10 month 13 day.

Before changing her mobile phone, Hua Lingnan also used this day as her mobile phone password.

In previous years, he would prepare gifts very early. Even if he thought he would not get a "lucky gift", he would still set aside a whole day on this day to prepare for a rainy day.

However, on this day this year, he was scheduled to attend a charity gala early in the morning.When it is not a disaster relief event, the high-profile and low-key Hua Lingnan is used to donating money but not attending such charity activities when invited, but this time, he chose to attend and accepted the invitation to be a guest performer.

Early in the morning, Ding Kuan came to Hualingnan's apartment.

Ding Kuan is really a good assistant.His principle of treating Hua Lingnan is basically not to look at what should not be seen, not to say what should not be said, and to ignore what should not be cared about. Sometimes, when he really interferes with something, Hua Lingnan will not be disgusted at all, but trusts the other party very much. It was out of kindness and concern... However, today's situation made Hua Lingnan a little embarrassed.

It was a gift that was carefully wrapped. "Brother Lingnan, President Qi's birthday is today. I'm afraid you'll forget it, so I prepared a gift for you." Ding Kuan explained while handing it to Hua Lingnan.

What can Hualingnan do?Say you don't need this gift?Said he wasn't going to spend his time giving Qi Shaoqin a birthday present?

Ding Kuan came to pick him up so early, and it was still far away from the time to participate in the event, so he naturally planned to take him to see Qi Shaoqin first.Tonight's activities will be carried out very late, Ding Kuan thinks it is impossible for him to get home before twelve o'clock, and hopes that he can deliver the gift within today.

Hua Lingnan didn't need such kindness this time, but usually it was difficult for him to refuse others' kindness.After sighing secretly, he took the gift: "Are you trying to say that it's time for us to leave? Then drop by Qi Shaoqin's company?"

In fact, it was going in two directions, but Ding Kuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, anyway."

"Okay, let's go."

Arriving at Qi Shaoqin's company, Hua Lingnan left Ding Kuan in the car and went upstairs to meet Qi Shaoqin.

Qi Shaoqin's secretary was very enthusiastic after seeing Hua Lingnan. "President Qi happened to be discussing a cooperation with a friend he knew. Mr. Hua, you can go in and don't disturb."

Hua Lingnan is not familiar with this Secretary Zhang, probably only a few times. Secretary Zhang has always been very friendly to him. Although he blocked Hua Lingnan before when he came up, both times it was because Qi Shaoqin brought his little one. The lover came into the office.The second time, Hua Lingnan broke into the living room outside Qi Shaoqin's office suite, and Secretary Zhang didn't call for security.

Today, obviously there is no "little lover incident," Secretary Zhang was not at all embarrassed when he saw Hua Lingnan, on the contrary, he was quite happy to see Hua Lingnan's appearance.

...I always feel that everyone really wishes him well for Qi Shaoqin.

Hua Lingnan laughed at his wonderful feeling. After being allowed to enter, he smiled at Secretary Zhang and walked directly into Qi Shaoqin's office suite.

Qi Shaoqin's office layout is relatively rare, his secretary sits in the outermost room, the middle is a living room, and the innermost is the real office.Walking into the compartment of the living room, Hua Lingnan subconsciously slowed down his steps.

The last time he came here, he was in this living room listening to the unrestrained cries of Qi Shaoqin's little lover.

He was clearly disappointed at that time, but his hands and feet were still cold.

...Obviously now that he has decided not to be serious and not to lose again...he is still afraid.

——If the friend in the office is not talking about cooperation with Qi Shaoqin, if they are doing something else...

Hua Lingnan subconsciously stopped.

That time, he stood behind this door, trying to open the locked office door. He thought about knocking hard on the door, but in the end, he couldn't even find the strength to raise his hand.

And now, with his hand on the doorknob, he forgot to move.

Sure enough, the sound insulation is not very good, and there are vague conversations coming from the door.The friend said loudly with emotion: "You are still the Qi Shaoqin I know! You treat him as a treasure and treat you as a backup. Today is your birthday, but he ran to an old lover who will get divorced and regain freedom, and you, Apart from sitting here distracted and preoccupied, I actually do nothing!"

Hua Lingnan didn't understand Qi Shaoqin's answer.Recently, Hua Lingnan's hearing in his left ear has been stabilized at 20%. However, it is difficult for Qi Shaoqin's always deep voice to come out from the closed door.

For a moment, Hua Lingnan suddenly realized that Qi Shaoqin in front of him would always speak in a relatively loud voice, which was quite inconsistent with the style of the calm boss.Presumably the parties themselves are quite tired.

"Are you pretending to be a lover!" The friend's exaggerated tone came from the room. "I thought there was something wrong with you before! You said that you were originally a clean freak! As long as you had a little ambiguity with others, you would immediately abandon it as if it were a waste of money. As a result, Hualingnan was obviously raped by others, and you actually only thought about it. To prevent him from being too shocked, he just poured this dirt on his head..."

"I told you not to mention this matter again!" Qi Shaoqin suddenly interrupted sharply.

