Chapter 117: Negligence
Paul heard that it was He Haotian, and quickly got up and left his seat, he walked by the window, his eyes were aimed at Su Ziqi not far away, to ensure that she was in his sight.
"Haotian, call now, what's the matter? β
"Paul, I remember the last time I saw you in Hong Kong, you said that you had planned a clinic in Ruicheng, and it would take three months to prepare, and according to the time you said at the time, you should be coming to Ruicheng in a few days. If you come, we can meet again. After these days, He Haotian actually accurately calculated the time when Paul was going to come to Ruicheng, Paul was a little surprised, it seems that Haotian really attaches great importance to his friendship.
"But, Haotian, aren't you supposed to be in the United States? Are you in Ruicheng lately? Paul frowned, and then he was probably going to lie.
"Well, yes, I went back to Ruicheng a while ago to deal with a little thing in the company, of course, the most important thing is for one person. "He Haotian never hid it from Paul.
Paul's brows tightened, and he saw Su Ziqi resting on the sofa alone, and his expression seemed to be much more stable than just now, so he turned his head, looked at the airport outside the glass wall, and asked knowingly, "For one person." β
"Yes, don't be confused, I think you know who I'm for. Hehe. After speaking, He Haotian smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Yes...... Miss Ziqi. Paul couldn't ask any more knowingly, so he had to put Su Ziqi in the open.
"Well, yes, you probably don't know much about Ruicheng. Ziqi has been pestered by a man, Ziqi is too simple, alas...... , so I want her to remember the past, not entirely because of me, but I don't want her to continue to be entangled by this man. β
Paul listened to He Haotian talk about this matter and knew that the "one man" in Haotian's mouth was Zhong Zimu, although he didn't want to forgive Zhong Zimu for all the actions he did to Su Ziqi, but he knew that Su Ziqi loved Zhong Zimu, and it was not as simple as Zhong Zimu pestering Su Ziqi.
He Haotian saw that Paul was speechless, thinking that Paul was waiting for him to continue, so he continued: "Now this man is finally going to marry his family's fiancΓ©e, but he is still thinking about pestering Ziqi. His company was filming a promotional video of a physical instrument recently, and even asked Ziqi to cooperate with him, this person is really trying to deceive Ziqi insidious and unscrupulous. β
Speaking of these, He Haotian was very indignant, "So, I can't leave Ruicheng, I'm waiting for this man to completely handle the marriage, and then I'll take Ziqi away, leave Ruicheng, and completely keep Ziqi away from this bastard." β
Paul still listened quietly, without words. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Haotian also had plans to take Ziqi away.
He Haotian found that Paul still didn't speak, not sure that he was listening, so he called in a questioning tone: "Paul." β
"Haotian, I'm listening. Paul said calmly.
"No wonder you can be a psychiatrist, and you can still be so calm after listening to me. He Haotian shook his head helplessly when he heard Paul's calm words, he thought that Paul didn't know enough about what he had just described.
"Well, I've always been, and you're not unaware. Paul smiled.
"By the way, I just asked you if you would be coming to Ruicheng in the next few days, and you still haven't answered. He Haotian asked again.
"Oh, I've had some things lately, so I'm sorry I won't be coming to Ruicheng these days, I'll definitely call you next time I come. Paul could only lie to himself.
"Passengers heading to Singapore are reminded that your SQ899 is about to take off, please bring your boarding pass to Gate A3 and prepare to board. At this moment, the radio suddenly heard a prompt asking passengers to prepare for boarding, and Paul tried to hide the phone, but it was too late.
He Haotian heard the boarding prompt sound mixed with Chinese and English on Paul's phone, and was suddenly stunned, "Paul, you are at the airport." β
"Oh, no, I'm watching a movie called Serendipity. As a last resort, Paul brought out a popular movie about what happened at the airport in Hong Kong to dispel Ho's doubts.
He Haotian was really puzzled, because he had just watched this "Coincidence" with some twists and turns in the plot, "Oh, I have just watched this movie, and the ending is a little sad." β
"yes, a little sad. Paul chimed in.
"Paul~~" At this time, Su Ziqi's voice calling him in the distance sounded behind Paul, Paul immediately turned around, raised a finger at Su Ziqi, and made a silent movement, Su Ziqi nodded, and continued to snuggle in the sofa in a daze.
And Su Ziqi's greeting just now was also taken into He Haotian's ears, and He Haotian hurriedly asked Paul: "Paul, there is a woman by your side." β
"Uh...... , just a female assistant. Paul hurriedly replied, fortunately, Su Ziqi's voice was far away, and He Haotian didn't realize that it was Su Ziqi.
"Female assistant. You're not very skilled at lying now, it's Abby. Don't lie to me. He Haotian showed a little mystery, he knew the relationship between Paul and Abby, and he also knew that Abby had been chasing Paul, but he just didn't understand why Paul wanted to play with Abby.
