43 -Â How can you be so nice.
Early morning, when Cheng Li woke up, she turned over in bed and habitually reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table. Usually before going to bed, she would put her mobile phone within reach of the bedside.
In this way, when you wake up the next morning, you can directly reach out and touch it to check the time.
But she spent a long time touching her hands, almost touching the entire bedside table, but she couldn't even touch her mobile phone.
Cheng Li opened her eyes and found that there was no mobile phone on the bedside table.
Her first reaction was, screw it, the phone was lost.
But soon, she began to recall what happened last night. She just thought of her and Rong Qi sitting in the living room, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, drinking, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
Wait...
wait, how did she fall asleep last night.
Cheng Li recalled with shame the long and dense kiss they had, with their lips and teeth lingering to the extreme. The slightly bitter taste of beer lingering between his lips now lingered in his nose, as if it was still the smell of cold cedar around him.
Then Cheng Li vaguely remembered.
It seemed that she was breathing hard halfway through the kiss, so Rong Qi let go and let her lie on his shoulder to breathe, and then she fell asleep.
So does this count as she fell asleep halfway through the kiss?
Cheng Li couldn't help but rubbed her long hair vigorously.
Can she do this kind of thing? ?
Cheng Li couldn't even imagine Rong Qi's expression at that time.
For men, her reaction should be quite shocking.
But she didn't want to either.
It was quite late last night. Cheng Li didn't drink well, and she was the kind of person who gets sleepy when she drinks. The fact that she could insist on kissing him for so long was actually because of her crazy crush on him.
Cheng Li sighed and fell on the bed.
never mind.
Destroy it.
No matter how many excuses you make, it won't change the fact that she fell asleep in the middle of last night.
After a while, Cheng Li struggled to get up and wanted to go to the living room to find her mobile phone. She remembered that she put her mobile phone on the sofa at that time, and it was probably still there now.
But just as she was about to open the door, she looked down at herself.
I haven't brushed my teeth yet and my hair is messy.
no.
What if at this point, Rong Qi hasn't gone to work yet, and if she bumps into him when she goes out, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he sees her slovenly look.
So Cheng Li hurried into the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and took a quick shower.
I blew my hair a little before walking out of the room.
However, it was already bright outside, and the entire living room was bright and energetic. The traces of the heavy rain last night had almost disappeared. On the river outside the window, the ships were busy in an orderly manner.
Cheng Li walked to the sofa and saw her mobile phone sitting on the coffee table.
"Are you finally awake?"
Aunt Li walked over from the utility room with a hand-held vacuum cleaner and said with some surprise when she saw Cheng Li. Aunt Li has been working here for so long and has long been accustomed to their busyness.
In the past, when Rong Qi was alone, he could go a week or two without going home.
Only assistants or drivers occasionally go home to pick up clothes for him.
Now that Rong Qi is married, he spends more time at home, but the couple basically goes to work early and comes home late, and they rarely meet Aunt Li.
Speaking of which, this was only the third time Aunt Li met Cheng Li.
Cheng Li flipped up her long hair and said with a smile, "Yes, I just woke up."
She looked around and asked, "Has Rong Qi gone to work first?"
"When I came here today, he wasn't there yet. As for leaving, I also wanted to say, why did he leave late today?" Aunt Li glanced at her, chuckled and said, "It turns out that he was worried that you would be alone at home, so he waited for me to come before he went to work. "
"That's right," Cheng Li felt a little warmed up in her heart when she heard this.
This kind of meticulous care is always the most touching.
Not to mention, she still likes people who care about her.
Cheng Li felt that even if there was a real lottery ticket worth five million in front of her now, she would not be willing to exchange it for Rong Qi.
Cheng Li knew that he was not at home, and looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock in the morning.
After having something to eat, we headed to the company.
During lunch break, Lao Cheng called. As soon as the answer was answered, a sighing sound came over. Cheng Li felt nervous and asked quickly: "Dad, what happened?"
