After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

After Lu Ranran finished washing up, she sat in front of the computer for a long time.

My thoughts are disorganized and cannot be strung together into a logically coherent sentence.

The figures of Qian Dasao and Qian Jiang appeared alternately in her mind.

Cai Wenshu's "warning" seemed like surveillance.

When these figures are detected, they are replayed at a louder volume.

This goes on over and over again, making people very annoyed.

Solving it alone is fruitless.

The biting cold wind outside the window put an end to her idea of ​​going out for a walk.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Ranran picked up the phone and opened the dialog box with Shen Xiling.

"Do you have time to chat?"

Shen Xiling did not reply immediately.

After waiting for a while, Lu Ranran felt a little bored and threw the phone aside.

She sat back in front of the screen and placed her fingers on the keyboard devoutly.

Calm down, Lu Ranran, just think of yourself as a worker on the assembly line, don't think too much...

I do not know how long it has been.

The vibration of the phone attracted Lu Ranran's attention.

Lu Ranran jumped up from the screen as if she had been pardoned and picked up the phone impatiently.

This was Shen Xiling’s reply.

"Sorry, I was just taking a shower."

"Do you still want to talk? Do you want to come to me directly, or should I come to you?"

Lu Ranran's fingers quickly typed out a sentence.

"I will look for you."

After sending the message, without waiting for Shen Xiling's reply, Lu Ranran opened the door as if escaping.

Only the computer screen was still glowing, with a blank document and the cursor flashing unconsciously.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

After entering Shen Xiling's room, Lu Ranran could always smell a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose.

Similar to the jasmine flowers blooming quietly in the night.

The fragrance was like a pair of gentle hands, soothing the restlessness in Lu Ranran's heart.

She collapsed on the bean bag sofa in front of the window and stretched comfortably.

The room where Shen Xiling lived was very spacious, with a floor-to-ceiling window facing the tea mountain behind the village.

"What do you want to drink?"

The owner of the room, with a towel draped over his shoulders and one hand on the refrigerator door, turned around and asked.

Lu Ranran turned over on the sofa flexibly and lay on it like a starfish.

"Is there anything I can drink?"

Shen Xiling moved aside and asked, "Take a look?"

The refrigerator is full of cans and bottles of drinks.

Lu Ranran exclaimed, "Why are there so many?"

Shen Xiling tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Because, you like to drink?"

Finally, Lu Ranran relied on her intuition and picked a can of drink with a white and blue surface.

When I got it, I found it was lactic acid bacteria-flavored beer?!

Shen Xiling moved a larger bean bag sofa from the corner and sat next to her.

"The alcohol content is very low, and you can't taste the alcohol."

As if seeing her worry, Shen Xiling said:

"There are plenty of others in the fridge."

Lu Ranran was too lazy to move, "Forget it, I'll try."

As he said this, he was about to buckle the metal buckle on the can.

The next second, a slender and powerful hand reached out in front of her and lightly fastened the zipper.

There was a "pop" sound and the sound of bubbles.

Lu Ranran realized belatedly and wanted to thank him.

But he found that Shen Xiling was already drinking her drink with her head tilted back, her sexy Adam's apple moving up and down.

The water droplets on the hair fell on his neck, slid to his collarbone as he moved, and fell below his collarbone.

Lu Ranran avoided his gaze seriously and took a few sips of the lactic acid bacteria drink.

The crackling sound of the bubbles made her cheeks feel a little sore.

"So, you are still thinking about Mrs. Qian?"

"Hmm..." The numbness in her mouth gradually faded away, and Lu Ranran shook her head, "Not really."

"I was thinking about what we did to Zhang Heng before."

After this battle, Zhang Heng seemed to be completely mentally exhausted.

He, who used to be involved in a lot of gossips, has disappeared from the Internet.

"So sudden?"

“Think you’ve gone too far?”

In Lu Ranran's original plan, she just wanted to embarrass Zhang Heng and then make him socially dead.

I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Lu Ranran stared at the can in his hand, "I'm not regretting it."

"If it only concerned me, I might even think that his punishment was not enough."

"But this is Xiaoyuan's business..."

Just as Cai Wenshu said, there is no such thing as “a bystander sees more clearly” when it comes to family matters.

It's like, you think you are helping women who are suffering from domestic violence, but it turns out you are helping the young couple's sexual interests.

"I'm very confused."

“This thing looks bad to me, but does that mean I should intervene?”

Shen Xiling smiled and did not respond directly.

“That’s a difficult question.”

"But before solving this problem, perhaps we can solve a previous problem first."

"Do you think so? Do you really think you have violent values, or do you..."

"You can't bear the consequences of interpersonal relationships?"

At this moment, Shen Xiling is no longer the kind and elegant person he always is, nor is he the majestic and arrogant president in the business world.

He had no expression, but his eyes were frighteningly sharp.

It was as if he would transform into a razor and remove all of Lu Ranran's disguises.

Lu Ranran was silent.

But silence is the answer.

Let’s use Zhang Heng’s example to explain.

Suppose Zhang Xiaoyuan was hurt because of this.

Then is Lu Ranran also one of the accomplices?

Shen Xiling slowed down his tone.

"Ran Ran, you can't let guilt stop you."

"We must not be intimidated by fears that have not yet appeared."

“But——” Lu Ranran sat up straight, trying to refute that she was not frightened.

She wanted to say that the essence of many things is not what it seems.

When we don’t know the full picture, should we also choose to protect ourselves?

But Shen Xiling's next words dispelled her point.

"I know you're a little distressed by what grandma said."

"But that's a practical problem, and it's true."

"Now, Ranran, I want to ask you."

"Do you think that the best relationship between people is one where no one owes anything to the other?"

Lu Ranran opened her mouth to deny it, but she didn't know what to say.

The wind was blowing outside the house, and Lu Ranran felt a stinging sensation on her cheeks as if they were cracked by the cold wind.

Shen Xiling's voice was like a flickering candlelight, carrying a hint of warmth.

"Ran Ran, it's impossible for us not to owe each other anything."

"We cannot measure love, kindness, bravery, and all kinds of emotions by standards."

"It's impossible for you to give me 50% love and then I will give you 50% love in return."

"But as long as your heart can still feel and understand, you will respond to all kinds of people and things."

“This is not about value violence, or meddling in other people’s business.”

“It’s proof that you’re still alive.”

"We are social animals, and we need connections with the outside world and with other people."

While Shen Xiling was talking, Lu Ranran kept looking down at the can in his hand.

As the words fell, Lu Ranran suddenly raised his head and poured the rest of the drink into his mouth.

The bubbles burst and explode in the throat.

It seemed as if a chain reaction had occurred in her body's cells, which also began to explode and transform.

The next second, she felt a layer of shell on her body cracking and disappearing.

Now, the brand new Lu Ranran held the empty can in front of Shen Xiling and said sullenly:

"This is delicious, can I have another bottle?"

Shen Xiling returned to his usual gentle smile and reached out to take the empty can from Lu Ranran's hand.

The moment they touched, he hooked her little finger calmly.

"of course can."

His smile grew wider.

"If you want to sleep that's fine too."
