Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The next day, Sun Wan woke up early again, moved her feet, and felt that the swelling and pain there had disappeared a lot, so she gave up the idea of ​​taking sick leave, changed clothes and got up slowly. She thought she got up early enough, and when she went out to see, someone was earlier than her. There are sandwiches, fried eggs, and sliced ​​kiwifruit on the table, and someone is reading a newspaper and munching on it.After being tossed about by her all night, and then got up early to play the role of a good husband, he still looks so personable, elegant and calm. After last night, Sun Wan lost her heart to fight him.After dressing up, she didn't wait for his greeting, and went back to the restaurant for dinner in a timely manner.After going out, she didn't refuse him to drive her to work.

They were silent all the way, and they maintained the superficial peace very well. When going to work, Sun Wan tried her best not to let herself think about the word "Yu Xiaofei", but turned to deal with the unfinished work yesterday.Facing the gossip full of papers, she felt a more disgusting feeling than before, but she still had to endure it. For the whole day, Zhuo Lincheng didn't call.When it was time to get off work, Sun Wan's mood became disturbed, and even the news of the financial notice that her salary had arrived could not relieve her. The moment the computer was turned off, the phone that had been quiet all day suddenly rang, causing Sun Wan to tremble. She grabbed it and saw that it was Zhuo Lincheng. She was stunned for a long time before answering the phone with mixed feelings.The content of the call was very simple. He came to pick her up for dinner and asked her what she wanted to eat.Sun Wan replied lightly, "whatever".

When they arrived in Wancheng, Sun Wan found that there were only the two of them in the huge restaurant, and saw that the waiter disappeared completely after serving the food, so she understood what he meant. While eating quietly, Sun Wan was writing a draft in her heart.After a long time, Zhuo Lincheng put down the knife and fork, "No matter what is on your mind, it's best not to exceed 48 hours." Sun Wan had to admit that he was very skillful, and he turned such a sensitive matter into a trifling matter with an understatement.What's even more hateful is that he clearly knew what she was thinking about, yet he wanted her to say it himself.Sun Wan didn't want to make detours with him, the more detours she made would only put herself at a disadvantage, "How is Miss Yu?"

She didn't know what happened that day, but it wasn't hard to guess from his nervousness. Zhuo Lincheng didn't expect her to say this, so he paused for a second, "It should be fine. No matter what kind of trouble a drunk person made at the time, it's just a little headache when he wakes up." By the way, he gave an explanation for his hasty departure that day. Sun Wan smiled, "It's hard for me to imagine under what circumstances, I would call Teacher Xia late at night because I was drunk, and Teacher Xia would leave my teacher and wife immediately and come over to take care of me. Zhuo Lincheng, Could it be that now, do you still want to tell me that you and Ms. Yu are only in business contact?"

Zhuo Lincheng was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I did hide something from you. Ms. Yu and I are very good friends." "I always thought that friends were a very legitimate relationship. I didn't expect that with you, it would become a relationship that needs to be concealed, avoided, and concealed." Sun Wan's hands under the table trembled unconsciously. "I'm just worried that you misunderstood." "Misunderstanding? For no reason, I misunderstood what you are doing?" Sun Wan restrained the excitement in her heart, "Could it be that in your heart I am just a boring person who likes to create something out of nothing."

After a long while, Zhuo Lincheng replied: "Maybe I was a villain in vain." Sun Wan didn't want to chat with him any longer, he would always have a way to scratch her affected area.She picked up the wipes, lowered her head to wipe her mouth, and sneered silently.When the corners of her eyes were wet with a smile, she put down the wet wipes heavily, grabbed her bag, pushed away the chair, got up and left. Zhuo Lincheng caught up with her, and hugged her forcefully from behind, "Is it interesting to treat me like this for an unimportant person?" It's fine if he didn't say that, but when she heard the words "it doesn't matter", Sun Wan suddenly became angry, and while struggling hard, she broke his arm, "It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter, you will avoid me to answer the phone? It doesn't matter It's important that you rush over late at night to help her clean up the drunken mess? It doesn't matter that your clothes will be left with lipstick marks? How stupid would I be to believe that she is your insignificant person. "

Zhuo Lincheng was stunned for a moment, and hugged her even harder, "She was drunk that night, and she called me in a thunderstorm to get drunk. Innocent, but you have to believe that I will never do anything to hurt you anyway." Unstoppable tears rolled down Sun Wan's eyes. She obviously hated cheating, but when he truly admitted that he was not innocent, her heart shrank even more, until she couldn't straighten up. Zhuo Lincheng reached out to wipe away the more and more tears on her face, till the end, he buried his head on her shoulder guiltily. Sun Wan struggled and weakened, and leaned against his arms in a daze, the tears on her face gradually dried up in the warm wind of the restaurant, making her face tense and painful, and from time to time, tears flowed out of her eye sockets like inertia.

