Chapter 074: I followed you, not to fall in love
As soon as Xu Jinghe arrived at Yishui Yunju, she first looked at the house inside and out, and when she returned to the living room after reading, Ye Shucheng was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, and she leaned over excitedly, "The house is very beautiful." ”
Ye Shucheng nodded, "It's good if you like it." ”
After a pause, he remembered something, "I also bought the flower seeds, and they will be delivered in two days." ”
Xu Jinghe squinted and smiled, sat next to him and wrapped his arms around him, "You're so nice." ”
Ye Shucheng glanced at his tightly held arm and smiled, "You are like this, I can't smoke." ”
Xu Jinghe pouted, feeling that he was a little puzzled, but she still let go first, and listened to Ye Shucheng say again: "The maid and housekeeper are all there, call me if there is anything." ”
Xu Jinghe was stunned for a moment, wondering if this meant something wrong, "Don't you live here?" ”
This question is very delicate, and Xu Jinghe suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he asked it.
Ye Shucheng glanced at her lightly, "Jinghe, I want to take my time." ”
Her face was a little feverish, "I didn't mean that...... There are so many houses here, you can stay in other rooms. Otherwise, where are you going to stay? ”
He didn't like Xu Jinghe's tone very much, and frowned slightly, "I have a place to live." ”
Seeing that his face was slightly gloomy, she didn't ask again, but she was very disappointed in her heart.
From the airport to now, she feels that she is hot and happy, she does not see any joy of reunion on his face, she knows that he has always been cold, but after all, their relationship is not the same as before, he is still so cold, he has not seen him for so long, she actually misses him very much, wants to get closer to him, but she obviously senses that he does not like her touch.
Probably feeling the stagnation of the atmosphere, Ye Shucheng softened his voice, "You like to eat French food, here I have a chef who is good at French food, you can say whatever you want to eat......"
She asked anxiously, "Then are you eating here?" ”
He was stunned for a moment and smiled faintly: "Of course." ”
This is a reception banquet, if you don't eat, you can't say it, after Xu Jinghe went to the restaurant, he thought about it, and took out his mobile phone to call Su Nian.
Counting the time, she's about to get off work.
It took a long time for the colored bell to be connected, and he heard Su Nian's voice, which was a little muffled, lower than before.
Mr. Ye, is there something wrong? ”
Hmm," he said, glancing in the direction of the restaurant, "I'm not going back to eat tonight." ”
There was silence for a few seconds before saying "oh".
He could tell that she was not in a high mood, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Nian was hiding in the phone to wash her hands, and when she heard this from there, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
He didn't tell her anything, why?
But soon she thought again, she was a lover, and her lover didn't have so much right to know, so he didn't need to report to her, just like he went to the United States to find Jinghe quietly, no matter who he picked up at the airport this afternoon, who he was with, there was no need to let her know.
Seeing that Su Nian didn't answer, Ye Shucheng's tone softened: "I'll go back later, don't work overtime, go home early, and don't sit in front of the computer for too long." ”
She let out a sneering "um".
After hanging up the phone, Su Nian was stunned in the cubicle for a while.
What is this......
She wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask, she hoped that he could take the initiative to say it, he had always been very frank with her about Jing He, he never mentioned it, was the person he wanted to pick up was not Jing He at all?
She rubbed her hair irritably, turned back to the office, He Zeng saw that she was not in a state for a day, and was a little dissatisfied: "Don't bring your emotions to work, if you don't want to do it, ask for leave to go home, see you like this eyesore." ”
She glared at He Zeng with resentment, and just turned her head, He Zeng skimmed over again.
If you don't do this rendering well, you have to continue to do it next week, and the whole progress will be slowed down by you. ”
Su Nian didn't even dare to wander, staring at the picture, and his heart slowly calmed down.
He Zeng scolded her very well, it has always been.
As soon as she put in it, she would forget the time, and when she looked up, it was dark outside, and most of the people in the office had already left, and He Zeng was lazily leaning back in the chair. I'm flipping through a cAD atlas in my hand.
Su Nian stood up and stretched, rubbing his sore neck, "Master He, why didn't you leave?" ”
He Zeng closed the album in his hand, "Wait for you, let's eat together." ”
Su Nian was a little stunned.
