Chapter 22 A dream that has never ended.

In the early morning, when Liang Qingyu opened her eyes, what she saw was the sleeping face of the man.

The sleeping Xie Licheng was not as cold and unapproachable as usual. His long eyelashes and facial features were much softer.

For a moment, she felt that this was a dream.

A dream from which one never woke up.

But, we all have to wake up eventually.

She lowered her eyelashes, took the man's hand off her waist, and stood up to wash.

The moment she turned around, Xie Licheng opened his eyes. He watched the person getting farther and farther away from him, and then entered the bathroom.

His eyes were deep, mixed with uncertainty.

Ten minutes later, Liang Qingyu returned to the room and saw Xie Licheng getting dressed. She paused slightly, then walked to the dressing mirror without any intention of talking to him.

However, she didn't expect Xie Licheng to walk towards her.

Seeing the person standing behind her in the mirror, her body was slightly tense and her expression showed no emotion.

"What's wrong?"

"There is a party tonight, you come with me."

Liang Qingyu subconsciously wanted to refuse, "You know, I haven't been feeling well these days."

Hearing this, Xie Licheng thought of what happened last night, his eyes darkened slightly, "This banquet invites you and me. If you don't attend, others will think that there is a problem between us. Although this may be what you want, do you think the Liang family can accept such news now?"

The Liang company, whose stock market was in turmoil, was already barely holding on with the protection of Sheng Yao. If such news were to spread, it would surely accelerate its collapse.

Liang Qingyu clenched her hands slightly, nodded after a moment and said , " I understand, I will go with you."

Xie Licheng was satisfied.

"Someone will take you to choose a dress later. If you are not feeling well, you can let others do it."

"knew."

"I have to go to the company first. If you have anything, please call me directly."

"good."

Xie Licheng looked at the woman in front of him. She was clearly obeying every word she said, but why did he feel uncomfortable?

"Why aren't you looking at me?"

Liang Qingyu was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why he asked such a strange question, but she still looked at him as he asked.

She had almond-shaped eyes, and her black pupils would light up when she looked at people, like stars in the dark night, but that was all in the past.

Now, those eyes looked at him calmly, as if they were looking at a stranger.

Xie Licheng felt very upset.

He subconsciously bent down and pinched the woman's chin. Only when he saw the surprise and faint anger on her dull face did he feel a little more relaxed.

"I'm warning you, be good and don't have any inappropriate thoughts, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences."

His fingers gently rubbed the woman's red lips for a few seconds, his eyes dark.

Liang Qingyu didn't notice it. She just thought that this person was weird and had a seizure early in the morning.

"I don't understand uh- "

His hot breath pressed over her, engulfing her lips, and he snatched a kiss from her.

After a while, Liang Qingyu finally broke free from his shackles.

The little face was stained with crimson, the eyes were sparkling, and the lips were bright red.

Seeing this, Xie Licheng curled his lips and smiled.

"Be good, see you later."

After saying this, he turned and left, his steps unusually light.

Liang Qingyu stared at his back, raised her hand and rubbed her mouth hard a few times, but still felt it was not working, so she ran to the bathroom and started washing her mouth.

About an hour later, the person arranged by Xie Licheng came and took Liang Qingyu to their dress shop.

"Mrs. Xie, Mr. Xie has instructed that everything should be done according to your preferences. What style of dress do you like?"

The manager who was accompanying him was respectful and asked with a smile.

Liang Qingyu glanced at her belly. She was less than a month pregnant and her pregnancy was not yet visible.

But she also didn't want to wear anything too cumbersome and burden herself.

"The fabric should be light and comfortable, plain and would be best if it could make one invisible at a party."

She just thought of herself as going through the motions, and hoped that no one would notice her.

The manager felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. After all, this kind of request was rare. In the past, when people attended banquets, most of them hoped to be the most dazzling. Even if they could not be the center of attention at the banquet, they could not overshadow the others.

"Why, no?"

"Okay, of course. I'll ask someone to find it for you right away."

As the saying goes, the customer is God, and the one in front of us is no ordinary guest.

Of course the manager will do his best to find her, and of course he will make some adjustments. After all, the person in front of him will attend the banquet as Xie Licheng's female companion. If she is too shabby, they will also suffer.

Liang Qingyu , " Yes, thank you."

Afterwards, she was taken to have her makeup done.

Just as Xie Licheng said, she didn't have to do anything but wait to be "dressed up".

Time passed little by little, and when Liang Qingyu was drowsy, someone patted her shoulder gently.

"Mrs. Xie, it's done. Do you like it?"

Liang Qingyu just opened her eyes and casually responded, "It looks good."

Makeup artist , "... "

Is it so perfunctory?

But she immediately smiled and said , " As long as you are satisfied, the dress is ready. I will take you to change into it."

"good."

The dress they chose was a cheongsam with a white base and ink-colored embellishments.

Liang Qingyu had just changed her clothes when she heard a familiar voice coming from outside.

"Not well yet?"

"Mr. Xie is already changing clothes inside and will be out soon."

"Um."

Xie Licheng is here.

Liang Qingyu stood in the dressing room, inexplicably not wanting to go out, but she also knew that this was impossible.

She took a deep breath, reached out, pulled open the curtain, and walked out.

The man who was sitting on the sofa and reading a magazine raised his eyes when he heard the voice and froze when he saw the figure.

He was used to Liang Qingyu's beautiful, bright and gentle side, even her prickly side, which he had seen a few days ago.

But now she is wearing a Chinese cheongsam and has her hair tied up in a bun, which is another kind of beauty, like an ink painting.

It's not sharp, but it's eye-catching.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liang Qingyu bit the soft flesh on her cheek, feeling a little puzzled.

Could it be that her choice was so bad that Xie Licheng didn't even want to talk.

But no matter whether he likes it or not, she will not change it. She feels very comfortable in this dress. The color is not flashy and it is slim and fits well, which are all points that satisfy her.

She walked up to Xie Licheng and asked, "Shall we go?"

End the party quickly so she can go back and rest early.

Also, I don’t know how Mu Yanxu is doing?

"Well, let's go."

The man's deep and magnetic voice fell into her ears, and he immediately motioned for her to take his arm.

Liang Qingyu glanced at him, decided not to cause any trouble, and obediently put her arm around his.

The banquet was held at the Gun Hotel.

When they arrived, there were already many guests inside, chatting and laughing happily.