"This time, even your mother I can't bear it any longer," Old Cheng Youyou asked, "Let me ask my satellite, when can it go home? "
Satellite?"
Cheng Li asked curiously: "What satellite?"
Cheng Dingbo: "Don't they all say that raising children and launching satellites took more than ten years of hard work and careful training, and finally waited until the launch was successful, and then the satellite disappeared into the vast space, from time to time. Some weak signals were sent back."
Cheng Li: "..."
But she also feels guilty. She has been really busy for more than a week.
After Ren Kuang's accident, she was very busy.
Not to mention going home, I don't even have time to make phone calls.
Cheng Li thought for a moment and immediately made the decision: "I'll go home for dinner tonight. I want to eat braised pork, spring rolls, and sweet and sour pork."
"You think this is a restaurant, and you still order food," no matter how much Cheng Dingbo hurts her again , I couldn't help but complain at this moment.
Cheng Li said sweetly, "Thank you, dad. I like dad the most."
Cheng Dingbo instantly smiled and said, "That's right."
In the afternoon, Liu Mingyi handed over to Cheng Li all the investment company information he had found over the past few days.
Two of them were very willing. Liu Mingyi was afraid of delaying the opportunity, so he wanted Cheng Li to talk to Ren Kuang first.
Ren Kuang was about to be discharged from the hospital in the next two days. In fact, he had almost recovered after being rescued, but because he suddenly suffocated, the doctor recommended that he undergo a comprehensive physical examination.
Ge Ru was frightened to death and did not allow him to be discharged from the hospital, so he continued to stay in the hospital.
So Cheng Li agreed and decided to call Ren Kuang first.
Unexpectedly, when she called, Ren Kuang actually asked her to come directly to the hospital.
Because the hospital that Ren Kuang was sent to was not far from the company, a ten-minute taxi ride away, Cheng Li went to the hospital without any delay.
When they arrived at the hospital ward, Cheng Li knocked on the door and entered.
"Isn't sister-in-law here?"
Cheng Li couldn't help but ask when she saw that Ge Ru was not in the room.
Ren Kuang got up from the hospital bed, put on the coat hanging next to him, and said: "She went back to school to deal with some things, and I can move around freely. You are here just in time, come with me for a walk."
Cheng Li looked at him suspiciously: "You don't want to go down to smoke, do you?"
Ren Kuang was stunned for a moment, and then retorted righteously: "How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?" "
More like that," Cheng Li said. Li replied sincerely.
Ren Kuang: "No, no, I'm so suffocated. I haven't smoked a cigarette for so many days. Your sister-in-law looks at me like a thief. The little tricks I used to hide cigarettes, now It doesn't work anymore."
Cheng Li said directly: "My sister-in-law turned a blind eye to you in the past. Now that your body is like this, of course she won't tolerate it anymore."
"Okay, don't smoke, don't smoke. Let's go shopping at the head office. "
That's nothing. Cheng Li accompanied Ren Kuang downstairs to the hospital.
There is a small garden below, which is specially used for patients in the inpatient department. Many elderly people sit in wheelchairs, pushed by caregivers or family members, and sit under the sun, basking in the warm sunshine.
"Lele came to the hospital to see me two days ago. As soon as he saw me, he said, Dad, don't die," Ren Kuang was walking and suddenly mentioned his five-year-old daughter.
Cheng Li pursed her lips and chuckled: "Children's words are unbridled."
Ren Kuang also smiled and continued: "I said dad won't die, don't worry. But what do you think she said?"
"What?" Cheng Li is also a little curious, because children nowadays are very quirky.
Ren Kuang imitated the child's voice and said, "She said, I haven't taken you to see Oreo yet."
"Oreo?" Cheng Li was a little surprised. Isn't this a biscuit? Why should I go to see it?
Seeing that she was also confused, Ren Kuang couldn't help but smile: "Look, I just said that I'm not the only one who doesn't know. This Oreo is a panda. When she went to her grandmother's house in Sichuan, she spent the entire summer vacation. I go to the Chengdu Giant Panda Base almost every week."