He Zeng asked her to dinner, she was very surprised, and He Zeng said it so domineeringly, it was just a declarative sentence, and there was no room for her to refuse.
She hesitated for a moment, so she turned off the computer and cleaned up her things slowly, she was thinking about Ye Shucheng.
Ye Shucheng didn't like her to have too much contact with He Zeng, in Ye Shucheng's eyes, she was now his property, so he had to keep his distance from other men.
She was a little irritable when she thought of Ye Shucheng, his desire for exclusivity for her was not due to any affection, but simply regarded her as a private property, and she no longer hesitated when she thought of it.
Anyway, Ye Shucheng will go back later tonight, what is she afraid of, just have a meal, and how can he ask her to eat, how difficult it is.
She swept away the haze and followed He Zeng.
When He Zeng took her to sit by the window of a KFC downstairs in the company, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Master He, you are too emotional." ”
He could hear her sarcasm and tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Could it be that you still expect me to take you to a candlelight dinner?" ”
She said: "Then you don't need to order two family buckets, when I was serving the dinner plate just now, the person next to me looked at me like a pig." ”
He Zeng pouted, "If you can't finish eating, take it away, and continue to eat the next meal." ”
Su Nian couldn't even continue complaining, and buried himself in dealing with the chicken legs.
A few days ago, Ye Shucheng agreed that she didn't have to avoid eating anymore, but she still couldn't eat heavy things, Ye Shucheng was too strict, and she didn't let her eat junk food at all, so she felt quite fragrant when she took a bite at this time, so she didn't care so much.
He Zeng asked while eating: "Have you ever been divorced?" ”
Su Nian was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he asked about this at this time, but he still nodded.
You look pretty small, not like it. ”
Su Nian was a little proud, "Yes, I'm young." ”
Well, a dumbfounded. ”
Su Nian smiled: "You are just jealous of my beauty." ”
He Zeng frowned in disgust, "Narcissistic." ”
Su Nian smirked, He Zeng frowned, thought about it, put down the coffee in his hand, and said, "What is the relationship between you and Mr. Ye?" ”
Although Ye Shucheng used to be very close to Su Nian in front of him, at the birthday banquet, Ye Shucheng made it clear that his relationship with Su Nian was a friend.
There is only one possibility that can be guessed in this situation. Su Nian's silence basically confirmed this speculation, but he still asked, "Lover?" ”
Su Nian was still biting the chicken leg, and his expression was a little stiff.
No matter how many times she does psychological construction, it is useless, and when others tell her and Ye Shucheng so bluntly, her heart still hurts.
Her self-esteem and shame were also tormented.
She bit the chicken leg and looked at He Zeng for a few seconds, then lowered her head and ate quietly, as if she had never heard He Zeng's embarrassing question.
I used to think that you were stupid and stupid, and your brain was still normal, but now I think you are also sick in the brain, and it is not light," He Zeng sighed, "Let's not talk about how embarrassing your relationship is." Have you ever thought about what to do in the future, since he doesn't admit that you are not going to be responsible, you have already experienced a bad marriage, and now you are running into this relationship to toss yourself? ”
She was a little surprised that He Zeng would preach to her.
Even He Zeng, such an elm head, couldn't stand what she was doing.
The rice couldn't be eaten properly, she put down the chicken legs, thought about it, and wiped her mouth, "Master He, you don't know my situation, I will follow Mr. Ye, and I also have a hard time." ”
What's the pain? ”
In fact, He Zeng was rarely interested in other people's affairs, so he had few friends. Su Nian approached him a little strongly, although she tried her best to tie him up just for the sake of studying, but she was quite pleasing to the eye, and that day I heard that she was divorced, so I wanted to ask her these questions.
A girl who is stupid, and people like Ye Shucheng are afraid that there will be no bones left to be eaten at that time.
Su Nian didn't plan to hide it from He Zeng, she thought He Zeng was a friend, so she confessed: "My ex-husband's family was very tough, not only did he not agree to the divorce at that time, but he also abused me domestically, but Mr. Ye saved me, if it wasn't for Mr. Ye, I wouldn't have been able to get out of that family at all." ”
He Zeng was stunned for a moment.
Looking at Su Nian's heartless and stupid appearance on weekdays, he couldn't imagine that she had experienced these things.
After a long time, he spoke again: "But you're divorced now, aren't you?" ”
The implication is that some have chosen.
