Chapter 35
Du Ruoheng's body stiffened, as if facing a formidable enemy.He tossed and turned at the corner of her mouth, all emotions were suppressed and turned into cautious temptations.
Du Ruoheng's back was stretched into a bow, his lips were tightly pressed, and he had no intention of letting go for a long time.Zhou Yanchi didn't dare to be tough, and called her Hengheng in a low voice.over and over again.
From 15-year-old Du Ruoheng to the present, more than ten years have passed, and the time when he appeared by her side has been nearly half of her life.
Outsiders thought he should be freer after the divorce.But in fact, it was more difficult for him to say goodbye to the past than her.Du Ruoheng didn't take anything with her when she left T City, leaving only traces of her in the entire Zhou residence.From the photo frames of the family of three on the desk to Zhou Titi's growth bit by bit, everything is related to her, and every bit of it is a memory to him.
But Du Ruoheng never missed it.When the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she didn't even bother to say goodbye.Since the divorce, Zhou Yanchi has never found any nostalgia in her eyes.Sometimes he feels that she really doesn't have any love for him anymore.It didn't make much difference whether he appeared in front of her or not.Very occasionally, her response to him may just be due to the habit that the two of them have developed in the past ten years.
He was afraid that one day she would quit even these habits.
He continued to comfort her softly, his voice was low and slow, and finally made her close her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling.The two seemed to stick to each other, and slowly interlocked their fingers.A waiter passed by here, and walked back lightly and wittily.Fortunately she didn't notice.After a long time, he finally touched her lips.
Du Ruoheng's ten fingers pinched hard into the back of his hand, instantly drawing ten red marks.He doesn't care.Tilting her head, taking a further step, her sobs disappeared between their lips and teeth.
His movements are always gentle and delicate, like holding snowflakes with both hands.Don't dare to go too deep, lest the other party wake up.After an unknown amount of time, Du Ruoheng finally pushed him away vigorously.
She quickly wiped away the water seeping from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, turned and left expressionlessly.
When the two returned to the box, Mother Du was being coaxed by her granddaughter into a smile.Zhou Titi saw the new scar on Zhou Yanchi's hand with sharp eyes, and said, "Dad, your hand!"
Zhou Yanchi played it lightly: "It's fine."
Mother Du glanced at the two sitting far apart, and said to Du Ruoheng, "Where do I live tonight?"
"You live at home."
"What about Yan Chi?"
"He will take care of Titi tonight and stay at home." Du Ruoheng's expression has regained his composure, "I'll be on duty tonight, and I'm going to live in Jingman."
Du's mother smiled half-smile: "Really on duty or fake on duty? Don't you want to see me say that on purpose?"
Du Ruoheng said, "You think too much."
The atmosphere between the two became tense again, and Zhou Titi suddenly interrupted loudly: "Grandma, I want to eat a shrimp dumpling from your side!"
Mother Du finally shifted her attention.
Du Ruoheng was indeed not on duty that night, she just didn't want to share the same room with the other two adults.When I arrived at the lobby of Jingman Hotel, I saw Kang Chen sitting on the sofa in the rest area, holding a glass of white water in his hand, with his legs folded together, smiling at her and waving from a distance.
When she walked over, Kang Chen pointed to the sofa opposite, and asked her casually: "It seems that you shouldn't be on shift tonight?"
"I have something to work overtime." Du Ruoheng said, "Are you sitting here alone?"
Kang Chen was as good as he was good: "Wait for you."
Du Ruoheng glanced at him, and Kang Chen immediately changed his words: "By the way, let's check the people's sentiments."
"Tonight doesn't seem to be the time for you to be on duty."
Kang Chen smiled again: "The door of the house is probably blocked by several people now, there is no way, I have a hard time returning home."
Du Ruoheng looked over, and he continued casually: "The old man passed away two days ago, and unfortunately he gave all the inheritance to me alone. You know that there is a father above me, and he already counts on a lot of things like this." It’s been a year, and I’ve been thinking about how to make me give up automatically these two days.”
Du Ruoheng opened his mouth and closed it again.Kang Chen took a sip of water, observed her expression, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to ask, isn't there a brother above me? I'm not the eldest grandson of the eldest house, so where is my turn?"
"..."
Kang Chen's tone was relaxed: "Because no matter how much Kang Zaicheng favors him, in the final analysis he is just an illegitimate child."
"..."
The grievances and grievances of the previous generation of the Kang family are more complicated than those of the Zhou family.Kang Zaicheng and his wife got married in a business relationship, and soon after they got married, they didn't return home at night.Later, I met a woman at a party, and the two hit it off.Half a year later, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to Kang Shen more than nine months later. At the same time, she died on the spot due to massive bleeding.Mrs. Kang learned about this a year later, she was pregnant with Liujia at that time, she was emotionally excited and eventually gave birth prematurely, and Kang Chen was born eight months into her pregnancy.
Du Ruoheng's twists and turns sounded like fantasy stories, and he was speechless for a while.Kang Chen's smile did not diminish: "Actually, it is understandable for some people to misunderstand. After all, I lived abroad with my mother not long after I was born, and I just returned to China a few years ago. Kang Zai has become a defender of Kang Shen. It is understandable to spread rumors to confuse people these years. .”
"Then why did you come to City S?"
Kang Chen said without changing his expression, "Because neither Kang Zaicheng nor Kang Shen can allow me to stay in T City after I come back."
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while.It was someone else's business, and she had no way of judging it.
Du Ruoheng spent the whole night in the office, and after the morning meeting the next day, she called Manager Fu of the landscaping department and asked him politely for a work summary as the deputy general manager.Manager Fu, who is not confused after the new year, let out an oops and patted his forehead: "Look, I forgot about it. I've been too busy these two days. Seeing the end of the year, I have to conduct various green space inspections, and there are city halls. The relevant departments in the city came to check, and I haven't had time to write this yet."
Du Ruoheng endured all kinds of emotions, and smiled gently: "The day before yesterday, you said you could give it to me today at the latest."
"But the plan can't keep up with the changes. You should forgive me anyway."
"If so, when do you plan to give it to me?"
Manager Fu suddenly asked, "Has Manager Zhang from the Purchasing Department delivered it?"
"……not yet."
Manager Fu smiled and said, "Then I will hand it in when he does it. Is that all right?" He dialed the phone and left.
Du Ruoheng had nowhere to vent his anger, so he returned to the office and tore off the plastic cap of a gel pen to vent his anger.She needed to calm down. She didn't see anyone all morning, and she was halfway through reading the "Thick Black Studies" on the bookshelf. In the afternoon, Manager Fu knocked on her office door suddenly, and what she was holding in her hand was the relevant materials of the work summary.
Du Ruoheng was really surprised.What surprised her even more was that in the evening, manager Zhang from the purchasing department also handed in a work summary to her.Even his attitude is quite good, changing his tone of yin and yang during this period of time.Du Ruoheng held back all kinds of question marks and sent him to the door, but after a while Kang Chen knocked on the door, saw the materials in her hand, and smiled: "Those old guys are finally willing to obey?"
Du Ruoheng heard his implication and thanked him.
Kang Chen said: "It is inevitable to meet such people at work. You can't always be polite to them, and they won't be in awe of them. Generally, there are two ways to deal with them. One is to turn to them for help. people, such as spouses and parents. The other is to seek direct suppression from their superiors, such as me."
"Thank you so much."
Kang Chen leaned against the door with folded arms, raised his eyes and looked at her: "If you really thank me, then just do me a favor."
"what?"
"Kang Zaicheng sent people to the hotel to monitor me these two days, you help me avoid them and leave Jingman."
Half an hour later, the two left quietly through a back door of the hotel.Kang Chen drove, choosing to turn on streets with heavy traffic.Sitting in the passenger seat, Du Ruoheng saw in the rearview mirror that there was a black car following not far or near.
She asked what they were trying to do.
Kang Chen still smiled: "Then I don't know. Maybe it's because they want to make money and kill themselves. Are you afraid?"
That being said, Kang Chen managed to get rid of it later.It was already the time when the lanterns came on, and the two discussed and found a health-preserving restaurant for dinner.While Kang Chen was parking the car, Du Ruoheng received a call from Zhou Yanchi.
On the phone, his tone was calm and brief, he only told her that the home was almost ready, and if she went home now, it would be just in time for dinner.
Du Ruoheng told him directly that I won't go back and you can eat by yourself.
Zhou Yanchi paused for a while.Ask: "Are you with Kang Chen now?"
Du Ruoheng said that this has nothing to do with you, and if there is anything else, I will hang up.
Zhou Yanchi asked directly: "Do you have a crush on Kang Chen?"
Du Ruoheng was noncommittal and didn't even answer him.She watched Kang Chen push the door in and was about to hang up when she heard the other end say, "You were not on duty last night. Besides, Kang Chen also stayed in Jing Man all night."
Du Ruoheng's tone was instantly cold: "Are you following me?"
"I won't follow you." He was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "It's just that Kang Zaicheng called me this afternoon."
Du Ruoheng fiddled with the teacup in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "What did you say on the phone? Or what did you think?"
"Do you want to say that you think I've been with Kang Chen for a long time, and that he looks good and his family background is not bad, so I didn't go home last night because I didn't work overtime, but because I wanted to date Kang Chen for a whole night ?”
"..."
"Or you've already established the fact that I'm dating him, and you think we'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't do something wrong all night, don't you?"
"..."
Du Ruoheng said coldly: "Zhou Yanchi, don't say that you are not qualified now, even if we have not divorced, what I did is no different from what you did. You still have no reason to question me."
"Separation of body and mind is just for entertainment. Isn't this your own concept all along?"
Zhou Yanchi was still holding the phone, but Du Ruoheng had already hung up.
