Chapter 114: You're Not a Ruthless Man
Before I walked out of the room, Xu Zhizhou saw that I was in a hurry, and immediately asked worriedly, "Where are you going?" β
I looked at him in a daze, a little dazed about my own approach, if he knew, would he scold me for being unproductive?
But I just didn't want anything to happen to anyone, so I touched my ear with a dodgy look and replied, "I didn't want to go anywhere, I held it for a day and a night, and went out for a walk." β
Xu Zhizhou didn't ask much, only said that he didn't worry about me alone and wanted to go out with me.
"The nearby Shanghai Finance University has opened a new fourth canteen open to the outside world, with a good reputation, some friends have eaten it, I will take you to try it." Xu Zhizhou's voice exuded tenderness.
I really slapped my face with this lie, but I just bit my lip tightly and said no, I just want to give myself some space.
I didn't give Xu Zhizhou a chance to continue talking to me, and I had already trotted out of here with my bag.
There is no taxi after waiting on the side of the road for a long time, and the traffic here is not as convenient as the southern suburbs, and you have to walk down the hill to get a taxi.
So I walked hurriedly all the way, and Xu Zhizhou quickly drove the car to catch up from behind and stopped directly in front of me.
He didn't say a word and pulled me into the car.
After the car restarted, he just glanced at me, drove out and said: "Where are you going, I'll send you there, we are two independent individuals, I won't ask you who you want to meet, but don't put everything in your heart, it will be very depressing." β
I pursed my lips, just looked at his gradually reddening eyes and continued to look straight ahead and said: "I have always wanted to stay by your side as a boyfriend for so many years, but you didn't give me a chance, and now the opportunity may be in front of me, maybe I will agree if I chase after me, but I don't want to force you, I really want to wait until you are willing to accept my feelings, as for me always saying in front of you that you are the future Mrs. Xu, I just want to find comfort for myself." β
Xu Zhizhou's words were a little sad and made me feel like a bad person.
But at this moment, I am speechless, not speechless in the face of him, but I don't know how to face him in order to make myself feel less guilty.
After all, I owe him so much that I may never be able to pay it back in my life.
Xu felt my emotions, and while he was waiting for the red light, he leaned into my ear and said to me: "Do you know how unwilling I am to watch you secretly hurt for other men, but who told me to be the same person as you, and maybe even inferior to you, so I surrendered, and said, where is the destination, the sky is getting darker and darker, I have to act as not only a driver, but also a bodyguard." β
Xu Zhizhou drove the car, and his mouth was pursed, wanting to think that he didn't know anything, but he never thought that he had seen me thoroughly.
So I squeezed my phone hard, bit my lip, and turned my head to the other side before I could speak, not daring to look at him.
"Southern Suburbs Villa."
Almost at the same time as my words fell, Xu Zhizhou's hand slipped while holding the steering wheel, and even the car trembled.
Although Xu Zhizhou quickly controlled the direction, I still saw a complicated expression on his face.
I really wanted to explain to him the purpose of going to the villa in the southern suburbs this time, but I lingered for a long time and couldn't find a suitable reason, thinking about it a lot, each of which made me feel too fake, so I had to sigh and lean on the seat.
Xu Zhizhou, who was still driving, suddenly asked me: "Li En, I have known you since I was a child, we have known each other for so many years, we know you quite well, I also know what kind of person you are, you are not a ruthless person, no matter who hurts you, you can be gentle, but I still hope you can protect yourself." β
I looked at him, almost a little stunned, how could this man know me so well, I hadn't been able to respond to him yet, and after a pause he continued: "Do you know what I like most about you? You always keep smiling when you're hurt and don't complain about anyone, so naturally I don't want you to become egoless, I'll send you there, I'll be waiting for you outside, rest assured, no matter what happens, I won't let you go. β
Xu Zhizhou's words make my heart flutter, his words can always warm my heart, and every sentence can hit the bottom of my heart.
I really don't hate anyone, even if my parents abandoned me a long time ago, and when I saw them again, wouldn't I still be able to let go of them?
So for Tan Yiyang, I probably won't hate him too much, and I don't want to see anything happen to the man I once loved, but the hurt heart really can't be recovered, so I told myself that after today, I will really have to cut it in two.
Just when I was deep in thought, Xu Zhizhou stopped the car steadily, and what appeared in front of me was the familiar villa area in the southern suburbs.
