I want
you The two people passed each other.
After coming out of the building to the subway station, Chen Jing'an recalled the conversation in the office. The lesson learned from Shen Lie's words might be Qin Yinian's ex-girlfriend.
She knew that Qin Yinian had several girlfriends before her, but she didn't know how they broke up. She just didn't know that one of them had reached the stage of meeting her parents and discussing marriage.
Why did you split up? Family reasons.
If it wasn't a relationship issue, how much of that relationship would you still have up to now? Ruan Ling often said that she was terrible at being calm and rational when it came to love, but in this matter, she couldn't help but not mind.
As said on the phone, Qin Yinian returned to the capital a few days later. He got off the plane and came to see Chen Jing'an. He was so tired and tired. He leaned against the car, opened his coat, hugged Chen Jing'an in his arms, and rested his chin on her shoulder, feeling comfortable. He sighed: "Let me hug you for a while, I came to see you before I even got home."
Chen Jing'an raised his head and asked seriously, "Isn't this bad?"
"It's not good, I didn't hug you enough . It doesn't matter." Qin Yinian smiled and said, "I'm not the only son in the family, so it doesn't matter whether I go back or not."
The two of them were eating together. Halfway through the meal, Chen Jing'an mentioned his ex-girlfriend, and Qin Yinian shook his chopsticks. He was quickly covered up by a smile and asked her why she suddenly remembered to ask these things.
Chen Jing'an stopped, his eyes clear and calm: "I'm just curious. Is it inconvenient to talk about it?"
"It's not inconvenient to talk about it. I just feel that it is all in the past. If you don't mention it, I will almost forget it," Qin Yi Nian took a sip of water, "How should I put it, it's not my first love. I was dating someone in college. At that time, I was a young boy. I felt stupid and thought I should show it to my family."
"We broke up because my parents objected. "
No, the two of us are not suitable."
"Who initiated the breakup?" Chen Jing'an asked.
Qin Yinian put his arms on the table and smiled with squinted eyes: "Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more interested in me? I just asked my ex-girlfriend such a shocking question. I don't know if I should be happy."
Chen Jing'an Stunned: "Did I ask too many questions?"
"It was because I asked too few questions before. I'm not used to it yet." Qin Yinian picked up some food for her. "I mentioned breaking up. I know what you are thinking. I'm not used to it." We have been separated for several years, and it will never be over. "
"No one can compare to you here."
Chen Jing'an clenched her chopsticks, staring at his face, and vaguely felt that Xue Tian was taking something out of his pocket. The boy who had taken out the hot water bottle was still there, so she felt a little more at ease and nodded her head.
Qin Yinian raised his eyebrows and said, "I will attend a business event with you tonight. My eldest brother is here and I want you to meet him first. Even though he is a businessman and has some artistic qualities, he must like you very much."
"As long as you will If eldest brother joins the team, half of our problems will be solved."
Chen Jing'an hesitated: "Let's forget it. We'll talk about it later. I'm not ready yet."
"When will you be ready?" My elder brother is a nice person. If you feel uncomfortable then, let's leave early."
Chen Jing'an looked at his determined expression, thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
It's always got to this point, isn't it?
-If
Chen Jing'an had known in advance that Shen Lie would be there, she would not have come. But Qin Yinian had already held her hand, and when the two of them stood still, facing the eyes of Qin Yuanming and Shen Lie, the matter was already done. foregone conclusion.
The scene was different from what Qin Yinian had imagined, and the discomfort lasted only a moment. He didn't think much, so he introduced to Qin Yuanming: "Brother, this is Jing'an, Chen Jing'an, I mentioned it to you."
Then he turned to Chen Jing'an: " Jing'an, this is my eldest brother."
He mentioned it, but didn't mention that he would introduce it tonight.
Qin Yuanming is good at communication and has a thorough approach to everything. He reached out to Chen Jing'an and said, "Ms. Chen, hello, Qin Yuanming. I heard him mention it many times, and this time I finally met him in person."
"Hello, brother." Chen Jing'an responded, she felt Shen Yuanming The fierce gaze didn't feel good, and there might be a bit of teasing hidden under the dark eyes.
Qin Yuanming took the initiative to introduce Shen Lie. As soon as he opened his mouth, the man beside him said lightly: "We know each other."
"Mr. Shen and Miss Chen know each other?" Qin Yuanming was a little surprised.
Chen Jing'an looked at Shen Lie with calm eyes: "We've met a few times."
Shen Lie seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Qin Yinian put his hand on Chen Jing'an's shoulder: "It's a long story. Before I could thank Mr. Shen for his help a few days ago, Jing'an told me and said thank you very much."
"It's a small matter."
"In the meantime. Mr. Shen seems to think it's a trivial matter," Qin Yinian said calmly.
Shen Lie's eyes flashed, he paused briefly, and asked, "The feedback from Bincheng was full of praise for Second Young Master Qin. He praised him for his hard work, running around, and being extremely busy."
"That's right, Anian. He is still young, so he should put more thought into it, and thanks to Mr. Shen's appreciation, he is now something of a figure." Qin Yuanming said with a smile.
