Chapter 205 I am chasing her What is said is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Shen Manzhi teased her casually, while Qin Yanfeng looked at her without saying a word. She just wanted to cover up her previous behavior of leaving, so she didn't want to wait for his reply, so she pulled away the hand wrapped around her waist and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Qin Yanfeng suddenly spoke up after being silent. "Shen Manzhi." His voice was soft and low, but it was not the caution of the disadvantaged party in the relationship. He just spoke his pure heart in a soft voice. "I can't confirm yet whether you will return the same way you came." Shen Manzhi's eyes flashed slightly. "I didn't mean to follow you," he said, mocking himself as if nothing had happened. "I was afraid that you would be in danger, and that you would forget about me again after you left."
Qin Yanfeng could never tell clearly whether her answer was a false pandering or a genuine response. Shen Manzhi clapped his hand and said in a brisk tone, "Let's go." "no need." It's a bit strange. Shen Manzhi turned his head and said, "We have an appointment." Qin Yanfeng looked a little stunned when he saw the smile on her face. Qin Yanfeng couldn't figure it out because she didn't promise, and he couldn't bear her leaving without saying goodbye again. He raised his head, his expression instantly became respectful, and he made a gesture of invitation, "Ms. Shen, Mr. Qin, please come with me." Qin Yanfeng stepped over the threshold and looked at the manager in front of him. Qin Yanfeng looked at the manager's expression quite intriguingly, but without saying much, he followed him upstairs. He was obviously chasing her, but why was she taking the initiative? Qin Yanfeng got out of the car. Shen Manzhi closed the door and locked it. He walked ahead and was still talking on the phone. Shen Manzhi couldn't help but curl his lips. Why did it seem like she was bullying him? "okay, I get it." Shen Manzhi didn't go in and shook his phone at Qin Yanfeng, "I'll call you back." The manager walked around Shen Manzhi and smiled brighter at the old customers, "I wonder if you are coming here so late or are you in the private room reserved last time?" Shen Manzhi had already walked outside, his fingers curled up, and the warm softness seemed to have just left his arms. So what he wants, he will take the initiative to get it. Then he followed the manager in. Qin Yanfeng's eyes turned between the two of them, the manager who was just transferred here last quarter. "It turns out you are Mr. Qin's friend. I blame me for being blind. I will arrange the box you reserved last time..."
Qin Yanfeng blinked slowly, and when he turned his head, he saw that Shen Manzhi had gotten out of the car, put one hand on the car door, and leaned to the side to answer the phone. He was convinced. Qin Yanfeng withdrew his foot that was about to go in. Step forward and stand next to Shen Manzhi. The manager took the tablet, clicked a few times, and said with a smile, "Madam, the appointment number will be queued in half an hour. Do you want to wait a while or..." Shen Manzhi's wrist rested on his forearm, and the dark corridor was suitable for cultivating inner secrets. The manager's smile froze for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the two of them to be together. Seeing that she had no reaction, Qin Yanfeng sighed almost invisibly and said seriously. The manager was stunned for a moment, nodded and scrolled on the tablet, his fingertips pointing at the end of the reservation details column... The reserved private rooms are all in the best seats and are decorated in an antique style. Through the window, you can see the high-rise buildings across the street lit up with thousands of lights. He also vaguely heard what he said just now. There are many people on weekends, and reservations are usually made in a queue. The store will also reserve some private rooms for card members. Shen Manzhi hung up the call, raised his chin slightly towards him, and the last note of his voice gave off a cold flavor, "Shen Manzhi, the last number is 5200, please check my reservation." The hotel manager greeted him with a smile, "Ma'am, please wait a moment. It will take an hour to order..." Driving towards the city, passing Loulan Pavilion, Shen Manzhi swung to a stop on the side of the road, lifted his hair from his ears and unbuckled his seat belt, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." Unless...there is no room for turning back. "Ouch, Mr. Qin!" She looked at the man's slightly drooped peach blossom eyes. Underneath his usually calm and noble temperament, there was a fragile emotion called emotion. She turned around and added, "I'll be back soon, you order first." Qin Yanfeng's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. It seemed that he did not expect her to respond so easily, nor did he expect that she only responded to the last sentence. "Next time, I will stand there and wait for you to come back." Shen Manzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Just like she left half a year ago, leaving decisively, if he waited where he was, not to mention that she might not come back, such behavior would be really cowardly. "Mr. Qin, please take a look at the menu first." He took this order personally. Qin Yanfeng leaned on his seat and spread out the already familiar recipe book. He glanced at it twice and turned the page. "Do you know her?" The manager was confused by the man's sudden words. Later, he remembered that it was Ms. Shen he was asking. Mr. Qin is a close friend of the big boss. In other words, he cannot be offended just like the big boss.
