Chapter 075: From now on, this is our secret
In the afternoon, Su Nian was always restless, and finally deserted and went to the president's office to find Ye Shucheng.
I didn't find it, Ye Shucheng was in a meeting, and Rita smiled apologetically, saying that the meeting would last a few hours.
Su Nian had no choice but to go back to do his own work first, thinking that he would confirm with Ye Shucheng in the evening.
She tried hard to recall that Ye Shucheng had talked about Jing He in front of her only a handful of times, and it seemed that he had not said any specific information, and it was difficult to determine whether it was the same person based on a name alone.
The result of God's disobedience is that the picture is not good again, this time He Zeng's words are a little heavy: "Su Nian, you can do it if you like it, you don't like to do it and leave, you say that you love design a lot, you don't have to go in when you do it, there is no shortage of people here, I want to change assistants for a long time." β
He Zeng rarely cared about other people's feelings when he spoke, and Su Nian had already understood it, and when she heard this, she quickly calmed down and made a picture, she was afraid.
Now she is crumbling in the position of a small assistant in the design department, and she can't offend the master anymore.
But the progress that had been delayed couldn't be made up, so she finally worked overtime until more than eight o'clock, and hurriedly took the subway back to Rongcheng, only to find that Ye Shucheng had not come back.
Eighty percent went to accompany Xu Jinghe.
She couldn't tell how she felt, looking at the empty room in Ye Shu City. She felt like her heart was empty.
waited until ten o'clock, Ye Shucheng came back, but the footsteps hit her door, he didn't stop at all, she got up and chased after him, blocking him at the door of his room.
Her name is Xu Jinghe? β
Ye Shucheng squinted at her, his expression tinged with impatience.
He was actually very tired, there were too many meetings today, and he got off work late in the afternoon, Xu Jinghe was still clamoring to pull him to buy an antique vase, and he didn't come back until this time at a small auction.
The two of them couldn't talk about it last night, and when he saw her now, he only felt a headache.
Su Nian, a partial student, still chased after her: "She went to school in Jincheng No. 2 Middle School, right, she transferred to another school in her first year of high school." β
Ye Shucheng was stunned, and the first thing that came to mind was that Su Nian went to inquire.
Xu Jinghe's full name, as well as his background.
His face was slightly gloomy, "What do you want to know?" β
She said, "You tell me if I'm right. β
He lost his patience, propped his hand on the door panel behind her, and lowered his head close to her, "Su Nian, don't talk to me in such a questioning tone. β
She clenched her hands into fists at her side, "I may know her, remember when I said that I also know a person named 'Jing He', she is also surnamed Xu, she is my high school ......"
Enough," he interrupted her, "what about acquaintance?" β
Su Nian clenched his fists, "If it's the same person, no." β
What not? β
You can't be with her. β
Ye Shucheng sneered, "Reason." β
β¦β¦β
Su Nian fell silent.
She and Xu Jinghe did have some festive experiences, but strictly speaking, it was not a deep hatred, but after the fire at the age of fifteen, Xu Jinghe's attitude shocked her.
Ye Shucheng couldn't wait for her to answer, and raised his hand to push her from the door to the door, Su Nian was extremely stunned, and blurted out: "I don't like her." β
He paused and stared into her eyes, "Who am I with you that you need to like, and you approve?" Su Nian, there is a deal between us, you figure out your identity. β
His words pierced her heart, and her face turned pale instantly.
He added: "So don't let me see that you and He Zeng can't figure it out, I also have a way to deal with He Zeng." β
After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at her, pushed away her body blocking the door, and threw the door shut after entering, the force was not small, and Su Nian's ears at the door were buzzing.
She stood for a few moments before slowly returning to her room.
Her hands were trembling with anger, and this time even He Zeng was involved.
At that moment, she wanted to throw her face and leave, and wanted to say that she didn't do this deal, but she didn't have the courage.
Ye Shucheng once used to deal with Jian'an and the Shen family for her, she saw it in her eyes and angered him, her design dream didn't even have a way to live, in case He Zeng was implicated again, it would be even more troublesome.
He was condescending, stepping on her to death was like stepping on an ant, and she suddenly realized her insignificance and ridiculousness at this moment, she actually fell in love with him, she and he were not the same world at all.