They sat facing each other in the restaurant until late that night. Zhuo Lincheng no longer concealed the story between him and Yu Xiaofei.They met in a rear-end accident. After the accident, they were surprised to find that they could always meet each other on different occasions, such as parties, banquets, and golf courses.So the friendship between the two went from nodding, smiling to greeting. Later, Yu Xiaofei became the female companion of a close friend in Zhuo Lincheng's circle, and the number of times the two of them met increased day by day.During a chat, Yu Xiaofei heard that Zhuo Lincheng had a film and television project, so she generously offered him his first show after winning the award.Later, Yu Xiaofei broke up with that close friend peacefully, but she and Zhuo Lincheng became confidantes.

In this story, Zhuo Lincheng spoke carefully and honestly, as for what was erased, only he knew best.He couldn't be honest, the first time he saw Yu Xiaofei, he was attracted by her eyes.Her eyes were very similar to Sun Wan's, the difference was that there was no resistance or indifference towards him in her eyes, but the weakness and tenderness he imagined he could see from Sun Wan's eyes. Yu Xiaofei, who is extremely smart, quickly exposed his weakness, and opened the door to his heart with her eyes.They have become ambiguous confidants who can express their feelings to each other.In relationships, women are always prone to be addicted to men one step ahead.Soon, Yu Xiaofei began to pursue him passionately, and when she was convinced that he would never betray her marriage, she offered to be his lover who would accompany him everywhere.

During the coldest period of his marriage with Sun Wan, he also had his heart wavering once or twice, but he managed to control it in the end.Afterwards, he resolutely withdrew, so resolute that he didn't even pay attention to the movie that he invested heavily in.If she hadn't been injured at work, he would have had no choice but to see her, almost forgetting that such a person had almost broken into his life. When they got home, both of them were overwhelmed and sat quietly on the sofa without turning on the light.Sun Wan felt that her body and brain were exhausted, but she didn't want to sleep, so she just sat with her knees folded and stared out the window until she saw the morning star.

At dawn, Zhuo Lincheng went to hug her, but she didn't refuse, followed by an extremely chaotic and intense sexual intercourse. Before waking up at noon, Sun Wan had many dreams, and she always woke up in the dream. After waking up, she fell into another dream.In the mist, she felt that Zhuo Lincheng was kissing her, and also felt that he was leaving her side.He seemed to say something to her, and she answered with a buzzing hum, and then forgot it in an instant. After waking up, she received a call from Zhuo Lincheng, saying that he was already at the airport, and asked her to take good care of herself.After hanging up the phone, Sun Wan vaguely remembered that Zhuo Lincheng said in the morning that he was going to fly to America.Not long after the call was hung up, Sun Wan received Zhuo Lincheng's itinerary from Holly. Only then did she know that Zhuo Lincheng intends to go there to buy a special effects company. If the trip goes well, she will be back in less than a month. Sun Wan stared blankly with her mobile phone in her hand, then sent an email to Zhuo Lincheng, asking him to find time to visit Li Ya on her behalf, and attached Li Ya's latest phone number. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but since Zhuo Lincheng left, the weather in Beijing has been getting colder every day.Entering October, Beijing simply has a lot of snow. Due to time difference and Zhuo Lincheng's busy schedule, Sun Wan could only receive brief calls from him every day before going to bed.When he called, he was either having breakfast with the staff or on his way to negotiate.Sometimes the content of the conversation is the morning scene of Los Angeles, sometimes it is about complaining about American food, and more often it is a love story that is on point.When he was in a good mood, he would also tell Sun Wan some anecdotes about his trip to the United States. For example, the boss of the special effects company was well versed in Chinese characteristics and almost dragged the male members of their negotiating team to a striptease show.After Sun Wan laughed, she felt more relieved, it seemed that his return date would not be delayed for too long. At night without Zhuo Lincheng by her side, Sun Wan spent most of her time watching movies and reading books.In the choice of movies, she began to prefer movies that a large number of renderings of American urban scenery.It's a pity that no matter what the subject matter is, it will eventually become a catalyst