I glanced at him, but he unlocked the car door, then sighed and said, "I don't really want to see you enter his house, so I just stopped at the gate of the villa area, hurry down." β
I'm not the kind of person who twists and turns, and I always like to do things neatly, but I'm unusually hesitant to face this matter.
Xu thought that I was a bit of a mother-in-law, and he turned up the music in the car loudly, almost at a deear-to-ear volume, although it was a very tender Cantonese song, but it still pierced my eardrums, and I had to get out of the car and walk to the villa that was too familiar.
I didn't have the key here, so I stood at the doorway for a long time, and finally rang the doorbell with my nervous hands.
I pressed it for a long time, about five or six minutes, but no one opened the door, just when I thought Tan Yiyang was not in the villa and wanted to leave, the smart access control at the door asked for a six-digit password, and I was shocked to realize that I didn't know this password in the past seven years.
It's ridiculous that I've always been treated as an outsider, but at this moment, because I heard the strange movement on the phone, I came here completely in disregard, and it really seemed so cheap.
After trying a few times, it prompted that the password was wrong, so I was a little discouraged, and I don't know how to enter my date of birth by magic, and the door suddenly opened...
It was actually my birthday, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
When I entered, the room was still not much different from the last time I left, and because the house was so big, it was too quiet inside.
The living room was empty, not even the bathroom and bedroom, I laughed at myself, I didn't know where he was now, so I ran here desperately, Lane, you really deserve to be hurt.
Just as I turned around to leave, I happened to catch a glimpse of the study, a crack in the door was slightly open, I subconsciously walked in the direction of the study, and finally pushed the door open and walked in.
The moment I pushed the door open, a strong smell of smoke hit my nose, and I couldn't help but wave my arm a few times and cough twice.
I saw Tan Yiyang sitting in the smoke, with half a cigarette between his fingertips, and a little white ash was faintly falling on the ground.
And mixed with the smell of smoke and the smell of alcohol, he leaned on the sofa with his back to me, and when he saw the scene in the study, I couldn't help frowning and whispered: "Mr. Tan? β
Just as I shouted, I saw that the cigarette burned out, and when the white ash touched his finger, he didn't move, my heart immediately startled, and out of worry, I walked over anyway, took the remaining cigarette butts from his fingertips and threw them into the trash.
After doing this, I turned around, and saw Tan Yiyang looking at me, his eyes were no different from before, they were still deep as if they could suck me away, the difference was that he was not wearing a delicate and neat suit, but instead a casual loungewear, which made people look a lot haggard.
"Looking for me?" He sat up straight, still in a cold tone, and asked me.
It wasn't until he sat up straight that I noticed that there were several bottles of wine lying at his feet, staggered to and from side to side, and that there was a half-drunk bottle on the desk.
To break the embarrassment, I thought about it and responded, "Actually... It's a bit of a thing, but looking at your appearance, it's not suitable for talking, so you better rest first, and I'll call you tomorrow. β
I turned around, and before I could open the doorknob, I heard the sound of the bottle "popping" and shattering.
I looked at him intently, and the bottle he was holding in his other hand fell to the ground, filling the study with the smell of alcohol.
Seeing that his face was crimson, but the red stained by alcohol was different, and his voice was a little hoarse, I was really worried that he was sick.
I really couldn't help but raise my feet and go back, and directly reached out and touched his forehead, sure enough, it was very hot, in my opinion, it was extremely hot.
"You have a fever, it should be very bad, isn't your fiancΓ©e there? What about Sister-in-law Lin? "Somewhat worried, I found a cup and wanted to pour him some water to drink.
But my enthusiasm was suddenly swept away by his ruthlessness, and I only heard his faint voice say: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it." β
β¦β¦
Why is this person so ignorant of good people, if he wasn't worried about Tan Luoxi before he called him, he would have loved it, and he could have a woolen relationship with me?
I didn't care about the previous grievances and hatreds to see if he was okay, but he poured such a basin of cold water, and the nameless fire in my heart also jumped up all of a sudden, but I was not very good at hysteria, so I had to try to suppress the fire, and said calmly: "Mr. Tan, you are burned like this, I suggest you still call your fiancΓ©e and ask her to take care of you, and there is a big man who smokes and drinks at home like this, and he is not too young, and his body is still the capital of the revolution, I'd better take care of myself in the future, if I have a boyfriend, it won't be convenient to appear like this in the future. β
I think what I said was normal, but I don't know which sentence touched this man's bottom line, and his still somewhat drunk and confused face instantly dropped to freezing, and it was so cold.
