56 Get back on your feet on your own
"Nope. ”
Drinking, suddenly sobered up a lot, Leng Haochen raised his wrist and looked at his watch, twisted his brows and asked, "Where are you?"
"Times Square. ”
"Got it, I'll be right there. ”
Hanging up the phone, Leng Haochen's heart was agitated, and the feeling of disgust was far less intense than what he expected, he knew that he was very divided, but, at this moment, it was more difficult for him to refuse than a project of billions of dollars.
After so many years, he has become accustomed to letting himself learn to hate, but hating someone is more painful than love after all.
The evening breeze blows on the face, with a slight warmth of crisp linen, and the slightest is in the heart.
Standing in front of the fountain in the center of the square, looking at the waves that swelled with the beat of the music, An Qianyan's heart finally gained temporary peace.
I don't know when she started to come here often, used to being a terrible thing, used to missing someone, used to the smell of a certain soap, used to a glass of light salt water every day, and even more accustomed to coming here to see the fountain when she was sad.
In the past, as long as she was unhappy, Feng Xiujie would take her here, point to the pillar of optimus water and say to her: "The fountain goes straight up to the clouds, with the passionate color in my heart, just like the six gods ascending to heaven, and there is a moment of happiness and pride in my heart." ”
It seems that from that time on, An Qianyan fell in love with the fountain, and it was out of control, but everyone thought that what she liked was just the gorgeousness behind the dazzling fountain, but no one understood that she was just looking for the shadow of that person through the fountain.
The sound of steady footsteps, slowly approaching, An Qianyan did not look back, just continued to look at the ups and downs of the fountain in a daze, on Times Square, crowds of people came and went, no one noticed the changes in front of the fountain, and no one saw it, his eyes were blazing because of distress.
"Why don't you go home?"
Finally, Leng Haochen took the initiative to speak, the same indifference, but a little more human.
Looking back unexpectedly, when An Qianyan's eyes swept over his handsome and deep outline, she suddenly lost her voice, and could only look at his heroic eyebrows and eyes blankly, and was silent.
Why did she meet him for the first time every time she was sad and lost?
Is it a coincidence? or fate?
"It's so late, why don't you go home?" Leng Haochen continued to ask patiently, and in a flat tone, he seemed to be asking about something very ordinary.
Raising her eyes in vain, An Qianyan still didn't answer his question, just stared into his eyes and asked, "It's so late, why are you here?"
"Passing by. ”
Leng Haochenyun's light tone was light, as if he was really just passing by.
An Qianyan pulled her lips slightly, pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said sarcastically: "Then, the road has passed, you can also leave." ”
"Ann, Qian, Yeon. ”
Leng Haochen gritted his teeth and yelled at her name, he cared about her kindly, but in exchange for her indifference from thousands of miles away.
He really shouldn't have been here, but he still came, but he didn't admit that he was because of her, and he never admitted that he cared about her, so he didn't seem to find any other way to express his heart than to be more fierce to her.
Sighing, An Qianyan held back her tears and said calmly: "I don't want to make you angry, it's just, don't provoke me again." Actually, you're not going to care about me at all, are you?"
The reality is too cruel after all, in front of him, she has long lost her dignity, the only backbone left, let her keep it for the time being.
An Qianyan's heart was empty and cold through the wind, but such a cold heart, the moment she found out that he was coming, she finally turned to the softest side.
Her eyes were inexplicably heart-wrenching, Leng Haochen turned sideways awkwardly, avoiding the light in his eyes that affected him, his slender fingers were handsomely inserted into the trouser belt, he had a cold face, and asked casually: "Why are you here?"
"Like, so here it is. ”
"Why do you like it?"
"Because, someone used to like it. ”
"Who?"
"It's none of your business!"
