Ignore him for a while! Don't be soft-hearted!
Xieyi made up her mind to take a shower. When she was running the water, she seemed to hear him enter the room and close the door. She secretly decided in her heart that she must put on a face of a woman in the boudoir to show him how powerful she was. She took a shower and came out of the bathroom and went straight back to the bedroom, but she couldn't help but glance at Li Zeliang. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room with the back of his head facing her, so she couldn't see what he was doing there.
Anyway, he didn't take the initiative to talk to her after he came back. Xieyi turned off the lights in the living room angrily, leaving him alone in the dark, and then climbed onto the bed and covered his head to sleep. After three or four minutes, the man outside still didn't move, neither getting up to turn on the lights nor moving around.
Being frozen? Xie Yi wondered.
She got up suspiciously and stuck her head out, only to see him still sitting in the dark, motionless. She moved her steps, but accidentally kicked the leg of the chair next to her. Because she was barefoot, she hit her toes directly.
It still hurts like hell.
He suddenly said, "Where did you bump into something? Come here and let me take a look." His voice sounded tired, lazy and low.
She ignored him, endured the pain and pretended that she came out to drink water.
"Freehand painting." he called.
She continued to ignore him and headed towards the kitchen.
"Xieyi, I feel dizzy." he said.
As soon as this sentence was uttered, it worked immediately.
She paused, stopped, turned around quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Zeliang raised the corner of his lips and said jokingly: "Aren't you going to ignore me?"
Although Xieyi couldn't see his expression in the dark, he could imagine how arrogant he looked when he said this.
He actually pretended to be dizzy to cheat.
"Bah!" Xieyi was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Come here, let me hold you." He continued shamelessly.
"No way! You smell of cigarettes or alcohol, you stink so bad it's disgusting to even touch you." She stood there confronting him.
He was not angry at all, but instead laughed deeply.
"Humph!" she protested.
"Pour me a glass of water." He said with a smile.
"You wish."
"Xie Yi," he called her softly, "My throat is burning."
He called her so submissively, it seemed that he was not pretending. She was really worried, so she obediently poured a glass of water and walked over to him. When she handed it to him, she felt his hand was terribly hot, and she was shocked.
"What's wrong?" She squatted down hurriedly and touched his head. It seemed that he had a high fever.
It turns out I was really dizzy.
"I drank too much and feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a good sleep." He smiled at her.
Seeing him smiling like that, Xieyi guessed that he was almost drunk, otherwise he would not be so stupid at ordinary times.
"You clearly have a cold, but you still go drinking with others. Are you trying to kill yourself? You can't even tell the difference between being drunk and having a fever?" She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and then went to find antipyretic and cold medicine for him.
When he drinks, his face turns greener and greener. You can't tell if he's drunk or not. But once he crosses the line, his whole body becomes scalding hot. But it's definitely not the kind of scalding that's happening now. After feeding him the medicine, Xieyi helped him to the bed, then filled some hot water and used a towel to wipe his body.
He was lying on the bed.
Xieyi unbuttoned his shirt one by one, revealing his chest. His skin was strange, even though he was drunk and had a fever, it didn't turn red. Instead, it started to turn a light pink when the hot towel touched it. Although he had hugged and touched him many times, Xieyi actually felt a little embarrassed to wipe that strong chest bit by bit.
He half-closed his eyes to look at her and asked, "Why are you blushing?"
This man's IQ seems to drop when he's drunk, and he speaks very directly.
"If the fever doesn't go down in a while, we'll go to the emergency room," she said.
"Not going to the hospital."
"Why not?"
"I get annoyed by the sight of hospitals," he said.
"Then why did you go to the hospital every day when I was in the hospital?"
"That's different."
"Why is it different?" Xieyi changed the basin of water and wiped his hands and face.
"Those needles are for you, not for me," he said lazily.
Xieyi glared at him fiercely; it seemed that he was not yet drunk.
