Chapter 30 Nacht "You kissed him?"
Chapter 30 Nacht "You kissed him?"
Following Que Zan's gaze, Meng Ye also turned his head and looked sideways.
It’s Xie Xianshen again.
That time in Shanghai, he also appeared beside her inexplicably, and it was the same this time.
Scolding him once was not enough, Quezhan cursed him again in her heart: "Help me get my things when you come."
What he said went in one ear and out the other. She was about to hang up the phone when the voice from the other end said: "I came here specially to pick you up. Was this what Mrs. Xie showed me?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to her. When he came to the opposite side of her, the man supported himself on the transparent wall with one hand.
He was really too tall, with broad shoulders, and his shadow almost caged her in. She couldn't escape from that small space. He lowered his body slightly, but the line with her was still open. His cold voice pressed on her pulse again: "Is it fun?"
The two of them were leaning forward and the other was looking up. From Xie Xianshen's perspective, she felt as if he was patting her head and protecting her in his arms.
He tried to control his emotions and tone, what if he scared the cat.
But the cat's light pupils didn't move, it just stared at him, as if on the verge of exploding with fur again.
The fact is that he guessed wrong.
I was too tired from shopping today, but I didn’t have the energy or shen to argue with Xie Xianshen. I said two words in a serious tone: “No.”
- Did you kiss him?
--No.
This was her answer.
He was much more obedient than his previous choking attitude, and he was very satisfied.
Although Meng Ye was right next to them, he was unaware of the content of their conversation.
Beside him, Que Zhan was packing up the spoils he had bought. He wanted to help her and take this opportunity to have physical contact with her.
But the plan was interrupted and Xie Xianshen took the gift bag he was holding.
Without saying any polite words or thank you, he did not stay for a second. He turned around, grabbed Que Zan's wrist and left.
"...Um, Meng Ye..."
Before Quezhan could say hello to anyone, she was carried away like a child. She hit Xie Xianshen with her free hand and continued, "I'm leaving first. See you next time..."
Next time?
Xie Xianshen lifted her up with more strength, holding all her purchased clothes, jewelry, and bags in one hand and pulling her with the other hand. He quickened his pace, but on the way out of the mall he almost tripped and almost bit someone.
Meng Ye stood where he was, staring at the direction where Que Zhan left.
It really gets in the way.
Her so-called husband is really a nuisance.
After dialing a number in the list, Meng Ye looked at himself in the mirror against the glass wall. The earring on his left ear bone was a gift she gave him personally.
His body still remembered the warmth of her fingertips.
He said calmly, "Winni, give me Xie Huaiming's contact information."
...
"Xie Xianshen...!"
Her wrist was gripped so tightly, but she couldn't shake it off no matter how hard she tried. Her wrist was red and the pain was both hot and painful, "Let me go... You hurt me...!"
He seemed to have lost his mind and couldn't hear her words or feel her resistance. It was not until he stuffed her into the car and saw that she had behaved herself that he calmed down his restless mind. When he looked at her, she was back to being angry and ready to fight with him.
"Does it hurt?"
It was a one-word question, asked at just the right moment.
Xie Xianshen placed one hand on the back of the passenger seat, leaned over as he did before, and suppressed her in the dark shadow, "Quezhan, you can even feel the pain, but can't you feel that person's ulterior motives towards you?"
What he meant was that Meng Ye liked her?
impossible.
"It's not just him. What do the two Meng brothers think of you? Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? Can't you tell?"
Quezhan sighed. She and Meng Xie have been friends for more than ten years. This boundary has never changed, let alone crossed. She has always regarded him as a friend, and he is the same. He does things in moderation and does not overdo it.
As for Meng Ye, they had only known each other for a short time. They each had their own jobs and did not meet very often.
As for the controversy surrounding that concert, the rules were drawn up and the people were chosen randomly, just like the partner combinations in variety shows, it was just a game.
"Mr. Xie, what has provoked you?"
Quezhan analyzed the situation carefully, and maintained his own judgment after thinking it through. "Even if it is for the interests of the Xie and Que families, the requirement in the agreement is only that the two parties cannot have new developments in their relationship. I have no feelings for love, and you look down on love. We should be like-minded, or do you not have confidence in each other at all?"
"I said, I have friends, and it is impossible for me to break off the relationship because of my marriage. From the marriage to now, have I interfered in your affairs? In your work, life and other aspects of intersection, dare you say that you have not met the opposite sex?"
"You eat and chat with other opposite sex. What do those opposite sex think of you and what do you think of them? Have I ever cared about these?!"
Because she didn't like him and didn't love him, she didn't care about anything about him.
How dare you lose your temper with him like this for two unrelated people?
"That's a matter of interest, it's a work requirement."
"Us too."
