The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 294

Poppy didn't stop, and quickly knelt down without any objection.

Chu Xing didn't raise his eyelids, and asked, "Is there anything to say?"

The pure wool carpet is very soft, and it doesn't hurt much to kneel down at first.Poppy lowered her eyelids and said softly, "No."

"Do you know it wrong?"

"I know I was wrong."

Chu Xing snorted slightly, and didn't continue to ask her what she knew was wrong.Presumably, he has long understood that no matter how high-sounding Poppy's words are, she will still remain stubborn next time.Poppy knelt straight, but she could still see a pair of white slippers on his feet from under the large desk, mixed with the milky white wool carpet, which seemed a bit lazy.

She heard him speak again: "Since you know you're wrong, then admit the punishment and kneel for now."

Kneeling like this lasts all night.

Chu Xing also didn't sleep all night. Because of her, he left a lot of official duties in the past two days, and he approved one by one, and it was already dawn when he looked up again.During the period, a housekeeper knocked on the door of the study several times, came in to pour coffee for supper, and saw Poppy kneeling on the ground without moving the corners of her eyes.On the other hand, Mr. Lu knocked on the door and came in early in the morning. He was slightly surprised when he saw her appearance, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. , Poppy knelt there, and there were not many fragments that she could hear, but she had been in the Chu family for ten years, and she was familiar with some official affairs so long ago that she could draw inferences. What Lu Ming said was the Cui family.

There are many kinds of businesses on the road, and the Chu family's business is the dirtiest and most shameful one.But mortals will inevitably be contaminated on the road. If they want to get rid of it, or want to do things more safely and neatly, they will entrust all these things to Chu Xing.When the Chu family does things for others, they don't ask about their motives, they only care about the rewards.In the end, if the victim wanted to find an enemy, he could just find a buyer, and it had nothing to do with the Chu family.

Chu Xing said before that the Chu family is just a knife.Whom to kill with a knife depends on the intention of the employer.How to kill depends on the intention of the employer.If the avengers still have some brains, they should know that when looking for enemies, they should look for people, not knives.

The Cui family is a new force in C City.It's a jewelry smuggling business.When the Cui family wanted to intervene in Dao affairs, the other families had to give way.This also made the Cui family more and more unscrupulous.

Chu Xing recently had a note that needed to be approved, and the person in charge happened to be the one married to the Cui family.This person's reputation in C City has never been very good, and his work is even more difficult to be famous.The Chu family's note has been handed in for a month, and it is still being refused approval.

Listening to the conversation between Chu Xing and Lu Ming, Poppy's thoughts were running fast, but on the surface she hung her head and remained motionless.

When Lu Ming went out, Poppy knelt down for a while, and heard Chu Xing's voice resounding like an ancient well: "Get up."

Poppy knelt up straight for the whole night, moved her body a little, and was immediately pinned down to the ground by the dense tingling sensation from her knee.

Although she has been training since she was 12, such punishments have not been many in the past ten years.Poppy has always played a docile and obedient character in the past, taciturn, agile, intelligent, and never disobeying orders, which made Chu Xing very satisfied, and there were very few punishments imposed on her.

Today's Chu Xing is still the indifferent Chu Xing, but she doesn't want to be that poppy who obeys unconditionally.

Poppy tried to move again, but still couldn't get up.Her posture with both hands on the ground was very ugly, and soon a pair of white slippers appeared in front of him, Chu Xing bent down and hugged her horizontally.

Poppy's eyelashes drooped and she said nothing.Chu Xing hugged her and stopped on the spot for a while, then murmured and said, "It's heavy."

"Impossible." Poppy was a little annoyed, "I'm obviously a kilogram lighter!"

Chu Xing was noncommittal, once he acted like this, it meant that he basically didn't listen to the other party's words.Chu walked back to the office chair, put Poppy on his lap and sat in.A few light and elegant porcelain bowls, porridge and side dishes, and two eggs were placed on the table.

He hugged Poppy from behind, peeled off the egg shell, and the smooth and soft egg reached Poppy's lips.Poppy froze for a while with a sullen face, then opened her mouth and swallowed the egg white without chewing it.The remaining egg yolk turned away and refused to eat it.Chu Xing didn't succeed after teasing for a while, so he had to swallow the egg yolk by himself.

