The next day, after Cheng Zhu woke up in the morning, he replied to the WeChat message Zhang Qiqi sent late last night.

Didn't the two of them tell each other that they had gone to take a shower last night? Zhang Qiqi wanted to rely on the subsequent reactions after the temporary interruption of the chat to infer whether the relationship between the two had progressed further through this date.

If Cheng Zhu came to chat with her after washing up, that would undoubtedly be a good sign.

As a result, she waited and waited, but she couldn't wait.

Later, even when she took the initiative to send "I've finished washing" to her, the message was like nothing.

This kind of experience happens to Zhang Qiqi from time to time, but she is always the one who says she went to take a shower and then never responds to messages again.

But who would have thought that today the positions would be reversed!

????????????

——Polar reversal!

The message that Cheng Zhu barely found time to reply to after waking up in the morning also seemed familiar to Zhang Qiqi.

"I took a hot bath yesterday, and then I felt sleepy as soon as I touched the pillow and fell asleep directly." Cheng Zhu started to talk nonsense.

If we really have to calculate his sleep time this way, he slept for a full eleven hours!

Watching a movie is like going to farm, are you so tired?

"It's okay, I also slept last night." Zhang Qiqi obviously didn't go to bed until twelve o'clock, but she still replied like this.

The wicked will still need to be tortured by the wicked, and the queen of the sea will still need to be tortured by the king of the sea.

——"Torture".

After a simple reply and some perfunctory efforts to stabilize the relationship, Cheng Zhu directly said that he was going to get busy.

In fact, he didn't have anything particularly important to do this morning. He just wanted to go to the [Insistence Visit] studio to enjoy the cheers of the employees.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who told us that we could briefly reach the top spot in the same category last night?"

"Last night, there was already a party in the work group."

As soon as Cheng Zhu was in a good mood, he immediately sent out an 888 lucky red envelope, and the atmosphere in the group suddenly became more lively.

He never plays tricks, and the employees all know that when the store secures its first place, the boss will definitely give everyone red envelopes as before.

At noon, in a high-end villa complex in Hangzhou, Shen Qingning was sitting in her room reading a romance novel when she heard a knock on the door.

"Ning Ning, it's time to eat." The stepmother's voice came from outside the house.

"Okay, Auntie." Shen Qingning replied, then slowly closed the novel in her hand.

Personally, she prefers reading physical books.

Now that I read it, it is still a sadistic novel.

This cool girl chooses romance novels, and she always adheres to the principle of not reading them if they are not abusive. She doesn’t know why, but she just likes reading erotic novels to feel the excitement of love and all kinds of love-hate entanglements in them.

Reason told her that all of this was unrealistic and the content was false.

But she is usually a very sensible person, and occasionally when she relaxes, she is used to reading without thinking.

In the past few days, when she read romance and sadistic stories, she didn't feel particularly good about them.

It was strange that even though she was reading a novel that could only be considered moderately sadistic in ordinary times, her emotional ups and downs were comparable to those of reading a violently sadistic novel.

This sober-minded girl knew very well that the problem was not with the books.

The book is still the same book.

The problem is with yourself.

Ever since Lin Lu talked with her that night, she would often be distracted and restless.

Lin Lu is too straightforward and honest. Since she likes someone, she will naturally choose to tell her good friends as soon as possible.

These days, during the National Day holiday, Shen Qingning usually spends her free time reading.

When reading romance novels, you will definitely see some sweet content.

After all, even if it is an abusive article, it is impossible to abuse it from beginning to end.

Readers who love to read sadistic stories are often very good at finding candy among glass shards.

Every time she saw this sweet plot, she would always recall that blurry night, the night when he took her to blow the night breeze.

Because she is different from Lin Lu.

There was actually only a little bit of sweetness between her and Cheng Zhu.

There was only the sweetness of that night.

Shen Qingning, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at the cover of this novel.

