Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Marriott Hotels.

Jiang Wenzhao looked at the phone that had suddenly been hung up and gave a contemptuous smile.

He deleted the call record and put Lu Xingci's phone back in his bag.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she picked up her bag, clutched her room key, and walked towards the open-air parking lot outside the hotel.

He opened the back door, bent down and peeked inside, speaking gently.

"The room is ready. Here's the room key, and your ID card is in your bag too."

"You come out first, I'll get Xu Zhiwei out from the other end."

Xu Zhiwei had drunk too much and fell into a deep sleep leaning against Lu Xingci.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingci took the room key and bag, supported Xu Zhiwei's head with his hand, and helped her sit up in the chair.

As soon as Lu Xingci got out of the car, Jiang Wenzhao helped Xu Zhiwei out of the car from the other side.

Lu Xingci walked ahead, entered the elevator, pressed the floor button, and swiped his room card to open the door.

Jiang Wenzhao, with his back bent, followed behind with Xu Zhiwei on his back.

Once inside the room, he turned and laid Xu Zhiwei down on the bed.

He breathed a huge sigh of relief, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of resentment.

"How much did you eat tonight? You're so heavy."

Lu Xingci smiled and handed him a tissue to wipe his sweat.

"Weiwei isn't heavy, she's just too drunk to exert any strength, and she keeps falling. Thanks for your help."

Jiang Wenzhao changed his tone and smiled as he accepted the tissue.

"It's not tiring at all. On the contrary, you've been running around with me all this time. You've worked hard."

Jiang Wenzhao looked around the room; it was a standard room with a sofa.

He looked worried.

"Can you take care of her by yourself? Do you want me to stay and keep you company?"

I'm still a little uneasy about letting the two of you girls stay in a hotel, but you wouldn't agree to come to my place."

Lu Xingci looked up with suspicion.

"Huh? You live here too?"

Jiang Wenzhao quickly explained.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."

The main reason is that when I was abroad before, I experienced someone breaking into my hotel in the middle of the night and stealing my things.

I was just worried about the safety of you two girls staying in a hotel.

He pointed to the sofa.

"I can sleep on the sofa, which is close to the door, so I can know immediately if there's any movement."

It won't disturb your rest, and if Xu Zhiwei gets drunk and acts crazy in the middle of the night, I can lend a hand.

Lu Xingci did not suspect Jiang Wenzhao.

Hearing this, I could only feel sorry for him, having been alone and helpless abroad all these years.

She stepped forward, looking at Jiang Wenzhao with the tenderness of an older sister looking at her younger brother, and patted him on the shoulder.

"You must have had a tough time living alone abroad, right?"

Jiang Wenzhao's Adam's apple bobbed, and his hands, hanging by his sides, tightened.

He was about to raise his hand to cover Lu Xingci's hand when she pulled it back first.

"Don't worry, the public security in China is quite good, and this is Beijing, so the kind of situation you described won't happen."

Before Jiang Wenzhao could say anything more, Lu Xingci pushed him away.

"It's getting late, you should hurry back. You have a whole day of interviews tomorrow."

"Okay, then call me anytime if anything happens."

Helpless, Jiang Wenzhao had no choice but to leave the hotel in a huff.

Lu Xingci was also worried that the two girls might encounter some unexpected situation while staying in the hotel.

As soon as Jiang Wenzhao left, she locked the door from the inside and then moved a chair to block the door from behind.

Then I took another clothes hanger and hung it on the doorknob, with a cup hanging on the other end of the hanger.

This means that as long as the door is opened from the outside, or someone tries to open it.

The cup will fall onto the chair, making a loud noise.

After finishing these tasks, Lu Xing retrieved the makeup remover and cleaning supplies she had previously purchased at the convenience store.

First, remove Xu Zhiwei's makeup and wash her face.

After I finished washing her up and tucking her in, I took my phone and went to the bathroom.

Following the instructions online, I thoroughly checked the bathroom to make sure there were no hidden cameras before I felt comfortable taking off my clothes to shower.

