Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 97
Qi Zheng’s words made Shen Zhibing even more ashamed. Not only was she rejected, she was also seen through embarrassment at a glance. Although she knew that Qi Zheng would not laugh at her because of this, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
“I understand what you mean, then I… I won’t disturb you, rest early.”
Shen Zhibing pulled out the held hand, walked quickly to the sofa, tidied up her bag, and wanted to escape.
Qi Zheng followed her slowly, even if she didn’t look back, she could feel the eyes that were different from others.
Shen Zhibing suddenly threw the bag back, turned to the zither and said, “Can you dance with me again?”
Shen Zhibing thought that in this small apartment belonging to Qi Zheng, dancing with her for the last time was a happy ending.
Qi Zheng, who was in his trouser pocket, flicked his hand a few times, but didn’t speak.
Shen Zhibing smiled bitterly: “You don’t want to accept the gift, and you don’t want to listen to what I want to say. Now you don’t even want my last request?”
It was probably because of what she said just now that she woke up, and Shen Zhibing adjusted the confusion and confusion after being repeatedly rejected by Qi Zheng. At this time, apart from sadness, there is really nothing humble.
Qi Zheng tried hard to hide the nostalgia in her eyes. They were too close, and they would be seen by each other if they were not careful.
“I’m afraid that if I dance with you, I can’t bear it.”
However, Shen Zhibing knew that this was not a turning point, but her true words. People who often give up the game will reveal their cards so sincerely, because they don’t care about winning or losing, which means they don’t want to stay any longer.
There is nothing but sadness in my heart. It was probably at such a time that Shen Zhibing realized what those theories mentioned were heart-wrenchingly painful, or that it was just because of the loss that he would feel uncomfortable and unable to breathe.
She did have indescribable pain, but she didn’t expect it to be so intense.
“Then I’m leaving, you can study hard. If you need help, you can tell me.”
Qi Zheng nodded, still following her not far or near.
Shen Zhibing suddenly remembered one thing: “If you encounter an emergency and you don’t have time to inform me, you can go to Boss Zhuang.”
Qi Zheng was stunned, thinking of Zhuang Muqing, and guessing that Shen Zhibing had entrusted her favor.
“Thank you, Mr. Shen.”
The more thoughtful she was, the more clearly Qi Zheng felt that she was powerless. She understands that this is Shen Zhibing’s good intentions, but she doesn’t want to be so far away from President Shen forever.
She didn’t want them to be closely connected only when they were in bed.
Seeing that Shen Zhibing had nothing else to say, he knew it was the last moment. She looked at Qi Zheng with her head slightly lowered, her soft hair falling down, and aroused many emotions.
Probably wanting to leave some memories for herself, Shen Zhibing took two steps forward, holding Qi Zheng’s face in both hands, and before she could see herself clearly, she placed a kiss on her lips.
A short but deep kiss, then a quick release.
She glanced at Qi Zheng very quickly, trying to remember this face completely, and then whispered: “Takecare.”
Shen Zhibing opened the door and walked directly to the elevator, and did not turn around until he entered the elevator. She declined Qi Zheng’s offer to send her downstairs, she wanted to leave alone.
Until the elevator door slowly closed, all Qi Zheng saw was Mr. Shen’s straight back.
The slight tremor did not affect her elegance and beauty. Qi Zheng went back to the window and watched Shen Zhibing walk out of the building and towards the car that had been waiting for her.
Shen Zhibing opened the car door and suddenly turned to look up before getting into the car. Qi Zheng didn’t know if she saw her, but she couldn’t help but speak, and said softly, goodbye.
Goodbye, not to see each other again, but to hope that when we meet again, we will be different.
Shen Zhibing flew back to Haicheng the next afternoon. She had already compressed her work for a week, and she could no longer relax next week. When she left, she sent a message to say goodbye to Qi Zheng.
Qi Zheng didn’t go to see her off, and sat at the burger shop at the back door of the business school for an afternoon.
When Li Yunshan found her, she was completely cold when she saw that there was half a hamburger left on Qi Zheng’s table.
“Spent an afternoon here and ate so much?”
Qi Zheng got up and went to buy two cups of hot drinks and some freshly fried fries.
“Suddenly want to come and sit, not necessarily because I’m hungry.”
Li Yunshan saw that Qi Zheng’s mood was a little wrong yesterday, and thought she was tired, but after thinking about it, it didn’t seem like it, so she called her today.
As a result, when I came here, it really wasn’t quite right.
“Is it because Moon organized a party yesterday without telling you beforehand and made you unhappy?”
Qi Zheng shook his head: “she is so kind, how can I be unhappy.”
She just, more intuitively felt the gap between her and many people.
It doesn’t matter who has a gap with her, but she has the biggest gap with Shen Zhibing. That’s the person she wants to hold hands with, who she wants to love equally with her.
My thoughts went back to last night. Since Shen Zhibing left, Qi Zheng was very tired but couldn’t sleep well. In a daze, I dreamed all night, and the dream was all about her getting along with President Shen, the heart-wrenching pain, the knowing smile, the sweetness, and the helpless melancholy after waking up from the dream.
Li Yunshan didn’t ask much when she saw her moody expression, intuition that Qi Zheng was what happened last night to make this happen.
**
Lin Muyun accidentally sprained his foot on an appointment with someone last week, so Lian Ao was left to go to the business banquet tonight. Unlike other wealthy wives, she always followed her husband closely, and she basically kept Lian Ao free.
