Gentle to the Bone - Chapter 20

The next morning, when Shen Yansheng woke up, it was already three poles in the sun. She lay on the pillow, only to feel that her body was too soft to have any strength. Lu Jingce was still human. He did half of it in the study last night, and he even knew how to take her back to the bedroom to get a condom. After finishing it, I knew that I would take her to the bathroom to take a bath, and I didn’t just care about myself.

Lying on the bed, she was a little too lazy to move, so she simply fiddled with her phone. Seeing Lu Jingce’s WeChat, she couldn’t help but click into it, poked a few words on her phone and sent it.

“I’m hungry.”

At that time, Lu Jingce was holding a video conference in the study. When WeChat rang, he glanced sideways and saw Shen Yansheng’s name appearing on the screen. He picked it up, opened it and saw the message sent by Shen Yansheng, the corners of his lips could not help twitching. After sharing a smile, he called downstairs and asked the kitchen to prepare lunch earlier.

After a while, Aunt Ping went upstairs and knocked gently on the door, saying, “Miss, are you awake? Lunch is ready, you can come down to eat.”

Shen Yansheng was still lying on the bed playing with her cell phone, only after hearing this did she turn her head to look at the door and ask, “Where’s Lu Jingce?”

Aunt Ping said, “Mr. Lu is in the study.”

Shen Yansheng unconsciously lowered her face, blaming Lu Jingce for ignoring her after she was cool, and she continued to play games, somewhat tempered, “I’m not hungry, I don’t eat.”

Aunt Ping was a little embarrassed outside. After waiting for a while, she saw that Shen Yansheng had not come to open the door, so she simply went to the study to find Lu Jingce.

After a while, the bedroom door was opened from the outside, and Lu Jingce came upstairs with a bowl of noodles. When he entered the room and saw Shen Yansheng lying on the pillow playing games, he couldn’t help laughing, closed the door, and said, “It’s not that I’m hungry. Got up? Get up and eat.”

Shen Yansheng then turned around and saw that Lu Jingce came in with a bowl of noodles in a sour tone that she didn’t even realize, “I thought President Lu would turn his face when he put on his pants and didn’t recognize anyone.”

Lu Jingce sneered, walked to the bed with the noodle bowl, put the noodle bowl on the bedside table, reached for Shen Yansheng, and said, “I’m having a meeting, where do you want to go?”

Shen Yansheng was dragged by Lu Jingce and sat up from the bed. Lu Jingce brought the noodle bowl over, picked up his chopsticks, and said, “Would you like me to feed it?”

Seeing that Lu Jingce was really going to feed her, Shen Yansheng felt her ears get hot for a moment, and reached out to take the bowl and said, “Who wants you to feed, it’s not that I don’t have long hands.”

Lu Jingce looked at her with a half-smile in his eyes, and said, “Aren’t you just waiting for me to coax you?”

Shen Yansheng’s secret and careful thoughts were exposed, and his face was suddenly a little uneasy. He looked up at Lu Jingce and said, “Although I am a woman you raised, as a man, isn’t it right to coax women after going to bed?”

Lu Jingce looked at Shen Yansheng and smiled, and said, “Did I say it shouldn’t be? Didn’t I come to coax you?”

Shen Yansheng pouted, bowed her head and picked up the noodles. It was obviously her favorite braised beef noodles, but suddenly it didn’t taste good.

She didn’t know what she was unhappy about. After a long time, she couldn’t help but look up and asked Lu Jingce, “How many women have you slept with before this bed?”

Lu Jingce raised his eyebrows subtly, looked at her, and said nothing.

Seeing that Lu Jingce didn’t speak, Shen Yansheng said in a sour tone, “Which woman used the rest of the condoms you used last night?”

Lu Jingce stared at Shen Yansheng for a while, and then a smile appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand, pinched Shen Yansheng’s chin, and asked her with a smile, “What’s wrong? Are you jealous?”

Shen Yansheng glanced at him, clapped his hand away, and said, “I’m not jealous, I’m just afraid of getting sick.”

Lu Jingce frowned and said, “The more you talk, the more outrageous you are.”

He didn’t bother to tease her anymore, and said, “You’re afraid of getting sick, but I’m not afraid? Where did so many messy women come from?”

Shen Yansheng stared at Lu Jingce with a look of disbelief.

Seeing Shen Yansheng doubting him like this, Lu Jingce was angry and funny, raised his hand to pinch her face, and said, “If you don’t believe me, go ask the servant at home and see when I have brought other women home besides you? Cleanliness?”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lower lip unconsciously, and asked again, “Then why are there condoms in your room?”

Lu Jingce said, “You sleep in the same bed with me all day, and I must not prepare in advance? Do you really think I will be Liu Xiahui, and I will never touch you for the rest of my life? Or do I ask you to take medicine after talking about it?”

