Chapter 1

There were still ten minutes before the concert, and the makeup artist touched up Shengxias makeup.

From the makeup mirror, Shengxia saw her agent Min Yu, who was walking towards this side in a hurry.

After a busy night, Min Yu finally had time to rest. She leaned against the dressing table and took a few photos of Shengxia, preparing to give benefits to fans.

"Your cherry red lips, tsk, its deadly, few men can resist it."

Min Yu just sighed casually.

Shengxia: "Third brother can."

There was still a makeup artist, so Min Yu didnt say anything more and started looking through the photos.

Third brother, the third child of the Ren family, Ren Yandong.

Min Yu and Ren Yandong had been at odds since childhood, and now she still couldnt stand men like him. She often said: Why didnt I beat him to death when I was a child?

But Shengxia liked him. She basically didnt like to complain about that man now, but the prejudice still remained.

Shengxias second sentence was: "Is he not here yet?"

Min Yu hesitated for a moment, "He is here."

This white lie was originally intended to let Shengxia play well on the stage without being affected, but Shengxia still captured the hesitation in the mirror.

Her personal violin global concert lasted for a year and a half, and she went to ten countries, twenty-nine cities, and a total of thirty shows.

The first stop was Beijing, and the last stop was also Beijing.

Among the thirty shows, Ren Yandong attended twice, the first one, and the one in New York.

Today was the last concert, and he had promised to come.

The concert would start in five minutes. Shengxia looked at her dress in the mirror and found nothing wrong. She handed her phone to Minyu for safekeeping and turned to the stage.

"Your third brother sent a message." Minyus phone vibrated.

Shengxia paused and turned around, "What did he say?"

Minyu read the message: "Im here."

Shengxia: "No need to reply."

Minyu made an OK gesture, "Baby, come on."

The confident and proud figure stepped into the front.

Shengxias concerts never had a host, and she didnt say too much.

When the beautiful figure stood on the stage, applause rang out in the concert hall, and then it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Standing on the stage, Shengxias world was only the violin and the song she was going to play.

There was a vast expanse of space in front of her, sometimes it was an ocean, sometimes it was an endless grassland.

Sometimes, it was an endless, desolate desert.

Shengxia brought an auditory feast. When the last song ended and she walked to the front of the stage to thank the audience, the audience suddenly realized that the two-hour concert was over.

Min Yu sat in the last row of the concert hall and returned to the backstage as quickly as possible. She gave Shengxia a hug and said, "Tonight is the best time for you in the 30 performances."

She handed the phone to Shengxia, and another message came in. It was Ren Yandong: [I have another social event, it will be very late, you go to bed when you get home. ]

Min Yu was about to ask her if Ren Yandong had sent another message, and someone came in at the door.

It was Shengxias mother, Ms. Xia, holding a large bouquet of roses.

"Mom." Shengxia turned off the phone screen.

Ms. Xia: "Yandong gave it to you. He is receiving a business delegation tonight. He ran out to listen to your performance in the middle of the banquet and rushed back as soon as it was over."

Shengxia took the rose and put it on the dressing table.

Ms. Xia opened her phone and found the video: "Your father just recorded it and sent it to you, congratulating you on the success of your concert."

Her father was very busy and had a special status, so he had never heard her live concert.

Ms. Xia looked at her watch, "Its late, you and Min Yu should go back early, mom is also back, there is a financial interview tomorrow, I will go back to prepare."

Shengxia asked casually: "A financial magazine interviewed you?"

Ms. Xia: "No, its an interview program on the financial channel."

After chatting with her daughter for a few words, Ms. Xia left in a hurry.

Her mother is a university finance professor and an independent director of several listed groups.

Both parents are very busy, Shengxia has long been accustomed to it, and it seems that she has never been disappointed.

Min Yu took Shengxias coat: "Ill take you home."

Shengxia didnt let him, "You should go back early too, just have a driver."

Min Yu didnt have to be polite to her, and made a phone call gesture.

It was almost midnight when Shengxia returned home. She took a quick shower and was about to go to bed when Min Yu called her again. She was so sleepy that she couldnt open her eyes. She didnt hear what Min Yu said later.

"Shengxia?" Min Yu shouted when she heard no response from the other end.

Still no movement, she had to hang up the phone.

Shengxia had a dream. In the dream, the popular actress Shang Ziqing stole her man and cheated on her.

With her temper, she must have carried a 50-meter-long sword, used the first 25 meters to deal with Shang Ziqing, and then used the remaining 25 meters to chop Ren Yandong directly.

