half water half salt

Chapter 89
Cheng Jia was drowsy when she heard the phone ring, she opened her eyes, looked at herself alone on Nuoda's bed, and sighed.

Pick up your phone.

"Cheng Jia, where are you? Everyone is waiting for you to go home for dinner!"

Li Ye's voice came.

Cheng Jia slapped his forehead when he remembered that he had invited him to eat fish at home.

"Ah! I'll be home in a minute!"

She quickly dressed, folded the quilt, folded Gao Zhan's pajamas, and placed them under the pillow.

——I don't know if I was tired from crying, but I slept surprisingly well.

When Cheng Jia returned home, the children couldn't wait to eat first, Gao Cheng went to do homework, Sicheng and Gao Miao were playing games in the room, and Li Ye was still waiting for her.

Cheng Jia said very apologetically, "I'm sorry! Li Ye, I... I got stuck..."

Li Ye looked at her red and swollen eyes, and said sullenly, "Where have you been? Why are your eyes swollen?"

"I lost my eyes, the wind and sand here is really big! I guess rubbing my eyes is too hard! Have you eaten yet?" Cheng Jia smiled.

"President Li is still waiting for you!" Sister Liu brought the food.

Li Ye kept staring at Cheng Jia, Cheng Jia was suddenly a little nervous, she didn't know what to say.

"Sister Liu, stop serving food! The fish is no longer good! Let's go out to eat!" Although Li Ye was talking to Sister Liu, his eyes did not leave Cheng Jia.

After he finished speaking, he stood up. Cheng Jia wanted to refuse, but Li Ye had already walked to the door.

"Cheng Jia, I'm hungry! You know I don't eat leftovers! Come have a meal with me!" Li Ye said loudly.

Cheng Jia looked at the bewildered Sister Liu, nodded with a smile, and followed Li Ye out.

They went to a restaurant near their home, and Li Ye asked for a private room, but the hotel waiter suggested that they sit in the lobby, because the private room has a minimum consumption.

Li Ye was a little angry.

"Then I'll order the minimum, and I'll sit in that room!"

The waiter immediately arranged a private room...

Cheng Jia looked at a large table of dishes and said, "We don't have to come in at all, the same goes for eating outside!"

"Then why didn't you say it just now?"

"I see you're angry! It won't work if I say it!"

Li Ye smiled: "Cheng Jia, no matter how many years you have, you still know me best!"

Cheng Jia blinked, smiled and stopped talking.

Li Ye also ordered white wine and poured a glass for Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia was stunned: "Li Ye, do you let me drink? You know I hardly ever drink!"

"No! You've drank, but you haven't drank with me. Cheng Jia, let's have a drink with me today! We've never drank together before!"

Cheng Jia was holding the wine glass, turning her eyes around, thinking about how to reject Li Ye.

"Don't think about rejecting me! I know what you're going to say! I want to drink with you today!"

Cheng Jia sighed, and she held the wine glass in front of her.

"Alright! Li Ye, let's have a good drink today!"

Cheng Jia raised the wine glass: "I will respect you for the first glass, thank you for your company and help for so long, and I don't say polite words, I will do it first as a respect!"

Cheng Jia readily threw his head up.

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia with focused eyes, as if he had some penetrating power—wanted to see through her.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Cheng Jia asked him.

"Why are you crying today?" Li Ye asked her in a low voice, his tone not allowing her to evade.

Cheng Jia lowered her eyelids, "Don't ask, Li Ye! Is there anything else I should be excited about?"

Li Ye picked up the wine and drank a glass by himself.explain:

"What's sad about you, you can tell me."

Cheng Jia smiled, and she felt her face getting hotter and hotter.

"What did I tell you? Say I'm helpless, weak, and miss Gao Zhan? Aren't you already helping me? You've helped me a lot!"

Li Ye smiled lonely when she heard Gao Zhan - after two years, she still cried so bitterly for Gao Zhan.

Cheng Jia picked up the wine glass again: "I'll toast you again! I invited you to dinner today, but I didn't come back. I'm very rude and very sorry! Don't bother with me!"

