Through Thick and Thin

Yuan Ning never thought that he would accidentally see such an embarrassing scene.

He invited several well-known securities analysts to dinner today, and he chose this high-end western restaurant on the top floor of a bustling shopping mall.

During the meal, Yuan Ning got up and went to the bathroom, but when he walked through the corridor, he accidentally saw a familiar figure in the booth area near the viewing platform.

Yuan Ning paused in surprise, isn't that Mr. Lu?

Lu Chuiqing sat at the table facing his direction. In front of him sat a man in a suit and leather shoes. There was no dinner on the table, but a red wine glass and one or two small desserts.

Yuan Ning thought that Mr. Lu probably came here for dinner with his friends, since they met by coincidence, they simply went up to say hello.

Yuan Ning was about to go up to say hello, but noticed that Lu Chuiqing's expression did not appear to be relaxed and relaxed as if he was having a dinner with friends, but pursed his lips slightly, with a little apology and sadness in his eyes.

The conversation between the two seemed to be over, Lu Chuiqing stood up, finally said something to the man in front of him, turned and left.However, the man suddenly stood up again, grabbed Lu Chuiqing's wrist, and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around him.

At that moment, Yuan Ning saw the man's side face clearly, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

Yuan Ning recognized the other party. He was Chen Yuan, the manager of the Marketing Department of Shengan Insurance.Since he and Manager Qian are good friends, and Manager Qian and Manager Chen were former classmates, with this relationship, Yuan Ning and Chen Yuan met in some business and social occasions, which can only be regarded as the relationship of exchanging business cards. .

This hug was very short. After it was over, Lu Chuiqing just nodded at Chen Yuan, then turned and left.

Even so, this hug seems too sentimental, Yuan Ning is someone who is talking about feelings, of course it can be seen that this is probably not a hug between ordinary friends.

He immediately stood there in embarrassment. Although he didn't want to guess something unfounded, it was really hard not to think about such a scene.Yuan Ning would rather have never seen it at all, and hurried through the corridor, avoiding Chen Yuan's sight.

When Yuan Ning came back from the bathroom, Chen Yuan was still sitting there.Yuan Ning glanced up at him, and Chen Yuan didn't look like the professional elite who shone brightly in social situations in his memory, but just an ordinary man with eyes full of pain and despair.

Until Yuan Ning finished today's dinner and left the restaurant with a group of friends, Chen Yuan was still alone.

Yuan Ning drove a few people to the hotel before returning to his home.On the way home, Yuan Ning received a call from Xiao Zhan, who called to ask about some matters discussed at the dinner just now.

After talking about the work, Yuan Ning hesitated for a moment, and the scene he saw in the restaurant just now appeared in his mind.No matter what, this kind of matter is Xiao Zhan's private matter. As a subordinate, he really shouldn't talk about it casually.

But Yuan Ning has worked for Xiao Zhan for so long, and feels that Mr. Lu should not be kept from the boss. What if Mr. Lu has some troubles and it is not convenient to tell the boss?

After much deliberation, Yuan Ning finally said in a roundabout way: "By the way, Mr. Xiao... I happened to see Mr. Lu in the restaurant when I was eating just now."

"Xiaoqing?" Xiao Zhan said, "He told me that he went to see his friend."

Hearing what Xiao Zhan said, Yuan Ning was even more uncertain: "Do you know the manager Chen Yuan of the Marketing Department of Shengan Insurance?"

"I know him, but I can't even call him an acquaintance." Xiao Zhan paused, his voice became a little slow, "Is he Xiaoqing's friend?"

Yuan Ning sighed in his heart: "Yes."

"Well, I see." Xiao Zhan said lightly, "You have worked hard today, go to bed early."

At this time, Lu Chuiqing hadn't expected it at all, but when he was taking a shower, Xiao Zhan, who was dealing with official business in the study, knew clearly what he planned to hide from him when he made a phone call.

Lu Chuiqing took a comfortable bath, and when she was about to change into her pajamas, she realized that she forgot to look for underwear in the closet.Looking at the empty shelf, Lu Chuiqing pursed her lips in embarrassment.

