Second marriage itch

Chapter 199 The Feast of Masks

The sky in Nancheng is still different from that in Qinggang.

It's snowing in Nancheng, but not in Qinggang.

As soon as I got off the plane, I was shivering with cold, so I couldn't help but lifted up the scarf, covering most of my face.

I wanted to surprise Xue Duyun, so I didn't call to tell him I was coming.

After leaving the airport, I took a taxi and went straight to the villa.

But his car was not there, and no one came to drive when he rang the doorbell.

he is not at home?

It stands to reason that the company should have been on vacation long ago. If he is not at home on New Year's Eve, where will he be?

Could it be at Xue Borong's place?

After all, it's Chinese New Year, even if the two father and son are not in harmony, they still have to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

I checked that it was still early, so I went back to Kuanzhai Alley.

After leaving for nearly a year, this place seems to be even more deserted.A family that used to live here also seems to have moved away.

Because I left in a hurry, I didn't bring the key to the old house, so I just took a look downstairs and left.

After finding a place to have a simple lunch, I suddenly thought that Xue Duyun had always been unwilling to stay with his father for a long time. If he was going to have a New Year's Eve dinner, he would definitely not go so early.

Will he still be in the company?
Take a taxi to Yuntian International, and look up at the tall buildings in front of you.

I wanted to go in directly, but I stopped after taking two steps, turned around and walked into a tea restaurant opposite.

I ordered a cup of milk tea, and I sat by the window.

If he is really still in the company, I can see it as soon as he goes out.

No one will still sit in the tea restaurant on New Year's Eve, so it's very deserted here.

Besides me, there was only one male guest.

He sat with his back to me at a table opposite, not too far apart.

There was a cup of black coffee in front of him, and he drank half of it.

He looked out the window from time to time, as if waiting for something.

After a while, another man came in, walked up to him, took out a stack of photos from his clothes and threw them on the table.

"have a look."

The man with his back to me picked up a photo.

My eyes swept casually, but I was surprised.

The person in the photo is Xue Duyun.

"Brother Dong, is that him?" the man asked.

"It's him! I know him even in ashes."

The man called Dong Ge had a hint of gnashing of teeth when he spoke.

The man who brought the photo dragged away the chair, sat down opposite him, first glanced around vigilantly, and finally his eyes fell on me.

I picked up the milk tea and took a sip, only to find that my hands were shaking.

I took out the earphones from my bag, plugged them into my ears, and looked out the window, pretending to be listening to a song.

Then the man withdrew his gaze and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Dry!"

Brother Dong only said one word, but I was secretly shocked when I heard it.

"Tonight is a good opportunity. Did you get the ticket I asked you to get?"

Brother Dong asked again.

The man on the opposite side patted his chest, "Are you still worried about my work, Kui Si?"

As he spoke, he took out a few tickets from his clothes and unfolded them at his fingertips.

Brother Dong nodded, "Tell my brothers, cheer me up tonight, whoever fucking missed my business, I will hack him to death."

"Don't worry!" Kui Si said.

Dong Ge turned his head to look at Sky International, and said coldly, "I will let his surname Xue not pass this year."

I bit the straw, keeping my expression on the ground, but my heart was in a mess.

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

That Kui Si looked at me, and even Brother Dong turned his head to look at me.

The call was from Xue Duyun.

I answered the call calmly and lowered the volume of the receiver.

"Honey, I miss you!"

Xue Duyun's mellow and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

I squeezed my phone tightly, looking at the Sky International building, my palms were already sweating.

"I miss you too, come back and spend the New Year with me, okay?"

Xue Duyun was silent for a few seconds and said, "My wife, I'm sorry, I have something very important tonight, so I can't accompany you for the New Year's Eve."

The two men didn't talk anymore. In the quiet tea restaurant, there was only the sound of soft music and the sound of me talking on the phone.

I said with resentment, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the company should have been on holiday long ago. Are you that busy?"

Xue Duyun comforted me with a smile.

"Hey, when I finish the matter at hand, I will definitely come to Qinggang to accompany you and the child. Now turn on the video, I want to see the child."

I glanced at the two men across from me out of the corner of my eye and said, "They're asleep."

"Oh, next time, I have something to do right now, so hang up first."

I hurriedly said, "Be careful."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a beeping sound of hanging up from the phone.

About 5 minutes later, Xue Duyun came out from the gate of Sky International, and the person following him was Lao Yang.

"Out."

The one named Kui Si reminded Dong Ge in a low voice.

Xue Duyun and Lao Yang walked straight towards the garage.

Brother Dong also got up to leave, and Kui Si hurriedly put away the photos and the tickets on the table.

As I walked past me, a few tickets happened to land at my feet.

Kui Si lowered his head to pick it up, his eyes slid past my legs in flesh-colored pantyhose, and he immediately showed a wretched smile.

"Beauty, with a good figure."

"Let's go." Brother Dong urged him without looking back.

Kui Si hurriedly picked up a few tickets on the ground and followed.

After they left the tea restaurant, I bent down and picked up the ticket that was under my waist.