Qin Yinian couldn't bear to hear his eldest brother's compliments to Shen Lie, but now that he was being favored by others, he couldn't show it no matter how unhappy he was.
Chen Jing'an was thoughtful.
Her thoughts were lost for a moment, and a cold light flashed through her peripheral vision. She looked closely. Shen Lie raised his hand and slowly adjusted the cuffs. The cuffs were clearly marked with the cufflinks she and Ruan Ling had given them. They were mechanically designed, small and delicate, and could be found on the tips of her little fingers. Rubbed over the edges.
Slowly, intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Jing'an's breathing stagnated. She couldn't imagine whether he would really wear it. It was not very valuable, at least for attending such a formal event, it seemed a little shabby.
"With such a busy schedule, does Mr. Qin have time to spend with his girlfriend?" Shen Lie asked.
The problem suddenly changed. The other three people were all surprised to varying degrees. Qin Yinian buttoned up his suit jacket and looked at Chen Jing'an: "It's okay. We at Jing'an have always been considerate and supportive of my work. Although I'm busy, She never gets angry when she fails to take care of her. "
"Young Master Qin has a good girlfriend."
"I think so too." Qin Yinian has always been satisfied with Chen Jing'an, who is obedient, sensible and not clingy.
Shen Lie smiled.
For some reason, Chen Jing's every word from Shen Lie can make Chen Jingxin tremble. Under that lazy, elegant skin, there is an indescribable evil intention. He lowers his eyes, raises his eyes, or just slightly twitches his lip line. It can be a signal to release bad intentions.
Qin Yuanming called the waiter and put down his glass: "Mr. Shen, do you mind if I have a few words with Anian alone? I have something to explain at work."
"Please."
Qin Yinian squeezed Chen Jing'an's hand: "Wait for me "I'll be back soon. Don't get lost."
"Okay."
Chen Jing'an tried his best to smile.
When the two left, only Shen Lie and Chen Jing'an were left. When Qin Yinian's figure completely disappeared, she met Shen Lie's eyes unexpectedly. She suddenly didn't know what identity or position she was facing him. A stranger he had met a few times, Chen Jing'an had received his help, or he was just Qin Yinian's girlfriend.
"Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." I didn't know how to face it, so I simply didn't want to face it. Chen Jing'an casually gave a reason.
"Miss Chen." Shen Lie stopped her.
Chen Jing'an paused, and could even feel the stiffness of every bone in her back. She closed her eyes, reluctantly, and turned around as if resigned to her fate. Her face was tense: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen Lie looked at it . she.
The new dress she is wearing must have been made by Qin Yinian. It is light green, and the fabric is as thin as a veil. It has a lining of the same color inside, which is transparent but not leaking, like the mist rising in the misty rain season in the south of the Yangtze River. The tube top design, The skin on her shoulders and neck is as white as fat, and a pearl is falling from her earlobe.
Her eyes were bright, looking at him as well.
Shen Lie pulled his lips and chuckled, raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction: "The bathroom is over here."
"..."
Chen Jing'an clenched her fingers, secretly annoyed, and then said, "Thank you."
After saying that, he quickly lifted up his skirt . He walked away in a hurry, but he couldn't move faster with the high heels he didn't usually wear. He almost ran away, but then he heard a happy laughter behind him like a fatal blow.
—In
the middle of the journey, Qin Yinian went to the bathroom. When he was washing his hands, he noticed that the person next to him was Shen Lie. He didn't want to but had to take the initiative to say hello.
Qin Yuanming told him a lot, explaining clearly the current situation of the Qin family. Without the century-old foundation of the Shen family, and without the surging momentum of the new rich, since they are trying to survive in a crack, they must have both sides. Now the Qin family relies on the big tree of the Shen family. , no matter how many people ask for her, he should know what to say and do, instead of rashly introducing his little girlfriend today.
Childish and ridiculous.
He was not happy, but he listened to a few words.
Qin Yinian took the initiative to talk to him about the Bincheng project, appropriately mentioned that the Qin family played an indispensable role in this link, and wanted to do more.
Shen Lie washed his hands, wiped the water stains with paper, and looked at him in the bathroom mirror. His face was separated by cold and warm light, and he said calmly: "Second Young Master Qin has changed a lot."
These words fell on Qin. There was irony in Yinian's words. He looked a little embarrassed, but he still held back and said, "After all, no one can stay the same."
"That's right." His tone was light.
The cell phone rang at an inappropriate time. After seeing who was calling, Qin Yinian frowned and hung up. Within a few seconds, he called again. It seemed that he would keep calling if he didn't answer.
"Don't answer?"
"It's not that important." Qin Yinian hung up again.
Shen Lie balled up the paper and threw it into the trash can: "What if it's about work?"
"Sorry."
The call came again. Qin Yinian answered it with a sullen face. He was holding back his anger and even wanted to The relationship between the two was immediately severed, but a female voice over there asked, "When will you return to Bincheng? I don't mean to rush you, I just want to ask about the specific time."