The hand in the trouser pocket tightened and clenched, and the grip was tight, Leng Haochen looked straight ahead, and suddenly said, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”
Unexpectedly, he suddenly made a gesture of goodwill, An Qianyan was ignorant, and mechanically refused: "No need, I want to sit for a while." ”
Leng Haochen frowned and stubbornly reminded: "It's late." ”
An Qianyan shook her head stubbornly: "If you feel late, you can go first." ”
"It's not a good thing to be stubborn. Leng Haochen suddenly became angry, because of her ignorance and her indifference, it was so late, but she still stubbornly stayed here, did she really not know what danger was?
couldn't bear it anymore, An Qianyan suddenly broke out: "Leng Haochen, why do you have to force me to leave, just let me stay here alone for a while?"
"Because I want to see the fountain, and I don't like to see you when I'm looking at the fountain. ”
I'm used to being hurt, and I'm used to hurting as a way to care for people, and I obviously didn't think so, but when the words came to my mouth, it became another kind of insincere hurt.
"Okay, I understand, I'll go. ”
The moment she turned around, tears welled up, An Qianyan knew that she shouldn't be weak in front of him, but everything was developing in the worst direction, the road ahead was boundless, she didn't know where she belonged, and wanted to stay in a place where she had a dream, but his appearance extinguished her last wish.
A little heartache, a little sadness, Leng Haochen, why do you want to hurt me like this?
At midnight, the silence of the darkness was oppressive and suffocating, leaving only the flickering neon lights reflecting the sleepy faces of the people.
Familiar streets, unfamiliar crowds, and the noise of the streets are still the same, but An Qianyan's feeling is only lonely, even in the crowd, it seems that there is only herself, it is a kind of loneliness that goes deep into the bone marrow, just like the coldness of the night, like a shadow.
I don't want to go home, I don't want to see Ye Zhenwei, and I don't want to be disgusted with herself, but now she doesn't even know where she should go except wandering around the streets.
For many years, she has been the daughter of the family, and she has enjoyed the treatment of the mayor's daughter as a matter of course, her life, her world, have all been paved, as long as she keeps going in the established direction, but now, her road has been dug up, and she has lost herself in this vast sea of people.
Protected too well, she's used to relying on ......
And now that her father has fallen, everything has collapsed, and she can only rely on her own strength to get back on her feet.
An Qianyan chuckled self-deprecatingly, does she really have the ability to stand up?
Or after this time, he was completely flattened by Ye Zhenwei?
An Qianyan was thinking about it, and a familiar voice from her best friend came from behind her.
She was stunned, turned around, and looked surprised: "Jingjing, why are you here?"
Luo Jingjing shrugged her shoulders: "It was Leng Haochen who called me and said that you are here, let me come and see you." ”
"Leng Haochen?" An Qianyan was shocked, didn't he drive her away just now?
"It seems that he still cares about you, and seeing that you are still wandering outside so late, let me persuade you. Luo Jingjing said bluntly.
An Qianyan's gaze couldn't help but become complicated.
"Let's go, get in the car. Luo Jingjing pointed to the car she was parked not far away and said to her.
An Qianyan actually wanted to go shopping alone for a while, blowing more cold wind, and dissipating the irritability in her heart, but it didn't seem appropriate for a single woman to wander the road all night.
When she got to the car, she said to Luo Jingjing: "Jingjing, I'll go to your place tonight for one night." ”
"Good. Luo Jingjing started the car and agreed without hesitation.
Until they left, Leng Haochen watched in the car not far away, watching her finally get into his best friend's car, and his heart was hanging high for a moment, and he finally let go.
I don't know why my sudden strange feelings are, obviously he approached An Qianyan just to take revenge, but many things seem to have gradually deviated from the track and are out of his control.
Luo Jingjing drove An Qianyan back to the high-end bachelor apartment where she now lives alone.
"What do you want to drink?" As soon as she entered the door, Luo Jingjing took clean slippers to change for her, and asked with concern.
"No, I'm not thirsty. An Qianyan shook her head.
