Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 96

Qi Zheng looked at the slender and exquisite gift box, which was obviously specially packaged, but the brand was temporarily unrecognizable from the outside. But she didn’t guess what it would be and which brand it would be. She had already experienced it several times in Zhuang Muqing’s small manor tonight.

Shen Zhibing’s eyes were shining brightly, and she sent the gift to Qi Zheng with anticipation, hoping that she would like it, not just a polite remark. She asked Yun Fei, and dragged Yu Xinyan to go shopping to choose, and finally decided to choose this one.

Although she doesn’t know enough about Qi Zheng, she hopes to win a chance for herself on this birthday. This gift is not only an expression of money, but also a carrier of her heart.

However, Qi Zheng remained silent.

“You… don’t like it? Or, don’t want it?”

Shen Zhibing was a little nervous, no matter which answer it was, it was a blow to her.

Qi Zheng looked at the slender and white fingers on the edge of the gift box, which turned slightly red due to the force, but did not retreat half an inch.

“no.”

Hearing what Qi Zheng said, Shen Zhibing’s slowly falling heart suddenly regained its vitality. She couldn’t help laughing and took the initiative to open the gift box for her.

After unpacking, the brand printed on the surface of the brocade box is obvious. Now, Qi Zheng knew what it was.

Shen Zhibing focused on unpacking the gift, for fear that Qi Zheng would reject it if it was too late. The last time Qi Zheng refused to put away the bracelet is still vivid in his mind.

She had more or less lingering fears, afraid to perform that scene again.

The gift box was opened, and a watch with a simple but not ordinary design appeared in front of the two of them.

Shen Zhibing was obviously quite satisfied with the gift. She took the watch out of the box and said, “This is a classic model from Jaeger-LeCoultre. It’s not very exaggerated, but I think it’s especially suitable for you.”

This is the classic version from many years ago, and this year, a commemorative version has been released.

Qi Zheng moved his lips and kept looking at Shen Zhibing. Something stuck in her throat, she wanted to say it, but couldn’t.

Shen Zhibing noticed that her reaction was a bit unusual, but subconsciously she didn’t want to face it, and seeing that Qi Zheng didn’t directly refuse, she took her hand and put on her watch.

She looked at the watch and finally found a suitable owner, and said with satisfaction: “It really suits you. I thought about it when I chose it, but when I actually put it on, I found out that the effect is better.”

Qi Zheng followed her line of sight and landed on the newly added gift on her wrist. The dial was neither too small nor too small, and it belonged to a neutral model. It is not as rough and domineering as men’s watches, nor as small and soft as women’s dials.

Moderately sized, understated and simple, it doesn’t make it a classic.

Qi Zheng carefully slid his fingers across the dial, as if to feel every inch of the edge. She looked closely, clearly enjoying the gift.

Shen Zhibing felt happy when she saw that she liked it. This is completely different from the feeling when she asked Yun Fei to buy a bracelet for Qi Zheng in the past. At that time, she only cared about whether the thing was sent out, but didn’t care how Qi Zheng felt after receiving it.

But now, she cares.

When she was choosing, she had already thought many times whether Qi Zheng would like it or not.

However, this joy did not last long. Shen Zhibing watched helplessly as Qi Zheng caressed the watch, and resolutely took it off and put it back in the box.

“Mr. Shen, I can’t ask for this gift.”

Shen Zhibing was so stunned that he didn’t even have time to take his usual calm demeanor into consideration.

She asked eagerly, wanting to know the reason, but she was afraid that the answer would be a decision that would leave her no room for change.

“This gift is too valuable. Even if this watch is based on my previous position in the company, I have to keep it for more than two years.” Qi Zheng looked at her with indescribable annoyance and powerlessness, “This is for me. Said, it’s too extravagant, I can’t afford it.”

It’s not that she can’t make the money, but she won’t spend all the money she has saved over two years on a watch. She knew that Shen Zhibing wasn’t trying to show off with money, it was just Mr. Shen’s normal consumption level.

Or maybe, people from rich families like them don’t need to care about the price since they were young, they just need to know whether they like it or not.

Zhuang Muqing was like this, and so was Shen Zhibing.

Qi Zheng felt the gap for the first time in the small manor tonight. Those gaps that she didn’t care about before were tormenting her like needles.

She felt that this was very bad. The gap between people was already huge, so why should she care about it. But she found that she couldn’t do it, because her heart was opened again.

Because of the inability to provide a stable and solid material guarantee for the lover, the once splendid and splendid feelings were dissipated in reality. She knew that she couldn’t blame anyone, but the reality was like this, and she didn’t want or dare to repeat the same mistakes.

Shen Zhibing doesn’t need her to support, and can even support her in turn, including her entire family. But this is not what Qi Zheng wants. She doesn’t want to have the same wealth as President Shen, but she hopes that she can at least have the ability to protect her.

Just like last time, when faced with so many pressures and difficulties, Shen Zhibing could rely on her instead of pushing her away as soon as possible, excluding it from the consideration of joint combat.

Qi Zheng thought, she was a little greedy. Not only did she want Shen Zhibing’s people and heart, she also wanted her life.

It turned out that she still cared about the hurt and lessons from the failed relationship in the past. Qi Zheng thought that if she no longer loved anyone, she would not be hurt again. But now, she has someone who wants to walk together again, but painfully finds that she still has no ability to shield the other party from the wind and rain.

