Secretly together

  When two powerful forces collide secretly, those who are affected by their collision on the surface can only cry out in distress.

  As a result of this contest between intimidation and threat, the newspaper's top executive finally made preparations to apologize and then abruptly resigned.

  The apology came on the second day.

  Xun did not read the newspaper, but someone gave the newspaper to other members of the Pei family to read. Ji Rong asked the driver to drive and arrived at Pei Xianwen's company.

  Standing in front of her husband's desk, she slapped the table violently, "Xianwen! Look at this, look at this, she wants to ruin the Pei family business! With someone like her, Father still treats her like a precious gem!"

  Ji Rong has ten thousand dissatisfactions with Shen Xuan, and as soon as she finds something not quite right, she wants to make a big deal out of it. But after what happened yesterday, she doesn't dare to go looking for trouble with Shen Xuan again.

  Bae Sun-woo had also seen the newspaper, his head was bursting with pain. The Bae family's main house couldn't afford to be involved in any more scandals. "Stop it, or else Father will take out his anger on the main house again!"

  Pei Xianwen said, sitting down and rubbing his sore right shoulder with his left hand, "Dad has always spoiled Jin Cheng, let's ask him first."

  Ji Yong listened and had some hope in his heart, but after making a phone call, he got the reply: "Such a small matter, what's there to talk about? So many celebrities are having extra births, openly violating the country's basic national policy. I think it's much more serious than taking drugs. Is the earth not turning? Nothing to do, go learn some cross-stitch embroidery, that can pass the time."

  After hanging up the phone, Ji Rong almost jumped with joy.

  Bai Xianwen looked at Ji Rong stomping his feet in front of his desk and couldn't help but roar, "Stop yelling! How did you become like this now? Bring back that elegant demeanor of yours, the more I look at you now, the more you look like a shrew."

  Ji Rong was immediately stunned.

  Bae's house didn't mention in advance that they wouldn't be eating together tonight, so Bae Jin-cheng won't go home for dinner and never calls to say hello.

  Anyway, the servants at home will make a phone call to ask.

  Date with Bai Shan at "Rouge" themed restaurant tonight. 19:00.

  Bai Shan always likes to go to some very interesting places, with a bit of artistic and melancholic flavor.

  She used to like gentle and bright things.

  Now she always carries gentle sorrow.

  Artificial beach and wave scenery, in the summer, eating at such a place that is not expensive but has a sense of atmosphere, does not seem luxurious, but very sentimental.

  Baishan Neili has always had some little girls who like those comfortable and stress-free things.

  So "Flo Light" kind of cafe that young white-collar workers like, rich girls like Bai Shan really enjoy going there.

  Perhaps it's because of Bai Shan's personality that he has always liked him so much.

  Bai Shan wore comfortable casual clothes as usual.

  The suspenders and mid-pants made her look like a 26-year-old girl, like a high school student.

  Pei Jin Cheng pulled out a chair for Bai Xue and sat down across from her. The two of them together like this would make people think that some rich young master was abducting an underage girl.

  The seafood is very fresh, sashimi, salmon on ice looks very appetizing.

  Bai Shan didn't dare eat raw things, her stomach wasn't good, so she sat opposite quietly helping Pei Jin Cheng adjust the ratio of soy sauce and wasabi.

  Pei Jin Cheng let out a slight sigh. Before, Bai Xue was like this too. When they ate together, she often took care of him more.

  He knows her preferences better than she knows them herself.

  "Jin Cheng, I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to trouble you." Bai Shan squeezed lemon juice onto the freshly shucked oysters and gently placed the lemon on a small white plate beside them, her movements soft and gentle, without looking at Pei Jin Cheng, filled with remorse.

  "It's already passed, actually, you're the one who shouldn't be saying sorry."

  Bai Shan was frightened, stroking her chest, with a worried expression on her face. When she looked at Pei Jin Cheng, there were not only tears in her eyes but also a lingering fear and horror. "But I never thought the rules of the Pei family would be like that. Now that I think about it, I'm really scared. How is Ah Xuan?"

  Pei Jin Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiao Shan, don't think about these things anymore. Shen Xuan is fine now, she's taken the medicine."

  "But, Jin Cheng, the murderer..." Bai Shan's head hung low, somewhat unable to speak. "I don't know if I'll always be that lucky next time."

  Pei Jin Cheng was shocked, but he couldn't say a word. Looking at the table of his favorite seafood, he lost his appetite. He leaned forward, stretched out his hand and stroked Bai Shan's head, softly comforting her, "Little Shan, when you go out usually, be careful about safety. Since things haven't been investigated clearly, you should be more careful."

  "Didn't you check clearly?" Bai Xue raised her head, actually she didn't want to raise her head, because of the temperature on top of her head, she was too indulged, but he actually said it wasn't clear?

  Originally thought he just wanted to protect Shen Xuan, but unexpectedly used such an excuse to deceive her.

  Pei Jin Cheng looked into Bai Xue's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and his hand remained frozen on her head, for a moment he didn't know how to respond to her words.

  A man's teasing voice came, swaying gently, "Wow, Lord Pei is so elegant and refined, with a beautiful wife at home and a red beauty outside, it really makes Qiu certain envy."

