Xue Nanyan's voice came out, "James?"
Serena was quick to click the close button before the screen went off.
"My sister-in-law was so scared that her face turned pale."
Serena's chest heaved even more violently. She threw the phone away with all her might and angrily said, "That's your mother. Do you have any sense of shame?"
James let his phone fly out and fall to the ground. He had his hands free and lifted up Serena's skirt, answering honestly, "No."
Serena hurried to cover her skirt and pulled her legs together, so James grabbed her ankles and pulled them outward. She rubbed her hair on the stone table for a while, and the sandalwood hairpin in her hair finally fell onto the stone table with a click.
The sound was not loud, but it was so quiet that it sounded scary, and Serena immediately stopped moving.
"So scared?"
outside and night was approaching. The lights in the yard were turned on. There was a lamp outside the stone
James came in with Chen Xiaoyu. They both changed their clothes. During the meal, he had a sharp eye and understood what was going on at a glance. He pursed his lips to suppress a smile."Young man.""Isn't it so urgent?""This is what a good relationship is like. You've been young before, don't you understand?"Serena also listened and buried her head even more in the plate.James sat down next to Xue Nanyue. Xue Nanyue glanced at them and thought that they were a little strange."Have you taken a shower?""Yeah, it's hot, I'm sweating after walking around the garden."James' new clothes were dark blue, which matched his previous image as a CEO. Although Xue Nanyue felt that there was still a cool breeze at night in this season and it was not so hot that she had to change two sets of clothes a day, it was normal for her young son to have more energy than the elderly.She was mainly concerned about Chen Xiaoyu, who had als
He stood up to get the wine, and Serena stood up as well, taking the glass of Moutai from his hand. The back of her hand brushed against Elliot's, and Serena's slightly wet hair brushed against Elliot's cheek. His eyes dimmed for a moment, and he withdrew his hand."Since it's a tribute to me, I'll do it."Serena smiled and raised her glass, "Fifth brother's blessing is more important than anyone else's. Thank you."After saying this, she drank it all in one gulp, so decisively that it didn't seem like she was drinking a blessing wine but rather like she was having a farewell dinner.For Serena, who doesn't drink liquor, she couldn't tell whether the flavor was soy sauce or light . The only thing she could taste was the burning spiciness and a rush of energy that went straight to the top of her head, making her dizzy and step back. If she lost balance, she would fall backwards.Fortunately, Elliot stretched out his arms to support her, and she ma
The car drove onto the road, neon lights shone through the window, light and dark interweaving on James' face, with a sense of danger in the weirdness.Chen Xiaoyu was inexplicably frightened. She leaned towards James again and rubbed her chest against him."Brother James, my sister-in-law is having an affair with Elliot. Do you think it's true?"James's eyelids were half closed . "You don't believe it?""I didn't believe it at first, but I did after Elliot's identity was exposed. My eldest brother suffered so much because of my sister-in-law in order to get into the Forrest family. She has a long-term vision and a high ambition. How could she marry a small role next time?" Chen Xiaoyu snorted, "I feel so sorry for my eldest brother!"James curled his lips."Xiaoyu is in Country M, and knows a lot about my family.""I care about you. Think about how stable your brother was originally, but she ruined him." Chen Xiaoyu sighed, "Brother
Serena was not drunk. Although the effect of a glass of Maotai was strong, it was mostly gone after being blown by the night breeze. She sat in the passenger seat in silence, letting Elliot drive the car up and down."Sister Serena, if you don't say something, I'll feel a little depressed.""What are you talking about? Your domineering president literature?"Elliot was embarrassed and coughed shyly, "I really don't have a story, so I can only borrow from literary works. Don't be angry."It was clearly her who dragged him into making up stories and was judged by everyone, but he apologized to her instead. It really didn't make sense. Serena sighed and adjusted her attitude."I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood. Thank you so much for coming just in time."Elliot smiled and said, "Hey, I was worried when I saw you looked so bad when you answered the phone. It seems that I made the right decision to follow you. These are all trivial matters. I to
Shen Qingxiang disagreed.“I don’t think so.”"How is it not the same?"Shen Qingxiang was speechless.She stirred the straw but couldn't figure it out, so she could only wave her hand, "Let's not talk about him, let's talk about you. Is that Elliot reliable? I still don't understand why a rich second-generation kid would come to your secretarial department to do some heavy lifting. I've never seen such a strong-willed rich second-generation kid."Serena hadn't seen him either, but she said, "He has lofty ambitions. Maybe he doesn't see it as moving bricks, but as experiencing life. I've worked with him for a year and I feel he's a pretty good person, and quite reliable.""It's fine as long as he's reliable, but I suggest you find a reason to end it as soon as possible. Even if he's a good person, his background will involve many interests. To the outside world, you're the eldest daughter-in-law of the Forrest family, you can't complicate t
Chen Xiaoyu's modification was to put her comments into the report intact. For a whole hour, her main work was copying and pasting. She didn't change any of the data that should be changed, and her thoughts were not smooth at all. Apart from changing the tone of the comments to make it sound like she said it herself, she didn't have any other creativity.Serena clenched the empty coffee cup, afraid that she would say something unpleasant the next second. She knew that she was just here to experience life and not to work, and she also understood that she had only been here for a few days and was not familiar with the basic functions of a worker, but she still took a deep breath.Stay calm, control yourself, and keep your blood pressure steady, she told herself."Xiaoyu...what have you been doing for the past hour?"Chen Xiaoyu's answer was to burst into tears. She cried loudly, as if she had been suppressing her feelings for a long time and felt extreme
Secretary Xie lowered his head and followed Mr. Forrest out of the tea room. Everyone in the office could see that something was wrong.Luna raised her eyebrows, knowing that Mr. Forrest was going to find trouble for his fiancée.Chen Xiaoyu followed up in time and defended Serena, "Brother James, it's right for Sister Serena to be strict. This time it was mainly my own fault."James' expression did not improve despite her plea. He tapped Serena's desk twice with his fingers."Secretary Xie, are you always so impatient with new people?"It's a tone of looking for trouble.Serena replied respectfully, "Mr. Forrest, do you think I am impatient?"After replying, she looked up at him, her black and white eyes full of stubbornness.James met her gaze."If she doesn't do well, you can give her a good one and let her learn as much as she wants. What does she know if she just gives her a framework?"After these words were sp
The mailbox contains a packaged folder. After decompressing it, there are dozens of small documents.The title is simple: "Several Plans and Suggestions on Engagement Banquet"Serena was enlightened. It was the first time she realized that a simple engagement could be made more complicated and luxurious than many other people's weddings. These plans were issued by six agencies, including low-key studios, expensive big brands, and a well-known planner who never organized wedding banquets.Everyone was very creative and offered suggestions on the ritual, which dazzled Serena and made her feel heartbroken.James has matured, and his methods of torture have also upgraded. Isn't slow slicing much more painful than ending it with a single knife?Serena was glad that she sent away all the colleagues who wanted to help in time, otherwise her embarrassing appearance would have been seen by everyone.It turned out that she was not as generous as she
