Chapter 220: Sickness
Ling Li involuntarily moved back to distance herself, and realized that the action just now was too deliberate and seemed to offend Xie Keer, so she smiled awkwardly.
And in the end, she finally realized that it was easy to pick it up, and she was once again led crooked by Xie Keer, and once again returned to the original point.
Annoyed, Ling Li was choked by her own saliva and coughed, and she couldn't stop coughing, and her face was red for a while.
Xie Keer turned his head to the other side understandingly, not looking at her embarrassment, and gently pushed the tissue box on the table to Ling Li's face.
After a while, Ling Li finally had the strength to pull out a soft tissue and wipe away the little tears that came out of the corners of her eyes because of coughing. Inadvertently, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of Xie Ke's side face looking out the window.
His eyes are too narrow and long, and he has a somewhat wide Chinese face, so that he looks very unremarkable when he looks at it from the front. However, the angular tough guy style of the side face is much more pleasing to the eye.
Ling Li was a little ashamed. Speaking of which, Xie Keer is actually really good to her, she has no shelf, excellent skills, a rich family background, and a first-class figure.
It's just that she really doesn't have feelings for him. Can you come up with a single-line development script?
This world is really full of malice, knowing that she likes to work and live step by step, hates things outside her control, and hates to deal with all kinds of accidents, but God doesn't let her get her wish, but accidents emerge one after another.
Let's not talk about the family affairs, a tragedy that affected her adulthood from being an adult is still confusing. After eight years of believing that Zhong Chengheng was the murderer, everything turned upside down overnight, and even one person after another hinted at her and even told her plainly that maybe her father was the real murderer.
It took her a long time to stabilize her mind, forcing herself not to think about despair, and temporarily holding back the desire to leave everything behind and just want to find the truth, but life and work are still full of unexpected situations.
thought that having Nan Zhiyi was there would be enough for her to be melancholy for a while, but she didn't expect another Xie Keer to come out.
Ling Li really couldn't think about it.
With such a bland appearance and resume, no matter what, it is not a big beauty or a talented woman who can make a rich second generation send her to the door three or four times to ask for a hug? Why did this pie hit her head?
No, there must be something wrong with Sheker's head.
So, she cleared her throat and decided to help Sheker recognize herself.
Ling Li tried to make her voice sound sincere: "Mr. Xie, look, I'm not a beautiful woman and I don't stand out......"
Hearing her speak, Xie Keer immediately turned his head, and at this time interrupted her self-deprecation: "How can there be, each flower has its own eyes, who said that you are not good-looking?" Didn't I just say that? Some people like to be rich and some like light, as long as they look at it and feel comfortable. Besides, I'm not a handsome guy either, okay? If you want to talk about the standard of three courts and five eyes, I'm just afraid that it will be crooked to the sky, do you dislike me for not looking good? ”
Ling Li immediately shook her head, others are modest, how can she, a working girl, follow the boss's words and say that he is ugly? In the next sentence, shouldn't you take the opportunity to persuade Xie Keer to find a big beauty to improve the genes of the next generation?
It was a good way to refuse him, but if she did, she would first have to beware of Sheker throwing her down the twenty-eighth floor.
But in a blink of an eye, he immediately saw a triumphant smile on Xie Keer's face: "You don't think I'm ugly, isn't this over?" ”
The corners of Ling Li's mouth twitched, and she seemed to have fallen into the pit again. How can anything be distorted into an ambiguous style by Xie Keer?
She frowned and pondered, and found the next reason for refusal: "Even if you don't value looks, I don't have much ability to work, and I don't deserve your wrong love." ”
"You're talking nonsense." Xie Keer knocked on the table disapprovingly: "One person helped me get back 20 million, and he also solved so many small cases, and the most important thing was to help me get the pigtails of the mole." Manager Zhang praised you, but you were humble. ”
"That's also my master's strategy." Ling Li opened her mouth and quickly pushed the credit for the black pot to Zhu Jinchuan.
Xie Keer smiled noncommittally: "You know, excessive modesty is pride. Execution is also a manifestation of personal ability. Besides, whether you can make money or not, what does it have to do with me liking you? I don't need you to support my family for the time being, are you doubting my ability to make money? ”
"No, no," Ling Li immediately denied it when she saw that this was wrong, and the next second she realized that she was in the trap again.
Isn't it about the ability to work? Why did you start talking about earning money to support your family again?
No matter how she answered, she had to return to the original topic: "Also, you are still a few months younger than me, we are not suitable." ”
She herself felt outrageous about this reason, but she still gritted her teeth and said it.
Sure enough, Xie Keer seemed to have heard something funny: "A few months are worth your attention?" Isn't sibling love very popular? The French president also married his own teacher, and the age gap between him and others for a few months is simply a drop in the bucket. ”
Ling Li's head was buzzing.
