success
Chapter 1 Arriving at the HR department, Cheng Xi went into the office and sat on a chair with his e
Probably because I got what I wanted, but you didn't. "
The air seemed to freeze.
Ji Jinxuan looked at Cheng Xi who was smiling like that, and his eyes seemed to drift to a long time ago, that girl with a high ponytail came out of the campus and said "All I want is you", and later, she thought for herself What she wanted, pushed away the person who had been with her for seven years with her own hands.
It turned out that the reason why they failed to get together in the end was just because they wanted something different...
Ji Jinxuan closed his eyes, then opened them again to look at the people around him.
"Have you ever blamed me?"
Watching her take the trembling cup in her hand and put it aside, she said softly, "Actually, no one is more noble than the other in terms of love and status."
"I never felt that you were sorry for me." Cheng Xi stared quietly at the person in front of him, and finally smiled again, "When you treat people well, you are really good. Whether it is bellflower flowers or headache medicine, you made it I remember everything. It’s just that there are some things that I can’t compare to. So just treat it as a loss.”
"Then you are not afraid..." Ji Jinxu lowered his voice, "Aren't you afraid of losing again?"
"I'm afraid," Cheng Xi thought for a while, and said frankly, "I was always afraid at first, so I never dared to admit that I actually like such a mischievous child."
"But then I found out that I didn't seem to have anything to fear."
"Because that person has paid so much, so much that I feel that even if we both fall off the cliff at the same time, she will put herself under her and protect me." Cheng Xi paused, "Thinking like this , I think what else can I lose?"
Ji Jinxuan looked at her and was silent for a long time.
Cheng Xi didn't care, she just felt the wind blowing by the window, with a hint of coolness, making people unable to help but miss the warmth, the warmth of a certain child, the warmth of their arms.
Ji Jinxu stood up straight, and she finally said with difficulty: "Congratulations, you got what you want."
Cheng Xi's beautiful eyebrows stretched out, she knew that Ji Jinxuan was actually a very rational person, although sometimes she was too stubborn about some things, but she could always see clearly what was best for her.
It would not be a good thing for her to continue to entangle with her and become an enemy of Gong Yizhen.
She nodded and said, "I hope you can see clearly what you really want. Anyway," she added, "don't lose yourself."
Before Ji Jinxu could answer, Cheng Xi turned and left.
Only this time, when Ji Jinxuan looked at Cheng Xi's back, he couldn't even pick up that feeling of unwillingness...
The author has something to say: Thank you yukino for the landmines, okay!
Thank you Sanhuai Mao for mine X[-], grenade, yum!
I have something to say in the last chapter. I don’t know if I’m stupid or the system is stupid. Anyway, I’m done. I also want to say that it’s just June 61. Chapter [-] wishes the cuties a happy holiday. Hey, I’m so angry!
Also, in the group, I saw a little angel saying that there are tweets on Weibo, thank you to that unknown little angel, Ai Li! (Hee hee jumped out and let me claim it?) (This is also something to say in the previous chapter)
And, the plot of this article has gone through most of the time, and there will not be much space in the future, so there will not be any sadomasochistic plot... It is more possible to have a sweet and toothless episode~
Okay, today is a sudden nagging.
☆、Chapter 63
Cheng Xi blew the wind at the door for a while before realizing that he was too drunk to drive.
She looked at her phone and made a call to Gong Yizhen.
After Gong Yizhen arrived, she casually glanced behind her, and then pulled her into the car.Before Cheng Xi could react, he had already sat in the car.
The chill on his body was driven away by the car heater, Cheng Xi fastened his seat belt, turned around and smiled softly at Gong Yizhen who was in the driver's seat: "That's great."
"What's the matter?" Gong Yizhen replied stiffly, but after seeing the smile on Cheng Xi's face, her momentum weakened again, and she muttered: "You don't want me to pick you up."
"Who said she didn't want to?" Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and poked Gong Yizhen's swollen cheek. Seeing that her face was slightly flushed and her eyes began to shine, Cheng Xi withdrew her hand and sat upright. He said solemnly, "Drive well."
Gong Yizhen snorted softly, stepped on the gas pedal, "I'll deal with you when I go back."
Cheng Xi chuckled lightly and didn't answer her words.
When the two arrived home, Gong Yizhen reached out and knotted the coat in her hand and threw it aside, then pushed Cheng Xi down on the sofa.
"I took great pains to choose such a comfortable sofa..." Gong Yizhen's eyes flickered with a strange light, like a child encouraging his companions to do bad things.
"Wait first..." Cheng Xi pressed his hands on Gong Yizhen's chest, and after feeling the softness of his palms, he choked back what he wanted to say.
It was rare for Cheng Xi to feel a little hot on her face. She looked at Gong Yizhen's bright eyes and coughed lightly, "I have something to tell you."
Gong Yizhen looked at her slightly flushed cheeks, and reluctantly wanted to move.
Cheng Xi shook his head, looking at her with clear eyes: "Good boy."
She paused, let go of her hands, sat up straight and looked at Cheng Xi: "Is it about Ji Jinxu?"
Cheng Xi opened his eyes slightly, and looked at her in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I saw her, just when I picked you up." Gong Yizhen paused, "You better stop trying."
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Gong Yizhen's words.
"I mean, Ji Jinxuan won't have any other choice. She will definitely marry He Zhonglian."
Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen who said these words calmly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The calm and deep look of Gong Yizhen made her a little strange.
She swallowed her saliva slightly to ease her rough throat, so that she could explain clearly to the person in front of her that all the things she wanted to say tonight had nothing to do with that person.
It's just that Gong Yizhen didn't give her this chance.
She just looked at Cheng Xi with a bit of surprise on her face, and the sense of loss in her heart spread uncontrollably.
Is Ji Jinyu really that important to you?Do you really care that much about whether she will get hurt and lose everything?
Probably because the feeling of disappointment was too strong, Gong Yizhen didn't have the intention of messing around, she just glanced at other places lightly, and wanted to change the topic: "If you have such a leisurely heart, don't think about the vacation we arranged ?”
Cheng Xi raised his eyes and glanced at her, but only saw Gong Yizhen turning his head away, not meeting her gaze.
"What did you do?" Cheng Xi paused, but still asked.
Gong Yizhen couldn't help clenching her palms, her bright eyes were dark, "What else do I need to do? She wants Ji Yunshan's seat like crazy, even if I don't do anything, she won't." It’s still the way to go.”
"What kind of path she likes to take and what kind of choice she makes is her own business." Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen firmly, "I won't take care of her affairs anymore, and you don't need to meddle in."
Gong Yizhen blinked slightly, she turned her head to look at Cheng Xi: "You don't care about her, I believe in you, but if you want me to ignore her, it's already too late."
"What the hell did you do?" Cheng Xi looked at the person in front of him stiffly, feeling confused for a moment, "The two of them don't get along well, why are you messing around?"
"Anyway, you don't plan to bother her anymore, so these things are not important." Gong Yizhen wanted to reach out to hold Cheng Xi, but when she sensed her resistance, the movements of her hands paused, and she lowered her head and said : "Or, you just care about her?"
"It has nothing to do with her! Do you know, if you meddle in those things because of me, what will I think? What will your brother think? Gong Yizhen, didn't you say you believed me? You are going to tell me now Me, is that why you trust me?"
Gong Yizhen looked at Cheng Xi, who had rarely lost his composure, and originally wanted to hold Cheng Xi's hand, but finally took it back silently.
In fact, the sourness in her heart has rushed to the bottom of her eyes, but after all, she is no longer the old lady who only knows how to mess around.
The photo that He Zhonglian gave her was in the car, and even if she wanted to let it go, she didn't want this person to be in any danger.
So even if she wanted to hug Cheng Xi like before and tell her all the true thoughts in her heart with tears, now she can only turn her head away in anger and say stubbornly: "If you really don't care It doesn't matter what happens to this person, it doesn't matter if she climbs up or falls off. Besides, doesn't she want to cooperate with He Zhonglian? I'll help her make up her mind. If she gets what she wants, she won't bother her again. is you."
