"Don't reject me." Leng Linli interrupted Yan Zhi's next words, he could roughly guess what Yan Zhi wanted to say.
“I don’t feel embarrassed, I’m willing to do it.”
Looking back on last night, Leng Linli only regretted that he had realized it too late.
last night......
"Honey, you're so handsome." The drunk Yan Zhi hugged Leng Linli and praised him sincerely.
Originally, Leng Linli was very angry, and Yan Zhi treated him like a male model, but her soft "husband" instantly broke his defenses.
For the first time in a long time, Leng Linli suddenly felt a pang of sadness. How long had it been since Yan Zhi had called him so gently and softly, not in a deliberately acted way?
What stupid things did he do to make things turn out like this?
upset!
regret!
Many emotions I'd never felt before surged up.
"You married me because I'm pretty?" Even though he knew Yan Zhi was already drunk and confused, Leng Linli still asked a leading question.
Yan Zhi shook her head, looking slightly adorable: "Not entirely..."
"What else?" Leng Linli suddenly became expectant. In the few seconds he waited for Yan Zhi's answer, his expectations had roughly taken shape in his mind.
A faint hope... She said she loved him.
It's not because he's CEO Leng, and there's no scheming or calculation involved; I simply love him as a person.
"And..." Before she could finish speaking, Yan Zhi fell asleep again.
Looking at Yan Zhi's sleeping face, a corner of Leng Linli's heart softened, and a gentle smile spread across his lips. If only things could stay like this forever.
But after only a moment, Yan Zhi's murmured words came through, her voice trembling with sobs. Upon closer inspection, her fair and smooth cheeks were covered with tear stains.
"Feifei, I miss you so much..."
Yan Zhi cried harder and harder, her face contorted with pain, as if she had lost something. Her usual carefree attitude was gone, replaced by pure grief.
Was it her beloved Feifei that caused her the deepest pain?
They're calling each other so intimately!
Leng Linli should have been furious, but looking at Yan Zhi's appearance, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He felt sorry for her.
Even though she was crying for someone else, even though she was heartbroken for someone else, at this moment, Leng Linli's heart ached for her.
He reached out and pulled Yan Zhi into his arms, gently patting her back as if coaxing a child, his movements careful and tender, full of care.
Yan Zhi's tearful appearance tugged at his heartstrings.
Anyway...
He never wanted to see her crying again.
Leng Linli murmured, even though Yan Zhi might not be able to hear him, he still said, "Yan Zhi, in the past, Fei Fei was with you. In the future, I will walk with you, okay?"
***
Yan Zhi overslept again.
Even though Yan Zhi had set several alarms after oversleeping last time, she still didn't hear them ring this morning.
There are still ten days or so left. If she can just hang in there, it will be over soon, and then she can finally sleep peacefully.
Today was the day to sign the contract with Huasheng. Yan Zhi rushed to the company as if nothing had happened, shamelessly sitting at her workstation to organize Huasheng's case despite being late.
Before she could even settle into her chair, Yan Zhi's phone rang, and a familiar, cold voice came through: "Bring in a drink."
Very serious, with a businesslike feel, and then hung up the phone.
Yan Zhi was a little worried because they didn't say what she wanted to drink.
After hesitating for a while, Yan Zhi hung up the phone, made a cup of tea, and headed to the president's office.
"Knock..." Knock...
The moment there was a knock on the door, a cold, sharp voice came from the CEO's office: "Come in."
Yan Zhi lowered her hand from knocking and pushed the door open to enter.
"President Leng."
Yan Zhi looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa, and gently placed the tea next to him.
Seeing that the other party did not move, Yan Zhi turned around to leave, but was stopped when she took a step.
"Wait a moment." The cold, sharp tone carried a hint of command.
Yan Zhi stopped and turned to look at him.
Leng Linli opened his eyes, his gaze falling on her face. His voice was calm, but his tone left no room for argument: "Eat the noodles on the table."
Yan Zhi then noticed a basket of steamed buns and a steaming bowl of noodles on the table, their aroma filling the air.
"President Leng, this is during working hours, and it's against the rules," Yan Zhi politely declined.
Although Yan Zhi was really hungry at this moment, she had gotten up late and left in a hurry, so she didn't have time to eat breakfast.
Leng Linli could guess what Yan Zhi was worried about. He stared at her, his eyes flashing slightly: "We've done things that are even more irregular than this in here. Having breakfast is nothing."
What's even more against the rules?
Yan Zhi understood Leng Linli's implication.
She looked up, ready to retort, but met Leng Linli's dark and deep eyes.
The cold, sharp smile on his lips deepened slightly. He sat up straight, opened the container of steamed buns and noodles, and looked at Yan Zhi with a smile in his eyes: "Or... do you want me to feed you? Hmm?"
His meaning was clear: if you don't eat, don't even think about leaving this door.
Since that was the case, Yan Zhi didn't hesitate. She walked straight to the sofa, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and ate her noodles with her head down.
The noodles actually tasted pretty good. Yan Zhi picked up a small steamed bun, took a bite, and the soup inside overflowed, almost dripping onto her clothes.