"Then, you go take a shower first, and I'll clean up the guest room for you to live in. Luo Jingjing thought for a while and said.
"Well, good!"
It's not the first time An Qianyan has come to live at her best friend's house, she used to quarrel with Ye Zhenwei, and she came to her best friend's house to live temporarily.
She naturally walked to the bathroom, and Luo Jingjing helped her clean up the guest room.
Luo Jingjing's single apartment is one living room and two rooms.
Both the floor and the orientation are good.
"Qianyan, you put on my clothes first. Soon, Luo Jingjing knocked on the door and brought her a change of clothes.
"Hmm. An Qianyan raised her head to wash her body and agreed.
By the time she came out of the shower, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
"The guest room has been cleaned up, you go and rest first, I won't ask you anything today, let's have a good chat tomorrow." Luo Jingjing handed her a glass of warm milk and whispered.
An Qianyan was indeed sleepy and tired, so she nodded and walked into the guest room.
It was late at night, and it was silent.
Lying on the soft big bed, An Qianyan couldn't fall asleep over and over. Looking up, the inky sky was so charming, and the stars twinkled and blinked, as if dancing on the inky carpet.
She looked out the window at the night sky, and gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
*
In the early morning, the bright sunshine passed through the gaps between the leaves, through the mist, and sprinkled the entire room, in the morning light, An Qianyan woke up in a daze, and still blinked, and smelled the fragrance of porridge. Thinking of her best friend Luo Jingjing's good cooking skills, she suddenly felt in a good mood, and thought happily, it seems that she has a good fortune today.
Jumping out of bed excitedly, An Qianyan made the quilt and went out, walked through the bathroom, walked through the living room, and finally came to the dining table that made her happy: "Jingjing, it's just the two of us, why do you do so much?
Leaning her head out of the kitchen, Luo Jingjing smiled and explained: "It's rare for you to come back, today you turned your grief and anger into appetite and ate to your heart's content in my place." ”
"Good!" An Qianyan nodded.
My best friend took so much effort to make her a table of delicious food, how could she live up to her kindness?
The two of them had a full meal first, and Luo Jingjing's cooking skills were still so good, which made people want to eat it.
"Jingjing, your cooking skills are so good, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed. An Qianyan couldn't help but admire.
"Hey, I don't dare to get married now, scumbags are everywhere, and my in-laws are not fuel-efficient lamps, I think marriage is a set set by men for women, after I saw your situation, I am even more afraid of marriage. Luo Jingjing hurriedly waved her hand.
"Don't be discouraged by my affairs, there will always be good men, you should still believe in love. An Qianyan persuaded her.
Luo Jingjing looked at her seriously and asked, "What about you, do you still believe in love?"
"Let's talk about it when I divorce Ye Zhenwei. An Qianyan shook her head.
"You've said it again, I'll wait a little longer. Luo Jingjing shrugged.
"You are different from me, I am divorced and remarried, you are the first marriage, of course you have to hurry. An Qianyan pulled her lips with a straight face.
Luo Jingjing sighed: "I also want to hurry, but I'm afraid that the more anxious I am, the more likely I am to find the wrong person, in case I find someone like your Ye Zhenwei, who cheats on a junior younger than me after marriage, I would rather be an older leftover girl, and be lonely until I am old." ”
"In this way, you better be cautious, don't be like me, you were blind at the beginning, and regret it after marriage, the most unavailable thing in this world is regret medicine. An Qianyan said earnestly.
"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, why did you blow the cold wind outside alone last night, what happened?" Luo Jingjing then cared about her.
"What else can I do? Isn't it Ye Zhenwei's cheating on Cheng Qianqian, it's just that I overheard Ye Zhenwei's conversation with his mother and my mother-in-law after I woke up yesterday, and I knew that my mother-in-law already knew about him and Cheng Qianqian, and she intended to let Cheng Qianqian give birth to Ye Zhenwei and replace me. An Qianyan frowned and said irritably.
