17. The third chapter of the covenant
Nanxi returned to the office and no longer had the heart to work.
She looked at the clock on her computer desktop and waited for the minutes to pass. She decided that as soon as she saw Liao Yijiang returning to the office, she would immediately call Lu Zaiyuan to make an appointment.
She couldn't wait any longer, she had to find out what was going on with Lu Zhiyuan's man immediately!
But all morning, Liao Yijiang did not return to the office. She was so anxious that she made two phone calls upstairs and was told that the meeting was going on and that there was no end in sight.
Until the lunch break, her colleagues went out for lunch, and she was still in the office.
At half past 12, Liao Yijiang finally hugged the Wen Jiàn clip and returned to the media department with a tired face.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nanxi sitting alone in the big empty office, and was stunned for a moment: "You...... Are you waiting for me to have lunch with? ”
Because he remembered that he had asked Nanxi to have lunch with him in the morning, he took it for granted that Nanxi was waiting for him. But when Nanxi saw him, he asked, "Have you finished the meeting?" ”
"Yes......"
Liao Yijiang only said these two words, and Nanxi had already jumped up from his seat, picked up his bag, grabbed his mobile phone, and rushed out of the big office in three steps and two steps.
She ran into the hallway, dialing her phone as she went.
After connecting it, Lu Zaiyuan's voice came: "Xiaoxi? I know you're going to look for me, I'm in the office, you come up. ”
His relaxed attitude made Nanxi even more angry, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you think I'm embarrassed enough?" Everyone in the company is watching, and I went to your office, isn't it clear to cause gossip? Get out of the office! I have something to ask you, let's go out and talk! ”
"No!" Lu Zaiyuan replied to her slowly, "You know, I just took over the company and have a lot of things to do. The secretary has already ordered me lunch, and I'm eating, and by the way, I'm reading some Wen Jiàn. If you have something important, just go upstairs and come to me, if you're not in a hurry, you might as well wait until you get home in the evening......"
"Be careful when you speak!" Nanxi couldn't help but get nervous when she heard what he said to go home, "Is there anyone around you?" Why can't you go home? I can't wait! I'm going to ask you about it now! ”
"Then you can go upstairs, and I'll ask the secretary to order you another lunch." Lu Zaiyuan spoke gently, but he resolutely refused to compromise.
"Don't ......" Nanxi wanted to tell him not to let the secretary order her lunch, but before she could stop her, Lu Zaiyuan had already hung up the phone.
Nanxi was completely enraged, stomped his foot, turned around and rushed up the stairs, and ran upstairs in a hurry.
When I arrived at the door of the president's office, the secretary Jin Nana was calling the restaurant, and when I saw her, I quickly stood up and asked, "Assistant Nan, may I ask what you want for lunch?" ”
"Don't call me Assistant Nan, I'm not an assistant, and you don't need to order me lunch, I ate downstairs." Nanxi quickly replied to Jin Nana, raised her hand to push open the door of the president's office, stepped in, and closed the door with her hand.
I was angry, and the force of closing the door was inevitably greater. only heard the sound of "bang", which not only frightened Jin Nana outside the door, but also shocked the way where the house was eating.
He looked up and looked at her amusedly: "Wow! Wife! You really look like an electric mother, do you want me to incarnate as Lei Gong to cooperate with you? ”
Nanxi faced Lu Zaiyuan's indifferent and calm smiling face, and his anger was burning.
She stood across from his desk, crossed her arms, stared at his face for a long time, and asked, "The road is far away, you sue me, who are you?" ”
Lu Zaiyuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out two tissues and wiped his mouth. Then he stood up, stepped out from behind the desk, put his arm around Nanxi's shoulders, and took her to sit down on the sofa together.
He restrained the joking expression of the hippie smile and replied to Nanxi seriously: "Who am I?" I'm just a long way off. I was born in this city, and I lived in this city until I was six years old. Later, I followed my mother to Macau, and from Macau to England. I went to primary and secondary school in Macau, and high school and university in the UK. Although I majored in business management in college, photography has always been my hobby. I am a photographer and this freelance profession supports myself and provides financial support for my life and studies. After graduating I spent a few years in the London fashion scene and worked as a freelance photographer for a few years, and now I'm back, back to where I was born, and I want to do something. ”
He finished these words in one breath, and then said: "From birth to now, I am sincere enough, right? ”
Nanxi pondered his words twice, but still felt that something was wrong, so he continued to ask: "That's it?" I believe that what you say is true, but I also think that you are deliberately avoiding the important and trivial? Can you sue me why you are in front of me? Why did you marry me later? Why do you want to buy Zhimei's equity now? ”
She asked this, and Lu Zaiyuan lowered her eyes and fell silent.
