Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Let’s get to know each other again.
From childhood to adulthood, Si Tu has indeed been successful in everything he does.
The only thing he can't do anything about is that his parents have no affection for each other, so they treat him coldly and he can't feel the warmth of a normal family.
Qin Mian was the second thing in his life that made him feel powerless.
He had never taken someone so seriously before and tried so hard to get into her heart, but in the end, he still didn't get what he wanted.
Frustration, deep frustration made him feel powerless.
Qin Mian felt bad when he heard him say this on the other end of the phone.
Because she lied to him that she would give birth to his child, and after he exposed her, his attitude became very cold. She thought that she had broken his heart this time and he would no longer have any attachment to her.
When she was about to leave, he let her go smoothly. She thought that this was the end of their relationship, that they would never have any more interactions, and that they would just be strangers from now on.
But she didn't expect that Si Tu would call her tonight.
She knew Si Tu liked her, but she thought it was more of lust.
He came back from abroad alone, and his father was busy dating his mistress. He was lonely and needed company.
And she just happened to be in his eyes.
So, he treated her as the one who could accompany him.
And it seems impossible to say how deep this kind of love is.
Finally we parted ways, and I just changed to another one.
But it wasn't until today that she realized that she seemed to have underestimated Si Tu's feelings for her.
Perhaps his attitude towards her was not as superficial as she understood.
After all, given his conditions, it would be very easy for him to change his female companion, and she was not his only option.
When a person has no ability, he only clings to one thing, which does not necessarily mean that it is what he really wants. After all, he has no choice.
Only when faced with many choices, he still wants to choose this one, perhaps it can prove that this is indeed what he really wants in his heart.
Qin Mian was almost moved, with mixed feelings, and remained silent for a long time.
It lasted so long that Si Tu fell asleep and slipped from the center island to the ground, and his phone fell from top to bottom, making a sound along the way.
"Si Tu?" Qin Mian heard something unusual and repeatedly checked with him, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
She knew from his voice that he was probably drunk. In this case...
She was really worried, her heart was pounding so hard that she felt like she was about to suffocate.
I can’t care less.
Even though she had wanted to separate from him completely, now that she heard he was in danger, she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
She quickly got up from the bed, changed into her going-out clothes, called the driver who was responsible for picking up Si Tu to confirm that he had finally sent him home, then took a taxi and rushed to his residence.
The car she drove before was allocated to her by Si Tu in the name of the company. After she resigned, she returned it to the company.
Autumn has arrived in Nanzhou in November, and it is very cool at night.
But Qin Mian was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.
After getting off the car, she quickly ran into the community, got into the elevator, ran out, and quickly verified her fingerprint to enter.
She was sweating profusely, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and finally she found Si Tu on the ground next to the island in the cloakroom.
After confirming that he was just drunk and not unconscious for any other reason, Qin Mian wanted to move him to the bed in the bedroom to sleep.
But he was really too drunk and unconscious, lying like a pile of mud. He was also so big that Qin Mian really couldn't move him at all.
In the end, I could only find a pillow to cushion his head, and then a blanket to cover him. I wiped his face with a towel, gave him some water, and couldn't help but kiss him.
The main reason she came here was to confirm Si Tu's safety. Now that she was sure he was not in danger, she felt relieved.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood up to leave.
**
Qin Mian returned to his residence, took a shower, changed into pajamas, and lay down at two in the morning.
Tired from all the tossing and turning, she fell asleep.
She slept well that night, but she suffered from insomnia for several days afterwards.
In the past, I suffered from insomnia because I couldn’t see the future and was extremely anxious, but now…
She suddenly realized that when she lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her mind was full of Si Tu.
Even her body would react accordingly.
She...missed him very much.
Thinking in various senses, thinking with the body and thinking with the mind.
Later on, it even became so serious that every detail of his making love with her seemed to be played out one after another in her senses.
His panting, his weight, and his sweet words and embarrassingly flirtatious remarks.
She had always thought that he had no sense of shame. When he played around, his various actions and words aroused her to the point where she couldn't bear it.
She had always felt that she had little desire.
Later, after playing with him more often, she found that she seemed to have not experienced happiness before.
Especially now, she sees more and more clearly that her desires are actually quite strong.
Especially the desire for him is particularly strong.
