Chapter 10 When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out

Ling Xiangtao was quite straightforward, addressing all the key points and leaving Ivan speechless. He then elegantly opened the door of the modern car, saying: "I called the company today to cancel my leave, and I will resume normal work tomorrow. Director Yi, I hope to receive your guidance at the company in the future."

The crimson color sways in the transparent glass cup, which should have been a romantic brew for tea tasting, yet it has turned into a mere product for chugging down emotions.

"Then let's go," he urged. "My car is parked right there; we can eat and chat at the same time. Which bank are you looking for? Is it the Industrial and Commercial Bank where we receive our salaries?"

Su Qianye, you are truly heartless

Chiba neither cries nor makes a fuss, she simply has a somewhat blank expression; when asked a question, she responds with both questions and answers.

"Mom, I want to eat that cucumber," said Xiao Shi's four-year-old son, who had become the absolute center of attention at the table. Every half minute, he would come up with a new trick, and at this moment, he even stood on the chair in his shoes, reaching out to grab the cold dishes on the table.

In comparison, Aunt Zhang's daughter, who is in the third year of junior high, is much more well-behaved. Although her hair is cut short like a boy's, I haven't seen that girl lift her head to look at anyone since she sat down. Aunt Zhang nudged her daughter and said, "Call her... this is Aunt Su."

No matter how cheesy the situation, when a person as perfect as this appears in the morning, it seems entirely natural and utterly unpretentious. Yet, even though she has been enchanted and bewitched by the handsome man to the point of being dazed, Qianye still retains a sliver of rationality, rejecting the morning's goodwill. She, feeling sore all over, boarded the early bus. Due to excessive exercise the night before and lack of sleep, she fell into a deep slumber as soon as she got on the bus.

There are far more prominent figures on the stage than just the CEO, and even with his less than keen eyesight, Chiba can still recognize that familiar figure from the crowd at a glance

Ivan's expression was devoid of emotion, his eyes fixed on the cigarette. The two men faced each other across the car window, silent and uncommunicative. After several minutes, Ivan finally spoke: "Thank you for last night."

Ling Xiangtao looked at the girl in front of him, who was waddling like a duck, with a mix of annoyance and amusement. Finally, he reached out to support her, dragging and pulling her into a private room, where he helped her sit down.

Chiba's face turned red: "I cannot drink alcohol..."

The heartbeat feels as if it does not belong to oneself

In the early morning, she secretly watched him take off his clothes, tossing each piece onto the floor beneath the bed

He placed the glass of warm water that had been spilled into her left hand, then opened the medicine box and took out a pill, placing it in her right hand: "Take the medicine"

Let's have a meal together; I still owe you a meal

I know, of course I know, even if I didn't know before, I would have understood it after lying in bed for a month, wouldn't I

Director Yi

Xiao Shi casually asked: "What does your boyfriend do? Where does he work?"

The one who gently kisses oneself while lying on oneself is the morning, the morning that one loves.

Su Qianye! He angrily took the stomach medicine and water, adjusted her shoulder, and glared down at her: "Do you see clearly who I am?"

She actually raised her head and shot him a glance: "I am older than you"

Chiba's previous lifestyle did not provide her with the opportunity to come into contact with alcohol; at most, she had only ever drunk a can of beer, and that was during the summer, sipped slowly while holding it in her hand. Now, after downing a glass of red wine in one go with her eyes closed, she immediately feels a void in her abdomen, as if she needs to go to the bathroom, with sensations coming in waves.

He pressed his lips against her ear, gently licking and sucking her delicate earlobe

Well

Ling Xiangtao did not expect to be exposed, feeling embarrassed as he pinched his nose: "Well... that car isn't really new anymore. I gave it to... I gave it to my buddy to drive, so that car can't really be considered mine."

She fears losing, feeling lost and uneasy, wanting to draw in more warmth, thus she resolutely refuses to let go, tightly embracing his neck, greedily nestling in this man's arms

Aunt Zhang's daughter kept her head down, playing with her PSP like a corpse, completely ignoring her mother's words

"Zhi—-wei, wei..." The jarring sound of the microphone test promptly rescued Qianye from her embarrassment

The lottery draw took place, followed by the announcement of the winning numbers, and finally, the prize distribution... Amidst all the commotion, none of it concerned Qianye anymore; she lay on the table, drowsy as if she had fallen asleep, until the last of the excitement faded away. Aunt Zhang patted her shoulder: "Xiao Yezi, when are you planning to leave?"

