I took the medicine in my hand, hesitated for a while, and then filled a cup of hot water in a thermos cup and placed it on the bedside table along with the stomach medicine.

I picked out a conservative nightdress, and after taking a shower, I took another quilt to the living room sofa. That's all for tonight.

I can't cry or laugh when I think about it, take in this man, and sleep on the sofa by myself, what is this? They have already parted ways, so why do they want to get entangled? is so resentful, why do you have to be soft-hearted again and again?

But the warmth of his embrace made me feel a little greedy. So many lonely nights, so many thoughts that were suppressed in the bottom of my heart, at this moment, like a mountain and a sea, flooded all my hesitations in an instant.

But reason reminds me of another layer, didn't Zhang Jingen say that he also knew that I was the granddaughter of the Luo family? Why is he still obsessed with me?

I know that Zhang Jingen is unpredictable, but the twists and turns make it impossible for me to find the source of the explanation.

In this way, in the midst of a multitude of thoughts, I was sometimes confused and sometimes awake, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

……

In a daze, I seemed to be picked up by a pair of big hands, I was shocked, I opened my eyes suddenly, and nodded the black stubble on Luo Jincheng's chin, and my brain suddenly cleared up. I was hugged by him and walked to the room step by step. His heart was beating so fast, but he forced himself to hold his breath and concentrate until he reached the door of the room, struggled to jump out of his arms, and hurriedly retreated.

"Stand still!" I shouted.

He paused, "Shu Hua." His eyes flashed with a sparkling light, but he hesitated and didn't step forward.

"You go back!"

"Today is a festival, I can't sleep alone, I don't know what to do, you can take me in." He was pitiful and pretty.

"Get out! Don't get an inch! I slowly stepped back into the door, retreated suddenly, and quickly closed the door with my hand, all in one go.

Leaning against the door, his body fell like quicksand little by little.

Immediately, I was shocked by a series of knocks on the door.

When the voice stopped, I heard him say in a deep voice: "Shuhua, you have a good rest, I'll go back first." ”

Then the sound of striding faded away, and then there was a soft "bang", and the whole room finally fell silent. My whole heart felt as if it had been hollowed out, and I didn't come back to my senses next to the door panel for a long time. I didn't cry, but I felt full of melancholy, and his sad and pitiful look lingered in my mind for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before I went back to bed numb. The sheets he had been lying on were a little wrinkled, and I lay down in them, where there seemed to be a familiar smell of his. I touched him gently, as if I could touch him, and I was so greedy at that moment.

……

The next day, I went to work refreshed, and as soon as I opened the buckle, Xiaoru's avatar kept flashing.

I smiled and clicked on it, only to be hit hard by the message: You know what? When I had breakfast in the morning, I heard that Zhang Dong and Luo were going to get engaged!

I felt a bang, and the blood rushed to my head all at once.

I asked with trembling hands: Who said that?

Xiaoru: Who else could there be? It's not the general manager's office. And also...... When Zhang Dong came, people asked her, and she confessed. However, it is said that the day is still picking.

My heart clenched so hard that my throat was so dry that I couldn't do it.

How can this be true?

If that's the case, then what's the point of coming to me last night? What is his proximity after I go back to City Y?

I suddenly sat on pins and needles, saw that Mr. Chen's buckle was lit up, and I couldn't sit still anymore, so I hurried over and closed the office door.

"Mr. Chen, they ...... Are they going to ...... Engaged? It turns out that the word "engagement" is so difficult for me to say.

Mr. Chen just sat down, took a sip of water from a water glass, and then raised his eyes to look at me: "What does their engagement have to do with your work?" ”

Suddenly, as if cold water had been poured on it, my Nunu mouth was hesitant: "I...... I heard about it in the morning and came over to make sure. ”

His palms were intertwined, and his small eyes were directed at me: "You can find me for confirmation at work, and you can find him yourself for confirmation in private matters, I really don't know." However, if this is true, it is not surprising, as early as when the Luo family appointed Zhang Jingen, they had long expected that there would be this day, haven't you been mentally prepared? Isn't it normal for the chairman to use his grandson's marriage to rejoice in such a body now? ”

At this moment, my whole heart was sunk to the deepest seabed.

Yes, although everyone flatters him and says that he will live a long life, but who doesn't know in his heart that he has almost survived to the end of his life, and he may not be able to see the sun tomorrow if he sleeps today.

The grandson is engaged to his favorite granddaughter-in-law, and as a grandfather, he has done his duty; As the founder of the company, he firmly leaned on the mountain of King K, and FK will be more smooth sailing in the future. Then his life will be complete.

But what about Luo Jincheng, is he willing to be at the mercy of others? He once said that others can't control his life, he has endured it for so long, is he also subservient at this moment?

I remembered the bet he made with me, remembered his high spirits, and suddenly realized that I was getting farther and farther away from this man.

