Hit Love Preference Chapter 8 Part 1
Wen Ning stood alone in the venue, surrounded by cakes and snacks. Everything was exquisite and beautiful. At first glance, the price was high, and she dared not touch anything.
All the people around are well-known figures in the business world. Even if they have not known each other before, they still know each other. Everyone smiled politely and exchanged greetings. Wen Ning stood alone in the middle, which seemed out of place.
Jiang Shu was not around. She didn't even have a person who she could talk to. She simply stood in the corner of the event. She has no friends since childhood, and has adapted to being alone.
The little girl lowered her head and waited quietly for more than an hour. When she looked up again, Jiang Shu had disappeared.
People left around one after another, and the venue was empty. Only a few staff members were left. She panicked and looked around, but she still couldn't find Jiang Shu.
Seeing this, the hotel manager walked up to Wen Ning, bowed politely, and made a gesture of invitation with his hands to the right: "Hello, miss, the elevator entrance is here. Do you want me to take you there?"
Wen Ning was most afraid of troubling people in her life. She smiled timidly, waved her hand, and walked towards the exit. The elevator went all the way down to the bottom floor. She walked out of the hotel hall and couldn't find the car she took with Jiang Shu when she came.
As time passed, the night deepened and the traffic on the road became scarce.
She had stood in high heels for several hours, and she couldn't hold on anymore. She found a step by the flower bed next to the door of the hotel and sat down. She waited until ten o'clock, but she still couldn't find Jiang Shu.
She looked at the neon lights flickering and going out at night in the Hancheng, and smiled as if she had accepted her fate.
Jiang Shu left quietly. He probably didn't remember taking her with him tonight, or even if he did it didn't matter. Tonight is her first time to attend such an event. It is inevitable that she is nervous. After changing her dress, her wallet and mobile phone are all left in the bedroom without her, and she can't even make a phone call.
However, on second thought, even with her mobile phone, she didn't dare to call Jiang Shu, because she didn't know how much an insignificant phone call would disturb him. He left her behind, how could he take the time to look back for her.
Hancheng is very big. In the past few months when she married Jiang Shu, she didn't go out of Yuqian bay again except to go to the old house with him. She hasn't had time to get familiar with the city well, and she doesn't know whether she can find the way back to Yuqian bay.
The hotel is built in a villa near the suburbs. People who come and go here are either rich or expensive. Most of them are picked up by private cars, so the nearest bus stop is also three kilometers away.
Wen Ning took off her high-heeled shoes and walked barefoot on the asphalt road. It was dark around. Occasionally, a cart galloped from her side. She said in her heart that she should not be afraid but it was impossible not to.
When Jiang Shu got home, it was close to 11 o'clock. He subconsciously walked to the guest room where Wen Ning lived. He saw no one inside and went straight to the master bedroom on the second floor.
The bedroom was dark and the light was not turned on. Wen Ning's mobile phone was placed on the cabinet by the door. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and guessed that she should go home early and go to bed, so she didn't answer the phone.
Tonight, he was also a little tired. He just smelled of smoke in the club and simply turned into the bathroom to take a bath. The man took a quick bath and soon came out in a big bathrobe. Holding the ice floating flower bracelet brought back from tonight's auction, he plans to put it in the position where Wen Ning can see it early tomorrow morning.
Only when he came to the small sofa where she often slept, through the moonlight, did he find that there was no familiar figure on the sofa.
Jiang Shu frowned slightly and hurried back to the bedroom door to pick up her mobile phone. The 400 yuan straight board machine had no password. Jiang Shu easily unlocked it. Except for a few of his calls, he didn't even read the message he had sent her earlier.
The time on the screen was close to 11 p.m. and there was no sign of stopping rain due to the thunderstorm outside. His heart suddenly tightened, and he grabbed the car key with a frown. There was no time to put down his mobile phone and flower bracelet, and he strode downstairs.
Wen Ning walked barefoot with high heels for more than ten minutes, and then it began to rain. She had nowhere to hide. Her dress was wet all over her body. The little girl wiped the rain on her face, bit her lip and continued to run to the bus stop a few kilometers away.
When she finally arrived at the station, she missed the last bus.
Behind her, a bright gray sports car came down from the overhead and followed her. It stopped beside her and honked the horn several times. Wen Ning just thought she was blocking others' way and ran hard to hide in the other lane. Finally, she met him at the bus stop.
The sports car dropped half a window, and the man in the driver's seat looked serious in a navy blue suit: "Little girl, there is no bus at this point, if you don't mind, I'll see you off."
Wen Ning really had no way to go home. Seeing that the other party was a taxi solicitor, she weighed her tight deposit, carefully bent over and asked, "Hello, how much is it to Yuqian Bay? I didn't bring my wallet out tonight. Can I go somewhere to get it for you?"
"Yuqian Bay?" Zhou Ziheng was stunned, and then suddenly laughed, "I won't charge you. I'm not engaged in services. I'm on my way. Get in the car. It's raining too hard."
Wen Ning's mind was simple and she didn't take much precautions. When she got in the car, she couldn't help thanking him. Zhou Ziheng looked ahead, took off his suit and coat and handed it to her: "Wear it."
She took his coat, glanced at her wet dress, and hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, I got your car wet, I'm really sorry, for a while -"
"If the air conditioner is turned on in the car and you get caught in the rain, you will catch a cold easily without a coat."
Wen Ning was stunned. No one had ever thought her cold and illness were noteworthy.
"Thank you."
The man faintly hummed: "Do you live in Yuqian Bay?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Zhou Ziheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "Nothing, a friend of mine also lives there."
