Ling City.
The resort is located in a valley-like terrain, and the newly built hotel is located near the valley. The construction project was suspended for several months due to the earthquake.
It was not until today that work resumed smoothly.
In fact, as early as more than half a year ago, the earthquake repair work in Ling City had been completed very well, but it had to go through many levels and processes, and each project team needed to conduct on-site inspections.
Now, the arrival of Chen He and Yan Yongwang is equivalent to the last step.
On Christmas Day, December 25th, the two drove to the location, inspected it, and signed the relevant documents.
The next day, work resumed smoothly.
…
Sitting in the car, the manager looked at the long-lost boss and secretary, and said respectfully, "Boss, Secretary Shen, the restaurant has been booked."
Chen He nodded and said okay.
I had dinner with the project-related personnel, and rarely drank alcohol. It seemed that the people present had inquired about Yan Yongwang's preferences, so they only served one bottle of wine, and did not urge him to drink. If he wanted to drink, he could just pour it himself.
After eating and drinking, everyone went their separate ways.
Yan Yongwang received a call from Chao Lingxi.
He picked up.
"What's wrong?"
"Where are you now?"
"Ling City, XX Road."
"..." Chao Lingxi was silent for a while, then whispered, "Going on a business trip, right?"
Chen He gave him a puzzled look, and Yan Yongwang raised his hand to signal him to slow down and concentrate on answering the phone.
"Yes," Yan Yongwang replied, "What do you want?"
Chen He lip-synced: Who is it?
Yan Yongwang didn't have time to answer him, so he just asked: "What happened?"
Because of the stern face and cold tone when speaking, it sounded like a question. Shen He frowned, and stood there uneasily, with his toes slightly touching the ground. The person who was having dinner with them in front of the corridor saw them stop and asked loudly: "Boss Yan, Secretary Shen, what's wrong?"
Chen He raised his hand, without turning around, and waved it, indicating that they should leave first.
Yan Yongwang only heard a low laugh from Chao Lingxi: "Nothing, I just want to chat with you."
"Is it snowing in the capital?"
"……Um."
"I forgot to say Merry Christmas to you." Yan Yongwang relaxed his brows and whispered. Chao Lingxi also accepted it. He said gently: "Although I don't celebrate Christmas, I am still very happy to receive your blessings."
"Strictly."
This was the first time he called him like this.
In the past, Chao Lingxi always felt that boys could not shout with repeated tones, but girls could.
So, when she called Yan Yongwang, she was always serious, sometimes calling her full name, sometimes calling her just her given name; but when it was time for Chao Juan, she would sweetly call her "Juan Juan" or "daughter".
The difference between men and women is obvious, but Yan Yongwang doesn't care much.
When he was a child, Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan always liked to call him "Yan Yan", "baby" and "sweetheart".
After they left, no one shouted like that again.
This is the first time, after four years, that the "Spring City" in December is cold and snowy.
The weather is still a bit warm, far away from the capital city which is snowing.
Yan Yongwang heard Chao Lingxi and called him "Yan Yan" softly.
His right eyelid twitched slightly.
"Um?"
Yan Yongwang responded in a low voice, "Why? Calling me?"
He smiled at Lingxi: "I just suddenly miss it."
“It’s very strange,” he said.
"Okay, okay," Chao Lingxi said, "Don't yell like that next time."
When Yan Yongwang heard "next time", he felt slightly relieved. He said, "I don't know why, but your call makes me feel a little uneasy."
"It always feels like something bad is going to happen."
"No, only good things will happen to you, and nothing bad will ever happen to you."
Chao Lingxi said with great certainty.
"..." Yan Yongwang lowered his eyes, "So? I'm dead?"
"Um."
"It's cold, wear more clothes." Even though he knew Chao Lingxi didn't need such care, Yan Yongwang still said it.
Chao Lingxi accepted all of them.
"OK."
"goodbye."
Chen He wondered blankly: Who on earth is the boss talking to on the phone?
This? The tone is so intimate, it doesn't seem like just ordinary friendship.
But if we say it is "morning fatigue", it doesn't feel like it, because the conversation could obviously be more intimate and in-depth.
As a bystander, he could only feel these.
Yan Yongwang had no intention of responding. After he hung up the phone, he was silent for two moments and then fell into deep thought.
Chen He didn't dare to ask any more questions.
…
Yan Yong was thinking about something.
He felt that Chao Lingxi seemed a little strange recently.
The strange thing is that he is particularly attached to him, with that kind of clinging feeling that he never had before.
Today's call is not an exception. Similar situations also occurred in the past two days.
It seemed as if he couldn't express his love for him over the phone. He wanted to say a few more words, but for some reason, he seemed unable to continue.
secret.
Hidden in Chao Lingxi's mouth.
