He is obsessed with you
In the later stages of Gao Taizhuo's investigation, no accomplices were found. He insisted that it was a personal act and asked the prosecutor to make the final decision.
The prosecutor felt that this behavior looked like resignation to fate, while Yu Li felt that it was fearless.
She will wait for the "evil wolf" beside her to succeed and rescue him, and she will not hesitate to sacrifice her family for this.
The explosives were provided by Gao Taizhuo's family in China, and they were imprisoned with Gao Taizhuo. Now no one has stood up to speak for Gao Taizhuo, and he is one step away from the death penalty.
But Yu Li was not in the mood to worry about Gao Taizhu for the time being. Apart from satisfying her own bad taste, she was not a procrastinating person. After thinking about it for a day, she returned to Tianshuitai.
Cui Ze was there at the time, and during dinner he told her that he would be going on a business trip abroad in two days: "I will be back in a week at the latest."
Yu Li asked if it was about work: "How are things going between you and Cho Yu Kyung?"
"They've fallen out, and both sides hope the other will die on the street tomorrow." Cui Ze made a joke. Although it sounded cold, Yu Li still smiled to save his face.
"I'm going abroad this time to solicit investment. The person I'm looking for is currently on vacation abroad and won't be back for an extended period, so I can't wait."
After Yu Li finished her meal, Cui Ze naturally handed her a tissue. She took it and asked, "When are we going?"
Cui Ze: "We'll leave the day after tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh?" Yu Li responded with an ambiguous sound and threw away the tissue. She had originally thought that Cui Ze was going abroad and would talk about it after he returned, but since he was leaving the day after tomorrow, there was plenty of time.
Then she was not polite, "I have a question for you."
"What?" Cui Ze stood up to clean the dishes. There was a dishwasher at home, and it would run when his aunt was not around.
With his back to Yu Li, Cui Ze put the bowls in one by one. It was not cold at home. He was only wearing a thin shirt. When he bent over, he could see the muscles of his shoulder blades rising and falling.
Yu Li sat on the chair with her arms folded across her chest. "Besides Gao Taizhuo, have you taught anyone a lesson behind my back?"
Cui Ze paused.
This is not the first time Yu Li has asked this question.
Last time he answered "no".
Turning around, there was no smile on Yu Li's face. His eyes, which used to be gentle, were now cold. He relaxed his body and leaned against the kitchen counter.
"Yes." He changed his answer.
Yu Li raised her eyelids and said, "How did you lie? Weren't you honest with me?"
"It's meaningless." Cui Ze said softly. Yu Li had already discovered it, so there was no need for him to quibble.
I thought such happy days would last for a while.
"In that case," Yu Li stood up and kicked the chair away. It was not difficult to see that she was a little irritable. It was obvious that Cui Ze's concealment had some impact on her. "How did you know about Yan Huijun's matter?"
Cui Ze remained calm and said, "I've had someone follow you to find out about your movements."
Sure enough, Yu Li recalled what happened at the Cui family resort, when Cui Ze told her that marriage would not destroy the relationship between them, but trust would.
"And you sent someone to monitor me." Yu Li didn't know what expression to put on her face. Everything was ridiculous. Anyone could do this, but Cui Ze couldn't.
"What do you want to know from me? Or do you suspect me of something? Don't tell me I'm being watched just to keep me safe."
Cui Ze moved his mouth, wanting to say that he was not monitoring Yu Li, he just wanted to know Yu Li's movements, such as where she was at a certain time, so that he would not be unable to find her. Apart from that, he had no other requirements, and he did not pay attention to what Yu Li said or did.
However, saying these things would be no different from quibbling, and would only add fuel to the fire, so he would rather not say them.
Yu Li changed the question: "When did it start?"
Cui Ze said hoarsely: "Last year."
Yu Li suddenly realized that more than a year had passed.
Her relationship with Choi Taek only made progress in January this year. After so many years together, she really trusts Choi Taek. Choi Taek doesn't know that in her heart, she has gradually put the names "Choi Taek" and "Kwon Jae Kyung" together.