When I was on a business trip with Song Qinghui and we stayed in a hotel before.

Seeing her overly cautious manner, Song Qinghui laughed at her for making a mountain out of a molehill.

It's said that such a situation is impossible in an expensive hotel.

But he simply doesn't understand that a girl needs to be aware of far more things than a man when she's out and about.

Lu Xingci felt that being cautious was ultimately the right thing to do.

After taking a shower, my fatigue lessened and my drowsiness disappeared.

I pulled my phone out of my bag and lay down on the bed to watch some short videos.

As soon as I unlocked it, I saw several missed calls.

They all come from Song Qinghui.

Lu Xingci couldn't help but sigh, clicked back, and chose to ignore it.

The next second, Shen Yu's message came in unexpectedly.

Shen Yu: [Asleep?]

Lu Xingci was a little surprised.

Why did he suddenly contact me?

But then I remembered what Xu Zhiwei said: Shen Yuren was still abroad discussing the merger and acquisition deal.

It must still be daytime on his end, and he's at work.

Lu Xingci replied with a sentence.

【Um】

Shen Yu replied quickly, so it seemed he wasn't busy right now.

[Can you still reply to me even though you're asleep?]

I have a habit of sleepwalking.

How come I didn't notice when we slept together the last few times? Looks like I'll have to stay awake next time, lest you sleepwalk and do something bad to me.

Lu Xingci: ...

Aren't you busy? Does being a boss mean you can slack off at work?

[I'm not slacking off, I'm thinking of you]

These inexplicable words made Lu Xingci's cheeks burn.

He really is a playboy; sweet talk just comes out of his mouth.

【Please don't think of anyone else, Mr. Shen. I'm busy.】

Busy starting a business?

Lu Xingci was a little surprised. He was such a busy person, yet he knew about her and Jiang Wenzhao's joint venture.

Before Lu Xingci could reply, Shen Yu's message popped up again.

"Haven't seen me for a month, don't you miss me? Let's meet up!"

[Location in the Evening Breeze]

Lu Xingci, who was originally sitting on the headboard, jumped up from the headboard when he saw the location in the evening breeze.

In the evening breeze?

Has he returned to China?

Didn't Xu Zhiwei say he wouldn't be able to finish his work until tomorrow or the day after?

Just as Lu Xingci was hesitating, Shen Yu sent another message.

[Not convenient? Or do you not want to see me? Tsk tsk tsk, my sister gets bored with the old and craves new things a little too quickly.]

It's really inconvenient. I'm out with a friend, and she's had too much to drink. I can't leave her alone in the hotel.

Meanwhile, in the evening breeze, in the private room on the third floor.

Shen Yu was wearing a white shirt and black vest, with a dark gray tie tied meticulously.

The black trousers were long and straight, with long legs casually crossed, and the suit jacket was draped over the armrest of the sofa.

Next to the coat was a purple velvet gift box, with a pink ribbon tied in a bow on the outside.

Unlike his usual dissolute and unrestrained behavior, his hair was neatly combed today, revealing a smooth and full forehead.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and red lips and white teeth.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, giving him an air of refined restraint yet alluring charm.

Behind the glasses, her captivating peach blossom eyes stared at the word "she" on the screen, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved into a pleasant smile.

Is this an explanation being given to him?

Afraid he'll misunderstand?

Duan Lingfeng brought his wine glass closer.

"Brother Yu, you're really giving me a lot of face. You came straight here as soon as you got off the plane."

"Let's not get drunk tonight..."

Before Duan Lingfeng could finish speaking, Shen Yu suddenly stood up.

A coat was draped over his forearm, and his large, well-defined hands held a purple velvet gift box.

Duan Lingfeng was surprised, "You're leaving already? Didn't you just arrive? You haven't even had a sip of your drink yet."

Shen Yu strode outside, leaving behind a single sentence.

"I'm not drinking anymore, I'm going to find my wife."
