Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger, she was at a loss when she was caught in the middle, and she could only nervously watch the verbal tentative attacks between the two of them, her empty hands clenched into fists, trying to suppress the tension in her heart.

The powerful aura emanating from Chen Cheng's body, Chris couldn't feel it, but he was probably really used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he didn't care about the threat in Chen Cheng's eyes at all.

Chen Cheng frowned slightly, he was quite dissatisfied with the rudeness of the behavior and attitude of the person in front of him.

"However, I think she is the safest only by staying by my side, and only I can give her the best life, and I don't need others to worry about this."

"Safety?! Ha? Are you serious? Still telling a joke that I don't understand the point of the joke. ”

Chris deliberately opened his eyes exaggeratedly, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke, laughed wantonly, and even pretended to cover his stomach with both hands, as if he was afraid that Chen Cheng would not know that he was laughing at him.

"Hey, I said, the famous Chen Shao, are you using your imagination to protect others? Or do you and I understand the meaning of protection differently? You don't know, if I hadn't ...... just now"

"That's it! Chris, don't say any more, I'm going back to work. ”

Su Jiarui interrupted the confrontation between the two with an anxious mouth, she didn't want Chen Cheng to know what she had just experienced.

Although she tried her best to deny her relationship with the Su family, she even wanted to simply break off with the Su family.

But in the end, Su Zhixin is no longer a thing, and he is her father by blood, if Chen Cheng knows what happened to her just now, I am afraid that the next day, the entire Su family will disappear from Cloud City out of thin air.

In the end, she can't make herself ruthless enough to take revenge on the other party as if nothing happened under the premise of knowing the tragic ending.

Chris read her silent plea from Su Jiarui's eyes, and there was a faint wave in his eyes, but he didn't continue to speak, he waved his hand helplessly, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's important to go to work and make money, I still have something to do, go first, Su, you take care of yourself." ”

Su Jiarui watched Chris's thin back disappear across the street, and before she could say anything, the next second, she was held by Chen Cheng's hand, almost dragged, and before she could react, she was pulled into the private elevator room by Chen Cheng on a rampage.

"Hmm!"

The place where she had just been injured was still aching, but now with Chen Cheng's vigorous tearing without leaving any room, it made her face pale in an instant.

"Ding!"

The elevator door closed slowly, because it was Chen Cheng's private elevator, so in the elevator room, only two floors were displayed.

In the final analysis, even if her time in the Chen Group is not too short, and even in the eyes of outsiders, the ambiguous relationship between her and Chen Cheng has long been self-evident, but like today, there are really not many such experiences in a private elevator exclusive to Chen Cheng.

The small space and the two people who fell into a short silence made the originally awkward atmosphere even more awkward.

Su Jiarui deliberately didn't look at the expression on Chen Cheng's face at this time, but turned her head to look at the numbers beating on the elevator, she was shocked, she understood that from here to the top floor, there was a long time for her now, but every minute and second with Chen Cheng now was not torment for her.

Su Jiarui looked at the numbers that had been beating on it, her heart was like a mess, and before she could figure out how to deal with the questioning from Chen Cheng, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

Chen Cheng's shoulders were flipped over suddenly, and his back slammed into the elevator door behind him, and he was greeted by a cold gaze like a man and a beast.

"Who is he?"

In a word, it was obviously a question, but he said it in a commanding tone.

The force on her shoulders was still slowly pressing the fragile line of defense in her heart, Su Jiarui understood that this was a manifestation of Chen Cheng's anger, but she didn't know why, maybe it was Chris's free speech just now that deeply touched her, and it made a little wave in her heart.

Now in Chen Cheng's private elevator, in a closed environment, her brain has more time and space to think about the series of things she has experienced recently, which makes her suddenly wake up, even if she has achieved what she couldn't achieve before through her own efforts, she can't ignore the fact that she has always been in Chen Cheng's hands.

In the past, she tried her best to escape from Cloud City, just to fight for the right to live freely, but a few years later, she gradually lost herself completely in her daily life.

Chen Cheng is worthy of being a scheming businessman in the end, if she was imprisoned in the villa before was just imprisoning her body, then now, step by step, she has become the position of Chen's creative director, little by little she has the direction she can strive for, everything in front of her is not another layer of spiritual cage that Chen has become compiled by her!

