"O sea, you are all water."
She was the only one on the quiet and deserted beach. Ye Mingqian stretched out her arms and shouted unscrupulously. She stood on the beach and let the waves hit her feet. She stared at the place where the sun rose with a smile on her face, where the clouds were already red in the sky. , blending into the horizon.
As the world gradually brightens, the sun reveals half of its face and illuminates another figure.
Chi Yanchen stared quietly at Ye Mingqian on the beach. His body was exposed to the sun, but his face was hidden in the darkness, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He stood motionless like a bottle sculpture.
As if sensing something, Ye Mingqian suddenly turned around.
Eyes facing each other.
Under the silent scene, the sun finally slowly revealed its entire face and hung in the sky. The golden light penetrated through the clouds and reflected on the two people on the ground.
Chi Yanchen's body was slightly tinged with golden light, his face was calm, and his eyes looking at her were as gentle as a pool of spring water. Deep in Ye Mingqian's heart, a place that could not be illuminated seemed to be slowly opening.
"Ah."
She chuckled, breaking the silence.
"Is it an honor to invite this beautiful lady to have breakfast with you?"
Chi Yanchen's smile was brighter than ever.
"OK."
Ye Mingqian agreed generously.
"Please." Chi Yanchen bent down and stood there with his arms bent like a gentleman waiting.
"Thank you." Ye Mingqian jumped in front of him lightly and put his wrist into the man's arm.
"You'll catch a cold if you don't wear shoes."
Chi Yanchen stretched out his bent arm on Ye Mingqian's back, put his other hand under her knees, and hugged her up with a slight force, "My beautiful princess, your knight will always be loyal to you. "
"Give you great glory."
The two people, immersed in another world, were like the princess and the knight in a drama, talking in words that others could not understand.
"What do you want to eat? Your Highness Princess." Chi Yanchen gently put Ye Mingqian on the chair.
"I won't play anymore. If I play again, I'll vomit out the overnight meal." Ye Mingqian put her hands on the chair and swayed her feet.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Chi Yanchen took the shoes brought by the waiter and knelt down to put them on for Ye Mingqian.
At this time, people were already coming to the hotel to have breakfast one after another, and they all looked at him curiously when they saw his behavior.
"Look at this person."
A young mother was pushing a baby stroller and pinched her husband hard at the same time with envy.
"Don't pity him!" The man responded quickly and coaxed his wife, "He will love the wife he found himself, and I will love my wife, right, baby."
The conversation between the couple reached their ears word for word.
"I'll do it myself." Ye Mingqian blushed and retracted her feet.
"do not move."
Chi Yanchen grabbed her retreating feet and placed them on his knees, then put on her shoes gently.
As soon as her heels closed, Ye Mingqian ran away like a flying bird. She picked up the dinner plate and lowered her head to pretend to pick up the food. The man saw her panicked steps.
After choosing what he wanted to eat and sitting back at the dining table, he found that Chi Yanchen was sitting there without moving. His usually upright body was now leaning casually on the back of the chair with a relaxed expression.
"Don't you want to eat?" Ye Mingqian asked.
"I'll watch you eat."
"You look at me and I can't eat it."
"All right."
Chi Yanchen stood up helplessly, picked at the dinner plate, and finally came back with a glass of iced Americano. The rest of the plate was empty.
"I'm used to fasting in the morning," he explained, "to keep fit."
When Ye Mingqian heard this, his eyes looked at the man's abdomen uncontrollably. No wonder he had such a good figure, so he secretly practiced more.
Because of the sunrise, the relationship between the two changed subtly, so subtle that neither of them noticed it.
Ye Mingqian spent the whole morning playing at the beach and returned home in the afternoon.
The first thing she did when she got home was to take out a basin from the kitchen and pour half of the basin into it. These were picked up by Chi Yanchen on the beach with her. This one was picked up by him, and this one was also...
While cleaning it, she recalled the man's smile when he gave it to her, and the corners of her mouth slowly widened involuntarily.
Chi Yanchen, who returned to the headquarters of Huo Group, was sitting behind his desk with a lit cigarette between his fingers, not taking a sip to his mouth for a long time.
I don’t know how many cigarettes this is. The ashtray on the desk is full of cigarette butts.
The huge office was filled with smoke, and his face was vaguely visible behind the smoke, his expression blurred.
She felt a heat on her fingers. It turned out that the cigarette was almost burnt to the end. Ye Mingqian came to her senses, took a puff and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. Then she put out the finished cigarette butt in the ashtray again and touched the cigarette. The box was already empty, so he threw it into the trash can.
"call."
After letting out a long breath, Chi Yanchen fell down on the boss's chair, his body turning the seat unconsciously.
"Ye Mingqian."
As he recited the name, the woman's face appeared in front of his eyes, with every frown and smile, bright eyes and white teeth, just like the one in the painting.
"It's not yet time."
Chi Yanchen covered his heart and said, "It's not yet time for you to be tempted."
That look in the morning seemed to have a magic spell. Whenever I thought of these three words Ye Mingqian, my heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. It was clear that nothing happened today.
He stopped the swivel chair in annoyance, walked to the side and opened the curtains. The dazzling sunlight shone into the room. He looked down at the scenery downstairs, but he only saw the endless flow of people and cars.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Chi Yanchen sat back down.
"Mr. Chi."
The person who came was wearing work clothes, a fisherman's hat, and a SLR around his neck.
"What did you find? Zhang Wu." Chi Yanchen put away all his affection for his children and returned to his previous indifference.
"Ai Shang transferred five million to a bank account abroad. After changing hands several times, the whereabouts can no longer be traced." Zhang Wu rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"continue."
"The factory that shipped the goods was a shell company, and the batch of goods sent to Aishang was defective. The market value was not worth 100,000, but it was sold to Aishang for 3 million, and it was transferred immediately after the payment was received. Come on, what we can find so far is that the account goes through a shipping company in Hong Kong."
really.
Chi Yanchen expressed his understanding and asked Zhang Wu to continue reporting.
"And this company was jointly invested and registered by the Huo family and the Shu family."
"I know." Chi Yanchen clasped his fingers on the table in deep thought. After a long time, he told Zhang Wu: "Sneak into this company in Hong Kong and get their account books and company statements and give them to me."
"Going to Hong Kong City?" Zhang Wu was embarrassed, "It's a mixed bag of fish and dragons there, it's not easy to mix."
Chi Yanchen stretched out a hand and said, "five hundred thousand."
"make a deal."
Zhang Wu readily agreed, "Mr. Chi is waiting for my good news."
"Go ahead."
The Hong Kong city is complicated. Even if Zhang Wu goes smoothly, he won't be able to find any clues for a while, so he still has to attack the Shu family.
"Shu Qiaoqiao."
Chi Yanchen thought about how to attack her to get evidence against Huo Jili.