When Luo Jingjing heard this, she was furious: "What? Your mother-in-law actually asked Cheng Qianqian to give birth to your husband?"
An Qianyan pursed her lips and said: "The people of the Ye family have always wanted to hold their grandson, and I have been unable to conceive for a long time, and now the hospital has determined that I can't have children, and my in-laws have already said goodbye, and now Ye Zhenwei has found a young and beautiful junior, and my mother-in-law naturally hopes that Cheng Qianqian can give birth to her son, so that they can inherit the Ye family." ”
"Your mother-in-law really wants her grandson crazy, and she actually wants the junior to have a child? Don't they know that Cheng Qianqian is still studying? How did she give birth to Ye Zhenwei?" Luo Jingjing had a touch of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but question.
An Qianyan squinted: "I saw the ovulation test strip discarded by Cheng Qianqian in the trash can at home yesterday, it seems that she really wants to give birth to Ye Zhenwei, so as to squeeze me out of the position smoothly." ”
"It seems that this Cheng Qianqian is not simple, she already knows that a third party can be on the throne through pregnancy at a young age, you have to be careful. Luo Jingjing reminded cautiously.
"Anyway, I also plan to divorce Ye Zhenwei, she wants to get pregnant, and when the child is born, it just happens to confirm the fact that Ye Zhenwei cheated. An Qianyan sneered, her heart was already hurting to the extreme, and now she could only see through it.
Only by calming down will she be able to handle it all.
*
A few days later, Ms. Ahn's mother was able to be discharged from the hospital.
It was a rainy day, the air was cold and drizzling.
After An Qianyan took a few classes, she deliberately asked the school leaders for leave and went to the hospital to pick up her mother from the hospital early after work.
But when she rushed to the hospital, she found that Leng Haochen had actually arrived at her mother's bed.
"Mom!" she hurriedly walked over.
"Yanyan, are you here?" Su Qiuying was very happy to see her daughter.
"Mom, I'll take care of your discharge. An Qianyan whispered to her mother.
"No need, Haochen has done it for me just now, let's just discharge from the hospital." Su Qiuying said with a smile.
An Qianyan was stunned for a moment, quickly raised her head, and politely thanked Leng Haochen: "I'm sorry for you." ”
"Haochen came earlier than you today, and you chatted with me for a while......" Su Qiuying, with her support, walked towards the door of the ward, and said Leng Haochen's good with a smile on her face all the way.
An Qianyan listened silently.
Leng Haochen took the initiative to help Su Qiuying carry her luggage and followed behind them.
When they arrived at the parking lot of the hospital, Leng Haochen took the initiative to let Su Qiuying take his car, and his driver drove them back.
Su Qiuying was embarrassed, and when she got out of the car, she repeatedly asked Leng Haochen to eat at home.
In this way, Leng Haochen entered his mother's house.
Su Qiuying was discharged from the hospital after recuperating for a period of time, and her body had almost recovered, and as soon as she went home, she greeted Leng Haochen for dinner, and went into the kitchen with the nanny.
An Qianyan wanted to go to the kitchen with her mother to help, but her mother pushed her out and asked her to accompany Leng Haochen.
"I didn't expect you to come and pick up my mother from the hospital today. An Qianyan saw that the two of them were a little cold in the living room alone, so she couldn't help but find a topic to talk to him casually.
"If I say I want to see you, do you believe me?" Leng Haochen's dark eyes looked at her deeply, and his deep voice was magnetic and pure.
"......" An Qianyan's heart trembled, she didn't expect him to say this, she couldn't help but turn her face away, and deliberately changed the topic: "I'll go make you a cup of tea, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"
In fact, these kinds of teas are not available in her mother's house, An Qianyan just said casually to divert Leng Haochen's attention.
"Whatever!" Leng Haochen raised his eyebrows, and his deep gaze fell on her.
