How to trap a beautiful wife
Chapter 21
Chu Ci's fever did not subside until the third day, and then turned into a severe cold, and it took a week to fully recover.
When he went out again, he felt that the outside world had changed, like a painting with a light green background, full of vitality everywhere.
He went outside to take pictures as usual, and Professor Smith contacted him two days ago, asking him to take some city landscape photos for the magazine.
After staying outside for a full day, Chu Ci received a message from Chen Xun in the evening, asking where he was.
The names of some roads in City S are long and convoluted, and Chu Ci was too lazy to type, so he just sent a location.
Chen Xun, who was in a meeting, suddenly smiled when he received the orientation.
Although he knew that Chu Ci probably did it unintentionally, such a reply really gave him a great sense of security.
The head of the technical department who was reporting was stunned for a while, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Chen, is there a problem?"
On the side, Liang Xiangcong couldn't help but rolled his eyes and coughed heavily.
Chen Xun quickly replied a message, and then locked the screen: "Sorry, you continue."
At the same time, Chu Ci received a message:
[Do you need me to pick you up? 】
He put the camera on his shoulder and typed slowly: [No, I'm going home. 】;
After waiting for a while, but seeing no reply from Chen Xun, Chu Ci put away his phone and walked to the bus stop.Passing by a bookstore on the way, he saw Forbes magazine on the glass window at a glance.
The cover character of this issue is none other than Chen Xun.
Chu Ci walked in immediately.
The magazine was placed in a conspicuous place in the store. He picked up one, carefully looked at the man in the photo, and then flipped through the inside pages, and found that his name was with Chen Xundeng.
He immediately wanted to buy all the magazines in the store and collect them.
But if you want to buy it back, there is no place to put it, and Chen Xun will find it, so you have to give up.
At this time, two young girls came in from the outside and also stopped in front of the magazine column.One of them picked up Forbes magazine, and after a small exclamation, he pointed to Chen Xun's photo, and said to his companion in a bragging tone, "I've seen this guy before, he's even more handsome in real life than in the photo."
"Wow really?" the companion asked, "Where did you see it?"
"At our company's annual dinner, he was the guest of our boss. After that dinner, at least half of the people in the company were talking about him. I heard that our boss' daughter fell in love with him at first sight, and the boss was very satisfied with him."
"and then?"
"Then who knows, such a high-quality man will definitely not be short of companions." The girl put down the magazine and picked up a fashion magazine next to her. It looks so good, I want to buy it..."
Chu Ci listened with mixed emotions, went to the cashier to pay, and left the bookstore.
He only received Chen Xun's reply on the bus, a simple [um].
Chu Ci locked the screen and pressed his forehead against the window.
After the meeting, when Chen Xun returned to the office from the meeting room, Liang Xiangcong was counting his "crimes" in detail.
"Not paying attention in a meeting, not paying attention in a meeting!"
Chen Xun was speechless: "This is one."
Liang Xiangcong put his hands on his hips: "Say important things three times."
Chen Xun said "As you please", and pushed open the office door.
Liang Xiangcong was always the one who was scolded before, but now he switched positions with Chen Xun, and he was a little excited.He followed Chen Xun into the office, saw the Forbes magazine on the desk, and said with a "hehe": "Who took this photo for you, it's really good."
The corner of Chen Xun's lips curled up.
"If you don't tell me, I'll look for it myself." Liang Xiangcong started flipping through the pages, "Next time I have an interview, I'll ask this person to take pictures for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was empty, and the magazine was taken away by Chen Xun.Liang Xiangcong raised his head and met Chen Xun's unhappy face: "You think too much."
Liang Xiangcong didn't realize for a while, what is thinking too much.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Chen Xun pick up the car keys and hurriedly stopped him, "Where are you going? There's a reception tonight, don't forget."
"I haven't forgotten, I'll go home and change." Chen Xun walked around him.
Liang Xiangcong snorted: "Changing clothes is fake, go home and see if your baby bump is real."
Speaking of this, Liang Xiangcong suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Why don't you take him with you?"
Chen Xun stopped.
As soon as Liang Xiangcong clapped his hands, he felt more and more that his proposal was feasible.He had been curious about Chu Ci for a long time, but Chen Xun hid Chu Ci like a treasure, and he couldn't see it even if he wanted to.
"Your precious lump has just returned to China, so he probably doesn't have many friends, and you can't let him stay at home." Liang Xiangcong analyzed logically, "Sooner or later, he has to integrate into your circle of friends, sooner rather than later."
Seeing that Chen Xun was obviously moved, Liang Xiangcong continued to beat the side drum: "Also, I met Ji Feng two days ago, and he asked me about you again. I guess it's probably because his younger brother still misses you. Anyway, the reception tonight is not that much It's official, you can just bring people over and announce it directly."
After knowing each other for so many years, it was the first time that Chen Xun sincerely thanked this partner.
He patted Liang Xiangcong on the shoulder: "Thank you."
-
Chu Ci returned home, poured himself a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa in a daze.
The words of the girl in the bookstore kept circling in his mind.
Chu Ci was not surprised that other people would admire Chen Xun.When he was in school, Chen Xun was very popular. Some students from other schools even left messages on the confession wall.But at that time, Chu Ci was very confident, and he was the only one in his brother's eyes.
