MTL - Gentle to the Bone-Chapter 15
Shen Yansheng's illness was raised at home for a week, and Lu Jingce asked the kitchen to cook her supplements every day, which made her face rosy.
Finally, Lu Jingce agreed with her to go back to work. She originally thought that she could finally eat some normal home-cooked food. Who knew that Lu Jingce asked Uncle Chen to bring her meals every day at noon, and he wanted Uncle Chen to watch her finish eating.
After a few days like this, Shen Yansheng couldn't take it anymore, so he deliberately found a time. When Lu Jingce came home at night, he stopped him in the living room and planned to have a friendly negotiation with him.
So when Lu Jingce entered the door, she was very attentive and stepped forward to help Lu Jingce get his coat and slippers, and smiled. With that look, Lu Jingce knew what she was going to do.
He was a little amused, put on his slippers, went into the room, walked to the sofa and sat down, smoked a cigarette from the coffee table, bit his lips, touched the lighter, and was about to light a cigarette, when Shen Yansheng sat over and held him with one hand, He took the cigarette from his mouth with one hand.
He froze for a moment, looking sideways at her.
Shen Yansheng said very seriously: "Smoke less. If you smoke so much, you are not afraid of dying young."
Lu Jingce looked at her, and the corners of his lips could not help twitching into a smile, "Is it bad to die young? If I die, won't you be free?"
Shen Yansheng frowned upon hearing this, and glanced at Lu Jingce a little unhappily, "Can you please stop saying such unlucky words."
Lu Jingce smiled, not caring at all.
He stretched out his hand to squeeze Shen Yansheng's chin, and said with a smile, "Tell me, you will be courteous to me as soon as you come back, what else do you want me to do?"
Speaking of this, Shen Yansheng couldn't help but straighten his face, discussed with Lu Jingce very seriously, and said, "That's it, starting from tomorrow, can you stop letting Uncle Chen bring me meals? I've been drinking supplements every day recently. Your face is all round."
Lu Jingce smiled, raised his right hand and pinched Shen Yansheng's face, and said, "Where is the circle? Why didn't I notice it at all?"
Shen Yansheng looked at him unhappily, and after a while, he said seriously, "I'll be honest, I'm getting tired of taking supplements recently."
Lu Jingce said, "If you're tired of eating, ask the kitchen to change the dishes, and tell them what you want to eat."
Shen Yansheng just didn't want Uncle Chen to bring her meals every day. First, it was troublesome. Second, she didn't want to hear the company's gossip.
Lu Jingce refused to let go at all, took the teapot and poured water into the cup, and said, "Do you think I want to take care of your three meals a day? But look at how thin you are, if you don't take care of your body, the wind will be there any day. You scraped away."
Shen Yansheng couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, and said, "How can it be so exaggerated."
Lu Jingce picked up the cup to take a sip of water, then put down the cup, pulled Shen Yansheng onto his lap, pinched her waist, and said, "Look at your waist, it's so thin that I'm afraid it will break it for you one day. "
In front of the servant, Shen Yansheng was pulled to sit on Lu Jingce's lap. She was suddenly a little shy, her face turned red involuntarily, and said, "Our company's food is okay."
Lu Jingce said, "Do you think I don't know the company cafeteria? Normal people can eat it, but your body is not good, and you have no nutrition at all."
Seeing Lu Jingce's unwillingness to let go, Shen Yansheng knew that it was useless for her to continue, so she simply gave up discussing with him, and she was about to stand up, who would be caught by him again, "Wait a minute."
"What?" Shen Yansheng looked at him with an unhappy look on his face.
Lu Jingce rarely saw Shen Yansheng lose his temper with him. He was in an inexplicably good mood, and said, "I'm on a business trip tomorrow. You can go with me and call your leaders to ask for a leave."
Shen Yansheng raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said, "Lu Jingce, if I ask for leave twice more, this class will not be used."
Lu Jingce didn't care at all, and said, "Then don't take it. Originally, your class didn't have much to do."
Shen Yansheng frowned even more, looking at Lu Jingce unhappily.
Lu Jingce also looked at her and said, "Am I wrong? How many times have you been called back when you turn in the design draft from the oil painting every day? With your qualifications, you can't even pass a design draft? It's been a few months? Did the broken company give you a chance?"
Shen Yansheng pursed his lips and said nothing. Lu Jingce didn't say it clearly, but Shen Yansheng could hear it, and even Lu Jingce could see that someone in the company was deliberately suppressing her.
Lu Jingce scratched Shen Yansheng's face distressedly, and said, "I think you should just take this opportunity to resign. There is no future for this kind of company."
Shen Yansheng glanced at him and said, "You said it lightly, you think the job outside is so easy to find now."
Lu Jingce said, "If you can't do it, do it yourself."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Shen Yansheng with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I'll invest in you, so you can make your own brand?"