How could Su Nian not understand, she smiled, "Soon, Mr. Ye has a girlfriend and will come back from abroad soon, and we have already said that we will separate when the time comes." ”
He Zeng almost squirted out of the coffee in his mouth just after drinking it, "You know he has a girlfriend and you still follow him?" ”
Su Nian shrunk his shoulders, realized that he had done something wrong, and his voice was quieter: "Anyway, we will break up soon." ”
When she spoke, there was a faint frustration in her eyes. He Zeng thought about it, and he was going to divide it anyway, saying that she was not interesting.
He was already nosy in her business, and he had to stop in moderation, so he stopped the topic at the right time, "Let's eat." ”
He Zeng's words were light, she still had a little appetite, and after talking to him, she didn't have much heart to eat, chatting about Ye Shucheng before the meal was just unappetizing, she hastily gnawed two chicken legs and couldn't eat them anymore, and finally there was a lot of stuff left, He Zeng really packed it, and said very considerately that he could share some with her.
Su Nian was afraid that he would be hungry at night, so he took a few chicken wings and returned to Rongcheng.
Ye Shucheng returned to Rongcheng and went upstairs into Su Nian's room, where he saw her shrinking in a chair and nibbling chicken wings on the computer.
The air was filled with the smell of fried chicken wings, and he frowned.
How to eat this kind of thing. ”
Su Nian looked back and saw him and was stunned for a moment.
She was in a very indecent posture now, still wearing a skirt, her whole body was shrunk, and she was still holding chicken wings in her mouth, and she paused for a few seconds.
was unhappy, and he didn't say if Jinghe was back, she couldn't care about him. But she even had to be criticized by him for eating chicken wings.
She took off the chicken wings and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Mr. Ye, you're back." ”
He walked over, raised his hand to loosen his tie, caught a glimpse of the chicken wings she was still holding in her oily hand, and said, "Throw it away." ”
He doesn't like this kind of Western-style fast food, and now the room seems to smell like it.
She held the chicken wings and didn't move.
Ye Shucheng stood at the window, looked at the stubborn expression on her face, and was silent for two seconds before saying, "Your injury is not completely healed, eat lightly, and let the cook make porridge for you." ”
She said, "It's ten o'clock, and the cook is gone." ”
Tell him to work overtime. ”
She didn't move, she thought, Ye Shucheng is like this, he is happy and doesn't ask others if he is happy or not, even if it is a transaction, he will always be in a superior position, strong and domineering.
Seeing that Su Nian didn't move, he approached, his hand lifted her chin, and she awkwardly dodged, "People's cooks are also people, and they also need to rest, do you want people to be on call twenty-four hours a day?" ”
There is also overtime pay for overtime, he knows it himself. ”
She bit her lip, "It's not about money, do you think you can solve anything with money?" ”
Ye Shucheng was stunned.
Her attitude was too unusual.
What happened to you? ”
It was okay that he didn't ask, but as soon as he asked, all her emotions poured out like a spring, and she suddenly realized that it was ridiculous, and it was obviously a trading relationship between them, and now there was still suspicion.
She didn't want to go around the bend anymore, so she put down the chicken leg and wiped her hands with a tissue, "When will Jinghe come back?" ”
Ye Shucheng was untying his tie, and his hand stopped when he heard this.
Her tone was cold, as if questioning.
He didn't like her aggressive attitude and looked at her, "What have you heard?" ”
She's back, isn't she? ”
He didn't speak.
You're going to pick her up this afternoon, aren't you? ”
He pulled off his tie. Throwing it on the bed, he went back to the window and lit a cigarette, without saying a word.
She couldn't help it a little, "You pushed off all the itinerary and drove to pick her up alone, did you eat with her for dinner?" ”
He had been silent, and such an aggressive attitude had upset him.
How to tell her, once it is clear that Xu Jinghe is back, what he will do to keep her, he is not sure, but what should come will always come, he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Su Nian sneered: "Then why did you come back tonight?" ”
Her emotions were a little out of control, and her silent attitude made her unacceptable.
He took the cigarette down. Looking back at her, "You wish I hadn't come back tonight?" ”
The tissue she used to wipe her hands had been torn, her fingers were also worn red, she just lowered her head and continued to wipe it, and the grievances and anger in her heart were surging.