Is it that she is beyond her strength, and she wants to convince Xie Keer with her not so bright eloquence? In terms of the ability to fool and sophistry, the veteran oil son Xie Keer will definitely throw her three streets.
Ling Li's state of exhausting words was actually expected by Xie Keer.
He hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Actually, there is an old saying I don't know if you have heard it, there is no reason to like it, and there are thousands of excuses if you don't like it." At the moment, it seems that I like you more than you like me. ”
Ling Li bit her lower lip, and finally raised her hand in surrender with a sad face: "Mr. Xie, I was wrong, I don't want to discuss this topic anymore, don't tease me anymore." ”
Xie Keer tilted his head to look at her for a while, and suddenly smiled: "So, in fact, you are doubting my sincerity?" ”
Shouldn't it? Fight wits and courage with the charming goblins in your company, why are you coming at me!
Ling Li shouted in her heart, but she didn't say it after all.
She knew that once she said it, Shekel was absolutely capable of making the topic ambiguous again.
"I have someone I like!" She gritted her teeth and finally threw out the killer idea.
This sentence made Xie Keer a little surprised, his eyes tightened, but he immediately grabbed a flaw, and his expression relaxed: "Do you have someone you like?" Not a boyfriend? In other words, you're still single, right?"
Ling Li was a little weak-hearted. Rao is at this critical juncture of refusing to pursue, and she can't say Nan Zhiyi as her boyfriend with a clear conscience, even if it's just as a shield, she can't pull the tiger skin as a banner like this.
Especially if he doesn't like her at all.
After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't say anything against his will, and then looked at Xie Keer and raised his eyebrows and waited for her answer, so he had to say, "Not yet." ”
"As long as you're single." He waited for this answer, and waved his hand happily, "Actually, I can see it very well, as long as you are not married." You like yours, I like mine, everyone competes fairly, and it's just a matter of seeing who gets first. ”
Ling Li's head was already a mess. Why did he and her become a competitive relationship in the end? What's going on here?
After trying to recall that the topic had gone from a plant to marriage in less than ten minutes, Ling Li was once again sure that he was not Xie Ke'er's opponent.
She decided not to dwell on this issue, so she immediately said: "In short, the two of us are not suitable, and it is impossible to be together." ”
She was forced to the edge of the cliff, and when she mustered up the courage to speak, Xie Keer quickly replied.
"I think it is still possible to negotiate again, at least you have been calling me Mr. Xie Xie before, and the sentence just now used 'the two of us', which is already progress."
Xie Keer did not take her resolute attitude in his eyes, and spread his hands with a look of relief.
The feeling of powerlessness of hitting the cotton with a fist appeared again, Ling Li was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "It's not talking about business, is it meaningful to pick up such a word by word?" ”
"Yes!" He shrugged his shoulders and smiled ruffianly, "Didn't a philosopher say that life is actually a process of compromise between yourself and yourself." In the final analysis, whether it is a relationship or a marriage, it is a contract in a broad sense, you let a little, I let a little, you go further, I take a step back, bargain again and again to find a boundary and price that everyone can accept, this business is not negotiated! ”
Seeing love as a business, Ling Li always felt that there was something wrong, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find a reason to refute it, and even faintly felt that Xie Keer's words seemed to have some truth.
In short, when she came to get a lawyer's fee, she could also meet the big guy to confess, and this heavy blow made her confused for several hours, so that she stood downstairs waiting for the elevator, only to find that she didn't know when there was an extra pot of mint in her hand.
Ling Li blinked, trying to remember why she bought a pot of mint?
After a while, I remembered that I had just gone home from the subway entrance, passed by a small shop selling flowers, and saw a small pot of wilting green plants that seemed to be about to wither in the corner of the colorful flower shop.
I asked and knew it was mint, so I bought it.
The girl in the flower shop also told her that this pot of mint hurt the roots, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to raise, so she persuaded her to buy other pots.
But somehow, this weak plant made her feel pity for her, and she bought it despite dissuasion.
Looking back now, she was holding a pot of mint and was sad, and she must have been like a nervous disorder.
Ling Li smiled bitterly. I panicked when I encountered something, and my head was empty, and I didn't know when I could change it.
Fortunately, Sheker was still a gentleman, and did not take advantage of her brain swelling and IQ to stop instilling in her more outlandish concepts.
Well, he didn't drag her to dinner as he usually did when he deliberately approached the time.
But when he sent her downstairs, those words were still in his ears.
"I know you're a cautious person and have too many doubts, and I know you don't like me that much right now. However, if you don't try some people, some things, and some paths, how can you know if it's right or wrong? ”
He had a rare serious face at that time, and his words also made Ling Li reminisce over and over again.
