Ex's obsession
Yue Lanxiu was taken back to the prison by his master. His master said that he was found under the bed in the cell, saying that Yue Lanxiu had the habit of sleeping under the bed! Yue Lanxiu also insisted that he had never left the cell! The police had no way to do anything to them, mainly because the surveillance footage did not show him leaving! The most important thing was that he was still in the cell! What's more important was that his master helped them solve many cases and was an absolutely trustworthy and righteous man! So the police did not investigate further!
Xu Rongxuan once again sighed at this pair of immortal master and disciple!
It was thought that after obtaining evidence that Guan Shaoling was the murderer, Yue Lanxiu would be released soon, but what was unexpected was that the half of the evidence that Chao Rirou hid under the tree was missing!
Xu Rongxuan couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked, and Chao Rirou looked for it herself but couldn't find it either!
"That's weird, I clearly put it here!" Chao Rirou asked puzzledly, "Could someone have taken it away?"
"Could it be Yan Mingchi?" Xu Rongxuan asked solemnly.
"It shouldn't happen, but it's not impossible! Anything becomes possible for him!" Asahirou wondered who else would take it.
"Besides us, who else have you told this to?"
"I only told you! The only ones present at that time were you, me, Xiu, A Xiang, and Yue Lanjing..." After a pause, Chao Rirou's pupils trembled.
"You suspect it's Yue Lanjing?"
"It can't be wrong! We all woke up after taking the antidote, but it had no effect on him! I thought it was just the individual differences Ah Xiang explained, but now it seems very likely he's faking it!"
"We were careless! That half piece of paper contained evidence of their crime. If it had fallen into their hands, it would have been destroyed by now!"
Chao Rirou gritted her teeth in hatred, and after a moment she said, "I'll find a way!"
"Are you going to find him?" Xu Rongxuan easily guessed her thoughts.
Asahirou didn't deny it, "Don't tell Xiu about this, lest he worry!"
"Be careful!" Xu Rongxuan knew he couldn't stop her, so all he could do was support her at any time. "If anything happens, notify me immediately. Don't take risks alone!"
Zhao Rirou nodded. Xu Rongxuan really cared about her, like a friend. Suddenly, she remembered something else that was very important to her. "I heard that your aunt is living with you now? Because your aunt asked me to go out for tea together!"
"Indeed! She told me about you two. Fate is truly amazing! She said you were going to introduce her to Ah Xiang for treatment. Thank you so much!"
"You don't have to thank me. Compared to the help you've given me, this is nothing. Although you may have helped me because of Xiu, I will also remember it!"
"I really consider you a friend!"
The two smiled faintly at each other, without any feelings between men and women.
"You're really capable! I've been trying to convince her to move in with me, but she refused no matter what. I never thought you'd convince her after just one meeting!"
"So fate is indescribable. It was fate that made us hit it off right away! Please apologize to my aunt for me. I'm afraid I don't have time to keep the appointment recently, nor do I have time to take her to Ah Xiang's place!"
"I understand! You don't have to apologize! Taking her to the doctor should be my responsibility as a son. I'm so ashamed! I'm not a good son!"
"You are a good police officer! Auntie always says this, so I believe you must be great in her heart! If you don't have time to accompany Auntie to see the doctor, you might as well hand Auntie directly to A Xiang." Chao Rirou suggested.
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble for her?" Xu Rongxuan felt that it was inappropriate.
"I believe Ah Xiang will be very happy!" Chao Rirou said meaningfully, intending to match Xu Rongxuan with her good friend.
After she finished what she wanted to say, she turned around and left without lingering.
Why would Ah Xiang be so happy? Xu Rongxuan obviously didn't understand her true meaning.
Because Ah Xiang also regarded him as a very good friend? Xu Rongxuan thought with a smile, thinking that this must be the case.
He didn't have time to think deeply about such questions, as his good brother was still in prison waiting for him to rescue him!
Asarirou went straight to Yueshi, and only then did she find out when she arrived at the general manager's office that Yue Lanjing was no longer the general manager, but the chairman - the highest leader of Yueshi!
