Chapter 31

In the spacious suite, the lighting is a soft and warm cream orange, and the air is filled with a strong smell of wine.

A woman in a small dress was lying on the side of the bed, her long hair was messy, her breathing was even, her feet were sticking out of the edge of the bed, her high heels had not been taken off, and her skin was reddish.

Disgusting vomit piled up on the rug by the bed.

There was a sparse sound of water from the bathroom, and there were vomit-stained white dresses and high-heeled shoes on the floor beside the door. After a while, the water stopped, there was a rustling, the door opened, and Wen Ning came out.

She was wearing a big fluffy bathrobe, her cheeks were slightly drunk, her hair was still dripping, and her feet were hotel linen slippers.

Looking at the time, it was eleven and fifty.

Wen Ning walked to the door of the bedroom and took a look. The drunk woman was still asleep, unconscious. She glanced at the vomit on the ground, frowned, and quickly closed the door.

Everyone drank like crazy tonight, some people who were not drinking well also joined in the fun, mixing different wines.

The person in the room was He Yu’s friend, who came from out of town and stayed at this hotel. I heard that I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I felt unhappy.

There were many people in the bar. He Yu had to greet friends and inspect the situation of all parties. He was too busy, so he asked Wen Ning, who did not drink, to help bring people back to the hotel.

At first, the girl was still a little conscious. She cried in the car and said indistinctly about her ex-boyfriend. Wen Ning was worried all the way, for fear that she would vomit in her car. It was finally delivered to the hotel safely, and as soon as she entered the room, the girl held her back again, muttering and complaining.

Then vomited.

spit her all over.

Wen Ning has a slight habit of cleanliness, and the disgusting things stick to her body. She can’t wait to peel off her skin. Without a word, she went to take a bath. She washed it carefully from head to toe, and used up a small bottle of toiletries. .

Her clothes and shoes were all soiled, so she could only wear the hotel’s nightgown and slippers.

Wen Ning dried her hair and took out her phone to call He Yu.

There is a missed call from He Yu.

There is also a WeChat and a text message.

Gu Chixi: [I’m going over now. ]

Gu Chixi: [Pay attention to hygiene. ]

“?”

The WeChat sending time was two hours ago, and the text message was sent ten minutes ago.

Wen Ning was confused, holding the hair dryer for a while, and suddenly remembered that Gu Chixi said she would go to the bar later today.

The company is far from the bar, and it takes about half an hour to drive there. When Gu Chixi set off at 9:30, Wen Ning was still in the bar. She sent people here around 10:00. did not go back.

Shouldn’t that person be angry if he didn’t see her?

What does it mean to pay attention to hygiene?

Tell her not to drink indiscriminately? not clean?

Wen Ning couldn’t figure it out, so she opened the contact list and dialed Gu Chixi’s number.

No one picked up.

She called He Yu again.

“Ningzai, why haven’t you come back?” There was a bit of noise on the other end of the phone.

Wen Ning said succinctly: “It’s delivered to the hotel, spit on me, and just took a shower.”

“Ah? Do you have any clothes to change? I’ll send it to you.”

“No, just make do with a bathrobe. That… did you see my friend, the bar she went to at about ten o’clock.”

“Which friend?”

“Gu Chixi, she’s very beautiful. We had barbecue together last time.” The man’s face flashed in her mind.

He Yu paused and said in a low voice, “No, she will come too?”

Wen Ning was stunned.

“Lemon cub?”

“Today is too late, I won’t go there. I’ll go home first and make an appointment next time.” Wen Ning said a few words in a hurry, hung up the phone, and called Gu Chixi again.

Still no one picked up.

She faintly felt that something was wrong, and her hair was no longer in the mood to blow, so she put down the hairdryer, threw the dirty clothes and shoes into the trash can outside the door, and left in her bathrobe and slippers.

At midnight, the streets are empty and silent.

Wen Ning put on the spare soft-soled shoes in the car and went all the way to the hotel.

Where Gu Chixi usually lives depends on Wen Ning’s itinerary. She has a flight tomorrow afternoon and usually stays at the hotel instead of going back to Tianhe Bay, so Gu Chixi should be in the hotel tonight.

The elevator enters the house, and the lobby is lit with a cool white light.

Wen Ning walked in in three steps and two steps, pushed open the sliding door, and the living room was completely dark.

not there?

Back to Tianhe Bay?

She turned on the light, and her eyes lit up instantly, and the figure on the sofa startled her.

Gu Chixi sat there quietly, like a sculpture.

“you-”

Wen Ning looked at her in surprise and walked over, “When did you come back, why didn’t you answer my call?”

Gu Chixi moved her fingertips, turned her head mechanically, and looked at Wen Ning from top to bottom. Loose bathrobes, hotel slippers, loose hair, reddish faces…

It completely confirmed her conjecture and overturned all the reasons she was looking for.

