Chapter 106: I Like You
Xiao Huiru paused for a moment, then continued, "Or someone you love." β
Shen Ruzhi's heart sank, they never gave her a choice, they took away her love as a matter of course, and now they even justified her to find someone she really loved, but from the beginning of this story, that person was separated from her life. And the person she loves is the one who makes her seem pathetic, she can't argue, everything seems absurd.
Shen sneered as expected, "Compared to me, who occupies this position for nothing, isn't it more pathetic for you to be unable to ask for it?"
"You...."Xiao Huiru's fingertips painted with bright red nails crossed in front of Shen Ruzhi's eyes, she didn't think that Shen Ruzhi would say these words, she couldn't find the words to refute it all of a sudden, she was angry in her chest, it was not good to have a seizure, Shen Ruzhi was right, she lost her elegance at the moment, and she was indeed very sad to let Shen Ruzhi quit. But she was unwilling, why should the things that belonged to her be snatched away by Shen Ruzhi, and she still showed off in front of her with this arrogant look, "Shen Ruzhi, how long can you be proud? One day I will let you give up this position." β
"Yes, as long as Miss Xiao has this ability, I won't stop it. If you just came to talk to me today about giving way, then you don't have to work in vain, I will always occupy this position and will not let go. I kindly advise you, be mature, there are many people in this world who can't love, and there are many people who don't love to fight to death, and you should be past the age of always putting love on your lips. Shen Ruzhi's expression was cold, as if he was disdainful.
As soon as Shen Ruzhi's words fell, Xiao Huiru lowered her knuckles angrily, her eyes quenched with anger, "Shen Ruzhi, you wait for me." β
After Xiao Huiru finished speaking, she was about to leave angrily, turned around, and in her sight, Qin Shaoheng's long figure fell at the door of the living room, looking leisurely, as if she was watching a good show. Xiao Huiru panicked all of a sudden, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, her angry expression was raised, and she put on a weak look, I don't know how much Qin Shaoheng listened, she was apprehensive, and said softly, "Shaoheng, you.... Why are you back?" she received the news that Qin Shaoheng would not be able to get out of the company for a while handling business, so she dared to come to the villa to confront Shen as scheduled, but she didn't expect that the confrontation situation was not as good as she wanted, and she didn't know how much Qin Shaoheng saw her gaffe.
"What? I can't come back. Qin Shaoheng's tone was cold, he took three or two steps inside, tiredness fell between his eyebrows, and he loosened the collar of his shirt irritably.
"I, I didn't mean that. Xiao Huiru was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Qin Shaoheng to respond to her like this, she was afraid in her heart, but she couldn't ruin her impression in Qin Shaoheng's heart, and immediately changed her mind and explained, "I came to the villa to find you, maybe there was some misunderstanding as scheduled, I was afraid that I would misunderstand me pestering you as scheduled, so my tone was a little anxious." Isn't it causing you trouble?"
"If there's nothing to do, you can go back first!" Qin Shaoheng stood beside Shen Ruzhi, his face was covered with a layer of frost, his voice was cold, and the meaning of driving her away was obvious.
Xiao Huiru wanted to explain something more, but Qin Shaoheng's attitude made her dare not speak again, "Then I won't bother you, if I cause you a misunderstanding, I'm sorry." Her eyes were full of mist, she really felt wronged, the person who followed her in everything back then, now drove her away for another woman, such a gap made her unacceptable, covered her mouth, and left the villa in a hurry.
In the living room of the villa, only Shen Ruzhi and Qin Shaoheng were left.
Shen Ruzhi's gaze swept over Qin Shaoheng who was standing aside, his expression had returned to his usual coldness, she didn't know how much Qin Shaoheng had heard the conversation between her and Xiao Huiru at the door, she was afraid that he would be suspicious, and she was uneasy in her heart, but once she opened her mouth to test, she would be even more convinced of her weakness, and now the best way could only be to be silent, fortunately, after waiting for a while, he didn't mention it, and went straight upstairs.
Yu Shen was still standing in the huge living room as scheduled, and the time was probably a long time, until Aunt Lan walked in, "Young grandma, lunch is ready, you can ask the young master to go downstairs to eat." She was stunned for a moment, and then she felt that the voice was clear.
The chin was slightly raised, falling into her eyes, Aunt Lan's demeanor was impeccable, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a vague smile, "Okay, I know, you have worked hard." β
Maybe it was because she was not in the villa for a while, and she even forgot that there was still an existence like Aunt Lan in the villa. I don't know what she and Xiao Huiru said, how much Aunt Lan heard, and I don't know if this Aunt Lan is Xiao Huiru's person, she took a deep breath, from now on, she can no longer face everything in a daze, and she is unaware of being tricked by others, harming herself and the people around her. Guarded and cordoned, she has to wake herself up at all times.
