Is the wife married?
Chapter 21
Gu Chixi stared at Wen Ning, her soft brows and eyes were tinged with joy.
It was the expected result, but she didn't expect that Wen Ning would directly talk to her face to face. She thought that according to Wen Ning's temperament, she would have to be awkward and arrogant, and she was even ready to take the initiative to ask.
A smile slowly bloomed on his lips, and before he could widen it, he froze because of what Wen Ning said next.
"But you promise me three conditions first." Wen Ning glanced at the certificate with lowered eyes, and stretched out her hand to press it lightly.
Gu Chixi said softly, "Say it."
"First, after obtaining the certificate, each plays its own way, and must not interfere with each other's private life. Second, the relationship should be kept secret from the outside world, and no one should know about it, except your mother, but you must ensure that she will not spread it. Third, respect each other You can’t force me to do something I don’t want to.”
Wen Ning stared straight at Gu Chixi, raised her right hand, raised a finger every time she said a condition, her tone was firm, and there was a glimmer of light in her long and narrow peach eyes.
Gu Chixi only felt something pierce his heart, and frowned slightly, "What if... I don't agree?"
The place where she was stabbed felt a faint pain, and a sore and numb feeling spread in her heart, as if she had been abandoned high and fell heavily.The moment she fell, the feeling of weightlessness made her flustered.
Wen Ning was stunned, a little surprised, she moved her fingertips holding the ID, and after a while, picked it up, intending to stuff it into her bag.
"and many more--"
Gu Chixi stood up abruptly, walked around the desk, and grabbed her hand together with the documents, "I promise you."
She lowered her eyes and put her thumb against Wen Ning's hand.
The slender eyelashes were like moth wings, covering the emotions in the eyes lightly, and then lifted them up, full of restraint, and the hands became more and more forceful.
Wen Ning pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little unbearable.
She can get a certificate with Gu Chixi and accept a formal marriage, but she cannot accept Gu Chixi.Between them, if you miss it, you miss it. The scars left by the gap of time cannot be erased, so we can only try not to touch them, but it will always be there.
Even if she is easy to soften her heart, with these three conditions as the premise, she will not have any feelings for her.
A year later, he was debt-free and ruthless.
Wen Ning calculated well.
"I have conditions too." Gu Chixi's voice pulled her back from her thoughts.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "What?"
Gu Chixi looked deeply, "We must live together."
"..."
"Wouldn't it be discovered by others?" Wen Ning said anxiously, and subconsciously withdrew her hand, holding her documents tightly.
Once the colleagues know about their relationship, although it won't cause any real impact, but their words are formidable, and gossip about them will be indispensable in the company in the future.No matter what she does, she must be tied to Gu Chixi.
Just imagining it is suffocating.
As soon as these words fell, the air quickly became cold.
Gu Chixi looked at her empty hand, moved her fingertips, curled up, and said in a low voice, "No." She grabbed Wen Ning's hand and ID back, "When there is a task, especially the early shift and red-eyed Ben, you can stay in the hotel with me, it is close to the company and convenient. When we are resting, we will stay at your house."
"Don't worry, I've booked the entire floor of the hotel, and you can choose the ensuite bedroom. I won't go to Tianhewan often, and I will tell you before I go."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice seemed to compromise.
Wen Ning's heart softened again.
This person has always been strong, and if he lowers his posture a little, he has a pitiful temperament everywhere.Especially when she thought that only she could see all the tenderness and fragility, she couldn't stop the numbness in her heart, and couldn't bear it at all.
On the one hand, I feel that I am pretending to be affectionate, and on the other hand, I really like this set.Wen Ning fell into self-tangle.
"...Okay." She reluctantly agreed, lowering her head.
It wasn't until Gu Chixi's tense nerves relaxed that she saw her eyes were a little red, and her heart rose again, and her mind ran wildly, "Ning Ning, do you feel wronged?"
"No." Wen Ning shook her head hastily.
Gu Chixi thought about it: "If you really don't want to..."
"willing."
Wen Ning interrupted her, smiled, narrowed her long and narrow eyes, "Since you want to cooperate, you must show sincerity. If you can agree to my conditions, I can also agree to yours."
At this point, there is only pure interest left between them, she should not mix the past feelings into it, instead of going around and going around, it is better to think clearly and make up her mind from the beginning.
When the debt is paid off, she will be a free bird, the sky is so big and wide, she can love whoever she wants, and then she will completely walk out of Gu Chixi's shadow.
Gu Chixi stared at her intently, soft light flickered in her dark pupils.
"Have you brought your ID?" Wen Ning avoided that look and looked around.
"Tomorrow." Gu Chixi curled the corner of her mouth, raised her hand to brush the broken hair around her ears, "I still have something to do here today, I will pick you up tomorrow morning, remember to wear white clothes."
The strand of hair was tucked behind the ear, and she moved gently and carefully, like loving and caressing a docile and well-behaved kitten.
Wen Ning hesitated for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"and many more."
"?"
Gu Chixi turned around and walked to the other side of the table, took out a piece of paper from her bag, returned to Wen Ning, grabbed her hand and put it in, "I'll keep my promise first."
It was a check, and it was written in capitals "Three million yuan."
There are two red badges printed on the bottom.
Wen Ning was taken aback, "You know I will agree?"
So have the check ready?
"No," Gu Chixi shook his head, "I just prepared early."
"..."
Wen Ning stared at the string of zeros behind the capital letters, smacking and touching repeatedly, feeling inexplicably heavy.
It doesn't seem to be a disadvantage.
After all, 3000 million yuan is too expensive to buy her a formal year, and she feels that she is not worth the price.In fact, even if there was no such so-called "thank you", she would still do Gu Chixi this favor, and she would appear passive after taking the "gift".
But the money had already been delivered to her face, she really couldn't resist the temptation.
"Ningning?" Gu Chixi called her softly.
Wen Ning raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and run away?"
Thinking that Ning Ning had seen through the "lie", Gu Chixi couldn't get up and down, thinking about how to get around or explain, but he didn't expect to be a false alarm.She pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a soft voice, "Then I will chase you to the ends of the earth."
Wen Ning turned her face away, avoiding Gu Chixi's overly direct and hot gaze.
"It's okay, I'll go first..."
She ran away.
A gust of wind passed by, the office door opened and closed again, Gu Chixi stood where he was, smelling the fragrance remaining in the air, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.
With hindsight, complicated feelings overwhelmed her.
Although it was expected, Wen Ning's condition caught her by surprise.
The day before yesterday, she was still worrying about whether she was too reckless. She should not directly mention the money, but get the certificate first, and wait until a later date to talk about the debt repayment.However, the follow-up feasibility of doing so cannot be predicted. She is not completely sure that the old matter can be resolved within a year, and she is not confident that Wen Ning will let go of her grudges and forgive her within a year.
At that time, what reason would she use to persuade Wen Ning to accept her to pay off the debt for her?
Playing the old love card directly will bring back unpleasant memories of the past, which is simply adding salt to the wound.It's better to be straightforward and say it clearly from the beginning.
This is equivalent to the cooperation of selling one's body. It may make Ningning feel uncomfortable, but the pain will always pass.
Without debts, Wen Ning can fly freely and live easily.
Even if the price paid is that the relationship between the two is completely reduced to an exchange of interests.
Thinking of this, Gu Chixi closed his eyes, sighed, bypassed his work and sat back on the leather chair, rubbing the center of his brows with his index finger.
She doesn't want this either...
But that day I was too anxious and urgent, and when I encountered something related to Ningning, everything was messed up.
Fortunately, she won the bet.
The sun was scorching outside, there was no wind, and the air was hot.
Wen Ning walked out of the building as if fleeing, and ran into someone head-on, almost bumping into her, she stopped, and the other person also stopped, their eyes met, and they were all taken aback.
It's Wan Siqi.
Thinking of the unhappiness some time ago, Wen Ning ignored her, turned her face away, and was about to leave.