Initially, they were tied together by the bond of interest. Two people who both regarded love as trash, it was only fitting that they were tied together for the same benefit.
He did not take his hand back from the back of the chair. He could see clearly her mood and temper reflected in her eyes.
Xie Xianshen chuckled: "Don't you believe what I said?"
Without waiting for her to reply, he said: "It doesn't matter, we have plenty of time."
"You should see their true colors."
-
This press conference announced the marriage between the Xie and Que families, marking the powerful combination of the two top wealthy families, and naturally attracted widespread attention from the outside media.
On the day of the press conference, Que Zhan wore a delicate cheongsam made of smoky blue satin. Her long straight black hair was tied into a low bun with a thin hairpin. A crystal tassel hung from the end of the hairpin. Her beautiful face with clear black eyebrows further highlighted her beauty.
Her clothes were rather plain, but her fierce nature and ambition remained undiminished.
By now, he had seen her wearing clothes of various shades.
Red seems to be her favorite color, but this color is not all hers.
Below the stage, media flash lights were as bright as day, and reporters climbed the stairs one by one, holding up microphones to ask questions.
Some time ago, rumors about the Harmony Band's concert were all over the Internet and ran rampant. Today, the press conference for the marriage between the Xie and Que families was made public, and it became the central topic.
Reporter: "I would like to ask Miss Que and Mr. Xie, a week ago, there was a false love affair rumor about Miss Que, which spread all over the Internet. What do you think about this, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Xianshen raised his eyes slowly, "This press conference is the final response to the rumors."
The reporter hesitated and wanted to continue asking questions, and heard the man say, "Similar rumors and scandals will not appear again. If they do, they will be held legally responsible."
Quezhan glanced at Xie Xianshen, and lamented that men are so fickle.
The night before the press conference, someone pinched her waist and warned her gloomily, bringing up the past to ask her to behave herself. This was completely different from the well-dressed him now.
Because of this, she was so angry that she bit the scarred side of his left wrist.
New bruises covered the old wounds, and he raised his wrist slightly, which became clearer.
The reporter's eyes were sharper than a ruler and he also saw it, "Mr. Xie, you... the injury on your wrist seems to be very serious, do you need any treatment?"
"My wife has two cats."
Xie Xianshen didn't care and pulled up his sleeves a little, "They are naughty and not very obedient. It's nothing serious."
Her bite marks seemed to be covered up, and under the focus of thousands of eyes in public, they seemed to be covered with a different kind of tenderness and ambiguity.
The reporters in the audience were not stupid either. They all understood the superficial rhetoric tacitly and were secretly impressed.
The hobby of newlyweds must be letters!
Quezhan looked at Xie Xianshen calmly, his eyes containing cold light, implying that he should stop talking nonsense.
This small sign was caught off guard and it was undoubtedly confirmed to the outside world that the real culprit was indeed him.
This is not enough!
Who says there is no emotion in the marriage between wealthy families? Come on! ! ! ! ! !
Afterwards, the reporter asked that since the press conference was made public today, the couple's marriage date and wedding should also be on the agenda, so would it be convenient to reveal the specific time?
Xie Xianshen paused for a moment, waiting for Que Zhan to answer this question.
But I was a little distracted and started to slack off in the middle of the press conference, just wanting it to end quickly, so I missed the opportunity to answer the questions.
The man said succinctly: "Good things are coming, wait for good news."
Off the stage, on the side of the elders of the Que family, Que Zhan's aunt Chu Shuoshan and uncle Que Hong, heard about the press conference of the marriage between the Xie and Que families, and they flew back to the capital from abroad.
In the eyes of her aunt Chu Shuoshan, she treated Quezhan as her own daughter. Quezhan was the only son of the Que family. When she learned the news of the marriage between the two families, she was unable to attend the family dinner due to her work.
Quehong is the elder, and he often feels that if he also has a child, the child should be about the same age as Quechan. Watching him get married or have children, he may have no regrets in his life.
"I know what you are thinking."
Once husband and wife, always husband and wife. Chu Shuoshan understands her husband. "It's my fault that I couldn't give you a child. You should have signed the divorce agreement."
Chu Shuoshan could not conceive for the rest of his life due to his special physique, and the Que family could not have descendants. The estrangement existed for many years, and it was a hurdle that the couple could not overcome.
Que Hongyue held her hand and said, "Ashan, this is not your fault."
They were both right, but the invisible barrier always existed between them, as if it would never disappear.
...
The press conference ended, and Que Dian left the stage, with Xie Xianshen following not far behind her.
They were taking the same path and happened to run into his aunt and uncle. Quezhan was surprised to see them at the press conference and said with delight, "Aunt? You're back?"
He immediately jumped up and hugged Chu Shuoshan, "When did you come back? Ms. Bai's information was too tight-lipped, I didn't know."
