Chapter 70

The moment she released her hand, Wen Ning’s heart came to her throat.

Maybe it has been seen? Will this feel like “there is no silver 300 taels here”? But the way they held hands with their fingers clasped together was even more suspicious… No, that was equivalent to directly announcing their relationship.

Terrible.

The colleague’s eyes swept to Gu Chixi, and he said in surprise, “President Gu…” He looked at them up and down and couldn’t close their mouths.

Coffee, shopping bags, at first glance, they came out to go shopping.

Gu Chixi nodded calmly, his expression indifferent, like a cold machine that was programmed.

She curled up her fingertips, and the hand hanging by her side only touched the air. In an instant, her heart was empty, and the cold wind poured in, causing a little soreness and numbness.

The colleague looked away awkwardly, “What a coincidence, Captain Wen, are you coming out to play too?”

“Yeah,” Wen Ning pretended to be calm, “just stroll around.”

Her heart beat faster and her ears gradually warmed, as if a needle was stabbing her scalp. Without waiting for her colleague to speak, she continued, “Then I have something to do, so I’ll go first.”

“Hey, good.” The colleague glanced at Gu Chixi again.

Wen Ning turned around and walked towards the elevator, her footsteps were windy, her chest and mouth heaved deeply, just as the elevator reached this floor, the door opened, and a few people came out, she couldn’t wait to get in and press the floor.

The door was about to close, and Gu Chixi’s figure appeared in her sight. She was stunned for a moment, then remembered that there was someone else, and quickly pressed the door button.

Gu Chixi stopped outside and looked at her through a gap, the dark eyes were chaotic, the door opened, walked in slowly, and stood next to her.

There was a dull feeling in the narrow space. Wen Ning looked down at the toes of her shoes, her face was still warm, and she was still immersed in the embarrassment of being smashed by her colleagues and the panic that she might be discussed. She imagined all kinds of things. Like what happens, the scalp can’t help but tingle.

Anxiety is biting like countless little bugs, and the sound of deep breathing can be clearly heard.

Gu Chixi looked sideways at her.

On the first floor, the elevator door opened slowly, and there were many people outside. Gu Chixi went to hold Wen Ning’s hand until her fingertips touched it. Wen Ning withdrew her hand as if she had been struck by electricity, and hurried out.

The people outside couldn’t wait to pour in.

Gu Chixi got out of the elevator and had to speed up and catch up with the person in front, “Ning Ning—”

Wen Ning walked faster.

She had long legs and big strides, thinking that she could see the outside from upstairs. Maybe her colleagues were watching from the window. Under the anxiety, she lost a sentence without looking back: “Let’s go separately and go back to eat. .”

Gu Chixi stopped in place, watching Wen Ning’s back getting further and further away.

There were people coming and going on the street, and the ground was wet with water stains. She stood in the cold wind like a solidified sculpture and saw Wen Ning stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went up. After a long time, she took a mechanical step and called the driver while walking…

Back in Tianhe Bay, Wen Ning went upstairs and locked herself in the room.

The coffee had warmed, and the bitter taste gradually turned into a strong fragrance in her mouth. She bit the straw and leaned on the sofa wearily.

There is a lot of gossip in the company, especially in the cabin department. If a colleague accidentally leaks something or mentions it casually when chatting with someone, the rumor will spread like this. The wider the scope, the less controlled it is.

What will she and Gu Chixi be rumored to be like?

Wen Ning irritably grabbed a handful of her hair, gulled her coffee, put it aside, bent her knees and curled herself up.

After sitting for a while, there was movement outside the window, the sound of the iron door opening, and the sound of entering the password at the door of the living room. It was Gu Chixi who came back. She held her breath and didn’t hear the man knocking on the door as expected.

Feeling suddenly a little heavy.

She broke free from her hand and left her, and at that moment she wished to distance herself from her, and in the morning, she still woke up in her arms and was kissed tenderly.

Hot and cold, ups and downs.

This change came so quickly that she felt that she and Gu Chixi were two crumbling and dangerous buildings, something was always missing from each other, and a slight wind could blow them into ruins.

But they clearly have a relationship and tacit understanding for thirteen years…

Wen Ning felt uneasy.

