After shopping with Koyanagi, it was already past eight o'clock when I got home.

Qu Ruoning came out of the shower, draped her hair, held a cup of hot water, and sat curled up on the sofa to read a book.

The design industry is changing from time to time, and she has been absent for so many years, and now she naturally has to put in more effort than others to catch up with it.

At a glance, he saw that it was more than ten o'clock, Qu Ruoning tilted his stiff neck, and remembered to call Qu Qingying.

It was picked up as soon as it was dialed, and Qu Qingying's crisp voice sounded from the other end.

"At home?" Qu Ruoning heard the background sound, which seemed to be the sound of TV.

"Hmm." Qu Qingying turned off the TV, walked to her bedroom, and said worriedly: "Sister, did your brother-in-law say anything?" ”

"Say what?" Qu Ruo was puzzled.

"It's okay, I'm afraid I bothered him yesterday." Qu Qingying should not know the real situation last night when she heard what she said.

"Just know to bother." Qu Ruoning walked to the balcony to blow the wind and said to her: "If there is anything in the future, don't look for him if you look for me." ”

"What's the relationship between being a family?" Qu Qingying didn't care.

Qu Ruoning didn't know how to explain to her, so she said, "Just listen to me." ”

"Okay." Qu Qingying listened to Ruoning's tone and hardened, so she responded with kindness.

The two sisters gossiped for a while, and Qu Qingying said: "Sister, this Saturday is Mom's birthday, Dad means to book a table at Jinding, and the family will have a meal, I told my brother-in-law in the morning, and my brother-in-law said that he would order." ”

Qu Ruoning frowned, Ren Shaochen didn't tell her in the morning.

"This is what I said before, but it doesn't mean that I don't listen to you." Qu Qingying confessed first.

"I see." Qu Ruoning replied in a low voice, chatted with Qu Qingying for a few more words, and hung up the phone.

Qu Ruoning held her mobile phone, stood outside in a daze for a moment, and decided to call Ren Shaochen.

"Hello?" Ren Shaochen was busy typing on the papers, not looking at the caller ID, and clipped the phone to his ear and shoulder.

"Are you still working?" Qu Ruoning heard the sound of hitting the keyboard, and asked casually.

Ren Shaochen heard Qu Ruoning's voice, his hand paused, took off the phone, and said, "Hmm." ”

"Then you get busy first, I don't have anything to do." Qu Ruoning wanted to hang up the phone after finishing speaking.

"I'm not busy, you can say it." Ren Shaochen remembered that such conversations seemed to have often before, and every time Qu Ruoning would be considerate and hung first, and he never kept it.

"Well, it's what Qingying told you in the morning, I'm sorry she bothered you again, I'll book the hotel." Qu Ruoning always felt that it was uncomfortable to be divorced and trouble Ren Shaochen like this.

"It's okay, I've already made an appointment." Ren Shaochen stood up, walked to the window, opened the blinds with his fingers, and looked at the flashing neon lights and vehicles downstairs.

"The xiexie." Qu Ruoning turned around and entered the house, and hesitated: "Regarding my parents, I will find an appropriate opportunity to explain, on Saturday, I will say that you are on a business trip, is it okay?" ”

"Hmm." Ren Shaochen heard that Qu Ruoning had even made an excuse, so naturally it was not good to bite the bullet and say that he was going.

"By the way, the key to your house was left with me last time." Qu Ruoning mentioned this matter by the way.

Ren Shaochen knew what she was talking about, the last time she left Qu Ruoning's side, she found that her key had fallen on her when she got home, she was originally looking for her under the pretext of not having a key, but now this lie has obviously been exposed.

"I'll pick it up again when I have time." Ren Shaochen's face was free, he just wanted to see her that day, and he was not afraid that his little thoughts would be punctured.

"Well, that's good." After Qu Ruoning finished speaking, he paused and said in a low voice: "Zaijian." ”

“zaijian。”

After hanging up the phone, Ren Shaochen turned around and continued to work.

These days, he seems to have gradually understood, he has a possessive desire for Qu Ruoning, she didn't feel it when she was around her, but when she lost it, that feeling became prominent.

But whether this feeling is a habit or aiqing, he hasn't figured out yet. The beginning of Qu Ruoning was both bad and chaotic, he did not deny that the responsibility was greater than the affection when he married her, and over the years, he was also used to her existence.

Now there is an indescribable emotion for her.,If it's aiqing.,It seems to be a little less persistent and budding.,To say that there's only responsibility.,It's not entire.。

Although he is divorced, he feels that he is still inextricably linked with her in this life, and he can no longer be involved.

In the next few days, Qu Ruoning was still busy going to work, even busier than before, and it was more than ten o'clock every day after work. Originally, I bought a gift for Qu's mother, but I haven't been able to spare it.

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday, Qu Ruoning looked up and saw that it was dark, and the alarm clock had reached eleven o'clock.

The office was quiet, only she and Gu Chendong were left working overtime, and they were busy with the restaurant case for the past few days, and several designs were rejected by the customer.

Sometimes she comforts herself and thinks that she only works overtime until ten o'clock, while Gu Chendong often stays all night, so compared to this, she is psychologically balanced and honestly follows overtime.

"You go back first." Gu Chendong raised his eyes and looked at Ruo Ning, who was twisting his neck.

"I'm almost done, I'll make you a cup of coffee." Qu Ruoning got up and took Gu Chendong's cup.

Gu Chendong lowered his head and drew and did not speak again. He is an extremely focused and conscientious person, who never says much at work, and even ignores the people and things around him.

Qu Ruoning brewed coffee and put it in his hand, the mobile phone in her pocket rang, she immediately covered it, turned around and went out of the office to pick it up.

"Did you sleep?" Ren Shaochen's voice was low and magnetic, coming from the other end of the phone.

"Still working overtime." Qu Ruoning looked back at Gu Chendong, who was working with his head down, and lowered his voice.

"Still working overtime at such a late hour?" Ren Shaochen frowned.

"Is this time too late for you? I remember you always got off work at 12 o'clock. Qu Ruoning curled her lips and joked, and after speaking, she felt that her words were like complaints, so she added: "Do the work you like, and time will pass unconsciously." ”

Ren Shaochen didn't continue to discuss the topic of work, and said, "Is it almost over?" I'll pick you up. ”

Before Qu Ruoning could refuse in a hurry, Ren Shaochen said again: "The key is still with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qu Ruoning couldn't refuse, so she answered and hung up the phone.

At this time, Gu Chendong got the design drawing, took the suit jacket, and said to Qu Ruoning: "You can go." ”

Qu Ruoning followed him out of the company, and Gu Chendong knew that her car was sent for maintenance, so he offered to send her home.

"I'm going to wait for someone, Mr. Gu, you can go first." Qu Ruoning directly refused.

"Then I'll wait with you for a while, I heard from the security guard in the morning that there has been a homeless man with exposed birds around recently, and it's not very safe." Gu Chendong stood with her at the main entrance of the building.

When Ren Shaochen's car arrived, what he saw was such a scene, Qu Ruoning and Gu Chendong were standing side by side, chatting happily, and Qu Ruoning's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
