She Belongs To Me

After Lu Xingxue left, Jiang Ci returned to the piano room to continue working.Not long after, Xiao Chen came into the room: "Director Jiang, I'll clean up the coffee cups."

Jiang Ci: "Thank you."

Xiao Chen took the paper cup, but didn't leave. He stammered, "...Director Jiang, someone brought us afternoon tea just now."

Jiang Ci looked at her, Xiao Chen scratched his neck and said, "I just saw you downstairs from the window... No, Director Jiang, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to peek."

"Yeah." Jiang Ci signaled her to continue.

Xiao Chen's expression was unnatural: "I saw you eating cake together, and she even used your lipstick... People have been spreading rumors recently that you are married and you are so close, so is she yours... ...?"

Since Xiao Chen took the initiative to ask, Jiang Ci didn't need to lie and deny it, but nodded and admitted: "She is my wife."

"!" The guess was confirmed by himself, and Xiao Chen's voice instantly rose: "I knew it! I knew it was like this! Hmph, damn Director You, spreading rumors everywhere, and saying that it must be because your lover can't do anything about you! I have been hiding it from everyone, either old, ugly, or poor!"

Jiang Ci: "..."

"Director Jiang, it turns out that your wife is so beautiful! Her temperament is also amazing, and she is super gentle when she smiles! My heart beats faster when I look at her from a distance by the window! She looks so familiar, is she a celebrity? That's why you guys want to keep it a secret?  … Cough, Director You really went too far! You said it so badly that everyone is talking about you behind your back!"

Xiao Chen still wanted to mutter bad things about You Lu, but Jiang Ci said helplessly, "Go do something, or you won't be able to finish today."

"Oh!" Xiao Chen nodded his head, before running out, he added the last sentence: "Director Jiang, you and your wife are really a good match!"

Jiang Ci: "..."

Good match?

The piano room was quiet again. Jiang Ci sat in front of the piano, raised her hand to try a note, and then paused.

She fumbled the lipstick out of her pocket in a strange way.

The scene where Lu Xingxue put on lipstick happened in an instant, but when I think about it now, it seems like a movie in slow motion, played back frame by frame in Jiang Ci's mind.

The curvature of her eyeliner, her ups and downs of breathing, her slightly parted lips, her delicate and flawless skin under the sun...

I remember every detail so clearly.

It was obviously not the first day that he met Lu Xingxue, but he suddenly discovered that this person not only had a nice voice, but also his appearance seemed to have grown in his own aesthetic point.

Jiang Ci put away her lipstick and went to Xiao Chen's piano room to find her.

Xiao Chen was staring at the screen of her mobile phone, pressing her fingers quickly, and Jiang Ci knocked on her door a few times: "Have a dinner together after today is over?"

Xiao Chen: "Wow!!!"

After the work was done, Xiao Chen proposed to eat barbecue, another assistant surnamed Li agreed with it, and Jiang Ci went to the barbecue shop with them.

The fat and thin pork belly sizzled in the baking pan, the barbecue shop was lively and noisy, Xiao Chen wentssip a lot about the company, Xiao Li and her laughed until tears came out, but Jiang Ci seemed absent-minded.

The mobile phone placed on the table suddenly buzzed and vibrated, and Jiang Ci subconsciously sat up straight.

Xiao Chen: "Director Jiang, is your wife looking for you?"

Jiang Ci's eyes flickered, and he looked down.

"Is it, isn't it?" Across the table, Xiao Chen was already aiming eagerly at the phone screen.

Jiang Ci picked up her phone, got up and left her seat: "My mother."

When the phone was connected, Jiang Lin said, "A Ci, you and Aunt Ning are shopping in the mall right now, so you can come too."

Jiang Ci said inexplicably: "Now? I haven't—"

Before she could finish a sentence, the person on the other end of the phone was replaced by Ning Shuyue: "A Ci, it's me, I went shopping with your mother, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you done with work now?" Why don't you come and chat with Auntie, okay?"