She made him some honey water and placed it beside his bed in case he got thirsty at night. It was already early morning when everything was done, and Xieyi finally got into bed to rest.
I thought he had fallen asleep, so I gently used the back of my hand to feel the temperature of his forehead to see if he still had a fever, but he grabbed my hand.
"Xie Yi." He called her with his eyes closed.
"What?"
"Thanks."
"Well, just be gentler to me next time," she said generously.
"I'm talking about Zhengyuan's matter."
Xie Yi was stunned. It turned out that he already knew. No wonder he was being upset whether it was the text message or sitting there quietly after returning. But, somehow, he figured it out.
Xie Yi smiled and said, "You're welcome."
The loan issue seemed to have been settled and it went quite smoothly.
On this day, Xieyi accidentally saw a bold news item in the provincial newspaper subscribed by the office.
"The final plan for the new AB intercity expressway will be determined this month."
Zhou Pingxin sighed and said, "This is great! After it's repaired, you will save a lot of time when you go home."
Xieyi answered: “Yes, the old highway had some detours and the road conditions were bad.”
The Li family on the other side of City A received the news as soon as possible yesterday.
The first thing Li Zeliang did when he got to work was to find Xue Qigui and ask, "Did you get the route map for the intercity highway?"
"It may take another hour or two. They haven't started working yet. We have already contacted Dongzheng."
Li Zeliang nodded, "We must get accurate information before the media knows about it."
At noon, Xieyi suddenly received a call from Li Zeliang, saying that he was going to City B on a business trip.
"Should I bring you anything?" he asked.
"Mung bean crisps from Changshun Street." Xieyi answered without hesitation. This is her favorite.
"good."
"When are you coming back?"
"Maybe tomorrow," he said.
"Um."
"Lock the door at night, don't open it if a stranger comes, and remember to brush your teeth before going to bed." He began to nag and correct her daily habits again.
"Okay, okay, got it." Apart from her, probably no one knew that this man was so nagging.
City A began to enter the drizzling autumn rain season.
Li Zeliang broke his promise and he didn't come back for several days in a row.
But every time I talk to him on the phone, he always says, "It's okay, just a lot of trivial matters."
That day, Xieyi was at work when she received another call from Li Zeliang.
"Xieyi, come out for a moment." he said.
"Ah, what for?"
"I'm outside Don Joe."
"Ah?" Xie Yi was stunned. It was impossible. He was clearly in City B.
"If you don't come out, I'll go in and find you openly." He threatened her.
"Are you really back?" she confirmed again.
"Hurry up." He was losing his patience.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
While she was talking on the phone, she walked to the elevator entrance and looked out. However, she hesitated for a few steps before she was suddenly grabbed by a hand. The owner of the hand quickly pulled her into the small toilet cubicle next to her, and then locked the door with a clang. This series of actions was completed in one go, in just a moment, completely catching her off guard.
When Xieyi reacted, he was so scared that he wanted to scream, but someone covered his mouth.
"Shh!"
Xieyi looked carefully and found that it was Li Zeliang.
"What are you doing?" Before Xieyi could even utter the word "?", he sealed her mouth.
He supported her head with one hand and her waist with the other, holding her tightly against the door. His movements were neat and skillful, and he first licked and sucked her dry lips, and then moved his tongue into her mouth after it became moist, exploring and moving between her lips and teeth without stopping.
Such a passionate pursuit of a French kiss made her a little short of breath, her chest heaving, but she didn't know how to get rid of his demands. Her head began to feel dizzy due to lack of oxygen. She put her hands on his chest and tried to push him away, but her whole body was soft and weak, so she had to let him do whatever he wanted.
"Freehand." He called in a hoarse voice.
While he was talking, she found her breathing point, gasping for breath but unable to speak, so she could only nod to indicate that she heard him.
He said, "I miss you, very much." His words were filled with overwhelming emotion, and then he pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on top of her head.