The reality is cruel, and it is useless to be gentle and considerate. Gentleness that cannot withstand wind and rain is the most unrealistic reliance.

Qi Zheng didn’t say anything mean or cold words, but her refusal attitude made Shen Zhibing feel very hurt and very… uneasy.

“If you think the price of this watch is too expensive, then I… I’ll change it now.” Shen Zhibing turned around, as if she really wanted to buy a new one now.

Qi Zheng grabbed her, and her fingertips clasped Shen Zhibing’s wrist, exchanging their temperature.

I don’t know if it was a hallucination, but Qi Zheng could feel the extremely fast pulse, and she was reluctant to let go.

“It’s very late now, and the mall has already closed. I have your heart, so I’ll give you the gift.”

Shen Zhibing lost some strength, and with a frustrated tone that she didn’t even know, she glanced at the gift that was placed in the corner of the desk by Qi Zheng: “Is it because you have received too many other gifts tonight?”

So, I don’t care about it anymore.

Qi Zheng sighed softly and said in a low voice, “It is a very precious gift to me that you can come in person.”

Shen Zhibing suddenly turned around and looked at Qi Zheng. She hesitated, struggling several times. In fact, in addition to giving gifts, she has other things to say. But she has been looking for opportunities, thinking that after Qi Zheng accepts the gift, she will be able to speak logically.

Who knows, Qi Zheng refused even the watch, I’m afraid she won’t accept what she has to say.

She was just hoping there would be a chance to mend the relationship and let them try to start over.

Seeing her tangled and embarrassed look, Qi Zheng roughly guessed what she was thinking.

She gently pushed the watch into Shen Zhibing’s hand: “Mr. Shen, I have worn the watch, it is very beautiful, I like it very much.”

Shen Zhibing still stood there absentmindedly, looking at her blankly, forgetting to give her any reaction.

Qi Zheng felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she could only endure it and try to keep calm.

“let it go.”

She was tired, and her body was exhausted to the limit due to the high-intensity rush work these days. The various gaps she experienced tonight reminded her of her powerlessness a long time ago, and her experience of attending various occasions with President Shen.

In fact, Shen Zhibing took good care of her and never let her make a fool of herself on such an occasion. Come to think of it, she also knows that she lacks the experience to deal with these.

If one day, she and Mr. Shen can stand side by side calmly, without worrying about whether the other party can adapt to the surrounding environment, that is the ability to truly trust each other.

Qi Zheng felt that she was starting to be hypocritical and caring, and all the details that were nothing before were turned out and became the source of her concern at the moment.

Shen Zhibing really felt Qi Zheng’s experience that night. From being full of anticipation to falling into the ice cellar, it probably only took a few words. Qi Zheng didn’t say anything as sharp and hurtful as hers, but it was enough to make her heartache unbearable.

“I’m sorry, I made you so sad that day.” Shen Zhibing lowered her eyes, she finally understood how much courage Qi Zheng used that day to support her leaving her room.

Qi Zheng wanted to hug her very much, but she was reluctant to let go because she was afraid of hugging her.

Shen Zhibing clenched her hand tightly by her side, her fingernails almost pierced the skin of her palm, but she didn’t feel any pain at all.

Shen Zhibing didn’t even dare to look at Qi Zheng, she didn’t know how to face her. On the way here, she thought about being rejected, but she didn’t expect to even have a chance to speak, and she already got the answer.

According to her character, it was time to say goodbye in a cool and indifferent way, and then leave resolutely. But Shen Zhibing didn’t want to leave.

She even wanted to stay here, wait a little longer, and Qi Zheng might change her mind after a while.

Seeing that her aura was completely weakened, like a flower that was too delicate to survive on its own, Qi Zheng felt very uncomfortable.

“Mr. Shen, you shouldn’t be like this.”

With her pity and distressed tone, Shen Zhibing saw a glimmer of hope. She obeyed her heart and wanted to tell Qi Zheng that sentence.

“Qizheng, can we…”

Qi Zheng covered her lips lightly with her fingers, blocking the words behind her.

“Not now, so please don’t say it.”

Shen Zhibing’s eyes darkened completely, and the whole person lost strength. She tried to stand still, but gradually felt powerless.

“So, I’ve run out of chances, right?”

Shen Zhibing’s voice was very low and light, probably because he didn’t expect nor did he want to hear the answer from Qi Zheng. After all, it was kind of cruel to her.

“What I like is Mr. Shen, the one who insists on working even when he is sick, the one who is strict and unsympathetic, the one who doesn’t like to drink sober soup and refuses to say it clearly but still shouts uncomfortable, the one who always insists on what he thinks Shen Zhibing.”

For the first time, Qi Zheng said this in front of her, frankly and truthfully, she was indeed attracted to such Shen Zhibing.

Shen Zhibing never knew that in Qi Zheng’s eyes, he looked like this, and it sounded pretty good.

She tried to raise a smile, hoping to respond to Qi Zheng’s compliments to her.

“Don’t be humble for me.”

She felt Shen Zhibing’s sincerity tonight, so she didn’t get angry or complain. It’s just that she is more awake, and they don’t have the ability or conditions to really be together.