Outside the window, the night falls, and thousands of houses are lit.He stood on the balcony, maintaining the posture of hanging up the phone for a long time, until Zhou Titi ran over and grabbed his free hand: "Dad, eat."
Zhou Yanchi lowered his head and looked at his daughter for a while before subconsciously responding: "Okay, let's eat."
Du Ruoheng put the phone into the bag, looked up.Her fingers were trembling slightly, and she took a deep breath, trying her best to avoid the gaffe that was about to be uncontrollable.Kang Chen took a seat opposite her, looked over, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"fine."
After that, she couldn't taste it all the time.She basically didn't listen to what Kang Chen said, and it was difficult for her to give correct answers to the questions he threw.She also didn't notice that all the dishes served on the table were in line with her taste. In fact, she simply stopped at the end, resting her forehead with one hand, and poking the chopsticks in the plate with the other.Kang Chen finally gave up making her happy, he raised his hand and called the waiter: "Pay the bill."
During this dinner, Du Ruoheng raised his head to look at him for the first time, Kang Chen smiled at her: "You are in a bad mood, shall we go to the bar for a drink?"
Kang Chen found a bar with a quiet environment, but Du Ruoheng was still reticent.Her drinking strength is mediocre, but she ordered a strong cocktail tonight.Before she raised her glass, Kang Chen pressed the rim of the glass: "I called you here, but I didn't want you to get drunk."
His gaze was very soft under the light, and Du Ruoheng asked bluntly: "Will you send me home safely after I'm drunk?"
Kang Chen choked, "Let me think about it."
Du Ruoheng put down his glass and turned around to leave. Kang Chen dragged her back to the bar, dumbfounding: "Yes, I will. You drink, and I'll be right here with you. I promise you won't be hurt when you wake up the next day , okay?"
Du Ruoheng really sat back in silence, while Kang Chen could only smile wryly.He seldom does things that are not sure, and he will not easily take the back seat, whether it is career or relationship, but anyway, the role he is playing at this moment is really not very optimistic.
Kang Chen held his chin in both hands, leaned on the bar, looked at Du Ruoheng with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and let out a long sigh.
Du Ruoheng ignored him at all.She was very quiet, just took small sips without stopping, so the glass of wine quickly drained.She then asked the bartender for a second and third glass.Kang Chen couldn't stop him, and watched her get drunk, her eyes gradually closed, and finally lay on the edge of the bar, as if she had fallen asleep.
He sent two men who pretended to help, helped her up, touched a little water in the corner of her eyes, and looked again, Du Ruoheng's face was covered with tears.
Kang Chen let out another long sigh.
He helped her into the car, and Du Ruoheng was very cooperative throughout the process.Then she suddenly opened her eyes when he was fastening her seat belt, and warned with a blank face: "Kang Chen, if you dare to take advantage of others, I will kill your whole family."
Articulation is actually quite clear.Just fell asleep again soon.Kang Chen's whole body stiffened for a moment, and he coughed helplessly.
Kang Chen didn't send Du Ruoheng back to her home because of Du's mother who was living in S city.It was also inconvenient to send Jing Man back, so the car made a turn on the road and finally took her to a nearby hotel.
When he was pouring water for her in the room, Du Ruoheng's phone rang, and he took it out for her, and it showed Zhou Yanchi on it.
Kang Chen thought for a while, picked it up, and said something to Mr. Zhou.
Zhou Yanchi calmly warned: "This is Ah Heng's call."
Kang Chen said: "She was drunk and fell asleep, and now she can't answer the phone. If Mr. Zhou has something to say, I'll wait for her to wake up and help pass it on."
"Where are you now?"
Kang Chen responded politely: "President Zhou, why don't I say it frankly, she doesn't want to see you now."
There was silence for a moment, and the voice was low and majestic: "Don't touch her."
Thinking of Du Ruoheng's warning just now, Kang Chen rubbed his forehead and sighed silently again.When he spoke again, his tone was gentle and smiling: "It's my freedom to do what I do. It's also Du Ruoheng's freedom to choose what to do. Mr. Zhou, you are already divorced, and you are no longer fit to intervene."
Zhou Yanchi's voice seemed to be picked up from the coldness of the eighteenth layer of hell: "Kang Chen, you can't move."
Kang Chen smiled: "I want to try it."
Du Ruoheng woke up the next day with a splitting headache, and reflexively went to touch the phone. When he checked the time, he found that it had been turned off.
She sat up clutching her forehead, and within a minute of turning on the phone, Mother Du's call came in.
Du Ruoheng frowned and answered, almost in a desperate tone: "Where did you go all night? There was no one in sight, and the phone couldn't be reached! Do you know that Yan Chi left S with Titi early this morning?" Market? When he left, his face was quite bad, did you quarrel with him again!"
Du Ruoheng finally realized that she was in a strange hotel. She was the only one in the well-decorated room, and at the same time her clothes were intact.
Du Ruoheng paused for a moment to realize Du's mother's meaning, his face darkened immediately, and he responded in a cold voice: "He's going to do his own thing, what's the matter with me." He hung up immediately after not speaking.
Zhou Yanchi was silent all the way back to T City, even Zhou Titi could sense his absent-mindedness.The father and daughter were waiting at the terminal, and Zhou Titi touched his forehead, asking herself if her father had a fever.
Zhou Yanchi came back to his senses, touched his daughter's forehead to make her happy, and responded that his father was fine.After a while, he received a call from Su Yun, frowned and didn't answer, waiting for the phone to hang up automatically.
Zhou Titi saw it with sharp eyes and asked him, "Who is Su Yun?"
"A friend of Papa's."
"Girlfriend?"
"Female friend."
"Then why don't you take it?"
"..."
Zhou Titi asked suddenly: "You won't marry anyone other than your mother, will you?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "Yes."
Zhou Titi asked again: "Did you quarrel with your mother last night?"
"..."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a moment, stretched out his hand, pulled Zhou Titi's hat to cover his eyes, and said in a solemn voice, "Children don't ask questions about adults."
Zhou Titi flipped the hat back with her arms, and said to him: "I know why my mother quarreled with you. She doesn't like you looking for other women." After speaking, she added, "I don't like you looking for other women either."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while: "Mother told you?"
"On Thursday she was on the phone with Auntie Su Qiu in the bedroom, and I heard it outside." Zhou Titi said, "Mom said so, and Xi Ruichen said so before. Do you really find a lot of women? Is it because mother This is why I divorced you? Is it all your father's fault?"
"..."
"Why are you looking for another woman?" The child's eyes were innocent and open, looking up at him all the time, "I also heard from my mother that she didn't want to kiss you because she thought you were unclean. Why did she feel unclean? Also Because you're looking for another woman?"
For the rest of the journey, Zhou Yanchi's face remained as cold as ice.He sent Zhou Titi back to Zhou's house and back to Yuanheng. Zhang Yaran looked at his face from a distance and knew that he would be sad in the next few days, but she still had to say: "Miss Su Yun is here."
Zhou Yanchi was not in the mood: "Just say I'm not here and send her away."
"But she has come every day these days, and she is waiting in your office now."
Zhou Yanchi stopped and frowned, his eyes almost dismissed the female secretary who was ineffective on the spot.Zhang Yaran sweated all over his body, and heard Su Yun's soft voice from not far away: "Yan Chi?"
After a while, the two sat down in the meeting area of the office.Sitting opposite her, Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows and ordered Zhang Yaran to add more tea.Su Yun looked at his face, smiled and said, "Didn't sleep well recently? You look very tired."
Zhou Yanchi said he was busy recently.
Su Yun said, "Are you busy? But I heard from your secretary that you can't find anyone everywhere."
Zhou Yanchi glanced at Zhang Yaran again, and the latter's knees gave way and he almost knelt on the ground.Zhou Yan remained noncommittal, and asked Su Yun how Shen Chu's help was going.
Su Yun looked at him, her tone soft and pitiful: "It didn't go very well. The place I'm looking for is too remote, and I haven't really decided yet. If you were here, it should be easier."
Zhou Yanchi smiled: "Don't worry. You should trust Shen Chu's ability to handle affairs."
No matter what he asked, he avoided it calmly, and finally made Su Yun silent.She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then finally raised her head, looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to see Du Ruoheng?"
Zhou Yanchi still did not respond.Su Yun said again: "She has gotten very close to Kang Chen recently."
After a while Zhou Yanchi finally said, "I know."
"I heard," Su Yun pursed her lips slightly, "She was recently promoted from Kang Chen to Jing Man's deputy general manager."
Zhou Yanchi remained expressionless, and casually flipped through a magazine on the coffee table.Su Yun finally couldn't help it: "What's so good about Du Ruoheng that you deserve to treat her like this? Since she has already moved on, why do you want to be open?"
Zhou Yanchi responded without emotion: "Su Yun, this is my private matter."
"Du Ruoheng can't see that you are intimate with other women outside. She doesn't understand that you are just acting on the occasion. I know you have never been attracted to those women. Only I understand your thoughts." Su Yun's fingers were white, and she went to catch His cuff, "Yan Chi, we have known each other since we were young, and I know that you also know what I have been thinking."
Zhou Yan remained motionless for a while.It took a long time before I came back to my senses, and when I spoke in a low voice, "You also think that she doesn't want me to be intimate with other women outside."
At one o'clock in the morning at night, after Shen Chu was on duty, he just pushed open the door of the box on the second floor of the Tea Metropolitan Hall, and was almost knocked over by the overwhelming piano playing inside.
Shen Chu smiled when he saw it: "Is this the middle of the night asking me to come here to listen to the concert?"
Zhou Yanchi finally threw the score of "Hummingbird" aside, sat down leaning on the piano feet, rubbed his eyebrows and pointed to the side: "Sit."
