MTL - Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter-Chapter 18 "gentle and sweet"
=====
It wasn't until the sun was high that Xia Xingchi opened his eyes in a daze.
He turned over and touched the side, his face was buried in the fragrant and soft fur—
Oh my god, Li Chengyuan turned into a cat? !
Oh no, it was summer who sneaked in while its owner was away and had fun on his bed. Seeing that Xia Xingchi had woken up, Dabai Tuanzi, who was lying beside him with wide eyes and quietly watching him, immediately got up and left.
The arrogant and nonchalant face, as if it wasn't the one who just peeked at it - it's exactly like someone.
Xia Xingchi slept very soundly that night, he didn't know how he got into Li Chengyuan's arms, and how he slept in his arms all night.
Thinking that I was not picked up by the vicious villain in the middle of the night and beaten violently, it must be because of the pillow that I hugged specially. With it, I would not hug people randomly. Maybe it didn't disturb Li Chengyuan's rest?
Little did he know that the pillow that was "in the way" had been thrown aside mercilessly long ago, and when Li Chengyuan got up in the morning, it was returned to him silently.
.
After that, nothing happened for a few days. As a hard-working laborer, Xia Xingchi rarely lived a leisurely life as a salted fish.
The only job left was to "warm the bed". By the way, Li Chengyuan drank medicine to nourish his body while trembling and pressing his head.
Although Xia Xingchi wished to fill his daily itinerary to make money, the company deliberately didn't allocate resources, so the 18th Line naturally couldn't expect anyone to come to him on his own initiative.
The reason why that **** Xia Yu let the original owner into his brokerage company was not only to set off the comparison group, but also to embezzle the original owner's various resources as the company's celebrity and first brother.
Xia Xingchi leaned on the sofa, carefully searching for profitable jobs that he could take the initiative to attack. But it seems that there is no reliable one, it is all daydreaming and fraud.
The screen flashed, and Lin Meng called.
Ever since she saw Li Chengyuan that night, the more she thought about and worried about Xia Xingchi's situation—
The world's limited edition of the latest expensive supercar, a young man who was astonishing but could not be found in the upper class, and her good brother's unspeakable expression at that time...
According to the various plots in sadomasochism, Lin Meng finally deduced a quite credible answer: that young handsome guy is the driver responsible for picking up Xia Xingchi!
The benefactor is someone else.
Other funders gave resources and contacts to the young artist, but her brother was stuck at home every day, and could only ask eagerly, "Sister Mengmeng, do I have no work arrangements yet?"
——That unreliable old **** allowed Xia Xingchi to be hidden by the company and did nothing. He was a prostitute with malicious intent!
The sadomasochistic love triangle between the silly, white and sweet boy, the wealthy old scumbag and the handsome driver immediately played out in Lin Meng's mind.
"Hello? Sister Mengmeng, good morning." Xia Xingchi said while holding a cat strip to lure Summer, and tried to pet the cat.
Lin Mengping often calls to see if he has been bullied.
But today she was uncharacteristically excited and said: "There is good news, Xingchi! You know the fashion dinner next week, you have been officially invited!"
Those who can receive invitations to the dinner party are all popular celebrities, as well as leaders from all walks of life, and many rich and famous people with status.
There were only three people in the entire brokerage company who got the invitation letter. Who would have thought that Xia Xingchi would suddenly become the fourth one after the invitation time had passed.
"Dinner? So we have a job!" Xia Xingchi immediately pricked up his ears when he heard that.
He knew about this. After all, Xia Yu had been "low-key" showing off for a long time. Yesterday he pretended to be modest and announced that he had borrowed a high-end suit from a top luxury brand. His proud look could pass through the screen.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Lin Meng change the subject: "But...we still need a high-end set that has not been resolved."
After all, the most important thing to compete on the red carpet is the high-definition brand grade, and the media from all walks of life can't wait to use a magnifying glass to see it, and then comment on it in a long article.
Xia Xingchi doesn't have any endorsements and is not well-known now, so naturally no brand provides him with suits for free, and the top luxury brands don't even rent him for money.
And even for a slightly inferior brand, it costs tens of thousands to rent one time. What's more difficult is that the company does not reimburse him, and if he wants to rent, he has to pay for it himself.
Xia Xingchi gasped after hearing the price—
It's so expensive, it's better for him to stop wearing it and run naked.
.
