Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Every Syllable is Superfluous
The atmosphere in the room was tense, and for some reason, a strange idea popped up in Xitong's mind.
For a long time afterwards, she didn't understand herself at that time. Why did she think that this incident could make Yu Sixie calm down?
He is not a gossipy person.
But that's what she said at the time.
She could still feel the scorching heat behind her, but Xitong took a deep breath. Her old waist couldn't bear it for even a second longer.
"How about I tell you a shocking secret so you won't be angry anymore?"
Although it was a self-directed performance, the tense atmosphere was broken, and Xitong breathed a sigh of relief. The blood began to flow again, and she felt a sense of control over her body was regained.
"Um."
That night, Yu Sixie didn't know why he agreed to Xi Tong's unreasonable request, and just let those two red lips open and close.
What he knew was that if time could go back, he would never let Xitong say a single extra word, no, not even a single syllable would be superfluous.
He should have peeled off the poor little piece of cloth when Xitong's butt was raised so fragilely, and then pushed it in hard.
…
The next day, Lihe Group.
Xi Tong, who was parachuted into Lihe Group these days, directly moved into the office of Mr. Yu, the founder of Lihe Group.
At first, the senior executives of the group were a little dissatisfied, but the secretary who had followed Mr. Yu for most of his life kept silent, lowered his head, and followed a girl who looked like a child without any complaints. Then they all shut up.
You should know that before Mr. Yu retired, he had to be courteous to this old secretary.
Where does this girl come from?
Could it be the daughter of the rich man above? Even the girl has to be worshipped like a Buddha, so it must be those few people.
The Huashan Hospital project team and some employees who had close ties with the Yu family knew Xi Tong's true identity, but as the rumors became more and more mysterious, they all remained silent.
The building, which had been lifeless due to the high pressure of work, was unexpectedly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Everyone is gossiping.
Mr. Xi from Haicheng Group really lives up to his reputation. He is a son blessed by good fortune and has good luck all the time.
But in fact, the unattainable "daughter" at the center of public opinion was lowering her head at this time, being scolded by a woman wearing a loose T-shirt and big shorts across the table.
"How could you tell Yu Sixie that I like Wen Yanming?"
"Um?"
Su Luyao's angry eyes were filled with disbelief.
"I was wrong, Yaoyao."
"Wrong? What did you do wrong? Tell me???"
The woman's voice was not much better because of her best friend's apology, which was as soft as an insect's chirp. She picked up the priceless teacup on the desk, drank the tea in it, and then slammed it on the table with a "bang".
The secretaries outside the door, who dared not make a sound, gasped when they saw this scene.
This cup is more valuable than their lives!
"If you lose your loyalty for the sake of beauty, and leak the secrets between your besties, you deserve to be struck by lightning."
At this time, Xi Tong was really reflecting on her mistakes, because she not only offended her best friend and parenting teammate Su Luyao, but also angered Yu Sixie, who had recently had some complaints about her and Wen Yanming.
After Su Luyao found out, she mercilessly mocked Xi Tong: "What the hell is going on in your head? How great is it to promote Wen Yanming in front of Yu Sixi? How wise is it that your best friend Yaoyao likes him? Huh?"
"You're praising another man in front of a man, tsk tsk tsk," she lifted up Xitong's face, which looked like she was suffering from death, parted the loose hair on her forehead, bent her fingers, and gave her best friend a slap on the head.
The two people who were conducting a criticism meeting, one standing and one sitting, did not notice that there was an extra person in the office.
The secretaries guarding the door did not inform anyone either.
Yu Sixie, wearing a high-end black suit, crossed his arms over his chest and listened silently to the entire conversation between his two best friends.
Even at a distance of about ten meters, Xitong could still clearly see the mocking smile on Yu Sixie's lips, exactly the same as what she saw last night when she was only ten centimeters away.
If she took a compass to measure at this time, she would definitely find that the angle of this sarcastic smile was the same.
In this regard, Su Luyao was not afraid of being targeted for scolding the boss's "little wife" in front of him.
Compared to a certain "little wife" who is disloyal, maybe the boss likes her more now.
At this moment, Xitong felt that she could just disappear from this world.
…
Over the next few days, Xitong's life was uncharacteristically quiet.
Yu Sixie, who had said not long ago that he wanted to pursue her, was rarely seen because of Wen Yanming or because he was very busy with work. Although they still lived in the same room and slept in the same bed, they had rarely seen each other.
Xitong fell asleep and Yu Sixie had not returned yet; when Xitong woke up, Yu Sixie had already left.
There was no warmth at the edge of the bed, and Yu Sixie had the habit of tidying it up, so the bed was so tidy that it looked as if no one had slept in it that night.
Su Luyao's whereabouts have been unknown for the past few days. Contrary to her usual behavior, she has not stayed at the Yu Mansion.
Did she really go after Wen Yanming?