Cheng Li also laughed.
She really didn't know that the giant panda could also be called Oreo.
"Last year, I originally promised to accompany her to Chengdu to see her favorite giant pandas with her. But something happened to the company. I was busy soliciting investment and cooperation all day long, and I couldn't even go home. What's more, Don't talk about accompanying her."
Cheng Li knew that he was talking about the incident where the key business personnel left last year.
At that time, it almost paralyzed the entire company.
Fortunately, they made it through.
But at this time, Cheng Li heard Ren Kuang suddenly mention this, and a hunch suddenly rose in her heart that Ren Kuang might have something to say to her.
Sure enough, Ren Kuang stopped.
Cheng Li also stopped.
Ren Kuang looked at her and whispered: "I plan to sell my shares."
Cheng Li was shocked and couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes.
Cheng Li knew how difficult it was along the way, and Ren Kuang knew even more.
No matter how difficult the company was before, Ren Kuang never mentioned any idea of ââselling the company's shares, but now, he suddenly said this.
"Did something happen?" Cheng Li asked with some difficulty, "Or is it related to your body?"
Ren Kuang smiled and comforted: "The results of my full body examination did come out, and my heart is in trouble. Problem, this is why your sister-in-law has not allowed me to leave the hospital. She plans to let me undergo surgery."
Cheng Li opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know what to say.
"But the biggest reason is that I want to stop. I still remember that when I was just preparing to start a business, Lele could only walk. Now she is already in kindergarten. When we chatted yesterday, I asked her, what is the current teacher in your small class? What are you teaching?"
Ren Kuang smiled bitterly: "She was very angry and refused to talk to me anymore. I didn't understand why she was angry at first. Your sister-in-law told me that she is now in middle school. "
Cheng Li listened quietly to his words.
But he already understood what Ren Kuang was thinking.
Many times, these people have family and career and cannot take care of both.
Ren Kuang sighed, looked at Cheng Li, and laughed at himself: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I woke up and found out that I had walked around the gate of hell, I was really scared. I was afraid that Lele would be like this. When you are young, you become a child without a father, and you are afraid of leaving your sister-in-law alone. "
"Brother, if you think like this, you are not cowardly, but it is human nature. Maybe we will understand it only when we are facing loss. , what is most important to us?"
Cheng Li comforted Ren Kuang warmly.
Ren Kuang: "Before, your sister-in-law got an opportunity from a university in Sichuan to hire her as a professor. However, because my career is in Shanghai, she has been hesitant and does not want our family of three to be separated. For so many years, it has been her. Sacrifice for me, this time I think it might be my turn to do something for her."
Ren Kuang did not make this decision impulsively.
After many people have walked away from the gate of hell, they will see through the world and become open-minded.
The same is true for Ren Kuang. At the age of forty, his career is still successful and his family is even happier.
If this incident hadn't happened, I'm afraid he would still have continued to fight.
Seeing that Cheng Li didn't say anything and had a heavy look on his face, Ren Kuang smiled and said, "I'm preparing to retire and go to Sichuan to bask in the sun and see giant pandas. What's your expression?"
Cheng Li smiled quickly: "Then I want to congratulate you in advance, senior brother."
"Indeed," Ren Kuang said deliberately: "After a while, when you look at my circle of friends, I will make you jealous to death."
Cheng Li also laughed: "Then. I will block you when the time comes."
The atmosphere, which was originally a bit heavy, relaxed a little.
"Who or what company do you want to sell your company to?" Cheng Li asked.
Ren Kuang shook his head: "There is no suitable one yet. There is no rush in this matter. Anyway, you are managing it first. You have management experience in the company, which is also good for you. And I promise you, even if I leave, I will I will definitely guarantee your position and it will not be shaken."
Cheng Li shook his head: "Brother, I'm not worried about this. I'm just worried about Fanhai's future."
They brought it to this point by themselves, but it was an inexplicable derailment. The scandal caused the entire company to deviate from its original track and quickly move in another direction.
