Chapter 18: Choosing to Compromise
Ye Nantian's plan fell through, Wen Yihuan washed his face with cold water, boiled milk and fried eggs for breakfast, and finished all this in an orderly manner before he began to call Han Cheng.
At this time, it was almost time to go to work, she was wearing a coat, and while dialing the phone and waiting to answer, Ye Nantian squatted on the chair next to the dining table and watched her tilt her head sideways and clamp the mobile phone between her ears and shoulders, while hurriedly buttoning the buckle of her high-heeled leather boots, her eyes rolling slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
What an interesting person...... Ye Nantian heard a heavy sound from the door, so he jumped down from the chair, and involuntarily raised his head and sniffed Wen Yihuan's pajamas on the shelf at the door.
With her smell, with the rosehip aroma of her usual cream, and a hint of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate from her skin, as a dog, Ye Nantian smelled it very clearly.
When he first met Wen Yihuan, he always felt that this woman was an out-and-out strong temper, as opposed to her extremely aggressive beauty, every gesture, every word and deed, with arrogance and competitiveness that did not make him hate.
But gradually, he couldn't understand Wen Yihuan a little. is clearly such a strong character, but at some moments it shows rare weakness and concession. Like a little wild cat that took the initiative to put away its claws, it hung its head and walked alone on the rainy night road.
was insulted by his superiors, swallowed his anger, and his boyfriend was suspected of splitting his legs, but there was no reaction at all...... He felt that Wen Yihuan's personality was like the two ends of the rope in a tug-of-war, and from time to time, some unexpected battles would appear.
In the morning, the office is as lethargic as the classroom. Wen Yihuan brewed a cup of instant coffee and held it in his hand, took a small sip while holding a small spoon and stirred it, letting the cheap coffee aroma wash away the messy thoughts in his mind.
"What's the matter, it doesn't look like you're in good spirits." Zou Jingxian had just gotten out of morning class and walked to her with a folder. She is indeed a gentle woman, and it is no wonder that countless teachers and students worship her as a goddess, and she has won the favor of all colleagues. Such thoughtful and real concern, after Wen Yihuan became an adult, rarely had it, and he was suddenly touched, and his heart involuntarily softened a little.
"It's okay, I probably didn't sleep." Wen Yihuan put down the coffee cup and shook his head with a slight smile.
Zou Jingxian was not fooled by her, but sat down opposite her, handed over a sandwich wrapped in paper and said, "If you eat less in the morning, you will lose energy, eat a little first." I guess...... Is it a relationship problem? ”
It's obviously a gossip problem, but in the face of Zou Jingxian's goose egg face without any city government, Wen Yihuan will only feel that he is too sensitive, and the heart of a villain has saved the belly of other people's gentlemen.
She couldn't bear to brush off Zou Jingxian's kindness, so she slowly opened the paper package of the sandwich and said, "It's nothing ......."
It's really nothing, but Han Cheng still has that faint tone on the phone, only saying that it was a misunderstanding, and explaining that he was very busy during the day today, and asked her to have a detailed interview at night.
This kind of businesslike tone actually made her feel a little cold. This is also a question that Wen Yihuan has been deliberately avoiding in his dealings with Han Cheng - the gap between the lives of the two people is too big, maybe in Han Cheng's place, playing with a woman on a social occasion is not a big deal worth explaining immediately.
"By the way, Mr. Zou, I have something to ask you." Wen Yihuan suddenly thought of something, swallowed the chicken mixed lettuce in his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "It may be a little offensive." ”
Zou Jingxian's apricot eyes widened slightly, looking moist and shiny, like an eighteen-year-old girl: "No, our colleagues for so many years are friends again." ”
Mr. Zhou...... The business is so big, it is inevitable that there will be entertainment. Wen Yihuan carefully chose the most polite-sounding wording, "Do you sometimes feel a little uneasy that he is outside?" ”
To some extent, Zou Jingxian is facing the same situation as her. The pace of the two people is inconsistent, there will always be some problems, on the one hand, a businessman in the business world, on the other hand, a teacher from 9 to 5, the rhythm of life is completely different, but, from Zou Jingxian's performance on weekdays, there are no signs of disputes and misfortune at all.
"Hmm...... Sometimes, I do. Zou Jingxian was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed softly, the corners of her mouth were very beautiful, and she was born with a somewhat upward angle, "But love and marriage, there is always someone to compromise." Could it be that Han Cheng is playing too much outside and making you unhappy? ”
Wen Yihuan pursed her lips, waved her hand in denial, lowered her head and rewrapped the sandwich that she had only eaten two bites and put it aside.
Compromise......
It wasn't until after work that she came to the door of the restaurant that Zou Jingxian's words still lingered in her mind. She is not a person who likes to compromise, but in adulthood, she has compromised countless times, and if she can, feelings are the last position she wants to hold onto.
Wen Yihuan stepped on high-heeled leather boots and walked into the booth that he had made an appointment with Han Cheng. Han Cheng naturally arrived earlier than her, but there were other people sitting next to him.