Su Luyao, who has a social anxiety score exceeding 100% and is extremely resistant to love and marriage, is pursuing someone?
Xitong's mind couldn't imagine such a scene at all.
"Mr. Xi, Mr. Xi? It's time for us to set off for Huashan Hospital." The fat team leader interrupted Xi Tong's thoughts.
"OK."
Although life is quiet, it does not mean leisure.
She quickly recovered and returned to work. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to follow up on a project in Beijing that would be comparable to the one being run in City W.
Grandma's condition has been improving recently, and she doesn't have much time left to stay in Beijing.
When grandma is able to be discharged from the hospital, she will go back to W City with Yaoyao and Xiaozhi.
As for Yu Sixie and the Yu family... she didn't know what to do for the time being.
My mind is blank.
…
At this time, in a high-end shopping mall not far from Lihe Group, there was only a man and a woman sitting in a famous internet celebrity coffee shop.
Maybe because it was a weekday, there were very few people coming, with only a few delivery guys showing up occasionally.
The coffee shop staff are no longer surprised by men and women coming to the store for dates, and some not-so-famous celebrities also come to check in with them.
"Hello, these are the two special meals you ordered today."
Even though he had seen many people with outstanding looks, the clerk still couldn't help but glance at Wen Yanming out of the corner of his eye.
This man in a light blue shirt and khaki trousers is eye-catching. What is special about him is not only his handsome face, but also the gentle and elegant temperament he exudes.
Compared with the man, the woman sitting opposite seemed very mediocre. Although she looked exquisitely dressed, she was still just like everyone else.
The waiter silently said no to this table's date.
The two of them don't get along.
"Yaoyao, what's the matter with you asking me out today?"
The last time they met was in a bar, and he was scolded to bits. But Wen Yanming's natural instinct for emotions made him somewhat anticipate Su Luyao's purpose in asking him out today.
He carefully picked up a spoonful of fresh sea bass for Su Luyao who was sitting opposite him, which she could hardly reach.
"Thanks."
Su Luyao's cheeks unconsciously turned pink, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and the white beret on her head was a little crooked, revealing the unruly hair on her forehead.
Wen Yanming unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and looked at her carefully. He found that she actually looked a bit like his cousin.
Popular songs played one after another in the restaurant.
There was always silence between the two of them. Su Luyao did not answer Wen Yanming's question, but it was not because she didn't want to. Before coming here, she had written countless drafts of her confession.
But at this moment, the person she loved was sitting in front of her, and she could not do anything other than trying to control her trembling hands holding the fork.
When the song ended, all the food on the table was eaten.
“I…I…”
Su Luyao finally looked up at Wen Yanming. She took a deep breath and mustered up her courage.
The coffee shop is filled with the aroma of coffee mixed with the fragrance of food. Many years later, whenever Su Luyao goes to a shop that combines coffee and catering, she will recall the taste of the confession of her first love.
Nervous, expectant, confused...
The smell remained in her body instead of the memory. If she knew the ending, she would only want to say to herself at that time, be braver, Su Luyao!
"I need to go to the bathroom."
Under Wen Yanming's unblinking gaze and captivating smile, Su Luyao managed to utter a few words.
"good."
The man's voice was as gentle as a cute little lamb without any lethality.
Such a voice was so gentlemanly and harmless that the woman in the pale yellow knee-length dress paused, her white Mary Jane high heels touching the ground and she turned her head.
The sunlight from outside the window poured into the room and fell on Wen Yanming.
This picture perfectly coincides with the image of the second male lead that Su Luyao has admired in her mind for countless days and nights. Why didn't she realize it earlier?
Perhaps, the gentleness of the second male lead will only shine particularly brightly when set against the backdrop of a cold and tough male lead.
Wen Yanming will only become a complete person after Yu Sixie appears.
The blushing woman didn't notice that a cold flash crossed the eyes of the man she was staring at.
"I like you, Wen Yanming. Will you date me?"
…
Yu Sixie has been very busy these past few days, with more and more tasks assigned to him by his superiors. Although they are all familiar procedures, the hatred in the eyes of those people when they were taken away is like fine needles piercing his heart.
The cold water made him breathe a sigh of relief.
After turning off the switch, Yu Sixie leaned his hands on the wall and lowered his head.
The clear water on the ground was red, the red of blood.
When did this heart, which had long been numb from work, begin to learn to be afraid again?
Not far away, the woman sleeping on the two-meter-wide bed turned over, and her long black curly hair appeared from the light pink quilt.
A chuckle escaped the man's lips.
He opened his eyes again, and the bloody hallucinations disappeared.
"Xiao Xi."
Yu Sixie held the sleeping Xitong in his arms. Feeling the warmth, she curled up in his arms like a kitten.
He wanted to protect her and wanted her to be happy for the rest of her life, but he always failed to do so.
Sometimes, he would wonder, if he was born in an ordinary family, would everything be different?
The lights in the room finally went out.
