Chapter 178: Rekindling Old Love, Asking for Diamonds~
Su Nian's heart was beating very fast, clenching his fists, trying to make his smile appear natural, "I...... I was just changing. ”
Ye Shucheng's expression paused slightly, for a few seconds, and he smiled, "It's just me and you here, there's no need to hide it, I've seen it all anyway." ”
Her nervous palms were sweating, and she lowered her head in a panic and turned her face away, "That's not the same......"
He stared at her, his eyes were very heavy, and his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and for a few seconds, he exhaled lightly, "I'll cook." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, Su Nian's legs were weak, and his whole body was a little prostration, and he slowly leaned against the wall, and when he touched the corners of his forehead, he found that it was all cold sweat.
- Actually, I'm still afraid.
After washing, she calmed down a little before going out.
There was a little aroma of food, wafting from the kitchen, some sounds of the range hood, and the sound of the woks and iron pots hitting her ears, she stopped at the kitchen door, but did not go in.
It was already past twelve o'clock, and it seemed like an ordinary, incomparably comfortable spring afternoon, and she and he slept in bed for most of the morning, and then he cooked for her......
Her face was gloomy, and she stepped back and went to the balcony to smoke.
The astringency of nicotine soaked into her heart and lungs, but it did not relieve the anxiety in her heart, her heart seemed to be weightless, her eyes were astringent, she rubbed it vigorously, and took deep breaths over and over again.
Ye Shucheng cooked and went out, and saw her standing on the balcony with her back to him, looking outside.
He called her name.
She turned her head slowly, and the cigarette pulled a wisp of veil-like white smoke between her lips.
He walked over and casually removed the cigarette from her mouth, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You are very addicted to smoking now?" ”
She looked meaningless and pursed her lips, "It's the same as before." ”
"But you've been smoking more cigarettes lately than you used to," he said. ”
She sighed heavily, "You care about me? ”
He looked at her deeply, "I want to take care of it, can't I?" ”
She bit her lip for a while, and smiled, "Did you misunderstand something?" ”
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Adult men and women, take what you need," she said casually, "just because you've been in bed doesn't mean you can interfere more." ”
Ye Shucheng didn't speak, and his pupils constricted.
But she immediately raised her face again and smiled brightly at him, "I think with the past between me and you, it's better not to talk more, it's safer for you and me to be safer with each other, just like you said, meet occasionally, talk, and spend the night together if you like...... Don't make things so complicated, I don't like it. ”
His face was slightly pale.
I couldn't tell what it felt, she crushed every word from his heart, making him unable to breathe.
She looked at him again and quickly changed the subject, "Is the meal ready?" I'm going to check it out, I'm starving to death......"
As he spoke, the man was already heading towards the kitchen, and his pace was so rapid that it almost looked like he was on the run.
Ye Shucheng stood in place for a long time, the cigarette in his hand burned to the end, he extinguished the ashtray and went to the restaurant.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull, neither of them spoke, Ye Shucheng had no appetite, so he stopped eating after two mouthfuls hastily, and sat there quietly watching her eat.
She was looked at unnaturally," ...... Why don't you eat it? ”
"No appetite."
He touched the tissue and wiped his mouth.
"People with a bad stomach should pay more attention to their diet."
He tugged at the corners of his lips, "Do you care?" ”
She was stunned, "Huh? ”
"You don't care, it's okay if I destroy my body, whatever......" He smiled self-deprecatingly, but his eyes were still staring greedily into her eyes, "I just thought about it, if you will feel when I die." ”
She was still clutching her chopsticks, and her heart twitched hard.
Pursing her lips for a few seconds, she lowered her head, and she didn't answer him.
He smiled wryly and bowed his head, "That's it, it's my own fault, I don't blame you." ”
She clenched her chopsticks tightly, her lips moving, and she couldn't make a sound.
You can't trust him, believing in him is a very dangerous thing to do.
