Chapter 17 You Drank
After Li Qianluo and Yu Wanwan went to the warehouse, Yu Wanwan dragged several bags of down jackets out.
The dust in the air made Li Qianluo hold her breath. She opened the black bags, and took out the down jackets one after another to hang them up. Several hours pa.s.sed without being noticed. Three o"clock in the afternoon is normally the end of morning shift.
They had worked overtime for half an hour and n.o.body came to change shifts with them.
"How could you put up with Lan Ying before!" Li Qianluo pulled a large bag of down jackets with all her strength to an open s.p.a.ce. As the warehouse has no air conditioner, their faces were covered with sweat.
"To tell you the truth, she was bad, but not as disgusting as now, before you came here. Does she harbor grudge against you?" This is the question Yu Wanwan has been wondering about.
"She is the cousin of Fu Xinru." Whenever they met before, she never treated her friendly, let alone she is under her control now.
Yu Wanwan nodded her head and took out a piece of tissue from her pocket to wipe the sweat tenderly from Li Qianluo"s face.
Seeing what Yu Wanwan was doing, Li Qianluo gave her a big kiss. Yu Wanwan was startled as she was not ready for this.
"Qianluo, you scared me." Patting her faster-beating heart exaggeratively, Yu Wanwan rolled her eyes at naughty Li Qianluo and shook her head to show her pretended reluctance.
"Ha-ha, you are so timid!" Li Qianluo was still happy. Though she has never done such a heavy labor before, at least she has her best friend accompanying her.
"By the way, isn"t your husband very rich? How could he allow you to work?"
"He? He has been busy with his work and not available to care about my business. Besides, this is not what he can control. I don"t want to be always kept by him. After all, I am not the rich lady as before." She reminds herself of her misfortune and status constantly so as not to impose herself as the carefree girl before unconsciously. She has to face the reality that she is not. If she lives her life again like before, it will be meaningless.
Yu Wanwan understood, nodding her head.
They chatted and worked. Time flies and when they worked for extra two hours, the store supervisor came in, "You can go off work now. The manager has left." Holy s.h.i.t, so Lan Ying had not let them go even when she was off work!
They changed their clothes and went off work after a simple cleaning.
Li Qianluo and Yu Wanwan separated at the mall gate, for they headed for different directions when going home.
As soon as she arrived at the villa, she took off her clothes and went for a bath. Lying in the bathtub tiredly, she finally found a moment to completely relax herself.
When she was taking care of her hair, Mrs. Du came to knock at the door and told her to have dinner downstaris.
A whole day"s work and the hot pot at the noon without staple food made her very starving. After going downstairs, she started to gobble the food, by a half more than her normal appet.i.te.
"Qianluo, how about your work today?" Seeing how Li Qianluo had dinner, Mrs. Du knew that she was quite hungry.
"Not so bad!" But someone was just too disgusting.
"That"s good. Master called me in the daytime and said he would come home tonight. "
Hearing this, Li Qianluo choked on the soup.
"Isn"t he not coming back these days?"
"I don"t know the details." Mrs. Du patted on the back of Li Qianluo and filled another bowl of soup for her.
She thought about it and accepted it. This is his home. "OK! I see!"
At night, Li Qianluo checked Weibo news in her mobile phone, reclining on the sofa with one of her slender legs resting on a chair.
The Weibo headline for the day was about new CEO of SL Group taking over the company. Si Jinheng, formerly the CEO of SL headquarters, officially took over the company yesterday. The media all held optimistic opinions about him.
SL Group... Si Jinheng... Li Qianluo felt astounded, for SL International Group is the true controller of the business world in D city, which is engaged in real estate, petroleum, high-end digital technology, entertainment companies, night clubs, pubs, etc.
It turns out that her husband is such a powerful man. No wonder he was so calm when saying he would help her crush Qi Yunzhong and his son.
It is really amazing that she has married with such a mighty man.
... Biting the 【lip】, Li Qianluo opened the website of Baidu and entered the name Si Jinheng. It"s a pity that no information could be found.
How mysterious and omnipotent is he to manipulate even the internet intangibly?
She had never known about him until he suddenly appeared in her life.
At 9:30 p.m., Li Qianluo started to yawn and prepared to go sleep after turning off the mobile phone. At that moment, the bedroom door was opened from outside.
The tall figure was rightly the man of the Weibo headline...
Throwing his briefcase onto the sofa, Si Jinheng loosened his tie and walked towards Li Qianluo.
Standing up from the sofa, the woman pulled her nightdress and got close to the man slowly, who gave off a subtle liquor aroma.
She frowned and asked him: "You drank?"
"Yes, I drank a few gla.s.ses of wine in the celebration party, " he replied faintly.
However, "You"re also loved by some woman, tsk tsk..." A big scarlet lipstick mark on Si Jinheng"s white shirt collar made people smell jealousy in the air.
Si Jinheng threw a quick glance at the mark and a touch of coldness swept across his eyes.
The supervisor would be dead tomorrow!
"You went to work?" The topic was ignored.
"You really have a lot of good fortune in love affairs, tsk tsk..." The topic of the man was ignored, too.
"Do you feel tired?"
"There must be many beauties in your company. Right?"
"Go to pour water in the bathtub. I am going to bathe."
"Well? Are you willing to clean off the aroma of beauties?"
Si Jinheng reached out his big palms to cuddle her in his arms and kissed her on the lips to stop her from talking obstinately.
When he let go of her, she responded: "Si Jinheng, can"t you change your same old trick?" She raised her head and obstinately looked at the man on top of her with a pout.
He smiled slightly. "This same old trick will be fairly enough for you, " he announced superciliously. At the moment, Li Qianluo suddenly felt that something was wrong.
After counting the days, she became nervous!
"Wait a minute, Si Jinheng. I am having a period, " said Li Qianluo in embarra.s.sment, after holding his big palm promptly.
Surely he knows what it means. Si Jinheng really felt a homicidal impulse at the moment!
"But I have no..." In order to prevent staining the bed, she jumped down from it in a hurry.
He knew what she referred to, "Li Qianluo, do not count on me to buy it for you." Si Jinheng wore a frown, but still went outside after putting on his shirt and stroking his hair.
Grinning sheepishly, Li Qianluo saw him going out of the bedroom and also expressed her thanks obsequiously, "Darling, thanks!"
"Did I say I would go?" said the man in a cold voice. But he still went downstairs without looking back.
... Won"t he really go? Waiting on the toilet, Li Qianluo suddenly became unsure.