Now that Xu Jinghe is back, he doesn't bother to coax her anymore and ask her to figure out her identity.
She huddled on the bed in her room and hugged herself, and the moonlight fell on the bed, and she curled up in a ball. Thinking of the embraces he gave her many nights in the past, she felt warm and reliable at that time, but it turned out that it was just her own passion.
In the next few days, Ye Shucheng and Su Nian fell into a cold war.
Although he lived in the same villa and worked in the same company, Su Nian hadn't seen Ye Shucheng for a few days.
Every day she gets up very early, then takes the subway to work, and in the afternoon she works overtime until late, and then returns to Rongcheng, often at this time Ye Shucheng has not returned.
He doesn't go home for dinner now and doesn't call her, she can probably think that he is with Xu Jinghe, in fact, what does it matter which Jing He is, anyway, Jing He is the white moonlight in his mind, he won't listen to whatever she says, not to mention that he doesn't even give her a chance to speak now.
Besides, if you really want to say those things about her and Xu Jinghe back then, it will only sound like she is saying bad things about Xu Jinghe to others, or she is cautious.
Without his temperature, the night always seemed too long, Su Nian often tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, but no matter how late it was, in the end she would always hear the footsteps passing by her door.
He would come back every night.
β¦β¦
It was not that Ye Shucheng didn't listen to what Su Nian said, but he didn't want to dig deeper, and after thinking about it again, he also gave up the idea of going to Xu Jinghe for verification.
The reason is very simple, if Su Nian and Xu Jinghe really know each other, things will only become more troublesome for him.
The relationship between him and Xu Jinghe is there, and it will not change because of Su Nian's words, and he is not very interested in the old things between women, and the biggest problem in front of him right now is balance.
On one side is Su Nian, on the other side is Xu Jinghe, he never thought that he would fall into such a troublesome relationship before, shameless he admitted, but it is useless to admit it, he and Su Nian have changed their taste, and they can't be frank with Xu Jinghe, he has become the kind of man he despised before, but he can't stop.
That day, when he saw Su Nian and He Zeng next to the elevator, and saw He Zeng's hand fall on her waist, he actually had an urge to push He Zeng away in the past.
He didn't feel like himself.
His calmness, calmness and self-control, all of them were disintegrated by Su Nian, even the principles were gone, he threatened her, asked her to stay by his side, he saw her tears, but he couldn't go over and wipe them away for her, although it had become like this between them, but he couldn't let go.
Even if this relationship is so unbearable, it is better to survive than without her by his side.
It's just that Xu Jinghe is becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
In the evening, he had dinner with Xu Jinghe in Yishui Yunju, and when he was about to leave, she took his hand and said, "Shucheng." It's too hard for you to run around like this, why don't you live here, there are so many rooms here......"
He didn't stop, and slowly continued to walk out, "I still have something to do when I go back." β
Xu Jinghe smiled reluctantly, feeling very uncomfortable.
She hadn't figured out what the situation was before the woman who answered Ye Shucheng's call, and after she came back, Ye Shucheng had always had this lukewarm attitude, how could she not have a sense of crisis.
On the other hand, looking at the way she has gotten along with Ye Shucheng in the past few days, where is it like a pair of lovers, every time she asks him out, she also takes the initiative to call, even if he comes, he is also with her to eat and watch TV. Let's chat, he doesn't talk much, he can't be active, and then he has to leave at nine o'clock in the evening every day.
The woman is very sensitive in this regard, and she vaguely thinks that there are other women around him, and she even pays attention to the smell of his body, or whether he has long hair on him, etc., but she does not find any clues.
Ye Shucheng didn't like her to push too hard, and she couldn't pester him to ask questions, so he would be annoyed.
The relationship had just begun, and she didn't want to lose him because she was not careful.
Ye Shucheng got into the car, and when she turned around, she showed a bright smile and waved at him. He also smiled slightly, his subordinates were in gear, and the car was speeding out with the sound of the engine in the next second, like a sword off the string, and the corners of Xu Jinghe's mouth slowly drooped.
He left without any reluctance, not even a farewell kiss.
It seems that she still has a long way to go.
