Luo Qi drank a few sips of water for a minute, and her throat was finally moistened a little more comfortably. Jiang Shenghe still held her in his arms. He especially liked to hug her. Just now, he hugged her on the bed for more than ten minutes. She didn't move, her legs were numb from his pressure.
Luo Qi turned her head to look at him, but could only see his shoulder, "President Jiang, are you going out so late?"
He took his suit and looked like he was going out.
"Go to the yard to smoke a cigarette." Jiang Shenghe bowed his head and kissed her on the cheek, "If you can't sleep in a different place, you can talk to me. I don't close the door of my room. You can go there whenever you want."
Luo Qi said 'hmm', and didn't say when she would go to the master bedroom to sleep, whether it was tonight or tomorrow.
She asked him, "Do you want to drink?" and gave him her glass.
Drinking a glass of water together, I don't know if this counts as comforting him.
Jiang Shenghe held the cup together with her hand, raised his head slightly, and drank the rest of the water.
Luo Qi turned to face him, took off the suit and gave it to him, "It's cold in the yard, come up quickly after you finish smoking."
"good."
After taking off the suit, Luo Qi's arms were cold, and she kept rubbing her arms with her hands, and hurried back to the bedroom.
Turning off the light and lying on the pillow, I always feel that something is missing, and my heart is a little empty.
Thinking about how to get along with Jiang Shenghe tomorrow, thinking about the phrase he said 'I miss you, I'll go to Sucheng', and thinking about sending him a good night message, but in the end I didn't do anything, confused Fell asleep.
Very tired, I fell asleep until 7:30 the next morning.
The last day of the holiday.
Luo Qi thumped her sore thigh, and relaxed for a few minutes before going to wash.
My phone is running out of battery. I came here in a hurry yesterday and forgot to bring the charger.
She shouldn't be going out today, so she chose an ice silk long-sleeved nightdress and put it on. There was a purple patch on her chest, which could barely be hidden, and it was faintly visible when she bent over.
No makeup, just smooth hair.
Before going out, she went to look in the mirror again.
The door of Jiang Shenghe's room was open. He didn't seem to like to close the door. The door of the office was always open, and the door of the study was also open. It turned out that he didn't like to close it even when he was sleeping.
Suddenly, he remembered what he said last night, if the door was not closed, she could go to him at any time.
I don't know if it's a habit of not closing the bedroom door, or because of her.
Luo Qi knocked, but there was no one in the room, and there was the sound of water in the bathroom.
"Mr. Jiang, I came in, but I didn't bring the charger."
Jiang Shenghe just took a shower, and he got up later than usual today, turned off the shower, and said to the outside: "The charger is by the bed, you use it first, and I will find another one for you later."
Luo Qi went straight to the head of the bed. The bed hadn't been made up yet, and the quilt was a bit messy. She sat by the bed, pulled out his mobile phone, and charged her own mobile phone.
I came into his room last night, I was kissed by him at the time, I didn't pay attention to the layout of the room, but I took a good look at it today, just like him, cold and windy.
Jiang Shenghe came out wearing a bathrobe, surprised that she didn't just take the charger and leave, but was willing to sit on his bed. She insisted on sleeping separately last night, and he thought she was upset.
"Did you fall asleep after changing the place?" Jiang Shenghe asked.
"Um."
Slept soundly.
Luo Qi took the mobile phone to play, deliberately not looking at him.
One night passed, and yesterday's intimacy was almost accepted, and she was able to face Jiang Shenghe, although it was not natural.
It's not yet time to turn on the heater. Although I changed into long sleeves, it's not warm enough. Jiang Shenghe bent down and took off her slippers, and easily embraced the princess, hugging her on the bed, letting her lean on the bedside to play with her mobile phone.
He pulled his quilt over her body.
Luo Qi covered his quilt with her bare legs, she was even more charming than last night.
