night fades

After dawn, Zhou Ning'an packed himself up and prepared to go to the company for a meeting. When he was putting on his tie in front of the mirror, he was in a daze for a moment, feeling that something was wrong.Thinking about it carefully, he usually let Lin Ye watch him put on his tie when he got up, and Lin Ye would help him adjust it if he didn't tie it properly.Suddenly looking at myself in the mirror felt strange. It turns out that people can adapt so quickly to being good.

When he arrived at the company, he never lacked things to distract him. There were always endless meetings and endless documents waiting to be processed. Among them, the frequency of cooperation with the Song family was so high that he could not ignore it.

Marrying Song Yan is the best cooperation that everyone knows well.Although no one will say it now, there are already many old shareholders who, without saying anything, have already recognized the marriage for him in their hearts.

Zhou Ning'an picked up the phone and wanted to call Song Yan, but was always in a daze at Lin Ye's number.He looked at their last text message, and always thought of the sentence in his mind, "Of course I don't like him. It's a joke to fall in love with someone like him."

He could even imagine the faint smile on Lin Ye's mouth when he said that, like mocking, but also casually.Maybe he was still smoking a cigarette, casually negating all his expectations of him.

Song Yan quickly agreed to meet him, and they met in the company's reception room without any emotion. Song Yan was dressed in formal attire, her makeup was exquisite and tidy, and she asked him what he thought about this cooperation without any shyness. That's it.

Every time he faced this strong and straightforward woman, Zhou Ning'an couldn't help feeling a little bit sad, what he was sad about, and for whom, he couldn't explain clearly.

"Have you really thought about it? After all, it's a lifelong event." Zhou Ning'an asked slowly.

"My considerations and the results of my considerations have already been sent to you. No matter how you analyze them, they will benefit both of us. Do you have any questions?"

"If it's cooperation, I have no problem." Zhou Ning settled down, "I just have doubts about the cooperation method."

"Doubt?" Song Yan let out a sneer, leaning forward to look at him, "Since we became adults, no, since we were born, it has basically been determined that our marriage can only be in this form, don't you After more than 20 years of preparation, are you still not ready?"

Zhou Ning'an frowned slightly, glanced at her, and replied calmly: "In my plan for my company and myself, the cooperation that can only be achieved by betraying myself is not included."

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at the gentle but uncompromising man in front of her, she realized how different he was from others, including herself.He is not an heir who waits for someone to take power. He has taken over everything in the family since he was young, and has proved his ability and choice since then.Such a man will not be easily swayed, but he will never be indecisive.

"It is true that I want to choose you." Song Yan slowed down her tone, her voice fluctuated a little, showing some feminine weakness, "Among the options my father gave me, I chose you right away, because You are different from us, you are in charge."

Zhou Ningan shrugged, "Then why are you confident that you can convince me?"

"You always want to get married, right? At least, you need a child." Song Yan narrowed her eyes and regained her original shrewdness in an instant, "I need a father who can protect me and my child."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Song Yan handed over her hole cards, "I have two older brothers. Although they are useless, they are still my elder brothers. Without a qualified husband and children, my father must fully trust me, and I will not give up. I don't know how long I'll have to wait. If I wait any longer, I won't be able to clean up the troubles caused by those two trash."

While he was in a trance, Song Yan held his hand and looked at him pleadingly, her tone was very sincere, "You don't need to be a good husband, just being a father is enough."

Zhou Ning'an trembled subconsciously when she held her hand, but held back and did not shake it off.He knew that what Song Yan said was the truth, even if he didn't get married, he must have an heir, which was a task he had shouldered since he was born.

After completing this task?There's nothing he can't do, right?

After a while, Zhou Ning'an nodded, "Okay, I agree."

Song Yan showed a relieved smile, and said with a smile: "That's really great."

Zhou Ning'an looked at her smiling, but he couldn't laugh at all. He didn't even feel the relaxation after the negotiation. He just felt his heart sank into his stomach like a stone, cold and hard, making it uncomfortable.

"Do you have any expectations for your married life?" Zhou Ning'an raised an eyebrow and looked at her seriously, "After all...we are about to form a family."

"Requirement?" Song Yan also raised her eyebrows, and said a little meaninglessly, "I will write the specifics in the prenuptial contract, but in general, as long as you don't have children with others, don't let your love life affect us cooperation, that’s enough. Of course, the superficial skills have to be passable, just don’t let the reporters dig it out.”

"My parents are like this. They live their own lives. When they should appear together, they will appear together. Isn't it a lifetime? My two brothers and I have also grown up well. Isn't this what family means to us? ?” Song Yan asked casually when she saw that his expression was not good.

"Yeah, it's a lifetime no matter what." Zhou Ning'an lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee.