"Captain Wen!" Wan Siqi grabbed her arm, "Wait a minute..."
Wen Ning frowned, and said coldly, "Is there something wrong?"
"I—" Wan Siqi hesitated to speak, and turned her head to look around for a while, "Come out."
She pulled Wen Ning to hide under the shade of a tree next to her, looked around and made sure there was no one around, then let go of her hand, looked at Wen Ning with a little embarrassment, and said, "Captain Wen, I want to ask you I'm sorry, it's just... the last time... I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
Wen Ning was surprised, and her face softened a little, "Have you found out who reported it?"
"Ah."
Wan Siqi nodded, gritted her teeth and said, "It's my roommate."
Many of the flight attendants are foreigners who live in rented houses near the company. If they have good acquaintances, they will arrange to rent together. First, the colleagues are safer and more at ease, and second, they have common topics with each other, so they will not be lonely.
However, who would have thought that the person with the best relationship in the past would stab a knife in the back.
Wen Ning suddenly remembered what Gu Chixi said last time, and faintly felt that there might be a connection between them, so she asked tentatively, "How did you find out?"
"It's a bit strange to say..." Wan Siqi murmured, "I received a text message from an unfamiliar number at the beginning of this month, telling me to be careful of my roommate hurting me. Empty number."
Wen Ning: "..."
"It really scared me. It was inexplicable. I thought I had encountered a ghost. Then I paid attention to my roommate during that time, and there was nothing wrong. I thought it must be a prank."
Then, about last Tuesday, Wan Siqi changed shifts temporarily and went to the hospital. When she came back, she heard her roommate talking to someone on the balcony about reporting her, and she laughed very loudly.
She still remembers that her roommate looked at her in panic and asked very bluntly: Don't you have a flight today?
Then the two tore their faces and broke up.
Just because her roommate failed the first-class test, and Wan Siqi just passed this year, the hourly fee is 11 yuan more than her.
After reporting the incident, Wan Siqi was demoted back to the ordinary cabin.
While she was furious, she regretted that she had wronged Wen Ning for being reckless, and indiscriminately disclosed Wen Ning's protection of her to the leader, causing the other party to be grounded for half a month and losing money in vain.
Although flight and cabin crew belong to two departments, there are many overlaps in work, and it is not good to make trouble with others for no reason.
Wan Siqi explained what happened, looked at Wen Ning with aggrieved eyes, folded her hands and bowed to her: "Captain Wen, I'm really sorry..."
Wen Ning was distracted.
The incident happened at the end of last month. Gu Chixi came to her and promised her that she would not care about it. Then at the beginning of the month, Wan Siqi received a mysterious text message, and then arrested her roommate to show up.With a series of causes and consequences, it was hard for her to imagine that it had nothing to do with that person.
Could the text message be sent by Gu Chixi?
Except for the department leader and Gu Chixi, no one knew who the real whistleblower was. The former was not related to her, so it was obviously impossible to meddle in her business. After thinking about it, only Gu Chixi would do so.
"Captain Wen?" Wan Siqi called her, "I'm to blame for this, if I didn't figure it out..."
Wen Ning suddenly came back to her senses, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, it's over."
"May I treat you to dinner to make amends?"
"Need not."
"That--"
What else did the girl want to say, but Wen Ning didn't want to entangle her anymore, she made an excuse: "I have an appointment with a friend, I'm in a hurry, so that's it." She turned and walked towards the parking lot.
The whole thing has gone on for so long, everyone broke up after a few days of gossip, and Gu Chixi made up for Wen Ning's lost money in another way, which didn't affect her too much.Instead, she discovered something more subtle - Gu Chixi was always helping her intentionally or unintentionally.
First, a mysterious text message, and then a 2 yuan chartered car, which was done carefully and restrained.
Wen Ning got into the car, turned on the air conditioner, took out the check, and looked at it several times under the cold and silent lights of the parking lot, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.
These days, she said that she didn't care about Gu Chixi's departure back then, but she still had obsessions in her heart. That person's light "reading" explanation was not enough at all, and she didn't believe it.
She couldn't take the initiative to ask, that would show how much she cared.
Now, the two have completely turned into a cooperative relationship of interests.
That's fine, it gave her a reason to completely stop thinking about it, no longer need to be obsessed with the past, obsessed with explanations, and hypnotized herself for such a long time, maybe she can really get out of the knot in her heart.
The next day, Wen Ning got up early, washed and tidied up, put on a white shirt and a pair of hot pants, and sat down in front of the dressing table.
In the mirror, her face was very thin, with a sharp jaw line, a pair of deep and attractive eyes like dewy roses, shimmering, with a sleepy feeling between her brows and eyes.
She put on plain makeup for herself, light coffee-colored eyebrows, thin brown inner eyeliner, and peach lip glaze that is so pale that it is almost transparent.
While eating breakfast, Wen Ning called her aunt and told her to send the money in two days.
When the aunt heard that it was 50 yuan, she refused to accept it, and only borrowed [-] yuan. Wen Ning talked and coaxed her aunt for a long time before she persuaded her aunt, and her heart also settled down.
Different from the past, this time it was not temporary stability, but the feeling of finally being able to lie down and rest after the dust settled.A breakfast is eaten more comfortably and unhurriedly than any other day in years.
At nine o'clock, Wen Ning received a call from Gu Chixi.
"Ningling, I'm at the door."
The man's voice was as gentle as ever, as if he was afraid of disturbing her, Wen Ning couldn't help but raise his heart when he listened, feeling inexplicably nervous, "Okay."
She hung up the phone and went to put on her shoes with her bag. The moment she opened the door, she looked back at the room. She was single when she left home today, and she was a married woman when she came back. She felt a little bit emotional and reluctant.
Going out of the gate, across the yard, a blue car parked outside.
The door at the back of the car opened, and Gu Chixi came down. She was also wearing a white shirt, with a regular style, long black hair hanging down her shoulders, light makeup on her face, and slightly redder lips than Wen Ning's. Wen Ning's figure was reflected in her quiet black eyes, and there was a ripple.
"Lemon -"
She curled her mouth and stepped forward.
Wen Ning's eyes fell on the car, looked it over, and asked in doubt, "Did you change the car?"
"Well," Gu Chixi took her hand, "Listen to you, arrange a meeting."
"..."
Wen Ning had long forgotten what she had said in Java. Now that she was reminded of it, she felt embarrassed. She pursed her lips, withdrew her hand, and opened the passenger door without saying a word.
"Let's sit in the back." Gu Chixi grabbed her arm.
"Oh."
The interior of the car is fresh and elegant off-white. Between the two seats in the back row is a pair of bear dolls holding hands. Wen Ning took a second look at the dolls. When Gu Chixi came up, she immediately looked away and lowered her head to play. cell phone.
"Xiao Fan, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Gu Chixi said to the driver.
"Ok."
After leaving Tianhe Bay, there are more and more cars on the road.
Wen Ning checked Weibo for a while, but didn't see any new topics. She put down her phone and raised her eyes. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Gu Chixi was looking at her. Her neck was stiff, and she pretended to turn to the other side naturally, looking at the scenery outside the window. .
The car was silent, the air conditioner was fully turned on, but the temperature seemed to rise imperceptibly, she raised her hand to brush her hair, and brushed her face with her fingertips, it was a little hot.
After a long time, the eyes beside him were retracted.
Wen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you brought all your documents?" Gu Chixi asked suddenly, and his eyes swept over again.
Wen Ning only nodded without looking at her.
Those who knew were going to get married, those who didn't know thought they were getting divorced, they didn't speak to each other, they didn't even make eye contact.There was a long silence, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.
"By the way," Wen Ning suddenly remembered something, turned her head and said, "I ran into Wan Siqi at the company yesterday, and she apologized to me, saying that she knew that the person who made the report was her roommate."
Gu Chixi was slightly startled, feeling the gaze cast from his side, his expression was a little unnatural, "Huh? And then?"