Jiang Ci: "..."

Jiang Lin really knew her and knew that she would find a reason to refuse, so she asked Aunt Ning to speak up.

After eating, Jiang Ci fixed her makeup in the mirror.When she opened the lipstick cap and swirled out the cream to apply to her lips, she stopped.

In the small makeup mirror, her lips were clearly printed.The mirror moved up, and Jiang Ci looked into her eyes.

...What is there to hesitate about?Doesn't Huo Zhenzhen often try out her new lipstick?She never minded it.

Convincing herself like this, Jiang Ci took out a tissue and gently wiped the tip of the lipstick on the part that touched Lu Xingxue's lips.

After that, she went back to the barbecue shop to pay the bill, explained a few words to Xiao Chen and the others, and left first.

She is not far from that shopping mall, and the subway is only five or six stops away.Jiang Lin and Ning Shuyue were shopping for baby products. As soon as Jiang Ci appeared, Jiang Lin dragged her to a row of shelves inside.

"Where are you from?" Jiang Lin sniffled and said with disgust, "A strange smell?"

Jiang Ci did smell of the barbecue restaurant, but it was not an exaggeration. Jiang Lin liked to scold her, and Jiang Ci let her go.

Standing in front of the shelf, Jiang Lin picked up a pair of small socks: "Look, how delicate the baby's things are."

"And this little hat, ouch, it's so soft, I have to buy this one, Ah Ci, quickly choose, which color looks better?"

Jiang Ci asked her: "Who do you want to buy it for?"

Jiang Lin slapped her on the arm: "Who else can I buy it for? Are you pregnant? Or Lu Xingxue?"

If you still don't understand Jiang Lin's intentions, Jiang Ci has been her daughter for 25 years in vain.

Simply pretending not to understand Jiang Lin's implication, Jiang Ci pointed to the pink top with cartoon carrots embroidered on it: "Wen Nian might like this one."

"Pink?" Jiang Lin shook her head.

Ning Shuyue chose a few baby jumpsuits and was walking towards them, Jiang Lin raised her voice: "Nian Niansheng must be a boy, we have to choose blue."

Jiang Ci: "..."

Ning Shuyue listened, and smiled all over her face: "I don't know yet, let Niannian check it out, she always says she's busy. ——A Ci, have you seen Niannian recently?"

Jiang Ci: "I met you during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ning Shuyue said: "Has she lost weight? You can also persuade her—I study the dishes in different ways every day, hoping that she can eat a few more bites, but she is lucky. She often forgets to eat when she is working."

Jiang Lin clicked her tongue: "This is not acceptable, no matter how important work is, it cannot be compared with her body!"

She took Ning Shuyue's hand and lowered her voice: "As long as the child falls to the ground, the Lin family's, Wen's's, and hers deserve it, can they still run away with long legs?"

Ning Shuyue shook her head: "Oh, Nian Nian's fate is not good, throw it into my stomach, if she is Mrs. Wen's child..."

Jiang Lin frowned and said in disapproval: "Stop! Nian Nian is filial, if you let her know that you said such a thing, I don't know how sad it will be, so don't say it!"

Ning Shuyue: "I'm just talking in front of you."

They chatted and picked, and they took a fancy to a few sets of baby bedding, and couldn't think of what to prepare for the time being, so Jiang Ci asked the cabinet sister to wrap up all the things, and was about to pay when Ning Shuyue stopped her: "We The person who asked you to come out for a chat didn't ask you to pay the bill."

Jiang Lin pulled Ning Shuyue aside: "Okay, why do you have so many opinions?"

Ning Shuyue: "This is too much..."

Jiang Lin: "Listen, I'll be angry if you do this again!"

Ning Shuyue gave in after saying a few words: "That's fine, Ah Ci, I'll let Niannian thank you later."

Jiang Ci didn't respond, Jiang Lin said: "Thank you for that, you are blind."

