Chapter 22: Come back to your room with me

The car stopped at the entrance of "Tingyu Hot Spring Hotel".

The driver turned around and said, "Little sister, we're here."

Zhu Shan thanked her and got off the car.

She hadn't felt it in the car just now, but now, standing halfway up the snowy mountain in the middle of the night, a biting chill hit her, and she shivered immediately.

Quickly trotted into the hotel lobby and took out his ID card, "Hello, I have booked a hotel."

After briefly checking the information, the lady at the front desk gave Zhu Shan a key card and a promotional brochure.

Zhu Shan did not leave immediately, but asked in a low voice, "Is your boss, Mr. Zhao Yu, here?"

"The boss is not here. He will be back tomorrow morning." The lady at the front desk said thoughtfully, "Our boss's wife is here."

But Zhu Shan didn’t come to see the boss’s wife.

She hesitated for a while and then said she wanted to go to the room. She walked quickly because it was too cold outside.

It took a long time to walk through the hall and around the backyard.

She couldn't help but start to question that this was the "small hotel" the driver said. Does a big hotel still require a taxi in the hotel?

This hot spring hotel adopts an elegant literary style, which somewhat matches its somewhat meaningful name.

The same goes for decoration.

The combination of stone and wood is used, which is cool and kind.

Her room is on the second floor, about thirty square meters, with a large bed, two single sofas, and a tea table.

Zhu Shan turned on the air conditioner, charged her mobile phone, and began to look at the room carefully.

The most beautiful thing in the room is the screen partition with ancient charm, on which there is a picture of a lady with a graceful figure and enchanting posture.

Behind the screen is the sink, and next to it is a small door, which opens into the bathroom. The brick-made rectangular sunken bathtub looks very suitable for taking a bath.

Zhu Shan found the disposable bathtub cover and turned on the hot water. She had been hit by the cool breeze just now, and she was afraid of catching a cold, so she planned to take more dips.

I didn’t have a mobile phone to play with, so I just went in with the brochure.

Lying in the bathtub, all the soreness disappears quietly.

She flipped through the brochure in her hand boredly.

The first few pages of text are about this hotel, and the following pages are about this snow-capped mountain.

It said that the owner and the landlady of this hot spring hotel met in the snowy mountains, and later gave up the hustle and bustle of the city and chose to stay here.

The hotel is named "Tingyu" because the proprietress's name is "Ting" and the boss's name is "Yu". They were named to show their love.

Or a dog-torture love story.

Just as Zhu Shan was thinking about it, the landline phone in the room rang.

She pulled the towel around her body and ran out.

As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard the sweet but unnatural voice of the front desk lady, "Zhu, Ms. Zhu, a gentleman came to the front desk and said he was your husband. Look at this..."

Zhu Shan didn't finish listening, and became wary, "I don't have a husband, it's a lie."

After saying that, Zhu Shan suddenly broke out into a thin sweat.

She... seems to have a husband.

But...impossible?

so far...

It's still so late...

Zhu Shan's eyebrows twisted into knots, her eyes slid over the charging phone next to her, and her heartbeat immediately began to accelerate.

There was some noise coming from the receiver, and then a male voice that made Zhu Shan's heart tremble.

Obviously suppressing his anger, "Zhu Shanshan, come out!"

It would be an understatement to say that I was gnashing my teeth.

Zhu Shan responded almost reflexively, "Horse, right away."

...

Ling Xiao failed to contact Zhu Shan in the evening and directly contacted his leader Qu Lianjie. Of course Qu Lianjie was happy and immediately asked him about it. Then he learned from Wu Jing that she was chasing stars.

The place of chasing stars is a hot spring hotel hundreds of miles away. I heard that the target of chasing stars is a man.

Qu Lianjie's contact information was found by Li Shang.

So all this was heard by Li Shang, and he blurted out, "Is this a man's meeting, or a hot spring hotel?"

As if aware of Ling Xiao's darkening expression, he coughed lightly, "Shanshan must have been deceived."

The next second, Ling Xiao had stood up and strode out of the office.

Because tomorrow is the weekend, and it is a rare weekend without urgent matters, all the staff have left.

Li Shang glanced at the empty office and said without lowering his voice, "You're not going to the hotel to arrest someone, are you?"