But in the dream, she was crying and looking at Ren Yandong heartbroken.

WeChat messages kept vibrating, and finally woke up the cowardly her in the dream.

Before opening her eyes, Shengxia kicked hard at the side, but there was no one, so she kicked nothing.

She opened her eyes and was in a trance for a moment. Ren Yandong hadnt come back yet.

Just now, she was in tears in her dream. She quickly touched her face and found no tears. That was right.

But the scene in the dream was too real. Although she woke up, the despair had not completely dissipated and the remaining pain was still there.

She was too tired today. She fell asleep in bed after taking a shower, and half of her body was still outside the quilt.

She rolled up the quilt and blocked her heart. It was still cold there, the sequelae of the nightmare.

After a while, Shengxia thought about the dream.

In reality, Shang Ziqing took away the endorsement that originally belonged to her, a big brand skin care product advertising endorsement, it was definitely her, but someone else was replaced at the last minute.

Before going to bed, Min Yu called her to tell her that her endorsement was taken away. Min Yu scolded Shang Ziqing from her hair to the tip of her toes painted with red nail polish.

Later, she fell asleep on the phone, and Min Yu stopped.

Then there was that dream.

WeChat was still vibrating non-stop. Shengxia grabbed her phone. Many of them were from friends. The last three were from Min Yu. She glanced at the time. It was already two oclock in the morning.

Ren Yandong hadnt come back yet.

She opened WeChat. Min Yu: [Ill pick you up at seven oclock tomorrow morning to shoot the magazine cover. Remember to put on a mask and drink less water. ]

This message was two hours ago.

Then the second message, Min Yu: [Shang Ziqing, that woman, deliberately suppressed you. This is not the first time. You didnt want to care about it before, so I was too lazy to punish her. Dont stop me this time. Its useless to stop. ]

The third message, Min Yu: [You are on the hot search. Its not negative news. I dont care. Its not easy for everyone now. Staring at the phone all day, your eyes are easily tired. Just treat it as free eye drops and benefit mankind. ]

Shengxia still remembers Min Yus classic quote: People nowadays can be without a partner, and its not a big deal, but they cant be without a phone.

What do you need a phone for? Read gossip.

She clicked on the hot search on Weibo, and the first one was her.

#Tang Dynasty vase, a smile that captivates the city#

At first glance, the hot search title has nothing to do with her. The title is written like this because her Weibo introduction is: an exquisite vase unearthed in the Tang Dynasty.

Min Yu said that although she is a vase, it is also a priceless vase, antique level.

Shengxia clicked on the specific content of the hot search, and the picture was her on the stage of her personal violin concert tonight. When the last song ended and she thanked the audience, she smiled slightly at the audience.

There were netizens commenting below, the sexiest woman, the sexiest smile.

These photos tonight have attracted a lot of fans.

This smile, she was facing the guest seats below the stage, the direction where Ren Yandong was.

Unconsciously thinking of the previous dream, Shengxia kicked the bed hard on his side, and then the bedroom door opened.

She turned around and made eye contact with the person who came in.

Ren Yandong had a black suit on his arm, and a few buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned. There was a bit of fatigue between his eyebrows, but it did not affect his dignity at all.

His expression was always dull.

Shengxia seemed to be smiling and explained the kick just now: "This is the legendary open sesame, isnt it amazing?"

Ren Yandong: "..." He glanced at her and didnt answer.

She usually blamed him for any bad dreams she had, not once or twice.

After hanging up his suit and walking to the bedside table, he took out his mobile phone to charge it, and then slowly began to take off his watch.

Shengxia took his pillow and stuffed it behind her back to lean on it, then reached out her hand, and Ren Yandong just took off his watch, looked at her, and put the watch on her wrist.

Shengxia liked to wear his watch for a while when she had nothing to do. She smelled the smell of alcohol on him, "Did you drink?"

Ren Yandong began to unbutton his shirt, "Yeah."

Shengxia: "How many drinks did you drink?"

"Not drunk." Ren Yandong turned and went to the bathroom.

Shengxia played with the watch for a while, but it was boring. She put the watch on the bedside table for him, turned off the bedside lamp on her side, and went to sleep.

Most of the time, the relationship between her and Ren Yandong was like a stagnant pool of water. Only when they were in bed, there would be waves.

When Min Yu knew that she was with Ren Yandong, he was heartbroken for several days.

Min Yu was very disappointed: Shengxia, how can you be so depressed? You found an iceberg to hug in your arms, didn’t you freeze to death? !

