Humble House.

Expensive crystal chandeliers sit quietly on the roof, casting the glorious and beautiful light and shadow, and the right amount of light music makes the whole VIP room look particularly warm and elegant.

"Something?" Song Siyu's gaze fell on him with a hint of inquiry, her hand held the water glass, her slender wrist shook slightly, the water in the cup swung in a beautiful circle with the shaking arc, and when she spoke, she was half-leaning on the spiral stairwell in the VIP hall, her head tilted slightly, waiting for his answer.

Wen Yunting stood leisurely in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, his eyes fell on the charming river scenery outside the humble house, he didn't answer her, it seemed that silence was synonymous with him.

"What's wrong?" Song Siyu elegantly picked up the cup, took a sip, and a faint smile spread on her lips: "When did Wen Shao become sentimental?" quipped with a smile: "What, knowing that I am leaving tomorrow, should I be reluctant!"

Siyu's words, listening to Wen Yunting's ears, did not cause a trace of waves, at this time, his thoughts were the playful and lovely smile he saw in the garden of the humble house, when she smiled, her emaciated face looked extremely vivid, fresh and lovely.

But that playful and cute, but when the eyes met him, he instantly became indifferent. He found that the woman outside just now, even if she didn't speak, even if she didn't look at him at all afterwards, he felt that she was covered in thorns, and could burn anyone at any moment.

It's a strange feeling.

He and her, however, met a few times unexpectedly.

In the stairwell, she rolled down in embarrassment, her hair scattered and her face covered and cried;

On the street, she was black and slender, anxious to hail a taxi;

In the pantry, she was pale and retching;

Peach Blossom Paradise Lotus Field, passing by, he recognized her;

In the garden of the humble house, she stood quietly with her eyes down, silent, but with thorns all over her body.

Wen Yunting sighed slightly in his heart, but in the next moment, he found that something was wrong with him:

How could he clearly remember every encounter with her?

She didn't seem to have spoken to him, except for the apology that choked up in the stairwell.

Could it be......

Could it be that he hasn't touched a woman for too long?

There is always no shortage of different types of beautiful women around him, and that woman can only be said to be born fresh and elegant, and even a pregnant woman...... How could it be? How could it get his attention in the middle of nowhere?

He bowed his head slightly, with a subtle hint of mockery on his lips,

Perhaps, he should really have a woman.

Le Yao's beautiful eyes suddenly appeared in his mind again.

Wen Yunting shook his head.

Try not to think about it. However, he couldn't shake off those eyes.

Recently, he is too abnormal.

"Yunting?" Song Siyu saw that he was secretly contemplative, and he didn't say a word, he was a little puzzled, walked over, and touched his arm with his elbow.

Wen Yunting looked sideways, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Song Siyu's good-looking lips pursed slightly, and she pointed elegantly to the outside of the glass wall: "Your parents and my parents are here." ”

Wen Yunting raised his proud chin slightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his cold appearance made people dare not get close.

"You have to be mentally prepared," Song Siyu quietly moved two steps to the side, a little farther away from Wen Yunting, and then said cautiously, "My parents...... We may be talking about our marriage tonight. ”

Wen Yunting looked at her sideways, and in his eyes, he couldn't deny: "Hongmen Banquet?"

His eyes always overwhelmed Song Siyu, and she shrugged gracefully to hide her uneasiness.

Wen Yunting's gaze stayed on her for a few seconds, then he turned around and walked calmly outside the VIP hall without hesitation.

"The company has something to do temporarily. Wen Yunting's thin cold lips hooked slightly, and before they could speak, he had already walked towards the door of the humble house.

He left, but in the VIP room, the embarrassed Song Siyu was left to face both parents.

*

Night.

Lonely balcony.

Le Yao was half-lying on the chair, completely sleepy, and her mind was full of Song Siyu holding Wen Yunting in her arms.

Can't get rid of it.

Can't forget.

Tossing and turning, between Le Yao's eyes, a warm tear slid across her cheeks, rolling, and disappeared into the placket.

Don't cry!she told herself.

It was already abandoned.

Forget, must learn to forget!