After eating the two eggs like this, Chu Xing took the spoon and fed the rice porridge to Poppy spoon by spoon.At the end of the feeding, the bowl was empty, but he seemed to be interested, tugged at her cheek, and smiled a little: "Is it delicious?"

Poppy never raised her eyes: "It's delicious."

She said it was delicious, but Chu Xing seemed not satisfied.The smile disappeared slowly, looked at her, and said lightly: "Okay, go back and apply some medicine on your knees. You have nothing to do here."

Poppy quickly jumped down, lowered her head and said in a respectful manner, "That Poppy will leave first."

Chu Xing raised his hand, Poppy bowed slightly and took two steps back, turned around, and walked out straight.

Poppy knelt for a whole night, and two groups of bruises were clearly visible on her knees.Such obvious traces naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Li Zhi who was waiting outside the study, raised his eyebrows and stretched out his arms, quickly blocking Poppy's way.

Li Zhi is taller than Poppy, so the eyes that look up and down at the past are even more condescending and contemptuous.Poppy remained motionless and let her stop her, that submissive posture with downcast eyes did not bring enough satisfaction to Li Zhi, she snorted coldly and said: "It seems that the much-loved Miss Poppy has been kneeling all night this time?" ?”

Poppy said nothing.

What Li Zhi hated most was her appearance, which became more and more eccentric: "She has a soft and weak face, and her heart is more vicious than snakes and scorpions. She is indeed an illegitimate daughter born from a lowly illegitimate girl—"

"Sister Lizhi," Poppy's face remained unchanged, and she stopped her words softly, "Mr. is in a bad mood now, saying that he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone for the time being. Please wait here for a while, when will Mr. let you in, You go in."

"Don't do that. I know you're lying."

"Then you can try." Poppy was still looking at the ground, her drooping eyelashes motionless, "I know you don't believe me, you can just knock on the door."

She said every word of respect, and her tone was deliberately gentle, but she still couldn't hear the respect.Li Zhi glanced at her resentfully, then looked at the door again, bit her lip, stomped her foot for the last time, reluctantly withdrew her arm blocking Poppy, stood there and continued to wait.

Poppy blessed her body slightly, and left without changing her expression.

Chu Xing has not assigned many tasks to Poppy these days.To be more precise, even part of the power she had previously held was emptied because of Chu Xing's casual words.Recently, it has been rumored within the Chu family that Poppy was rebellious many times when she was on mission, and finally she was not pleased by Chu Xing. There are even rumors that Chu Xing is looking for a new girl who can replace her.

But to outsiders, Poppy did not respond to these changes and rumors.When Chu Xing handed over the power to her before, she didn't show any joy. Later, when the power was taken back, she didn't respond to Chu Xing other than bowing her head and saying "yes".

Poppy returned to her room, changed into light clothes, and drove out.

She drove a sports car, aimlessly and slowly spinning on the street at a speed of more than 40 miles.

This car was a gift from Chu Xing after Poppy got her driver's license three years ago.At that time, she was still young and arrogant, and when others said that Young Master Chu treated her differently, she really felt that she was different, so she boldly and willfully did many disobedient things, and made many demands beyond her duty.This sports car is an example.

When Chu Xing asked someone to bring out the car and drive it in front of her, she clearly knew that it was the style and color he personally picked, but she still only glanced sideways before turning her face away, with a disgusted tone: "Pink .not pretty."

She is the only one who dares to speak to Chu Xing in this tone for so many years.Poppy could even hear the sound of someone gasping not far away.However, at that time, she felt that this kind of voice sounded very good, not to mention that Chu Xing was indeed not angry. He twirled two round jade beads the size of eggs in one hand, squeezed her chin with the other, and asked with a smile: "Then you What color do you want?"

Later, the color of the car was changed to purple.The style has also changed, and the price is also a level higher.It was Chu Xing who personally took her to the car dealer to change the car.Then find someone to refit her until all aspects meet Poppy's requirements.

Then, half a year later, Poppy sees Li Zhi driving a sports car that is exactly the same as hers.

The price of this sports car is absolutely unaffordable.Poppy only wants one who can afford it and is willing to buy it for Lizhi.

Since then, Poppy has left the car aside to collect ashes for more than a year.It wasn't until this year that it was cleaned, maintained, refueled, and hit the road again.