A dense sense of suffocation came to my heart.

Gu Chixi looked at Wen Ning with red eyes, and asked softly, “Is she wearing a condom?”

“what?”

“Refers to | sets.”

“…”

Wen Ning blinked, smacking the words repeatedly, and after a while, she finally understood what it meant, “Do you think I went to the bar to meet P?”

Gu Chixi lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Such an attitude is equivalent to acquiescence. Wen Ning felt angry and funny, and a nameless fire burst out.

“You judge by what I’m wearing? In your eyes, I’m the kind of person who casually goes out with P? Even if I go out for an appointment today, what does it have to do with you? You can go out on a date if you’re different. , I won’t say a word when you come back wearing someone else’s clothes!”

Wen Ning growled, tears suddenly falling.

She doesn’t care and doesn’t care if others misunderstand her, but this person is Gu Chixi, the one who grew up with her since childhood. She had been in a relationship for more than ten years, and she thought she knew each other enough.

And she cared so much about her thoughts.

As a child, Gu Chixi always favored her unconditionally. Even if she did something wrong, she would comfort her after preaching. In Wen Ning’s heart, the most trusted person is Gu Chixi. Even though they have been separated for seven years, the long-established trust and tacit understanding are buried deep in their bones.

But today, this person didn’t even ask a question, and decided that she was going to make an appointment with P.

So she was aggrieved.

She finally understood what “pay attention to hygiene” meant.

Wen Ning sneered, her chest heaving violently, feeling ashamed, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

“At ten o’clock, I arrived at the door of the bar and saw your car coming out of the parking lot…” Gu Chixi’s voice was low, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

“I thought I was too late, you were going home, and then I followed you until you stopped at the door of that hotel. I didn’t think too much, I just wondered, I waited outside for a long time, you Didn’t come out, I just—”

She paused, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

Although it was clear that it was a misunderstanding, she lost Wen Ning’s trust. In other words, she didn’t know that Ning Ning still believed in her and cared about her.

Wen Ning thought that Gu Chixi guessed randomly based on her clothes, but she didn’t expect that there was still a passage in it. After listening to the explanation, most of her anger subsided, but she was still a little aggrieved.

“You’re dating P if you haven’t come out? You can call me, or just ask me why I’m wearing this outfit. Can I lie to you?”

Gu Chixi raised his eyes and said nothing.

The wall clock rattled away, and the second hand went round and round.

The curtains blocked the scenery outside, the atmosphere in the room was dull and depressing, and the cold white light shrouded the heads of the two of them, as if a layer of ice had condensed on their bodies.

Wen Ning hesitated for a while, then took the initiative to explain: “That’s Xiaoyu’s friend, who came from out of town and drank too much. Only if I didn’t drink, I helped send it to the hotel. She threw up on me, and I took three baths before I could. It’s clean.”

“…”

“If you have anything to say in the future, ask what you want to ask directly, don’t think about it yourself and wrong me.”

She glanced at Gu Chixi, became more annoyed, and turned back to the room. After a while, he came out with his pajamas and went to the bathroom to shower again.

Gu Chixi sat motionless for a long time, looked at the bathroom, got up and walked over, standing at the corner and waiting.

The water stopped and the door opened.

Wen Ning came out wearing a small sling and met Gu Chixi face to face. Seeing her looking deeply at him, she turned her face away and walked to the room without saying a word.

“Lime.”

She called her softly.

“Sleep, you’re not sleepy, I’m sleepy.” Wen Ning dropped a sentence and went back into the bedroom without turning her head.

—click

The door is locked.

The two have not spoken since that night.

Wen Ning flies with her eyes open every day, sleeps with her eyes closed, and paints when she is free. Gu Chixi does not disturb her because of her interest. She is also busy herself, leaving early and returning late. In this state, they gather less and leave more, and the relationship seems to have returned to the original point.

Recently, the company is promoting the project of establishing a Jiangcheng base.

As early as the beginning of last year, before the crisis, the company intends to expand to East China with Jiangcheng as the center. The project was in my hands for a long time, and it was delayed for a while due to the opening of new routes. When it was put on the schedule again, there was a problem with the funds and it was pressed again.

In the past ten years, the company has developed very well, the fleet has grown, and the money has become more and more floating. I started to hit the east with the hammer and the west with the hammer. I wanted to grasp everything, but the pace was too big and it was easy to pull the crotch. Last year, I thought about it. The introduction of new aircraft has all come to nothing this year.

There are priorities and priorities, Gu Chixi weighed it and decided to advance the Jiangcheng base project first.

For a week in a row, she went back and forth between Los Angeles and Jiangcheng three times, attended many meetings, and finally signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jiangcheng Transportation Group.

