Little Sweet Secretary

Chapter 42

Views: NaN

Xie Rongzhuo had an appointment with a partner to discuss work during afternoon tea time. Since Shen Mi had nothing to do, she could leave work early and pack her clothes.

It was inconvenient to pack the luggage while wearing a tight skirt, so Shen Mi walked to the glass door of the balcony, raised her hand to draw the curtains, opened the wardrobe to take out some casual clothes, and sat down to change.

The phone rang and a voice invitation from "dsm" popped up on the screen.

Shen Mi opened the call.

"What do you want me to do? Master, dear."

Xie Rongzhuo's sweet and gentle voice sounded: "Are you home, baby?"

Shen Mi waited for the word "disciple", but after waiting for several seconds, Xie Rongzhuo did not continue.

—Xie Rongzhuo called her baby

Shen Mi was secretly happy, but not too surprised. He pretended to be as expected and said in a natural tone, "Oh, I just arrived."

Xie Rongzhuo: "Call me when you're done and I'll pick you up."

Shen Mi turned on the speaker, put the phone on the pillow, and lowered his head to unbutton his shirt: "You go ahead and do your thing. Qingqing has already asked for leave and is on her way."

Xie Rongzhuo said "hmm", paused, and reminded her: "Don't take off your clothes in front of me."

Shen Mi's mind was tense, and he looked around with bated breath: "You installed surveillance cameras in my house!?"

Xie Rongzhuo laughed: "Is this hard to hear?"

"… "

Can you hear this?

"You, you can't see again!" Shen Mi said this, but subconsciously hugged himself tightly.

"I can't see it." Xie Rongzhuo whispered, his voice a little confusing: "But I will react."

"… "

He didn't hide anything now! He dared to tell her anything! They had done more intimate things before, but Shen Mi still couldn't stand the impact of this topic.

Her ears felt hot: "Hang up!"

Shen Mi held her face in her hands and cooled it. Thinking that she would have to sleep in the same bed with Xie Rongzhuo tonight, her thick skin, which she was proud of, fell apart in front of love! Now even her neck turned red.

Not long after I packed up my things, Zhang Zhiqing came over.

She didn't have any burdens as a young lady. She wore thin high-heeled shoes with diamonds, an Hermès bag on her wrist, and her index finger hooked on the Maserati car key. However, she pulled Shen Mi's suitcase and pushed it into the elevator without caring about her image, as if she couldn't wait to pack her up and send her to Xie Rongzhuo's house.

"Skirt, skirt, be careful not to expose yourself."

Shen Mi stood behind Zhang Zhiqing and helped her pull down her suspender skirt. He only relaxed his guard after the elevator door closed.

"Why are you so suspicious? Did anyone spy on you changing clothes?"

Zhang Zhiqing lay on the suitcase handle, raised her pink face, and said with a playful smile: "You are becoming more and more like my aunt, as conservative as my uncle."

Shen Mi:

How could Xie Rongzhuo be so conservative? !

Eat her up and still ask her if she is comfortable without changing her expression, is this called conservative!

If Xie Rongzhuo is conservative, then she is a caveman.

Shen Mi cleared his throat: "Don't shout like that, we haven't met the parents yet."

Thinking about going to Xie Rongzhuo's house to meet his parents the day after tomorrow, Shen Mi suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Qingqing, is your grandfather easy to get along with?" Shen Mi opened his phone and searched on Baidu for Xie Rongzhuo's father.

Zhang Zhiqing: "It's easy to get along with."

The first search result that popped up was a photo of the old man when he was young.

Seeing the old man's handsome features, Shen Mi looked down at the one lying on the suitcase, and couldn't help but sigh at the power of genes, this whole family is so good-looking.

“My grandpa is very cute.”

Zhang Zhiqing is Mr. Xie’s granddaughter, so of course she thinks her grandfather is adorable. The amazing content on the encyclopedia does not appear in this way.

This is a legendary figure who has made his fortune from scratch. Shen Mi had only seen such a person on TV when he was a child watching Hong Kong dramas. Even a tycoon like Zhong Guangpu had been promoted by him in the past, which shows how high this old man's status in the world is.

