Chapter 38: Estrangement
"Dad, what the hell are you thinking?" Looking at the family photo on the table, she suddenly realized that she had never known her father.
Xia Luoyue sat for a long time. She knew that since she had taken this step, there was no way back. She must keep going, or all previous efforts will be in vain.
And her father's expectations for her will be completely shattered.
Now, only Xiao Tianlei can help her.
Xia Luoyue was a little annoyed, she didn't want to disturb Xiao Tianlei, but in the end, she couldn't do anything.
"Mi Li, come in."
The rice grains soon came. She felt a little relieved to see that Xia Luoyue's face had returned to normal.
"Mr. Xia, what can I do for you?"
"I'm going out now. If someone looks for me, say I'm out. Xia Luoyue put on her coat and made a small arrangement. When she went out, she looked at the mess on the ground and said, "Clean it up!" ”
Mi Li didn't ask any more questions, and did things very conscientiously.
Xia Luoyue got into a taxi. This is the first time she has come to Xiao Tianlei's company, and Xiao Tianlei never talks about anything about the company in front of her.
Xia Luoyue stood in front of the JC Group Building. The top of the building seems to reach into the sky, majestic. This is the most emblematic building of the Imperial City.
"Miss, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist immediately stopped Xia Luoyue and looked very calm.
"I'm Xia Luoyue." Xia Luoyue said the name lightly, and the receptionist's face immediately changed. The name is not new to them.
Because this name has an inseparable relationship with their President Xiao, it has almost become a must-talk for the whole company after dinner
The receptionist couldn't help but look at the person in front of her. Although she herself is much better looking than on TV, she is not an unbeatable beauty. Why is it favored by their president?
"Questions?" Xia Luoyue asked.
"No ......" The receptionist immediately put away his inquiring gaze, and his attitude changed a lot. She led Xia Luoyue to Xiao Tianlei's special elevator, and then took her directly to Xiao Tianlei's office.
"Assistant Wei, this is Mrs. Xiao, she wants to see Mr. Xiao." The receptionist reported.
Assistant Wei was also taken aback, the people who followed Xiao Tianlei were very sensitive. He looked at Xia Luoyue and smiled: "Madam, Mr. Xiao is still in a meeting, do you want to wait for him in the lounge?" ”
Mr. Xiao has a private lounge in his office, but he rarely uses it. Because Xiao Tianlei is usually in a state of desperate work when he works, there is no concept of "rest" at all.
"Would you rather have tea or coffee?" Assistant Qian asked respectfully.
"No, I don't need anything! You'd better go ahead and get to work! I'll wait for him here. Xia Luoyue replied softly.
Until she sat in Xiao Tianlei's lounge, she still couldn't believe that she really came to find Xiao Tianlei.
Without prior greetings, even now, she doesn't seem to be able to find a reasonable explanation for her impulsive behavior.
Xia Luoyue had been sitting, leaning on the sofa, and as she waited, the uneasiness began to gradually dissipate.
Soon after, she heard the office door being pushed open.
Xia Luoyue was about to walk out of the lounge immediately, she was about to speak, but she saw that Xiao Tianlei was not the only one who came in, Qin Sang also walked in, and she was dressed very sexy.
Of course, she knew that Qin Sang had other thoughts about Xiao Tianlei, but now that Qin Sang had appeared in his company, it made Xia Luoyue feel a little strange.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Tianlei looked indifferent, took out a document, quickly skimmed through the content on it, and then signed.
Qin Sang took out a beautifully packaged snack and smiled very happily: "This is a snack I specially prepared for you." How about you try it? ”
Xiao Tianlei raised his head slightly, without any expression on his face: "I'm working now." If there's nothing to do, go back first. ”
Qin Sang was not angry either. After all, Xiao Tianlei is always so cold. She took the initiative to open the bag, picked up the snack and handed it to Xiao Tianlei's mouth.
Xiao Tianlei didn't refuse, he happened to be a little hungry anyway, so he continued to eat with his mouth. Qin Sang also carefully wiped the remaining debris from the corners of his mouth. The two were so close to each other that they seemed to be glued together at any moment.
Xia Luoyue felt a little angry, and her fingertips squeezed into her palm little by little. My chest was depressed, as if it was blocked by something.
"Cousin, it's been a long time since you've seen Yun Lan. She misses you so much. Let's go see her over the weekend! Qin Sang took Xiao Tianlei's arm, like a spoiled child.
Xiao Tianlei did not answer immediately. But after thinking about it, he nodded: "Okay." ”
"Then it's decided. I'll come to you then. Qin Sang hooked his lips and stared at Xiao Tianlei with a flickering gaze.
"Okay." Xiao Tianlei is still in a lukewarm tone.
Xia Luoyue stood in the dark, watching them get along, it was very natural and comfortable. The two of them seemed to her to be almost a perfect match, and they were a natural fit.
