"Brother Zuo, you didn't just happen to be passing by. Le Yao raised her eyes and chuckled, it was obvious that he was waiting for her, but she wondered, how could he know that she was working overtime tonight?

Zuo Baixiao came back to her senses and looked at her gently, "I'm waiting for you." With that, he snuffed out the cigarette he had not finished and opened the car door.

Le Yao sat in, the car was warm, and the cold air outside was a world of difference.

Zuo Baixiao opened the thermos cup, and the warm hot soup was fragrant.

Le Yao's eyes were wet, except for her parents, no one had ever been so considerate of her, she was a little moved, but she was not hypocritical, took it and asked, "How do you know that I am working overtime tonight?"

"If you had the heart, what would you not know?" he said.

"Thank you. "The feeling of someone caring makes her feel so warm. Suddenly, she thought of Wen Yunting, and her heart sank slightly, wanting to drive that long and handsome figure out of her mind.

Zuo Baixiao said: "This soup is stewed by Sister-in-law Guo, and I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." He's been waiting here for more than an hour, "Drink while it's hot." On such a cold day, she didn't eat, she should be cold and hungry, thinking of her working so hard, he felt a little distressed.

Inside the car, the music is quietly blooming.

The aroma of the soup is pervasive, light and refreshing.

After drinking the soup, Zuo Baixiao put the co-pilot's seat back a little and took out a thin blanket: "You sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you arrive." ”

"No need. Although she had always been at ease in front of him, his sudden warmth and thoughtfulness caught her off guard.

"If you don't want to sleep, let's talk. Zuo Baixiao looked at her, her eyes were full of warmth.

The car, drive slowly.

Zuo Baixiao drove very steadily, "Youqing went to Australia yesterday. ”

Le Yao asked, "How is her body?"

"Good recovery. After that day, Zuo Baixiao asked Nano to take Zuo Youqing to the hospital to remove the remaining blood clots in the uterus, "The complexion is also very good." ”

"That's good. Le Yao said.

"When I came, Doudou had just fallen asleep. As soon as Zuo Baixiao mentioned her daughter, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise: "I will pick her up from school every day now." ”

"Has she been well-behaved lately?" Thinking of Doudou, Le Yao was very happy, she hadn't seen the little girl for two weeks.

"Very well-behaved," said Zuo Baixiao, "since she went to kindergarten, her personality has been much more cheerful," his hand fell on the steering wheel, and his eyes looked straight ahead: "She misses you very much." Knowing that I was coming to pick you up, clamoring to come along. The night was too cold, and I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I didn't take her with me. He knew that when he talked about Doudou, he would naturally make Le Yao soft-hearted.

"I miss her too. Le Yao turned his head sideways, outside the car window, the shadows of the trees receded, neon flashed, because it was a winter night, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, but it was even more deserted.

"Let's take Doudou to ski on the weekend!" Zuo Baixiao made an invitation.

Le Yao was silent, that day Wen Yunting dated the girl named Wen Meng, leaving her alone in the car, and then she went home alone, that night, he only went back in the early morning, with the smell of perfume that did not belong to her, maybe he was too tired, he didn't even ask her why she didn't wait for him, and naturally he didn't give any explanation for his behavior.

The day before yesterday, he went to the construction site, and when she left, she heard him talk to He Haotian on the phone, saying that he would stay there for a few days.

Le Yao's heart was already cold, but Wen Yunting's domineering possessiveness made her dare not rashly agree to Zuo Baixiao's invitation, because now her time no longer completely belongs to her, and she can't use it freely.

"Doudou has always wanted to ski, and if you want to go with you, she will be very happy. After Zuo Baixiao finished speaking, he was silent for a while and then said, "I will also be very happy." ”

Le Yao avoided his gaze and was silent.

After that, Zuo Baixiao didn't talk about skiing anymore, but told Doudou's interesting story: "The little girl is getting more and more cute, after going to kindergarten, she can sing nursery rhymes and be a teacher at home." ”

Thinking of Doudou's cute appearance, Le Yao's heart warmed.

When she arrived at Tianlu No. 1, Le Yao said goodbye to Zuo Baixiao after getting out of the car, the cold wind hit, she shivered, and then tightened her collar and walked in, but she unexpectedly met Wen Yunting at the elevator entrance, just his car passed by Zuo Baixiao's car, and drove in first, and at that time, Le Yao was saying goodbye to Zuo Baixiao.

"You're restless. He didn't look at her, leaned against the elevator entrance, and said coldly.

He should have seen her with Zuo Baixiao, leaving her speechless.

The elevator doors opened, and he was the first to enter, she following him.