Poppy circled the streets and alleys of the three urban districts, and finally parked the car in front of a guild hall.After entering, they went straight to the third floor, and there were already people waiting in the box. Seeing her push the door in, several people stood up together, smiling and complimenting: "Miss Poppy is very punctual."

Several people invited her to the main seat, but Poppy stood on the second seat and refused to move, with a respectful and respectful attitude: "How dare I take this seat, Cao Dong is insulting me. Your elder should sit on the top seat , if you have something to ask, I will do my best to help you."

Cao Yangdong insisted on humility, with a smile on his face: "Everyone in C City doesn't know that Miss Poppy is the eyeball of Young Master Chu. Even the main seat can be seated."

After declining for a while, Poppy finally took the second seat.Although there was not a single drop of wine during the banquet, she still seemed to be laughing at Yan Yan, and never said anything serious, until finally the waiter brought the fruit, and when Poppy swallowed a piece of kiwi, the other side pushed over a check.

Cao Yangdong still laughed: "This is half of the deposit. As soon as the contract with Young Master Chu in the west of the city is signed, we will immediately give Miss Poppy the other half."

Poppy glanced at the string of zeros on it and said, "I can't promise you that you will get it."

"It's natural, it's natural." Cao Yangdong smiled apologetically on his forty-year-old face, "but I really believe in Miss Poppy's ability. With Miss Poppy's status in Young Master Chu's heart, this Isn't it just a matter of hand?"

Poppy waited for Cao Yangdong to leave the hall for a while before leaving slowly.She didn't go back immediately, but went to the mall to buy another dress, cut off the label on the spot and put it on directly, then sent the replaced clothes that had a little smoke smell at noon to the dry cleaners, and drank something by the way Just go back.As soon as the car drove into the gate of Chu's house, the housekeeper greeted him anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Where did Miss Poppy go? I can't get through the phone either. The young master has been looking for you for a long time."

"Is there a problem?"

The housekeeper didn't answer, but said, "The young master is swimming."

Poppy said "Oh", turned around and walked towards the swimming pool, but was grabbed by the housekeeper. She turned her head, and the housekeeper looked at her, sighed almost inaudibly, and said, "Master is probably hungry right now. I'll go to the kitchen to order afternoon tea and send it over."

When Poppy brought over the black tea and pastries, Chu Xing was leaning against the pool with his eyes closed, his head slightly raised.

When Chu Xing's eyes are open, even if he bends his eyes and smiles, it feels far away from the word gentle.Now he is sleeping with his eyes closed, his eyelashes are wet with water, the corners of his lips are naturally hooked, and his side face is reflected in the swaying waves of the pool water, which seems to be miraculously soft.

Poppy was wearing flat shoes, and walked over slowly, barely making a sound.But when the distance was still one meter away, Chu Xing said lightly: "Come back?"

Poppy paused slightly, bent down to put the food by the pool, and said, "Yes."

"Where did you go to play today?"

"Go out and buy some clothes."

"Have you eaten lunch?"

"Ate."

"What to eat?"

Poppy's tone was steady without pause: "McDonald's."

Chu Xing turned his head and glanced at her: "Eat less nutritious things in the future."

Poppy responded and offered him the black tea with both hands.Chu Xing didn't pick it up for a while, looked her up and down for a while, and said slowly: "You haven't worn this dress before. Did you buy it new today?"

"Yes."

"It will look better with a pearl necklace."

After he finished speaking casually, he took the tea, took two sips and put it aside.Watching Poppy skillfully divide the cake into four equal pieces with a fork, and hold it with both hands.

She bowed her head respectfully, looking at him from his point of view, her nose turned upside down, her lips were red, her neck was black and white, with tiny fluff, her vision was delicate and distinct.

It makes people feel inexplicably bright.

This time Chu Xing didn't pick it up, his right hand suddenly put on her wrist, and then pushed hard, Poppy only had time to open her eyes wide, and the whole person was dragged into the water.

The screams that she almost overflowed were all blocked by Chu Xing with his mouth.The back of her head was gently blocked by Chu Xing's palm a second before she hit the edge of the wall.He took off her shoes and threw them on the shore.He leaned over and touched the soles of her feet with his slender and flexible hands, and then lingered along her ankles and calves all the way up.
