"No!"

Fang Xiao nervously shrank back, desperately trying to break free of his restraints.

She stood up in a rage and reproached him: "How could you say such a thing? I must be dizzy to listen to your nonsense here. I'm Yiyi and your sister, I'm here to persuade you to go back and reconcile with Yiyi, why did you say such a strange argument? Now that you are married to Yiyi, you should be devoted to her, how can you entangle with me here? ”

"Fang Xiao!" He looked at her, and the rain was raging outside, and there seemed to be thousands of horses roaring.

His eyes were also like a turbulent river, as if he could sweep everything away, "You have always been strong, why don't you dare to face reality this time?" ”

"It has nothing to do with being strong." She retorted, "I don't think you're talking about any reality, there shouldn't be anything between us at all." ”

"So, do you admit that there was something between us before?"

Having gained a foothold in the chaos of thought, she turned her head away, staring at the city night in the pouring rain.

She said coldly and calmly, "Even as you say, this mistake cannot be changed. Yiyi is my sister, if you hurt her and divorce her, you will be the person I hate the most, and I will never forgive you. ”

On a cold and rainy night, only the colors of the neon lights outside the window are bright and jumpy, but that kind of light is also cold and dead, flickering on the top of the giant building without a trace of life heat.

The next day in the flower shop, she was also listless.

Xiaoyun also noticed it and worked quietly.

Fang Xiao lowered his head and finished cutting a large bundle of camellias, and when he looked up, he only felt dizzy, so he pressed his temples and said to Xiaoyun: "I'll go out for a cup of coffee, you look at the store first." ”

Xiaoyun agreed, Fang Xiao left the store, walked across the street and walked to Yangzhi Square.

At one end of the square, there is the famous Orimo Cafe.

She went in, found a place to sit down by the gurgling man-made waterfall, asked for a cup of pure coffee, took a sip, and couldn't help but feel much better.

Inadvertently, he saw the person next to him, it was the gentleman who came to buy white camellia every day, he smiled at her, got up, and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course." She leaned back in her chair, the power of the coffee calming her headache and she felt a lot more relaxed.

"Do you come here often?" He asked her.

In the heat and aroma of the coffee, she felt comfortable and comfortable.

She replied to him in a relaxed tone, "Yes, I used to come often." I used to work there. ”

She pointed through the window to the Yangzhi Building at the other end of the square.

"Xu's affiliated enterprises?" He asked, "What is the position?" ”

"The head of the general manager's secretary's office." She smiled a little, "It's been four years." ”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, for some reason Fang Xiao felt that he looked like a gunner aiming at the target, and he said, "I really can't see that you are an iron lady with three heads and six arms." ”

She smiled dumbly and asked, "What?" I don't look like someone who has ever held such a high position? ”

"You're not like that." Leaning forward slightly, he said, "You're too quiet, too untouched." ”

Fang Xiao said: "It's over." ”

She asked him, "How many years have you been in the United States?" ”

"How do you know I've just returned from the United States?" He asked, raising his eyebrows in confusion.

She laughed and told him, "You have an American smell of you." ”

"Really?" He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I thought I was the only one who lived in New York for twenty years without being influenced by that city in the slightest." ”

"Twenty years." She took a deep breath, "That's long enough. ”

"Yes, long enough."

His gaze moved into the distance, Fang Xiao followed his gaze, and it was the Yangzhi Mansion that he was staring at.

So she told him: "It was inaugurated five years ago, and it was a sensation at the time, and it was called the tallest building in the city. ”

"When I had just joined the Hsu family and the headquarters moved into this building, I stood in the square downstairs and looked up at the window of my office for a long time, excited. ”

"Yes, it's easy to be excited when you're young, not to mention Shang Yun's designs have always been exciting."

She didn't quite understand: "What? ”

"This building is the proud work of the famous architect Shang Yun. I've always liked his style: elegant, noble, sophisticated, and absolutely obscuring the vulgarity of wealth. ”

She listened to his slightly mocking tone, watched him dust his cigarette dust, and said casually, "Did I know you before?" ”

He raised his eyebrows again: "Really? ”

She thought for a moment and shook her head: "But I can't think of anywhere else I've seen you other than the flower shop, it's strange." ”

He snuffed out his cigarette: "Really? ”

"It's this tone, it's very similar, but ......," she tapped her head, "I just can't remember." It's terrible! ”

He looked at her with a smile, and the smile was quite meaningful, and at this time, a man about thirty years old, dressed in a neat suit, came over with a briefcase and said to him, "Mr. Chu, everything is ready." ”

This rare surname pricked Lomé's heart like a needle.

He had already stood up and said to her, "I have to go first, and I am smiling at the mundane." ”

She smiled and nodded.

In the evening, I went home for dinner and helped my father wash the dishes in the kitchen. Just listen to the voice of the news reporter on TV: "Xu's affiliated companies announced a special meeting of the board of directors this afternoon, and then the public relations department of Xu's affiliated enterprises announced a surprising news: the board of directors will add an executive director, Mr. Chu Mingrui. This is the first time that a non-family member has been appointed as an executive director since the establishment of a Hui's affiliated company......