Le Yao wiped away her tears and secretly scolded herself: Le Yao, you are so stupid! You are so stupid that you still miss this kind of person. Originally, she should have hated him, and even hated him to the bone, but why did her heart hurt so much that she wanted to cry when she saw him?

She warned herself not to think about those unrealistic and illusory feelings, and now the most important thing for her is to work hard and live well, just like the old days, forget all those memories, and start living again.

Yes, start life again.

Time is the best medicine to heal wounds, what she can do is to hide herself, hide well, cover up well, be calm, and work and live in a low-key manner.

Le Zhengming's coughing sound came from the room.

The coughing sound awakened Le Yao's memory, and her heart tightened coldly, yes, everything in the past was a mistake, and because of that mistake, she paid a painful price.

Painful.

Her hand landed on her lower abdomen again.

Suddenly, her heart seemed to bleed in pain.

Memories are the most terrible things, some things, as long as you don't think about it, then, the heart will not hurt, but once you think about it, then it is a piercing pain.

fingers, pinching palms.

"I hate you!"

Le Yao closed her eyes and let the tears fall.

Hate.

How could she not hate?

Five years ago, what Wen Yunting brought to her and her family was not a simple pain, but a complete disaster.

*

Le Yao looked at the personnel change announcement on the office website in surprise.

The right hand, which landed on the mouse, trembled slightly.

How so?

thought of Lou Mo's slightly chubby face, and the day he bumped into Luo Zhen and entangled with him in the office...... Also, on Saturday, Lou Mo had a frivolous hint.

Alas-

She sighed secretly.

The reality is cruel, without waiting for her to take a moment of respite, the internal phone rang, she just picked it up, Zuo Youqing said indifferently and arrogantly: "Come to my office." Then, on the phone, there was a beep of disconnection.

She pursed her lips and looked blankly at the phone, and in her mind, there was only a beeping voice.

Although, she struggled to calm herself.

However, she could not calm down at all.

Closing her eyes, her body trembled slightly, her cold hands covered her cheeks, and the sourness and tiredness between her eyes eased slightly: What should I do? What should I do?

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Le Yao still knew Zuo Youqing to some extent, thinking of her unreasonable targeting, Le Yao didn't dare to stay too long, straightened the corners of her clothes, took a notepad and a pen, and walked to Zuo Youqing's office.

Because it was Monday, the cubicle was full of busy figures, the sound of talking, the sound of fingers falling on the keyboard, and some other voices mixed together, Ke Le Yao's heart was blank, she walked blankly, and even, passing by Ye Hui's side, she didn't realize it.

*

The silent office, yes, is just the sound of Zuo Youqing tapping on the keyboard.

Zuo Youqing didn't look at Le Yao at all, but modified the file on the computer.

The quieter it was, the more it made Le Yao nervous, and she sat quietly and upright opposite Zuo Youqing, with her hands in her hands, not knowing where to put them.

"Director Zuo. Unable to figure it out, Le Yao, who was apprehensive, finally mustered up the courage to speak: "You came to me, what's the matter?"

And at this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

Le Yao turned around, someone came, she knew, it was Zhang Jingyu from the secretary group, and she happened to be a member of today's personnel change announcement.

Zuo Youqing sat confidently and arrogantly, her eyes swept over Le Yao and Zhang Jingyu, and the corners of her good-looking lips rose slightly: "Have you read the personnel change announcement?"

Zhang Jingyu smiled sweetly: "Director Zuo, I've already seen it." As if to express her determination, she said: "Don't worry, I will follow the company's arrangement and work hard in my new position." ”

And Le Yao nodded, in her heart, there were thousands of puzzles, except for a deliberate hint from Lou Mo, before, there was no indication that she wanted to change positions: "Director Zuo, I am very happy in the administration department, and I don't want to change departments." Thinking of Lou Mo, she felt disgusted, and in the future, she was going to be his secretary, how could she be willing?

Zhang Jingyu's face that was still smiling just now had a hint of sneering, and her eyes looked at Le Yao slightly.

