1987 My Era

Chapter 625,

Dinner was quite lavish, consisting of four dishes and a soup.

To his surprise, there was also a pig's blood sausage.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece, and put it in his mouth. The taste was just right, bringing back childhood memories. He then picked up another piece and threw it into his mouth, asking, "Where did this come from?"

Huang Zhaoyi served him a bowl of rice, saying, "It was bought from a farmer in Shaoshi."

Li Heng asked, "You even made a special trip to Shao City."

Huang Zhaoyi acquiesced.

Li Heng looked at her for a while before speaking: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Do you have any wine? I need to have some wine with such good food."

Overjoyed at the compliment, Consort Huang got up, grabbed a bottle of red wine, and poured it for him herself.

The two then drank one glass of wine after another, chatting about the progress of McCormick's development.

During this time, Li Heng remembered Yang Yingwen's request, took out 1500 yuan from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Send someone to secretly deliver this money to Yang Yingwen's mother."

Huang Zhaoyi understood immediately, put the money away, and said, "I'll have my assistant do it."

Li Heng agreed, and then added, "My grandma is staying at my aunt's house in Lengjiang. Her birthday is in three days. Could you please send her a gift?"

Seeing that he trusted her as always, Huang Zhaoyi couldn't be happier to do more work for him: "Okay."

After chatting about trivial matters, the two continued eating until half an hour later when they finally put down their chopsticks.

Huang Zhaoyi brought over a basin of hot water and used towels and tissues to wash his hands and lips. After a while, she asked, "What are the plans for tonight?"

Li Heng turned his gaze to the window. "It's already dark, we can't go anywhere. Come with me for a walk later. I ate a bit too much today, I need to digest."

Huang Zhaoyi said, "If you want to work out, I have a gym on the first floor."

His gaze swept over her, and Li Heng walked towards the door first: "No need, I'll save my energy for tonight."

Watching his retreating figure, and hearing him joke with her for the first time, Huang Zhaoyi blushed, but felt exceptionally happy.

What does this mean?
This means that the man has truly accepted himself.

This means that she has a certain status in this man's heart. Even if her mother has committed a major taboo against him, she still has a chance to make a mistake and has not been completely destroyed by him.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhaoyi took down the long trench coat hanging on the coat rack by the door, put it on, and followed him out the door looking beautiful.

Because we don't know where to go?
They were afraid of running into people they knew.

The two simply drove along the Xiang River, neither of them speaking for a while, and the car was unusually quiet.

When the car drove out of the bustling area and into a deserted wasteland, Huang Zhaoyi stepped on the brakes, glanced at her watch, and asked him, "It's almost 9 o'clock, shall we go back?"

Li Heng gave an irrelevant answer, staring at the rearview mirror and asking, "Is that car following far behind yours your bodyguard?"

Consort Huang glanced back and said yes.

Li Heng said, "Keep that car away from us."

Huang Zhaoyi didn't understand, but she did as she was told, turning on the car headlights and flashing them three times.

Seeing this, the car behind immediately reversed, stopped in a secluded spot, and turned off its engine.

After she finished doing all this, she looked at him.

Li Heng pointed to the back seat, "Let's go to the back."

Huang Zhaoyi glanced at the back seat, and her heart immediately raced, almost jumping out of her mouth.

But she didn't argue. She got out of the car, opened the back door, sat down, closed the door, and waited for his next move with a confused look on her face.

But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see the man make a move, so she turned her head to look over.

Li Heng patted his thigh, "You do it."

The simple words "Come here" completely broke Huang Zhaoyi's 30 years of composure, but she did not refuse. She tied her hair up again with a hair tie, revealing her fair swan neck, and then sat halfway up and straddled his lap.

As their physical intimacy deepened, the two, who had just made love at home, drove with practiced ease, quickly making the car dance.

About an hour later, Huang Zhaoyi convulsed and collapsed into his arms, her eyes glazed over, saying, "It will take at least half a month for my legs to recover."

