Get Married - Chap 24
The overcoat given by Shao Chengyun was worn by Xin Rong all the time. Xin Rong also tried to return the coat to him, but the man rubbed his head and was told, “Just wear it for you”. So Xin Rong didn’t take off the windbreaker until she entered the hotel room.
Many of Shao Chengyun’s actions seemed considerate, but in fact they didn’t cost much. Whether there is any sincerity in it, and how much sincerity there is, he himself cannot tell. After all, his emotional experience is much richer than that of Xin Rong, so it’s really no big deal to pet this little friend without distraction.
Perhaps in Shao Chengyun’s subconscious mind, he wanted to keep Xin Rong. It’s just that this idea is hidden very deep, he will not take the initiative to dig it out, and he will definitely not admit it.
But he knew very well what a child like Xin Rong lacked most when he didn’t even have any relatives.
——Lack of love, and lack of a complete family. As long as someone gives him a little warmth and kindness, he will always remember it and return it back multiply.
A capitalist like Shao Chengyun knows how to calculate investment and return.
The infatuation in Xin Rong’s eyes from time to time couldn’t be hidden. Shao Chengyun had already noticed it, but he kept pretending not to know.
But this is not enough, Shao Chengyun has always been the one who wants to gain absolute control.
To cultivate this kind of thing seems to be not so decent. In fact, everyone wants to have a satisfactory partner in their hearts, and likes that the other party changes according to their own will.
Xin Rong was still young, with a dazzling appearance, and his personality was also to Shao Chengyun’s liking. Even if Shao Chengyun won’t admit that he wants to keep him forever, he must admit that he is interested in him.
He also sometimes wants to ignore a certain desire in his heart, the desire to possess or control Xin Rong, but that kind of thing is fresh, and reason may not be able to suppress it.
The business trip to Germany this time was not short, so the two of them spent a lot of time together.
Xin Rong is a person who can endure loneliness, and knows how to arrange things for herself. In the first few days after arriving in Germany, Shao Chengyun often left early in the morning, leaving him alone in the hotel. Xin Rong knew that Shao Chengyun’s schedule was tight this time, and basically he would not take the initiative to contact him throughout the day.
He usually stays in the hotel for half a day, and for the rest of the day, he takes his mobile phone to navigate and goes out for a walk by himself.
The city of Hamburg has a lot of historical accumulation. The churches left over from the Baroque period are splendid and dignified. The pear-shaped dome reaches into the winter sky, which can take people’s sight and thoughts far away.
Wrapped in winter clothes and carrying a backpack, Xin Rong didn’t take any photos of tourists along the way, just walked street by street, intuitively feeling the scenery and culture of the city.
The local temperature in November is still within the acceptable range. Sometimes Xin Rong will walk for two or three hours until she receives a message from Shao Chengyun saying that she is going back to the hotel, and then rushes back.
Shao Chengyun wasn’t too worried about him, Xin Rong didn’t act recklessly, and his assistant He Xun would make phone calls from time to time under Shao Chengyun’s instruction to ask about his whereabouts. Every night when Shao Chengyun returned to the hotel, Xin Rong was waiting for him in the room.
On the fifth day of the negotiations, real progress was finally made. Another company withdrew from the bidding due to technical reasons. The terms of the maiden voyage offered by Shaw satisfied the German side, and it was basically a safe bet.
There are still some details to be discussed in the follow-up, but Shao Chengyun and his team have stabilized the negotiation process and are not in a hurry to finalize.
These Germans were very arrogant in their bones. Shao Chengyun had dealt with them a lot these years, and he knew that the more eager he was, the easier it would be for him to be manipulated. Moreover, this time it was a long-term cooperation with the German side, and what Shao wanted was an equal relationship. Shao Chengyun, who had come and gone this time, had already felt the needs of the other party, and he had the confidence to continue negotiating.
After wandering around outside for a few days, Shao Chengyun was already thinking about the children he left in the hotel.
He went back too late last night, Xin Rong had already fallen asleep. Shao Chengyun sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to flip his bangs covering his forehead, only to wake Xin Rong up. The boy stretched out his hand from under the quilt, grabbed Shao Chengyun’s hand with his warm fingers, and said to him in a somewhat misty voice, “…Are you back?”
Shao Chengyun also drank some wine at that time, seeing Xin Rong lying half awake on the bed in a white T-shirt, he couldn’t help but lifted the quilt, hugged the person directly on his lap and sat down, kissing him cheek, and asked him, “Baby, did you miss me?”
Xin Rong lowered her head, squinted her eyes and said, “Well, I miss you”, but put both hands on Shao Chengyun’s shoulder. The meaning was quite clear, Xin Rong didn’t want to do anything else, no one would think about that kind of thing when they were fast asleep and just woken up.
But Shao Chengyun wanted to, so he deliberately picked his sensitive places to stimulate him, and finally made it with him.
Afterwards, Xin Rong lay prone on the pillow, her shoulder blades undulating slightly, her hair covering her eyes, her lips were also a little red and swollen, showing a broken and fragile look that was rarely seen in normal times.
Shao Chengyun slowly kneaded his back, leaned down and kissed the back of his neck, and coaxed him to call him “baby”. Xin Rong responded and listened silently, her eyelashes were still a little wet, and she kept her eyes closed.
In fact, at this point, Shao Chengyun could not deny his selfishness.
He didn’t know why, but he had a strong impulse towards Xin Rong, and he enjoyed the unreserved collision and blending with him. Every time after finishing work, Shao Chengyun can completely relax, and it seems that all the work pressure accumulated during the day has been released by this.