Gong Yizhen glanced at Cheng Xi, almost unable to suppress the sadness in her heart, and said angrily, "Isn't this better?"
Cheng Xi looked deeply at Gong Yizhen, his heart sank.
She knew that Gong Yizhen had been holding back her hostility towards Ji Jinxu all this time, but during this time, she thought that the child in front of her had grown a lot, and at least she would express her dissatisfaction to herself instead of acting impulsively alone. matter.
However, she thought it was too simple after all.Gong Yizhen, who was straightforward and reckless in doing things back then, has not changed at all, she still just acts according to her own temperament and reckless of consequences.
In fact, she didn't care what Ji Jinxu would choose in the end, because everything that should be said between them had already been made clear.No matter how great the relationship is, there should be a time for understanding.
She was just worried that Gong Yizhen would get into unexpected trouble for her involvement in this, and she was even more worried about what price she would pay for her impulsiveness.
But now Gong Yizhen can no longer listen to what she said.
Cheng Xi suddenly felt a headache.
Gong Yizhen looked at the disappointment faintly revealed on her face, and felt as if she had been pricked by a needle in her heart.
"I just can't take it anymore." She lowered her head, not looking at the heartbroken look on Cheng Xi's face, "I can't help that you still think about that person in your heart, can't bear her unwilling eyes when she looks at you, Even if I know that I can't erase your past, thinking like this will only make me suffer more... But I still can't bear it in my heart," Gong Yizhen still didn't look at her, but said with a little indifference: "I I have never been a person who is good at patience, so no matter what the cost is, to me, it is not as important as keeping you."
"Keep me?" Cheng Xi looked at her, "You said in order to keep me, what am I to you? Is it a doll that anyone can take away? That's why you are so anxious..."
Gong Yizhen suddenly looked up at her, "You are not!"
Cheng Xi suddenly smiled wryly, and she reached out to touch Gong Yizhen's head, of course she knew that children would not miss her like this.It's just that their conversation today made people unable to help but say some angry words.
Gong Yizhen looked at her outstretched hand, and the soreness buried deep in her eyes surged up as if she was about to be unable to bear it anymore.
"Gong Yizhen, I will only say these words once."
"From the moment I agreed to be with you, I never thought about having anything to do with the past." Cheng Xi sighed softly, "No matter how many times I have said before that you are too nonsense and self-willed, I will stop you." You can't help but bump into my heart. I also thought about it, I am so much older than you, and I have a past that people can't ignore. Love is a matter between two people, but there are so many variables in this world, how can you guarantee that you can go to the end by guarding each other?"
Gong Yizhen's heart tightened, this was the first time that Cheng Xi had directly confessed the concerns in her heart to her.
"We both have so much anxiety about ourselves, wouldn't it be more difficult to move forward if we take care of others?" Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen for a moment, grabbed his hand and hugged him tightly. live.
She closed her eyes, feeling this warm embrace, her heart seemed to melt.
"I understand what you mean, I won't care about other people," Gong Yizhen hugged her tightly, kissed her hair, and then continued: "The two of us will go to the end, no matter how big the change is, Nothing can be changed, and I will do what I say.”
So she can't just let this matter go... Although this matter is caused by Ji Jinxuan, if He Zhonglianda can't get his wish and can't touch the members of Ji's family, it doesn't mean that he won't take out his anger on others... Anyway, she Cheng Xi couldn't be allowed to fall into that dangerous situation.
Gong Yizhen hugged the person in her arms tightly, and the expression on her face gradually became firm.
Just this time, sorry for not telling you the truth...
Nanshan's bidding went quite smoothly, and the two companies signed the contract after winning the bid.It's just that He Zhonglian is an old fox after all, and he didn't give up anything when he signed the contract, which really made Gong Yizhen fight a tough battle, and the planning right for the Nanshan Welfare Institute was not established.
But Gong Yizhen is not in a hurry, there is still a lot of work in the early stage, and no one can make a conclusion until the end, which one will benefit more.
He Zhonglian seemed to appreciate her behavior very much, and invited her to dinner after the meeting.
Gong Yizhen probably remembered the joke that He Zhonglian made when the two met for the first time, she curled her lips and rejected it straightforwardly.
Seeing her defensive face, He Zhonglian smiled very heartily, which was very different from the appearance of fighting for nothing just now.
"I'm afraid Mr. Gong has misunderstood something like this? I just admire your style of conduct."
"There's nothing to misunderstand." Gong Yizhen stood up, and glanced at the contract in her hand, "If Mr. He really appreciates it, it's better to have something real."
He Zhonglian laughed, "This is a different matter, Mr. Gong, in business, it's better not to play the emotional card."
"There is no difference between appreciating and not appreciating. After all, what we value is only the numbers on the contract." Gong Yizhen said simply and neatly: "Boss He doesn't need to exchange pleasantries, see you next time."
He Zhonglian smiled, stood up, and was about to send her out when his secretary came in and said, "Boss, Miss has been waiting outside for half an hour."
He Zhonglian frowned when he heard this, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
The secretary replied awkwardly: "You were in a meeting just now..."
Hearing this, Gong Yizhen guessed that the lady mentioned by the secretary must be the one He Zhonglian really admired... But the private lives of these diamond kings and fives are really messy enough, and the news of their engagement to Ji Jinxuan must released...
She shook her head and didn't think about things that had nothing to do with her. In short, Ji Yunshan's pressure on Ji Jinzhu was strong enough for her to agree to the engagement, so she didn't care much about it.
When Nanshan's case is settled, she can discuss vacation with Cheng Xi.
Thinking of this, Gong Yizhen couldn't help but put a smile on her face, and her tone towards He Zhonglian became a little bit better, "Mr. He doesn't need to send it away, you can do your work first."
He Zhonglian hummed and walked out of the meeting room.
Gong Yizhen handed the document to Assistant Song who was standing behind her, and then walked out.
When they got to the elevator entrance, Gong Yizhen caught a glimpse of He Zhonglian talking to a young girl.
The girl probably sensed something, raised her head and glanced this way, just in time to meet Shang Gong Yizhen's gaze.
Gong Yizhen paused, nodded slightly to her, and walked into the elevator, so she couldn't see the surprised expression on the man's face.
After returning to the company, Gong Yizhen handed over the work to Assistant Song to arrange, and then stayed in the cubicle in the office to rest.
In a daze, Gong Yizhen suddenly smelled the aroma of coffee, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Sun Ru's smiling face.
She froze for a moment, then sat up and looked at the person standing beside her, "Why are you here?"
"Let's deal with my remaining mess." Sun Ru smiled, "I didn't expect that I would be so unlucky that I happened to catch up with you to sign the contract, and I didn't see you all morning."
Gong Yizhen smiled, took the coffee in her hand, and asked, "Why, you didn't do well outside, do you want to come back?"
"You talk, can you hope that others will take care of you?" Sun Rubai gave her a look: "A talented person like me is very popular everywhere, okay? It's just you, I don't know how to keep a talent like me."
"It's hard to say anything else, but this narcissistic talent has grown." Gong Yizhen said solemnly, seeing that Sun Ru's face darkened, she was about to make a move.
"Hey, be careful with the coffee!" Gong Yizhen yelled hastily, but she still resisted and spilled it.
Sun Ru stopped her hands in embarrassment, she looked at the stains on Gong Yizhen's body, and said, "Do you want to change it?"
Gong Yizhen nodded, stood up, and looked in the built-in closet beside her.
Sun Ru paused, and suddenly asked, "Did you go to the He Group today?"
"En." Gong Yizhen responded.
"It's not a good choice to share the land in Nanshan with them." Sun Ru shook her head, "It's not a good choice."
Gong Yizhen paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at Sun Ru, "The other things may not be easy, not to mention, finding him is killing two birds with one stone."