Kwon Jae-kyung is the person she trusts the most and is most important to her, and Choi Taek...can be the same too.
"Choi Taek, I don't want to be left in this limbo." Before her sanity returned, Yu Li was willing to give Choi Taek a chance, as long as Choi Taek could come up with a decent reason. "Tell me why you did this."
Yu Li waited for a long time, but all she got was Cui Ze's apology: "I'm sorry."
He said, "Perhaps you will find it ridiculous, but this is the only ridiculous answer I can give. I am only trying to ensure your safety."
The balance tilted, reason prevailed, and all the emotions in Yu Li's eyes disappeared.
"Chui Ze, do you call this action 'protection'?"
As she asked this question, she straightened the tilted chair and spoke in a nonchalant tone, looking no different from usual.
Cui Ze knew that Yu Li had adjusted herself.
She can accept any matter very quickly.
His throat tightened and Cui Ze stood up straight. Yu Li looked over and their gazes lasted for an unusually long time, then passed in a flash. Both pairs of eyes contained emotions that the other could not see through.
"I will withdraw the people." Cui Ze said.
Yu Li walked towards the room and turned back before entering: "Besides this, is there anything else you are hiding from me?"
Cui Ze shook his head, then realized that he had no credibility with Yu Li. "You can ask Zheng Ruizhen to check it out."
Yu Li didn't respond and the door closed instantly.
As night fell, the lights in the living room were off. Cui Ze sat alone on the sofa, his body lost in the darkness. A ray of light from the window was only enough to reveal his tightly pursed lips and superior nose. Looking up, the emotions on the verge of erupting were sealed in his eyes after struggling in the storm.
No one can see it, and he doesn't need anyone to see it.
I sat by the window for a long, long time, as if as long as the moon didn't set and the sun didn't rise, I could sit there forever.
Something suddenly felt empty, maybe it was this home.
He got up and packed his luggage. He didn't bring much with him, so if he needed anything, he could buy it locally. After packing for more than ten minutes, he closed the suitcase.
I still feel very uncomfortable.
Yu Li opened her eyes at six o'clock on time, got out of bed and washed up. When she came back from exercise, her aunt had already prepared breakfast, only enough for one person.
"Where is Cui Ze?" Yu Li asked as usual.
Auntie scratched her head, not understanding what these two people were arguing about: "He just went out. I asked him to have breakfast, and he said that you should eat well."
Why couldn't he just eat well in Yuli?
"Oh." Yu Li pulled the corner of her mouth, and seeing her aunt's confusion, she kindly explained, "He meant that it was quite unappetizing, so he didn't want to eat it together. He was afraid that I would see him indigestion."
Aunt:……
It’s confirmed, they were just arguing.
There was no room for her to interfere in the host's feelings, so she turned around and went back to cleaning.
After a leisurely breakfast, Yu Li drove to school. After a full day of classes, she didn't return to Tianshui Terrace in the afternoon, but returned to Yanhua Manor. On the way, she remembered Cui Ze's promise that he had no secrets from her. After a while of holding back her anger, she contacted Zheng Ruizhen.
I just said "I know", and now I have to check what I know. After parking the car, Yu Li knocked her head on the steering wheel.
After three times, someone knocked on the car window and Quan Zaijing was standing in front.
Yu Li got out of the car, and Quan Zaijing touched her forehead: "I've only seen this kind of childish behavior in your elementary school. You would behave like this every time you lost to Cui Ze in an exam."
As he got older, or perhaps he never lost a test again, this behavior disappeared. Kwon Jae-kyung occasionally missed Yu-ri's childhood, which was more fun than now.
These words did not sound pleasant to Yu Li's ears. Cui Ze, Cui Ze, it was Cui Ze again. She turned her head and shook off Quan Zaijing's hand.
Quan Zaijing was surprised: "Why, did you encounter any problems?"