Shen Yansheng rolled his eyes at him, pushed Lu Jingce's shoulders away, stood up, and said, "No."
Even if she really wanted to start her own business, she wouldn't want Lu Jingce to invest in her. Otherwise, she would never be able to leave him for the rest of her life.
Although Shen Yansheng said that he would not ask for leave, but Lu Jingce asked her to accompany her, and she did not dare not to listen. In the evening, I called the leader to ask for leave, and promised to work online, and the design draft would be handed in on time.
The leader didn't have any opinion on her, and said that she should not worry. Anyway, several major models for this season have been set, and the company does not need her design for the time being.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yansheng sat on the balcony sofa in a daze. The Beicheng in June has gradually warmed up, and there is a trace of heat in the night wind.
Wearing a white nightdress with suspenders, Shen Yansheng huddled on the sofa, holding her knees with both hands and staring into the distance in a daze.
Lu Jingce came out of the shower, walked to the balcony, and saw Shen Yansheng sitting on the sofa with his knees in a daze.
He paused while wiping his hair, stared at Shen Yansheng for a while, then put the towel on the handle of the balcony door, walked to the sofa and sat down, asking, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Yansheng didn't answer, looked up at the night sky in the sky, and said, "There are a lot of stars tonight."
Seeing her like this, Lu Jingce had something on her mind. She didn't want to say it, and he didn't ask. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table, bit it between his lips, and lit a cigarette with a lighter, saying, "I smoke a cigarette, you Go inside by yourself."
Shen Yansheng looked up at him without moving.
Lu Jingce had to work overtime for a while, and smoking a cigarette was better than coffee.
He glanced sideways to see Shen Yansheng still sitting there motionless, with a smile on his lips, deliberately teasing her, "Aren't you afraid of smoking you?"
Shen Yansheng is in a bad mood at the moment because of work. Before anything happened at home, she was well-known in the industry anyway. She appeared in social situations every day, and many people came up to compliment her.
It's like now, after an accident at home, everyone avoids her like a flood of beasts, and even her normal work has to be suppressed.
She suddenly felt aggrieved, and some indescribable anger. She believes that her design level is not top, but she is definitely better than most domestic designers. Now in the new company, she is being suppressed everywhere, and the leaders directly under her are pressing her and refusing to let her come forward. The piles of works she has worked so hard to design have all become waste paper.
Anger and grievance hit her heart at the same time. She didn't know whether it was choked by Lu Jingce's smoke or the wind. She suddenly felt her eyes were a little hot. She stared at the smoke between Lu Jingce's fingers for a long time, then suddenly looked up at Lu Jingce and said, : "Can you give me a sip?"
Lu Jingce's action of knocking the ash into the ashtray couldn't help but pause, frowning and looking at Shen Yansheng.
Shen Yansheng didn't care whether he agreed or not, he reached out to take the cigarette between Lu Jingce's fingers, but Lu Jingce naturally wouldn't give it to her. He grabbed her outstretched hand, frowned at her, and said, "What's the trouble."
Shen Yansheng pursed her lips and looked at Lu Jingce, "Just take a sip, don't be so stingy."
Lu Jingce simply put the cigarette **** in the ashtray and said, "It's not a good thing, don't learn it."
Shen Yansheng glanced at him, "Then why do you smoke yourself?"
Lu Jingce said, "Don't compare yourself to me. I really can't quit. I usually have a lot of pressure at work, so I use it to relieve the pressure."
Shen Yansheng said: "I also decompress."
Lu Jingce took the cup on the coffee table and poured half a glass of water into the ashtray, completely extinguishing the cigarette butt, and then turned to hug Shen Yansheng sideways, and said with a smile, "You get rid of the ass."
Shen Yansheng frowned, her face fell down, and she became more and more unhappy.
Lu Jingce carried the person back to the room, put him on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her, and said, "Sleep more if you are stressed, and learn to smoke."
Shen Yansheng lay on the bed and looked at Lu Jingce, and said, "You are called double standard, you smoke every day."
Lu Jingce said: "Just treat me as a double standard, really treat this thing as a good thing."
He covered Shen Yansheng with a quilt, helped her adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, and said, "Okay, hurry up and go to bed."
Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce, "How about you?"
Lu Jingce picked up the charged mobile phone on the bedside table and said, "I still have some work to do, you go to bed first."
After he finished speaking, he helped Shen Yansheng to turn off the light.
The room fell into darkness in an instant, Shen Yansheng lay sideways on the bed, watching Lu Jingce's back as he walked to the door.
It was obvious that Lu Jingce had just quarreled with him because Lu Jingce told her to smoke, but now she looked at Lu Jingce's back, but suddenly couldn't take her eyes away for a long time.
She needed to remind herself so that she would not fall into Lu Jingce's tenderness.