"Is something wrong?" Qin Yinian replied coldly.
Shen Lie raised his eyes, looked at him in the mirror, looked away, and walked out.
"It's not a big deal. Do you still remember the sketches I drew for you? There are many of them that I have been gathering dust and dare not look at. Today I suddenly remembered to go to the attic to get them. I fell down and fractured my calf. I put a cast on it. I would like to ask if it is convenient for you. "Can you pick me up from the hospital when you come back?"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't think of anyone else."
Xu Ruoqing's tone was light and indifferent, as if she was not the one who was injured.
Qin Yinian felt pity: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you in the hospital now? Is there anyone around you?"
"Isn't it inconvenient for you? It's not a big deal. I've been coming here all the time, but this time it was an operation to break my leg. It's inconvenient."
Qin Yinian pinched the bridge of his nose and thought for a long time, finally he couldn't bear it and said, "Just wait, I'll come back tonight and send me the hospital address."
"No," Xu Ruoqing refused, "Just leave her. , She will inevitably not notice anything."
"She won't."
Chen Jing'an trusts him and will not be unhappy about this kind of thing.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yinian went out and told Chen Jing'an without changing his expression that there was an emergency in Bincheng and that he, as one of the main persons in charge, needed to go back immediately.
"Are you anxious?"
"It's urgent, and I don't want to, but I really can't help it. Jing'an, I'm sorry."
Chen Jing'an looked at him. Maybe in the past she would have nodded and told him not to worry and just do things, but this time A lot of things happened during that time, and she could not be as sure as before. She felt something was wrong, and asked softly: "Can you not go?"
Qin Yinian smiled: "What's wrong? You usually support my work, I I promise, I'll come back and spend more time with you after I've been busy for a while."
Chen Jing'an lowered his head, and when he raised his eyes again, there was a forced smile on his face: "Okay, you go, I'll take a taxi back to school."
" I'll send you off."
"No." Chen Jing'an said firmly, "Isn't it urgent?"
Qin Yinian looked at the time and realized that it would be easy to miss Chen Jing'an's flight, so he had to kiss her on the forehead in a hurry. Call yourself when you get to school.
"Okay."
Chen Jing'an had already hit the bottom.
Chen Jing'an didn't take a taxi. Her thoughts were very confused. She blew in the wind at the door for a while, looked down at her phone, and searched for the nearest subway station. It was 600 meters away, which was not too far away. She planned to walk there and blow in the wind to adjust her mood.
She put away her cell phone, and within two steps, a car drove slowly over. The passenger window rolled down, and a familiar face appeared: "Miss Chen."
It was Ji Hong.
The car stopped and Ji Hong got out of the car and asked her why she was alone and where she was going.
Chen Jing'an forced a smile: "I'm going back to school."
"It's getting late, and it's not safe for you to do this. So, if you can trust me, get in the car and I'll take you off." Ji Hong looks decent, approachable, and very decent. .
"No, it's too much trouble for you."
"It's not too much trouble. The event won't end for a while, and Mr. Shen won't need the car."
Chen Jing'an didn't say anything, and even bit his lower lip. Ji Hong thought he had been persuaded. When he wanted to continue to persuade, Chen Jing'an stared into his eyes with clear eyes, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Mr. Ji, can the bus be used for private use?"
Ji Hong was surprised for a moment and forgot what to say.
"Maybe Mr. Shen has a kind face, so Mr. Ji can decide when he can use the car." The voice was clean, calm and calm.
"Miss Chen..." Ji Hong experienced for the first time what a gentle knife is.
Chen Jing'an: "Because it took a long time, I didn't recognize Mr. Ji at first. Mr. Ji must have given me the umbrella that day."
Ji Hong's scalp felt tight and numb. Recognition was nothing. Since he appeared in front of Chen Jing'an, he knew that there was a possibility of recognition. But now, here, combined with the first two sentences, he felt abnormal.
He was wondering whether to answer yes or no.
"He just listens to others, why bother him." Shen Lie said leisurely, eyebrows raised slightly, it turns out that rabbits can bite people.
"Who can I embarrass? Can I embarrass you?" Chen Jing'an's eyes were calm and clear, like autumn frost in the morning.
"You can try." Shen Lie was eager to cooperate.
Chen Jing'an's expression remained unchanged: "You are the only one who makes things difficult for others. Mr. Shen, I just want to ask you what your intentions are?"
Something is wrong, everything is wrong.
She clearly saw the storm and felt it was right in front of her, but she couldn't see it, let alone touch it. She didn't even know what the intentions were in the center of the storm.
Shen Lie still stood still, looking down at her. A proud man like him, who was born to be a superior, was born with a lack of compassion. Maybe they didn't mean any harm. Humans would never care about the thoughts of ants. , their malice was also given early on.
Chen Jing'an was exhausted physically and mentally, she was in a bad mood, and her upbringing was not enough for her to restrain herself.
"Mr. Shen, what do you want to do?"
Shen Lie said without raising his eyelids: "I want you."
"Chen Jing'an."
"I want you."
Chen Jing'an was shocked: "You are crazy!"