He had a humble attitude and lowered his head slightly, "Sir, it's my humble opinion that you are laughing at me. This is really my first time meeting Ms. Shen. I didn't expect that she is a member of the Loulan Pavilion list, and she almost caused trouble for Mr. Qin's friends." The scenes are beautifully spoken, and all the sense of morality is directed towards oneself, with the main focus being to make people happy. After saying that, a chuckle was heard. The manager looked up. It was clear that Mr. Qin was the one sitting there, with a cold expression and a gentle laziness between his brows, but people could not help but fall into his web. I laughed because I got the answer I wanted, and also because of the phrase "friend". "We are not friends. She is the wife I am marrying, and I am chasing her." The manager's pupils widened, but he couldn't lose his composure. While straightening out the sentence, he was wondering if Mr. Qin forgot to add a conjunction in the sentence? He digested it silently for half a minute, and then he suddenly said, "It turns out to be Mrs. Qin." Qin Yanfeng was in a daze. It had been a long, long time since anyone had said "Mrs. Qin" in his ear. He chose three dishes and ordered a dessert. Shen Manzhi's phone call took a little long. Baihu arrived at the downstairs of Du Pingsheng's community. Just like they did, the delivery man delivered the food to his home and found that the door was ajar, and he didn't answer his phone calls or respond to calls. He looked in from the entrance and saw someone lying on the bed. Well-dressed man on the sofa. The alarm and ambulance arrived at almost the same time. The reason was that he took a few more insomnia pills, which caused him to fall into coma. Has been sent to hospital for treatment. The situation was not serious and there were no signs of poisoning, so they designed to reveal the truth by having food delivered by a delivery person. "Du has been alone all these years and has been unable to contact anyone close to him. Now that the police are dispatched, it will probably attract the attention of both parties tonight." Baihu stood in the corridor of the ward wearing a men's nurse uniform and told Shen Manzhi everything that happened. "If we don't intervene and use the other party's perfunctory arrangement of the suicide scene, even if we successfully blame Shen Duanwen in the end, it will cause the two parties to turn against each other. Now we have made the matter bigger and put it on the bright side. This is not for them. Same result?" "of course not." Shen Manzhi stood in the corner of the second-floor terrace, leaning against the carved fence, answering Bai Hu's doubts. "The secret about Du Pingsheng obviously involves these two parties. Shen Duanwen has been protecting Du Pingsheng for some reason, while the other party's real purpose is to silence him. He wants this secret to disappear forever. It is just a matter of convenience to blame Shen Duanwen." Bai Hu pondered for two seconds and said numbly, "I don't understand." "Think about it, isn't Du Pingsheng a time bomb to Shen Duanwen?" If Shen Duanwen is the old friend Du Pingsheng mentioned, he has been protecting him for more than ten years. He even has to keep abreast of external trends from time to time, such as the change of senior management in Huaicheng. If there is any slight disturbance, he must be vigilant. Now that someone has helped him "solve" this time bomb, even if he does feel guilty about Du Pingsheng or has been taken advantage of, isn't this a relief? As for the person who attacked Du Pingsheng, Shen Duanwen must know it well. If he accepts it, then Du Pingsheng will kill himself. If he wants to accuse, the final result will be that he is the murderer under the control of the other party. Unfortunately, Shen Manzhi broke this situation. She also wanted to know this secret. If Du Pingsheng suddenly disappears at this time, both parties will be caught off guard. It would be fine if the master carrying this secret dies without any evidence. Unfortunately, he just "disappears", which will make both parties suspicious and suspicious of each other, and finally reach a deadlock. .