"Just got off the plane not long ago." Chu Shuoshan tidied up the messy hair on the back of Quezhan's neck and looked at Quezhan as if he were his own child, "You couldn't be at the family dinner, so you can't miss this press conference."
Quezhan knew the importance of occasions and as a middleman, he introduced them, "This is my aunt, and this is my uncle."
Xie Xian nodded deeply and called him a knowledgeable person.
Chu Shuoshan nodded and took a close look at the man in front of her. She also learned of his identity. Her appearance and background both pleased her. She praised Quezhan: "Our Quezhan is really good at choosing people. Before we landed in the capital, your mother told me all the way that she and your father are very optimistic about the son-in-law of the Que family."
"Is grandma happy too?"
"...Yes, I am."
Quezhan noticed from the corner of her eye that Xie Xianshen was looking at her, but she deliberately ignored him. She thought to herself that he was clearly praising her, but why did the person next to her seem so proud.
The elders left one after another, and there were not many people around. Xie Xianshen still remembered the compliment that Ms. Chu said, "My aunt said that Mrs. Xie is very good at selecting people."
"Don't flatter yourself."
To be honest, Que Zhan was too lazy to pretend at the press conference. She felt dizzy after hearing so many questions. Now she just wanted to go out and have fun and indulge herself. "Aunt Tian has taken a leave today and can't take care of the three little ones. This task will be handed over to Mr. Xie." "
Where are you going?" Xie Xianshen moved in front of her and asked suddenly.
"I can go wherever I want to go. Why do you care?"
Quezhan turned sideways to leave, and when she brushed past his shoulder, he grabbed her wrist. His left hand held her tightly, and the bite marks on the inside of her wrist were still there.
"You just leave the three of them to me and go out by yourself. Is that reasonable?"
"..."
Quezhan and Xunang had made an appointment to go to Qing'ai Bar. It was a scheduled place and they couldn't cancel it at the last minute.
She didn't bring the matter up to the surface, she just said that she was going out, and asked him to take care of the three kids. What was wrong? The two little black monsters, Nacht and Revival, liked him so much that they almost forgot about her as their biological mother.
He took out his cell phone and opened the chat box between them to transfer money, but he was calm and said, "Mr. Xie, please name a price. How much is appropriate?"
Xie Xianshen raised his wrist, and his palm holding her wrist was also raised. He motioned for her to look, "You hurt me, and you don't care about cats and dogs, and then you want to walk away?"
What the hell is this injury!
Que Zhan smiled angrily and asked in a provocative tone: "Are you so pampered, Mr. Xie?"
After she finished speaking, she swiftly broke free from his grip on her wrist, and with her other hand reached behind her head to pull out the hairpin that held her bun. As she moved, a slight breeze was blown, and her long, soft black hair was instantly freed from the thin hairpin and spread over her back like a waterfall.
When he came to his senses, he already felt a dull, stabbing sensation on the side of his neck that was obstructing his breathing.
She raised her clear eyes. The colder the temperature in her pupils, the deeper and heavier the force she controlled. The tip of the hairpin hit the artery on his neck exactly.
He taught her that.
"What you are talking about is not called an injury."
The meridian lines on the side of his neck were clearly visible, but he held the hairpin in reverse and moved it all the way down. Every inch of skin that the tip slid over was engraved red, which was too conspicuous compared to the rest of the cold white, as if a blood needle was planted in his bones.
"If I really use a knife to cut a wound here, it will bleed." Quezhan leaned forward a few inches and whispered in his ear: "That's called an injury."
"Then Madam Xie, stab harder."
Xie Xianshen circled her wrist and pressed down with the thin hairpin again. His black eyes were cold and sharp, catching her, "The injury has to be serious enough so that you can't run away." He
wanted to trap her with his own life? He is crazy enough.
Quezhan was just going through the motions and certainly didn't really do anything. She pulled her wrist away, didn't talk about the conditions, and withdrew the idea of transferring the money. "Anyway, I'm not going back tonight. Since you're so cruel, just let the three little guys starve."
She said she was not going back tonight.
If you don’t go back, where should you go?
Looking for the two brothers from the Meng family?
He said, don't even think about it.
Que Zhan was about to leave, but a phone call interrupted her crazy plan all night.
Grandma called, "Zhanzhan, where are you? Do you have time?"
Quezhan replied that she was just about to go out and asked her grandmother what she wanted to talk about. When Ms. Ye learned that she had time, she smiled gently and said, "I'm in the bridal shop. I just saw a very beautiful wedding dress and I think it's very suitable for you. I want to see you try it on."
"You will look beautiful in it."
They started choosing wedding dresses as soon as the press conference ended...
The old lady had given the order, and Quezhan had no reason to refute. She agreed and said she would go over now.
After a pause, Ms. Ye added: "Call Shangxianshen, and you two come together."
