Chapter XXIV: Handling
"Sleep? Do you want me to sleep next to a mistress who is still entangled with other men in front of me?
In the next second, Shen Xuyan's cold mockery and angry words stabbed Yan Ruo's heart fiercely, and the sound of the bedroom door that was vigorously closed in an instant was terrifying in the dark night.
In an instant, in the originally comfortable bedroom, only Yan Ruo was left, and the phone in her hand never rang again.
The night is still long, but there is always a time when the dawn comes, and people may not be able to find the existence of the dawn in the whole night.
When he woke up the next day, everything was back to normal again, and Shen Xuyan walked as suddenly as he came, as if the occasional warmth in the past two days had never happened at all.
"Xiao Ruo, did you quarrel with your husband? Why did you just let us take a two-day holiday and call them back?"
And Zhang's mother, who was concerned about Yanruo, asked worriedly while changing Yanruo's clothes.
In her opinion, Yan Ruo finally got along with Shen Xuyan, and it was really unfavorable for Yan Ruo to return to his previous appearance so quickly.
"It's okay Mom Zhang, I can come by myself, you can go and get busy. ”
But the parties with completely different ideas couldn't do anything but smile bitterly, so they wanted Zhang's mother to leave and let her be quiet for a while.
As everyone knows, this behavior is in the eyes of Zhang's mother, but she thought that Yan Ruo felt unhappy because of Shen Xuyan's departure, so she listened to Yan Ruo's words and planned to let her stay alone.
Waiting for Zhang's mother to just leave, Yanruo's phone rang again.
Yan Ruo, who was startled, thought it was a call from Shen Xuyan and had another convulsion, and was about to answer it, but found that it was not the phone that Shen Xuyan gave her, but her own original mobile phone.
The hum vibrated on the table at the moment, and an elegant piano song sounded slowly.
"Hey, Xiaoruo?"
When the familiar voice came from the earpiece, Yanruo suddenly felt the urge to cry.
"I'm here. ”
Try to regulate your emotions and try to keep your tone normal.
"I thought you weren't going to talk to me anymore, you hung up on the phone that night last night, thinking you might be sleeping so I didn't call again. ”
The other party's laughing voice was magnetic and gentle, which reminded Yan Ruo of the days when someone spent time with him in the past.
"How could I ignore you, it was too late last night......"
As for the actual reasons, Yan Ruo really can't say it, how can she say those behaviors that she can't accept and forgive herself?
"Yes, but I just got off the plane last night, and now I'm in the same city as you. ”
Such a brisk voice, with the warmth of the sun, made Yan Ruo flustered.
Are they in the same city now?
What if that is...... If...... If you let him know who he is now......
Due to Yan Ruo's distraction, the other party didn't get Yan Ruo's answer for a long time, so he called her a few times to call Yan Ruo's attention.
"What's wrong with you, by the way, why don't we have a meal together at noon today? I haven't seen you for so long, and now we are finally in the same city, so we have to meet each other, I'll book a place first, and I'll send you the address later!"
As he spoke, before he had a chance to refuse, the other party hung up the phone.
That kind of speed, it's like if you don't go fast, you will definitely receive a rejection from Yanruo, but the fact is that if you take a little more time, Yanruo will indeed refuse.
That man really understands Yanruo's temperament too well.
But now......
Looking at the mobile phone that had been hung up, Yanruo frowned.
After repeating it again and again, I decided to go.
Maybe this time we can make it clear, like that...... She doesn't have to involve another person in these things that shouldn't be accessed by others.
After talking to Zhang's mother, she asked the driver to send her to the restaurant where she ate, and was about to call the other party to ask where the room was, when she just turned around, she let Yan Ruo see a person she didn't want to see the most.
"Isn't that a coincidence? ”
Yun Man, who was walking towards him, had an elegant smile on his face and exquisite makeup, and next to him, was Shen Xuyan, who Yun Man had been holding his arm, and it seemed that the two were extremely intimate.
"Hmmm......"
Yan Ruo, who didn't know how to answer, looked at the arms held by the two and forced himself to calm down.
It's not that I haven't thought that one day I will encounter such a scene, and it's not that I haven't thought about what kind of attitude I should have after seeing it to be decent.
But now it came too quickly and suddenly, so she was not prepared at all.
"The bandages on your arms haven't been removed yet, so why are you running around? ”
The words of blame at any time, but from Yun Man at this moment, it seems that the relationship between the two is very good, and this is just an ordinary joke between friends.
"I just happened to have a friend, so we had a meal together. ”
smiled slightly, and replied slightly embarrassedly, thinking of the person who was still waiting for her in the private room at the moment, she suddenly felt ridiculous.
Why do you always encounter such an untimely state every time?
And then all the people who shouldn't be in the same place will always meet.
"Xiao Ruo!"
At this moment, turning out of the corridor, a man dressed in casual fashion suddenly shouted Yanruo.
