Five years later, Qin Huan returned to North City again on a rainy spring day.
The silky drizzle kept falling, accompanied by rumbling thunder, which made it difficult for her to sleep all night and she had nightmares all the time.
Dreams are full of variety.
The man's hot body entangled her fiercely, whispering her name over and over in her ear.
"Huan'er, Huan'er..."
Qin Huan was so moved that she became as soft as a pool of spring water in her dream.
Just as she was about to climb up the man's neck to meet him, she was pushed away by a strong force.
For some reason, the man in front of her suddenly changed his eyes and retreated with a cold chill all over his body. Qin Huan's heart suddenly emptied. She instinctively chased him, but was hit hard on the forehead by a cold blunt object.
In an instant, the world turned blood red, and drops of blood flowed down his head and face.
Qin Huan suddenly opened her eyes, a layer of cold sweat had already broken out on her back. She raised her hand to turn on the light, and then she realized that the window was not closed tightly when she went to bed last night, and raindrops were blown in by the wind and hit her face.
I haven't had a dream about the past in a long time.
Qin Huan rubbed her cheeks, got out of bed and closed the window. When she returned to bed, she was no longer sleepy.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but take the financial newspaper from the bedside table.
The front page is a line of bold and large fonts.
"The prince of Jiang Group and the daughter of Ji family are about to get married."
The picture below takes up almost a quarter of the layout.
In the photo, the man has a handsome figure, wearing a well-tailored suit, and exudes a noble and cool demeanor.
The woman who was half leaning against him and looking at him with a smile had an elegant and graceful temperament and a pair of sparkling almond-shaped eyes.
When the two of them stand together, anyone who sees them can't help but praise them for being a talented couple.
After reading it, Qin Huan put the newspaper back with an expressionless face. She looked at the time and saw that it was already late. Remembering that she had to meet a client tomorrow, she forced herself to close her eyes for a while.
This was Qin Huan's first client after returning to China, so she got up early for this purpose.
I caught the subway during the first morning rush hour and arrived at Hengfeng Jiayuan at nine o'clock.
Located in the city center, this is the highest-end luxury apartment in the North City. People who can live here are basically rich or noble. It is said that all the rooms were reserved before they were even put on the market.
The client Qin Huan was going to meet had lived abroad for a long time and came back not long ago. He wanted to change the design of the entire house.
The two had already communicated roughly through WeChat before.
Today we officially arrived at the site to measure data.
Qin Huan stood at the gate, waiting for the customer to come and pick her up.
After a while, she saw a tall young man walking towards her.
Qin Huan took the lead and went forward with a perfect smile on her lips.
"Mr. Zou, right?"
Zou Shikai paused and looked at the woman in front of him.
A well-fitting light professional suit wrapped around her slender figure, with her brown, slightly curly hair draped quietly over her shoulders. Her facial features were delicate, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, especially her almond-shaped eyes, which were dark and lively, like a deep pool, making people unable to help but explore.
With an undisguised look of amazement in his eyes, Zou Shikai raised his hand and extended it towards Qin Huan.
"I didn't expect that Miss Qin, who won the Asia Pacific Interior Designer Gold Award last year, would be such a young beauty."
Qin Huan didn't say much after hearing this. She smiled politely and followed Zou Shikai to the residential area.
The house was a small duplex, and the measurement took quite a while. Fortunately, Zou Shikai did not show any impatience. Instead, he accompanied Qin Huan throughout the measurement process and shared his ideas with her.
The whole process went smoothly, but when Qin Huan was about to leave, she accidentally stepped on a pendant that had fallen at the entrance and sprained her foot.
Qin Huan endured the excruciating pain and limped to the elevator. Looking at the elevator display screen with constantly changing numbers, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
I had an appointment with another client tomorrow. It would look awkward if I went there limping.
Zou Shikai felt a little guilty.
"How about I take you to the hospital? After all, you sprained it in my house, and I have the obligation to be responsible for you."
Qin Huan shook her head and was about to refuse when the elevator made a "ding" sound and the doors slowly slid open to both sides. Two men appeared in her sight.
The one in the front was wearing a formal suit, a gray shirt, and a tie. His hair was cut neatly and stylishly. His narrow eyes were lazy and looked aloof, giving people a sense of indifference.
Buddha said that all partings are for a better meeting next time.
Qin Huan had been prepared when she decided to return home, but she didn't expect to be caught off guard so suddenly.
It’s Jiang Jingchu.
The moment our eyes met, the past flashed through my mind like a movie.
She couldn't move her feet at all, and as the elevator was about to close again, Zou Shikai beside her was quick to support Qin Huan, easily bearing her weight and bringing her into the elevator.
Qin Huan only felt that her whole body was enveloped by an oppressive figure, and her nostrils were filled with the familiar scent of cold pine.
Gao Fei was reporting his itinerary to Jiang Jingchu when he was interrupted by two people who suddenly came in and then resumed the conversation.
"Mr. Wu from Huida wants to have lunch with you at noon. At 3 pm, Parkson's signing ceremony requires your personal attendance..."
Gao Fei was halfway through his speech when he felt that the boss was a little absent-minded. He raised his eyes to glance at the elevator mirror and found that the boss's eyes were actually fixed on the woman who had just entered.
"Don't leave too soon after you get downstairs. I'll drive over to pick you up."
Qin Huan was daydreaming when she suddenly heard Zou Shikai's voice beside her. She looked up reflexively and her eyes met Jiang Jingchu's contemptuous eyes in the mirror.
Following his gaze, Qin Huan was suddenly surprised to find that Zou Shikai's hand was still around her arm. The two of them were so intimate that anyone who didn't know would think they were a couple.
Her face flushed involuntarily, and she reflexively took two steps to the side. In a panic, she whispered "Okay".
At this time, the elevator just arrived at the first floor, and several people got out of the elevator at the same time. Qin Huan's foot hurt, so she lagged behind a little. She faintly heard Jiang Jingchu, who had just passed by her, say,
"I postponed my lunch date because I suddenly felt nauseous and had no appetite."
Nausea, loss of appetite...
Qin Huan felt as if her heart was being plucked by someone, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
So this was Jiang Jingchu's first feeling towards her after they met again after five years of separation.
Qin Huan didn't want to go to the hospital at all, so she asked the client to take her to the vicinity of the company and then got out of the car.
After buying some sprain spray at a nearby drugstore, she returned to the company, hoping to hurry up and create a graphic design plan for the client she had just met.
When Song Yali saw her limping in, she couldn't help but sneered and said in a sarcastic tone,
"Hey, you've only been working for a few days and you've already got a work-related injury?"
Qin Huan glanced at her calmly.
"Not really, I just twisted it accidentally."
"You don't twist your body in the morning or in the evening, but you twist your body when you meet a male client. Team Leader Qin, your motives are clearly not pure."
Qin Huan understood as soon as she heard this. In order to avoid suspicion, she had asked Zou Shikai to place her somewhere far away from the company, but she didn't expect that she would still be seen by someone with ulterior motives.
She also knew why Song Yali was unhappy with her. It was simply because she came in out of nowhere and "grabbed" the team leader position that she had always been confident of winning.
These are the things that happen in the workplace. She doesn't bother to take them to heart and leaves a sentence.
"Think what you like."
So I went back to my office.
Song Yali behind him stamped her feet in anger, snorted with contempt, and said to her colleagues at several nearby workstations,
"See? People with backgrounds are always confident when they speak!"