Shen Yansheng suddenly blushed a little, and the two of them were discussing this in the room in the morning. Her cheeks were a little hot, and she was afraid that Lu Jingce would see it, so she reached out and pushed him, “Okay, you can go to the meeting, I have dinner.”

Lu Jingce really wanted to go back to the meeting. Just now, Aunt Ping said that Shen Yansheng told her not to be hungry, so he sent a group of people over to coax her.

Seeing that Shen Yansheng was finally willing to eat obediently, she raised her hand and rubbed her head, and said, “Eat slowly by yourself, don’t think about it in your head all day.”

Shen Yansheng could not admit that he was thinking nonsense, and said stubbornly: “I just ask casually, after all, it is related to my health.”

Lu Jingce was so mad at her that he said, “When I die, I’m mad at you.”

Shen Yansheng looked up at him and said with a smile, “No way. There is a saying that good people don’t live long, and disasters will last a thousand years.”

Lu Jingce sneered, pinched Shen Yansheng’s chin, leaned over and bit her lips lightly, and said in a low voice, “Who are you scolding?”

Shen Yansheng smiled, looking at Shang Lu Jingce’s smiling eyes with a secret sweetness in his heart, and said with a smile, “Whoever takes the right seat will scold whomever.”

Lu Jingce smiled, pinched her cheek, and said, “Okay, I’m really going to a meeting. You eat well, and when you’re done eating, ask Aunt Ping to bring you something else.”

Shen Yansheng nodded, and finally said “um” obediently, “Got it.”

Lu Jingce had been busy at home all day, and had to go out to socialize at night. Shen Yansheng was very worried when he thought that he was drunk at the dinner party the night before. He sat beside the bed and watched him change his clothes, hesitant to say anything.

Seeing Shen Yansheng looking at him all the time, Lu Jingce laughed and teased her while buttoning his shirt, “What do you keep looking at me for?”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lower lip unconsciously, hesitated for a while, but couldn’t help but say, “Lu Jingce, drink less wine.”

Hearing this, Lu Jingce was stunned for a moment, then saw Shen Yansheng’s eyes gradually fill with a smile, he leaned down, put his hands on both sides of Shen Yansheng’s body, kissed her gently, with a smile in his voice, and asked in a low voice, “I’m starting to worry about me. already?”

Shen Yansheng looked at him, was silent for a while, and said, “Wanwan told me that you were entertaining the night before yesterday for my dad’s business.”

Hearing this, Lu Jingce paused for a moment, looking into Shen Yansheng’s eyes, the smile gradually faded away, and after a while, he asked her, “So you came back to dedicate yourself last night because of this?”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but stunned when she heard the words, she knew it wasn’t entirely because of this, but her mouth seemed to be glued and she couldn’t say it.

The words swirled around the throat for a few times, and the opening became, “Anyway, thank you for dealing with my father’s affairs.”

At this point, the smile in Lu Jingce’s eyes was completely gone, he straightened up, picked up the cufflinks on the bedside table and put them on, and said coldly: “You have to count with me like this, you owe me, and you will never be able to pay it back in this life. “

After he finished speaking, he took his coat and went out, without looking back at Shen Yansheng.

Shen Yansheng sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lu Jingce’s back indifferently leaving, and actually didn’t understand. She didn’t know what she said wrong, and made him unhappy.

After that night, the two fell into a cold war. Lu Jingce ignored her for several days, and slept in the study at night.

Shen Yansheng still had a little girl’s temper in her bones, and she couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask for peace. Mainly because she felt that she was right. Lu Jingce dealt with her father’s affairs. Was it wrong for her to say thank you?

Fortunately, she was also busy at the time. The company was preparing for the show, and she was taken to be a strong man to set up the venue. Every day I was busy until late to go home, and when I got home, I was disheartened, and I didn’t want to move when I fell on the bed.

Until the opening day of the show, she was arranged by her immediate leadership to welcome guests at the door. She couldn’t help frowning when she heard this, and said, “I’m a designer, why do you want me to do something like welcoming guests?”

Her current direct leader is indeed a bit of a festival with her. In their junior year, the two participated in an international design competition together. The school has always had an unwritten rule that whoever can win the gold medal in China in that competition can directly go to the headquarter.

Shen Yansheng and Zhang Siqi were both officially recommended by the school at the time, and both were popular candidates for the award. But of course, Shen Yansheng won the award, and the score was far behind Zhang Siqi. After returning to China, she will naturally get the opportunity to postgraduate research.

But the ensuing rumors once troubled Shen Yansheng. At that time, Zhang Siqi was unwilling to be defeated by her. When she went back to school, she would say that she went through the back door, that she was a young lady, and that her father put some burdens on her, not to mention the gold award in China, and it was no problem to win all the awards in Asia.