The elevator door slowly closed, Wen Yunting grabbed her wrist, and there was irrepressible anger in his heart: "What do you have to do to be willing to settle down?

Le Yao was very uncomfortable, why did he have to be angry every time? Could it be that she was with a friend, and she also had to give him an explanation? Thinking of the heartache she felt waiting outside the hotel that night, she couldn't help but say sadly: "Wen Yunting, you are not qualified to care about me, don't forget, our relationship is only a bed partner." ”

Bed buddy?

Good irony.

His face was frighteningly cold, and he forced her into the corner of the elevator: "What if I say that I want more than this relationship?"

Le Yao raised her hand against his chest to stop him from pressing over: "Don't forget, you're about to get married." Speaking of him getting married, her heart ached faintly: "I think neither the Wen and Song families want you to have any scandals before you get married." She didn't want to be a little woman in the period of Ai Ai anymore, she could hardly see any hope in him.

"I don't care. Her words couldn't cause him any uneasiness, regardless of his X's scandal, he had already thrown it out of the clouds.

"Sister Ke Siyu cares. She blurted out: "It's women who care." Their relationship, no matter who is right or wrong, who takes the initiative and who carries it, they have already been sorry for Song Siyu. And Song Siyu is the one who is really hurt.

"Do you care, then?" he said aggressively.

The elevator has reached the fifteenth floor.

"No, it won't. As soon as the words came out, Le Yao's heart was like a knife, how could she not care? How could she not be sad? It's just that he never affirmed her, so what position did she care about, after speaking, she took the lead in getting out of the elevator.

Looking at her slender back, Wen Yunting blurted out: "If it was Zuo Baixiao, you would care, wouldn't you?" He was jealous of the existence of another man.

Le Yao stood in front of the door, her hand holding the key trembled a little, she straightened her back, and said categorically and duplicitously, "Yes, if it was him, I would care." ”

Wen Yunting's hand was clenched at his side, the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, his heart was slightly sour, and his eyes were full of anger that he couldn't hide: "What's so good about him?" He could clearly feel that she liked him...... Could it be that his feelings were wrong?

Le Yao didn't turn around and said, "He is considerate and warm, he treats people sincerely, he is gentle and kind, he can give me a sense of security, in my heart, he is better than you." But no matter how good it is, she doesn't love him: "Wen Yunting, you are arrogant, selfish, and don't care about other people's feelings, I hate you to the extreme." As soon as the words came out, her heart hurt so much that she wanted to cry.

It turned out that he was in her heart, but that's it. Wen Yunting's heart suddenly cracked, and he felt painful, but he mocked coldly: "Your words are very ironic, for a man who is mixed in black and white, with blood on his hands and stains on his money, who believes that he is gentle and kind?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of person he is, but he's good to me. Le Yao whispered: "That's enough." "The warmth that Zuo Baixiao can give her is something she can never find in him. As she spoke, she had already opened the door.

Wen Yunting stood at the entrance of the elevator, watching her close the door, a door, separating them, he was crazy with jealousy, but in the end he didn't follow him, but went back to his home.

Through the window, when he looked at the elegant light in her suite, his heart suddenly fell into an inexplicable fear, he was so afraid of losing her.

What to do?

The night is as quiet as cool water.

Two rooms, two lonely people, thinking of each other, in pain.

*

Approaching the New Year, major shopping malls and supermarkets have restocked, and the billing room is busy from work to work, and it is almost impossible to have a moment of idleness. Le Yao brushed away a strand of hair on her forehead and calculated the amount of today's bill in the computer.

Just as she was about to leave work, the sky was foggy and the rain was falling one after another, adding some cold air to the winter day.

"Le Yao, you go to the warehouse to help me borrow an umbrella. "Feng Mei is still busy.

When Le Yao came to the warehouse, she found some unfamiliar faces busy inside, she didn't care, she borrowed an umbrella from the warehouse management and prepared to leave. As soon as she turned around, she suddenly thought of something and walked in.

It turned out that they were erasing the factory date sprayed on the outer packaging of the milk powder and spraying a new date.

Le Yao was surprised, this is obviously expired milk powder, after they make it like this, it will flow into the market again, milk powder is a child's ration, how can this be?

Feng Meijiu waited for Le Yao not to come, followed up with the warehouse, and when she saw the busy people in the warehouse, she pulled Le Yao away.

"The milk powder is eaten by children, which is obviously harmful. Le Yao was angry.