"Two birds with one stone?" Sun Ru raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Could it be Ji Jinxu?"
Gong Yizhen hummed, and continued: "Even you know, it seems that their engagement is a certainty."
"If Ji Jinxuan knew that you contributed to her engagement, how would she feel?"
Gong Yizhen's voice was slightly indifferent, "I don't care what she thinks, as long as she doesn't bother Cheng Xi in the future."
Seeing Gong Yizhen's indifferent expression, Sun Ru asked hesitantly, "Does Cheng Xi know what you do?"
"She doesn't need to know." Gong Yizhen took a new shirt and put it on with her back to Sun Ru, "Besides, since Ji Jinzhen can't let go of that position, no matter what the price is, it's her own choice."
Sun Ru touched the hand of the coffee cup and rubbed it slightly.
She looked up at Gong Yizhen who had already changed her clothes, then stood up and walked out of the rest room with her.
Gong Yizhen pushed open the door, then froze there.
Cheng Xi was standing in front of her desk, her gaze quietly fell on Gong Yizhen's unbuttoned shirt, and then Sun Ru who followed behind with a slightly surprised expression.
Gong Yizhen was startled for a moment, and then walked over quickly, "When did you come?"
"It's not too early or too late." Cheng Xi's beautiful eyebrows showed no trace of emotion, "I just heard you chatting for a while."
Gong Yizhen felt her hands tremble, she hurriedly grabbed Cheng Xi, opened her mouth but found that she had nothing to say.
The matter is obvious, and Cheng Xi probably only thinks that she, Gong Yizhen, is not only acting willfully and impulsively, but has even learned to deceive her...
Cheng Xi looked at his hand that was held by Gong Yizhen, calmed his breath slightly, and smiled at Sun Ru: "I wonder if Ms. Sun has finished reminiscing about the past? She and I have something to talk about."
The implication is, can you please leave first?
Sun Ru glanced at Gong Yizhen holding Cheng Xi's hand tightly, frowned imperceptibly, then nodded again, "Talk, I'll go first."
The office door was opened and closed.
Then there was silence.
The author has something to say: Because I have to catch up with the list, I will continue to update it tomorrow, okay~
☆、Chapter 64
Assistant Song naturally knew Cheng Xi.
In a sense, this is my own proprietress.So after seeing her coming, he told Cheng Xi without the slightest hesitation that Gong Yizhen was resting in the office at the moment, and then kindly told others not to go in and disturb her.
However, when he saw Sun Ru coming out from the inside with an unsightly expression, his heart skipped a beat.
Sun Ru just glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything.
The silence in the office was quickly broken.
Gong Yizhen looked at the calm Cheng Xi, and tightened her heart a bit, but she loosened her grip on her hand.
Cheng Xi's eyes fell on his loosened wrist, and he sighed softly: "You have nothing to say to me?"
"What did you say?" Gong Yizhen asked back, she looked away uncomfortably, even though she thought she did nothing wrong, seeing Cheng Xi's expression at the moment, Gong Yizhen suddenly felt a little guilty .
Cheng Xi stared fixedly at Gong Yizhen, who was dodging a bit, and felt an indescribable helplessness in his heart, "You didn't intend to stop at the beginning, did you? Gong Yizhen, you really grew up!" So, you who are so frank and direct, have you learned to perfunctory me now?"
When Gong Yizhen heard this, she felt even more unhappy, and subconsciously replied: "Then do you care about my perfunctory, or the choice Ji Jindi was forced to make?"
Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen with a hint of disbelief, and a wry smile appeared on her lips: "Gong Yizhen, nothing I say now can change your mind, can it?"
"Anyway, the matter has come to this point, Ji Jinpin has already agreed to He Zhonglian's agreement." Gong Yizhen grabbed Cheng Xi's hand, a faint light flickered in her eyes, "It's too late if you try to persuade her. "
Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen still stubbornly, lowered his head slightly, feeling tired for no reason.
She looked at the wrist tightly grasped by Gong Yizhen, curled her lips but couldn't smile, "Gong Yizhen, have you ever thought about whether I care too much about Ji Jinxu, or you care too much about her? "
Gong Yizhen was stunned for a moment, but just kept silent.
"You said that the past can't be erased, I admit it. But I don't plan to live in the past forever, but if I plan to only look at the future, but you still stare at the past, what should I do? "
"I want you to only look at me..." Gong Yizhen felt as if someone had severely grabbed her heart, it was extremely uncomfortable, she could listen to Cheng Xi talking about her messing around, scolding her for being ignorant, But it was difficult to face Cheng Xi who spoke of disappointment in such a weak and tired voice.
Cheng Xi closed his eyes, looked at Gong Yizhen who was still about to say something, and felt that there was nothing more hurtful than this kind of helplessness.
"Both of us, maybe we need to calm down." Cheng Xi let out a long breath, so as to ease the pent-up emotions in his heart, "I know you can't be blamed for this matter, it's because I failed to make you feel at ease... But there are still so many things we will encounter in the future, if it all ends in this way, you and I will be tired."
"I won't!" Gong Yizhen stared at Cheng Xi, "I know exactly what I'm doing, I just want you, you and me, just us."
"But there are not only the two of us in this world, if in the future..." Cheng Xi closed his eyes, then looked at the stubborn Gong Yizhen: "If your brother also opposes us in the future, you have to do whatever it takes Standing against him?"
Gong Yizhen held Cheng Xi's hand and couldn't help but increase her strength, "So what, I said, if I want to go to the end with you, no one can stop me."
"Do you think I'll be happy hearing you say that?" Cheng Xi lowered his neck, showing a sense of powerlessness: "What I want now is for two people to be together properly. I really can't afford it."
Gong Yizhen's eyes fell on Cheng Xi's slender neck, and her throat suddenly felt a bit constricted. She couldn't help but leaned over, reached out and hugged the person in front of her, and gently rubbed the slightly cool skin: "I I also want to be with you well. You don’t have to worry about my brother. I can handle him myself. Don’t be afraid of those storms, okay? ...Don't say such things." Don't say such helpless and lonely words, it feels like she is still a mischievous child, and she will never become the dependable appearance that Cheng Xi wants.
Cheng Xi felt Gong Yizhen's warm skin against her neck, and her head suddenly collapsed. She stretched out her arms to hug Gong Yizhen, and closed her sore eyes, "I'm sorry..."
Gong Yizhen tightened her hand holding her, "I don't want you to say I'm sorry, I just want you not to leave me behind, and don't be disappointed in me, okay?"
Cheng Xi took a deep breath and replied in a low voice, "Okay."
Even if both of them understand that the other's way of dealing with it is not what they want to see, and they both know that this cannot be changed, but the peace of mind and steadfastness of being able to hug the person in their arms tightly is something they cannot do anyway. Let go.
……
During the meal, Cheng Xi said that she was going back to City Z. After half a year's deliberation, Cheng's mother and Uncle Zhang decided to hold a simple wedding.
Gong Yizhen also wanted to go back with her, but there were too many things going on in the company, she couldn't get away at all, so she had to wait until the day before the wedding.
When discussing this matter, the two of them also subconsciously avoided those unpleasant topics. Until a while later, Cheng Xi never mentioned anything about Ji Jinxuan.
But in the same city, and Ji Jinxuan is such an influential figure, even if he didn't intend to inquire about it, he would inevitably hear some news from other people.The date of Ji Jinxuan's and He Zhonglian's engagement is just after the year, and before that, the top management of the Ji family also started a moderate change.
It seems that Ji Jinxuan's plan is going quite smoothly.
Cheng Xi couldn't help but sneer when he heard the faces of the bosses on the opposite side who still didn't forget to tease each other. In fact, compared to their natural curiosity and desire to gossip, these so-called successful people are no more reserved and restrained than the old ladies on the street. where to go.
She followed Mr. Cai to stand up, said goodbye to everyone and left the box.
Mr. Cai asked Cheng Xi while walking out, "Are you going back tomorrow?"