for her to miss Zhuo Lincheng. Being alone became like sitting on pins and needles, she bought his favorite perfume and sprayed it in every corner of the house.She gradually developed the habit of staying up late, but she couldn't find an antidote for insomnia. One late night, she was lying on the sofa alone and stayed up late watching "L.A. Story". When she was about to cry, the phone rang.She answered the phone immediately, and before she had time to finish a sentence with him, Li Ya's infectiously happy voice came, "My dear, your husband and I are shopping at Six flags, and today we have "The Twilight Story" City" theme, a white girl praised your husband as handsome as a vampire... The weather is so beautiful, the atmosphere is also great, the only thing that is not perfect is without you... Old Sun, if I didn't meet him, I really wouldn't I know I miss you so much." Sun Wan almost burst into tears, and covered her mouth, "I miss you too." "I'm going to take him to see my show on Broadway later, so don't be jealous." "I also want to see." "I asked him to secretly record a video for you, haha." The phone was transferred back to Zhuo Lincheng, his voice was full of joyful vigor, "Li Ya is fine, she is alive and kicking compared to when she was in China, I am relieved to see her living so happily." Sun Wan lightly bit the second knuckle of her index finger and said tearfully, "Lincheng, I miss you." He was quiet for a while, and then said in a suppressed voice, "I'll be back soon." After hanging up the phone, it really was another sleepless night. At the end of October, the movie starring Yu Xiaofei was released, and Sun Wan went to see it on the weekend, and actually watched the whole movie calmly.A month ago, she thought she would not be able to pass this test, but now she finds that the only thing that is really difficult to pass in this world is the shackles of love and bondage of love. On the weekend evening, Sun Wan was lazily lying on the soft couch in the sun room, flipping through a life comic.The manga was very interesting, but she read it impatiently. After reading more than half of the book, she turned her head to a pot of blooming roses and covered her face with the book to fall asleep. When she was about to fall asleep, the book on her face was suddenly taken away by a hand, and a voice whispered in her ear: "The sweet soup in the kitchen is about to boil dry." Sun Wan opened her eyes suddenly, and saw the face that made her dream.Without any hesitation, they stretched out their arms to hug each other at the same time, his face kept rubbing against her long hair, sucking her taste greedily, followed by a tongue kiss that made her suffocate. "When did you come back?" she asked eagerly. "just." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I want to surprise you." His hands eagerly traveled along her moving curves, and before he even had time to express his thoughts, he pressed her down heavily on the soft couch.Sun Wan dodged his kiss, gasped and refused, "Don't be here." He resisted the impulse, hugged her and walked into the house. As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to suck her lips.Just then, a vibration came from his coat pocket.Without thinking about it, he reached in and broke it, then lowered his head to kiss her neck. Within a few seconds, the phone rang again, so he had no choice but to put down Sun Wan and answer the phone with a frown.Not knowing what was said there, he said in a blunt tone: "No." The other side said a few more words without hesitation, and even Sun Wan could faintly hear the other party's excited loud voice.Zhuo Lincheng moved the phone away from his ear, and only after the other party finished yelling, he said helplessly: "Okay, we will be there soon." After closing the phone, he held Sun Wan's red earlobe unwillingly and said, "Change and go out. It's Taozi's birthday, so let's all go get together." After finishing speaking, the two split up to act, the one who washed the dust washed the dust, and the one who changed the clothes changed.Considering that she was going to meet his friend, Sun Wan chose a more formal white dress and simply tied her hair in a bun.She stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and looked around for a while, then took out the lipstick and carefully applied it on her lips. Zhuo Lincheng, who walked to the door of the bathroom, saw this, went back to the living room, and took a box.He walked behind Sun Wan, took out a chain from the velvet box, and carefully put it on for her.Sun Wan's fingertips touched the brilliant pigeon's blood red in the center, "How did you think of buying such a bright color?" "Just to suppress your coldness." Zhuo Lincheng looked at her through the mirror, and whispered behind her ear: "It suits you very well." Suddenly thought of something, Zhuo