Li Heng chuckled, reached out and stroked her back, and asked softly, "Do you know why I chose to be in the car?"

Huang Zhaoyi remained silent for a while, then tenderly wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering warmly, "I know."

Li Heng looked down at her: "Although our first time was an accident, you are now my woman. Some things..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

However, Consort Huang understood.

Their first time was in the car, and tonight the absurdity of the past was repeated. She understood: this man wanted this matter to end here, to put a period to it.

She understood even more clearly: this man wanted her to forget about drugging him so that she could be upright and honest in front of him.

For no apparent reason, tears welled up in the eyes of the actress in blue, and she choked up a little.

Li Heng reached out and gently rubbed around her eyes for a while, then sighed, patted her shoulder lightly, and ultimately said nothing.

Huang Zhaoyi thoroughly enjoyed his intimate gestures, a mutual understanding that spoke volumes without words.

More than ten minutes later, the woman in blue perked up and whispered in his ear, "Let me serve you one more time."

Li Heng was taken aback: "Didn't they say it would take half a month to recover? You can still manage?"

Huang Zhaoyi's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "I want to repay you."

Li Heng asked in surprise, "What are you repaying me for?"

Huang Zhaoyi twisted her body in his arms, and whispered into his earlobe, "To repay your kindness in recognizing my talent."

A favor of recognition?

Li Heng blinked, and for a long time afterward, he was content to enjoy her gratitude for his kindness.

Well, to be honest, with the babbling brook and the beautiful Peking Opera singing voices resounding through the night sky, he experienced the ultimate pleasure for a man.

That night, the two of them didn't know when they got home, but they didn't sleep at all. They tossed and turned in the bedroom all night until dawn before finally getting some rest.

Halfway through her sleep, Huang Zhaoyi suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head and listened to his even breathing for a while. Finally, feeling a little uneasy, she secretly got up, unlocked the bedside table, took out the morning-after pill, and took it again as prescribed.

After taking her medicine, Huang Zhaoyi locked the drawer, stood up and looked him over for a while. Seeing that he seemed normal, she lay back down on the bed and snuggled up to him, falling into a deep sleep.

Around noon, Li Heng woke up and opened his eyes to see Da Qingyi, who was disguising herself in front of the vanity mirror. He asked, "When did you get up?"

Huang Zhaoyi turned to look at him: "We just got up, are you hungry?"

Li Heng's stomach was rumbling, but he didn't mince words: "A little."

"I'll go cook, you lie down a little longer," she said. Li Heng agreed.

After watching her leave, Li Heng reached out and rummaged through the bedside table, finding a book to pass the time.

During this time, the phone on the bedside table rang. He subconsciously reached out to answer it, but only halfway through did he realize that this was Da Qingyi's house, so he withdrew his hand.

Fearing that she might make too much noise while cooking in the kitchen, Li Heng got out of bed to call her.

"Your phone."

"okay."

Huang Zhaoyi washed her hands and ran to answer the phone.

She returned shortly afterward, her expression slightly hesitant.

Sensing something was wrong, Li Heng asked, "What's wrong?"

Huang Zhaoyi said, "This is my eldest sister's phone number. She said my mother is coming over."

Li Heng asked, "Coming to Changsha?"

Huang Zhaoyi said yes.

Li Heng asked, "When?"

Huang Zhaoyi said, "We've already arrived in Changshi. My older sister called secretly when my mother wasn't looking."

Li Heng was stunned. "Did she know I was with you?"

Huang Zhaoyi also had this guess, but she didn't want to say it out loud.

After exchanging glances for a while, Li Heng returned to his bedroom and began to change his clothes.

Huang Zhaoyi followed him in and watched his every move. She had finally been looking forward to a moment of favor from her husband, but her mother suddenly showed up, which made her very upset.

After getting dressed, Li Heng said, "I'll go look around somewhere else first, and I'll come find you again when I have time."

Knowing that now was not the time for him to meet his mother, Huang Zhaoyi took two steps closer, opened her arms and hugged him. Smelling his familiar scent, the grievances in her heart were slightly relieved.

