Chi Wan and Wu Jinyue went out together, took the subway to the unit, and the two had breakfast outside.

Thinking of what happened in the cafeteria that day, Wu Jinyue pondered for a while, and still told Chi Wan, "Brother Ji is very persistent, I don't know how to say it, but I see his attitude that he wants to wait for you all the time." ”

Chi Wan took a bite of the bun and didn't swallow it for a long time.

Wu Jinyue looked at her and couldn't help sighing, "After all, after so many years of relationship, you have known each other since childhood, Brother Ji is quite a simple person, he just wants to marry you wholeheartedly." ”

Chi Wan didn't say anything, because in her thinking, no matter what she said, she didn't care, it was she who failed Ji Zhongxi, she changed her mind, and she was not determined.

When he arrived at the unit, Chi Wan kept thinking about what Wu Jinyue said.

At the subway station, Wu Jinyue said to Chi Guan, "This can't work, if Brother Ji is always in such a state, it will be a harm to himself." ”

Chi Wan's heart was very heavy, and he was distracted when he changed clothes.

Hu Xiang arrived at the office, greeted her with a smile, and did not mention Zhou Zejun's incident for the time being.

The whole morning was not disturbed by each other, and they were busy.

At noon, when it was time to eat, Hu Xiang said to Chi Guan, "Aguan, otherwise I will invite you to a meal." ”

Chi Wan had already gotten up and was about to go out, He Miao was waiting for her downstairs, "Why?"

Hu Xiang said, "The Zhou family is fine now, I know that you helped me, I am very grateful." ”

I see.

Chi Wan smiled, "It's okay, you don't have to invite me to dinner, and it doesn't help much." ”

When the words fell, she saw Hu Xiang's eyes red, and she was a little frightened, "You, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Xiang sat in his position, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders were shaking, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was crying, "You must look down on me, right?"

Chi Wan frowned and didn't say a word.

He Miao sent a message and asked her why she hadn't gone down yet. Chi Wan glanced at it, ignored it, and focused on Hu Xiang. As soon as Hu Xiang cried, Chi Wan couldn't stand it, and his heart was sluggish.

It's easy to get emotional, after all, they've been working together in the same office for months.

Hu Xiang cried and said, "Ah Wan, do you know, I haven't been home for many years. ”

"Why?" Chi Wan was puzzled.

"Because, that home doesn't need me. ”

Hu Xiang wiped away the tears on his face and suddenly laughed, "Do you know that patriarchy, since I was born, my parents have never looked at me squarely. The eldest brother was admitted to college, and they smashed pots and sold iron for him. My brother was clamoring to go to a key high school, and they borrowed money everywhere to send him there. But when I was in college, they said that my family couldn't afford it anymore, so I didn't want to go any further, so it was better to get married early, and marry someone with good conditions to help my family. ”

Chi Wan's temples jumped when he heard this, and his hands clenched lightly, "Why are you ...... like this?"

Hu Xiang blinked, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she smiled bitterly, "Why can't this be, for them, their daughter is born a cheap life, and she is already very worthy of me if she can give me food and clothing." I never had my own room, there were three rooms at home, one for my parents, one for my eldest brother and one for my younger brother, I could still sleep with my parents when I was a child, and when I was in middle school, I had no choice, so I built a bed on the balcony. ”

"At that time, my eldest brother touched my bed in the middle of the night and moved his hands and feet to me, I cried and shouted, my mother came over and slapped me directly, saying that I knew how to hook men at a young age and bring my eldest brother badly!"

"I was about sixteen years old, and I knew at the time that one day I would leave home and I wouldn't go back. ”

"After I was admitted to university, I used the summer vacation to work at KTV, earned tuition and left my hometown, and since that day, I have not been back, nor have I called my parents once. ”

"So I want to live better, I want to marry better, I want them to regret what they did to me. ”

The office was quiet, and Chi Wan had already closed the door.

Hu Xiang was talking, she was listening.

No matter how true Hu Xiang's words were, Chi Wan listened to it and was willing to believe her.

He Miao was waiting for her to eat in the lobby downstairs and sent her several messages, and Chi Wan asked her to wait a few more minutes.

Chi Guan said to Hu Xiang, "In fact, in this society, a large part of women are still in a position of not being treated fairly. I don't know your family, and I don't know that you have been treated like this by your family, but Sister Xiang, it's right to marry well, I'm afraid that the one you choose is not your lover. ”

Hu Xiang wiped his face clean, inhaled, and shook his head, "Zhou Zejun has a handle in my hands, and he doesn't dare to divorce when he gets married." ”

“……”

Chi Wan was speechless.

After a pause, she said, "Okay. There seems nothing wrong with people working hard for what they want, even if it is by unscrupulous means. As long as you feel that is worthwhile, then follow your heart. ”

Chi Wan walked to the door, Hu Xiang got up and walked up, "Ah Guan, I still have to thank you." ”

It can be seen that Hu Xiang is very sincere, from his eyes to his expression, as well as the tone of his words.

Chi Wan smiled, nodded, and held the doorknob in his hand, "Okay, I accept it." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh, Aguan, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as the door opened, I saw He Miao running up from downstairs panting, and the other party was already impatient.