Jiang Shenghe leaned over, propped his hands on both sides of the pillow, and lightly kissed her lips.
Luo Qi put down the phone, he had just shaved his beard, and his chin was clean and fresh, "President Jiang, what are your plans for today?"
"You still call Mr. Jiang at this time?"
"..."
Jiang Shenghe made an agreement with her again: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to call me Mr. Jiang when you are holding you, why can't you remember? If you call me once in the future, you will come and stay for one more day, and there is no upper limit."
Luo Qi is used to addressing him this way. She used to call him by his English name at Yuanwei Capital. Later, when he returned to China, she always called him Mr. Jiang when she met him in the company.
As an assistant for one year, the number of calls to Mr. Jiang every day has to be counted in units of hundreds.
"Your punishment makes it difficult for me to choose."
Jiang Shenghe smiled gently, "Why is it hard to choose?"
"If you don't shout, I don't need to come over more. You will think that I don't want to come. If you shout, you can come over. You are not happy."
"I yelled up to four times that week, and I will live here from now on."
"..."
"Didn't you promise me not to call me before? Before you called me Mr. Jiang, you kept watering you, and you won't let watering on you anymore."
He kissed her forehead, her eyes.
Luo Qi didn't speak, but hugged him.
Jiang Shenghe took her lips and kissed her lightly.
She raised her head, and he leaned over, maintaining an uncomfortable posture.
Jiang Shenghe lifted her up and laid her flat on the bed.
Lying where he had slept, the quilt and pillows were all his, and Luo Qi's heart beat faster.
In the second bedroom last night, she didn't have this throbbing feeling.
It may also be that everything happened too fast at that time, and she didn't have time to feel it slowly.
"How long were you in the yard last night?"
She succeeded in not calling him Mr. Jiang.
Jiang Shenghe thought that her eye sockets were wet last night, maybe it was pain, so he tried to be as gentle as possible today, kissing her and coaxing her, while getting along with her.
After entering completely, he rolled his throat lightly, took a deep breath, and then replied to her: "I went upstairs after smoking half a cigarette."
After the words fell, he kissed her again.
Three times in a few hours, Rocky had a bad throat.
Jiang Shenghe stopped, there was his water glass on the bedside table, he took it.
Luo Qi wanted to say, forget it, drinking water while lying down is not convenient at all, and it would be troublesome if you get up.
"Hold the water glass." Jiang Shenghe gave her the glass. He supported her on the bed with one hand, and supported her back with the other hand to help her up.
Luo Qi hooked his neck with her right hand, opened the water glass with her left hand, and took a few sips.
The bodies of the two have never been separated.
Putting down the cup, Luo Qi approached him and kissed him actively.
Jiang Shenghe hugged her tightly, and she sank into his arms.
The morning light came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the time slipped past half past nine.
Luo Qi waited for a long time and found her nightdress. Her toiletries were still in the second bedroom. When she returned to her room, her hair was covered with sweat and she had to wash it again.
The physical and mental feelings are different from last night.
She didn't eat breakfast, and she only drank a glass of juice after taking a bath.
Before noon, the chef came to make lunch for them.
The phone vibrated and the cousin called her.
Rocky took the phone and went to the terrace.
Luo Yu had fled to her cousin's rented house, and it was safe at last. He Xu didn't know this place, and wanted to come to settle accounts in the future, but there was no door.
"Sister, I'm here for you."
The refrigerator is full of ingredients, enough for her to eat for a few days.
"Sister, why did you buy so many things? Are you sure I want to borrow them?"
I bought so many for Jiang Shenghe, but I didn't expect to decide to move to the villa on the spur of the moment.
"It doesn't count that you have to borrow it, but you will definitely pass."
Luo Yu was sitting on the piano bench, she didn't know how to play the piano, she learned it for a few months when she was a child, it was too difficult, she cried and yelled that she didn't want to go to the piano shop again.
She was looking at the painting on the cover of the violin, planting grass.