After Yu Li went to college, she basically lived in Tianshuitai and returned to the manor only a few times a month, so the chances of the two meeting were greatly reduced.
"Let's go eat first."
Kwon Jae-kyung walked ahead, glancing sideways at Yu-ri, who was following behind him. It seemed like they hadn't talked in a while. In his mind, Yu-ri was already capable of handling matters independently, but now that he thought about it, Yu-ri wasn't even twenty yet.
Kwon Byung-hyuk and Lee Hyun-joo were not at home. After dinner, they were on the balcony enjoying the night view. It was not completely dark yet. Yu Li stretched out her hand and the breeze blew past.
Quan Quanhe brought a blanket over and said, "If you catch a cold, I still have to go to Tianshuitai to take care of you."
"No, Song Minjing asked someone to tell my fortune last time, and she said that everything will go smoothly for me this year, without any illness or disaster." Yu Li denied it, and inevitably thought of the many years before when Quan Zaijing took care of her when she was sick.
If he gets seriously ill, Quan Zaijing will be more nervous than she is.
Quan Zaijing smiled and said, "No illness or disaster?"
I almost got bombed when I went to Yutai last month. Now it seems a bit embarrassing to say that I have no illness or disaster.
Moreover, Song Minjing, who had consulted a fortune teller, had just been in the hospital.
Well, Yu Li felt uncomfortable and changed her posture. In front of her was the person she trusted the most, so she could relax and do anything.
Before he could save face, Quan Zaijing added, "But she really doesn't need my care anymore. After all, she has a fiancé, and she's going to hold an engagement party this year."
Tsk, you're bringing up something that's not related to the topic.
Yu Li squinted her face and looked at Quan Zaijing. It must have been intentional.
Kwon Jae-kyung did it on purpose. There are not many people who can make his sister depressed. After thinking about it, there are only those few. And he doesn't even want to go back to Tianshuitai, so Cui Ze is the only option.
Now it seems that I was right.
"What did Cui Ze do?"
Yu Li didn't hide it: "He arranged for someone to monitor me."
Quan Zaijing raised his eyes.
Yu Li: "I don't want to call this protection."
The protection she knows is protection, and the protection she doesn't know is surveillance.
Kwon Jae-kyung chuckled. He hadn't expected trust issues to arise between Yu-ri and Choi Taek. Yu-ri trusted him and told him everything because he and Yu-ri would never hide anything from each other.
He did not tell anyone about Lin Zhenyan's affairs. Only Yu Li knew the truth, and it was he who took the initiative to take Yu Li to see the scene. Similarly, Yu Li would tell him about Cui Ze's affairs without hesitation.
If Cui Ze understood this principle, he would not do such a thing.
"What are you going to do?" Kwon Jae-kyung knew that Yu Li didn't come to him for comfort, but just came to him to talk because he happened to be at home.
A better word would be “share”.
"Ah Xi, I'm a little irritated." Yu Li tucked her legs together, rarely showing such unladylike behavior. Turning to meet Quan Zaijing's gaze, she said dissatisfiedly, "Are you criticizing my actions? If you disagree, you can do the same as me."
Quan Zaijing chose to turn a blind eye.
After enough noise, Yu Li calmed down and said after a while, "Let's wait and see. I asked someone to check it out and I'm waiting for the results now."
If he did something else without telling her, she would put the cancellation of the engagement on the agenda. If it was just this one thing—
Asi.
Even if it's just this one thing, just one is enough, it will stick in my throat like a thorn.
Quan Zaijing said sarcastically: "You have never been so entangled, Quan Yuli, you are finished."
He leaned over and ruffled Yu Li's hair, then pulled his hand back before she could lose her temper: "You're screwed."
Yu Li sneered, thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one. Is she the kind of person who would be swayed by love?
Um, love?
Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them didn't speak anymore. Quan Zaijing lowered his head to deal with emails for a while. When he put down the tablet, Yu Li was already curled up and asleep.