Cheng Xi nodded and smiled: "Mr. Cai, don't worry, I will come back on time to sell the vacation."
Mr. Cai laughed a few times: "Your words have reached my heart. I don't want my capable person to leave the company for too long." Speaking of this, he paused, "But those who were at the dinner table just now If you don't, don't take it to heart."
Cheng Xi smiled lightly: "Mr. Cai, don't worry, what you say has nothing to do with Fengyuan."
"With your words, I'm relieved." Mr. Cai showed a satisfied look on his face, waved his hands and said, "Although you are busy with family affairs, the company, you don't have to worry about these few days."
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, and said goodbye to Mr. Cai at the door.
When I went back the next day, Gong Yizhen originally wanted to postpone the meeting to see her off, but it was only a three-hour drive, and this time I went back to help Cheng's mother with some trivial matters, and it was not an urgent matter, so Cheng Xi decided to After giving a good lecture to his own child, he pushed her to the company and went back by himself.
When they got home, Cheng Xi followed Mama Cheng.Uncle Zhang's son, Zhang Jing, has been working abroad for the past few years. Hearing that his father found a wife, he rushed back with his wife and children.The two families discussed many matters together, and it was quite lively.
Although the intention of the two elders was simply to hold a banquet and invite a few old friends to have a good time, the two children were quite attentive, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which made them feel warm , no longer excuse anything.
Because Uncle Zhang's son had been abroad all these years, he didn't know much about his family's situation, so Cheng Xi took care of the master of ceremonies, banquets and so on.
When things were arranged properly, Zhang Jing said that he would take his family out to have a hot pot together. His youngest son, who had been with Cheng Xi for a few days, was no longer afraid of life, so he jumped in front of Cheng Xi and called his aunt out for dinner.
Cheng Xi patted his head and told the little guy that he couldn't go.
Seeing that she was really tired, everyone stopped pressing her.Mother Cheng simmered the cooked soup again, told Cheng Xi to remember to drink it, and then followed her out.
Hearing the sudden silence in the room, Cheng Xi finally dared to relax. He collapsed on the bed, squinting for a while before he felt a little cold.
She reluctantly got up, went to the kitchen and turned off the fire, but she didn't have any appetite for soup, so she lay back down again.
After a while, the phone beside the bed vibrated suddenly, and Cheng Xi paused for a moment before realizing that someone was calling.
"Hello?" As soon as Cheng Xi opened her mouth, she was taken aback by her hoarse and dry voice. She quickly sat up, covered the phone's receiver, coughed a few times, and said to the phone when she felt better. : "Just fell asleep."
"Asleep?" Gong Yizhen on the other side of the phone felt tense, "Why are you falling asleep at this time? Are you uncomfortable?"
Cheng Xi managed to pull himself together, and said to the phone, "It's okay, it's just that I've been a little busy these two days."
Gong Yizhen hummed, "Then go to sleep."
Cheng Xi responded hastily, then threw the phone aside, pulled the quilt over and got lost again.
Probably because her body was a little hot, she slept very restlessly. She seemed to hear the sound of the door opening and someone whispering in the middle.
After a while, when someone wiped her forehead and cheeks with a hot towel, Cheng Xi's consciousness slowly regained consciousness.
She opened her eyes slightly, and when she focused her eyes and saw the person beside her clearly, her drowsy mind went blank, "Why are you here?"
Gong Yizhen watched her open her eyes, her face was still flushed abnormally, she felt a little anxious in her heart, and couldn't help muttering: "If I don't come again, are you going to burn yourself out?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xi touched his forehead subconsciously, "Do I have a fever? No wonder I've been dizzy..."
Seeing her confused like this, Gong Yizhen couldn't vent her anger anymore.She stood up and took a cup of warm water that she had prepared, then sat on the side of the bed and helped Cheng Xi up, allowing her to drink some slowly.
The door over there was opened, and Mother Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Xi woke up. The towel in her hand was taken by Gong Yizhen. I don’t know how to say it if I feel uncomfortable, what if it really burns out?”
Cheng Xi held his mother's hand and smiled, "I'm in good health, but I forgot to check the weather forecast these two days, and I don't wear enough clothes. It's fine, don't listen to her nonsense."
Gong Yizhen snorted, but didn't speak.
Mother Cheng sighed, and reached out to pat Cheng Xi's head, "Since Xiao Gong is here, let her watch you. I'll cook some porridge for you, eat a little bit."
Cheng Xi hummed, watched Cheng's mother go out, and then looked at Gong Yizhen who was standing aside: "Why did you come here today?"
Gong Yizhen said casually, "Anyway, I'm coming here tomorrow, aren't you happy to see me the day before?" Then, she stretched out her hand to remove Cheng Xi's clothes, and wiped them carefully for her. Once, it stopped.
Cheng Xi's face turned slightly red, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was because of the fever or because of Gong Yizhen's actions.
"Didn't you say before that there is a meeting tomorrow, so you can come here in the afternoon?"
"Push it off." Gong Yizhen replied bluntly, "It's just a meeting, it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen."
Although he said so, Cheng Xi knew that it must be because of him that Gong Yizhen rejected the meeting and ran over early.Although the children usually mess around a bit, they are still quite serious about their work.
Thinking about it this way, no wonder she hung up the phone so quickly at that time.
"Don't do this next time, I'm fine."
"Then you don't have a next time, let me know that you made yourself sick, and I will..." Gong Yizhen thought for a while, but she didn't think of any way to threaten Cheng Xi, so she simply said, "I'll just go out and have a cold by myself, and I'll recover from illness with you, and we'll share weal and woe."
Hearing this, Cheng Xi couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. She stretched out her hand to hold Gong Yizhen's hand, "What are you talking about, sharing weal and woe is not the way to go, you, just need to be clear about the priorities next time. What can happen at home?"
"Then tell me, what is priority?"
"I know you care about me, but am I fine? Things at work change rapidly. If you miss this meeting, you won't know when the next time will be. In comparison..."
"In comparison, you are the most important." Gong Yizhen looked at Cheng Xi with round eyes, and said without hesitation: "Besides, what is the comparison between you and them? Well, if this project is gone, there will naturally be another one, but my program analysis only has one."
Hearing these words, Cheng Xi felt warm in his heart, the words of love that were obviously disgusting when others said it, but when it came to Gong Yizhen's mouth, it was so direct and warm.
The hand she was holding lightly scratched Gong Yizhen's palm, then looked at her unclear gaze, moved her body slightly, and shifted her position, "Come up."
Gong Yizhen looked at Cheng Xi who was smiling, without hesitation, she quickly slipped in, and hugged Cheng Xi in her arms.
Feeling Gong Yizhen's breath, Cheng Xi rubbed her arms against her, feeling comfortable and at ease, and even relieved a lot of the numbness caused by the fever.
Gong Yizhen couldn't hold back, kissed Cheng Xi's face, and then slightly closed her eyes: "I need to drink medicine later."
Cheng Xi felt a trace of fatigue in her words, and guessed that she was driving all the way here, so he hummed lightly, "It's okay, Mom will come in in a while."
Gong Yizhen hummed, and closed her eyes in peace.
After a while, Mother Cheng pushed open the door, and looked at Gong Yizhen, who was already asleep, slightly stunned.
Cheng Xi sat up quietly, took the porridge from his mother's hand, and said softly, "She's been busy these days, so she's probably exhausted."
Mother Cheng nodded knowingly, handed over the medicine again, looked at the sleeping Gong Yizhen, and suddenly smiled.
Cheng Xi looked at his mother in surprise.
Mother Cheng patted her hand, didn't say anything, packed her things and told her to take a good rest, and went out.
Cheng Xi lay down quietly, and the person next to him moved his body as if he had sensed something, and got entangled with his hands and feet.
Cheng Xi stretched out his hand to comfort the agitated Gong Yizhen, then kissed her gently on the cheek, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
The author has something to say: Take a rest for tomorrow's update~~
Thank you, Xiao Ning Meng, for the landmines, meh!