"Why did you drag me here?"
"Do you want me to kiss you in the hallway?"
Xieyi raised his head and glanced at him, and sure enough, his face was full of an expression that said "I'm very anxious".
"We actually kissed in the bathroom." She smiled with a flushed face.
Li Zeliang added: "And it's the men's restroom."
Xie Yi's eyes widened, "Men's restroom?"
"Otherwise, would you have thought it was the women's restroom?" he said with a smirk.
"I… "
"You're a regular here too," he teased her.
"… "
After not seeing him for a few days, she suddenly felt that he had lost a lot of weight. She touched his thin cheeks and brows with some pity.
"Are you done with things over there?"
"No, I smoked for a few hours and ran away halfway through."
"escaped?"
"Xie Yi," he once again held her in his arms, "Xie Yi," he called again.
"Um?"
"I miss you, really, really miss you." He repeated the sentence again, like a child.
"When did you miss me?" Xie Yi asked deliberately, looking up.
He answered obediently: "I think about it when I eat, when I sleep, and even when I talk to them."
She was moved by what she heard, and she stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss him. Just a light peck, he let out a hum, opened his lips, and their hot and wet tongues entangled with each other, warm and soft. While he sucked her, his arms gradually increased the strength, as if to melt her into his chest.
After a moment of selfless passion, he reluctantly left her lips and murmured her name: "Xie Yi, Xie Yi, my Xie Yi."
"Hmm." She especially liked the way he muttered those two words in such a deep voice, so she responded warmly.
"Marry me," he said.
She was still immersed in her previous emotion, and was about to answer casually, but suddenly stopped, raised her head and asked: "What did you say?"
"I said, marry me."
Xieyi wiped a sweat off his face, he almost fell into this man's trap, luckily he didn't agree blindly, he just loved to cast spells at times like this.
"I do not want it."
"What?" His whole body stiffened, and his arms around her loosened somewhat weakly.
"Are you sure this is a proposal?"
"I guess so." His heart sank.
"Don't you think proposing in a place like this is a little..." She pointed to the toilet behind him, "a little indecent?"
When coming out, Li Zeliang stuck his head out first, and seeing that there was no one around, he coughed to inform Xieyi to come out. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Zhou Pingxin coming out from the opposite side.
The first person Zhou Pingxin saw was naturally Li Zeliang who came out of the men's restroom. However, she then saw Shen Xieyi following him stealthily from behind.
"You..." Zhou Pingxin opened her mouth wide, pointed at Xieyi, and then at Li Zeliang.
"He said the hand-washing faucet was broken, so I went in to take a look." Xieyi explained calmly.
"Oh." Zhou Pingxin scratched his head, unable to tell what was wrong.
The two people walked out of Tang Qiao happily.
"Luckily I met Ping Xin, otherwise it would be terrible." Xie Yi stuck out his tongue.
"Actually..." He glanced at her, hesitating whether to tell her.
"Actually what?" she asked, tilting her head.
"Is there anyone else called Xie Yi on your floor?"
"No more, why?"
"If there were other people hiding in the bathroom, you would be in a worse situation."
"… "
really.
When the man kissed her, he kept repeating the word "Xie Yi" over and over again. If there were other people in the other compartments, hearing the noise, it would not be difficult to imagine what Shen Xie Yi was doing with someone inside with the door closed...
If that were really the case, we would be too ashamed to face anyone. It would be so cruel.
She skipped work and went home with him.
He left when it was almost dark. Before that, he had been sticking to her and was reluctant to leave. After Ji Yingsong called three times to urge him, he went out.
As he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, "Xie Yi, what I said is true."
"What?" she asked, tilting her head.
He didn't answer her, but put the things in his pocket on the shoe cabinet and closed the door. Xieyi stared blankly at the light green jewelry box he left behind, and when she opened it, she saw a six-claw diamond ring inside.