So for the next whole morning, he sat in the cloakroom, thinking hard about the cabinet of daily clothes that Li Chengyuan bought for him.
After much deliberation and no idea, Xia Xingchi sighed, and asked Lin Meng sadly like a frog:
"Sister Mengmeng, why don't we go and buy a suit for Xixi? I checked, and it's only 88 yuan, and it includes free shipping."
Lin Meng naturally knew that he was joking, but also knew that he was really helpless about the clothes.
She hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Actually, you...can you ask the benefactor?"
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but fill in the sadomasochism story again. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, imagining all kinds of painful "prices" that Xia Xingchi would pay for this.
Little did he know that Xia Xingchi was not poor now, and had an annual salary of tens of millions, the only reason he was struggling was the word "picking".
"Those big names are something ordinary people like us can't get even if we pay, but your benefactor will definitely get it—he will definitely not let you pay."
If you can drive a luxury car worth tens of millions, you won't be able to ask your lover for tens of thousands.
Xia Xingchi blinked, thinking that this makes sense, with Li Chengyuan's status, he can easily get any brand, and he probably won't be asked to pay.
But how do you say to him, "Although you give me a monthly salary of one million, I don't want to spend it, and I want to continue to squeeze your wool if you are stingy"?
Seeing Xia Xingchi's silence, Lin Meng thought that he was really stubborn at that kind of "price", so she had to persuade her distressedly:
"It's okay if you don't want to 'that', let's coax him in another way, and he may rent you the most expensive clothes when he is happy."
The two are actually not on the same channel at all, but they can communicate without barriers. Xia Xingchi only heard the second half of the sentence, and his eyes lit up, as if he saw the hope of saving money:
"What way to coax him? Sister Mengmeng, teach me!"
Lin Meng:?
Why didn't he rather die than surrender for his beloved driver? How terrible is his cruel benefactor that the child is so scared that he dare not resist?
"First of all, you have to be sweet. No one doesn't like to be praised. After talking sweetly, you can tactfully say what you want."
"Secondly, give him delicious food to show that you value him, and whoever eats delicious food will feel good. He will definitely respond to his requests when he is happy."
"Finally, physical contact can also shorten the distance between hearts. Think about it, even good buddies, the closer they are to each other, the stronger the relationship will be?"
Although Xia Xingchi is capable of decathlon at work, it is really difficult for him to make people happy. He has no parents, and he has been almost alone since he was a child. There is no one at home to coax.
When he was working outside, he hated Israel to serve people the most, and he would never coax guests flatteringly—but for some reason, coaxing Li Chengyuan gave him a feeling of willingness, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that what Lin Meng said was sound and well-founded, Xia Xingchi immediately believed in these "secrets" and regarded them as his standard.
Little did they know that Lin Meng was actually a single mother and child, and had no love experience, let alone a financial supporter. She only had the experience of reading countless goofy novels.
While on the phone, she quickly picked up the "The Overbearing Plutocrat's Contracted Little Wife" she was reading and quickly flipped through it.
Trying hard to find a "reliable" answer from it.
.
After getting the true biography of Manager Lin, Xia Xingchi did what he said, and worked hard in the kitchen for a while.
Immediately afterwards, various desserts were put on the table, reflecting the current afternoon tea time—According to Secretary Ye's tip-off, Li Chengyuan left very early for some reason today and will be home soon.
Time was running out, Xia Xingchi ran to the garden after preparing refreshments, and quickly destroyed a few of the freshest and most beautiful roses that bloomed, with versatile and skillful handling and flower arrangement.
Trying to fill up the sense of atmosphere, it seems that he is sincere enough.
Just as the last flower was inserted into the vase, the car engine sounded, followed by a beep from the electronic door lock.
It was Li Chengyuan who came back.
Xia Xingchi took a deep breath, and murmured: "Sweet talk, physical contact..."
Li Chengyuan opened the door, and saw at a glance that the villa was uncharacteristically quiet, not at all like raising a noisy little hedgehog who would never be idle.
He immediately frowned, and the panic and violence of "Xia Xingchi disappeared again" suddenly appeared. It seems that if you don't watch it for a while, people will evaporate in place.
As soon as he took a step out of the porch and wanted to find someone, he suddenly saw a milky white figure rushing towards him at a speed of almost 100 meters with incomparable agility!
Before Li Chengyuan could react, Xia Xingchi had already rushed in front of him in an instant, crashing into his arms like a small bowling ball.