β¦β¦
Ye Shucheng returned to Rongcheng at nearly eleven o'clock, and after going upstairs, he squatted at the door of Su Nian's bedroom, and he hesitated for a while before pushing the door in.
Su Nian didn't sleep, she was holding her laptop on the bed and reading the teaching CD He Zeng gave her before, and she was stunned when she heard footsteps.
He never went into her room these days.
Thinking back to the last conversation before was unpleasant, she looked up and looked down at him, her eyes falling back to the computer screen.
The room was not lit, and her palm-sized little face was reflected by the light of the computer, and it was miserable.
He touched a cold face, but he didn't stop, walked over and loosened his tie, and sat down beside her, silent, his hand touching her back.
Startled, she instinctively dodged, and he grabbed her arm.
How is the injury, I will have a review tomorrow. β
She was stunned.
She had forgotten about the review.
She pursed her lips, and there was a subtle stalemate between the two of them, watching him never let go. "It's already good," she said. β
Let me see. β
Don't look at it, I said okay. β
Ye Shucheng sighed heavily.
His patience was very limited, and he put her notebook aside, but she didn't grab it, he turned around and grabbed her waist and pushed the person to the bed.
You let go of me......"
She was anxious and pushed her hand on his shoulder, but the man's arm tightened her ribs, where could she break free? His other hand ripped off the strap of her yukata and pulled it over her shoulder.
This position is actually not very good-looking, but it can't be helped, she struggles too much.
Don't ......."
She panicked, and hurriedly pressed his hand with her hand, but before she could do so, the loose yukata slipped down all of a sudden, and half of her body was exposed at once, she was completely confused, and quickly blocked her chest first.
He suddenly laughed, "I haven't seen anywhere." β
There was shame on her face, she glared at him viciously, the corners of his lips were raised higher, and she was in her arms, her eyes fell from behind her, and her hand gently touched the injured place, slowly rubbing.
The light was too dim for him to see anything. Only touching that place had not fully recovered, and it had formed a slightly convex ridge on her smooth back, and he was a little distressed.
Look at it. β
She urged uncomfortably.
Now that the trade had become a threat, she didn't even have the heart to deal with it.
He paused for a few seconds between his fingers, then wrapped his arms around her back, hugged her tightly, and buried his head on her shoulder, and he smelled the faint fragrance of her bath, and her smell, and he was a little intoxicated, and his lips rubbed slowly on her shoulder.
She stiffened.
She didn't fail to hear his increasingly heavy gasps, and knew what it meant, her hands clenched into fists, "I...... I'm having my period. β
He paused for a moment to hear her add, "This time it's true." β
He said, "Got it." β
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was the end, but he didn't expect him to press her down on the bed, and kissed her again, and she was about to lose her breath before leaving her lips, he touched her cheek, and his voice was hoarse: "You can't escape anyway, why should you make yourself unhappy?" β
She froze.
His head was buried in her collarbone, and with a light bite, she screamed and heard him say, "I don't like you like this." β
After saying that, he sat up, she quickly pulled up her clothes, and when she saw that he got up to leave, she still couldn't help but say something unpleasant.
Could it be that Mr. Ye expects me to be threatened and greet me with a smile? β
He stopped, turned around, and looked at her condescendingly, "Su Nian, the article that allows you to enter the design industry has not been in our trading conditions from the beginning. β
She was choked and speechless.
Ye Shucheng didn't settle this account with her before, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know it in his heart, he has been in business for a long time in his bones, and if he really cares, Su Nian is not his opponent.
That's what I gave you. Now if you want to leave, it's normal for me to take it back, don't look like a pitiful victim, if you want, you can give up. β
She tugged at the corner of her yukata and couldn't speak.
This is purely standing and talking without backache, he just said this when he was sure that she would not give up, how can she develop elsewhere now at her level?
This world is too realistic, and she will not be more tolerant of her because she has put in more effort, no education, no real gold projects, which company will accept her as a design assistant who is halfway home.
He raised his hand and grabbed her chin to force her to look up.
