Seven's secret

The moment he approached, Murong Qing felt a creepy feeling.

The familiar feeling of fear to the point of despair spread along the soles of his feet to the top of his head almost in the blink of an eye, and he unconsciously took two steps back until his back was pressed against the door, and there was nowhere to retreat.

Cheng Qiao stared at his slightly slack pupils, his eyes flickered slightly, turned around and walked towards the desk by the window.It was very quiet in the office, so Cheng Qiao could clearly hear Murong Qing's breathing that was suppressed with all his strength, but still appeared to be short of breath.Cheng Qiao thought to himself a little mockingly, he was so scared that he even forgot to breathe just by being a little closer to him, if he was a little closer to him, would he pass out immediately?

That old man Murong He still died too early, and he hasn't even seen the big gift that he carefully prepared for him.

Cheng Qiao sat down behind the desk, pretending that he didn't notice the abnormal paleness on Murong Qing's face, reached out and knocked on the table, "Come, sit here. It will make you travel all the way to Foshan , it shouldn’t be an ordinary thing. Why don’t you show it to me?”

Murong Qing came over with weak hands and feet, almost collapsed when he sat down on the chair opposite the desk, and his fingers were trembling nervously.

Cheng Qiao endured it for a while, but couldn't help it, and sighed softly, "I thought you could come to me on your own initiative, at least it means you can trust me."

Murong said quickly: "I can trust Mr. Cheng's character."

Cheng Qiao asked him rather self-deprecatingly, "Really?"

Murong Qing nodded with certainty.His face was still a mass of bloodless white, but those light-colored pupils were as clear as clear water, without any impurities.Cheng Qiao was fascinated by these eyes back then, so he made such a face-saving request in the transaction.Of course, he didn't expect that Murong He would really agree to him at the time.

Cheng Qiao shook his head, "Xiao Qi, my old Cheng never counts on what I say."

"I know." Murong Qing's pale face finally showed a slight smile, and his eyes also showed a shyness of his previous overreaction, "It's not that I don't believe in Mr. Cheng, otherwise I wouldn't have run to I'm here to meet you. I just... I just..."

It's just that there is no way to control this body's instinctive reaction.

Cheng Qiao rang the bell to ask the secretary to bring two cups of green tea, then waved him out, then turned to Murong Qing and asked, "Where's the stuff?"

Murong gently opened the password box in his hand, took out a pair of pastel flower-pattern blessing bowls and placed them on Cheng Qiao's table.Cheng Qiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he carefully picked up the two things and put them in front of his eyes for a closer look.Then he raised his head and looked at Murong Qing with a half smile but not a smile, "Don't explain?"

Murong pursed his lips lightly, "The real thing is indeed a pair. But you also know that I am not familiar with the place here, so I dare not be too careless. So..."

Cheng Qiao bent his fingers and flicked the edge of one of the bowls lightly, "Is this your craft?"

Murong smiled lightly and didn't answer his words.

"If it's a pair, it would be more interesting." Cheng Qiao's eyes showed a hint of interest, "Sell directly or go to auction?"

"It's the best to be able to go to the auction." Murong Qing explained: "I'm waiting for the money recently."

"Oh?" Cheng Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Can you tell me?"

Murong lowered his eyelids lightly, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, "It's just that I have taken a fancy to a real estate and want to buy it."

Cheng Qiao looked at the young man with a slightly uncomfortable expression in front of him, shook his head and smiled, "There's nothing you can't say. Buying property is a big deal." He knew that after Murong Qing left Murong's house, he had no foundation, so he bought it for himself. Industry should not be so easy.

Cheng Qiao sighed in his heart, feeling that he was really old, to soften his heart so easily.

"The fake one is only left for me to make a sample," Cheng Qiao tapped on the table, "I will arrange the latest auction for you. I will take someone to pick you up early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Murong Qing felt relieved, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng."

"Thank you, I'm also in business." Cheng Qiao looked at him, with a deep and difficult look in his eyes, "Xiaoqi, do you want to come here and help me?"

Murong Qing looked at him with some surprise, "You know...I can't..."

"Still don't trust me?" Cheng Qiao looked a little helpless, "I said, I won't force you to do anything."

"It's not a question of whether you believe it or not." Murong lowered his head lightly and put the small bowl into the lockbox, and said calmly, "I just don't want to confuse others and myself. My situation...you know it too."

Cheng Qiao sighed, once again secretly hating Murong He in his heart.

Murong stood up lightly and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"Don't talk about that." Cheng Qiao waved his hand, showing a trace of fatigue on his face, "Go back and have a good rest. I'll ask Ajie to take you wherever you want to go."

Murong shook his head lightly, "There's nowhere to go, don't bother Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Qiao stood up and sent him to the door of the office, "Then see you the day after tomorrow."

Murong nodded lightly, with a faint smile on his face, "See you the day after tomorrow."

The office door closed, and Cheng Qiao went back to the table, picked up the cigarette case and lit a cigarette for himself.

Business has been relatively busy in the past two years, and Cheng Qiao actually has little time to think about the past.He is not a sentimental person, and he never puts too much energy into those fleeting romantic thoughts in life.To him, Murong Qing might have attracted him, but it didn't have any special meaning.But when he received a call from him, for some reason, Cheng Qiao felt that something buried in the depths of his memory crackled and broke through the dusty soil, and broke out at an extremely fast speed. caught off guard.

Murong Qing, he said to himself while holding the phone: Isn't Murong Qing the boy who followed Murong He back then.Such an unbelievably beautiful appearance, once seen, it is hard to forget.His personality is also weird and sick, I don't know what's going on now...

