Part 284 The Long Night
"Once, I thought I could get what I wanted if I persevered enough, but then, I did something that even I would despise now, and got a scar that I would take a lifetime to make up for but still can't heal, and now, I have learned a lesson, there will always be an alarm bell in my mind, and when I am tempted, it will come out from time to time to wake me up, let me know the pain I once had, and I know that I will not experience that kind of pain for the rest of my life."
Zhou Yao didn't understand what made her so sad and blamed herself, but he believed that the current Chen Jiaqian must be different from the past, he was willing to believe that she was kind now, but gradually he reacted, maybe Sun Yingchen had the most right to know about the past, so Sun Yingchen let it go first, so the current Chen Jiaqian also let go.
But for the past, Zhou Yao began to want to know what happened, but looking at Chen Jiaqian's indifferent expression now, what is the point of him pursuing it further.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chen Jiaqian finished eating all the steaks on the plate, then wiped the corners of her mouth, and said: "Mr. Zhou, I just helped you get through a difficult time, you should invite me for this meal, now there is nothing to do, I will go back first." ”
Chen Jiaqian packed up her things and got up to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Yao suddenly stopped her.
Chen Jiaqian stood at the dining table and looked at him, not knowing what he was doing when he stopped him.
Zhou Yao felt that he was very inexplicable now, but he had already stopped her, not saying anything, it was not good, he looked around randomly, and said: "You haven't had desserts after dinner, and the desserts in this store are very good." ”
Chen Jiaqian smiled and said, "I won't eat the dessert, thank you Mr. Zhou." ”
"You better eat, it's really good, and you don't have anything to do when you go home now." Zhou Yao looked at her and said, "Actually, I feel weird when I stay alone to eat dessert, and I eat alone, it's really pitiful." ”
Poof, Chen Jiaqian laughed, she walked to her place again, sat down, and then put the bag aside, the smile on her face was still undiminished, and said, "Okay, so calculated, I helped you again, and you have to make up for it another day." ”
Zhou Yao felt like he had taken a reassuring pill in his heart, and said, "Okay." ”
was originally a dinner to save the scene, and the two didn't know each other, but Zhou Yao felt that when he got along with Chen Jiaqian, they didn't seem like strangers, but like friends who had known each other for a long time.
I don't know why, Zhou Yao will always see Sun Yingchen's shadow in Chen Jiaqian, they all belong to that kind of self-reliant character, Zhou Yao doesn't understand why he has such thoughts, maybe all the points can be explained out of curiosity, but is this really the case?
Chen Jiaqian accompanied Zhou Yao to eat dessert again, to be honest, Zhou Yao never liked to eat desserts, but seeing Chen Jiaqian eating so happily, the original sweet and greasy feeling is not unacceptable now.
"Mr. Zhou, if you feel embarrassed to eat with Qiao Yishan just now, why don't you say it, just tell Chairman Liu that you don't like blind dates, and you don't like such occasions." Chen Jiaqian's spirit relaxed, and she dared to talk to Zhou Yao about these things, forgetting that even if she was relaxed, Zhou Yao was also her leader, but the cake in her mouth almost melted her heart, making the originally tense expression suddenly relax, once this person relaxed, he dared to say anything.
Zhou Yao looked at her with a smile and said: "My mother's life is not easy, she has always been a strong woman, some time ago, I saw that one of her little sisters became a grandmother, so I went home and bombed me and my sister, let's go on a blind date quickly, it is best to get pregnant unmarried and have an illegitimate child out, if it really doesn't work, talking about one now can be regarded as giving her a little comfort." ”
Chen Jiaqian was a little confused when she heard this, and she didn't even know how to answer, after all, in Chen Jiaqian's thinking, ordinary high-ranking people don't need to think about these at all, but Zhou Yao is experiencing this, Chen Jiaqian, as a layman, naturally doesn't know how to help him answer.
"Actually, I've been under a lot of pressure during this time, and things at work have never bothered me so much, but I can't disobey my mother." Zhou Yao said very aggrieved.
This is what Zhou Yao has never confided in like outsiders, but he told Chen Jiaqian.
"You still need to digest these by yourself, after all, Chairman Liu is also for your own good." Chen Jiaqian can only say this, after all, she is still an outsider.
Zhou Yao sighed.
Chen Jiaqian suddenly thought of something, and said with a bright smile: "I can give you a bad idea." ”
Zhou Yao looked at her and smiled so strangely, she didn't know what she was thinking in her head, and asked, "Tell me about it." ”
Chen Jiaqian lowered her voice and said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to operate, Chairman Liu's purpose is to let you get off the list quickly, you can casually find a pleasing one in the blind date, anyway, your current identity, a golden single aristocrat, who doesn't want to pick up your big tree to enjoy the shade, this time, your troubles will be solved." ”
Zhou Yao shook his head and said, "I've seen too many emotions that I can't help myself, so if it's not that the two are happy, I really won't do that." ”
"Then you can find a fake girlfriend and fool Chairman Liu first, and you can be more relaxed." Chen Jiaqian said without thinking.
Zhou Yao locked his eyes on Chen Jiaqian and blurted out: "Okay, otherwise you should be that fake girlfriend." ”
Chen Jiaqian was stunned and said, "Me? ”
Zhou Yao nodded: "Yes, it's you." ”
"Don't be funny, no one believes this matter, besides, I'm a person with a criminal record, if I become your fake girlfriend, Chairman Liu will definitely explode on the spot, and your troubles and worries will definitely give birth to another version, I advise you to die of this heart." Chen Jiaqian shrugged, but her flickering eyes betrayed her in a panic.
Zhou Yao said casually, although Chen Jiaqian refused, but he thought about it very seriously, maybe this is also a feasible way, maybe you can try.
Inside the restaurant.
Zhou Yao and Chen Jiaqian chatted without a word, and the time passed quickly unconsciously, but neither of them knew it, when the waiter came over and said that it was about to close, Zhou Yao suddenly realized, looked at Chen Jiaqian and said, "It's so late." ”
Chen Jiaqian looked at the time on her wrist, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, she got up and said, "I have to go back first, I still have work tomorrow." ”
Suddenly, Zhou Yao stepped forward to hold her, and coincidentally took her hand, Chen Jiaqian was stunned, looked back at Zhou Yao, and said, "Mr. Zhou? ”
"It's so late, I'll send you." Zhou Yao also got up, but his hands never let go, as if everything was so natural.
Chen Jiaqian followed behind Zhou Yao, until Chen Jiaqian was sent to the car, he let go of his hand, the driver had been waiting outside for a long time, Zhou Yao directly reported the address, and the car started slowly, and the lights and shadows outside the window were stretched for a long time, just like today's long night.