Previous transactions expire and are invalid. Now that you hear clearly, follow me, do the design," paused, and continued: "This is a new deal, we don't talk about feelings, if one day I'm tired, I can get together and disperse, but if you continue to make such a fuss, there will be no result, I Ye Shucheng don't look at anyone's face, you either accept this deal, or you have a little bit of interest, clean up and leave, I can still afford you." β
Her jaw ached, and her eyes slowly drooped.
He's right, she's just not productive.
He let go of her and turned to leave, his heart growing heavier.
Since then, it seems that even talking well has become a luxury, and he has no other way but to hope that these words will make her figure it out by herself.
β¦β¦
Following.
Su Nian arrived at the company early in the morning, and just after punching the card, before she had time to sit at her desk, Rita came over, saying that Ye Shucheng had ordered her to take Su Nian for a review.
Su Nian was actually too lazy to go. She still had a job on hand, but Rita was also an errand, so she thought about it and packed her things and went with Rita.
The two of them went downstairs and walked out of the hall to the parking lot, Su Nian lowered his head and used his mobile phone to send He Zeng's footsteps to a sudden stop.
Allow...... Miss Xu. β
Su Nian raised his head when he heard this.
Directly in front of her, a woman in a long linen dress, with brisk steps, a car key in her hand, a bright face, wavy curls scattered over her shoulders, nodded and smiled at Rita. "Rita, you're going out?"
Rita nodded, "Mr. Ye ordered something. β
Su Nian looked at it in a daze, and Rita was a little nervous, she couldn't figure out if Xu Jinghe knew Su Nian, and if the two of them bumped head-on at this time, would there be any trouble.
Xu Jinghe looked up at the tall building in front of him, "Is Shucheng busy today?" β
Rita replied: "There are two meetings and there are clients to meet...... Miss Xu, do Mr. Ye know about this matter of you coming over? β
I wanted to surprise him. Xu Jinghe smiled, "Then I'll go up to him." β
Rita didn't think Ye Shucheng would like this surprise too much, but this was not something she could interject as a subordinate. I can only nod.
Xu Jinghe continued to walk forward, and after a few steps, a female voice came, "Xu Jinghe." β
Rita was stunned, she just saw that Su Nian was stunned, and before she could speak, Su Nian called out Xu Jinghe's name.
Su Nian turned around, and Xu Jinghe had already turned around, looking at her with some hesitation.
You are ......"
Su Nian smiled: "I'm Su Nian, remember?" β
Xu Jinghe's car key, which he had been throwing in for a long time, fell to the ground, and the metal hit the ground with a crisp sound.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.
She had already seen it when she spoke to Rita, she just didn't recognize it.
Su Nian in his memory is not like this.
In memory. Su Nian is not only fat, but also unpleasant in appearance, her skin is still a little dark, and the whole person looks very clumsy and bloated because of obesity, and the woman in front of her, not to mention her slender body, smart eyes, and her appearance is also outstanding in the crowd, where is the shadow of that fat girl?
Rita was confused, and couldn't see through the situation between the two people in front of her, Su Nian seemed to know Xu Jinghe, and Xu Jinghe, since he heard Su Nian's name, his face turned pale, like a ghost.
It took Xu Jinghe a long time to hide his gaffe, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was very far-fetched, "Su Nian, I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you ...... Over here? β
I work here. β
Su Nian's attitude was very indifferent.
Now it seems that it is right, it is the same person as Xu Jinghe she guessed.
The wound that had been precipitated in the depths of her memory ached faintly, and she felt extremely ridiculous, why Xu Jinghe, thousands of people in the world, who Ye Shucheng was not good with, but it was Xu Jinghe, she couldn't bear it.
Rita was a little surprised in her heart, originally Ye Shucheng didn't recognize Su Nian outside. She thought that Xu Jinghe was the one who was above board, but now Xu Jinghe was like a junior who had been caught, and there was panic in her eyes that was difficult to hide.
Xu Jinghe was silent, and Su Nian asked again: "You came to find Mr. Ye." β
Xu Jinghe was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded, his movements very stiff.
Su Nian also nodded, "Then go up quickly." β
Xu Jinghe bent over to pick up the car keys, picked them up again and then slipped from between his fingers, picked them up again before clenching them, got up and smiled at Su Nian and Rita, and turned to leave.
