Chapter 24: Don't dare to take risks
It was lunch time, most of the office buildings around the mall, many workplace personnel came here to forage for food, Chen Fangning looked at Qi Xiaoran, and then looked at An Qing opposite, there were pedestrians walking by from time to time, she felt that in these two people, it seemed that time and everything were still.
Qi Xiaoran looked at the people opposite, there was only an escalator in front of them, but there was an illusion that they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
The two looked at each other for less than half a minute. Soon, she saw An Qing calmly look away, turned around and continued to choose jewelry.
"Xiao Ran, are you okay?" Chen Fangning pulled her arm worriedly, pulling her away.
"Well, I'm fine. Qi Xiaoran pulled out a very faint smile at her, which was a bit bitter, which was fully revealed.
Seeing her like this, Chen Fangning turned her head suspiciously and glanced at the door of the jewelry store just now, "Xiao Ran, tell me honestly, what do you think now?"
"What do you think?"
"You and my cousin, don't you want to hide and have a secret crush like before?"
Qi Xiaoran opened her mouth, she hadn't thought about this question carefully, she hadn't fully digested the fact that An Qing and Xiang Nuanyang knew each other.
"Don't be cranky. Chen Fangning saw her hesitant look, and knew that she had guessed correctly, and raised her hand to put her thin shoulder, "My cousin has nothing to do with An Qing, they are not what you think." ”
"If there is any spark of love between them, they have been together eight hundred years ago, where is there anything about Fu Yun!"
"I didn't think about anything......"
"I didn't think about anything, so what are you doing now?" she interrupted Qi Xiaoran's muttering impatiently.
Qi Xiaoran took a deep breath, paused, and her clear eyes were dyed with a hint of sorrow, "I'm just worried that if An Qing knows my thoughts, with her personality, maybe she will do something extreme." I really can't imagine. ”
"You're in a dead end again. Chen Fangning didn't care, "You are in love with my cousin, not with An Qing, what do you care about An Qing!"
"Besides, take 10,000 steps back, it's useless for you to retreat now, even I can see that my cousin is interested in you, are you willing to refuse him?"
Qi Xiaoran glanced at her obliquely and did not answer her.
What Chen Fangning said was not unreasonable, but what she was worried about was never what An Qing would do to her, the most important thing was Fu Yun.
Fu Yun's condition finally improved a little, and there was no room for stimulation and accidents, with An Qing's temperament, it was very likely that after learning her intentions for Xiang Nuanyang, she had the intention of looking for Fu Yun.
For Fu Yun, An Qing is the biggest source of stimulation, and she really doesn't dare to take risks.
"Sunday is Christmas Eve, do you have any plans?"
"Don't mention it, I'm going to see the parents of the female ticket on the weekend, I really don't want time to pass so quickly!"
When I got off work, my colleagues were talking about the arrangements for Christmas Eve on the weekend, and Orange retracted her attention, and saw Qi Xiaoran at the table looking at her mobile phone, so she walked over curiously, propped her hands on the table, and asked closely: "Xiaoran, what about you? Are you going on a date with your boyfriend on Christmas Eve?"
Qi Xiaoran was about to look at WeChat, and when she heard her question, she looked up and saw her gossipy expression, and shook her head with a smile, "I don't have a boyfriend." ”
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly quickly pulled out a tissue to cover her mouth and nose, and sneezed quietly and forbearantly.
Seeing this, the heroine on the orange tattoo frowned, "Your cold is not well yet?"
"No, over and over again. Qi Xiaoran smiled weakly at her, took out two tissues from the paper drawer and held them in his hand, picked up the bag, and got up, "Let's go, didn't you say that you would go to eat Japanese food at night?"
"You've got a cold, let's eat hot pot instead!"
As the temperature gradually decreased, the sky got dark early, and everyone began to rush home early after work, and the two elevators were often overcrowded.
Orange saw that there were two long queues at the elevator entrance, so he quietly dragged Qi Xiaoran to the exclusive elevator at the side door.
Aike Group does not set up a high-rise exclusive elevator, just because the side door elevator is facing the parking lot on the first floor, which is generally taken by senior leaders, and the middle and low-level employees often avoid the leaders, and slowly, the side door elevator is defaulted to the "high-rise elevator".
"Orange, that's not appropriate. Qi Xiaoran glanced back at the crowd in line and followed her into the security door.
Orange raised her eyebrows disappreciably, raised her chin at her, and looked behind her, "What's wrong, look, aren't there a bunch of people coming behind you!"
Qi Xiaoran wanted to say something, but someone pushed her from behind, and her shoulder hit the wall, and before she could turn around, Orange had already pushed her back and squeezed into the elevator.