Since he said that it was casual, An Qianyan opened the drawer and saw what tea was in her mother's house, so she made him some tea.
In the end, I was busy for a long time and made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Leng Haochen.
In order to prevent him from saying some ambiguous things again, she simply turned on the TV in the living room and let Leng Haochen watch it.
He hid in his room and played with his phone.
After a while, dinner was finally ready.
The mother called them to eat.
At the dinner table, Su Qiuying seemed very happy, and kept asking Leng Haochen to eat fish, because fish was her specialty dish.
Leng Haochen sandwiched a small piece of fish meat, and then went to eat vegetables.
An Qianyan also likes to eat fish, and eats fish belly and fish head,
Su Qiuying frowned and counted her daughter: "Qianyan, why are you so old and ignorant, there are guests here, you don't know the scruples, you have eaten fish belly and fish head by yourself, do you want guests to eat fish tails?"
"It's okay, Mr. Su, I like to eat fish tails!" An Qianyan didn't have time to answer, but Leng Haochen answered for her.
Su Qiuying was surprised when she heard this: "Haochen, why are you like to eat fishtails like Yanyan and her father?" she said with a smile, but when she inadvertently mentioned her husband, her face stiffened.
Since Ahn Qianyan's father was imprisoned, her mother rarely mentioned him again, this time unconsciously.
Leng Haochen raised his hand and put the fish tail in his bowl, as if he didn't notice Su Qiuying's expression, and said calmly and calmly: "The fish is powered by the tail, and the fish tail meat is the most delicious, and only those who can eat it eat it." With that, he bowed his head to deal with the fishtail.
An Qianyan glanced at him, didn't say anything, and gnawed on her fish head.
When she buys vegetables, she never buys crucian carp, because there are too many spines, and only when her parents are here, she will eat crucian carp, but she usually only eats the head, belly, and tail, which has always been her father's task.
Unexpectedly, now that his father is gone, Leng Haochen also happens to like to eat fish tails, and a fish is eaten by them like this.
Su Qiuying saw that Leng Haochen said that he liked to eat fish tails, so she clipped another fish tail for him to eat.
Later, Leng Haochen had been busy with two fish tails, picking off the thorns one by one, and basically didn't eat other dishes.
And just like that, the dinner ended.
After the meal, Su Qiuying had to ask her daughter An Qianyan to send Leng Haochen.
An Qianyan was reluctant, but she couldn't resist her mother, and the most important thing was that Leng Haochen came to pick up her mother from the hospital in person today, and she really had to thank him.
So even if she didn't want to, An Qianyan personally sent Leng Haochen downstairs.
The two walked out of the corridor one after the other and walked towards the place where Leng Haochen parked.
An Qianyan reluctantly followed behind him, looking at the man's back, with broad shoulders and narrow hips, even walking is chic and extraordinary, not looking at the front and only talking about the back, there is a fatal attraction, just a word "handsome" is not enough to describe, and it is too thin to say "very handsome".
Suddenly, An Qianyan was ashamed to realize the poverty of her language, and she couldn't think of good words to perfectly interpret the charm exuded by Leng Haochen.
He was tall, well-proportioned, and elegant, and even the curvature of his arms was just right, as if he had practiced many times, and his every move was a model of dignity.
And his appearance is even more handsome and comparable to a movie star, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall and straight nose, and thin lips slightly pursed with cold sternness.
Shaking her head, An Qianyan retracted her gaze, trying her best to suppress her appreciation for a man from a woman's perspective.
She can't let go of her feelings, even if it's just appreciation, she can't have it.
You know, she's married.
Although her marriage to Ye Zhenwei has turned on a red light, after all, she is still married, she is not Ye Zhenwei, and she cannot fall in love with someone else during the marriage.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, what kind of woman does a man like Leng Haochen want?
And how could it be her turn?
She can't be like those little girls who don't know the world, thinking that if she has spent a night with this man, it is really possible to continue to develop.