Seeing this, Song Yan asked, "So, what do you ask of me?"

Zhou Ning'an didn't hesitate, as if he had thought about this matter for a long time, "I only have one, please be a good mother. Even if you pretend, you have to pretend that you love her very much."

Song Yan frowned slightly, and said in confusion, "My own child, how could I not love it?"

"Of course it's best if this is the case. I wish us a happy cooperation." Zhou Ning'an stood up and shook hands with her. Song Yan held his hand, thinking that he would soon be the father of her child, and she couldn't help being dazed for a moment.

Will your own child be loved, even if you don't love his father?Zhou Ning'an really wanted to ask her, but he didn't ask her.He believed that Song Yan would be a good mother, and his children would be luckier than him.

The other end is in a hurry to plan the cooperation between the two families, while Lin Ye finally has a leisurely time on the other end. No one follows him around every day. This is not a big place, and he is used to being alone. , but now it seems a bit empty.Lin Ye resisted not calling Zhou Ning'an. He didn't take the initiative to contact Zhou Ning'an. If it really ended like this, it would be a good get-together anyway, and he didn't want to get anything extra from Zhou Ning'an.

However, this doesn't explain why he always feels that something is missing now.

He opened the window to feed the kitten, and it suddenly occurred to Zhou Ning'an that he seemed to have asked why he liked the kitten why he didn't take it home and raise it.If the kitten suddenly stops eating here one day, he might feel that something is missing, right?

Fortunately, he is not short of money now. If Zhou Ning'an doesn't come, he resumes his life of cooking in the morning and sending him to the hospital to visit his grandfather, going home to read in the afternoon, and working part-time at night.

Apart from paying the hospitalization fee and the money reserved for the surgery in the future, he hasn't moved the card that Zhou Ning'an gave him. It's not always like that. Lin Ye finally has the opportunity to do what he wants to do.

He was a little surprised, Zhou Ning'an always surprised him, at first he thought Zhou Ning'an was just having fun, but he wasn't.Later he thought that Zhou Ning'an was serious, but it turned out not to be.

He felt as if he was being played by someone, but it didn't seem to be the case.It can only be said that this...no matter what kind of relationship it is, it was twisted from the very beginning.

"Lin Ye, what's the matter, I see you have been thinking about something since you sat here, tell grandpa?" The old man who was leaning on the hospital bed and pretending to watch TV with Lin Ye couldn't bear it anymore. It's not that when something big happens, it won't show up easily.

"It's nothing," Lin Ye said sullenly, "I seem to have been dumped."

"Hey, what a big deal. My grandson is so rare, he doesn't like you because he has bad eyesight."

"I also said that these days, there are not many people who can coax people and cook like me. The most important thing is that there are not many people who are so handsome, dedicated and careless. They cherish animals and should be protected! "Lin Ye talked about the mountains here without blushing, and all the grandparents in the ward laughed.

"You brat." Seeing that he could still talk like this, his grandfather relaxed a little, and comforted him: "You are old, when will you be able to settle down? I am old, lying in the ward, what? When I can see you bringing a granddaughter-in-law over to see me, I won't be afraid even if I close my eyes."

"Oh, grandpa, if you want to say that, then I have to wait another twenty years before I dare to bring my granddaughter-in-law over to see you." Lin Ye immediately stared, and said seriously: "Don't keep thinking wildly every day, didn't you just say , waiting for you to show me the baby."

After Lin Ye said this, his heart twitched. He had long realized that he might not have a child of his own in this life, but when the old man asked, this trick was always the best.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the old man felt at ease again, and chatted with him one after another while watching TV.

Before leaving, the old man called him again, "Lin Ye, don't blame me for being wordy, I'll ask you something."

"Ok?"

"Tell the truth to grandpa, it's really not a matter of money? If you struggle, I won't be able to stop, go home. Anyway, I'm at this age, and the difference between cure and death is not big."

Lin Ye had nothing to worry about, but when he said this, he suddenly thought of Zhou Ning'an again, and felt a little uncomfortable, "Don't worry, it's really not about this, don't just think about cooperating with the treatment just to help me. "

"That's fine, just let me ask for nothing," the old man pulled Lin Ye back, took out a red envelope from the drawer and stuffed it into his hand, "Your birthday is coming, don't waste it here with me all the time, the red envelope is for you, you Take that little nurse out to have a meal, watch a movie or something, anyway, you are single, I think she must be interested in you."

Now Lin Ye was even more at a loss, so he had no choice but to accept the red envelope, and after a few words, he didn't say whether he would agree or not.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Ye took out his mobile phone and called a few buddies: "It's been a long time since we got together. It's my birthday next week. Come out for a drink?"
