Chapter 63 Is it delicious?
"Wait for me to come home, and catch up on your sleep if you have nothing to do." He kissed her forehead, "Remember to ask Aunt Sun to help you if you have anything."
"Yeah. Don't worry!" She nodded obediently.
Wen Baijing tied his tie slowly and leisurely, and his slender fingers deftly tied an exquisite bow tie.
He draped his suit jacket over his arm and walked over to her, ruffling the top of her hair.
"Take your medicine on time, don't be stubborn, and call Aunt Sun if you have any problems."
"Well, please be safe on the road."
Ye Zhenzhen leaned against the head of the bed, looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but give him some advice.
Cold Dew has arrived, the cool breeze is blowing, the cold dew is falling. The orchid flowers are turning white, and the lotus leaves are still green.
Wen Baijing sat down in the big chair and processed a pile of documents.
The peak season for clothing is coming. The autumn clothing season is very short each year, and winter clothing will be on the market at the end of the month.
He lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little sleepy. He dialed the internal line and asked his assistant to prepare some coffee to wake him up.
During the National Day holiday, sales data showed an overall upward trend, with significant year-on-year and month-on-month growth.
Lu Yu came to the office and reported the recent work plan and winter marketing strategy.
After the two finished talking about work, Lu Yu took a sip of coffee and looked at him.
Finally, he couldn't help but care about Wen Baijing's private life.
"Ye Zhenzhen, are you okay?" He asked proactively. He had been holding it in for several days and it was too difficult.
Wen Baijing raised his eyes, his expression was the same as usual. He knew Lu Yu too well and had expected Lu Yu to ask. This was expected.
"Weren't you here yesterday?"
Lu Yu laughed dryly twice, but did not give up trying to find out the truth. He continued to ask questions, "Are you serious?"
The two of them were in perfect harmony, and their unusual behavior was traceable. There were some things that the other person meant without them saying them.
Wen Baijing looked at him without comment. Reason and emotion are often on opposite sides.
"Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. Getting too deeply involved is not a good thing for both of you." Lu Yu was unusually serious. "Girls who love money are easy to deal with, but those who are after love are hard to get rid of. You should understand."
He was half lying on the big chair, tapping the table with his fingers, staring at Lu Yu intently.
His tone became solemn, "Who told you that Ye Zhenzhen is looking for love?"
"Are you stupid or am I stupid? Have you forgotten that you asked me some time ago if there are girls who don't love money?" Lu Yu's voice was a little anxious, without caring about the relationship between superiors and subordinates at all.
Seeing Wen Baijing frowning and a little short of breath, he said, "Be careful that you may hurt her without knowing it one day..."
Wen Baijing stood up suddenly and threw the folder to the ground.
His voice was cold, suppressing his anger, "What did you say!"
Lu Yu sighed and said meaningfully: "Based on the way you are now."
He thought he had hidden his emotions very well, but now they were exposed. Wen Baijing's body stiffened for a moment.
He realized that he had lost control, turned around, closed his eyes and calmed down for a few seconds. He had lost control because of Ye Zhenzhen more than once or twice, and exposing his weakness would be fatal.
"I don't know what charm she has that can make you like this," Lu Yu's worry was not unreasonable. He said helplessly: "It's not just your good brother who is eyeing Zhichu. Who among the competitors doesn't want the other party to go bankrupt so that they can have more opportunities?"
Wen Baijing had his back to Lu Yu, his hands on the edge of the large table, his shoulders slumped.
For a long while, no word was uttered.
The oxygen in the air is sucked away, causing chest tightness and discomfort.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Enter!"
The assistant came in and sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Wen Baijing turned around slowly, calmed himself down, and returned to his usual calm demeanor.
The assistant looked at Lu Yu cautiously and didn't dare to speak.
"Go ahead, it's okay." Wen Baijing said in a gentle tone.
After getting the boss's approval, the assistant said, "The replacement of the back-end factory has been completed, and the contract for the new back-end factory has been signed."
Lu Yu was puzzled when he heard this, but he said nothing.
Wen Baijing nodded slightly, signaling his assistant to continue.
