I don't know how long I sat there. Thoughts are interrupted by a phone ringtone.

"Hey." I spoke softly. The sound is very small. Barely audible.

"You ......" Wen Yimo seemed to want me to ask me what was wrong. But just say the word "you" and there is no follow-up.

The conversation changed. Restore the stern appearance of the boss to the subordinates." Secretary Liu. Ten minutes left to get to work. If you don't come again, I'll deduct your salary."

I'm lukewarm. He replied lightly: "You haven't told me that I have a salary."

"I'll give you ten minutes to dare to come to the company." His voice just fell. I hung up.

I walked forward with my head down and depressed. Look at the shadow of yourself on the ground reflected on the road. A little more lonely.

All the way back to the company. My mind hadn't fully woken up from that conversation. My heart aches.

Wen Yimo put his hands around his chest. Lean in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Staring at me intently." You're late. Secretary Liu."

"Mr. Wen. I want to resign." I took a deep breath. Raise your head and look at him. Repeat." I want to resign."

The voice is surprisingly calm.

Just this moment. I decided to give up.

Give up the only chance to see Wen Yimo up close.

After resigning. It can't be like this anymore.

Wen Yimo grabbed my wrist. His eyes instantly turned cold." Resign. If you say resign, resign. It's up to you."

I bit my pale lip. Sue yourself and can't be selfish anymore. It's time for the emotional entanglement between the three of us to end.

Originally, Wen Yimo and Wang Yuan were able to smooth their engagement. Then they got married, had children, and went to the white head......

Because I came back suddenly. A series of events have occurred that no one can predict in advance. so that they could not get engaged.

If there is no me. They will be so happy.

I shouldn't have come back.

Long. only to let go of the bitten lip. Said the thing I regret the most in my life." I think we're all the same. I don't want to have too much entanglement with each other. Why don't we take a step back."

The heart hurts. But the words are merciless.

"Take a step back. You think that the grievances and hatreds between me and you can be broken." Wen Yimo's eyes became colder and colder when he looked at me. Grabbed my shoulders and pushed them against the wall. The whole person is bullied." LIU Chenxi. I sue sù you. You can't pay me back."

I turned my head. Don't look at him. The more I look at it, the more it hurts." What the hell are you going to do to let me go?"

"Stay by my side. Always at your disposal. When I'm satisfied. When will I let you go." Wen Yimo lowered his eyes and stared at me." You can rest assured. You'll be paid what you deserve."

"Wen Yimo. Interesting?"

Why dwell on it.

If you, me, and Wang Yuan continue to entangle, it will only be more painful. With all three of them are miserable. It's better to let me quit. Let me bear it alone.

Wen retorted with indifferent words: "I don't mean it. It's you who said it yourself. If you owe me, you will pay me back."

"That'...... I was very confused. I ......" I lowered my head slightly. The sound is very soft. Halfway through it, I can't say it anymore.

Wen Yimo tightened his hand gripping my shoulder. As if he had made up his mind, he said, "I want you to pay it back for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I will be entangled with you for the rest of my life."

I was stunned. Look at him in amazement. Trying to find a hint of banter in those eyes staring at me. There's anger, there's disgust. Only there was no banter.

Just look at each other closely. Each with his own heart. Silence.

Long. He let go of me. Reach out and tear off the imprisoned tie and throw it to the side seat.

"Work." Wen Yihe spit out two words coldly. Break the silence.

I absentmindedly picked up "Real Estate Finance". I don't even have the heart to memorize. Staring at a book in a daze. One sitting is an afternoon. I didn't turn a page until five o'clock.

A pleasant ringtone pulls me back into reality. Wen Yimo answered the phone. Yuanyuan."

"Hmm. Good. I'll see you later."

Hang up. He walked out of the office across the body from me. Before leaving, he looked at his phone and said, "I won't work overtime today. You go back."

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one in the office except him. It's just me. I would have thought he was talking to someone else.

I looked at the empty seat across from me. I feel a little sad inexplicably. Usually he works overtime until late before leaving work. I even gave him the nickname "workaholic".

Now he left work early for Wang Yuan's phone call. Thankfully, he was able to eat on time today. Rest on time.

I don't know if I should laugh or be sad.

It's rare not to work overtime once. Tomorrow is the weekend again. You can accompany An Ming well.

I gave Xu Chenyi a call. Tell him you don't have to pick up An Ming. I'll go personally.

An Ming stood at the door of the classroom with his schoolbag on his back. Standing on tiptoe and looking around expectantly. Finally saw me in the crowd. He ran over and grabbed me with a grin. Surprise yelled, "Mom."

"An Ming." I crouched down and picked him up. I didn't expect this little guy's face to change suddenly. Fleshy little hands wrapped tightly around my neck. His chin rests on my shoulder. Sullen.

I patted him on the back. Softly asked, "What's wrong?" Baby."

He pouted aggrievedly. Don't speak.