"Okay." Shen Chu nodded and said with a smile, "I found that you are really a masochistic type. The more you are in a bad mood, the more you will be like this. If you don't sit on the sofa, you have to sit on the floor."
After speaking, the person still sat down.There were several bottles of brandy next to them, and the two of them got bored together, and only half a bottle was left before Zhou Yanchi said, "You can help her with Su Yun's affairs."
"Even if I arrange the lot for her in the downtown square, she won't be satisfied. What can I do?" Shen Chu said, "She has all her ulterior motives on you, and she is not someone who gives up so easily. Will she be willing to push her to me?"
Zhou Yanchi looked very impatient.
Shen Chu persuaded him: "Why are you so unfeeling to her again? Put yourself in Su Yun's place, with Su Yun's character, she sees that you are very tolerant and generous to other women, but you reject her thousands of miles. How can you let her Think? She is a person who can't grab it and never finishes it. You should be grateful to her for not throwing acid on you two at the wedding when you were able to get married."
Zhou Yanchi said they were different.
"Why are they different? I think they are all the same." Shen Chu said with a smile, "Anyway, you don't love any of them."
"..."
"Hey, do you think that Su Yun has an emotional admiration for you? Su Yun's relationship with you before marriage caused Du Ruoheng to almost tear down the house. If you help her now, it's not guaranteed. Can Du Ruoheng peel your skin because of this?"
Zhou Yan held a cold attitude: "Can't you talk well?"
Shen Chu felt aggrieved and said, "I'm not helping you analyze the problem. You see, Su Yun is attracted to you, so you have to avoid her. No matter what the reason is, that's what you did anyway. What about other women? , you also know that their minds are not simple, and both parties should treat it as a deal for each to get what they need. Anyway, those women are basically messy scandals, and they can spread the nose and eyes after chatting at the reception. Even if it is only once in a while, this There are only two or three times in a few years that are true. For you, it can only be regarded as an embellishment, but for them, it is an opportunity. Both sides are happy. As long as the house is always quiet, you don’t think it’s wrong , anyway, you are absolutely loyal spiritually, and you are impeccable to Du Ruoheng, right?"
Zhou Yanchi's face was cold and he didn't say a word. After a long while, he said in a cold voice: "Am I not good enough for Du Ruoheng? Apart from this, how can I not rely on her?"
Shen Chu clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "So I think that Ms. Du Ruoheng is really a beautiful and intelligent woman. It's right that she never talked to you about this issue during marriage. I knew you wouldn't listen to it. Just divorce. Finally The wonderful thing is that after the divorce, I don't tell you the reason, let you guess, you pretend to be magnanimous in marriage, and other places pick on you, but in this respect, it's as if you really don't care, let you divorce Can't you guess life and death in the future? Maybe all she's thinking these days is, ouch, guess it, it's better to guess it with white hair, why can't you guess it to death. "
Zhou Yanchi was poked at the sore spot one after another, and his eyes seemed to want to gouge out Shen Chu's entire skin.
"Why stare at me, if you have the ability to stare at your ex-wife."
"I told you before that no woman is truly tolerant of a spouse's infidelity, whether physically or emotionally, it makes no difference at all. You don't listen to me. You are the most opinionated person I have ever met .”
Shen Chu continued slowly: "If you really think there is a difference, then don't worry about the fact that Du Ruoheng and Kang Chen didn't come home overnight. You've been divorced for almost two years, so where do you have the qualifications to worry about it. Besides, maybe Du Ruoheng doesn't have feelings for Kang Chen, but he just likes his appearance. It's no different from your occasional pastime outside."
Zhou Yanchi went back to the company and said no more than ten sentences in one morning.At the company's regular meeting on Monday, several directors were arguing, but he remained silent.It wasn't until the two sides were about to fight that he raised his eyelids and casually threw the folder on the desk.
Everyone looked at him in silence.Zhou Yanchi stood up with a calm expression: "The meeting is over."
Zhou Yanchi worked very well throughout the day.He didn't seem to be affected by the hangover from the night before, and he always thought quickly and clearly, basically solving all the matters dragged down from the previous week in one day.After he sent Kang Jae-sung away in the afternoon, he personally sent the person in charge of a cooperation project out of the building in the evening. The latter shook hands with him and smiled sincerely: "It's rare to have such a happy cooperation. Why don't we hold a banquet tonight, Zhou?" It's always a face, let's have a drink together?"
Zhou Yanchi thought for a moment, and expressed his approval without expression.
The venue for the dinner was set at Mingdu.In this place that only adults are allowed to enter, while there is wine, there are naturally beauties.Zhou Yanchi sat on the main seat, and the beauty beside him was the best in the Tea City.The other party toasted a glass of wine with rolling eyes, the sweetness of the language was just right, and he did not refuse.The person in charge of the cooperation project sat on the opposite sofa and chatted with him with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhou is currently single?"
Zhou Yanchi's posture was vague and he did not deny it.He was always lukewarm, and the other party couldn't figure out what he really meant, so he could only greet him with a smile: "It's good to be single, it's good to be single, and you can be free. Or—" the voice turned around for a long time, pointing at the most beautiful woman in the box , "Our Ms. Yao is a high-achieving student of the Dance Academy. She looks sweet, has a polite conversation, and has a good figure. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"
After a few seconds of silence in the box, these words seemed to have finally won Zhou Yanchi a slight smile: "I believe you can like it, so it shouldn't be hard to say."
Everything you need is available in the box.Beauty, lighting, a little drunkenness, and a melodious sound.Zhou Yanchi was neither enthusiastic nor refused.At nine o'clock, the party was not over yet. He looked at the time, subconsciously pulled out his phone, and opened the interface for sending short messages. Before typing the three familiar words, he came back to his senses.
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a long time looking at the phone screen, and finally put the phone away again.
Miss Yao came over shyly and invited to dance, her cheeks were slightly pink.Zhou Yanchi glanced at her and replied flatly, "I'm not good at this."
Miss Yao blushed even more, and then quietly and obediently leaned beside him.Her slightly lowered head looked a little youthful, with a youthful bewilderment.Zhou Yanchi glanced at her, paused, and suddenly pinched her chin.
She raised her head slightly under his movement, and saw his deep and bottomless eyes.His face was getting closer and closer, she subconsciously closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.
So close that she could almost feel his breath.Not far away, the person in charge who was holding the beauty's waist and dancing with the music suddenly smiled and said: "This is the beginning? Mr. Zhou, room 1303, the key is on the table, or you and Miss Yao go up now?"
Zhou Yanchi's eyes regained clarity, and he slowly let go of the person in his hand.After a while, Su Dan said: "No need."
When Zhou Yanchi came home at ten o'clock that night, Zhou Titi was still awake, but she was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open.She grabbed the corner of her father's clothes and murmured, "Did you go out to socialize again tonight?"
"Who taught you that word?"
"housekeeper."
Zhou Yanchi stroked her hair: "Don't wait so late next time. You haven't grown up yet, and your father is an adult, so your schedule is different. You must fall asleep before nine o'clock. Dad can assure you, Will always come home safe and sound."
"But the housekeeper said, that's how my mother waited for you before. Now she's not at home."
Zhou Yanchi was silent for a moment, and kissed his daughter's forehead lightly.Finally said: "Mom is also an adult. And you haven't grown up yet. You need to sleep and grow bones, huh?"
Zhang Yaran feels that the boss has changed a lot recently.
Or to be precise, a return to normal may be more appropriate.Zhou Yanchi's performance during this period of time is a bit too much to be described as diligent and caring for the people, but he has indeed begun to focus on public affairs.The specific matters can be reflected in many aspects such as his staying in Yuanheng for more than ten hours a day, his continuous suppression of Kang Zaicheng, and further implementation of Yuanheng's reform strategy.In addition, and more importantly, Zhou Yanchi never visited City S until the Spring Festival.
This is indeed a question worthy of study.Several secretaries in the secretary's room have discussed it countless times.But Zhang Yaran must not be so stupid as to ask him why.She could only read his thoughts between the lines, but Zhou Yanchi was calm enough when he wanted to restrain his emotions, so she couldn't figure out whether the divorced couple was a moment of anger or a real old age after thinking about it for a long time. Contact each other.
Until Yuanheng came to the year-end settlement, Zhang Yaran gave priority to sorting out Du Ruoheng's shareholder dividends for this year as usual, and then she ran to knock on the office door and reported to her boss excitedly, saying that the boss is your ex-wife, oh no Miss Du Ruoheng's. A copy has come out, do you think I should notify her now or you will notify her later, please give me instructions.Zhou Yan held his head and said without raising his head: "You can come here as you used to. What are you telling me about this kind of thing?"
Since the phone call that night, Du Ruoheng had no contact with Zhou Yanchi for more than two months.
The relationship between them has always been maintained by Zhou Yanchi. Since Du Ruoheng knew about his infidelity in marriage, he no longer took the initiative towards him.Now that he is unwilling to take the initiative to lift the rope between the two of them, it will be easy to cut them off.
It's hard for Du Ruoheng to describe the feeling in his heart.It would be a lie to say that there was no loss, but at the same time I was relieved.It must be a hypocritical lie if a person can get rid of his stubborn nature if he is light and flirtatious.Du Ruoheng has always held this point of view, and now she has finally got proof.
Zhou Yanchi's nature is cold and cold, maybe she finally touched his bottom line this time.
Du Ruoheng went to soak in the hot spring with Su Qiu, and the two lay on their stomachs in the massage room for a massage. Su Qiu comforted her, saying that you were so disappointed. Just a little bit at the end.Or there is another thing, you are just relying on Zhou Yanchi and you are used to relying on him. He has always been able to surprise you, but this time he finally can't give you any more.