It was too sudden. One second he was restraining the irritability of "the person disappeared", but the next second he was thrown into his arms, and he even staggered two steps because he was defenseless before he stood still.
Xia Xingchi raised his head, wanting to put his arms around Li Chengyuan's shoulders, but he was too tall, and this posture was very awkward, so he had to put his hands around his neck instead.
Xia Xingchi raised his head to look at him, and asked gently with curved eyebrows: "Chengyuan, are you tired from work today? I made you dessert, come on, open your mouth—"
Li Chengyuan: "...?"
Even though he was always moody and angry, he couldn't help frowning at this time, showing a puzzled and inexplicable expression.
Xia Xingchi squeezed the freshly baked salty cookies, firstly for the "sweetness" to make people happy, and more importantly, to take the opportunity to test whether Li Chengyuan's "White Moonlight" is gentle.
Obviously, as a stand-in, of course, the more Bai Yueguang behaves, the more satisfactory the service will be to the gold owner-there will be more cash for small money fans.
But although his tone was gentle, his behavior was quite hard to change. Li Chengyuan was hesitating, and he had already stuffed the cookie directly into the mouth of the benefactor very wildly.
Then the contrast was very different and he continued to ask gently: "Chengyuan, do you like it?"
Li Chengyuan: "..."
At this moment, Xia Xingchi's eyes shifted slightly to the side, and suddenly he realized that there were still five people standing outside the open gate behind Li Chengyuan.
Several people were dressed very formally, and they all stared at the scene in front of them in shock and dumbfounded.
I have never seen such a greasy couple, nor have I seen such a "gentle and sweet" young master with an inconsistent style.
Several pairs of eyes looked at each other, and the scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
This time it was Xia Xingchi's turn to fly over the ellipsis, and he quickly deflated like a balloon that was punctured, and Hun'er was already flying all over the sky like he was letting out his anger.
He pretended to be "gentle" until he felt nauseous and disgusting, but he didn't expect someone to watch the whole process?
The psychological construction he had done so hard and the thick skin he had put up with all his efforts collapsed in an instant, Xia Xingchi just wanted to shout "Damn!" and "Help!"
So much so that the hand that was holding Li Chengyuan's neck forgot to loosen, and instead hugged it even tighter. At the same time, I shrank my head and tried my best to hide in his arms, as if this was a crack in the ground, and I could hide by drilling hard.
Li Chengyuan was already uncomfortable because of the sudden initiative to throw himself into his arms, but this ambiguous movement made him suddenly stiff.
The tips of his ears were stained with a suspicious red cloud, which spread silently all the way to his neck.
After a long while, Xia Xingchi finally realized that the point was not to die in front of strangers, but that he hugged the big villain fiercely and pushed himself into his arms? !
How can there be such zero distance between the two on weekdays, except for "after falling asleep" that Xia Xingchi doesn't know, the only close distance in his eyes may be at the dinner table, and it is impossible to have physical contact with each other.
Even if Li Chengyuan hasn't shown his crazy side in the past few days, he can't forget that he is still a cruel and insane boss.
Xia Xingchi suddenly had a creepy feeling of forcibly hugging the big white tiger, fearing that his head would be bitten off in the next second, he quickly let go and moved away from Li Chengyuan.
When he looked up, he saw that the cruel villain was still holding half a cute bear's head cookie in his lips, which he had just stuffed.
Xia Xingchi: "..."
I am dead, so burn the paper if something happens.
If there was anything that made Xia Xingchi a little sad frog, it was that he found that those strangers were carrying a very shiny and beautiful white suit.
.
After spending a long time, I didn't expect it to be superfluous. Li Chengyuan happened to have someone come to customize a suit for him today.
Maybe it was because he learned about the fashion dinner very quickly, or maybe it was the invitation letter he instructed the organizer of the dinner to send out.
Surrounded by everyone trying on clothes, Xia Xingchi vaguely felt that the logo looked familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this was actually the super luxury brand that Xia Yu proudly flaunted!
Judging by Xia Yu's shy look and fans' praise in the comment area, this brand should be the "Flower of Gaoling" that is quite difficult to get.
As a result, the service at the moment is so enthusiastic and well-planned, a designer, three assistants, and a very sweet account manager, it is said that it is a special treatment for a few supreme VIPs.
The manager is indeed eloquent, and when he opened his mouth, he was full of hype and praise:
"Master Xia is so pretty, he really looks good in anything!"
