Chapter 1 Returning to the Place
Five years later, City B International Airport.
Wen Ning took his luggage, and at the moment he stepped out of the airport, he took a long breath, and his originally nervous heart suddenly settled down for a moment at this moment.
It's been five years, and she's finally home. She realized how much she hated the city when she left, and how much she misses it now.
The taxi driver was gathered outside the airport, and when he saw Wen Ning walking out with his luggage, they all quickly surrounded him like a cat that had seen a fish.
If it was the same as before, Wen Ning might have frowned in disgust and then avoided it, but now, after living abroad for five years, she felt that these black-haired, yellow-skinned people who spoke Mandarin and had a hometown accent were particularly kind.
politely rejected the taxi drivers, Wen Ning's mobile phone rang, she took it out of her bag, it was the driver of the family who called.
Wen Ning thought he had arrived, but he stretched his neck and looked around, but he didn't find his car, so he couldn't help frowning, pressed the answer button and pulled the suitcase towards the place where there were few people.
"Hey, Uncle Zhao, have you arrived?"
There was a noise on the phone, and then Uncle Zhao's uneasy and apologetic voice sounded: "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm still on the road now, there is a traffic jam here in the Fifth Ring Road." I might be a little late, so if you're tired of waiting, why don't you go to the airport for a coffee and sit down? ”
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, and reacted: "That's it, okay, I'll go sit for a while, you don't have to worry, anyway, I've already gotten off the plane, it's okay, you have to pay attention to safety." ”
The sound of honking on the other end of the phone sounded with Uncle Zhao's words, Wen Ning actually didn't hear it clearly, reached out and tightened his collar, and answered casually. I hung up the phone, pulled my luggage and walked back to the airport hall.
Maybe it was just in time for the assumption day in China, there were a lot of people in the airport, Wen Ning couldn't find an idle seat after looking for a long time, standing aimlessly in the airport hall for a while, and the soreness in her legs reminded her that standing and waiting was not a good choice.
In desperation, she had no choice but to walk into the Starbucks set up in the airport and order a drink casually. In fact, she didn't want to come in, in the five years abroad, the most difficult period was to work in a coffee shop, which led to the painful stage when she smelled the coffee now, and gradually rejected the coffee shop.
But it can't be helped, her legs are really squeamish. After sitting for a while, she was a little bored, took out her mobile phone from her bag, flipped it twice, but she really didn't know what to do, and her eyes were empty. He looked stupid and tired.
I don't know how long it took, but she was a little sleepy. I heard someone behind her hesitating and whispered to her, "Excuse me, is it Miss Wen?" “
Wen Ning came back to her senses, turned her head to look at the source of the sound, and saw a familiar beautiful face, still carrying two cups of coffee in her hand, looking at her in surprise.
At that moment, Wen Ning only felt a little stiff all over, the knuckles holding the mobile phone gradually tightened, and his throat was dry and speechless.
However, the other party didn't notice her subtle emotions, and was still full of surprise: "It's really you, Miss Wen, I was still doubting my eyes just now, but I didn't expect it to be you, this is really unexpected." ”
Wen Ning forced herself to pull a shallow smile, ignoring the surprise in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Long time no see, Secretary Lin." ”
It's been five years, Wen Ning thought that she could calmly face those old people who were linked to Xu Jiangcheng, however, she obviously overestimated herself, looking at Lin Qing in front of her, she still felt that it was difficult to breathe.
"It's been a long time since we did. It's been five years. Lin Qing's eyes fell on Wen Ning, and seeing that her expression did not fluctuate, he asked hesitantly: "All these years, have you been doing well?" ”
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, his fingers casually swiped over the coffee cup, and nodded: "It's okay." ”
Lin Qing originally wanted to ask her where she had been all these years, but when the words came to her lips and she swallowed them back, there was only one sentence left without meaning: "That's good." ”
Maybe because of nervousness, Wen Ning couldn't think of anything at all, the previous friendship between the two was only to establish that Lin Qing was Xu Jiangcheng's personal secretary, and if Xu Jiangcheng was stripped away, she and Lin Qing were just strangers.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Ning felt a little embarrassed, turned sideways, stretched out his hand to sort out the backpack on the side, and said, "Secretary Lin is really sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, if I have a chance." We'll talk another day. I'm not going to be leaving anytime soon. ”
Lin Qing responded, but looking at her action of packing up her things, she didn't hold back after all, and said, "Miss Wen...... In fact, Mr. Xu ...... Also at the airport, don't you want to meet him? ”
Wen Ning's action of taking the bag stopped, but soon continued to tidy up as if nothing happened, but as soon as she spoke, the coldness in her voice was uncomfortable, and she said: "I don't want to, and there is no need to have a special opinion." ”
Lin Qing was stunned, although she didn't know what happened back then, she also knew that Wen Ning's love for Xu Jiangcheng's character was miserable, if she hadn't been completely injured, she would never have left quietly.
It's just that Xu Jiangcheng is her top boss after all, when Wen Ning left, Lin Qing also saw Xu Jiangcheng's state.
After thinking about it, she still opened her mouth: "But, Miss Wen, over the years, Mr. Xu has ...... It's not a good time, he's been trying to find your ......"
"I'm sorry." Wen Ning stood up, bypassed her, paused again, and looked back at her: "I don't want to know this, and I hope Secretary Lin doesn't have to take the things that have seen me to heart, I just go home to see my parents, I won't stay in the country for too long, and I don't want any unnecessary trouble." Please. ”
Lin Qing looked at her back and wanted to say something, but he still held back, and in the end he just said "En".
Wen Ning came out of Starbucks, only to find that her palms were full of sweat, looking at the people coming and going in the airport, she took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and then dragged her suitcase and walked towards the outside of the hall. However, after only a few steps, she could no longer take her own steps.