But now he has nothing, not only has a "conviction" of cheating feelings, but also suffers from ailments, while Chen Xun has achieved great success.
Chu Ci suddenly felt depressed. It was probably because Chen Xun had taken care of him too gently during the week of his illness, which gave him unrealistic fantasies.
He knew he shouldn't, but couldn't help it.
He didn't understand why Chen Xun asked to marry him, and he kept avoiding thinking about it.Obviously Chen Xun has so many choices, and every choice is better than him.
He also didn't know how to define the relationship with Chen Xun.They shared the same bed, but they spoke very politely and kept a safe distance from each other. He stayed in the living room, while Chen Xun would go to the study, as if he had endless work to do, and usually he would not return to the bedroom until he fell asleep.They are not like husband and wife, nor are they like lovers, maybe they are not even ordinary friends.
Chu Ci was immersed in complicated thoughts, and did not hear the sound of the door opening. When he recovered, Chen Xun was already standing in front of him, and his eyes fell on his knees.
It was only then that Chu Ci remembered that there was still a magazine on his lap, but it was obviously too late to put it away now, so he could only say, "I bought it when I saw it on the road."
Chen Xun bent down to pick up the magazine, glanced at the cover, and commented: "It's a good shot."
Chu Ci: "..."
Is it a compliment or a boast.
Chen Xun asked casually, "Are there any plans for the evening?"
Chu Ci shook his head.
Chen Xun nodded, loosened his tie, and suddenly asked, "Then do you want to go with me?"
Chu Ci was curious: "Where are you going?"
"A reception, with my friends and some business acquaintances."
On the way back, Chen Xun kept thinking about how to invite Chu Ci so as not to be rejected.He thought about taking people there directly, but in the end he decided to make it clear and let Chuci decide for himself.
Thinking of something, Chen Xun continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to drink, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to socialize with them. This is not a formal occasion, and there are not so many rules."
"You can eat something, go shopping, and if you don't want to stay, we can come back earlier." He paused, his tone became a little obscure, "Anyway, you can do whatever you want."
Hearing this, Chu Ci suddenly laughed, and the previous depression was swept away.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but he could hear the nervousness in Chen Xun's words.
Hearing that it was a reception, his first reaction was repulsion. He has attended countless receptions and banquets since he was a child.
What's more, places with many people always make him feel anxious, and his ears are not working well from time to time, and sometimes it is difficult to hear what others say.
But Chen Xun invited him, and he didn't want to refuse.
"Okay."
Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Ci thought of a question: "But I don't have a dress."
Chen Xun gave a strange answer: "Go and have a look in the cloakroom."
Chu Ci walked towards the cloakroom full of curiosity, wondering if Chen Xun let him wear his clothes?But Chen Xun's size is two sizes bigger than him, so it shouldn't fit.
After entering, Chu Ci discovered that the part of the closet that belonged to him was full of clothes at some point.
He was very surprised, at first he thought it was Chen Xun's, but after looking at the size, he realized that these clothes belonged to him.
Chu Ci stared blankly at the closet, where suits, dresses, casual wear, and even sportswear were available for all seasons, neatly arranged by color and style.There are several pairs of brand new leather shoes on the bottom floor.
He felt like he could stop buying clothes for a whole year.
Footsteps came from behind, Chu Ci turned his head and met Chen Xun's eyes, not missing the flashing smile.
"See if there is anything you like. If not, we can buy it. There is enough time." Chen Xun said.
The heartstrings were gently plucked, Chu Ci looked back and said softly: "No need, these are very good."
Chen Xun agreed: "Then I'll go out and wait for you."
"Wait a minute." Chu Ci stopped him, paused for a few seconds and asked, "Is that what you're wearing?"
Chen Xun usually wears a full suit at work, mainly in solid colors, with a simple style. Today he is wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt inside. It is stylish and more than enough for a reception.
After getting an affirmative answer, Chu Ci's eyes stayed on Chen Xun for several seconds: "Wait for me, I will change my clothes soon."
He picked out a light gray dress from the closet, matching it with a navy blue bow tie and leather shoes of the same color.
After putting it on, Chu Ci looked at the mirror, exhaled lightly, raised his hand unconsciously, and touched the small diamond on his left ear.
When going out, his heartbeat would inevitably speed up. In the past, he was never ashamed to show his body in front of Chen Xun, but he didn't expect to become shy when he put on clothes now.
Chen Xun was not in the living room.
Chu Ci searched around the house and found him in the study.
Chen Xun was standing in front of the window with his back to the door. When he heard the movement, he turned around, was slightly startled, and then beckoned to Chu Ci: "Come here."
Chu Ci obediently walked over and saw Chen Xun holding a box in his hand.
Chen Xun didn't keep him waiting, he directly opened the box and handed it over.
Inside the box is an earring.
Chu Ci raised his head in surprise, glanced at Chen Xun quickly, then lowered his head again.
This time he looked carefully, it was a rose-shaped earring.
Much like the tattoo on his shoulder.
Chu Ci's hands trembled a little, and he heard Chen Xun ask him in a deep voice, "Do you like it?"