"Do you have anything to do with this matter?" Wen Ning stared at her face, not letting go of a subtle expression.
Gu Chixi had always been used to being indifferent, showing no emotions, but in front of Wen Ning, it was difficult for her to pretend, her uncontrollable emotions were revealed, and she was easily seen through.
There are relationships.
She didn't want Wen Ning to know that she was involved in it. After all, she promised to leave it alone last time, so she said vaguely, "Why do you think so?"
"Just answer me if I have." Wen Ning raised her chin, her tone a bit aggressive.
"...Yes." Gu Chixi knew she couldn't hide it, so she simply admitted, thinking that Wen Ning was angry, she hurriedly grabbed her hand and rubbed it comfortingly, "What did Wan Siqi say?"
Wen Ning couldn't help but laugh at her honesty and confession.
He was a completely different person from the President Gu he saw in the meeting room yesterday.
Wen Ning suffocated her laughter, forced a straight face, and recounted what had happened.
"Is it you who sent the text message?" She raised her eyebrows and asked.
Gu Chixi lowered her eyes, put her thumb into her palm, circling, caressing the lines on it carefully, after a while, nodded and said: "I sent it to Wan Siqi with my virtual network number, I didn't expect to be able to wake up." The function is just to remind her and try her luck. But I didn't expect her to break it by herself..."
Having said that, she glanced at Wen Ning guiltily, and her tone became weaker and weaker.
"I promised you to ignore this matter, but I didn't do it. I broke my promise. I... still don't want to see you being wronged. It's more sad than being wronged myself." After speaking, he raised his eyes, his eyes were deep looked at her deeply.
Her facial features are cold and deep, revealing a sense of arrogance of restraint and alienation, but her brows and eyes are filled with infinite gentleness, and her eyes are full of affection.
Wen Ning's heart trembled, her soul was taken away by those deep black eyes, a fierce electric current flowed through her limbs and bones in an instant, her head was a little dizzy, and her body also felt collapsed.
The car suddenly fell into silence, filled with deep breathing and chaotic heartbeats.
Peach lips are close at hand.
Suddenly, Wen Ning turned away and said with a smile, "Childish."
"..."
"You don't need to make a big fuss about such a trivial matter." She said coldly, looking out of the window, the window glass reflected the sour smile on her face, her eyelashes trembled and her eyes blinked rapidly.
Gu Chixi looked disappointed, held her hand tightly, and said, "Everything related to you is no small matter to me."
Wen Ning blinked and pursed her lips.
Although the matter has no direct causal relationship with Gu Chixi, but at least this person helped her, and she should say thank you in a reasonable way.She opened and closed her lips, thanking Gu Chixi in her heart, but the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak.
After a long time, Wen Ning said lightly, and said calmly, "You have to take care of it yourself."
Slightly raised brows, slightly raised chin, half pursed mouth - the window glass is clearly reflected, and it looks like a deadly arrogant.
Hearing this familiar tone, Gu Chixi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and said in a coquettish tone: "Yes, I am willing."
The little temper still hasn't changed.
She slowly rubbed Wen Ning's palm with her thumb, paused for a moment, carefully combed her five fingers apart, interlaced her own hand, and hooked the little finger.
Wen Ning retracted her hand, trying to take it back, but was held firmly.
"Let go!" She turned her head and glared.
Gu Chixi let go immediately.
--whispering sound.
Counseling to death.
And the boss.
Wen Ning slandered her, feeling particularly good.
……
There are very few same-sex couples who register with the Civil Affairs Bureau, no appointment is required, and the process is very fast.
When taking pictures, the staff asked the two to get closer. Gu Chixi was afraid that Wen Ning would be awkward, so he tilted his head, but Wen Ning also cooperated with him, and their faces bumped into each other unexpectedly.
Wen Ning: "..."
Gu Chixi: "..."
The two parted a little calmly and tacitly.
After receiving the marriage certificate, Wen Ning looked at the red book in her hand, without any ups and downs in her heart, as if she had just completed a task and had an explanation, and what happened afterward had nothing to do with her.
The moment she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she was still in a daze.
That's how you get married.
No floats, no wedding, no blessings.
The person around her was the one in the dream, but her own heart was not the one in the dream. It was a pity that the most beautiful and imaginative things in her life passed by so hastily.
She lowered her face and sighed, stuffing the documents in her bag indiscriminately.
Gu Chixi noticed Wen Ning's movements, and couldn't help but clenched the red book in her hand, her lips moved slightly, she probably knew what Wen Ning was thinking, in fact, that was also what she was thinking.She also wanted a sacred and romantic wedding, the blessings of her relatives and friends, and Wen Ning's heart.
However, the two are currently only in a contractual relationship, and even obtaining a certificate is just a process, and those beautiful things can only be imagined.
She lost Ningning's heart seven years ago.
"Let's go." Wen Ning opened the door and sat in.
Gu Chixi carefully put the marriage certificate away, got into the car, saw Wen Ning leaning against the back of the chair with her eyes closed, and thought about it: "Ning Ning, do you want to go to the hotel with me?"
"can."
The car drove slowly towards Roland International.
I don't remember when Gu Chixi fell in love with staying in a hotel. All kinds of suites are more comfortable and safer than at home—before she temporarily had no plans to buy a house to live in.
A person can live wherever he lives, as long as he can stay away from his mother.
The hotel is very large, with several high and low buildings adjacent to each other. There is a VIP elevator in the small door on the side of the lobby, specially guarded. Gu Chixi took Wen Ning in and went straight to the top floor.
The door opened, and outside was a cold and empty hall.
It is a typical English rural style, with fresh and elegant floral decorations everywhere. The colors are mostly plain white and cream green, which are transparent and comfortable. There are several landscape oil paintings on the walls, and there is an old-fashioned piano in the corner.
Gu Chixi covered the entire floor.
Walk through the lobby, open the sliding door, and there is a living room behind, with the master bedroom, second bedroom, cloakroom, bathroom, etc. on both sides, and there are other functional rooms at the other end, which are not commonly used.
"Ning Ning, do you think it's okay?" After Gu Chixi briefly introduced, he turned his consulting eyes to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning glanced around, and felt that there was nothing new, it was just a normal big suite. When she was a child, she often lived in it when she went out with her parents, but the design style here was very attractive to her, it didn't look like a hotel.
Due to work, she often lives in hotels and is hardly "picky eaters".
"Don't like it?"
Gu Chixi saw her in a daze, thought it was dissatisfaction, thought for a moment and said: "Then let's live in Tianhewan first, and go to the neighborhood near the company to look at the house together when we have time."
"Just here, it's good," Wen Ning shook her head and stretched her waist, "There's no need to buy a house, anyway, I'll leave after a year, wasteful, and save me from sharing your property."
Although the two are married by contract, it is legally binding after all. She has already taken so much money from others, and if she splits another sum during the divorce, she will feel embarrassed. If it can save trouble, she will not bother.
From now on, we must strictly abide by the terms of the "contract".
Gu Chixi was stunned, his eyes dimmed suddenly, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and changed the subject: "I have all the daily necessities ready, you pick a room, and you can come and stay here tonight."
"Tomorrow night, my shift the day after tomorrow."
"Okay," Gu Chixi nodded, "Then I'll go with you to Tianhe Bay."
Wen Ning: "..."
She pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, looked away calmly, and pointed to the master bedroom on the left, "You live in this room?"
"Ah."
"I live opposite." Wen Ning walked to the second bedroom on the right.
The bedroom alone is very large, with sofas, tables, chairs, balconies, and a 1.8-meter double bed covered with brand-new lavender sheets and duvet covers. There is even a mobile phone data cable at the head of the bed.Wen Ning walked around the room, opened the closet, and there was a row of clothes that hadn't been removed.
She froze for a moment, took out one casually and put it in front of her for gestures, it was almost suitable.
Open the bottom drawer, full of sets of underwear.
The man knew her size.
Wen Ning looked down at herself, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and the roots of her ears were hot.