Thank you for the low-pitched landmine, meh!
Thank you Red Sleeve for mine,
The air seemed to freeze.
Ji Jinxuan looked at Cheng Xi who was smiling like that, and his eyes seemed to drift to a long time ago, that girl with a high ponytail came out of the campus and said "All I want is you", and later, she thought for herself What she wanted, pushed away the person who had been with her for seven years with her own hands.
It turned out that the reason why they failed to get together in the end was just because they wanted something different...
Ji Jinxuan closed his eyes, then opened them again to look at the people around him.
"Have you ever blamed me?"
Watching her take the trembling cup in her hand and put it aside, she said softly, "Actually, no one is more noble than the other in terms of love and status."
"I never felt that you were sorry for me." Cheng Xi stared quietly at the person in front of him, and finally smiled again, "When you treat people well, you are really good. Whether it is bellflower flowers or headache medicine, you made it I remember everything. It’s just that there are some things that I can’t compare to. So just treat it as a loss.”
"Then you are not afraid..." Ji Jinxu lowered his voice, "Aren't you afraid of losing again?"
"I'm afraid," Cheng Xi thought for a while, and said frankly, "I was always afraid at first, so I never dared to admit that I actually like such a mischievous child."
"But then I found out that I didn't seem to have anything to fear."
"Because that person has paid so much, so much that I feel that even if we both fall off the cliff at the same time, she will put herself under her and protect me." Cheng Xi paused, "Thinking like this , I think what else can I lose?"
Ji Jinxuan looked at her and was silent for a long time.
Cheng Xi didn't care, she just felt the wind blowing by the window, with a hint of coolness, making people unable to help but miss the warmth, the warmth of a certain child, the warmth of their arms.
Ji Jinxu stood up straight, and she finally said with difficulty: "Congratulations, you got what you want."
Cheng Xi's beautiful eyebrows stretched out, she knew that Ji Jinxuan was actually a very rational person, although sometimes she was too stubborn about some things, but she could always see clearly what was best for her.
It would not be a good thing for her to continue to entangle with her and become an enemy of Gong Yizhen.
She nodded and said, "I hope you can see clearly what you really want. Anyway," she added, "don't lose yourself."
Before Ji Jinxu could answer, Cheng Xi turned and left.
Only this time, when Ji Jinxuan looked at Cheng Xi's back, he couldn't even pick up that feeling of unwillingness...
The author has something to say: Thank you yukino for the landmines, okay!
Thank you Sanhuai Mao for mine X[-], grenade, yum!
I have something to say in the last chapter. I don’t know if I’m stupid or the system is stupid. Anyway, I’m done. I also want to say that it’s just June 61. Chapter [-] wishes the cuties a happy holiday. Hey, I’m so angry!
Also, in the group, I saw a little angel saying that there are tweets on Weibo, thank you to that unknown little angel, Ai Li! (Hee hee jumped out and let me claim it?) (This is also something to say in the previous chapter)
And, the plot of this article has gone through most of the time, and there will not be much space in the future, so there will not be any sadomasochistic plot... It is more possible to have a sweet and toothless episode~
Okay, today is a sudden nagging.
☆、Chapter 63
Cheng Xi blew the wind at the door for a while before realizing that he was too drunk to drive.
She looked at her phone and made a call to Gong Yizhen.
After Gong Yizhen arrived, she casually glanced behind her, and then pulled her into the car.Before Cheng Xi could react, he had already sat in the car.
The chill on his body was driven away by the car heater, Cheng Xi fastened his seat belt, turned around and smiled softly at Gong Yizhen who was in the driver's seat: "That's great."
"What's the matter?" Gong Yizhen replied stiffly, but after seeing the smile on Cheng Xi's face, her momentum weakened again, and she muttered: "You don't want me to pick you up."
"Who said she didn't want to?" Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and poked Gong Yizhen's swollen cheek. Seeing that her face was slightly flushed and her eyes began to shine, Cheng Xi withdrew her hand and sat upright. He said solemnly, "Drive well."
Gong Yizhen snorted softly, stepped on the gas pedal, "I'll deal with you when I go back."
Cheng Xi chuckled lightly and didn't answer her words.
When the two arrived home, Gong Yizhen reached out and knotted the coat in her hand and threw it aside, then pushed Cheng Xi down on the sofa.
"I took great pains to choose such a comfortable sofa..." Gong Yizhen's eyes flickered with a strange light, like a child encouraging his companions to do bad things.
"Wait first..." Cheng Xi pressed his hands on Gong Yizhen's chest, and after feeling the softness of his palms, he choked back what he wanted to say.
It was rare for Cheng Xi to feel a little hot on her face. She looked at Gong Yizhen's bright eyes and coughed lightly, "I have something to tell you."
Gong Yizhen looked at her slightly flushed cheeks, and reluctantly wanted to move.
Cheng Xi shook his head, looking at her with clear eyes: "Good boy."
She paused, let go of her hands, sat up straight and looked at Cheng Xi: "Is it about Ji Jinxu?"
Cheng Xi opened his eyes slightly, and looked at her in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I saw her, just when I picked you up." Gong Yizhen paused, "You better stop trying."
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Gong Yizhen's words.
"I mean, Ji Jinxuan won't have any other choice. She will definitely marry He Zhonglian."
Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen who said these words calmly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The calm and deep look of Gong Yizhen made her a little strange.
She swallowed her saliva slightly to ease her rough throat, so that she could explain clearly to the person in front of her that all the things she wanted to say tonight had nothing to do with that person.
It's just that Gong Yizhen didn't give her this chance.
She just looked at Cheng Xi with a bit of surprise on her face, and the sense of loss in her heart spread uncontrollably.
Is Ji Jinyu really that important to you?Do you really care that much about whether she will get hurt and lose everything?
Probably because the feeling of disappointment was too strong, Gong Yizhen didn't have the intention of messing around, she just glanced at other places lightly, and wanted to change the topic: "If you have such a leisurely heart, don't think about the vacation we arranged ?”
Cheng Xi raised his eyes and glanced at her, but only saw Gong Yizhen turning his head away, not meeting her gaze.
"What did you do?" Cheng Xi paused, but still asked.
Gong Yizhen couldn't help clenching her palms, her bright eyes were dark, "What else do I need to do? She wants Ji Yunshan's seat like crazy, even if I don't do anything, she won't." It’s still the way to go.”
"What kind of path she likes to take and what kind of choice she makes is her own business." Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen firmly, "I won't take care of her affairs anymore, and you don't need to meddle in."
Gong Yizhen blinked slightly, she turned her head to look at Cheng Xi: "You don't care about her, I believe in you, but if you want me to ignore her, it's already too late."
"What the hell did you do?" Cheng Xi looked at the person in front of him stiffly, feeling confused for a moment, "The two of them don't get along well, why are you messing around?"
"Anyway, you don't plan to bother her anymore, so these things are not important." Gong Yizhen wanted to reach out to hold Cheng Xi, but when she sensed her resistance, the movements of her hands paused, and she lowered her head and said : "Or, you just care about her?"
"It has nothing to do with her! Do you know, if you meddle in those things because of me, what will I think? What will your brother think? Gong Yizhen, didn't you say you believed me? You are going to tell me now Me, is that why you trust me?"
Gong Yizhen looked at Cheng Xi, who had rarely lost his composure, and originally wanted to hold Cheng Xi's hand, but finally took it back silently.
In fact, the sourness in her heart has rushed to the bottom of her eyes, but after all, she is no longer the old lady who only knows how to mess around.
The photo that He Zhonglian gave her was in the car, and even if she wanted to let it go, she didn't want this person to be in any danger.
So even if she wanted to hug Cheng Xi like before and tell her all the true thoughts in her heart with tears, now she can only turn her head away in anger and say stubbornly: "If you really don't care It doesn't matter what happens to this person, it doesn't matter if she climbs up or falls off. Besides, doesn't she want to cooperate with He Zhonglian? I'll help her make up her mind. If she gets what she wants, she won't bother her again. is you."
