straight straight bent
Chapter 52
In the evening, after You Xiaofan finished talking on the phone with his mother, he received a message from Zhuang Xu, asking her to have dinner tomorrow night.
She glanced at Jiang Keyi, who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, and seeing her indifferent expression, she couldn't guess what this woman was thinking.
Her head couldn't figure it out, and her heart felt blocked, and the feeling of grievance rose from her chest from time to time, and she couldn't spit it out or digest it, so she didn't know what to do.
Even though Jiang Keyi's face was cold and hard today, like an iron plate, You Xiaofan couldn't be like her, so he could always be ruthless and ignore him.
Maybe it's because she loves more deeply, and even cares about how many kisses and hugs she has missed in a day. No matter how unpleasant things happen, as long as it gets dark, she just wants to reconcile with the other party.
Jiang Keyi sat on the other side of the bed, had been reading all night, and ignored her, as if there was a boundary between them by the Chu River, and the two countries did not interfere with each other.
You Xiaofan had no choice but to crawl up to her side cheekily, resting his chin on her shoulder, looking at her with round eyes and talking.
"Zhuang Xu asked me to have dinner with him tomorrow night, and I'll be right back after dinner with him, okay?"
"Can I say bad?"
Jiang Keyi's cold tone was like a gust of biting cold wind, which instantly extinguished You Xiaofan's barely ignited enthusiasm. She had already approached him actively, but the other party didn't appreciate her at all, and didn't understand her feelings at all. My heart aches here.
"If I don't go, my mother will come and nag me again, and I will treat it as if I am entertaining clients, and I will come back after just eating a meal."
"You can be regarded as a entertainment client, but Zhuang Xu doesn't think so. He may think that you are also interesting to him."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Keyi sneered subconsciously, how could it be so simple for a grown man to imagine a wolf as a vegetarian despite clearly facing it.
"If I refuse him now, my mother will definitely turn over the eaves. Even if this one is driven away by me, she will soon get the next one. Instead of going on like this endlessly, it's better to tell her clearly. Thoughts, please give me some time, I will definitely tell her."
"How do you make it clear to your mother? Say you are with a woman now? Or do you say that you don't want to get married and decide to cut off the incense of You's family?"
You Xiaofan was stunned, she had never seen Jiang Keyi's expression like this in her memory, she was like an animal that had been abused, her defensive eyes were also full of indifference and loneliness, and even a little bit aggressive.
"I must have a way to convince my mother, but I really need a little time."
"Every woman who said this to me obeyed her parents' arrangements in the end, and got married in a good manner. Are you different from them?"
Jiang Keyi put the closed book back on the bedside table. She didn't show any excitement when she said such words, but under the calm surface, there was a dark and cold deep sea that no one could get close to. And fear.
"I will never listen to my family's arrangement. I don't want to marry that person, and they can't do anything about me."
"What if they force each other to die?"
You Xiaofan paused, she hadn't thought about this question.
"No, it's not their style."
Jiang Keyi wanted to refute, but she swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue. She felt that if history really wanted to repeat itself, it would be useless to say anything. She may be eloquent, but she cannot control the arrangement of fate.
You Xiaofan wanted to get closer to her, but it was as if an invisible hand kept pushing her away. She felt sore, until her nose was sore. The other party never looked at her.
"I want to sleep, turn off the lights."
Jiang Keyi pulled the quilt and lay down with his back to her. You Xiaofan immediately felt the hot liquid flowing down the corner of his eyes. At this moment, she didn't want the other party to see her appearance, so she got up to turn off the light.
There are two people lying on the same bed, but they have their own concerns, and they don't know what time they will fall asleep. They thought they could sleep later the next day, but the mobile phone woke them up in the morning.
Jiang Keyi plays a pivotal role in the company, and can be called a pillar in a building. Once this seat is vacant for too long, the whole building may tilt to one side. Her position as a leader has great responsibilities, and it is not as good as others think. Comfortable.