"I said why haven't you come here yet, I'm going to come out and see ......"
The man's face, which was originally smiling at Yan Ruo, stiffened when he saw Yun Man and Shen Xuyan, especially when he saw Shen Xuyan, the sunshine on his face instantly turned into a serious state, and he was on guard.
"You made an appointment with him to eat here?"
Shen Xuyan, who had never spoken, had an unnatural expression when he saw the man, and then asked Yan Ruo coldly.
"Yes, I just made an appointment with Xiao Ruo to eat here, this kind of thing Mr. Shen won't have to worry about, right?"
However, at the moment when Yan Ruo was about to speak, the man subconsciously blocked in front of Yan Ruo, looking at Shen Xuyan, and anyone who was smarter could see the subtle change in atmosphere between the two.
"Preamble, who is this?"
Yunman on the side is also a business person after all, and when he saw that the situation seemed a little strange, he asked with a smile, which was regarded as easing the atmosphere by the way.
"Well, let Yan Ruo introduce me. ”
As he spoke, Shen Xuyan looked straight at Yan Ruo through the man, wanting to see what Yan Ruo would say.
He ...... He's my friend, Mu Chen. ”
Yan Ruo, who was watched by so many people, naturally would not really continue to hide behind Mu Chen like a little girl, bypassing Mu Chen and introducing it to the people present.
"Mu Chen...... You are Mu Chen, the president of Venucia Group.
Several people who came with Shen Xuyan and Yun Man heard Yan Ruo's introduction, and they couldn't help but look at Mu Chen a few more times, and one of the young people who was more impatient reacted the most, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Who is this?"
Hearing that someone seemed to know him, Mu Chen asked curiously.
"I'm not a big person, but I have a little friendship with Mr. Shen, and I just happen to know about you. ”
The other party didn't introduce who he was, but contrary to Shen Xuyan's attitude, he stretched out his hand to Mu Chen in an unusually friendly manner, smiling.
"Preamble, I think we're almost over, and you're still waiting for us. ”
Seeing that Shen Xuyan's face was getting more and more wrong, Yun Man on the side cleverly planned to say goodbye to Yan Ruo and the two first, but at this moment, Shen Xuyan didn't pay attention to Yun Man at all, and after introducing Mu Chen, he lowered his head and didn't speak Yan Ruo.
"Preamble?"
Finding that Shen Xuyan didn't answer him, Yun Man frowned and pulled him, which made Shen Xuyan look at himself.
"Yes, everyone is waiting. ”
Immediately, Shen Xuyan said something that surprised Yan Ruo.
"Since we met so by chance, why don't we have a meal with us?"
It should be a polite invitation word, but Shen Xuyan said it at this moment, I don't know why, everyone can hear that there is a strong provocation in it.
"It's okay to eat together, but I've always respected women's opinions, Xiaoruo, do you think we're going?"
Mu Chen didn't directly pay attention to Shen Xuyan's provocation, but politely and gently asked Yanruo on the side.
Immediately, Yanruo once again became the focus of everyone.
"I ......"
Faced with such a problem, Yan Ruo avoided Shen Xuyan's eyes while not wanting to look at Mu Chen's face, and he couldn't find anything to say in the dilemma.
In the end, as if he had let go, he raised his head and said firmly to Mu Chen: "I think we will eat it ourselves." ”
"Okay, since Xiao Ruo said so, then Mr. Shen, I'm afraid we will have to make an appointment for dinner together. ”
As he spoke, Mu Chen gently took Yanruo in his arms, greeted Yanruo politely, and then turned around and went to the private room they had booked early in the morning.
And Yun Man, who had been beside Shen Xuyan, just watched Shen Xuyan keep staring at Mu Chen's hand holding Yan Ruo, and the anger in his eyes was clearly visible.
Couldn't help but look at Yan Ruo's eyes with a hint of jealousy and hatred.
"Why were you so scared just now, this is not like you, Xiaoruo. ”
It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the private room and sat down, and Mu Chen poured a cup of tea for Yan Ruo, that he asked what was wrong with Yan Ruo just now.
"Also, what's the matter with your hands? I haven't seen you for a few months, so how did you make yourself like this?"
Looking at Yan Ruo's bandaged arm, Mu Chen's frown was a little deeper than just now, and his eyes were full of pity for Yan Ruo.
"I don't have anything, you have so many questions, which one should I answer first?"
On the contrary, there was no need to continue to face Shen Xuyan's words, and his emotions eased a lot, and naturally the expression on his face that was still sad just now had been replaced by a gentle smile.
"You......"
Hearing this, Mu Chen also smiled and shook his head.
"Xiao Ruo, you better go back with me. ”
Immediately, Mu Chen, who was not there, once again frowned, and looked at Yan Ruo very seriously, his eyes were full of undisguised distress and concern.
"Mu Chen, you don't have to be like this, I'm really fine, I know you care about me, after all, we've always been best friends, haven't we?"