It's been too busy lately. Often work overtime. There was no time to pick him up from school. Must be.

I pinched his little face. The flattering said, "Ouch. My baby. Don't be angry with your mother. Mommy will take you to ice cream as compensation?"

He still didn't speak.

"Then mom promises you. I'll try to pick you up when I have time in the future."

An Ming raised the corners of his lips. nodded. Mommy counts when she talks."

"Good. Let's pull the hook." I hold out my little thumb. An Ming immediately hooked. He shook his fingers. Reminded: "If you pull the hook, you can't lie to me."

"Hmm. Mom does what she says."

An Mingban kissed me on the face. Smile so brightly. White teeth are slightly exposed.

He's always so easy to be satisfied.

On the weekend, Xu Chenyi, Jiang Kexin, and I took An Ming to the playground together.

Jiang Kexin hugged An Ming and sat on the merry-go-round. One big and one small had a good time.

Xu Chenyi and I were chatting on the side. I take a sip of juice. Squeezing his eyebrows at Xu Chenyi." improperly" hinted at him." Kexin likes children very much. When do you plan to ...... Hmm."

Xu Chenyi waved his hand a little shyly. No hurry, no hurry. Besides, you're not still single."

I tilted my head and said, "I'm single. That's right. But it doesn't stop you two from developing further."

This does not conflict.

Xu Chenyi raised his forehead. He sighed and said, "Kexin said. You didn't solve the life's problems. Then she and I will drag."

"Why are you messing with me?"

His elbows are on my shoulders. With sincere words and earnest wishes. Speak to me in the tone of an elder. I just feel like he's dozens of years older." Dawn. You're not too young. Isn't it time to think about the future?"

...... in the future

The heart aches violently.

There is no future of indifference. Is it possible to be happy.

Monday at five p.m. Wang Yuan's phone rang on time like an alarm clock. I thought I could skip overtime again. Who knew that Wen Yimo would even take me.

I excused myself and said, "Mr. Wen. You don't have to ...... on a date."

The unfinished words were interrupted by Wen Yimo." Yuanyuan wants to see you. She hasn't seen you in a while."

I can't say no.

I followed Wen Yimo to the western restaurant. Wang Yuan was already waiting in her seat.

When her gaze shifted from Wen Yimo to me. Pupil dilation. Obvious stunned. The smile froze. It doesn't look like it was about me at all.

"I've brought it to you." Wen Yimo's indifferent opening. Sit down beside Wang Yuan.

Forthwith. Wang Yuan smiled again. Said to me, "Uh. yes. Dawn. Long time no see. I miss you a lot. Let Yimo bring you over for a meal."

I smiled." If you want to see me in the future. Feel free to give me a call. Don't bother."

Wang Yuan didn't know about my entry into Hengtai at this time.

"Huh. Okay." Wang Yuan handed me a menu. Explained: "I and Emo's I have just ordered. Because I don't know what you like to eat right now. So it's not a point."

I took a general look. Say to the waiter, "I want a steak."

While in the United States for two years. But I'm still not used to eating Western food.

Dishes are served one after another. No one speaks. Each of them bows his head and eats. The atmosphere was unusually awkward.

"Hey. Dawn." Chi Feifei came over to say hello to me.

"Uh. Extraordinary."

Wang Yuan stood up and looked at me suspiciously. Dawn. This is ......"

Chi Feifei respectfully introduced himself. Hello Miss Wang. My name is Chi Feifei. Dawn's colleague."

"You know me." Wang Yuan asked in surprise.

Chi Feifei scratched his head a little embarrassed. Oh, yes. You're the general manager's fiancée. I've seen you a few times."

"Oh. I see." Wang Yuan pursed her lips and smiled. Glanced at me, intentionally or unintentionally." Chance encounters are fate. Why don't we sit down and dine together?"

Wang Yuan's table is generous and decent. Chi Feifei is not easy to refuse. So he sat down next to me.

"Total ...... General Manager." Chi Fei exclaimed in surprise. Be serious. Only now did I discover the existence of Wen Yimo.

"Hmm." Wen responded with an expressionless face.

Wang Yuan saw Chi Fei's nervousness. comforted: "Mr. Chi. You don't have to be too inhibited. Emo may be a bit harsher at work. But very easy-going in private."

Chi Feifei nodded. Still very nervous, he said, "Miss Wang. You're welcome. Just call me extraordinary."

"Oh. OK."

The four of them sat together in such an awkward way.

Chi Feifei shyly approached me and asked, "Dawn. Do you have time later. I'd like to invite you to watch a movie."

I haven't had time to answer yet. Wang Yuan agreed for me." Watch a movie. Okay."

Then he turned to me and said to me." Dawn. After eating, Yi Mo and I were about to go to the movies. Let's get the four of us together."

Wang Yuan is really overly enthusiastic......

"Okay." I'm too embarrassed to refuse. I can only agree.