Asahirou was not surprised at all. With his power and means, it was only a matter of time before he took this position!
Yue Lanjing was in a meeting now. There was only one female secretary left in his secretary's office, whom she had never seen before. The female secretary was very polite and immediately stood up to make announcements for her.
In the conference room, Yue Lanjing was listening to her subordinates' work reports while concentrating on two things at the same time.
It's almost time for her to show up! He has been waiting for her for a long time!
When he thought of how she tried her best to save him, his handsome face relaxed, his eyes were filled with smiles, making people feel like sitting in a spring breeze; when the intimate scene between her and Yue Lanxiu suddenly jumped into his mind, his handsome face was covered with clouds again, his eyes flashed with lightning, and his words were like thunder, making people feel like sitting on pins and needles!
There was a sudden knock on the conference room door. After getting Yue Lanjing's permission, the female secretary dared to push the door open and enter. She asked, "The lady named Yatang is here. Should we let her wait?"
"Tell her I'll be there soon!" Although Yue Lanjing's face showed no expression, Guan Shaoling knew that his heart was clear.
Yue Lanjing gave a few concise instructions and then left the meeting room in big strides.
Guan Shaoling stayed to continue listening and recording the meeting, and couldn't help but lament in his heart: "Can't you leave her alone for a while?" Can he change this bad habit of losing his patience whenever he meets her?
Everyone in the meeting room, especially Huang Ying, was secretly wondering who this woman named Yatang was. It was obvious that the chairman was very interested in her! Could she be his new favorite?
Seeing Zhao Rirou sitting at the desk, Yue Lanjing's eyes were as soft as the warmest and most comfortable sunshine.
But this ray of sunlight shining on Asahirou only made her feel uncomfortable. Did his attitude towards her change because he knew that she was the real Asahirou?
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" He spoke softly, as if he was protecting his most beloved baby.
Asahirou looked at him who asked the question even though he knew the answer, and tried her best to control herself from losing her temper. "Yes! I want to exchange half a piece of paper in my hand for half a piece of paper in your hand!" She came straight to the point, saving him from beating around the bush.
Yue Lanjing gestured for her to go into his office to talk, and then he said something to the female secretary beside him. The female secretary nodded and left quickly.
"Can you sit on the sofa for a while? We can talk about this later. I have some important documents that must be dealt with in time!" Even though she wanted evidence of their crime, he still spoke in a gentle voice.
"My business is also very important, and I have to deal with it immediately!" She told herself many times on the way here that she must speak nicely and must not anger him, because the current situation is that she needs his help! But his deliberate avoidance made her tone sharp.
Yue Lanjing didn't take it as a problem. Instead, she thought she looked very cute. "Don't be angry. Your business is of course the most important to me! But what you want to discuss with me can't be settled in a few words. As for the things I have on hand, just give me some time and I'll get them done quickly, okay? I promise I won't keep you too long!"
He had already pleaded with her and expressed his willingness to talk to her, so Asahirou decided to take a step back for now. She couldn't rush things. It would be bad if he got upset and there was no room for negotiation!
The only thing that could save Yue Lanxiu right now was the half piece of paper in his hand! She should just follow his lead and sit on the sofa and wait for a while!
Seeing her nod in agreement, as if she had obtained permission, he felt at ease to do his own thing.
Although he was easy to talk to now, Chao Rirou was still very uneasy. She was not sure whether the half piece of paper in her hand had any value in his eyes. Even if it had value, was it worth him giving up the loyal Guan Shaoling?
What if he had read this half of the paper and written it down? What kind of value would she have to provide to make him let Yue Lanxiu go?
Yue Lanjing has been paying attention to her, even if it's just her back, he is still obsessed with her!
How wonderful! She could still be so close to him! He could still look at her so quietly!
But just watching her was far from enough for him! He wanted her to return to his arms, even if she hated and loathed him!
An hour passed quickly. During this time, Chao Rirou looked back at Yue Lanjing many times. He always looked like he was working hard and it was not easy to disturb him.