"I have been working as a clerk in the administration department for more than a year, and I like this position very much. "Knowing that the personnel changes that have been promulgated are irreversible, Le Yao still wants to make the last struggle.

"Are you an employee of the Wen family?" Zuo Youqing coldly interrupted Le Yao's words, avoiding her words, and looking down at her with a high attitude.

"Yes. Le Yao replied, but in the bottom of her heart, she had an ominous premonition.

Zuo Youqing's lips curled slightly, with a superior sense of confidence: "Since you are an employee of the Wen family, you must abide by the company's arrangement." Her right hand, playing with the diamond bracelet on her left wrist, "Unless, you're not an employee of the company." ”

Le Yao was speechless for a while, only she knew how much she cared about this job. And now, Dad's foot is injured, and her job is the only source of life for their father and daughter.

"Okay, Zhang Jingyu, give you half a month to get used to the work of an administrative scrivener. Zuo Youqing confessed indifferently: "Half a month later, Le Yao, you go to the marketing department to report." She spoke with a swaggering command, as if she didn't want to hear any more objections.

"Okay. Zhang Jingyu nodded slightly, she has been in the company for more than half a year, and she has been staying in the secretary group. Although it is called the secretary team, in fact, she is doing some typing and copying chores, and there is no time to show her ability to work, because the secretary team is Wen's secretary for the executives, and she will have the opportunity to take on the real secretary position until other secretaries leave. And this time, she finally had the opportunity to get out of the secretarial group and come to the administrative department, although she was only a clerk, but she heard that Zuo Youqing's background was very strong, although she was only an administrative director now, but it was very likely that she would be an administrative manager, and even, the administrative director, as long as she worked hard to please Zuo Youqing, as long as she was promoted, she was also very likely to be promoted.

"Director Zuo. Le Yao's tightening was slightly tight, and she wanted to fight again.

"Go out and do things. Zuo Youqing proudly interrupted her words, with a little reprimand, a little order: "Unless, you don't want to stay in the Wen family anymore, otherwise, you must abide by the company's arrangement." She hoped to anger Le Yao, who had always been calm, and hoped that she could really leave the Wen family without looking back.

*

Wen's 7th floor, staff cafeteria.

"Are you really going to be transferred to the marketing department?" Ye Hui sat opposite Le Yao, with a little envy in the corners of his eyes.

Le Yao smiled bitterly, put her chopsticks on the plate, and nodded.

"Le Yao, I really have yours. Ye Hui was very happy: "If you don't say a word, you will find a high position?" We all know that the marketing department has the highest bonus in the Wen family. ”

Le Yao took a sip of soup helplessly, she was poor, she needed money, but ......

"Do you know?" Ye Hui looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Luo Zhen's basic salary is...... If you go there, the pay will be much higher. ”

"What are you talking about?" Luo Zhen walked over with a plate and sat next to Ye Hui.

Ye Hui's cheeks were slightly red, she was talking about Luo Zhen just now, and she didn't know if she heard it. Le Yao, on the other hand, didn't say a word, just cared about drinking soup.

"No, nothing was said. Ye Hui used dinner to hide her discoloration, but when she lowered her head, she discovered the secret of Luo Zhen's skirt, she smiled and quipped: "It turns out that you really cut the skirt short." ”

is also a workwear, Ye Hui and Luo Zhen are sitting together, Ye Hui's skirt is just over the knee, but Luo Zhen's skirt is too short and just covers the hips.

"Nonsense! How can I cut it short, it's obvious that your legs are short!" Luo Zhen didn't blush, her heart didn't beat, and she joked.

"It's obviously cut short," Ye Hui compared her skirt to hers, and the length was immediately apparent, "If Le Yao hadn't told me that day, I wouldn't have found out." "She's always been very aggressive, and she doesn't speak through her brain.

Le Yao sat awkwardly across from them.

Luo Zhen said with a natural expression: "My skirt was burned by the iron, so I had no choice but to cut it short, but it's okay, I can still wear it." Saying that, she looked up: "Le Yao, I heard that you are getting married? ”

"Nothing. Le Yao said indifferently, slightly puzzled: Why, everyone thinks she will be with Minghao?

