Xie Rongzhuo spent a long time in the bathroom.
It was like a movie playing in Shen Mi's mind. Although she couldn't see with her eyes, the 4K ultra-high-definition images in her mind were clear and smooth frame by frame. She kept turning them over and over and couldn't calm down.
With Xie Rongzhuo's physique, he can definitely win the Best Actor award.
He started playing such a big game with her right from the start.
— Did Xie Rongzhuo think she was experienced
Thinking back to Xie Rongzhuo's eyes and expression just now, he was clearly asking her "Am I doing the right thing?"
In addition, he had always misunderstood that she was with Ke Zhan, so Shen Mi felt that this reason was valid.
But when Shen Mi mentioned Ke Zhan in front of Xie Rongzhuo at this time, she felt that she might get out in a rage the next morning.
About half an hour passed.
Or maybe even longer, she heard the sound of the door opening. For some reason, Shen Mi subconsciously adjusted her breathing and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.
She's finished, Shen Mi thought.
Not only has she become a celebrity on the Internet, but she has also become more and more pretentious. What on earth has love brought her
Shen Mi plans to go to Zhang Zhiqing tomorrow to ask if it is always so embarrassing in the early stages of a relationship, or if she is the only one who is so rebellious as to play the mentor-disciple relationship so shamefully.
The space around her collapsed, and Shen Mi mustered up the courage to open her eyes. She couldn't go on like this, she had to be more natural.
Shen Mi took a few breaths, deliberately making loud noises to show that she was awake.
But after a long time, Xie Rongzhuo didn't come to hug her.
Just ignore her after solving the problem?
Xie Rongzhuo wondered why he was like this!
What should I do? She started to lose control and become hypocritical again...
"I'm cold."
Xie Rongzhuo's voice sounded behind him: "I'll hug you later."
His voice was lazy and hoarse after relaxation.
Shen Mi: "It doesn't matter."
Her voice was thin and soft: "I'm not afraid of the cold."
"… "
There was a moment of silence. The breath of the person behind him approached. Xie Rongzhuo raised his hand and pulled her over to hold her in his arms. He was indeed very cold. Shen Mi suspected that he had taken a shower with cold water. Maybe cold water didn't work, so he stayed in the bathroom for so long.
The tip of his nose was pressed against her shoulder, his breath passed over her ear, and the fresh air penetrated into the crook of her neck. Shen Mi's body was tense like a balloon that was about to burst.
"Thank you, Rongzhuo."
Shen Mi licked his lips, his voice dry.
Xie Rongzhuo: “Hmm?”
Shen Mi: "When you are with me, do you feel... uncomfortable?"
Xie Rongzhuo's lips were pressed against her ears, kissing her closely, his voice a little muffled: "No."
How could he not have
Isn't he shy at all
Thinking of this, Shen Mi suddenly had some strange thoughts that are unique to young girls in love.
"Have you talked about it secretly? How come you... seem so experienced just now?" Shen Mi began to settle scores.
Xie Rongzhuo said calmly, "It's an instinctive reaction."
Shen Mi didn't understand: "Instinct, reaction?"
Xie Rongzhuo: "I want to make you feel comfortable, and I will do it based on your reaction."
"… "
Shen Mi slowly pulled up the quilt to cover his face.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you.
Xie Rongzhuo grabbed her hand and held it in his palm.
"Good night."
*
Sleep till dawn.
Shen Mi was standing by the sink putting on makeup. Xie Rongzhuo's house did not have any women's products, and naturally no makeup cabinet. Seeing the bottles and jars on the sink, Xie Rongzhuo called to start ordering furniture.
"No need to waste money. I'll only stay here for a month or two at most." Shen Mi leaned in close to the mirror to put on her lipstick, very satisfied with her complexion today: "The sink is also quite convenient."
Xie Rongzhuo turned around and said expressionlessly, "Are you planning on never telling me this for the rest of your life?"
"Buy, buy, buy, buy." Shen Mi immediately changed her words. She suggested, "Each of us pays half."
Xie Rongzhuo: "No, I'll buy the household items. If I divide it too clearly with my girlfriend, I'll feel like making money is meaningless."
The two stood in front of the mirror. Because of the height difference, Shen Mi looked up while Xie Rongzhuo looked down.
Shen Mi hooked his finger.
Xie Rongzhuo bent down.
