Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 128

Chapter 128 : Fighting, my girl.

Yan Liang said "Oh", and the servant probably saw that she was hesitant to speak and looked around, said very tactfully, "Miss Bai, Mr. Liang went out last night. He seemed to say that he had something important to do, but he reminded me to wake you up before 8 o'clock today."

"... Well, did he say where he went?"

"Mr. Liang didn't say, but told us to let you have breakfast before sending you to the venue."

Yan Liang saw that she couldn't get any more questions, so she stopped asking, went back to the room to change clothes, and washed up briefly before going downstairs.

The servants had already prepared breakfast. Yan Liang looked at the table full of exquisite food and knew that these must have been specially ordered by Liang Xi Cheng. She ate a little, thought about it, and took out her mobile phone and took the initiative to call Liang Xi Cheng.

The call was not connected, and she was even more puzzled.

In fact, Liang Xi Cheng's personal mobile phone is almost never turned off, and it is still early in the morning. How could his call not be connected?

Yan Liang put down the phone and picked up the spoon to stir the porridge in the bowl. She didn't have much appetite, but she knew that she had to participate in the competition today, so she reluctantly ate a little more. When she finally went to the venue, it was Liang Xi Cheng's family driver who personally sent her there.

Yan Liang prepared everything she needed, and just got off the car, she saw Chu Yi Sheng at the entrance of the venue.

He wore a simple casual suit today, his tall body lazily leaning on the car body, holding a half-burned cigarette in one hand, squinting one eye, smoking.

This dazzling man, no matter how he posed, could not be ignored.

He just stood there, smoking casually, and the women who passed by him could not help but look back frequently. But this man did not know how to be low-key at all, and even the posture of inhaling and exhaling smoke rings was particularly seductive.

Yan Liang took a deep breath, calmly moved her eyes away from his face, then walked past him and walked in.

At this time, her wrist was grabbed by someone, and Yan Liang paused, as if she was not surprised at all, and her tone was also light, "Mr. Chu, I have something important to do today."

"There are still more than two hours before the competition starts." Chu Yi Sheng stretched out his hand to pinch out the cigarette butt, raised his hand, and threw it accurately into the trash can beside him, saying, "Last time in the bidding for the 'government' building, you had a chance to stand out, and it was indeed me who interfered, so this time, I will not affect you again."

"Your current behavior is affecting me, please let it go."

Chu Yi Sheng frowned and stopped talking. There were too many people passing by them, and he knew how to avoid them this time. He ignored Yan Liang's objection and pulled her to a small path on the side of the venue.

"Chu Yi Sheng—“ Yan Liang was a little annoyed, "What do you actually want to do?"

"No need to act hostile to me like this."

Chu Yi Sheng's usual cold and arrogant tone, at this moment, actually revealed a bit of bitterness and helplessness. Yan Liang didn't know if she saw it wrong, or she heard it wrong, but the flashing light in his eyes was clearly something she had never seen before. If she was described in four words, then his current expression was clearly—cautious.

"The misunderstanding between you and me was also because of that design drawing. No matter what I, Chu Yi Sheng, do, there will never be the word regret in the dictionary of life, but now, I admit to you that I regret it."

He said, "Bai Yan Liang, if time can go back, I would rather not use your design drawing. You are so upset about this matter. Even if I saved you in front of so many reporters before, you are unwilling to open your heart to me again to make new relationship .... But I clearly said that if you see me on the road in the future, don't turn a blind eye."

"Chu Yi Sheng, you ...."

Yan Liang found that there were countless words rolling in her heart, but when they reached to her mouth, she couldn't even say a complete word.

In fact, she had long forgotten about the original design drawings. It had been so long since the incident, and she was not the kind of person who liked to be petty, not to mention that Chu Yi Sheng had helped her more than once.

But even she didn't know why, every time she saw him, she seemed to always want to avoid, stay away, and turn a blind eye.

Perhaps, it was not because she really hated his existence, but because ... she understood the way he looked at her.

—She was not an ignorant little girl who didn't know the world. She could still tell whether the look a man gave a woman was just as calm as water or hidden with turbulent waves.

So she could feel that Chu Yi Cheng had a man's desire for a woman towards her.

