Rebirth: Different Way - Chapter 37
When Shen Xi missed Li Mingxuan’s embrace, Li Mingxuan was also thinking of Shen Xi.
After reading the last document in his hand, Li Mingxuan relaxed, sorted the documents together, got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The branch of Li’s family in Haicheng is located on the top floor of the most famous Gemini Building on Financial Street. From the office, the view of the whole Haicheng is unobstructed, and the view is excellent. Li Mingxuan used to like this place quite a bit. Occasionally, when he was tired from business trips, he always liked to stand by the window and look at the scenery outside, but this time, Li Mingxuan couldn’t concentrate, and all that appeared in his mind was the figure of Shen Xi.
These days, he deliberately used his busy work to anesthetize himself, just to avoid thinking of Shen Xi, but this is only effective during the day.
I am used to holding Shen Xi to sleep every night, and I am used to being entangled with Shen Xi’s body every night. When sleeping alone, Li Mingxuan will always wake up inadvertently in the middle of the night, feeling the surrounding Empty silence, thoughts will arise from the bottom of my heart. At this time, Li Mingxuan could no longer fall asleep, so he could only paint Shen Xi’s eyebrows a little bit in his heart, and spend the long night relying on missing.
Although Li Mingxuan felt that he was about to go crazy, he still endured not having any contact with Shen Xi. He knew he was running away, he just couldn’t make a choice. Ever since he discovered his feelings for Shen Xi, he has been struggling in his heart. Reason reminded him to stay away from Shen Xi, but emotion allowed him to approach again and again. Li Mingxuan originally wanted to deceive himself and stay by Shen Xi’s side, as a cousin, but what his father said before he left sounded an alarm bell in his ears.
At that time, Li Mingxuan had just sent Shen Xi home, and returned to Li’s house alone to pack up the things he was going to bring on a business trip. To his surprise, his father, who always went to bed early, suddenly appeared at the door of his room, posing as a chatter.
Li Mingxuan didn’t think much of it at the time, and his father would casually chat with him like this in the past. Immediately, he put down the half-packed luggage in his hand and sat down with his father.
The topic they talked about at the beginning was nothing more than matters related to this business trip. Li Mingxuan did a good job in the preparatory work, and Li was very satisfied with this. Seeing that Li Mingxuan was fully prepared for Haicheng and his party, Father Li suddenly changed the subject, “Mingxuan, do you have someone you like?”
Li Mingxuan was suddenly shocked, the expression on his face became unnatural for a moment, he quickly reacted, and looked at Father Li casually, “No, father, why do you ask such a question?”
Li Mingxuan’s unnaturalness didn’t escape Li’s father’s eyes for a moment, but Li’s father didn’t show it. Even if he heard Li Mingxuan’s denial, he just smiled as usual. Talk about it again.
Seeing that his father still had the intention to continue chatting, Li Mingxuan didn’t dare to take it lightly, but put all his energy into it. That’s the case. When Father Li casually asked another question, Li Mingxuan was still there for the first time even though he was mentally prepared.
“Ming Xuan, you seem to have been very close to Shen Xi recently?”
What does it mean to be together, Li Mingxuan dare not think about it any longer.
Constraining the shock of the stormy waves in his heart, Li Mingxuan tried his best to look at his father calmly, and found an excuse that he didn’t believe in himself, “Mother asked me to take care of Shen Xi more.”
Father Li nodded noncommittally, not seeming to take this issue to heart. After chatting with Li Mingxuan for a few more words, he ordered him to rest early and left the room.
Li Mingxuan didn’t know if his father saw something. He always knew that his father’s intuition was very keen. The Li family relied on his father’s intuition to avoid many crises over the years, but one day It didn’t feel so wonderful that his father applied this acumen to him.
He should have thought that his frequent absences at night would definitely attract his father’s attention, and he also convinced himself time and time again that this was the last time, but every time he couldn’t control himself. Now his father’s reminder has made a choice for him, he must stay away from Shen Xi.
This incident was his own fault from beginning to end, and it was he who had inappropriate thoughts about Shen Xi. He is not afraid of facing the blame of his family, but Shen Xi is innocent, and he does not want Shen Xi to be misunderstood by his family, especially in such a chaotic situation as the Shen family.
Li Mingxuan let out a long sigh, Ye Han was right, Shen Xi’s situation in the Shen family was already embarrassing enough, he shouldn’t tire Shen Xi for his own selfishness.
Although he understood everything, when it came time to make a decision, Li Mingxuan still couldn’t make up his mind, so he kept delaying the trip to Haicheng, just to go back later.
The thoughts in his mind were complicated, Li Mingxuan irritably lit a cigarette. Unknowingly, the lights outside the window are already on, and in the hazy night, countless lights are on, and the entire Haicheng is decorated with brilliance and beauty.
The phone rang suddenly, and the ringtone cut through the silence of the room. A faint white light lit up from the table, and through the white light, the lonely figure of Li Mingxuan in front of the window could be faintly seen. Li Mingxuan didn’t look back, and let the phone rang a few times and went quiet again.
In his mind, the people who will call at this time are just a few friends. He doesn’t want to talk now, he just wants to be alone by himself.
On the other side of Zhongjing, Shen Xi hung up the phone with a gloomy face. It has been ten days, and he has not heard from Li Mingxuan for ten days.
