Shen Xingye had just finished a conference call when he heard three knocks on the door.

The gentle and familiar rhythm made him think he was delusional—

"Why are you here?"

Before Zhao Anyue could speak, Shen Xingye recognized her footsteps.

"Mother Wu said your clothes are dirty and you need a new one in the afternoon. I...... It happened that nothing happened, so I came over. ”

Zhao Anyue put the suit on the chair in front of Shen Xingye.

"If you have time to rest at home, just let Lao Zhang send this kind of trivial matter. Shen Xingye said lightly.

"Oh. I just want to ......"

Zhao Anyue glanced at the coffee stain on Shen Xingye's chest, and the taste of a blind person who must bow down seems to be really not very comfortable.

"Oh yes, I just saw Sister Yun in the elevator. She said that Xiaoqiang has ...... So I came back to work early, and I was going to introduce a secretary ......"

"Zhao Anyue, are you here to catch the traitor?" Shen Xingye put the mug he was fiddling with on the table.

Zhao Anyue was stunned and helpless, and involuntarily sighed.

"No, it's not...... I'm not ......."

"Less nonsense, didn't you deliberately want to come and see, what kind of woman is the new secretary next to me?"

After speaking, Shen Xingye coldly picked his lower lip, stood up and moved to Zhao Anyue's side. Then he raised his hand and grabbed her slender wrist, and without saying a word, he grabbed her onto the sofa.

"Hoshino!"

The man's breath was pressed over, and the brown pupils were hollow with light, but there was a meaningful persistence and concentration.

"Beautiful and elegant female secretary, excellent academic background, excellent work ability, plus the ambiguity of daily intersection...... Zhao Anyue, are you really getting more and more like Mrs. Shen?"

"No!" Zhao Anyue was so shocked that she was incoherent, she could hardly tell whether Shen Xingye at this moment was serious, or joking with her.

Feeling that his defense seemed to be meaningless, the man's aggressive gaze penetrated into his increasingly numb spinal cord little by little.

Zhao Anyue gritted her teeth and simply raised her face: "I'...... Even if I really have such worries and crises, it is not unreasonable. ”

"Yes, a woman is always jealous of an equally beautiful animal. Shen Xingye pressed Zhao Anyue's shoulder with one hand, and raised her small chin slightly with the other hand, "But, whether she is beautiful or ugly, has a fart relationship with me! Zhao Anyue, are you stupid? Can I see it!"

Zhao Anyue: "......"

"What's more, do you really think that even now I am still interested in something as boring as beauty? It's a miracle to fall in love with you-"

For a while, Shen Xingye and Zhao Anyue's movements froze. It's like being suddenly frozen by 502 glue.

The atmosphere of silence fermented between the two with bad intentions, and the oppressive illusion in the air was suffocating.

Zhao Anyue opened her mouth for a long time and said slowly: "Hoshino...... You just said...... Yes, is it true?"

"Fake. Shen Xingye raised his head slightly, and half his palm supported the angle of his upper body.

"Oh. Zhao Anyue closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and turned her face to the other side, "I may have misheard......"

It must have been misheard.

How could Shen Xingye say that he was in love with her? How could he really be in love with her?

But in the next second, before Zhao Anyue could digest the unbelievable surprise just now. Shen Xingye suddenly pulled her cheek vigorously and kissed her directly!

"You idiot. ”

He pressed Zhao Anyue, who was stiff like an electric shock, and made a bad invasion on her soft lips.

Probably because I couldn't feel the woman's flexible reaction, I only laughed in my heart at her shyness like a strange little rabbit.

Finally, he lifted his eyelashes, greedily imagining the silhouette of the woman in front of him.

The slender fingers traveled inch by inch along her cheeks, hair, lips, and neck......

Zhao Anyue ...... If I never see you, don't I...... Can't I be in love with you?"

"Hoshino ......"

Zhao Anyue raised her hand and stroked the inch-inch-by-inch silhouette of the man in front of her: "You still don't fall in love with me, it's really ......"

"Are you afraid?" Shen Xingye held her hand, gently leaned to his lips and kissed him, "Afraid that my life will be hard, afraid that the women I have liked will not die well?"

"No......" Zhao Anyue bit her lip and held it hard so that the tears did not fall, "I'm afraid I'll believe it." I'm afraid I really thought that you ...... I'm afraid that one day, when you drive me away again, I really can't bear it......"

At that moment, Shen Xingye seemed to understand that for Zhao Anyue, he went from hatred to disgust, from disgust to ignorance, from ignorance to pity, from pity to the only ...... This process is difficult to sustain but gradual and progressive.

But for Zhao Anyue, her feelings for him are only very simple -

From love to fear, every step is careful.

It's not that she's worried that she can't wait for the same emotional giving, she's just worried that she won't be able to believe it at all.

"I don't bother to prove it in any way other than you. ”

I felt that a flood of emotions exploded from the deepest part of my body, and every inch of Shen Xingye's skin seemed to be enchanted, and he just wanted to crush the woman in front of him and fit it into his body.

But—

"It's been almost four months, isn't it?

"I ...... I'm a little scared......" Zhao Anyue trembled her shoulders, her cheeks flushed, "Otherwise, don't ......"