"This is my first time, you... you..." She buried her face in the blanket and explained in a muffled voice

In the early morning, feeling somewhat taken aback, he widened his eyes, his shoulders stiff with excitement, and dared not move as he held her waist.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. What kind do you want? I'll introduce you to someone later..." Aunt Zhang's words began to flow.

As she watched the way the morning embraced her so cautiously, she distinctly felt that something seemed different

Her arms coiled tightly around his neck like a snake: "In the early morning, hold me..."

Chiba's arm draped over his neck, using it for support to half-sit up. She was wearing only a nightgown, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white neck. Shyly and timidly, she kissed his lips; her awkward movements lacked any skill, yet even so, the morning's breath had been completely disrupted.

Drunk ... ...

He became flustered because of her nervousness, stuttering in his speech, mixing Chinese and English, as if afraid of startling Qianye, his movements becoming even more gentle and careful: "Qianye, baby... I love you, trust in me, I will bring you the greatest happiness..."

Are you at work now

Ling Xiangtao said with a playful smile: "Just a trivial matter"

Ling Xiangtao's expression darkened, and his sharp gaze swept over: "Conditions? I don't need to set any conditions. Rest assured, I won't cause trouble. If I dared to stir up trouble in H City, my mother would definitely make me pay for it. However, your brother made me lie in the hospital for more than two weeks. I didn't feel much about it, but it did ignite the anger of my brothers. " His gaze circled around Ivan a few times, still wearing a smile, but his eyes were very cold. "I was wondering how someone could get beaten in H City and still manage to keep everything calm without leaving a trace; it turns out you have such a brother protecting you."

"Alas, why does your complexion look so bad?" It was quite unexpected that the person standing in front of her was Ling Xiangtao, who was holding a paper box used for a lottery draw in his hands, and he handed her the side with the opening, saying, "Here, go ahead and draw a number."

She looked up with her eyes unfocused, her gaze vacant, yet her response was still unequivocal: "One should not take medicine given by strangers."

Aunt Zhang awkwardly smiled at her and cleverly changed the subject: "Why didn't Xiao Yezi bring her boyfriend?"

Ivan did not deliver a speech; he merely stood behind the CEO, calmly shaking hands with the senior leaders of the branch offices one by one. After approximately twenty minutes, the leaders on stage dispersed, and the emcees finally began a new round of recitations, while the diners at dozens of tables below finally smiled broadly as they picked up their chopsticks and raised their glasses.

Yet all of this was completely oblivious to Qianye, who suppressed the weakness in her limbs caused by alcohol with continuous deep breaths. She listened to some old lecher at the main table making crude and tiresome jokes about "the female soldiers of the finance department" and held back the rising nausea in her stomach. After enduring this unavoidable formality with great difficulty, she finally relinquished her position, allowing the subsequent crowd to take over.

She does not want to lose everything, even if it is just a tiny bit of hope, she hopes to hold on to it tightly

I am sorry. Qingchen is so good to himself, but his brother does not allow them to be together. Qianye feels a pang of bitterness in her heart, unable to resist reaching out from under the blanket to embrace his neck, "Qingchen, we will be together, right?"

Tears fell despondently in the warmth of his gentle comforting voice: "In the early morning, we must always be together"

thousand

There is none

That cannot be counted

Chiba smiled awkwardly; in fact, she and Ling Xiangtao did not seem to have much of a relationship. Even now, she still could not figure out what illness had caused him to be hospitalized

As the car drove out of the parking lot, Ivan's words behind him were no longer heard by Ling Xiangtao, who sat in the driver's seat with a half-smile.