Shen Mi stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
It’s not that she wanted to take advantage of him financially, but Xie Rongzhuo looked so handsome when he said this that she couldn’t help herself.
"OK."
Xie Rongzhuo raised his eyes to look at the mirror, rubbed off the lipstick on his face with his fingertips, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Shen Mi helped him pick out a tie of lighter color that matched her skirt. Xie Rongzhuo stared at her and asked, "How is today's schedule arranged?"
Shen Mi helped him straighten his shirt while switching to work mode seamlessly: "There is a meeting at 9am, and Director Bi has an appointment with you at 10:30. You have an appointment with Director Wu for afternoon tea, and the restaurant at 6pm is the one in Hexi. Who are you going to invite for dinner? I will order dishes according to their tastes."
Xie Rongzhuo said: "You."
Shen Mi smiled and hit him lightly: "Be more professional."
Xie Rongzhuo's black eyes were smiling.
Shen Mi used her hands to help him iron out the slight wrinkles on his suit jacket that she had made. She glanced at his gauze-wrapped hands and said, "Also, avoid drinking alcohol and take your medicine on time."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Got it, girlfriend."
"Mr. Zhou is downstairs." Shen Mi glanced at her phone, picked up her bag and walked to the entrance to change her shoes. She was as familiar with the house as the hostess.
Xie Rongzhuo looked at the busy figure of the girl, lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Why are you looking at me? Let's go, boss."
"Um."
*
After returning to work, Shen Mi changed into a regular shirt and pencil skirt. As the weather got warmer, she no longer needed to wear stockings. She took off her coat at the company, revealing a pair of legs so white that they reflected the light, and they were so fresh and beautiful that they looked like a beautiful landscape.
Every time her high heels hit the floor, Ning Xinlei felt like her heart was breaking for her.
The big boss was in a meeting, and the president's office was quiet. Taking advantage of the time to get water, Ning Xinlei leaned over and said, "Shen Mi, do you know that Xiao Chen from the administration department has a crush on you?"
Shen Mi: "Which Xiao Chen?"
"He just had his period not long ago! It's the son of Mr. Gao's cousin." Ning Xinlei admired Shen Mi's figure: "But if I were a man, I wouldn't be able to resist if you look like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen came to show his courtesy.
"Shen Mi, have you had breakfast? I brought beef cheese rolls." He handed over a food bag.
"Ah, no need to thank me." Shen Mi waved his hand: "The boss doesn't like the taste, and I've eaten it before, you can keep it."
Xiao Chen was not giving up: "Have you ordered lunch? I ordered takeout from the private chef, do you want to join us?"
Shen Mi politely declined: "I have to help entertain Director Bi at noon, so I may not have time to go to the cafeteria."
Xiao Chen continued: "Then at night..."
Shen Mi: "I have a date with my boyfriend tonight."
Xiao Chen and Ning Xinlei were stuck at the same time.
A crack appeared on Xiao Chen's expression, and the food bag in his hand swung awkwardly in the air.
Ning Xinlei was excited: "Wow, Shen Mi, you have a boyfriend? Where is he from? He's not from our company, right?"
"Hmm..." Shen Mi pulled out a chair, picked up the documents and walked towards Xie Rongzhuo's office: "Leilei, I'm busy now, let's talk when you're free."
How could the gossip master let her go so easily? "I'll wait for you to finish your work. Contact me on WeChat!"
Shen Mi quickened his pace: "I can't finish my work today!"
After closing the office door, Shen Mi leaned against it, raised his head and let out a breath.
How come a serious relationship becomes like **
Shen Mi straightened his chest.
*
Half an hour later, Xie Rongzhuo came out of the meeting, followed by Zhang Wenzhu and two assistants.
Passing by Shen Mi's workstation, he stopped. The others understood what he meant and walked away to go about their own business.
Looking at the handsome face in front of her, and the pair of pure eyes, Shen Mi couldn't imagine that the man who had buried himself in her body and gently pleased her last night was the same dignified and self-respecting man in front of her.
Her gaze shifted downwards, and she could not imagine that the beautiful, cold, white, and slender hand that was holding the pen to sign was covering her body, kneading and exploring it all night long.
Xie Rongzhuo stared at Shen Mi for a while.
"Why is your face so red?"
Shen Mi suddenly came back to his senses.
Xie Rongzhuo's sudden stop to look at her had already made Shen Mi very uncomfortable, and now he simply stopped at her workstation to chat with her. Shen Mi felt that there were countless eyes in the office secretly observing them.
