Beijing-Hong Kong Confession
Chapter 14: Calm to the Extreme
The man was a head taller than her. Zhu Xia looked up at him with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Her clear eyes were cast on him through the dim night, without knowing the truth.
Although Zhu Xia is calm and rational beyond his age, he does not always keep a calm face in all situations.
On the contrary, her expressions are so vivid and lively that they are more moving than any veteran actor.
It is like the sunrise over Victoria Harbour in the early morning, exuding grand and vigorous vitality, and under the morning light, a more dazzling core gathers.
He Lianzhou slowly exhaled a thin puff of cigarette, suppressed the itchiness in his throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "You picked up my cufflinks, I should thank you both morally and logically."
Zhu Xia was still holding the cufflinks engraved with the letters 'ZX'. She glanced at Chen Shao in the driver's seat and found it strange that the boss was outside the car and the special assistant was inside.
"Not so polite."
He Lianzhou looked at her with his eyelashes drooping, "I'm only rude to my girlfriend."
His tone was cold, but his voice was pleasant, and it sounded even more low-pitched and pleasant in the quiet night.
It just sounded like she was trying to get closer to him.
Never mind, he hasn't just been like this today.
He always goes too far.
Zhu Xia was speechless for a moment, but then reacted quickly and calmly, "I picked up your cufflinks, and you gave them back to me, so the two of us canceled each other out."
He Lianzhou didn't force her. He slowly put out his cigarette, took the cufflinks from her hand, and his fingertips accidentally stroked her palm.
Instinctively, Zhu Xia curled his fingers slightly.
He Lianzhou seemed to be unaware of it. He looked at her calmly and asked in a low voice, "You're not going back?"
"... Back, bye."
Zhu Xia went to the floor without taking the elevator.
Yangriju has good property and complete facilities, including a gym, swimming pool, piano room, basketball area, etc. It is well managed, clean and private.
She was close to the piano room, so she turned and went in.
Through the glass window, you can see the familiar black car speeding away into the dim and noisy night.
He Lianzhou was calmer than she expected.
Calm to the extreme.
This is fine, after all, she doesn't want to conflict with him.
The cell phone rang, Zhu Xia took it out and saw the three words "Song Chengyu" clearly displayed on it.
The call was connected and the other party called her: "Xia Xia."
"it's me."
Zhu Xia walked to the quiet balcony to answer the call.
"What are you doing?" Song Chengyu's clear voice sounded a little gloomy, as if he didn't sleep well.
"Answer the phone." Zhu Xia replied.
Song Chengyu was not angry at her perfunctory attitude. Instead, he smiled with interest and said, "I will take time to accompany you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will arrange it in advance for you to spend it as you wish."
"No need." Zhu Xia touched the railing and looked into the dark sky in the distance. "Just stay with grandpa. I will go back at the end of the year."
The call was delayed, and after a long while, the other party finally spoke: "Xia Xia, don't you miss me after not seeing me for half a year?"
Zhu Xia: “I…”
He didn't give her a chance to finish her words, and said in a slightly doting tone, "Be obedient. I'll fly to New York to see you then. Take care of yourself recently and don't get sick."
"Come to me anytime if you need anything."
After saying this, he hung up the phone without giving any room for refusal.
Zhu Xia gently rubbed the edge of the phone with his fingertips, and in a moment, he turned off the screen.
The original plan was to finish work in New York at the end of the year, return to Beijing, and then get engaged and married.
Song Chengyu didn't know that she had left New York early. If he went there, he would definitely be exposed.
She couldn't leave the port area for the time being.
-
The true colors of the port area appear after nightfall.
The high-rise buildings lined up one after another are illuminated by the lights, and the lights are trembling on the surface of Victoria Harbour.
The midsummer breeze blows across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and reaches the He family's old residence on the top of Victoria Peak.
The business Maybach drove smoothly to the top of the ramp and came to flat ground.
The car stopped and the gaunt-looking butler stepped forward to open the door. He Lianzhou walked in without looking around. Along the way, the servants bent their heads in an orderly manner.
Reserved and respectful.
In the living room, He Chuyin was wearing a French pastoral style floral dress, holding a teacup elegantly, looking at the photo frame hanging on the long table beside the fireplace.
Hearing someone calling "Young Master", she turned around to look.
Sure enough, He Lianzhou was seen striding in with his long legs.
Second uncle He Yanmin is in the hospital, nothing serious is happening, Chen Shao has already called to inform him.
The man sat down on the expensive leather sofa, and He Chuyin said, "Brother, grandpa has taken the medicine prescribed by the doctor and is resting."
He Lianzhou half-closed his eyes, rolled up his sleeves slowly, and responded calmly.
The middle-aged maid in white shirt and black pants served the tea and left as usual without saying a word.
He Lianzhou's shirt sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, and his left hand, wearing a watch, looked perfectly slender.
In one minute, He Chuyin glanced at him no less than ten times, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
He Lianzhou took a sip of tea, crossed his legs casually, and said calmly: "Speak."
He Chuyin cleared her throat and asked cautiously, "After the silent auction ended, Uncle Cai privately bought a lot of jewelry for the daughter of the Lin family. Are you interested in Lin Jiayue?"
The man showed no emotion and suggested indifferently: "If you have nothing to do, why not go and study."
He Chuyin immediately said: "Not idle!"
She smacked her lips, remembering the task He Jihua had given her - to help her 29-year-old brother get married as soon as possible.
"Grandpa is worried about your marriage. What kind of girls do you like? Aren't there any daughters of giants in jewelry, light industry, and medical care that you are attracted to? And the girls at the noble balls..."
He Chuyin became more and more excited as she spoke, but He Lianzhou ignored her and let her chatter on.
There was no point in performing a solo, He Chuyin stopped in frustration, then her eyes lit up again and she said, "Can I practice with the group's entertainment sector? I want to try a new business."
The man's face remained calm and steady, and he spoke in a low voice: "Connect with Joice."
He Lianzhou always responds to his sister's requests, except for the Samoyed dog named Bella.
Three years ago, He Chuyin secretly went to He Lianzhou's villa in Repulse Bay and accidentally saw Bella. She thought it was cute and clever, so she wanted to raise it.
I thought it was an easy thing to do, but I never expected that He Lianzhou would not agree no matter what I said.
At that time, he said without question: "You can raise anything you want except this one."
He Chuyin was so angry after being rejected for the first time in her life that she said rebelliously, "Is it okay to support a man?"
"can."
"Where's the old man? A very old man!"
He told her calmly to contact Uncle Cai and forbade her to go to the villa in Repulse Bay again.
It was just a dog, but he raised it as his son.
He also traveled around, to the UK, the US, Hong Kong…
It's really troublesome, a dog has to carry it back and forth.
He Chuyin was unbelievable.
It is reasonable to suspect that my eldest brother is a bachelor, or he wants to live with a dog for the rest of his life.
Otherwise, why do you love your dog so much?
Baby, aren't you good?
Dogs are human’s friends, but not human’s wives.