"We don't eat again. There was too much indifference in Feng Mei's words: "What do you do with so much?" These things have long been commonplace for her: "What's more, although it has expired, it has not been opened, and it cannot be eaten." ”

"It is illegal to do so. If a child eats expired milk powder, then not only will he not get the nutrients he should be absorbed, but he will even harm his body: "Such milk powder should be destroyed." ”

"Illegal?" Feng Mei said sarcastically: "What does this have to do with us? We are just part-time workers," she snorted coldly: "I advise you to be nosy, that milk powder is only sold by our company, and all the goods are sent by other companies, just put in our warehouse, and go through our company's channels to sell them, think about it, who is willing to destroy such an expensive thing? If something really happens, it will not be your turn to take responsibility." ”

Feng Mei's indifferent words made Le Yao feel cold, Feng Mei is also a mother, she also has children, how can she say such a thing?

Later, Le Yao told Zhou Le about it.

After Zhou Le was silent, he told her not to make a public statement for the time being, and the matter would be handled by him.

The next day, Le Yao found that all the milk powder had been pulled away by the car. Later, I heard that the company refused to help sell that kind of milk powder again, and had canceled the agency contract with the manufacturer.

Ke Leyao was not happy at all, just as Feng Mei said, how could the manufacturer be willing to destroy such an expensive thing? If they don't sell it, then naturally someone will help sell it, and the milk powder will eventually flow into the market.

*

Since she broke up with him that night, Le Yao hadn't seen Wen Yunting for a whole week, and she also found that the lights in his suite had never been on.

Does he have any other home?

Or, is he at Wen Meng's?

The more she thought about it, the more troubled her heart became.

"Yaoyao, it's Wen's New Year's party in two weeks," Yu Peiling looked at her daughter who bowed her head and drank tea, and said eloquently: "This year it will be held in the banquet hall on the top floor of Times Ginza," thinking that her daughter would be officially introduced to everyone that day, she couldn't hide her joy in her heart.

Looking at her mother's expectant appearance, Le Yao's heart was very calm, she didn't like such a luxurious scene, and she didn't like the crowded environment, "Mom, can I not go?"

"No!" Yu Peiling vetoed: "Your Uncle Wen has already spoken, what's more, you are my daughter, how can you not attend?"

Le Yao was silent.

"Yaoyao, you just wear that bare-shouldered black evening dress," Yu Peiling looked at her daughter, she was already thinking about how to dress her daughter: "Don't be nervous, this year will be held in Times Ginza, most of the executives who come are Wen's executives and Times Ginza employees, you just need to follow me then." ”

In the cold winter afternoon, she spent it in Peiling's chatter, because she still had entertainment in the evening, so she left Le Yao very early, and after her mother left, Le Yao was bored and went to Ye Hui's house.

Ye Hui pointed to the computer screen: "Come and help me take a look," she said excitedly: "Le Yao, this is the invitation I designed, what do you think?"

Very elegant design, very intimate and eye-catching, but the words "Wen Yunting, Song Siyu" on it stabbed Le Yao's eyes.

"This invitation has passed the preliminary review, and it is only waiting for the final review of Mr. Wen and his fiancée. Ye Hui was very excited: "This time, there are only three invitations to the final review," she is very happy and happy, because no matter whether she will be accepted in the end, at least she has passed two levels, and she is very satisfied.

"Really? Congratulations. Le Yao said lightly.

"Originally, I wanted to include their photos on the invitation, but I thought it was too ordinary, so I gave up. Ye Hui said his design concept: "When people get married now, it's all red and festive, so this time, I took the fresh and minor route." ”

"It's good. Le Yao praised absentmindedly, but her heart was uncomfortable.

"By the way, Le Yao," Ye Hui approached her, very happy: "I got a ticket to participate in the New Year's party this year, and I have been in the company for two years, but it is the first time I have participated in the New Year's party." ”

"Really?" Le Yao was gloomy, looking at Ye Hui's joy, but she didn't want to go at all.

"Can you help me choose which clothes to wear?" she pulled Le Yao into the bedroom and opened the wardrobe, "I've been prepared." She reluctantly bought three evening dresses, "Let's see, which one is best for me?"

"It's all good. Le Yao was still wandering in his thoughts when he spoke, and he saw that his wedding day was getting closer and closer. And now he has never come to her at all...... It seems that she is a thing of the past.

"Originally, the senior agreed to be my dance partner, but the personnel department ordered that no dance partner should be brought. Ye Hui sighed slightly, and then said happily, "The senior has been in Dunhuang for the past few days. She envied: "I really envy him, he can leave everything behind and travel." ”

Le Yao came back to her senses slightly: "Did he go on a trip?" She hadn't mentioned Ye Hui mentioning Minghao for a long time, and she didn't know how he was doing.