Although Xiao Zhan told him to call him for something, Lu Chuiqing really didn't have the face to shout at Xiao Zhan to ask him to give him underwear.

Xiao Zhan was working in the study next door, so he probably didn't come back so soon, not to mention that there was a cloakroom outside the bathroom door, so Lu Chuiqing hurried out to find underwear and put it on without any problem.

Wearing loose pajamas, Lu Chuiqing gently opened the door of the bathroom.He stepped on the rug in the cloakroom with bare feet, and just came out of the steaming bathroom, his naked lower body was still a little cold.

He walked to the closet, opened it, and searched for the drawers, but there were two whole wardrobes with two walls in the cloakroom, and there was more than one drawer. Lu Chuiqing searched around among Xiao Zhan's various clothes, but couldn't find them. Where did Xiao Zhan put the new underwear?

Lu Chuiqing searched around again, only to see that there were two drawers under the covered cabinet door, and she was bending down to pull them open to look, when the half-hidden bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Lu Chuiqing didn't notice that the bedroom door was pushed open, he found the underwear in the cardboard box of the drawer, and was taking it out to wear, when Xiao Zhan's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Done the washing?"

Lu Chuiqing was so frightened that the underwear in his hand fell off, he turned around suddenly, and subconsciously pulled down the hem of his pajamas, barely covering his thighs.

Xiao Zhan folded his arms and leaned against the door of the cloakroom, looking at him leisurely.

When Lu Chuiqing remembered that she was facing the door with her bare legs bent over and her buttocks raised, the tips of her ears burned red.Although his face was very red, he still tried his best to pretend to be calm. Anyway, he had nothing to hide in front of Xiao Zhan, and his timidity seemed to be hypocritical.

Lu Chuiqing coughed twice: "Well... I forgot to take my underwear when I took a shower just now, so I came out to look for it."

Xiao Zhan stepped forward, bent down and took out the pair of underwear that fell from Lu Chuiqing's hand just now from the drawer, sat down on the sofa stool in the center of the room, stretched his legs loosely, and stretched his slender index fingers and thumbs Open the edge of the panties, motioning for Lu Chuiqing to come over and put them on.

Lu Chuiqing was stunned for two seconds. After some psychological hints, the temperature of her cheeks that had finally recovered a little bit came up again.

Xiao Zhan: "Don't catch a cold."

Obviously Xiao Zhan's expression was the same as usual, but Lu Chuiqing somehow felt a little weak in his heart.He hesitated for two seconds, then walked slowly, stepping on the carpet under the sofa chair with his toes.

He slowly raised one leg, stretched his toes slightly, and passed through the thin layer of fabric. The skin of his thigh inevitably rubbed against Xiao Zhan's fingers, which made him feel a little itchy.

The hem of the pajamas was gently lifted up with his posture, and the full and flexible legs were looming in the undulations of the fabric.

After putting both legs in, Xiao Zhan lifted up the underwear for him, wrapped his buttocks, and smoothed out the folds on the edges with his fingers.

His palm slid down against his waistline, and finally clasped it on his hip. Lu Chuiqing couldn't help but fell forward, put his arms on Xiao Zhan's shoulders, and staggered and knelt on Xiao Zhan's lap.

Lu Chuiqing stammered slightly: "...what's the matter?"

Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand and adjusted the position of Lu Chuiqing's knee that was kneeling beside him, so that Lu Chuiqing could sit on his lap more comfortably, and asked, "How was your dinner?"

Lu Chuiqing: "Huh? It's pretty good."

"With which friend?"

Lu Chuiqing's eyes flickered, he could neither tell the truth to Xiao Zhan, nor was he really willing to lie to him, so he could only speak half truth and half lie: "A friend I have known for a long time... I met him when I was a graduate student, Those who work in the insurance industry haven’t seen each other for a long time, so let’s get together.”

"A classmate?"

It would be more reasonable to say that they met when they were graduate students, and that they were classmates, so Lu Chuiqing replied: "Yeah."

Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked again: "Do I know you?"

When Xiao Zhan asked such a question, Lu Chuiqing felt something was wrong. Most people would not deliberately think about the extremely small probability that they and their lover's classmates would know each other, would they?