If what made Shen Xi irritable at the beginning was not sleeping well without Li Mingxuan by his side, then Li Mingxuan’s indifference was enough to make Shen Xi understand something.
Thinking that Li Mingxuan was caring for him before his business trip, Shen Xi sneered, Li Mingxuan really thought that after getting close to him, he could leave so easily if he wanted to leave?
What Li Mingxuan is thinking, according to his character, he can guess. It was nothing more than struggling with the blood relationship between the two, worried that Shen Xi would have any disgust. Shen Xi didn’t mention it before because he thought it was good to maintain the status quo. Anyway, Li Mingxuan was by his side every night, but now, Shen Xi frowned irritably, and it seemed that he had to take the initiative.
Although she intends to take the initiative, Shen Xi is too lazy to call Li Mingxuan again. After thinking about it, Shen Xi called Old K and Fang Luowei and asked them to sing together.
Shen Xi has not been idle these days. First, she rented a large office and hung the sign of the film and television company. Secondly, let the old K hang up a manager’s position and recruit several employees. In any case, this is also his career for a period of time in the future, so he has to serve snacks. As for Fang Luowei’s previous contract, he didn’t bother too much. With the name of the third young master of the Shen family, it was just a meal.
He really had no intention of Shen Shi, and instead planned to join the entertainment industry.
When the news spread, Father Shen rarely took the initiative to contact Shen Xi once, and his words were full of exploration of Shen Xi’s movements.
Shen Xi sneered in her heart, but in front of her father, she showed a great yearning for the entertainment industry. Anyway, he didn’t want to join the Shen family, so it was good to toss a company by himself. According to his temperament that he knows nothing and prefers to play, the entertainment industry is also the most suitable for him.
Father Shen had no doubts about what Shen Xi said. Even if Shen Xi was not in the country for the past five years, the news about Shen Xi was continuously passed on to him. He has always been confident that he knows Shen Xi very well. In his opinion, Shen Xi’s behavior this time is just tired of playing with other things and changing to a new way of playing. As for what Shen Xi said about being interested in the entertainment industry, Father Shen just sneered, but he heard the news that Shen Xi’s fanfare was just for a little singer with the surname Fang.
Due to Yun Rou’s affairs, there was some small turmoil in the board of directors, especially when Gao Qiulin started to do things in secret again, and Father Shen felt a little overwhelmed. What he was most worried about was that Shen Xi would be encouraged to think about Shen Shi. Seeing that Shen Xi was having a good time by himself, Shen’s father finally felt relieved, and generously gave Shen Xi a sum of money, and went with Shen Xi himself. toss. As long as Shen Xi doesn’t care about Shen Shi, everything else follows Shen Xi’s mind. Anyway, those dividends under Shen Xi’s name are enough for Shen Xi to squander freely.
Because of Shen Xi’s tossing, old K and Fang Luowei became acquainted. Of course, Fang Luowei only knew that the man in front of him was called Wang Xinghai, a friend of Shen Xi. I don’t know that this man is the famous old K in the shadows of Zhongjing. Shen Xi did not intend to inform Fang Luowei of the identity of the old K, and he did not want to involve Fang Luowei in what he was going to do.
Received a call from Shen Xi. Old K was not very interested, but Fang Luowei was very happy. In a two-on-one situation, Old K had to be forced to appear in front of Shen Xi.
“What is your expression?” Shen Xi looked disgusted.
Old K grimaced, “Happy!”
Shen Xi snorted coldly, Fang Luowei laughed, and kindly made a relief, “Have we booked a room?”
Old K nodded and glanced at Shen Xi sadly, “Obviously people want to go to a different place to see, but Xiao Xixi is only willing to bring people to this kind of place.”
Behind the old K, the huge word “Congress” shines very brightly, Fang Luowei glanced at the old K curiously, “What’s the difference, the Congress is already the best KTV in Beijing. ah?”
Old K was about to explain, but suddenly remembered that Shen Xi didn’t seem to want to talk about other ways, and now he changed the subject haha.
Fang Luowei smiled and did not ask further.
Speaking of which, Fang Luowei sang the best, followed by Old K, but Shen Xi sang very out of tune. Old K’s original reluctance turned into a positive after mocking Shen Xi fiercely, and he held the microphone all by himself and refused to let it go.
Fang Luowei smiled and stood beside Old K to cheer him up. Shen Xi sat alone in the back and smiled slightly at the two figures in front.
Several people were having a good time here, but Li Mingxuan was rushing back to Zhongjing overnight.
After being alone for a long time, Li Mingxuan finally turned on the light in his office, packed his things and prepared to go back to the hotel.
He picked up the mobile phone on the table, Li Mingxuan remembered the previous call and opened the communication record. The words Shen Xi were reflected in Li Mingxuan’s eyes, and he was stunned there. This was the first time Shen Xi called him, and Li Mingxuan called back without thinking. Then no matter how many times he redialed, the other side never answered.
Li Mingxuan couldn’t explain his mood at this time, all the thoughts he deliberately suppressed poured out, and his reason was left behind, he just wanted to see Shen Xi immediately.
He took a taxi to the airport without hesitation. Li Mingxuan asked his assistant to book the nearest flight for him and rushed back to Beijing overnight.
On the way to the airport, Li Mingxuan still refused to give up dialing the familiar number.
In Shen Xi’s bag, the screen of the mobile phone was shining continuously, and the ringtone was so weak that there was no ripple under the huge sound in the room.
