Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 428
Chapter 428 hasn’t even held hands
In July, the day is surprisingly hot, roadside flower beds in the flowers and plants are sunburnt, listless and low hanging head. Only the tall camphor tree is still lush, green shoots, emerald new leaves, dark green old leaves, from a distance, the color deep and light, distinct, like a watercolor painting.
Du Xiaoxian leaned against the window and looked extremely far away, with a hint of a delicate smile on her face. She had just gotten off the phone with Gu Nianbin, who was at the airport and would return to her in about ten hours or so. The man had said on the phone that he wanted her to be patient, get a good night’s sleep, and wake up in the morning to see him.
This is the longest period of time after their marriage to separate, a whole half a month, every day together with the people, suddenly separated, each other are not good, working hard during the day, to the evening, only through the phone to tell their feelings, although there is a video phone, but across the layer of cold screen, touching the touching, but even more miss.
Although the sun is blazing outside, the interior is always at a constant temperature of twenty-two degrees, not too cold and not too hot, the greenery in the corner is thriving, the man in the picture frame on the table has a handsome brow, Du Xiaoxian gently breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the curtains closed, and took a seat on the executive chair.
Gu Nianbin also do not know how to think, before she left, let her help deal with some day-to-day affairs, and did not give her any real position, but the identity of the boss’s wife there, no one dares to look down on her. Some important decisions still have to be made by Cheng Ruizhang, usually General Manager Cheng approved, and then brought it to her, although she does not understand it very well, but very patiently look at it, do not understand to ask Meng Zihe, not to believe that Cheng Ruizhang, she just want to learn more, sometimes Cheng Ruizhang will personally come over to explain to her why it should be done.
With Cheng Rui Chang and Meng Zi He on the side, Du Xiaoxian could be said to have made a sudden surge in business during this time. She was pleased with herself and was ready to give Gu Nianbin a surprise when he returned.
Someone knocked on the door, three times very lightly, and Du Xiaoxian answered aloud, “Come in.”
Meng Zi He pushed open the door and looked at her and smiled, “Mrs. Gu, you’re getting more and more like that now!”
Du Xiaoxian said angrily, “Didn’t I not let you call Mrs. Gu? Why are you calling again?”
Meng Zi He laughed and said, “Even Jia Nan called you Mrs. Gu, I no longer have the eye power, but I also know that I need to change my mouth, don’t be the first one to cut me when Mr. Gu comes back tomorrow!”
Yes, even Jia Nan was called to change her name, and I don’t know if Gu Nianbin said something to them behind their backs, anyway, I don’t know from which day onwards, even the most familiar staff of the secretary’s office respectfully called her as Mrs. Gu.
Du Xiaoxian opened the documents Meng Zihe had sent in, “There’s nothing here for Mr. Cheng to approve, right?”
“No, I picked out and sent over all the ones that should be approved by Mr. Cheng.”
Du Xiaoxian let out an “Oh”, flipping through the things in her hand, and casually asked, “How have you and Mr. Cheng been doing lately?”
Meng Zi He lazily said, “Just like that.”
Du Xiaoxian looked up, “What do you mean just like that? I even heard Jia Nan say she saw you guys eating together yesterday.”
Menzies He sighed, “Having eaten a few times, seen a few movies, and taken a few walks, it feels like it’s all right, but then it feels like it’s not all right.”
“What do you mean?” Du Xiaoxian was getting more and more confused, “Eating together and watching movies and stuff, that’s being in love.”
Meng Zi He hesitated and said, “Mr. Cheng is too gentlemanly. After dating for more than a month, we haven’t even held hands.”
Du Xiaoxian froze for a moment, then suddenly gave a giggle and leaned over the table and laughed, “So, it turns out that you’re not satisfied with this!”
As he was laughing, someone knocked twice on the door and walked straight in, “Mrs. Gu, what’s so funny?”
The one who came was none other than Cheng Rui Chang, Du Xiao Xian laughed harder and harder, Meng Zi He’s face brushed red and he quickly walked out.
Cheng Ruizhang was puzzled and asked Du Xiaoxian again, “What happened to Secretary Meng? Did I offend her?”
Du Xiaoxian managed to stop laughing and shook her head, “Please sit down, Mr. Cheng, you’re looking for me?”
“It’s like this, tomorrow morning I’m going to Jiang’s to attend a meeting, it’s about the ecological park, in the past it was always Mr. Gu who went, I’ve come to ask Mr. Gu what time he’ll be arriving tomorrow, to see if he’ll be in time to attend.”
Du Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you go and join us, Mr. Gu will have to have a jet lag when he comes back, so I guess he won’t come to the company until the afternoon.”
Cheng Rui Chang smiled and stood up, “Alright then, I’ll go over first.”
Du Xiaoxian called out to him and pressed her hand down, “Mr. Cheng you sit you sit, I still have something to tell you.”
Cheng Rui Chang could only sit down again, “Mrs. Gu, please speak.”
Du Xiaoxian’s lips moved, but she realized that she couldn’t say anything. Yes, how could she say that kind of thing? The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a conversation with a man who was in love with a woman and was holding her hand, and I thought, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!
Cheng Rui Chang looked at her strangely, “Mrs. Gu, what do you want to say instead?”
