Dressed as a cannon fodder substitute for a beautiful president

Qizheng looked at the slender and exquisite gift box, it was obviously specially packaged, but the brand couldn't be recognized temporarily from the outside.But she didn't try to guess what it would be and which brand it would be. Tonight in Zhuang Muqing's small manor, she had already experienced it several times.

Shen Zhibing's eyes sparkled, and he presented the gift to Qizheng full of anticipation, hoping that she would like it, not just a polite remark.She asked Yun Fei, and took Yu Xinyan to shop around to choose, and finally decided to choose this one.

Although she doesn't know Qi Zheng well enough, but on this birthday, she hopes to win a chance for herself.This gift is not only an expression of money, but also a carrier of her heart.

However, Qi Zheng remained silent.

"You...don't like it? Or, don't you want it?"

Shen Zhibing was a little nervous, no matter what the answer was, it would be a blow to her.

Qizheng looked at the slender and white fingers clasping the edge of the gift box, which turned slightly red due to the force, but did not retreat an inch.

"No."

Hearing what Qi Zheng said, Shen Zhibing's heart that had been sinking slowly regained vitality.She couldn't help laughing, and took the initiative to open the gift box for her.

When the package is removed, the brand printed on the surface of the brocade box is obvious.Now, Qizheng knew what it was.

Shen Zhibing concentrated on unwrapping the present, for fear that Qi Zheng would reject it if it was too late.The last time Qizheng refused to take away the bracelet, I still vividly remember it.

She was more or less terrified, afraid of repeating that scene again.

The gift box was opened, and a watch with a simple but extraordinary design appeared in front of the two of them.

Shen Zhibing was obviously quite satisfied with this gift. She took the watch out of the box and said, "This is the classic model of Jaeger-LeCoultre. It's not very exaggerated, but I think it's especially suitable for you."

This is a classic version many years ago, and this year a re-engraved commemorative model is released.

Qizheng moved her lips and kept looking at Shen Zhibing.Some words stuck in her throat, she wanted to say, but couldn't.

Shen Zhibing noticed that her reaction was a bit abnormal, but subconsciously he didn't want to face it, and seeing that Qizheng didn't directly refuse, he took her hand and put on the watch for her.

She looked at the watch and finally found a suitable owner, and said with satisfaction: "It really suits you. I thought about it when I chose it, but it's only after I put it on that I realized that the effect is better."

Qizheng followed her gaze and landed on the newly added gift on her wrist. The dial was not too big or too small, and it was a unisex model.It is not as rough and domineering as men's watches, nor is it small and soft like women's dials.

Moderate size, low-key and simple, but it is classic without prejudice.

Qizheng carefully slid her fingers across the dial, as if she wanted to feel every inch of the edge.She looked at it carefully, obviously enjoying the gift.

Seeing that she liked her, Shen Zhibing was also happy.This is completely different from the feeling when she asked Yunfei to buy a bracelet for Qizheng in the past. At that time, she only cared about whether the things were delivered, but didn't care how Qizheng felt after receiving them.

But now, she cares.

When she chose, she had thought many times whether Qizheng would like it.

However, such joy did not last long.Shen Zhibing watched helplessly how Qizheng caressed the watch, how he firmly took it off and put it back into the box.

"Mr. Shen, I can't take this gift."

Shen Zhibing was so taken aback that he didn't even have time to take care of his usual calm demeanor.

She asked eagerly, wanting to know the reason, but she was also afraid that the answer would be a decision that left her no room for change.

"This gift is too expensive. Even according to my previous position in the company, I have to keep this watch carefully for more than two years." Qizheng looked at her with indescribable annoyance and powerlessness, "This is a big deal for me. Said, it's too extravagant, I can't bear it."

It's not that she can't make the money, but she's not going to spend all the money she's saved over two years on a watch.She knew that Shen Zhibing didn't use money to show off, it was just Shen's normal consumption level.

Or maybe, people from a wealthy family like them don't need to care about the price since they were young, they just need to know whether they like it or not.

Zhuang Muqing was like this, and so was Shen Zhibing.

Qizheng felt the gap for the first time in the small manor tonight. Those gaps that she didn't care much about before tonight tortured her like needles.

She felt that this was very bad. The gap between people was already huge, so why should she care about it.But she found that she couldn't do it, because her heart was opened again.

In the past, because I couldn't provide stable and solid material protection for my lover, I let that once splendid relationship dissipate in reality.She knew that she couldn't blame anyone, but the reality was like this, and she didn't want to and dare not repeat the same mistakes.

Shen Zhibing didn't need her to support him, he could even support her instead, including her whole family.But this is not what Qizheng wants, she doesn't want to have the same wealth as Boss Shen, but she hopes that she can at least have the ability to protect her.

Just like last time, when encountering so many pressures and difficulties, Shen Zhibing could rely on her instead of pushing her away immediately and excluding her from the consideration of fighting together.

Qizheng thought, she's getting a little greedy.Not only did she want Shen Zhibing's people and heart, she also wanted her life.