Yue Lanjing's female secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in, bringing her a lot of food and drinks, so much so that there was almost no room left on the coffee table.
She took a quick look and saw that they were all her favorites! Zhao Rirou turned her head to look at Yue Lanjing in confusion. He also looked up at the same time. Their eyes met. Yue Lanjing smiled slightly, which contained endless doting. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I encountered a small problem. I hope you can give me some more time! I don't know if the food on the table suits your taste. If not, or if you need anything else, just tell the secretary. From now on, she is equivalent to your secretary!"
The female secretary tactfully continued, "Miss Yatang, if you have any other instructions, please tell me!"
Chao Rirou waved her hand coldly and asked her to leave. After she closed the door and left, Chao Rirou said to Yue Lanjing coldly, "I'm not here for afternoon tea! I just need you to come over and listen to me carefully!"
"Okay, I will finish the work at hand as soon as possible!" Although he always had a smile on his face, the sadness between his brows could not be dispelled!
Asahirou didn't notice at all. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she turned back and picked up the black tea on the table and started drinking it. This was her favorite tea, and now it had no flavor!
Two hours later, Zhao Rirou's patience was about to run out. Yue Lanjing's attention was always on her, and he could easily see her impatience. He said at the right time, "Finally done! Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"
"Can we talk now?" Asahiro was too lazy to waste time talking to him.
Yue Lanjing sighed secretly, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. Did she really have nothing else to say to him?
Seeing that she didn't touch anything except tea, he frowned and said distressedly, "You haven't eaten anything? You've been waiting for me so late, you must be hungry. How about we go eat first? Where do you want to eat?"
"I'm not hungry!" Asahiro tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
"Even if you are not hungry, you have to eat at this time, otherwise it will harm your health! I won't allow you to neglect yourself like this! Come with me!" He took her hand affectionately and walked out.
Zhao Rirou coldly shook off his touch. "After dinner? Are you willing to listen to me carefully? If you don't have that intention, I won't force you! Don't force me to eat with you either!"
Yue Lanjing felt as if his chest had been twisted, and it hurt, but he felt that he deserved it! "You didn't force me. I have seriously considered your proposal, but I haven't made up my mind yet! But now it seems that you are the one who doesn't want to continue the discussion!" He looked like he had her in his grasp.
Although Zhao Rirou was filled with hatred, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and said, "Since you are so sincere, why should I refuse!"
"Please!" Yue Lanjing enthusiastically made a "please" gesture.
Asahirou walked quickly ahead and deliberately walked into the employee elevator, not wanting to take the special elevator with him alone.
Yue Lanjing was reluctant to give up the opportunity to be with her, and followed her closely without even a second's hesitation.
It was rush hour, and the elevator stopped at almost every floor. More and more people were coming in. A few sensible ones would wait for the next one because of his status, but most people just kept looking down at their phones and didn't notice him at all. He was unpleasantly squeezed to the very back.
Seeing him being stepped on several times, Asarirou secretly felt relieved!
However, his frown soon relaxed. He and Asahirou were forced to squeeze together, and his and her bodies were forced to stick together... He really liked this forced feeling.
Zhao Rirou's brows furrowed. Although she knew that he had good intentions in trapping her between his chest and the wall, the smile on his face was somewhat cunning! Despicable!
Yue Lanjing took her to a high-end restaurant he often went to, and he reserved the best sightseeing seat on the 19th floor.
In the past, he always took the VIP elevator, but today he had just experienced it and wanted to take an ordinary elevator again, so he pulled Chao Rirou and quickly ran into an ordinary elevator that was about to close.
There were already quite a few people in the elevator, and Yue Lanjing pulled Chao Rirou to the corner.
Asahirou easily saw through his evil intentions and would not be so foolish as to let him take advantage of her again.
When the elevator reached the second floor, a swarm of people rushed in. Everyone in the elevator frowned, only Yue Lanjing was secretly smiling.
