Chapter 70: I Know Better Than You
What Su Xiaoran didn't expect was that the fun place that Chenxi said was actually his home.
When Chen Xi took Su Xiaoran's hand back to her nest, Su Xiaoran had a feeling of being deceived, she pursed her mouth and yelled at Chen Xi: "Are you so deceitful? ”
"When did I lie to you?"
"It's obviously a fun place, so I'm looking forward to it in vain!"
"You'll find out later." Chen Xi bit the root of Su Xiaoran's ear and whispered, Su Xiaoran turned her head, her face flushed. Chen Xi asked her to sit in the living room and wait, Su Xiaoran sat down and looked around.
This is the second time she has been here, and it is no different from the last time, it is still so clean and tidy. Su Xiaoran leaned on the soft and comfortable sofa and closed her eyes unconsciously.
"Hey?"
In a daze, Su Xiaoran heard Chenxi's voice, she opened her eyes and saw Chenxi's deep eyes.
"Are you tired?"
"Excuse me, haven't I slept for a long time?" Su Xiaoran got up in a panic, but Chenxi hugged her: "If you're tired, go to sleep!" ”
"But...... Didn't you say there was something fun to show me? ”
"I'll see later."
Chen Xi hugged Su Xiaoran to the bed without saying a word, Chen Xi's bed was very soft and had a faint fragrance.
"I've slept well, I want to see something fun."
"Don't be too greedy. Sleep, I still have work to do. Chen Xi flicked the tip of Su Xiaoran's nose with his fingers, covered her with a quilt, and turned around to leave.
"Tatsuki." Su Xiaoran took his hand and refused to let go.
"What's wrong?"
"Thank you."
Chen Xi smiled lightly, leaned down and kissed Su Xiaoran lightly on the forehead. "Sleep obediently, don't mess around."
After Su Xiaoran fell asleep, Chen Xi turned off the bedside light, and then went to the study.
After sitting alone for a while, he opened the drawer, took out a photo album from it, and flipped to the last page.
The photo has been yellowed, but the smile on it seems to be from yesterday. A splendid boy with an unruly gaze......
After so many years, if it weren't for Su Xiaoran's parents mentioning it today, he would have thought that he would have forgotten that incident and forgotten them.
Don't want to see it.
Chenxi threw the photo back, found a box of cigarettes in the pile of papers on the table, took out one and smoked it.
The next day.
Su Xiaoran was woken up early in the morning, Chen Xi had already prepared breakfast, Su Xiaoran stretched, was dragged by Chen Xi to sit at the dining table, looked at the bread and milk on the table, and smiled: "You made it?" ”
"Hurry up, I'm going to be late for work."
"Going to work?" Su Xiaoran remembered that today was Monday, and she shouted: "Suffer, my luggage is still at home!" ”
"It's okay, there's no important work today, you just go like this."
Chenxi lowered his head to eat, and Su Xiaoran swallowed: "I...... Take your car? ”
"Or else?"
"It's not good, it's going to be seen by others."
"Don't talk nonsense, eat quickly." Chenxi stuffed a piece of bread into Su Xiaoran's mouth to stop her from speaking.
When she was about to go to the company, Su Xiaoran asked Chenxi to put her down, but Chenxi refused, so Su Xiaoran had to wait for Chenxi to park the car before coming down.
As soon as I got out of the car, I met Qiao Xiaoyan.
Qiao Xiaoyan had just stepped off her Porsche, and a scent of Chanel permeated, Qiao Xiaoyan was particularly surprised, but after all, she was a woman who had experienced strong winds and waves, so she tried to keep her face calm.
"Morning!"
Qiao Xiaoyan walked over on high heels. Su Xiaoran nodded and said hello, Chenxi got out of the car, and Qiao Xiaoyan immediately shouted when he saw him:
"Chenxi, why are you injured?"
"It's fine, it's just a bruise." Chen Xi subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth and said.
"No, did you go to the hospital? What the hell is going on? ”
Qiao Xiaoyan's reaction was too unusual, Su Xiaoran was stunned, she didn't seem to be as flustered as Qiao Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoran, you say, what's going on? How could he get hurt when he's so good? ”
Qiao Xiaoyan's eyes were too sharp, Su Xiaoran didn't know whether to answer as a girlfriend or as a subordinate, she looked at Chenxi, Chenxi's eyes were not to say.
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Chenxi: He's with you all day, how can you not know? ”
"Little Rock! This has nothing to do with Xiaoran, don't embarrass her! ”
"I didn't embarrass her."
Qiao Xiaoyan realized that she had overreacted, she sniffed and walked in first.
"She's making too much fuss, don't care."
Su Xiaoran, who was comforted by Chenxi, felt very uncomfortable, Qiao Xiaoyan's behavior was reminding her: As long as Chenxi is with her, then she must be responsible for all his things.
Although this incident was indeed caused by her, she still couldn't see Qiao Xiaoyan being so attentive to Chenxi, and even compared to her girlfriend.
"What are you doing? Let's get in, right? ”
Su Xiaoran followed behind Chenxi, and the two kept a certain distance, and walked into the translation department one after the other.
Su Xiaoran returned to her seat, and before she could sit down, she received a call from Qiqi's mother.