Cheng Li cannot see the future direction.
She doesn't know what company will acquire Oceanwide in the future, or whether the name Oceanwide will still exist in the future.
For the first time, she felt confused.
On the way back to the company, Cheng Li called Rong Qi.
Rong Qi got through and asked directly: "My parents asked us to go back for dinner tonight. Are you free tonight?"
There was silence for a while, and she said apologetically: "There is a business dinner with the government department tonight. , I let..."
He seemed to be ready to find a solution. Cheng Li felt a little guilty when he heard it, and quickly interrupted: "Work is important, I can just go back and eat by myself tonight."
"I'm sorry," Rong Qi felt a little guilty. .
"It's my fault because I asked you in advance," Cheng Li felt even more guilty when she heard him say this.
Rong Qi: "Then you go over to eat. I'll take you home after I'm done."
Cheng Li was afraid that he would be too tired, so she said directly, "I can just take a taxi back. It's quite troublesome for you to run back and forth like this."
"No trouble, the driver will take me there," Rong Qi concluded.
Cheng Li didn't argue with him then.
In the evening, Cheng Li returned home. When she opened the door, Ms. Ling happened to be serving food. She glanced at her, looked out the door again, and asked, "Rong Qi didn't come back with you? Didn't you call him?"
"Call me, he has work today and can't come," Cheng Li said.
Rong Qi has a business dinner with the government department today, so he really can't come.
"That's okay," Ling Shuanghua said reluctantly.
Cheng Li was amused and snorted deliberately: "Why, you're disappointed that I'm the only one?"
"Yeah, if I had known you were the only one, you wouldn't have cooked so many dishes," Ling Shuanghua said unceremoniously.
Cheng Dingbo came out of the kitchen and said repeatedly: "Don't listen to your mother's harsh words. She cooked all the dishes today. I came back and made a sweet and sour pork loin."
Cheng Li threw down the bag and was about to sit down.
"Wash your hands, wash your hands," Ling Shuanghua looked at her and couldn't help but muttered, "How old are you, and you still don't know how to wash your hands before eating."
Cheng Li ran into the kitchen and quickly washed her hands.
When she came back and sat down, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, and put it into her mouth. After eating, she sighed: "The familiar chanting, the familiar taste, I miss it so much."
Cheng Dingbo: "I miss your mother's chanting." , move back in tomorrow."
"Okay," Cheng Li said without hesitation.
By the way, he also brought Rong Qi back together.
Ling Shuanghua: "That won't work. I'll just wait for you for one day. I won't be patient if you wait for me every day."
Cheng Li buried her head in her meal, knowing that Ling Shuanghua was just being tough.
Now that Cheng Dingbo and Ling Shuanghua saw her in person, they couldn't help but ask her how her newlywed life was going.
When she heard that they rarely ate at home and the house was cleaned by her aunt, Ling Shuanghua couldn't help but said: "You have lived the life of a young mistress."
"Have you ever seen such a social bastard? Our company seems to be in chaos these days. , I can get off work before ten o'clock every day, it's because God has mercy on me."
Cheng Dingbo: "This job is too hard, why not change it?"
Cheng Li was enjoying the meal, but when he heard this, he remembered what Ren Kuang said. To sell the company.
Suddenly, I felt that the plate of sweet and sour pork in front of me was no longer fragrant.
"You are so busy, don't forget your grandma's birthday party when the time comes," Ling Shuanghua suddenly remembered the business and said, "Rong Qi should be able to come this time."
Cheng Li was stunned, she really forgot This batch.
She raised her head and thought for a moment: "Not necessarily. He is so busy at work and flies around a lot. I can't say for sure."
"How can I not be sure? He is the CEO of the company. Whether he goes on a business trip or not? It's not him who has the final say," Ling Shuanghua said anxiously, "Besides, he and you are both married. As your grandson-in-law, he should be present at your grandma's birthday party."
Cheng Li said a little anxiously when she saw Ms. Ling.
She couldn't help but laugh: "Ms. Ling, how do I feel that you want to show off my husband?"
