Chapter 43: Contradictory Love
The field returned without warning, and everyone was stunned when he appeared in front of everyone, and it was as if he had changed after a few months.
"It seems that foreign ink is delicious, how did you become a middle-aged uncle?" Kiyoko looked at the somewhat fat field and teased.
"I'm uninhibited, indulgent, free, and adapt to the environment as I go, understand?" Tian Ye did not explain his weight in the slightest.
"Are you coming back for the New Year?" Xingchen asked.
"Yes! I've wanted to come back for a long time, but I've had a lot of delays. What's going on with Enron, why are you still late for dinner. Tian Ye muttered about the long-overdue Enron.
Later, An Ran called and said that there was something to delay and let them eat first, so Qingzi Xingchen and Tian Ye could only move their chopsticks first.
"I haven't brought a foreign girl back for so long?" Kiyoko said.
"What's so good about a foreign girl, but I heard that you're in love, congratulations! Which of the four of us would marry first? ”
"It must be you! Aren't you a professional blind date? Your parents won't keep you waiting. Kiyoko said.
Just when they were almost eating, An Ran appeared, but brought another woman, and everyone was stunned.
"Field, long time no see!" Instead, Ou Muyang greeted him generously.
"Long time no see!" The field chimed in.
"Mr. Ou, sit down, Enron, why did you come so late! We're all almost done. Xingchen hurriedly got up and gave up her seat, she sat next to Qingzi, and let Ou Muyang and An Ran sit together.
"There is a problem with a customer in Muyang, I just know that customer, so I helped her, since I am late, then I will punish myself for three cups!"
Ou Muyang saw that An Ran punished herself for drinking, and she also rushed to punish the wine to apologize to everyone, and everyone no longer cared about it when they watched them punish themselves and reflect.
After dinner, Anran sent Ou Muyang home, while Tian Ye sent Qingzi and Xingchen.
On the way home, Tian Ye couldn't help but complain: "What is Enron's situation now?" How did you get so close to Ou Muyang. ”
"Tian Ye, let me ask you a question, since you have known Mr. Ou before, what kind of person do you think she is? Will Enron get back together with her? Qingzi knew that Xingchen was still a little uncomfortable in the face of Ou Muyang's sudden appearance tonight, although he didn't show it on the surface, he must have countless questions in his heart.
"Actually, Ou Muyang and An Ran were very happy when they were together, but later no one thought that Ou Muyang would break up with An Ran directly after going abroad, and I don't know the specific reason, but at that time it gave An Ran a big blow, and now An Ran finally let go Ou Muyang is back again, you said that the world is really big, Ou Muyang still has the face to come back to see him, and the courage is enough."
"Then why does Enron go to work in Ou Muyang's father's company, isn't it a matter of course for the daughter to return to inherit the family business? Isn't Enron just waiting for the old love to rekindle? Kiyoko also asked the question in Xingchen's heart.
In fact, Enron's four years of college are funded by Mr. Long, and his major is interior design like theirs, after graduating from university, Mr. Long let Enron study in Ruian, Ryan has achieved very good results in the field of interior design, so Enron naturally does not want to miss this opportunity. As for breaking up with Ou Muyang, it did not affect his position in Ryan at all, after all, Ryan needed him, which was also an important reason why Enron had always stayed.
Enron's achievements in the company are obvious to all Ryan people, and it is natural for the company to keep useful talents, Xingchen and Qingzi both understand, but what they don't understand is that Enron is still so close to Ou Muyang? Is it because of work?
"But seeing Ou Muyang today, it has indeed changed a lot!" Tian Ye sighed.
Tian Ye and An Ran and Ou Muyang knew each other when they were in college, although Tian Ye and An Ran were not in the same university at that time, but they met because of a bicycle riding competition, at that time Tian Ye always had different female classmates around him, and An Ran was always Ou Muyang by his side, Ou Muyang was very kind and simple at that time, so they became very good friends. Tian Ye's graduation thesis Enron gave him a lot of help and allowed him to get his graduation certificate smoothly, so Tian Ye has always been very grateful to Enron.
After Xingchen returned home, he immediately received a call from An Ran, concerned about whether she was safe to get home and explain what he and Ou Muyang were with tonight, although this is such careful care between couples, but it can be seen that An Ran cares about her feelings very much. No matter what, Xingchen was moved to see Enron's hard conscience.
"Xingchen, if there is no Ou Muyang, will you accept Enron?" Kiyoko asked.
Xingchen hesitated, she had never assumed this, when Qingzi liked Enron, as a good friend, she did not hesitate to support Qingzi to quit silently, but today she hesitated in front of her so-called beautiful future, she cared more about her career than her love.
She had to admit that she had feelings for Enron, which is why she was so entangled in contradictions.
"I don't know, I just want to work hard, and Ou Muyang and An Ran are really a good match."
"Okay, let's sleep!" Kiyoko seemed to understand something, and immediately covered the quilt and went to sleep.
