Say it's only once

There were traces of cracks in the usual gentle and refined demeanor, Shen Cheng quickly adjusted himself, his eyes stopped wandering, and he looked at Chi Jin steadily, his tone was naturally professional.

"Yes, I talked about some projects with Mr. Chi at that time, and I was very impressed."

Yu Mengsheng smiled slightly and nodded towards Chi Jin.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, it happened that Shen Cheng and Yu Mengsheng had settled the bill, so he pulled Yu Mengsheng to bid farewell to them.

Seeing the two people's backs gradually receding, and the slightly embarrassed expression on Shen Cheng's face just now, Chi Jin finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

Ji Ran was next to him, putting the food in the trolley on the checkout counter.

Chi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen Cheng would probably not take the initiative to say anything to President Shen.

Mr. Shen.

Chi Jin froze suddenly.

"Hello, a total of 460 nine point three, credit card or WeChat Alipay?"

"WeChat."

Ji Ran took out his mobile phone and clicked on WeChat to check out.

He raised his hand to pass the QR code, and his elbow was suddenly grabbed.

Raising her eyes, Chi Jin's eyes sparkled, and she asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

She smiled sweetly, full of joy that she was about to go back to arrange a birthday banquet, her amber eyes were clear and full of smiles.

While saying "what's the matter", he opened the reusable bag and put the ingredients in it one by one.

The supermarket is full of people, there are supermarket staff next to it, and there is a long queue behind it.

Not an occasion for talking.

Chi Jin let go of his hand, and the corners of his mouth were a little stiff: "It's nothing, let's go home."

The two passed through the crowd and took the elevator to the parking lot. Ji Ran's middle heels and Chi Jin's high heels made a dull "da da da" sound on the concrete floor.

On the way, Ji Ran was carrying things, planning tomorrow's dishes, and how to arrange things to celebrate her birthday when she returned home at night.

In the past, she always spent her birthday with Fa Xiao, and she hardly worried about it, just be the birthday star with peace of mind.

This is the first time for Ji Ran to celebrate her own birthday, and with Chi Jin, she feels extremely satisfied when she thinks of this. The ridiculous night with Chi Jin last summer, who would have thought of this moment?

She happily put the things in the back seat, and then sat in the co-pilot.

Almost at the same moment when the car door closed, I heard Chi Jin's calm voice: "Ji Ran, what's the relationship between you and Mr. Shen?"

The car fell into a sudden silence, no one else stopped and drove nearby, it was eerily quiet.

Incandescent lights illuminate the car

Said, only a faint light came in the car, it was very dark, Ji Ran didn't speak, and slowly let go of the hand holding the seat belt, and the seat belt retracted with a "snap" sound.

She finally understood why Chi Jin was so quiet all the way from the supermarket to the parking lot.

But she was immersed in the joy of celebrating her birthday for the first time, and she didn't realize it. A word came out of nowhere in her mind: extreme joy begets sorrow.

"I remember that Mr. Shen is Mr. Shen's nephew. You called him cousin just now."

It was the scene that Ji Ran was most worried about.

He didn't confess to Chi Jin for a long time, and wanted to find a suitable time, but was caught off guard, so he was punctured by "cousin".

I was so overwhelmed that I didn't even react.

Chi Jin's voice is very calm, Ji Ran would rather she could accuse her with emotions at this moment.

The calmer you are, the more restless you are.

"You think about how to say it first, I think, I need an explanation."

The engine roared, and Chi Jin drove away from the parking lot.

Speechless all the way.

The car drove into Ji Ran's place, got off the car, took the elevator, went upstairs, and when he stepped out of the elevator door, Ji Ran finally stretched out his hand and held Chi Jin's wrist.

Her eyes were a little sore, Chi Jin was angry, but he came back with her.

On the way, she was still wondering if Chi Jin would send her home and turn around.

"We'll talk about it when we go home." Chi Jin whispered.

There was an echo in the hallway of the residential building, Ji Ran nodded: "Okay."

