Chapter 31: Apologies

Li Niantian followed her to the rest room.

It's not a rest room, it's just a small area isolated from the corner of the balcony with greenery, so that the slightly drunk can come here to blow the night breeze.

After all, Li Niantian is not so stupid, he really went to a remote room, and if something happened, he couldn't tell it clearly.

Winter nights are particularly cold.

Li Nian wrapped the fox fur on her body tightly, leaned against the balcony railing that was high to her chest, looked at the starry sky, came back to her senses from time to time, and glanced at Du Wen who was preparing to speak.

In the end, I didn't want to be cold outside, so I took the lead in opening my mouth.

"Why are you here?"

"Hug ...... I'm sorry, Master," Du Wen bowed before stumbling to explain, "I haven't heard from you lately, but I have something I want to tell you, so I ......."

"So you asked Du Ruo? Or ......" Li Niantian paused for two seconds before spitting out the name that was already a little unfamiliar, "Su Jingqian?" ”

"Oh no...... Be. Li Niantian's eyes were dim in the light, Du Wen wanted to deny it, but as soon as he came into contact with her eyes, he still told the truth, but quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, please don't blame the teacher, I promised the teacher to come with the teacher." ”

This kind of Du Wen looks very well-behaved, as if he is back in school. The shawl wrapped around the delicate figure makes it more and more obvious that some places are looming, making people want to explore. The fingers of her hands tugging at the edge of the shawl turned the hair there into twists, and she stood under the fortune tree of the same person, and when she talked to Li Niantian, she would always unconsciously purse her lips.

It is a sign of a great lack of self-confidence.

"Got it." Li Niantian interrupted her apology impatiently and asked bluntly, "What do you want to tell me?" ”

"Master......" Coco Du carefully observed her, "You ......"

"You don't need to call me my wife," Li Niantian said calmly, "Just call me by my name." ”

"Huh? This...... Isn't it not good......"

Li Niantian didn't say anything, just curled his lips and changed the topic: "Came here on purpose, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Ah, no...... No, there is, something. ”

"Huh?"

"That'...... That one...... That day, the master ......" She glanced at Li Niantian's face, but still changed her words, "You asked me to call the police, but I ...... Didn't report ......"

The hand that was arranging the hair paused, Li Nian lowered his eyes, even though he told himself that this matter had nothing to do with Du Wen, but after all, he still lost the interest to continue talking: "I know. ”

"I'm sorry for my wife, because I thought it was not good for everyone to know about the affairs between your husband and wife...... So ......" Because of Li Nian's cold attitude, Coco Du also looked a little flustered, and began to explain incoherently.

"It's okay." Li Nian sat on the chair next to him and spoke without curiosity, "So the purpose of your visit today?" ”

"I, I heard Du Ruo say that you haven't been in good health in the past few months, I'm afraid it's because of what happened last time, so I'm going to see you......"

"Well, I'm fine, I don't need to come and visit."

"That's ......" Coco Du's voice became smaller and smaller, and he mustered up the courage to carry the paper bag that he didn't know where to conjure up in front of Li Niantian, "This is the strawberry mousse I made, you should treat it as if I made amends to you, if you want to taste it." ”

Li Nian breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled politely, "Su Jingqian shouldn't have told you, I actually don't like to eat these things." ”

"Oh......" Coco nodded wryly, and the hand holding the paper bag hung down.

"Anything else?"

"No ......"

"Then I'll ...... first"

"Master," Du Wen interrupted her farewell, tears rolling in her eyes, and it took more than ten seconds before she choked up under Li Niantian's warm eyes, "Are you prejudiced against me?" ”

"Prejudice?"

"I ...... That's not what I meant," Coco Du said, "I mean, if you have some misunderstanding. I really just have an ordinary teacher-student relationship with Professor Su, because I have always wanted to study for a PhD, and the success rate of applying for a PhD is much higher than that of taking a PhD. However, the school is very cautious about recommending PhDs every year, so I need a lot of scientific research results and publish a lot of academic papers before I am eligible to apply. ”

"Professor Su is a very young teacher, and he has a lot of projects in hand, and because he has his own company, he also has a lot of his own experience in practice. So I need Professor Su's help, and I don't have anything else to think about. Occasionally I bring some food to the professor, and I also want to thank the professor for his guidance to me, I don't want to get involved in your family......"

"I admire Professor Su very much...... However, I have my bottom line, and you can rest assured, I will never be a third party who destroys other people's families. ”

The night breeze blows and carries a chill.

Li Niantian still didn't have any fluctuations, she looked at the little girl in front of her with tears in her eyes, and watched her say again and again that she would never interfere in other people's marriages.

"Why did you suddenly come to me to say this?"

"Because...... There was some discussion among the classmates, saying that Professor Su and I ......" Coco Du bit his lip and looked a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid that these words will reach your ears and affect the relationship between you and Professor Su." ”

"Yes. It doesn't matter, I don't mind. Li Nian poured a glass of whiskey and sipped it slowly, "When you come, you'll be alone?" ”

"Huh? Be...... Because the teacher said...... He had something to do, so let me wait here alone for a while...... Happened to see you, so ......"

"Busy?"

"......" was silent again.

"Coco Du, you are a few years younger than me, so I will ask you to be a sister." Li Niantian put down the goblet in his hand.

