She figured that a man like him couldn't allow his vulnerability to be seen, so now he must have deliberately avoided her.

There is a place in my heart that feels very faintly painful, but at the same time, there is also a sense of grievance.

I can't love you so much that I don't have myself, if I could, maybe I wouldn't have the pain I have now, but I can't.

She felt irritated and restless, and she put her finger in her hair and rubbed her scalp vigorously. The ring on her finger struck her scalp. She put her hand in front of her eyes, and she stared blankly at the ring given by Qiu Yan on her finger.

Cai Yue was right.Xiao Tian was indeed avoiding her.He didn't even look at Xiao Ling for the time being.He called Xiao Ling.He said that he was going on a long trip.The time of his return was uncertain.It might take ten days and half a month to come back.

The week before he avoided Caiyue because he was angry with her, but now he didn't want to face her, he wasn't used to being like he was now, his emotions were repeatedly influenced and even controlled by another person, and he needed to return to a state of adaptation that made him feel safe and familiar.

Cai Yue was the opposite of him, she felt very uncomfortable with Xiao Tian's sudden and complete disappearance.Since the relationship was restored.It was often Xiao Tian who took the initiative to approach her, please her, and tolerate her.She slowly got used to him like this.I didn't want him to suddenly get tired.Withdraw.Hide.

It's been two weeks.Xiao Tian didn't come to her.Nor did she call.She began to be in a trance.I thought that the knot between the two could finally be happily together.I didn't think that the reality was like this.The contradiction between them was not eliminated because of the temporary opening of the heart knot.She didn't know how she should deal with and face her relationship with Xiao Tian this time.

"What's wrong with you and Xiao Tian." At noon, when eating in the company's internal cafeteria, as soon as he sat down, Qiu Yan asked directly.

She was stunned and lowered her head: "It's nothing."

"You're always like this, why do you want to hide it when you know you can't hide it?"

Yes, how could the contradiction between her and Xiao Tian be hidden from Qiu Yan's eyes. Soon after the poster was hung up, her relationship with Xiao Tian became cold. He knew that Xiao Tian asked her to leave him and she refused. If he couldn't see that there was a problem with her relationship with Xiao Tian, then he couldn't sit firmly in the position of the current president.

She smiled wryly. Sometimes I really wish your eyes weren't so poisonous."

"It's not easy for people to pretend to be blind." Qiu Yan closed his eyes as he spoke.

She snorted and laughed.Qiu Yan rarely had such a funny behavior in front of people.

"It's been almost half a month, and I finally saw you and smiled happily." Qiu Yan sighed and shook his head, and easily swapped the steak in front of him with Caiyue's steak.

She was a little absent-minded when she picked up the meal, and she took a medium-rare piece, and he knew that she had always eaten fully cooked, just like fried eggs, and she had to be fully cooked, because she had eaten an uncooked egg once when she was a child, and as a result, she had a stomach trouble because of her weak body and poor resistance.

She realized that she had taken it by mistake but it was not good to put it back. Qiu Yan made a timely reversal of her head again.

"Thank you."

He smiled as usual: "Thank you, I'll eat all the food on the plate." For a while, she was obviously not eating well and restless, if he could, he really wanted to order her to take good care of herself as a boss.

"Am I stupid?" She pursed her lips slightly, and said a little sourly.

"You're not stupid, you're just too persistent." He cut the steak earnestly, and his face was far more calm than anyone his age should have.

"Did you already know Xiao Tian's identity?" Their seats are in the corner, and the restaurant is masked by other people's conversations, so she doesn't need to worry about being heard.

He frowned slightly, she asked the question suddenly, he wasn't ready.

"Why do you ask?" Although it felt sudden, except for a slight frown just now, there was nothing unusual on his face or movements, and his hands were still skillfully cutting the steak.

"The previous notice of the Ministry of Commerce prohibiting the export of white titanium paints was sudden, there was no clue in advance to guess. You asked the procurement department to stop purchasing and importing white titanium without warning.

