Chapter 35 I Want to Tell a Lie
In the afternoon, I took the customer to visit the factory and then returned to the hotel.
Finally, we arranged for them to stay in the hotel.
After standing in high heels for a long time all day, Yan Nian almost felt paralyzed.
She was wearing a very formal white shirt and a tight skirt today, and a pair of seven-centimeter high heels on her feet.
The collar of her shirt was buttoned tightly, the hem of her shirt was tucked into her skirt, her waist was slender and could be held in one hand, and a pair of straight, long legs were exposed.
After much difficulty, they found a seat in the hotel lobby and You Jia sat down next to her.
By now, he was too exhausted to move away from her.
Yan Nian rarely wears high heels, and her heels have long been rubbed to a bloody mess.
A WeChat message came in on You Jia's phone. She glanced at her, stood up, and walked away in her high heels.
The two of them never got along well, so when she returned to the company, she didn't see the message Gu Pingping sent in the group, and You Jia didn't call her.
Yan Nian asked the front desk for a Band-Aid to treat the wound, then picked up her phone to check. More than ten minutes ago, Gu Pingping had sent a message in the group, asking them to gather in the parking lot for dinner.
When she walked to the parking lot, there was no car there.
She didn't have time to read the message and stayed there for too long, so it's no one's fault.
It's already seven o'clock.
After running all day, I didn’t eat well at noon and was already hungry and thirsty.
Yan Nian prepared to take the elevator up and then go out to take a taxi.
When the elevator came down, Zhou Ran happened to come out with his cell phone to his ear, talking on the phone.
Seeing her pause, his eyes moved down, resting on her trembling legs for a moment, then moved away, frowning and asking the person on the phone: "Do you mind bringing someone?"
Yan Nian didn't leave either. It would take a long time to take the elevator and then get a taxi. Her legs were almost broken, so she simply waited for him to finish his call and then tried to find a way to get a ride back with him.
I've already thought of a hundred or eighty reasons in my head.
Seeing that she was leaning to the side and not leaving, Zhou Ran curled his lips.
Yan Nian heard his tone and knew he had a good relationship with the person on the phone. She deliberately dragged out her tone and said, "Um, female..."
"Okay, see you later."
After he hung up the phone with a smile, Yan Nian heard that he seemed to be going to meet someone.
However, it would be fine if I could pull her out and hail a taxi on the roadside. The fewer steps we have to walk, the better.
Yan Nian stood up straight immediately, wanting to ask if he could get a ride: "Mr. Zhou..."
Zhou Ran asked, "Why aren't you with them?"
Yan Nian choked and said tiredly: "I just sat on it for a while and missed the bus. Can..."
"Come on, take mine." Zhou Ran walked past her and headed straight for the parking lot.
Yan Nian paused, wondering if he really didn't want to listen to her.
I followed him closely, and the moment I got in the car and sat down, I felt the blood circulation in my body return to normal and my legs were saved.
Zhou Ran glanced at her and said, "Take off your shoes."
Yan Nian's originally tired eyes finally focused a little, and she looked back at him in astonishment. Her first reaction was that it was not good, and her second reaction was that she wanted to throw away these shoes.
I confirmed again: "Is it okay?"
Zhou Ran tried hard not to look at her legs and started the car: "Yeah."
After getting consent, Yan Nian didn't act pretentiously. She took off her high heels and put them at her feet. She stepped on the soft car mat and felt her legs were back to normal.
Zhou Ran couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. He noticed the bandage on her heel and said, "Let me take you home first."
Yan Nian was stunned for a moment. He meant to send her home, so how could she do that? "No, just drop me off downstairs at the office. I have to go back and punch in."
Zhou Ran smiled. Even in such a situation, he still cared about perfect attendance. His tone softened. "Go back and change clothes first. I'll find Gu Pingping tomorrow to explain the situation."
Yan Nian was waiting for these words, and felt relieved: "Okay."
The sun had already set when they arrived at Huayue Mansion. Yan Nian, holding her high heels, prepared to leave: "Thank you. Drive carefully."
Zhou Ran was used to this kind of unfamiliarity and called out to Yan Nian before she opened the car door: "Yan Nian."
Yan Nian let go of the handle in her hand, turned around and looked into his light-colored eyes, not knowing what was going on.
Zhou Ran asked, "Is anyone home?"
Yan Nian didn't react: "Huh?"
After staring at each other for a few seconds, I noticed his Adam's apple moving, and then he said calmly, "If no one is around, change your clothes and come down. I'll take you to dinner."
Yan Nian was still confused by the previous question. She didn't respond and was stunned by his tone that did not allow anyone to refuse.
Are you going to treat her to a meal alone?
Her eyes flickered twice, and for some reason, she wanted to lie: "No one is home."
Seeing her flattered expression, Zhou Ran added seriously, "My childhood friend is having a welcome party tonight. Why don't you come with me for a quick meal? You've been running around all day."
When Yan Nian heard the latter sentence, his heart suddenly felt empty and he couldn't help feeling a little lost.
It turned out that she was working hard and missed the chance to have dinner with Gu Pingping and the others, so his childhood friend invited her to the welcoming party.
I used to often hear him mention his childhood friend, who was a very outstanding boy, his childhood playmate and his friend as an adult.
The two families are old friends.
Having been in the same school from elementary school to college, she had a certain place in his heart, but she had never seen it.
We could have met, but she returned to Lingyun early.
Seeing her stunned, Zhou Ran let out a laugh and asked nonchalantly, "Are you going?"
Yan Nian retracted his stunned expression, concealed the disappointment in his eyes, and asked, "Are there many people?"
She thought, if there are too many people, forget it.
Zhou Ran said, "About ten, not too many."
Yan Nian was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "Okay, then wait for me."
After saying that, she put on her high heels and hurriedly got out of the car barefoot.
Her uncontrollable feet told her that she wanted to go.
Zhou Ran wanted to remind her to put on her shoes, but she had already slammed the door shut.
Looking at the person in the passenger side rearview mirror, the corners of his lips curled up.
Yan Nian hurried home, entered the password to open the door, and put her high heels next to the shoe cabinet.
The lights in the living room were on. Yan Qilin had returned and was on the phone.
Seeing her coming in from the entrance, she said "Let's talk later" to the person on the phone and hung up in a hurry.
Yan Nian subconsciously looked towards the balcony and the kitchen and asked, "Dad, where's Mom?"
"Your mother has something to do at the company, so she won't be home for dinner tonight." Yan Qilin saw her walking barefoot on the floor, so he walked to the entrance and got her a pair of slippers from the cabinet: "Put your shoes on quickly, the floor is cold."
Seeing a Band-Aid on her heel, I asked, "Why are your feet so bruised? Come here and let me take a look."
A smile appeared on Yan Nian's lips: "My feet are dirty, I'll go wash them first."
After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "By the way, Dad, I won't be eating at home tonight. I have an appointment with a colleague."
Before Yan Qilin could ask, his daughter had already gone into the room with her slippers in hand.
This is the first time I see her so happy.
Yan Qilin walked to the kitchen and said to Aunt Zhang, "Don't cook anymore. Take a break! No one's eating."
Yan Nian changed into a comfortable and slim-fitting square-neck white T-shirt and gray wide-leg pants, picked up her phone and was about to leave, but then she thought of something and came back to fix her makeup in front of the dressing table.
She wiped off the dark lipstick and replaced it with a soft glaze color, and let her hair down into a more gentle low ponytail.
I felt my neck was empty, so I took out a clavicle chain and put it on.
She had fair skin, and the clavicle chain hanging around her neck was so bright that she hesitated for a long time before taking it off and putting it in the box.