Goodness, is this the reaction one would expect from a drunken person

She smiled broadly and readily replied, "Sure, no problem"

Hi! Everyone has worked hard! Chiba felt a weight on her left shoulder, and with one hand, she gave a heavy pat. When she turned back to look, she found it was Brittany

The meal took an hour. After finishing, Ling Xiangtao cheerfully settled the bill. Qianye mentioned that she would take a car back to the company, and Ling Xiangtao did not insist otherwise. The two exchanged a few pleasantries at the door of the restaurant before parting ways

She drowsily reported her address

He patted her face, which was very hot: "I really want to strangle you"

A table with twelve seats, including her, only four people are company employees, while the others are family members

She suddenly became relaxed

Qian Ye thought, if she had known that the attendees of the banquet were so mixed, she would have insisted on bringing Qing Chen along to share the meal

He opened the car door, got out, and walked over to Ling Xiangtao, standing in front of him. With a sincere attitude, he said: "I apologize on behalf of Adrian; this matter is his fault. What do you want? You can set the terms..."

Just when Qianye was feeling drowsy and in a state between sleep and wakefulness, someone pushed her shoulder twice. She slightly focused her mind and happened to hear someone above her asking, "What happened to her?"

Love

Well, I heard you were looking for me regarding that matter related to the bank...

Ivan's seat was situated between two blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigners. The two foreigners were unable to use chopsticks; one was using a soup spoon to feed themselves while the other curiously observed the bustling crowd around them. Occasionally, they communicated with Ivan in English, but no matter how Ivan explained, they still struggled to understand the significance of the fervent and hierarchical toasting culture that is so prevalent at Chinese dining tables.

Chiba slowly looked around the hall and finally said: "I will go to the restroom and then take a taxi home"

Considering Ling Xiangtao's legendary family background, it seems that dealing with the bank is indeed a trivial matter. Not to mention treating him to a meal; even if he were to request ten meals, she would immediately reach into her pocket.

"Do you love me?" she asked tremulously in the early morning

Although Qianye was somewhat tipsy, she immediately understood that this matter could not be delayed. Since the start of the banquet, people had been coming and going around the main table in an endless stream, and even the waitstaff serving the dishes were nearly unable to squeeze in. Aunt Zhang had been constantly watching the movements at the main table from the very beginning, trying to find the right moment to go over and flatter the leaders. In fact, this practice of rushing to flatter the leaders according to departmental hierarchy, with people flowing like water, raises the question of how many mid-level employees the higher-ups can actually remember, let alone a newcomer like Qianye.

Qianye waited behind the human wall for a full five or six minutes before being pushed to the front by later arrivals. The six of them, who were toasting, were all female employees from the finance department. At the main table sat the CEO, COO, CFO, as well as various directors and senior leaders of the company, and even two representatives from foreign investors. Qianye and her colleagues had no connection to the executives; the only means for them to put on airs and curry favor was through their highest-ranking leader—Finance Director Ivan.

In the early morning ... ... in the early morning ... ... she is afraid, as there is too much uncertainty in the future

Chiba hesitated, unsure whether to accept or reject.

Ling Xiangtao

She felt a headache, a rhythmic pounding as if someone were striking a gong inside her head, but fortunately, her mind was still relatively clear, though her reactions were somewhat sluggish. After several seconds, she slowly managed to utter a single phrase: "It's nothing."

It is truly nonsense; it seems he is more speechless than she is

"If you brothers want to vent your frustrations, you can beat me up as a form of compensation. But Su Qianye, you must not move." Ivan's voice was soft yet firm, "Adrian cares about her very much."

Chiba ... ... '' he called her name joyfully, again and again

Chiba weakly replied: "You help me touch it."

It is evident that Brittany has deliberately dressed up today, wearing a long gown resembling a formal dress, which contrasts sharply with her usual sharp professional attire at the office. At this moment, she holds a glass of wine in her hand, her smile is charming, and there is surprisingly a hint of rare allure in her eyes.

Oh

Chiba sat right next to him, occasionally getting accidentally hit by the little one's careless punches and kicks. Although she was inwardly filled with utmost disdain, she still had to put on a flattering smile, pretending to say, "Your child is so full of energy".

Ling Xiangtao glanced at her expression, did not decline, and said, "Alright." He then took the paper box and left.

Su Qianye, you are truly a heartless person

Ivan pressed his lips tightly together, his expression growing even more severe. The incident from last night had caused quite a stir; what began as a simple vehicle collision escalated when anger flared in the morning, turning the perpetrator into the victim. When the traffic police arrived, they happened to encounter Ling Xiangtao and his group of friends coming out of the hotel. With Ling Xiangtao's connections in the city, resolving this matter was truly just a matter of a few words. The traffic police, without further ado, left with a remark, "It's a minor dispute; you can settle it privately." This allowed Ivan to take the opportunity to settle the matter with compensation, preventing the situation from escalating.

