27.
Seeing Wen Chengshu change clothes and go downstairs, Wen Yinian put down the pillow in his arms, got up from the sofa, and looked at him: "Brother, didn't you say you're not going to the company today?"
"There is an important meeting that just came up." Wen Chengshu buttoned up his sleeve cuff and looked at him, his face showing a slight discomfort, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to speak up.
"What's wrong?" Wen Chengshu asked.
"Well, today is a holiday..." Wen Yiniang lifted her eyes and looked at him cautiously, "I want to invite some friends to come to our house, is that okay?"
"Okay," Wen Chengshu said, "but no drinking."
Wen Yinan immediately nodded and agreed: "Alright."
Wen Chengshu bent down to change his shoes at the shoe cabinet, catching a glimpse of Wen Yinan still standing next to him. He straightened up and looked at him, saying, "Is there anything else?"
Wen Yini pursed her lips and asked again, "Can we let them stay overnight at our house?"
Wen Chengshu thought to himself, not knowing where she learned to ask for more, and reluctantly nodded, saying, "Okay."
“Thank you, brother!” Wen Yinan quickly smiled, and his tone became cheerful, “Be safe on the road.”
It was as if he couldn't wait to rush him out the door.
Wen Chengshu was helpless and amused, about to leave, when he suddenly remembered the WeChat message Xing Ye had sent him earlier, saying he had seen Wen Yinan and a girl arguing downstairs in the dormitory building.
As he pressed the door handle, he casually asked, "Are there any girls inside?"
Wen Yini's face turned red in an instant and she stammered, "There, there are both boys and girls, several of them..."
Wen Chengshu turned his head and glanced at him, and Wen Yiniang lowered his eyes with a hint of guilt, avoiding his gaze.
"Be safe, I'm leaving."
It wasn't until Wen Chengshu had closed the door and left for a long time that Wen Yiniang suddenly realized the hidden meaning in his "Be safe" and blushed from his cheeks to the roots of his ears.
What is it.
The video conference with overseas branches went on until late at night.
After the meeting, the senior executives of the group left one by one, Wen Chengshu took off his glasses, leaned back in the soft chair in the meeting room, rested for a moment, and his gaze fell heavily on the bustling night outside the window.
The door was gently knocked, Wen Chengshu sat up straight, restrained his thoughts, and said in a flat tone, "Please come in."
The female secretary pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Mr. Wen, Mr. Huang from Nanfeng Group is still waiting for you in the reception room."
Wen Chengshu frowned slightly: "He hasn't left yet?"
"Yes. He has been waiting from this afternoon until now, saying he must see you today."
"Got it." Wen Chengshu leaned back on the back of his chair, massaged his temple, his voice sounding tired, "Book a table for me at Lichun Garden, and ask Lao Chen to wait for me downstairs at the company in five minutes."
The female secretary nodded, "Okay."
Meanwhile, it was obvious that the children at home had already forgotten the instructions he had given before leaving.
The empty cans on the coffee table and floor were scattered randomly, and the uneaten barbecue takeout was still piled on the dining table.
Wang Chen, who has the worst alcohol tolerance, fell asleep on the sofa early. Li Miaomiao wrapped herself in a blanket and sat cross-legged playing with birds in front of the window. Wen Yini's face was flushed, and his dark eyes were also wet with alcohol. He handed Li Miaomiao a glass of water, sat down beside her, and lay on the window like a docile little puppy.
On the wall, a curved screen TV over a hundred inches emitted a soft light, while the ears were filled with deafening game sound effects. Hao Fei sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of the coffee table, turning the game controller into a motion sensor game in real life.
Xing Ye rested his elbow on the coffee table, propped his head with one hand, and stared at the game screen in a trance.
Beside him, Hao Fei, with a sudden movement of his body, hit the edge of the coffee table with his lower back. Accompanied by a terrible scream, a row of prominent red words appeared on the screen: game over
The sound didn't disturb Xing Ye's meditation, but it startled Wang Chen on the sofa. He rolled off the sofa with a start, making quite a bit of noise, and also gave a start to Wen Yinan, who was dozing off by the window.
Wang Chen sat up from the ground, looking dazed and confused, and rubbed his head: "... Did an earthquake just happen?"
"No, it's time to sleep," Li Miaomiao turned her head and said to him, then reached over and rubbed the head of Wen Yinan, who was staring with two eyes, "You go to sleep too."
Wen Yiniang's face turned even redder. He shook his head and whispered, "I'm not sleepy."
"Go to bed, your eyes are about to pop out." Li Miaomiao laughed and got up, picked up the cans on the table with a garbage bag, and gently kicked Wang Chen, who was still sitting on the ground without any reaction. "Lazy brothers, it's time to disperse."
Hao Fei yawned and lazily stood up, rubbing his lower back. "Where are we going to sleep, cutie?"
The front door suddenly knocked, and Xing Ye, who was propping up his head and daydreaming, suddenly turned his head, his eyes lighting up slightly.
Li Miaomiao also glanced at the door and asked in surprise, "Who could it be so late?"
Wen Yinan got up and walked over to open the door, "It should be the cleaning lady, I just called her."
Xing Ye looked at the cleaning aunt who walked in from the door, the expectation in his heart fell empty, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Finally couldn't help it, he caught an empty space and asked in a low voice, "Your brother isn't coming home for Mid-Autumn Festival either?"
Wen Yinyan frowned slightly: "He was supposed to be at home today. But in the afternoon, he suddenly said he needed to go to the company for a meeting, and then he left..."
Xingye furrowed his brow slightly: "When did he leave for the company?"
Wen Yini nodded: "Yeah, we left after lunch."
Xing Ye's heart sank slightly, he looked at the time, twelve ten... how could it take so long to get here.
The housekeeper is cleaning the living room, and Wen Yini took them to the guest rooms, feeling a little hesitant: "But my house only has three guest rooms..."
"Hey, it's no big deal," Hao Fei raised his arm and put it on Xing Ye's shoulder, and raised his eyebrows at him, "We can squeeze a bit, can't we?"
Xing Ye looked listless, lifted his arm, walked into the room and lay on the bed, burying his face in the blanket and sighing heavily.
"Damn, do you have to despise me so much?" Hao Fei said.
Jesus, does she have to be so disdainful of me? Xingye thought.