"Sister, who did you copy this oil painting from? Send me the online store, and I'd like to ask the owner to copy one too."
Rocky: "..."
It was made by Mr. Yu, so there is no online store.
"It's the painter our boss helped to find. I don't know who it is."
"Your boss is so nice? He also helps employees solve their emotional problems."
Yes.
Solve it yourself.
Luo Yu: "Then ask your boss when it's convenient for you. Where is that shop? It can be considered as bringing income to the artist, and it's not a trouble to your boss."
"...I'll try to ask."
"Okay. I'm not in a hurry. You can ask the boss when he's in a good mood." Luo Yu said something nasty before hanging up the phone.
There is no way to hide it like this, it seems that we have to get to know Luo Yu slowly.
Luo Qi put down her mobile phone and lay down on the terrace overlooking the garden. I want to raise two dogs in the yard. I don't know if Jiang Shenghe likes it or not. If he doesn't like it, he won't keep it.
In a corner of the yard, the equipment used to grow cucumbers was left unused there. The cucumber vines have been disposed of long ago, and they can only be planted again when the weather is warm next spring.
The planting equipment on the balcony of her rental house was planted by her, and it grew well.
Luo Qi thought about what to plant in the idle equipment, which would be fresh.
"Rocky?"
Jiang Shenghe didn't see her when he came out of the study, not even in the second bedroom.
"President Jiang..." Realizing a slip of the tongue, the next voice was inexplicably louder: "I'm on the terrace." Adding to the liking: "Are you looking for me?"
Attempt to muddle through.
Jiang Shenghe walked over with a smile, "I heard you calling Mr. Jiang."
Luo Qi: "...Do you still remember that when I first arrived at the president's office, I had dinner at the tavern?"
"what you want to say?"
"You gave everyone three chances to make mistakes, and now you give me three, okay?"
Jiang Shenghe leaned back on the terrace and never had a bottom line for her: "Okay. The one just now doesn't count. I'll give you three more chances."
Luo Qi was satisfied, and propped her chin to look at the planting equipment in the yard, thinking about what would be suitable for planting.
"Jiang..." She stopped in time.
Jiang Shenghe looked at her with a half-smile, waiting for her to find some excuse.
Jiang Shenghe: "You pass the test."
Ask her: "Where do you want to go in the afternoon? I will drive you there."
Luo Qi thought about what to plant, "I won't go out today, I will grow strawberries at home."
Jiang Shenghe still understood what planting strawberries meant. He raised his hand to unbutton his shirt, and handed her his left hand: "Come here. You are not allowed to call Mr. Jiang, and you will start thinking of ways to vent your anger."
Luo Qi was confused, why was she angry?
Seeing him unbutton two buttons, "Aren't you cold?"
"Aren't you going to grow strawberries out of your own pride?"
"..."
Luo Qi suppressed a smile, guessing that he has never died since he grew up.
She moved in front of him, and after the intimacy in the morning, she was not as awkward as before, raised her foot, and kissed his neck twice.
Jiang Sheng and his Adam's apple rolled, "Is this a relief?"
"En." Luo Qi stood up straight from his arms, looking at the garden as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Shenghe didn't expect to vent his anger like this, "I will allow you to make a few more mistakes."
"..." This is the right hit by mistake, and it didn't take much effort to get it.
Regarding real strawberries, we have to choose another time to plant them.
After lunch, the two went downstairs.
The chef finished cooking and left, and there were only the two of them in the restaurant.
Luo Qi was thinking about what to do in the afternoon, and working overtime with him was no different from getting along with his assistant and boss. He wanted to know about his past few years, but he didn't want to mention it.
"I'll play a game with you in the afternoon. The winner will ask for any conditions. The loser will have to cook breakfast for another month in addition to meeting the winner's condition."
Jiang Shenghe asked: "What game? Competitive games? I rarely play."
"No. We exchange items related to each other."