After greeting each of her colleagues one by one, she made her way to the restroom step by step, as if walking on cotton.

She was quite surprised: "No..."

The entire table of people stood up and raised their glasses

As the engine started and Ling Xiangtao's car began to move, Ivan, who had been silent all along, suddenly said: "Su Qianye is not a suitable plaything for you; she cannot afford to play..."

Whether it is now or in the future... you will always be with me, right

In fact, it is not only they who find it strange; even Ivan, who is not a native "banana person," has been driven to impatience by such enthusiasm. Throughout the night, apart from being inundated with alcohol, he hardly ate any food, although he never ran out of cigarettes.

Ling Xiangtao walked over, his hands in his pants pockets, his shiny leather shoes tapping rhythmically on the pavement tiles: "Are you coming out to eat?"

In the novels she has read, it is described that the first time can be very painful, and there may be bleeding, a significant amount of blood. She is afraid of pain, and even more afraid of bleeding

He breathed heavily as he kissed her back, his left hand supporting her waist while his right hand slid smoothly under the hem of her nightgown.

Are you okay, Little Leaf? You seem to be drunk

She looked up and realized that the event had already ended. Apart from a few individuals who were either drunk and vomiting or loudly talking nonsense, half of the attendees had already left

The gentleman at Aunt Zhang's house candidly remarked, "The CEO of your company is quite a character."

He complied; there was no other option.

It was quite easy to send Brittany away, but then the financial officer came over with a bottle of liquor, this time he was drinking white wine. At the table, except for the children, those who could handle their liquor took the white wine, while those like Chiba, who couldn't drink much, had no choice but to settle for red wine.

Play? Such an ordinary girl, he originally had no interest in playing at all

So ... ...

Chiba lifted her head, and Ling Xiangtao was standing under a street sycamore tree three meters away from her, holding a phone and giving her a mischievous smile.

It was only on that day that she realized just how excessively conservative she had been. The headquarters had reserved the entire lobby of the Minghao Hotel, setting up a total of fifty to sixty tables. Even with the headquarters and the three subsidiaries combined, the total number of formal employees present barely exceeded three hundred, with the remainder being all "family members".

When the leader offers a toast, how could one dare to refuse

Ling Xiangtao casually took a cigarette and threw it out of the car window. Ivan caught it, but merely held it in his hand, twisting and playing with it, without putting it in his mouth

Aunt Zhang is the chief accountant, and although Xiao Shi's position is not high, she is considered a veteran employee. The fact that they are willing to take Qian Ye along today to join the sycophantic crowd indicates that they are still decent people. Qian Ye, not being foolish enough to miss a good opportunity, immediately raised her full glass of red wine with great enthusiasm and followed them with a stagger.

Little Leaf doesn't have a boyfriend yet, does she? Little Stone smiled and playfully patted his son's bottom twice, handing him over to his father to deal with the annoyance

The lottery draw is the most lively climax of the entire year-end party. Before the draw, talented employees spontaneously take the stage to perform, most of whom are female employees with some charm. Who else could be the representative figure of their company but Elaine?

I want to eat ... ... stinky mother

He inhaled sharply: "Am I considered a stranger?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It is often said that alcohol reveals the truth; does she really see him as so unworthy? Is he being too calculating, or is she simply too cautious?

Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the day after, she will be unemployed, and she will be forced to leave City H. What about that morning? What will happen in the morning? Where will he go? Will he stay in City H, or return to the United Kingdom?

She let out a painful moan, slowly propping herself up, and opened her sore eyes

"Hey, what about that Porsche?" After the excitement, her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she couldn't help but start joking around with laughter

I want to hear you say... you say, you love me...

He came with interest and said with a smile: "Brother has a car"

As soon as she downed the drink, she immediately felt her heart racing and her face burning hot; without needing to look in a mirror, she knew her face resembled that of a monkey's backside.

When Chiba was pushed in front of him by the crowd, he had just lit a cigarette that someone had offered him. As he raised his head with the cigarette in his mouth, he found the girl standing right in front of him.