"Director Bi will be here soon. I'll go make arrangements." She pretended to be calm.
Holding the folder, he walked towards the tea room with a calm expression, took a few steps, turned back to his workstation, put down the folder, picked up the cup of water, and walked away with a stiff back.
She has been particularly shy lately.
Xie Rongzhuo wasn't sure if all girls were like this when they were in love, but he thought Shen Mi was very cute.
He lowered his eyes and smiled silently.
*
Shen Mi held the tea in his hand and knocked on the door with one hand. In addition to Chairman Bi, Bi Jinglin also came.
Today she wore a Chanel suit, short boots, long hair draped over her shoulders, and light makeup, a typical gentle and well-behaved girl outfit.
Compared with Bi Jinglin, Shen Mi's 34D slender waist and a pair of long white legs make her look a bit charming.
Seeing Shen Mi, Bi Jinglin greeted her with a smile.
Shen Mi put down the teacup, nodded, and left quietly, leaving the office for them to discuss work.
After a while, the office door opened and Mr. Bi left after answering the phone.
Bi Jinglin hasn't come out yet.
The phone vibrated several times. It was Ning Xinlei.
Ning Xinlei: Breaking news!!
Ning Xinlei: Chairman Bi is here to help!
Ning Xinlei: I heard that Mr. Bi is dying and will die in three days! The four branches of the Bi family began to fight for the right to speak in the group, and the fight was bloody!
Ning Xinlei: Mr. Bi must have gone all out this time. In order to gain power, he personally sent his daughter to a blind date, without caring about his face at all!
Ning Xinlei: Rich people are more embarrassed, they deserve to be rich!
Matchmaking? Blind date
Shen Mi couldn't sit still anymore.
She stood up and sat back down two seconds later.
no.
Ning Xinlei's gossip was most likely wrong. What about waiting for three more days before dying? Even Hua Tuo could not accurately predict that someone could live for three more days. What if Xie Rongzhuo and Bi Jinglin were just talking about work, and she suddenly barged in? It would be too rude.
—Xie Rongzhuo’s water bottle seems not full, go and get him some water.
After finding a good excuse, Shen Mi pulled out the chair in a serious and businesslike manner.
The door of the CEO's office was not closed tightly. Just as Shen Mi was about to push the door open, he heard the key message: "Rong Zhuo, I really like you."
Bi Jinglin's voice was filled with suppressed crying.
Shen Mi: “…”
Eavesdropping is wrong, but in this situation, interrupting someone's confession seems even more wrong.
Shen Mi stood there, struggling.
No, Xie Rongzhuo is her boyfriend!
When another girl confesses her love to your boyfriend...there's nothing wrong with observing his reaction.
"Can you give me a chance? Maybe you will like me after some time?" Bi Jinglin's tone became very aggrieved: "My dad has gone crazy and I can't do anything about it. If I have to marry someone in my circle, I only want to be with you. I can try to change what's wrong with me. Let's give it a try, okay?"
These words confirmed the reliability of the gossip.
Shen Mi suddenly felt a little sorry for Bi Jinglin.
She is so beautiful, has a good personality and is capable, but she is still forced by her family to marry someone they don't like. If you have to choose a dude from the rich second generation to marry, Xie Rongzhuo is indeed the best choice.
"Sorry," Xie Rongzhuo's voice rang out, "I already have a girlfriend."
Bi Jinglin was obviously confused. After several seconds, he said awkwardly and flusteredly: "I'm sorry, I don't know. I really haven't heard of it. I'm sorry, sorry..."
Shen Mi couldn't bear to listen any further.
After seeing Bi Jinglin off, Xie Rongzhuo turned around and saw Shen Mi sighing with his chin resting on his support and lifeless eyes.
He just heard some slight noises, but he was not sure if it was Shen Mi who came.
Afraid that she might misunderstand, he stepped forward.
"Shen Mi."
Shen Mi seemed to have just come back to his senses and stood up reflexively: "Boss."
"Why are you so distracted today?"
Xie Rongzhuo drooped his eyelashes and looked at her for a moment, then suddenly asked in a low voice: "You were tired after doing that last night?"
A feeling of suffocation came over me.
Shen Mi's face flushed, and he wanted to crawl into the desk drawer.
Could he please not mention this
Xie Rongzhuo was about to explain: "Just now..."
