Sitting down, Fang Ruoning looked at the man opposite, still with a familiar face, but every time they met, every time they looked at him, they would feel more and more strange and trembling.

Li Quan waited dutifully not far away, his eyes kept staring in their direction, as if he was about to rush up at the slightest breeze.

Zhao Linlang's indifferent gaze swept over Li Quan, and slowly fell on the woman opposite, looking at him without a trace.

Xu is born beautiful, I have to say that six years of time did not leave many traces on her, but made her fade away from the youthful and simple, immature and shy, become more dignified and elegant, temperament like orchid, even if she is wearing a decent OL outfit and light makeup, she can't hide the mature charm she exudes from her bones.

Zhao Linlang had all kinds of emotions in his heart, and the complex emotions that had been entangled for more than six years became clear again at this moment.

When faced with the trade-off between career and love, any man with ambition and ambition may choose a career - but when he has a successful career and has power and wealth, he will miss the love that he abandoned back then.

People are so greedy, and Zhao Linlang is this kind of person.

Looking at the woman opposite with delicate facial features and elegant aura, the desire in his heart to conquer and occupy was unprecedentedly strong, and it seemed that only by getting her could life be truly complete.

Thinking like this, the man's slightly cold and dark pupils couldn't help but shrink again, as if a cheetah was examining its prey and thinking about where to take its mouth.

Fang Ruoning was uncomfortable with his gaze, and a chill swept through his spine uncontrollably.

Just as she was pondering whether to speak first, Zhao Linlang finally blinked slightly and withdrew that aggressive gaze, with a faint smile on his face, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I thought that you would be able to be a carefree young grandmother after marrying a wealthy family, why are you still working so hard to follow Huo Lingxiao out to work hard?" ”

Fang Ruoning glanced at him, saw the waiter coming over to help them pour water, smiled politely, and when the waiter walked away, the smile on her face was put away, and she said lukewarmly: "This is my own choice, not forced by anyone." ”

Zhao Linlang looked at her with a gloomy look, "After so many years, you are still so strong." ”

"Isn't that what you taught me? No one can rely on it, only on oneself. ”

"Oh? Do you remember what I said? Zhao Linlang smiled and continued, "In this way, Huo Lingxiao didn't give you enough security. ”

"No, you're wrong, security never needs to be given by others, but by yourself. I'm so strong not because he treats me badly, on the contrary, because he's so good to me, I'm not willing to just care about my own enjoyment and let him bear so much pressure alone. ”

Zhao Linlang's smile was a little stiff, and even his tone became cold: "Did you deliberately say these words to stimulate me?" Just because I deceived you and left you. ”

Time has passed, and it seems redundant to say this, Fang Ruoning turned her eyes slightly, looked at the Huo's twin buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling window, thinking that the man she loved was sitting at the top of that floor, her heart warmed a little more, and she responded coldly: "There is no point in saying this, you are no longer the Lin Lang in my mind, and I don't care who deceived whom and who left whom." ”

Zhao Linlang's face became ugly, even his eyes were a little sharper, and he was silent for a few seconds, and he suddenly said lonely: "I thought that in the past few years of losing me, you would have a very painful life, but I didn't expect that I was self-inflicted." I've been living in remorse and guilt all these years, and I've been worried that you'll be sad and sad......"

He shook his head slightly with self-deprecation, and his devastated appearance was particularly moving.

Fang Ruoning just said that he was no longer the same Lin Lang he used to be, but now, seeing that his eyebrows were full of loneliness and pain, and his whole body was engraved with depression and heartbreak, she actually felt as if her heart was being grabbed by something, and her eyes suddenly ached, and she almost burst into tears.

Zhao Linlang who looks like this is still what she remembers.

Whenever they quarrel or have a conflict, and she refuses to pay attention to him, this person will have this sad and lost expression, as if he has been abandoned by the whole world.

Whenever he showed this appearance, she couldn't help but soften, and forgot why the two were arguing, and just wanted to rush up and hold him in her arms.

Those painful and happy days, sour and astringent, ups and downs, but unforgettable.

"Do you remember this watch?" Seeing that the woman's expression froze, her eyes swayed, and it was obvious that her emotions had been mobilized, Zhao Linlang glanced at her, revealing the watch she was wearing on her wrist.

"Over the years, even though I had become incredibly wealthy and could afford any sky-high luxuries, I never thought of replacing this watch. Because, this is the rite of passage you gave me. His eyes were deep and affectionate, and he said this with great seriousness.

