Chapter 779: An Unexpected Invitation
In a café near the nostalgic building, two women sat facing each other, one of them was noble and elegant, ice clear and jade, and the demeanor was excellent, while the other was dignified and atmospheric, bright and moving, and had a graceful temperament.
Ye Jin looked at the woman opposite with a weak heart, her expression was a little cramped and uneasy, and her eyes looked in the direction of the company outside the window from time to time, as if she was waiting for something, and as if she was afraid of something.
She rarely does this, because she has always done things above board, even in front of her grandfather, she is always upright and upright, but today she is like a schoolboy who has made a mistake in front of the teacher, her heart is beating 'thump', as if it is about to pop out of her throat.
She had tried to control herself and make herself look as calm and calm as possible, but to no avail, every time she met the other person's eyes, she had a feeling of being seen in the light, as if she had been left to dry under an X-ray, without any reservations.
She hated the feeling.
"This is coffee for two, please use it slowly. The waiter put two cups of coffee on the table, bowed politely, and turned away.
Among the two cups of coffee, one is white coffee, its color is not white, but it tastes purer than ordinary coffee, and it is light and soft, mellow and aromatic, and the other cup is black coffee, that is, coffee without any modification, which combines the five flavors of coffee, sweet, alcoholic, sour and bitter, primitive and rough, rich and intriguing.
The appearance of coffee made Ye Jin not at a loss, she picked up the white coffee in front of her, took a sip gently, and covered up the embarrassment in her heart, but when she put the cup down, she found that the other party was still looking at her, which made her feel like she wanted to escape, but she knew that she couldn't escape, not to mention that the other party took the initiative to contact her, so she forced herself to put the cup on the table, looked at the woman opposite, and said with a smile, "Rumeng, when did you come to the capital? Why didn't you notify in advance?"
Yes, the other woman sitting across from her was Liu Rumeng.
Liu Rumeng kept looking at Ye Jin intently, and after hearing the other party's words, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Not long after I landed, I didn't mean to come, but I needed a turnaround." ”
"Oh!" Ye Jin showed an expression of sudden realization, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that the other party came on purpose, but it turned out to be just a turning point, "By the way, didn't you tell Dacheng?"
"Nope. Liu Rumeng shook her head.
"What a coincidence, he's just come back from England and he's in the company now, otherwise I'd have called him? I think he'd be very surprised. Ye Jin said with a smile, and at the same time had a sour feeling in his heart, he just welcomed people back, and he was going to send people out again?
"I know, when I got off the plane, I saw him. Liu Rumeng said lightly.
"What? a plane for the two of you?" Ye Jin asked in surprise, I hadn't heard Dacheng say it, besides, wasn't the reason why Dacheng came back was a temporary decision?
"No, we weren't on the same plane. Liu Rumeng looked at Ye Jin with straight eyes and said, "But when I left the airport, I saw him in the hall, and you!"
Ye Jin trembled, her face was full of surprise, she remembered the scene when she was in the hall, the two hugged each other, no wonder Rumeng's eyes were so sharp, she must have seen it, otherwise she shouldn't have been asked out alone.
Suffered!
Ye Jin suddenly panicked, she had a feeling of being caught stealing, she was really afraid of something, she was most worried that her relationship with Dacheng would be discovered like a dream, so she never went further, but she didn't expect to be seen by the other party with her own eyes, the world is too small, it will meet at the same time and place, is this a bit of a back?
"Rumeng, I think you misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Dacheng. Ye Jin hurriedly explained, "It's just a long-lost friend-style hug, you know, Dacheng has just come back from the UK, this kind of hug is very common in the UK, just like shaking hands, I, please believe me......" Ye Jin panicked a little incoherent in the end, she now regrets calling Li Dacheng, in this way, Dacheng will not come back, and the three of them will not meet in the airport.
"I know, what are you panicking about?" Liu Rumeng looked at Ye Jin with a smile.
"Panic, I didn't panic, I was just worried that you would misunderstand and explain it to you. Ye Jin shook his head, then picked up the coffee and drank it non-stop, to hide his true thoughts in his heart, and at the same time he was a little embarrassed.
Yes, the other party didn't say anything, what did he panic about, even if he said it, he and Dacheng didn't have anything in the first place, the relationship between the two was as pure as spring water, they didn't kiss their mouths, they didn't go to bed, they were really comrades-in-arms who could stand the test, and her current overreaction made people feel that there seemed to be something between her and Dacheng.
"You don't have to explain, you two have known each other for so long from Province A to the capital, if something really happened, it would have happened a long time ago, and you wouldn't have waited until now, wouldn't you?"
"Yes, yes, you're so right. Ye Jin hurriedly put the cup down, looked at Liu Rumeng opposite and nodded seriously, the other party knew that there was nothing to do with her.
But while being happy that she was not misunderstood, Ye Jin was also a little sad, could it be that something really couldn't happen between her and Dacheng?
Ye Jin couldn't help but set her eyes on Liu Rumeng's body again, her eyes were full of envy, it stands to reason that she and Dacheng knew each other before the other party and Dacheng, but she actually fell behind the other party, she is a strong woman, she is behind others for the first time since she was a child, and it is also related to the happiness of a lifetime, isn't it too miserable?
Shouldn't I be more proactive?
No, it's too late to take the initiative.
Even if she likes it, she doesn't want to destroy other people's feelings, if her happiness is based on destroying other people's happiness, then she would rather give up, no, wait, quietly wait.