He returned to the paid parking lot near the hotel to retrieve his car. After opening the car door, he paused for three seconds before closing it again. Then, leaning against the car body, he lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. By the time he finished the cigarette, the sound of an engine was heard at the parking lot entrance, and a silver Audi slowly drove in.

She was in a daze until noon. She went downstairs to prepare to eat at a snack shop near the office building. Just as she came out of the elevator, she received a phone call, and surprisingly, it was Ling Xiangtao.

Chiba took the initiative to kiss him for the first time

Not good

Everyone knows that she is drunk, and no one dared to persuade her to drink more. They only suggested that she eat some food to settle her stomach, to avoid harming her stomach. However, at this moment, Qianye was suffering from a headache so severe that she didn't even want to move, and she had no appetite. She shook her head weakly, using her arm as a pillow to rest her head on the table, continuing to close her eyes and recuperate.

How can wine be considered alcohol

The microphone in the hall continued to resonate, and the male host's impassioned voice conveyed something unknown, resulting in thunderous applause throughout the venue, with some even whistling.

During a transfer, she detoured to a 24-hour pharmacy and, with great reluctance, asked the shopkeeper to buy emergency contraception. One can imagine the efficiency of her work that day; fortunately, her colleagues thought she was preoccupied with concerns about the billing statement, which is why she appeared so distracted.

The sound is right in front of oneself

When clinking glasses, I noticed up close that even the fingers holding the cup were tinted with a layer of pink blush. Unobtrusively, I watched her raise her glass with the crowd, her neck elegantly arching, revealing a patch of crimson on her bare skin

Where do you live

Well, I will go have a meal first, you carry on...

However, your brother's hands are truly quite dark. Ling Xiangtao raised his head and laughed a couple of times, saying, "He is quite the practitioner."

Um... the palm grasped that soft and delicate peak, and Qianye's body involuntarily trembled, her entire skin felt as if it were about to burn to ashes

Therefore, I believe that if Director Yi is wise enough, it would be best for him not to interfere in your brother's affairs any longer. I am not a rogue; I will not secretly find someone to break his arms and legs. Civilized people have civilized ways to resolve issues. Do you really need to manage even this?

Ling Xiangtao's gaze followed the Audi as it moved, and only after the car stopped in the empty parking space beside him did he toss the cigarette butt to the ground, stamp it out with his foot, and cheerfully say, "I knew you would come."

No ... ...

Almost instinctively, he reached out and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, applying slight pressure with his fingertips, extinguishing the glow of the ember deeply.

A twitch at the corner of Chiba's eye, Aunt? Do I really look that old?

In the early morning, he seemed slightly dazed, scratching his head with a confused expression, as if he did not quite understand her meaning. After several seconds, he finally reacted: "So......I know, I know, I will take it slow..."

She has a boyfriend now. Aunt Zhang was extremely disappointed; she had just drafted a list of about ten suitable candidates.

When Chiba was led to the entrance of the hall by the hostess, he looked inside at the bustling crowd and the noise, and it took him a while to find his internal organization amidst the sea of people

Chiba felt a jolt, unsure of how to respond, while the gossip cells of the three female colleagues across from her had already rapidly multiplied, and their family members, feeling bored, were also looking over with keen interest

He... he didn't do much, just a... a worker. She didn't know why, but she felt a bit blocked in her heart. Although she had told herself not to mind the identity and background of the morning, she still... she still couldn't calmly tell outsiders that her boyfriend was unemployed

Chiba originally wanted to indulge in her appetite, but was completely put off by the splattering soup and water around her. Additionally, Aunt Zhang was truly a warm-hearted and gossipy person, making this meal one that left her utterly speechless and choked up

In the early morning, he tucked her blanket neatly and gently stroked her forehead, asking with concern: "Why is your face so hot? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Brittany glanced at the cup and directly blocked Qianye's drink with her hand: "How can you drink juice? Xiaoye, you are being quite disrespectful, aren't you?"

Let's go together

Ah? Then a gentle laughter fell from above, fortunately without a hint of mockery, "Su Qianye, wake up, it's time to feel for the prize"

Turning to the side, two emcees, a man and a woman dressed in vibrant attire, stood on the stage holding microphones, and the resounding opening remarks finally unveiled the curtain of tonight's grand performance

She took off her phone in surprise, as Ling Xiangtao's voice was too loud; why did it not sound like it was coming from the phone?

