Chapter 4: Heart Locks
As soon as the words fell, he was also frightened by himself, and quickly let go of his hand, showing a rare panic in his eyes.
He looked at his hands in a daze, why would he answer her drunken words, why would he be so angry that he wanted to kill her?!
Just for that sentence?
He took out his cigar, and the long matchstick lit a yellow light, and his heart was finally less irritable as he looked at the curling white smoke.
He stood up, leaned comfortably against the wall, and for a moment he swallowed the clouds, and his expression gradually returned to normal.
At this moment, Ye Chengxuan's phone rang, and the caller ID was the word "Xue Ying".
"Xue Ying, what's wrong?"
"Big brother, are you coming back for dinner tonight, Sister Siqin is at home!"
Ye Xueying's voice was full of antiquity, and Ye Chengxuan knew what he should answer.
"I'll be back now, but it's past eight o'clock, so eat first when you're hungry." ”
Ye Chengxuan's voice was the same as before, as if the scene just now did not exist.
"We're not hungry, and mom has just gotten up, so you don't have to worry, big brother, you have to drive carefully. ”
Ye Xueying's voice was very sweet, and Ye Chengxuan also liked her voice, but when he heard the word "mother" come out of Ye Xueying's mouth, his heart was very uncomfortable.
How many times did he want to tell the secret that had been hidden in his heart, how many times, how many times did he want to say to Ye Xueying, he couldn't recognize the thief as his mother anymore!
However, he endured it again and again, because he didn't want to hurt Ye Xueying, he didn't want his sister to be occupied by hatred, he just wanted to see her happy smile.
So he chose to bear everything alone, when he watched his only relative in the world talking and laughing with their enemies, when he heard Ye Xueying affectionately shouting "mother" and "second brother" These harsh titles, the hatred for the two of them in his heart will be deeper, and over the years, he has come to this day step by step with these hatreds.
He doesn't regret his choice, but even he misses his old life at some point.
"Sister, can you call me brother?"
Since Ye Chengzhi came, their father asked Ye Xueying to change her name to Ye Chengxuan as the eldest brother, at that time she had just turned two years old, and it had no effect on her at all, but Ye Chengxuan was different, he was six years old at that time, and he was used to what she called him, and he was used to that brother.
How could Ye Xueying know how much Ye Chengxuan longed for her to call her brother again over the years?
Ye Xueying didn't speak for a long time, it wasn't that she didn't want to scream, but when the words reached her throat, she couldn't shout.
Perhaps, she is really used to this title and used to her current life.
The only thing that makes her unaccustomed is the change in that person's identity, right?
Ye Chengxuan saw that she didn't reply for a long time, knowing that she had no way to say it, and he wouldn't force her, because she was the only woman he cherished.
"Okay, let's not talk about it yet, big brother is going to drive. ”
Ye Xueying hurriedly said "En", and then hung up the phone.
Ye Chengxuan glanced at Xia Haitong, her face was still red, and she was still muttering something in her mouth.
"I want to know you...... I want to help you ......."
Ye Chengxuan looked at Xia Haitong thoughtfully, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he wanted to ask her, do you want to understand me, want to help me, or just want to help Ye Chengzhi?
He stared at her, and naturally settled on the latter, he didn't understand, what point of Ye Chengzhi was comparable to himself, why his sister was more intimate with him than himself, why did Xia Haitong fall in love with him, but he resisted himself so much?
Just because of his so-called gentleness, so-called deep affection?
His hand reached for her cheek, caressing it gently, his fingertips brushing over her brows, sliding over her sideburns, leaning down slowly, and the kiss fell on her lips.
Beneath his nose was the scent of her drunkenness, and as if he was going to play a prank, he bit her lip lightly, and then with a sharp force, blood flowed out.
She frowned slightly, but her consciousness was still not very clear, and he smiled with satisfaction, turned off the light, and closed the door firmly.
When Xia Haitong woke up again, it was already the time of the sun.
She opened her eyes slightly, looked at the chandelier that was not unfamiliar, and her heart suddenly settled down a lot.
Unconsciously, she felt a trace of pain in her lips, and she found a faint amount of blood.
She rubbed her temples and tried to remember what had happened last night, but now her mind was blank, and all she remembered was that she had drunk the glass of red wine.
Why did the lip break, could it be that I accidentally bit it?
The afterglow fell on the towel not far away, and then looked at the key that was still in her bag, she could finally be sure that the person who sent her home last night was Ye Chengxuan.
But why did he send himself back, and what happened last night?
She pursed her lips, thinking, Ye Chengxuan shouldn't be so boring, biting my lip while I'm confused, right?
Xia Haitong began to try to remember everything last night again, but when she thought about it, the pain filled her head, and the pain was so painful that she wanted to explode, leaving only the word blank.
As soon as she turned her head, her eyes fell on the small alarm clock at the head of the bed, and when she saw it, her eyes were straight, it was already a little faster, this, this is absenteeism!
Oh my God, I'm only on my second day at work, so I won't be fired!