The progress of the imminent big project was not as smooth as expected. After talking on the phone with Mr. Xu, Jiang Keyi washed up as quickly as possible, put on light makeup, changed his work clothes, and turned on the video to hold an online meeting with everyone.
You Xiaofan made her a sandwich for breakfast, and after eating it in a hurry, she sat in front of the computer and talked on the phone non-stop until the afternoon.
Finally, you can take a break from your busy schedule, You Xiaofan saw that she hurriedly got up and ran to the balcony to take off the bath towel that "bathed" in the sun. Before she had time to take a shower in the morning, she looked like she had crawled out of the pit and couldn't wait to flush .
Before reaching the bedroom, a girl with long legs came over and blocked her way.
"Let's eat first, there is no rush to take a bath."
She only ate one slice of the sandwich prepared for her in the morning, but drank two cups of coffee. You Xiaofan ate more than her. By this time, her stomach was growling, and her body structure was the same. This woman might not be able to ruminate food.
"I haven't taken a shower until now. I feel dirty and uncomfortable."
dirty?
You Xiaofan only saw icy muscles and bones, feeling cool and sweatless.
With beautiful and delicate facial features, rosy skin, and probably starving, Jiang Keyi looks like a soft and delicious longevity peach bun. If there is no gap between the two, You Xiaofan must be Go forward and bite her.
"If you want to take a bath, you have to call me. Your hands are still inconvenient, aren't they?"
There was a tone of accusation and indulgence in the words.
Jiang Keyi raised his eyes, but saw You Xiaofan's frowning brows were slightly sad. She hadn't seen a smile on her face in the past two days, and her body was covered with a melancholy temperament. It was obvious that she was raped by someone. People are heartbroken.
"I want to take a shower..."
Jiang Keyi said nonchalantly, lowering his eyes silently, clasping his hands together, rubbing his left and right thumbs constantly, he looked like a pitiful cat who couldn't get food from its owner.
You Xiaofan found that Jiang Keyi had a child living deep in his heart, and only when he was vulnerable or let go of all defenses, the child's character would come out, like her now, making people want to hug her, and then Offer her a candy.
"Okay, take a bath if you want to take a bath. After you take a bath, you can obediently eat with me, okay?"
Jiang Keyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded shyly. After all, he still felt embarrassed to be called that by a girl so much younger than him.
After lunch, Jiang Keyi continued to be busy.
After You Xiaofan finished cleaning, he looked at the time, thinking that he would go out to dinner with Zhuang Xu later, the feeling was the same as attending a family banquet, and the gravity under his feet became heavier and heavier.
In fact, she really wanted to stay at home. Whether it was continuing the cold war with a bad woman, or supervising whether an older child was eating well, it was better than wearing a mask to show others.
"Jiang Keyi, I'm going out now."
Jiang Keyi, who had been staring at the computer all day, slowly raised his head with a tired look on his face.
You Xiaofan is wearing a black chiffon dress with floral print, the length is above the knee, this kind of skirt is neither long nor short, but it highlights those long and straight beautiful legs, and then raise your eyes to see After that face, Jiang Keyi felt that God was really eccentric.
"Is Zhuang Xu downstairs?"
"We made an appointment directly at the restaurant."
Jiang Keyi was already dazed, and after a moment's pause, he realized that You Xiaofan didn't let Zhuang Xu come over because this was her home.
"okay, I get it."
After Jiang Keyi finished speaking, he immediately turned his gaze back to the screen, and then started to get busy again.
You Xiaofan couldn't help feeling a little lost.
She was expecting a kiss or a hug before going out, but it seemed that the snowdrift between them hadn't completely melted, and in the cold air, she felt a sense of loneliness, a sense of being abandoned. Feel.
You Xiaofan walked into the restaurant, said Zhuang Xu's name, and the waiter led her to a seat.
This is an exotic western restaurant.
