Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 114

Seeing Qi Zheng’s gaze wandering between himself and Hua Chifeng several times, Shen Zhibing took another two steps forward without a trace. Originally, there was some distance between her and Hua Chifeng, but this time it became more obvious.

“Mr. Shen, what’s the matter?” Seeing Shen Zhibing stop suddenly, Hua Chifeng thought she had forgotten something.

“When I meet someone I know, I’ll go over and say hello.” After speaking, she ignored Hua Chifeng and walked straight to Qi Zheng.

“It’s a good coincidence, I met him here.” After she finished speaking to Qizheng, she turned her eyes naturally to the person beside her and nodded slightly, “Hello, Miss Zhuang.”

Zhuang Muqing obviously did not expect to meet Shen Zhibing tonight. She was reminding Qi Zheng not to forget to make an appointment for her. They had a good chat just now, they drank a bottle of red wine, and they were quite excited at the moment.

“Senpai, don’t be so outspoken, if you don’t mind, just call me Moon.”

Shen Zhibing was still smiling, but not as gentle as when he looked at Qi Zheng.

“Then don’t be so polite, just call me by my name.”

Zhuang Muqing took advantage of the situation and opened her mouth: “In fact, I have always wanted to find a chance to have a good chat with you, but unfortunately last time I was in a hurry and didn’t have a chance to speak. I asked Qi Zheng to help me make an appointment with you. Now it’s better for me to make an appointment in person.”

Shen Zhibing glanced at Qi Zheng with deep meaning, and saw that her cheeks were slightly red, but there was no other reaction. Seeing that she would occasionally look at Hua Chifeng who was standing behind, her heart that had fallen instantly seemed to have picked up again.

“I’m busy this week. Let’s exchange calls and make an appointment next week.”

Zhuang Muqing was not hypocritical, and immediately exchanged phone numbers with Shen Zhibing and added WeChat to each other.

“I’m stupid and want to change the ins too. I’ll talk about it later when I have a chance.”

Shen Zhibing has always maintained a decent posture. Compared with Zhuang Muqing’s bright and cheerful, she is more like a moon goddess, cold and elegant.

“There are not many opportunities to use Instagram in China, and the circle of friends is quite good.” After saying that, Shen Zhibing glanced at Qi Zheng again if there was nothing.

It’s just that she lowered her head slightly, making it difficult to see her true expression.

It’s not a good choice to greet each other in the corridor. Hua Chifeng has not lost his demeanor even after being left to the side, but he is just a little interested in the acquaintances mentioned by President Shen.

Zhuang Muqing glanced at the time: “I have to go first, I have an appointment with a friend in the United States for a video tonight.”

Qi Zheng originally planned to send her off, but both of them drank alcohol just now, and neither of them could drive.

“Let my driver take you there, it’s safer.”

“Why am I bothering you?”

“You invite me to dinner next week, so you won’t be embarrassed.”

Zhuang Muqing readily agreed: “See you next week.”

Knowing that President Shen had arranged the car, Hua Chifeng asked thoughtfully and gracefully, “Why don’t I send you two back?”

Shen Zhibing didn’t want to, she had a rare chance to be alone with Qi Zheng, even if she was walking to take a taxi, she didn’t want to take Hua Chifeng’s car.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zheng agreed first: “Then take the light of President Shen, trouble.”

Shen Zhibing was a little annoyed, but couldn’t say anything. Qi Zheng wanted to go back, but she couldn’t keep her from going.

Getting on Hua Chifeng’s commercial vehicle, the three of them are in the same space, no matter how unfamiliar they are, they always have to greet each other.

“Miss Qi just came back from the United States, are you still adjusting to life here?”

“fine.”

“In the past two years, Haicheng has actually changed a lot, and if there is a chance, I need to go around more.”

Shen Zhibing was really not interested in this kind of boring topic, and kept observing Qi Zheng’s reaction secretly. Seeing that she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable after drinking, she didn’t want Hua Chifeng to bother her again.

So she took the initiative to pick up the topic: “Qi Zheng is originally from Haicheng. She has only been in the United States for a few years. Essentially, it will not have any impact on her continuing to live in Haicheng.”

