I didn't want to think about it anymore, and I didn't ask him why. I found that he was like a spring breeze in front of anyone but me.
He did not prepare a gift, but instead sent a red packet to all the old people and children in my hometown; he treated everyone with courtesy, his every word and deed completely substituting himself for my fiancé … Yet, I, who should have felt blissful, felt that all of this was inconceivable.
He actually booked a plane ticket, and we arrived at the airport early.
When he said goodbye to his cousin, he immediately handed me the big box filled with local specialties from my hometown. "I'll carry these weird things. You come and get them."
"I'm a patient and I can't lift it. "Besides, don't answer it if you don't want to." I wrapped myself in my down jacket and said with a smile.
"It's hard to refuse a generous favor. Not accepting it hurts others' heart." Sheng Yun frowned as he looked at this old and useless suitcase in front of him. He let out a dejected sigh and then dragged it inside.
Although his cousin gave him the best luggage, it still didn't fit Sheng Yun's taste at all. I don't know why he accepted it. Logically speaking, a man who put his dignity above everything should have refused at the time.
"Can you walk faster?" He had walked a long way without realizing it, and I was still musing slowly behind him. He stopped and turned to me with an impatient shout.
"I'm a patient." I strolled up to him and said casually.
He looked at me helplessly, then suddenly held out his hand to me. "Let's go. I'll pull you."
"No need." I coldly refused.
"Xu Shubei, don't be stubborn with me. It's been too long since your skin has itched, right?" he whispered in my ear. I didn't even dare to imagine that this fellow could actually start a trashy talk in front of so many people.
I was silenced by his bluff, and he walked on with his suitcase in one hand and me in the other.
After completing the security procedures, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had finally gotten rid of some monster.
"It's just a box. Do you need it?" Seeing him like this, he could not help but exclaim.
"If any of my peers were to see it, my glorious name would be destroyed." He shook the fur coat off his body and swiftly put his hands in his pockets, instantly regaining his arrogant appearance.
He led the way to the security door, and since he had the tickets, I followed him obediently. We passed the security check in silence, then finally sat down to wait for the flight.
As soon as he sat down, he took his cell phone and began to call non-stop to do business. I coughed violently for a while, then tightened my cotton jacket around me. Despite the heat in the VIP room, I was weak and still felt chilled.
"Come here." He finally put the phone down and crooked his finger at me.
I didn't understand. Instead, I shifted my butt a bit further away from him.
His face went dark again, and he leaned over me and took me in his arms, holding me in his arms in front of the crowd of passengers at the airport.
When my mind was completely blank, he suddenly lowered his head and asked me in an exceptionally gentle tone, "Is it still cold?"
I was stunned. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. To be exact, I had no idea what to say.
I began to feel his warmth, but as soon as he held me, a thin sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"You're sweating." I whispered.
"Yes." He harrumphed and raised his head to look in front of him. It seemed that he didn't intend to talk to me at all.
"Let me down. There are so many people watching. I'm very embarrassed." I said again.
"Shut up!" He was still looking straight ahead, but his tone was enigmatic and resolute.
I watched the beads of sweat on his head grow larger and larger, but he still refused to let go of me, so I settled into his arms and quickly fell asleep again.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly shook me and said, "Hey, get on the plane and sleep. We're about to board the plane."
"Oh." I quickly got up from his body, and realized that he had taken off his coat and put it aside.
I stood up, and he stood up, grabbed his briefcase with his clothes, and pulled me toward the gate.
I let him take me by the hand and we got on the plane.
After the plane took off, I quickly fell asleep on his shoulder and didn't wake up until the plane hit the ground.
"My shoulders are numb." He gave me an angry look, then shrugged his shoulders.
"You can push me away." I know that he is pitying me, but I still said this ungratefully.
"Time to lose weight!" He gave me a supercilious look, as if he couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with me.
As soon as the plane came to a halt, he stood up and walked outside without looking back.
I was so used to his hot and cold personality that I followed him, and we walked back and forth along the exit. From time to time he would glance back at me, but instead of waiting for me, he would just walk on.
An assistant and a driver came to pick him up at the exit. He handed the big box to the driver, and when I came closer, he said to me, "I'll have the driver take you to the hospital first. I've already called the doctor. I won't go with you. I still have a lot of things that I need to take care of. "
"Director Sheng, the board elders have been looking for you for the past few days. I don't even dare to tell them where you went. Hurry back to the company. If you don't, you won't be able to control the situation …" His assistant said.
He rolled his eyes at his assistant. "I know! Cut the crap! Get in the car! "
The words of his assistant shocked me greatly, and when I got into the car, I took a furtive look at his office.
He was staring coldly at the computer as he processed the mail, frowning from time to time, absorbed in my presence.
The driver took me to the hospital at his request. He asked his assistant to accompany me to the hospital while he rushed to the company.
During my visit, his assistant told me that Sheng Yun had arranged for her to book a plane ticket the day she received my cousin's call, and then she rushed to my hometown overnight. Originally, he was going to hold the annual meeting of the Board of Directors the next day, but my sudden absence caused the displeasure of the Board Elders.
I never thought that someone like Sheng Yun, who has his heart set on work, would give up such an urgent matter and travel thousands of miles for me.
What is he to me? Could it really be … Like it?
When I thought of this, I quickly shook my head. No, Xu Shubei, wake up, how could he like you? Do you have any women around him? And you, what do you have?
I shook my head as hard as I could, thinking that I had a fever and was confused about what I was thinking.
After the examination, the doctor asked me to stay in the hospital to observe, but I didn't agree. So the doctor gave me a bunch of medicine and I came home with a bunch of medicine and luggage.
Just as I pushed open the door to the house, I smelled a strong perfume, followed by the high-pitched Mandarin of a woman: "How can such a house be inhabited? You live in a place like this and you lie to your aunt about living in a nice apartment? I treat you like my precious baby and you're lying to me? "
"Alice, this place is pretty good. It's convenient for traffic. It's very convenient …" Xia Yiwa whispered in English.
At that moment, I walked in with my luggage. When Xia Yiwa saw me go home, she quickly stood up and smiled at me, saying, "Shubei, you're back! This is my aunt Alice! "
"Hello, Alice." I put down my suitcase and smiled at her aunt Alice.
Alice was also tall like Xia Yiwa. She had a slim figure, three-dimensional facial features, sharp makeup, and thick lips. She was wearing the latest Valentine's suit which accentuated her slim figure. However, her face was full of hostility.
I've heard Xia Yiwa talk about her experiences. It's a legend.
Alice left Hangcheng at the age of ten to follow her remarried mother to Hong Kong. At the age of eighteen, she gave up her studies and married a German old man, then at the age of twenty-five, she inherited all of the old man's inheritance and went to war in the United States.
Alice, Xia Yiwa said, had an eccentric personality and was very wary of anyone. She was extremely picky and had almost no friends.
She looked me up and down carefully, and the look in her eyes made me uncomfortable. When she saw the latest LV handbag in my hand, her look of disdain faded. "I gave Yiwa to you, and you let her live in a place like this?"
"Alice, this is my own choice. Don't mention Shubei. Shubei is my best friend, and I hope you can treat her like you treat me. She is not an easy person. " Xia Yiwa hurriedly said when she saw Alice scolding me.
"Letting Yiwa live here is a real shame. I signed a three-year contract here, so I don't want to leave for the time being. I'm really sorry about that." I gave Xia Yiwa a look to indicate that she didn't mind, but I didn't take it to heart.
"I heard from Yiwa that you're an executive of a company. Logically speaking, your economic strength is not bad. How could you live in such a place?" Alice's tone was filled with doubt.
