Over the years, I have been accustomed to many scenes, even on many major occasions, even if she is drumming in her heart, but on the face, Ji Lianxin has always been able to maintain a calm and calm surface, but at this moment, she may not even be able to maintain these superficial skills.

"You say...... Get married?" Ji Lianxin's voice stammered rarely.

"Yes, do you want to marry me?" he repeated.

The answer to this question is actually obvious, she has been by his side for several years, some people say that she is clinging to him for money, some people say that she is climbing him for her status in the company, and some people say that she is delusional about turning a sparrow into a phoenix and wants to marry into a wealthy family in one fell swoop.

In fact, in the final analysis, she is just because she loves him, and at the same time, she understands her identity more clearly.

Marrying him, this idea has not appeared in the depths of her heart, but she knows very well that a man like Chu Xici may not marry a woman easily at all, if one day, he wants to find a woman to marry, then maybe it is because he loves that woman, or perhaps, he will choose one from those women with similar family backgrounds indifferently.

However, no matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with itself.

Ji Lianxin's silence made the corners of Chu Xici's lips sneer, "Why, is this question so difficult to answer?"

His voice pulled her back into her distraction, and she couldn't tell from his eyes what he meant by asking, but she took a deep breath and replied according to her own heart, "Yes." ”

Yes, this simple word is her idea.

"And what do I do now as you wish?" he said again.

She was stunned, and looked at him with a surprised face, what did he mean by this, what did it mean to be as she wished?

Her eyes saw only his thin lips closing one by one, and said—"Let's get married." ”

Tie the knot?!

He's going to marry her?!

Suddenly, Ji Lianxin only felt that she had heard it wrong, and it was impossible for such words to come out of Chu Xici's mouth, but reason was telling her that this was true, not that she was dreaming.

"You...... Seriously?" she muttered.

"Am I joking?" he asked faintly.

"Then why did you choose to marry me?"

His gaze seemed to be looking at her, and seemed to be looking through her, looking at the elevator not far behind her, "Because when I was standing here alone, I suddenly thought, maybe I can try to get married, and you just appeared in front of me, besides, over the years, you haven't done anything wrong, you won't be jealous, and play some boring means." ”

Her heart sank, the previous wild beat, the previous confusion and nervousness, all of which turned into a cold at this moment.

He said these things to her, not because he had some feelings for her, but just because it was "just right", and it just so happened that he wanted to try to get married, and it happened that she appeared.

Her lack of jealousy and lack of trickery became an advantage for him to choose her.

Ridiculous and pathetic.

She is like a clown, even though she can talk and laugh on the surface, but no one will ever know about the sadness in her heart.

And he, I'm afraid, doesn't bother to know about it at all.

"Lianxin, would you like to marry me?" Chu Xici asked.

The feeling of coolness in my heart began to spread from my chest to my whole body.

He was asking her, but what he wanted was just a result, not her feelings. She has a very strong cognition, as long as she says the word "willing" at this moment, then her future can become Mrs. Chu, marry into the Chu family, and become a wealthy woman, maybe her future life will be different.

But is this kind of life really what she wants?

Ji Lian asked herself.

Raising his eyes, he looked at the man in front of him in a daze, his face was still so handsome, revealing a kind of attraction to women, those dark and deep eyes, beautiful but also cold, even when the two of them were entangled in the most intense body, his eyes were still so cold.

It's as if those lingerings, for him, are just a solution to physical needs.

Taking a deep breath, she replied seriously, "I'm sorry, I don't think I want to." As the words came out of her mouth, she felt her heart fluttering.

Will she regret it? In the next few years, in the rest of her long life, will she regret the decision she made now? Ji Lianxin didn't know, but at this moment, she didn't regret saying this.

Chu Xici's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised that the always docile woman would give such an answer.

"You don't want to?"