No one had ever given him this feeling before.
It’s just that Xin Rong suffered a lot. After all, he had just experienced love affairs. Shao Chengyun’s physical fitness and time were all there, and he couldn’t bear to come like this every night. Afterwards, you need to apply medicine, and even lie down for half a day the next day.
Shao Chengyun also knew that he had overdone it, and wanted to make up for it. When he was working, he had nothing else to do, but whenever he had free time, he would think about Xin Rong.
The negotiation came to an end that day, and he called Xin Rong on the way back to Hamburg from the shipyard in Bremen.
Xin Rong was on his way to a toy store, and when the phone was connected, he said “Hello” still a little breathless.
Xin Rong wanted to buy some gifts for Tangtang to take back home, and found a toy store that was not far from the hotel but had a high rating on the Internet, and was almost at the door of the store.
Shao Chengyun heard the slightly noisy background sound from his side, and asked him, “Still outside?”
Xin Rong told her whereabouts, and said that she would be back to the hotel soon.
Shao Chengyun didn’t let him turn back, and told him, “You just wait in the shop.”
The man’s deep and magnetic voice came through the receiver, and Xin Rong gripped the phone tightly in the cold and windy street. It’s only been half a day since we saw each other, but as soon as he heard Shao Chengyun’s voice, he already started to miss him.
“I’ll be there in another 20 minutes.” Shao Chengyun ordered the driver to drive in the direction of the toy store, and asked Xin Rong to wait for him in the store.
After what he said, Xin Rong was absent-minded when choosing toys for Tangtang, and frequently turned her head to look in the direction of the door.
This toy store is located on a main road in the business district. The glass of the store facing the street is covered with glittering posters, as if adding a childlike filter to the world outside the window.
Twenty minutes later, a familiar black Mercedes slowly stopped in front of the store. A cold color suddenly inserted into the originally colorful window, and Xin Rong’s eyes lit up.
Shao Chengyun got out of the car, walked onto the sidewalk, and then opened the door and entered. The bell hanging at the door rang loudly.
Because he had just finished work, the man was dressed very formally, with a custom-made suit and a gray trench coat, making him look tall and stern, not like a customer who would appear in a weekend toy store.
The clerk came up to greet him, and he responded in German, then walked towards Xin Rong who was standing by the Barbie toy counter.
At first glance, this scene seems quite inconsistent. Two men with outstanding appearance are facing a whole cabinet of Barbie dolls, and they are both a little confused and a little bit helpless.
Shao Chengyun glanced at the blond and slim-waisted chicks in exquisite dresses, and said with a smile, “Buy a few more, so you don’t have to pick.”
Xin Rong tried his best to figure out the preferences of a four-year-old girl, and finally chose a Barbie in the shape of a princess, and added a set of makeup boxes and tea sets that matched the Barbie. They were all pink and dazzling. I’m a little embarrassed.
Shao Chengyun wanted to help him get one, but he blocked the man with his arm, not letting him touch it, and said, “Don’t take it, it doesn’t suit you.”
The gift was chosen quickly, and the two of them passed through other customers with children and went to the counter to check out.
When passing by a display stand with board games, Xin Rong couldn’t help taking a few extra glances. Shao Chengyun noticed his gaze, stretched his arms over his shoulders, and asked him, “Like board games? How many sets should you buy to play?”
Xin Rong shook her head, “No, it’s not fun to be alone.”
He just answered casually, without any hints. But when Shao Chengyun heard it, he still stopped, and immediately took him to the board game.
Xin Rong is a child with a good nature, and he is also smart. In addition, there is another point that Shao Chengyun admires very much. Generally, the age of early 20s is the most impetuous time, but Xin Rong has a sober sense of indifference in his bones, as if he has always known What you want, what you don’t care about.
After following Shao Chengyun’s side for so many days, he never asked for anything. It’s not pretending, it’s because he really didn’t have that kind of thought.
Last time he took a credit card to buy a wedding ring, and when he returned, he put the invoice from the jewelry store and the card on the bedside table in the master bedroom; before coming to Germany this time, He Xun took him to apply for a passport, and he wanted to use his Luckily, He Xun was clever enough to stop Xin Rong from exchanging it for euros. He didn’t forget to mention this matter to Shao Chengyun after returning to the company.
Shao Chengyun himself lives in an impure Vanity Fair, so he cherishes Xin Rong’s uncontaminated quality.
There is the softest part in people’s hearts. Shao Chengyun saw Xin Rong’s yearning expression when facing the game. At that moment, he wanted to satisfy Xin Rong. No matter if it was a board game or anything else, he wanted to give it to him. He just feels happy.
Speaking of board games, Shao Chengyun hasn’t touched it for almost ten years. When he first entered college, he also played with his classmates, and later he started to take over the Shao family business, so he no longer had that kind of leisurely caress.
He picked out some classic board games like Catan and UNO for Xin Rong, and also bought new styles that have been popular in the past two years, buying more than a dozen boxes at a time. Xin Rong refused to let him buy so many, Shao Chengyun directly asked the waiter to push a shopping cart and put them all in, and then said to Xin Rong, “Buy it back first, and I will play with you slowly when I have time.”
When paying the bill, Xin Rong stared at the stacked boxes that were almost half the height of a person, and didn’t say much, until he got into the car with Shao Chengyun, and then said “thank you” earnestly.
Shao Chengyun hugged him, rubbed his head, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes, and said, “I won’t go out to eat tonight, order some takeaway, let’s play all night.”
