she is the reward of time

Chen Mingsheng stared at her for a few seconds, and then replied coldly with three words: "I don't know."

He never did things blindly, but he refused to tell himself the reason, so Su Xi didn't ask again.

When the two arrived in Beijing, the old man was really waiting with his last breath.

Chen Mingsheng's eyes were swollen from crying, and he had a low fever, so he looked as if he might faint at any moment.

Gu Shishu half-supported and half-hugged her, his expression also looked serious.

Xue Zizi's mood fell to the bottom.

A person who existed like a father to him was about to pass away, but he was helpless, so he was in great pain.

Chen Mingsheng pulled Su Xi to walk in, he seemed anxious and scared, Su Xi felt that his hands hurt from being scratched by him.

When the two arrived in front of the old man, Chen Mingsheng lowered his head and approached the old man, calling out to him as grandpa.

The person on the bed was already on his deathbed, and he didn't know if he heard his call "Grandpa", but he didn't respond at all.

Chen Mingsheng pulled Su Xi over again, and said to the old man, "Grandpa, don't worry, I already have a marriage partner, and I will definitely manage the company well, and I won't let you down."

He didn't say too much or too complicated, but every word and every sentence should be what the old man likes to hear.

You see, he is such a smart person.

That's why Su Xi believed that from the very beginning, he dragged himself to Beijing to tell the old man that he was his marriage partner.

The reason why he didn't answer himself directly when he asked the question was because he didn't want to.

For those he cares about, he will put a lot of thought into reassuring them.

But he doesn't care much about himself, so he is always hot and cold, far and near, making himself feel insecure.

Su Xi didn't refute what he said to the old man, it was even a tacit acquiescence.

After all, people are dying, as long as the old man can leave without regret, Su Xi doesn't mind being entangled with Chen Mingsheng for a while longer.

Anyway, there were only Zheng Chun, Gu Shishu, and Xue Zizi around, and no outsiders knew what Chen Mingsheng said, so the two of them could return to the state of strangers afterwards.

Maybe the word "stranger" is not accurate enough, but now Su Xi has really given up on Chen Mingsheng.

The old man was quite peaceful when he left, which gave Zheng Chun some comfort.

She was always worried that if the old man was still in pain when he left without continuing the treatment, then she would definitely regret not letting the old man stay longer.

Gu Shishu saw that she was crying too much and the fever did not subside, and what the doctor said yesterday made him feel very uneasy, so he asked Zheng Chun to rest first, and he and Xue took care of the rest.

Chen Mingsheng and Su Xi also stayed in the hospital for the time being, neither of them spoke, one was with Zheng Chun, and the other was smoking.

After Gu Shishu and Zheng Chun separated, he told Xue Zizi that he had something to go to the doctor, and asked Xue Zizi to take care of the old man's funeral first.

Xue Zizi is in a bad mood now, and he doesn't care about what he has to do with the doctor at all.

Moreover, the two of them didn't like each other, so Xue Zizi walked away without even giving him a second look.

Gu Shishu came to the doctor's office and asked Zheng Chun about the final examination results.

The doctor said: "The results have just come out, there is a little problem, but the problem can be solved."

Gu Shishu asked again: "Will the process of solving it be very painful?"

The old man has just passed away, if the treatment requires Zheng Chun to endure a lot of torture, Gu Shishu is afraid that Zheng Chun will not be able to bear it.

The doctor was stunned by his question, and then replied: "It won't be painful, it's a small problem, and it will be treated smoothly."

Gu Shishu heaved a sigh of relief, and then returned to Zheng Chun's side.

Su Xi originally stayed with Zheng Chun because she didn't want to stand with Chen Mingsheng.

But now that Gu Shishu is back, Zheng Chun definitely wants Gu Shishu to accompany her, so Su Xi had no choice but to stand aside.

Chen Mingsheng didn't know why he was going crazy at this moment, and suddenly took her hand and walked out.

Zheng Chun on the bed was crying with his head down, but was so frightened by the sudden situation that he stopped crying.

She asked Gu Shishu: "Do you want to go and see, in case..."

Gu Shishu shook his head, "Don't look, he just said that this is his marriage partner. Could he still eat his own marriage partner?"

Zheng Chun: "..."

It seems to be the case.

In addition, she herself was not in a good mood, so she didn't care about it.

……

Outside, Su Xi lowered her head, looking at her wrist that was red from being scratched by Chen Mingsheng, she didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

She asked softly: "What exactly is Mr. Chen thinking? In order to let your grandfather pass away with peace of mind, you lied that I was your marriage partner. I can understand this and don't care about it, but it doesn't mean that you can always bully me .”

Chen Mingsheng turned his head to look over, his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to eat her in place.

"I know you hate me because of what happened in the past, and it's okay if you keep talking to me one by one, Mr. Chen, but Su Xi—" Chen Mingsheng angrily said, "What I said to grandpa just now was not just to make grandpa have no regrets." ,What I said is real,"

Su Xi deliberately pretended not to understand, "What is true? Saying that you will work hard will make the company better?"

Chen Mingsheng suddenly became irritable, "Are you fucking trying to argue with me? I've already bowed to you, what do you want from me! Kneel down and beg you?"

This is what Chen Mingsheng should look like.

Su Xi smiled slightly, "I never dared to think that way, I am very self-aware, I know who Mr. Chen is, and I would never do this for me..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Mingsheng suddenly bent his knees slowly.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, Su Xi's mind went blank for a second, and he instinctively went forward to help him.

Chen Mingsheng grabbed Su Xi's arm and pulled her into his arms.

"What are you doing?!" Su Xi struggled.

Chen Mingsheng: "Let me give you a hug."

Is it when a loved one has just passed away that one becomes vulnerable and distressed, and then desperately needs to find another sustenance?
Su Xi didn't feel at all that Chen Mingsheng's reaction at this moment was due to his love for himself.

At the same time, Su Xi also realized that he didn't really want to kneel down to him just now, he was just testing himself.

He succeeded.

This feeling of being manipulated made Su Xi very irritable, she pushed Chen Mingsheng's chest, asking him to let go.

Chen Mingsheng not only did not let go, but also pressed her neck heavily, pressing her face into his arms.

Su Xi almost suffocated.

Chen Mingsheng asked again in her ear: "Xixi, what do you want from me?"

Didn't I bow my head to her enough during this time?Don't you admit your mistakes enough?
Did she just want to hear this sentence——

"Xixi, I love you, I was wrong."