Hua Lingnan didn't listen any more.It took him a while to digest the unexpected information, then turned around and left immediately after he recovered his senses.

He could feel his whole body trembling, whether from anger or embarrassment, he couldn't tell.He didn't expect Qi Shaoqin to dare to deceive him on such an important matter.And he was so stupid that he actually felt relieved after thinking that the man was Qi Shaoqin.

Walking out of the living room, Hua Lingnan met Secretary Zhang.Probably because his face was too ugly, Secretary Zhang quickly noticed the abnormality.

"Mr. Hua, you didn't go in to see Mr. Qi?" She asked tentatively.

Hua Lingnan tried hard to recall how he usually acted: "I just heard outside the office that Mr. Qi's friend gave the same gift as me. After much deliberation, I decided to change the gift. Do me a favor, don't tell Mr. Qi that I have been there ?”

Secretary Zhang hesitated slightly and nodded: "Oh, good."

It could be seen that she didn't believe Hua Lingnan's words, and would probably tell her boss respectfully.Hua Lingnan couldn't do anything about it either, he just walked towards the fire stairs after a simple farewell.

Hua Lingnan walked down the 24th floor of the stairs step by step, hoping to calm his emotions.However, when he came downstairs to get in the car, Ding Kuan immediately realized that something must have happened.

Ding Kuan, who has always advanced and retreated properly, didn't even say a word about Hua Lingnan's return with a gift. He asked for advice in a gentle tone: "Brother Lingnan, shall we go to the event site now?"

Hua Lingnan nodded silently.He really thought that he didn't need to act nonchalantly in front of Ding Kuan, and he gave up covering up, which immediately made him feel a lot easier.

The car started slowly.Outside the car window, passers-by were in a hurry, and the light gray clouds were rolling in the low altitude. Hua Lingnan unconsciously stared at the unknown distance in a daze.

He was really angry with Qi Shaoqin's behavior.The man who once blamed him for not confessing his sincerity actually lied to him even more directly.

However, having said that, from this incident, he got more of a warning——

Qi Shaoqin said that he hoped that Hua Lingnan could tell the truth, but in reality, how much did he say the truth?

How many times has he spoken the truth?How much truth did you hide?

Perhaps, the two of them are too similar...too similar that there is no way to be together.

——Two people who can't even say "I love you" are together, what can they say between them?What can we tell each other...

Hua Lingnan lowered his head and found his mobile phone from his pocket.

It's time to make a decision.

Qi Shaoqin, who is so obsessed with cleanliness, has been hanging out with him for so long for no apparent reason.

Therefore, this matter can only be done by him.

This situation must end.It's time to end this situation.

On the screen of the unlocked phone, Hua Lingnan found Xia Junlin's phone number.

"Hello, Lingnan?" Soon after the phone was connected, Xia Junlin's familiar voice came. The tone of this man who must have been devastated these two days was as calm and warm as ever.

Hua Lingnan replied nonchalantly: "Well, it's me. I specially called to invite you. Tonight I have a show at Xinhuo's charity gala. I said to myself that you will attend anyway, and I want you to be my performance partner."

Xia Junlin's voice paused slightly, and then he smiled slightly self-deprecating: "You are the only one who didn't mention the divorce to me among the people who called in the past two days."

"I never say annoying things, I only say lines that make people want to die."

Xia Junlin smiled softly: "Fortunately, I didn't feel any pain."

"If it doesn't hurt, come to a cheerful show with me tonight?"

"Okay, no problem. Anyway, people all over the country know that I can't sing."

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to sing. What I want is everyone's laughter, not everyone's ridicule."

Xia Junlin sighed intentionally, but said in a smiling tone, "You are really good at speaking lines that make people want to die."

Hua Lingnan took it for granted: "This is the only way to remind everyone to live strong and enterprising."

"You're right." Xia Junlin replied a little seriously.

"So, it's settled then? When we meet later, I will explain to you the content of the program that needs your cooperation."

"Okay."

"See you later."

"……and many more--"

Hua Lingnan was about to hang up the phone when Xia Junlin's hesitant voice came.Through the phone, Hua Lingnan could feel the deep trouble and entanglement of the other party who hesitated to speak.

"I'm quite patient, just wait." Hua Lingnan said and really listened quietly.

Xia Junlin slowed down his speech, as if he regretted every word he said.

"Do you remember that day? You said that you no longer like Qi Shaoqin, you said you have someone else in your heart?"

"I remember."

Another long pause.

"Who is that person?" Finally, Xia Junlin asked.

Hua Lingnan quickly said the prepared lines: "I can tell you, but you must not spread it. That person is Han Zheng."

"...You haven't worked with him before, have you?"

"I've seen his commercials and he's very handsome."

"...Because of this?"

"Looking at Qi Shaoqin's appearance, you should know that I am Yan Kong."

Xia Junlin didn't speak any more.

Hua Lingnan thought for a while and added: "I have a pillow that Han Zheng endorsed for that phone, and I can lend it to you when you come to visit."

After a while.

Xia Junlin finally laughed again.

"That's forgivable. A friend's wife can't be bullied."