Probably because I didn't sleep well last night.
He picked up Yu Li and tiptoed to her bedroom.
I remember there was a banquet one time. Yu Li hadn't slept well for a few days because she was busy with ISG matters. She found a place to sleep next to Cui Ze. Cui Ze's body seemed to be sealed at that time. An hour later, Yu Li was still in the same position when she slept.
On a whim, Kwon Jae-kyung asked someone to watch Choi Taek for an hour. During those sixty minutes, Choi Taek turned his head and looked at Yu Li twenty-three times, each time for no less than one minute.
His eyes looked like he wanted to drown someone, as if he was afraid that Yu Li would disappear if he wasn't paying attention.
Although he felt that love was fake, Kwon Jae-kyung thought that Choi Taek would take good care of Yu Li.
So, what went wrong that made Cui Ze do this?
The next day, when I woke up, I received the news that Cui Ze had changed his flight time and went abroad early. Yu Li still had things to do and didn't want to care about it for the time being. After breakfast, she went to the company.
Choi Taek was going on a business trip abroad and she wanted to go too, but their destinations were different. Choi Taek went to Jitan and she went to Country J. They had a fight that night and never talked about it.
Flora, the designer recommended by Park Sun-a, has decided to resign. Before that, she sent an email to extend an olive branch to her, but unfortunately she did not receive an ideal response. She plans to go abroad to discuss with Flora in detail.
I took a leave from school for the planned 3-5 days and talked with Park Sun-a before going to discuss whether ISG has a future.
"Flora's experience is similar to mine. She's experienced both the highs and lows of life. The company's size isn't what matters most to her right now," Park Sun-a said. She's not young anymore, she's won all the awards she deserves. Jewelry design is no longer just a job for someone like her. Perhaps only a shared philosophy can impress her. "She's a designer... full of love. I hope you'll succeed."
A designer full of love? She was a little unsure when she heard this. Yu Li went home to pack her luggage and opened the closet to find that it was full of clothes given by Cui Ze. "Wow," she exclaimed, isn't this closet full of love?
He dragged his suitcase to the airport, along with Zheng Zhihe, while Zheng Ruizhen stayed in the capital.
When Choi Taek had already landed in Gitan, Yu Li's plane had just taken off.
It was already evening when they arrived in Country J. Yu Li seemed fine, and even after arriving at the hotel, she was in the mood to get back to work. ISG was on track, and they were planning to expand their recruitment this year, so she had received many resumes.
In the early morning, Zheng Zhihe couldn't help but say: "Go to bed first, we have to see Flora tomorrow morning."
Yu Li seemed a little strange.
It was only after Zheng Zhihe reminded Yu Li that she realized it was already late. She turned off the computer and went to wash up without even looking at her phone once.
Zheng Zhihe tossed and turned in bed for a long time before sending a message to Zheng Ruizhen: "Maybe it's my imagination. Did the two of them have a fight?"
She stayed with Yu Li almost the entire day today, and didn't see any contact between Yu Li and Cui Ze, let alone a phone call, not even a message.
It was still daytime in the capital. Zheng Ruizhen was watching the surveillance video, determined to find the person who was "following" her. She rolled her eyes when she received the message from Zheng Zhihe. Even if they really had a quarrel, it was not their place to interrupt. Did Zheng Zhihe still want to be a caring sister and persuade Yu Li?
"For the sake of our colleagues, I'll teach you a lesson."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't interfere in what you shouldn't interfere in."
She was very anxious now. She hadn't noticed that Yu Li had been being followed for such a long time, which was a serious dereliction of duty. If she didn't find the person, she would resign.
Zheng Zhihe punched the pillow at the reply. She could almost feel Zheng Ruizhen's disdainful tone through the phone. Don't meddle in things you shouldn't meddle in? Ha, did she still need Zheng Ruizhen to teach her?
After covering herself with the quilt, Zheng Zhihe curled her lips and said, "Okay, okay, okay. She won't care or ask any questions."