"Yes," Ye Hui said, "Some time ago, I felt that the senior was weird...... Ask him, and he won't say. Just let me go and see my aunt when I have time. ”

"Is Aunt Ming's body okay lately?" Le Yao rubbed one of Ye Hui's evening dresses, the soft material felt good. Ming's mother has always been very good to her before, but since she canceled her marriage contract with Minghao, Ming's mother has no good face when she sees her.

"It's okay. Ye Hui said lightly, the last few times she went to Ming's house, Ming's mother gave her a bad look, and every time Luo Zhen was there, when she was in person, Luo Zhen laughed with her, but she sneered behind Ming's mother's back, and every time she was unpleasant. She also found that Ming's mother didn't seem to like her as much as before.

Le Yao said, "If the senior is not at home, my aunt will inevitably have to do housework, but she has rheumatism, so she can't get cold water, let alone blow cold wind." “

Ye Hui was a little surprised: "Don't worry, now that my aunt's housework has been done for her." ”

Le Yao was puzzled.

"Luo Zhen seems to be half the mistress of the Ming family. If it weren't for the promise to the senior, Ye Hui would not be willing to look at Luo Zhen's eyes twice in three days: "I will see her every time I go." ”

"Are they really together?" asked Le Yao.

Ye Hui shook his head, "The senior said that he didn't like her." Ye Hui said.

Le Yao felt that things were not as Ye Hui said, but she was faintly worried.

"Hey, Le Yao. Ye Hui didn't want to mention Luo Zhen, who made her unhappy, anymore, but compared the evening dress to her body: "You can help me see, is this white suitable for me, or black, or this pink?"

Le Yao really helped to look at it now, and in the end, helped her pick out the pink evening dress, "This is good." ”

"I love this one too. Ye Hui chuckled.

"Ye Hui. Le Yao looked at her happy appearance, and thought that there were some things that she couldn't keep hiding from her, so she said, "Wen's New Year's party, I will also participate." ”

Ye Hui asked puzzledly: "Didn't you leave Times Ginza?" Wen's industries are all over department stores, communications, and real estate, and the annual New Year's party is attended by the company's executives, outstanding employees of the year, and people specially invited by the board of directors.

Le Yao said: "My mother is Wen Dong's wife. ”

Ye Hui's lips opened slightly, and she was very surprised: "Le Yao, you're not joking." Before, I heard that Le Yao had reunited with her mother, but she had never heard her mention who her mother was, and now she was quite surprised when she heard that it was Mrs. Wen at first glance.

"It's true. Le Yao said with certainty.

Ye Hui didn't get angry, but smiled, very happy: "Your mother is Mrs. Wen, then, you must also be very familiar with Mr. Wen, right?" She pulled her friend: "Then when Mr. Wen gets married, can you help me get an invitation to the wedding?"

When it came to his wedding, Le Yao felt bitter in his heart.

"Le Yao. Ye Hui hugged her: "Okay?"

"Good. Le Yao couldn't bear to whiff her interest, so she had to agree.

*

Le Yao sat on the lazy sofa and watched TV, the remote control board was boringly flipped in her hand, her thoughts were a little confused, she closed her eyes, listened to the TV program, and then fell into laziness and gloom.

The phone vibrated on the coffee table, but she didn't even lift her eyelids, let alone think about answering.

After a while, the phone was quiet, but slightly, it vibrated again, and the buzzing sound made her feel upset, so she didn't raise her head, reached out and grabbed the phone from the table, didn't look at it, and answered: "Hey." ”

"It's me. Wen Yunting's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a gentleness that had never been felt before.

Le Yao's heartbeat accelerated, opened her eyes, and then sat up.

"Do me a favor. Wen Yunting is on the construction site of Biyuan, some time ago there was heavy snow, the construction site was suspended for a long time, this time was clear, and the construction site continued to start: "There is a document in the bookcase in my bedroom, help me see how long is the deadline marked in Article 5?"

Uh! Le Yao was full of black lines, and then said stupidly: "I don't have the key to your house." "I hadn't seen him for a whole week, and he was happy to call, but he just asked her to help find the papers.

"You have the keys to my house in the drawer of your living room TV cabinet. Wen Yunting's voice was extremely soft, so light that his breathing could be heard clearly: "You put it in yourself last time." ”

Le Yao was surprised, she remembered that he had given her a key back to her, and she put it in the drawer of the TV cabinet...... But that's the key to her suite. Then she rummaged through it, and sure enough, the key was still in the corner of the drawer, and the cold key was in the palm of her hand, and at first glance it looked like the key to her suite: "This is the key to my house." ”

"It's mine. Wen Yunting's side was extremely quiet, so quiet that his sighs were so obvious.