Hua Chifeng was more interested in Shen Zhibing’s attitude, and unconsciously glanced at Qi Zheng.

Mr. Shen, who has always been cold and alienated, has a very unusual attitude towards this Miss Qi, even if it is just a few simple conversations, it has already been protected like this.

Shen Zhibing did not hide her attitude completely, as if she was not worried that Hua Chifeng would see her special treatment of Qi Zheng.

It took a long time to go from one end of the city to the other, but fortunately it was past the peak at night, and the silence in the car did not last long.

The car stopped, Qi Zheng thanked Hua Chifeng: “I’m here, thank you Mr. Hua.”

Then she looked at Shen Zhibing again, and said in a low voice, “Goodbye, Mr. Shen.”

Qi Zheng stopped the car at the intersection and did not drive directly outside the community where she lived. Shen Zhibing knew where she lived, but couldn’t help but glance at her back a few more times.

Hua Chifeng didn’t ask too much, and he just said goodbye politely after sending her back.

Compared with other suitors who follow step by step, Hua Chifeng is the one with the most sense of proportion. But for Shen Zhibing, no matter how good the conditions are, it is useless, because she has already made a choice.

After taking a shower, she wiped her half-dry hair and put on a mask, thinking over and over again about Qi Zheng’s reaction just now.

When Qi Zheng was in the restaurant, he seemed to take a few more glances at Hua Chifeng, should he be paying attention? But when she got to the car, she was so indifferent, as if she didn’t care who this person was or his relationship with her.

Shen Zhibing hung her heart, thinking about all kinds of possibilities, and trying to find corresponding evidence to support her speculation.

This kind of heart-wrenching feeling is not good at all, Shen Zhibing thought about it again and again and decided to send a message to Qi Zheng.

She has been back for so long, and they have not really contacted each other yet.

Qi Zheng’s drunkenness subsided, and he leaned on the sofa to read the industry analysis report. The appearance of Hua Chifeng tonight did make her a little unhappy, but it didn’t cause too much unhappiness.

It’s just that she instinctively didn’t like seeing others around Shen Zhibing.

She was moved by the story of the wonton shop, and what she learned from her aunt today also surprised her. She knew that Shen Zhibing didn’t let her go, but she didn’t think she would do this silently.

Suddenly received a message from Shen Zhibing asking if she was sleeping?

Qi Zheng pondered for a while with the phone in his hand, then with a smile on his lips, he answered the phone directly.

“Mr. Shen, do you have something to do with me so late?”

Her relaxed tone, which seemed to be mixed with the last trace of alcohol, made her seem playful and casual, very attractive.

Shen Zhibing tried her best to stabilize her mind, and pretended to be calm: “I want to ask you, what would you like to eat tomorrow night?”

The smile on the corner of Qi Zheng’s mouth deepened, but he refused to let Shen Zhibing notice it. She was still the same casual and even a little lazy tone just now: “I’m all right, you can decide, Mr. Shen.”

It’s the same problem that your girlfriend says casually on a date. Rao is President Shen, who has gone through countless negotiations in the shopping mall, and also feels a headache.

“I’m fine too. You haven’t come back for so long, so just choose what you want the most.”

To be honest, Qi Zheng still misses the craftsmanship of the chefs in the suburban villas. But she wouldn’t tell Shen Zhibing, at least not now.

“Oh, then I’ll tell you tomorrow after I’ve made a reservation.”

“Okay.”

This matter was settled, but seeing that Qi Zheng had no plans to hang up, Shen Zhibing naturally didn’t mention it. She held her breath, as if hoping that Qi Zheng could say something else or ask her something.

After being silent for a while, Qi Zheng really spoke again: “I went to my aunt’s house today. I know what you have done for me over the years.” After that, she paused and said solemnly, “Thank you.”

She spoke slowly but sincerely. Her voice entered Shen Zhibing’s ears from far away through the microphone, still making her numb.

In a trance, she remembered that when they were intimate, Qi Zheng also lingered in her ears, and when she was drowsy, she also whispered so softly.

It’s a pity that she didn’t want to do anything else after she was extremely happy, but now she can’t remember anything.

