In the golden cage

Ji Shaoting only looked at the location of Li Chen's company, the trade center, the tallest building in Nanyun City from the balcony of his home, piercing the surrounding rolling commercial buildings like bullets.

He has been Mrs. Li for a while, and he has never been to Li Chen's company.

More precisely, he never went out of his own volition.The last time was because his brother came suddenly, he had to appear in front of him, and he couldn't let his brother realize that this marriage was actually tantamount to house arrest.

Ji Shaoting has always been obedient, and Li Chen is their family's great benefactor, Ji Shaoting will do whatever he says.He said he wanted to stay at home, so Ji Shaoting would stay at home well.

This time he dared to be disobedient because he was sure that he had real weight in Li Chen's heart.

The end of the trip to England was extremely bad, but there was only the end, Ji Shaoting was happy in the rest of the minutes.If there is any gain, it is the most conclusive evidence of love.

Of course, Ji Shaoting was still worried that it would disturb Li Chen's work.When he walked through the bustling commercial street on a winter night with an insulated box in his hand, what he thought in his heart was that he had to let the front desk inform him first after he went up. If it was convenient for Mr. Li to come out to meet him, if not, he would stay for supper and leave.

Anyway, after he suffered like this, his desire to reconcile has already been conveyed.Although Li Chen is childish, he will not fail to understand this bit of human sophistication.

And then it was to see if he came back, in the comfortable and warm quilt, would he come to hug him ferociously and tenderly.

Thinking of this, Ji Shaoting had a slight smile on his face, but felt a little bit sad in his heart.

If things really ended like this, Li Chen would never apologize to him.

The lady at the front desk asked your surname, and after hearing Ji Shaoting's answer, she immediately widened her almond eyes: "Could it be that you are...?"

Ji Shaoting paused for two seconds before intermittently answering yes.The front desk lady then changed her words to the secretary on the other end of the call: "It's President Li's wife, I'll send him up right now."

Now it's impossible to just leave the supper and leave. Ji Shaoting took Li Chen's special elevator to the upper floors, and the tension increased as the floors climbed.

The lady at the front desk was also obviously very nervous, and she stammered a little: "You, are you giving Mr. Li a late-night snack?"

Ji Shaoting: "Hey, hey."

"Really, really caring! No wonder everyone says Mr. Li loves his wife!" She seemed to want to liven up the atmosphere of this short one minute, so she found a short topic to start, "I stopped working, just to show you Going abroad to play, you must know that Mr. Li is a workaholic!"

Ji Shaoting's heart trembled, and he replied softly: "Really?"

"Of course!" The little girl who works as a receptionist is a smart person, and she can tell that Ji Shaoting is easy to get along with, and she is in a relaxed state, "I really care about work, or I will work overtime as soon as I come back!"

Li Chen should attach great importance to this honeymoon trip.

Ji Shaoting thought that Li Chen might be very disappointed when things ended like this.

In the end, it's just that he doesn't know how to express it. Li Chen has always been an awkward person.

"Mrs. Li," the little girl said with a smile, "here, let's surprise you!"

Ji Shaoting came back to his senses, and said strangely: "You didn't talk to him..."

The secretary shook her head and stood up from her seat, and pointed out to Ji Shaoting a short corridor covered with a dark blue carpet, and at the end was a pair of polished wooden doors.

After walking a few steps, Ji Shaoting heard the little girl screaming with all her strength: "Ah——so sweet, so sweet! I never imagined that Mr. Li could have such a sweet love!"

"Don't drag me." The secretary replied coldly.

Ji Shaoting didn't know why he wanted to smile bitterly.He didn't feel like a wife who came to care about her husband, but more like a job applicant who came to interview.He took two deep breaths before he dared to knock on the door.

Li Chen didn't say please come in, he just pushed the door lock with a click.

When Ji Shaoting opened the door and entered, Li Chen was lowering his head and lighting a cigarette.

The smooth finger lines held the flickering flames, and the smoke rolled out from between the fingers.After lighting it, he put down the lighter, held the cigarette in one hand, cast it in the seat, and stared at the photo frame at the corner of the table.

It took a while to realize that the figure at the door was motionless and very quiet, and when he turned his eyes and saw Ji Shaoting, he was stunned.

Then came a fairly swift set of reflexes: he yanked across the ashtray and stifled the cigarette.

Not knowing that this was just exposing more, Ji Shaoting glanced at the cigarette holder in the ashtray and said, "It turns out that Mr. Li smokes." He smoked so hard.

Li Chen coughed twice, avoiding Ji Shaoting's eyes and replied: "Occasionally."

Ji Shaoting turned around and closed the door, and walked up with the insulated box, as if to expose the matter, and said something else: "I brought supper, not leftovers, it is specially made again."