Interestingly, the cover of this novel depicts a man and two women.

Wearing pajamas and pajamas, she got up from her chair and started going downstairs to have lunch.

A pair of good-looking trousers and pajamas, when worn on her body, somehow felt like cropped pants.

Just talking about legs, Shen Qingning, the "leg guy", really has no rivals in Polytechnic University.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the stepmother, who was only two years older than Shen Minglang, had already sat down by herself and was pouring corn juice into a cup.

"Ning Ning, do you want something to drink?" she asked.

"No, I'll just drink water." Shen Qingning shook her head.

The stepmother of Shen Qingning and Shen Minglang is 29 years old this year and will not celebrate her 30th birthday in two months.

She is quite beautiful, but she is definitely not beautiful. She is the kind of beauty that is attractive and gives people a very comfortable feeling. She is the kind of beauty that does not carry any aggression.

This is one of the reasons why she can become the stepmother of the Shen family. Father Shen is quite relieved about her.

A man of his age, with a successful career, doesn't want a troublesome woman to come to the family, who will make the house restless every day.

You know, having a son like Shen Minglang is enough to worry about.

Father Shen told the brothers and sisters directly that he would not have any more children.

He must have said this to his second wife as well.

However, if this stepmother were older, she might be able to say thoughtfully: "It's okay, I will treat these two brothers and sisters as my own children."

It's a pity that she is too young. When Shen Minglang was born, she was only two years old, and she was still at an age where she would wet the bed.

To be honest, Shen Qingning had a very good impression of this stepmother.

She is indeed not the kind of person who can act like a monster. On the contrary, she is always angry with Shen Minglang in this family and has never complained or cried to Father Shen.

Whether this is because of her natural personality or because of her high emotional intelligence, it doesn't matter.

I can only say that she has always managed this family very well.

After sitting down at the dining table, Shen Qingning took the warm water poured by the nanny and said to the woman, "Auntie, I have something to ask you."

Naturally, what she wanted to ask about was about Starlight City and helping Cheng Zhu rent a store in the shopping mall.

The Shen family has a stake in Starlight City, but it is under the name of the stepmother named Wang Yushan.

Speaking of which, Shen Minglang even went crazy over his stepmother's name: "Your name is Wang Yushan, and my dad's name is Shen Guoqiang. Do you think your names look like a couple when put together?"

The reason for using her name to invest in the shares is actually to allow her to receive a sum of money from the mall every year.

This money is for her to spend on her daily life.

It would be nicer to tell the outside world that I would receive dividends from the shopping mall instead of saying that my husband would pay me for my living expenses.

For Wang Yushan, although Shen Qingning calls her aunt on weekdays, she gets along with her as a friend, more like a sister than a stepmother.

She never puts on airs in front of Shen Qingning.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask me?" She put down the corn juice cup and looked at Shen Qingning.

"Are there any shops available for rent in Starlight City now? Or are there any that are about to expire?" she asked.

"Then I need to make a call and ask." Wang Yushan replied.

After saying that, she looked at Shen Qingning and asked, "Which position do you want, and how big do you want it to be?"

"The location should be as central as possible. If you want to know how big it is, I'll ask." She picked up her phone and started sending a WeChat message.

"Are you asking for a friend?" Wang Yushan suddenly became interested.

In her impression, Shen Qingning was a person with few friends, and only Lin Lu came to her home.

But she knew Lin Lu, and they had added each other on WeChat when they were guests at home before. If she was asking for Lin Lu, she would definitely tell her name directly.

"Well, I'm asking for a friend." Shen Qingning said while typing for Cheng Zhu.

"A boy or a girl?" She was joking on purpose to liven up the atmosphere.

Our family, Ningning, doesn’t have many men around us.

She was too cold, very cold.

Some of Shen Minglang's friends also came to visit her. Wang Yushan could tell that Shen Minglang's friends were a little afraid of Ning Ning!
