Chapter 55: Disappointment
The two looked at each other silently for a while, Lou Jin took Zhong Qi's hand, touched a cold, and his heart hurt, and said, "It's a little cold outside, shall we go back to the house?"
Zhong Qi looked at Lou Jin stubbornly, unwilling to leave here.
Lou Jin put Zhong Qi's hand to his lips and kissed it, and prayed distressedly, "Shall we go back to the house?"
Zhong Qi didn't say a word, but she could clearly feel that her attitude had softened.
Lou Jin picked up the person horizontally, and walked towards the house with the person in his arms. He knew that something should be settled today, and his sweet dreams should be awakened. He will cherish the time they spent together, no matter what their outcome is in the future, he will not let her go. Even if she hates him in the end, he won't let go.
Zhong Qi'an nested quietly in Lou Jin's arms, buried his face in his arms with affection, tears flowed down silently, soaking the clothes on his chest. She knew that if she didn't ask those words, they would be fine all the time. But those were all stolen, and sooner or later they had to be returned, how could she continue to live so self-deceptively.
Entering the bedroom, Lou Jin put Zhong Qi on the recliner next to the bed and handed her the big mias she liked.
Zhong Qi hugged Da Mi and lowered his head silently, not looking at Lou Jin or speaking.
Lou Jin moved a chair and put it in front of Zhong Qi, and the two of them sat opposite each other.
"You got a call this afternoon, didn't you?" Lou Jin couldn't bear to let his little woman secretly entangle anymore, and asked.
Zhong Qi nodded, always lowering his eyes and not speaking.
"Say, what?" Lou Jin asked with difficulty, feeling infinitely dazed in his heart.
Zhong Qi slowly raised his head and looked directly into Lou Jin's eyes, and struggled for a while before he resolutely asked, "Where are my parents now?" After the words were spoken, his eyes looked at him expectantly.
"They... Now in a safe place. Lou Jin hesitated and replied, his hand secretly clasped up.
"How did they get out of G City?" Zhong Qi then asked, with a little choking in his words, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Lou Jin was silent, he had promised her parents that he could not tell her the truth.
Zhong Qi closed his eyes sadly, his eyes were full of tears, and he asked as if relieved, "You still won't tell me, will you?"
"I'm sorry..."Lou Jin said apologetically, the struggle in his eyes was obvious.
"When you said that I would give you a chance, I gave it to you, I waited for you for so long, and you still refused to tell me. Lou Jin, I choose to believe you, but what about you? Everyone's wait is limited, what the hell do you think of me? Zhong Qi opened his eyes, his eyes were undisguised disappointed, and he questioned one by one, tears accumulated in his eyes for a while, and they never fell.
Zhong Qi, you should die. It's obvious now, isn't it? How long are you going to fool yourself? It's time to wake up from the dream...
Lou Jin couldn't say a word when he heard Zhong Qi's questioning, obviously the words had already reached his lips, and he obviously wanted to tell her that it was not like this. But in vain he opened his mouth a few times, but he was still speechless.
Looking at her disappointed gaze, his heart ached beyond his words.
Zhong Qi looked at the silent man in front of her and suddenly remembered that her parents had been missing for half a year. In this small half a year, she has seen nothing but two text messages reporting safety. Why is she living a self-deceptive life so comfortably, it is her parents who love her, why is she enjoying all this peacefully, why?
Lou Jin had an infinite struggle in his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to tell the truth, and on the other hand, his education told him that he could not be a treacherous person. He could see the discomfort in her eyes, he knew how disappointed she was in his heart right now, and he knew that everything was going to change from now on.
Zhong Qi hugged the big cat in her arms tightly, and her heart was infinitely sad. She thought that she had gotten to know the man in front of her a little bit during the time she had been together, but now she realized that she was still too naïve. is blindly immersed in love, and now she is hurting herself.
The two of them returned to the way they had when they first entered the house, and neither of them spoke again, each guarding a small world, silently healing.
When Zhong Qi heard his brother's voice of falling in love with his enemy this afternoon, although his heart fluctuated greatly, he still didn't believe it. But now, everything forced her to face these facts.
This matter passed like this, and the two of them went to work together as usual, but the two never spoke again. As soon as they got into the car, they each occupied a position on one side and were silent.
When I arrived at the company, if everyone felt that their president was full of spring breeze some time ago, it made people wonder if there was a partner. But recently, as soon as everyone meets the president, they feel like falling into an ice cave, and the originally cold temperament is now more and more unapproachable.