"Yes, I don't. Ji Lian said in her heart, "Xici, if you really want to get married, then you should think about it seriously and then make a decision, rather than just finding a woman who 'just happened' to appear to marry." I don't want you to regret it in the future, and I regret it too. ”

After Ji Lianxin said this, she stopped talking, just looked at her nose and nose, and stood quietly in front of Chu Xici, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Xici's gaze swept over Ji Lian's heart, and said coldly, "Since you don't want to, then I won't force it." ”

He has always disdained to force women, except for Dong Xiaoren, who once made him an exception.

Crossing Ji Lianxin, Chu Xici walked towards the elevator, Ji Lianxin followed behind him, the bitterness at the corner of his lips flashed, and then returned to his usual appearance.

————

Since childhood, because of the poverty of her family, Ji Lianxin has always told herself that she must strive for the top, and only by her own efforts can she change her life.

Parents have also been working hard to make a living, but because of their limited ability, there has been no improvement in the family conditions. When Ji Lianxin was a child, a family of three was nested in a small house of 40 square meters, and she didn't have any toys that many of her peers had.

The clothes and pants she wears are all old clothes worn by relatives' cousins or neighbors' children, and the toys are also some obsolete toys thrown by others, and her mother will pick them up at home, wash them, and then play with her.

But no matter how poor she is, her parents will always squeeze out the money for her studies, she wants to buy stationery, buy reference books, and her parents will save money to buy them for her.

So she told herself in her heart that she must study hard to repay her parents.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been at the top of her class in her studies, and she is a good student in the eyes of her teachers. After being admitted to a good high school, and then to a good university, after graduation, I found a good job and worked hard to improve the conditions at home.

And over the years, she has done it.

In the interview of thousands of troops, he broke into M and became Chu Xici's secretary, responsible for taking care of a lot of M's affairs.

The living conditions of the family, over the years, have also been improved little by little, the old house of 40 square meters of the family, replaced by the new community 80 square meters of house, although it is not big, but the living conditions are much better than before.

It's just that although her parents are retired, they still want to earn a few more money to reduce the burden on her, and her father found a job in a communication room near the community, with a salary of 1500 per month, while her mother does housekeeping services, picks up and drops off children for a family in the community, buys vegetables and cooks dinner, and earns about 2500 a month.

Ji Lianxin once told her parents that they could rest and live a leisurely retirement life, but her parents never refused. Just say do more while you can still do it.

In the evening, after dinner, Ji Lianxin said to her parents, "Mom and Dad, if I want to resign and change jobs, will you approve?"

Ji's father and Ji's mother were stunned when they heard this, "Why did you suddenly think about changing jobs, didn't you always say that you want to develop well in this company?"

Ji's father and Ji's mother also know that when their daughter entered M, she passed five levels and cut six generals, which was not easy, and she seemed to have developed well in the company over the years, why did she suddenly resign?

Ji Lianxin said the reason that she had already thought of, "The company has a lot of things, and after a few years, I am also a little tired, and I want to change to a more relaxed job." ”

Ji's father and Ji's mother didn't make much sense, so they just said, "It's okay to change jobs, look at you, you're all 30 now, busy with work, and you haven't found one." ”

"Yes, now our family conditions are still passable, so it's better to change to an easier job and find a suitable partner. ”

Ji Lianxin saw that her parents didn't think much about it, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, returned to her room, and opened her laptop.

When her fingers touched the keyboard, it still made her mood rise and fall again.

However, in fact, when she became Chu Xici's lover, she was actually ready for this, and one day, she would leave M, but she didn't expect that this day would be earlier than she imagined.

The phone tapped on the keyboard, typing her resignation report.

Actually, it's good to leave. Leaving this relationship that has been wrong from the beginning, maybe after she leaves, there will be another world, instead of being limited to this wrong relationship like now, just immersed in bitterness every day.

The next day, when Ji Lianxin personally handed over the resignation letter to Chu Xici, Chu Xici only glanced at it lightly, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest, as if what she handed him was just an ordinary letter.

Ji Lianxin said to herself self-deprecating in her heart: Ji Lianxin, what kind of expression do you expect to see him? Sometimes it's better not to be sentimental, otherwise you will only be disappointed again and again.