Thinking of Xie Rongzhuo's mother who was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Shen Mi suddenly felt that the couple was a perfect match. One was a legend in the business world, and the other was a talented calligrapher from a family of scholars.

Zhang Zhiqing poked her head out: "You want to see photos of my grandfather when he was young? I have, I have, a lot." She opened the photo album on her phone, "Do you want to see photos of my grandmother? My grandmother was very beautiful when she was young! My uncle looks a lot like her."

Shen Mi: "Okay, okay."

Zhang Zhiqing told Shen Mi about her family's history while showing him photos.

"My grandmother was in poor health and unexpectedly became pregnant with my uncle when she was in her forties. My grandfather didn't intend to keep him, but my father stopped him. My father said he was willing to help them raise their younger brothers and sisters."

Shen Mi looked through the old photos one by one. Zhang Zhiqing's family was well-off, and the photos from decades ago were all well preserved and had high pixels.

“Your family is so close.”

"That's because grandma taught me well," said Zhang Zhiqing. "In our compound, many families had bloody fights over the family property. But grandpa was also very devoted to grandma. I often saw him standing in front of grandma's paintings and chatting with her. He would wipe grandma's photo several times a day."

Shen Mi's parents had a bad relationship, so he was both envious and moved by such a relationship.

"very nice."

"My parents loved each other, but unfortunately my dad passed away early. My mom is still single and she loves my dad very much."

Shen Mi had met Zhang Zhiqing's mother, a very beautiful and gentle woman. On Father's Day, two girls in the dormitory who didn't have fathers sympathized with each other and even hugged each other and cried.

"My father and grandmother passed away one after another. My uncle lost his mother first and then his brother. He was sadder than me when my father passed away because I was too young at that time. That was the first time I saw my uncle cry." Zhang Zhiqing smiled foolishly, "I even went back to comfort him."

Shen Mi suddenly felt sorry for Xie Rongzhuo.

His father was old, his mother and brother had passed away, and he became the breadwinner of the family. The pressure must have been great. He studied hard, achieved numerous achievements at a young age, and was regarded as a "genius", probably to reassure his family.

night.

Xie Rongzhuo opened the door and stood in the porch to change his shoes. When he saw Shen Mi's high heels in the shoe cabinet, his eyes softened and he reached out to help her align them.

After closing the shoe cabinet, he stood up, and as soon as he turned around, he was rushed into the arms.

Xie Rongzhuo lowered his head and held the little head in his arms: "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Shen Mi raised her head. Her face was reflected in Xie Rongzhuo's pupils. She stood on tiptoes and moved closer to him: "Kiss."

Xie Rongzhuo obediently lowered his head, held the back of her head, and kissed her on the lips.

He smiled gently, and his low voice was bewitching: "Do you like me to kiss you, or do you like me more?"

Isn't this the same question

Not sure what answer he wanted, Shen Mi looked obedient and kicked the question back to him: "What do you think?"

"I want to hear you say it."

Xie Rongzhuo stared at her closely, as if he cared about her answer very much.

“I like them all.”

Shen Mi observed his expression: "Is it okay?"

Xie Rongzhuo seemed very satisfied with her answer. He curled his lips, his eyes were happy, and his gaze shifted downwards to her shoulder. He raised his hand and hooked the thin black shoulder strap with his index finger: "Showering so early?"

The shoulder straps bounced back, and Shen Mi felt his whole limbs tremble.

She was a little flustered: "Be careful with your hands."

"Help me."

It was obvious that what Xie Rongzhuo told her was not the same thing.

His eyes were direct: "Do you want it?"

"You, you take a shower first!" Shen Mi turned and ran away.

*

It was the same procedure as last night. Xie Rongzhuo went to the bathroom only after Shen Mi felt comfortable.

This time it took longer than last night.

When he came out, he was cold all over. It was too cold, Shen Mi even suspected that Xie Rongzhuo did it on purpose.

But this kind of thing is supposed to be mutual, and she is the only one enjoying it. Shen Mi felt a little guilty and wanted to make a shy invitation to Xie Rongzhuo, but she was afraid that he would suspect that she had ulterior motives towards him, and that she was greedy for his body, and wanted to do this and that with him after only a few days of dating.