It can even be said that the effect and intensity of this kind of spiritual cage are far better than locking her directly in the villa.

She had read about such an experiment in a book before, where the scientists kept the birds in cages, and at first because they were not used to the environment in the cages, the birds flapped their wings desperately in the cage and bumped around, until they were scarred, and they did not give up hope that they could escape from here.

In the face of the grains put by the scientists, they did not eat a mouthful, as if they intended to starve themselves to death for the sake of freedom.

But then, after the scientists provided it with delicious food and drink day after day, the originally angry bird began to accept life in the cage step by step. The amount of grain you get every day is far better than the hard work you have to do but get nothing.

So slowly, it also began to get used to standing on the small branches in the cage, lazily alienating its feathers, enjoying the feeling of having grain at any time.

Eventually, when the experiment was nearing its end, the scientists opened the cage, but in time, the bird did not regain the urge to fly out of the cage, it would only look up blankly at the sky that was already unfamiliar to it, and would never go on a rampage and injure itself as it had when it first came in, because it had already adapted to life in the cage.

The scary thing is that this experiment was only carried out for a few months, and a few months is enough to change the living conditions of a bird.

And now, isn't she the bird that was caught for experiments?

In the final analysis, it was just that she was blinded by the victory that Chen Cheng deliberately gave her in front of her, and she became a caged bird trapped in a cage.

Chen Cheng can hold her accountable for knowing Chris, in the final analysis, but she is not allowed to have the possibility of getting out of his control.

His affection for himself has never been a man-woman relationship, but a desire for exclusivity to consolidate his authority.

In Chen Cheng's place, she is just a pawn that can be used, so no matter what, she can't escape his control, let alone have her own ideas.

Su Jiarui bit her lower lip, her heart was deep in her unwillingness and dissatisfaction, and for the first time, she looked into the eyes of the man in front of her brightly.

In the deep eyes like a deep pool, she saw her eyes that were slightly red because of excitement, so unwilling, but so frightened.

It's like a cat shining its claws and fangs in front of a tiger temple, ridiculous but not worthy of sympathy.

It turns out that in his eyes, he is so small and helpless.

Su Jiarui choked up and said, "Chen Cheng, in your eyes, what am I?" ”

Maybe he didn't think that Su Jiarui would ask such a sentence at all, a rare trace of panic flashed in Chen Cheng's eyes, and even the force that restrained her was much lighter.

"Chen Cheng, you should understand, I don't want to get involved in the troubled waters of the Su family at all, I even told you about it, but whenever I want to leave, it's you who push me into the abyss with your own hands, I want to ask you, are you torturing me, or do you want to see my jokes? Tear open the scars with my own hands and see that my family is nothing more than a bunch of shameless people who huddle together for profit. Do you think I'll feel the slightest bit of joy when I do this? ”

The originally tense and dangerous atmosphere gradually faded a little because of Su Jiarui's almost self-defeating question.

Chen Cheng gradually withdrew the hands that restrained her, but his eyes were still staring at the person in front of him.

Su Jiarui breathed a long sigh of relief and lowered her head slightly, she didn't dare to look directly into Chen Cheng's eyes, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but fall into it and be unable to extricate herself again.

"The problem with the new project, in fact, you guessed that it was the problem of the Su family in the early morning, right? You must think it's funny to watch me try to perform like a clown? ”

Su Jiarui suddenly burst into a poignant smile, I don't know if it was because of the struggle just now, or the blow to her soul now, she felt that her legs seemed to be trembling slightly, and she almost couldn't stand on her feet.

"You think of me like that?"

Chen Chengjian raised his eyebrows, and the anger in his eyes rose again, he suddenly remembered that the mixed-race man next to Su Jiarui was downstairs just now, from the conversation and posture of the two of them, it was obvious that he had known each other for a while, but he didn't know anything about these at all, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"Su Jiarui, you would rather believe other people's words, but you don't want to believe me? In your eyes, what I do is enough, and what others do is a good heart? ”

In the face of Chen Cheng's aggressive questioning, Su Jiarui didn't even have the strength to answer him.

Her pale forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat, and her hands were barely supported by the elevator door, but they were already faintly declining.

"Chen Cheng, I'm really tired, please let me go, I want to be free, but I've been living under your control, I've no strength."
