MTL - Is the Wife Married?-Chapter 56
The two kissed | It was inseparable, Wen Ning jolted, hurriedly pushed Gu Chixi away, and looked towards the door.
Tan Jia stood there dumbfounded.
Wen Ning's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and her ears were hot. She looked away in panic, lowered her head, and her heart beat fast.
"I'm sorry..." Tan Jia immediately backed out and closed the door.
Embarrassing silence.
Wen Ning opened her mouth slightly and panted. She didn't dare to look up, wishing she could just disappear in place. Gu Chixi hugged her and comforted her: "It's okay, Xiao Tan knows, she won't say it."
Having said that, she still complained about Tan Jia in her heart, which scared her wife.
She patted Wen Ning's back.
Wen Ning was quiet for a moment, then came over, pulled away from her arms, glared at her complainingly, and whispered, "Go to the airport, don't waste time."
"The plane will wait for me."
"It's time to go then, it's four thirty-five." Wen Ning looked at her watch.
Gu Chixi grabbed her hand and wrapped it in his palm, "Will you go on a business trip with me?"
"Don't go."
"Reject without thinking about it?"
"Well." Wen Ning turned her face away indifferently.
Gu Chixi smiled and pinched her earlobe, "Okay, then I'll go, be obedient at home, I'll be back the day after tomorrow." He released his hand and quickly pecked her face as he walked past Wen Ning.
"and many more-"
"Um?"
Wen Ning turned around and looked into Gu Chixi's eyes, "Should I send you off?"
Gu Chixi pursed her lips and smiled, "I have already reported the license plate number to the boarding building, and I can't change it temporarily." She looked at the corner of Wen Ning's lips, and suddenly the conversation changed, "But... you can sit in the car. give me."
"Okay." Wen Ning raised her eyebrows calmly.
The two walked out of the office one after the other, Tan Jia was waiting outside, Wen Ning and her looked at each other for a few seconds, her face was unnatural, and she looked away at the same time.
Secretary Chen and Secretary Gao were sitting at their workstations, not knowing what happened, and were not surprised by Wen Ning's entry and exit.
"I'll go down first." Wen Ning whispered, speeding up and running into the safe passage, going down two floors, and then taking the ordinary elevator.
Gu Chixi stood by the elevator and waited for five minutes before pressing the door.
The small space was cramped and quiet, and there was an inexplicable low air pressure. Tan Jia stood behind Gu Chixi, staring at the toes of his shoes, without daring to say a word. Fortunately, Gu Chixi didn't say anything, went out to the second floor and got into the car.
Tan Jia consciously sat in the co-pilot.
Wen Ning sat in the back, her face was a little red, she just smiled when she saw Gu Chixi getting into the car, her attention fell on Tan Jia, and she watched nervously.
She regrets...
If she knew that Assistant Tan was with her, she would not give it away, and the scene of being bumped into it was still reverberating in her mind. Although the other party knew the "relationship" between her and Gu Chixi by default, it was one thing, but she was seen with her own eyes. It's another story.
Wen Ning didn't want to tell the world the feeling of sharing joy. Instead, she was holding a toy that didn't belong to her, always worried that it would be snatched back.
She glanced at Gu Chixi.
Rather calm.
This invisibly relieved Wen Ning's tension. She relaxed and looked out the window. Suddenly, a soft voice came from her ear: "Ling Ning—"
"?"
The warm palm covered the back of her hand, Gu Chixi smiled and said, "Do you have a favorite gift or specialty?"
"North... Peking duck?" Wen Ning softened in her eyes and said a word subconsciously.
Gu Chixi shook his head, "Next time, let's go to eat now."
"Then no more."
Gu Chixi grabbed her hand and kissed it, Wen Ning was caught off guard, and out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of her hand in the central rearview mirror, and hurriedly pulled it out.
"When will you be back the day after tomorrow?" Her heart beat fast, changing the subject.