Li Heng stood still, watching her quietly.

He didn't respond until she looked up and kissed him.

Before parting, they shared a passionate kiss, completely absorbed in each other's presence. Their two red lips intertwined, instantly intensifying the ambiguous atmosphere in the bedroom.

The man's visit was incredibly rewarding for her, further strengthening her resolve and courage on the path of love.

After a long while, the two mouths parted.

Huang Zhaoyi reached out to straighten his collar and asked, "Where are you going? I'll take you."

Li Heng originally wanted to go to Hubei University to see Jiang Yue and Song Shi, but after thinking it over, he gave up and decided to wait until next time, or until Song Yu came back.

He asked, "Aren't you going to wait at home for your aunt and the others?"

Huang Zhaoyi was a little annoyed with her biological mother, saying, "It's okay, I didn't plan to see her today."

Li Heng was speechless, then said, "Then take me to the airport."

Huang Zhaoyi was not surprised, but felt a little disappointed, though she did not show it on her face: "Okay."

On the way to the airport, the two people in the car didn't say much, and the atmosphere was rather quiet.

"Don't be too busy, take care of your health. I'll come see you when I have time," Li Heng said as the car arrived at Huanghua Airport.

Huang Zhaoyi put on a mask and sunglasses, got out of the car, personally used her connections to buy him a plane ticket, and personally escorted him to the waiting room.

Before parting, she said, "I will take care of things at home."

This is a guarantee for her.

Li Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I believe in you."

Huang Zhaoyi gazed at him through her sunglasses without saying a word.

Li Heng is gone.

Her heart followed suit, and she felt like a deflated balloon. From sudden joy to disappointment, she had once again experienced a rollercoaster ride in her life.

As a plane flew overhead, Da Qingyi looked up and stared in a daze for a long, long time until the plane disappeared into the blue sky. Only then did she come back to her senses, start the car, and head towards Xiangtan.

That's right, it's Xiangtan, not back to the city center.

Her mother has repeatedly ruined her plans, so she's decided to give her mother a hard time.

On the plane back to Shanghai, Li Heng entered a state of detachment, devoid of joy or sorrow.

A sophisticated woman beside him had been secretly observing him. Finally, she couldn't resist writing a note and handing it to him: "Hello sir, can we be friends?"
Li Heng glanced at the note, then tilted his head and tentatively asked, "Do you know me?"

The sophisticated woman smiled and shook her head. She had struck up a conversation with Li Heng simply because his appearance was so appealing and strongly attracted her.

Seeing this, Li Heng, in an attempt to intimidate her, blurted out, "I was just released from prison."

The sophisticated woman's smile gradually faded, leaving her bewildered and staring at him for a while with some disbelief. She couldn't figure out what was going on either.

The sophisticated woman asked, "So young and already released from prison? And traveling around by plane all by yourself?"

Li Heng smiled at the other person without offering any explanation.

The sophisticated woman was also a clever one. Instead of pressing him for details, she thought for a while and then wrote another note, which she then handed to him.

Li Heng scanned the QR code, and a contact number appeared on the slip of paper.

Seeing the other person looking at him expectantly, Li Heng thought for a moment, took the note, put it in his pocket, and closed his eyes to rest.

Upon arriving in Shanghai, he followed the flow of people off the plane and headed towards the exit.

The elegant woman followed closely behind him, but not too close, keeping a distance of four or five meters.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Chen Jing, the manager of Fuchun Xiaoyuan, was waiting for him at the exit.

Li Heng asked, "Why are you here?"

Chen Jing helped carry the luggage: "Sister Huang informed me."

Li Heng nodded and followed them toward the parking area.

After walking for a while, Chen glanced back at the elegant woman behind him. "Is she an acquaintance of Mr. Li?"

Li Heng said, "No, we don't need to worry about her."

Chen Jing immediately understood and guessed that the woman behind her had probably taken a liking to Mr. Li on the plane.
