Chapter 77 Charity Dinner
The cell phone on the floor rang and stopped, and finally it became quiet in the room.
……
After a long time.
"Hey, I'm sorry, my phone was muted just now and I didn't hear you. What's the matter?"
Li Zhaoning's clear and gentle voice came: "I don't have anything else to do. I just wanted to ask if you have time on Saturday and would like to invite you to an event?"
The hands on her waist suddenly tightened. Liang Jingwan raised her eyes and glared at the man in front of her. Before she could speak, Li Zhaoning added: "It's just a charity dinner."
Charity dinner, Saturday, Lee?
Liang Jingwan almost immediately thought of the invitation she saw at Yulong Bay in the evening. She was about to refuse, but Li Zhaoning said again: "You have known me for so long, you won't reject me so cruelly."
What he said was a joke, but Liang Jingwan was too embarrassed to speak, so she had to agree.
"I will send the invitation to Bodhi Bay tomorrow afternoon, or..."
"How about you send it to the law firm by express delivery?" Liang Jingwan said cautiously.
Li Zhaoning was silent for a moment: "...I will send it to the law firm tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay."
Liang Jingwan hung up the phone, turned over, and moved to the bed.
A man's deep voice came from behind: "Move any further and I won't have a quilt."
Liang Jingwan stopped moving and turned her head to look. Indeed, her hand was tugging on the edge of the thin quilt, and there was a piece of quilt underneath her body. On the other hand, half of Gu Zhengchen's body was exposed.
"If you don't have a quilt, just use a quilt. No matter how angry you are, it won't cool you down." After saying that, Liang Jingwan mercilessly wrapped the quilt around her again, completely removing the thin quilt from Gu Zhengchen's body.
After a while, his elbow touched the man's body, and warmth came from his back: "The lowest temperature tonight is 13℃."
Liang Jingwan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Maybe I'll catch a cold tomorrow."
"None of my business."
"You don't feel bad?"
Liang Jingwan turned around and looked directly at Gu Zhengchen: "Why should I..." Heartbroken.
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Zhengchen had already put his arm around her waist and lowered his head.
At the end of the kiss, Liang Jingwan grunted a few times in protest.
Gu Zhengchen withdrew slightly and spoke slowly: "I haven't punished you for not paying attention to your work, but you've already lost your temper?"
"Why am I not paying attention?" Liang Jingwan asked in retort, eyes widening: "And what he called was business."
"Isn't what I'm doing serious business?" Gu Zhengchen said confidently.
Liang Jingwan choked at the words and opened her mouth slightly.
"When I was doing errands, I was still thinking about the phone and was not paying attention. Should I be punished?" His hand slipped through the gap in his pajamas.
There was a troublesome hand in her pajamas. Liang Jingwan slapped Gu Zhengchen's chest with a light palm, and said coquettishly: "Dirty."
A bit angry.
……
The next afternoon.
When Li Zhaoning came to deliver the invitation, Liang Jingwan had just finished talking to the client on the phone and looked down at her watch. It was almost six o'clock and she was about to go home. She was wondering why Li Zhaoning hadn't come yet. When she walked to the front desk, she saw Li Zhaoning waiting for her at the door.
"Why don't you text me?"
Li Zhaoning handed over the invitation in his hand: "It's time to get off work anyway, so it's okay to wait a little longer."
Liang Jingwan reached out to take it, and glanced at it to confirm that it was a charity dinner hosted by the Li family. Her eyes fell on Li Zhaoning with a slightly complicated look.
When she was at the University of Chicago, she knew that Li Zhaoning had a good family background, but she didn't expect that he was from the Li family.
"So you are the one in the legend..." Li Zhaoning was not as hesitant as she was. Seeing that Liang Jingwan was speechless, he opened the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Yes."
“Doesn’t it feel amazing?”
Liang Jingwan nodded unconsciously: "I didn't expect you to be Li San. I never heard you mention it when I was at Chicago University."
The surname Li was common, and if Li Zhaoning didn't mention it, he wouldn't be able to connect him with the Li family.
Li Zhaoning raised his eyebrows slightly: "I haven't seen you say that you are the eldest lady of Liang's Jewelry?"
The two looked at each other and smiled before parting at the door of the building.
Liang Jingwan drove to Yulong Bay.
Liang Mingyuan had returned home from get off work and was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, peeling cashew nuts and throwing them into his mouth while staring straight at the variety show on TV.
"You still know about coming back?"
Liang Jingwan put the car keys on the coffee table and used her hands to twist Liang Mingyuan's ears: "Is this the way you talk to your sister?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
Liang Jingwan let go and sat next to Liang Mingyuan: "Since you are my younger brother, I decided to go to the charity dinner with you on Saturday."
Liang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said in a high voice: "Really?"
Liang Jingwan smiled and nodded, and Liang Mingyuan said, "My sister is still kind to me."
By the way, he "tributed" the cashew nuts already peeled in his hand to Liang Jingwan.
But then I heard Liang Jingwan ask: "Am I number one in your heart?"
Liang Mingyuan stopped and glanced at Liang Jingwan hesitantly: "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Otherwise?" Liang Jingwan asked with a smile on her face.
"You are second, Gu Zhengchen is first." Liang Mingyuan is an honest person.
"You'd better go alone." Liang Jingwan's fake smile froze on her face, she flattened the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes.
"No, you and he are tied for first place at this stage. If you treat me better in the future, you will completely surpass him. Then I will announce to the whole world that you are the NO in my heart. 1. ”
Liang Jingwan: "..."
That night, Liang Jingwan complained to Gu Zhengchen.
She grabbed the buttons on Gu Zhengchen's pajamas, and after finishing speaking, she pursed her lips.
Gu Zhengchen, on the other hand, recalled Liang Mingyuan's sweaty palms at the old Liang's birthday party and smiled slightly.
"I'm a little...jealous of you." Liang Jingwan's voice was a little melancholy.
Gu Zhengchen buried his head in her hair and kissed her gently, "Didn't you say you love me very much yesterday?"
……
Saturday, charity dinner.
Liang Jingwan and Liang Mingyuan sat side by side on the stools, looking at Mr. Li and Li Zhaoning not far away. Mr. Li took Li Zhaoning to greet the guests. Li Zhaoning's expression was indifferent and he could only respond politely.
Liang Jingwan glanced at the audience boredly and found Li Rujin. Her belly was even bigger than the last time they met. She put one hand on her belly and the other on her lower back. She looked ugly, and Li Rujin beside her Min and Li Rulin talked to the people in front of them with smiles on their faces.
Liang Jingwan's eyes flashed, and Liang Mingyuan's voice came to her ears: "Sister, I got you some food."
The charity dinner was in the form of a buffet, with many desserts, fruits, and drinks on a long table.
There were cakes and fruits on the plate. Liang Jingwan's attention was attracted and she ignored Li Rujin.
After she finished the game, she looked up again. It was still the same scene as before, except that Li Rujin was sweating profusely.
Liang Jingwan looked around and didn't find Mr. Shen. After some hesitation, she finally stood up,
