Chapter 94 I Want to Live with You
Finally, it was time to get off work, and the design department instantly became lively.
Zhou Xiaomeng was the first to pick up her bag and rushed out of the office in her high heels, her speed comparable to that of college students rushing to the cafeteria as soon as the bell rang.
"Oh, you're in such a hurry, are you going on a date?" a colleague joked.
Zhou Xiaomeng turned around and cast a wink: "Secret~"
However, this "secret" was revealed in less than five minutes - many colleagues saw Zhou Xiaomeng skillfully open the passenger seat of a black BMW and get in coquettishly.
The person in the driver's seat was none other than the company's Vice President Zhang, who had a receding hairline and a slightly protruding belly!
"Oh my god! Is that Vice President Zhang's car?" Wen Xiaoqiao, who had just left the company, suddenly grabbed Li Ruoyi's arm, her eyes wide open. "Zhou Xiaomeng is already in the Vice President's car?"
Zhang Yue, who also witnessed this scene, sneered, his voice not loud but sharp enough: "Vice President Zhang's wife is notoriously aggressive. Have you forgotten how she caused trouble in the company last time?
With that kind of fighting power, even Zhen Huan would have to resign. This intern is playing with fire, he's simply risking his life.
She curled her lips in disdain, thinking: Vice President Zhang looks so indescribable, with a beer belly and a bald head, how can I possibly eat this? Young people these days are so blind to shortcuts that they just do whatever they want—they're really going all out!
Several colleagues nearby exchanged looks that said "those who understand, understand!" and tried to hold back their laughter but didn't dare to show it too obviously.
Zhang Yue flipped her hair, looking proud and arrogant. "Unlike me, I've always been attracted to golden bachelors like Mr. Chen. Mature, steady, and wealthy, this is the ideal type in the world, right?"
Finally, I made a cheering gesture: Ole Gei! One day, I will make Mr. Chen notice me!
Li Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Sister Yue, isn't your goal a bit too high? Director Chen is the dream lover of every female employee in the company. The competition is as fierce as choosing a concubine in the harem!"
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Yue held his head high. "You still have to have dreams. What if something goes wrong? Besides, if I can't get Mr. Chen, can I still not get the salary his company pays me?"
A group of people were talking and laughing as they walked towards the subway station. Only Su Nian was hiding silently behind the crowd, thinking in his heart: Stepfather, you are so lucky in love. The whole company is your potential harem!
When Si Yan came to pick her up from get off work, Su Nian told him everything she had just seen. She was worried about her mother's happiness and couldn't help but sigh, "Ms. Su Hong's love life has been too bumpy..."
Si Yan held her hand and patted it gently, saying softly, "We are here to help Mom clear all the obstacles!"
At this time, Chen Ran, Su Nian's stepfather, was having dinner at her biological mother, Ms. Su Hong's house - this was his 15th time this month, and he was so familiar with coming here after get off work that it was like going home.
Su Hong couldn't stand his frequent appearances. "Let me make a deal with you. Can you please not come to my house so often?"
Chen Ran thought about it and proposed seriously: "How about this, I'll cook from now on and you can eat the ready-made food?"
Su Hong held her forehead helplessly. It wasn't a question of who would cook. Okay, was it really appropriate for them to stay together like this every day? The neighbors probably thought she had remarried.
Chen Ran - Sister, have you ever been married? Even if we are married, this would be our first marriage, right?
"Although your family is not in Jiangcheng, you still have a family. It is really inappropriate for you to come to my house, a single woman, for dinner every day." She simply made it clear today.
"Someone with a family?" Chen Ran was a little confused, his expression as bewildered as a lost child. "Where is my...family? How come I don't know?"
"How irresponsible!" Su Hong felt that she had misjudged him. "Aren't your wife and children in the south?"
"Sister, I'm single!" Chen Ran said word by word, his tone as solemn as if he was taking an oath.
"Ah, divorced?" Su Hong said, "No wonder..."
"I've never been married, okay?" Chen Ran interrupted her, looking at her with a look of confusion. "Unmarried, childless, no marriage history! Do you want to see the household registration book?"
——Wait, should we give a discount on the childlessness clause?
"For the past twenty years...you have been single?" Su Hong was stunned.
"Yeah." Chen Ran nodded. "What else? Do you think I'm the kind of scumbag who would secretly marry, have children, and have an affair?"
Su Hong couldn't believe her ears and eyes. Are there still people like this these days?
Chen Ran looked at her and smiled helplessly - how could there be no more people who valued love and loyalty? It is precisely because they are rare that they are precious. You must cherish them, big sister!
"For so many years, there has always been someone in my heart, and there is no room for anyone else." Chen Ran looked at Su Hong affectionately and said, his eyes were sticky enough to be drawn.
Su Hong's heart trembled suddenly, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She turned her face away and said pretending not to care: "We are not eighteen years old, so stop talking so smoothly here."
Chen Ran leaned forward, and the chandelier above the dining table cast a circle of warm light on his head, illuminating the seriousness in his eyes clearly.
"Su Hong," his voice deepened, carrying with it an earnestness that had been suppressed for years. "Although my mother was a factor back then, the most important thing was that I made you lose confidence, which is why you disappeared without saying goodbye. I swore back then that I would become stronger, so I've been working very hard all these years."
——It turns out that he made himself the chairman just so that he could sit here with a clear conscience today... and eat for free.
Chen Ran continued seriously, "Until I found you and learned that you actually had a daughter, I thought it was a gift from God. All my previous efforts suddenly became meaningful!"
"My thoughts are just as you think," Chen Ran's gaze fell on the tip of her slightly red ear, and every word he said was weighted.
Su Hong's inner thoughts: What am I thinking? I'm not thinking anything! -- Stop giving me those inner thoughts!
"I want to live a good life with you! Now that my daughter is married, to be exact, I want to live with you." Chen Ran finally spoke out what was in his heart.
Abbreviation: I want to rekindle our past relationship with you.
——Is this a love confession from a middle-aged person?
Su Hong clenched her chopsticks tightly, her knuckles turning white. She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly but remarkably clear. "My mind is... a mess right now. Give me some time to think it over."
The amount of information is too large and the CPU is a bit burned.
Chen Ran looked at her tense profile, his Adam's apple moved, and finally he just said "hmm" softly. There was a bit of cautious waiting in the expectation in his eyes.
The dinner ended in a delicate atmosphere. Chen Ran took the initiative to clear the dishes, his movements as skillful as the host.
Su Hong looked at his busy back, feeling mixed emotions.
