Chapter 123: Holding an Umbrella for You (1st Update)
Su Xiaoran hung up the phone, then raised her eyes, looked at Ji Ren, and said calmly, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, can't I look for you?" Ji Ren's eyes were deep with disappointment, he looked around and asked, "Do you want to go to supper together?" Don't get me wrong, I won't put pressure on you, and you don't have to rush to reply to me, I just hope you don't rush to reject me, Su Xiaoran, it's the best surprise that we can meet each other, isn't it? ”
Accidentally......
Su Xiaoran pursed her lips and smiled faintly, she knew too well the significance of the word accident, and she also understood that she and Ji Ren, no matter how good they used to be, but because time had diluted, it was impossible to go back to the past.
"Let's just leave it at that, we don't have to deliberately connect, we just need to know that each other is okay, what do you think? Okay, it's late, I want to rest, you go back! ”
Su Xiaoran wanted to walk into the hotel, but her arm was grabbed by Ji Ren, she glanced around, afraid that such a picture would be seen by others, so she broke free of Ji Ren's hand very nervously, "Ji Ren, if you do this again, we really can't even be ordinary friends." ”
Ji Ren was frightened away by Su Xiaoran's cold gaze, although he was unwilling, he still slowly moved his hand and slid down Su Xiaoran's arm.
"Tell me when you go back."
Ji Ren turned around and left, Su Xiaoran didn't follow him with his eyes, but walked straight into the hotel. As soon as Su Xiaoran's figure disappeared at the door of the hotel, Ji Ren got into the car parked on the side of the road in a blink of an eye.
"I didn't expect you to be so infatuated." Charlene turned her head with a smile of admiration. Ji Ren had no intention of laughing, Su Xiaoran's indifferent attitude was a thorn in the face to him, making him feel a faint pain.
"Just take what you need, I only have one request, don't hurt her."
"How so? Don't forget, our goal is the same, it's just to get her to leave Chu Feng. ”
……
Back in the room, Su Xiaoran pulled up the curtains, and a few minutes later, she couldn't help but open the curtains again, and looked down: the road was empty, Ji Ren had left, this is what she wanted to see, she and Ji Ren were destined to never cross paths again.
The mobile phone rang again, it was Chenxi calling, Su Xiaoran sat down, leaning against the white wall with her back, and her voice was weak: "What's wrong?" ”
"Where are you?"
"Don't you already know?"
Su Xiaoran lowered her head and looked at her nails, she guessed that Chenxi must have known about her business trip in Y City, otherwise he would not have called her in such a hurry.
However, as long as she thought of his cold tone last night, she couldn't let go of it, so she gambled with him.
"Are you okay? Is everything okay? Do you want me to tell you to come back tomorrow? ”
"No need, everything is fine with me here, Chairman Bulaochen bothered, if there is nothing wrong, I will hang up first."
Su Xiaoran said nothing, so Chen Xi had no choice but to purse his lips and not say anything. A phone call of concern broke up unhappily, Su Xiaoran knew that she had a lot of vexatious elements in it, but she really minded, mind that Chenxi always didn't understand anything about herself.
……
This night is destined to be a sleepless night. Chen Xi had been busy in the study until the second half of the night, and he still didn't feel sleepy, he simply got up, took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, and drank it to Mingyue outside the window alone.
In his ears, the words that the mother of flowers said were still echoing: Su Xiaoran and Huayan must keep their distance.
At first, he didn't understand her attitude, but later, when he learned the secret, he decided to hide it forever, just like the Flower Mother.
The more he knew, the more it hurt Su Xiaoran, and he couldn't watch her get hurt.
In the past few days, he has traveled all over the major places, contacting the contacts he can contact, the purpose is to consolidate the position of the Chen family in the company, he has no intention of fighting, but these are half of the country that his parents have worked hard for, as a son, how can he watch them being taken away by others?
The most helpless thing in life is this, always pushed forward by the current situation.
Qiao Jiang's side, Chen Xi has been secretly watching, he knows Qiao Jiang's personality, and he knows that he will not let go of himself so easily, Qiao Xiaoyan has come to the company frequently these days, and Chen Xi didn't pay much attention to it, but since he knew that Su Xiaoran was sent to Y City on a business trip, he understood that at present, protecting Su Xiaoran and saving the company are no longer two separate things, but closely related.
At sunrise, Chenxi received an anonymous email in his mailbox, with only a photo on it, although it was night, it was a little blurry, but he still saw clearly that it was Su Xiaoran, she was standing at the door of the hotel, and on the side, it was Ji Ren who was reaching out to pull her.
Chenxi closed his eyes, leaned his head back on the chair, and was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes again and gently tapped his fingers on the table.
After a long time, he made up his mind, and immediately got up and headed for Y City.