It's Gu Chixi's style to be so well prepared overnight. She has always paid special attention to everything about Wen Ning.Wen Ning used to think that this was her own happiness, but now thinking about it, she can only sigh.
Take a good look at the room, it's noon, the two ordered a meal, and ate in the living room.
In the afternoon, Gu Chixi packed some of his luggage and followed Wen Ning to Tianhe Bay.
At two or three o'clock, thick dark clouds piled up in the sky, the light was dim, and a storm was about to fall.
Unlike Gu Chixi who prepared daily necessities overnight, Wen Ning hardly prepared anything. Fortunately, the guest room on the first floor was cleaned and it was fairly clean. She carried Gu Chixi's suitcase in, brought a vacuum cleaner, and vacuumed the remaining dust .
"You can live in this room, okay?" Wen Ning straightened her back and turned to look at Gu Chixi, "I have a backup of towels and toothbrushes, or you can buy them yourself later."
Gu Chixi stood at the door, staring at the next room. The door was open, and one could see that there were beds and traces of life inside.
She turned her gaze away, and did not answer Wen Ning, but pointed to the next room, "Is there anyone else at home?"
Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, Wen Ning choked for a few seconds, and said, "It's for Xiaoyu." Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by her, she avoided it a little, "She sometimes comes to play, here live."
Gu Chixi looked at her silently.
His dark eyes contained eternal ice, as if a storm was about to come.She barely hid her emotions, fell silent for a moment, suppressed it, and asked in a soft voice, "Does she come here often?"
"Three or four times a month..." Wen Ning lowered her face, a little guilty.
Ever since the two of them met unexpectedly last time, the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder in that confrontation was strong, and she seemed to be involved in the whirlpool inexplicably, pulled by two invisible pressures at the same time, and it was very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.
It's all because of this guy's paranoia.
she thinks.
Gu Chixi lowered his eyes, took two steps forward, stretched out his slender fingers to hook her, "We are married, we should sleep together."
"It's just a contract." Wen Ning shook off her hand, "Besides, who stipulates that married people can't sleep in separate rooms?"
"Lemon -"
Gu Chixi chased after her hand.
Wen Ning put her hands behind her back and took two steps back. The man refused to let her go. She was annoyed for a moment, and said in a cold voice, "Don't hold back, sleep on the street."
There are only five rooms in this house. The two upstairs are Wen Ning's bedroom and Wen Ning's parents' bedroom, and the three downstairs are a study and two guest rooms. One of them is for He Yu kept only one vacant room.
There is no choice.
Gu Chixi froze, with a complicated expression on his face.
In the past, every time they came to Wen Ning's house, they would sleep in the same bed. From childhood to adulthood, there was no exception. Now that she moved in as Wen Ning's wife, she could only sleep in the guest room.Upstairs and downstairs, the separation is like a moat, with a gap called "seven years" in between.
She lowered her eyes and didn't speak any more. She slowly retracted her hand that was hanging in the air, pushed the box to the closet, squatted down, and packed her luggage silently.
There was nothing but embarrassment in the room.
Looking at her lonely back, Wen Ning felt as if her heart had been pinched hard. It was soft and slumped, which was unpleasant. She was a little annoyed that she had spoken too much, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to apologize, so she just stayed stiff for a while. Just remembered to take something.
She carried the vacuum cleaner out, Gu Chixi stopped folding his clothes, his eyes were a little sour.
After a while, Wen Ning came in again, and handed a small bunch of keys to her, "The gold is for opening the courtyard door, and the silver is for the emergency key of the living room door. The code is 150711. If there is something wrong with the combination lock, use the emergency key to open the door."
Gu Chixi took the key without saying a word.
Wen Ning: "..."
--whispering sound.
And bet on her.
As for what.
childish!
"I've sterilized the wardrobe." Wen Ning said kindly, taking a peek inside the box.
Clothes, perfume, toiletries, computers, shoes... very common things, like traveling.
Gu Chixi moved slowly, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
"I dragged it over."
"Ah."
"Just cleaned it yesterday."
"Ah."
"I'll get you the bed sheet and quilt cover later, new ones."
"Ah."
"..."
Wen Ning clicked her tongue, a little helpless, but she couldn't hold back her face and apologized. After racking her brains, she finally brought up the topic: "Did you tell your mother about the marriage?"
Gu Chixi frowned slightly, "Not yet."
"Do you need to meet her? If she asks, we..."
"No need," Gu Chixi interrupted softly, "I'll just show her the marriage certificate."
"Oh."
Both of them were squatting on the ground, embarrassed, Wen Ning really couldn't think of anything to talk about, and was about to find an excuse to leave, when Gu Chixi suddenly said, "I have a dinner tonight, and I'll be back around eight or nine o'clock."
"... Oh." Wen Ning blinked, "Don't tell me, you can do whatever you want."
Gu Chixi pursed his lips.
A heavy rain fell and did not stop until after nine o'clock at night.
The bedroom was lit with warm yellow lights. Wen Ning had taken a shower and was chatting with He Yu on the sofa with her mobile phone in her arms. The air was a little cool after the rain. She left the glass sliding door of the balcony open and let the moist breeze blow in.
While chatting happily, there was the sound of a car approaching outside, Wen Ning got up and looked out, and saw the familiar blue Bentley parked at the door, Gu Chixi got down from it, it turned around and left.
She held her breath.
The courtyard door opened and closed, and then the door of the living room made a "beep" sound of the combination lock.
Wen Ning looked down at the time on her phone.
09: 30.
The night is dark, the cold white street lamps are desolate, the red brick house stands quietly in the darkness, a yellowish light leaks from the window, people sit by the window and concentrate.
She suddenly had a feeling of waiting for her family to return home late.
After Gu Chixi left in the afternoon, Wen Ning braved the heavy rain and went to the mall to buy some daily necessities according to the person's general preferences.Although she knew that Gu Chixi usually didn't need to open up fights, but she got married in a hurry and was not prepared for a while, it was okay to make do, so she took it as an apology for talking too much.
From now on, they will live without interfering with each other.
Wen Ning sighed softly, and lowered her head to reply He Yu's message. She felt a little hot at the moment, so she closed the sliding door, pulled up the curtain, and turned on the air conditioner.
—— tuk tuk tuk
The door was knocked.
Xu was not used to having people at home, Wen Ning was taken aback, and froze in place, staring at the door for a long time before realizing it, and went to open it.
Gu Chixi stood outside, his cold white face was as smooth as jade under the light, and there was tiredness in his brows and eyes.
"What's the matter?" Wen Ning asked, looking over the pajamas and toiletries in her hand.
Gu Chixi looked a little embarrassed, and said: "The toilet downstairs is too big, I'm not used to it, can I take a shower upstairs?"
"..."
What kind of strange habit is this?
Obviously not before.
Wen Ning didn't think much about it, bathing upstairs and downstairs was the same, so she nodded and said, "It's fine, whatever you want."
Gu Chixi turned around and went into the next bathroom.
The sound insulation of the room was not bad, Wen Ning closed the door, held the phone and continued chatting with He Yu, only the faint sound of dripping water could be heard.While chatting, she lay down, her eyelids clenched a little.
—— tuk tuk tuk
There was another knock on the door.
Wen Ning woke up instantly, got up and opened the door.
"what happened again?"
"I have nothing to do, let's chat with you."
Gu Chixi was wearing a translucent nightdress with suspenders. Just after taking a shower, her cheeks were slightly pink, and her jet-black fluffy hair was draped softly behind her shoulders, fading away the cold alienation, showing a bit of gentleness soft.
Wen Ning stared at her intently, her throat slipped, and she pretended to be cold, "I don't want to talk."
"I'm scared alone."
"..."
Then you are not afraid of living alone in the whole floor of the hotel?Wen Ning rolled her eyes in her heart.
"Okay?" Gu Chixi looked at her pleadingly.
Lemon likes this set the most.