"If it goes well, noon."
"Oh."
Wen Ning responded and glanced at Tan Jia who was sitting in the front row. The latter, like a wooden man, didn't respond and looked down at the phone. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The company is only a ten-minute drive from the airport, and the journey is smooth, and it soon arrives at the business terminal. Tan Jia got out of the car first, opened the back seat door, Gu Chixi stepped out with one foot, and Wen Ning suddenly asked, "Have you brought enough clothes, it's cold in the north."
Her half-stretched hand retracted.
Gu Chixi was slightly surprised, her eyes fixed on her face for a long time, and she nodded, "Well, I'm not active outside."
"...Go."
Wen Ning stopped talking.
She watched Gu Chixi go in until the back was invisible. She leaned against the car window like a sculpture, feeling anxious in her heart. She suspected that she had ptsd and couldn't watch it any longer.
Wen Ning looked back.
"Miss Wen, where do you want to go next?" the driver asked her.
"go-"
The phone vibrated, Wen Ning lowered her head, and saw that He Yu had sent her a WeChat message. She set it to not display the details. Just clicked in, and the message was withdrawn.
The last message was five days ago.
At that time, Xiaoyu hadn't confided in her. They hadn't been in touch for five full days, which seemed unimaginable before—they talked for a while every day.
Wen Ning didn't know whether to treat it like he didn't see it or go back.
I couldn't help but guess why He Yu withdrew, was it slipping, or did it go back? The relationship between them became neither awkward nor embarrassing, and the sudden contact must be because they didn't know what to say, and they were very entangled, right? Wen Ning thought about every conceivable situation.
At this time, He Yu sent two messages in succession:
[I see the news]
[How are you? ]
Wen Ning stared at the two lines of words, and suddenly she couldn't tell the discomfort - she didn't call her "Ningzai".
She replied: [I'm fine], added a few small expressions commonly used by the two at the back, and asked: [Where are you? I will look for you. ]
He Yu didn't reply, and the top frame didn't change to "inputting", like a very light pebble that fell into the sea and sank without a sound.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
Wen Ning put down her phone and said, "Go to **** community."
"Okay," said the driver.
The car moved and slowly drove away from the airport, Wen Ning took a last look back.
Along the way, Wen Ning's mood was like a tide, with ups and downs.
Ever since He Yu said that day that she could not be a friend, she has been in conflict. The friendship that has come over by supporting and encouraging each other in the past seven years cannot be erased by saying "can't be done". She doesn't want to lose He Yu. But if from He Yu's point of view, seeing her is sad once, I'm afraid it's too late to hide from her.
For example, today, she didn't know where to look for He Yu.
What do you want to say when you meet?
Can we still be friends? don't you stay away from me? I do not want to lose you as afriend?
Wen Ning sneered.
What a big white lotus flower.
The car was parked at the gate of the community, and Wen Ning walked in quickly. She wanted to go upstairs, but was stopped by the access control. She called the building number and no one answered. She slipped in when she saw a resident coming out.
Standing in front of He Yu's house, knocking over and over again.
"Xiaoyu—"
"Xiaoyu, are you at home?"
Wen Ning took out her mobile phone and called, but no one answered. She sent He Yu a WeChat message, but no one responded. She waited for a while, and then went out to the neighbors to throw garbage, and said kindly, "This family went out this morning and didn't come back."
"…Oh, thanks."
Wen Ning went to the "North Shore" restaurant again. The manager said that the boss had not been there today.
He Yu still did not reply to the message, did not answer the phone.
The sky gradually darkened.
The street was brightly lit, and there were long queues of vehicles at the intersection. Wen Ning stood on the side of the road, and the mottled shadows of the lights illuminated her eyes. She struggled to find someone, panicked and helpless, and she didn't know where to go for a while.
WeChat received a picture from Gu Chixi.
It was dinner on the plane.