“This …” Du Xiaoxian had not yet said the main topic, her face fell red, “This … Mr. Cheng, when your hands are cold, what do you want to do the most? ”
Cheng Rui Zhang froze, not understanding how Du Xiaoxian asked such a strange question. But he answered seriously, “Wear gloves if your hands are cold.”
Du Xiaoxian thought for a moment and then asked, “What if it’s your girlfriend who has cold hands?”
“Then give her gloves!”
“Nobody wears gloves in this heat.”
“No hands are cold even on such a hot day!”
Du Xiaoxian was dumbfounded, wrapping her drooping hair around the back of her ear over and over again, as if she was a little nervous, her voice thin, “Mr. Cheng, when it comes to love, isn’t it true that a man should take the initiative?”
Only then did Cheng Rui Zhang realize, “Is Mrs. Gu talking about me and Secretary Meng? I was the one taking the initiative, I invited her to dinner and a movie.”
“I’m not talking about this, I’m talking about …” Although the children are so old, when it comes to matters between men and women, Du Xiaoxian is still shy.
Luckily, Cheng Rui Chang wasn’t stupid and guessed again, “Mrs. Gu, I see what you mean, you’re saying that I should have to behave in some intimate way towards Secretary Meng?”
Cheng Ruizhang said so bluntly, but let Du Xiaoxian make a big flower face, eyes do not know where to look, squeaked, “That, Mr. Cheng, you go busy, I still have … here.”
“Alright, Mrs. Gu, you’re busy, I’ll leave first.” Cheng Ruizhang felt funny, obviously a person who had been there before, when it came to this little matter, how could he be shy like that?
Obviously life was this good, but Du Xiaoxian had a bad dream at night.
It seems like in the big forest, wild beasts attacked Gu Nianbin, he was covered in blood, chased all the way by the wild beasts, and finally fled to the edge of the cliff, in front of him was an abyss of ten thousand feet, and behind him were huge wild beasts, and he was at the end of his tether, full of despair.
And she stood on the opposite side of the cliff, watching the scene, horrified, but powerless and helpless, she desperately shouted, but the man could not hear, just fear, her feet step by step back toward the edge of the cliff, and constantly loose soil slipped down, sliding to the bottom of that deep, bottomless cliff.
Her voice was hoarse, the man finally saw her, his face full of fondness, reaching out towards her, she also reached out, but how could she reach when she was so far away.
The wind was so strong that it blew up the man’s white shirt, which was so stained with blood that it could no longer be seen as white, and puffed up by the wind like a bright red flag.
The beast slowly approached, and the man kept turning his head back, shouting something from his mouth that she couldn’t hear clearly because it was torn into the air by the wind as soon as it came out.
She cried out in fear, kept crying, just kept crying, fell to her knees, and begged the gods to open their eyes.
The man suddenly smiled at her, and, like a great bird, leaped, his hand still turned toward her, as if he wanted to fly to her side, but where could he fly, and no sooner had his body risen than he was already plunging toward the abyss!
She was so scared that she kept screaming, like crazy, lying on the ground, reaching out to the falling man crying, but the man fell faster and faster, soon turned into a small black spot disappeared, the wind passed through her fingers, is a bone-chilling cold …
Du Xiaoxian was woken up by self-crying, woke up to realize that it was a dream, the sky is already bright, there is light leaking in from the side of the curtains, she hurriedly jumped out of bed, pull the curtains all the way open at once, the brilliant sunlight shines in at once, and the room is full of light.
Du Xiaoxian picked up her cell phone to check the time, the man said she would see him when she woke up. It was almost time, where was he?
Du Xiaoxian’s heart fluttered, could it be that he was in the kitchen cooking/loving breakfast for her? Usually if she got up in the morning and couldn’t find anyone, Gu Nianbin was either on the lawn for a morning jog or in the kitchen making breakfast.
She shuffled merrily into the kitchen with her slippers on, but the kitchen was empty, not even a shadow of a person.
Probably not back yet, Du Xiaoxian sighed with some disappointment, slowly walked up the stairs, went to the checkroom and looked, there was no Gu Nianbin’s luggage, it seems that indeed he has not returned yet. Probably the plane was late.
Although a little disappointed, but thinking about seeing her husband soon, Du Xiaoxian mood is not yet wrong, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs to make breakfast for herself, she is very simple at home alone, a sandwich with fried eggs is OK. Just finished the breakfast out, saw the cell phone set on the dining table ringing.
Du Xiaoxian picked it up and looked at it, but it was Gu Shanshan calling, her voice was a bit anxious, “Xiaoxian, which flight is my brother taking to come back?”
“AC913,” Du Xiaoxian was a bit strange, “Didn’t you know about it?”
Gu Shanshan was suddenly quiet for a moment, half a day without speaking, Du Xiaoxian seemed to hear her sniffling, a very small, very small sound, not quite audible.
She licked her dry lips, her voice wavering a bit, “Shan, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
Gu Shanshan cried out on the other end, Du Xiaoxian’s heart sank and she called into the phone, “Shanshan, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me. Did something happen to Nianbin?”
Gu Shanshan was crying so hard that she couldn’t speak, her voice broke, and Du Xiaoxian listened for half a day before realizing that she was saying, “Watching TV.”
She hurriedly turned on the TV and pulled up the morning news, and sure enough there was something big going on, the AC913 that had flown over from France had crashed into the open sea at three o’clock this morning.