"Your body proportions are really great, with long legs and a thin waist, this suit is only suitable for you!"
"If this is a stand on the red carpet, it will definitely be the best!"
This sounded like a compliment to Xia Xingchi, but in fact it seemed to be a compliment to Li Chengyuan who was sitting beside him. While speaking, the man carefully watched Li Chengyuan's expression changes.
Xia Xingchi shook his head, thinking that it would be useless for you to praise him.
He is so difficult to coax, whether it is physical contact or sweet words, I have tried so hard and made such a big embarrassment, but he still has no expression.
Who knew that just as he was thinking, a faint smile flashed across someone's expression after tasting the tea in front of him—
The so-called "difficult to coax" is just that after discovering that Xia Xingchi took care to make the tea the salty taste he likes, he was quite satisfied.
It's a pity that a few people don't know the truth:
The account manager thought that praising Young Master Xia really made Mr. Li happy, but Xia Xingchi thought that Lin Meng's "secret book" really worked, or his Bai Yueguang was really gentle and virtuous?
"Mr. Xia, come and try out the detailed dimensions, so I can cut and modify it." Different from the manager's hospitality, this designer's attitude is neither humble nor overbearing.
Xia Xingchi knew that he had quite a status and reputation in the industry, even if he didn't know much about the fashion industry, he had heard of him.
So how much does it cost to rent such a suit?
Xia Xingchi tilted his head, carefully recalling the hundreds of thousands of rental fees quoted by this big brand, but suddenly realized that the designer was talking about "cutting and modifying".
This means that Li Chengyuan didn't rent clothes for him, but bought them directly? !
Xia Xingchi was shocked for a moment, and realized that he was wearing a suite that might cost several million yuan. He couldn't help but dared not move, and turned his head stiffly to look at Li Chengyuan.
Li Chengyuan remained expressionless, sitting silently drinking tea and eating snacks.
Xia Xingchi was suddenly a little flattered and even a little embarrassed in the afternoon of hasty preparations.
He thought hard for a while, and finally decided to try to compensate Li Chengyuan with something... such as being more dedicated and quietly acting as a "sweet" double?
.
The account manager has been flattering and chatting nonchalantly for two hours, and Xia Xingchi finally understands why "Supreme VIP" has this service.
It is said that because top designers are very arrogant, it is difficult to please clients courteously. When meeting a bigwig like Li Chengyuan, someone has to support him.
But according to Xia Xingchi, this person is here to promote.
After the other party talked for a long time, he finally got to the point: "Mr. Li, this suit is not only our latest style, but also a couple's style in one black and one white!"
"Should you also accompany Master Xia to the fashion dinner this year?"
"Do you want to consider us in your suit? This couple's style—"
Li Chengyuan's expressionless face suddenly darkened.
The manager was taken aback when he saw this, so he had to shut up urgently and dare not speak again, confused as to which sentence he said was wrong.
While Xia Xingchi was researching how this suit was worth millions, he guessed the problem for him:
Hehe, I didn't expect that the two of us actually agreed to get married without affection, right?
You said that the big boss wanted to accompany me to the dinner party, are you flattering me too much or looking down on him?
Besides, he has a low-key and cold personality, how could he have participated in such a thing?
The account manager hesitated for a while, and finally had to attribute it to Li Chengyuan's disdain for the quality of his brand.
Although this is already the most luxurious brand and is highly respected by the rich and entertainers, it is because what the stars need is a big name that is familiar to the general public to gain face.
However, with Li Chengyuan's identity, he usually chooses a legendary brand that does not face the market, and the public has never even heard of it, but only customizes ready-to-wear for a small number of top people in the world.
So if he could wear their clothes publicly once, it would definitely not only be worth millions of sales, but also an honor and upgrade.
Li Chengyuan pursed his lips, suddenly exposed by this short-sighted person about going to the dinner party, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, but also a little subtle.
So he looked sideways calmly, from the fitting mirror to Xia Xingchi whose back was facing him.
In the end, Xia Xingchi acted as if he hadn't heard it. He didn't care about the whereabouts of his "fiancé", let alone whether he was wearing couple clothes, but only concentrated on studying the button material on the sky-high suit.
So this embarrassment turned into displeasure and annoyance.
Li Chengyuan's face was gloomy, and finally reached the result that only the account manager dared not speak anymore.