Chi Wan smiled and went over to hold her, "The matter in hand has just been finished." ”

The two went down the stairs together, He Miao looked back at Hu Xiang, who was standing at the door of the office behind him and looked at them, and whispered vigilantly, "What is she doing?"

Chi Wan didn't look back, "What are you doing, why are you doing so much!"

"Humph!"

He Miao thought to herself, you are so easy to bully, Lao Tzu also cares about you!

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, in the western restaurant on the second floor of the CBD opposite the Jingshi Building, Su Muhua found Gu Linan there.

After the meeting, there was no one, and he said that he was looking for him to dine together, and asked Cheng Yu, only to learn that he had come out to eat alone.

Outside the restaurant, Su Muhua saw through the glass window the man who was looking at the documents in front of the booth, with steak pasta in front of the table, barely moving.

Su Muhua walked up and knocked on the glass with a smile, the man looked up, saw her, bowed slightly, and motioned for her to come in.

Su Muhua made an OK gesture in his hand, bypassed the glass, and came in through the main entrance.

"Fried cod, potato baked rice, and a glass of white peach sparkling water without sugar, thank you. ”

After ordering, Su Muhua handed the menu to the waiter and smiled politely.

After the waiter left, she asked Gu Linan, "You asked me to eat at noon in the morning, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye!"

The man folded his legs, put aside the documents in his hand, and replied with a smile, "I can't bear to disturb you when you were called away." ”

Su Muhua flattened his mouth, "You are too hypocritical, if you don't want to invite me to dinner, just say it." How much can I eat you?"

Gu Linan drank water and smiled faintly.

"My former assistant left, and only then did a college student come, who seems to be quite reliable, and he is also diligent and studious, but he has never graduated. Let's use it for the time being, and change it when there is a suitable one. ”

"You're thinking about changing it, so it's better to find another one, don't delay others. ”

"Didn't they all say that they were diligent and studious, maybe I would change my mind. ”

As Su Muhua spoke, he took Gu Linan's cup and drank water, in the man's expression of gradually twisting his eyebrows.

Seeing that he was unhappy and not good at attacking, Su Muhua smiled and said, "Didn't you sleep together when you were a child, what does it matter if you drink your cup." ”

The man frowned, "Here we go again." ”

After a while, the waiter came over to deliver the food, and placed it in front of Su Muhua with the same care, "Madam, your meal has arrived, please use it slowly." ”

"Thank you. ”

Su Muhua took a knife and cut the pan-fried silver cod and gave Gu Linan a piece on the plate, "When I was studying abroad before, I went to your kitchen whenever I had time. I've eaten my food for so many years, and I don't see you in return. ”

The man looked at her with one hand on his cheek and raised his eyebrows, "How do you want me to repay, you make a request, and you will agree to everything within your ability." ”

As soon as Su Muhua heard this, the movements in his hand stopped, "How about making a promise with your body?"

Seeing Gu Linan's face pale, Su Muhua laughed in the next second, "Tease you, you don't think I'm still willing to." ”

Gu Linan took a fork to eat pasta, and his tone became a little stern, "I can't afford to make this kind of joke, don't do it in the future." ”

With such an expression and such a tone, Su Muhua's heart was very blocked when he heard it. The sad mood followed, he buried his head in his meal, the heat in his chest surged, and he had to reply to him in an extremely ordinary tone, "Okay, let's be stingy." ”

Gu Linan glanced at her.

The woman's hanging bangs blocked the emotions in her eyes, as if nothing had happened, and she said, "I'm almost ready over there, and you have to worry about the selection of materials." ”

"I know what to do. ”

The man raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and when the time was almost up, he got up and took his coat and left.

Su Muhua ate a few bites of baked rice, which tasted the same as chewing wax.

Looking up at the front desk, Gu Linan explained something to others while wearing a coat. Presumably the noon consumption was on his account.

Su Muhua lowered his head and supported his forehead, his eyes were unstoppably sour, and his heart hurt terribly.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and it was the day when Chi Wan promised Gu Linan to go home.

But Gu Linan temporarily had other requirements, asking her to accompany him to a small private drinking party on a yacht.

Chi Wan found out, this person has to make inches of strength, since she compromised once, there will be countless times in the future This kind of thing is waiting for her.

But she couldn't say no, she couldn't see Gu Linan's disappointed, frustrated, and extremely unwilling eyes when he stared at her intently.

And he promised her again.

However, Chi Wan was troublesome, so he didn't go to Miss Fu to change her dress for styling this time.

She wore a burgundy knee-length dress when she went out in the morning, and if she wore high heels, it was enough for that occasion. Make up for yourself when you get off work, and then go to the alley next door to get in his car.

The reception was at eight o'clock in the evening, and the two still had time to go to dinner first.

Gu Linan drove and took Chi Wan to Wang Ruyu.

Coincidentally, Su Muhua was also there. When Gu Linan and Chi Wan went, Su Muhua and Wang Ruyu were talking and laughing on the side of the table, and Wang Ruyu was teaching her to sit on passion fruit lemon honey.

The door was pushed open, and the two looked up together, and saw Gu Linan holding Chi Wan's hand and coming in from the outside.

"Why are you there?"

Seeing Su Muhua, Gu Linan was a little surprised, casually put the coat in his hand on the sofa, and pulled Chi Wan towards the two.