Du Ruoheng paused for a while, and said that he didn't know why he always felt a little bit unwilling.
Su Qiu said it was natural, Zhou Yanchi didn't act according to your wish, he cried bitterly and begged you for forgiveness, and at the same time, you didn't have time to beat him to the point of bleeding to relieve your depression, so you just say If you say such a light and fluttering sentence, and then people ignore you, it's like punching cotton, of course you are not reconciled.
Du Ruoheng went back to T City in early January because of Zhou Titi's endlessly crying requests.She deliberately avoided Zhou Yanchi, and conveyed this wish through Zhang Yaran. The latter asked the boss for instructions and replied that it was okay, and then said that he would send someone to pick up the plane.Du Ruoheng declined her politely, went to the kindergarten from the airport to pick up Zhou Titi, and the mother and daughter stayed in the hotel for two days.Zhou Titi kept trying to drag her back to Zhou's house, Du Ruoheng squatted down, showing a serious attitude towards her daughter for the first time.
She looked at her at the same level and said that mom doesn't want to see dad now, so don't make things difficult for mom, okay?
Zhou Titi calmed down, said yes obediently, and then asked if you were arguing.
Du Ruoheng said no.Zhou Titi asked, did your father make you angry?
Du Ruoheng thought for a while, and finally said the truth in a gentle tone: "Titi, mother and father have different ideas, and they can no longer live together in the future."
As expected, Du Ruoheng received a loud cry from Zhou Titi.
She cried so hard that she wanted to run out of the room to find her father willfully.Du Ruoheng held her in his arms, Zhou Titi struggled to get off the ground, Sapo rolled over again.An hour later, she was still crying with anger, her little face was crying unreasonably, and she didn't listen to Du Ruoheng's explanation.
Zhou Titi said that she only wants her mother and father to be together.
Du Ruoheng is not good at comforting frightened children, she has always been grateful for Zhou Titi's sensible and well-behaved.She has nothing to do with her daughter tonight, Zhou Titi is not tired, she is already tired, thinking why she said such a thing in the first place.Obviously, all the responsibility should be pushed on Zhou Yanchi's head.He directed this happy ending single-handedly, why should he be more comfortable than her.
Zhou Titi kept crying until midnight, and finally fell asleep reluctantly.After waking up, her small face was still wrinkled, and she ignored Du Ruoheng.Du Ruoheng had no choice but to take her out for a walk.The two sat down in an ice cream shop. Zhou Titi had just eaten two mouthfuls when her two calves kicked suddenly, slipped to the ground, and ran out without turning her head.
Du Ruoheng followed with a headache, and grabbed Zhou Titi's arm outside a clothing store.The momentum of the two was too great, and they failed to stop the car in time. Zhou Titi's small body bumped into a woman's body.
Du Ruoheng raised his head and saw the exquisite makeup of the other party. He felt familiar, and probably saw it vaguely somewhere.But she really didn't know each other, and was about to apologize politely, but Zhou Titi had already spoken before her, and raised her face and called to the other party, "Auntie Zhang Yaran."
The other party was carrying a handbag of various jewelry and clothes, and the embarrassment on his face flashed away.Du Ruoheng was surprised, before he could speak, he saw Zhou Yanchi not far behind the other party, who had put down the phone and was coming around the corner.
The moment Du Ruoheng came back to his senses, his eyes looked as if he wanted to cut Zhou Yan into pieces.
She stood there, not moving for a moment.If it wasn't covered by makeup, others would have noticed that her face was flushed.This was no longer an embarrassingly explainable situation, and she felt deeply humiliated.
She avoids and avoids, and she avoids encountering such scenes before the divorce.For a period of time, her depression was severe, and she was always suspicious that she would see Zhou Yanchi staying with some woman when she went out.She has always been educated to treat such a thing with arrogance, but if she encounters it, she has no way of knowing what level of arrogance is considered.In fact, when she now inevitably encounters this kind of scene, her first and last reaction is to slap Zhou Yanchi twice.
He embarrassed her like never before.It almost made her feel that all the psychological struggles she had done to him before were all a joke.
This man is obsessed with obsession, he has no moral values at all.
Zhou Yanchi met her eyes, and her eyes looked unusually bright.At the same time, his face was cold and his lips were slightly pursed, which was already a sign of Du Ruoheng's extreme anger.However, within a short time, before he made a move, she had already slightly moved her eyes away from him. At that moment, her expression was as calm as water, without a trace of emotion, like the dead silence after an extreme explosion.
Zhou Yanchi was dazzled by the sight, subconsciously took a step forward, and Zhou Titi had already swooped over and hugged his thigh.There were two packs of tears in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged, she looked up at him from bottom to top, and called daddy sobbing.
Du Ruoheng didn't even glance over her eyes. She smiled at the woman and asked gently, "You are Zhang Yaran? The person who picked up Titi from the kindergarten that day?"
The six eyes of the three people stared at Lan Yurou, making her hesitate to answer.Du Ruoheng continued: "I'm Titi's mother, surnamed Du. I heard that Miss Zhang invited Titi to dinner that night, and it happened to be noon now. As a return gift, why don't I invite you to lunch and ask again by the way?" You have a few questions."
Lan Yurou immediately turned her head to look at Zhou Yanchi, who had an inscrutable expression and did not respond for a long time.She wanted to refuse, but although Du Ruoheng's attitude was gentle, she could not refuse. In the end, Lan Yurou could only follow her passively.The four went to the dining area on the top floor of the shopping mall. Zhou Yanchi remained silent all the way, while Zhou Titi hugged his neck and whispered to him, "Dad, why don't you talk?"
When the four of them were seated, Du Ruoheng and Zhou Titi sat on one side, leaving Zhou Yanchi and Lan Yurou side by side on the opposite side.Du Ruoheng first politely invited Lan Yurou to order food. The latter seemed to have been greatly frightened, her body was stiff and at a loss, and finally she looked at Zhou Yanchi for help.The latter took the menu.He randomly ordered two, then Du Ruoheng took them over, asked Zhou Titi to order two, and finally sent the waiter away.
Such a combination of four people has nothing to say.Lan Yurou was completely Du Ruoheng's question and she answered it. It can be seen that she tried her best to keep calm, but she still couldn't hide her guilt.Zhou Yanchi ate very little and talked even less, until he simply put down his chopsticks and kept staring at Du Ruoheng.
Du Ruoheng was the only one in the audience talking and laughing happily.With a calm expression, she first asked about Lan Yurou's occupation, then learned that she had just switched to Suoyi Entertainment, and then asked how long Lan Yurou and Zhou Yanchi had known each other, how they met, and so on.Lan Yurou finally couldn't stand the interrogation, she interrupted her, and asked with some elements of revenge: "Why did Miss Du and Yan Chi divorce?"
Du Ruoheng put down the napkin and smiled, "I think he's dirty."
Du Ruoheng left T City that afternoon.Zhou Titi wanted to go to the airport with her. Du Ruoheng said softly that if you went to the airport with me, who would take you back? The two women came back after answering the phone, touched the back of Zhou Titi's head, and coaxed her to go home with Dad.
From the beginning to the end, she looked as usual and did not glance at Zhou Yanchi.As long as he is air, naturally he doesn't bother to pay attention to his long-lasting livid face.
Du Ruoheng thought about it all the way on the plane.She returned directly to Jing Man from the S city airport, just when Shang Kang Chen came to her to complain.He said that she wasn't here for the past two days, and he didn't know how much he suffered when he helped her replace the vice president position. They were just a few starlets, and because a song became popular by chance, the managers and their faces would be thrown into the sky. Staying here for only two days for a concert, the decoration of the presidential suite is worthless.Finally he wished them a speedy death.
Du Ruoheng smiled and asked him to calm down, saying that he would treat you to dinner at night, and return the favor of being drunk that night.
Kang Chen said: "Okay. What did you eat for lunch? You can't eat as much as lunch."
Du Ruoheng reported his name one by one, and Kang Chen said that it's not good for you to eat a lot at noon and eat a big meal at night, or let's change to a healthy way and go to the gym.
Du Ruoheng agreed without much thought, and the two changed their clothes and went to the gym together.Kang Chen looked gentle and thin, but his strength and speed should not be underestimated.He stood where he was, and Du Ruoheng tripped over his calf from the side at different angles, and he didn't trip for a long time.In the end she gave up and turned her head to leave, but Kang Chen said from behind, don't go, if you trip again, maybe I will fall down immediately.Isn't there a saying about the last straw? Why don't you insist so much.
He said it twice, and Du Ruoheng was successfully called back.This time she only touched her toe lightly, and Kang Chen fell down in response.
Du Ruoheng was finally teased to show a little smile.The two followed to run on the treadmill. Du Ruoheng was still not as good as Kang Chen, and her heart was beating violently after only two kilometers. When she received a call, she stopped the treadmill and picked it up. She was still out of breath when she gave a feed.
Kang Chen smiled and said that your physical strength is too weak and you can exercise with me later.
The other end of the phone didn't speak for a while, Du Ruoheng gave another hello.Then she finally sensed something was wrong, and glanced at the caller, it showed the words Zhou Yanchi.
Du Ruoheng spoke softly and asked him what's the matter.
Zhou Yanchi did not speak for a long time, and after a while, he hung up the phone silently.
An hour later, Kang Chen sent Du Ruoheng downstairs to her apartment, and watched the lights in her living room turn on before leaving.After watching his car go away by the window, Du Ruoheng turned off the light again. The room was pitch black, and she leaned on the sofa and slowly slid to the floor.She remained motionless, with her arms around her knees, always quiet.
After a while, she couldn't suppress a sob in her throat.After a while, she finally covered her face and cried loudly.