Nanxi looked at his expression and knew that he had poked his sore spot. She leaned in front of his eyes, lowered her body and tilted her head to look him in the eyes seriously: "Why don't you speak?" I'm more concerned about why you're around me than where you go to elementary and middle school, why don't you speak? You're empty-hearted, aren't you? ”
Her face was so close that he could kiss her lips with a slight tilt of his head. But this time Lu Zaiyuan didn't tease her, he helped her aside, sighed softly, and said, "Nanxi, you are a smart woman, I know that there are some things that I can't hide from you." But can you give me a moment? I'll explain this to you in a few days......"
"You don't have to explain to me, we are strangers, and your business has nothing to do with me. But we are married now, and although I don't understand why, you have come into my life. If something happens to you, as your wife in the legal sense, maybe I will be implicated, so I must ask you about it. If you agree to a divorce and move out of my house, we have nothing to do with each other, and I will not come to ask you about it. ”
"Nanshio...... Do you want to get rid of me like that? I'm your husband......"
"You're not my husband!" Nanxi decisively denied, "We are not married by love, we are not willing, this is a joke." ”
"Love isn't the only way to get married, is it? Whatever the reason we got married, we are already husband and wife, can you try to see me as your husband? That way you won't be so angry with me, and we'll be more comfortable with each other, don't you think? Don't always think about divorce, maybe I'm a good husband, if you miss it, won't you regret it for life? ”
Usually accustomed to Lu Zaiyuan's banter, today he suddenly said these words with a very serious attitude, Nanxi didn't know how to deal with it. She tilted her head and turned her face slightly: "We've only known each other for a month, and we don't know each other, how can I be your husband?" Can you really treat me as a wife? Why bother with one another? As long as we return our lives to the way we were before we met, wouldn't it be better if there were no more troubles? ”
"Before we met?" Lu Zaiyuan laughed softly, "Before we met, you still had a boyfriend who had been in a relationship for four years, can he come back to you?" Nanxi, something has happened, and it is impossible for us to go back to the past. ”
Lu Zaiyuan's words touched Nanxi, she turned her face, lowered her head slightly, and did not speak.
Lu Zaiyuan saw that she was a little sad, so he raised his hand and put his hand on her shoulder and patted her: "Nanxi, I promise you, I will definitely not do anything to hurt you." As for some of my things, when the time comes, I will definitely sue you, okay? ”
Nanxi sniffed: "The time is ripe?" How long will that take? But I didn't want to snoop into your secrets, and since you can promise not to hurt me, I don't have to know your secrets. You are you, I am me, and the two of us have nothing to do with each other......"
When Nanxi said this, Lu Zaiyuan suddenly reached out, hooked her chin, and pulled her face towards him. He stared into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "How could it be irrelevant? You're my wife, you're so smart, so cute, how much I like you! ”
Nanxi stared at his face, and when he saw that his face did not change, he leaned forward, got closer to him, and continued to stare at him.
But he was still calm, with a serious face, and looked at Nanxi with firm eyes.
So Nanxi leaned forward again, almost touching the tip of his nose, and looked into his eyes with a more fierce gaze.
After the two of them confronted each other for more than ten seconds at such a distance and in such a posture, Lu Zaiyuan finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Nanxi showed a triumphant smile, retreated his body, leaned on the sofa, and looked at Lu Zaiyuan proudly: "Mr. Lu, you have to have confidence in lying, you can't even hold on for half a minute, and you dare to say that you like me?" ”
Lu Zaiyuan leaned on the sofa and laughed: "Where is my lack of confidence?" It's your appearance that is so funny, it's all cross-eyed, haha! ”
Nanxi also felt that he was staring too hard just now, and his eyes were sour. She rubbed her eyes, pulled Lu Zaiyuan up, and said to him, "Don't laugh! A little bit strict, I want to tell you a few things......"
"What's the matter?" Lu asked with a smile in the distance
Nanxi solemnly snapped his fingers and said, "Since you have entered Zhimei, we will inevitably meet in the company." I have a few requirements for you, first, don't call my wife outside; Second, don't force me to be your assistant, I want to keep my distance from you; Third...... Third, since you are so rich, there is no problem in buying a villa, so quickly move out of my house and live in the same room with a lonely man and a widow, you don't care, I still have to be a man......"
When Lu Zaiyuan heard this, he held her fingers and said: "I can promise you the first condition, as for what I want you to be an assistant, I don't mean to be difficult for you, I just arrived, I only know you in the whole company, and I can only trust you alone, of course I hope to put a trustworthy person by my side." But don't be in a hurry, you can think about this matter slowly...... As for moving...... I'm afraid not......"
"Why? You are so rich, don't you feel wronged to live in my house? You are fully qualified to live in a mansion! Nanxi really wanted to let him go.
Lu Zaiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I have to remind you that husband and wife have the obligation to live together, this is one of them. Second...... I don't have the money to live in a mansion, and if you kick me out, I'll be left on the streets. ”
"How is that possible? You can buy 50% of Zhimei's equity, how can you have no money? Nanxi didn't believe his words.