“Between us, there’s no need to say thank you. Besides, I’m willing to do these things, and I don’t want to get anything in return from you. You don’t need to be under psychological pressure.”

Qi Zheng sighed in the bottom of her heart. In the past few years, she has devoted herself to her career and gained growth, but after all, she has missed some. She wasn’t sure at the beginning whether Shen Zhibing would really wait for her, and she wasn’t sure if they would meet again in a few years, if the throbbing would still be there.

Time and distance are the biggest killers of feelings. How many loves that have been alive and dead will also fail in the end, not to mention their old love that has already withered and incomplete.

At this reunion, Qi Zheng knew that he had not changed. Fortunately, Shen Zhibing didn’t seem to have changed.

The original intention is still there, but the obstacles were also there at that time. Qi Zheng thought, it’s time to test their ability to break through obstacles.

The next day Shen Zhibing just went to the company when he saw Yun Fei with a gloomy face.

“What happened?”

Yun Fei handed the phone to her: “It should have been filmed when you were having dinner with President Hua last night, and the gossip news will be trending soon.”

Shen Zhibing glanced at the release time, it was released half an hour before going to work.

She hadn’t seen it when she woke up, but the photo was clearly from last night.

“Let the public relations department check which media sent it? Also, focus on checking the people behind it.”

Yun Fei was stunned: “Mr. Shen, do you suspect someone behind the scenes?”

“If it was just an ordinary paparazzi, they would either come to me to ask for money, or they would definitely release it as soon as possible to grab the popularity. It would only be released during the working hours, and it would definitely not be to wait for everyone to check in.”

“I understand, let’s do it.”

Shen Zhibing called Hua Chifeng and informed about it. But words like secret dating and intentional marriage will never affect the man more than the woman, but Hua Chifeng finally comforted her a few words.

Shen Zhibing was unmoved by such scandals, but when she faced Qizheng, she couldn’t sit still.

She didn’t receive a call from Qi Zheng until after four o’clock in the afternoon, telling her the agreed restaurant address.

Going to the appointment on time, the moment she saw Qi Zheng, her heart was finally relieved: “I thought you would say that you are not free today.”

Qi Zheng spread out the tablecloth and put it on his lap with a natural look: “Why do you think so?”

Shen Zhibing knew that she must have seen those photos and the so-called breaking news, who can hide their ears in the Internet age.

“I’m afraid you will be unhappy when you see today’s news.”

Qi Zheng raised her eyebrows, meaning: “Actually, when you reach a certain age, it’s normal to face the pressure of urging marriage.”

This is not the first time she has encountered such a thing. In the past, the ex-girlfriend’s several laments and reluctance to give in, and the wavering attitude each time made Qi Zheng feel chills.

“I won’t. For me, it’s just what I want or don’t want, no should or shouldn’t.”

Shen Zhibing’s resolute statement was within Qi Zheng’s expectations, but if she swayed a little, she wouldn’t stick to it silently over the years.

Qi Zheng shook the water in the cup, and said: “But determination alone is not enough, whether you can bear it or not is the key.”

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Zhibing very seriously: “In this kind of thing, once you let go, you will only retreat again and again, and finally force yourself to nowhere.”

Shen Zhibing was afraid of Qi Zheng’s resignation, so she couldn’t care less, she reached out and caressed the back of her hand, and reassured her position: “I will insist, you have to believe me.”

Qi Zheng smiled, but did not pull his hand away.

“The photo is fake, don’t mess with it.”

Seeing her calm reaction, Shen Zhibing realized that she had been teased just now, a little annoyed and a little embarrassed.

But what she said was serious, and she didn’t want to deny anything.

I didn’t find an opportunity to express my position before, and it’s not a bad thing to say it tonight.

“You think there’s something wrong with this too?”

Qi Zheng couldn’t help but glance at the back of his hand with a smile, and then he gently pulled it out without any trace. He picked up the water glass and took a sip: “I was there at the time, but I deliberately only photographed the two of you, probably because I didn’t look good enough to be photographed.”

I try to write as much sweet and greasy daily life as possible in the extra part, okay?