Wen Ning's mind buzzed, her heart softened uncontrollably, but she refused to compromise completely, and was entangled
It was the expected result, but she didn't expect that Wen Ning would directly talk to her face to face. She thought that according to Wen Ning's temperament, she would have to be awkward and arrogant, and she was even ready to take the initiative to ask.
A smile slowly bloomed on his lips, and before he could widen it, he froze because of what Wen Ning said next.
"But you promise me three conditions first." Wen Ning glanced at the certificate with lowered eyes, and stretched out her hand to press it lightly.
Gu Chixi said softly, "Say it."
"First, after obtaining the certificate, each plays its own way, and must not interfere with each other's private life. Second, the relationship should be kept secret from the outside world, and no one should know about it, except your mother, but you must ensure that she will not spread it. Third, respect each other You can’t force me to do something I don’t want to.”
Wen Ning stared straight at Gu Chixi, raised her right hand, raised a finger every time she said a condition, her tone was firm, and there was a glimmer of light in her long and narrow peach eyes.
Gu Chixi only felt something pierce his heart, and frowned slightly, "What if... I don't agree?"
The place where she was stabbed felt a faint pain, and a sore and numb feeling spread in her heart, as if she had been abandoned high and fell heavily.The moment she fell, the feeling of weightlessness made her flustered.
Wen Ning was stunned, a little surprised, she moved her fingertips holding the ID, and after a while, picked it up, intending to stuff it into her bag.
"and many more--"
Gu Chixi stood up abruptly, walked around the desk, and grabbed her hand together with the documents, "I promise you."
She lowered her eyes and put her thumb against Wen Ning's hand.
The slender eyelashes were like moth wings, covering the emotions in the eyes lightly, and then lifted them up, full of restraint, and the hands became more and more forceful.
Wen Ning pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little unbearable.
She can get a certificate with Gu Chixi and accept a formal marriage, but she cannot accept Gu Chixi.Between them, if you miss it, you miss it. The scars left by the gap of time cannot be erased, so we can only try not to touch them, but it will always be there.
Even if she is easy to soften her heart, with these three conditions as the premise, she will not have any feelings for her.
A year later, he was debt-free and ruthless.
Wen Ning calculated well.
"I have conditions too." Gu Chixi's voice pulled her back from her thoughts.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "What?"
Gu Chixi looked deeply, "We must live together."
"..."
"Wouldn't it be discovered by others?" Wen Ning said anxiously, and subconsciously withdrew her hand, holding her documents tightly.
Once the colleagues know about their relationship, although it won't cause any real impact, but their words are formidable, and gossip about them will be indispensable in the company in the future.No matter what she does, she must be tied to Gu Chixi.
Just imagining it is suffocating.
As soon as these words fell, the air quickly became cold.
Gu Chixi looked at her empty hand, moved her fingertips, curled up, and said in a low voice, "No." She grabbed Wen Ning's hand and ID back, "When there is a task, especially the early shift and red-eyed Ben, you can stay in the hotel with me, it is close to the company and convenient. When we are resting, we will stay at your house."
"Don't worry, I've booked the entire floor of the hotel, and you can choose the ensuite bedroom. I won't go to Tianhewan often, and I will tell you before I go."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice seemed to compromise.
Wen Ning's heart softened again.
This person has always been strong, and if he lowers his posture a little, he has a pitiful temperament everywhere.Especially when she thought that only she could see all the tenderness and fragility, she couldn't stop the numbness in her heart, and couldn't bear it at all.
On the one hand, I feel that I am pretending to be affectionate, and on the other hand, I really like this set.Wen Ning fell into self-tangle.
"...Okay." She reluctantly agreed, lowering her head.
It wasn't until Gu Chixi's tense nerves relaxed that she saw her eyes were a little red, and her heart rose again, and her mind ran wildly, "Ning Ning, do you feel wronged?"
"No." Wen Ning shook her head hastily.
Gu Chixi thought about it: "If you really don't want to..."
"willing."
Wen Ning interrupted her, smiled, narrowed her long and narrow eyes, "Since you want to cooperate, you must show sincerity. If you can agree to my conditions, I can also agree to yours."
At this point, there is only pure interest left between them, she should not mix the past feelings into it, instead of going around and going around, it is better to think clearly and make up her mind from the beginning.
When the debt is paid off, she will be a free bird, the sky is so big and wide, she can love whoever she wants, and then she will completely walk out of Gu Chixi's shadow.
Gu Chixi stared at her intently, soft light flickered in her dark pupils.
"Have you brought your ID?" Wen Ning avoided that look and looked around.
"Tomorrow." Gu Chixi curled the corner of her mouth, raised her hand to brush the broken hair around her ears, "I still have something to do here today, I will pick you up tomorrow morning, remember to wear white clothes."
The strand of hair was tucked behind the ear, and she moved gently and carefully, like loving and caressing a docile and well-behaved kitten.
Wen Ning hesitated for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"and many more."
"?"
Gu Chixi turned around and walked to the other side of the table, took out a piece of paper from her bag, returned to Wen Ning, grabbed her hand and put it in, "I'll keep my promise first."
It was a check, and it was written in capitals "Three million yuan."
There are two red badges printed on the bottom.
Wen Ning was taken aback, "You know I will agree?"
So have the check ready?
"No," Gu Chixi shook his head, "I just prepared early."
"..."
Wen Ning stared at the string of zeros behind the capital letters, smacking and touching repeatedly, feeling inexplicably heavy.
It doesn't seem to be a disadvantage.
After all, 3000 million yuan is too expensive to buy her a formal year, and she feels that she is not worth the price.In fact, even if there was no such so-called "thank you", she would still do Gu Chixi this favor, and she would appear passive after taking the "gift".
But the money had already been delivered to her face, she really couldn't resist the temptation.
"Ningning?" Gu Chixi called her softly.
Wen Ning raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and run away?"
Thinking that Ning Ning had seen through the "lie", Gu Chixi couldn't get up and down, thinking about how to get around or explain, but he didn't expect to be a false alarm.She pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a soft voice, "Then I will chase you to the ends of the earth."
Wen Ning turned her face away, avoiding Gu Chixi's overly direct and hot gaze.
"It's okay, I'll go first..."
She ran away.
A gust of wind passed by, the office door opened and closed again, Gu Chixi stood where he was, smelling the fragrance remaining in the air, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.
With hindsight, complicated feelings overwhelmed her.
Although it was expected, Wen Ning's condition caught her by surprise.
The day before yesterday, she was still worrying about whether she was too reckless. She should not directly mention the money, but get the certificate first, and wait until a later date to talk about the debt repayment.However, the follow-up feasibility of doing so cannot be predicted. She is not completely sure that the old matter can be resolved within a year, and she is not confident that Wen Ning will let go of her grudges and forgive her within a year.
At that time, what reason would she use to persuade Wen Ning to accept her to pay off the debt for her?
Playing the old love card directly will bring back unpleasant memories of the past, which is simply adding salt to the wound.It's better to be straightforward and say it clearly from the beginning.
This is equivalent to the cooperation of selling one's body. It may make Ningning feel uncomfortable, but the pain will always pass.
Without debts, Wen Ning can fly freely and live easily.
Even if the price paid is that the relationship between the two is completely reduced to an exchange of interests.
Thinking of this, Gu Chixi closed his eyes, sighed, bypassed his work and sat back on the leather chair, rubbing the center of his brows with his index finger.
She doesn't want this either...
But that day I was too anxious and urgent, and when I encountered something related to Ningning, everything was messed up.
Fortunately, she won the bet.
The sun was scorching outside, there was no wind, and the air was hot.
Wen Ning walked out of the building as if fleeing, and ran into someone head-on, almost bumping into her, she stopped, and the other person also stopped, their eyes met, and they were all taken aback.
It's Wan Siqi.
Thinking of the unhappiness some time ago, Wen Ning ignored her, turned her face away, and was about to leave.
"Captain Wen!" Wan Siqi grabbed her arm, "Wait a minute..."