The elevator door of the side door is transparent, and she can see the scenery of the parking lot on the first floor, and when she stood and turned around, she immediately saw three familiar figures standing in the parking lot: Xiang Nuanyang, Chen Tezhu, and a woman in a royal blue jumpsuit that she had seen a long time ago.
As the elevator continued to descend, this time, she finally saw the woman's side face, and only then did she understand why she had a familiar feeling at that time, because that woman was An Qing.
In other words, An Qing had already come back once half a year ago.
"The woman downstairs doesn't look like the one we saw downstairs before?"
"Which one?"
"It's the woman who went to Xiang Zong's office to find him before, and it's rumored to be his girlfriend!"
The people in the elevator leaning against the door also noticed the three people in the parking lot like Qi Xiaoran, and the discussion instantly became quiet when the elevator door opened.
At the elevator door, the crowd quickly dispersed. An Qing happened to finish talking to Xiang Nuanyang and was about to drive her car away, when she heard the movement around her, she subconsciously looked over and saw Qi Xiaoran.
She stood behind the crowd that was pouring out of the booth, her hands folded and the chain of her satchel folded, and there seemed to be some kind of glimmer of light somewhere on the left side of her face.
Xiang Nuanyang noticed An Qing's strange appearance, and followed her line of sight to see Qi Xiaoran, and the dark waves in her eyes surged.
"Orange, why are you lagging behind?" Qi Xiaoran waited outside the elevator for a while, for fear that the people behind him would notice him, and lowered his head and shoulders as much as possible to reduce his sense of existence, and when he waited for Orange to come out of the elevator, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly reached out to the orange and grabbed her, "Let's go." ”
"There are too many people, I was standing by the door, and I was squeezed to the back by the people in front and back, I was really depressed!" Orange raised his other hand that was not held and straightened his hairstyle.
While following Qi Xiaoran's pace, she casually swept the surrounding luxury cars, and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Xiang Nuanyang, who was still standing in place, and immediately straightened her waist in good spirits, and pulled Qi Xiaoran's hand to stop, "Xiao Ran, it's Xiang Zongye, let's go over and say hello!"
"No, no. Qi Xiaoran had already felt two burning eyes behind her from the time she waited for the orange just now, staring at her tightly. At this moment, she just wants to get out of here as soon as possible, "Mr. Xiang should be talking to people about things, and it's not good for us to take the liberty of the past." ”
She whispered, but the man was already being dragged away by the oranges.
Under Xiang Nuanyang's gaze, she didn't dare to turn around and leave directly too blatantly, after all, the oranges who were walking with her had volunteered to say hello, and she left directly, which was easy to arouse the suspicion of others.
"Xiang is always good!" Orange pulled Qi Xiaoran over, stopped a few steps away from Xiang Nuanyang and them, raised his voice, and grinned at him.
The expression on Xiang Nuanyang's face was still cold and detached, and he bowed slightly to the orange who had already opened his mouth to say hello, and then his cool eyes looked at Qi Xiaoran, who was silent with his head bowed on the side.
Orange noticed his gaze, and immediately reacted, tugged at Qi Xiaoran beside him, and reminded in a low voice: "Xiaoran." ”
Qi Xiaoran gritted his teeth, never dared to raise his head, and whispered: "It's good to be good." ”
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's groan, and because she lowered her head and the sky had darkened, she couldn't see her expression clearly in Xiang Nuanyang, and she only avoided her gaze and gaze like this to avoid suspicion.
"You...... Let's go home or go to dinner?" he paused for half a second as soon as he spoke, and quickly changed the subject.
Qi Xiaoran was terrified when she heard it, in front of her was the scorching gaze of Xiang Nuanyang, and beside her, it was An Qing's inquiring gaze. She was so nervous that her neck began to move, even with her head down.
Orange was overjoyed and pulled Qi Xiaoran's hand again, and she clearly noticed that Xiang Nuanyang's eyes were looking at Qi Xiaoran when she was asking.
"Back to Mr. Xiang, my colleague has a cold, we are about to eat hot pot!" She turned her head to look at Qi Xiaoran, and saw that she just lowered her head, not knowing whether she was too happy or too nervous, so she had to purse the corners of her lips and answer Xiang Nuanyang's question just now.
Xiang Nuanyang let out a soft "um" and withdrew his gaze that fell on the top of Qi Xiaoran's head.
An Qingmo, who was standing next to her, observed their conversation, and faintly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything was wrong for a while.
After Qi Xiaoran and Orange left, she still looked at Qi Xiaoran's back, "Nuan Yang, do you care so much about your employees?"
Xiang Nuanyang turned his head and glanced at her flatly, his lips hooked up with a smile but not a smile, "It's not too early, you should go back." ”
An Qing looked at him, her red lips opened slightly, and then she pursed her lips as if she didn't care, raised her eyebrows slightly, waved at him, and drove away in her own car.