He said that what he said was true.
He wanted her to marry him.
However, he left in a hurry without hearing the answer. Was he really too busy to listen, or did he not dare to listen? That night, Li Zeliang did not call her to say goodnight as usual. She did not get through to him on his cell phone. Xieyi did not know why she could not sleep well.
I squeezed out of the subway in the morning and walked to Tangqiao at exactly nine o'clock. However, I saw that everyone had not started working and were gathered together watching news videos on the computer.
"Do you know?" Wu Weiming asked her nervously.
"Know what?" She was a little puzzled.
"Then come and take a look." Wu Weiming said as he showed her the news that had just been broadcast.
It was still about the new AB intercity expressway, but those few words in it seemed like a repetition to Li.
"When our highway passes through Lantian Mountain, should we take a detour or build a tunnel?" the reporter asked.
"After detailed discussion and evaluation by experts, a three-kilometer tunnel will be drilled," replied the chief designer.
“When designing this three-kilometer-long tunnel, did you consider the rock layers and underground rivers?”
“We have fully taken this into account in our planning.”
"How do we solve the ventilation problem for such a long tunnel?"
"We incorporated four underground vents into the design, but in the final soil scan, we found that perhaps the tunnel's vents or even the tunnel itself would damage the underground springs of Lam Tin Bay Hot Springs."
"So you mean that the natural hot springs in Lantian Bay will dry up?"
"I'm afraid so."
Seeing this, Xieyi opened his mouth wide and looked at Wu Weiming.
"Will the route be changed for this?" the reporter asked again.
"The chance of changing the route is not high. After all, this is a first-class government project." The man smiled helplessly.
Xie Yi sat down slowly on the chair in front of the computer, his mind a little confused for a moment.
"Where is Li Zeliang?" Wu Weiming asked.
"I've been in City B for several days."
"he knows?"
"I don't know..." Xie Yi added, "I mean I don't know if he knows." Her thoughts were in a mess.
Wu Weiming supported the idea, "Without the hot springs, once this news comes out, I guess Lantian Bay will probably stop construction, otherwise not a single unit will be sold."
Xieyi was confused for a moment. His first thought was to call Li Zeliang, but he dialed the number, took a look at it, and then deleted it.
Yang Wangjie learned the news later than Xieyi and the others. One of his colleagues bought Li's stocks, and it seemed that the stock price fell sharply as soon as it opened in the afternoon, so he kept calling out, and Yang Wangjie leaned over to take a look.
"Li's stock price has fallen badly." The colleague shook his head.
"It's just an adjustment. Big companies won't go too far," said Yang Wangjie.
"Brother Yang, you don't know that Li's Lantian Bay has suffered a setback."
"how?"
A colleague told Yang Wangjie about the incident in Lantian Bay reported on the news. Yang Wangjie was stunned and hurried to find Yin Xiao.
Yin Xiao was also at a loss, "It's a bit tricky. If something goes wrong with the Li Group, innocent people will be affected." Privately, he and Yang Wangjie took over one of the small projects of Nancheng Guanlanyuan from the Li Group, and they were also one of the contractors of the Li Group.
"Let's wait and see." Yang Wangjie said.
After all, Li's is a big company, it can't just disappear. Although such a large investment was made so blindly. He knew that Li Zeliang was a man of his word in Li's company. Although he seemed to be cheerful and friendly on the surface, his personality was that he would never allow anyone to go against him.
"I'll ask someone to go to City B to inquire." Yin Xiao said.
"Okay, let's prepare for a rainy day and make some preparations here as well." In case we don't get paid for the project when the time comes.
When Yang Wangjie left, Yin Xiao asked, "The Shen Xieyi you asked me to check last time, is that the lady you brought with you when I got married?"
"yes."
"You are eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? If I feel wronged in the slightest, I will make you suffer!" Yin Xiao said to him half-jokingly and half-seriously.