She walked up to the second floor step by step with the steps of solid wood, there was no Qin Shaoheng in the bedroom, probably the study was left, she walked at the door of the study, raised the hand to knock on the door of the study, and put it down, hesitating whether to knock on the door, and finally, she still landed her finger bones on the faΓ§ade of the solid wood.
His deep voice rang out from behind the heavy door, and she pushed it inside.
In the study, facing away from her was Qin Shaoheng's figure, standing in front of the transparent window, the few mist entangleds between his knuckles, as if to hide his slender and upright figure.
"Lunch was ready. Shen opened his mouth as scheduled.
On the other side, he still didn't react, his body didn't move a bit, only the white smoke fluttered up, and the time ticked for a second, two seconds, three seconds.
Finally, he turned around, walked over to his desk, and pressed the cigarette butt heavily against the ashtray with white porcelain and gold trim, and the sparks popped out a few bright grains, which were quickly extinguished again. He leaned against the corner of the table and looked at her for a long time, "Do you think we are two people who don't love each other to the death?"
Shen Ruzhi's heart darkened, and he really heard this. The true voice of her heart wanted to question him, was it not in line with their current situation, that he did not love her, but kept her by his side.
But this moment is not suitable for her questioning, she doesn't want their relationship to stiffen back to the previous level, this is not good for her, now is not the time to fight for right and wrong, she wants to occupy the position, no matter what Qin Shaoheng's purpose is for her, as long as she occupies this position, she is holding what Xiao Huien cares about, what if she can't fight Xiao Huien for a while, as long as she is Mrs. Qin for a day, Xiao Huien can't win, and this position can bring her not only resources, but also shelter.
She didn't know when it began, and she struggled to hold the position no longer because she liked the person in front of her, but for a clear and ridiculous purpose. However, she has no way at all, he doesn't love her, she can't tie her up with feelings, all she can exchange for is what he wants for her, and what he pretends to be obedient to please him.
The careful thoughts in her heart were entangled, he didn't know, for the first time she felt that she might be able to go down to the dust, and she didn't know that the beautiful thoughts she had hidden for a long time would be exposed in this situation, she mustered up her courage and looked up at him, like looking at a star that seemed to be out of reach, "I like you." β
He was stunned, the cigarette butt was still pressed on the ashtray, the spark was extinguished, he pressed it a few more times, a dark light slipped under his eyes, his eyes drooped, and his slender eyelashes hit the broken green shadow, covering up too much of the emotions surging in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his face was as solemn as ever, making people unable to distinguish emotions, "So, you care so much about Mrs. Qin's position because you like me?"
She was asked suddenly, her cheeks couldn't help but flush, and she felt her vocal cords tremble, and she had been brewing for a long time, but there was only one word, "Yes." She admits very frankly, but it is a fact that has been buried and covered for a long time, she has never dared to overflow and only dare to hide the throbbing in the depths of her heart, because she likes him, she wants to keep too many good memories between them, because she likes him, she is easily hurt and bloody, and wants to leave, because she likes him, she feels that she is not worthy of this position, and she dodges and escapes everywhere. But she knew that he didn't like her, and that she could be a plaything for him, a fertility machine, a threat to stay by his side and fulfill his beloved. But she was not the only one who was loved by him deeply, just as she loved him so much.
This is the greatest sorrow in this marriage, in which she occupies the position of Mrs. Qin in vain.
A sudden confession is not warm for a person who doesn't love, let alone in such a situation, it is even more downcast.
She was glad that he couldn't see her heart, couldn't hear her heart, and her embarrassment was a little more decent. She never expected him to be ecstatic and accept her love, and to be honest with her, when in fact he loved her just as much.
Nothing happened, as she expected, he just let go of the cigarette butt, and his expression was still calm and cold, as if she was not admitting that she liked him, as if she was admitting that the perfume she wore today was a little strong, but the perfume was not strong, including, whether she loved him or not, in fact, it didn't have much to do with him.
"There's something else going on in my company. You go eat first. His voice was as cold as usual, and he didn't even pursue it further, and he picked up his black coat from the sofa and walked out with steady steps until the figure disappeared from her eyes.
She seemed to feel that all the strength in her body had been lost, she almost couldn't support it, grabbed the corner of the desk, and stabilized her body, her face gradually lost its blood, he really didn't love her, she knew it, but the place in her heart still hurt so much that she couldn't breathe, for a person who didn't love him, her true confession was like a thousand pounds of burden. She felt cold, hugged her body, and still couldn't stop shivering, the unspeakable little secret in her heart, the little bit she held in her heart and refused to let go, in the air, like a soap bubble, snapped, shattered without a trace. She can't fall yet, she has more important things to do, as long as she can occupy this position, she doesn't matter.
Shen straightened up as scheduled and walked downstairs through the door that had not been closed.
The dishes in the restaurant have been arranged, delicately arranged, and the dishes with fragrance are scattered, and Aunt Lan stands aside respectfully.
She picked up the chopsticks, she didn't know the taste of food, everything seemed to have not changed, but everything seemed to have changed beyond recognition.