The next day, Lu Jingce went on a business trip to Wu City, accompanied by Zhao Cheng.
While having lunch at the airport, Shen Yansheng listened to their conversation. It seemed that this trip was to discuss a tourism development project.
She had no intention of eavesdropping on business secrets, so she ate her meals carefully and didn't listen to a single word.
But she didn't know that Lu Jingce didn't need to go to this kind of preliminary inspection in person at all, but Zhao Cheng remarked that day, Wu City is a beautiful tourist destination with beautiful mountains and rivers.
It wasn't that he was idle, but he just wanted to take Shen Yansheng out to relax.
But Shen Yansheng was heartless. When he got there, he immediately took out the computer, put it on the coffee table, and prepared to work online.
Lu Jingce explained something to Zhao Cheng downstairs. When he went upstairs, he saw that Shen Yansheng had changed into his pajamas, sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table, and had already started to work.
He was angry and funny for a while, and he entered the door and asked her, "What are you doing?"
Shen Yansheng looked up and saw Lu Jingce coming back, she was a little surprised and said, "Didn't you go to work?"
She originally wanted Lu Jingce to go to work, but she stayed in the hotel for the past few days.
Lu Jingce said, "Zhao Cheng will do it."
He closed the door and entered the room, took a piece of clothes from the suitcase, turned to the bathroom, and said, "I'll take a shower, and I'll take you out for dinner later to see what you want to eat."
Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce's back in a daze, until the bathroom door was closed, and she came back to her senses.
After sitting in front of the coffee table for a while, I picked up my phone and clicked on the local food list.
After a while, Lu Jingce took a shower, changed his clothes and came out. He picked up the phone on the bedside table, replied the message, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Shen Yansheng sat on the carpet in front of the coffee table, flipping through her phone and saying, "It depends on what you want to eat, but this is a tourist place, if you want to eat high-end food, it is definitely not as good as in Beicheng, but we can Eating the specialties here, it seems that the evaluation is very good."
After returning the message, Lu Jingce came over and said, "It's mainly up to you, you can eat whatever you want."
Shen Yansheng thought for a while, and finally decided to eat local dishes.
She flipped through the food list for a long time and found a restaurant with a better environment.
After confirming the restaurant, she went to the bathroom to change clothes, and it was just lunchtime when she went out.
Arriving at the restaurant, Shen Yansheng couldn't help but ask, "Would you like to ask Assistant Zhao to come over as well?"
Lu Jingce raised his hand and glanced at his watch, then said "um", called Zhao Cheng and asked him to come over for dinner.
Zhao Cheng just finished his errands nearby, and came over shortly after, and just reported to Lu Jingce about his work during dinner.
Seeing that he had been reporting to work, Lu Jingce couldn't help laughing, and said, "I asked you to come over for dinner, not to come over and report to work. If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it after dinner."
Zhao Cheng was a little embarrassed, so he stopped and picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
While eating, Shen Yansheng couldn't help but look at the scenery outside the window. When she first entered the scenic spot, she went directly to the hotel by car, and she was a little tired just after getting off the plane. She fell asleep in the car and didn't see the outside scenery at all.
Sitting in the box now, I can see the scenery outside the window, the wide and calm river, the lotus flowers on the river have bloomed beautifully, there are several wooden boats on the river, tourists are sitting on the wooden boats, the early summer sun shines on the calm and unwavering On the river, there were sparkling waves.
She propped her chin to look at the scenery on the river, only to feel her heart calm down.
Lu Jingce sat opposite her, followed her gaze to the window, and asked, "Want to go swimming in the lake?"
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Jingce.
Lu Jingce put a shrimp in her bowl and said, "Eat first, and take you there after eating."
Shen Yansheng was a little surprised when she heard the words. When she was happy, there would be a beautiful light in her eyes, and she asked carefully, "Is it alright?"
Seeing her so happy, Lu Jingce couldn't help but smile, and said, "It's just swimming in a lake, why not?"
Later, Shen Yansheng had been looking forward to going to the lake, and she didn't want to eat. Lu Jingce saw that she couldn't sit still, so he didn't force her to eat more, and got up and went out to pay the bill.
Seeing Lu Jingce go to checkout, Shen Yansheng got up and helped Lu Jingce take off his coat from the hanger. When going out with Zhao Cheng, he asked him curiously, "When is Lu Jingce entertaining? Will I delay him?"
Zhao Cheng looked at Shen Yansheng, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but say, "You don't think President Lu is really here for a business trip, right?"
Shen Yansheng was stunned when she heard the words, she stopped and looked at Zhao Cheng suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Chengdao: "In fact, there is no need for President Lu to personally come to the project here. But didn't your father have an accident a while ago? President Lu was afraid that you would be unhappy, so he specially brought you out to relax."