(End of this chapter)
Du Ruoheng's body stiffened, as if facing a formidable enemy.He tossed and turned at the corner of her mouth, all emotions were suppressed and turned into cautious temptations.
Du Ruoheng's back was stretched into a bow, his lips were tightly pressed, and he had no intention of letting go for a long time.Zhou Yanchi didn't dare to be tough, and called her Hengheng in a low voice.over and over again.
From 15-year-old Du Ruoheng to the present, more than ten years have passed, and the time when he appeared by her side has been nearly half of her life.
Outsiders thought he should be freer after the divorce.But in fact, it was more difficult for him to say goodbye to the past than her.Du Ruoheng didn't take anything with her when she left T City, leaving only traces of her in the entire Zhou residence.From the photo frames of the family of three on the desk to Zhou Titi's growth bit by bit, everything is related to her, and every bit of it is a memory to him.
But Du Ruoheng never missed it.When the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she didn't even bother to say goodbye.Since the divorce, Zhou Yanchi has never found any nostalgia in her eyes.Sometimes he feels that she really doesn't have any love for him anymore.It didn't make much difference whether he appeared in front of her or not.Very occasionally, her response to him may just be due to the habit that the two of them have developed in the past ten years.
He was afraid that one day she would quit even these habits.
He continued to comfort her softly, his voice was low and slow, and finally made her close her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling.The two seemed to stick to each other, and slowly interlocked their fingers.A waiter passed by here, and walked back lightly and wittily.Fortunately she didn't notice.After a long time, he finally touched her lips.
Du Ruoheng's ten fingers pinched hard into the back of his hand, instantly drawing ten red marks.He doesn't care.Tilting her head, taking a further step, her sobs disappeared between their lips and teeth.
His movements are always gentle and delicate, like holding snowflakes with both hands.Don't dare to go too deep, lest the other party wake up.After an unknown amount of time, Du Ruoheng finally pushed him away vigorously.
She quickly wiped away the water seeping from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, turned and left expressionlessly.
When the two returned to the box, Mother Du was being coaxed by her granddaughter into a smile.Zhou Titi saw the new scar on Zhou Yanchi's hand with sharp eyes, and said, "Dad, your hand!"
Zhou Yanchi played it lightly: "It's fine."
Mother Du glanced at the two sitting far apart, and said to Du Ruoheng, "Where do I live tonight?"
"You live at home."
"What about Yan Chi?"
"He will take care of Titi tonight and stay at home." Du Ruoheng's expression has regained his composure, "I'll be on duty tonight, and I'm going to live in Jingman."
Du's mother smiled half-smile: "Really on duty or fake on duty? Don't you want to see me say that on purpose?"
Du Ruoheng said, "You think too much."
The atmosphere between the two became tense again, and Zhou Titi suddenly interrupted loudly: "Grandma, I want to eat a shrimp dumpling from your side!"
Mother Du finally shifted her attention.
Du Ruoheng was indeed not on duty that night, she just didn't want to share the same room with the other two adults.When I arrived at the lobby of Jingman Hotel, I saw Kang Chen sitting on the sofa in the rest area, holding a glass of white water in his hand, with his legs folded together, smiling at her and waving from a distance.
When she walked over, Kang Chen pointed to the sofa opposite, and asked her casually: "It seems that you shouldn't be on shift tonight?"
"I have something to work overtime." Du Ruoheng said, "Are you sitting here alone?"
Kang Chen was as good as he was good: "Wait for you."
Du Ruoheng glanced at him, and Kang Chen immediately changed his words: "By the way, let's check the people's sentiments."
"Tonight doesn't seem to be the time for you to be on duty."
Kang Chen smiled again: "The door of the house is probably blocked by several people now, there is no way, I have a hard time returning home."
Du Ruoheng looked over, and he continued casually: "The old man passed away two days ago, and unfortunately he gave all the inheritance to me alone. You know that there is a father above me, and he already counts on a lot of things like this." It’s been a year, and I’ve been thinking about how to make me give up automatically these two days.”
Du Ruoheng opened his mouth and closed it again.Kang Chen took a sip of water, observed her expression, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to ask, isn't there a brother above me? I'm not the eldest grandson of the eldest house, so where is my turn?"
"..."
Kang Chen's tone was relaxed: "Because no matter how much Kang Zaicheng favors him, in the final analysis he is just an illegitimate child."
"..."
The grievances and grievances of the previous generation of the Kang family are more complicated than those of the Zhou family.Kang Zaicheng and his wife got married in a business relationship, and soon after they got married, they didn't return home at night.Later, I met a woman at a party, and the two hit it off.Half a year later, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to Kang Shen more than nine months later. At the same time, she died on the spot due to massive bleeding.Mrs. Kang learned about this a year later, she was pregnant with Liujia at that time, she was emotionally excited and eventually gave birth prematurely, and Kang Chen was born eight months into her pregnancy.
Du Ruoheng's twists and turns sounded like fantasy stories, and he was speechless for a while.Kang Chen's smile did not diminish: "Actually, it is understandable for some people to misunderstand. After all, I lived abroad with my mother not long after I was born, and I just returned to China a few years ago. Kang Zai has become a defender of Kang Shen. It is understandable to spread rumors to confuse people these years. .”
"Then why did you come to City S?"
Kang Chen said without changing his expression, "Because neither Kang Zaicheng nor Kang Shen can allow me to stay in T City after I come back."
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while.It was someone else's business, and she had no way of judging it.
Du Ruoheng spent the whole night in the office, and after the morning meeting the next day, she called Manager Fu of the landscaping department and asked him politely for a work summary as the deputy general manager.Manager Fu, who is not confused after the new year, let out an oops and patted his forehead: "Look, I forgot about it. I've been too busy these two days. Seeing the end of the year, I have to conduct various green space inspections, and there are city halls. The relevant departments in the city came to check, and I haven't had time to write this yet."
Du Ruoheng endured all kinds of emotions, and smiled gently: "The day before yesterday, you said you could give it to me today at the latest."
"But the plan can't keep up with the changes. You should forgive me anyway."
"If so, when do you plan to give it to me?"
Manager Fu suddenly asked, "Has Manager Zhang from the Purchasing Department delivered it?"
"……not yet."
Manager Fu smiled and said, "Then I will hand it in when he does it. Is that all right?" He dialed the phone and left.
Du Ruoheng had nowhere to vent his anger, so he returned to the office and tore off the plastic cap of a gel pen to vent his anger.She needed to calm down. She didn't see anyone all morning, and she was halfway through reading the "Thick Black Studies" on the bookshelf. In the afternoon, Manager Fu knocked on her office door suddenly, and what she was holding in her hand was the relevant materials of the work summary.
Du Ruoheng was really surprised.What surprised her even more was that in the evening, manager Zhang from the purchasing department also handed in a work summary to her.Even his attitude is quite good, changing his tone of yin and yang during this period of time.Du Ruoheng held back all kinds of question marks and sent him to the door, but after a while Kang Chen knocked on the door, saw the materials in her hand, and smiled: "Those old guys are finally willing to obey?"
Du Ruoheng heard his implication and thanked him.
Kang Chen said: "It is inevitable to meet such people at work. You can't always be polite to them, and they won't be in awe of them. Generally, there are two ways to deal with them. One is to turn to them for help. people, such as spouses and parents. The other is to seek direct suppression from their superiors, such as me."
"Thank you so much."
Kang Chen leaned against the door with folded arms, raised his eyes and looked at her: "If you really thank me, then just do me a favor."
"what?"
"Kang Zaicheng sent people to the hotel to monitor me these two days, you help me avoid them and leave Jingman."
Half an hour later, the two left quietly through a back door of the hotel.Kang Chen drove, choosing to turn on streets with heavy traffic.Sitting in the passenger seat, Du Ruoheng saw in the rearview mirror that there was a black car following not far or near.
She asked what they were trying to do.
Kang Chen still smiled: "Then I don't know. Maybe it's because they want to make money and kill themselves. Are you afraid?"
That being said, Kang Chen managed to get rid of it later.It was already the time when the lanterns came on, and the two discussed and found a health-preserving restaurant for dinner.While Kang Chen was parking the car, Du Ruoheng received a call from Zhou Yanchi.
On the phone, his tone was calm and brief, he only told her that the home was almost ready, and if she went home now, it would be just in time for dinner.
Du Ruoheng told him directly that I won't go back and you can eat by yourself.
Zhou Yanchi paused for a while.Ask: "Are you with Kang Chen now?"
Du Ruoheng said that this has nothing to do with you, and if there is anything else, I will hang up.
Zhou Yanchi asked directly: "Do you have a crush on Kang Chen?"
Du Ruoheng was noncommittal and didn't even answer him.She watched Kang Chen push the door in and was about to hang up when she heard the other end say, "You were not on duty last night. Besides, Kang Chen also stayed in Jing Man all night."
Du Ruoheng's tone was instantly cold: "Are you following me?"
"I won't follow you." He was silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "It's just that Kang Zaicheng called me this afternoon."
Du Ruoheng fiddled with the teacup in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "What did you say on the phone? Or what did you think?"
"Do you want to say that you think I've been with Kang Chen for a long time, and that he looks good and his family background is not bad, so I didn't go home last night because I didn't work overtime, but because I wanted to date Kang Chen for a whole night ?”
"..."
"Or you've already established the fact that I'm dating him, and you think we'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't do something wrong all night, don't you?"
"..."
Du Ruoheng said coldly: "Zhou Yanchi, don't say that you are not qualified now, even if we have not divorced, what I did is no different from what you did. You still have no reason to question me."
"Separation of body and mind is just for entertainment. Isn't this your own concept all along?"
Zhou Yanchi was still holding the phone, but Du Ruoheng had already hung up.
