Chapter 11 It’s OK to Have a Secret Love for Me
Seeing Yun Sui laugh, Lin Chi'an asked, "Are you still angry?"
Lin Chi'an's voice was a little low, and there was a gentleness hidden in the evening breeze.
Yun Sui looked into his eyes earnestly for a long time, so long that Lin Chi'an asked what was wrong again. Then she tilted her head and said, "You're already an adult, but you're still eating so much sweets. Be careful not to get diabetes."
Lin Chi'an raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He knew that Yun Sui had calmed down.
I got back into the car and drove towards Yun Sui's home.
There was a quiet ballad playing in the car, and the sound of Yun Sui biting a straw and drinking a smoothie.
"I met Chen Jingnian. It turns out that I misunderstood. He is not your ex-boyfriend." Lin Chi'an said.
Yun Sui let go of the straw and looked at him in confusion.
"Didn't I tell you that he's not my ex-boyfriend?"
"When did you tell me that?"
"That night..." Yun Sui stopped talking, recalling the scene of him kissing his neck in his mind, and watched his gaze move down to the place he had touched.
That night when she said Shen Jingnian was not her ex-boyfriend, Lin Chi'an was already drunk, so he had no impression of him, and that's why she dared to kiss him.
Hearing the sudden silence next to him, Lin Chi'an subconsciously turned his head and saw Yun Sui looking at him, his eyes downwards, and asked, "When?"
The smoothie touched by his fingertips was a little icy, and it froze Yunsui back to consciousness.
"I must have told you that, but you forgot."
After saying this in a panic, he shifted his gaze and continued biting the straw.
"Oh, okay." Lin Chi'an nodded gently. He probably really forgot, "Since Chen Jingnian is not your boyfriend. Then why did Zhao Lei say that you were in a relationship at that time?"
Yun Sui took a sip of the smoothie and said calmly, “I am indeed in love, but the person is not Chen Jingnian.”
Lin Chi'an's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened unconsciously, but quickly returned to normal.
Pretending to speak naturally, "Who is it? Why didn't I hear you say that later?"
Yun Sui said it fluently.
"We've only been together for less than a week, what's there to talk about?"
"Ah?" Lin Chi'an shouted in surprise.
At this time, the green light turned red and Lin Chi'an slammed on the brakes.
"Lin Chi'an, your driving skills are not good." Yun Sui said to him, holding the cup of mango smoothie tightly in his hand and almost throwing it away.
Lin Chi'an smiled brightly and spoke in a rising voice.
"Less than a week?"
"What's wrong? Do you have to laugh so happily again?"
Yunsui hummed in his heart, I don’t talk as much as you, but I’m not much shorter than you either.
Lin Chi'an suppressed his laughter and said, "Nothing."
The red light turned green, Lin Qian stepped on the accelerator and said something for no reason.
"I'm good enough."
Yun Sui grinned. It turned out that men don’t like others to say no, no matter what the issue is.
After the green light came on, Lin Chi'an pressed the accelerator and drove forward.
After they reconciled after graduation, he thought Yun Sui never mentioned her ex-boyfriend because they had been dating for a long time and loved each other too deeply that they didn't want to mention it after they broke up. So Yun Sui didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask. Lin Chi'an's relationship experience was casual and short, and he hadn't been with others for a long time. He didn't understand the weight of this kind of feelings, and he was afraid that speaking up would affect the other person's position in Yun Sui's heart and hurt himself.
It wasn't until Shen Jingnian showed up that he discovered the truth.
After getting off the car, Yun Sui closed the door and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Lin Chi'an.
"Shall I take you to work tomorrow?"
Yun Sui paused and turned around, "Lin Chi'an, do you know where my company is?"
Lin Chi'an was puzzled, but nodded, "I know."
"You still want to give it to me even though you know it? Are you free lately?"
Her house is only one subway stop away from the company, so there is nothing to send her.
The delivery will also encounter the morning rush hour.
What Li Jiabai said made her feel very uncomfortable, but Lin Chi'an did help her calm down. Along the way, she had been convincing herself that it was fine for them to be friends now, but Lin Chi'an always said things that could be misunderstood, which made her upset.
After saying that, he walked upstairs, ignoring Lin Chi'an in the car.
