【30.】

This time, the design fee was a lot, and the two-month salary I received at the café was enough for me to squander with the watermelon for a while.

The watermelon seems to be a little bigger than when I left. The clothes on his body have also changed a lot, I was surprised that Du Bin's vision was so good, and he only smiled when he heard it, but did not speak.

Maybe I'm not used to my compliments.

After I came back to Card, the branch of Cardtown called me, asking me to do some small designs or consult some questions. I got out of class that day and had to hand in the drawings that the company gave me the other day.

But I was surprised to see King.

He was sitting in his office, signing some kind of paperwork. I stopped and watched, and it was very pleasing to the eye. The front desk secretary next to him leaned over and said, "This is our boss, isn't it handsome?" ”

"Boss?"

"yes, yes...... The King of Card City, what a famous character. The company in Toronto is in his name, and he has many businesses in Calg, and this company is just one of his many investments. ”

I smiled: "Very powerful Oriental." ”

"And he's incredibly handsome."

As if sensing the gossip of the two of us, King looked up and looked outside, and I suddenly froze, feeling like I had nothing to hide.

He obviously didn't expect to meet me, so he was stunned for a moment, but immediately withdrew his gaze.

I handed in the drawings, said a few more things, and left after sitting in the company for less than half an hour. As soon as I went downstairs, I was stopped by someone.

"Miss Osie." A big man stopped me, "I'm Mr. King's bodyguard." ”

"Hello."

He didn't speak, just looked at me, and I knew it, sighed and followed him upstairs.

Pushing the door open, King was still sitting in his chair, flipping through my artwork in his hand.

"With all due respect, Mr. King, the way you invited me is really rude."

He looked up at me and smiled, "I'm not a gentleman in the first place. ”

I sat down: "Okay. What is the matter? ”

He raised the artwork in his hand: "You drew it?" ”

"Or else?"

"Well......" he looked again, then said, "You're so much better than I thought...... Liu Jia, you always surprise me. ”

I smiled, "Not an honor, but of course I'd be more happy to design these if you could pay me more." ”

"You don't have to work so hard."

King always said this to me, and I didn't understand why he was repeating it.

"King, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it." I shrugged, "My IQ is all for academic study." ”

He stood up, walked in front of me, bowed slightly, King's face was handsome, and he felt even more handsome when he looked at it so closely, I couldn't help but hold my breath and sigh that there were still people in the world who could be handsome like this.

Liu Jia...... I like you a lot. ”

When he said this, his eyes became very deep, and I couldn't see what emotions were in it, but I was shocked and speechless because of his unwarranted words.

After a long time, I seemed to come back to my senses and smiled awkwardly: "How many people do you like......"

He probably won't be incomprehensible in that case, right?

Sure enough, King raised an eyebrow: "My female companions are many...... But Liu Jia, you're different. ”

I stood up and distanced myself from him, "No, Mr. King, there's nothing special about me. It's your own conceit that's at work. With such conditions and status like yours, what kind of woman would you have? ”

Without waiting for him to answer me, I turned and left. As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, he suddenly stopped me.

"Are you rejecting me because of Little Watermelon's father?"

I took a deep breath: "Watermelon doesn't have a dad. ”

"Is it because you have someone in your heart?" Like a stubborn schoolboy, he struggled to ask the answer, "That's why you can't accept me?" ”

"Not really." I turned to him and looked him in the eye, "Mr. King, you're a very good person. For me, the emotional matter is only a matter of two people, you love me, and it has nothing to do with the third person. ”

He squinted at me, and for a moment I truly believed that this dandy-looking man was sincere in what he said to me.

But soon, he laughed: "Liu Jia, you are really different. ”

I smiled too, didn't say anything more, and turned away.

For a long time, I would think of King, who I thought was too mysterious to me, and all my opportunities in Card City seemed to be indissoluble with him.

In fact, people will always ask me if I regret that time abroad. Every time I hear something like this, I laugh and say nothing, and the real answer is only to Tao Hao.

"I don't really regret it, because it was there that I found myself and began to understand that I can't always rely on others to live. What a person can trust is still himself after all. Don't rely on others, especially as a woman, what can make you proud is not how beautiful the clothes you are, not how good the men around you are, but your own health and talents. I've found myself, and I'm where I belong. ”

When the little watermelon is six or seven months old, it begins to say something. When he saw me go home that day, he clapped his hands and shouted "Mom", I was in a good mood, and after eating, he threatened and lured the little watermelon, but the child never said anything. The nanny proposed to take the children to the park to play, and I thought to myself that I was indeed too busy during this time to ignore the little watermelon for a long time, so I agreed.

Watermelon especially likes this nearby park, just watching from afar, he will wave his little fat hand, as if very excited.

He can now sit in the sand by himself, and Du Bin bought him a lot of toys. The watermelon was holding a shovel in one hand and a bucket in the other. He was playing, looked up at me, smiled and shouted, "Mom! ”

I was overjoyed and hurriedly hugged him: "Good baby, scream again." ”

"Dad—Dad!"

Very standard Chinese pronunciation, I even vaguely heard the taste of Beijing. I'm not sure if it's my own delusion.

The watermelon leaned softly on my arms and played with the toy in my hand, but I felt like I had been struck by lightning, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

When he went home, Du Bin hadn't come back yet. I asked the babysitter, "Isn't he at home during the day?" ”

The nanny nodded: "Sir seems to be very busy lately. ”

"Then how can he have time to take watermelons out to play?"

"I don't know...... the nanny tilted her head slightly, thinking about it, "Every day during the day, Mr. will go out to play with a watermelon for a while." It's just that he never wanted me to follow. ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I fiddled with the watermelon toy and shook my head unconsciously, "It's okay." After a tiring day, go and rest. ”

The nanny nodded, and accompanied me to clean up the watermelon things, and then went back to sleep in her own room.

I sat alone in the hall, with no lights on, and in the dark, I felt as if I was thinking about something, and as if I wasn't thinking about anything.