Outside the window, the night falls, and thousands of houses are lit.He stood on the balcony, maintaining the posture of hanging up the phone for a long time, until Zhou Titi ran over and grabbed his free hand: "Dad, eat."
Zhou Yanchi lowered his head and looked at his daughter for a while before subconsciously responding: "Okay, let's eat."
Du Ruoheng put the phone into the bag, looked up.Her fingers were trembling slightly, and she took a deep breath, trying her best to avoid the gaffe that was about to be uncontrollable.Kang Chen took a seat opposite her, looked over, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"fine."
After that, she couldn't taste it all the time.She basically didn't listen to what Kang Chen said, and it was difficult for her to give correct answers to the questions he threw.She also didn't notice that all the dishes served on the table were in line with her taste. In fact, she simply stopped at the end, resting her forehead with one hand, and poking the chopsticks in the plate with the other.Kang Chen finally gave up making her happy, he raised his hand and called the waiter: "Pay the bill."
During this dinner, Du Ruoheng raised his head to look at him for the first time, Kang Chen smiled at her: "You are in a bad mood, shall we go to the bar for a drink?"
Kang Chen found a bar with a quiet environment, but Du Ruoheng was still reticent.Her drinking strength is mediocre, but she ordered a strong cocktail tonight.Before she raised her glass, Kang Chen pressed the rim of the glass: "I called you here, but I didn't want you to get drunk."
His gaze was very soft under the light, and Du Ruoheng asked bluntly: "Will you send me home safely after I'm drunk?"
Kang Chen choked, "Let me think about it."
Du Ruoheng put down his glass and turned around to leave. Kang Chen dragged her back to the bar, dumbfounding: "Yes, I will. You drink, and I'll be right here with you. I promise you won't be hurt when you wake up the next day , okay?"
Du Ruoheng really sat back in silence, while Kang Chen could only smile wryly.He seldom does things that are not sure, and he will not easily take the back seat, whether it is career or relationship, but anyway, the role he is playing at this moment is really not very optimistic.
Kang Chen held his chin in both hands, leaned on the bar, looked at Du Ruoheng with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and let out a long sigh.
Du Ruoheng ignored him at all.She was very quiet, just took small sips without stopping, so the glass of wine quickly drained.She then asked the bartender for a second and third glass.Kang Chen couldn't stop him, and watched her get drunk, her eyes gradually closed, and finally lay on the edge of the bar, as if she had fallen asleep.
He sent two men who pretended to help, helped her up, touched a little water in the corner of her eyes, and looked again, Du Ruoheng's face was covered with tears.
Kang Chen let out another long sigh.
He helped her into the car, and Du Ruoheng was very cooperative throughout the process.Then she suddenly opened her eyes when he was fastening her seat belt, and warned with a blank face: "Kang Chen, if you dare to take advantage of others, I will kill your whole family."
Articulation is actually quite clear.Just fell asleep again soon.Kang Chen's whole body stiffened for a moment, and he coughed helplessly.
Kang Chen didn't send Du Ruoheng back to her home because of Du's mother who was living in S city.It was also inconvenient to send Jing Man back, so the car made a turn on the road and finally took her to a nearby hotel.
When he was pouring water for her in the room, Du Ruoheng's phone rang, and he took it out for her, and it showed Zhou Yanchi on it.
Kang Chen thought for a while, picked it up, and said something to Mr. Zhou.
Zhou Yanchi calmly warned: "This is Ah Heng's call."
Kang Chen said: "She was drunk and fell asleep, and now she can't answer the phone. If Mr. Zhou has something to say, I'll wait for her to wake up and help pass it on."
"Where are you now?"
Kang Chen responded politely: "President Zhou, why don't I say it frankly, she doesn't want to see you now."
There was silence for a moment, and the voice was low and majestic: "Don't touch her."
Thinking of Du Ruoheng's warning just now, Kang Chen rubbed his forehead and sighed silently again.When he spoke again, his tone was gentle and smiling: "It's my freedom to do what I do. It's also Du Ruoheng's freedom to choose what to do. Mr. Zhou, you are already divorced, and you are no longer fit to intervene."
Zhou Yanchi's voice seemed to be picked up from the coldness of the eighteenth layer of hell: "Kang Chen, you can't move."
Kang Chen smiled: "I want to try it."
Du Ruoheng woke up the next day with a splitting headache, and reflexively went to touch the phone. When he checked the time, he found that it had been turned off.
She sat up clutching her forehead, and within a minute of turning on the phone, Mother Du's call came in.
Du Ruoheng frowned and answered, almost in a desperate tone: "Where did you go all night? There was no one in sight, and the phone couldn't be reached! Do you know that Yan Chi left S with Titi early this morning?" Market? When he left, his face was quite bad, did you quarrel with him again!"
Du Ruoheng finally realized that she was in a strange hotel. She was the only one in the well-decorated room, and at the same time her clothes were intact.
Du Ruoheng paused for a moment to realize Du's mother's meaning, his face darkened immediately, and he responded in a cold voice: "He's going to do his own thing, what's the matter with me." He hung up immediately after not speaking.
Zhou Yanchi was silent all the way back to T City, even Zhou Titi could sense his absent-mindedness.The father and daughter were waiting at the terminal, and Zhou Titi touched his forehead, asking herself if her father had a fever.
Zhou Yanchi came back to his senses, touched his daughter's forehead to make her happy, and responded that his father was fine.After a while, he received a call from Su Yun, frowned and didn't answer, waiting for the phone to hang up automatically.
Zhou Titi saw it with sharp eyes and asked him, "Who is Su Yun?"
"A friend of Papa's."
"Girlfriend?"
"Female friend."
"Then why don't you take it?"
"..."
Zhou Titi asked suddenly: "You won't marry anyone other than your mother, will you?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "Yes."
Zhou Titi asked again: "Did you quarrel with your mother last night?"
"..."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a moment, stretched out his hand, pulled Zhou Titi's hat to cover his eyes, and said in a solemn voice, "Children don't ask questions about adults."
Zhou Titi flipped the hat back with her arms, and said to him: "I know why my mother quarreled with you. She doesn't like you looking for other women." After speaking, she added, "I don't like you looking for other women either."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while: "Mother told you?"
"On Thursday she was on the phone with Auntie Su Qiu in the bedroom, and I heard it outside." Zhou Titi said, "Mom said so, and Xi Ruichen said so before. Do you really find a lot of women? Is it because mother This is why I divorced you? Is it all your father's fault?"
"..."
"Why are you looking for another woman?" The child's eyes were innocent and open, looking up at him all the time, "I also heard from my mother that she didn't want to kiss you because she thought you were unclean. Why did she feel unclean? Also Because you're looking for another woman?"
For the rest of the journey, Zhou Yanchi's face remained as cold as ice.He sent Zhou Titi back to Zhou's house and back to Yuanheng. Zhang Yaran looked at his face from a distance and knew that he would be sad in the next few days, but she still had to say: "Miss Su Yun is here."
Zhou Yanchi was not in the mood: "Just say I'm not here and send her away."
"But she has come every day these days, and she is waiting in your office now."
Zhou Yanchi stopped and frowned, his eyes almost dismissed the female secretary who was ineffective on the spot.Zhang Yaran sweated all over his body, and heard Su Yun's soft voice from not far away: "Yan Chi?"
After a while, the two sat down in the meeting area of the office.Sitting opposite her, Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows and ordered Zhang Yaran to add more tea.Su Yun looked at his face, smiled and said, "Didn't sleep well recently? You look very tired."
Zhou Yanchi said he was busy recently.
Su Yun said, "Are you busy? But I heard from your secretary that you can't find anyone everywhere."
Zhou Yanchi glanced at Zhang Yaran again, and the latter's knees gave way and he almost knelt on the ground.Zhou Yan remained noncommittal, and asked Su Yun how Shen Chu's help was going.
Su Yun looked at him, her tone soft and pitiful: "It didn't go very well. The place I'm looking for is too remote, and I haven't really decided yet. If you were here, it should be easier."
Zhou Yanchi smiled: "Don't worry. You should trust Shen Chu's ability to handle affairs."
No matter what he asked, he avoided it calmly, and finally made Su Yun silent.She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then finally raised her head, looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to see Du Ruoheng?"
Zhou Yanchi still did not respond.Su Yun said again: "She has gotten very close to Kang Chen recently."
After a while Zhou Yanchi finally said, "I know."
"I heard," Su Yun pursed her lips slightly, "She was recently promoted from Kang Chen to Jing Man's deputy general manager."
Zhou Yanchi remained expressionless, and casually flipped through a magazine on the coffee table.Su Yun finally couldn't help it: "What's so good about Du Ruoheng that you deserve to treat her like this? Since she has already moved on, why do you want to be open?"
Zhou Yanchi responded without emotion: "Su Yun, this is my private matter."
"Du Ruoheng can't see that you are intimate with other women outside. She doesn't understand that you are just acting on the occasion. I know you have never been attracted to those women. Only I understand your thoughts." Su Yun's fingers were white, and she went to catch His cuff, "Yan Chi, we have known each other since we were young, and I know that you also know what I have been thinking."
Zhou Yan remained motionless for a while.It took a long time before I came back to my senses, and when I spoke in a low voice, "You also think that she doesn't want me to be intimate with other women outside."
At one o'clock in the morning at night, after Shen Chu was on duty, he just pushed open the door of the box on the second floor of the Tea Metropolitan Hall, and was almost knocked over by the overwhelming piano playing inside.
Shen Chu smiled when he saw it: "Is this the middle of the night asking me to come here to listen to the concert?"
Zhou Yanchi finally threw the score of "Hummingbird" aside, sat down leaning on the piano feet, rubbed his eyebrows and pointed to the side: "Sit."