[have you eaten? ]
Just four simple words, Wen Ning watched, her heart suddenly calmed down, she lied and replied that she had eaten, and instead asked the driver to take her to the "Fingertip" bar.
…
The bar just opened, and there were not many people. Wen Ning sat at the bar and ordered a glass of lemonade to drink slowly.
Chatted with the supervisor and said that the boss was away and he had not shown up for several days, but another friend came on time at 8 o'clock every night and drank alone. He looks gentle and pure, with long hair and a well-behaved bookish air.
Qiu Yiran's figure appeared in her mind.
A sharp intuition came to me...
When Wen Ning drank the lemonade, it was exactly eight o'clock. Her eyes locked on the door of the bar like a radar, and she spotted Qiu Yiran among the people who came in and out.
The girl was completely different from the first meeting.
Wearing smoky makeup, thick red lips, small glittering sequins at the end of the eyes, wearing a black trench coat with a plastic texture, striding a shooting star.
She didn't see Wen Ning, she walked to the front and sat down, and Wen Ning followed.
"Miss Qiu."
"?"
The dim light fell on Qiu Yiran's face, making the makeup look like a wolf torn through sheep's clothing. She raised her eyes and said unexpectedly, "Wen Ning?"
Wen Ning smiled and sat down.
The supervisor came over with the wine list in his hand, Qiu Yiran didn't even look at it, and said, "It's the same as yesterday."
"Where's Miss Wen?" the supervisor asked with a smile.
Wen Ning said, "Boiled water."
I just drank a glass of lemonade for almost two hours, my mouth was sore, and I urgently needed plain water to dilute the taste.
"…"
When the supervisor left, Qiu Yiran burst out laughing: "You come to the bar to drink boiled water? It's exactly the same as Sister Xi." She laughed wildly and took out a small flat box from her bag, "Do you mind if I smoke?"
Hearing "Sister Xi" in her mouth, Wen Ning's heart trembled, resisting the urge to ask more, she shook her head to show that she didn't mind, and said, "I'm here to find Xiaoyu. I can't contact her."
"...She hasn't been to the bar these days." Qiu Yiran paused and said casually, holding the slender cigarette between his fingers.
The lighter burst into red flames and lit the cigarette.
She put the cigarette holder to her mouth, took a sip like a soft kiss, narrowed her eyes, and slowly exhaled the mist for a second, two seconds.
Wen Ning looked at her.
"Xiaoyu has been in a bad mood recently, so she probably needs to be quiet." Qiu Yiran said with a smile, but the smile did not enter his eyes.
Wen Ning suddenly became nervous: "Do you know her recent situation?"
"I don't know," Qiu Yiran brushed off the cigarette, and the sparks fell into the ashtray like a firefly. "Something went wrong a few days ago. She didn't tell me what it was, and I couldn't guess."
The waiter came over with a tray, took down a glass of boiled water and a peacock blue cocktail and put them on the table.
Wen Ning thanked him and poured half a glass of water.
Qiu Yiran smoked a cigarette leisurely, "You can't even contact her, let alone me." Her soft sweet voice sounded another charming flavor, "Xiaoyu promised me before that she would come to drink for free, You see, I'm going to drink her out of business."
Although it was a joke, Wen Ning could hear a bitter taste.
Intuition tells her that something is wrong.
"Where's Sister Xi? Why didn't you come together?" Qiu Yiran raised his eyebrows, took a sip of his glass and took a sip.
Wen Ning was about to say a business trip, when she suddenly remembered that this person didn't know what happened between her and Gu Chixi, she swallowed her words and thought about what to say, but Qiu Yiran suddenly giggled: "I know Sister Xi is chasing you. She's actually at ease to let you come to the bar alone, alas, it's time to fight—"
"???"
Wen Ning was dumbfounded.
"Oh, Sister Xi has already told me that you both grew up together. It's not easy to reunite after being separated from childhood sweethearts for so many years." Qiu Yiran patted her on the shoulder, pursed her lips and smiled.