The embarrassment and panic of being smashed aggravated her anxiety and forced her to hurt Gu Chixi. She could only comfort herself. Marriage is a contract, and it’s just fulfilling the contract. Because she didn’t want to make it public, her behavior today was excusable.

Self-comfort relieved the guilt, but the anxiety was still there. Wen Ning picked up her mobile phone and clicked into the intranet forum. She kept sliding her index finger upwards, and turned over more than ten pages of posts in one go.

Then, WeChat group, Weibo circle of friends, penguin group…

All over again.

There are no words about her.

There is also Gu Chixi’s Rainbow Fart Building floating on the homepage of the forum.

Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, put down her phone, and slumped on the sofa with her eyes closed.

It was noon and she was a little hungry. She was about to get up to cook when there was a knock on the door. Opening the door, Gu Chixi stood outside with a pale face, “Ning Ning, it’s time to eat.”

Wen Ning opened her mouth, her throat choked, and she only spit out a simple word: “…Oh.”

The two went downstairs one after the other. On the table was a hot four-course soup and a plate of dumplings. Gu Chixi served Wen Ning with rice, pointed to the dumplings and said, “I cooked two kinds, stuffed with corn and shrimp, and stuffed with pork and cabbage.”

Wen Ning nodded absentmindedly, and put a dumpling filled with corn and shrimp into her mouth.

It’s also the winter solstice.

The two ate quietly, the chopsticks collided with the plate and the bowl made a slight crisp sound, Wen Ning lowered her head, and she didn’t even glance forward an inch from the corner of the eye. Suddenly, there was a glutinous rice pearl ball in the bowl.

“It’s okay,” Gu Chixi’s deep voice reassured her, “Even if she can see something, she won’t say it.”

Wen Ning chopped up her chopsticks and raised her head.

Gu Chixi lowered her eyelids, didn’t look at her, and continued to eat calmly after speaking.

“But there are always people who gossip in private…” Wen Ning whispered.

The atmosphere at the table seemed to be a little heavier.

Gu Chixi chewed more slowly, Xiu Nong’s eyelashes trembling slightly under his eyelids.

She didn’t have the strength to comfort Wen Ning. On such a cruel topic, every word she said was like a stab in her heart. The wound was so deep and wide that she couldn’t breathe properly in pain. You can only restrain yourself, and then restrain yourself, and focus your attention on food.

One afternoon, Gu Chixi was sitting in the living room to work, Wen Ning was playing games in the room, but the same house was thousands of miles apart, and no one disturbed anyone.

The winter solstice has just passed, and it is as cold as its temperature.

The dinner was simple, no matter how Wen Ning took the initiative to talk to Gu Chixi, this person only responded lightly, his emotions seemed to be shrouded in a thick dust mist, chaotic, invisible and intangible.

The bedroom was lit with a cream-orange light.

Wen Ning was sitting on the bed in her pajamas, and a hazy light mist spread all over her body softly. She paid attention to the time while brushing the posts.

Usually at this time, Gu Chixi should enter the room, play with her for a while as he did when he was a child, and then go to bed.

Are you angry?

There were two identical lipsticks on the bedside, Wen Ning couldn’t sit still, picked up one of them and ran downstairs.

The living room was empty and dark, and the small night light by the stairs emitted a bright orange shimmer.

Wen Ning knocked on the door.

After knocking twice, the door opened. A ray of cold light leaked out, and Gu Chixi’s figure appeared behind the door, pure white pajamas, long hair scattered, and a dull expression.

“Don’t you go upstairs?” Wen Ning asked naturally.

Gu Chixi’s eyes seemed to be surprised, but it quickly disappeared. She shook her head mechanically, “I want to be quiet alone.”

“You…” Wen Ning pouted, “Are you angry?”

“No.”

“You don’t even ask why you’re angry, just say no, pretending to be nothing like it.” Wen Ning raised her eyebrows.

In the past, when she was exposed, Gu Chixi would always smile, pinching her nose, or pulling her ears. But now, there is no expression on Gu Chixi’s face, and his eyes only fall on her hands.

It was a lipstick with a black lacquer shell.

Wen Ning lowered her head along her line of sight and raised her hand, “This is for you.”

“thanks.”

Gu Chixi took the lipstick and pinched it tightly in his palm, “I’ll take it, go back to sleep quickly.”