"I don't mind." Shen Mi spoke quickly, wishing he could finish his words quickly so she could leave her workstation.
Xie Rongzhuo's face darkened.
"You don't mind if someone else steals your boyfriend?"
Shen Mi: "No, no. I mind, I mind, but I don't mind Miss Bi, she is not that kind of person."
Xie Rongzhuo looked at her indifferently.
"Do you believe her, or do you not care about me?"
Do I have to say this now
Shen Mi glanced at the colleague passing by, and his face showed "refuse to chat".
Xie Rongzhuo's gaze passed Shen Mi and fell on the bag of beef rolls next to her keyboard.
Shen Mi: “…”
Oops!
"Didn't you have enough this morning?"
Xie Rongzhuo asked.
Shen Mi was vague: "Yeah, I'm not full."
Xie Rongzhuo noticed her evasive look and asked calmly, "Who is the admirer who gave it to you?"
There are many male colleagues pursuing Shen Mi, and some are sent to her by clients from the office building next door. From time to time, her desk is filled with snacks, flowers and the like, so many that she can't even throw them away. The cleaning lady who cleans this floor doesn't even have to buy flowers for her home.
Unexpectedly, Xie Rongzhuo saw it again.
Shen Mi's scalp tingled: "I told him that I have a boyfriend, who knows that he..."
"Come to my office."
"oh."
Shen Mi grabbed his phone and followed in nervously.
As soon as she closed the door, Xie Rongzhuo pulled her over. He strode towards the sofa and Shen Mi was pushed into the corner. Xie Rongzhuo pressed down on her, raised his injured hand, put his elbow against her cheek, and pinched her waist with the other hand, leaving her nowhere to escape.
This was in the office, Shen Mi was so nervous that his palms were hot.
Xie Rongzhuo looked at the girl who was like a frightened bird. Sometimes he even doubted whether she really liked him or was willing to marry him out of gratitude for the money.
When they met for the first time, she ignored him and talked and laughed with her ex-boyfriend.
When they met for the second time, she didn't have a good impression of him, but instead fell in love with him in the game first.
People say that doing business is difficult, but Xie Rongzhuo feels that pursuing Shen Mi is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
He was really helpless. He had tried every possible method in the past four years, but he still couldn't do anything to her.
At the slightest hint, she quickly retreats back into her shell.
I have to be considerate of not hurting her self-esteem, but I dare not be too proactive for fear of scaring her.
I finally have it, even though the person is by my side, I can’t hold his heart.
Xie Rongzhuo sighed and said, forget it.
Anyway, she is already his girlfriend. As long as he marries her, he will find a way to make her fall in love with him.
"Shen Mi, do you like me?"
Xie Rongzhuo suddenly lowered his head and moved closer, his eyes bewitching.
Shen Mi's fingers trembled slightly, and he clenched his sleeves with both hands: "I like it."
But should I say it in this way in the office
Xie Rongzhuo's expression was clearly disbelieving. He pursed his lips and looked at her quietly for a while, then leaned over and whispered softly in her ear: "Did you feel comfortable last night?"
He wouldn't really want to play office play with her! !
Shen Mi turned away in shame, his eyes wandering: "Yeah."
Xie Rongzhuo held the back of her head and forced Shen Mi to look at him: "I will do better in the future."
Apart from the ticking of the office wall clock, there was no other sound in the huge space. The warm light dimly cast on Xie Rongzhuo's neat black suit, creating dots of light and shadow around his glasses frame.
Shen Mi's palms began to sweat.
Xie Rongzhuo lowered his head and touched her lips.
"Believe me." His eyes were filled with emotions, and his tone was coaxing: "No one will treat you better than me."
After saying that, he bit her lips and kissed her quickly and passionately.
Shen Mi soon couldn't stand it anymore, sobbing and slapping him: "Xie Rongzhuo - um... someone will be here soon."
"I'll just tell them." Xie Rongzhuo pressed his lips against hers, his breath hot: "You are mine."
He was so jealous... If she didn't calm him down, she might be doomed when she went back tonight.
Shen Mi explained softly, "He let that person go and left. I thought it was a waste to throw it away, so I transferred the money to him via WeChat and planned to use it for lunch."
She was really surprised that Xie Rongzhuo would get so angry over such a small matter.
The phone rings.
As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Shen Mi quickly picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and suppressed his breathing: "Hello."