He suddenly changed the subject: "When will Mr. Yu come back next week?" ”
She was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Tell me to arrive on Thursday." ”
He counted the days with his hands.
Today, Friday, there are six days left.
"When he returns......" he paused, "will you and I still meet?" ”
She put down her chopsticks and lost interest in eating, "He doesn't like me to touch you." ”
He wasn't too surprised, leaned back and leaned back in his chair, "You listen to him?" ”
"He helped me in my most difficult times." She looked up at him with a serious expression.
What is the "most difficult time"......
- When he and Lu Rongan were engaged, when he threw her away.
It wasn't wise to dwell on those things in the past, and he was silent for a few seconds, "So now, we're ......"
He struggled to choose the words, and finally asked, "Cannon, friend?" ”
Her eyes drooped, "You say yes, yes." ”
He didn't speak for a long time, and finally got up, "You eat, I want to smoke." ”
After saying that, he left straight away and lit a cigarette in the living room.
Su Nian also lost any appetite, his eyes swept over the dining table, the meal of two people was only, he made four dishes and one soup, all of which she liked to make, but she didn't move a few chopsticks.
She felt that it was a waste, and he rarely cooked.
She forced her scalp and stuffed it into her mouth again, the taste was the same as chewing wax, and finally she couldn't even stuff it, tears rolled in her eyes, and she threw the chopsticks.
After cleaning up, he smoked in the living room, I don't know when, took out the laptop in the bedroom, typed the keyboard against the screen, and she slowly walked over to pack her things.
He turned his head to look, "You're leaving?" ”
She said "um", "I have to go to the company." ”
The atmosphere in this house was too oppressive, and she felt like she was going to suffocate if she stayed any longer.
He closed the computer, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and stood up, "I'll send you." ”
She was stunned.
Seeing that he was about to get his coat, she suddenly said, "No need. ”
He paused and looked back at her.
She pursed her lips, as if thinking about it, "I drove my car last night, I can drive back." ”
The words fell, picked up the bag, and was about to run for his life, he chased after a few steps and grabbed her hand.
When she turned around, she saw him frowning and looking at her, his expression very complicated.
His lips moved a few times before he spoke out with difficulty: "I won't ask." ”
"I won't ask, I won't rush you," he said in a dry voice, "and we'll just be as you say." ”
No matter if he steals happiness, if he can steal one more day, if he can steal one more second, he can't let go now.
The tip of her nose was astringent, her eyes were a little red, and she stared at him for a moment, "You know I can't like you anymore, right?" ”
His face turned pale and he nodded, "I know." ”
She added, "Don't like me, and don't say anything that misunderstands me like you used to, because you know that even if you say it, I won't believe it." ”
He clenched his fists, "I won't." ”
She nodded, took a deep breath, raised her hand to his heart, and pressed it gently, "That's what we're going to do." ”
He grinned at the corners of his lips and repeated her words, "That's what we're going to do." ”
She also smiled, and just took a step back to open the distance, when he dragged her over and hugged her in his arms.
He hugged her tightly, and then looked down for her lips.
He kissed her, a little anxious to entangle her tongue, as if some emotion could not find a vent, and flowed freely in the limited space.
Those unspoken words, unfinished words, are all blocked in my heart, like a mountain pressing down on the top but unable to escape.
He felt like he was going crazy.
……
Last night's rainstorm washed the whole city into a new look, under the bright sunshine, the green leaves in the green belt on the roadside in the spring were shining, and the depression in Su Nian's heart after leaving the hotel was a little dissipated.
Ye Shucheng sent her downstairs to Hengyi, and said as usual: "I'll pick you up at six o'clock." ”
She nodded, unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car, turned around and waved her hand, seeing the car walking away, she retracted her gaze and walked a few steps into the company, and looked up at Qiao Ye who looked surprised.
