Chapter 28: Simple Friends
The atmosphere was silent for a while, no one spoke again, and three people walked in front of them, and their eyes unconsciously paused on the man with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When they walked away, Mother Fritillary broke the silence: "I should thank you for helping our family during this time. You can rest assured, we will sell the cake shop as soon as possible and pool the money to pay you back. ”
The black eyes shrank, Lei Ziqian turned his head to look at her suddenly, a trace of anxiety rose in his eyes, and he pursed his lips and said, "Auntie, there is no need for you to do this. ”
Mother Fritillary shook her head, with a determined look on her face, this appearance reminded Lei Ziqian of Bei Xiaorou's insistence in the cake shop that night, and now that he understands the reason, he only feels a slight pain in his heart.
His face was slightly gloomy, and after pondering for a moment, a glimmer flashed in his dark eyes, and he turned his head to look at Mother Pei: "Auntie, you know best how much effort Miss Pei has put into this cake shop, are you really willing to do this?" ”
Mother Pearl's body trembled slightly, her hands on her knees were clasped tightly, with a face of self-blame and guilt, and she lowered her eyes and was silent.
Seeing that she really began to waver, Lei Ziqian immediately informed him that the property right certificate was in his hand a few days ago. Mother of Pearls opened her mouth slightly, looked at him in disbelief, and shook her head lightly, her eyes full of surprise.
Sensing that her originally firm heart was about to collapse, Lei Ziqian quickly said her thoughts and asked her to treat the property right certificate as a mortgage, just like borrowing money from a bank loan, so that she could not only avoid selling the cake shop, but also benefit both parties.
Mother of pearl listened in astonishment and stunned, rubbed her hands unconsciously and lightly, biting her lip, her brows furrowed more and more, and finally lowered her head and pondered.
Lei Ziqian just looked at her quietly, without urging her, but his still tight eyebrows revealed his mood at this time. Even when he was competing for projects with several companies and waiting for the results, he was never so nervous and looking forward to it.
After a long time, Mother Fritillary finally raised her head to look at him, there was a struggle in her eyes, there was an apology, and a hint of relief, she nodded, and dropped two words: "Thank you!" ”
The black eyes lit up suddenly, the corners of Lei Ziqian's lips were lightly hooked, the anxiety in his eyes was swept away, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and his already handsome face was outlined even more dazzling.
Mother Fritillary was also a little dumbfounded for a while, gathered her mind, and a sudden worry surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Lei, I have a reluctant request, I hope you can keep your distance from Xiaorou." ”
The smile on Lei Ziqian's face disappeared in an instant, he turned his head to look directly at the begging eyes of the mother-of-pearl, pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand what you mean. ”
With a light sigh, Mother Pearl's face became serious: "You have a prominent family background, a good character, and Xiaorou are people from two different worlds, the gap between you is too big, and getting too close will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”
As her words fell, Lei Ziqian's face became cold and hard, suppressing the anxiety that suddenly rose in his heart, he frowned slightly, and looked directly at Mother Pei's gaze that never took off: "Don't worry, Miss Pei and I are just simple friends." ”
Mother of Pearls looked at him carefully, and after a while, she took a light breath, nodded slowly, and said no more.
Lei Ziqian only felt a contraction in his heart, and an unknown irritability and loss rose up, and he frowned, not understanding where this feeling came from.
The leaves on the heads of the two of them swayed lightly in the wind, and the fine light and shadow jumped down, looking very cheerful, sprinkled on the petite figure standing next to the tree.
Bei Xiaorou's face was slightly pale, her eyes looked at the man's broad shoulders in a daze, covering her constantly tightening chest, biting her lip, and her eyes flashed with water. She hurriedly tilted her head slightly, holding back the tears that were about to well-up in her eyes, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Hearing the man's words to show the boundary, she didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable, until this time she finally understood her feelings, but unfortunately she was destined to not get a response.
Feeling more and more uncomfortable, she shook her head, did not disturb the two, and turned and walked towards the inpatient building.
The two of them didn't find out about Bei Xiaorou's existence at all, and after negotiating, Lei Ziqian wanted to send Bei Mu back but was politely refused. He was no longer reluctant, and stood there watching the mother of pearl walk into the building, his dark eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking, and only turned to leave after a while.
When the mother returned to the ward, she saw her daughter sitting on a chair with her head bowed, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, took off her coat, lifted the quilt and sat back on the bed.
Raising her head and looking at her mother in a slightly stunned manner, Bei Xiaorou panicked and restrained her emotions, got up to help her mother adjust the pillow behind her, so as to cover the gloom under her eyes.
didn't notice that something was wrong with her, Mother Fritillary kept a smile on her face, obviously in a good mood, took her hand, and whispered to her what she had just talked about with Lei Ziqian.
Pei Xiaorou had surprise in her eyes, and she was faintly annoyed.
She didn't understand that Lei Ziqian had no intention of treating her, so why did she help her again and again, so how could she restrain her feelings for him.
Biting her lip, she hung her head, her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to do.
Bei Xiaorou, who returned home, was in an unusually low mood all night, and she didn't know how to face Lei Ziqian in the future. She didn't take care of her emotions yet, but she didn't expect that the next day, a man suddenly appeared in the store, which caught her off guard for a while.
Lei Ziqian sat by the window, his black shirt made the whole person more and more cold and evil, the warm sun outside the window sprinkled down lightly from his shoulders, and his handsome face shimmered in the sunlight.
He tilted his head sideways, looking at the woman standing on the counter in a daze, Bei Xiaorou only felt a sudden suffocation in her heart, looked away in a panic, bit her lip, suppressed her disordered thoughts, and walked towards him.
walked directly to him, put a bank card in his hand on the table, looked at himself sweating slightly, clasped his hands tightly, and said softly: "Thank you for inviting me to make a cake at home last time, and for the opportunity to give Minghui a project, the money in this card will be returned to you first!" ”
Glancing at the bank card on the table, Lei Ziqian raised her eyes, her dark eyes looked at her lowered head darkly, her eyes moved slightly, and after a while, she picked up the bank card on the table, "I accepted the first repayment." ”
Bei Xiaorou raised her eyes and saw that he accepted the card, she breathed a sigh of relief, Lei Ziqian looked at her fixedly, and suddenly said: "My mother's business ......"
"It's fine." Bei Xiaorou hurriedly interrupted him, her clasped hands trembled slightly, a trace of astringency slipped under her eyes, and then she raised her eyes to look at him, revealing a light smile.
Lei Ziqian frowned, staring at her face tightly, as if he wanted to see the sharp light in the depths of her soul, which made Bei Xiaorou's heart tremble slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
Looking at her lowered head, her dark eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of unhappiness and anxiety in her eyes.
At the other end, a customer asked to settle the bill, Pei Xiaorou whispered sorry, and turned around and walked back to the counter. The man's eyes followed her figure closely, and even he didn't notice it, and there was a hint of tenderness in his focused gaze.