Gong Yizhen glanced at Cheng Xi, almost unable to suppress the sadness in her heart, and said angrily, "Isn't this better?"
Cheng Xi looked deeply at Gong Yizhen, his heart sank.
She knew that Gong Yizhen had been holding back her hostility towards Ji Jinxu all this time, but during this time, she thought that the child in front of her had grown a lot, and at least she would express her dissatisfaction to herself instead of acting impulsively alone. matter.
However, she thought it was too simple after all.Gong Yizhen, who was straightforward and reckless in doing things back then, has not changed at all, she still just acts according to her own temperament and reckless of consequences.
In fact, she didn't care what Ji Jinxu would choose in the end, because everything that should be said between them had already been made clear.No matter how great the relationship is, there should be a time for understanding.
She was just worried that Gong Yizhen would get into unexpected trouble for her involvement in this, and she was even more worried about what price she would pay for her impulsiveness.
But now Gong Yizhen can no longer listen to what she said.
Cheng Xi suddenly felt a headache.
Gong Yizhen looked at the disappointment faintly revealed on her face, and felt as if she had been pricked by a needle in her heart.
"I just can't take it anymore." She lowered her head, not looking at the heartbroken look on Cheng Xi's face, "I can't help that you still think about that person in your heart, can't bear her unwilling eyes when she looks at you, Even if I know that I can't erase your past, thinking like this will only make me suffer more... But I still can't bear it in my heart," Gong Yizhen still didn't look at her, but said with a little indifference: "I I have never been a person who is good at patience, so no matter what the cost is, to me, it is not as important as keeping you."
"Keep me?" Cheng Xi looked at her, "You said in order to keep me, what am I to you? Is it a doll that anyone can take away? That's why you are so anxious..."
Gong Yizhen suddenly looked up at her, "You are not!"
Cheng Xi suddenly smiled wryly, and she reached out to touch Gong Yizhen's head, of course she knew that children would not miss her like this.It's just that their conversation today made people unable to help but say some angry words.
Gong Yizhen looked at her outstretched hand, and the soreness buried deep in her eyes surged up as if she was about to be unable to bear it anymore.
"Gong Yizhen, I will only say these words once."
"From the moment I agreed to be with you, I never thought about having anything to do with the past." Cheng Xi sighed softly, "No matter how many times I have said before that you are too nonsense and self-willed, I will stop you." You can't help but bump into my heart. I also thought about it, I am so much older than you, and I have a past that people can't ignore. Love is a matter between two people, but there are so many variables in this world, how can you guarantee that you can go to the end by guarding each other?"
Gong Yizhen's heart tightened, this was the first time that Cheng Xi had directly confessed the concerns in her heart to her.
"We both have so much anxiety about ourselves, wouldn't it be more difficult to move forward if we take care of others?" Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen for a moment, grabbed his hand and hugged him tightly. live.
She closed her eyes, feeling this warm embrace, her heart seemed to melt.
"I understand what you mean, I won't care about other people," Gong Yizhen hugged her tightly, kissed her hair, and then continued: "The two of us will go to the end, no matter how big the change is, Nothing can be changed, and I will do what I say.”
So she can't just let this matter go... Although this matter is caused by Ji Jinxuan, if He Zhonglianda can't get his wish and can't touch the members of Ji's family, it doesn't mean that he won't take out his anger on others... Anyway, she Cheng Xi couldn't be allowed to fall into that dangerous situation.
Gong Yizhen hugged the person in her arms tightly, and the expression on her face gradually became firm.
Just this time, sorry for not telling you the truth...
Nanshan's bidding went quite smoothly, and the two companies signed the contract after winning the bid.It's just that He Zhonglian is an old fox after all, and he didn't give up anything when he signed the contract, which really made Gong Yizhen fight a tough battle, and the planning right for the Nanshan Welfare Institute was not established.
But Gong Yizhen is not in a hurry, there is still a lot of work in the early stage, and no one can make a conclusion until the end, which one will benefit more.
He Zhonglian seemed to appreciate her behavior very much, and invited her to dinner after the meeting.
Gong Yizhen probably remembered the joke that He Zhonglian made when the two met for the first time, she curled her lips and rejected it straightforwardly.
Seeing her defensive face, He Zhonglian smiled very heartily, which was very different from the appearance of fighting for nothing just now.
"I'm afraid Mr. Gong has misunderstood something like this? I just admire your style of conduct."
"There's nothing to misunderstand." Gong Yizhen stood up, and glanced at the contract in her hand, "If Mr. He really appreciates it, it's better to have something real."
He Zhonglian laughed, "This is a different matter, Mr. Gong, in business, it's better not to play the emotional card."
"There is no difference between appreciating and not appreciating. After all, what we value is only the numbers on the contract." Gong Yizhen said simply and neatly: "Boss He doesn't need to exchange pleasantries, see you next time."
He Zhonglian smiled, stood up, and was about to send her out when his secretary came in and said, "Boss, Miss has been waiting outside for half an hour."
He Zhonglian frowned when he heard this, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
The secretary replied awkwardly: "You were in a meeting just now..."
Hearing this, Gong Yizhen guessed that the lady mentioned by the secretary must be the one He Zhonglian really admired... But the private lives of these diamond kings and fives are really messy enough, and the news of their engagement to Ji Jinxuan must released...
She shook her head and didn't think about things that had nothing to do with her. In short, Ji Yunshan's pressure on Ji Jinzhu was strong enough for her to agree to the engagement, so she didn't care much about it.
When Nanshan's case is settled, she can discuss vacation with Cheng Xi.
Thinking of this, Gong Yizhen couldn't help but put a smile on her face, and her tone towards He Zhonglian became a little bit better, "Mr. He doesn't need to send it away, you can do your work first."
He Zhonglian hummed and walked out of the meeting room.
Gong Yizhen handed the document to Assistant Song who was standing behind her, and then walked out.
When they got to the elevator entrance, Gong Yizhen caught a glimpse of He Zhonglian talking to a young girl.
The girl probably sensed something, raised her head and glanced this way, just in time to meet Shang Gong Yizhen's gaze.
Gong Yizhen paused, nodded slightly to her, and walked into the elevator, so she couldn't see the surprised expression on the man's face.
After returning to the company, Gong Yizhen handed over the work to Assistant Song to arrange, and then stayed in the cubicle in the office to rest.
In a daze, Gong Yizhen suddenly smelled the aroma of coffee, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Sun Ru's smiling face.
She froze for a moment, then sat up and looked at the person standing beside her, "Why are you here?"
"Let's deal with my remaining mess." Sun Ru smiled, "I didn't expect that I would be so unlucky that I happened to catch up with you to sign the contract, and I didn't see you all morning."
Gong Yizhen smiled, took the coffee in her hand, and asked, "Why, you didn't do well outside, do you want to come back?"
"You talk, can you hope that others will take care of you?" Sun Rubai gave her a look: "A talented person like me is very popular everywhere, okay? It's just you, I don't know how to keep a talent like me."
"It's hard to say anything else, but this narcissistic talent has grown." Gong Yizhen said solemnly, seeing that Sun Ru's face darkened, she was about to make a move.
"Hey, be careful with the coffee!" Gong Yizhen yelled hastily, but she still resisted and spilled it.
Sun Ru stopped her hands in embarrassment, she looked at the stains on Gong Yizhen's body, and said, "Do you want to change it?"
Gong Yizhen nodded, stood up, and looked in the built-in closet beside her.
Sun Ru paused, and suddenly asked, "Did you go to the He Group today?"
"En." Gong Yizhen responded.
"It's not a good choice to share the land in Nanshan with them." Sun Ru shook her head, "It's not a good choice."
Gong Yizhen paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at Sun Ru, "The other things may not be easy, not to mention, finding him is killing two birds with one stone."