Qiao Ye was dumbfounded, and pointed to the direction where the car was leaving, "Sister Su, that ...... just now Is it Mr. Ye? ”
Su Nian looked around like a thief, took Qiao Ye's hand and dragged the person aside, and raised his fingers to silence, "Be careful, if someone else in the company hears it, I can't even wash it when I jump into the Yellow River." ”
Qiao Ye hadn't come back to his senses yet, "What's the situation?" How could you be with him again? He was ...... back then."
Qiao Ye originally wanted to say "the person who dumped you at the beginning", but the words came to his lips and circled, "He is the president of a competing company!" ”
Su Nian had already seen through Qiao Ye's thoughts, hesitated, and explained: "I have nothing to do with him, we are just ordinary friends, and our contact does not involve work." ”
She didn't want to say too much, Qiao Ye was more embarrassed, and before there was a clue about things, it would be superfluous to say anything.
Qiao Ye frowned, but he still couldn't help it, and blurted out, "Do you forgive him like that?" ”
She was stunned and smiled faintly, "There's no point in dwelling on the past. ”
"But he went too far then."
Qiao Ye complained and sighed, "Besides, Mr. Yu obviously doesn't want you to contact him......
paused, "Mr. Yu always said that you should find a partner, I think you should also find it, Mr. Ye's kind of man, he looks glamorous, but it's not good for you, what's the use?" Even if he cares about you a little bit in his heart, he won't do things so excessively in the first place! ”
Su Nian's heart tightened, and his expression was unnatural.
This was her past with Ye Shucheng, and no matter what she thought of herself, in the eyes of others, he abandoned her in the worst possible way, and this was the result between them.
And the funny thing is that she has been shaken for more than one moment before and after this night.
She said with a sneering face: "Forget it, don't talk about him, let's go upstairs." ”
The two of them entered the elevator, Qiao Ye hesitated a little, and asked her cautiously, "Don't you still plan to be with Mr. Ye?" ”
Su Nian clenched his fists and shook his head, "Of course not." ”
Qiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Then Sister Su, are you ...... You're on Hengyi's side, right? ”
Su Nian was stunned for a moment, and then his face was a little ugly, "Of course I am on Hengyi's side, I am an employee of Hengyi, and Yu is always my father, Qiao Ye, why would you ask such a stupid question." ”
Qiao Ye's head shrank, "I'm just worried......"
"What's there to worry about?"
Su Nian felt some anger in his heart.
Meng Yiping questioned her, and now even Qiao Ye began to question her.
Qiao Ye didn't dare to look at her, "If a woman meets the man who makes her follow, she will lose her mind, I think you are unwilling to fight him now, but in the end, you are likely to lose yourself again...... Meng Yiping said that you didn't want to recognize Mr. Yu as a father at first, so ......"
Su Nian was extremely aggrieved, Meng Yiping looked like a serious guy on weekdays, who would have thought to say anything to Qiao Ye, the elevator door opened, and she glanced at Qiao Ye for the last time, "I know my position, I won't be the kind of stupid woman who is carried away by feelings." ”
After saying that, he walked out.
I was angry in my heart, and my steps were windy, so I threw the door in the office and sat on the chair in a daze.
Dysphoria.
At first, it was because I was uncertain and didn't know what to do, but after I made the decision, this irritability not only did not go away, but became more and more serious.
He hesitated again and again, retreated, stopped and wavered.
It's a terrible feeling.
Thinking back to her life, there are not many times when she is so confused, most of the time she can make judgments and decisions, no matter if he is wrong or right, at least her direction is clear and will not stop in place.
But she's just standing still.
There was a moment in the hotel, she thought forget it, so be it, don't take any database, just cut him off, and return him to a quiet place.
Why did you change your mind just by listening to two words from him?
She found that where she had the initiative, to this day, she would still be swayed by his words.
There was a knock on the door, and she let out a deep sigh, "Come in." ”
Meng Yiping pushed the door in, took a document in his hand, came to her, and put it in her eyes, "I can't find you in the morning, this is the big terminal customer information database updated this week." ”
She opened it with her hand, "How complete is it?" ”
"According to the current planned terminal, the completion degree is about 30%."