After saying that, it was Cheng Li herself who was stunned for a moment before Ms. Ling.
my husband.
These three words came out of her mouth so naturally.
"What do I have to show off," Ms. Ling glared at her.
Cheng Li said calmly: "The husband I am looking for is handsome, tall, and one of the best in the world. You are not allowed to take him to grandma to show off."
Ling Shuanghua glanced at her and said lightly: "Your dad You are so good, do you see me showing off?"
Cheng Dingbo, who was eating quietly, almost burst into tears because of these words.
Only Cheng Li not only did not dare to refute a word, but also nodded silently.
She couldn't help but give Ms. Ling a thumbs up.
Sure enough, ginger has to be old and spicy.
After finishing the meal, when the dishes and chopsticks were put away, Cheng Li picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
Cheng Dingbo said: "Why are you leaving so early? You will stay at home tonight."
At this time, even Ms. Ling stopped making sarcastic remarks. It was obvious that she really couldn't bear to leave her.
Although Cheng Li was reluctant to leave, she still said, "We haven't been back for a while, and I haven't even gone to grandma's house. I just wanted to take a look tonight."
"That's right, the old couple usually stay with the nanny. Together, Rong Qi is so busy at work, you go and take a look," Ms. Ling did not hold back and let her pass.
When Cheng Li arrived at the bungalow, her grandparents were watching TV in the living room.
As soon as she saw it, Grandma Xiang stood up in surprise: "LiLi, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came, have you eaten? I asked Auntie to cook some food for you."
Grandma Xiang was afraid that she hadn't eaten yet.
Cheng Li quickly said: "I've eaten. I ate at my parents' place."
Seeing Grandma Xiang glanced outside several times, Cheng Li quickly explained: "Rong Qi has work tonight and didn't come back with me. . After two days of weekends, I will come back with him to have dinner with you."
"Okay, you are busy with work, don't worry about us," Grandma Xiang was not dissatisfied.
Cheng Li pulled her to sit down and talk.
The two chatted until it was almost nine o'clock. When Cheng Li saw the tiredness on Grandma Xiang's face, she quickly said, "Grandma, you go up to bed first."
"What about you?" Grandma Xiang was a little worried and simply said: " Why don't you stay here tonight and sleep in Rong Qi's room?"
Cheng Li smiled and said, "Rong Qi will pick me up later."
When Grandma Xiang heard that Rong Qi was coming, she wanted to wait for him.
But Cheng Li couldn't tell what time Rong Qi would come over, so he asked them to go upstairs first while he sat downstairs in the living room for a while.
The old man probably did go to bed earlier, so he didn't insist anymore and went upstairs to rest.
Cheng Li stayed in the living room until almost eleven o'clock, but Rong Qi still hadn't come back.
She didn't call to urge her, and just played with her phone for a while.
Until there was a squeaking sound outside, which was the sound of the garden gate opening.
Cheng Li put down her phone, stood up, and walked to the door.
When the door to the house was opened, Rong Qi was covered in frost. Unexpectedly, Cheng Li was standing at the door waiting for her. The warm yellow light enveloped her body, making her look hazy and gentle.
Rong Qi came over and hugged her directly.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Li thought it was because of work or other reasons.
"Wife." Rong Qi held her in his arms and suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Knowing that she came here specially to accompany her grandparents, Rong Qi was deeply moved. When he was unable to take care of the two elderly people due to work, she would help share his responsibilities even if he didn't say anything.
It seems like she has never changed.
Always so warm.
Cheng Li lay in his arms. When she heard these two words, the tips of her ears started to feel hot.
Even his heart was beating unconsciously.
He gently rubbed the back of her head with his palm, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice from the bottom of his heart: "Why are you so good?"
The au
thor has something to say:
Not everyone said that raising children and launching satellites took more than ten years of hard work. After careful cultivation, I finally waited until the transmission was successful, and then the satellite disappeared into the vast space, sending back some weak signals from time to time
- quoting a well-known online joke