On the second day of the business trip, Su Xiaoran was not treated as well as yesterday. Yesterday, Charlene finally came forward to greet her, but today, she only received a call from Charlene's secretary Xiao Zhang, telling her to get up and go to Chu Feng immediately, but when Su Xiaoran came to Chu Feng Group, she found that no one had time to pay attention to her at all.
Everyone was busy, but she was the only one standing in the aisle stupidly, not knowing what to do.
"Excuse me!"
Just thinking about it, a person came over with a large pile of information, and before Su Xiaoran could move away, the two of them collided impartially, and in an instant, a large pile of information fell to the ground with a bang, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"I'm sorry."
Su Xiaoran hurriedly squatted down and helped pick up the materials. She paid attention to the other party's expression and apologized frequently, but the other party didn't accept it at all, and still pulled a face, which was very ugly.
"Please stand where you should stand, don't delay other people's work."
After speaking, he walked away with the information, Su Xiaoran couldn't stand the lively eyes around him, so he had to walk out of Chu Feng's door depressedly, looking at the still sunny weather helplessly.
It seems that there is nothing to do today, this business trip, she is so embarrassed, if it is just like this, it is fine, but the key is that she has to write a summary after she goes back, if she has not even seen the product, how to write an explanation?
Difficult.
Su Xiaoran felt that she had nothing to do, so she went to a nearby shopping mall to buy gifts, so she went on a business trip, and she definitely wanted to bring gifts to her parents and Qiqi when she went back.
The gifts of her parents are easy to buy, and Su Xiaoran casually bought some local supplements to solve the problem, but Qiqi's gifts are difficult. Qiqi has not lacked anything since she was a child, every time she had a birthday in the past, it was Su Xiaoran's biggest headache, just the birthday gifts she chose for her were nerve-wracking, and she didn't necessarily like the expensive ones she bought, and nagged that Su Xiaoran had no taste.
Difficult to serve the Lord!
Su Xiaoran thought about it while taking a walk, she remembered the last time she happened to hear Qiqi say that she had recently become obsessed with One Piece, Su Xiaoran thought about buying her a model, right? I really can't do it, so can the poster.
Walking to the store, Su Xiaoran was busy looking for Luffy's model, but when she passed by the window, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the notebook on the side.
It was a notebook with a black cover, and the pattern on it was very beautiful, it was a fiery phoenix flying into the sky. Su Xiaoran remembered that Chenxi had a habit that he would make a record of what he had to do every day, which was equivalent to a schedule.
Do you want to buy it for him? Su Xiaoran hesitated, she was thinking about him in her heart, but she didn't want to bow her head first like this every time, so she was very distressed.
"Miss, do you want this? If not, I'll ask for it. ”
It was a customer's voice, and he also took a fancy to this notebook, Su Xiaoran's mind quickly spun around, and then he pulled it up: "I want it." ”
With the purchased gifts, when she walked out of the mall, Su Xiaoran called Xia Lin. She said that if she couldn't inspect the product tomorrow, she would have to go back, and when Xia Lin heard it, she immediately apologized to her, saying that the past two days were too busy, and asked her to wait two more days, and said that she had already said hello to Wang Wei.
Su Xiaoran was lost, it was obvious that Xia Lin was trying to suppress her with Wang Wei, there was no way, just wait one more day!
Su Xiaoran walked back to the hotel, and when there were still a few hundred meters away from the hotel, the sky suddenly changed, and layers of black clouds pressed down, followed by a torrential downpour, and there was no time to hide from the rain, Su Xiaoran put the gift into his arms, and ran all the way to look in the direction of the hotel.
Maybe she ran too fast, so that she didn't notice that the road under her feet was uneven, and without paying attention, her body leaned forward, and before she could react, Su Xiaoran's whole body fell heavily to the ground.
The water splashed, her body was soaked, and she didn't have time to feel the pain in her body, Su Xiaoran opened the bag that wrapped the gift and saw that the gifts were all soaked in water, and the notebook was also wet.
The feeling of being discouraged is really not going well.
Su Xiaoran struggled to stand up, but suddenly felt that the rain above her head suddenly stopped, she looked up and saw Ji Ren who raised his hand to hold an umbrella for herself.
Ji Ren, just like this, stood in front of her, like the book that fell from her head five years ago, and five years later, he appeared again when she was in danger, warm as ever.
"Thank you."
Su Xiaoran said softly, looking down, her pants were worn out, and there was a hot pain in her knee from the wound being wet by the rain, she couldn't help but sigh, and Ji Ren approached her nervously: "Are you okay?" Do you want to go to the hospital? ”
"No" As soon as Su Xiaoran spit out a word of no, he saw that behind Ji Ren, Chen Xi was standing there upright, and he was also holding a black umbrella in his hand, but he was a step late, and he was preempted by Ji Ren before he could step forward.
Perhaps noticing Su Xiaoran's surprised expression, Ji Ren also glanced back, only to see that in the pouring rain, Chenxi's indifferent gaze made people feel even colder.
