When he got downstairs, Xiong Ruiyi called Ding Yalan a few times, but she didn't answer.

He knew she was at home, because her room, which was supposed to be lit, was turned off as soon as he first called.

She won't answer the call. Thinking like this, Xiong Ruiyi walked into the unit where Ding Yalan lived, went upstairs, and knocked on the door gently.

There was still no movement inside.

Xiong Ruiyi thought about it and sent a message to Ding Yalan, without explanation, just asking her to open the door.

Some words, not face-to-face, no matter how much they say, they can't be believed. Therefore, he wanted to look into Ding Yalan's eyes and explain to her that the reason why he said those words was because of his bitterness.

There was still no movement in the room, Xiong Ruiyi increased his strength and knocked on the door again.

Someone came up from downstairs with someone talking, and it was two old couples in their sixties.

Seeing Xiong Ruiyi, because they were all old neighbors and were more familiar, he smiled and asked without scruples: "How do you come to see your girlfriend?" When we went out for a walk and saw her crying, didn't you quarrel? ”

Xiong Ruiyi smiled and said nothing, he was not a person of many words.

The old couple didn't say anything more, and went upstairs as they spoke.

It's just that Xiong Ruiyi heard one of them say: "Look, I said it all, that girl is the girlfriend of the son of the Xiong family, and Mama Xiong still doesn't believe it." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Xiong Ruiyi suddenly realized, he said why has Xiong's mother been mentioning the topic of letting him have a girlfriend sooner recently, is it because of this reason?

"Arran, open the door." Xiong Ruiyi knocked on the door again, and at the same time called Ding Yalan's name.

After a few calls, Ding Yalan's house did not move, but the door opposite was opened.

"Brother Xiong, are you here to coax your girlfriend?" A boy in his twenties poked his head out.

He and Xiong Ruiyi are more familiar, when he was in middle school, because his academic performance was too poor, he asked Xiong Ruiyi, who was still in college at the time, to help him tutor for a while. Xiong Ruiyi handed him a lot of correct learning methods, and he was successfully admitted to a key high school.

"You don't keep peeking, do you?" Xiong Ruiyi still talks a lot with familiar people, and sometimes even makes a joke.

"Not all the time...... Moreover, I'm not peeking, I'm mainly afraid that bad people will harass that beautiful sister, and I'm protecting your girlfriend for you. The boy was about to come out to watch the excitement in the open, when suddenly someone grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

"Do you know that you are a repeat student, and you are about to take the college entrance examination, and you don't put your mind on studying." The boy's mother dragged her son into the house and counted them down, and then she stuck her head out of the crack in the door and said apologetically to Xiong Ruiyi: "You continue to coax your girlfriend, we won't bother." ”

With that, he closed the door.

Xiong Ruiyi was really a little crying and laughing.

After thinking about it, he simply increased the intensity of the knock on the door, and at the same time raised the volume: "Xiong Ruiyi's girlfriend, hurry up and open the door, Xiong Ruiyi wants to coax you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the snickering laughter of the mother and son from the opposite door.

At this moment, Ding Yalan finally opened the door.

"Who's your girlfriend?" Ding Yalan glared at Xiong Ruiyi with a thick nasal voice: "You are not ashamed, standing at the door of someone else's house at night to make noise." ”

"Let's talk." Xiong Ruiyi looked around and asked with a smile, "Do you want to stand here with me to talk, or let me go in and talk?" ”

Ding Yalan thought about it, turned sideways, and invited Xiong Ruiyi in.

"I just don't want people to be laughed at by their neighbors." Ding Yalan blocked Xiong Ruiyi at the door, and didn't mean to let him in and sit.

Xiong Ruiyi smiled and said without mind: "I don't have anything to be afraid of, anyway, this neighbor has already decided that you are my girlfriend." ”

Ding Yalan pursed her lips and said disappreciably: "I don't care, it's a big deal that I waste a few months of rent and just move out." At that time, the only one who can't explain to your family is you......"

"I'm in favor of you moving out." Xiong Ruiyi paused, pulled his tie, and said, "It's too hot here for you, why don't you move back to Xiyang to live?" ”

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Ding Yalan's heart sank, but the second half of his sentence made her feel that he seemed to still care about her.

It's just that she thought of what he said when he was in the hotel again, and her heart was completely cold again.

Xiong Ruiyi guessed what Ding Yalan was thinking, he sighed, let her look into his eyes, and said seriously: "I know what you are angry about, what you are sad, I just want to tell you that you don't have to take what I said to Lin Bohua in your heart, except for the sentence 'I have admired Director Ding's work ability from a very early age', there is no truth." ”

Ding Yalan turned her head sideways, she would rather choose to believe her ears for what she heard with her own ears and the explanations made by Xiong Ruiyi. It's just that the thought of doubting Xiong Ruiyi made her heart feel uncomfortable.

