How to trap a beautiful wife

Chen Xun's heart tightened suddenly.

It was a sound he would never forget.

Pausing for a moment, he turned around stiffly like a marionette.

Seeing that handsome face, Chu Ci froze for a moment.

He fantasized that he might meet Chen Xun when he returned to China, but the idea disappeared after only a whirl in his mind.

In the vast sea of ​​people, even if they stepped on the same land, how could they meet so coincidentally.

But just happened to meet.

There were three people standing in the originally fairly wide corridor, which seemed a bit crowded.Chu Ci felt that there was not even enough air.

He was a little out of breath, and subconsciously touched the ear stud.This was his habitual action when he was nervous, but he held back the moment he raised his hand.

Chen Xun had always been his greatest source of security, but he felt unprecedentedly nervous in front of him.

He couldn't do anything, just being fixed in place by Chen Xun's eyes.The phone slipped from the palm and fell on the carpet embroidered with dark red crabapple flowers.

The stagnant atmosphere allowed time to extend infinitely, just a few seconds seemed as long as a century.

Chen Xun's Adam's apple slipped, staring at the familiar face for a few seconds, his eyes fixed on those eyes.

From the very beginning, he knew that Chu Ci had a pair of beautiful eyes, black and bright, innocent and innocent like a small animal.When you look at a person, there is light in your eyes, so focused, so affectionate, as if you are his whole world.

He also naively thought that he was the whole world of Chuci, until he was ruthlessly abandoned.

A voice brought Chen Xun back from his memories.

"Xiaoci, what's the matter?"

Chen Xun's limbs had just regained a little feeling, and they were thrown into a deeper and colder ice cellar, and even his heart was paralyzed.

He recognized who the owner of the voice was.

As if waking up from a dream, Chu Ci hurriedly picked up the phone, said to Gu Qi'an, "I'll call you as soon as I have something to do," and hung up the video call.He thought he was calm, but actually put the phone into his pocket in a frantic manner, without taking his hand out, he clenched it tightly in his pocket, with his fingertips against his palm.

He opened his lips and closed them again, and after repeated several times, he made a faint breath sound from his throat.

But Chen Xun still heard it.

"What a coincidence." Chu Ci said.

Chen Xun didn't need to look in the mirror to know how ugly his expression was.

As the party who was discarded back then, he always thought that if we meet again, we must ask clearly the reason for leaving.

But Chu Ci's "I miss you too" makes him feel like a balloon that has been punctured, instantly deflated.

What can I do if I ask it out, but I will humiliate myself.

Chen Xun hummed, the voice was not loud, he was not sure if Chu Ci heard it.The diamond on the earbone of the left ear in front of him reflected the light in the corridor, making him feel dazzling.

He lowered his eyes, showing an impeccable and perfect smile, but his tone was indifferent.

"It's a coincidence."

Another long silence.

The unexpected reunion is always suffocating.

Chu Ci just wanted to escape quickly, turned his eyes to other places, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Chen Xun moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he remained silent in the end.

Chu Ci nodded again, and walked towards the elevator with a stiff back.

Watching Chu Ci's back disappear around the corner, Zhou Ran finally realized something was wrong belatedly.

Chen Xun and this overly handsome young man seem to know each other?But why is the atmosphere between the two so weird?

A thought flashed through him suddenly, this young man could not be the one Chen Xun was looking for in the taxi.

"Mr. Chen?"

Hearing Zhou Ran's address, Chen Xun clenched his fists as if waking up from a dream, and quickly chased after him.

Chu Ci was still waiting for the elevator.

Chen Xun heaved a sigh of relief without even realizing it, and slowed down his steps.

Just as Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, he caught sight of Chen Xun standing behind him out of the corner of his eye, and his heart ached again.

Subconsciously want to escape.

He tucked his head into the wide scarf, bit his lip, and looked towards the stairwell next to the elevator.

He wanted to take the stairs, but he lived on the 20th floor, and he was afraid that Chen Xun would find out that he was hiding.

Chu Ci didn't hesitate for long, because the elevator came.