Being stabbed in the sore spot, the softest part of the heart cracked open, and Wen Ning smiled reluctantly.
The mottled light and shadow swept over, making her face stiff.
She looked at Qiu Yiran, eager to move. This person may know what Gu Chixi's life has been like in the past seven years. That is the time she missed and never participated in. She has an obsession in her heart and wants to know one or two.
"Yeah, separated for many years..." The voice squeezed out of Wen Ning's throat had a bitter taste.
Qiu Yiran squeezed the glass tightly, the peacock blue liquid lining her fingers became more slender and white, she couldn't read or understand what was in Wen Ning's eyes - after all, she was such a careless and affectionate person.
However, this does not prevent her from "doing good deeds".
"Do you know that Sister Xi is studying in England?"
"…Um."
I found out later. Wen Ning said in his heart.
Qiu Yiran smiled, put down the cup, took a sharp puff of cigarette, and burned most of the slender paper in an instant, "Sister Xi and I met at the school music festival. At that time, there was a self-built band in the school, and I was the lead violinist. We were originally going to perform at the opening ceremony, but the student who played the piano had diarrhea for more than ten minutes..."
Gu Chixi, who went to the music festival, volunteered to take the stage, completed the performance in place of the student, and successfully saved the scene.
That's how Qiu Yiran got to know Gu Chixi.
They are not in the same school, and they often hang out together after meeting.
"Although Sister Xi is studying business, her piano level is no worse than that of the students in the major. If it is not for family reasons, she can go to the music school for further study, and her future is bright..."
"Family reasons?" Wen Ning grabbed the point at once.
Qiu Yiran's face changed slightly, and he smiled covertly, and said, "Her mother has a weird temper, and I don't know the specifics."
When you're done, keep talking.
Wen Ning suppressed her doubts and listened intently.
Most of them are trivial life or interesting news, which may sound boring to others, but for Wen Ning, these are the days she used to be absent, and she can't even have the simplest and most boring life with it.
The stiff faces were illuminated in different colors by the lights.
Like her mixed heart at the moment.
She grabbed the glass and took a swig.
The sour taste in the mouth cannot be washed away by the boiled water, but it becomes more astringent...
The next day after arriving in the capital, Gu Chixi held a whole day of meetings and only returned to the hotel at nine o'clock at night.
The phone was automatically turned off when it was out of power. She plugged in the charger, turned it on, put it on the bedside, and took a bath with clothes. Because she was tired, she came out after washing for too long. She was a little hungry without having dinner, so she was going to ask Tan Jia to order a meal.
Tan Jia is taking a shower in the next bedroom.
She sat by the bed, picked up her phone and looked at it. There were more than a dozen unread messages on WeChat, five of which were from Wen Ning, and one missed call.
[What about dinner? Why didn't you post]
[Didn't eat again? ]
[Busy? ]
[Why is it still turned off? Don't be scary]
[-Voice calls-]
[-video call-]
[OK, don't come back]
Gu Chixi was fascinated by the news.
Since she fainted from low blood sugar, she made an agreement with Ningling to show her every meal to prove that she had a good meal. Today, I am too busy to eat dinner, and I don't have time to read messages on my phone. I don't know that WeChat has been fried.
With just a few words, Gu Chixi couldn't help but feel flattered by the eager tone.
The residual warmth of the hot water flowed in the pores, all the way into her heart.
She called Wen Ning back.
After less than three seconds of ringing, she was connected. Without waiting for Wen Ning to speak, she quickly explained: "Ning Ning, I just returned to the hotel, and the phone was turned off when it was out of power."
There was silence over there.
"Lemon?"
My heart clenched.
"...Have you eaten dinner?" Wen Ning finally spoke, her voice as low as a dull drum.
Gu Chixi answered truthfully: "Not yet, we are going to order food."
"Oh."
"…"
Before she could react, the call was hung up.