The antique watch on his wrist was a birthday gift that Fang Ruoning bought for him on his eighteenth birthday with the pocket money he had saved for a long time.

From their point of view at the time, it was indeed a very expensive gift, but now, especially compared to the status of the son-in-law of a powerful and wealthy family, that watch can be called cheap garbage.

Fang Ruoning's gaze fell on the watch with his words, and he immediately froze, he really didn't expect that it had been almost ten years, and he was still wearing this watch.

"Ning Ning, what I said that day was all true, I have always loved you, and I have always wanted to come back to you - it's just that there are too many last resorts, and I am worried that coming back rashly will scare you."

His tone was gentle, his eyes were deep, as if he was deliberately demagogic people's minds, for a moment, Fang Ruoning was indeed confused, and the whole person was immersed in a bizarre emotion, as if he was being pulled by something, entangled, and returned to the past.

But it was only for a moment, reason regained the upper hand, and she thought of the various actions that this man had done in order to reshape his identity, and suddenly justice prevailed over emotion.

Taking a deep breath and reorganizing his mood, Fang Ruoning looked back at the man and said bluntly: "We have all started our own families, don't say these meaningless words again, I won't believe you." ”

Zhao Linlang still did not give up lobbying and bewitchment, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What if they each have a family?" Ruoning, nothing is more important than us being together, as long as I finish this big thing, no one can do anything to us. Ruoning, I don't care that you betrayed me, I believe you were just confused by that man for a while, and when I have enough money, I can also let you live a luxurious and rich life, and more importantly, we love each other and are childhood sweethearts. ”

Fang Ruoning listened to these words, his eyebrows tightened, and he stared at the man and said in disbelief: "Are you crazy?" Why do you think that you have died once, been gone for more than six years, and I should still be waiting for you in the same place, widowed for you? Zhao Linlang, how did you become like this? It's incredible......"

The man's face was stunned, her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and she continued: "Do you think I was with Huo Lingxiao for money? You keep saying that I betrayed you...... You're really crazy, for money, for power, for a luxurious life, you're all stunned......"

Seeing that he continued to be silent, the pain, depression, and loneliness on his face, and the freezing and disintegrating bit by bit in her merciless accusations and ridicule, Fang Ruoning's heart swelled with indescribable sadness.

Zhao Linlang stared at her, was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled.

He thought that playing the emotional card should work, after all, this woman liked him to the core, but he didn't expect that he miscalculated.

"Ruoning, you said that I have changed, why don't you?"

"Yes, so we've all changed, it's impossible to go back to the past, so don't say those meaningless words again!"

Suddenly feeling that she couldn't get along with him anymore, she leaned back, her face was cold and indifferent, and she said impatiently: "Let's get down to business, what do you want to talk to me?" I know you're going to buy the Huo Group, but you're too naïve, the Huo Group is not something you can eat in one bite. ”

Zhao Linlang raised his eyebrows, and a trace of astonishment was evident in his cold face, "You guys are really fast, you have actually found it." No wonder, Huo Lingxiao is in such a hurry to return to the company, is he afraid that Huo Ershao will not be able to deal with me, right? ”

Fang Ruoning didn't respond, and asked again: "What do you want to say, just say it, don't delay our dinner." ”

The more anxious she was, the more Zhao Linlang betrayed her, "Didn't you say just now, you also have something to ask me?" Why don't you say it first. ”

"......" Fang Ruoning looked at him, seeing that he was not in a hurry, he obviously planned to confront her all the time.

Worried that Huo Lingxiao would come down soon, and she didn't want these two people to meet, after weighing it, she had to ask what she cared about first.

"Did you find someone to take those photos on the Internet? Or is it that you took it? ”

Zhao Linlang was stunned for a moment, understood what she was asking, and replied very simply: "This matter has nothing to do with me." ”

"Nothing to do with you?"

The man smiled, "If you don't believe me, then I can't help it." ”

Fang Ruoning was secretly puzzled, it wasn't him who took it, so who else could it be?

"However, I remember one time when you met with that man, there was indeed someone near you who was following, and I wasn't sure if the other party was aiming at you or at that man-" Zhao Linlang looked at her with interest halfway through his words, "I thought that the two of you had some unsavory relationship, and I even thought that the man had a family, and it was his wife who bought a private detective to investigate your ......"

Fang Ruoning's face sank, "It's not what you think at all, we're just normal ordinary friends, I asked him for help just to investigate you." ”

"Oh...... So that's it! Zhao Linlang nodded and understood, "However, my husband is obviously powerful, but you go to find another man, it's interesting!" ”
