shen Yansheng accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar person standing on the descending escalator next to him.

But the elevator went down too fast, she didn’t see it clearly for a while, and looked back subconsciously.

Seeing what Shen Yansheng was looking at, Ruan Yuan asked curiously, “What’s the matter, Sister Shengsheng?”

Shen Yansheng stared at the back for a while, and determined that it was Zhang Siqi’s assistant.

When the elevator went up to the third floor, she immediately took the down elevator next to her and hurried down, leaving a sentence, “You go first, I have something to do.”

She ran down the elevator in three or five steps and ran in the direction of Lin Jiayi.

But the mall was too big, she chased to the second floor and couldn’t see Lin Jiayi at all.

She went to the first floor again, and even looked around outside the mall, but found no one.

She couldn’t help frowning, almost wondering if she had read it wrong just now.

She went back to the company a while ago and wanted to find Lin Jiayi to testify for her.

Because she clearly remembered that Lin Jiayi was there when she asked Zhang Siqi to hand in the design draft and explained her design concept to her.

If Lin Jiayi is willing to testify for her, she will have strong witness.

But when she returned to the company, the human resources director told her that Lin Jiayi had resigned a few days ago.

She wanted to get to Lin Jiayi’s phone, but it was always turned off when she called.

When she found her home, the landlord told her that Lin Jiayi had left the lease a few days ago.

She even found her hometown, and her parents also said that Lin Jiayi did not go back.

She searched all over the place for several days, but Lin Jiayi just disappeared from the world.

Back on the third floor, Mengmeng and Ruan Yuan had already bought milk tea and were sitting in their seats waiting for her.

She walked over, pulled out the stool and sat down.

Ruan Yuan asked, “What’s the matter, sister? Who was that person just now?”

Shen Yansheng took a sip of milk tea and sighed, “Like Zhang Siqi’s former assistant.”

Mengmeng asked in surprise: “Really? Did you find her?”

Shen Yansheng shook his head, stirred the ice cubes in the milk tea cup with a straw, and said, “I’m not sure if it is, but it looks very similar, but when you get to the second floor, she is nowhere to be seen.”

While speaking, he raised his head and suddenly saw Lu Jingce coming down the escalator on the third floor.

She almost thought she thought Lu Jingce had an illusion, how could he be here.

Mengmeng suddenly grabbed Ruan Yuan’s hand and lowered her voice a little excitedly, “Look at the elevator, my mom is so handsome.”

Ruan Yuan also saw that the man was wearing a well-tailored black suit, he was tall, and his facial features were as handsome as a knife and a pen. The most important aura is that it is out of tune with the people around him, and it seems that he should not be a man who appears in such an ordinary shopping mall.

Mengmeng was peeking at the other party, and suddenly found that the other party was walking straight towards them, she was so excited that she grabbed Ruan Yuan’s hand, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, “Damn, why is he coming towards us? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man was already in front of him, his voice was quite nice, deep and magnetic.

“Eat this at noon?”

Ruan Yuan followed the man’s gaze, turned her head subconsciously, and looked at Shen Yansheng.

Shen Yansheng released the lip biting the straw, looked up at Lu Jingce, and said, “No. I’m going to eat Haidilao, I’m queuing up.”

Lu Jingce glanced at the milk tea cup in front of her and saw several pieces of ice in the transparent cup. He couldn’t help frowning, and said, “Drink less ice.”

Shen Yansheng let out an “oh” and silently put down the straw.

Lu Jingce glanced at the friend next to Shen Yansheng, then looked at Shen Yansheng, and said, “Come with me.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward.

Seeing Lu Jingce standing by the elevator waiting for her, Shen Yansheng got up and followed her.

The corner beside the elevator was quiet. Shen Yansheng walked in front of Lu Jingce and asked curiously, “Why are you here?”

Lu Jingce said, “There’s something wrong.”

Shen Yansheng looked at him suspiciously, “Are you here to do business?”

Lu Jingce glanced at her, “Why not?”

“…”

All right.

Lu Jingce didn’t tell her, and she didn’t bother to ask. With a smile on her face, she asked, “Have you eaten lunch? Do you want to eat together?”

“No.” Lu Jingce said, “I’m going to the airport soon. There will be a financial summit tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I think I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.”

Shen Yansheng was somewhat disappointed when he heard this. She originally wanted to wait for Lu Jingce to come back tonight and reconcile with him.

But Lu Jingce was busy with work, so she couldn’t say anything. She nodded and said, “Okay.”

Lu Jingce stared at her for a while, then said, “Go home early at night, don’t go drinking again.”

Shen Yansheng looked at him and said, “I just drank a little last night, just happened to be met by you.”

Lu Jingce said, “What’s your name?”

When Shen Yansheng heard this, she suddenly thought of something, looked at Lu Jingce, and asked a little nervously, “I didn’t vomit on you last night, did I?”

Lu Jingce didn’t look good. He glanced at her and said, “Then I will definitely wake you up and show you what you have done.”

Hearing this, Shen Yansheng couldn’t help laughing.

It’s been a long time since the two of them spoke so calmly. If Lu Jingce hadn’t had to leave in a hurry, he would have liked to take them back to the car.

Seeing the smile on Shen Yansheng’s face, the dull mood for more than a month was finally relieved a little, and he said, “Okay, let’s go eat, I’m leaving.”

Shen Yansheng nodded and said, “Be careful driving yourself.”

Lu Jingce let out an “um”, turned around and walked straight towards the straight ladder in front of him.

Shen Yansheng stood there, watching Lu Jingce enter the elevator and the elevator door closed before she turned around and returned to her seat.

As soon as he sat down, he immediately received two lines of gossip.

Mengmeng was gossiping and excited, and asked, “Sister Shengsheng, is that your boyfriend just now? The one who drove a Rolls-Royce to pick you up on New Year’s Eve?”

Shen Yansheng didn’t even remember what car Lu Jingce drove when he came to pick her up on New Year’s Eve, nodded and answered honestly, “Yes.”

Mengmeng is worthy of being a college student who has just left the school. She is very curious and said, “But why hasn’t he come to the studio to pick you up recently, I thought you two broke up.”

Shen Yansheng smiled frankly and said, “I almost broke up. I’ve been quarreling recently.”

She didn’t want to talk about her emotional affairs in depth, she picked up the milk tea and said, “Let’s go, go down and see if you can see us.”
