Chapter 487 Xia Jinghao is back, I'll leave.
Berlin, Germany
It was 10:28 PM in Germany, which was morning in Ancheng. In his hotel room, Xia Jinghao glanced at his phone screen and prepared to get up and go downstairs to have dinner with Gu Tingchen and Nan Zeyu at the Western restaurant.
The next second, the phone screen lit up. He stood straight in front of the bed, one hand wrapped around his tie, the other hand tightening the tie knot. His long, pale fingers gently pushed up to the collar of his collar, and the phone suddenly rang.
The phone vibrated. Xia Jinghao's fingers, which were tying his tie, paused. He glanced down at the phone screen, his fox-like eyes widening slightly. He quickly loosened his tie, bent down, and picked up the phone. Seeing the caller ID showed his assistant, Chi Che, his cold, fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. His assistant? His assistant?
He remembered. During his stay in Berlin, he kept forgetting things. Now that he remembered, he had forgotten about Chi Che. Xia Jinghao swiped his phone screen with his right hand, answered the call, and held it to his ear. His right hand deftly picked up the half-tied bow tie. Chi Che's miserable voice came from the other end of the phone: "President, your phone finally has power! I'm in Switzerland right now. Where are you?"
Xia Jinghao's fox-like eyes narrowed, his thick, handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his left fingers, as if playing the piano, threaded through the tie knot, then bypassed the knot and pushed the tie up to his collar. His petal-like lips parted slightly, and he said in a low voice: "In Berlin, at the hotel on the Rhine River."
Chi Che sighed heavily, looked up at the sky and said in a sad voice: "I'm in a very small hotel, the food is not good, I didn't eat yesterday, I'm starving to death. President Xia, how could you forget me? I tried to call your cell phone several times but couldn't get through. I finally got through today."
Xia Jinghao straightened his tie, pulled his blue striped trousers up to his waist with a deft tug, turned around, his long arm hanging down, holding his phone in his right hand. He said helplessly, "Come to the hotel in Berlin. Call me when you get there. Gu Tingchen and Nan Zeyu are both there. I'll tell you the hotel name, remember it!"
A moment later, Xia Jing hung up the phone. Holding his phone, he strode to the door, opened it, and revealed himself in a custom-made white and blue suit. He wore a blue and white suit jacket over a crisp white cotton shirt, with an ice-blue suit coat on top and blue and white striped trousers on the bottom. The shirt was perfectly fitted, showcasing his chest and waistline to the fullest.
Xia Jinghao stepped out of the room and didn't see Gu Tingchen and Nan Zeyu. His fox-like eyes turned cold. Where did those two go again? The next second, his phone screen lit up. Xia Jinghao picked up his phone. It was a call from Gu Tingchen. He answered the phone. Gu Tingchen was picking out Western food at the buffet table in the Western restaurant. He placed his plate on the buffet table.
Gu Tingchen glanced at the incomprehensible German food and said with a slight movement of his thin lips, "Come down. Zeyu and I are in the buffet restaurant on the third floor. You're too busy, we'll just come down." These words infuriated Xia Jinghao. His muscular chest heaved slightly, and he said with a stern face, "You two... wait, I'm coming right now."
Nan Zeyu glanced at Gu Tingchen, his dark eyes cold and deep, and said softly, "You spoke to Brother Jinghao like that again, Achen. It's alright if we wait for him. He's been adjusting himself these past few days. Don't say anything that might upset him."
Gu Tingchen turned his eyes slightly and met Nan Zeyu's cold black eyes. His dark eyes were full of surprise, and he sighed helplessly, "Really? No, I know, I know. Zeyu, hey, look at this cheese-baked lobster, save it for Brother Jinghao, I'll get him a big one."
Nan Zeyu followed his gaze and saw a lobster baked with cheese on the side of the buffet table. The cheese was creamy and the lobster was sprinkled with mint leaves. He turned his dark eyes to look at Gu Tingchen, his eyebrows slightly raised, and said indifferently: "Get a few big ones for Brother Jinghao. It doesn't matter whether I eat them or not."
Gu Tingchen was taken aback. He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, Zeyu, I'll get some big lobsters for Brother Jinghao." After saying that, Gu Tingchen walked to the side with his long legs, picked up several large lobsters from the plate with the tongs, placed them on a plate, and then his dark eyes swept over the other buffet tables before he moved forward again.
