Wen Qiao didn't have much memory of the second half of the party.
When she opened her eyes and woke up, she found herself half-lying in the back seat of a spacious, clean and warm car.
Soon, she caught a glimpse of the man next to her.
Wen Qiao stared at his face and took a deep breath.
He was only wearing a black shirt, the cuffs of the shirt were slightly rolled up, and the tie was pulled off.
He smelled faintly of tobacco and alcohol, probably from the dinner party.
"Are you awake?" The man's low and hoarse voice was filled with a rare sense of laziness, as if he was asking casually: "Do you need an explanation?"
Wen Qiao couldn't attribute all this to coincidence.
She gritted her teeth and was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a tight voice: "Of course..."
With his status, how could he casually 'pick' a woman to marry?
"What happened to those blind date information?"
He didn't take it seriously and said: "Is there any problem with the blind date information? He is twenty-nine years old, his parents are still alive, a native of Haishi, and a manager of a private enterprise, huh?"
Private sector managers…
That's right.
Zhonghui Group is indeed an industry owned by the Shen family.
"The reason why I went out on a blind date was indeed because my family was very demanding."
"So you just randomly submitted your information to a dating agency?"
"Just any dating agency? Isn't that the largest dating agency in Hai City?"
"..."
Wen Qiao still couldn't understand, "But you are different."
How could a man who was born to be at the top of the world of fame and fortune, with a high position of authority, make marriage so casual and like a child's play?
Jin Pingzhou's words that day were without warning, and they were like a thorn inserted into her heart.
'I want to get married, but Mrs. Jin can't be her. '
The reality is that in their circle, marriage is a profitable method.
They need people with matching family backgrounds.
That was a circle that she couldn't cross, a class that she couldn't cross.
After spending so many years with Jin Pingzhou, it wasn't that she didn't understand him at all, but...she didn't know what she was expecting.
That's why when Jin Pingzhou said those words that overturned the original calm, the moment she turned around, she was so determined and decisive.
"You don't need a marriage?"
"unnecessary."
"But they..."
"I am different, at least...different from him."
It took Wen Qiao a long time to react before he knew what the 'he' in his mouth meant.
"I don't need a woman to complete the 'great cause' of making a fortune, nor do I need a marriage to stabilize my position of wealth and glory. Everything will proceed as we agreed. You don't have to worry about the rest, I will take care of it."
His voice is so beautiful, it sounds like a kind of temptation that can make people lose all principles.
Wen Qiao recalled the agreement negotiated with him on the blind date in his mind.
He cooperated with her in 'acting' in front of her grandma.
She also tried her best to play the role of a good wife.
They will have a trial marriage for half a year, and the marriage news will not be disclosed to the public for the time being. If it is not suitable, they can divorce at any time.
This is the end of the matter, that's all it can do.
Wen Qiao compromised in his heart.
After a while, Shen Du ordered the driver to start the car.
Wen Qiao sat there in silence, tilting his head to look out the window, and began to recall the 'marriage' with Shen Du in his mind.
Although this matter seemed to have turned around because of her compromise, Wen Qiao was still racking his brains to think about the reasons why Shen Du wanted to marry her quickly and casually.
It's just because the family is busy, so it's not like this, right?
What kind of woman does he want? Why is it her?
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the gossip she had heard in the office before. Wen Qiao's face fell in an instant, and an uncontrollable thought grew like a vine in her mind.
She looked at Shen Du speechlessly.
Shen Du was such a keen person, so he naturally noticed something was wrong in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"No...nothing."
Although he said this, Wen Qiao was actually thinking about it in his heart.
She thought, maybe, really, very likely, this marriage certificate was a cover for him to hide his true sexual orientation!
*
The car drove forward, and about half an hour later, it arrived at Shen Du's residence.
The 800-square-meter flat floor has a river view and a wide view. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire wall of the living room, you can see the most beautiful and prosperous scenery of the sea city.
Wen Qiao stood at the door uncomfortably.
Shen Du took out a pair of white women's plush slippers, bent down and placed them in front of her feet.
Wen Qiao took off her high heels. When she walked to the living room, he walked towards the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a cup of soaked honey water and handed it to her.
From beginning to end, Shen Du's performance was very gentlemanly.
Wen Qiao had been tensed up all night, and finally relaxed a little. She thanked him, took the honey water in his hand, and sat on the sofa to drink. Her throat, which had been burned by the strong alcohol, gradually recovered. Moisturize.
"You don't drink well." He looked as usual, but those hot and scalding scenes came to mind in his mind, "Don't drink so much in the future, it's very dangerous."
"oh……"
Wen Qiao felt that this was just pure concern, so he nodded in agreement.
Shen Du looked at the time and saw that it was already very late. He arranged a bedroom for Wen Qiao, "The clothes in the cloakroom are all new and have been cleaned. After taking a shower, go and rest."
Wen Qiao's thoughts suddenly dawned.
"What are you still thinking about?"
"Where do you usually sleep?"
He immediately understood the implication of her words, and bluntly revealed her thoughts, "It's not the room you slept in."
Wen Qiao said no more, quickly chose a pair of pajamas in the cloakroom and walked into the bathroom.
The bathroom quickly filled with mist.
The sound of rushing water faintly fell into Shen Du's ears.
Wen Qiao came out of the shower and was about to go to bed, but she found that she had left her mobile phone in the living room. She went to the living room to look for it. When she arrived in the living room, she found that Shen Du was not asleep either.
He should have just come out of the shower and was sitting on the sofa wearing black pajamas.
The phone fell on the coffee table in front of him.
Wen Qiao said, "I forgot to take my phone," and walked over. The moment she bent over, the collar of her pajamas opened a little. Shen Du glanced at it accidentally and averted his eyes.
He didn't expect that she chose the most conservative pajamas, but she still wore them so...dangerously.
"The phone rang just now." He said, "It was a number that was not stored."
Wen Qiao opened his phone in confusion, clicked in and took a look.
I found out it was an unfamiliar number.
"may be……"
Wen Qiao was about to say that she might have dialed the wrong number, but unexpectedly, the moment she spoke, her cell phone rang.
She casually connected the call, and before she could make a sound, she heard that familiar voice ahead of her.
Cold and impatient.
"Where have you been?"
It's Jin Pingzhou.
It had been a month since she disappeared from his world, and he thought of her again on a whim.