What's more, his hand injury hasn't healed yet, and bringing it up at this time seems a bit inconsiderate.

Shen Mi rested his head on Xie Rongzhuo's arm. Xie Rongzhuo had a slim figure, and his arm muscles were strong. They were not particularly exaggerated, but they were particularly powerful, and he felt very safe resting his head on him.

She reached out and put her arms around Xie Rongzhuo's waist, adjusted herself into a comfortable sleeping position, put her ear against his chest, and looked up at the cold and beautiful man who was so close to her.

Xie Rongzhuo has naturally cold eyebrows and eyes, and his slightly upturned eyes are a bit arrogant. He is the kind of man that is hard to approach at first glance.

It was because of this that Shen Mi felt that his arrogance was disconnected from the gentleness of his "master" and did not think of them together.

In fact, Xie Rongzhuo is a person who is only gentle to people around him and is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

This face was so handsome that what he had just done became a taboo. Thinking about it made him feel even more emotional. Shen Mi's fingers were still shaking.

She whispered: "How about we go tomorrow night..."

It’s a bit hard to put into words.

Xie Rongzhuo understood what she meant: "Don't force yourself if you're not ready."

Shen Mi: "But you've worked so hard."

Xie Rongzhuo kissed her forehead: "As long as you feel comfortable."

*

On Mr. Xie's birthday, Shen Mi spent a long time picking out clothes.

She couldn't be too ostentatious, nor too rustic. She couldn't let the old man think she was vain and materialistic, but she couldn't let Xie Rongzhuo lose face either.

After choosing for a long time, I finally wore the first one.

A refreshing light blue sweater, conservative jeans, and comfortable flat shoes.

I heard that old men over 70 years old think all young girls look the same, so there is nothing wrong with the preppy style.

But she has such a great figure, with a slim waist and legs, and long hair that reaches her waist, that she can make simple everyday outfits look pure and sexy.

Shen Mi also bought a plane ticket for Zhang Zhiqing.

Before boarding the plane, she asked quietly, "Will I be suspected of pretending to be young if I dress like this?"

Zhang Zhiqing looked her up and down with a blank expression: "Aren't you young? You're only 23 years old!!"

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Shen Mi understood the ways of the world at a very young age. From the age of thirteen, she felt that she was extremely mature. After graduating from university, she felt that she had understood the true meaning of a hundred-year life and often forgot that she was only in her early twenties.

But Zhang Zhiqing is different. Although she is the same age as Shen Mi, she doesn't look very smart. Her eyes seem to say "I'm easy to fool, come and fool me", and she has a strong physique to attract scum.

Shen Mi thought of what Zhang Zhiqing said a few days ago. She was bored while waiting for the flight, so she asked, "How long has it been since you last saw your boyfriend?"

Zhang Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, as if she was trying to do mental arithmetic, and after a while she answered, "It's been more than a year, what happened?"

Shen Mi: "How often do you make phone calls on average?"

Zhang Zhiqing suddenly felt a little discouraged: "I haven't contacted him for half a month. He's been very busy recently."

Shen Mi: "Half a month???"

Zhang Zhiqing: "What, what happened?"

It is not advisable for best friends to interfere in emotional matters. Girls in love tend to get carried away easily and might lose their best friends due to the trickery of a scumbag, and end up being in trouble for both sides.

In the past, Shen Mi never interfered with Zhang Zhiqing's feelings, but the situation was different now. She was Zhang Zhiqing's aunt! She had to take care of what she should take care of. Even if she was angry and didn't recognize her as a friend, could she still not recognize Xie Rongzhuo as her uncle

Shen Mi frowned: "Summer vacation is coming soon, let him come back."

Her sudden indifference startled Zhang Zhiqing: "...Huh?"

Shen Mi: "What? Let him come back."

Xie Rongzhuo turned his head and glanced at Shen Mi without saying anything, as if he tacitly approved her right to use "family rules".