When these rumors reached Shen Yansheng’s ears, it wasn’t that she never got angry. But her temperament doesn’t like to explain. After all, her mouth is on others, and she can’t control how others lie about her.

She didn’t pay attention to Zhang Siqi at all, and occasionally met Zhang Siqi at school activities, and she was too lazy to pay attention to her. The Liangzi of the two people was probably forged at that time. In addition, Zhang Siqi did not go well in the postgraduate entrance examination, and she went all the way to postgraduate studies. After graduation, she went abroad for further study. After returning to China for two years, it was very beautiful for a period of time.

Who knew that after the accident at home, even her work was affected. After changing to a new company, it fell into Zhang Siqi’s hands. She has been suppressing her for the past few months, and she has swallowed her anger and ignored her, and asked her to set up the venue.

She looked at Zhang Siqi, her eyes were a little cold, and she said, “Zhang Siqi, if you are not as skilled, you have to work **** design. You have been suppressing me for the past few months, and I am too lazy to care about you. You are acting like this, don’t think Is it childish?”

Zhang Siqi deserves to be experienced in the workplace over the years, she just smiled lightly and said, “What if I am not as skilled as you? I am your leader now, and you have to do whatever I ask you to do.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help frowning, looking at her with a knife already in his eyes.

Zhang Siqi smiled sarcastically and said, “Shen Yansheng, do you still consider yourself a daughter of daughters? As far as I know, your mother has a bad heart and needs to take medicine all the year round. Did you fall from the second floor?”

As he spoke, he picked up the work card that Shen Yansheng had just thrown on the table, put it back in Shen Yansheng’s hand, and said with a smile, “If I were you, I should be a man with my tail between my legs now, and do whatever the leader asks you to do. Go and welcome the guests. It’s better than being fired, right? After all, your old father and mother are still at home waiting for you to support them. If you change companies, the benefits are not as good as they are now.”

Shen Yansheng gritted her teeth tightly and stared at Zhang Siqi coldly.

Zhang Siqi smiled, gave Shen Yansheng a smug smile, and turned to leave.

As Zhang Siqi said, Shen Yansheng’s current situation really makes it impossible for her to lose this job at will. There are too many places where money is needed at home, and she can’t find a better treatment than the current company.

Zhang Siqi also recognized this, so she suppressed her in every possible way.

At seven o’clock in the evening, the show opened, and the audience watching the show came in one after another with invitations.

Shen Yansheng stepped on ten centimeter high-heeled shoes to welcome guests at the door, showing a smile no matter how unhappy she was in her heart.

She was wearing a work card and stood at the entrance of the show, checking the invitations one by one.

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard, “Sheng Sheng?”

She was stunned when she heard the words, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar person.

There was a woman next to Fu Shiyu. He looked at Shen Yansheng in disbelief and asked in surprise, “Shengsheng…you, what are you doing here?”

Shen Yansheng looked at him blankly and said, “Is Fu always joking? What can I do here? Of course I’m working.”

She held out her hand in a businesslike manner and said, “Please take a look at the invitation letters of the two of you.”

The woman next to her took out two invitations from her purse and handed them over. Shen Yansheng looked at them and went back, saying, “You can go in.”

Fu Shiyu was still standing there. He looked at Shen Yansheng with regret and wanted to say something. The woman beside him took his arm and said softly, “Shi Yu, go in.”

Fu Shiyu hesitated a little, but in the end he walked into the show with the woman beside him.

Standing at the door of the show, Shen Yansheng glanced at Fu Shiyu’s back, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and then looked away.

The show officially started at eight o’clock in the evening, and as it approached eight o’clock, the audience had already entered the venue one after another.

But Shen Yansheng still had to stand there. She stood on ten centimeter high heels for more than an hour, and was so tired that she almost wanted to sit on the ground.

Lu Jingce didn’t plan to come to the show tonight, but one of the organizers of the show was a friend of his in business, so he stopped by to join him.

It was nearly eight o’clock when we arrived, and there was no one outside the show. Lu Jingce and his friends got out of the car and walked towards the exhibition hall while talking.

He didn’t see Shen Yansheng at first, but when he got close, he vaguely felt that the staff member leaning against the door with his head bowed was a little familiar.

He couldn’t help frowning, and he didn’t see it clearly until he walked up the last step.

His eyes fell on the ten-centimeter high-heeled shoes under Shen Yansheng’s feet.

Shen Yansheng was really exhausted, taking advantage of the fact that no one was leaning against the door to rest at the moment, when she heard a voice, she raised her head, and met Shang Lu Jingce’s gloomy face.

She pursed her lower lip unconsciously and said, “I’m working.”