Wen Ning frowned, and said coldly, "Is there something wrong?"
"I—" Wan Siqi hesitated to speak, and turned her head to look around for a while, "Come out."
She pulled Wen Ning to hide under the shade of a tree next to her, looked around and made sure there was no one around, then let go of her hand, looked at Wen Ning with a little embarrassment, and said, "Captain Wen, I want to ask you I'm sorry, it's just... the last time... I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
Wen Ning was surprised, and her face softened a little, "Have you found out who reported it?"
"Ah."
Wan Siqi nodded, gritted her teeth and said, "It's my roommate."
Many of the flight attendants are foreigners who live in rented houses near the company. If they have good acquaintances, they will arrange to rent together. First, the colleagues are safer and more at ease, and second, they have common topics with each other, so they will not be lonely.
However, who would have thought that the person with the best relationship in the past would stab a knife in the back.
Wen Ning suddenly remembered what Gu Chixi said last time, and faintly felt that there might be a connection between them, so she asked tentatively, "How did you find out?"
"It's a bit strange to say..." Wan Siqi murmured, "I received a text message from an unfamiliar number at the beginning of this month, telling me to be careful of my roommate hurting me. Empty number."
Wen Ning: "..."
"It really scared me. It was inexplicable. I thought I had encountered a ghost. Then I paid attention to my roommate during that time, and there was nothing wrong. I thought it must be a prank."
Then, about last Tuesday, Wan Siqi changed shifts temporarily and went to the hospital. When she came back, she heard her roommate talking to someone on the balcony about reporting her, and she laughed very loudly.
She still remembers that her roommate looked at her in panic and asked very bluntly: Don't you have a flight today?
Then the two tore their faces and broke up.
Just because her roommate failed the first-class test, and Wan Siqi just passed this year, the hourly fee is 11 yuan more than her.
After reporting the incident, Wan Siqi was demoted back to the ordinary cabin.
While she was furious, she regretted that she had wronged Wen Ning for being reckless, and indiscriminately disclosed Wen Ning's protection of her to the leader, causing the other party to be grounded for half a month and losing money in vain.
Although flight and cabin crew belong to two departments, there are many overlaps in work, and it is not good to make trouble with others for no reason.
Wan Siqi explained what happened, looked at Wen Ning with aggrieved eyes, folded her hands and bowed to her: "Captain Wen, I'm really sorry..."
Wen Ning was distracted.
The incident happened at the end of last month. Gu Chixi came to her and promised her that she would not care about it. Then at the beginning of the month, Wan Siqi received a mysterious text message, and then arrested her roommate to show up.With a series of causes and consequences, it was hard for her to imagine that it had nothing to do with that person.
Could the text message be sent by Gu Chixi?
Except for the department leader and Gu Chixi, no one knew who the real whistleblower was. The former was not related to her, so it was obviously impossible to meddle in her business. After thinking about it, only Gu Chixi would do so.
"Captain Wen?" Wan Siqi called her, "I'm to blame for this, if I didn't figure it out..."
Wen Ning suddenly came back to her senses, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, it's over."
"May I treat you to dinner to make amends?"
"Need not."
"That--"
What else did the girl want to say, but Wen Ning didn't want to entangle her anymore, she made an excuse: "I have an appointment with a friend, I'm in a hurry, so that's it." She turned and walked towards the parking lot.
The whole thing has gone on for so long, everyone broke up after a few days of gossip, and Gu Chixi made up for Wen Ning's lost money in another way, which didn't affect her too much.Instead, she discovered something more subtle - Gu Chixi was always helping her intentionally or unintentionally.
First, a mysterious text message, and then a 2 yuan chartered car, which was done carefully and restrained.
Wen Ning got into the car, turned on the air conditioner, took out the check, and looked at it several times under the cold and silent lights of the parking lot, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.
These days, she said that she didn't care about Gu Chixi's departure back then, but she still had obsessions in her heart. That person's light "reading" explanation was not enough at all, and she didn't believe it.
She couldn't take the initiative to ask, that would show how much she cared.
Now, the two have completely turned into a cooperative relationship of interests.
That's fine, it gave her a reason to completely stop thinking about it, no longer need to be obsessed with the past, obsessed with explanations, and hypnotized herself for such a long time, maybe she can really get out of the knot in her heart.
The next day, Wen Ning got up early, washed and tidied up, put on a white shirt and a pair of hot pants, and sat down in front of the dressing table.
In the mirror, her face was very thin, with a sharp jaw line, a pair of deep and attractive eyes like dewy roses, shimmering, with a sleepy feeling between her brows and eyes.
She put on plain makeup for herself, light coffee-colored eyebrows, thin brown inner eyeliner, and peach lip glaze that is so pale that it is almost transparent.
While eating breakfast, Wen Ning called her aunt and told her to send the money in two days.
When the aunt heard that it was 50 yuan, she refused to accept it, and only borrowed [-] yuan. Wen Ning talked and coaxed her aunt for a long time before she persuaded her aunt, and her heart also settled down.
Different from the past, this time it was not temporary stability, but the feeling of finally being able to lie down and rest after the dust settled.A breakfast is eaten more comfortably and unhurriedly than any other day in years.
At nine o'clock, Wen Ning received a call from Gu Chixi.
"Ningling, I'm at the door."
The man's voice was as gentle as ever, as if he was afraid of disturbing her, Wen Ning couldn't help but raise his heart when he listened, feeling inexplicably nervous, "Okay."
She hung up the phone and went to put on her shoes with her bag. The moment she opened the door, she looked back at the room. She was single when she left home today, and she was a married woman when she came back. She felt a little bit emotional and reluctant.
Going out of the gate, across the yard, a blue car parked outside.
The door at the back of the car opened, and Gu Chixi came down. She was also wearing a white shirt, with a regular style, long black hair hanging down her shoulders, light makeup on her face, and slightly redder lips than Wen Ning's. Wen Ning's figure was reflected in her quiet black eyes, and there was a ripple.
"Lemon -"
She curled her mouth and stepped forward.
Wen Ning's eyes fell on the car, looked it over, and asked in doubt, "Did you change the car?"
"Well," Gu Chixi took her hand, "Listen to you, arrange a meeting."
"..."
Wen Ning had long forgotten what she had said in Java. Now that she was reminded of it, she felt embarrassed. She pursed her lips, withdrew her hand, and opened the passenger door without saying a word.
"Let's sit in the back." Gu Chixi grabbed her arm.
"Oh."
The interior of the car is fresh and elegant off-white. Between the two seats in the back row is a pair of bear dolls holding hands. Wen Ning took a second look at the dolls. When Gu Chixi came up, she immediately looked away and lowered her head to play. cell phone.
"Xiao Fan, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Gu Chixi said to the driver.
"Ok."
After leaving Tianhe Bay, there are more and more cars on the road.
Wen Ning checked Weibo for a while, but didn't see any new topics. She put down her phone and raised her eyes. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Gu Chixi was looking at her. Her neck was stiff, and she pretended to turn to the other side naturally, looking at the scenery outside the window. .
The car was silent, the air conditioner was fully turned on, but the temperature seemed to rise imperceptibly, she raised her hand to brush her hair, and brushed her face with her fingertips, it was a little hot.
After a long time, the eyes beside him were retracted.
Wen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you brought all your documents?" Gu Chixi asked suddenly, and his eyes swept over again.
Wen Ning only nodded without looking at her.
Those who knew were going to get married, those who didn't know thought they were getting divorced, they didn't speak to each other, they didn't even make eye contact.There was a long silence, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.
"By the way," Wen Ning suddenly remembered something, turned her head and said, "I ran into Wan Siqi at the company yesterday, and she apologized to me, saying that she knew that the person who made the report was her roommate."
Gu Chixi was slightly startled, feeling the gaze cast from his side, his expression was a little unnatural, "Huh? And then?"
"Do you have anything to do with this matter?" Wen Ning stared at her face, not letting go of a subtle expression.