During dinner, Xia Jinghao looked at Nan Zeyu and Gu Tingchen. His fox-like eyes were calm, but slightly upturned, they held a captivating charm. His eyelashes were long, distinct, and curled. He blinked his fox-like eyes and said with a smile, "Chi Che called me and asked me to pick him up. He's in Switzerland, and I'm in Berlin. How am I supposed to pick him up? So I asked him to come to Berlin. You two bring him up."
Nan Zeyu paused in cutting the lamb chops. He looked up, his dark eyes fixed on Xia Jinghao. His gaze was cold, and he pursed his thin lips, saying, "No problem, Brother Jinghao, hurry up and eat your big lobster. I had Ah Chen get you a large one."
Xia Jinghao lowered his fox-like eyes and glanced at the plate. Several large lobsters were piled on his plate. He looked up at Nan Zeyu with a deep gaze and said with a gentle smile, "I understand your kindness. I'll eat it."
Gu Tingchen ate the delicious buffet Western food the whole time without even raising his head. Xia Jinghao also stopped talking, lowered his head, took a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand, and cut open the lobster on the plate. The lobster meat was tender, plump and juicy, and covered with creamy cheese.
Chi Che quickly packed his suitcase and left the hotel room. He pulled his suitcase to the elevator. What a terrible hotel! He could hear strange noises while sleeping at night, right next to the room. He couldn't sleep all night. The elevator doors opened, and Chi Che pulled his suitcase into the elevator.
Chi Che checked out of the hotel and strode out. He walked to the intersection, his amber eyes scanning the passing vehicles. This was Switzerland; how was he going to get to Berlin? He frowned helplessly. A dark-colored van pulled up from the intersection to his right, and Chi Che pulled his suitcase across.
The van stopped in front of him, the window rolled down, and an elderly German man with slightly graying hair, fair skin, and blue eyes looked at Chi Che and smiled gently: "Hello, sir, is there anything I can help you with? Perhaps I can assist you?"
Chi Che was taken aback, his eyes widened, and suddenly he raised his hand and slapped his head. He stepped forward and awkwardly spoke in Chinese: "Hello, I don't speak German. I want to ask how to get from Switzerland to Berlin? I need to see my CEO, he's in Berlin."
The van driver looked at Chi Che, his blue eyes flickering slightly as he gazed at him gently. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence, my van can go to Berlin, but the fare might be a bit expensive. Do you mind?" The van driver was speaking German, which Chi Che didn't understand at all. He hung his head dejectedly, looking like he was about to cry, and said, "Please don't speak German, I don't understand it!"
Seeing this, the van driver frowned, tilted his head in confusion and looked at Chi Che. He smiled helplessly, then remained silent for a moment. He turned on his phone, found a translation app, and opened it. Chi Che heard the translation app's voice.
Chi Che leaned his head into the van. The driver looked up, stared at Chi Che, and said in broken Chinese, "I can help you get to Berlin. Do you need it?" Chi Che stared intently at the driver, nodding excitedly and saying, "Yes, yes, yes! I need it! I need to get to Berlin!"
Anseong Nan Family Mansion-
After dinner, as Shen Jiayi was eating her pregnancy meal, she thought of what Li Cheyan had said to her earlier that day. She stood up, put her right hand on her waist, turned to look at Song Yuyan, and said calmly, "Yan Yan, I'm finished eating. I'm going upstairs now."
Song Yuyan was eating a delicious stewed chicken with mushrooms. She bit into the tender, boneless chicken and nodded subconsciously. Shen Jiayi chuckled indulgently. She turned around, took a few long, light steps and left. After leaving the restaurant, Shen Jiayi walked towards the staircase on the right.
She slowly walked up the escalator, her right hand supporting her waist. Her pregnant belly was getting bigger every day, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to sleep or get up. Xia Jinghao, that fox, thought she might have to prepare for maternity leave. She climbed the stairs step by step. The Nan family mansion was truly enormous, looking as beautiful as a castle at first glance.
Shen Jiayi went upstairs and walked to Song Yuyan's bedroom. She pushed open the door and entered. The crystal chandelier was dazzling, and the pink and white crystals sparkled. The light reflected from the chandelier and fell on the peacock blue wool carpet, creating a crystal-clear beauty.