The elevator is empty.The three walked in, Zhou Ran stood near the button, Chu Ci and Chen Xun stood at two corners, keeping a safe distance that only strangers would have.

Zhou Ran pressed the next floor and asked Chu Ci which floor to go to with his eyes.

"Thank you, I am also on the first floor." Chu Ci smiled, his voice was very soft and nasal.

Chen Xun frowned.

The elevator stopped again on the next floor, several people came in, and the elevator suddenly became crowded and noisy.Chu Ci was forced to back up, pressing his back against the cold car.

A brief tinnitus appeared in the left ear unexpectedly, like countless summer cicadas screaming in his ear, and then it turned into a heavy drumbeat, hitting his eardrum one after another.

Chu Ci's head was stuffy, the voices in the elevator became indistinct, he felt a little sick,

The hand in the pocket clenched tighter.

The subtle movements caught Chen Xun's attention.He calmly took half a step forward obliquely, blocking in front of Chu Ci.

This scene is very familiar.Chu Ci's heart calmed down almost immediately, and the voice in his ears gradually disappeared.

He closed his eyes, raised his hand slowly following his body's memory, and touched the hem of Chen Xun's cashmere coat.

With just a light grip, he can grab it.

The next second, with a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the first floor.

The door opened, but Chen Xun didn't stop, and strode out following the crowd.

The corner of the clothes slipped over the palm of his hand, Chu Ci stood there in a daze, and came out when the elevator door was about to close.

After walking a few steps, he was stopped by a person.

"Is it Mr. Chu?"

The man was not tall, wearing a black uniform with a work badge on his chest.

The voice sounded familiar, but Chu Ci was a little uncertain: "You are?"

"I'm Xiao Wang, an intermediary who helps you contact customers." Xiao Wang introduced himself, speaking quickly.

"How do you know I'm..."

"Didn't you send me a certificate? I recognized it from the photo of the certificate." Xiao Wang said.

Chu Ci remembered that when he signed the intermediary power of attorney, he had indeed sent a scanned copy of his ID photo to the intermediary.He asked: "Why did you come here? Is there something for me? Is there a new buyer?"

Xiao Wang was a little embarrassed: "The buyer is still looking for it. I feel sorry for causing you a waste of time. I came here to apologize in person."

Chu Ci expressed his understanding: "It's okay, this is not up to you to decide."

Xiao Wang repeatedly said sorry, and said that their store manager had already reported to the boss, and cast a net to find customers throughout the city, and he would definitely find them quickly, so he asked Chuci to give him some time.

Listening to what he said, Chu Ci's eyes drifted aside unconsciously, and happened to meet Chen Xun's.

Only then did he realize that Chen Xun hadn't left yet, but was standing a few steps away with that person just now.

Chu Ci remembered that the man was called Mr. Chen Xun.

Thinking of something, he suddenly smiled, his eyes reflecting the bright lights in the lobby.

Chen Xun's expression froze suddenly, and he quickly looked away, as if he had just glanced casually just now.

Zhou Ran didn't know what happened, and he didn't dare to speak. He only saw Chen Xun staring straight in one direction, his expression changing again and again.

No matter how dull he was, he still knew the reason for Chen Xun's abnormality.What's more, he is not stupid, and being an assistant is a basic skill.

The position they are standing now is not too close or far away, so they can just listen to the general conversation of the people next to them.

Before today, he couldn't imagine that his honest boss would engage in such small tricks as eavesdropping.

Seeing the person who claimed to be an intermediary leave, Zhou Ran met Chen Xun's gaze.This time, he didn't need to ask, he said consciously, "I'll ask."

Chen Xun hummed: "Try to ask in more detail."

Zhou Ran inexplicably felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. Are you going back to the company?"

"I won't go back yet. Mr. Liang will participate in the afternoon meeting."

Zhou Ran nodded. Seeing that the broker had almost reached the revolving door, he quickly chased after him.

Although wearing a scarf, Chu Ci was still cold, standing in the lobby for a while, his hands and feet were cold.Meeting Chen Xun by accident, he didn't feel like going out to eat, so he went back to his room to order takeaway.