Lincheng led her to the living room, took out a big box from the suitcase and handed it to her, "Li Ya asked me to bring you a gift." Sun Wan took it, "What is it?" "She said it was a secret." Sun Wan couldn't contain her curiosity, so she took out a pair of scissors, Zhuo Lincheng took it, and cut open the package in twos and twos.The moment they opened the box, both of them were stunned, only to see a set of extremely flimsy and sexy underwear lying in the box. Sun Wan bit her lip, turned her face away, "Eat the bad things crawling inside and out." Zhuo Lincheng endured the pain with a smile, if not for her awkward expression, he would have applauded Li Ya's kindness. Sun Wan bent down angrily and covered the box, gathered the shawl on her shoulders, and went straight to the door. Xu Tao's birthday party was held in his "Huangzu" nightclub.Zhuo Lincheng knew that Sun Wan resisted such a place, so he took her to a special passage to avoid the smog in the hall. The elevator goes straight to the top floor, which is different from the crowd of demons dancing downstairs. The top floor is unusually quiet, revealing an uncomfortable pressure.Zhuo Lincheng led Sun Wan around the empty cubicles until they arrived at the VIP room at the end of the corridor.The moment the door was pushed open, there was a huge sound of music and noise, and Sun Wan was really startled, as if she had suddenly traveled into a different world. Ten pairs of men and women who were drinking and drinking, under the dim and ambiguous light, some of them yelled five times, some roared songs excitedly, and mixed with the women's laughter and good news. Zhuo Lincheng frowned, regretting bringing Sun Wan to such an occasion.However, it was too late to leave. Xu Tao hugged a beautiful woman and patted Zhuo Lincheng's shoulder heavily, "If Brother Yin hadn't seen you at the airport, I would have been cheated by you. Hurry up and find a place to sit. "As he said, he smiled and shook Sun Wan's hand, "Sister-in-law is really flattering!" In the end, Xu Tao pushed Zhuo Lincheng into the crowd, and said in a low voice, "Everyone else brings their second sister-in-law, but you bring your elder sister-in-law. How can brothers deal with themselves?" Sun Wan pretended not to hear, Ren Zhuo Lincheng placed her in the corner at the end of the sofa.Zhuo Lincheng lowered his head and said apologetically, "I didn't expect this kind of occasion... Wait for a while, I'll leave after three rounds of drinking with them." Sun Wan nodded understandingly.After Zhuo Lincheng left, Sun Wan took out her mobile phone to fight against zombies boredly.Unfortunately, Zhuo Lincheng's so-called "wait a moment" quickly changed from the half hour she expected to one hour or two hours. The noise in the private room almost lifted the roof, Sun Wan glanced there several times tiredly, and finally couldn't help but lean on the armrest of the sofa and fall asleep. A few minutes later, Zhuo Lincheng pulled back and covered her with his coat.Knowing that he was looking at her, Sun Wan deliberately frowned to express her dissatisfaction. Zhuo Lincheng went over there to inform her, and then returned to sit beside her again.Seeing her pretending to be asleep in an unreasonable way, he held back a smile and stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms, sipping red wine with one hand, and moved the other to her waist calmly. Sun Wan flinched, opened her eyes and stared at him, but his hands stayed on the spot honestly. He sipped the red wine with a half-smile, then suddenly lowered his head to bite her lips, opened her teeth, and poured the little red wine into her mouth with his tongue. Sun Wan's head became so hot that she almost lost her heartbeat.His tongue was nimbly teasing in her mouth, his right hand reached into her collar, and he took off her corset familiarly, kneading the softness of her chest.Sun Wan huddled in his arms silently, clutching the sofa tightly with one hand, and tugging at the coat on her body with the other.His hand quickly swam towards the penalty area, his fingers rubbing against the cloth in a leisurely manner.Sun Wan felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to resist, for fear of attracting others' attention, so she could only bite her lip and endure silently. Just when she was almost out of her wits, the sofa beside her sank heavily, and a drunken voice rang in their ears, "Brother Zhuo, what are you hiding here for?" Holding the red wine, Zhuo Lincheng said flatly: "Your sister-in-law is not feeling well, we have to leave now." Under the coat, his hands were even more reckless. Sun Wan put her face on his right arm almost imperceptibly, and bit his arm mercilessly. The red wine in Zhuo Lincheng's cup swirled a few times, and gradually regained his composure. "That can't be done, you still owe me a glass of wine!" Xu Tao insisted. Zhuo Lincheng stabilized his wine glass, and said calmly: "I'll make it up. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." After speaking, he quickly drank the remaining wine in the glass and put down the glass.At the same time, his right hand was naturally withdrawn, and he pretended to lower his head to call Sun Wan who was almost fainting, "Sun Wan, wake up, we should go." He thoughtfully helped Sun Wan up, wrapped her in his coat and went out. As soon as he went out, Sun Wan was hurriedly kissed by him, "Do you miss me very much?" Sun Wan paused for a moment, then suddenly put her arms around his neck on tiptoe, and kissed him back jerky but passionately, even she was frightened by her eagerness. All words no longer make sense.They kiss like they're going to eat each other.Zhuo Lincheng picked her up by the waist, and walked quickly towards the guest room area of ​​the nightclub.He hastily unlocked the compartment door and pushed her into the darkness. They tugged at each other until the buttons of his shirt fell to the floor one after another.He pressed her firmly against the wall, roughly ripped off her stockings, and entered her body abruptly, hitting and crushing her without any skill, as if he wanted to crush her. She braced her hands tightly against the wall, trying to gain the strength to stand.Feeling her whole body sliding down, he hugged her waist with one hand, clasped her fingers tightly with the other, and impacted her body more violently.She kept bumping against the cold wall, but she couldn't feel the pain, and she moaned and whimpered in the rhythm of his breathing.In the end, they fell on the bed in a daze, and reached the peak together while shaking violently. In the early morning of the next day, the two hugged the quilt and looked at the photos Zhuo Lincheng took back from the United States together.Sun Wan leaned on his chest, scrolling through the photos on the tablet, and soon came to the photo of him and Li Ya in Six Flags Park.Li Ya wore a crude Hanfu, and used thick ink to transform her face into that of Hua Mulan. Sun Wan's fingers froze, "Why is she dressed like this?" "She's working part-time at Six flags, which is playing Mulan. You look back and you see Spider-Man and Marilyn Monroe in a moment." Sun Wan, who was originally happy, was inexplicably depressed. After Li Ya went to the United States, she lived in an old attic. After studying, she went to various places that needed actors to work part-time without stopping.Li Ya claimed that she wanted to get more opportunities, but Sun Wan could easily guess that there were some economic reasons as well. Zhuo Lincheng captured her mind and stroked her long hair, "She is great, she is now an actor on Broadway. I secretly recorded a video, and she has a role in the latest "Miss Saigon". It is said that she Her boyfriend is going to cast her in an offbeat B-movie, and she's learning how to ride a horse and smoke a cigarette." Zhuo Lincheng quits the picture browsing, and clicks on a ten-minute video, which is a fragment of "Miss Saigon", in which Li Ya plays the roles of a wanton shrew and a thoughtless Chinese doll. After watching the video, Sun Wan finally felt much better.Holding the computer, she turned over and rested her head on his lower abdomen, "Are there any other photos?" "Yes, we went to a Chinese restaurant after the performance." Zhuo Lincheng did it for her, and found a group photo of them in a Chinese restaurant. Li Ya took off her makeup and looked calm.After glancing at it, Sun Wan suddenly sat up and swipe a few photos, "No! How did Yaya become like this?" Zhuo Lincheng sat up, hugged her and asked, "What's wrong?" "Don't you think she's too thin? And—" Sun Wan enlarged a photo, "How did her face become so crooked?" "Where is it crooked?" "Look carefully at her expression, Yaya didn't smile like this before." Zhuo Lincheng took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw something strange, in the enlarged high-definition photo, Li Ya's expression showed an unspeakable distortion, "I guess she might have done something on her face in order to be more photogenic. " "It's possible." Plastic surgery is not uncommon for actresses in the entertainment industry these days, Sun Wan felt relieved, "She's just messing about with nothing. No, I have to call and talk about her." Zhuo Lincheng shook his head, snatched the computer from her hand, grabbed her wrists, and pushed her down on the bed, "Sometimes you are really like your mother! It seems that I have to do something to protect Li Ya the bottom of the ear." A few days later, Sun Wan was at work when Zhuo Lincheng's phone call came in suddenly, "Go and ask for leave, there is an important banquet tonight, you need to prepare your clothes to attend." Sun Wan was working on a big manuscript that Lao Xia handed her, and said perfunctorily, "We'll talk about it tonight." "My whole staff will be there, you sure want to do whatever you want." "There are so many clothes at home." Sun Wan muttered dissatisfied. "I don't want the company's gossip topic tomorrow to be my wife's out-of-season Hermes." Zhuo Lincheng said concisely. Sun Wan had no choice but to raise the white flag and go to Lao Xia's place to ask for half a day off. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhuo Lincheng came to the newspaper office to pick her up.As soon as she got in the car, Holly presented a large stack of luxury albums to her, "It may be too late to visit the house, so you might as well see if there is anything you like, and I'll ask someone to bring it to you." Sun Wan picked up the top book, flipped through the pages, and pointed to a dress, "This one." Holly lowered her voice and said, "See if there is anything you like. I'll have someone order this to your size right away." Sun Wan realized that she had picked a custom-made style, so she changed the catalog and found a similar plain dress, and with the help of Holly, she selected shoes, bags and accessories. Sun Wan thought it was over, but Zhuo Lincheng drove the car to a villa.Sun Wan didn't understand what he meant, but didn't ask any further questions, and just silently held his arm after getting off the car. After entering the door, the servant took them to the reception room on the second floor. A middle-aged beautiful woman holding a black cat got up from the French window and smiled gracefully, "Here we are." The beautiful woman ordered a young assistant to bring a box, and went to Sun Wan to open it. The moment the box was opened, Sun Wan's heart jumped instinctively, and there were several sets of Biying Ying emerald diamond jewelry. Sun Wan averted her eyes and calmed down.Zhuo Lincheng picked up a thick green bracelet and asked softly: "Do you like it?" Sun Wan looked at the bracelet and didn't know what to say for a moment. The beautiful woman stroked the cat's head slowly, "Even if Chengcheng loves his wife, he should give us aunts some limelight. If I sell this to her, hurry up to your mother and aunts to come to me to buy the bracelet tomorrow." , what kind of goods should I take? Maybe force me to get a piece of Duan Jiayu." After hearing this, Zhuo Lincheng knew that he loved his wife dearly, so he overstepped the point, and put the bracelet back. The beautiful woman stepped forward, selected a Zhengyang green imperial concubine bracelet and pushed it into Sun Wan's wrist, "This one is of a good color, both stylish and pretty." Zhuo Lincheng glanced at it, then nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you, Aunt Fang." After buying the bracelet, Zhuo Lincheng took Sun Wan to sit for a while before getting up to leave. After the car drove up to the South Second Ring Road, Sun Wan raised her wrist and looked at the bracelet facing the sun, "How much money did that movie make last time?" Zhuo Lincheng said a number, and Sun Wan lowered her head, remembering a movie about jewelry and women in the Republic of China, "Half of it is in this bracelet. Why are you so courteous to me? I won't die because of it. " Zhuo Lincheng looked at her through the rearview mirror, and smirked, "It doesn't need to be so tragic, I just want you to dedicate yourself to me." Sun Wan blushed and glanced at him sideways, playing with the bracelet thoughtfully.Women are so strange that they may not believe in a man's vows, or in the lingering body entanglement, but they will believe that these cold stones represent true love. When she arrived at the hotel, Sun Wan realized that tonight was to celebrate the success of that movie.The banquet scene was very large, with more than a thousand people attending the banquet. The hall was brightly lit, singing and laughing.When Sun Wan and Zhuo Lincheng went downstairs together, all eyes were on them.So many people were looking at her, but Sun Wan found Yu Xiaofei in the crowd with a sensitive glance.She was wearing a dark red dress, and her hair was tied up in an old Shanghai style.She herself is very slender and not tall, but her neck is slender and graceful. From a distance, she looks like a calla lily in a dark red vase. Yu Xiaofei glanced at her, raised her glass to them, turned around and continued talking to the men behind her, from Sun Wan's angle, she could only see her soft and elegant profile. After Zhuo Lincheng delivered a formulaic speech, the music sounded, and the interrupted banquet resumed its enthusiasm. After Zhuo Lincheng took Sun Wan to meet several distinguished guests, he threw her into the wives' pile. The ladies are proud, so naturally they don't need to socialize all over the place, and because they are unlikely to be approached, they even want to show off their heads, and