Like a wilted leaf, I swayed back to the office, and my mind was dizzy for a moment.

But I couldn't do anything, it was an unprecedented confusion in the past three years.

In the afternoon, I held a report on the progress of the work of various brands, and before entering the conference room, I made a cup of coffee to refresh myself and keep myself awake enough.

The new product development and store renovation project of the franchised store are being carried out in an orderly manner, and it is expected that the store will be remodeled by the end of June. I tried my best to restrain the surging in my heart, focused on reporting, and went all the way.

Thinking that everything was fine, on the way out of the conference room, he was stopped by Zhang Jingen.

Her tone was leisurely and her expression was quite proud, "Shu Hua, let's talk." ”

I was just about to find a reason to refuse, but I heard Luo Jincheng behind me say coldly: "Vice President Nian came to my office." ”

My whole body was sullen, and my heart felt like a stone was blocked. When I got to his office, I stood up and asked, "What does Mr. Luo command?" ”

There was a faint cloud of melancholy in his eyebrows and eyes that could not be dissolved. Maybe I knew this man so well that I could fully interpret the slightest emotion on his face.

Seeing my resoluteness in refusing to sit down, he said directly: "I couldn't help but say it last night, but I didn't expect that before the eight characters were skimmed, she would spread it around." ”

He glanced at me deeply, "Grandpa just messed up the mandarin duck spectrum, I haven't agreed yet, I said that my biological mother has just been reburied this year, and it is not suitable for marriage because of customs." Grandpa didn't force it last night, and the matter was suppressed. ”

"But you're already a pair of the chairman, aren't you?" I couldn't help but ask, but I noticed that my voice trembled slightly.

"Sometimes I think it's ridiculous, why is there such a ridiculous thing in the 21st century that tries to arrange the marriage of children and grandchildren? But being in the middle of it, sometimes it's really involuntary. But Shu Hua, if everything is a commercial marriage, then he can't get rid of the end of the song when the business interests disappear. You have to trust me. His eyes were steady, full of perseverance and conviction.

I suddenly woke up, and instantly felt so funny, "Luo Jincheng, what does it have to do with me whether you have a business marriage?" What does it matter to me when your connection disappears? I'm just an employee of your Luo family, you don't have to promise me this, if there is nothing to do, then I'll go out first. ”

I turned around to leave, but was stopped by him: "Shu Hua......"

My heart jumped, and I heard him say sadly, "I'm sorry." ”

My tears suddenly and quietly slipped out, and I had a thousand thoughts in my heart, but I didn't know how to say it, and my feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, and I couldn't move for a long time.

He walked over quietly, and when I got closer, I seemed to sense something in advance, and suddenly took a step forward, turned around, and caught a glimpse of his wrapped hand in the air for a moment, and his face could not hide the gloom.

"Shuhua, I know that three years ago, I was sorry for you, but in the past three years, I have been thinking, thinking about our past, and thinking about our future. This feeling has always sunk in my heart. ”

My eyes had been misty, and his whole body seemed to be immersed in a pool of water, so trance-like and unreal, but when he said this, it was like a big rock being smashed into a lake with ripples, and the waves were splashing.

I looked at his red, desolate eyes, and my heart tightened again. He said our future. However, if this future is not discussed with me, what does it have to do with me? You suddenly changed your face without saying a word to drive me away, and then transferred me back without saying a word.

I suddenly became angry, and a current of air seemed to gush out, and I couldn't help but roar, "What do you think of me? You swing me around with a wave of your big hand. Do you use me as a marionette? You secretly take care of my mother, but let your brother keep his mouth shut. You hide everything from me, what am I yours? ”

I was so anxious that I couldn't get louder and louder, completely forgetting that it was his office. When the sound fell, the room was silent, as if they could hear each other's breathing.

In the end, it is still the state of office work, and I feel gaffe for a while, who knows if the sound insulation of this office is good.

He looked at me sadly with a frown, and a layer of sparkling water appeared in his deep eyes. "There are some things that you know as little as possible," he said. Shu Hua, to this day, don't you understand my mind? ”

I smiled with tears in my eyes: "If there is only hidden love in a relationship, then who is not tired of love?" I sniffed, "I still have a lot to do, so I won't talk about love with Mr. Luo." ”

Without waiting for him to respond, I immediately turned around and opened the door, walked out of his office with tears on my face, and quickly wiped away the tears when no one was around, and then went to the bathroom on another non-company floor.

Leaning against the cubicle, my eyes were teary-eyed, but my mind gradually cleared up, and suddenly some of the confusion in my mind was cleared. Luo Jincheng said that he wanted us to have a future, so he didn't know that we were cousins, or he knew that we were not cousins. With his thoughtfulness, I think the latter is more likely, so what is the reason for the chairman's care for me?

The next compartment flushed with a bang, instantly flushing my brain. Could it be, Luo Jincheng is not the chairman's grandson?