"No!" Luo Zhen looked at her while eating: "You have all the children, and you are not married?"

In her heart, as if something had been peeled off, Le Yao swallowed a mouthful of food raw, choking her throat uncomfortably.

"It's all my fault. Ye Hui looked at the two of them, slightly annoyed by his straightforward speech.

"Blame you?" Luo Zhen looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Le Yao: "Are you ...... Who are you?" she shook her head: "Impossible, even if you are the one, it is impossible for Le Yao to get pregnant......"

"I'm single, how can I get pregnant?" Seeing that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, Le Yao clarified with a straight face: "I'm just cold on my stomach." ”

"It's all because I'm talking so fast for a while. Ye Hui said ashamedly: "Le Yao is really not pregnant. She was annoyed for a few days.

"Hey, it scared me. Luo Zhen patted her chest and looked at Ye Hui lightly: "You, you have always been very arrogant, straightforward, and unprovoked, how much trouble did you cause for Le Yao?" Hmph, don't you know that there are rumors of Le Yao's pregnancy in the company?"

"Oh. Ye Hui responded dejectedly.

"We are all girls, reputation is very important, Le Yao doesn't have a boyfriend, I'm afraid of people who don't know, and I think she has a problem with her life style. Luo Zhen Zhengse said.

Le Yao raised her eyes, and in her gaze, Luo Zhen's calm expression was revealed, but she was gloomy: Luo Zhen knew that a girl's reputation was very important, why did she have anything to do with Lou Mo? In particular, Lou Mo had a family...... And Luo Zhen, who she knew before, was a lively, cheerful and lovely girl, if she hadn't bumped into that scene that day and killed her, she wouldn't have believed that Luo Zhen would exchange her body for work and money.

"Don't say it, I'm about to die of shame. Ye Hui frowned and said.

"By the way, Le Yao, welcome to become a member of the marketing department. Luo Zhen smiled indifferently, but the smile did not enter his eyes: "You, you hid the news too tightly, I only learned about it from the office online this morning." ”

Le Yao smiled awkwardly.

"Let's talk more about work in a department in the future. Luo Zhen looked at Le Yao, but in her eyes, there was no longer the kiss and calmness of the past.

Le Yao nodded.

"Luo Zhen, I heard you say that Mr. Lou is very strict before, is it true?" While being happy for Le Yao, Ye Hui was still very worried about her future work environment.

"Actually, Mr. Lou is very good. Luo Zhen smiled faintly, and raised her head slightly with a sense of confidence: "As long as Le Yao learns how to communicate well with Mr. Lou, then, there should be no obstacles at work." When she said the word "communication", she paused slightly, and her eyes looked at Le Yao, with a strange provocation, which made Le Yao's heart tighten slightly.

"Le Yao, you have to learn from Luo Zhen in the future, communicate well with Mr. Lou, and strive to be like Luo Zhen, the salary will rise like grass......" Ye Hui said vigorously without knowing what was going on.

Thinking of the entangled scene on the desk, a sense of nausea struck, Le Yao avoided Luo Zhen's provocative gaze, she would never learn Luo Zhen's "communication" method, and she would never learn it.

For lunch, Le Yao returned to the open office area full of lattices, only to find that Zhou Jingyu was standing in her place, sorting out something. As if her privacy was being peeped at, there was a slight suffocation in her heart.

"Are you back?" Zhou Jingyu did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but looked at Le Yao calmly, and put her personal belongings on Le Yao's desk.

As far as Le Yao could see, some of her personal belongings had been moved to the corner of the desk, and the desk was full of Zhou Jingyu's things, and she didn't like others to touch her things, "Hmm." So early?" didn't you say that there was still half a month to hand over? Why, Zhou Jingyu came after only one noon?

Zhou Jingyu's round face carried an irrepressible look: "It's not early, it's almost time to go to work." She has been staying in the secretarial department for a long time, and she has been longing for her own independent desk for a long time, so she didn't want to wait for a moment, and hurriedly moved her things over. Her hand moved the mouse, and suddenly, with a little displeasure, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Le Yao: "What's the matter?