"Rumeng, you asked me out, it wasn't just for a cup of coffee, right? Ye Jin adjusted his emotions, as the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts calling the door, and if you don't do anything sorry for the other party, there is no need to be weak-hearted.
"Don't say it, I really have a difficult thing now, I've been puzzled by it, I want to solve it but can't find a way, can you help me think about what to do?" Liu Rumeng didn't say anything polite to Ye Jin, and her warm attitude was as if the two were old friends who had known each other for many years, not at all like they were here to warn or catch a traitor.
"Really? Ye Jin asked curiously, isn't Dacheng a master who specializes in solving all kinds of difficult problems? Rumeng didn't even ask Dacheng, but came to ask her what would be the solution to it?
"That's the case, there is a couple who love each other, but they can't stay together for a long time because of their careers, do you think it's necessary for the relationship between them to continue?" Liu Rumeng looked at Ye Jin and asked, the serious expression on her face showed that she wasn't joking.
"......" Ye Jin was stunned after listening to Liu Rumeng's question, she quickly associated this question with the woman in front of her and Dacheng, she didn't know if the other party was really confused, or if he was testing her, but since the other party was able to ask this kind of question, did it mean that the other party's heart had already considered the possibility of not continuing?
If someone else asked her this question, she might have given some immature advice, but when she asked this question from Liu Rumeng's mouth, she couldn't answer it, not that she didn't have an answer in her heart, but about Dacheng's question, she was really hard to answer.
She doesn't know what Liu Rumeng really thinks in her heart, if the other party doesn't want to continue, and she answers to continue, then she has missed a good opportunity, but if the other party wants to continue, and if she doesn't continue, there is a suspicion of destroying other people's feelings, once the other party is just a temptation, wouldn't it expose her true thoughts?
Tangled
"Rumeng, you know, I've never had a boyfriend, and I don't know anything about things between men and women, let alone such emotional problems, so, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. Ye Jin thought for a while and said, thinking that it would be safer to say so.
"What if it were you, how should you choose?" Liu Rumeng didn't seem to intend to let Ye Jin go easily, as if she also expected whether the other party would fight, so she changed her way and continued to ask.
"Is it me?" Ye Jin felt like she had been cornered, "I don't know." She shook her head.
"Okay, let me ask another question, career or love, which one will you choose? This time you can't still say you don't know, right? Think about it, maybe you will have to face this problem in the future. Liu Rumeng said with a smile, her eyes kept flashing, and she seemed to have other deep meanings.
"Career and love, can't they be put together?" Ye Jin asked curiously, if she could be with Dacheng, wouldn't she combine career and love?
"You can't have both fish and bear's paws!" Liu Rumeng shook her head, her heart full of bitterness.
Ye Jin tasted Liu Rumeng's words, thinking that he had become a career in the past two months and went to Europe, and suddenly understood what Liu Rumeng meant.
"If ......it's me," Ye Jin thought for a while and said, "In the past, I focused on my career, and everything else didn't feel important, which is why I went to Province A, but now I feel that love should be more important, people in different periods, different circumstances, will have different ideas, maybe I am already satisfied with my current career, so this matter should be determined according to each person's situation, and it cannot be generalized." ”
Ye Jin said very truthfully and tactfully, not only expressing his inner thoughts, but also not leaving a handle for the other party.
Liu Rumeng thought carefully about Ye Jin's words, although this was not the answer she wanted, but it could bring her some references. "So, if such a true genius appeared in front of you now, you would definitely give up your career?"
"I think so. After Ye Jin finished speaking, he felt that this answer might be a little unrealistic, so he added, "But I don't think I will completely give up my career, but just focus my life on love." ”
"What if you had to choose one or the other?"
"I don't think anything is certain, especially in love and career, do women have to give up everything for love, be a follower all day long, like a shadow, inseparable? Maybe he was too focused on this issue, but Ye Jin calmed down in his heart as he spoke. is no longer as weak as before, "And I think that even if two people are together, they must leave a certain amount of space for each other, and they will get tired of being together for a long time every day. ”
Liu Rumeng slowly picked up the cup on the table, put it to his mouth and took a sip, the mouth was sour and bitter, but after a long time, he could feel the sweetness in it, the center of gravity, space, this answer is interesting.
"If a woman appears next to your boyfriend at this time, this woman is very good, and they work together, spend more time together than you spend together, and they still have a good impression of each other, and you can't stay by your boyfriend's side every day, what will you do?" Liu Rumeng suddenly asked, her eyes sharp, and she never left Ye Jin.
"I ......" Ye Jin was about to say but stopped abruptly, where was this asking her a question, it was clearly asking her a problem.
She looked at Liu Rumeng quietly, and sure enough, the other party doubted the relationship between her and Dacheng, otherwise, why would she ask such a question?
"Like a dream, I ......" Ye Jin's face showed an embarrassed expression, she knew that when a woman recognized something, it was impossible for others to change the woman's mind, as a woman, she knew very well that on some issues, women were dead-eyed, and so was herself.
"What do you say......" Liu Rumeng interrupted Ye Jin's words and said lightly, "Ancient men were all three wives and four concubines, how did those women get along with each other?"
"Huh?" Ye Jin was stunned, what did this mean, why did he mention three wives and four concubines?
"You say, what does it feel like for an ancient woman to be willing to share her beloved man with other women?" Liu Rumeng didn't seem to see Ye Jin's surprise, and continued to talk to herself.
“……”
"You say, do men like the new and hate the old?"
“……”
"You say ......"