I have known Ren Yandong since I was a child. He is a heartless man, you know? You cried for three days and three nights because you were wronged, and he thought there was something wrong with your tear glands.

When I was a child, why didn’t I beat Ren Yandong to death to save you from trouble.

…

When Ren Yandong came out of the bathroom, Shengxia was already sleeping in the quilt, with her back facing him.

He turned his phone to silent, turned off the lights, and lay down.

Shengxia was not actually asleep, and she felt someone lying down behind her.

After a while, she turned around.

Ren Yandong was lying flat on his back, his voice slightly hoarse, "Not asleep?"

"I slept." She stretched out her foot and kicked his leg, pretending to apologize: "Sorry, my legs are too long, and they stretched to your side."

Ren Yandong raised his hand and turned on the wall lamp a little, just enough to illuminate the head of the bed.

He covered Shengxia, lifted her head, and put his arm under her head, holding her in his arms.

He had a unique and clear breath, mixed with the smell of red wine, and Shengxia was a little intoxicated. She liked to have light when communicating, and Ren Yandong did the same, and liked to look into her eyes.

Many women in the circle often discussed Ren Yandong, saying that no matter which woman, being hugged and kissed by a man like Ren Yandong, without doing anything else, was enough to reach the peak.

Later, someone else said that being stared at by him , looking at each other affectionately for a few minutes, you can reach the peak.

Shengxia felt that she had not reached the peak yet, but she was really moved, both physically and mentally.

The light was a little dim, and Ren Yandongs facial features were more profound and sharp, and his eyes were deep and bottomless.

Shengxia put her arms around his neck, hugged him, looked at him, and whispered: "Do you miss me?"

Ren Yandong lowered his head and held her lips in his mouth, and the remaining injuries from the previous disappointing dream were completely healed.

When she was in his arms, Shengxia thought of the previous dream again. If it really happened, would she be desperate?

However, with his determination and restraint, he would not cheat.

It was just that his heart was a little cold, even indifferent.

Ren Yandong looked into her eyes and found that she was distracted.

Next, Shengxia was naturally punished.

Ren Yandong kept kissing her and didnt give her a chance to speak.

Maybe it was because they hadnt seen each other for almost a month, Shengxia felt that Ren Yandong was particularly considerate of her feelings today, kissing, hugging... all to accommodate her.

Finally, Shengxia buried her face in his neck, and couldnt calm down for a long time.

Ren Yandongs voice was a little hoarse, "Do you want to take a shower?"

Shengxia shook her head, "Im tired."

Ren Yandong said nothing more and turned off the lights.

The room was like a night curtain, dark.

Shengxia had a habit that she had to let Ren Yandong hold her in his arms after every communication until she fell asleep...

The next day.

She had to go to shoot a magazine cover at seven oclock, and the alarm started ringing on time at six oclock.

For the first time, Shengxia got up earlier than Ren Yandong. After turning off the alarm, she turned around and patted Ren Yandongs arm.

Ren Yandong subconsciously raised his hand and took her into his arms.

Shengxias face was buried right in his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

After dozing off for another two minutes, she did not dare to sleep deeply. After getting up, she could not find her pajamas, which were so thin that they could not be any thinner. She must have taken them off at Ren Yandongs place last night and was pressed under him.

Shengxia went to the cloakroom barefoot and found a shirt of Ren Yandong to put on, which just covered her legs. She buttoned a few buttons casually while walking.

She liked to go barefoot in the bedroom. The bathroom was tiled, so she customized a carpet with her favorite patterns and colors, and laid it from the sink to the bathroom door every time.

She was too tired from the performance last night and was too lazy to do it.

She took the carpet from the shelf and laid it.

After washing, when she went out, the person on the bed had already gotten up and there was no one in the room.

Shengxia applied a moisturizing mask and opened the curtains.

In the swimming pool in the yard, Ren Yandong was swimming.

It was already the end of November. Even if the water in the pool was kept at a constant temperature, the temperature outdoors was not high, so he did not feel cold.

After appreciating the male beauty for a while, she took off the mask and did basic skin care.

Min Yu always had a strong sense of time. If he said he would pick her up at 7 oclock, he would never come a minute earlier.

It was only 6:40 now, and Shengxia was curled up on the sofa and browsing her phone.

A few hours later, her trending search disappeared.

She searched the title again, but even the photo was gone.

She couldnt think of anyone else who could do this except the one who was swimming in the yard.
