"It's a friend, it's just a friend all along."

Ji Yan replied indifferently, and added: "I have the same attitude towards everyone, as long as I am sure of one thing, I will not change anything." ”

Does that also include between us?

But Xu Chenyin didn't ask this sentence after all.

There was silence between the two again.

When the small dish was served, the bottom of the pot was gradually boiling, and Xu Chenyin was about to finish the dish when a phone rang suddenly.

It's Ji Yan's mobile phone.

He glanced at Xu Chenyin, took his mobile phone, and got up to leave.

Xu Chenyin lowered her eyelashes slightly, tried her best to suppress the loss in her heart, and boiled some of Ji Yan's favorite foods into the pot.

"Mr. Ji, come to the hospital."

At that time, Ji Yan was standing at the door of the hot pot restaurant, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I know, let's go." ”

Hanging up the phone, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Chenyin, a pair of dark eyes were as deep as ink, as if they could devour everything.

After a while, he walked back to his position, and said without emotion: "I have something to do tonight, you can eat by yourself, go first." ”

Xu Chenyin was stunned, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks and got up: "What's wrong?" ”

"Not really." Ji Yan's voice was low, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and left.

Xu Chenyin looked at his back, bit his lip, and then looked at the boiling hot pot, his eyes were slightly hot, and he had already lost his appetite.

At night, the stars are shining in Beijing, and occasionally a few small couples holding hands pass by on both sides of the street.

Xu Chenyin walked back to the apartment alone, casting envious looks at several couples passing by from time to time along the road.

When she came home, it was pitch black, and just as she wanted to turn on the light, a person came out of the balcony.

It's Zhao Jinzhou.

Xu Chenyin was taken aback, and after relieving himself, he turned on the light and asked Wen Yan, "Brother, why didn't you say anything when you came?" ”

"See for yourself, I've called you a few times." Zhao Jinzhou's tone was a little displeased.

Xu Chenyin paused for a moment and took out the mobile phone in her bag, only to find that the mobile phone was turned to silent mode by her at some point.

She lowered her eyes and explained in a low voice, "It should be that I forgot to tune in when I was working." ”

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Jinzhou twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you look like you can't give up, did you encounter any difficulties at work?" ”

“…… No. ”

Xu Chenyin walked to the sofa as he spoke, sat down on the sofa, picked up a plush doll casually, and muttered in a low voice: "It would be nice if I encountered difficulties at work." ”

In this way, she at least knows how to solve the most basic problem, but now it is Ji Yan's resolute attitude that makes her at a loss.

Zhao Jinzhou poured her a glass of warm water, handed it to her, and asked guessingly, "Is it related to that man?" ”

Xu Chenyin took the cup and took a sip, but didn't make a sound.

Zhao Jinzhou looked at her weak appearance, and guessed in his heart, his eyes deepened, and he didn't continue the topic, and the words changed sharply: "Have you liked the house recently?" ”

“……”

Xu Chenyin's hand holding the cup paused slightly, and said softly: "I haven't liked it yet, I'll take a look at it." ”

Zhao Jinzhou still looked at her, but instead sat beside her, stretching his long legs casually: "At the end of this month, if you don't like it yet, then move to the villa over there in Liuyuan with me." ”

After he said this, he raised his eyelashes and looked at Xu Chenyin without a trace.

But in the next second, he retracted his gaze, glanced at the time on his phone, and said in a casual tone: "Get up and go to dinner with me." ”

"I don't want to ......"

Xu Chenyin said, and met his black eyes with a little coldness, and stopped abruptly.

"Do you want to go?" Zhao Jinzhou asked again.

The tone was ordinary, but Xu Chenyin heard a hint of threat in it.

She exhaled lightly and stood up resignedly: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Zhao Jinzhou raised his eyebrows in satisfaction: "Hot pot? ”

Xu Chenyin was heartbroken when he heard the word hot pot now, and shook his head decisively: "Change to something else." ”

Zhao Jinzhou glanced at her with lowered eyes, and said, "Then you say." ”

"Whatever, you can do it." She replied absentmindedly.

“……”

Entering the elevator, Zhao Jinzhou raised his hand and tapped her forehead, and his voice was low: "Hurry up and cheer up and make a decision." ”

Xu Chenyin raised his hand to cover his forehead, rubbed it, and said in a low tone: "Don't hit people." ”

"Can you come back to your senses otherwise?"

"Why can't I go back......?"

The two walked out of the elevator without saying a word, and as soon as they got out of the unit corridor, Zhao Jinzhou took the opportunity to hug Xu Chenyin's shoulders and said in a low voice: "Angry?" ”

"Nope." Xu Chenyin said as she wanted to break free from his embrace: "Brother, can you not do this." ”

"Which one?" Zhao Jinzhou pretended not to understand.

“……”

Xu Chenyin was silent for a moment, reached out and tapped the back of his hand, and reminded, "Take it away." ”

Zhao Jinzhou pulled his lower lip: "Mumbled, your brother is very hard, you should be more considerate and considerate of your brother." ”

"Where are you struggling? Is it hard to manage or hard to train? ”

The reason why Xu Chenyin said this was because she had the honor to follow Zhao Jinzhou to the company and witnessed the process of Zhao Jinzhou reprimanding his subordinates with a calm face.

That was the first time she saw Zhao Jinzhou angry.

It's very different from the usual way of laughing with her, in short, it's scary.

This also led to the fact that in some major matters, she really didn't dare to go against Zhao Jinzhou more.

For example, moving......

She can only find some excuses to delay now.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lower her eyebrows in frustration.

"Brainstorming is also hard." Zhao Jinzhou said, stretched out his hand and compared three in front of her, and said a little proudly: "Guess how big the list I negotiated today?" ”

Xu Chenyin's attention was diverted, and he said guessingly: "Three million? ”

"Three million still use your brother to shoot?"

Zhao Jinzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and pinched her cheeks: "Who do you look down on?" ”

"The thirty million?"

Xu Chenyin brushed his hand away and guessed again.

"Further up." Zhao Jinzhou said with a smile.

“……”

Xu Chenyin was stunned, his mouth grew into an "O" shape, and he asked in disbelief: "Is it 300 million?" ”

Zhao Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Guess right, there is a reward." ”

Xu Chenyin didn't come back to his senses for a long time, thinking about what the concept of that number was.

"What do you want?"

"I'll take it slowly."

The moonlight poured down, stretching the two figures side by side for a long time.

Ji Yan sat in the car, silently watching the two intimate figures walk away, his eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't react for a while.

It wasn't until he lowered the window and the hot wind blew into the car that the deadly feeling of suffocation barely subsided.

He relieved himself and tried to take out the cigarette case from the console, but there was nothing, and then he remembered that because he was in a hurry, he forgot to buy the cigarette.

Thinking of the purpose of his arrival so late, he couldn't help but snort lightly.

He thought she would be very disappointed, but it turned out that her life was the same as always with him and without him.