After coming out with big bags and small bags, Jiang Lin was going to the bathroom, Jiang Ci and Ning Shuyue sat on the rest chair and waited for her.Ning Shuyue looked at the baby supplies she had just bought, and sighed, "It's only by taking care of things little by little that I gradually have a sense of reality. The little girl I hold in my hand has grown up and is going to be a mother. I want to be a grandmother too."

Jiang Ci didn't know what to say.She hopes that Wen Nian is happy, even if this happiness is not given by herself.But what Wen Nian met was not a good match, and Jiang Ci couldn't say those blessings.

"Aci, your mother said that she wanted to be the godmother of Nianniang's child. She said it several times but it made me laugh. It's not easy for her to be a grandmother—Aci, tell Auntie Ning what are you going to do?" When are you going to have a baby?"

Jiang Ci: "..."

She just knew it was.

Jiang Lin hinted in a roundabout way, and Aunt Ning played a straight ball. As expected of the sisters who have known each other for 20 years, they cooperate with each other tacitly.

Jiang Ci: "We will not consider this matter for the time being."

Ning Shuyue raised her eyebrows: "How come? Lu Xingxue is 29 this year, right? She is the only seedling in Lu's family. Mr. Lu is getting old and his health is not good. Why don't you rush her?"

I should remind you, Jiang Ci remembered that Lu Xingxue mentioned it once.But they are married by contract, and this kind of thing is not in the scope of discussion at all.

... Having a baby with Lu Xingxue, Jiang Ci put an end to this association, and prevaricated: "We are too busy to have a baby now, let's wait a few years."

Wen Nian was pregnant and still busy all day long, Ning Shuyue knew the hard work involved, so she couldn't help but soften her tone: "That's true, you are still young..."

Jiang Ci drove Jiang Lin's car and sent her and Ning Shuyue back one by one.After Ning Shuyue got off the car, Jiang Lin took out her mobile phone and transferred a sum of money to Jiang Ci: "I will pay for the clothes."

Jiang Ci didn't plan to accept it: "No need."

Jiang Lin said disapprovingly: "How much money can you make? I told you to stop doing it a long time ago. I told your father to find you a position in the company."

She said, and sat forward: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to help your brother to plan, right? That's your own brother! I see that your father is very concerned about the newly hired manager in the company recently. Please go home for dinner. You are a talented young man with a wealthy family, and you are still single! I wonder if he is looking for someone for Tong Zhenni.——Think about it, he and Tong Zhenni are going to get married, what will your brother do? My brother is only eight years old this year, and if he waits for him to compete for more than 20 or [-] years, the day lily will be cold!"

The more Jiang Lin talked, the more excited she became, but Jiang Ci remained indifferent: "Mom, you'll get old easily if you worry so much."

Jiang Lin suddenly became angry: "Then you don't let me worry about it? If you don't make progress in your career, you don't have to worry about your marriage!"

Jiang Ci sighed.

She got used to being rejected more times, and said calmly: "Mom, I haven't seriously considered all your ideas and proposals. But I like my current job very much, and Lu Xingxue and I are also very satisfied The current state of life, I hope you can understand me."

Jiang Lin snorted, and the mother and daughter did not communicate for the rest of the time.

Arriving at No. 3 Songling Road, Jiang Ci parked the car in the parking space, returned the key to Jiang Lin and was about to leave.Jiang Lin chased after getting out of the car: "Your father is at home, why don't you go in and say hello to him?"

Jiang Ci: "Next time."

Jiang Lin's face became even more stinky, and she said fiercely, "You wait here!"

She stepped on high heels and disappeared before Jiang Ci's eyes.After about ten minutes, I came back with a bundle of bound roses: "Take it back, I just cut it from the garden this afternoon."

Jiang Ci knew that Jiang Lin was angry, and didn't want to make her unhappy anymore, so she reached out and hugged the bouquet into her arms.