In order to divert He Haotian's attention, Paul had no choice but to take Abby out to cover it: "Oh, it was debunked by you, okay, I admit it, I have some little secrets." β
"Haha, Paul, you have this day too, I thought you had been rational all the time...... , Okay, I said how do you think you're not in the mood to talk to me today, it turns out that you're accompanied by beautiful women, OK. So that's all for today's conversation. He Haotian didn't want to disturb Paul's good things anymore.
Paul was like a pardon, and no matter what He Haotian thought, he hurriedly agreed: "Well, okay, then that's all for today, I'll call you again when I have time." β
Paul hung up the phone decisively, let out a long sigh of relief, and then came to Su Ziqi's side, "Miss Ziqi, you just called me." β
Su Ziqi nodded wistfully, and when she saw Paul hang up the phone, she then stretched out a hand, holding a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant in her palm.
"I seemed to be feeling a little out of control just now, but I remember that a blonde woman had just taken us to the airport. Su Ziqi asked Paul.
"Well, yes, you were emotionally unstable just now, almost in a state of confusion of mental stagnation. So I didn't introduce it to you. Paul explains.
"Yes......" Su Ziqi weakly stuffed the necklace in her hand to Paul, "so I only remember now, that woman stuffed this into my hand before leaving, so that I don't lose it, and said that I should hand it over to you." β
Paul frowned and took the necklace in Su Ziqi's hand, and when he saw the heart-shaped pendant below, he was a little puzzled, wasn't this the necklace that Abby had been wearing on his chest. Didn't bby wear this necklace like a baby all the time?
Paul shook the necklace in his hand in confusion and rubbed his fingers slightly, it turned out that the heart-shaped pendant was a miniature picture frame, and in the picture frame was an intimate photo of him and Abby.
Paul kept seeing Abby wearing the necklace, unaware that it contained such a mechanism. Paul's heart suddenly tightened when he saw this group photo, and this was the only time he had stumbled.
Paul had always been very good at distinguishing between women and women, but only once, after a studio party, he and Abby had drunk too much, and when he sobered up, he found himself and Abby in a hotel bed.
This is nothing to him and Abby, who have an open tradition and mind, but Paul is still embarrassed because he can have an intimate relationship with any woman he doesn't like, Bby is his trusted partner, but she is neither the object of his casual affection, nor the woman he has seriously loved.
And now he had seen an intimate photo of him with Abby that day, which he had never seen before, and he had never known that Abby's necklace pendant actually contained their photo.
It seems that Abby still has a heart, and remembers that day, Paul was still a little frustrated, he was worried that his concern for Abby would change, but Abby just laughed and said that it was alcohol and played a joke on them. Now, it seems, Abby is still serious about the matter.
And just now, he was only concerned with taking his luggage, but he didn't see Abby stuffing this thing into Ziqi's hand.
Paul pursed his sexy lips, a dull glint in his blue eyes. It seems that Abby doesn't care about his feelings for himself as he thinks, and he doesn't want to be as indifferent to his attitude towards himself as he thinks.
Such a thing with such a special meaning to Abby, she did not give it to herself directly, but asked Su Ziqi to hand it over, which shows that she cares very much about Su Ziqi's interaction with herself, and at the same time, it is also a silent declaration of war and temptation to Su Ziqi.
The most important thing is that she is beginning to declare to herself that her next behavior will change, whether it is passionate or intense, in short, Abby will no longer seem to be indifferent and obedient as before.
Paul began to blame himself for his negligence, he had always thought that Abby was the safest woman to stay with him as an assistant for a long time, because she was not as self-righteous and demanding as other women who fell in love with him, and now it seemed that he was wrong, he forgot that she was a good psychiatrist, and that she could be deliberately disguised.
"Paul, is she your girlfriend? I'm so sorry she misunderstood us. Hence the anger. Su Ziqi felt very embarrassed at the moment, she was so careless that she didn't even ask Paul if he had a girlfriend and whether it was inconvenient to help her.
Paul hurriedly shook his head, "No, Ziqi, I don't have a girlfriend at the moment, don't worry about it." The woman you just saw, her name is Abby, and she's my assistant. Because you were in a very bad mood at the time, I didn't introduce you. β
"But ......," Su Ziqi pointed to the necklace in Paul's hand. Su Ziqi is not stupid, thinking that Abby's behavior is a challenge to herself, she naturally knows that Abby must like Paul.
Paul put away the gloomy look in his eyes, he knew that the more complicated his expression was, the more it would increase Su Ziqi's psychological burden, so Paul smiled lightly, lifted the necklace and said, "This is a small accident." We didn't take it to heart at the time, and now it's just a small situation, so don't worry. β
"Abby, she ......" Su Ziqi had a look of guilt in her eyes, her wish to leave had been fulfilled, but she was not having a good time now, and it also affected Paul.
"Abby, she's just on a whim, don't worry. As he spoke, Paul shook Su Ziqi's hand, "Ziqi, trust me, I don't need to deceive you. Well, it's already time to board the plane, let's go. β
Su Ziqi looked at the gate that had been opened, exhaled deeply, then nodded, and walked towards the gate with Paul.