Gu Chixi had always been used to being indifferent, showing no emotions, but in front of Wen Ning, it was difficult for her to pretend, her uncontrollable emotions were revealed, and she was easily seen through.
There are relationships.
She didn't want Wen Ning to know that she was involved in it. After all, she promised to leave it alone last time, so she said vaguely, "Why do you think so?"
"Just answer me if I have." Wen Ning raised her chin, her tone a bit aggressive.
"...Yes." Gu Chixi knew she couldn't hide it, so she simply admitted, thinking that Wen Ning was angry, she hurriedly grabbed her hand and rubbed it comfortingly, "What did Wan Siqi say?"
Wen Ning couldn't help but laugh at her honesty and confession.
He was a completely different person from the President Gu he saw in the meeting room yesterday.
Wen Ning suffocated her laughter, forced a straight face, and recounted what had happened.
"Is it you who sent the text message?" She raised her eyebrows and asked.
Gu Chixi lowered her eyes, put her thumb into her palm, circling, caressing the lines on it carefully, after a while, nodded and said: "I sent it to Wan Siqi with my virtual network number, I didn't expect to be able to wake up." The function is just to remind her and try her luck. But I didn't expect her to break it by herself..."
Having said that, she glanced at Wen Ning guiltily, and her tone became weaker and weaker.
"I promised you to ignore this matter, but I didn't do it. I broke my promise. I... still don't want to see you being wronged. It's more sad than being wronged myself." After speaking, he raised his eyes, his eyes were deep looked at her deeply.
Her facial features are cold and deep, revealing a sense of arrogance of restraint and alienation, but her brows and eyes are filled with infinite gentleness, and her eyes are full of affection.
Wen Ning's heart trembled, her soul was taken away by those deep black eyes, a fierce electric current flowed through her limbs and bones in an instant, her head was a little dizzy, and her body also felt collapsed.
The car suddenly fell into silence, filled with deep breathing and chaotic heartbeats.
Peach lips are close at hand.
Suddenly, Wen Ning turned away and said with a smile, "Childish."
"..."
"You don't need to make a big fuss about such a trivial matter." She said coldly, looking out of the window, the window glass reflected the sour smile on her face, her eyelashes trembled and her eyes blinked rapidly.
Gu Chixi looked disappointed, held her hand tightly, and said, "Everything related to you is no small matter to me."
Wen Ning blinked and pursed her lips.
Although the matter has no direct causal relationship with Gu Chixi, but at least this person helped her, and she should say thank you in a reasonable way.She opened and closed her lips, thanking Gu Chixi in her heart, but the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak.
After a long time, Wen Ning said lightly, and said calmly, "You have to take care of it yourself."
Slightly raised brows, slightly raised chin, half pursed mouth - the window glass is clearly reflected, and it looks like a deadly arrogant.
Hearing this familiar tone, Gu Chixi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and said in a coquettish tone: "Yes, I am willing."
The little temper still hasn't changed.
She slowly rubbed Wen Ning's palm with her thumb, paused for a moment, carefully combed her five fingers apart, interlaced her own hand, and hooked the little finger.
Wen Ning retracted her hand, trying to take it back, but was held firmly.
"Let go!" She turned her head and glared.
Gu Chixi let go immediately.
--whispering sound.
Counseling to death.
And the boss.
Wen Ning slandered her, feeling particularly good.
……
There are very few same-sex couples who register with the Civil Affairs Bureau, no appointment is required, and the process is very fast.
When taking pictures, the staff asked the two to get closer. Gu Chixi was afraid that Wen Ning would be awkward, so he tilted his head, but Wen Ning also cooperated with him, and their faces bumped into each other unexpectedly.
Wen Ning: "..."
Gu Chixi: "..."
The two parted a little calmly and tacitly.
After receiving the marriage certificate, Wen Ning looked at the red book in her hand, without any ups and downs in her heart, as if she had just completed a task and had an explanation, and what happened afterward had nothing to do with her.
The moment she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she was still in a daze.
That's how you get married.
No floats, no wedding, no blessings.
The person around her was the one in the dream, but her own heart was not the one in the dream. It was a pity that the most beautiful and imaginative things in her life passed by so hastily.
She lowered her face and sighed, stuffing the documents in her bag indiscriminately.
Gu Chixi noticed Wen Ning's movements, and couldn't help but clenched the red book in her hand, her lips moved slightly, she probably knew what Wen Ning was thinking, in fact, that was also what she was thinking.She also wanted a sacred and romantic wedding, the blessings of her relatives and friends, and Wen Ning's heart.
However, the two are currently only in a contractual relationship, and even obtaining a certificate is just a process, and those beautiful things can only be imagined.
She lost Ningning's heart seven years ago.
"Let's go." Wen Ning opened the door and sat in.
Gu Chixi carefully put the marriage certificate away, got into the car, saw Wen Ning leaning against the back of the chair with her eyes closed, and thought about it: "Ning Ning, do you want to go to the hotel with me?"
"can."
The car drove slowly towards Roland International.
I don't remember when Gu Chixi fell in love with staying in a hotel. All kinds of suites are more comfortable and safer than at home—before she temporarily had no plans to buy a house to live in.
A person can live wherever he lives, as long as he can stay away from his mother.
The hotel is very large, with several high and low buildings adjacent to each other. There is a VIP elevator in the small door on the side of the lobby, specially guarded. Gu Chixi took Wen Ning in and went straight to the top floor.
The door opened, and outside was a cold and empty hall.
It is a typical English rural style, with fresh and elegant floral decorations everywhere. The colors are mostly plain white and cream green, which are transparent and comfortable. There are several landscape oil paintings on the walls, and there is an old-fashioned piano in the corner.
Gu Chixi covered the entire floor.
Walk through the lobby, open the sliding door, and there is a living room behind, with the master bedroom, second bedroom, cloakroom, bathroom, etc. on both sides, and there are other functional rooms at the other end, which are not commonly used.
"Ning Ning, do you think it's okay?" After Gu Chixi briefly introduced, he turned his consulting eyes to Wen Ning.
Wen Ning glanced around, and felt that there was nothing new, it was just a normal big suite. When she was a child, she often lived in it when she went out with her parents, but the design style here was very attractive to her, it didn't look like a hotel.
Due to work, she often lives in hotels and is hardly "picky eaters".
"Don't like it?"
Gu Chixi saw her in a daze, thought it was dissatisfaction, thought for a moment and said: "Then let's live in Tianhewan first, and go to the neighborhood near the company to look at the house together when we have time."
"Just here, it's good," Wen Ning shook her head and stretched her waist, "There's no need to buy a house, anyway, I'll leave after a year, wasteful, and save me from sharing your property."
Although the two are married by contract, it is legally binding after all. She has already taken so much money from others, and if she splits another sum during the divorce, she will feel embarrassed. If it can save trouble, she will not bother.
From now on, we must strictly abide by the terms of the "contract".
Gu Chixi was stunned, his eyes dimmed suddenly, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and changed the subject: "I have all the daily necessities ready, you pick a room, and you can come and stay here tonight."
"Tomorrow night, my shift the day after tomorrow."
"Okay," Gu Chixi nodded, "Then I'll go with you to Tianhe Bay."
Wen Ning: "..."
She pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, looked away calmly, and pointed to the master bedroom on the left, "You live in this room?"
"Ah."
"I live opposite." Wen Ning walked to the second bedroom on the right.
The bedroom alone is very large, with sofas, tables, chairs, balconies, and a 1.8-meter double bed covered with brand-new lavender sheets and duvet covers. There is even a mobile phone data cable at the head of the bed.Wen Ning walked around the room, opened the closet, and there was a row of clothes that hadn't been removed.
She froze for a moment, took out one casually and put it in front of her for gestures, it was almost suitable.
Open the bottom drawer, full of sets of underwear.
The man knew her size.
Wen Ning looked down at herself, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and the roots of her ears were hot.
