112. As long as you are willing to take the last step
Chen Dongcheng is an idler. He drinks a cup of coffee in the office and squints on the recliner for a while, closing his eyes to rest his mind.
The afternoon sun was as warm as a mother's caress, and Chen Dongcheng fell asleep unconsciously.
When I opened my eyes again and looked at my watch, it was almost six o'clock.
"Why didn't you call me?"
Chen Dongcheng knew without thinking that Zhuang Manting must be reluctant to let go, so he stood up and stretched.
Zhuang Manting also packed her things, holding a small handbag, and came over to hold Chen Dongcheng's arm.
Chen Dongcheng raised his eyebrows in surprise. Did he put on makeup while he was asleep just now?
Zhuang Manting was dressed very beautifully, wearing a small black suit, and the collar of the lady's shirt was slightly open.
Underneath the slender willow waist are two slender, straight legs, highlighted by black trousers. On her feet are a pair of black high heels.
Very few people would dare to wear a black outfit.
It just so happens that Zhuang Manting has been in charge of the company during this period, so she has naturally developed a domineering attitude and can hold on to this style of clothes.
Her silky black hair hangs gracefully behind her back, and her every frown and smile show off the charm of a mature lady.
"It's getting late, let's go."
Zhuang Manting looked at Chen Dongcheng's fiery gaze and ducked a little.
"Well, okay."
Chen Dongcheng also came back to his senses, smiled and stretched out his hand, and Zhuang Manting took her knowing little hand.
At this point, the company still has many employees working overtime.
With the stimulation of high year-end bonuses, employees are willing to risk their lives to earn more money.
The higher the company's valuation, the better their initial employees will naturally be.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhuang."
Employees greeted me all the way, and Chen Dongcheng responded with a generous smile.
Chen Dongcheng had no intention of hiding his relationship with Zhuang Manting.
This can also be regarded as a kind of deterrent, strengthening Zhuang Manting's control over the company.
The general manager may not be as intimidating to the employees as the boss's woman.
After thinking about the place for dinner, Xie Jingyu decided to order Yue Jing Steak House.
There were not so many good restaurants in 2013, and the quality of several western restaurants today is about the same.
Some environments are not as good as Yue Jing Steakhouse.
The private room was reserved. Chen Dongcheng reported his mobile phone number and was led in by the waiter.
When he came to the door, Chen Dongcheng winked at the waiter, and the waiter closed the door knowingly.
"Okay, close your eyes now."
Zhuang Manting smiled and obeyed, closing her eyes.
But her hands couldn't help but hold Chen Dongcheng tightly, for fear that Chen Dongcheng would leave her at the door.
Her subconscious behavior exposed her inner dependence on Chen Dongcheng.
"I'll ask you to open your eyes later, then open them again."
"Um."
Chen Dongcheng walked for a while, then turned around and said with a smile: "You can open it now."
The lights in the private room were a little dim. When Zhuang Manting opened her eyes, she saw two neat rows of candles placed on the floor of the private room, forming a path.
At the end of the candle, thousands of blue beauties surrounded a huge heart-shaped pattern.
The entire private room was decorated by Xie Jingyu himself, and a florist was hired to carefully design it.
The romantic feeling created can surprise every girl.
Chen Dongcheng stood opposite Zhuang Manting, holding a watch box in his hand, motioning for Zhuang Manting to come over.
Zhuang Manting looked at the dimly lit candles burning in front of her eyes, but also with extra firmness, as well as the flowers on the ground and the hearts surrounded by the blue enchantress.
This was the first time in her life that she had been cared for so carefully, and a trickle of warmth slowly flowed into her heart.
"Today is your birthday. I regret not being able to spend the past years with you. In the days to come, I hope I can always protect you."
Chen Dongcheng opened the watch box and revealed the watch inside.
"This Lover's Bridge symbolizes the love between us. I am willing to take ninety-nine steps, as long as you are willing to take the last step."
Zhuang Manting could no longer control her inner emotions and threw herself into Chen Dongcheng's arms.
After crying for a few minutes, Zhuang Manting's eye makeup was all stained. She burst into tears and said with a smile, "It's all you who stained my makeup."
"The factory number of this watch happens to be 1101, which is quite meaningful."
Chen Dongcheng took out his watch and put it on Zhuang Manting's wrist.
The white strap is fashionable and beautiful, and the two little figures on the watch make Zhuang Manting fall in love with it.
Especially what Chen Dongcheng said just now, "I am willing to take ninety-nine steps, as long as you are willing to take the last step."
Zhuang Manting realized that at that moment, she was really willing to marry this man at all costs.
"Okay, do you want to take a photo? We have to go somewhere else after dinner."
"Of course I do. Don't spend so much money next time."
Zhuang Manting knew tens of thousands just by looking at the layout.
"Then I'll turn on the light for you."
Chen Dongcheng walked to the door, turned on the light, and gave instructions to Sophia, the suite's personal attendant waiting outside.
Zhuang Manting rarely takes photos, but it was obviously different today.
When the man you love confesses your love, you still use this romantic way.
No matter how ambitious a woman is, she will be completely moved.
After filming for a while, the two of them took their seats.
The dining table is also very stylish, with rose petals scattered on the table and candles burning slowly.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see how the entire Peng City is changing with each passing day.
Chen Dongcheng is a die-hard fan of Western food, especially tomahawk steak, which he never gets tired of eating.
There must have been a fierce battle in the evening. Chen Dongcheng ate beef to conserve energy.
Dinner is over and the scene continues.
Zhuang Manting sat in the car and kept playing with her watch.
It wasn't until the Lamborghini parked in Garden City Phase 1 that I realized what was going on.