The time I made an appointment with Flora was at 9:30 in the morning. She said she had to go out for something at 11 o'clock, but it might actually be earlier than that. The location was Flora's home, and Yu Li arrived on time.
The two-story Western-style building and a yard full of flowers and plants look poetic from a distance.
It was Flora's husband who opened the door. He had a sincere smile on his face, which made people feel like spring breeze. He invited the two of them to the reception room and went to call Flora.
Zheng Zhihe looked at the documents in her bag. All the introductions about ISG were in them. She even prepared a detailed introduction of Yu Li. If ISG couldn't impress Flora, she would use Kwon Yu Li's personal charm!
Yu Li, who still doesn’t know what Zheng Zhihe thinks: fine.
After waiting for two minutes, Flora came in. She had met many people in the past few days, all of whom wanted to recruit her. Yu Li thought she would be a little impatient, but like her husband, she had a smile from the heart on her face.
Seeing Yu Li's confusion, Flora pushed a cup of coffee towards her and said, "You're not the first person to have this doubt, honey."
"Chatting is not pressure, it's sharing. A lot of my inspiration comes from chatting. I like chatting with different people."
Ah, a lifestyle player, Yu Li understood and thanked him for the coffee.
Although Flora is not young anymore, she gives people a very youthful and lively feeling. She is the type who can discuss with young people about the muscular body of the new resident singer in the bar. Yu Li did not rush to talk about ISG with Flora. Since she liked to chat, they just chatted.
Making people laugh was a piece of cake for Yu Li. Flora needed inspiration, so she recounted all the bizarre things she'd encountered over the years. Half an hour passed, and the conversation drifted off into a tangent, making Zheng Zhihe anxious.
But at least she didn't show it on her face.
It was only half an hour until eleven o'clock. Flora finally stopped laughing and said seriously, "It's such a pleasure chatting with you. I almost lost my mind and agreed to go with you."
Zheng Zhihe hesitated whether to take out the documents she had prepared.
Flora was stopped by Yu Li and clearly had a request.
Flora: "I know why you're here, and I can tell you what my preference is. I like everything that's full of love, whether it's romance, family, friendship, or something as small as a little girl smiling at me on the street. I'll feel loved."
She was an orphan and had nothing when she was a child. Her husband took her to experience the world carefully and pushed her into the bustling crowd. After many experiences, she finally became an independent person and found her own way.
"I mean, I want to work with someone who shares the same philosophy as me, who can understand my designs, baby, do you understand me?"
Yu Li nodded, Flora had made it clear enough.
"So," Flora laughed again, "can you convince me on this?"
Yu Li folded her hands and asked her to say that she could feel all kinds of love in the world?
She has a good eloquence, just like when she went to the Ministry of Education as a student representative in high school but was questioned and challenged by Liang Taiyuan, now she can also speak eloquently.
However, she couldn't understand what Flora said about being loved by a stranger on the street just by smiling at her. Now that she had tricked her into returning, it was only a matter of time before she resigned.
Jung Ji-he was sweating over this question, so she pulled out the booklet she'd prepared about Kwon Woo-ri—yes, she'd printed it into a small booklet, and she'd asked Song Min-jung for help because they were short on materials. She handed it to Flora and said, "Perhaps you could take a look at this. She won't disappoint you."
Kwon Wook-ri will always succeed. Even if she cannot resonate with Flora's ideas now, she can still lead Flora on the road to success.
Flora did not refuse. Yu Li was surprised at first what Zheng Zhihe had prepared, but when Flora flipped through the booklet and saw the pictures in it, she understood.
The stickers are all pictures of her MVP results in various occasions and competitions, where she stands high and receives applause from everyone present.
...but it's a bit awkward. Yu Li covered her face with her hands and exchanged glances with Zheng Zhihe: What are you doing?
Zheng Zhihe blinked: I am using your personal charm to charm her.
It includes the classic showdown between ISG and Tia on the rooftop. She recorded every word Yu Li said.