  Qiu Mingjun happened to see Pei Jin Cheng and Bai Shan entering the store as his car passed by.

  That figure was not Shen Xuan at a glance, he was a bit curious about Pei Jin Cheng and what woman were together, eating in this white-collar petty bourgeoisie place, the reason for curiosity was still because Pei Jin Cheng was Shen Xuan's legal husband.

  He found a seat and randomly ordered some dishes, and the two of them exchanged glances, which he clearly saw.

  Curiosity killed the cat. He not only saw the affectionate glances exchanged between the two, but also lazily snapped a photo of their intimate actions with his phone.

  Pei Jin Cheng poured a cup of warm water for Bai Shan, stood up, stretched out his hand to Qiu Ming Jun and smiled elegantly, "Is Director Qiu also having dinner here? Not entertaining clients?"

  Qiu Mingjun grasped Pei Jin Cheng's hand, and as their two large palms clasped together, they both exerted a slight force before releasing it. "Alone."

  "Why don't we eat together?"

  "Alright." Qiu Mingjun raised his hand and called out to the waiter, "Bring my dishes over to this table."

  Bai Shan felt somewhat disappointed.

  Qiu Mingjun caught sight of Bai Xue's expression at a glance, turned his head and smiled awkwardly at Pei Jin Cheng, "Young Master, didn't I ruin your good deed? If little sister only wants to have dinner with you, I should be the one to graciously yield."

  "It's okay, let's eat together."

  Qiu Mingjun didn't show any politeness, nor did he mention work. He just chatted about nothing in particular. Taking advantage of Bai Xue's conversation with Pei Jin Cheng, he made a phone call and then continued to speak with an insincere smile.

  "Oh my, beautiful girl, guess where I am now? Ah? I'm at a restaurant called '浪花', ah...... of course, having dinner with a handsome guy and a beautiful girl...... yeah, yeah, yeah. This beauty is much better than you, probably 17 or 18 years old, high school student, to describe her in a literary way, she's like a small jasmine floating on the clear river water, refreshing and pleasant to look at, hmm, delicious... heh heh, don't say anything, that beautiful girl belongs to that handsome guy, I think it's just wishful thinking...... I'm indeed a light bulb ahahaha."

  Qiu Mingjun glanced at Bae Jin-cheng, and indeed his eyes had a hint of displeasure. He seemed to be very embarrassed, and immediately shut up. "Alright, alright, I won't chat with you anymore. I'll have dinner with your husband instead. Ah, President Shen, how dare I deceive you? Don't believe me? Huh, isn't the shirt your husband is wearing today a white dress shirt with subtle stripes and diamond-encrusted cufflinks?"

  Seeing Pei Jin Cheng's eyes slightly narrowed, Qiu Ming Jun casually said, "Forget it."

  Bai Shan kept an eye on Pei Jin Cheng's expression after Qiu Ming Jun hung up the phone. She really didn't have that kind of demeanor, and the man remained calm all the time, sometimes even serving her dishes, chatting and laughing with this "General Manager Qiu" just like before.

  When this meal ended, two men still shook hands with a smile and said goodbye.

  Bai Shan said she didn't drive, so Pei Jin Cheng sent Bai Shan home.

  Qiu Mingjun deliberately said, "You guys have fun, I'll drive myself."

  In Pei Jin Cheng's car, Bai Shan thought for a while before tightly grasping the safety belt on her chest and saying some things she hadn't said earlier in the restaurant but couldn't say at that time, "Jin Cheng, do you think Ah Xuan is innocent, and I'm the one who..."

  "What's on your mind, Xiaoshan?"

  "Jin Cheng, I still like you in my heart, I still love you, don't you know?"

  The man's fingers were very long and wrapped around the steering wheel, his knuckles distinct as he exhaled a slightly annoyed breath, "..."

  Bai Shan's eyes welled up with tears, "I like you and still love you, so you want to protect her and cover for her, I can accept that. But why did you say you didn't investigate clearly? Does this mean you suspect me?"

  "Xiao Shan, I don't suspect you!"

  "Why say it's still unclear if it wasn't her, then who was it?"

  "Let's just drop it, shall we? Even if it was her, wasn't she punished yesterday already?"

  "Jin Cheng, you're biased towards her, what's the meaning of that!" Bai Shan cried even more sorrowfully, covering her mouth, "You protected her in front of so many people, but now it's just us two, just us! Jin Cheng, from when I was 10 and met you, to when we started dating at 16, we've been together for so many years, don't you understand me? I can endure, I can also compromise, but now that it's just us two, can't you say something to make me feel better? She got beaten up yesterday, but I was also hurt, and almost had my face ruined!"

  He turned the steering wheel to the right and stopped the car by the side of the road, rubbing his forehead. "Xiao Shan, this is all my fault."

  His neck was suddenly wrapped in a slender arm, the woman's face was full of tears, rubbing against his neck, her hands touching his face, pleading and saying, "Jin Cheng, let's be together, secretly, don't tell her, quietly, we won't let anyone know, Jin Cheng, together, okay?"

  Sorry, 99's estimated time is always wrong. Ah Xun's plank, 99 took it for her. Oh well. Not reaching 1200 votes, no more updates today, see you tomorrow, muah muah, love you guys.