they all sit in the rest area and chat. Seeing that Sun Wan is an upstart, they did not hesitate to win them over. They chatted about some topics centered on her like a crescent moon, asked her background education on the sidelines, and tested her views on fashion politics and economics by the way, and Sun Wan dealt with them one by one.Seeing that they couldn't find fault with her, the topic gradually turned to clothing, jewelry and the latest property of each other's husbands that they were really interested in. Sun Wan sat suffocatingly, looking into the crowded hall from time to time, Zhuo Lincheng was chatting with a few middle-aged men, he was very involved in the conversation, and had no intention of looking over at all.She looked childishly at what was on each silver plate, and was sitting bored, when a person suddenly changed in front of the grand piano in the distance. "Look! Linda is ready to play the piano." A young lady was a little excited, and nudged another lady lightly with her elbow. "Huh? Didn't he claim that he would never perform at banquets and parties?" Sun Wan knows that Lin Da is a young pianist who has become famous in recent years. Because of his appearance and piano skills, the domestic media all follow him. "Oh, you don't even know who the person who moved him is?" While speaking, the lady pouted at Yu Xiaofei who was in front of the piano.I saw Yu Xiaofei standing behind Linda, leaning down gracefully, flipping through the score on the piano, smiling and talking to Linda.Linda nodded, got up and bowed towards the venue, the crowd in front of the piano retreated suddenly, leaving a large space. Everyone in the audience fell silent and looked at the past in unison.Linda held his breath and concentrated, raised his hand and played a series of smooth bass to start.Holding a red rose in her hand, Yu Xiaofei flicked her skirt, walked barefoot to the center of the venue, and performed a lyrical slow dance with her arms outstretched.Soon, the piano began its first variation, and the violins and guitars in the band kept up with the harmony and played the wild melody of Spanish dance music.Yu Xiaofei laughed heartily, dancing happily to the beat of the music, as enthusiastic as a burning fire. The band did not have a Spanish dance board, and the spectators who knew the music clapped along with the rhythm.Looking from a distance, Sun Wan could still see Yu Xiaofei's moving eyes turning to everyone who cheered her up. Such a confident and coquettish attitude made Sun Wan, who is a woman, feel a little short of breath. The eyes of the ladies unconsciously showed hostility towards her. People of this class instinctively loathe all women who might squeeze into the upper class by virtue of their own charm. Amid the thunderous applause, Sun Wan slowly returned to the sofa and sat down, picking up her glass of champagne.The voices of wives talking about Yu Xiaofei came from my ears, most of which were slanderous words, for example, after graduating from middle school, she went to bars and nightclubs in Beijing, and worked as a flesh and blood for many years before being brought into the film and television circle by a certain director of literary films; Another example is that her godfather and godbrother can be ranked outside the 100th place. They are really "ghosts and sorrows" in the eyes of the rich and powerful... In the end, someone concluded bitterly: "All the men and women out there bought into her. Even talented people like Lin Da fell under her pomegranate skirt. I don't think the sky will be able to take away such an evildoer." Sun Wan silently sipped the cold champagne in her glass, until someone patted her on the shoulder, and then she woke up and looked back. Zhuo Lincheng stretched out his hand towards her in a gentlemanly manner, with deep eyes, "Ma'am, can you show me your favor?" Sun Wan smiled and nodded, putting her hand in his palm. The dance music was changed to the famous Por una cabeza in "Scent of a Woman".Sun Wan is not good at tango, she dances cautiously, her lips are tight - fortunately, her expression is very suitable for tango's worried temperament. After dancing to the song, she sank deeply into Zhuo Lincheng's strong arms, panting and looking at him, his eyes had the desire to kiss her fiercely. At this time, a red figure appeared beside them, and they looked back at the same time. Yu Xiaofei nodded to them, then turned to Sun Wan, looked up and said, "Miss Sun, it's a pleasure to meet you." Her shoulders are upright, and the way she holds her head up has a kind of aggressive arrogance. If others show this posture, they will definitely arouse their disgust. The noble demeanor that a lady should have. Sun Wan was taken aback by her radiance, "It's a pleasure to meet you." Yu Xiaofei lowered her eyelids, her eyes narrowed into a careless