Shen Jiayi walked into her walk-in closet. Sure enough, her husband was the richest man in the world. His walk-in closet was bigger than hers. Shen Jiayi looked around with starry eyes, envious. She stomped her feet and said that when she married Xia Jinghao, she also wanted to live in a big villa like this and have the impact of being able to feel all kinds of clothes and outfits from 360 degrees as soon as she opened the door.
She picked out a mid-length lace nightgown. Shen Jiayi walked into the bathroom, walked to the bathtub, bent down slowly, lowered her head, reached into the bathtub to find the valve, and then opened the valve to fill the bathtub with hot water.
An hour later, at 11 p.m., Shen Jiayi walked out of the bathroom and into Song Yuyan's bedroom. A golden wedding photo hung directly in front of the bed. In the photo, Song Yuyan was wearing a peach-pink wedding dress, which was decorated with peach petals. She looked up at the ceiling and smiled sweeter than honey. A pair of large hands gently hugged her waist from behind, revealing a handsome face that was deadly.
He lowered his head, gently embraced Song Yuyan with his large hand, brought his handsome face close to her small face, and lightly kissed her left cheek. When did Nan Zeyu become so romantic? Shen Jiayi's eyes were full of envy. She stared at the couple's wedding photos for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
It took Shen Jiayi quite a while to come to her senses. She reached into her skirt pocket and took out her phone. It was already 11:30. She looked up and thought, "Let's go to sleep." Shen Jiayi supported her waist and walked to the bedside. She turned on the bedside lamp, kicked off her slippers, and carefully lifted her legs onto the bed, slowly moving to the right side. She lay flat on the bed.
I'm so tired after getting into bed. My whole body is sore. Shen Jiayi placed her right hand on her pregnant belly and gently stroked it. "Babies, you came so fast. I wasn't prepared at all. Now I'm just waiting for your daddy to come back soon."
Shen Jiayi smiled, her eyes slightly curved, her right hand stroking her pregnant belly. After a while, her eyelids drooped, she slowly closed her eyes, turned her head, placed her left hand under the pillow, and fell into a deep sleep. The night breeze outside the balcony gently swayed the gauze curtains, and the orange-red lamp on the bedside table was lit.
The next afternoon, before Shen Jiayi woke up, Butler Long had already brought over the rose crystal cake that Li Cheyan had brought that morning. It was the handmade kind. Butler Long placed the rose crystal cake on the coffee table. Song Yuyan, who was flipping through a celebrity magazine, glanced at the rose crystal cake on the coffee table.
Butler Long bowed and said, "Young Madam, Mr. Li brought it over around eight o'clock this morning. He didn't come in, so he asked me to give it to Miss Shen." Song Yuyan looked up at Butler Long. He straightened up; it was the tall, handsome man from the garden room yesterday. Her crystal-clear eyes sparkled as she looked at Butler Long, blinking curiously, and asked, "What's the relationship between that man and Jiayi?" Butler Long...
Butler Long frowned, bowed, and said, "Well, I don't know either, Madam. He only told me to bring this crystal cake to Miss Shen; he didn't say anything else." Song Yuyan sat up straight, leaning back on the sofa, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, her red lips moving as she murmured, "What does it usually mean when someone gives this as a gift?"
Butler Long immediately shook his head and replied, "I don't know either, Madam, but I think he cares a lot about Miss Shen, Madam." Song Yuyan nodded thoughtfully. Of course, she knew he cared about Shen Jiayi, but it also revealed how delicate their relationship was.
Rose crystal cake was indeed Shen Jiayi's favorite. This man even knew what Jiayi liked to eat. He was not to be underestimated. Song Yuyan shook her head. At this moment, Wang Ma came over, put the plate on the coffee table, straightened up and bowed, saying: "Young Madam, it's time for afternoon tea. I've prepared everything for you."
Song Yuyan slightly raised her eyelids and looked at the small dishes in the middle of her eyes: strawberry milk, strawberry porridge, raspberry pie pudding, and peach oolong taro mochi flavored milk pudding. Her watery eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her red lips hung with a sweet smile as she said: "Okay, there's milk pudding! I want to eat it, I want to eat it, hehehe."
Shen Jiayi slept until after four o'clock before waking up. After washing up, she changed into a jade-white maternity dress. There were so many maternity clothes in the walk-in closet that she was overwhelmed. As she walked downstairs, Shen Jiayi saw Li Ma pick up a plate from the coffee table. She turned around and saw Li Ma coming downstairs. Li Ma bowed and said, "You're awake, Miss Shen."