Zhang Zhiqing looked at Xie Rongzhuo, then at the cold-faced Shen Mi, and said timidly: "Okay, okay, I'll tell him to come back during the summer vacation. But what if he refuses to come back?"

"point."

"point."

Shen Mi and Xie Rongzhuo said in unison.

Zhang Zhiqing: “…”

Shen Mi acted like an elder and advised earnestly: "Why do you want a man you haven't seen for a whole year? Being busy can be an excuse? Look at your uncle, he manages such a big group, and he still has time to have an online romance with me!"

Xie Rongzhuo: “…”

But it is undeniable that even if he has to work overtime very late, he will go online to play games with Shen Mi or play a few rounds of competition.

When I go on a business trip, I will bring my laptop with me and hang out with her.

Shen Mi: "How can someone who really likes you be so busy? He can have an affair during the bathroom break, so how can sending a message be considered busy?"

Xie Rongzhuo: “…”

She is quite experienced.

But it is still undeniable.

The more Shen Mi spoke, the angrier he got: "You've played games and seen so many 818s, so why are you so confused when it comes to you? There are no busy men in this world, only scumbag men who don't want to pay attention to you!"

Xie Rongzhuo coughed lightly.

He was quite sensitive to the word "scumbag", so Shen Mi changed his wording.

"You're a dog man who doesn't love you! If your boyfriend doesn't contact you for more than three days, he's either dead or he definitely doesn't love you!"

Zhang Zhiqing was suddenly enlightened.

Yes, Xie Rongzhuo was so busy every day, but he still had time to play games with Shen Mi and have an online romance with her. Qin Zhimo had to take care of the family business and study for a doctorate, but he always replied to her messages in seconds and showed up immediately when something happened.

So there is no one who is too busy to send messages, he just doesn't want to pay attention to her.

Fearing that Zhang Zhiqing would not be able to accept it all at once, Shen Mi did not continue to speak: "But there are exceptions to everything. Maybe he is really busy, but it is always good to be mentally prepared in advance, right?"

Zhang Zhiqing nodded obediently: "I understand, little aunt."

*

When they arrived in Beijing and entered the compound, Shen Mi and Zhang Zhiqing's expressions immediately switched.

Shen Mi obediently held Zhang Zhiqing's arm and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What should I do? I'm so nervous. This is my first time meeting the parents!"

Zhang Zhiqing raised her chin, patted her head, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shen Mi regretted coming in first.

This Zhang Wenzhu, instead of beating Xie Rongzhuo earlier or later, chose to call her when she first entered the Xie family's gate!

Shen Mi wanted to drag Zhang Wenzhu out and give him a beating.

"Do you have any etiquette for meeting elders in the north?" Shen Mi's palms were sweating: "Do you need to kowtow before entering the door?"

Zhang Zhiqing thought for a moment and said, "It seems that my family doesn't need it."

Shen Mi nodded: "That's good."

"But I'm Grandpa's granddaughter, and you're his daughter-in-law. Should the rules be different?"

"… "

It seems that it is indeed different.

Shen Mi was thinking, when he meets the old man later, should he follow Zhang Zhiqing and call him grandpa, or follow Xie Rongzhuo's generation and call him uncle.

The old man likes quietness, so this birthday celebration was not grand, and he only invited some relatives and friends who often visit him.

The Xie family lives in an old Beijing courtyard. The weather is good today, and the guests are gathered in the yard. Some are playing with their mobile phones and taking pictures of each other, some are basking in the sun and chatting and looking at the flowers and plants, and some are playing cards together. Everyone is relatively quiet.

"grandfather!"

Zhang Zhiqing called out sweetly.

When he saw his granddaughter, the usually serious Mr. Xie smiled and strode over.

"Qingqing is back?"

The old man turned his head and shifted his gaze to the girl next to his granddaughter.

Others also noticed Shen Mi, and they all stopped their entertainment activities and looked over at him.

Shen Mi suddenly became nervous after being the center of attention, and subconsciously followed Zhang Zhiqing and shouted, "Grandpa."

Xie Rongzhuo, who just walked in, said: "..."

The author has something to say:

Xie Rongzhuo: The generations are messed up, just call me dad.

Shen Mi: …