The two people who feel it the most are the special assistant and the secretary, and some time ago, the future president's wife has been eating with the president at noon. But now not to mention that people are coming up, and occasionally I meet people with a cold face.
The two of them were so obviously wrong that no one knew what happened to them. The special assistant only knew that the president threw down the meeting desperately that day and left in a hurry, and then it became what it is now.
The special assistant and secretary Lou Jin has not been much better than Zhong Qi recently, because of this matter, he has been working hard, and he wants to use his work to eliminate some of the boredom in his heart. However, after a few days, I found that no matter how much I did, it was in vain.
He threw aside the document he was looking at and looked out the window with annoyance. He knew they were all waiting for an opportunity now, or if he would tell everything, or if she would never hear his answer again.
He didn't know what he was clinging to, and he was about to completely occupy her heart. But when he kicked the door, he flinched. He had guarded the little woman for so many years, and he really didn't want her to be hurt. He was afraid of how sad she would be when she knew the truth, and he was afraid that she would not be able to bear such a result.
Thinking about it, his thoughts couldn't help but drift away, and he came to the scene where the Zhong family's parents came to beg him that day.
That day, he was working on documents in the company as usual, and occasionally when he thought of the little woman, his heart was soft.
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in and said that the Zhong family's parents were looking for him, and he hesitated to let people in, not understanding how the second elder, who had never had a deep relationship with him, could come here.
"Lou Jin, hello." After Zhong Xiong came in and saw him, he was the first to come over to say hello.
"Hello, uncle." Lou Jin stepped forward to shake hands with him and replied politely.
Zhong Xiong sat there and talked to him about some things that he didn't have, and from time to time he glanced at the time with some anxiety, quite restless.
Lou Jin greeted him for a while and knew that he had something to ask for, so he interrupted those useless topics and said directly: "Uncle came to me today probably not to chat, you might as well say anything directly."
Zhong Xiong hesitated when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at his wife next to him, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "I did ask you for this today, this matter may be too reluctant for you, but I really have no better way now, so I can only ask you."
Lou Jin listened carefully to the long list of prefixes of Zhong Xiong, and knew that what he was going to say next was definitely not small, but he just wanted to pave the way so that he could prepare in advance.
"I want you to marry my daughter." Zhong Xiong finally decided not to sell Guan Zi anymore and said directly.
Lou Jin never thought that it would be such a request, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, who had always been calm. He never thought that such a good thing would fall from the sky, and he would taste his long-cherished wish for many years.
Zhong Xiong saw that Lou Jin didn't answer for a long time, and he was actually very worried in his heart. After all, he was not sure at all that he would come today. Although the two are old acquaintances, they don't have much contact in the end. And Lou Jin, a young man, has been working hard in the shopping mall for so many years, and people have always been unclear about his character. Rashly visited, he just came to try it as a dead horse.
Now in this situation, he can be regarded as mentally prepared.
Lou Jin was alone for a long time before he recovered from the huge surprise just now. Looking at Father Zhong's uneasy expression, he barely controlled the joy in his heart and asked, "Uncle made such a sudden decision, but what happened?"
"Alas, it's a long story, and it's a mistake I made when I was younger. Now the retribution has come, and I deserve it. But I really can't bear to watch my daughter from headache to adulthood being snatched away by others like this, so I want to entrust my daughter to you. Although Lou Jin did not directly agree, since he opened his mouth to ask, it proved that this matter had taken a certain turn.
I can only watch and be anxious, and I can't help at all.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ruyu watched Zhong Qi suddenly stare at the computer screen in a daze when he was busy with work, and finally couldn't help asking.
Zhong Qi seemed to have just come back to his senses, and hurriedly replied, "I'm fine."
"You don't look like you're fine, I haven't seen you and your boyfriend texting lately. What's wrong, is it awkward? Chen Ruyu looked at Zhong Qi and asked with concern.
Although Zhong Qi didn't know how to deal with the relationship with Lou Jin, she had no desire to talk to someone now. Reluctantly smiled at Chen Ruyu and said, "I'm really fine, maybe I'm a little tired." Hurry up and finish the work in hand, otherwise you will have to work overtime again. ”
Chen Ruyu looked at Zhong Qi worriedly, and wanted to say that if you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, it's distressing. But seeing that she was in a bad mood, she silently swallowed the words back into her stomach and gave her a quiet space.
Zhong Qi has been a lot haggard recently, and he can see at a glance that he has something on his mind. Everyone just cared silently, and they could let her do less and do less, comforting her with their own actions.
