CHAPTER XXXV
The following days resumed the routine of step-by-step, Lu Shengnan went to work as usual, this year's business is obviously more than in previous years, the whole office is a busy scene; every Friday night Xiao Rui will fly from the capital to H City, and Lu Shengnan will also become a real family woman on the weekend, cook his favorite meals for Xiao Rui, change and iron clothes for him, make tea and read for him.
Xiao Rui often forgets to look at the briefing on his mobile phone, his eyes always follow her figure, more than ten years of blank, he thought that Lu Shengnan would not change, and he would be as wooden as he was in high school, but after more than ten years without him, she grew up so that he couldn't take his eyes off it; she took care of her life in an orderly manner, she ran her business prosperously, she was proficient in many hobbies, she read a lot of books, and his thoughts and insights made him only listen, and Xiao Rui couldn't wait for the arrival of the next weekend when he rushed to the airport every Sunday.
It's not that she didn't want to let her move to the capital to live with her, but Lu Shengnan refused, she couldn't let go of the firm she had run for several years, she couldn't let go of the clients and friends she had met at work, and she couldn't let go of the colleagues who had worked hard with her for a few years; the most important thing was that she didn't like the capital, Xiao Rui knew that she didn't want to remember her search for herself and the blank mood she felt at that time during the four years of college in the capital.
Once Xiao Rui asked her how she went to the blind date banquet that her aunt held for him at that time, he didn't think Lu Shengnan was such a boring person; Lu Shengnan smiled helplessly and said that her mother probably felt sorry for her hard work and wanted her to marry a rich man, Xiao Rui was silent for a while after hearing this, and suddenly asked her if she needed to inject her own capital and expand her firm into a construction company, Lu Shengnan immediately shook his head, Xiao Rui always remembered what she said at the time.
Her clear eyes looked at herself fixedly, first chuckled, then turned her head to look out the window and whispered: "Xiao Rui, I just want a simple life, with someone who loves me and I love him by my side, a few like-minded colleagues, a few confidants to talk to, and preferably a lovely daughterγγγγγγ"
After a pause, she turned her head to look into Xiao Rui's eyes and whispered: "Several of my clients appreciate my ability, and they have all offered to let them inject capital and set up a construction company with me at the helm, but I have refused. I don't see it, I only see that many of my customers are tired of socializing, some of them know that their bodies can no longer get drunk, but they still have to drink hard for the expansion of the company; some people even live their lives upside down because of entertainment, and some people are busy with the company's affairs and neglect to accompany their families, either the husband and wife are not in harmony, or the children are rebellious, or they can't even fulfill the most basic filial pietyγγγγγ Xiaorui, do you think they don't want to stop?"
She looked at herself for a while, shook her head lightly and looked out the window: "Xiao Rui, you know, they can't stop, the shareholders of the company, the various forces and relationships involved behind them don't allow them to stop at all! So they can only continue to be exhausted, even if they know that they will lose their health, relatives, and even their lives if they continue like this! I don't like this kind of life, I just want to work hard to manage my own life, I can be filial to my parents, I can accompany my lover, I can educate my children, and I don't miss her growth every dayγγγγγγ Xiao Rui, I γγγγγγ"
She turned her head to look into her eyes again and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Rui, I have actually only loved you alone, when I first met you last year, I didn't know what to say, I didn't know how to face you, I could only avoid youγγγγγγ; After going around in a circle or back to square one, I started again with you, I am very grateful that life can still allow me to be with the people who love me. Xiao Rui, I don't know what else you are hiding from me, I don't want to ask, I just want you to master the life that belongs to you and me, we have missed more than ten years γγγγγγ, and finally we are together again, I will cherish this love, and I hope you can cherish it. β
Hugged her into his arms, accompanied her quietly to look out of the window, Xiao Rui didn't say anything, there was a faint uneasiness in his eyes fleeting, he always remembered Lu Shengnan's words, and also remembered his mood when he listened to it at the time, he thought he could control everything, after more than ten years of loneliness and longing to get together with the girl he loved, he would cherish her love even more.
didn't know that everything was just his self-thought, and later every time he thought of Lu Shengnan's words at that time, he knew that Lu Shengnan could actually see so wisely, she actually reminded herself at the time, but she would be wrong, but she intensified her efforts to control everything.
Zhao Mohan will come to H City as long as there is no notice, firstly, to accompany the eldest brother, although he hated the regret he brought to Lu Shengnan at that time, but after all, he is the eldest brother who has loved him for many years, and he can't bear to see him depressed;
Every time he still gets together with Zhang Yi, Liu Yang and Li Xiaobai, Liu Yang just broke up with his girlfriend not long ago, and he loves to run to H City more and more, and it is very easy for several young people to get together.