Fang Xiao wiped the bowl clean and put it on the bowl rack.

Fang Feng asked, "Luomei, how is the store recently?" ”

"Don't be busy, Xiaoyun is very good at helping." Fang Xiao wiped the bowls one by one, "Dad, don't worry." ”

"Let's go out and have fun, then." Fang Feng said, "You have a bad face recently, going out for a walk, changing the environment is good for the body." ”

"Really?" Fang Xiao wiped the last bowl dry and walked to his room to look in the mirror. The man in the mirror is pale, emaciated, and emaciated.

She patted her face and said to herself, "It's a bit bad. He walked out and said to Fang Feng, "Dad, I'll accompany you to Beihai for a few days." ”

Fang Feng said: "You go to play alone, do you want to ask a friend?" What's the point of Daddy, a bad old man following you, don't you have any young friends? ”

Fang Xiao smiled: "Heh! Dad, so you're trying to sell me. ”

Fang Feng also smiled: "Who said my daughter needs to be sold?" However, Xiaoxiao, you are not small. In the past, you always said that you couldn't rest assured that you couldn't put on your clothes, so you didn't want to fall in love, but now that Yiyi is also married, you should also think about your own affairs. ”

Fang Xiao hurriedly smiled: "Dad, I never wanted to deliberately find someone to fall in love and get married, I think this is about fate, and I can't help it." ”

Fang Feng wanted to say something, but finally just sighed: "You kid." ”

"Okay, Dad, pack your bags, and we'll leave for Beitou early tomorrow morning. Don't overthink it. ”

Fang Feng saw that she was excited, and couldn't bear to brush her mind, so he went to pack up his clothes as he said.

North Sea, North Sea.

Hot springs in the North Sea, North Sea in the hot springs.

It's a bit unaccustomed to coming from a bustling city to a hot spring destination.

The father and daughter of the Fang family played happily in Beihai for three days before returning to the noisy city.

"Finally home." As soon as he entered the house, Fang Feng said, "This old bone is going to be scattered." ”

Fang Xiao was busy packing his luggage and sorting out his clothes.

At this moment, the phone rang, Fang Feng went to answer it, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm looking for you." ”

As soon as she took it, she had just "heyed" when she heard a very familiar voice with a faint anger in her tone: "Where have you been in the past three days?" ”

"Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?"

"You ......"

She said in a cold tone: "So, does it have anything to do with you where I went?" ”

He was breathing heavily on that end, obviously to the extreme, and she was deliberately silent for a long time.

Finally, when I watched my father go into the kitchen, he said coldly: "Do you still need me to remind you again, we should have a relationship?" ”

"No need." He said through gritted teeth, snapped, and the phone hung up.

Fang Xiao put down the earpiece.

Well, isn't that exactly what she wants? She sat limply on the couch.

Yes, she has always been strong, and she should be able to face all problems.

But...... Now she really wants to be a clumsy ostrich that can bury her head in the sand and ignore any reality.

The phone rang again.

She took a deep breath and picked it up.

It was still him, but his voice was as calm as water.

But how can someone who knows the other like her not know the turbulent waves after this calm?

He said, "Come to me." Otherwise, Yiyi and I will divorce. ”

"You can't threaten me."

"Well, you try."

She was silent.

The sound of his breathing came from the earpiece, each one steady, a little frighteningly smooth—like the sound of a clock on a time bomb, each ticking countdown.

Biting her lip, she finally said, "Okay, we'll talk when we meet." ”

Putting down the phone, he took off the jacket he had just hung up again, and walked into the kitchen while putting it on, "Dad, I'll go out for a while." ”

Fang Feng, who was busy chopping vegetables, turned around, looked at his daughter, and said, "Let's go out after eating." ”

"Nope." She kept her head down, "I'll be back in a moment." You will be ready to cook and wait for me, it won't be long. ”

Fang Feng was a little worried: "It's raining outside again." ”

Fang Xiao looked out the window: "Don't get in the way, drizzle." I'll be back in a moment. ”

Halfway through, the rain poured down, and she didn't drive or bring an umbrella.

After getting out of the taxi and into the apartment lobby, she was already drenched in just a few steps.

When I entered the elevator, I saw in the mirror that I was dripping water from head to toe, and I was very embarrassed.

took out the key to open the door, and as soon as Xu Shen saw her, he asked, "Why didn't you bring an umbrella?" ”

"I didn't think it would rain heavily."

The wet clothes were a little cold against her body, and she felt her lips tremble.

Xu Shen immediately went into the bathroom and took a dry bath towel to wrap her: "You are soaked, go take a bath, otherwise you will catch a cold." ”

"No, no. I'm just here to make it clear, I'll leave right away. ”

He looked at her gloomily: "You are so wet, I will never talk to you about anything." ”

"Okay." She compromised.

After all, she was here to negotiate with him, and she must not provoke him until then.