Zhuang Manting is familiar with every plant and tree in the community.
If I hadn't met Chen Dongcheng, I might have lived there for many more years.
1201.
Zhuang Manting looked at the house number and felt inexplicably nervous.
"Why don't we go in? It might have been rented out."
Zhuang Manting said hesitantly, but she still wanted to go in and take a look.
"Don't worry."
Chen Dongcheng took out the key and opened the door directly.
"Where did you get the key?"
Zhuang Manting looked puzzled and was pushed in gently by Chen Dongcheng, then closed the door behind her.
The environment inside the house looked familiar to Zhuang Manting.
Nothing about the furniture has been changed, but the bed and sofa in the bedroom have been replaced with new ones.
"You're not going to rent this house, are you?"
"It's not renting, it's buying."
Zhuang Manting was stunned, pointed at the house and said, "Why did you buy it?"
"People are not grass and trees. You have lived here for ten years and you have never thought of buying it?"
Zhuang Manting sighed and said: "What's the use? My salary can't keep up with the house price, and my family still has expenses."
"This is incredible. I heard that your parents are in poor health. If you buy this house, you can take them over. I will be responsible for arranging your sister's school."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and put the key into Zhuang Manting's palm: "You are the mistress of this house now."
"you……"
Zhuang Manting's voice was choked with sobs: "You don't have to be so nice to me."
Zhuang Manting has a rough estimate of the price of this house, which will not be less than two million.
Although the price of the watch is not clear, given the design of the Lover's Bridge, the price is not too low.
"As long as you are happy, it doesn't matter."
Chen Dongcheng did not deny that he was initially interested in Zhuang Manting because of sex.
In other words, when men and women first look at someone, they don’t always look at their appearance and figure.
If a woman is ugly, some men will chase her.
But Zhuang Manting's character made Chen Dongcheng like her even more.
She never complains, is gentle and considerate, works hard, and doesn't want to live up to her own expectations.
It is no exaggeration to say that if I could have met such a wonderful woman before I was reborn.
Chen Dongcheng felt that if he had a woman outside, he should commit suicide by himself.
Of course now...
Ahem, I don't have to do that in the womb.
"We're not going back tonight, are we?"
Zhuang Manting suddenly said.
Originally, Chen Dongcheng had no intention of going back. He had prepared so much today just for this moment tonight.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Chen Dongcheng finally didn't have to be sneaky this time. He still looked calm on the outside, but he was very anxious in his heart.
"I'm going to take a shower first, I'm a little tired."
"Wash together, don't waste time. It's not easy to get the chance to be alone together."
Chen Dongcheng shamelessly followed in.
Zhuang Manting first carefully took off her watch.
He was also afraid of damaging the high-end clothes he bought, so he took them off very slowly, which made Chen Dongcheng anxious.
"I'll help you."
…
Mangrove West Bank.
Song Meng was holding a cushion in the living room, watching TV absentmindedly, and kept looking at the time.
"Huh, we must be together at this point. I don't know which hotel we are in."
Chen Dongcheng's mobile phone number had already been entered. The moment he dialed it, Song Meng hesitated.
"Forget it, it's not easy for Sister Manting to meet a man who truly treats her, even though he is a scumbag."
Song Meng found a reason by herself, but couldn't help crying.
"Asshole, you damn scumbag, why don't you scumbag me first."
…
After working too hard last night, Chen Dongcheng felt a little pain in his waist when he woke up.
I tried to increase my physical fitness, and sure enough, the pain in my waist disappeared a lot, and even my energy recovered.
The day's plan begins in the morning, and morning exercise is inevitable.
When Zhuang Manting woke up, she pretended to be asleep, trying to find a reason to go to the company first and avoid Chen Dongcheng.
As a result, Chen Dongcheng took him to morning exercises again. After the two of them finished making trouble, it was almost noon.
The ingredients in the refrigerator were ready. Chen Dongcheng asked Zhuang Manting to wash up first, intending to show Zhuang Manting his skills.
When Zhuang Manting finished her bath, changed into her nightgown and walked out, she found that four dishes and one soup were already placed on the dining table in the living room.
Looking at the exquisite and attractive dishes with rich fragrance, Zhuang Manting couldn't believe that they were cooked by Chen Dongcheng.
"Come here and try it."
Chen Dongcheng served a bowl of soup to Zhuang Manting: "This is five-finger peach chicken soup. It is a classic dish in Cantonese cuisine. It is very nourishing."
Zhuang Manting came over and sat next to Chen Dongcheng.
Watching Chen Dongcheng gently blowing the chicken soup, he waited until it cooled down before bringing it to his mouth.
Zhuang Manting took a sip happily and felt amazing in her mouth. Her cooking skills were far superior to her own.
"When I went to Shanghai, the Cantonese chef there taught me a lot of techniques. I plan to cook them for you when I get back."
Chen Dongcheng said he disagreed, but what Zhuang Manting thought was that Chen Dongcheng must have studied hard.
Otherwise, how could my cooking skills improve so quickly?
In this regard, Chen Dongcheng has nothing to say. He can't just say that he cheated.
But thinking about that girl Song Meng, Chen Dongcheng thought about going back to coax that girl later.
Otherwise, after a long time, problems will definitely arise.
Chen Dongcheng also did not want to cause a rift in the relationship between Song Meng and Zhuang Manting because of him.
How could the blessing of being together be so good? Chen Dongcheng understood it from the beginning.
However, whether it is Song Meng or Zhuang Manting.
It is impossible for Chen Dongcheng to give up any of them.
That's what scumbags are like, knowing that their behavior is wrong.
