Chapter 153 Pregnant? (1/2)
On the first night of the exhibition, A Miao caught a cold.
”Don't go tomorrow.” Jiang Quanyu looked at the thermometer. ”Fortunately, there is no fever.”
A Miao took the medicine with a glass full of water and groaned. ”It's okay. I'll be better after the sleep.”
The next morning, Jiang Quanyu saw that she was sleeping so soundly, and he left a note for her. Arriving at the exhibition hall, he saw Shen Xinglan, and naturally, Shanshan was following him.
”When can we drink a toast to Director Shen's wedding?” Jiang Quanyu seldom took the initiative to greet Shen Xinglan and Shen Xinglan frowned when he found him alone.
”Next year, um... or the following year.” Shen Xinglan lifted up the corners of his mouth. ”You will be invited after all.”
Jiang Quanyu did not try to guess the meaning of his words but looked aside. Shanshan smiled at him and said, ”Why is Mr. Jiang here alone? Where's sister A Miao?”
”Oh! She's sick.” Jiang Quanyu sighed. ”She had a fever all night and slept in this morning.”
Shen Xinglan's eyes were dark, and finally, there was nothing left. ”Then it is better for you to go back to take care of the patient sooner, or... this exhibition is more important.”
”Haha, I just came to show my face, I'll be back later.” Jiang Quanyu took a step to the right. ”Take care, Director Shen.”
Shen Xinglan and his party went to greet the organizer, then took a seat casually, and Shanshan looked at him carefully. ”Brother Xinglan, do you want to see sister A Miao?”
”Do you want to go?” Shen Xinglan saw Jiang Quanyu be stopped by several senior officials. It seemed that he could not leave shortly.
Shanshan bit her lip. ”She is sick alone... What a pity!”
”Then you have to ask Jiang Quanyu if he will let you go.” Shen Xinglan turned to look at her. ”I will not go.”
”Mmm!” Shanshan nodded with a clever face. ”I know.”
Since the exhibition was being held by the government, there was a leader's speech at the beginning. The invited executives were all sitting in the VIP area, and the common people all crowded around the door.
While bypassing the main building, two men were standing in front of rusty iron gates in a remote alley behind.
”I'll go.”
”I'll go.”
Ouyang Jin looked at Ding V and said, ”Roshambo for who wins and who goes.”
”No, no one can beat you.”
”Then who loses and who goes?” Ouyang Jin reached out his fist.
Ding V was expressionless. ”No, you also decide who loses.”
”OK!” Ouyang Jin made a gesture of invitation. ”Go.”
Ding V broke the chain on the door. ”Come in five minutes.”
Ouyang Jin looked at his watch and slipped in when the time was up. The camera had been damaged by Ding V. He assumed that he had found the jade pendant by now and waited for him to get it.
”What are you doing here?” He took a turn, and before he got to the backstage of the exhibition, he saw Ding V squatting on the ground.
Ouyang Jin followed Ding V's eyes and found a woman dressed in black stealing a painting nearby.
”Hey! Who are you, friend?” His voice was not loud or quite, just enough to let her hear it.
She stared blankly, probably not expecting that there would be others here.
Ouyang Jin walked slowly over. ”Don't be afraid! I have always been very gentle with beautiful women.” On the front of this woman's face, even the eyes were covered by sunglasses, the only thing exposed was the long hair on her head.
”Don't come here!” Her voice was very quiet, obviously not wanting to let them determine what her real voice was.
”I just wanted to ask if you want some help.” Ouyang Jin stood still, glancing at the painting in her hand. ”Is that all you want?”
The woman put the painting into a tube behind her back and looked at Ouyang Jin and then at Ding V, who was still squatting in the corner planting mushrooms, as if thinking about how to leave.
”Go that way!” Ouyang Jin pointed in the direction that he had come from. ”It's very safe.”
Ding V suddenly stood up and moved aside to make way. Ouyang Jin lifted his eyebrows and revealed a meaningful smile.
”Young lady, if you don't go, you can stay! Just help us open the lock over there.”
Just as the voice died down, he saw the woman running toward the exit and disappear in a few seconds. Ding V also stood up and looked eagerly for a long time, not knowing what he was seeing.
”Who is she?”
Since Ding V did not do anything and even took the initiative to let her go, it meant that he knew and even knew her scent well.
Now that Ding V remembered to get down to business, he went over to the cabinet where the bronze mirror jade pendant was. ”Unlock it quickly.”
”Tell me who that woman is first?” Ouyang Jin folded his arms.
At the exhibition site, one hour had passed since all the leaders finished speaking. When it was announced that everyone could go in and walk around freely, the eyes of Shen Xinglan suddenly stopped. Then he bowed his head and walked in as if nothing had happened.
”Why are you here?” Jiang Quanyu frowned. ”Aren't you sick?”
A Miao rubbed her nose. ”I'm not bad, just a little stuffy nose.”