He couldn't get it by force, and could only speculate and ponder from various details, wondering if something bad would happen.
So, what exactly happened that made Chao Lingxi always miss him and call him from time to time to ask about his recent situation?
...Yan Yongwang didn't understand. After he hung up the phone, he was silent for a moment before he said to Shen He, "It's snowing in the capital, right?"
Shen He: "Yes, it snowed heavily today."
"My colleagues took photos of it and posted it in the company group."
Yan Yongwang seldom looked at that company group. He opened it only after listening to it.
Click on the video.
It was a rare heavy snow, and snowflakes were flying everywhere, covering the buildings.
It was like the building was wearing a layer of snow-white armor.
The accompaniment is a light rhythm that you can choose when shooting on WeChat.
Yan Yongwang turned off the video, his face was indifferent, and he said, "Let's go back to the hotel."
After returning home and finishing what he had to do, Yan Yongwang searched on the search engine software:
[What does depression look like?]
[Is winter a season prone to depression?]
…
Looking down from a high-rise building in the capital, Chao Lingxi could only see that it was snowing in the world.
The snow was very thick and very white.
It's like covering up all the filth with pure white.
His face was pale and he lowered his eyes to calculate the time since he came to this world.
From last year to now? Hundreds of days have passed.
The hundreds of days spent with Yan Yongwang.
He felt pain filling his chest, his bones tightened, and his spirit blood roared.
This world is rejecting his existence - just like Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan, who left this world in a "plane crash".
What is different from him is that Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan came to this world with all their magical powers sealed.
Equivalent to a mortal.
Only then can he lay the foundation in this world and build a "Yan Empire", laying the cornerstone for Yan Yongwang's future.
However, after too long, the sealed supernatural power slowly loosened. Once it loosened, it meant that the world had sensed something was wrong.
Strange? The world reacted.
People who do not belong to this world will be "ejected" from this world once they are discovered.
He came in a hurry and didn't even seal his supernatural powers. It took a lot of effort for him to survive until now.
The girl once asked him, as a "Mahayana monk", didn't he have any magical powers?
His answer was that he had been sick before, so it wasn't that serious.
Not lying, but besides that, there is a reason why he exists in this world.
At every moment, I use the energy in my body to fight against the rejection of the world.
For hundreds of days, he could feel that the world was angry, angry at his coming and his approach.
He laughed sarcastically at Lingxi and muttered to himself in the air: "You took away my treasure, and you dare to be angry with me?"
The snow is falling harder.
A cold light flashed in his dark eyes, as red as blood, and quickly faded away.
Chao Lingxi felt his solar plexus throbbing and aching. He was very tolerant of the pain. Even when it hurt, as long as he thought of Yan Yongwang, he felt that it was no big deal.
Time is running out.
He thought.
He raised his fingertips toward Lingxi and paused in the air. The thick snow clouds above the apartment building suddenly dispersed, and a ray of sunlight fell down.
He thought to himself that he had to avert all crises in the final moments.
…
December 29th.
Yan Yongwang received an invitation letter from a business partner.
The invitation letter is nothing big. If Yan Yongwang is not free, he will often not go in person, but will ask other vice presidents to go.
But this time it was a little different? He received two invitations.
One for "Chao Juan" and one for "Yan Yongwang".
It turned out that the company under Chao Juan's name also had contact with this business partner - it was really no wonder that Yan Yongwang didn't know. Although he accepted those properties in the name of Chao Juan, most of the company's matters, big and small, were still handled by the reliable managers hired over the years.
The company is developing stably and "Chao Juan" only needs to read the annual report regularly.
Too much money is also a burden for him.
Yan Yongwang already has too many assets on hand. He usually has no time to take care of his own work, so he can only take a quick look at the company under Chao Juan's name.
There are many opinions about Chao Juan's company. Previously, there were paparazzi who waited downstairs of Chao Juan's company and met the person in charge. They learned from the person in charge that the boss actually "did not come to the company to work very often", but this was not important.
Because they all serve the boss.
Salaries and bonuses all depend on the company's profits, so naturally they do their best.
The paparazzi couldn't get ahold of Chao Juan herself, so they could only regretfully report that Chao Juan was not in the company. They also lamented that she was really capable and the person she chose was very capable in making money for her.
No one would think that this was not her ability.
As a boss, it is enough to choose a suitable and excellent leader to lead the company's development.
Invitation letters from business partners were sent to both of them.
Yan Yongwang stared at the two invitations and thought: Could he not attend either of them?
The most comfortable thing is not to participate, you don’t have to worry about anything.
However, it's just a thought.
Because soon, Chao Juan's contact number was called, and the manager who had never been in touch with him asked nervously: "Boss, have you received XXX's invitation letter?"
"received."
"It's like this. We currently have a project on hand that requires cooperation with Mr. XX, so we need you to attend this cocktail party..."