She thought Lin Chi'an was just joking, but when she received another message from him on the phone, Yun Sui replied seriously that he didn't need it, and then she gave up.
Lin Chi'an said he would pick her up after get off work and have dinner together.
Yun Sui looked at the message and couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he agreed.
The next morning, when she arrived at her workstation as usual, Ke Jiayi greeted her with a smile.
I don’t know if it’s because of his well-off family, but Ke Jiayi is warm and polite to others. Although his work was average when he first came, fortunately he is ambitious and eager to learn.
Yun Sui smiled and nodded as a response.
She took the documents and went to the conference room for a meeting, but when she passed the manager's office, she heard a quarrel coming from inside.
The office is surrounded by transparent glass, making it easy to see inside because the quarrel was so loud that even the sound insulation couldn't block it out.
The protagonist is Huang Yueran, who came in at the same time as her.
"Director Liu, what do you mean? I was almost done with this project, and now you're giving it to Xue Mingrui and using my achievements as a dowry for others?" Huang Yueran's voice was loud and angry, penetrating the glass and reaching outside.
Director Liu sat in his office chair and tried to appease him.
"Whether it's your project or his project, we're all in the same department, and we all need to think about the department. The most important thing is to get the project done well."
Huang Yueran laughed when she heard this. She never thought someone would say such words to her.
She said it as if all this was due to her ignorance.
"Okay, then please give me the final bonus and promotion opportunity for this project, and I must also be the person in charge in the end." Huang Yueran raised his eyebrows and said word by word.
"These are all negotiable. Once the project is completed, all of these will be yours." Director Liu began to make promises.
Obviously Huang Yueran also noticed it.
Finally, she pointed her index finger at him and said, "Okay, very good. Then I hope this project will not be completed in the end."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out, looking up to see Yun Sui standing at the door.
Yun Sui walked up to her, grabbed her wrist, and looked at her worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Huang Yueran glanced at the people who were looking up at the excitement, patted her arm gently, and tried to suppress her emotions and hold back her tears.
"fine."
After saying that, he walked out and left the office.
Yun Sui frowned as he watched her leave. He did not see her at the final project meeting.
They had joined at the same time. Back then, she was new to set design and had made many mistakes. Huang Yueran had helped her a lot, and while they were no longer working on the same project, their relationship had gradually deteriorated. But now...
She felt mixed emotions as she watched the director announce at the meeting that Huang Yueran's project would be taken over by Xue Mingrui.
I had no appetite at lunch.
Ke Jiayi looked at Yun Sui's untouched food and leaned closer to ask, "What's wrong, Sister Sui Sui?"
Yun Sui came back to his senses and shook his head lightly, "Nothing."
She planned to look for Huang Yueran during lunch break, but she didn't see her at her workstation, so she had to give up.
As lunch break was coming to an end, Yun Sui was woken up by the sound of chattering. He opened his eyes and saw Huang Yueran holding a box and packing things on his desk. Gradually, people gathered around.
It should be people from the same project who are trying to keep him, as well as some colleagues who used to work with him.
Yun Sui also walked over.
Huang Yueran saw Yun Sui coming over and asked what was wrong.
She smiled and said, "I quit."
As casual as if saying it's time to eat.
Yun Sui was slightly stunned. She was surprised at her decisiveness and disregard for consequences, and surprised at her bravery.
"We'll see each other again if we have the chance." Huang Yueran said with a smile.
Everyone responded.
She watched Huang Yueran pack up the things on her desk. She never thought that after three years here, everything could be packed into a small box.
Say goodbye to her and wave.
Yun Sui felt complicated after returning to her position. She knew how difficult it was for Huang Yueran to be in charge of this project. She found it difficult to understand why the project was transferred when there was no problem with the original project manager, and she felt disappointed.
I received a message on my phone from Huang Yueran, asking her if she was free after get off work and wanted to invite a few good friends to have dinner together.
Yun Sui remembered that Lin Chi'an had said he would pick her up for dinner in the evening, so she sent a message to Lin Chi'an, telling him that he didn't need to pick her up in the evening because she had other arrangements.
【Lin Chian: Okay, are you having dinner with others? 】
[Yun Sui: Well, a colleague I had a good relationship with is leaving, so I’m treating him to a meal.]