Lu Chuiqing's expression became a little more embarrassed. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible for Xiao Zhan to know who he went to meet tonight, but when it comes to Chen Yuan, with such a wide social network in the capital circle, Xiao Zhan might not really know him.

But now that the classmate has already said this, Lu Chuiqing can only catch the duck on the shelf and roll the snowball: "You don't know me... my classmate, the chance of you knowing it is too small."

Xiao Zhan sniffed lightly around Lu Chuiqing's neckline, and smelled the scent of shower gel on his body, as well as another very faint smell, and whispered: "When you first entered the door, the collar on the It smells of unfamiliar Alpha pheromones, and it still exists."

Lu Chuiqing took a deep breath, and his mind suddenly exploded. Alpha's pheromones?Is it from Chen Yuan?When did you leave it? !Is it time for a hug!

Lu Chuiqing felt that he couldn't speak clearly now, and was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground. If he had known, he would have told the truth to Xiao Zhan!

Lovers have Alpha pheromones?This is worth it!Fortunately, Xiao Zhan didn't ask him when he came in. If it was him, he would have been angry if he smelled other Omega on Xiao Zhan!

Alpha and Omega not only release pheromones when they are sexually stimulated, but sometimes they can't control their scent marking behavior when their psychological mood fluctuates greatly, especially when Alpha faces Omega, so the pheromone smell left behind is very Difficult to wash off with normal cleaning products.

"Besides, this 'classmate' of yours who works as a manager at Sheng'an Insurance should be around my age." Xiao Zhan stared at Lu Chuiqing's panicked eyes, tightened his arms, and lowered his voice, "Aren't you going to tell me the truth? "

Lu Chuiqing was completely paralyzed, with doubts and guilt in her heart, and said sullenly: "Okay, I'm sorry, I lied to you just now, how do you know who I went to see... But Xiao Zhan, I promise nothing will happen. Happened! Really! Don't get me wrong!"

Xiao Zhan hugged him, raised his chin, as if waiting for his explanation.

"Manager Chen and I met at the company's anniversary last time, and then we met again when I was on a business trip. He told me later that he had a crush on me." Lu Chuiqing could only tell the truth this time, using his eyes constantly Glancing at Xiao Zhan, "But I always planned to refuse, and this time I went to talk to him. Before leaving, he hugged me... It's a farewell, the pheromone should be attached at that time... ...That's it, there's nothing else, if you don't believe me, I'll show you our chat history!"

Lu Chuiqing wanted to get off Xiao Zhan to get his mobile phone, but Xiao Zhan hugged him back and asked, "Why do you have to see him?"

Lu Chuiqing admired Xiao Zhan so much that he could ask him about the point where he was choked up.Indeed, it is actually enough to refuse a confession message from someone you don’t know well. There is really no need to say it in person. If you have to meet this side, it is either because of a special relationship or because you have a reason to meet.

Lu Chuiqing: "No matter what, he's still my boss's friend. It's more polite to meet him...By the way, you haven't told me how you know it yet!"

"Yuan Ning treated guests at the restaurant you went to, and said that he saw you there by chance."

Lu Chuiqing stared in surprise, she secretly refused other people's confession without telling her boyfriend, and even met her boyfriend's subordinates, this luck is out of luck, he might as well stop trading in securities and buy lottery tickets!

He stared at Xiao Zhan, after much deliberation, he sincerely apologized, and said nervously, "It was my fault for hiding it from you...you're not angry with me, are you?"

Xiao Zhan stood up from the sofa and held Lu Chuiqing around his waist without letting go.Lu Chuiqing hugged his shoulders nervously, and suddenly thought in a wild way, Xiao Zhan seemed... like to hug him like this?

Then, Lu Chuiqing faintly smelled a hint of wine overflowing, cool and spicy, this is the smell of Xiao Zhan's pheromone.

"You want to wash off other people's pheromones," Xiao Zhan hugged Lu Chuiqing to the bed, kissed the back of his neck lightly, with a heavy light in his eyes, "It's still covered by me ?”