Like dreamy blue crystal chandeliers, ice silk gauze wavy cloud curtain ceiling decoration, and the color of the restaurant is harmonious and warm. Their seats are in the corner booths with a peaceful atmosphere. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, it is a sparkling Lakeside scenery.
In an elegant and exquisite restaurant, surrounded by romantic atmosphere and atmosphere, You Xiaofan looked absent-minded, and his mind was distracted when he was looking at the menu.
"Is the food not to your liking? If you don't like it, we can change it..."
"It's okay, the food all looks good, it's hard to choose."
Hearing what You Xiaofan said, Zhuang Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled. Today he was wearing a white shirt with a small gray-blue plaid suit and dark slim-fitting slacks on his lower body. His face was clean and fresh. His calm demeanor shows a mature masculinity.
At a certain table, several women with exquisite makeup and tasteful dress cast their gazes over from time to time.
"Then I recommend you to try the super-grade steak imported from the United States, or the Provence char-grilled cod is also good, paired with porcini mushroom truffle sauce, it tastes great."
Thinking that she was sitting here enjoying high-end food, and that woman Jiang Keyi might have missed dinner again, You Xiaofan suddenly felt a sense of guilt. She closed the menu and put it beside her.
Seeing her closing the menu, Zhuang Xu thought she had already made a decision, looked up at the waiter who had been waiting for a long time, and was about to ask him to come and order.
"Zhuang Xu, I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, I can't continue to accompany this meal."
Zhuang Xu looked at You Xiaofan, and felt that her behavior tonight was indeed a bit weird, and seeing that her face seemed to be not very good-looking, he couldn't help worrying, and expressed concern and said:
"Are you okay? How about I take you to the hospital?"
"No, maybe I'm too tired today, I just want to go home and rest."
When You Xiaofan spoke, she deliberately raised her hand to support her forehead, and covered her eyes with her slender fingers, so as not to spoil her not-so-superb acting skills with her honest eyes.
"Then I'll take you back."
"Don't bother you, after all, you are not on the way, I can do it myself."
Although You Xiaofan's acting skills are not good, and you can tell a lie from her cheeks, but if a girl insists on calling the blood stain on the white dress a red flower mark, a mature boy should not be smart enough to tell that it is actually a red flower mark. Great aunt.
A twisted melon is not sweet, and Zhuang Xu didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he thought he would just let him go tonight.
"Okay, let me know when you get home, so I can rest assured."
"Ok."
The woman who said she was not feeling well stood up suddenly, seeing how fast she was walking in three steps and two steps, she disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zhuang Xu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his brows were furrowed, lost in thought.

Extra episode~
When Zhuang Xu walked to the parking lot, he saw a woman got in the car and drove away, and dropped something like a badge with a lanyard on the ground.
Picking it up, the picture on the work card is a beautiful woman with a rank of Director of Purchasing Department. It just so happens that this company is their client.
He put away the badge and contacted the woman the next day. The two had a pleasant conversation when they met, and they felt like old friends at first sight.
Later, this woman also became Zhuang Xu's...
She glanced at Jiang Keyi, who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, and seeing her indifferent expression, she couldn't guess what this woman was thinking.
Her head couldn't figure it out, and her heart felt blocked, and the feeling of grievance rose from her chest from time to time, and she couldn't spit it out or digest it, so she didn't know what to do.

"You can be regarded as a entertainment client, but Zhuang Xu doesn't think so. He may think that you are also interesting to him."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Keyi sneered subconsciously, how could it be so simple for a grown man to imagine a wolf as a vegetarian despite clearly facing it.
"If I refuse him now, my mother will definitely turn over the eaves. Even if this one is driven away by me, she will soon get the next one. Instead of going on like this endlessly, it's better to tell her clearly. Thoughts, please give me some time, I will definitely tell her."
"How do you make it clear to your mother? Say you are with a woman now? Or do you say that you don't want to get married and decide to cut off the incense of You's family?"