It turned out that she still cared, cared about the hurt and lessons brought about by that failed relationship in the past.Qizheng thought that if she no longer loved anyone, she would not be hurt again.But now, she has someone who wants to go on together again, but she finds painfully that she still doesn't have the ability to protect him from the wind and rain.

The reality is cruel, and it is useless to be gentle and considerate.The gentleness that cannot withstand the wind and rain is the most unreal dependence.

Qizheng didn't say harsh words, nor did she speak sarcastically, but Shen Zhibing felt very hurt by her refusal, and also very... disturbed.

"If you think this watch is too expensive, then I...I'll change it now." Shen Zhibing turned around, as if he really wanted to buy a new one right now.

Qizheng grabbed her tightly, and her fingertips clasped Shen Zhibing's wrist, exchanging their warmth.

I don't know if it was a hallucination, but Qizheng could feel the extremely fast beating pulse, and she was very reluctant to let go.

"It's very late now, and the mall has closed long ago. I appreciate your kindness, so the gift is still free."

Shen Zhibing lost some strength, and with a depressed tone that she didn't know, she glanced at the gift that Qizheng placed on the corner of the desk: "Is it because I have received too many other gifts tonight?"

So, it doesn't matter to me anymore.

Qizheng sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "It is already a very precious gift for me that you can come in person."

Shen Zhibing suddenly turned around and looked at Qizheng.She hesitated to speak and struggled several times.In fact, besides giving gifts, she has other things to say.But she has been looking for opportunities, and thought that after Qizheng accepted the gift, she would be able to continue speaking logically.

Who knows, Qizheng even refused the watch, so he probably wouldn't accept what she had to say.

She just, hoped there would be a chance to mend the relationship and let them try to start over.

Seeing her entangled, reluctant but forbearing look, Qizheng roughly guessed what she was thinking.

She gently pushed the watch into Shen Zhibing's hand: "Mr. Shen, I've worn the watch before. It's beautiful and I like it very much."

Shen Zhibing still stood there in a daze, looking at her blankly, forgetting to give her any response.

Qizheng felt uncomfortable, so he could only bear it, and tried his best to keep calm.

"let it go."

She was tired, and the high-intensity homework these days made her physically exhausted to the limit.The various gaps she experienced tonight reminded her of the powerlessness she felt a long time ago, and she also thought of the details of attending various occasions with Mr. Shen.

In fact, Shen Zhibing took good care of her and never let her make a fool of herself on such occasions.If you think about it, you also know that she lacks experience in dealing with these things.

If one day, she and Mr. Shen can stand side by side calmly without worrying about whether the other party can adapt to the surrounding environment, that is the ability to truly trust each other.

Qizheng felt that she was starting to be pretentious and caressing, and those little details before were all turned up, and became the source of her concern at the moment.

Shen Zhibing really felt Qizheng's experience that night, from being full of expectations to falling into the ice cellar, it probably took only a few words.Qizheng didn't say such harsh and hurtful words as hers, but they were enough to make her heart ache unbearably.

"I'm sorry, I made you so sad that day." Shen Zhibing lowered her eyes, and she finally understood how much courage Qizheng used to support her to leave her room that day.

Qizheng really wanted to hug her, but she was afraid of letting go.

Shen Zhibing tightly clenched the hand hanging by her side, her nails almost pierce the skin of her palm, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

Shen Zhibing didn't even dare to look at Qi Zheng, she didn't think about how to face her.On the way here, she thought about being rejected, but she didn't expect to get the answer without even having a chance to speak.

According to her character, at this time, she should say goodbye calmly and leave resolutely.But Shen Zhibing didn't want to leave.

She even wanted to stay here, wait a little longer, wait for Qizheng to change her mind after a while.

Seeing her aura completely weakened, like a flower too weak to survive independently, Qi Zheng felt very uncomfortable.

"Boss Shen, you shouldn't be like this."

Her pity and distressed tone made Shen Zhibing see a glimmer of hope, she followed her heart and wanted to tell Qizheng those words.

"Qizheng, can we..."

Qizheng covered her lips lightly with her fingers, blocking her words behind her.

"Not now, so please don't say it."

Shen Zhibing's eyes completely dimmed, and he lost all strength.She tried to stand still, but gradually felt powerless.

"So, I have no chance, right?"

Shen Zhibing's voice was very low and soft, probably because he didn't expect and didn't want to hear an answer from Qi Zheng.After all, it was a bit cruel to her.

"I like Mr. Shen, the one who insists on working even when he is sick, the one who is strict and not sympathetic, the one who doesn't like hangover soup and refuses to say it out loud but still complains about being uncomfortable, the one who insists on what he thinks all the time Shen Zhibing."

It was the first time Qizheng said this in front of her, frankly and truthfully, she was indeed attracted by such a Shen Zhibing.

Shen Zhibing never knew that in Qizheng's eyes, he looked like this, and he sounded pretty good.

She tried her best to raise a smile, hoping to respond to Qi Zheng's compliments to her.

"Don't become humble for me."

She felt Shen Zhibing's sincerity tonight, so she was no longer angry or complained.It's just that she is more sober, and they don't have the ability or conditions to really be together.