Le Yao took out the key in the bag, compared it carefully, and found that there was a different arc on the gear, could this really be the key to his suite?

"Don't hang up the phone, you go open the door first. Wen Yunting said.

Le Yao inserted the key into the keyhole, and sure enough, the door to his suite was opened.

"Take out the first document in the third folder in the second row of the bookcase, and help me see how long it is valid. He commanded lightly, and there was no indifference in his words, but only calm. In fact, in the past few days, he has been crazy about her, but because of the dispute a few days ago, he couldn't bow his head and say sorry or sorry to her, so he had to call her by this very inferior means. In fact, looking at the documents is just an excuse, but in the end I want to talk to her.

Under his reminder, Le Yao quickly found the document, looked down at it, and then read to him the information he needed, word by word, clear and soothing.

"Yaoyao, thank you. His voice was more gentle than it had ever been, and a thank you, which had barely been said before, came out of his thin lips.

"Anything else?" she was shocked, shocked that he had put the key to his house in her house with little thought he had put in his house. Is this his ulterior motive?

Yaoyao ...... "I miss you." But these three words, he suddenly couldn't say it. He missed her so much that he didn't want to go on like this. Her emotions and words affected his mood, and he had been irritable and irritable for the last week.

"Nothing else, I'm hanging. Le Yao's chest was tight, and on the phone, they were occasionally silent with each other, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't say it.

Wen Yunting wanted to keep something, but in the end he didn't. It wasn't until there was a beep on the other end of the phone that he hung up.

Le Yao looked at his phone in a daze, and then, putting his folder back in its place, and was about to close the door of the filing cabinet, he found a drawing.

If it weren't for the word "Biyuan" on the side of the drawing, she wouldn't have opened it impulsively.

The scrolled drawings were beaten to her, and what caught her eyes was a vivid picture of the green garden, which was exactly the same as the rendering of the green garden five years ago.

In an instant, Le Yao's eyes were wet.

It turned out that he remembered it all.

Her tears fell on the drawings, and her heart collapsed in an instant.

Did he really love her five years ago?

Remembering that he impulsively called her Derpy in front of her several times, could it be that in his subconscious, he really loved her five years ago?

If he really loves her, why don't he go to her?

Suddenly, Le Yao remembered that she had seen He Zi in the Peach Blossom Garden in the summer, and at that time, He Zi told her that someone had bought the Biyuan Garden, which had long been abandoned, and wanted to rebuild it. Could it be that that person is him?

Le Yao tossed and turned several times and finally found He Zi's phone.

"I'm Le Yao. Her voice trembled slightly.

"Sister Le Yao?" He Zi was surprised.

"He Zi, is Biyuan rebuilding now?" Le Yao was apprehensive, she guessed, but she didn't seem to be too sure.

"yes. He Zi smiled and said, "Sister Le Yao, I heard others say that Biyuan was built according to the pattern before it was burned. Even, the style and color of the house have not changed." Regarding the reconstruction of Biyuan, it is currently the most sensational event in Peach Blossom Garden.

"Who bought Biyuan?" Wen Yunting spends a lot of time on the construction site, is this construction site Biyuan?

"I heard others call him Mr. Wen. He Zi said: "It's the man who often comes to the lotus field in the summer, Sister Le Yao, we met last time, do you remember? He is very good-looking, but he looks very indifferent, I heard that in addition to Biyuan, he also bought the entire lotus pond. ”

Le Yao's heartstrings were plucked.

"Sister Le Yao," He Zi said, "When will you come back and see, a part of the Biyuan Garden has been built." ”

Biyuan, where she was born and raised, the place that was once called home...... After being burned down five years ago, he is now rebuilt.

"Sister Le Yao," He Zi suddenly became a little shy: "I get married next Saturday, can you come and participate?"

He Zi's girl, she has been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, when she was in Peach Blossom Spring, the He family and Lejia were excellent friends, and since Lejia moved away, the two families almost broke off: "Okay, I'll arrive." She suddenly wanted to go to the Biyuan Garden, which was being rebuilt, to see her home, to see where they had first met.

"Will you be back on Friday night? I want you to marry me. He Zi apprehensively sent out another invitation.

Le Yao agreed to He Zi. Her heart is no longer gloomy and silent as before, and it is suddenly alive. Just because he rebuilt the green garden.

He must be concerned about the past. Otherwise, it will not be unreasonable to buy land in a tourist area that has gradually fallen into obscurity and rebuild, after all, the possibility of rebuilding in the style of Biyuan is very small.

In an instant, her heart cleared.