She stood, thin heels holding up her already tall figure, the plush of her coat fluttering in the night breeze, tangling her long curled hair.

Infinite style.

She paced to Coco Du like a cat, her fingertips brushing her sideburns with her dyed fingertips.

"When I was as old as you, Su Jingqian didn't dare to leave me for a single step."

“!!!”

Coco Du's eyes widened, and he reflexively looked at Li Niantian beside him.

only to find that the person who thought it was gentle and harmless is like a fox in human form at this moment, tugging at the heartstrings of the prey.

The pair of peach blossom eyes were innocent and innocent, which made Coco Du have the illusion that maybe she didn't mean that.

But in the next second, Li Niantian lightly opened his lips and said slowly: "On this kind of occasion where celebrities gather, he needs to rely on me to have some relationships, of course, he is also afraid that I will fall in love with someone else in a short period of time, and then abandon him and fly away with others." ”

"What do you mean ......"

"I won't mention the other party's mistakes anymore when I break up," a hint of mockery crossed the corners of Li Niantian's mouth, "but if it's the first time you've attended this kind of occasion today, and he can hang you out, then I'll just tell you - if a man puts you behind at the beginning, how can you expect him to cherish you after you give him what he wants?" ”

"This dress is good," Li Nian poured out his words, smiled, and said, "Su Jingqian's taste is indeed very good. ”

"My wife, I ......"

Li Niantian blocked her next words.

The moonlight shone brightly, shining silver through the sparse clouds.

As cold as her tone.

"Coco Du, do you know why I said I don't mind?" Li Niantian chuckled, "Because I really separated from him, what do you think about Su Jingqian, and what kind of ill intentions Su Jingqian has towards you, it is not so important to me now." ”

"You said you wanted to do a PhD, and I supported it. For most people, education is the most direct and effective way to improve the class, especially girls, after studying for a doctorate, if they don't want to work in the society after graduation, they can go directly to the university teacher's examination, have a high social status, have a very good treatment, and are very stable. You are Du Ruo's sister, she is the one I am very optimistic about, and as her sister, of course I also hope that you will have a good development. ”

"But you've chosen the most dangerous path."

She approached Coco Du and really helped her pull her coat together like a big sister, and wiped off some of the blurred eyeliner at the end of her eyes.

"I know, or you've probably heard, that if you have a good relationship with a teacher, you can get a lot of unexpected resources. That's right, because the teacher has far more connections than those of you who have not yet been out of society, so if you leave a good impression on the teacher, it is easy for the teacher to think of you first when he has the resources in his hands. ”

"But there is a degree to good relations."

"You are a girl who goes to college in another place, young, beautiful, with your own knowledge, and it is easy to attract the likes of the opposite sex. These are your capital. But a person of the opposite sex, who asks you to meet alone in the office behind closed doors, encourages you to wear more low-cut clothes in front of him, or even calls you to go to a bar when he is drunk, can't you detect his intentions? ”

"I believe ......" Coco Du said, his voice weak, "Professor Su, he's not such a person......

"You believe it?" Li Niantian asked rhetorically, "Why do you believe it?" ”

"How long have you known him? Looks like he just started teaching your class last semester, right? What is the reason why you believe in him so much for four months? ”

"yes, but I don't think he's that kind of person......"

"You believe, you think," Li Niantian chewed on these two words, and in a trance saw the self-deception of himself in his previous life, "You don't even have enough arguments to support your belief and your feelings." ”

"But I don't expect to be able to convince you now, because no one will listen to you when you go up. I'll tell you just one thing, whether you believe it or not. Li Niantian touched the hairy hair on the back of her head, her expression was almost compassionate, "The prodigal son will not look back." ”

"Never fantasize about a person of the opposite sex, who has lived among a hundred flowers, but perched alone on your branches."

She is telling the truth, a hard lesson accumulated in her previous life.

It is said to Coco Du, and it is also said to himself in his previous life and in this life.

But the only thing she didn't expect was that the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional.

She dared to face this problem head-on because even in her previous life, she had no source of livelihood and it was difficult for her to go out independently, so she had to live under the same roof with Su Jingqian, and was humiliated by Su Jingqian in every way. But Su Jingqian's company was founded by her, and the start-up capital of the two of them in the early stage of entrepreneurship was also spent by her all her savings.

She has never been an admirer of Su Jingqian, but an equal and independent individual.

She is the eldest lady of the Li family who was raised from a young age, and she has never been the weaker party in the relationship.

And Coco Du, at the beginning of the fight, put himself in a lower position.

Li Nian's heartfelt words were like a direct slap in the face and said to her-

You don't deserve it.

Coco Du's eyes were red at that time, and tears rolled down from the street lamp.

She lowered her head in a panic and embarrassment, wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and her inferiority complex made her have no ability to think in front of Li Niantian at all, whether Li Niantian was humiliating her with these words.

Li Niantian watched her cry.

and is not prepared to continue to spread his sympathy.

This kind of thing needs to be digested slowly by a person.

When you cry and wake up, you will at least be more accepting of the gap between reality and the scene you imagined in your mind.

She didn't expect a ghostly person to appear behind her, grabbed her upper arm, and ripped her away from Coco Du.

"Li Niantian, what are you doing?!"