It's not that she doesn't meet handsome guys when she goes out to work, but she has no desire to get to know them, let alone any impulse in that regard. But at night, lying in bed, she can't help but think about him over and over again in her mind.
It seems that this desire also varies from person to person.
She had thought before that after the breakup, she couldn't be alone for the rest of her life, so she planned to find another boyfriend.
But how can she find it now?
The more she thought about him, the less interested she became in other men.
She would probably unconsciously compare him with others, but she couldn't go back to Si Tu just because of something like this.
So the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the more uncomfortable she felt, the more she couldn't sleep.
In the end, it even affected my work during the day.
The Artificial Intelligence Experience Hall was already under renovation. Qin Mian went to monitor the project during the day. That afternoon, Qi Xin and Jiang Xin also made an appointment to come over and take a look.
Seeing that she looked much more haggard, Qi Xin asked, "What happened to you?"
"Are you tired?" Jiang Xin also asked.
Qin Mian shook his head, not feeling tired at all.
"You look so listless, how about a cup of coffee to perk yourself up?" Qi Xin put his arm around her shoulder. "It's my treat."
It was almost time to watch over here, so Qin Mian said okay and went out with the two of them.
There was a nice coffee shop nearby. The three of them ordered their favorite drinks and two snacks. While waiting, Qin Mian propped up his head and rubbed his temples with his fingers. He closed his eyes, feeling drowsy and could hardly open them.
"No..." Qi Xin saw that she was in such a bad state, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, you..." Jiang Xin looked at her worriedly, and after looking at her carefully, he found that dark circles were faintly visible under her eyes.
Qin Mian even put on makeup to cover it up, but it was still visible.
"Didn't you sleep well?" Qi Xin looked at her closely and found something.
Qin Mian opened his eyes, his eyelids felt heavy.
She didn't hide it from them, so as not to worry them, "I do have some insomnia."
"Just a little?" Jiang Xin looked at the dark circles under her eyes again and again.
The waiter brought the coffee. Qin Mian reached out and took a sip of her own cup. It was very bitter, which immediately cheered her up.
"It's quite serious." She stopped trying to be brave and took another sip.
"You're not..." Qi Xin said something shocking, but also hit the nail on the head, "You're thinking about what Si Tu is thinking about, right?"
Qin Mian almost choked on his coffee.
Although she didn't want to worry them and told them the truth about her insomnia, she didn't want them to know the reason for her insomnia because it was too embarrassing.
Jiang Xin immediately tore off a piece of paper and handed it to her.
Qin Mian wiped his mouth and thanked her.
Seeing her reaction, Qi Xin knew it was almost the same. He felt both sympathy and amusement. "How about I recommend a Chinese medicine doctor to you and ask him to prescribe some medicine for you to take care of your condition."
After suffering from insomnia for several days, which was even worse than before, Qin Mian felt increasingly weaker and was really worried that he would die suddenly if this continued, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, thank you."
Qi Xin picked up the phone and pushed the business card to her.
It was too late that day, so Qin Mian could only find another time.
When he returned to his residence at night, Qin Mian was still tossing and turning, suffering from severe insomnia.
She wanted to solve the problem herself and help her sleep, but for some reason, the feeling became particularly dull, and she even became more hot and unbearable because she could not be satisfied.
It's like a big hole has been broken, and the desire is hard to fill.
She finally understood how Si Tu felt when she asked him to solve the problem himself and he said that it was not as interesting as her.
Once you have had a better experience, other methods will seem a bit inferior.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
The next day, Qin Mian had to go to Chen Muzhou's company to sign the product authorization letter, so he had to put on heavy makeup to cover up his tired look.
After she arrived at Chen Muzhou's company, she met the product manager. When she was heading to the signing meeting room, she suddenly ran into Si Tu in the corridor.
He walked with Shen Muzhou.
The two are good friends, and Si Tu is interested in artificial intelligence and has some investments, so it is not surprising that he would appear here.
However, when their eyes met, they were instantly connected, and the other people around them seemed to turn into transparent objects.
Seeing that the two of them were staring at each other, as if the wifi was automatically connected, Shen Muzhou couldn't help but smile secretly.
It would be strange if two people like this could separate.
Obviously, both of them love each other very much, don't they?
Even he, a spectator, felt so.
Only after they got closer and the product manager greeted the two presidents did Qin Mian come to his senses, avert his gaze, and nod to the two of them.