Xie Rongzhuo let her go, stood up, restrained his expression, and returned to his usual elegance. He raised his chin and loosened his bow tie.
"Hey~Mi Mi, I'll give you the business card of the decoration company." Zhang Zhiqing was more proactive than Shen Mi herself. She sent her a bunch of reference pictures of small-sized apartments with fine decoration and the boss's business card.
Shen Mi stole a glance at Xie Rongzhuo, and his expression naturally didn't look very good.
"Okay, got it. Let me take a look later."
"Why are you panting so hard?"
Zhang Zhiqing could feel the subtle atmosphere through the phone, but it was working hours and they were in the office, and her uncle was not that kind of man.
She suspected that she was overthinking: "After the renovation, we still need to remove the formaldehyde. It's best not to go back during this period. Do you want to go home to get some clothes or something? I happen to be free, so I can take you there this afternoon."
Shen Mi's breathing was still disordered: "Okay, okay, but... I haven't told him yet."
Thinking of the destructive power of Xie Rongzhuo after he became jealous, coupled with his desire to explore her physical weaknesses after knowing them last night.
Shen Mi was very suspicious of her situation tonight.
She suddenly regretted: "Or, I'd better not move yet."
After saying this, Shen Mi could feel Xie Rongzhuo looking at her.
"no!"
Zhang Zhiqing probably guessed that Shen Mi might have had some trouble with Xie Rongzhuo. Although she didn't know what happened between the two, she was sure to be an assist.
She strongly objected: "I have already informed the decoration company. It is run by Qin Zhimo's friend. I can't let them down. Let's put it this way. I will call you after get off work."
Shen Mi looked at Xie Rongzhuo again. From the moment she said she would not move, it felt like the temperature in this office had dropped by two degrees.
"Well, alright."
"Hey wait a minute."
Zhang Zhiqing suddenly thought of the source of Shen Mi's abnormal behavior and asked, "Did Sister Bi Jinglin come here just now?"
Shen Mi turned around and moved to the floor-to-ceiling window. He plucked the leaves of the green plants with his fingers, not knowing where to put them, and hummed softly.
Zhang Zhiqing: "Did she confess her love to my uncle? Did she say she wanted to marry him?"
Shen Mi thought that she didn't even dare to tell Xie Rongzhuo that she wanted to marry him!
The first time he was proposed to, it was by another girl... and he proposed in front of her!
I didn't think of this just now. Now Shen Mi felt a tightness in his chest and looked out the window unhappily: "Yes."
Xie Rongzhuo raised his head and stared at Shen Mi who suddenly looked awkward in front of the French window.
Not sure if this was her trick, she would act pitiful once she made him angry.
But his emotions were almost immediately affected by her. Seeing that Shen Mi was unhappy, Xie Rongzhuo felt inexplicably restless.
Zhang Zhiqing explained, "She used to come to my house often to visit my grandparents, and she was very nice to me. My grandpa liked her very much, and he was talking about her and my uncle not long ago. But now you are here! The day after tomorrow is grandpa's 80th birthday, you and my uncle will be there. When grandpa knows that you are his real girlfriend, he will stop mentioning other girls."
Xie Rongzhuo’s father’s 80th birthday
Shen Mi didn't know about this yet, and Xie Rongzhuo had never mentioned it to her.
Zhang Zhiqing: "Hey, my boss is here. I'll hang up now. See you tonight!"
Shen Mi looked troubled. He walked up to Xie Rongzhuo, smiled, and raised his hand: "Well, I'll go out first."
Xie Rongzhuo grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
He didn't say he would take her to meet his parents. When she brought it up herself, even if it was unintentional, it seemed like she couldn't wait to marry into a wealthy family.
Shen Mi shook his head and forced out a professional fake smile: "It's okay, I'll go prepare the documents for this afternoon."
She turned around.
"It's my dad's birthday the day after tomorrow, are you free?"
Xie Rongzhuo suddenly asked.
Shen Mi suddenly turned around and met Xie Rongzhuo's gaze. A smile spread across his face and he nodded rapidly, "Yes, yes."
Seeing her bright smile, Xie Rongzhuo's restlessness disappeared completely.
His eyes suddenly softened and he asked softly, "Are you still moving here?"
Shen Mi: "Move, move tonight!"
The author has something to say:
Zhang Zhiqing: My uncle is not that kind of man.
Shen Mi: No! He is!
As long as you don't get jealous, our Uncle Xie is a gentle master~