As soon as she thought of this, she immediately jumped up from the bed, threw all the mess aside, and when she was about to break out of the door, she smelled the smell of her body, and she decided that she had to take a shower first!
Half past one in the afternoon.
Xia Haitong returned to the public relations department uneasily, as soon as she entered the door, all eyes were focused on her, no wonder she didn't go to work all morning, so it was no wonder that she was not the focus.
But why is everyone's gaze so strange?
Xia Haitong looked around at everyone, their faces all had expressions of surprise or pity, Xia Haitong was a little uncomfortable stared at by them, so he lowered his head and hurried back to his seat.
"Alas, she's so pitiful, she encountered these things on her first day of work yesterday. ”
"There's no way, I can only blame her for being born at the wrong time. ”
"But looking at it like this, she doesn't seem to have suffered any torture, and she can still come to work today, I thought she was here to deliver a letter of resignation!"
"Who knows, maybe people have worked hard and coaxed Boss Long to be obedient. ”
"Hehe, yes, too. ”
Their voices were not loud, Xia Haitong could hear that they were deliberately lowering their voices, but the words still came into her ears, she pondered, who said that she was not tortured, when she thought of her squatting down on the floor, her heart sank, but when it came to kung fu, did this mean that she did a good job in the aftermath after that?
Thinking of this, she actually smiled stupidly, in fact, she was not that good, she just drank a glass of wine.
When everyone saw her laughing, they thought she was starting to go crazy, and they all went to their own devices.
Smiling and smiling, she remembered that she had to ask Manager Zhou for a leave of absence to explain the reason, and it happened that Manager Zhou came out at this time, and before she could say anything, he said to Xia Haitong, Mr. Ye was looking for them.
Xia Haitong saw that Manager Zhou's eyes flickered a little, and she didn't dare to look at Xia Haitong, she was quite puzzled by this, but when she heard that Mr. Ye was looking for her, she was quite happy.
Office of the President.
As soon as the two walked into the office, Ye Chengzhi immediately stopped what he was doing, and he instructed the secretary to take the documents that had just been processed to print, and make him a cup of coffee when he came back.
Manager Zhou asked, "Mr. Ye, do you have anything to do with us?"
Ye Chengzhi replied: "I heard that yesterday you signed a contract with Long Sansheng for the company, and you did a good job in this matter." ”
"Mr. Ye praised falsely, it is the responsibility of our public relations department to negotiate business for the company, and we are just doing our part. ”
Ye Chengzhi said softly: "Having said that, but who Long Sansheng is, we all know it, in short, you have done a good job this time, and the specific reward will be reflected in your salary this month." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Ye!"
Xia Haitong didn't say a word, and she didn't dare to look directly at Ye Chengzhi, she thought, listening to Chengzhi's tone, he should have known about yesterday's incident, so did he also know about Ye Chengxuan sending him home?
Although Ye Chengzhi kept talking to Manager Zhou, his eyes kept falling on Xia Haitong.
Yesterday, as soon as he got off the plane, he received a call from Ye Chengxuan, Ye Chengxuan told him all about Xia Haitong's situation, he was shocked when he heard it, but fortunately, he was relieved to know that she was safe and sound.
Ye Chengzhi was very grateful to Ye Chengxuan for his help, and Ye Chengxuan told him that this was a little apology and compensation to Xia Haitong.
Although he knew all this, Ye Chengzhi still wondered, why didn't Xia Haitong mention to himself that he would enter Ye's work, and still chose to be a public relations professional? Moreover, why didn't he even say a word to him when he moved?
Xia Haitong seemed to feel his torch-like gaze, so he simply lowered his head, Manager Zhou and Ye Chengzhi chatted a few more words, and finally Ye Chengzhi let them all go out.
Manager Zhou said some enlightening words to Xia Haitong when he went back, and then Xia Haitong suddenly realized that everyone thought that she had slept with Long Sansheng, and now she finally understood why Ye Chengxuan sent her back.
But why should he care about himself?
For a moment, her heart was somewhat grateful to Ye Chengxuan, but she immediately told herself that all this was just something he did to please herself.
As soon as Manager Zhou and her returned to the public relations department, the discussion inside immediately disappeared, Xia Haitong probably guessed what they were discussing, although she wanted to explain, but she also knew that she couldn't explain.
She is destined to carry this black cauldron, and she sighs, why do these unlucky things always have to be piled up on her head!
But soon she comforted herself, at least then she didn't have to be said to be absent from work, right?
Just thinking about it, Ye Chengzhi sent her a text message, he said, at eight o'clock in the evening, I will go to your new home.
Xia Haitong looked at this text message, and felt unspeakably awkward in her heart, she thought, could it be that Chengzhi was angry?
In this way, she spent an afternoon with anxiety, and as soon as she got off work, she returned home in a puff of smoke, looking at the wall clock, thinking about how to deal with Ye Chengzhi's next question.
Time passed in a flash, and soon it was eight o'clock in the evening, and Ye Chengzhi also came to the house as promised.
As soon as she entered the door, Ye Chengzhi immediately asked her: "Xiaotong, why didn't you discuss all this with me, and didn't even tell me a word?!"