She chuckled and continued:
"It's useless to care about it!"

Li Ye followed suit with a smile: "Why would I care about you? I'm just a little worried. Seeing that you're not at the company this afternoon, I don't know where you went!"

They clinked glasses and downed them again.

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia's flushed face and said softly, "Drink slowly!"

Cheng Jia smiled sweetly: "Li Ye, let me tell you, I actually hold a good amount of alcohol! My grandfather is especially good at drinking, maybe I won't get drunk after a thousand cups!"

Seeing that Cheng Jia was a little drunk, Li Ye laughed and ordered some food for Cheng Jia.

"Eat something, not just drink!"

Cheng Jia ate it and felt a little sick.

She frowned, "I'll go to the bathroom! Wait for me!"

Li Ye stood up, trying to help her.

Cheng Jia stopped him, she went to the toilet, and spit out all the wine in one gulp, with a spicy taste in her throat.

After vomiting, Cheng Jia immediately felt her drowsy brain wake up a lot.

She rinsed her mouth, and when she saw herself in the mirror, she was taken aback: her eyes were very red and swollen, probably because she fell asleep after crying.

Cheng Jia shook her head mockingly: How could it be rubbed with sand when it is so swollen?This reason is too lame, no wonder Li Ye will ask.

She went back to the private room and saw Li Ye drank half of the glass by himself.

"Why did you drink it by yourself? Didn't you say you wanted me to accompany you?"

Li Ye looked at the normal-looking Cheng Jia, wondering why she suddenly sobered up.

"It seems that I underestimated you, you really might not get drunk for a thousand cups!"

Cheng Jia sat down, Li Ye respected her: "Thank you for helping me take care of Si Cheng, thank you for helping me take care of my house!"

Cheng Jia waved her hand...

They just drank a lot of wine like this. After all, Cheng Jia didn't drink often, and she got drunk very quickly.

Li Ye laughed at her: "Cheng Jia, who never gets drunk after a thousand cups, why are you so talented?"

Cheng Jia just smirked, patted him on the shoulder, then slipped into his arms and fell asleep.

Li Ye's heart throbbed. He hadn't had this hug for many years.Knowing that he was not a gentleman, but he still couldn't control it, he kissed Cheng Jia's cheek lightly, his heart pounding.

Li Ye suddenly couldn't bear to move.

After a while, the waiter came in to refill the tea and saw Li Ye who was holding Cheng Jia, standing at the door with some embarrassment, in a dilemma.

Li Ye whispered, "Check out!"

……

The night in Kangbashi is a little cold, and the streets are empty.

Cheng Jia was sobered up by the wind, she yelled loudly: "Li Ye, let's call a substitute driver! You can't drive!"

Li Ye looked at the drunken Cheng Jia, he didn't want to call a substitute driver, he just wanted to do this - so that he could get close to her.

Li Ye carried Cheng Jia on his back, "A few steps, let's walk back!"

Cheng Jia fell asleep again in a daze on Li Ye's back.

She cried a lot in the afternoon, and drank so much wine in the evening, she was in a daze at the moment, and she forgot where she was in an instant.

She felt that someone was grabbing her leg and wanted to knock it off, but Li Ye staggered and almost fell down.

"Cheng Jia, be honest, it will hurt if we fall!"

Cheng Jia felt extremely happy. Gao Zhan is so strong, how could he fall down?
She laughed: "Forget it! Gao Zhan, didn't you say that you can pinch me with two fingers? You still fell! When did you fall?"

She hugged Li Ye's neck tightly, shook it on purpose, and then leaned weakly on his shoulder.

Li Ye's heart tightened: Cheng Jia regarded him as Gao Zhan!
Suddenly, he felt that he had no energy in his body.

Li Ye put Cheng Jia on the chair at the bus stop.

Cheng Jia hugged him and smiled mischievously.

"Do you need to work harder! Husband, recite it again! Come on" - Cheng Jia yelled.

"Cheng Jia, you drank too much, I'm Li Ye!"