The matter of transferring the position came too suddenly, although it was already a foregone conclusion, but for a while, Le Yao couldn't convince herself, let alone catch her breath, just like that, she confused her thoughts and started working.

Zhou Jingyu seems to be clever, but her brain is paranoid and rigid, a small question will be repeated many times, and even, she will not draw inferences, often, the troubled Le Yao is speechless.

The troubled Monday passed like this.

In the subway, Le Yao's thoughts were confused, in just one day, her world had changed too much, and her heart was tired, so that her whole person was tired, sitting in her position, she closed her tired eyes, it seemed that only in this way did she have an independent space for her to rest. But occasionally the sound of the radio station fills the ears.

She was so tired.

Tired.

Those three words have been all over her heart and eardrums.

Could it be that he just accepted his fate, did he just go to the marketing department and become Lou Mo's secretary? That day, his frivolous words made her very worried, what should she do in the future when she really arrived in the marketing department?

But could she not go?

Zhou Jingyu's preemptive voice, Zuo Youqing's aggressive words, made her powerless to fight back.

But she couldn't afford to lose her job. Let's not talk about whether she has the ability to find another job, just talk about the current situation at home, if she has no financial resources, then, in two months, the rent will not be able to pay.

She really wanted to have a shoulder to lean on.

Once, that evening, the sunset was so beautiful, there was a pair of broad and strong shoulders for her to lean on, at that time, her lips were irrepressible smiles, and her heart was as sweet as overflowing honey.

But what about that shoulder?

A cold chill oozed from the bottom of Le Yao's heart, that shoulder no longer belonged to her.

Bitter.

Just as she was sad, someone gently patted her on the shoulder. Ming Hao's gentle and elegant voice carried a cordiality that people couldn't refuse: "Le Yao, wake up, I'm going to the station soon." ”

Le Yao rubbed her eyes, rubbed away the wetness under her eyes, and in the brisk subway, Ming Hao's handsome facial features filled her sight, and she looked at him in a daze.

"It's time to stop. Her misty eyes made Minghao's heart happy in an instant, and he couldn't help but say that when the subway stopped, he pulled her out.

In the bustling flow of people, Ming Hao followed Le Yao's footsteps and accompanied her to go home.

"What's wrong, unhappy?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Ming Hao finally couldn't help but ask.

Le Yao shook his head, the summer streets were full of heat and dust: "It's okay." She was already accustomed to forbearance, she was relaxed, but she found the medicine bag in Ming Hao's hand.

"This is for Uncle Le. Ming Hao smiled faintly: "The doctor said that this medicine has to be fried in two days." ”

"Thank you. Le Yao lowered her eyes slightly, but the steps under her feet became heavier and heavier, she couldn't remember how many times she had said thank you to Ming Hao.

Ming Hao was a little gloomy, what he wanted was not a word of thanks, in fact, from the subway before, he found her tired face, knowing that she would take this subway home every day, in order to meet her unexpectedly, Ming Hao waited in the subway station for nearly an hour, fortunately, he met her, "Le Yao." ”

"Huh?"

"I ...... Can I take care of you?" he hesitated, but said something, and at that moment, a police car whizzed by, drowning his voice into the sound of a screaming siren.

"What?" Le Yao was a little distracted, not hearing what he said.

"Yes..."Again, Ming Hao couldn't speak.

Le Yao pursed her lips, she was very tired and tired, so she didn't ask any more.

Looking at her tired face, Ming Hao felt very distressed, in fact, as long as she was happy, but in the past five years, he had rarely seen her smile, if he hadn't known her for more than five years, he would have thought that she wouldn't laugh at all.

Actually, she smiled beautifully, at least, that's what he always thought.

*

In the middle of the night, Le Zhengming fell off the bed Le Yao was woken up by a loud noise, and she sat up from the bed suddenly.

"Hey. Le Zhengming's voice came from the next room.

Le Yao turned on the light without thinking and rushed to Le Zhengming's room, only to see him lying on the ground with tiredness.

"Dad!" Le Yao was so frightened that she hurriedly helped him up.