But she couldn't bear anything, nor could she give anything.

Therefore, the only thing she could do was to avoid it.

"Hmm? Why don't you speak? Go on, say whatever you want to say."

Chu Yi Sheng saw that she stopped talking halfway, and couldn't help but lean over slightly and get closer to her.

Yan Liang just raised her head and glimpsed the shadow reflected in his deep eyes. She clearly saw that the person in it had clear eyes like water and calm eyes. She could feel her heartbeat, one after another, almost without any rapid disorder.

Both are men, when Liang Xi Cheng approached her, she couldn't be so calm.

But Chu Yi Sheng ...

She knew that it was only because she had no feelings for this man.

Yan Liang pursed her lips and finally spoke, "Chu Yi Sheng, what do you want me to say? In fact, we are all adults. Some things don't need to be said so clearly. Just stop here. You and I are clear in our hearts, and that's enough."

Chu Yi Sheng's heart sank straight into the abyss.

In the cold and dark abyss.

He had already known it for a long time –but he was unwilling to give up, so he was struggling to deceive himself. He didn't really go very far on this unfamiliar emotional road, but he had already been broken and bloodied.

"What Liang Xi Cheng can give you, I can also give you, but what he can't give you, I can give you." Chu Yi Sheng suppressed his emotions, still unwilling to let go, his slightly cool fingers gently brushed her cheek, and finally stopped at her eyebrows, his fingertips seemed to reveal a bit of nostalgic temperature.

Yan Liang wanted to avoid it, but he reached out and held her chin, and finally heard him speak word by word, his overbearing tone revealed a bit of temptation—“Don't run away. Bai Yan Liang, you are the first woman I want to treat seriously, why can't you consider me? Liang Xi Cheng is not as perfect as you think, at least I can tell you that he can't give you a legitimate status. Now that your belly is big, are you willing to be a woman who can't see the light? Or are you willing to let your child become a bastard?"

He is Chu Yi Cheng, a member of the Chu family. In his bones, he has a strong and overbearing bloodline. Even if he looks handsome or gentle, it is just an illusion. He still didn't want to give up. Even if she had just rejected him, so what? He didn't believe there was a woman that Chu Yi Sheng couldn't get.

Yan Liang maintained the original posture, motionless, raised her red lips slightly, and said with some self-mockery, "Since everyone knows that I am pregnant, to put it bluntly, I am just a withered flower. I really can't understand, Mr. Chu, with your wealth and appearance, what kind of woman can't you get? Why do you have to pester me?"

"Pester?"

Chu Yi Sheng snorted and laughed, and his cold thin lips gradually approached her, but when he saw the panic in her eyes, he turned slightly, and his hot breath had stopped at her ear. He didn't force her to kiss her, but almost bit her ear.

"If you think it's pestering, then let it be. Who told me that I have taken a fancy to you? You don't need to remind me that you have become Liang Xi Sheng's woman. I have always been very clear." He laughed softly, "But I, Chu Yi Sheng, have never been a person who will easily give up. Don't worry, from now on, I will pursue you in my own way. I won't force you. Bai Yan Liang, you can live a peaceful life. I will wait for you here. I believe that you will look back and see my existence."

Yan Liang's body stiffened, but Chu Yi Sheng had already let her go, and his thin lips gently slid across her cheek, seemingly unintentionally, but clearly with a warm feeling of attachment.

What he just said, the way he looked at her now—

All of them conveyed a message, which was also four words—determination to win.

Yan Liang bit her lip, and before she could refute anything, Chu Yi Sheng had already reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, returning to his usual unrestrained and unruly manner, curling up the corners of his lips, and whispered, "Fighting, my girl, in today's competition."

Yan Liang blinked her eyes, and was really a little confused.

Because she had never seen such a gentle Chu Yi Sheng, she couldn't even say a word for a while, but he had already turned around and walked directly to his car, and then drove away under her gaze.

***

This time, the architectural design competition is linked to the "government", so 80% of the participants are fresh graduates.

It is said that if you become the first in the competition this time, it is equivalent to being certified by the "government" of City A, and your future will naturally be bright. Everyone hopes to be the best in the competition.