Only then did Lu Jingce glance at the work card hanging around her neck. It was fine if she didn’t, but her face was even more ugly when she saw it. She frowned and stared at Shen Yansheng, “You are a designer, what kind of work are you doing here?”

Shen Yansheng was also a little annoyed for a while, and said, “Can’t you see? I’m welcoming the guests.”

Lu Jingce’s business friend watched it for a long time and felt that something was wrong, so he asked cautiously, “Mr. Lu, who is this?”

Only then did Lu Jingce remember that there was a friend next to him. He took a deep breath and secretly suppressed the anger in his heart. He turned to his friend and said, “My girlfriend.”

He added, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany President Wang to watch this show tonight. We’ll talk about business matters another day.”

The most important thing for people in the business field is eyesight. When the man called President Wang sees this situation, it is not easy to disturb him. He quickly smiled and said: “Okay, okay, you are busy, I will invite you to tea another day. “

Lu Jingce let out an “um” and waited for the others to leave before looking at Shen Yansheng again.

Shen Yansheng felt a little better when she heard that Lu Jingce had just introduced her to others that she was his girlfriend. Seeing Lu Jingce staring at her again, he said, “Aren’t you going in?”

Lu Jingce looked down at her feet. The corridor was well lit, and Shen Yansheng’s originally white and tender toes were squeezed out of blood blisters by the high heels.

Seeing that, Lu Jingce frowned even more, reached out and took off the work card that Shen Yansheng was hanging around his neck, and threw it on the table.

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but froze for a moment and said, “Why, I still have to work.”

Lu Jingce was extremely annoyed, he squatted down, raised one of Shen Yansheng’s feet, and said, “Take off your shoes.”

Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, subconsciously resting on Lu Jingce’s shoulder and gently took off his shoes.

After taking off the shoes, the appearance of blood blisters being squeezed out of the high heels on several toes looked even more serious. Lu Jingce frowned tightly, not daring to touch it. Putting one foot off the shoe on the ground, he helped Shen Yansheng take off the other shoe, and said, “If your foot is worn like this, you don’t feel any pain?”

Shen Yansheng didn’t speak, just looked at Lu Jingce quietly.

The lights in the corridor hit Lu Jingce, she saw Lu Jingce squatting on the ground to help her take off her shoes, and she felt warm in the bottom of her heart unconsciously.

Lu Jingce took off both shoes for Shen Yansheng, picked up the shoes, and then hugged Shen Yansheng horizontally.

Shen Yansheng subconsciously wrapped her arms around Lu Jingce’s neck, and seeing Lu Jingce walking out with her directly hugging her, she said, “I’m still working.”

Lu Jingce said with a cold face, “Do you still plan to continue doing this **** job?”

Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce’s cold and handsome face and felt a little sweet for no reason. She looked at Lu Jingce for a while and couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you ignoring me?”

Lu Jingce glanced at her like a knife.

Shen Yansheng smiled, raised her head and kissed Lu Jingce actively, and said, “What happened last time, even if I was wrong, don’t ignore me.”

Lu Jingce had been fighting with her for a while, and she was still uncomfortable. A few days ago, she went to the crew to visit Wanwan’s class and talked to Wanwan about it. Wanwan analyzed it for her like this, saying, “You are stupid, man. I would also like to hear nice things. Lu Jingce socialized for your father’s affairs, but not to hear you say thank you. You said that, not to make it clear that I slept with you, but because you helped me. It’s no wonder he’s happy. .”

Lu Jingce carried Shen Yansheng into the car, then sat in and closed the door.

After Shen Yansheng got into the car, she took the initiative to straddle Lu Jingce, put her arms around his neck, looked at him seriously, and said, “I was really wrong.”

Lu Jingce looked down at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce seriously, and said, “I said thank you to you that day because I really thank you for dealing with my father’s affairs, but it wasn’t just because of this matter that I was with you that night.”

Lu Jingce looked at her, couldn’t help but smile, and asked her deliberately, “Which one?”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lips and glared at him.

Lu Jingce smiled, and finally raised his hand to wrap his arms around Shen Yansheng’s waist, looked at her and asked, “So you took the initiative to sacrifice yourself that night, not only because of this, but also because of what? Drunk?”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lips and suddenly blushed a little. Fortunately, the light in the car was dim, and Lu Jingce should not have seen her blushing. She leaned closer to his ear, and in a voice that only Lu Jingce could hear, she said softly, “Lu Jingce, I seem to like you a little bit.”

The voice was light, but enough for Lu Jingce to hear clearly. He paused slightly, raised his head, looked at Shen Yansheng with a smile in his eyes, tightened his arms around her waist, lowered his head to kiss her lips, and said in a low voice, “Say it again.”

Shen Yansheng didn’t want to say any more, closed his eyes and concentrated on responding to Lu Jingce’s kiss.