Just to get to know him.
Jiang Shenghe said: "Then you will definitely lose."
Luo Qi exasperated: "It's hard to say."
Jiang Shenghe knew what she was thinking, so he still played this game with her.
The first meal after living together, because of the topic of competition, there was not much embarrassment at the table.
After eating, each went to sort out the items related to each other.
Luo Qi prepared a handbag, not many things, it took up a lot of space. To prevent him from guessing what it was in advance, she put on two bags and tied them with ribbons.
On the terrace, Jiang Shenghe made two cups of coffee. His things were simple, so he packed a few things in a box and carried them to the terrace.
Luo Qi came over smelling the aroma of coffee, saw the largest suitcase standing beside the leisure table, and then looked at the medium-sized handbag in her hand. First of all, she lost in momentum.
She carried the suitcase, but fortunately, it wasn't too heavy.
"You are scary."
"It's not such a precious thing. It's special to me, but not necessarily to you." Jiang Shenghe pulled the chair for her, "What's the exchange rule?"
Luo Qi sat down, put the handbag by her feet, and put the bag on her lap, "Don't you like to play cards? Let's play cards, show the smallest card first, and Wang Zha will definitely show it last."
She had few items related to him, so she took out what she could make up.
"I'll show you first."
She took out a piece of paper from her bag, and the creases were worn out after a long time.
"This has nothing to do with feelings. I was not your assistant at the time."
She unfolded the piece of paper, and faced him with the stick figure.
'Death stare from the boss'
Jiang Shenghe smiled, "I can press your card with an electronic version, can I?"
"Can."
Jiang Shenghe clicked on the album "Precious Video Data", zoomed in on the stick figure, and put the phone in front of her, "This is an upgraded version."
Seeing the glossy black lenses painted on the stick figure, she wished to blur his eyes, Luo Qi froze for a moment, isn't this her masterpiece?
"How could you!"
After reacting, he covered his forehead in embarrassment and laughed.
Jiang Shenghe took the phone over, "Unfortunately, when I checked your profile that day, I found it."
Luo Qi picked up the coffee at hand, but before she put it to her mouth, Jiang Shenghe stretched out her long arms and stopped her, "Wait a minute, it's too hot."
Rocky: "..."
It turned out that she had died with him a long time ago.
The second round of cards.
Jiang Shenghe started first. He took out an invoice from his wallet, the amount was 196. At noon on the day of the meeting, he and her had a working meal out for the first time, and it was also the first meal he invited her to.
Rocky remembers deeply that it was the first time they ate at that restaurant, and he asked her to order the third soup.
Jiang Shenghe took back the invoice, put it in his wallet, and asked her, "What are you offering this round?"
Rocky said, "Me too."
She took out her wallet from her bag and took out an invoice from the same hotel, amounting to 199.
This was the last time they had a working meal in that restaurant so far. At that time, she didn't order the third soup and changed to another one.
Jiang Shenghe took the invoice and looked at it, "Why didn't you get reimbursed?"
"Because I had decided to go to Ruipu at that time, I wanted to treat you to a meal and thank you for your care. It was not appropriate to invite you alone, so I found a chance to have a working meal."
At that time, he was already a little different in her heart.
She said that if she didn't get transferred, she would also have a crush on him after spending another year or so together, which is not a good word to say.
"Give this to me." Jiang Shenghe also put this invoice in his wallet, together with the one just now, "This round, you win."
Luo Qi: "If you don't win, it's a tie."
Not as relaxed as it was in the first round, they don't look at each other the same way anymore.
Luo Qi still couldn't resist his gaze, and pretended to lower her head to pick up something, "It's time for me to go."
The third round of cards.
Luo Qi took out half a piece of paper, a section cut out from the project plan.
On the wedding day, he wrote her a blessing, wishing her a happy new marriage and happiness forever.
