Chapter 53 Can I Hug You?

The front desk lady was named Zhou Wenshuang. She was a very nice person. Every time she was asked to do something, she was gentle and polite. Chushuang had a good impression of her.

I also learned a little about her family situation from casual conversations among my colleagues in the office. I had only heard about it before and didn't know whether it was true or not. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is difficult for Chu Shuang to describe the feeling.

Perhaps she had a smooth life since childhood and lived in a loving environment. She thought domestic violence was something that only existed decades ago.

When I actually saw it, I was shocked and felt indescribable sadness.

Zhou Wenshuang perhaps realized it, stretched out her hand and pulled her sleeve, then handed the document to her, "Is this it?"

Chu Shuang glanced at the file bag and saw Sun Mengzhu's name on it. "Yes, thank you."

"You are welcome."

Turning around, she ran into a male colleague who had hurried in from the door. Chu Shuang greeted him, "Why are you back?"

"Oh, I forgot to bring my phone. With such a bad memory, are you still not going to leave work?"

Hatsushimo shook the file bag in her hand and said, "I'll leave after delivering this."

"Send it back to the office? Give it to me and I'll bring it to you on the way."

Hatsushimo curled her lips and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."

After listening to the two women's conversation, Han Zhenhao sat quietly in his seat for a long time.

There are many people whose names contain the word "frost", and it may not be her.

But what if it was really her?

This possibility suddenly occurred to him, and he breathed lighter.

Most of the people in the office building had left, and thinking they wouldn't be able to wait for her, they just stood up and were about to leave. Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw someone slowly walking towards them from a distance.

My heartbeat suddenly quickened to a frequency that I could clearly feel.

Gone for a while.

This time I saw her, she seemed a little more... nervous than last time.

Pulling his cap low, he leaned sideways.

"A matcha black truffle." The woman's clear voice is easy to recognize.

"Okay, anything else?"

“Are there any delicious desserts that are not sweet?”

"Non-sweet dessert?" The waitress thought for a moment and said, "This pumpkin baked custard has less sugar, the sweetness is very natural, and it retains the sweetness of the pumpkin. You can try it."

I took a small piece from the girl and tried it. It was indeed not greasy. This sweetness should be acceptable to Shengting.

"Okay, then add a pumpkin baked custard and pack both."

After paying, the waiter brought the packaged dessert over. Hatsushimo reached out to take it, but her sleeve slipped down as her hand was raised, revealing the bruises on her skin.

Looking at the gauze wrapped around her palm, Han Zhenhao thought of what the two women had just said.

His head was buzzing as he sat there stiffly, feeling a strange sourness and coldness in his heart.

It almost made him breathless.

It turned out that she was not living well.

Married to a bad man and suffered domestic violence...

No wonder the man is never seen, that’s how her marriage is.

I thought she was interesting when I first met her, but later I discovered that she was gentle and talented, like a complex and white camellia.

Just standing there quietly can attract him to stop.

The beautiful flower had already been taken, so he had to stop his restless heart.

During this time, he forced himself to divert his attention, went to many places of debauchery, and met many women.

All kinds of them, gentle, hot, intellectual, and cold.

The plans failed, none of them could bring out the feeling she made him feel.

Later he discovered damn well that deceiving himself would only make him realize more deeply after he woke up: This time, things are different.

In Shi Yue's words, it seemed like he had failed.

Maybe he could see something. Shi Yue had reminded him before, both explicitly and implicitly, that one should not destroy other people's families.

How could he not understand this principle?

The root of his discomfort was the inability to do anything.

But now that I know her marriage is not happy, I feel uncomfortable again.

My mind is a mess.

An irresistible thought emerged from deep in my heart.

Chu Shuang had already left the dessert shop. Han Zhenhao seemed to have finally figured things out and took out his phone to check her WeChat.

He typed a few words in the chat box, paused, and deleted them.

No, he couldn't bring her any risk. If someone in her family saw something they shouldn't have, she would most likely get into trouble.

I'd better find a chance to talk to her alone later.

Hatsushimo saw her own car and got in with a smile, but found that there was only the driver inside.

"What about him?"

"Sir, you may get off work very late. Let me take you home first."

Looking at the pumpkin baked custard in her hand, Chu Shuang said, "Let's go back with him."

Then I asked the driver to drive to the Chamber of Commerce building on Nanhua Street.

This was Hatsushimo's first time here. The Chamber of Commerce building was indeed magnificent, with a row of flags standing tall in the square, fluttering in the wind.

Entering the hall, she found the decoration style was grand and elegant. Although there were people passing by, it was very quiet. She subconsciously did not dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing others.

I was taken upstairs to the president's office and the driver knocked on the door.

"Sir, the lady is here."

Chu Shuang walked in with desserts and took a quick look, and found that there was another woman in the office.

It was Chao Yu who treated her that night.

Seeing her, Sheng Ting's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, "Why are you here?"

"I've never been here before, come and take a look."

She walked in and nodded and smiled at Chao Yu.

"Thank you Miss Chao for coming to see me that night. I haven't even thanked you properly."

After thinking for a while, Hatsushimo handed her her black truffle cake and said, "This cake tastes good. Try it."

"It's just a small matter. Don't be so polite."

"Take it, it's really delicious. It's good to taste it."

Chao Yu smiled helplessly. Even though she didn't eat cream, it was not easy to offend her.

Sheng Ting said, "Keep it for yourself. She is allergic to cream."

The first frost brings a slight chill.

"I'm sorry."

Chao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay."

Suddenly she thought of something. She didn't even know the beauty's name yet.

The last time they met, it was such a chaotic situation that they didn’t have time to say hello properly, so he said to Sheng Ting: “I was in such a hurry last time that Sheng Ting didn’t introduce your wife to me.”

Chu Shuang extended her hand first. "Hello, my name is Chu Shuang, and I grew up in Guiyun."

The smile on Chao Yu's face froze for a moment, "Chu, Shuang... the Chu in Chuyi?"

The question was directed to Chu Shuang, but his eyes were looking at Sheng Ting.

Sheng Ting's dark eyes were calm, but Chao Yu seemed to understand something. Her heart trembled, and after her mind went blank, heat rose to her eyes.

Gan blinked twice to suppress the strange feeling, then reached out his hand to Chaoyu and held her.

This time, there were some more obscure emotions in Chushuang's eyes that were difficult to distinguish. Chushuang didn't quite understand it, but she could see some changes.

"Hello," Chao Yu said with a barely perceptible hoarseness, her eyes tracing the contours of Chu Shuang's eyebrows and eyes, "Miss Chu is very beautiful."

Looking through his eyes, he seemed to be filled with a layer of sadness.

"Miss Chao is also very beautiful."

"Sheng Ting and I are classmates. You should be much younger than me. Call me sister from now on."

Chao Yu looked at her, a smile appeared on her lips, and she asked softly, "Can I hug you?"

Chu Shuang was slightly stunned, but still nodded.