"Okay." Shen Chu nodded and said with a smile, "I found that you are really a masochistic type. The more you are in a bad mood, the more you will be like this. If you don't sit on the sofa, you have to sit on the floor."
After speaking, the person still sat down.There were several bottles of brandy next to them, and the two of them got bored together, and only half a bottle was left before Zhou Yanchi said, "You can help her with Su Yun's affairs."
"Even if I arrange the lot for her in the downtown square, she won't be satisfied. What can I do?" Shen Chu said, "She has all her ulterior motives on you, and she is not someone who gives up so easily. Will she be willing to push her to me?"
Zhou Yanchi looked very impatient.
Shen Chu persuaded him: "Why are you so unfeeling to her again? Put yourself in Su Yun's place, with Su Yun's character, she sees that you are very tolerant and generous to other women, but you reject her thousands of miles. How can you let her Think? She is a person who can't grab it and never finishes it. You should be grateful to her for not throwing acid on you two at the wedding when you were able to get married."
Zhou Yanchi said they were different.
"Why are they different? I think they are all the same." Shen Chu said with a smile, "Anyway, you don't love any of them."
"..."
"Hey, do you think that Su Yun has an emotional admiration for you? Su Yun's relationship with you before marriage caused Du Ruoheng to almost tear down the house. If you help her now, it's not guaranteed. Can Du Ruoheng peel your skin because of this?"
Zhou Yan held a cold attitude: "Can't you talk well?"
Shen Chu felt aggrieved and said, "I'm not helping you analyze the problem. You see, Su Yun is attracted to you, so you have to avoid her. No matter what the reason is, that's what you did anyway. What about other women? , you also know that their minds are not simple, and both parties should treat it as a deal for each to get what they need. Anyway, those women are basically messy scandals, and they can spread the nose and eyes after chatting at the reception. Even if it is only once in a while, this There are only two or three times in a few years that are true. For you, it can only be regarded as an embellishment, but for them, it is an opportunity. Both sides are happy. As long as the house is always quiet, you don’t think it’s wrong , anyway, you are absolutely loyal spiritually, and you are impeccable to Du Ruoheng, right?"
Zhou Yanchi's face was cold and he didn't say a word. After a long while, he said in a cold voice: "Am I not good enough for Du Ruoheng? Apart from this, how can I not rely on her?"
Shen Chu clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "So I think that Ms. Du Ruoheng is really a beautiful and intelligent woman. It's right that she never talked to you about this issue during marriage. I knew you wouldn't listen to it. Just divorce. Finally The wonderful thing is that after the divorce, I don't tell you the reason, let you guess, you pretend to be magnanimous in marriage, and other places pick on you, but in this respect, it's as if you really don't care, let you divorce Can't you guess life and death in the future? Maybe all she's thinking these days is, ouch, guess it, it's better to guess it with white hair, why can't you guess it to death. "
Zhou Yanchi was poked at the sore spot one after another, and his eyes seemed to want to gouge out Shen Chu's entire skin.
"Why stare at me, if you have the ability to stare at your ex-wife."
"I told you before that no woman is truly tolerant of a spouse's infidelity, whether physically or emotionally, it makes no difference at all. You don't listen to me. You are the most opinionated person I have ever met .”
Shen Chu continued slowly: "If you really think there is a difference, then don't worry about the fact that Du Ruoheng and Kang Chen didn't come home overnight. You've been divorced for almost two years, so where do you have the qualifications to worry about it. Besides, maybe Du Ruoheng doesn't have feelings for Kang Chen, but he just likes his appearance. It's no different from your occasional pastime outside."
Zhou Yanchi went back to the company and said no more than ten sentences in one morning.At the company's regular meeting on Monday, several directors were arguing, but he remained silent.It wasn't until the two sides were about to fight that he raised his eyelids and casually threw the folder on the desk.
Everyone looked at him in silence.Zhou Yanchi stood up with a calm expression: "The meeting is over."
Zhou Yanchi worked very well throughout the day.He didn't seem to be affected by the hangover from the night before, and he always thought quickly and clearly, basically solving all the matters dragged down from the previous week in one day.After he sent Kang Jae-sung away in the afternoon, he personally sent the person in charge of a cooperation project out of the building in the evening. The latter shook hands with him and smiled sincerely: "It's rare to have such a happy cooperation. Why don't we hold a banquet tonight, Zhou?" It's always a face, let's have a drink together?"
Zhou Yanchi thought for a moment, and expressed his approval without expression.
The venue for the dinner was set at Mingdu.In this place that only adults are allowed to enter, while there is wine, there are naturally beauties.Zhou Yanchi sat on the main seat, and the beauty beside him was the best in the Tea City.The other party toasted a glass of wine with rolling eyes, the sweetness of the language was just right, and he did not refuse.The person in charge of the cooperation project sat on the opposite sofa and chatted with him with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhou is currently single?"
Zhou Yanchi's posture was vague and he did not deny it.He was always lukewarm, and the other party couldn't figure out what he really meant, so he could only greet him with a smile: "It's good to be single, it's good to be single, and you can be free. Or—" the voice turned around for a long time, pointing at the most beautiful woman in the box , "Our Ms. Yao is a high-achieving student of the Dance Academy. She looks sweet, has a polite conversation, and has a good figure. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"
After a few seconds of silence in the box, these words seemed to have finally won Zhou Yanchi a slight smile: "I believe you can like it, so it shouldn't be hard to say."
Everything you need is available in the box.Beauty, lighting, a little drunkenness, and a melodious sound.Zhou Yanchi was neither enthusiastic nor refused.At nine o'clock, the party was not over yet. He looked at the time, subconsciously pulled out his phone, and opened the interface for sending short messages. Before typing the three familiar words, he came back to his senses.
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a long time looking at the phone screen, and finally put the phone away again.
Miss Yao came over shyly and invited to dance, her cheeks were slightly pink.Zhou Yanchi glanced at her and replied flatly, "I'm not good at this."
Miss Yao blushed even more, and then quietly and obediently leaned beside him.Her slightly lowered head looked a little youthful, with a youthful bewilderment.Zhou Yanchi glanced at her, paused, and suddenly pinched her chin.
She raised her head slightly under his movement, and saw his deep and bottomless eyes.His face was getting closer and closer, she subconsciously closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.
So close that she could almost feel his breath.Not far away, the person in charge who was holding the beauty's waist and dancing with the music suddenly smiled and said: "This is the beginning? Mr. Zhou, room 1303, the key is on the table, or you and Miss Yao go up now?"
Zhou Yanchi's eyes regained clarity, and he slowly let go of the person in his hand.After a while, Su Dan said: "No need."
When Zhou Yanchi came home at ten o'clock that night, Zhou Titi was still awake, but she was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open.She grabbed the corner of her father's clothes and murmured, "Did you go out to socialize again tonight?"
"Who taught you that word?"
"housekeeper."
Zhou Yanchi stroked her hair: "Don't wait so late next time. You haven't grown up yet, and your father is an adult, so your schedule is different. You must fall asleep before nine o'clock. Dad can assure you, Will always come home safe and sound."
"But the housekeeper said, that's how my mother waited for you before. Now she's not at home."
Zhou Yanchi was silent for a moment, and kissed his daughter's forehead lightly.Finally said: "Mom is also an adult. And you haven't grown up yet. You need to sleep and grow bones, huh?"
Zhang Yaran feels that the boss has changed a lot recently.
Or to be precise, a return to normal may be more appropriate.Zhou Yanchi's performance during this period of time is a bit too much to be described as diligent and caring for the people, but he has indeed begun to focus on public affairs.The specific matters can be reflected in many aspects such as his staying in Yuanheng for more than ten hours a day, his continuous suppression of Kang Zaicheng, and further implementation of Yuanheng's reform strategy.In addition, and more importantly, Zhou Yanchi never visited City S until the Spring Festival.
This is indeed a question worthy of study.Several secretaries in the secretary's room have discussed it countless times.But Zhang Yaran must not be so stupid as to ask him why.She could only read his thoughts between the lines, but Zhou Yanchi was calm enough when he wanted to restrain his emotions, so she couldn't figure out whether the divorced couple was a moment of anger or a real old age after thinking about it for a long time. Contact each other.
Until Yuanheng came to the year-end settlement, Zhang Yaran gave priority to sorting out Du Ruoheng's shareholder dividends for this year as usual, and then she ran to knock on the office door and reported to her boss excitedly, saying that the boss is your ex-wife, oh no Miss Du Ruoheng's. A copy has come out, do you think I should notify her now or you will notify her later, please give me instructions.Zhou Yan held his head and said without raising his head: "You can come here as you used to. What are you telling me about this kind of thing?"
Since the phone call that night, Du Ruoheng had no contact with Zhou Yanchi for more than two months.
The relationship between them has always been maintained by Zhou Yanchi. Since Du Ruoheng knew about his infidelity in marriage, he no longer took the initiative towards him.Now that he is unwilling to take the initiative to lift the rope between the two of them, it will be easy to cut them off.
It's hard for Du Ruoheng to describe the feeling in his heart.It would be a lie to say that there was no loss, but at the same time I was relieved.It must be a hypocritical lie if a person can get rid of his stubborn nature if he is light and flirtatious.Du Ruoheng has always held this point of view, and now she has finally got proof.
Zhou Yanchi's nature is cold and cold, maybe she finally touched his bottom line this time.
Du Ruoheng went to soak in the hot spring with Su Qiu, and the two lay on their stomachs in the massage room for a massage. Su Qiu comforted her, saying that you were so disappointed. Just a little bit at the end.Or there is another thing, you are just relying on Zhou Yanchi and you are used to relying on him. He has always been able to surprise you, but this time he finally can't give you any more.