It's Gu Chixi's style to be so well prepared overnight. She has always paid special attention to everything about Wen Ning.Wen Ning used to think that this was her own happiness, but now thinking about it, she can only sigh.
Take a good look at the room, it's noon, the two ordered a meal, and ate in the living room.
In the afternoon, Gu Chixi packed some of his luggage and followed Wen Ning to Tianhe Bay.
At two or three o'clock, thick dark clouds piled up in the sky, the light was dim, and a storm was about to fall.
Unlike Gu Chixi who prepared daily necessities overnight, Wen Ning hardly prepared anything. Fortunately, the guest room on the first floor was cleaned and it was fairly clean. She carried Gu Chixi's suitcase in, brought a vacuum cleaner, and vacuumed the remaining dust .
"You can live in this room, okay?" Wen Ning straightened her back and turned to look at Gu Chixi, "I have a backup of towels and toothbrushes, or you can buy them yourself later."
Gu Chixi stood at the door, staring at the next room. The door was open, and one could see that there were beds and traces of life inside.
She turned her gaze away, and did not answer Wen Ning, but pointed to the next room, "Is there anyone else at home?"
Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, Wen Ning choked for a few seconds, and said, "It's for Xiaoyu." Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by her, she avoided it a little, "She sometimes comes to play, here live."
Gu Chixi looked at her silently.
His dark eyes contained eternal ice, as if a storm was about to come.She barely hid her emotions, fell silent for a moment, suppressed it, and asked in a soft voice, "Does she come here often?"
"Three or four times a month..." Wen Ning lowered her face, a little guilty.
Ever since the two of them met unexpectedly last time, the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder in that confrontation was strong, and she seemed to be involved in the whirlpool inexplicably, pulled by two invisible pressures at the same time, and it was very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.
It's all because of this guy's paranoia.
she thinks.
Gu Chixi lowered his eyes, took two steps forward, stretched out his slender fingers to hook her, "We are married, we should sleep together."
"It's just a contract." Wen Ning shook off her hand, "Besides, who stipulates that married people can't sleep in separate rooms?"
"Lemon -"
Gu Chixi chased after her hand.
Wen Ning put her hands behind her back and took two steps back. The man refused to let her go. She was annoyed for a moment, and said in a cold voice, "Don't hold back, sleep on the street."
There are only five rooms in this house. The two upstairs are Wen Ning's bedroom and Wen Ning's parents' bedroom, and the three downstairs are a study and two guest rooms. One of them is for He Yu kept only one vacant room.
There is no choice.
Gu Chixi froze, with a complicated expression on his face.
In the past, every time they came to Wen Ning's house, they would sleep in the same bed. From childhood to adulthood, there was no exception. Now that she moved in as Wen Ning's wife, she could only sleep in the guest room.Upstairs and downstairs, the separation is like a moat, with a gap called "seven years" in between.
She lowered her eyes and didn't speak any more. She slowly retracted her hand that was hanging in the air, pushed the box to the closet, squatted down, and packed her luggage silently.
There was nothing but embarrassment in the room.
Looking at her lonely back, Wen Ning felt as if her heart had been pinched hard. It was soft and slumped, which was unpleasant. She was a little annoyed that she had spoken too much, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to apologize, so she just stayed stiff for a while. Just remembered to take something.
She carried the vacuum cleaner out, Gu Chixi stopped folding his clothes, his eyes were a little sour.
After a while, Wen Ning came in again, and handed a small bunch of keys to her, "The gold is for opening the courtyard door, and the silver is for the emergency key of the living room door. The code is 150711. If there is something wrong with the combination lock, use the emergency key to open the door."
Gu Chixi took the key without saying a word.
Wen Ning: "..."
--whispering sound.
And bet on her.
As for what.
childish!
"I've sterilized the wardrobe." Wen Ning said kindly, taking a peek inside the box.
Clothes, perfume, toiletries, computers, shoes... very common things, like traveling.
Gu Chixi moved slowly, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
"I dragged it over."
"Ah."
"Just cleaned it yesterday."
"Ah."
"I'll get you the bed sheet and quilt cover later, new ones."
"Ah."
"..."
Wen Ning clicked her tongue, a little helpless, but she couldn't hold back her face and apologized. After racking her brains, she finally brought up the topic: "Did you tell your mother about the marriage?"
Gu Chixi frowned slightly, "Not yet."
"Do you need to meet her? If she asks, we..."
"No need," Gu Chixi interrupted softly, "I'll just show her the marriage certificate."
"Oh."
Both of them were squatting on the ground, embarrassed, Wen Ning really couldn't think of anything to talk about, and was about to find an excuse to leave, when Gu Chixi suddenly said, "I have a dinner tonight, and I'll be back around eight or nine o'clock."
"... Oh." Wen Ning blinked, "Don't tell me, you can do whatever you want."
Gu Chixi pursed his lips.
A heavy rain fell and did not stop until after nine o'clock at night.
The bedroom was lit with warm yellow lights. Wen Ning had taken a shower and was chatting with He Yu on the sofa with her mobile phone in her arms. The air was a little cool after the rain. She left the glass sliding door of the balcony open and let the moist breeze blow in.
While chatting happily, there was the sound of a car approaching outside, Wen Ning got up and looked out, and saw the familiar blue Bentley parked at the door, Gu Chixi got down from it, it turned around and left.
She held her breath.
The courtyard door opened and closed, and then the door of the living room made a "beep" sound of the combination lock.
Wen Ning looked down at the time on her phone.
09: 30.
The night is dark, the cold white street lamps are desolate, the red brick house stands quietly in the darkness, a yellowish light leaks from the window, people sit by the window and concentrate.
She suddenly had a feeling of waiting for her family to return home late.
After Gu Chixi left in the afternoon, Wen Ning braved the heavy rain and went to the mall to buy some daily necessities according to the person's general preferences.Although she knew that Gu Chixi usually didn't need to open up fights, but she got married in a hurry and was not prepared for a while, it was okay to make do, so she took it as an apology for talking too much.
From now on, they will live without interfering with each other.
Wen Ning sighed softly, and lowered her head to reply He Yu's message. She felt a little hot at the moment, so she closed the sliding door, pulled up the curtain, and turned on the air conditioner.
—— tuk tuk tuk
The door was knocked.
Xu was not used to having people at home, Wen Ning was taken aback, and froze in place, staring at the door for a long time before realizing it, and went to open it.
Gu Chixi stood outside, his cold white face was as smooth as jade under the light, and there was tiredness in his brows and eyes.
"What's the matter?" Wen Ning asked, looking over the pajamas and toiletries in her hand.
Gu Chixi looked a little embarrassed, and said: "The toilet downstairs is too big, I'm not used to it, can I take a shower upstairs?"
"..."
What kind of strange habit is this?
Obviously not before.
Wen Ning didn't think much about it, bathing upstairs and downstairs was the same, so she nodded and said, "It's fine, whatever you want."
Gu Chixi turned around and went into the next bathroom.
The sound insulation of the room was not bad, Wen Ning closed the door, held the phone and continued chatting with He Yu, only the faint sound of dripping water could be heard.While chatting, she lay down, her eyelids clenched a little.
—— tuk tuk tuk
There was another knock on the door.
Wen Ning woke up instantly, got up and opened the door.
"what happened again?"
"I have nothing to do, let's chat with you."
Gu Chixi was wearing a translucent nightdress with suspenders. Just after taking a shower, her cheeks were slightly pink, and her jet-black fluffy hair was draped softly behind her shoulders, fading away the cold alienation, showing a bit of gentleness soft.
Wen Ning stared at her intently, her throat slipped, and she pretended to be cold, "I don't want to talk."
"I'm scared alone."
"..."
Then you are not afraid of living alone in the whole floor of the hotel?Wen Ning rolled her eyes in her heart.
"Okay?" Gu Chixi looked at her pleadingly.
Lemon likes this set the most.
Wen Ning's mind buzzed, her heart softened uncontrollably, but she refused to compromise completely, and was entangled