He smiled, and her mind was keen.

"It's been more than a month since this happened, why are you asking me now?"

She didn't answer his question directly, but asked another question that sounded unrelated: "Did you expect that I would have many problems with Xiao Tian?"

But he understood her answer, and nodded calmly, "I don't want to lie to you.

"So you're not in a hurry at all, I'm with Xiao Tian, because you know that sooner or later we're going to have a fierce conflict, right?"

He put down the knife and fork in his hand: "I'm sad that you said that." His voice wasn't as calm and unwavering as it had been.

Her hand also froze.Subconsciously, she seemed to feel that he was a little invulnerable.So she was a little too willful in front of him.And Qiu Yan was really a very thoughtful man like Xiao Tian.He often did things without a trace but was scheming.If she wasn't sure that he really loved her.He was safe and harmless to her.Then she really didn't dare to say that she would be unguarded against Qiu Yan at all.

"I'm sorry, I—I just went too far, and I apologize to you."

"I accept your apology." He picked up his knife and fork again, but his tone was still a little unsteady.

"I... I don't want to, I don't know why—" She was a little sad, her hand stopped cutting the steak, and after a second, she simply put down her knife and fork.

"I understand, don't think too much, after all, it's normal for your emotions to fluctuate these days."

He is very aware of her menstrual period, it is normal for a woman to be irritable and emotionally unstable before menstruation, although he often feels that he cares about her a little perverted and helpless, but there is no way.

Her face flushed, and the relationship between her and Qiu Yan was really speechless.

She is now dual-purpose.If everything is normal, she can handle it.But if something happens to her.She must be a little lacking.She never thought that she should leave Qiu Yan.But she has to admit that she is really reluctant.Not only is Qiu Yan inseparable from her.She is indeed a little inseparable from Qiu Yan.

And this kind of inseparable seems to have little to do with interests, but more about the heart.

He smiled at her shyness, and he admitted that sometimes he deliberately mentioned such a subject, because it made him feel close enough to her.

"I did know about Xiao Tian's identity earlier than you, but I don't want to say it, I can't say it.I hope this matter is told to you by Xiao Tian himself, not by me.First of all, because my identity is embarrassing.I don't want to be a villain.Secondly, I don't really know his true identity.It's just a guess.Can you accept me when I say this?"

"Hmm." She nodded, picked up her knife and fork again, and began to skillfully cut through the food in front of her.

"From my personal point of view, I didn't want you to choose Xiao Tian from beginning to end, so I wasn't in a hurry for you to be with Xiao Tian.

He was really helpless and heartbroken when he saw her with Xiao Tian.Just hanging this heartache and helplessness on his face and mouth.In addition to making her increase her guilt for him and increase his own embarrassment, is there any other benefit and meaning?

"I'm sorry. I was really just on the spur of the moment.

"I know, you don't have to explain." He laughed again.

The two of them were silent for a long time, as if they were both intently enjoying the food on their plates, until they were almost finished, and Qiu Yan opened his mouth again.

"I did guess a long time ago that there would be many problems with you and Xiao Tian, but I still have to say that Xiao Tian's feelings for you are true.

"Why would you speak for him like that?" Caiyue has always been surprised by Qiu Yan's generosity, and this time he finally asked.

"Because I know him, I respect him, and he deserves my respect, so I don't want to use some indiscriminate means against him. The competition between me and him, whether it's in the mall or in love, will be above board.

And, because you're a wise woman, and if I do anything, you'll find out sooner or later, and I don't want to get you one day, but I'm always worried about losing you."

She looked at Qiu Yan, and there was an irrepressible throbbing in her heart.Qiu Yan's words and expressions were very frank.But such words may only be said by him, and he can say them.Because there are few people who face an opponent like Xiao Tian.In the face of Xiao Tian's existing relationship with her.He can still say so calmly and confidently: He wants to compete with Xiao Tian in an open and honest manner.
