"After eating, go home and I'll wait for you." These four simple words revealed a firm command.
After He Zikai finished speaking, he hung up the phone and walked into the restaurant without giving Cheng Nuo a chance to continue talking.
Cheng Nuo put the phone away dully, followed He Zikai with his eyes, and saw that after he walked into the restaurant, he did not come to the dining table area in the lobby, but walked upstairs.
"What's wrong?" Si Liheng asked with concern when he noticed that Cheng Nuo's whole expression changed after answering the phone call.
"Oh," Cheng Nuo finally came to his senses, looked back at Si Liheng, and said, "My husband, he comes here to eat too."
"..." When Si Liheng heard that Cheng Nuo said it was her husband, Si Liheng frowned and immediately looked to where Cheng Nuo was looking at just now, but there was no one there.
"He... misunderstood us?" Si Liheng asked, a little worried that his invitation to dinner today would bring trouble to Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo forced a smile and shook his head, "No."
Si Liheng looked at Cheng Nuo, not knowing what to say next.
"Eat quickly." Cheng Nuo picked up the chopsticks again and said to Si Liheng when he was about to continue eating.
"Um……"
After the two of them had dinner, Cheng Nuo paid the bill. After saying goodbye at the door of the restaurant, Cheng Nuo drove towards home.
When He Zikai asked him to go home, he must have looked very angry, so he had no other choice.
In the private room of Yuexiang Restaurant, because of He Zikai's mood, the two customers and An Lin did not dare to talk much, let alone joke. The four of them did not drink, nor did they perform the etiquette of the wine table. They just filled their stomachs.
After finishing their meal, the two customers left first.
He Zikai and An Lin got into the car, and He Zikai ordered, "Go back to Lishui Bay."
"Yes." An Lin replied, started the engine, and drove the car towards the shore of Lishui Bay.
…
By the Lishui Bay, Aunt Lan and Bai Jing were surprised to see their wife back.
"Madam, have you had lunch?" Bai Jing walked up to ask. His wife called him in the morning and said that he would have dinner with friends at noon, so he did not go to relax today, but his wife went home now, so...
…Shouldn’t she be at the leisure bar?
"Well, I've eaten," Cheng Nuo replied to Bai Jing, and then continued, "Don't worry about me, you can go about your business."
"Well..." Bai Jing nodded, looked at his wife's back as she went upstairs, and then turned around to get busy.
Twenty minutes later, He Zikai returned home. As soon as he walked into the living room, he started looking for Cheng Nuo.
Bai Jing was surprised again when she saw her husband coming back. Just when she was about to say hello, she heard her husband say.
"Where's Nuo'er?" He Zikai asked Bai Jing.
"My wife is upstairs." Bai Jing replied immediately, not daring to neglect for a second.
He Zikai then strode upstairs without saying anything.
Bai Jing was very depressed, muttering to herself, what happened to Mr. and Mrs. today? They came back one after another, and it seemed that neither of them was in a good mood.
In the bedroom, Cheng Nuo changed his clothes in the cloakroom. As soon as he walked out, he saw the bedroom door being pushed open, and then He Zikai walked in.
After He Zikai walked into the bedroom, he walked straight to Cheng Nuo with an angry look on his face.
Cheng Nuo saw He Zikai coming and stood there without moving, waiting for He Zikai to approach him.
He Zikai stood in front of Cheng Nuo. The two looked at each other. He Zikai asked, "Who is that man?"
Cheng Nuo felt a little nervous when he heard He Zikai's cold voice, but on the surface he still replied indifferently, "A friend I just met not long ago."
"Where did we meet?" He Zikai asked. He had always known Cheng Nuo's close friends of the opposite sex, but he had never seen the man he saw at Yuexiang Restaurant just now.
"The first time we met at the leisure bar, and then..." Before Cheng Nuo could say anything else, he was silenced by He Zikai's voice.
"Cheng Nuo." He Zikai gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words. One hand suddenly reached out and pinched Cheng Nuo's arm, using some strength.
I opened the leisure bar for her so that she could provoke men?
"Believe it or not, if I make a phone call right now, the lounge bar will be closed immediately." He Zikai said angrily, if the lounge bar allowed another man to occupy a place in her heart, she would immediately make the lounge bar disappear.
Whatever career he had, all disappeared. He only wanted this woman's single-minded focus.
"I believe it, but..." Cheng Nuo paused and said, "If the leisure bar closes, I will find another job. From now on, we will be financially independent from each other."
All she wants is a career and independence. If this man uses a leisure bar to pressure her, she can bear the pain and let him do it, but she will not let her life become decadent and goalless.
The anger in He Zikai's heart increased a lot. Damn it, are we financially independent? Does she really intend to draw a clear line with herself? And then go to that man smoothly?
"Cheng Nuo, do you want to die?" He Zikai said fiercely, and the strength in his hands became stronger.
Cheng Nuo felt that his arm was about to break, and his entire expression changed in pain.
"He Zikai, let me go." Cheng Nuo began to struggle and resist.
"Let you go? Then you can go find that man?" He Zikai asked, his deep eyes full of anger.
"..." Cheng Nuo suddenly became angry when he heard He Zikai's words.
I and Si Liheng are just ordinary friends. I have already explained it to him, but why does he still misunderstand me? Is it funny to think that I am funny?
"Yes, I will find a better man if I leave you." Cheng Nuo simply followed his wishes and broke the pot. Anyway, he had someone he loved in his heart. He no longer loved himself, so what should he say?
, will he still care?
The gloom on He Zikai's face deepened. He stared into Cheng Nuo's eyes and said word by word, "I won't give you this chance."
After a pause, He Zikai continued, "In this life, you can only have two choices, stay with me, or go to hell."
Looking for a better man? She doesn’t allow it, she is not qualified.
Cheng Nuo looked at this devilish man and felt extremely aggrieved.
He misunderstood himself, he fell in love with his secretary, and now, he wants to send himself to hell. Why would his beloved treat him like this? Why?
"He Zikai, let me go." Cheng Nuo finally lost control of his emotions and suddenly yelled, using all his strength to break free from He Zikai's hand.
At this time, Cheng Nuo finally broke away and took a few steps back. Only when he was leaning against the wall behind him did Cheng Nuo stop moving.
Looking at He Zikai, a string of tears instantly overflowed from his eyes.
At this moment, Cheng Nuo's emotions were completely out of his control. They all came from the heart. Following the ups and downs of his emotions, Cheng Nuo spoke out what he was holding back.
"He Zikai, do you know why I know that man? The first time I met him in the lounge bar, I didn't remember him. But that day at Jing Ye's engagement scene, it was you who abandoned me, didn't want me, and left me alone.
When we were at the venue, he kindly sent me back, so I remembered him and regarded him as one of my friends." (To be continued)