Yu Li had the rare illusion that the corner of her mouth twitched.
To her surprise, Flora said she gained a lot after reading the photos: "I got inspiration from these pictures."
Why? Yu Li didn't quite understand.
Flora smiled as expected. She waved at Yu Li, sharing a secret like a good friend: "I guessed it, but you might not have noticed. Look here, and here. I can see someone who loves you in almost every picture."
Someone who loves me? Yu Li looked down.
Flora pointed at Quan Jae-kyung and said, "He was sitting in the front row watching you go up on stage to receive the award. He was very proud of you."
Proud? Yu Li saw this photo and felt that Quan Zaijing's expression was no different from his usual expression, always calm.
Flora said that Quan Zaijing was proud of her?
"And this one and this one. She was there for everything you were involved in."
It’s Song Minjing.
Flora: "Every time you look at her, she smiles at you. You two are really good friends, right? Her love for you is pure."
Yu Li's eyes swept over every photo Flora pointed to. She had taken many photos, either taken by herself or by friends and family. The total number was a huge one. Unfortunately, she didn't like to reminisce about the past. Her time was always moving forward, and she never looked back.
I've never really looked at these photos.
Minjing, what were you thinking when you picked up the knife and fought against the three gangsters?
Finally, Flora points to a man and says, "He has a crush on you."
Yu Li looked over and saw that it was Cui Ze.
Surprised, yet not surprised, a contradictory feeling.
Flora whispered with nostalgia, "I used to not understand that look until my friend pointed out to me with a photo that someone liked me."
Her husband, just like Cui Ze at this moment, always looked at her silently.
Flora: "Maybe you're used to it, so your eyes tend to be directed towards other people you think you should pay attention to. But he's different. He's always looking at you."
In the corner, in the crowd, beside Yu Li, behind Yu Li.
No matter where he was, Cui Ze was looking at Yu Li.
Zheng Zhihe covered her mouth for fear of screaming. She never felt it was wrong before, but now looking back, it was all proof of love.
Cui Ze, unexpectedly came so early——
Yu Li opened the booklet: "We are friends. He doesn't care if I marry someone else."
Flora retorted, "So what now? Did you choose someone else?"
Yu Li pretended not to care and spread her hands: "Not yet, but in the future..."
We're in the middle of a cold war, so it's hard to say.
Flora: "He doesn't mind you marrying someone else because he himself hasn't even realized his feelings for you. If he did, I don't think he would be able to suppress such overwhelming love."
My heart and eyes are filled with one person. Either we are together or we are separated forever.
"Baby, you're loved by many people," Flora concluded. She had gotten to know Yu Li. "From this booklet, I can see that you and I are not actually the same kind of people."
Zheng Zhihe got anxious, but the result was counterproductive.
Flora held Zheng Zhihe's hand and asked her not to worry. "But, I've become interested in you. The changes a person goes through from not being able to feel love to learning to love are truly amazing."
She seemed to see her earlier self, from the perspective of an observer.
"I personally really want to join your team, but logic tells me I have to consider it carefully. I'm hosting a personal tea party in a day. Would you mind joining me? We can talk then."
It was eleven o'clock and she and her husband had to go out without any further delay.
Yu Li naturally agreed. Since she was not rejected directly, there was finally some hope.
After parting with Flora, Yuli and Jung Ji-ha found a place to eat. The afternoon sun was blazing, so they returned to their hotel to rest. Jung Ji-ha, mindful of Jung Seo-jin's words, remained silent and acted as a diligent assistant.
Yu Li was still working. What happened in the morning didn't seem to have any impact on her. She was still the calm and rational Quan Yu Li.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, my phone vibrated and I received a message from Cui Ze.
Yu Li finished the work at hand and clicked it to see that it was a location in Jitan. There was no other words.
After being stunned for two seconds, she quickly stood up and called Cui Ze. As expected, the phone prompt said it was turned off and the call could not be connected.
Something happened to Cui Ze.