Involving market competition, this matter has temporarily become a secret.

Gu Chixi handed it over to Vice President Luo Qian, who was responsible for follow-up reports.

The middle-aged man had a refined face and handsome eyebrows. The two were sitting in Gu Chixi’s office. He said in a slow voice, “Mr. Gu, Jiangcheng has always been the territory of TECO. What we do is like going to the door to grab food.”

“So what?” Gu Chixi looked at him lightly.

“TECO is very strong, and it is the only airline company in Jiangcheng Province. With the support of the government, it is difficult for us to seize market share.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions so early.”

Gu Chixi casually turned the cross ring on his hand, and there was no trace of waves in his quiet eyes.

Luo Qian said nothing.

South China, centered on Los Angeles, is the territory of Plaza Premium. While expanding outward, we must also beware of other airlines intervening in front of our home. Therefore, before the official establishment of the Jiangcheng base, this matter must be kept strictly confidential.

If you don’t get what’s on the bright side, the comparison is who moves faster.

In the evening, it rained.

Thick dark clouds piled up, a flash of lightning flashed, and thunder rolled.

The heavy rain hit the floor-to-ceiling windows with a crackling sound. Gu Chixi stood alone in front of the window, and a dull light enveloped her whole body.

In the street scene downstairs, the leaves on both sides of the road were swayed by the wind. Pedestrians without umbrellas ran in a hurry in the rain. The road soon accumulated a shallow pool of puddles, and cars sped past, splashing water.

The phone rang suddenly.

At that moment, she thought it was the call of the person she was thinking of, but she picked up the phone and looked at it, but it was the call from the person she didn’t want to think about or see.

Yang Yi.

“What reason did you find for me to go back this time?” Gu Chixi stared out the window with a blank expression.

After a few seconds there, a woman’s slightly lowered voice came: “Xixi… Mom really misses you. Would you like to come home for dinner?”

Even though she was disheartened countless times, her heart still trembled when she heard the “care” from her mother.

What is missing, there is nothing to resist.

“By the way, Mom also renovated your room and made it very beautiful. You can live at home in the future. I will let the chef cook your favorite dishes every day—”

“Do you know what I like to eat?”

The phone was silent.

Gu Chixi sneered silently, with a hint of irony in his eyes, but quickly moved away, “You can eat, just stay.”

When you’re done, hang up.

It rained heavily and could not stop for a moment.

Gu Chixi glanced at his watch, picked up his bag, and left the office.

Going down to the parking lot, the elevator door opened, and a familiar face came into view. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was stuck in her throat.

Wen Ning was standing outside, half of her uniform shirt was wet, and her hair was a little wet and messy. She was stunned for a moment and greeted politely, “Mr. Gu.”

Gu Chixi squeezed her handbag tightly, nodded lightly, and walked out of the elevator to pass her.

Suddenly, she stopped.

“It’s raining?”

Wen Ning has stepped into the elevator with one foot, and the other foot is also entering. She did not stop due to inertia, and subconsciously pressed the floor. Before she could answer, the elevator door slowly closed.

Gu Chixi looked back with a sad expression.

After getting into the car, she took out her mobile phone and wanted to send Wen Ning a WeChat message. She edited it repeatedly, typed it out and deleted it. In the end, she didn’t say anything and put the phone back in.

…

Before going to Zhonglan Villa, Gu Chixi went back to the hotel and put the marriage certificate in his bag.

Although she didn’t believe that Yang Yi was simply calling her to go back to dinner, she also just wanted to showdown with the other party.

By the time we arrived at Zhonglan Villa, the rain had stopped.

There were obviously twice as many servants as the last time. Two were cleaning the yard and two were cleaning the flower beds.

Gu Chixi got out of the car, walked across the front yard without looking sideways, stepped into the main building, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yang Yi sitting alone on the big sofa, holding a blue cat in his arms, looking unhappy.

The little wolf dog was not there.

Hearing the footsteps, Yang Yi turned around with joy in his eyes, “Xixi…”

She held out a hand to her daughter.

Gu Chixi ignored it, walked straight to the single sofa diagonally opposite her, and sat down, “Where’s your boyfriend?”

“He…” Yang Yi retracted her hand angrily and sighed, “He went out of town to shoot a magazine.”

“So you are bored and call me back?”

“Don’t say that.”

Yang Yi picked up the blue cat and put it aside, got up and leaned over, just sitting on the armrest of the sofa, holding her daughter’s arm, “Xixi, the dishes are ready, just wait for you to come back and serve the table, let’s go, let’s eat go.”

“No hurry,” Gu Chixi pulled out his arm, “After talking about business, eat.”

She opened her handbag, took out a small red notebook, and handed it over.

“This is—” Yang Yi choked up when she saw the words above.

Gu Chixi said calmly, “Marriage certificate.”