What this means is that they tried their best to make the deal, and as the big boss, Chao Juan only needed to show up at the cocktail party.
This request is not difficult.
Yan Yongwang agreed.
So, he naturally refused to attend the cocktail party under the identity of "Yan Yongwang".
Vice President Sun and Secretary Shen attended on behalf of Yan.
==
At the party, Chao Juan's presence attracted a lot of attention, but because of the scandal between her and Yan Yongwang, few people dared to approach her.
As soon as the person who tries to strike up a conversation makes a move, his friends will remind him: "She is Yan Yongwang's girlfriend." Even so, do you still have the courage to approach her and talk to her? Do you want her contact information?
The organizer of this cocktail party was a real estate developer in the capital. When he saw Chao Juan coming, he asked for a group photo and posted it on his circle of friends.
This photo is very beautiful - or rather, the beauties are beautiful enough.
She has black hair, white skin, brown-gray eyes, and no expression on her face in the photo, looking quite cool.
She is a very beautiful lady.
It is that kind of charm that makes people's heart beat.
And when she stands there, people will inexplicably wonder what the scene would be like if Yan Yongwang was also here and the two of them came here together.
So someone asked: "Didn't you invite the Yan family as well?"
"Why didn't President Yan show up with Miss Chao Juan?"
"Yes, only Mr. Sun and Secretary Shen from their company are here."
"Go over and ask?"
The bolder ones have already gone over, holding up their wine glasses, and bluntly asked why Yan Yongwang didn't come.
Vice President Sun is a very honest person. He really doesn't understand the inside story. President Yan asked him to come, so he came.
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Shen He, who was standing next to him, and Secretary Shen, who often followed Yan Yongwang, seemed to know, but in front of outsiders, he only said: "Boss Yan has something to do, so he didn't come."
After everyone left, Vice President Sun asked quietly: "Chen He, is Mr. Yan really busy?" He had also heard about his and Chao Juan's pink romance, so he was very curious, why couldn't the two of them come together?
Chen He: "I really don't know, the boss probably has his considerations."
It was only when Vice President Sun was dragged away by someone that his face fell.
For a moment, I had the same question as many netizens: Why are they never in the same frame?
He could understand why his boss refused to come, because not every invitation required his personal presence.
President Yan's time is very precious. How can he waste it casually at a cocktail party like this?
Even though a lot of business could be done at a cocktail party, as everyone knew that Yan Yongwang didn't like to drink, few people would use a cocktail party to discuss business.
When discussing business, it should be done seriously and not always in such occasions.
——The above is the conclusion that Chen He came to after figuring out his boss’s psychology.
There are very valid reasons for not participating.
But when he saw Chao Juan in the venue, he felt something was a little strange.
Wouldn’t normal couples in love try to attend events together?
Just like campus lovers in college, sometimes we go to an elective class together, sometimes we go to the library together...
If we can be together, we should be together.
This is the love of young people, sticky and always willing to be together.
But Yan Yongwang and Chao Juan seemed to be very reluctant to show their intimacy with each other in public.
Yan Yongwang only said one ambiguous statement in the interview video.
Of course, there was also a necklace given away.
However, Chao Juan has never accepted any interviews and is willing to disclose her relationship with Yan Yongwang.
Of course, she had mentioned it in front of her acquaintances that she and Yan Yongwang were indeed a couple.
But these... are too little.
So few that the ambiguous details are sporadic and pitiful.
But to say the details aren't sweet is impossible.
The "Flower of Lovis" alone is enough for the media and marketing accounts to talk about for ten days or half a month.
There is a rather incorrect view of love values that goes something like this.
The more a man is willing to spend money on a woman, the more he cares about her.
This sentence may seem a bit materialistic, but from a man's perspective, it is indeed true. If a man is unwilling to spend money on a woman in a relationship, it definitely means that he does not care about the woman.
Of course, even if a man is willing to spend money on a woman, it does not mean that he necessarily loves her deeply.
But it is certain that those who are unwilling to spend money love the other person less than those who are willing to spend money.
Netizens agree with this view.
I also think it is extremely sweet that Yan Yongwang is willing to give the "Flower of Loves".
…
As sweet as it is, the question remains: Why does the boss never appear in the same frame with Chao Juan?
Scratching his head in confusion.
Finally, Chen He plucked up his courage, walked up to Chao Juan, and bravely asked this question.
"Miss Chao."
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
Her voice was cool and her eyes were restrained and polite when she looked at people.
Judging from her dress, she is undoubtedly the "most beautiful woman in this venue".
Chen He hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's like this, I have an unwelcome request, I want you to answer it."
"You say." She seemed to be in a good mood.
Chen He then plucked up his courage and said, "That's right? The boss also received the invitation letter."
He noticed that Chao Juan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
To indicate yourself? I know.