I love you. Her tension and unease were clearly conveyed through her tightly clasped arms. He held her, tenderly kissing her forehead, the corners of her eyes, and her cheeks

Ling Xiangtao clicked the lighter, the flame flickering on and off, with a cheerful and teasing tone: "What, have you quit smoking?"

Su Qianye

He stared at her intently, suddenly grasped her chin, lowered his head, and kissed her fiercely

However, this was not the end of it. Colleagues from the same department at the neighboring table, colleagues from the same company, or colleagues from different branches but the same department all came over to toast each other. Qianye, being a newcomer, did not dare to refuse to show respect. Although it was not necessary to drink every cup dry, she still had to dip her lips in the red wine to show her intention. After this round, she had consumed at least two cups' worth. Qianye felt her face burning and her heart racing, and despite drinking several sips of chicken soup, she could not suppress the frantic beating of her heart. At that moment, Aunt Zhang rushed back from the neighboring table, and without saying a word, she took the wine bottle and filled the glasses of both her and Xiao Shi. Qianye still had not figured out what was happening when Xiao Shi pulled her and said: "Let's go toast at the main table."

Aunt Zhang noticed that although her complexion was not good, she was articulate and seemed to have sobered up. Thus, she felt relieved and said: "Then be careful on your way, take care."

Murder is against the law Her eyes blinked twice, as if she could hardly hold on, and her eyelids slowly closed

Hmm?

Knowing full well that the other party was engaging in sophistry, Qianye found herself unable to refute it. Amidst the jeers of her colleagues, she silently exchanged the juice for red wine

Ivan

Be good, the banquet has not yet started, you cannot eat now

As the Spring Festival approaches, the headquarters has scheduled the New Year's Eve dinner for Friday evening at 7 PM. Although President Pan jokingly mentioned in the meeting that everyone should bring their families and particularly welcomed unmarried women to join, Qianye did not dare to bring Qingchen openly to the dinner. Firstly, it was her first time attending such a company gathering, and secondly, Qingchen was merely her boyfriend, not yet meeting the standard of being considered family.

She still cannot find peace of mind, her future is uncertain, and she is unable to attain a sense of security. Ivan is her brother; if he were determined to separate them, there would be countless ways to do so. Moreover, the morning is so innocent, and Ivan undoubtedly holds significant weight and status in her heart

Ivan's expression turned serious; he had just been dining nearby with a client when he unexpectedly encountered this young master and Su Qianye laughing and enjoying hot pot at the restaurant. He realized that he had failed to keep things under wraps yesterday. These troublesome matters were all intertwined, enough to drive him crazy. He did not want to get involved, yet he found it impossible to ignore.

... ...

Chiba hurriedly said: "No need, I have a boyfriend, he has something to do today..."

Shall I take you back?

She has nothing to say

Her heart is restless and uneasy, seeking some form of assurance to prove that their being together is the most suitable choice

Haven't I been there? To cross the road, she stands at the corner of the crosswalk waiting for the traffic light to change.

With each congratulatory remark, he expressionlessly raised his glass, the corners of his mouth stiffly curling up, forming a smile that could hardly be called a smile

Qianye had the fortune of witnessing the true form of the big boss, whom she usually only admired through photos on the company website, for the first time. Although she was quite far away, the powerful and succinct speech delivered by the CEO of the headquarters on stage stirred her emotions and temporarily made her set aside her worries, as she excitedly joined the crowd in applause

Indeed, there are too many toasts being made, and the banquet has reached its climax. The hall is filled with clinking glasses and swirling smoke, as men hold cigarettes in one hand and raise their cups in the other, overflowing with pride. The teasing voices urging others to drink rise in volume, akin to haggling in a market, and at the slightest disagreement, it seems they are ready to draw swords for a duel.

Which one? Oh, you mean that one... That car is not mine

This lie is even less sophisticated, and Qianye did not expose him. She is in a very good mood now, and the young master, whom she usually does not quite approve of, now appears to her as a living Bodhisattva who saves the world

She stumbled back to her seat, directly laying her head on the table. After three minutes of recovery, she lifted her head, and her originally rosy complexion suddenly turned pale. Even the most oblivious person could now sense that something was amiss with her

Come on now. She blinked and smiled in a very strange way, "Your car is now no less famous than you are." The company BBS has been flooded with photos, and they are just short of disassembling the parts.