Su Xiaoran thought to herself that they must not be able to find Qiqi, so she called her to ask.
To pick up or not to answer, you have to face it. Su Xiaoran answered the phone and heard Qiqi's mother's sharp voice.
"Xiaoran, tell me honestly, where is Qiqi?"
"Auntie, I'm at work now, I really don't know where Qiqi is."
"You don't know? Xiaoran, it's not that my aunt said you, we don't blame you for the Qiqi incident, right? You live together, why don't you tell us that something so big happened to her? If you still hide it from us for her now, then Auntie will be angry? ”
Qiqi's mother's tone was very bad, and Su Xiaoran also understood her temper.
Dilemma, Su Xiaoran believes in Qiqi and is willing to take this risk for Qiqi.
"Auntie, I really don't know, don't talk about it, I'm at work."
Su Xiaoran tried her best to keep her voice low, but she was still heard by Lia who was passing by.
"Yo, Su Xiaoran, are you playing again? You can, you never take it seriously at work, is it because someone supports you? ”
Lia's voice was not small, and several people around her heard it. Su Xiaoran put down the phone: "There is an urgent matter at home, I will work right now." ”
"No need, Vice President Qiao is looking for you. Su Xiaoran, I see that Vice President Qiao's face is not good-looking, have you offended her? Don't blame me for not reminding you, I'm afraid you're going to be lucky this time. ”
Su Xiaoran expected Qiao Xiaoyan to look for her, but she didn't expect to be so eager. It seems that she cares a lot about Chenxi's injury.
When he came to the door of Qiao Xiaoyan's office, Su Xiaoran just wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't expect Qiao Xiaoyan to say directly: "Come in!" ”
"Vice President Qiao, are you looking for me?"
Su Xiaoran stood with her hands in front of her.
Qiao Xiaoyan raised his head with a solemn expression: "Yes, I'm looking for you." Say, what's going on with Chenxi's injury? ”
"If you don't speak, it means that it has something to do with you?" Qiao Xiaoyan got up from his seat and walked in front of Su Xiaoran.
"Su Xiaoran, what did you pour into Chenxi, he wants to defend you like this?"
"We're just in a normal relationship."
"Normal?" Qiao Xiaoyan actually smiled, she shook her head and looked at Su Xiaoran with pity: "Su Xiaoran, I said that in Chenxi's heart, no one can compare to Xiaomeng." I can't, and you can't. ”
"If you hate me so much? And why do you pretend to bless us? Su Xiaoran looked directly into Qiao Xiaoyan's eyes, but only saw hatred.
"I bless you, it's all about making Chenxi happy. Su Xiaoran, please don't treat Chenxi with self-righteousness in the future, Chenxi can't be hurt, not at all. ”
"Why?"
"Why? Just because you don't know him at all! ”
"Do you understand?"
"Even if I don't know him well, I know him better than you. Su Xiaoran, don't think that I don't know the relationship between you and your ex-boyfriend, if it's really good for Chenxi, you'd better cut off other thoughts! ”
Qiao Xiaoyan sat back in his position and looked at Su Xiaoran indifferently, but Su Xiaoran couldn't find a word to fight back.
Standing in front of her is her boss, who has been a friend of Chenxi for many years, what qualifications does she Su Xiaoran have to say that she is not?
Coming out of Qiao Xiaoyan's office, Su Xiaoran felt that his general thoughts had flown away. She returned to her seat in a daze, and before she could figure out why Qiao Xiaoyan was so nervous about Chenxi's flesh injury, May came over to gossip again.
"What's the matter, did I question you?"
"May, I don't want to talk."
Su Xiaoran turned on the computer and wanted to start the day's work, but she really couldn't devote herself.
"If you don't say it, I know, do you want to hear the exciting news? About Manager Chen and Vice President Qiao. ”
"What's the news?" Su Xiaoran looked at May's long flickering eyelashes and asked.
May looked around cautiously, and then lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Manager Chen is not only good with Vice President Qiao, but also has a better relationship with the company's CEO, and is Vice President Qiao's father." It's like they've known each other for years. ”
I see......
The mouse in Su Xiaoran's hand accidentally slipped down, she shook her head, and finally understood that it was not only Qiao Xiaoyan who stood between her and Chenxi, but also Qiao Xiaoyan's family.
Su Xiaoran suddenly felt that there was a long, long distance between him and Chenxi.
After work, she sat in her seat and waited for Chenxi to come out, she had something to ask him.
After waiting for twenty minutes, Chenxi finally came out of the office, but standing with Chenxi was Qiao Xiaoyan, who was smiling and smiling.
In front of Chenxi, Qiao Xiaoyan threw away the coat of a strong woman.
Su Xiaoran stood up, not knowing how to respond.
"Xiaoran, let's have dinner together in the evening?" Qiao Xiaoyan's tone was so warm and friendly.
"Xiao Yan said that there is a big event to announce, and we will have dinner together in the evening." Chen Xi has his hands in his trouser pockets, looking cool, with the scars on his face, it smells a bit of street ruffian.
"How?" Chen Xi walked over and took Su Xiaoran's hand.
"Hmm." Su Xiaoran couldn't hear her response.