Meng Yiping pulled out the chair opposite and sat down, looking at her, "I heard that Mr. Ye sent you to work just now." ”
Su Nian was stunned for a moment, and soon thought that Qiao Ye must have said it.
Qiao Ye's character can't expect to keep any secrets, she said depressedly: "So what? ”
Meng Yiping reminded: "Yu will always come back next Thursday, and even if I want to help you hide it, I can't hide it." ”
"I know-" Su Nian's tail voice dragged out, a little emotional, and she was very annoyed that Meng Yiping was urging her to put pressure on her, "I will find a way to try to ...... before my dad comes back."
After a pause, "But you can't bet all on me, after all, I have limited contact with Ye Shucheng, and I am now the business director of Hengyi,., I saw the computer in his room today, but there is a password, I may not have the opportunity to get the database." ”
Meng Yiping's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "If you hadn't told me that you were helping Heng Yi get something, I would have thought that you and him had rekindled their old relationship." ”
She looked up at him and said with great certainty: "That kind of thing won't happen, you think too much." ”
"Really?" Meng Yiping smiled, "I hope." ”
Most of Meng Yiping's smiles were skin smiles, and Su Nian suddenly realized that after knowing Meng Yiping for so long, it seemed that he had never seen this robot-like person with that kind of heartfelt smile.
It's tiring to talk to people like that.
The speed of Hengyi's large terminal customer information database is very slow, and the more she looks at it, the less confident she becomes.
Seeing that Yu Kun was about to come back, she was very impatient, and in the afternoon she heard that a salesman had made an appointment for dinner in the evening and a target that could not be negotiated for a few days to talk about the signing, she simply followed.
The dinner was at a famous seafood restaurant in the city, and it was already six o'clock when she arrived, and she was full of signs in her mind, completely forgetting that Ye Shucheng was going to pick her up.
This box is connected to KTV, the person in charge of the small terminal is a Maiba, and several songs come and go are roaring, either "Leaving Song" or "Love When You Die", Su Nian's eardrums are buzzing, and his mobile phone rings a few times in the bag without realizing it.
The person in charge of the small terminal sang happily and was tired of yelling, so he came over to eat and drink.
Su Nian pretended to applaud people for a long time, and then followed the salesman to play the edge ball to the signing.
As a result, before he could say a few words, the man said, "Oh, sign the contract, no problem, did you bring the agreement?" ”
Su Nian and the salesman who came with him were stunned.
The person in charge laughed, "What kind of expression do you think I'm hard to deal with?" ”
Su Nian hurriedly shook his head.
The other party continued, "Actually, I was indeed a little hesitant, I wanted to observe it again, you also know, before I and Media Asia originally did exclusivity, Media Asia's exclusive withdrawal, it was really too sudden, not kind, I originally wanted to grind it again, after all, the concession point of the previous exclusive agreement over there is still quite large, and the product is almost the same, but today Mr. Ye called me in the afternoon and said something, I think it makes sense." ”
Su Nian was stunned.
Next to him, the salesman was still curiously asking: "What do you say?" ”
In this case, it is recommended that I might as well broaden the way for myself, and I can sign a few more companies if I am not exclusive, but I am also kind enough to mention a few more in Jincheng, except for Media Asia, that is, you are Hengyi, so I thought, anyway, this agreement is five years, and it is also non-exclusive, so I will sign it, and I will not be entangled in the exclusive concession of Media Asia. Looking at Mr. Ye's appearance, he couldn't get entangled. ”
Su Nian's smile stiffened, while the salesman smiled, "What Mr. Ye said is indeed reasonable, after all, what every company has to consider is long-term development." ”
The person in charge smiled, "Yes, in fact, I didn't expect that you and Media Asia should be regarded as mortal enemies, but Mr. Ye actually recommended it, which shows that Mr. Ye is actually quite open-minded and far-sighted, and he wants the financial market of Jincheng to develop well." ”
The corners of Su Nian's eyes twitched, and he thought, where is open-mindedness.