Su Nian, what are you angry about, you are so excited, you like me? ”
He asked slowly.
Her tears were rolling in her eyes, and she finally endured it, she realized her gaffe, but she couldn't control it, she kept telling herself that Ye Shucheng was interested in her non-clinginess, so she must ensure that she can behave very obediently until the end of this relationship, and will not be unhappy with him because of these things, but she still can't hold back.
She took a deep breath and didn't look up, "Mr. Ye, you said that you didn't want me to fall in love, and in the same way, I didn't follow you to fall in love, why do we ask this kind of question between us, whether you like it or not?" It doesn't make sense, it's a deal. ”
She used his words to refute him, it was so perfect that she followed him. Not for the sake of falling in love.
After Su Nian's words were finished, he smoked quietly, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her head.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, she thought about it, as if there was no need to ask if it was Jinghe who came back today, his attitude was very revealing.
Jing He is back, it's time to break up, she thought she was ready for a long time, but at this moment, her heart was still clenching and aching, the air pressure in the room was so low that she was almost suffocated, Ye Shucheng didn't speak, and she didn't leave. Every second of her felt like torment.
After a long time, she raised her head, the cigarette between Ye Shucheng's fingers had burned to the end, and she mustered up the courage to speak: "Since Jinghe is back, then I ......"
I once said," Ye Shucheng interrupted her, walked to the table and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, "Jinghe is back, you can go." ”
She clenched her fists and waited quietly for the next sentence.
He continued: "I'm telling you now, I've changed my mind. ”
She was stunned for a long time, "...... What do you mean? ”
You can't go, you're going to stay here. Stay with me. ”
The words were shameless, but his attitude was natural, his back against the wall, staring at her for a moment.
Her lips quivered, "Why." ”
I can let you stay in the design department, and I can let you leave, as far as I know, with your current three-legged cat effort, even if I don't call other design companies in Jincheng, no one will want you. ”
Ye Shucheng said very ruthlessly, although Su Nian put a lot of effort, her progress in design was very slow, this was a piece of her heart, and he picked her the most painful place. A word is not only a threat, but also belittles her and negates all her efforts.
You...... You've said you'll give me what I want. ”
What I'm saying is, if you are obedient, you will have what you want. ”
She felt that her brain was emptied, and it was white, did he say that? She couldn't remember, she just instinctively looked for any point on which to refute him, "You said you would support me in doing whatever I wanted." ”
He nodded, "Provided that you are obedient." ”
She opened her mouth, but didn't make a sound.
Those promises full of loopholes, she actually believed them, and she was even moved.
She used to be grateful to him, but now she felt that he was shameless.
He took her three inches, and now she has nothing left but this career, she has spent so much energy, how can she give up.
She clenched her fists, "That...... What about Jing He? I don't believe she doesn't care. ”
She wouldn't know you existed, and even if she did, I had my solution. ”
You're disgusting. ”
When Ye Shucheng heard this, the corners of his lips swept over an imperceptible wry smile, "It's good that you're happy to scold." ”
Anyway, she can't change anything, she can only speak as fast as she wants.
Since she didn't like him, he didn't feel the need to be too timid for fear of hurting her, his purpose was very simple. Possess her, imprison her, and make her belong to him alone.
Even if she hated him, what did it matter.
Su Nian was so angry that he couldn't speak anymore, don't turn his face, tears were about to pour out uncontrollably.
It wasn't that he didn't see the tears in her eyes, his heart was a little stuffy, and he turned to leave.
This night, he went back to his room to rest, and his mind was full of Su Nian's tearful eyes.
……
The next day, Su Nian got up very early, Ye Shucheng had already left earlier than her, and she went to the company with two huge black circles under her eyes.
She didn't know why Ye Shucheng suddenly repented, and her attitude was still very resolute.
How long can she stay, she is afraid that she will collapse.
It was an expedient measure to be Ye Shucheng's lover in the first place. In order to get rid of the Shen family, the Shen family is a fire pit, and if she continues to stay, she will be killed sooner or later, but now, can she really forget her shame and morality for her own career, and continue to be a lover to Ye Shucheng without shame?
Hard.
But if she wants to give up her design career, it is even more difficult, she has nothing, she has nothing left, she uses this career as a life-saving straw, the only one she can hold tightly in her arms, as long as she works hard, she can always see the direction of the results, if it is gone, she will become a walking corpse, how to live?