“?”

“You…” Wen Ning looked at her in surprise.

“Um?”

“How do you—”

She took the initiative to bring her to the door, but this person actually drove her away?

“What about me?” Gu Chixi asked quietly.

When there is no smile, this face looks indifferent and serious, which teaches people not to approach.

Wen Ning opened her mouth, but hesitated before saying, “Why don’t you wear lemon pajamas?”

“I don’t want to wear it.”

“I like to see you wearing that.”

“I don’t want to wear it,” Gu Chixi repeated, his voice slightly cold, “I’m very tired, can you rest me?”

Wen Ning was stunned.

Gu Chixi was about to close the door when Wen Ning stepped forward to stop her, “I’m sleeping with you, or you can go up with me.”

“I want to be alone.”

“I’m afraid of ghosts…” Wen Ning began to panic.

Gu Chixi frowned, but was unmoved, gritted his teeth, reached out and pushed her out, closed the door with a “bang”, and locked it.

The dim light engulfed Wen Ning, she stared at the closed door, stunned for a long time, and finally reacted, and her heart sank to the bottom.

“Hey—” She raised her hand and clapped the door, shouting loudly, “I’m not wrong.”

“Open the door!”

“I have the key!”

Wen Ning was flustered and said so, but she didn’t go to get the key. After waiting for a while, there was no sign of the door to be opened, and warm water vapor filled her eyes, “Gu Chixi…”

Tears fell down.

ignore her, right?

chase her away?

Wen Ning sniffed, bit her lip, wiped away her tears, turned around and ran upstairs.

—Bam!

The door slammed and the whole house seemed to shake.

…

The sound hit Gu Chixi’s heart heavily.

She turned over and lay on her side, pulled the quilt to cover her head, the tears from the corners of her eyes wet the pillow, and the hill that was arched on the bed twitched.

When she was a child, she was an unexpected child. Her mother used her as a bargaining chip in exchange for wealth. In her father’s eyes, she was dispensable. She had no family status and no dignity. light life. She is desperate to have a small family of her own.

But even if he is married, his wife is the person he loves and trusts the most for many years, and he still has to live like a lover.

She wasn’t angry, she just felt sad. Wen Ning did nothing wrong, this is a contract, a condition she promised before the two got the certificate, no one is to blame. She was the one who used the means first.

Eat the fruit you sow.

At that time, it is conceivable that divorce is also an inevitable result.

Gu Chixi wiped away her tears, opened the drawer of the bedside table, found the marriage certificate, put it in her arms, and slowly closed her eyelids.

For several days, Wen Ning ignored Gu Chixi.

Gu Chixi went out early and returned late every day. She was very busy. Later, she stayed at the hotel again. Wen Ning was the only one left at home. Gradually, the stubborn temper in her heart disappeared and she felt a little regretful.

If she could coax patiently that day…

It was always her elder sister who coaxed her. She had never coaxed anyone, so it was even more difficult to speak.

In the past few days, Wen Ning has been paying close attention to the company forum, gossip account and various small groups, guarding the news with trepidation.

At the same time, more and more regretful.

She wanted to send a message to Gu Chixi, but she edited and deleted it back and forth. When she sent the text, she couldn’t see Gu Chixi’s expression, nor could she judge the tone, and she was at a loss.

After thinking about it, Wen Ning decided to find someone quietly.

In the afternoon, she arrived at the company.

Gu Chixi just came back from a business trip this morning. He is busy at the moment and is not in the office. It was still early, Wen Ning thought of her cousin who was in training, and went to the training center for a walk.

I haven’t seen her for a month and a half, and the little girl has lost a lot of weight. Seeing her is more kissable than seeing her mother.

“Cousin oooooooo-” Xu Anruo gave a bear hug.

Wen Ning rubbed her head and asked, “How is it, are you still getting used to it?”

“Hey, it’s good. I just finished the exam last week. I think it’s quite interesting to take swimming lessons this week, but it’s just a little bit harder.” Her dimples sank happily, and it didn’t look like she was working hard at all.

“We just got the medical certificate today, and we will take the Civil Aviation English Level 2 exam next week.”

Seeing that she was in good condition, Wen Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, come on, I’ll give you a big red envelope after the training.”