"I'm going to beat someone up!"

Li Shang followed and kindly reminded, "She is your wife. Do you understand the domestic violence law?"

"Who said I wanted to beat her up?"

If you don't beat her, wouldn't you beat him?

Li Shang, "Fighting is also illegal."

Ling Xiao snorted and raised his eyebrows, "Waiting for him to sue me."

Sue Ling Xiao?

That would be worse than being beaten!

Li Shang finished teasing and stopped following.

Ling Xiao left the law firm, Li Shang entered the office, and intern Ye Yiran, who had not yet gotten off work, stood up from behind the office chair holding a USB flash drive.

She heard the big secret.

Ling Lu got married.

His wife also cheated on her.

Now I'm going to the hotel to catch the rapist.

Before Ling Xiao got on the highway, he called Zhu Shan again, but no one answered.

He instantly became irritable.

It's not that he thought Zhu Shan would have anything to do with another man. After all, he was confident that Zhu Shan didn't have the guts to do so under his constant alarm.

But in his spare time, he had also seen the female employees of the company gathered around and discussing the obsession with popular male stars. He had also received a lawsuit in which a woman was deceived, so he was afraid that she was really deceived by sweet words.

Also, when did she start chasing stars?

Under his nose, he didn't even know.

When getting off the highway, Ling Xiao called Zhu Shan again, but the phone on the phone was already turned off.

In what seemed like an instant, all the feelings of irritation and blame on the road turned into worry.

It filled his heart densely.

The vehicle stopped at a high speed in front of the hotel, and the loud brake sound was particularly harsh halfway up the mountain.

The young lady at the front desk had lost her drowsiness, tilted her head and looked outside, and saw a handsome-looking man coming in.

The man wears black trousers and a casual shoulder shirt. The top of the shirt is slightly open, making him appear broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.

He wore thin-rimmed glasses and looked elegant and elegant.

He approached, feeling cold all over his body, "Hello, is there Ms. Zhu Shan staying here? If it's convenient, please help me check her room number."

The lady at the front desk was still stunned.

Looking at him from a close distance, this man didn't look gentle at all, his brows and eyes were all sharp.

Ling Xiao frowned and pressed his fingers on the table, "Hello!"

"Ah, oh..."

The young lady at the front desk reacted and was a little embarrassed. Before she could speak, Ling Xiao interrupted.

"I am her husband. She can't be contacted right now. I'm worried about her personal safety."

Seeing the front desk, she was still embarrassed. Ling Xiao took out her cell phone and said, "I know the procedure. I won't embarrass you. I'm worried about her safety and should call the police first."

His tone sounded like he had just remembered a normal procedure.

Obviously the normal procedure was to call the police, but the lady at the front desk couldn't let him do this. She was afraid that if he called the police, she would lose her year-end bonus.

The young lady at the front desk made a stop gesture with both hands, "No! Sir! Don't call the police yet!"

Ling Xiao just stared at her, his sharp eyebrows showing a silent sense of oppression.

The young lady at the front desk thought for two seconds. She had an impression of Ms. Zhu Shan, who was wearing thin clothes and had no luggage. She even asked her if their boss was there.

As if she had made a decision, she frowned and looked at Ling Xiao, "That lady did check into our hotel, but I can't tell you the room number. I can help you ask what the lady meant."

Ling Xiao pressed the top of the phone with his index finger, quickly retracted his palm, and said indifferently, "It's troublesome."

After waiting for about ten minutes, Ling Xiao's patience was almost exhausted. He reached out and took off his glasses, hung them casually on his chest, and rubbed the bridge of his sore nose.

His myopia is only more than 100 degrees, and he usually does not wear glasses. If he hadn't just been driving on a mountain road, he wouldn't have taken out his glasses. Suddenly, there was a running sound, which sounded particularly clear at night.

He was very familiar with this running rhythm.

The next second, Zhu Shan appeared in front of her.

She folded her hands around her chest and pressed the bathrobe. She wore two bathrobes on top of each other. The thin sweatshirt underneath showed through the neckline, and a pair of jeans showed underneath. On her feet were summer slippers.

There was a towel wrapped around her head, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to her cheeks.

Because she was running a little fast, she opened her mouth slightly and gasped.