The stars toss and turn all night and find it difficult to sleep......
In the afternoon, the company's annual meeting presented awards to the employees who achieved good results, when Xingchen looked at An Ran and Ou Muyang together with the trophy and took a group photo, she actually had a trance thinking that this was their wedding ceremony, the happy appearance of the two people was blessed by everyone present, and Qingzi also commended her because of her good results in the design competition, Qingzi was like their bridesmaid, and she was just an audience who was invited to attend to see this "happiness", thinking that it was none of her business. Follow everyone to clap and bless, but somewhere inside her is shivering.
Xingchen just wants to end this annual meeting as soon as possible.
It's late when she gets home, Qingzi and Chen Xiaofei are still sharing her joy in "talking on the phone", while Xingchen is bored with page after page of the magazine, not reading at all, she seems to have to remind herself that she has to think about Enron's words, her career in the design department is in jeopardy, compared to other departments, I am afraid there is no better place to go except the project department, but the company will have spring break in a day, can she still have time to change?
If you can't change it, then leave it to fate!
Today is the last day of work, and the colleagues in the office can't sit still and are talking about how to spend the Spring Festival, and Qingzi is also helpless when she looks at Xingchen's listless appearance. She knows that Xingchen, who has always been strong, will not bow to others easily, and her stubborn self-esteem never wins the comfort or sympathy of others, so she has to accompany her silently, which is the best support for Xingchen!
Qingzi and Xingchen walked out of the building and saw Yang Xu standing there from a distance, Qingzi immediately became angry, she couldn't understand why this man could still appear here so brazenly after so much time had passed.
"What are you doing here?" Kiyoko asked.
"Kiyoko, you go back first!" Xingchen turned to her.
Qingzi walked up to Yang Xu and said, "If you let her hurt again, I will definitely not let you go." ”
Qingzi received a call from An Ran as soon as he got into the car, and it turned out that An Ran saw Yang Xu and Xingchen leaving together upstairs.
"Enron, if you don't know Xingchen, tell you like this, as long as you both are in Ryan for a day, Ou Muyang is Xingchen's boss, and she can't be with you."
Qingzi's words seemed to wake up An Ran, he never thought that working in Ryan and Ou Muyang would affect his relationship with Xingchen. Although the company does not stipulate in black and white that employees cannot fall in love with each other, this invisible pressure will make Xingchen fall into confusion.
Xingchen followed Yang Xu to a very elegant and quiet restaurant, the comfortable and warm piano sound made Xingchen unusually calm, and now Yang Xu no longer represents anything to her, the reason why she agreed to come out with him is because she remembered He Fangfang's words: The real letting go is to dare to face those things of the person who dare not touch.
"Do you have any plans for the Spring Festival?" Yang Xu knew that according to previous years, Xingchen would stay with him, but this year it was impossible, but he still couldn't help asking.
"I want to go home!" Xingchen didn't know why she always couldn't help but show all her inner words or vulnerability when facing Yang Xu, because she always remembered that Yang Xu in the past understood her so much and understood her. All the calm she had just had broken when she said this, and she couldn't help but choke.
The word "go home" has not been said by Xingchen for too long, and these two words have broken all her pretense and strength for so many years.
Yang Xu was very distressed and wanted to reach out to comfort her but shrank back, he knew that all of this was to no avail.
"If you don't want her, please don't bother her in the future." An Ran's voice suddenly sounded, and then he pulled Xingchen, who was sitting in the seat, to stand up, and said with great distress: "Let's go!" ”
In this way, An Ran and Xingchen disappeared from Yang Xu's sight.
An Ran had been holding Xingchen's hand tightly for a long, long time, and strangely she didn't struggle. In this cold winter, Enron's big hands are very warm, she is very nostalgic, and she even hopes that she can go on and warm without thinking about anything.
"Xingchen, will I accompany you for the New Year this year?"
An Ran's words surprised Xingchen very much, although he knew that An Ran was adopted by someone else, but his adoptive parents would definitely treat him as their own son, and he would definitely not miss it on a reunion day like the Chinese New Year.
"No, I'm going home." Xingchen still broke free from Enron's hand.
"I can accompany you home."
"I said no, you can accompany your parents for the New Year!"
"But I ......"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry!" Xingchen knew that An Ran was not at ease, but she thought as if she remembered something again: "Don't look for me in the future, it's not good." ”
"I know what you're worried about, one day I'll prove it to you, if one day you really lose your job, I'm willing to support you for the rest of your life."
"A lifetime" is so ridiculous in Xingchen's opinion, tell her for a lifetime at the age of 23, Yang Xu said so, Zeyang also meant this, and in the end? It turns out that the most unreliable thing in the world is the promise of men.
"I have hands and feet, I don't need you for a lifetime, I'm going back." Xingchen didn't want to explain anything to him anymore, so he flagged down a taxi and left.