[Lin Chi'an: Do you need me to pick you up?]
[Yun Sui: It’s not far from the company, I can go back by myself]
【Lin Chian: OK】
After the communication, he sent another message to the flower shop owner, saying that he might need a bouquet delivery service.
The response came quickly and he asked her what kind of flowers she needed.
【Yun Sui: Phalaenopsis】
Perhaps in order to take care of the people who work there, Huang Yueran chose a restaurant not far from the company.
When Yun Sui appeared in the restaurant holding a bouquet of flowers, he found that there were not many people there, but they were all familiar people.
"Yunsui, when did you get this bouquet of flowers? It seems like we are insincere." Someone joked when they saw Yunsui coming in with flowers.
Yun Sui handed the flowers to Huang Yueran and said to her with a smile: "Time is in a hurry, this is a farewell gift."
Huang Yueran was surprised and asked with a smile what this meant.
"Phalaenopsis, happiness blooms, good luck continues."
Huang Yueran smiled and said, "Then I really need it."
Everyone laughed out loud.
Someone asked Huang Yueran why she chose to resign, even if this project was given to someone else, there were other better projects.
Huang Yueran seemed to be quite open-minded and said calmly, "My parents have always told me that feeling is important in everything I do. This is the first time my achievements have been taken away so easily by someone else. It's a very uncomfortable feeling."
Someone nodded, expressing understanding, and said to the person who first asked the question, "This hasn't happened to you yet. When your project results are taken away by others, you will understand."
"It's better not to understand."
Everyone laughed again.
Huang Yueran continued, "When I heard what Director Liu said, I knew he was just making empty promises. I'm really annoyed by the thought of having to work with someone like him in the future."
"But why did you give your project to Xue Rui?"
The person who asked this question was not in the same department as them, and the others just looked at each other.
"Xue Mingrui is the director's relative."
This is no secret.
Before the food was served, Huang Yueran poured tea for everyone.
"Thank you all for coming to this farewell dinner with me. I hope you won't encounter something like me in Kaesong."
Then a few auspicious words were said and the atmosphere became lively again.
Yun Sui looked at Huang Yueran and thought to himself, if Huang Yueran's project could be like this, what about hers? If she faced this kind of problem, would she be able to protect her own achievements?
At the end of the meal, no one mentioned Huang Yueran's resignation, as if it was just an ordinary after-get off work dinner.
When I think about it, I don’t know when we will meet again, and I feel a little sad about the fragility of the encounters between people.
She thought of Lin Chi'an. If she had not come to Beicheng to study, would the fate between them have ended that summer vacation? And the subsequent opportunities to spend time together were only sought by her deliberately.
That's why he didn't like her.
Huang Yueran paid for the meal. Everyone said it was not necessary, but she smiled and said, "If we agreed to treat you, then I will definitely treat you."
Everyone slowly walked forward and hugged her, because they knew that it would be difficult to see her again after they no longer worked in the same company.
After they parted, Yun Sui and Huang Yueran walked together for a while because their homes were on the same route.
"Sui Sui, I want to tell you something in secret." Huang Yueran suddenly spoke.
Yun Sui looked at her with a little doubt.
"Actually, I resigned because I received an offer from another company." Huang Yueran held the flowers in one hand and rubbed her full stomach with the other. "I originally wanted to finish this project and then resign. It would be a perfect ending for myself in Kaesong, but I didn't expect it to end like this. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed."
After learning that the project was going to be snatched away, she tried to fight for it, but it was useless. Finally, she had no choice but to go to the director's office and have a big fight before the regular meeting on Monday.
Yun Sui patted her shoulder and nodded.
“Everyone would be disappointed.”
Thinking of something, he continued, "How are the benefits at the new company?"
Huang Yueran smiled and said, "Anyway, it's higher than Kaesong."
Yun Sui nodded: "Then the salary should be very considerable."
"When you can no longer stay in Kaesong, come to me."
Yun Sui joked, "Don't curse me."
Huang Yueran looked at Yunsui. They came in at the same time. The feelings they had at that time were very pure. She knew that Yunsui was loyal and righteous. They had a good relationship at the beginning, but later they were not in the same project and everyone was busy. They had less time to spend together and gradually became estranged. But she was still very grateful to have met Yunsui in Kaesong.