Su Nian said to Rita, "Let's go too." β
β¦β¦
Xu Jinghe came to surprise Ye Shucheng, but she found a scare for herself first.
When she entered Ye Shucheng's office, her face did not recover, and Ye Shucheng was busy with the work at hand. Unaware of it, she waited on the sidelines.
She sat on the sofa next to her, trying to find it from all kinds of clues, as if Ye Shucheng had not behaved particularly abnormally in the past few days, and it was the same for her as before.
So wait a minute, how do you ask?
asked too much, even if he didn't know, he would be suspicious, but if she didn't ask, she was unstable after all.
Thinking of Su Nianfang's meaningful smile at her, she was a little stunned in her heart.
She never thought that Su Nian would appear in her field of vision, work, in case Su Nian had contact with Ye Shucheng before......
When he thought of this, Ye Shucheng called her.
Jing He. β
Her thoughts were interrupted, and she looked up to see him rubbing his brow tiredly, "Why are you here?" β
She came and didn't call him in advance, so she suddenly appeared, and he was a little irritable in the bottom of his heart.
He was not interested in being surprised or anything, and more importantly, Xu Jinghe came, and it was possible that he would meet Su Nian in the company.
Xu Jinghe smiled: "I just want to come and see, after all, this is your company, and I, as a girlfriend, have never been here." β
He smiled faintly, "It's nothing to look at, and I still have a job." Nor can I accompany you. β
She looked a little dumbfounded, lowered her head, pinched her palm, and said, "I just saw Rita downstairs." β
Ye Shucheng was stunned.
That's to see Su Nian.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he didn't avoid it, and let out a faint "um".
Rita took Su Nian with her, Su Nian, do you know her, she is my high school classmate. β
As she said this, her nervous palms sweated.
Ye Shucheng's voice was still indifferent: "Know." β
She pursed her lips and looked up at him after a moment, "You guys...... Is it familiar? β
She's in the architectural design department, a newly established department, so she's not been in the company for a long time......" he wrung his eyebrows. "What are you asking for?"
Ye Shucheng's answer was too ambiguous, her heart couldn't settle down, but she didn't dare to ask too much, so she said very euphemistically: "That's it...... Think it's a coincidence, work, employees who have not been in the company for a long time, which department do you remember her, and you have a good relationship? β
Jinghe ......"
His voice deepened, and she intuitively felt that she had asked the wrong thing, and was about to say something, but he interrupted her.
Yes, I am very impressed with Su Nian, so what? β
She was stunned. Suddenly full of grievances.
Ye Shucheng is not good at coaxing women, and he lacks patience, but he can't let Xu Jinghe and Su Nianzhen get on the bar at this time, he said: "Actually, Jinghe, I told you, I will give you what you want, you said you want to be with me, then we will be together, but this takes time for me to accept, how long has it been, you have begun to speculate about my relationship with other women, how can we continue?" β
Xu Jinghe panicked, "I won't ask." I ......"
She paused, cautiously observing his face, "Ask the last question, and it's the last one." β
Ye Shucheng smiled a little helplessly, "What." β
Do Su Nian and Rita know your previous name? She was very careful when she asked, and she brought Rita with her so that he would not be suspicious.
Ye Shucheng was stunned.
There are only people who know that name now, and that name represents his almost buried past, which is engraved in his heart, but never mentioned.
That's a secret, how would they know. β
Xu Jinghe was a little relieved.
Su Nian's face blindness was very serious back then, which was well known at the time, and she and Ye Shucheng should have only met once that day, and now nearly ten years have passed, everyone's appearance has also changed a lot, it seems that Su Nian and Ye Shucheng did not recognize each other.
She breathed a sigh of relief and got up and walked over, "Then you promise me that you are not allowed to tell others your name." β
Ye Shucheng felt that she was a little naΓ―ve, but thinking about a former name that he himself didn't like to show around, he smiled and nodded, "Okay." β
You swear. β
β¦β¦β
She looked at Ye Shucheng's unbearable expression, made a compromise, and stretched out her hand, "Then let's pull the hook." β
He frowned, but still stretched out his hand, and his little fingers hooked together, and she smiled with relief: "This will be our secret in the future." β