Ling Xiangtao sighed, took out a box of stomach medicine from his pocket and handed it to her, then turned to find a thermos to pour some water. When he turned back again, he found Qianye still holding the medicine box, her posture unchanged, and her expression still dazed.

The small face, no larger than a palm, was flushed as if stained with a shimmering, beautiful hue. The half-closed eyes carried a watery glimmer, and the small mouth was slightly pouted, caught in a difficult position among a crowd of people, tremblingly holding a glass of red wine.

It is me

"No... I'm fine." His eyes were dark and bright, and she gazed at him dreamily, faintly seeing her own reflection in his pupils. "In the early morning..."

The window of the Audi rolled down, revealing a serious face

"It is good that you have been discharged from the hospital; you must take care of your health, as health is the foundation of revolution..." she joked casually

I am here. Do not be afraid

Is she truly drunk or just pretending to be drunk

Do you feel like vomiting

The green light was on, and she hurriedly ran across the road, not paying attention to what was being said on the other end of the phone.

It was as if a spell to break a curse had been cast; the expression in the morning gradually transformed from astonishment to warmth, and the desire in his eyes deepened. If at this moment he still did not understand, still showed no reaction, he could not be considered a man, having wasted twenty-seven years of life and the education he received in England

Ivan had nothing to say; indeed, the methods employed by Ling Xiangtao were quite civilized, so civilized that although he was clearly very angry inside, he found himself utterly powerless to do anything about it

The consequence of a fleeting indulgence is that the next day one can hardly get out of bed, although the morning was considerate enough to help her get dressed, carry her from the bedroom to the living room for breakfast, and even offered to take her to work

Although Chiba repeatedly emphasized that she was not injured, Qingchen still took her to a nearby hospital without further discussion. They underwent a complete set of examinations in the night emergency department, and by the time they returned home, it was nearly dawn

She will lose everything, losing the city she has worked hard for and fought for over the past four years, losing the life she has strived for.

The stalls in the restroom were all occupied, and surprisingly, there was a middle-aged woman by the sink vomiting violently, creating a terrible stench. Qianye did not dare to stay long, swaying unsteadily as she turned to leave. However, just as she stepped out of the restroom, her foot slipped on a puddle of water, causing her to lose her balance and nearly fall. Fortunately, someone caught her from behind just in time

Indeed, I was discharged a long time ago. Do you expect me to stay in the hospital indefinitely, making it my home?

Su Qianye! Do you not look at the vehicles on the road when crossing, and do you still not raise your head to look at the road now

"Chiba, you scared me today." He sighed heavily and leaned down to embrace her

The most senior person at the table is Aunt Zhang, so when she stood up holding her wine glass, everyone at the table politely followed suit, and the lively main event finally began. Xiao Shi's son excitedly jumped up and down, occasionally reaching out to spin the glass turntable on the dining table, turning it 360 degrees to the left and 250 degrees to the right. Xiao Shi and her husband scolded him a couple of times, but the child paid no heed and continued to be as mischievous as ever

Goodbye! She stood up, carrying her bag

"No, no, let's keep things separate." He waved his hand, "This meal is my debt to you. You can thank me, but next time, you treat me."

She laughed foolishly and said, "No way, have you been discharged from the hospital?"

It must be said that Ling Xiangtao's proposal is too tempting. Would Qianye refuse this meal? No, she would not. Not only would she not refuse, but after getting into the car, she was already so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "How could I let you treat me to this meal? Since you are willing to help, I should be the one treating you."

The parking lot is located underground, somewhat desolate and eerie

You have never come to see me, not even a phone call.

See you on Monday

I am very tired, but not sleepy at all, devoid of any desire to sleep

The meal was quite enjoyable. Ling Xiangtao drove his inconspicuous Beijing Hyundai, taking Qianye to an unremarkable hot pot restaurant. Qianye had a penchant for spicy food, and this meal truly suited her taste. The hot pot restaurant was packed at noon, with steam rising all around. She ate until she was sweating profusely, her flushed face radiating an indescribable charm.

There is nothing wrong with being in love; no one can separate them.

You haven't forgotten me, have you

Well

Isn't it you who is looking for me