She still kept the little piece of paper that he wrote casually. Jiang Shenghe reached out to take it over, but Luo Qi's movement was not as fast as Luo Qi's, so she held it down.
"I don't give this to you, I keep it for myself."
Luo Qi signaled him: "You go out."
Jiang Shenghe laid the suitcase flat and opened it, "Your piece of paper was cut from the project plan of Yuanwei Group. I have the project plan of Yuanwei Capital here."
He gave her a thick stack of bound materials, "Return to the original owner."
It was seven years ago when she was an intern at Yuanwei Capital. The paper version was also left in his office at that time. I didn't expect him to keep it intact.
Luo Qi opened it, and there were dense notes and revisions on the side, all in his handwriting.
"You came back from abroad, you have so many things." But you still want to bring this back.
Jiang Shenghe said: "There are not many things."
There were too few things related to her at that time, and too little he could recall.
Luo Qi flipped through a few more pages, "You win this round."
"Let's make it a tie." Jiang Shenghe took out the item to be displayed in the fourth round, a black long-handled umbrella, "The one from the Sucheng Hotel."
It turned out that such a big box was for this umbrella, Luo Qi was surprised: "Did you buy it?"
"Well. That painting means something different to me, and so does this umbrella."
This umbrella is too ordinary, it was bought wholesale by the hotel, and it was placed in a row in the lobby for guests to borrow for free. He was worried that it would be mixed up with other umbrellas, so he specially asked someone to mark the umbrella handle.
Jiang Shenghe was curious: "What's in your handbag?"
Rocky untied the ribbon and took out the home clothes she bought for him last night.
Originally, she wanted to wait until she got to know her better before sending them off, but the matter of the couple came too suddenly, at least many days earlier than she expected.
"For you, it's an ordinary brand, don't dislike it."
She added: "My set is for couples."
It is rare to see such things as mood from his face, today he is not hiding it, the surprise and satisfaction are all in the corners of his eyes, brows, and corners of his lips.
There was a slight curvature at the corner of his mouth, and Luo Qi could imagine how happy he was.
Jiang Shenghe got up, took home clothes, crossed the table, and hugged her with one hand: "Thank you. Last night, I thought you were upset."
"No. I just didn't get used to it." Luo Qi realized later: "You went to smoke in the yard last night, because you were worried that I would be unhappy?"
"Not at all."
Jiang Shenghe sat back, turned his clothes over and looked again.
"I still have the last one, which is considered a little king to me." Luo Qi asked him: "What about you, do you have any more?"
"There is one more." Jiang Shenghe put his home clothes aside, opened his wallet again, and took out a movie ticket, a ticket from seven years ago, when they were both abroad.
"Watched a movie with you."
This is one of the few memories.
Luo Qi looked at the information on the ticket. They had watched this family healing movie once on the beach in Haicheng. The first time they watched it was indeed in a foreign theater. It turned out that he had watched it with her seven years ago.
"At that time, I hadn't gone to Yuanwei Capital for an internship. The first time you saw me was in a movie theater?"
"Um."
Luo Qi has seen too many movies in theaters, and she doesn't remember how many rows she sat in when watching this movie, and asked him, "You sat behind me?"
Jiang Shenghe put away the movie ticket and said, "Sit next to you."
Rocky: "..."
"What's your last item?" Jiang Shenghe changed the subject.
"It's not the real thing. It's a gift for you to receive your certificate."
Jiang Shenghe looked at her, "You forgot? It has already been delivered."
"That doesn't count."
Calling him husband is really not a gift.
Luo Qi first asked him if he had seen the wedding photos of Qin Moling and Jian Hang.
"I've seen it. Didn't it air at their wedding? It was well filmed."
Luo Qi knew that he was envious, and said to him: "When the bonus for the third quarter is paid out, let's take a set of wedding photos, which are more expensive. I will pay and give you a gift."
For seven years, she had too many regrets that she couldn't make up for. In the future, she will have many surprises for him.