Cheng Qiao began to unconsciously look forward to meeting again.While looking forward to it, I turned over and over again to recall the situation of the first meeting.

In the few days before Murong Qing came to Foshan, he did almost nothing except smoking and being in a daze.

Cheng Qiao never knew that he remembered this person so clearly.

The first time I saw Murong Qing was at a banquet where a friend greeted Murong He. Murong Qing was right behind Murong He, nominally an assistant, but Cheng Qiao could tell at a glance that Murong He looked at him differently.From that look, he saw a man's deep-rooted desire for monopoly.

At that time, Cheng Qiao didn't pay much attention to Murong Qing. On the one hand, he hadn't figured out the details of Murong He, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself because of his misbehavior.On the other hand, it's just a pretty boy.In this world, as long as you have enough money and power, there will be no shortage of decorations such as beauties in your life.

What caught Cheng Qiao's attention was a small event improvised by the host after dinner.He took out a few pieces of jade ornaments from his family's collection, and wanted Murong He to show him the history.At that time, Cheng Qiao was sitting opposite Murong He, so he could clearly see Murong Qing's gaze lightly sweeping over those few things, and then landed on the unremarkable jade wrench in the corner.

Among the jade ornaments on the tray, only the jade ring finger is a treasure.

Cheng Qiao felt that the child was interesting at that time.Looking at Murong He Yiben's stupid look at those things, he felt inexplicably unwilling.This veteran may have some genuine materials, but his vision is obviously not as good as his little assistant.Well, the relationship between them must be more than just assistant and employer.How can such an old, stupid old thing have such an amazing character?

Unwillingness and secret jealousy came so strongly, when Murong He proposed to cooperate with Cheng through his friends, Cheng Qiao raised a condition without hesitation: Let Murong accompany him lightly for half a month.

Murong He agreed.

After get off work that day, when Cheng Qiao returned to his villa in the suburbs refreshed, what he saw was Murong Qing sitting on the sofa with empty eyes.

The moment he saw him appear, Murong Qing showed extremely strong fear.

It was a fear so strong that it didn't feel normal.It's not like facing a man who might have sex with him, but more like facing a ghost, a man-eating beast.It was a completely pathological reaction, which reached its apex when Cheng Qiao locked him in a corner and tried to peel off his shirt—Murong Qing couldn't control the spasms of his limbs at all, and went into shock.

Cheng Qiao was a little dumbfounded at the time, and quickly called the family doctor.

His family doctor has worked in Cheng's family for many years, and he is a very gentle old man.He unbuttoned Murong Qing's shirt, and when he saw the deep and shallow scars on his body, he looked at Cheng Qiao almost angrily, "I'm just the doctor of the Cheng family. I have no right to ask what the young master wants to do. But I I never knew the young master had such a hobby."

Cheng Qiao stood aside in embarrassment, not knowing how to defend himself, "Well...how did he pass out?"

The old doctor examined Murong Qing carefully, and concluded that he was frightened.

Cheng Qiao was stunned by this conclusion. Was he scary at the time?Is it really that scary? !

"When a person is extremely frightened, the adrenal glands will suddenly release a large amount of catecholamines. The catecholamines will cause the heartbeat to speed up, the blood pressure to rise, and the oxygen consumption of myocardial metabolism to increase sharply. Excessive blood circulation will impact the heart and tear the myocardial fibers , Heart bleeding. In severe cases, it will lead to cardiac arrest and death." The old doctor looked at him, "What's more, this child has been in a situation of fear and anxiety for a long time, and his mental capacity is very fragile."

After sending the doctor away, he sat on the side of the bed and looked at the sleeping Murong Qing, and suddenly regretted having caused such trouble for himself.At the same time, I felt a little guilty and distressed for the child who was so frightened that he passed out.It's just that he is more indulgent in his private life, not an inhuman beast.

After Murong Qing woke up, he asked him, "Did that old bastard Murong He abuse you?"

Murong Qing didn't make a sound.

Cheng Qiao originally planned to send him back as soon as he woke up, but now he changed his mind.He said to Murong Qing: "You stay with me for half a month. I won't do anything to you, don't worry about that. I think, compared to that old monster Murong He, you are more willing to stay with me. "

Murong looked at him lightly, but didn't speak.But Cheng Qiao felt a hint of softness in his cold eyes.

During those half a month, he took Murong Qing to all the antique shops in Foshan, and watched two auctions.Look at the real thing, look at the fake one, tell him your own experience, wishing to smash everything he knows and pour it into his mind.Recalling this period of time later, Cheng Qiao himself found it incredible that he was so patient with a young man who was almost a stranger.He even took Murong Qing to the botanical garden.

Some people may be born with such magical powers. He just stands there, saying nothing, doing nothing, which makes you want to show your whole world to please him.Cheng Qiao was almost terrified when he realized that there was such a heat burning in his heart that he couldn't control at all. He couldn't break his promise, he could only grit his teeth and fight against his desire, hoping that the half-month agreement could be fulfilled. Get over it quickly.

On the day he was sent back, Murong Qing took the initiative to hug him.Although it was just a touch, it made Cheng Qiao feel particularly excited-it was an extremely dangerous feeling, and it required strong self-control to barely contend with it.Cheng Qiao suppressed the violent turmoil in his heart, forced himself to pass a business card to Murong Qing calmly, and said to him: "You know what I do. If you need anything, come to me."

When Murong Qing took the business card, she opened her eyes wide and thanked him.

At that time, Cheng Qiao thought that he would never see this person again.