Open the door silently, go in, and close the door again.

With a "click", Ji Ran followed up and said, "Shen Ruijun and I are mother and daughter."

Chi Jin nodded.

Along the way, I have already guessed in my heart, which is not surprising.

"Why hide me until now? At the beginning, I can understand."

Chi Jin stared at her, and said slowly: "But we are together, until now, until I decide to leave, why haven't you told me?"

She is trying her best to control, but Ji Ran can still hear her anger and grievance.

Ji Ran seemed relieved, her restlessness proved that she was not extremely disappointed.

But the tone of his mouth was still urgent: "It's not what you think, Shen Ruijun and I are not the kind of mother and daughter you think. I have been separated from her for many years, and I haven't seen her for many years."

Chi Jin remembered the phone in the bathroom.

I only know that Ji Ran has a bad relationship with his mother, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

Before she could ask, Ji Ran looked into her eyes and said, "Shen Ruijun's body

Something went wrong, the effect of the operation was not good, and I had to recuperate, and I couldn't manage the company like before, so I found me and asked me to come to work.I didn't tell anyone, including you, that my relationship with her was because I hated her very much, and when I hated her the most, I wished I could exchange blood without such a mother, so..."

At the end, her voice choked up, she lowered her head, tears fell, and a piece of paper was stuffed into her hand.

Ji Ran held the tissue and pressed it on his face, sobbing in suppressed cries.

"...So how could I take the initiative to tell people that I am her daughter? I wish, I wish I wasn't. "

Chi Jin thought that Ji Ran was playful and thought it was fun to conceal the identity of the CEO's daughter.

Unexpectedly, she was crying.

"You hate her that much?"

Ji Ran sniffed and nodded heavily.

Chi Jin felt a little uncomfortable, not only crying for Ji Ran at this moment, but also for himself.

"Ji Ran, I'm with you, everything is open, my family, my ex-boyfriend, and the future arrangements for us." Her voice was very soft.

"But you treat me like that."

After finishing speaking, Chi Jin turned around, went to the bedroom, and gently closed the door.

In October, at night, there will be a little cool wind blowing in from the balcony, and the tears on the face will be a little cold and tense.

Ji Ran leaned against the bedroom door and sat on the ground.

Inside and outside the room, it was very quiet. It seemed that there was only the faint sound of traffic and wind in the distance.

They went to the supermarket for dinner and wanted to eat while shopping.

It was quite late when I got home, Ji Ran sat outside the bedroom door, and it was midnight before he knew it.

She got up and grabbed the doorknob and opened it gently.

The light in the bedroom was dim, Chi Jin sat on the head of the bed, the light shone on the side of his face, gentle and demure.

Hearing the voice, he raised his head, took a look, and then looked away.

Holding a glass of water in his hand, Ji Ran walked over.

"Sister, I'll tell you about Shen Ruijun and Shen Ruijun in a few days, okay? I just... don't want our first birthday together to become heavy. Can I tell you a few days later?"

At this time, the voice was still a little choked up, and cautiously fawning.

"Now, it's my birthday... Let's not quarrel, can we?"

"Then," Chi Jin said, his voice a little hoarse: "Do you have anything else to hide from me?"

"No." Ji Ran said decisively.

Chi Jin was silent for a while, stretched out his hand, Ji Ran took the water glass

Pass it to her.

After drinking some water, Chi Jin handed the water glass to Ji Ran again: "Drink some too."

Ji Ran drank it obediently, and finished it in one gulp.

Then holding the water glass, carefully sit on the edge of the bed, next to Chi Jin, and go to hold her hand, gently.

"Can you wish me a happy birthday?" Her voice was small and a little weak.

Chi Jin pursed his lips, and slowly raised his eyes. In the soft light and shadow, Ji Ran's eyes were bright, like a bonfire lit in the dark night, and like jade immersed in the deep sea, glowing with water.

half an hour.

"Happy birthday."

Ji Ran shed tears and gently hugged Chi Jin.

"For your words, I want to be happy too."