"But he didn't come."
"You guys...seem like you never want to appear in a certain situation?"
"Why is that?"
Chen He spoke these words intermittently, and Chao Juan did not try to interrupt him. She listened carefully and attentively, then remained silent for a moment, opened her lips and responded.
"I don't like it."
Chen He was stunned: "Yeah?"
He heard Chao Juan's very clear answer: "Because I don't like it."
Chen He's heart sank. At this moment, he thought that their relationship had improved. Was it just his illusion?
He hoped not, but Chao Juan's answer once again shattered Chen He's confidence.
"I don't like to appear in the same situation with him."
"Why?" Chen He asked her confusedly after being stunned for a few seconds.
He didn't expect an answer, but Chao Juan was willing. She said, "Because this relationship won't last long."
Chen He was frightened by this sentence.
Chao Juan met his eyes very seriously.
She had a pair of brown-gray peach blossom eyes. When she smiled, she was very beautiful. But when she didn't smile, she had a cold and indifferent look in her eyes, like an iceberg.
She is very similar to Yan Yongwang, but she is much more ruthless than Yan Yongwang.
She said softly, "There is no need to show a relationship that won't last to the end in front of others."
Chen He: "..."
"Do you think what I said is wrong?" After she said this, she pursed her lips and smiled gently.
Chen He had a wooden face, not knowing how to respond. He stammered for a long time: "I, I am very optimistic about your relationship..." She had even admitted her relationship with Yan Yongwang in front of others before. Why did she change her attitude like this now?
Chen He will never know that this is just Yan Yongwang's advance preparation to make their relationship have a reasonable division. By the way, it can also explain why they have doubts from different frames.
It is difficult for Yan Yongwang himself to confess the fact of their breakup, because according to Chenhe's logical chain, Yan Yongwang was the initiator of forced love, and it is difficult for him to let go.
But Chao Juanxing, if you look at it from her perspective, if she doesn't want to be with him, then she has a reasonable reason to break up.
Yan Yongwang, in the identity of Chao Juan, gave Chen He a shot of vaccination in advance.
"He loves you very much..."
Chao Juan was stunned for a moment, as if he was very surprised by his answer, and then he smiled again.
It was hard to tell the meaning of this smile, because Shen He really didn't understand it.
He just felt that the next words coming out of Chao Juan's mouth would probably not sound very good.
“That’s not necessary.”
"There's really no need to elevate the relationship between him and me to this level," Chao Juan said, and then smiled, "This is a relationship that will never last."
“Secret Shen, you have to be mentally prepared.”
Finally, she gave him a meaningful look.
Chen He felt that under her gaze at that moment, his spine went cold and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
It was not until a long time later that he recalled what he felt at that moment.
——After being with Yan Yongwang for too long, she actually had a similar intimidating look to Yan Yongwang. That glance, lightly sweeping over him, made him mistakenly think that it was a familiar look.
However? How is that possible?
Chen He thought that it was probably because Chao Juan and Yan Yongwang had been together for too long. It is said that lovers will become more and more similar, whether in living habits or other aspects.
Chao Juan's natural coldness, coupled with Yan Yongwang's cold gaze, actually made his heart tremble.
It's really scary.
What was even more frightening was what Chao Juan confessed to him, frankly and sharply, telling him that it was impossible for them to have a long-term, stable relationship.
The final outcome of this relationship can only be separation.
Shen He was very sad.
He was even a little afraid to tell Yan Yongwang this, because Yan Yongwang seemed very confident about this relationship. Did he know that all his lover was thinking about was breaking up with him in the future?
I'm afraid you don't know, because later when Chen He mentioned Chao Juan indirectly, Yan Yongwang always had that very calm and confident attitude.
Chen He could only beat around the bush, hoping that Yan Yongwang would be nicer to Chao Juan.
It was so good that Chao Juan let go of all his worries and all possible resentments, and was willing to be with Yan Yongwang for a long time and peacefully.
Later one day, it was a festive occasion and many couples prepared gifts for each other.
Chen He asked in advance? Yan Yongwang: "Have you prepared a gift for Miss Chao Juan?"
Yan Yongwang: "..." After a moment of silence, he said, "I forgot."
Chen He was so disappointed: "How could you forget something like this? You are her boyfriend, how can you not remember this?"
Yan Yongwang looked back at him and felt that Shen He's excitement at this moment was very suspicious: "What's wrong with you?"
Chen He felt very aggrieved. He thought to himself, if you keep acting like this and not caring at all, you will end up killing your wife. I wonder if you will cry!
The author has something to say: Later, Chen He asked Yan Yan: Do you think you are good to Chao Juan?
Yan Yan (very confident): Of course!
Shen He:......
(Long silence, sigh)
He turned around and muttered to himself: You are an asshole.