I don't know if it's too hot or what, Le Zhengming's forehead, the beads of sweat the size of beans are falling down one by one, and the huge pain from his bare feet makes him unbearable, it has been several days, although he is wearing herbs and eating Chinese medicine, but his sprained left foot has not improved in the slightest, and even, the injured place is more red and swollen, in order not to worry his daughter, he covered up his pain well, but his leg hurt so much that he couldn't sleep all night, before, as soon as he turned over, his injured foot touched the edge of the bed, and he couldn't stand the pain and rolled out of bed。

Le Yao bit his lip and used all his strength to help him to the bed, under the light, his left foot, although wrapped in herbs, even his calf was swollen like a bubble.

Tears swirled under her eyes, and suddenly, Le Yao was so sad that she wanted to cry, but she didn't say anything, but after settling in Le Zhengming, she returned to her room.

Without thinking much about it, her fingers skillfully pressed the keys on the phone, but when the microphone was picked up, a mechanical voice came from the other end of the phone: "The user you dialed has been stopped." ”

How can there be downtime?

Le Yao began to press the button again, but this time, there was still a cold mechanical sound.

Is Minghao's phone really down?

Outside the window, in the night, with a little starlight flashing, there should be a good weather tomorrow, but, for some reason, Le Yao's heart fell into a daze. Not for anyone, just for yourself.

*

In the cold corridor, the smell of disinfectant water unique to the hospital filled Le Yao's breath.

Just now, in the outpatient clinic, after seeing the old Chinese medicine doctor in the orthopedic department for Le Zhengming's examination, he angrily reprimanded her, and between his words, he was not polite, to the effect that she was too careless as a daughter, how could Le Zhengming's foot injury be delayed for several days, so that the best treatment period was missed.

She didn't confess, indeed, she was too careless, she knew earlier, or she should have let him come to the hospital to have a look.

Just now, after X-ray, it was confirmed that Le Zhengming's left foot was dislocated naked, not a sprain as stated by the previous small orthopedic clinic.

And now, Le Zhengming is undergoing bone position correction treatment in the treatment room.

And she was pacing back and forth in the corridor uneasily, she was very anxious, and she didn't know how Le Zhengming's treatment was.

"Ahh

Time, minute by minute, seems to pass too slowly.

Finally, the treatment room opened.

Le Zhengming was pushed out, his left foot had been put on a plaster, and soon, he was placed in the ward.

"Dad. Le Yao held back the wetness in her eyes, and called worriedly, her eardrums were still filled with his screams.

Le Zhengming comforted his daughter: "I'm fine." ”

Le Yao wiped his sweat for him, but he cried.

"Silly girl, don't cry. Le Zhengming wiped his daughter's tears with his calloused hand, lying on the hospital bed, he felt very helpless in the face of his daughter's tears, and his heart was worried about another layer, if something really happened to him, his Le Yao, what should he do?" Actually, he didn't want to trouble Ming Hao, it's just that the bystander Qing, he knew Ming Hao's thoughts about Le Yao, he just wanted to work hard and let them go together.

"With me taking care of you, you don't have to bother people. Le Yao wiped away her tears and put the pillow behind Le Zhengming.

"You're going to work. Le Zhengming said, he thought, use all possibilities to create opportunities for Minghao, if they can be together, he will be relieved.

"Doesn't he have to go to work?" Le Yao looked at his father lightly: "I took leave today to take care of you in the hospital." The guilt in her heart made her sad.

"Myeongho didn't have classes on Tuesday. Le Zhengming said.

Le Yao was slightly stunned, "How do you know?"

Le Zhengming sighed slightly in his heart: "Don't ask so much, go and call him." ”

"His phone was down. Le Yao couldn't bear to be disappointed by her father, but finally said it.

"No, it won't. His phone was assigned by the school, how could it be down?" Le Zhengming shook his head in disbelief, and then said a string of numbers.

Le Yao frowned slightly in puzzlement: "Hey, he changed his number?"

"He's already changed his number. Le Zhengming shook his head sullenly, and when Le Yao left the ward, he sighed heavily. Why is his daughter so sluggish in front of feelings?