But soon, his expression darkened again.
The next signing came naturally, and several people raised their glasses to celebrate, calling for happy cooperation, but Su Nian was absent-minded.
That feeling of irritability is intensifying.
She just casually complained to Ye Shucheng about her work yesterday......
What is this?
She had already made it clear that she wanted him not to have hope for her, and he was still doing such superfluous things to disturb her mind.
It's really nosy.
But looking back, it seems that these are all his usual methods, and they are always so unclear that they confuse her.
Su Nian was in a bad mood and drank a few more glasses of wine.
I wasn't drunk, the signing was very smooth, I didn't need to fight for wine, after the salesman sent the customer away, she was alone in the box, sleepy leaning on the chair, with a stunned expression.
The brain is numb, it doesn't turn, inside the bag, the mobile phone rings again.
She moved slowly, touched it, and saw that it was Ye Shucheng, and then remembered that she forgot to tell him that she had a party at night.
picked it up, and heard him say in a somewhat anxious tone on the other end: "Where are you?" ”
She took a deep breath, "What about eating." ”
There was a pause for a few seconds, "Social?" ”
"Well," she replied, rubbing her brow, "I forgot to tell you, you can drive the car to your side." ”
He asked, "Have you drunk?" ”
"A little."
"I'll pick you up."
"......" she struggled to catch her breath, "I don't want to ...... tonight"
The other side seemed to be stunned for a few seconds, "Su Nian, I just want to pick you up, I can send you back." ”
She sighed, "Okay. ”
Then she reported his address and hung up the phone, only to see that the dozen or so missed answers on her mobile phone were all from him.
There were also messages, all asking her where she was, if something was wrong, and why she didn't call back......
She closed her eyes and tried to calm her heart, it was useless, she couldn't calm down.
In the end, I gave up, went out to pay the bill, and stood at the door of the hotel and waited.
The cars in front of her were coming and going, the lights were bright and green, her eyes were empty, and the spring wind carried a little catkins in it, which also annoyed people, she grabbed a ball, spread it out in her hand, and was taken away by the wind.
Yu Kun came back soon, she only had these last few days left, and she didn't have time to hesitate.
The only way to get access to Ye Shucheng's work files was the laptop he had in the hotel suite, and it was very difficult to get the password, unless he left after Ye Shucheng turned it on.
Such an opportunity was rare, and she had to spend more time with him.
But she didn't want to.
It's really ...... to be with him
She remembered something, slapped her head, and hurried to find a pharmacy near the hotel.
72 hours of after-the-fact medicine is really a great invention, giving her a reassuring pill that her brain is chaotic all day, she bought water at the convenience store, only to turn back to the door of the hotel, swallowed the medicine with mineral water, and the car has driven over and stopped in front of her.
The car window was lowered, and Ye Shucheng frowned at her, "What kind of medicine to take?" ”
She didn't think it was anything to say, "You didn't do anything last night, of course I have to find a way." ”
When the words came out, I realized that something was wrong.
Children are a no-go topic, and even contraception seems to have become a taboo topic.
Ye Shucheng unconsciously clenched the steering wheel, and many messy pictures were in his mind.
- It was she who pointed to the bucket and said it was his child.
His face was gloomy, he lowered his head, for a few seconds, did not look at her, and said lightly: "Get in the car." ”
Because her head was a little dizzy, she was lying in the back seat of the car, and he started the car to leave, asking, "Uncomfortable?" ”
She rubbed her temples, "It's okay, it's just ......"
She sighed, "I'm old, and I can't drink as well as I used to." ”
He chuckled, and after a few seconds, he suddenly said, "The medicine is not good for the body, don't take it in the future." ”
She was stunned.
He added, "I'll pay attention next time." ”
She didn't respond.
"Speaking of getting old...... he slowed down in front of the red light, grabbed the steering wheel, and asked: "You have been following Mr. Yu for four years, but you haven't been able to get through the results, and you plan to follow him all the time in the future?" ”
