Chapter 153: A Narrow Victory
Ruan Yuntang felt as if a bolt from the blue had hit her on the forehead.
I regret so much that I teased Chen Xiangxiang a few days ago.
What made her scalp tingle even more was that a familiar gentle voice suddenly came from the distance.
"Tangtang."
Ruan Yuntang suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a cold cellar.
Chen Xiangxiang glanced at the man in the distance who was leaning on a cane. Although he walked unsteadily, he still exuded a cold and majestic aura.
Facing the other person's gloomy face, her heart trembled, and she quickly waved goodbye to Ruan Yuntang.
"I have something to do at home, so I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow!"
Ruan Yuntang didn't have time to pull the person away, and he couldn't see Chen Xiangxiang's back clearly.
The person stopped beside her, and an invisible sense of oppression surged from all directions, and the chill ran up along the soles of her feet.
Ruan Yuntang tightened his grip, suggesting to himself, "They're not really married, why do they look so guilty as if they were caught cheating?"
So she straightened her back and raised her head, just in time to meet the man's obscure, dim, and aggrieved eyes.
She wilted as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Why...are you here?"
As she spoke, her tone couldn't help but be mixed with worry, "Your legs aren't even healed yet, how can you move around?"
"I saw that you haven't been home for a long time, so I was a little worried and came to see you." When Jiang Yubai said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the man not far away inadvertently. His eyes suddenly stopped and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Ruan Yuntang did not notice his gaze. At this moment, her heart was overwhelmed by deep guilt and embarrassment.
"Goodbye next time. I just stayed a little longer to make perfume with my colleagues." Ruan Yuntang explained and helped him to leave.
Seeing that she seemed to have forgotten the person far away, Jiang Yubai's depressed mood suddenly dissipated, and he reminded her:
"Your colleague seems to have something to say to you and keeps looking at you."
Ruan Yuntang's body stiffened slightly. He looked up and saw that He Zhili had not left yet.
She was still holding the huge bouquet of flowers in her arms, and her face, as white as a mountain snow lotus, showed a hint of confusion.
After a moment, he walked towards them holding flowers.
"Are you Comrade Ruan's husband?" He Zhili raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Jiang Yubai.
The two people's gazes collided invisibly in the air, creating sparks.
Jiang Yubai raised the corner of his lips, put his arm around Ruan Yuntang's waist, and asked in her ear in an intimate manner:
"Which colleague of yours is this?"
Ruan Yuntang felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull his hand away, but his words attracted his thoughts and he opened his mouth and said:
"This is He Zhili, a member of our other perfume development team."
"Oh, competitors." Jiang Yu nodded as if he understood everything, and then said, "Then there's nothing more to say. Let's go home."
“…”
Ruan Yuntang glanced at the person opposite her whose expression never changed. Her face darkened at being ignored. She quickly said:
"Don't worry about it. He's been injured recently and in a bad mood."
"It's okay." He Zhili regained his composure and handed the flowers over. "Congratulations on the successful development of your perfume."
Hearing this, Ruan Yuntang first glanced at the person beside him, and seeing that he had lowered his eyelids and his expression did not change, he said:
"No need. We are competitors. We are not at the point of congratulating each other."
"Your congratulations don't seem genuine, and I won't truly accept your kindness, so why bother with this?"
After saying that, she supported Jiang Yubai and walked out.
He Zhili stood there in a daze.
In the car.
Zhao Qiang looked in shock at the rearview mirror and saw his leader's eyebrows raised as he got into the car.
You have to know that on the way here, the temperature in the car was so cold that it could freeze people to death, and the team leader's face was even more terrifyingly gloomy.
It's only been a short while, but it's like picking up a treasure.
Only my sister-in-law can coax her!
Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the captain for a long time unconsciously. When he raised his eyes, he met a pair of black eyes. His heart trembled. Just as he was about to explain, he saw that the captain actually smiled at him...?
If it wasn't in broad daylight, Zhao Qiang would have thought he was dreaming.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Ruan Yuntang asked with concern when he saw his eyelids twitching.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Qiang saw the team leader's friendly smile disappear.
Zhao Qiang shuddered and shook his head quickly, "No, no, no! I just didn't sleep well, it's okay!"
"Is that so? Then you should have a good rest during this period of time. Don't come to pick me up again. Even if Jiang Yubai calls you, don't come."
Ruan Yuntang said this and turned to look at Jiang Yubai.
Zhao Qiang also looked at his own leader, his heart pounding.
Jiang Yubai looked at the girl's bulging cheeks and threatening eyes, raised the corners of his lips calmly, and nodded:
"Yes, you should have a good rest. Don't come even if I tell you to."
When Ruan Yuntang heard him imitating his own way of speaking, his earlobes felt hot. He glared at him again, turned his head to look at him, and left.
There was an invisible sweet and ambiguous atmosphere in the air.
Even Zhao Qiang, who was always stubborn, realized something. He stopped talking and concentrated on driving.
the next day.
Ruan Yuntang woke up early and saw breakfast on the table. He couldn't help but say:
"Didn't you tell me to find some comrades to rest? Why did you ask someone to bring breakfast?"
"He didn't bring it." Jiang Yubai added, "And it wasn't from the cafeteria either."
Ruan Yuntang sat down opposite him, looked at his strange face, and glanced at the bland vegetable noodles in front of him. Suddenly he realized something and said in surprise:
"You did it?"
"Try it and see if it tastes good." Jiang Yubai handed over the chopsticks and said gently.
Ruan Yuntang took the chopsticks with a complicated look in his eyes. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at the person opposite him, hesitant to speak.
"Then yesterday..."
Jiang Yubai's face suddenly became extremely stiff, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
Seeing this, Ruan Yuntang didn't need to ask any more questions.
Her heart beat slightly, and a warm feeling flowed through her.
"Stop doing it. Just stay here quietly since your leg is injured. Don't you want to return to the team as soon as possible?" she scolded him while eating.
Jiang Yu looked at her deeply with his white eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Then when my leg is healed, let me cook the meals at home."
???
Ruan Yuntang looked at him in confusion.
No, why is this person suddenly obsessed with cooking?
She finished the last bite of the smooth and delicious noodles and said casually, "You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, she picked up the cloth bag and went out.
After getting on the bike, she suddenly remembered that she had casually said yesterday that she envied Aunt Jiang. Could it be because of this...
Her cheeks felt hot and she shook her head.
…
When she arrived at the factory, she clearly noticed that the factory was cleaner and tidier than usual today, and even Director Shu had changed into work clothes.
Chen Xiangxiang saw her come in, with a puzzled look on her face, and said with a smile: "Tangtang, the master you are most looking forward to will be at our factory today!"
"Are you talking about Liu Chuxiang?" Ruan Yuntang's eyes flashed with surprise.
Chen Xiangxiang nodded and added, "Master Liu will also be participating in today's selection."
As she finished speaking, Director Shu's voice suddenly came from the door.
"Group One, get ready, gather in the conference room!"
Ruan Yuntang responded, took out the bottle of perfume, and went out with Chen Xiangxiang.
But when I walked into Meng Haosi's mechanical room, I couldn't find anyone.
"I guess this kid is in Su Ye's group again!" Chenxiang Xiangqi snorted.
Ruan Yuntang didn't look for him anymore. He stopped the man who rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat someone up, and walked quickly towards the meeting room.
As soon as she entered the door, her eyes widened in surprise.