Du Ruoheng paused for a while, and said that he didn't know why he always felt a little bit unwilling.
Su Qiu said it was natural, Zhou Yanchi didn't act according to your wish, he cried bitterly and begged you for forgiveness, and at the same time, you didn't have time to beat him to the point of bleeding to relieve your depression, so you just say If you say such a light and fluttering sentence, and then people ignore you, it's like punching cotton, of course you are not reconciled.
Du Ruoheng went back to T City in early January because of Zhou Titi's endlessly crying requests.She deliberately avoided Zhou Yanchi, and conveyed this wish through Zhang Yaran. The latter asked the boss for instructions and replied that it was okay, and then said that he would send someone to pick up the plane.Du Ruoheng declined her politely, went to the kindergarten from the airport to pick up Zhou Titi, and the mother and daughter stayed in the hotel for two days.Zhou Titi kept trying to drag her back to Zhou's house, Du Ruoheng squatted down, showing a serious attitude towards her daughter for the first time.
She looked at her at the same level and said that mom doesn't want to see dad now, so don't make things difficult for mom, okay?
Zhou Titi calmed down, said yes obediently, and then asked if you were arguing.
Du Ruoheng said no.Zhou Titi asked, did your father make you angry?
Du Ruoheng thought for a while, and finally said the truth in a gentle tone: "Titi, mother and father have different ideas, and they can no longer live together in the future."
As expected, Du Ruoheng received a loud cry from Zhou Titi.
She cried so hard that she wanted to run out of the room to find her father willfully.Du Ruoheng held her in his arms, Zhou Titi struggled to get off the ground, Sapo rolled over again.An hour later, she was still crying with anger, her little face was crying unreasonably, and she didn't listen to Du Ruoheng's explanation.
Zhou Titi said that she only wants her mother and father to be together.
Du Ruoheng is not good at comforting frightened children, she has always been grateful for Zhou Titi's sensible and well-behaved.She has nothing to do with her daughter tonight, Zhou Titi is not tired, she is already tired, thinking why she said such a thing in the first place.Obviously, all the responsibility should be pushed on Zhou Yanchi's head.He directed this happy ending single-handedly, why should he be more comfortable than her.
Zhou Titi kept crying until midnight, and finally fell asleep reluctantly.After waking up, her small face was still wrinkled, and she ignored Du Ruoheng.Du Ruoheng had no choice but to take her out for a walk.The two sat down in an ice cream shop. Zhou Titi had just eaten two mouthfuls when her two calves kicked suddenly, slipped to the ground, and ran out without turning her head.
Du Ruoheng followed with a headache, and grabbed Zhou Titi's arm outside a clothing store.The momentum of the two was too great, and they failed to stop the car in time. Zhou Titi's small body bumped into a woman's body.
Du Ruoheng raised his head and saw the exquisite makeup of the other party. He felt familiar, and probably saw it vaguely somewhere.But she really didn't know each other, and was about to apologize politely, but Zhou Titi had already spoken before her, and raised her face and called to the other party, "Auntie Zhang Yaran."
The other party was carrying a handbag of various jewelry and clothes, and the embarrassment on his face flashed away.Du Ruoheng was surprised, before he could speak, he saw Zhou Yanchi not far behind the other party, who had put down the phone and was coming around the corner.
The moment Du Ruoheng came back to his senses, his eyes looked as if he wanted to cut Zhou Yan into pieces.
She stood there, not moving for a moment.If it wasn't covered by makeup, others would have noticed that her face was flushed.This was no longer an embarrassingly explainable situation, and she felt deeply humiliated.
She avoids and avoids, and she avoids encountering such scenes before the divorce.For a period of time, her depression was severe, and she was always suspicious that she would see Zhou Yanchi staying with some woman when she went out.She has always been educated to treat such a thing with arrogance, but if she encounters it, she has no way of knowing what level of arrogance is considered.In fact, when she now inevitably encounters this kind of scene, her first and last reaction is to slap Zhou Yanchi twice.
He embarrassed her like never before.It almost made her feel that all the psychological struggles she had done to him before were all a joke.
This man is obsessed with obsession, he has no moral values at all.
Zhou Yanchi met her eyes, and her eyes looked unusually bright.At the same time, his face was cold and his lips were slightly pursed, which was already a sign of Du Ruoheng's extreme anger.However, within a short time, before he made a move, she had already slightly moved her eyes away from him. At that moment, her expression was as calm as water, without a trace of emotion, like the dead silence after an extreme explosion.
Zhou Yanchi was dazzled by the sight, subconsciously took a step forward, and Zhou Titi had already swooped over and hugged his thigh.There were two packs of tears in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged, she looked up at him from bottom to top, and called daddy sobbing.
Du Ruoheng didn't even glance over her eyes. She smiled at the woman and asked gently, "You are Zhang Yaran? The person who picked up Titi from the kindergarten that day?"
The six eyes of the three people stared at Lan Yurou, making her hesitate to answer.Du Ruoheng continued: "I'm Titi's mother, surnamed Du. I heard that Miss Zhang invited Titi to dinner that night, and it happened to be noon now. As a return gift, why don't I invite you to lunch and ask again by the way?" You have a few questions."
Lan Yurou immediately turned her head to look at Zhou Yanchi, who had an inscrutable expression and did not respond for a long time.She wanted to refuse, but although Du Ruoheng's attitude was gentle, she could not refuse. In the end, Lan Yurou could only follow her passively.The four went to the dining area on the top floor of the shopping mall. Zhou Yanchi remained silent all the way, while Zhou Titi hugged his neck and whispered to him, "Dad, why don't you talk?"
When the four of them were seated, Du Ruoheng and Zhou Titi sat on one side, leaving Zhou Yanchi and Lan Yurou side by side on the opposite side.Du Ruoheng first politely invited Lan Yurou to order food. The latter seemed to have been greatly frightened, her body was stiff and at a loss, and finally she looked at Zhou Yanchi for help.The latter took the menu.He randomly ordered two, then Du Ruoheng took them over, asked Zhou Titi to order two, and finally sent the waiter away.
Such a combination of four people has nothing to say.Lan Yurou was completely Du Ruoheng's question and she answered it. It can be seen that she tried her best to keep calm, but she still couldn't hide her guilt.Zhou Yanchi ate very little and talked even less, until he simply put down his chopsticks and kept staring at Du Ruoheng.
Du Ruoheng was the only one in the audience talking and laughing happily.With a calm expression, she first asked about Lan Yurou's occupation, then learned that she had just switched to Suoyi Entertainment, and then asked how long Lan Yurou and Zhou Yanchi had known each other, how they met, and so on.Lan Yurou finally couldn't stand the interrogation, she interrupted her, and asked with some elements of revenge: "Why did Miss Du and Yan Chi divorce?"
Du Ruoheng put down the napkin and smiled, "I think he's dirty."
Du Ruoheng left T City that afternoon.Zhou Titi wanted to go to the airport with her. Du Ruoheng said softly that if you went to the airport with me, who would take you back? The two women came back after answering the phone, touched the back of Zhou Titi's head, and coaxed her to go home with Dad.
From the beginning to the end, she looked as usual and did not glance at Zhou Yanchi.As long as he is air, naturally he doesn't bother to pay attention to his long-lasting livid face.
Du Ruoheng thought about it all the way on the plane.She returned directly to Jing Man from the S city airport, just when Shang Kang Chen came to her to complain.He said that she wasn't here for the past two days, and he didn't know how much he suffered when he helped her replace the vice president position. They were just a few starlets, and because a song became popular by chance, the managers and their faces would be thrown into the sky. Staying here for only two days for a concert, the decoration of the presidential suite is worthless.Finally he wished them a speedy death.
Du Ruoheng smiled and asked him to calm down, saying that he would treat you to dinner at night, and return the favor of being drunk that night.
Kang Chen said: "Okay. What did you eat for lunch? You can't eat as much as lunch."
Du Ruoheng reported his name one by one, and Kang Chen said that it's not good for you to eat a lot at noon and eat a big meal at night, or let's change to a healthy way and go to the gym.
Du Ruoheng agreed without much thought, and the two changed their clothes and went to the gym together.Kang Chen looked gentle and thin, but his strength and speed should not be underestimated.He stood where he was, and Du Ruoheng tripped over his calf from the side at different angles, and he didn't trip for a long time.In the end she gave up and turned her head to leave, but Kang Chen said from behind, don't go, if you trip again, maybe I will fall down immediately.Isn't there a saying about the last straw? Why don't you insist so much.
He said it twice, and Du Ruoheng was successfully called back.This time she only touched her toe lightly, and Kang Chen fell down in response.
Du Ruoheng was finally teased to show a little smile.The two followed to run on the treadmill. Du Ruoheng was still not as good as Kang Chen, and her heart was beating violently after only two kilometers. When she received a call, she stopped the treadmill and picked it up. She was still out of breath when she gave a feed.
Kang Chen smiled and said that your physical strength is too weak and you can exercise with me later.
The other end of the phone didn't speak for a while, Du Ruoheng gave another hello.Then she finally sensed something was wrong, and glanced at the caller, it showed the words Zhou Yanchi.
Du Ruoheng spoke softly and asked him what's the matter.
Zhou Yanchi did not speak for a long time, and after a while, he hung up the phone silently.
An hour later, Kang Chen sent Du Ruoheng downstairs to her apartment, and watched the lights in her living room turn on before leaving.After watching his car go away by the window, Du Ruoheng turned off the light again. The room was pitch black, and she leaned on the sofa and slowly slid to the floor.She remained motionless, with her arms around her knees, always quiet.
After a while, she couldn't suppress a sob in her throat.After a while, she finally covered her face and cried loudly.