"You're talking lightly, I'm going to meet a very important customer later, the trousers you brought you...... Is it a plus-size loose type?"

"But ......" Zhao Anyue only felt that she was about to faint with shame. In her lifetime, or in her cognitive world, how could she bring this kind of thing to Shen Xingye in person?

But that's what she really said.

In a particularly healing tone, as if helping an old lady cross the street, he said, "Do you need help?"

Shen Xingye really hated to strangle her......

Hate to hate, help to help. Although Shen Xingye felt that the feeling was the same as receiving some kind of punishment, it was really better to do it yourself!

Shen Xingye thought that in order to make it convenient for Zhao Anyue to send him to and from work, he asked her to go to school.

Now I feel that I regret letting her go to the manual file.

Probably the disadvantage of all female drivers is that once they encounter a particularly urgent and tense situation, they will firmly grasp the gear handle.

- Really won't pinch it!

When Zhao Anyue escaped from the office, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

The scene that happened just now was enough for her to blush and her heart beat to the fetal heartbeat-

Leaning against the wall of the bathroom, Zhao Anyue gently stroked her lower abdomen with both hands.

It was at that moment that she felt the fetal movement for the first time. Like a small fish bubbling, grunt.

For a moment, she was so excited that tears were about to fall.

According to the doctor, it will be more than half a month to see the gender. She can't wait for this child to be an important part of her life.

Although, she didn't dare to delve into it, and she didn't dare to wonder if Shen Xingye's blurted out love was because of the unexpected arrival of this child.

***

"Uncle Du, Aunt Du. I have called you here today because I have something very important to discuss. ”

Shen Xingye sat in a high-end Italian afternoon tea restaurant and elegantly blew the coffee in front of him.

The force was gentle, and he didn't want to get two sets of clothes soiled by coffee in one day.

Du Weilin and Qin Manman sat opposite each other in a little dazed, and after glancing at each other, they once again turned their gazes to Shen Xingye.

"Hoshino, but there's news from our family Xueqi?"

Since Du Xueqi's disappearance, her parents have been white-headed almost overnight. Qin Manman, in particular, has obviously developed mental illnesses such as auditory hallucinations and frailty.

I suddenly received a call from Shen Xingye today, saying that I wanted to meet with them. The hearts of the two of them, who were almost desperate, suddenly seemed to be ignited again.

"I'm sorry, I don't know Xueqi's whereabouts. But I think I should be able to give you some clues. ”

Shen Xingye said, took a stack of materials from Ling Jue, who was standing behind him, and handed it to the Du family couple.

"On the evening of the day of Xueqi's disappearance, I, as the last person to see her, had already recorded a full confession at the police station. ”

According to surveillance and witnessing, Xueqi was held hostage from the car by a group of people after leaving the main entrance of the hotel.

She was treated unfortunately, but she was not alive or dead.

And this unclear fact is like a huge blunt knife that slows down the heart of a parent little by little.

"Hoshino, anyway, we Xueqi and you have known each other since childhood. Who did the poison to her for what, you must tell us the truth. ”

Facing the Du family couple who were getting more and more emotional, Shen Xingye waved his hand lightly, signaling them to listen to him first.

"If I had solid evidence, I would have provided information to the police a long time ago. But because this matter has been my guess until now, I ......"

After speaking, Shen Xingye stood up and bowed deeply to the two.

"I'm really sorry, aunt and uncle. Xueqi's matter is hard for me to blame. ”

In the disbelieving eyes of the Du family couple, Shen Xingye slowly explained the truth of the matter: "Xueqi has been my secretary before, and I have a confidential document in my hand, which is a patent document for special materials for the third phase of the 'Thames View' project. On the day of her accident, she came to the venue to deliver me documents. But later...... At the first scene of the crime, in addition to her portable wallet, mobile phone, etc., the document was also missing. When I recorded my confession before, I did hide this detail. Because I can't just publicize this matter, I'm worried that competitors will preemptively register if they find out that we have lost our patent certification qualifications. But just a few days ago, I found out that my second uncle, Shen Qiufang of the Shen Group...... He has registered the patent I lost in its entirety. In order to ensure the progress of the project, I had no choice but to agree to him to invest in the shares in the form of intellectual property rights and get a piece of the pie. ”

"What do you mean, you mean, it was your second uncle who killed my daughter?" Qin Manman couldn't sit still, and almost jumped up from his chair and threw himself in front of Shen Xingye.

"Auntie, I wasn't sure at first. Because I never believed that my second uncle was this kind of person. What's more, if you want to take the patent from me, there is a way. He didn't need to deal with Xueqi, an innocent girl, like this. Isn't it?"

"That's right, not to mention that Xueqi is very close to your Shen family, and your grandfather liked her very much at first. Du Weilin said, "At that time, he strongly opposed your relationship with Miss Bai, and specifically mentioned to us about you and Xueqi. But at that time, we also considered that your mother and Xueqi and her uncle were distant relatives, and they were still a little awkward in terms of generation. But your grandfather said it himself, brothers and sisters who are not related by blood are not brothers and sisters, and said that it is better for you to marry Xueqi than to follow Miss Bai. We've seen your second uncle's man, how could he do such a thing—"