"Two birds with one stone?" Sun Ru raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Could it be Ji Jinxu?"
Gong Yizhen hummed, and continued: "Even you know, it seems that their engagement is a certainty."
"If Ji Jinxuan knew that you contributed to her engagement, how would she feel?"
Gong Yizhen's voice was slightly indifferent, "I don't care what she thinks, as long as she doesn't bother Cheng Xi in the future."
Seeing Gong Yizhen's indifferent expression, Sun Ru asked hesitantly, "Does Cheng Xi know what you do?"
"She doesn't need to know." Gong Yizhen took a new shirt and put it on with her back to Sun Ru, "Besides, since Ji Jinzhen can't let go of that position, no matter what the price is, it's her own choice."
Sun Ru touched the hand of the coffee cup and rubbed it slightly.
She looked up at Gong Yizhen who had already changed her clothes, then stood up and walked out of the rest room with her.
Gong Yizhen pushed open the door, then froze there.
Cheng Xi was standing in front of her desk, her gaze quietly fell on Gong Yizhen's unbuttoned shirt, and then Sun Ru who followed behind with a slightly surprised expression.
Gong Yizhen was startled for a moment, and then walked over quickly, "When did you come?"
"It's not too early or too late." Cheng Xi's beautiful eyebrows showed no trace of emotion, "I just heard you chatting for a while."
Gong Yizhen felt her hands tremble, she hurriedly grabbed Cheng Xi, opened her mouth but found that she had nothing to say.
The matter is obvious, and Cheng Xi probably only thinks that she, Gong Yizhen, is not only acting willfully and impulsively, but has even learned to deceive her...
Cheng Xi looked at his hand that was held by Gong Yizhen, calmed his breath slightly, and smiled at Sun Ru: "I wonder if Ms. Sun has finished reminiscing about the past? She and I have something to talk about."
The implication is, can you please leave first?
Sun Ru glanced at Gong Yizhen holding Cheng Xi's hand tightly, frowned imperceptibly, then nodded again, "Talk, I'll go first."
The office door was opened and closed.
Then there was silence.
The author has something to say: Because I have to catch up with the list, I will continue to update it tomorrow, okay~
☆、Chapter 64
Assistant Song naturally knew Cheng Xi.
In a sense, this is my own proprietress.So after seeing her coming, he told Cheng Xi without the slightest hesitation that Gong Yizhen was resting in the office at the moment, and then kindly told others not to go in and disturb her.
However, when he saw Sun Ru coming out from the inside with an unsightly expression, his heart skipped a beat.
Sun Ru just glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything.
The silence in the office was quickly broken.
Gong Yizhen looked at the calm Cheng Xi, and tightened her heart a bit, but she loosened her grip on her hand.
Cheng Xi's eyes fell on his loosened wrist, and he sighed softly: "You have nothing to say to me?"
"What did you say?" Gong Yizhen asked back, she looked away uncomfortably, even though she thought she did nothing wrong, seeing Cheng Xi's expression at the moment, Gong Yizhen suddenly felt a little guilty .
Cheng Xi stared fixedly at Gong Yizhen, who was dodging a bit, and felt an indescribable helplessness in his heart, "You didn't intend to stop at the beginning, did you? Gong Yizhen, you really grew up!" So, you who are so frank and direct, have you learned to perfunctory me now?"
When Gong Yizhen heard this, she felt even more unhappy, and subconsciously replied: "Then do you care about my perfunctory, or the choice Ji Jindi was forced to make?"
Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen with a hint of disbelief, and a wry smile appeared on her lips: "Gong Yizhen, nothing I say now can change your mind, can it?"
"Anyway, the matter has come to this point, Ji Jinpin has already agreed to He Zhonglian's agreement." Gong Yizhen grabbed Cheng Xi's hand, a faint light flickered in her eyes, "It's too late if you try to persuade her. "
Cheng Xi looked at Gong Yizhen still stubbornly, lowered his head slightly, feeling tired for no reason.
She looked at the wrist tightly grasped by Gong Yizhen, curled her lips but couldn't smile, "Gong Yizhen, have you ever thought about whether I care too much about Ji Jinxu, or you care too much about her? "
Gong Yizhen was stunned for a moment, but just kept silent.
"You said that the past can't be erased, I admit it. But I don't plan to live in the past forever, but if I plan to only look at the future, but you still stare at the past, what should I do? "
"I want you to only look at me..." Gong Yizhen felt as if someone had severely grabbed her heart, it was extremely uncomfortable, she could listen to Cheng Xi talking about her messing around, scolding her for being ignorant, But it was difficult to face Cheng Xi who spoke of disappointment in such a weak and tired voice.
Cheng Xi closed his eyes, looked at Gong Yizhen who was still about to say something, and felt that there was nothing more hurtful than this kind of helplessness.
"Both of us, maybe we need to calm down." Cheng Xi let out a long breath, so as to ease the pent-up emotions in his heart, "I know you can't be blamed for this matter, it's because I failed to make you feel at ease... But there are still so many things we will encounter in the future, if it all ends in this way, you and I will be tired."
"I won't!" Gong Yizhen stared at Cheng Xi, "I know exactly what I'm doing, I just want you, you and me, just us."
"But there are not only the two of us in this world, if in the future..." Cheng Xi closed his eyes, then looked at the stubborn Gong Yizhen: "If your brother also opposes us in the future, you have to do whatever it takes Standing against him?"
Gong Yizhen held Cheng Xi's hand and couldn't help but increase her strength, "So what, I said, if I want to go to the end with you, no one can stop me."
"Do you think I'll be happy hearing you say that?" Cheng Xi lowered his neck, showing a sense of powerlessness: "What I want now is for two people to be together properly. I really can't afford it."
Gong Yizhen's eyes fell on Cheng Xi's slender neck, and her throat suddenly felt a bit constricted. She couldn't help but leaned over, reached out and hugged the person in front of her, and gently rubbed the slightly cool skin: "I I also want to be with you well. You don’t have to worry about my brother. I can handle him myself. Don’t be afraid of those storms, okay? ...Don't say such things." Don't say such helpless and lonely words, it feels like she is still a mischievous child, and she will never become the dependable appearance that Cheng Xi wants.
Cheng Xi felt Gong Yizhen's warm skin against her neck, and her head suddenly collapsed. She stretched out her arms to hug Gong Yizhen, and closed her sore eyes, "I'm sorry..."
Gong Yizhen tightened her hand holding her, "I don't want you to say I'm sorry, I just want you not to leave me behind, and don't be disappointed in me, okay?"
Cheng Xi took a deep breath and replied in a low voice, "Okay."
Even if both of them understand that the other's way of dealing with it is not what they want to see, and they both know that this cannot be changed, but the peace of mind and steadfastness of being able to hug the person in their arms tightly is something they cannot do anyway. Let go.
……
During the meal, Cheng Xi said that she was going back to City Z. After half a year's deliberation, Cheng's mother and Uncle Zhang decided to hold a simple wedding.
Gong Yizhen also wanted to go back with her, but there were too many things going on in the company, she couldn't get away at all, so she had to wait until the day before the wedding.
When discussing this matter, the two of them also subconsciously avoided those unpleasant topics. Until a while later, Cheng Xi never mentioned anything about Ji Jinxuan.
But in the same city, and Ji Jinxuan is such an influential figure, even if he didn't intend to inquire about it, he would inevitably hear some news from other people.The date of Ji Jinxuan's and He Zhonglian's engagement is just after the year, and before that, the top management of the Ji family also started a moderate change.
It seems that Ji Jinxuan's plan is going quite smoothly.
Cheng Xi couldn't help but sneer when he heard the faces of the bosses on the opposite side who still didn't forget to tease each other. In fact, compared to their natural curiosity and desire to gossip, these so-called successful people are no more reserved and restrained than the old ladies on the street. where to go.
She followed Mr. Cai to stand up, said goodbye to everyone and left the box.