"There are some things I can't say to you just yet. I just want you to trust me. Xiong Ruiyi once again understood An Weichen's mood, and he had said something similar to Xiong Xiaobai. It turns out that it is such a painful thing not to be trusted by the people you love.

Ding Yalan looked at Xiong Ruiyi slowly, she took a deep breath, and asked, "Let me ask you, is it because you have always wanted to dig me to come to An's that you will heroically save the beauty and appear by my side?" ”

"I want to poach you to come to An's, and I want to be able to protect you, but these two things are not related. I saved you, it's a coincidence. As for Ann's, I just provided a reference opinion, and the final decision is a choice made by yourself. Xiong Ruiyi answered Ding Yalan's question, and begged her with his eyes to think about whether things were as he said.

Xiong Ruiyi's words, Ding Yalan couldn't deny it.

"Why do you want to protect me? yes, it seems that since we first met, you have been solving problems for me, are you sympathizing with me? Ding Yalan asked in a trembling voice, and after speaking, she bit her lip tightly, and her poor self-esteem was playing tricks again.

"Sympathize with you? Ding Yalan, do you have anything for me to sympathize with? Even without me, you've survived all these years by your own efforts. Isn't it? Xiong Ruiyi took half a step forward, looked into Ding Yalan's eyes, and said gently: "The first time I helped you, it was a gesture; The second time I helped you, I was entrusted by someone; The third time I helped you, it was an accidental coincidence...... What else have I helped you? Was you sick yesterday? That's because you don't know how to take care of your body, and I'm worried about you. ”

As soon as Ding Yalan opened his mouth, he was preempted by Xiong Ruiyi, and he said with a smile: "Don't ask me why I'm worried about your stupid question, haven't you noticed it at all?" Can't you even see it? Ding Yalan, I like you. I like you! Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Really?" Ding Yalan was stunned for a while before she spoke again to confirm. She bit her lip, she could see that Xiong Ruiyi was telling the truth, she just wanted to prove that she was not dreaming.

"If you bite your lip harder, you're sure you're not dreaming by now, right?" Xiong Ruiyi caressed Ding Yalan's lips with pity, and said gently: "Of course it's true, every word of what I said to you is true." Otherwise, how could I block your door at night and let everyone know that you are my Xiong Ruiyi's girlfriend? ”

Ding Yalan blushed and lowered her head, she was not a little girl, she would not be blindly willful, and she would not ask Xiong Ruiyi for what purpose she said to Lin Bohua.

She believed in Xiong Ruiyi, even if she was very sad just now, she didn't really doubt him.

She couldn't help crying because she couldn't confirm his intentions.

And now, he is really standing in front of him and confessing to her seriously, so what reason does she have not to believe him.

Lowering his head, Xiong Ruiyi whispered in Ding Yalan's ear, "So...... Tell me honestly, do you like me? ”

"I like you! Ruiyi, I really like you! Ding Yalan raised her head, looked directly into Xiong Ruiyi's eyes, and told him what she wanted.

Xiong Ruiyi's emotions were very excited because he was too moved, he hugged Ding Yalan into his arms and said softly: "Thank you." ”

Because of Ding Yalan's incident, Xiong Ruiyi once again realized that he might be too cruel to An Weichen.

Frankly speaking, if he wasn't Xiong Xiaobai's brother, then he would definitely support An Weichen 100%.

However, that night, because of An Weichen's past and his identity as an elder brother, he denied An Weichen's feelings for Xiong Xiaobai.

Thinking about it now, Xiong Ruiyi feels that he has made a mistake.

It's just that it doesn't matter if he knows he's wrong or not, because he is not a party after all. But Xiong Xiaobai is still persisting, if one day, when she has the same feeling as herself, will she regret today's decision?

Do I want to ...... How about helping them again? Because of Ding Yalan, Xiong Ruiyi learned how painful it is to be misunderstood by the person he loves.

He is like this because he has true feelings for Ding Yalan.

An Weichen, who also had true feelings for Xiong Xiaobai, must have been very painful.

Finally...... How do I do that? Xiong Ruiyi lay on his bed, distressed because he couldn't choose.

In business, he has always been resolute, but when faced with emotional problems, he is just an ordinary person.

No matter how much shopping experience and negotiation skills you have, it is really useless in front of your loved ones.

Tomorrow, when I finish dealing with Ding Yalan's mother's affairs, I'll go to An Weichen to have a good talk. By the way, I also want to tell him about Lin Bohua's use of Ding Yalan to be unfavorable to the company.