Li Ye moved closer to Cheng Jia, wanting her to see clearly.

Cheng Jia pulled him over and kissed him tenderly.

Li Ye's heart was beating wildly. This kiss brought a reunion after a long absence, and through the power of alcohol, all his sanity was destroyed at once.

Li Ye kissed Cheng Jia frantically. It has been 12 years. He has lost Cheng Jia for 12 years. 12 years is a reincarnation. Today, the reincarnation finally came back. The girl he had been thinking about day and night returned to his arms.

He sat down, held Cheng Jia in his arms, and wantonly explored the sweetness in Cheng Jia's mouth...

Cheng Jia felt a little out of breath, she pushed and murmured vaguely: "Gao Zhan, I miss you so much!"

Li Ye seemed to have been poured with cold water in an instant, and he slowly let go of Cheng Jia: her face was flushed, but his heart was cold.

He held Cheng Jia's face in his hands, and said with a heartache, "You didn't kiss me! I love you!"

Li Ye stroked Cheng Jia's lips greedily, and said in a low voice, "What I want is not a skin-to-skin kiss, I want you to remember me, I want you to love me!"

Li Ye suddenly didn't want to carry Cheng Jia on his back, he picked her up by the waist, and put her face against his chest...

Cheng Jia had a splitting headache, and she struggled to get up from the bed.

Sister Liu just walked in with the milk, "Cheng Jia, how could you be so drunk? Yesterday when Mr. Li sent you back, you were unconscious..."

Cheng Jia rubbed her head, she remembered that Li Ye said thank her, and then she didn't remember anything.

She smiled and acted like a baby to Sister Liu.

"Sister Liu, I thought the wine was spicy at first, but then I don't know why the more I drink it, the sweeter it becomes, and I don't feel it anymore!"

Sister Liu handed her milk.

"Don't drink so much next time! It hurts your body! A lot of things are waiting for you! Don't mess around!"

Cheng Jia put the cup back and nodded: "I see!"

Sister Liu's nagging made Cheng Jia feel very warm.She is like a family member. She brought up the two children and always helps her take care of their parents...

Cheng Jia went to work in the company very late, and she saw that Li Ye was already working seriously, so she quietly walked into her office.

In fact, Li Ye heard Cheng Jia's arrival.He pretended not to see her, Li Ye didn't know how to face her.

Mom was right: he can't be tempted by other people!Looking at Cheng Jia every day, he couldn't help wanting to get closer. Cheng Jia's attraction to him was still strong no matter how many years it took.

Cheng Jia opened the report on the desk and found that the inventory at the loading station was very depleted. She was surprised and immediately called to find out the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Jia was a little annoyed: Shen's three coal mines don't distribute coal normally, they always send less coal, and it has been going on for some time.

Shen Jialu is now in charge of sales, and Cheng Jia can guess what's going on with her toes?

She looked in the direction of Li Ye's office, then habitually looked at Gao Zhan's water glass, lost in thought.

After a long time, she called Xiao Li: "Mr. Li, let's clear the inventory recently, and we won't accept Shen's coal for the time being."

"Not at all?"

"Yes!"

Cheng Jia hung up the phone, thinking silently in her heart: Shen Jialu, Shen Jialu...

The coal in Shen's Coal Mine quickly accumulated. Although the nearby power plants are in great demand, they have cooperated with Pengcheng Group for many years. Suddenly, Pengcheng stopped sending their coal. Without a preparation plan, the nearby short-distance transportation can't absorb it at all. After all, the amount of coal shoveled down by the roadheader has to be calculated by truck.

Shen Jialu yelled and lost her temper: "If Pengcheng has the guts, he will never do it, let the train run empty."

As long as she thought of Li Ye working in Cheng Jia's company, she would feel anxious and depressed.

"Then how do we report to the chairman?" the assistant next to her asked her.

"Report what report? Are you afraid that you won't be able to sell coal if you have coal?"

Shen Jialu said loudly.

She didn't believe it anymore. Without Pengcheng Group, would all the coal rot?