Half an hour later, the front desk delivered the food.It also came with cold medicine.

Chu Ci was a little surprised: "I didn't buy any medicine."

The front desk remembered what the handsome male guest said just now, and showed a professional smile: "When you checked in, I heard that your voice was a little hoarse. The temperature has dropped recently, please keep warm and take care of your body."

"That's right." The front desk handed over a small bag of snacks, and Chu Ci saw that it contained chocolate nuts and biscuits.The front desk said: "These are a little sympathy from the hotel to the guests, please accept them."

This kind of care from a stranger warmed Chu Ci's heart.He thanked him and accepted it. After eating, he boiled water again, made two packs of cold medicine, drank it while it was hot, and put a piece of toffee in his mouth to suppress the bitter taste.

When you are full, you are warm.Chu Ci opened the box and found a medicine bottle in the side pocket.

He clenched the medicine bottle in his palm, put it back without opening it, then climbed into bed, got into the soft duvet, and unexpectedly fell asleep quickly.

After confirming that Chu Ci had taken the medicine and snacks, Chen Xun was relieved.He sat on the sofa in the lobby for a while, and Zhou Ran came back.

"The gentleman just returned home from Chicago yesterday to sell the property. However, according to the agent, the buyer broke the contract temporarily and the house was not sold."

Chen Xun pondered for a while: "Where is the house?"

"The garden house at No. 28 Jingnan Road." Zhou Ran paused, observed Chen Xun's expression, and continued after seeing nothing unusual, "The agent said that Mr. Chu was in a hurry to spend money. , has never been sold.”

Hearing this, Chen Xun, who had been expressionless all this time, felt a wave of fluctuation: "Why is he in a hurry to spend money?"

Zhou Ran stuck: "This..."

How could he know this.

Chen Xun also knew that this question was a bit embarrassing for the assistant.He already had a guess in his mind, and stood up from the sofa: "Let's go back to the company first."

At least it was confirmed that Chu Ci should not leave in the short term, and he didn't have to sit in the lobby stupidly, guarding Chu Ci for fear that someone would run away again.

-

Liang Xiangcong sat in the conference room all afternoon, listening to the reports of the heads of various departments, his mind was dazed.At the end of the meeting, he was the first to rush out, faster than a rabbit.

He went straight to Chen Xun's office.

As soon as he opened the door, he was choked by the smell of smoke.Liang Xiangcong walked in while waving his hands: "If you don't go to the meeting, you secretly hide in the office to smoke! Fine!"

Standing by the window, Chen Xun didn't turn his head when he heard the sound. With his slender fingers holding the flickering cigarette, he turned his head and took a deep breath.

Liang Xiangcong walked over and pushed the window open, stared at Chen Xun's smoking profile for a while, and suddenly clicked his tongue twice: "If the group of people outside see your melancholy death, you will definitely go crazy."

Chen Xun hooked the corner of his mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

Liang Xiangcong put away his joking attitude: "What happened? Didn't you quit smoking already, why did you start smoking again?"

Chen Xun looked at the row upon row of tall buildings outside the window, but did not answer.

Liang Xiangcong also lit a cigarette and changed the subject: "How was your talk with Shao Wenbin this afternoon?"

Chen Xun took a puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly: "They have a strong intention to cooperate."

Liang Xiangcong snorted through his nose: "I used to ignore us, but now I'm rushing. If you want me to say that you shouldn't see him, just let him go."

Chen Xun paused with his fingers holding the cigarette, and suddenly said, "Do me a favor."

Liang Xiangcong was stunned for a while. Chen Xun had never asked him to help in such a solemn tone.

"You said."

Chen Xun stubbed out the cigarette: "Do you know anyone in Chicago?"

"It must be there." Liang Xiangcong said, "I grew up in Chicago, and I just immigrated there with my wife and children a few years ago."

"Then check two people for me."

"Who?" Liang Xiangcong was curious.

Chen Xun slowly spit out the two names, although he was very reluctant to link these two people together.

"Chu Ci, Gu Qi'an."

The author says:

Chen Xun: Baby, it's your husband and I who care about you.