Dream Cruise New Year's Eve Carnival, a feast of masks, is hosted by Ogilvy Department Store.

As I know about this company, it was quite famous a few years ago, but it has always maintained the old-fashioned business philosophy, which led to a large market being snatched away by newly emerging department stores.

It stands to reason that Ogilvy & Mather should be in a difficult period now, but it unexpectedly held such a big party on New Year's Eve.

When I didn't start a business, I didn't understand a lot of things, but now I understand a little bit.

He did this mostly to win over human relationships and attract sponsorship and investment.

I immediately called Xue Duyun, but his phone was still unavailable.

Looking at the ticket in my hand again, I made a decision immediately.

After collecting the tickets, I went to a department store and bought a slim black knee-length dress, a white fur shawl, and a pair of crystal shoes.

Then I went to the top stylist in Nancheng to have my hair done, and put on a rich makeup.

Putting myself together, I stood in front of the mirror, and at this moment I really couldn't even recognize myself in the mirror.

Seeing that it was getting dark, I took a taxi to the beach.

The taxi stopped, and I watched the brightly lit cruise ship through the window, and there was music coming from the cruise ship.

"Miss, where do you want to go?" The driver asked me when he saw that I was not getting out of the car.

I took out 300 yuan from my bag and handed it to him, saying, "I'll get out of the car later."

The driver got the money and said "OK".

On the coast, many famous cars came one after another, and more and more people boarded the cruise ship.

After a while, the familiar Maybach appeared in my sight.

After stopping the car, Xue Duyun and Lao Yang got out of the car.

Xue Duyun was wearing a mid-length gray coat that was unbuttoned. After getting out of the car, he lit a cigarette and exuded a unique masculine charm in every gesture.

Then he and Lao Yang walked quickly onto the cruise ship.

After a while, I saw the two men Dong Ge and Kui Si I saw in the tea restaurant today, and there were several people around them.

They boarded the cruise ship one step behind Xue Duyun.

On the cruise ship with gorgeous lights, it seems to be peaceful.

However, I feel that the atmosphere shrouded in the dark night is inexplicably strange, and it seems that there is a faint smell of conspiracy and blood.

I got out of the taxi and walked towards the cruise ship.

Passing the ticket to the person at the entrance, the man said "Welcome" respectfully and pointed to a box of masks.

"Miss, choose a mask you like."

I glanced at it and picked up a purple mask.

This mask seems to be inlaid with a lot of purple crushed stones, shining golden, with a few purple feathers inserted on it, which looks very dreamy.

Putting on a mask, I took my bag and walked into the cabin hall with my head held high.

At this moment, the dance has already started, the stereo is playing dance music, and couples are dancing.

The lights are dim, and only the colorful lights are flickering with the rhythm of the music.Many people around chatted in twos and threes with wine glasses.

Probably because I am a person, many men are aiming at me intentionally or unintentionally.

I looked around and quickly caught Xue Duyun's figure.

He didn't wear a mask, and sat quietly on the sofa in the left corner of the hall, holding a wine glass and staring at the dance floor, as if he had something on his mind.

In the blink of an eye, Brother Dong and Kui Si also came into my sight.

They sat on the right side of the hall, far away from Xue Duyun's position, which made me temporarily relieved.

When I was about to walk towards Xue Duyun, a man suddenly walked towards me.

"Miss, can I ask you to dance?"

I turned my head and saw a white ghost mask.

I was afraid of causing any trouble, so I forced a smile.

"Of course I can, but I don't dance very well."

"Miss, you are humble." The man smiled.

I joined him on the dance floor and danced absently.

Xue Duyun taught me to dance, and I haven't danced with other men except him.

I deliberately kept a polite distance from this man, but this man deliberately leaned on me.

"Miss, you smell really good," he said.

I kept paying attention to Xue Duyun and those two men while dancing, so I treated the man in front of me very perfunctorily, and I only answered briefly when he talked to me.

Suddenly, I saw a masked woman walking in front of Xue Duyun.

Then Xue Duyun put down his wine glass, took the woman's hand and entered the dance floor.

This woman is not tall, so she should not be Beinan.

Dong Ge and Kui Si's attention has been on Xue Duyun, and they seem to be discussing something.

"Miss, why don't we go out and find something more exciting?" The man suddenly leaned into my ear and asked me ambiguously.

I backed away and smiled reluctantly.

"Sorry, I'm tired."

Just as the waiter passed by me, I picked up a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and walked in the direction of Brother Dong and Kui Si.

Kui Si just stood up, I pretended to bump into him inadvertently, and he reached out to support me.

I rubbed my temples, pretended to be drunk and said, "Sorry, I drank a little too much."

Kui Si sniffed and smiled wretchedly.

"It's okay, miss, I'll help you sit down."

I said "hmm" and pointed to an empty seat in the corner.

"Go there, it's too noisy in here."

Kui Si helped me over, I don't know whether it was on purpose or not, when he let me sit down, others almost stuck to me.

My fingers brushed against his waist unintentionally, and touched something hard.