After the two parties staggered, they each walked forward for a while. Shen Muzhou and Si Tu stood in front of the elevator waiting and said, "Miss Qin seems a little haggard, wearing such heavy makeup... Do you think she missed you too much?"
He turned his head and smiled at Si Tu.
Of course, he had heard Jiang Xin talk about it before, but Jiang Xin and Qi Xin only guessed that Qin Mian might be thinking about Si Tu, and she did not admit it herself.
Si Tu turned his head and looked at Qin Mian's back.
He was silent for a moment.
Of course, he could see any changes in Qin Mian more clearly than Shen Muzhou.
But……
Is her change and her haggardness really because of him?
He never felt that Qin Mian had fallen in love with him, so how could she become haggard because of him?
She has been preparing for the experience center recently and must be tired.
But then he thought about it, when he woke up drunk that day, he found that although he was lying on the ground, there was a blanket on him and even a pillow under his head.
He later asked the housekeeper to check the surveillance footage and discovered that it was actually Qin Mian who had returned.
He kept looking at her anxious look and felt that she might not have no feelings for him at all.
But no matter what, no matter whether she loved him or not, he felt particularly distressed when he saw her so haggard.
and……
He has another plan.
Ding~The elevator is here.
Si Tu came back to his senses and stepped inside. He was going to change his strategy of getting along with Qin Mian.
**
Qin Mian and the product manager signed more than a dozen product authorization documents, and the legal advisor was also present.
After signing, the product manager suggested treating her to a simple meal at the company.
Technology research and development companies like theirs have their own factories and canteens.
They would be frequent partners in the future, and Qin Mian really wanted to go for a walk, so he followed the product manager.
As a result, he met Si Tu and Shen Muzhou again in the open space near the cafeteria.
Jiang Xin also came to pick up her husband from get off work. As the sun set, she was holding Shen Muzhou's hand.
"Oh." Jiang Xin rolled his eyes, his gaze wandering between Qin Mian and Si Tu. "Since we've met, let's eat together."
"Yes, together." Shen Muzhou followed her husband's lead and raised her hand, making a gesture of invitation.
The product manager was his employee, so he would definitely do as he said. He immediately said to Qin Mian, "Then Miss Qin..."
There was basically no room for maneuver after this, and I was just asking her out of politeness.
It’s not that Qin Mian can’t sit at the same table with Si Tu to eat, it’s just that she would feel a little uncomfortable. But at the moment, she can’t let everyone else accept her alone.
So, she curled her lips and said okay.
Si Tu remained silent throughout the whole process, tacitly agreeing with the actions of the Shen couple.
Afterwards, the group sat down in a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.
In order to avoid awkward silences, the product manager would occasionally raise some questions with Qin Mian, while Chen Muzhou and Si Tu would talk about other things and occasionally join in their conversation.
After all, there is cooperation, so there are still common topics.
But now Si Tu and her are neither in a boss-employee relationship nor a cooperative relationship, and they don't know what to talk about.
So throughout the whole process, only these two people didn't say a word to each other.
This made the Shen couple anxious.
When they finally left, Jiang Xin even deliberately mentioned, "Boss Qin, shall we take you back?"
She said this deliberately for Si Tu to hear, and glanced at him after she finished speaking.
But before Si Tu could respond, Qin Mian refused and said, "I'll take a taxi. It's very convenient."
Afterwards, the group walked towards the parking lot, and Qin Mian walked out of the park.
Just as I walked to the door and was about to call a taxi on my phone, four wheels suddenly stopped in front of me.
Qin Mian subconsciously looked up and saw Si Tu's familiar yellow Lamborghini parked in front of him.
The driver's window rolled down, and Si Tu's handsome face appeared in the car. He turned his head, looked at her, and asked, "Boss Qin, can you give me a chance?"
Qin Mian:?
She stared at him blankly, not knowing what he meant.
Si Tu curled his lips and got out of the car.
"I'm sorry for being with you in that way, so I thought..." Si Tu closed the car door behind him, walked towards her, and extended his hand to her, "Can we get to know each other again?"
"Let's just pretend this is our first meeting. My name is Si Tu, the president of SC Group. I fell in love with President Qin at first sight and I really want to pursue you." Si Tu looked at her sincerely, his hand stretched out towards her. "I wonder if I'll have the chance to take President Qin home tonight."