Yan Liang was a little confused before, why the "government" units of City A wanted to hold these architectural design competitions, but later she found out that it was because the newly appointed municipal party secretary had much more insightful ideas than the previous senior officials.

He intended to cultivate talents, and he held a bidding meeting for the municipal party committee building with this mentality.

Although Yan Liang's design drawing was hijacked by Far East people in the middle, everyone knew that because of the design drawing, Far East took over the three-year cooperation project of the municipal "government", which was simply a big fish.

For Yan Liang, although she hoped to achieve good results in the competition, she looked around and saw that the whole venue was filled with people. Her mentality was quite stable at this moment.

Just like Liang Xi Cheng said, normal performance is important for participation, and the results will come naturally.

Everyone knew the rules of the competition very well. The topic was announced temporarily. After Yan Liang found her position, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Liang Xi Cheng again, but she didn't expect that his phone was still turned off.

Yan Liang hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and saw that the time was almost up. She wanted to send a text message to Liang Xi Cheng before turning off the phone, but she thought that he probably wouldn't be able to see it, so she gave up.

When the time came, the competition started soon. After the topic was announced, Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

- Let the contestants perform freely within 2 hours and complete an architectural work that they think is very suitable in terms of time and ability.

Yan Liang had done this kind of quick design drawings almost every day before, so she didn't find it difficult at all. She could easily finish a drawing in 2 hours. However, this time she was participating in a competition, so she spent more than ten minutes before she finally started to draw.

After 2 hours, Yan Liang finished her work and looked up. It was time.

She looked at the finished drawing, pondered for a moment, picked up a pen, wrote a small word on the lower right of the drawing, and then wrote her name, and waited for the organizer to come and collect the drawing.

After leaving the venue, Yan Liang stood at the main entrance and waited for a while, but Liang Xi Cheng's car did not come, and even the driver of the villa did not come.

Yan Liang took out her mobile phone and pressed the power button. The screen flashed and quickly connected to the signal. Almost at the same time, a call came in. Yan Liang looked at the three words "Liang Xi Cheng" jumping on it, and her heart almost rose to her throat.

Without thinking, she immediately pressed the answer button.

"Have you finished the competition?" Liang Xi Cheng's deep voice reached Yan Liang's ears through the mobile phone waves. She could clearly detect that his voice was tired.

Yan Liang's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly tightened. Instead of answering, she asked, "Xi Cheng, why do you keep turning off your phone? Is there something wrong? Your voice doesn't sound right. Did something happen to you?"

"Don't be nervous."

Liang Xi Cheng chuckled and comforted her. His deep voice was even more charming because it was deliberately softened. "I'm fine, right? Nothing serious."

"How could you turn off your phone if there was nothing serious? Xi Cheng, tell me honestly, is it because of me that you ..."

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" Liang Xi Cheng interrupted Yan Liang, but he was really afraid that she would think about it. He avoided the main point and said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's Liang's business. There was a problem with Liang's branch in City D yesterday. My father couldn't rush over, so I flew over temporarily. I'm sorry I didn't tell you because I was afraid that it would affect your mood for the competition today."

"Are you in City D?"

"I'm back."

Yan Liang really heard a noisy sound from his side. It seemed that someone came to pick him up and asked him to get in the car.

He heard him say, "You have finished the competition now, right? I'll pick you up right away ..."

"No need." Thinking that he actually flew to City D last night and rushed back today, it means that he basically has no time to rest. From City A to City D, she knew that it would take at least more than 3 hours by plane. He probably had to be a frequent flyer non-stop except for meetings.

Yan Liang's heart choked, and she felt a little distressed. "I can go back by myself. You can take a rest. I'll go to your place to find you."

"Don't worry, your man is not that fragile." Liang Xi Cheng laughed softly again. Yan Liang heard him tell the driver to drive. After a pause, he said to her, "Yan Liang, don't go back to the villa. Didn't I tell you yesterday that I wanted to take you to a place after waiting for you today? Since you don't want me to pick you up, you can take a taxi here by yourself, okay?"

"... Where?"

"Sky Garden." Liang Xi Cheng said, "I'll wait for you there."