Watching the nurse on duty come out of the ward, Bai Hu raised his hand and glanced at the monitor not far away. He adjusted the medical gloves on his hands, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved under the mask. "I understand, this trick is to lure the snake out of its hole. I will keep an eye on Shen Duanwen to see who he meets." Shen Manzhi hung up the phone, leaned against the railing with his arms folded, and pondered for a while. Suddenly he remembered that Qin Yanfeng was still waiting in the private room. Tsk, when I was alone before, I didn't need to consider others. Loulan Pavilion's dishes are not only exquisite, but also have a wide range of tastes from all over the world. Shen Manzhi doesn't come often, most of them are delivered to his door, so he accidentally ended up on the membership list. After glancing at the three dishes, it seemed that they all had flavors she liked. After all, Master Qin always ate lightly. Shen Manzhi sat down and spread out the napkin at hand, with a slight smile at the end of his eyes, "I invited you to dinner, why are you catering to my taste?" Qin Yanfeng put away the half-read food magazine and said, "This opportunity is too rare, so I don't want you to be dissatisfied." He already knew her taste. Although he didn't know why she invited him to dinner, he guessed that she was not full from the late night snack. So he couldn't really think that Shen Manzhi wanted to treat him to dinner. Shen Manzhi raised his eyes and saw that this man was like this most of the time. He said affectionate words and the elegance and nobility in his movements made his whole body covered with coldness and alienation. He didn't know whether what he said was true or false. . So sometimes, she simply doesn't respond. Thinking of this, Shen Manzhi looked at him with his chin propped up, his beautiful glass-like eyes breathtaking. "I have a question." "You said." "Do you know what it means to like the new and dislike the old?" Qin Yanfeng's originally relaxed expression slightly raised his eyebrows, "There's nothing new, so why talk about the old?" Shen Manzhi always had a smile on his lips, "At first it was because of the novelty, and then I became interested, so I showed my best side to show my emotions and gain the favor and favor of the other party. Once the novelty wore off, all that was left was boring. And behind this best side, there are disciplines, complaints, selfishness, conflicts and interests, or sensitive emotions that can cause quarrels over any trivial matter. It's normal to like the new and dislike the old. " As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and smiled, as if the last words were not meant for him, but for herself. Qin Yanfeng looked at her and heard the hidden meaning in her words, "I am not new to you." "Oh?" Shen Manzhi put his index finger on his temple, tilted his head and suppressed his smile, "What is that?" "The day I took you back to Qin's house for the first time, there were other guests at home. After dinner, I took you to the bedroom upstairs. In the room without the lights, you leaned against the sliding door of the balcony to drink water, and I read on the sofa. On New Year's Eve, you sat next to me and learned to make glutinous rice balls. You ate the nut filling and smiled and said you wanted to pass on good luck to me. And the day before the Lantern Festival performance, I dragged you and entangled you until the evening. You were lying on the rocking chair and reading the script. Although you were angry, you still allowed me to stay with you..." He saw Shen Manzhi frowning slightly, his eyes filled with deep tenderness. "When I was reflecting on whether I had a temporary novelty towards you, I thought of these scenes countless times. If I was rejected by you so many times just because of my novelty, how could I have been able to support myself until now."
Novelty is like a bubble that bursts when it encounters a sharp point, but attraction does not. Obviously after weighing the pros and cons, he felt it was impossible. He kept calm and still wanted to keep his love for himself.
