Zhou Yunwan took a deep breath, looked at him and asked, "Is it because when we were together, I told you to keep our relationship a secret and not tell anyone else, so you are so stubborn and don't tell anyone?"
When she thought that it was because of this reason that he was willing to endure so much suspicion and grievance, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Seeing her eyes dimmed a little, Shen Yanli felt a little pain in his heart. He didn't care that there were other people around him. He held her hand again, looked at her without blinking, and whispered softly: "It's not entirely because of this."
"Since it is an agreement with you, I will not break it easily, but I am not a person who cannot adapt. When the time comes, I will be honest."
"Besides, the current situation is not that serious. It is impossible for the other party to provide substantial evidence for something I have not done. Since there is no evidence, even if the higher-ups investigate, they will not be able to find out anything."
"I've estimated the consequences, and they're not particularly serious, so I didn't intend to involve you."
This was also the reason why he had been holding back from going back these days. He was afraid that once he went back, if he revealed any flaws and she noticed them, it would be difficult not to drag her into this mess.
After hearing what he said, Zhou Yunwan knew in her heart that he was doing this for her own good, but she still couldn't help but glared at him in complaint: "We are a couple, and we should stand together when encountering problems. When you got into trouble, the first thing you thought of was not to tell me, and then we could solve it together, but you chose to hide it from me and get me out?"
“Chen Yanli, do you consider me as your partner?”
...
...
There was a hint of anger in her tone as she spoke. It would have been fine if he didn't tell her, but there had been no news for half a month, and he hadn't even shown up in front of her or anything, even a phone call would have been fine.
But he didn't. He just kept her in the dark and let her let her imagination run wild.
When Zhou Yunwan got angry, she didn't care about anything else and cursed without restraint: "You don't know how sad and upset I am because of your sudden neglect. I can't sleep well, I can't eat well, and I can only think about you all day long."
"I wondered if you were going to break up with me, and if something had happened to you... You really are an asshole!"
As she cursed, her eyes started to turn red.
I really don’t know whether he kept it a secret from her alone or from everyone else in the family. If he kept it a secret from her alone, then that would be a crime that is even more despicable and extremely hateful!
"How could I possibly break up with you? I..." Shen Yanli choked on his words, squeezed her palm hard, and apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry Wanwan, it's all my fault, I didn't think it through."
Zhou Yunwan didn't want to pay attention to him, and subconsciously pushed his hand away. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, not noticing that the back of his hand turned red in an instant after being hit by her.
The latter didn't care and continued to coax her in a low voice.
The crowd who were caught off guard and fed several mouthfuls of dog food said: "..."
However, this also indirectly proves that the relationship between the young couple is very good. Chen Yanli, who is like a high-class flower on weekdays, is actually the type who is obedient in front of her partner?
Someone thought of something and turned his head to look at Li Jinning beside him, and saw her standing there with a pale face.
Most people in the institute thought that Li Jinning and Shen Yanli were secretly dating. After all, the two had known each other for so many years, and Li Jinning was very attentive and caring towards Shen Yanli. There were also rumors that the two had met their parents...
I didn't expect that Chen Yanli's partner was actually someone else, and he had nothing to do with Li Jinning. If he did, it would be impossible for Chen Yanli to show his affection in front of Li Jinning so naturally.
"Cough cough." Yu Liwei couldn't help but put his fist to his lips and coughed twice.
When Zhou Yunwan heard the cough, she realized belatedly that there were so many people around. She was so angry that she openly got angry with Shen Yanli, and her cheeks turned red immediately.
Feeling the warmth coming from the back of her hand again, Zhou Yunwan hurriedly pulled her hand out of Shen Yanli's palm, smiled awkwardly, and then lowered her head, not daring to look at the expressions of the crowd.
It's so embarrassing.
It’s all Shen Yanli’s fault, it’s all his fault.
Zhou Yunwan silently charged Shen Yanli with another crime in her heart.
After a few moments of silence, she straightened her expression and spoke again, "Do you have any other questions, leaders?"
As a technical talent in the research institute, Chen Yanli is highly valued. Because of malicious reports from others, not only has his reputation been damaged, but he has also been suspended from his job these days. No matter what, the research institute has to give an explanation, right?
Yu Liwei received a look from the director, and raised his voice and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. We have basically understood the situation. Now we can preliminarily confirm that Comrade Shen Yanli was wrongly accused."
"Comrade Shen Yanli will be able to resume his duties tomorrow. As for the anonymous whistleblower, we will try to find him. If we fail to find him in the end, we will also give Comrade Shen Yanli appropriate compensation."
As expected of a leader, he was very careful with his words. Zhou Yunwan and Shen Yanli had nothing to say.
"Then we'll go back first. Sorry for disturbing you today."
The two sides exchanged a few more polite words, and Shen Yanli whispered to Zhou Yunwan: "Wanwan, you wait for me at home, I'll go see the leader off."
Zhou Yunwan looked at his cautious look and nodded in agreement.
Watching them leave, Zhou Yunwan happened to meet Li Jinning's gaze looking back at her, which contained a variety of complicated emotions. Zhou Yunwan did not avoid it, but met her gaze straight ahead.
Now that her relationship with Shen Yanli has been made public, she should be generous and natural when acting like a real girlfriend.
Li Jinning's face turned even darker, no wonder Zhou Yunwan spoke to her like that in the corridor just now, it turned out that she was really the object of Shen Yanli's attention!
She couldn't help but wonder when they got together, was it before going to the Northeastern Research Institute, or after that? If it was after that, wouldn't the phone call she answered and the lie she told have invisibly given the two of them the opportunity to strengthen their relationship?
No wonder Chen Yanli returned to Beijing City ahead of schedule, no wonder he completely drew a line between himself and her after that, it turned out that Zhou Yunwan had said bad things about her behind her back, and she felt a little breathless when she thought of Chen Yanli coaxing Zhou Yunwan in a humble manner like he did just now.
The Shen Yanli in her impression was not of this kind of personality.
All because of Zhou Yunwan, he changed so much that she couldn't recognize him anymore.
Thinking of this, Li Jinning pinched her fingertips hard, and under Yu Liwei's urging, she had to speed up and catch up.
Zhou Yunwan didn't care at all what Li Jinning was thinking. After watching the two of them leave, she went into the house and closed the door.
She glanced at the mess on the table, and since she had nothing else to do, she cleaned it up and put the chair back in its place.
After doing all this, Shen Yanli also came back.