She couldn't think of an answer.
She even thought in a trance, it's ridiculous, what was there in Ye Shucheng that once attracted her, she didn't look like herself for him, he gave her the opportunity to leave, she didn't want it herself, and at that time she even felt that it was good to be able to stay by his side.
Seeing Su Nian's absent-minded appearance, He Zeng counted her down again, and she continued to draw with her spirit.
It's cheap, He Zeng scolded her and couldn't help but switch to professional mode.
At lunchtime, He Zeng went downstairs with her and said in the elevator: "Your dark circles are bigger than the bags under your eyes." ”
She glared at He Zeng.
Seeing that her mood was wrong, He Zeng asked, "What's wrong?" ”
She only swore to He Zeng last night. When Ye Shucheng's girlfriend came back, she would no longer be a lover, and now Ye Shucheng turned back, how could she tell He Zeng?
Noon is the peak period for going downstairs, as soon as the elevator stops, it is full of people pouring out, Su Nian is at the door, the speed of walking out is slower, and he is hit by the people behind him all of a sudden, and he almost pounces on the ground to gnaw on the mud, He Zeng quickly put a hand from the side behind, his hand can hold her waist, and the people behind him are still walking forward, he protects her with the other hand and takes the person to the side a little to avoid the flow of people.
The pose is subtle. Her whole body was circled by his hand, especially at the waist, his hand was separated by a thin layer of clothing, and the touch under his hand was a little unfamiliar, and he lost his mind for a moment.
After this wave of people dispersed, Ye Shucheng and Rita came over from the other side, Su Nian didn't sleep well last night, and her reaction was still very slow, and she looked up at Ye Shucheng's eyes, deep and indifferent, and she was chilling.
His gaze went down from her face to He Zeng's hand around her waist.
Rita's face changed.
He Zeng realized that something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hand.
Su Nian lowered his head. "Mr. Ye, Rita."
He Zeng also pulled out a smile, which was counted as a greeting.
Ye Shucheng exuded coldness all over his body, and passed by Su Nian without saying a word.
Rita felt a little embarrassed, smiled at Su Nian and He Zeng, and lowered her voice, "Mr. Ye is in a bad mood today, don't worry too much." ”
Su Niancai didn't care, he ruined her mood, why did she care about him?
In front of her were Rita and He Zeng, and she was not an outsider, so she pulled the corners of her mouth: "The president is good, if you are not happy, you can put on a face for us people." ”
It was all pantothenic acid when she heard it, but because she understood the relationship between Su Nian and Ye Shucheng, she smiled, and just about to say something, the phone rang, and she answered the phone with an apologetic smile.
Su Nian and He Zeng were about to leave with great eyes, and the voice of Rita answering the phone behind them was still coming.
Yes, it will be sent to Yishui Yunju Building 8, and the signatory is Miss Xu Jinghe......"
Su Nian's footsteps stopped.
He Zeng walked a few steps and turned back, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Su Nian stopped for a few seconds, turned back and waited for Rita to finish calling, and asked Rita, "...... Xu Jinghe you just said?"
Rita's face changed slightly.
She knows the relationship between Ye Shucheng and Su Nian, and the lover who can't see the light of day, and now a Xu Jinghe suddenly appears, she actually knows it, but Ye Shucheng bought a house for Xu Jinghe, and she also spent a lot of effort to ask someone to clean it up, and now let her order flower seeds for Xu Jinghe, which shows that the relationship is not ordinary, a character like Ye Shucheng is actually not too new to have one or two more women, but the relationship between Su Nian and Xu Jinghe is embarrassing.
But now, Su Nian was standing in front of her and asked her with an urgent expression.
This Xu Jinghe, is it the one who came back yesterday afternoon? ”
I don't know ......."
She didn't accompany Ye Shucheng to pick up the plane, but it was probably so, but seeing Su Nian's pale face, she couldn't speak.
Mr. Ye bought her a house, right? ”
Rita nodded in embarrassment.
......" Su Nian was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled in disbelief, "Her surname is Xu?" ”
It's like asking Rita, it's like asking yourself.
With the same name and surname, she didn't have a conflict with this name, a possibility appeared in her heart, she was simply a crime with this person.
