Chapter 32: The Other Side Besides Gentleness and Coldness
Han Lei raised his head inadvertently, just in time to see Qi Rui standing in front of the door, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he said in surprise: "Are you here? Come in." β
His expression was very natural, as if what happened just now was Qi Rui's hallucination, but in fact, nothing happened, and the awkward feeling in Qi Rui's heart came up again.
"It doesn't seem like I'm here at the right time. β
Han Lei stood up, welcomed her in, and glanced at her with a smile: "What do you say, it's time for you to come." β
Qi Rui smiled lightly, followed him and officially walked into Han Lei's office.
The office, like the dΓ©cor outside, has very little decoration and doesn't seem to have a single superfluous thing.
"Come and sit down, this is the first time you've come to my office, what do you want to drink?" Han Lei didn't notice her discomfort, and asked to himself: "Coffee?" I remember that you used to drink coffee, I got some Blue Mountain coffee beans, can you taste them?"
This is the first time he has mentioned the past since the two met, and the former in France was mentioned by him in such a casual tone, as if they had never been separated, and they were still in the romantic streets of France.
Qi Rui sat on the sofa and forced a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll sit down and leave." β
Han Lei ignored her polite words, pressed the inner line, and ordered to go down, before sitting next to her.
"It's not troublesome, how can it be troublesome. He sat on the sofa next to her, keeping a safe distance from her, and the smile on his face was kind but not offensive: "You heard it all just now?"
Qi Rui nodded subconsciously, and then realized that it was impolite to eavesdrop on others, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...... I, neither am I, not to eavesdrop and betray you. β
He was stunned for a moment, only to think that this unexpected episode seemed to make her have a bad impression of him, and he smiled helplessly: "What should I do, it seems that I am already a bad person in your heart?"
"No, you're not doing the right thing. She hesitated, but always felt a little insincere.
Han Lei's eyes lit up amazingly, he approached her slightly, and asked with anticipation, "Do you really think so?"
Qi Rui smiled noncommittally, "Actually, I'm here today to pay this back." So saying, she put the key in front of him, which she had been holding in her hand, and in a flash of his eyes, a pair of white hands flashed, and his eyes seemed to glance at her wrist, which was no longer the watch she had worn in France.
Han Lei ignored the strangeness in his heart, glanced at the key on the table, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't think you should refuse, this is your right, or rather...... Welfare. β
"But, I don't think I need ......"
"No...... But food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic aspects of life, and you say you don't need it, so are you not satisfied with this house, or are you unwilling to accept it because I prepared it?" After a pause, he still smiled and said: "You shouldn't have been to the apartment yet, so naturally there is no dissatisfaction, so that's the second reason?"
"Mr. Han, I think you misunderstood, I just think that the place where I live now is very good, I like it very much, I don't think I have the need to move, after all, the house is just a place to sleep, and it is good to live comfortably, as for where to live, or who prepares it, it should not matter. β
His body leaned forward slightly, his gaze fell on her face, and he nodded approvingly, "Since it doesn't matter where you live, why can't you live here?"