Then he glanced at the photo frame on the corner of the table, and the hand that was untying the chain froze immediately.

It's their wedding photo.

The red background curtain is as red as the color of the heart.They were wearing the plain white couple shirts with a small blue stripe on the left side of the cuffs.Li Chen was smiling, his eyes were infinitely gentle, and he could tell how happy he was through the photos.

Ji Shaoting turned to look at Li Chen.This time he saw clearly, Li Chen's reaction was very strange, his ears were very red, and his eyes wandered.

Ji Shaoting suddenly remembered that the little girl at the front desk had told him: No wonder everyone said Mr. Li loves his wife!

Li Chen was made uncomfortable by this sudden outburst, and couldn't bear the atmosphere of confession, he reached out his hand to take off the photo frame that was the culprit, but Ji Shaoting held down his hand first.

There is the smell of undissolved smoke hovering between the two.

A warm and loving look that Li Chen had never seen gradually appeared on Ji Shaoting's face, and even his tone of voice was very different from usual. "Achen," he whispered this nickname from the bottom of his heart, with an unreasonable desire to be his real partner, "I won't smoke from now on."

Li Chen looked up at Ji Shaoting and said in a daze, "Yes."

Ji Shaoting withdrew the hand that was pressing the back of Li Chen's hand, unzipped the thermal bag again, and asked in the most homely tone, "Are you tired?"

"No—" Li Chen paused, and changed his words before finishing "not tired", "The shoulders are a little..."

"It's sore from sitting for a long time, isn't it?" Ji Shaoting put the dim sum on the table one by one, "Eat it, I'll rub it for you."

There was no more conversation, but the embarrassment was gone.Ji Shaoting rubbed Li Chen's shoulders, and Li Chen buried himself in eating the supper prepared by Ji Shaoting.

Both of them seemed to have found the most natural state, and for this reason, they both had inexplicable feelings in their hearts.

Li Chen did have work to deal with, but he planned to go home with Ji Shaoting right now.Ji Shaoting thinks that in his eyes, he is really more important than work.Although it was difficult to remain calm, it was precisely because of this that Li Chen could not be left alone.A qualified partner should support the other's career, not hinder it.

Seeing Li Chen's stubborn appearance, Ji Shaoting couldn't help smiling and asked, "I'll go home and warm your quilt first, okay?"

Li Chen suddenly remembered that common saying: Wife and children are hot on the bed.

Then Ji Shaoting added another sentence: "Good boy."

Li Chen: "Then...you go home first..."

But he insisted on taking Ji Shaoting downstairs, using the staff elevator, for fear that others would not know that his wife came to bring him snacks.

The driver was already waiting outside, Ji Shaoting did not allow Li Chen to see him off at every step: "Work is important, okay?"

Li Chen felt that Ji Shaoting already knew how to take advantage of his weaknesses, as long as he made a request in such a gentle voice, he would have no way of refusing it.He was a little unwilling, but he was very contradictory. He was willing and unwilling.

"Well," Li Chen heard that his tone was also very strange, it was a coquettish tone, "then you have to wait for me to come back."

Ji Shaoting smiled and said yes.

There is no snow in Nanyun, and there is no clear snow scene.In places beyond the reach of the brilliant lights, the alleyways between tall buildings are like ditches.

Sitting in the back row, Ji Shaoting stared at the little plastic bird in the front seat of the car. It was red and a little brown, and it was fixed under the front window glass with strong adhesive glass glue, which meant eternal life.

Ji Shaoting stared at the joint for a while, and saw Li Chen's hug, the same form of toughness, stickiness, and never separation.He has always only felt afraid of Ji Shaoting, but now he feels a little ashamed for no reason.He blushed and quickly looked away.

Then, I saw a face that was not unfamiliar from the window of the crowded car as I walked slowly.

With a delicate face full of desire, Ji Shaoting thought he should have put on makeup.This bustling commercial street is full of people, Ji Shaoting didn't know why he noticed him, but soon he understood, because he was the one who had been staring at him first.

Ji Shaoting hesitated for two seconds, and still let the driver drive first, leave for a while, and soon catch up.

"Hello." Ji Shaoting got out of the car door, stepped forward, and chose the shortest and most unproblematic opening remarks.

"Hello." The male student smiled and stretched his facial muscles, letting Ji Shaoting see that there was indeed makeup on his face, and he couldn't help but lament whether everything was necessary, this little boy was obviously at his best age.

But he didn't think about it anymore. If this matter is to be resolved, now is the best time: "I wouldn't hold on to what Ah Chen did before, but now he is a very competent husband, and that's enough."

"Really?" The male student tilted his head, one corner of his mouth curled up, "But President Li asked me to come tonight."