Staying at home and chatting with American friends on the phone is obviously much more interesting than going to that boring and hypocritical banquet, mainly because she knew in advance that Shen Zhibing would not go, so it would be even less fun to watch.
“Amy, what’s the origin of the Moon you’re talking about?”
“Why is your memory so bad? Didn’t you like to buy collectibles for a while? You bought a few of her sculptures before returning to China, and they are still in my house now.”
Lin Muyun remembered that there was such a thing, but she just followed the trend and bought it. She didn’t have much talent for art appreciation. At that time, Moon was just emerging as a cutting-edge artist in East America. Of course, she would not miss this opportunity.
Just buy a few works by a new artist, and maybe one day it will skyrocket.
She was in a hurry to return to China, and these collections are not her true love. It will be more convenient to sell them in the United States in the future, so they simply store them at friends’ homes.
It’s been so long, I really don’t remember.
“She is of Chinese descent who grew up in the United States, and her Chinese name is Zhuang Muqing. The elders in the family should all be in business, but the industry is not too big.”
Boss Zhuang has been deliberately keeping a low profile. Many assets are held on behalf of others. He probably saw too much wind and rain when he was young and knew the danger of big trees attracting wind.
Coupled with the fact that no one of the younger generation of the banker is willing to engage in business, it is even more unknown.
When Lin Muyun heard the name that was somewhat similar to herself, she muttered meaningfully, “You said that Qi Zheng and Zhuang Muqing are getting close?”
“It’s not too close, but compared to other people, they have more contact.”
Lin Muyun smiled knowingly, went to the United States, and even knew a friend who chose a name similar to mine.
Qi Zheng, you will come back to me eventually.
Qi Zheng didn’t accept Lin Muyun’s kindness at the beginning, and naturally she wouldn’t accept the help of her so-called American friends. But this doesn’t mean that Lin Muyun doesn’t pay attention to Qi Zheng. She lives in Haicheng, but she pays more attention to American affairs than before.
“Oh? So, Shen Zhibing went to the United States this weekend, are you sure you read it right?”
“Sister, although I haven’t returned to China for a long time, Shen Zhibing’s photos often appear on financial news, okay?”
She was so dazzling and so outstanding that no one would recognize her.
When Lian Ao came back with a little alcohol, Lin Muyun just hung up the phone. Her foot injury is not too serious, but it is absolutely impossible to maintain her manners at the banquet. He walked over slowly and took a look at Lian Ao’s state by the way.
“Drink so much? Are you particularly happy or unhappy today?”
Lian Ao threw the suit on the sofa next to him, fell down and sat down, a little irritable and ignored her.
“I’m very disappointed that Shen Zhibing didn’t go tonight, isn’t it? I already said she wouldn’t go, but you don’t believe it.”
Lian Ao was tired enough tonight, and he had to keep explaining the reason why his wife didn’t go with him. After all, they got married not long ago, and the absence of such an occasion is either a discord or a joy.
Which one, not even Ao wants to admit.
He waited for a long time without seeing Shen Zhibing, and finally believed what Lin Muyun said before going out.
Just waiting for him to go home, Lin Muyun told him another news, which made him even more irritable.
“She went to America?”
“And not to New York, but to F City.”
Lian Ao’s face darkened, and Lin Muyun poured him a glass of water.
“I really didn’t expect that she has become so active now. Did she do the same when you were together before? Leave work and run all the way to see you?”
Lian Ao frowned, not wanting to speak.
Most of Shen Zhibing’s initiative towards him was during his student days. After graduation and returning to China, although their relationship was still maintained, for Shen Zhibing, the importance of work gradually surpassed him.
“I can’t blame her. Qi Zheng has something that others don’t have, and is particularly attractive.”
Lin Muyun spoke to herself, attracting Lian Ao’s attention.
“Lonely for too long, it’s not uncommon to take the initiative to send it back. It’s just that you don’t know how to look down on a woman who has dropped prices like this.”
Hearing Lin Muyun say that to Shen Zhibing, Lian Ao was a little unhappy. But now he is even more jealous of Qi Zheng, he never thought that Shen Zhibing would take such a person seriously.
And, so seriously.
“Stop talking about such unfounded things in the future. If others hear it, they will think that we can’t even beat the family in the mall, and will play tricks to slander our opponents.”
Lin Muyun saw that he had little effect on provoking him, so he stopped talking.
Lian Ao got up and was about to go back to his room, when Lin Muyun suddenly called him: “Your grandfather sent someone to pass the word again this week.”
“What did you say?”
“It’s not like that over and over again. On the surface, it’s concerned about my foot injury, and then it turns to the topic of children.”
After they got married, they found an excuse to move out, not far from the Lian family mansion, but they did not completely escape the control of the two parents.
“I’ll explain this.”
“You don’t just talk about it and don’t do it. We agreed before we got married, and we don’t need to talk about the children.”
“Don’t worry, I never thought about having a baby with you.”
Lin Muyun sneered, as if she really wanted to live for him.
“It’s best if you remember clearly. Anyway, the pressure of not having children is mostly on women. I don’t want to share such unwarranted pressure for you, so you’d better solve it as soon as possible.”
Lian Ao’s ruthlessness towards Lin Muyun has gradually seen through, he really doesn’t want to live under the same roof with such a person.
Even the old man’s health has continued to deteriorate recently, and the doctor said that it is most likely this year.
At that time, he will be able to get rid of Lin Muyun, this is the countdown in Lian Ao’s heart.