Zhang Yi doesn't like to talk more and more, his expression is more stiff, and Li Xiaobai doesn't always like to tease him to talk like before, but he is like-minded with Liu Yang, and when he is drunk, the two brothers often hook their shoulders and back, at this time, Zhao Mohan will also come up to the three of them to sing a song "Walk Away in Style" that does not belong to their age.
Li Ruhan waited at the door of Lu Shengnan's house several times, trying to invite her to dinner or watch a movie together, thinking that she would slowly forgive herself, and it was best to start over with herself, especially when Zhao Mohan came to Lu Shengnan's house to drink tea, he would follow behind his younger brother, he had never been like this, even when Ye Ru broke off the marriage contract with him, he had not kept him in disregard of his self-esteem; Lu Shengnan would smile and refuse every time, the wording was polite and detached, but it did not hurt his face and dignity, so he never entered Lu Shengnan's house onceγ
More than two months passed unconsciously, Lu Shengnan's birthday was approaching, Li Ruhan remembered that when the two were together, he promised to spend a good birthday with her, he didn't leave the office in a hurry after getting off work on the weekend, first called his grandmother and said that he would not return to the capital on the weekend, and then leaned back in the chair and thought about how to make Lu Shengnan forgive himself, carefully recalled every reason she had said for refusal, and saw if she could find a reason why she couldn't refuse, and she could accompany her on her birthday, even if it was just a meal with her.
Until the neon lights in the city gradually lit up, Li Ruhan finally came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, he still didn't find any reason, picked up the mobile phone and handbag on the table and closed the door and left, no matter what, he still wanted to try his luck;
Lu Shengnan, wearing a white short-sleeved sports T-shirt, denim shorts, and white sneakers, was holding Xiao Rui's arm and looking at him and chuckling, while Xiao Rui, dressed in black casual clothes, was looking down at her with a doting and satisfied smile on his face.
Li Ruhan only felt that there was darkness in front of him, he felt that he must have seen it wrong, how could Lu Shengnan be so close to Xiao Rui, she has always been a steady and kind person, where can there be such a delicate and cute side, especially in the face of Xiao Rui has such an expression, can she forgive Aunt Xiao Rui for what she did to her? Can she forgive Xiao Rui for her and her design?
Shaking his head and staring at it, he couldn't help but take a step back, his heart was like a pinprick pain, he was not mistaken, that person was indeed Xiao Rui!
Hearing the movement behind him, Lu Shengnan turned around, his face was surprised at first, and then he smiled politely at him and then looked back at the elevator; Xiao Rui narrowed his narrow phoenix eyes slightly, and then said politely: "It turned out to be Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Li Ruhan didn't answer his words, strode up to the two of them, looked at Lu Shengnan fixedly, and asked, "Shengnan, why?"
Lu Shengnan knew what he was asking, looked up at him and replied, "There is no why, he appeared when I needed it most, so it was him." β
After speaking, the elevator arrived, pulled Xiao Rui in, pressed the tenth floor of Jianhou led Xiao Rui to take a step back, Li Ruhan then strode into the elevator, did not press the sixteenth floor of Jian, only stood in front of Lu Shengnan, just about to say something, Xiao Rui stepped in front of Lu Shengnan and looked at him, the elevator door slowly closed.
"Chairman Xiao, I'm talking to Katsuo, please let me go. β
"Mr. Li, I am Lu Shengnan's man, I can answer your questions instead of her, please don't scare her!"
After gasping and laughing, Li Ru looked at the man in front of him coldly: "Chairman Xiao, doesn't you know what the relationship between me and Shengnan was before?
"Impossible!"
Lu Shengnan walked out from behind Xiao Rui, first calmed Xiao Rui and then looked up at the man in front of him: "Ruhan, I know what you want to ask, this is not the place to talk, why don't we go to the coffee shop at the entrance of the community and say, I think you didn't have dinner either, let's eat together." β
After speaking, he pressed Jian on the first floor and stopped looking at him.
"Katsuo, can't I even enter your door now?
sighed lightly: "Ruhan, I don't want the smell of gunpowder at home, and I don't want you to feel more uncomfortable when you come to my house; β
When the elevator reached the first floor, Li Ruhan held the elevator door with one hand and looked at Lu Shengnan for a while, and turned around suddenly, Lu Shengnan hurriedly pressed the button to open the closed elevator door and walked out with Xiao Rui.