smile, and said in a calm tone, "Does Miss Sun mind if I borrow Mr. Zhuo to dance?" After looking at each other so closely, Sun Wan discovered that Yu Xiaofei, who was almost presumptuous in the movies, also had a neuroticism different from ordinary people in reality.This kind of nervousness will inadvertently reveal from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, grabbing the whole body and mind of those around her. Sun Wan was inexplicably afraid of her, and forced a smile, "Of course I don't mind." Yu Xiaofei smiled brightly, turned around with her head held high, and reached out to Zhuo Lincheng, "Long time no see." They danced a slow waltz, the music was lingering and old, and it seemed that there would be no end to the song.Zhuo Lincheng's dancing posture was stiff, as if he was in a trance, Yu Xiaofei's head was hanging near his arms, like a mournful rose. Sun Wan suddenly wanted to take a breather.After a moment of hesitation, she got up and walked through the crowd to the bathroom. As soon as she stepped into the door of the bathroom, Sun Wan saw a long line of ladies stretching to the door.She didn't want to disturb those people, so she walked straight out of the hall. The elevator went down to the empty first floor, and she finally saw the deserted staff bathroom. When she got closer, she saw that there was a dressing room outside the bathroom. After washing her hands, Sun Wan walked into the dressing room and closed the door, found the powder from her handbag, and began to touch up her makeup. A few young girls chirped and walked into the bathroom next door, "I really want to go upstairs to watch the fun. I don't know if there will be fire splashing from the old lady to the young lady." Such a sentence suddenly nailed Sun Wan in place.However, the discussion next door continued. "Is Yu Xiaofei really Mr. Zhuo's third son? Didn't Tianya say that Yu Xiaofei and Shu Ze are a couple?" "It's true, we all saw that night, when Mr. Zhuo brought Yu Xiaofei over in the middle of the night, Yu Xiaofei was wearing pajamas—" the voice was lowered, "It's still protruding." "Isn't it said that Mr. Zhuo loves the proprietress very much? Besides, Mr. Zhuo has never brought Yu Xiaofei here. I don't believe Mr. Zhuo will always find someone from San'er." The voice of the gossip paused, and after a while, a female voice played up, not to be outdone, "I heard from Hua Zi, who is dedicated to tidy up Mr. Zhuo's room, that Mr. Zhuo often brings Yu Xiaofei here. Every time they come, they take the VIP elevator. Let's see It's not enough." "That's it... really disillusioned!" Behind the door, Sun Wan was spinning around, and the sweetness that had come over the past month turned into unbearable in a second, her body suddenly became cold, and her heart also became cold, even the air that was sucked into her cavity was icy cold. She tried her best to suppress the tumbling emotions: pain, helplessness, anger, despair, nausea, and took a deep breath while covering her mouth.She said to herself, this is a rumor, just a rumor, and forced herself to calm down quickly. She stood for a long time, the noise outside gradually faded away, still maintaining the posture of twisting the doorknob with one hand.It wasn't until her legs were a little numb that she slowly opened the door and walked outside. By coincidence, she happened to meet Holly who was walking this way. "Mrs. Zhuo, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly?" Holly stepped forward to support Sun Wan with concern. Sun Wan shook her head, forgot to be polite, and walked forward mechanically. Holly followed her, "Is there something uncomfortable? I'll go and ask Mr. Zhuo to come down." Sun Wan shook her head again, and finally returned to her rationality, "I have an upset stomach, I have to go first, he is busy, don't disturb him, you can inform him for me later." Seeing that she was almost unable to stand still, Holly was very worried, "Then I'll drive you." "No need to." "Mrs. Zhuo, it's hard for me to do this." "Thank you very much." Sitting in Holly's warm accordion, Sun Wan's legs kept shaking. Holly glanced at her several times through the car mirror and stopped in front of a milk tea shop.After a while, she swiftly handed a cup of warm honey citron tea to Sun Wan in the back seat. Holly坐回驾驶室，“需要先载您去医院吗。” 孙菀紧紧捧着那茶，“不要紧，只是胃痛。” Holly实在担心，“不如我带您去喝粥养养胃。这附近……”说着，她低头去搜粥店。 就在这时，孙菀忽然抬起头，缓缓道：“我记得余小姐家附近有家粥铺很好，不如你带我去。” Holly顿了半晌，“好。不过余小姐住哪边。” 刹那间，孙菀听见心底传来什么坍塌的声音，抽了口冷气，“你不知道吗。” Holly有些抱歉地一笑，“您还记得具体位置吗。” 孙菀将脸侧去一边，不让她看见自己失态，“算了，我也不记得了。” 深夜，孙菀纹丝不动地躺在床上。她觉得自己很冷静，眼眶却在发热，抬手遮住眼睛，压抑地抽泣了几声，又停了下来。 她想起某种感冒药有让人沉睡的作用，便爬起来取了两粒和水吞下。大片的白色药片卡在喉咙里，她艰难地下咽，直到眼睛鼻子红透。 孙菀倒回床上，听着时钟走字的声音，渐渐沉入半昏睡里。朦胧间，有人掀开被子在她身边躺下，将手探到她颈下。她原以为自己一辈子都会为这个温馨动作意乱情迷，但这一刻，皮肤上生理性地立起排斥的鸡皮疙瘩。 “睡了？”他的声音传来，在她听来，那惺惺作态的爱怜真叫人反胃。 她假装醒不来，索性连呼吸都停掉。 卓临城将要落去她肩上的手收回，习惯性地将脸埋入她的肩窝，沉沉地睡去。