...
The assistant finished speaking and respectfully left the office.
"I believe you must have a reason for doing this." Lu Yu changed his communication method, "Can you tell me the reason?"
It is a taboo to suddenly change partners when the partnership is still going well. It takes time for new partners to get used to each other.
"There's no reason, I just don't like him." Wen Baijing's face was calm as he opened the cigarette box and picked up the lighter.
He casually threw open the lighter, and with a crisp "click" sound, a blue flame instantly shot up. He narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly exhaled the smoke.
"You and I are not telling the truth?" This reason obviously did not convince Lu Yu, "What happened? You can terminate the contract with them, but you have to have a reason to stab them in the back, right?"
It is not Wen Baijing's style to do things that hurt others and benefit himself. He always has his reasons, but the specific reasons are not worth telling to outsiders at the moment.
Wen Baijing was in a state of grievance, so he bit the cigarette butt and continued to smoke.
A hint of bitterness spreads along the root of the tongue and wanders into the lungs.
"Whenever you want to speak, tell me. I won't force you." Lu Yu was becoming more and more confused about Wen Baijing.
They both knew that they valued the brotherhood between them and would not turn against each other because of a woman.
Wen Baijing nodded, feeling very pleased.
After seeing Lu Yu off, Wen Baijing sent a WeChat message to Ye Zhenzhen.
【Have you taken your medicine on time? 】
[Yes, I ate. Are you going home at noon? ]
Looking at her message that she replied immediately, he curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
【I won’t be back at noon.】
【Oh! Don't be too tired, take care of yourself. 】
Her lost look kept flashing before his eyes.
【Zhenzhen, I miss you. 】
Wen Baijing lay on the big wooden chair, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
He knew it was impossible but insisted on doing it. His contradictory mentality made him excited and nervous when facing the unknown future, as if he was on a gorgeous adventure.
After finishing the work at hand, he looked at his watch. For some reason, he was eager to go home. She was waiting for him at home, but he wanted to see her so urgently.
On the way home, Wen Baijing deliberately took a detour to pick up the yogurt he had ordered.
A young couple on the street, the girl lazily hanging on the boy, the two of them looking at each other sweetly as if no one is around.
He parked the car, casually draped his suit over his arm, carefully carried the yogurt, and pushed open the door.
Looking up, he was greeted by a familiar figure.
At the entrance, Ye Zhenzhen was leaning on a cane with a bright smile on her face.
He stood at the door and smiled knowingly. For a moment, all his fatigue and worries disappeared.
"Are you back?" Her voice was still sweet but not greasy, with endless aftertaste.
"Yeah, I'm back." He replied with a smile.
She used crutches to try to get closer to him.
Wen Baijing gathered his thoughts and walked towards her.
"Slow down..."
After saying this, he quickly reached out to support her.
Aunt Sun came over upon hearing the noise and took Wen Baijing's suit and yogurt with a smile.
He picked her up, and Ye Zhenzhen looked in the direction of Aunt Sun, "Don't do this..."
The afterglow of the setting sun drowned in the orange-red lake water, scattering thousands of rays of light.
The setting sun connects to the stagnant water, and the dusk fills the autumn sky.
Water birds play in the waves, flying towards the sunset with the ripples.
On the Phoenix Lake not far away, black swans were resting in the lake, crested grebes were looking for food in groups of three or two, and cattle egrets were dancing from time to time.
On the balcony, they sat in the gorgeous sunset, covered in the orange-red light of the setting sun.
She scooped up a spoonful of yogurt with satisfaction, handed it to his mouth and shook it.
"Taste it?"
He bit the spoon tightly and looked at her helpless look.
"Is it delicious?" she asked.
He hooked his finger at her, motioning her to come closer.
She widened her eyes, blinked her eyelashes, and hesitantly leaned closer to his ear.
Wen Baijing held her face and kissed her unexpectedly.
"Well..."
She held the yogurt box in one hand and a spoon in the other, standing there motionless.
The sour and sweet taste melts between lips and teeth.
After a while, he stopped taking her breath.
He asked, “Is it delicious?”