“No need,” she waved her hand, “keep your money. I’ve been working on that short video for a while now, sharing our training routine. People outside are quite interested in this, and I’ve gained a lot of followers. I can earn a little bit of advertising money.”

“When I get on the plane and start flying, I can live stream in uniform hahaha!”

Wen Ning’s face changed slightly, and she frowned: “Miaomiao, the company has regulations not to wear uniforms to make those messes…”

“Ah? But I saw a lot of peers live streaming, other companies.”

“Fake. One hundred yuan for a set of fake uniforms.”

“…”

The little girl’s face collapsed, and she muttered to herself, “Without a uniform as a gimmick, how can I attract others to watch, how can I make money.”

Wen Ning: “?”

She wanted to praise her cousin just now. It wasn’t three minutes of heat, and she could stand the hard work. Unexpectedly, the child’s abacus was cracking.

“Are you short of money?”

“There’s no shortage of living expenses, but if I want to learn more things, I’m short of things, such as golf, skiing, diving…” Xu Anruo counted with his fingers, his eyes shining.

Wen Ning was even more puzzled, “Why do you learn these things?”

It’s all money-burning stuff.

Although she learned a few things when she was a child, she forgot all of them when she grew up.

Xu Anruo raised her eyebrows: “Can’t you like it?” After speaking, she lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes covering her true emotions.

“If you really like it, I’ll pay you to learn, and then I’ll give you a good training. Don’t be distracted to do anything else.” Wen Ning patted her on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

“What a joke, cousin, you still take care of yourself, I have a way.”

“It’s okay, I’ve paid off all my debts.”

“???”

In Wen Ning’s mind, she only thought that her cousin knew that she was in debt and that life was difficult, so she would not trouble her, so she was quick to talk. When she realized she had leaked, her cousin’s suspicious eyes told her that it was too late to take it back.

“…Well.” She had to bite the bullet and said, “Do a favor to a friend, and she’ll pay it back for me.”

Xu Anruo opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, “It’s President Gu!”

“Shh—” Wen Ning raised her fingers and looked left and right, “Keep your voice down.”

“Wow, cousin, you and President Gu are just ordinary friends? How can ordinary friends give so much money just because you are a favor. Now you want to lie to me?” The little girl danced with excitement.

Wen Ning retorted: “It’s a big job, not a small one.”

“It’s a big job. For a person like President Gu, as long as she can solve it with money, she can ask anyone to help. Why did she ask you? She must know that you owe a debt, right? Otherwise, why is it so coincidental? Do you want your help? Cousin, you’re a fool to fly a plane.” Xu Anruo educated her seriously.

Wen Ning’s expression gradually solidified.

The trace of doubt in my heart that never dissipated was hooked again…

In the evening, Gu Chixi got out of the elevator and walked towards the basement.

A blue Bentley parked quietly in the parking space, with the headlights on, the driver stood outside, saw her approaching, and opened the rear door on one side.

There was another person in the car.

“Lemon?”

Gu Chixi got into the car and looked at the people beside him in surprise, “Why are you…”

Wen Ning pointed to the driver.

Something to say.

Gu Chixi understood and said to the driver who had just sat in the driver’s seat, “Xiao Fan, go outside and wait for a while.”

“Okay.” The driver was very understanding, got out of the car without any hesitation, walked three meters in front of the side and waited, turning his back to the front of the car.

A very light lemon fragrance diffuses.

Gu Chixi looked at Wen Ning, a little tiredness in his eyes, suppressing the faint joy. The color of her lipstick today is a little richer, with a stern and mature style.

“Is there a problem?”

Slightly rusty tone.

Wen Ning lowered her eyes and her heart gradually dropped.

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly stood up with her waist down, straddled and sat on Gu Chixi’s lap, hugging her neck, “You’re still mad at me…”

Gu Chixi’s body froze slightly, her breathing was chaotic for a while, and her arms couldn’t help wrapping her waist.

“Why didn’t you wait for me in the office?” Her face was close to her ear.

Rub and rub.

Wen Ning closed her eyes and whispered, “Last time you said you put ‘that’ in the car, I…”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Mr. Gu: Huh? Which?

Ningzai: It’s… um, that.

Mr. Gu: What do you want to do with “that”?

Lemon Cub: Oh, I’ll take a look
