Chapter 90 Let’s talk about our business again
Lin Yan felt panicky for no reason, as if a wire was strangling her internal organs, causing dull pain.
She pinched her fingertips, stood up calmly and rationally, and said briefly: "Okay, you rest. I'm going to work first."
A few minutes after Lin Yan left, Xing Yu's phone rang.
Su Xin's clear voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Xing Yu, how is it? Did the advice I gave you work?"
"Yeah." Xing Yu: "Except for the makeup being too white, everything else is fine."
"My makeup skills are not good. I will study it and try again next time!" Su continued with confidence.
"I told you that Sister Lin Yan cares about you and is worried about you! I want to sit at the head table at your wedding!"
"Yeah, hung up."
Without saying a word, Xing Yu hung up the phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with a complicated expression, and looked out into the distance.
I couldn't help but think about it.
Will she care...
…
On the other hand, Lin Yan had no intention of working when she arrived at the company.
His eyes were on the computer, but his mind was thinking about the sick Xing Yu.
Even when she came to the company early in the morning and learned that Zhu Yinqin had been demoted and Manzun had withdrawn the lawsuit, she was not in a good mood.
She leaned back in her chair, took out her phone and opened Xing Yu's WeChat.
I wanted to ask him if he was feeling better, but then I remembered what he said this morning.
——Please stay away from me.
So I didn't want to disturb him.
After turning off her phone, Lin Yan pinched her eyebrows.
Force yourself to devote yourself to the work.
Finally, she made it to lunch break, but she didn't eat in the company cafeteria.
A man strolled into a nearby shopping mall.
But I was attracted by the advertising poster posted at the door of a well-known jewelry store on the first floor of the shopping mall.
She walked closer and stared at the jewelry on the poster for a long time.
Isn’t it the gentian necklace she wears around her neck?
Exactly the same.
A suspicion suddenly arose in my mind.
To confirm, she went in.
The clerk was very enthusiastic: "Welcome to LE Jewelry, what can I do for you?"
Lin Yan took off the necklace from her neck and said, "I bought your necklace online and wanted to come and check it out offline."
"Okay, please wait."
Soon, the clerk returned the necklace to her and said with a smile, "Madam, after inspection, the necklace you purchased is indeed an authentic product from the counter and meets the inspection standards."
"Moreover, this lisianthus diamond necklace is a limited edition new product launched by our LE for Valentine's Day this year. It has a special meaning."
"What's the meaning?"
"The lisianthus flower itself has two meanings, symbolizing eternity and hopelessness. Eternity speaks of a firm commitment, while hopelessness represents the persistence of love even when knowing it is unrequited. This is also the purpose of our company launching this necklace on Valentine's Day."
Eternal and hopeless.
These two contradictory words both expressed his inner thoughts...
She held the necklace, her nose a little sore: "Excuse me, how much does this necklace sell for in the offline counter?"
"More than 90,000."
More than 90,000...
But he lied to her and said it was a gift.
Xing Yu is such a fool.
Then, she went to the men's clothing store on the fourth floor of the mall where she had accompanied Xing Yu to buy clothes.
Although more than two months have passed, the clerk still remembers the incident clearly.
"Miss, your boyfriend is so romantic. On Valentine's Day, he bought a necklace downstairs and came to our store in advance to discuss the matter with us. He wanted to give this Valentine's Day gift to you."
"But he said he was unrequited love and you didn't like him. He was afraid you would feel pressured if he gave you something, so we played along and said it was a fake necklace given as a gift from a store event."
"Miss, he must have caught up with you now, right? Are you two together?"
Lin Yan pursed her lips but didn't answer.
He nodded to excuse himself to her and then left the mall without another word.
The April sun makes me feel warm and comfortable.
She looked up at the sunlight and suddenly felt it was dazzling, so she subconsciously blocked it with her palm.
It was indeed no longer glaring, and at the same time, no light shone on her face...
She suddenly realized, why did she have to look up?
Wouldn't it be better to just keep going straight ahead? Why look up at the distant, dazzling "light"?
Wouldn’t it be nice to close your eyes, enjoy the warmth, and try to take in the sunshine?
She sat on a chair outside the mall, watching the people coming and going and the hustle and bustle of traffic, and suddenly fell into some kind of contemplation.
After a long time, she spread out her hands and lowered her head to stroke the gentian necklace in her palm.
Thinking about the overt and covert efforts Xing Yu had made for her over the past few months, and thinking about every moment she had spent with him.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
But my eyes are stinging and wet...
From childhood to adulthood, it seemed that only her uncle loved her day after day.
This made her feel extremely vague and indifferent towards love.
After high school, Song Yanzheng appeared and pulled her back from the brink of death. Because he said he would always be with her, she loved him unconditionally for ten years.
But in the end, he broke his promise and abandoned her alone on the road and got off the car halfway.
Although he has changed his mind now, in her heart, that love has become impure.
Besides, her heart had been renovated, cleared of all traces of him.
Unknowingly, she was replaced by another man.
Who doesn't want to be loved? She's clearly more craving it than anyone else...
But, she doesn't even know what love is. Does she really have the ability to love someone well?
The voice in her heart tore at her for a long time, and she finally dialed Cheng Qing's number.
Cheng Qing was worried when he heard her hoarse voice: "Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yan: "Cheng Qing, I..."
Cheng Qing was anxious: "Hurry up and tell me, don't scare me."
Lin Yan lowered her eyes and looked at the necklace in her hand. Her voice was firm and light: "I... I want to be brave for once."
Cheng Qing was silent for at least half a minute. When he spoke again, he choked with relief: "Yan Yan, you finally... finally opened your heart..."
"He's so good." Lin Yan's eyes were sad and her voice trembled: "But I don't seem to be worthy of him..."
"No! Yanyan, you deserve anyone! You just have depression, it's a small matter and won't affect your relationship."
She never told Cheng Qing about her past.
But Cheng Qing saw her have a few episodes of illness during college, and she could only cover it up by simply saying she was depressed...
Seeing her silence, Cheng Qing's voice of advice continued to come from the receiver.
"Yan Yan, life is short. Go where your heart leads you. Don't overthink it. Life is very tolerant of mistakes. Even if the result is not satisfactory, at least you have enjoyed the journey."
"Yan Yan, love well. Don't confine yourself to the narrow area of the past. Try to break free. You will find that the leisurely clouds, the green grass and the fragrance of flowers are all very, very beautiful things."
…
It was half an hour later when I hung up the phone.
She put the necklace back on herself and made another call.
The call was connected, but there was no response from the other end.
There was silence for more than ten seconds.
Lin Yancai spoke: "Xing Yu."
"Um."
"Are you...feeling better?"
"Um."
"I want to talk to you again tonight."
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about the two of us again..."