Xia Luoyue felt very sad in her heart. tried to imprint the restlessness in her heart, but when she saw Xiao Tianlei's faint smile, that heart instantly contracted into a ball.
Since they got married, she asked to see his mother several times, but Xiao Tianlei always refused, and didn't even give her a suitable reason.
But he allowed Qin Sang to accompany him by his side, even if it wasn't all, at least he could explain some things smoothly.
Qin Sang was a special existence in his heart.
And she, in his heart, must be nothing.
Xia Luoyue stood until her legs were sore and her eyes were dry.
Qin Sang stayed there all the time, pulling Xiao Tianlei to talk about this and that, although Qin Sang was talking most of the time, and Xiao Tianlei only occasionally answered a word or two, but the long-term tacit understanding between them was not comparable to her.
After that, Xiao Tianlei went to the meeting again, and Qin Sang followed. Xia Luoyue had just come out of the lounge. She looked rather pale. When she pushed open the office door, Assistant Wei was a little surprised. "Madame, why are you still here?"
Just after Qin Sang suddenly appeared, he didn't have a chance to inform Xiao Tianlei, so Xiao Tianlei walked in, originally thinking that Xia Luoyue had already met Xiao Tianlei.
"Don't tell him I've been here today." Xia Luoyue ignored the surprised Assistant Wei and turned around to go out until she entered the elevator, still playing the scene of the two of them together in her mind.
Xia Luoyue was sullen in her heart, and walked out of the JC Group building listlessly, she heard a lot of buzzing behind her,
But she didn't want to stop, she just felt a little tired.
Xia Luoyue returned to the company, as the company's CEO, her work status is very bad, and there are no documents on the table waiting to be confirmed, she should be the nominal CEO who has been vacated.
"Mi Li, send all the company's data information to my computer." Xia Luoyue gave a big order.
She can't do nothing and wait for the chairman to take control of the company. Since the other party wants her to retreat from the difficulties, then she learns to face the difficulties in reverse order.
"Yes, Mr. Xia!"
Xia Luoyue looked at all the business data about Xia's over the years and looked at it very carefully. She tried to immerse herself in her work, instead of thinking about Xiao Tianlei or Qin Sang.
By the time she had read more than half of Xia's data, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, showing that it was Xiao Tianlei.
Xia Luoyue silently looked at the caller ID, and finally answered the phone.
"I have dinner tonight, so I can't go back with you. I'll have the driver pick you up. ”
"No, I'll take a taxi back by myself." Xia Luoyue couldn't say how she felt in her heart. Xiao Tianlei seemed to be very busy, he hung up the phone, and he didn't have time to talk to her.
Xia Luoyue stared blankly at her phone for a while. She didn't put it down until its screen went black.
When Xia Luoyue returned to the villa, Xiao Tianlei naturally hadn't come back yet. She didn't have much appetite to eat, so she went straight back to her room to rest.
The housekeeper asked several times, but Xia Luoyue did not respond.
In the room, the TV was on all the time, but she didn't look into anything, her heart was noisy. For a while, it was the company's problem, and for a while, it was Xiao Tianlei's problem, which made her completely unable to calm down.
Xia Luoyue, after thinking about it, simply slept on the sofa. In a daze, it was as if I heard footsteps.
She knew it was Xiao Tianlei, but she just didn't want to open her eyes, she just pretended to be asleep.
Xiao Tianlei's footsteps got closer and closer, stopping beside her, and soon he felt a corner of the sofa sink.
A somewhat cold palm touched her cheek.
Xia Luoyue did a turn-over exercise, Xiao Tianlei noticed; and said, "Did I wake you up?" ”
Xia Luoyue knew that she couldn't pretend anymore, so she could only open her eyes and look at Xiao Tianlei with big black eyes.
"How do you sleep here? Are you still chasing TV series? Xiao Tianlei asked as he casually wanted to pull Xia Luoyue up and hold her in his arms.
But Xia Luoyue not only dodged, but also took a step back.
Xiao Tianlei's hand fell into the air, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you want me to see your mother?" I didn't expect her to ask directly. The question seemed to weigh on her heart all the time, and it would take her breathless.
Xiao Tianlei frowned, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and a look of displeasure flashed on his face.
"I already told you, the time is not yet up."
"I won't ask again." Xia Luoyue can't be said to be disappointed or anything else. A strange feeling hung over her, and it made her breathless.
Xiao Tianlei seemed to want to say something, but Xia Luoyue had already gone to bed.
Xiao Tianlei took off his clothes, lay sideways beside Xia Luoyue, and reached out to hug Xia her as usual, but she took the initiative to dodge.
There is a great distance between them.
However, Xiao Tianlei just looked at her in a daze for a while, and did not make any other moves, and then quickly lay down.
Close your eyes, maybe it's the so-called weird bedside dream.
Xia Luoyue got up early to go to the company, as if she was deliberately avoiding Xiao Tianlei.