When her eyes fell on Ling Xiao, Zhu Shan's round eyes rolled, her little mouth opened and closed, and finally she just opened the corners of her mouth and smiled at him.

All the inexplicable emotions that Ling Xiao had been feeling in the past few hours were instantly crushed by her smile.

It was Zhu Shan's idea not to hit the smiling person.

Seeing his sharp gaze, she pursed her lips, "Why are you here?"

After saying this, Zhu Shan really wanted to slap herself.

Why is Ling Xiao still here? Isn't this asking questions knowingly?

Of course I'm worried about her.

Care about her.

like her.

Ling Xiao didn't answer, took out his wallet and pressed his ID card on the front desk, "One room."

Hearing that he was about to stay, Zhu Shan lowered her eyes and felt a tingling warmth in her heart.

She came alone and was envious when she saw others laughing and joking in groups.

However, she had not had many friends for so many years, so she was used to it and was not too depressed.

But that doesn't mean she likes to be alone.

Moreover, she didn't say anything, and Ling Xiao's sudden appearance made her feel like she was being missed.

A bit of a surprise, even.

She had to admit that this feeling was as sweet as honey.

But she was destined to live up to his friendship.

Guilt-ing.

The lady at the front desk was a little embarrassed, "Sir, there is no room available."

Ling Xiao, "..."

Zhu Shan, "..."

The lady at the front desk looked at the two of them. She didn't understand why the couple slept in separate rooms.

Ling Xiao slowly took back his ID card, glanced at Zhu Shan, and walked out.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word to her.

Zhu Shan didn't think anything and followed out.

"Ling Xiao, where are you going?"

"There are no hotels around here. It's too late for you to go down the mountain now. It might be foggy and it's very dangerous."

"Are you angry?"

"I didn't mean it, my phone's battery ran out."

"Can you not be angry?"

"Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Zhu Shan was stepping on the steps of the hotel door, her slippers slipped, and she only screamed, "Ah——"

The wind at night is very cold, and the wind in the mountains is still biting.

The feeling of weightlessness at a rapid speed made Zhu Shan's back feel hot and the tip of her nose sweated in the coolness.

But the pain did not come, because Ling Xiao quickly turned around and put his arms around her abdomen.

Zhu Shan didn't eat dinner, and when his stomach was squeezed by his arm, she suddenly felt like vomiting.

I didn't vomit, but I had acid reflux in my stomach and held back tears.

So, Ling Xiao saw her raise her little face and said with tears, Ling Xiao, I was really wrong.

She was crying, what else could he do?

I could only help her sit down and then pull off her slippers.

Half of her foot slipped out, and the edge of the slipper left a deep mark on the side of her foot.

Ling Xiao frowned, "You have to work harder yourself."

"I did it." After saying that, Zhu Shan gritted her teeth and hugged her calves with both hands and pulled her legs back hard.

After a while of manipulation, he finally pulled out the slippers, and Ling Xiao subconsciously and casually threw them back.

The movements are extremely chic.

This action confirmed the irritability in his heart at the moment.

The irritation was that he planned to go back to the car and spend the night casually, but he found that she had other ideas.

Zhu Shan saw the orange-red slippers draw a bright parabola in the air, and then turned twice not far away.

She glared angrily, "Ling Xiao——"

Ling Xiao closed his eyes helplessly, and wrinkles appeared between his eyebrows.

Zhu Shan curled her lips, stood up, jumped over, picked up her slippers and put them on.

Turning around again, there was Ling Xiao's figure with his back to her.

It was also at this moment that she realized that Ling Xiao was only wearing a shirt.

It seemed that he was really anxious to come find her.

Zhu Shan looked down at herself, then took off the outermost bathrobe and walked over, handed it to him, and softened her tone, "Don't be angry, I understand you."

I was very angry because I was worried about me.

Because I can't express my love, I feel depressed.

Zhu Shan shook the bathrobe in her hand and said, "I'm not a heartless person. You can go back to the room with me."

Ling Xiao looked at the bathrobe, then raised his eyes at Zhu Shan, the wrinkles between his eyebrows getting deeper.

She pursed her lips to avoid his gaze, "I can give you the bed. I'll sleep on the sofa."
