Chapter 64 Tie up that sentimental scumbag (15)
Shen Zhuoyuan sat on the sofa in the living room, his eyes unfocused. The temporary secretary he called over didn't dare to say anything. Everyone in the company could see that Shen Zhuoyuan was in a bad mood these days. The old employees knew their boss's personality, and they also knew about Li Ziyan's resignation, so no one bothered to come over and get in the way.
Fortunately, Li Ziyan's timing of resignation was relatively good. All projects in the company were already on track, and Shen Zhuoyuan didn't need to worry too much. He was now completely satisfied with Li Ziyan.
The words of Chen Mengzhu and Nan Xun stirred up a wave in his heart. He had to admit that when he saw the intimacy between Chen Mengzhu and the other two, he felt a little bitter in his heart.
He also had to admit in his depression that it was his evasion, his arrogance and irresponsibility that led to the current situation. In fact, after learning that Li Ziyan had left, Shen Zhuoyuan still retained a glimmer of hope in his heart. He thought that Li Ziyan was just having a quarrel with him and would eventually come back. However, it was not until today that he realized that it was not that Li Ziyan could not leave him, but that he had long been unable to leave Li Ziyan.
This realization came too late. Shen Zhuoyuan's eyes turned red. He called Li Ziyan over and over again, but the only response he got was "the call could not be connected". He knew that Li Ziyan had blocked him.
"Help me find him."
"... Assistant?"
"Well, find him."
Wei Ning's mood was hard to describe. He and Shen Zhuoyuan had been friends for so many years, but he had never seen Shen Zhuoyuan look so embarrassed, not to mention that it was because of love.
"Why did you find him? You found the assistant, then played with his feelings and hurt him again? Wouldn't that be more harm than good?"
"...Help me find him, there won't be any more." Shen Zhuoyuan's expression became painful, Wei Ning's words were like knives stabbing into his heart.
He now understood that the reason he didn't care about relationships before was because he had never loved before. The reason why the people before him were indifferent after leaving him, and only a few came to entangle with him, was because they didn't love him either. They just took what they needed and treated "relationships" as a game for entertainment.
Li Ziyan is different. He is trying hard to manage the relationship between the two people and treat their relationship with care.
The reason why he didn't want to disclose the relationship between the two in front of outsiders was because Li Ziyan knew that Shen Zhuoyuan was not that serious and wanted to leave himself a decent way out in the future, but he didn't expect that it would be so embarrassing in the end.
Shen Zhuoyuan's expression became increasingly ugly, his hands tucked into his hair, his face filled with pain. Wei Ning sighed and nodded.
"Okay, stop looking so miserable. I'll help you check. Now you should think about how to get your assistant back."
"Thanks."
"Why are you thanking me?"
Different family backgrounds have different strengths. Wei Ning's mother has some connections with the government and knows a famous private detective, so it is not difficult to investigate someone.
Li Ziyan was an ordinary person with no background in this world. Moreover, he had no intention of disappearing from the world, so it took less than a day to check his information.
When Shen Zhuoyuan stood in front of Li Ziyan's apartment door, his hands were shaking and he hesitated to press the doorbell. Three or two residents passed by him and saw him lingering there. They all looked at him suspiciously. He stood there, still not moving, but the door opened by itself.
The person who had only appeared in his dreams within a few days was now standing in front of him. She was still as beautiful and had a gentle expression, but her eyes were no longer filled with tenderness and love as usual. Instead, they were filled with suppressed admiration and hurt.
"Xiaoyan..."
"...Mr. Shen, why are you here?" Li Ziyan lowered his head, refusing to look into Shen Zhuoyuan's eyes, holding the door handle with no intention of moving away.
"Xiaoyan, I miss you so much." Shen Zhuoyuan's voice was no longer as deep and magnetic as before. It was slightly hoarse, which made Li Ziyan's heart move slightly. He put a little more force on the door, but still did not move away. "Xiaoyan, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Can you give me another chance..."
"Boss Chen, we..." Li Ziyan didn't finish his words when the landline in the room rang. He was stunned for a moment, but still went to the small coffee table again, "It's me, it's okay, it's mine... an acquaintance, please excuse me."
The call was from the property management. The security guard had just noticed that there was someone standing at Li Ziyan's door, so he called Li Ziyan to ask him to pay attention. He wanted to confirm Li Ziyan's safety.
It was an ordinary phone call, but it made Shen Zhuoyuan's heart feel like a big hole was poked in it.
An acquaintance, now he has even slept with all his friends.
Without Li Ziyan's permission, Shen Zhuoyuan would not easily enter Li Ziyan's room. He still stood at the door, and his eyes, which were always high-spirited, were now filled with slow heartache and apology, making Li Ziyan's heart not as desolate as before.
"Mr. Chen, we... Actually, this is a matter of time. I know it. We are not suitable. Like I said before, I am not worthy of you. Let's just leave it at that, okay?" It was obvious that Li Ziyan was not sincere when he said this. His last words were still trembling. He lowered his head and a tear fell to the ground, splashing a small amount of water.
This tear was like a drop of magma, falling on the tip of Shen Zhuoyuan's heart, burning him so much that it hurt.
"That's not the case, Xiaoyan..." Shen Zhuoyuan shook his head, losing his former pride and elegance. He was dressed so exquisitely, and it was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into it, but his face was particularly haggard. "Xiaoyan, I can't leave you. I really love you. I know it's too late to say this now, but can I be shameless again? Please give me a chance."
“…Mr. Shen, you don’t have to be like this.”
"I'm sincere. I know I was a jerk before, and I don't expect you to forgive me now. I just hope you can give me a chance to pursue you again, okay?"
Li Ziyan didn't say anything. He slowly raised his head, with doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say it out loud. "Boss Shen, I have something else to do and need to go out soon, so I won't keep you here. Please be careful on the road."
After saying that, the door was closed tightly in front of Shen Zhuoyuan.
Shen Zhuoyuan placed one hand on the door, leaned over gently, put his head on it, and whispered softly, "If you didn't refuse, I'll take it as your consent, okay? This is the last time I'll act recklessly. From now on, I'll listen to you."
"I really can't live without you. Just this once, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."