Mr. Cai asked Cheng Xi while walking out, "Are you going back tomorrow?"
Cheng Xi nodded and smiled: "Mr. Cai, don't worry, I will come back on time to sell the vacation."
Mr. Cai laughed a few times: "Your words have reached my heart. I don't want my capable person to leave the company for too long." Speaking of this, he paused, "But those who were at the dinner table just now If you don't, don't take it to heart."
Cheng Xi smiled lightly: "Mr. Cai, don't worry, what you say has nothing to do with Fengyuan."
"With your words, I'm relieved." Mr. Cai showed a satisfied look on his face, waved his hands and said, "Although you are busy with family affairs, the company, you don't have to worry about these few days."
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, and said goodbye to Mr. Cai at the door.
When I went back the next day, Gong Yizhen originally wanted to postpone the meeting to see her off, but it was only a three-hour drive, and this time I went back to help Cheng's mother with some trivial matters, and it was not an urgent matter, so Cheng Xi decided to After giving a good lecture to his own child, he pushed her to the company and went back by himself.
When they got home, Cheng Xi followed Mama Cheng.Uncle Zhang's son, Zhang Jing, has been working abroad for the past few years. Hearing that his father found a wife, he rushed back with his wife and children.The two families discussed many matters together, and it was quite lively.
Although the intention of the two elders was simply to hold a banquet and invite a few old friends to have a good time, the two children were quite attentive, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which made them feel warm , no longer excuse anything.
Because Uncle Zhang's son had been abroad all these years, he didn't know much about his family's situation, so Cheng Xi took care of the master of ceremonies, banquets and so on.
When things were arranged properly, Zhang Jing said that he would take his family out to have a hot pot together. His youngest son, who had been with Cheng Xi for a few days, was no longer afraid of life, so he jumped in front of Cheng Xi and called his aunt out for dinner.
Cheng Xi patted his head and told the little guy that he couldn't go.
Seeing that she was really tired, everyone stopped pressing her.Mother Cheng simmered the cooked soup again, told Cheng Xi to remember to drink it, and then followed her out.
Hearing the sudden silence in the room, Cheng Xi finally dared to relax. He collapsed on the bed, squinting for a while before he felt a little cold.
She reluctantly got up, went to the kitchen and turned off the fire, but she didn't have any appetite for soup, so she lay back down again.
After a while, the phone beside the bed vibrated suddenly, and Cheng Xi paused for a moment before realizing that someone was calling.
"Hello?" As soon as Cheng Xi opened her mouth, she was taken aback by her hoarse and dry voice. She quickly sat up, covered the phone's receiver, coughed a few times, and said to the phone when she felt better. : "Just fell asleep."
"Asleep?" Gong Yizhen on the other side of the phone felt tense, "Why are you falling asleep at this time? Are you uncomfortable?"
Cheng Xi managed to pull himself together, and said to the phone, "It's okay, it's just that I've been a little busy these two days."
Gong Yizhen hummed, "Then go to sleep."
Cheng Xi responded hastily, then threw the phone aside, pulled the quilt over and got lost again.
Probably because her body was a little hot, she slept very restlessly. She seemed to hear the sound of the door opening and someone whispering in the middle.
After a while, when someone wiped her forehead and cheeks with a hot towel, Cheng Xi's consciousness slowly regained consciousness.
She opened her eyes slightly, and when she focused her eyes and saw the person beside her clearly, her drowsy mind went blank, "Why are you here?"
Gong Yizhen watched her open her eyes, her face was still flushed abnormally, she felt a little anxious in her heart, and couldn't help muttering: "If I don't come again, are you going to burn yourself out?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xi touched his forehead subconsciously, "Do I have a fever? No wonder I've been dizzy..."
Seeing her confused like this, Gong Yizhen couldn't vent her anger anymore.She stood up and took a cup of warm water that she had prepared, then sat on the side of the bed and helped Cheng Xi up, allowing her to drink some slowly.
The door over there was opened, and Mother Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Xi woke up. The towel in her hand was taken by Gong Yizhen. I don’t know how to say it if I feel uncomfortable, what if it really burns out?”
Cheng Xi held his mother's hand and smiled, "I'm in good health, but I forgot to check the weather forecast these two days, and I don't wear enough clothes. It's fine, don't listen to her nonsense."
Gong Yizhen snorted, but didn't speak.
Mother Cheng sighed, and reached out to pat Cheng Xi's head, "Since Xiao Gong is here, let her watch you. I'll cook some porridge for you, eat a little bit."
Cheng Xi hummed, watched Cheng's mother go out, and then looked at Gong Yizhen who was standing aside: "Why did you come here today?"
Gong Yizhen said casually, "Anyway, I'm coming here tomorrow, aren't you happy to see me the day before?" Then, she stretched out her hand to remove Cheng Xi's clothes, and wiped them carefully for her. Once, it stopped.
Cheng Xi's face turned slightly red, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was because of the fever or because of Gong Yizhen's actions.
"Didn't you say before that there is a meeting tomorrow, so you can come here in the afternoon?"
"Push it off." Gong Yizhen replied bluntly, "It's just a meeting, it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen."
Although he said so, Cheng Xi knew that it must be because of him that Gong Yizhen rejected the meeting and ran over early.Although the children usually mess around a bit, they are still quite serious about their work.
Thinking about it this way, no wonder she hung up the phone so quickly at that time.
"Don't do this next time, I'm fine."
"Then you don't have a next time, let me know that you made yourself sick, and I will..." Gong Yizhen thought for a while, but she didn't think of any way to threaten Cheng Xi, so she simply said, "I'll just go out and have a cold by myself, and I'll recover from illness with you, and we'll share weal and woe."
Hearing this, Cheng Xi couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. She stretched out her hand to hold Gong Yizhen's hand, "What are you talking about, sharing weal and woe is not the way to go, you, just need to be clear about the priorities next time. What can happen at home?"
"Then tell me, what is priority?"
"I know you care about me, but am I fine? Things at work change rapidly. If you miss this meeting, you won't know when the next time will be. In comparison..."
"In comparison, you are the most important." Gong Yizhen looked at Cheng Xi with round eyes, and said without hesitation: "Besides, what is the comparison between you and them? Well, if this project is gone, there will naturally be another one, but my program analysis only has one."
Hearing these words, Cheng Xi felt warm in his heart, the words of love that were obviously disgusting when others said it, but when it came to Gong Yizhen's mouth, it was so direct and warm.
The hand she was holding lightly scratched Gong Yizhen's palm, then looked at her unclear gaze, moved her body slightly, and shifted her position, "Come up."
Gong Yizhen looked at Cheng Xi who was smiling, without hesitation, she quickly slipped in, and hugged Cheng Xi in her arms.
Feeling Gong Yizhen's breath, Cheng Xi rubbed her arms against her, feeling comfortable and at ease, and even relieved a lot of the numbness caused by the fever.
Gong Yizhen couldn't hold back, kissed Cheng Xi's face, and then slightly closed her eyes: "I need to drink medicine later."
Cheng Xi felt a trace of fatigue in her words, and guessed that she was driving all the way here, so he hummed lightly, "It's okay, Mom will come in in a while."
Gong Yizhen hummed, and closed her eyes in peace.
After a while, Mother Cheng pushed open the door, and looked at Gong Yizhen, who was already asleep, slightly stunned.
Cheng Xi sat up quietly, took the porridge from his mother's hand, and said softly, "She's been busy these days, so she's probably exhausted."
Mother Cheng nodded knowingly, handed over the medicine again, looked at the sleeping Gong Yizhen, and suddenly smiled.
Cheng Xi looked at his mother in surprise.
Mother Cheng patted her hand, didn't say anything, packed her things and told her to take a good rest, and went out.
Cheng Xi lay down quietly, and the person next to him moved his body as if he had sensed something, and got entangled with his hands and feet.
Cheng Xi stretched out his hand to comfort the agitated Gong Yizhen, then kissed her gently on the cheek, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