But there were too many people, and a burly man suddenly stepped between him and Chao Rirou, allowing Chao Rirou to break free from his grip. The burly man seemed to have body odor, and Chao Rirou fled for her life, squeezing into another corner.
He wanted to see how Chao Rirou was doing, but the big man in front of him was like a mountain, blocking his way completely!
He wanted the strong man to move aside, but the strong man gave him a helpless expression. There were too many people and it was already impossible to move.
A burst of body odor suddenly wafted into Yue Lanjing's nose, and she almost vomited, so she had to turn her back.
Not only did no one go down, but some people even forced their way in. Yue Lanjing was trapped between the wall and the smelly man and was in great pain!
Asahirou glanced at him and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She saw him lying on the wall like a gecko, unable to move!
Just a few minutes felt like a century to Yue Lanjing. He swore never to go to a crowded place again!
He lost his appetite for the following dinner as the lingering smell of body odor filled his nose.
But he still ordered a lot of delicious food. The woman in front of him was too thin, and it made him feel distressed. If possible, he wanted to feed her into a fat person! He didn't know if she was willing to give him this opportunity!
He took the initiative to peel shrimps, remove fish bones, and cut steaks for her... Asahirou was filled with emotion, but her face showed an expression of rejection, "I have my own hands, you don't have to do this! I won't eat expired candy!" She didn't want him to still have illusions about her.
"It has not expired and will never expire. If you have to talk about a shelf life, then it will be until I die!" Yue Lanjing said sincerely from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Rirou smiled indifferently. "Let's be honest. I only have one request right now. Can you agree to it? After saying so many nice things, you won't even agree to my request, right?"
Yue Lanjing couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart, and said in a calm tone, "You want Yue Lanxiu to be released, right?"
He lowered his head and stirred the glass of red liquid in front of him. Only then did Asahiro realize that he had ordered a sweet drink for her.
Having never seen him eat this kind of thing before, Asahirou was simply curious, and her mind immediately returned to the main topic, "I know you can do it!"
"What if the price for him to come out is that I have to go in? Will you continue to ask me for it?" He suddenly raised his head, letting her fall defenselessly into his bleak, depressed, and sad pupils.
This fall made her feel pain, it was her heart that hurt!
She didn't expect that she would still feel sorry for him.
Even though she no longer loves him, she still has other feelings for him!
He forced a sad smile and said, "Of course, if this is what you want, I will do as you wish!"
Zhao Rirou took a deep breath, calmed down the melancholy he brought to her, and said rationally, "Yue Lanxiu didn't kill anyone, so he shouldn't be made a scapegoat! And you, I always hope you can be fine! It's just that sometimes people have to bear the consequences of their own bad deeds!"
"How can I be fine when you're not by my side?" He took a sip of the sweet drink, frowned, called the waiter over, and said to him, "This sweet drink is not good, it's not sweet at all. Can you give me a sweet one instead?"
The waiter quickly brought him another cup, but he was still not satisfied and still couldn't taste the sweetness.
For fear of offending him, the waiter brought all the sweet drinks, but he was still very dissatisfied!
The waiter was at a loss as to what to do and kept apologizing.
Zhao Rirou sighed wearily. Her heart felt bitter, so nothing she drank tasted sweet. She waved her hand, letting the waiter leave. The waiter glanced timidly at Yue Lanjing, and seeing his acquiescence, he quickly slipped away.
Zhao Rirou took a few bites of food and put them in his bowl. Her tone softened considerably, no longer so cold and harsh. "No matter how little appetite you have, you still have to eat. Otherwise, how will you have the energy to work?"
Her actions gradually dispelled the gloom in his heart, and his determination to have her back became stronger. He said affectionately, "It would be great if I could eat the food you pick up every day in the future!"
Asahirou lowered her head while eating and asked, "Then what are you doing with your hands?"
"I want to use my hands to hug you!" He stared at her, his eyes so scorching that no one dared to look directly at him. "Is that okay? Are you willing to give me another chance?"
"Don't say any more, Jing, stop!" Zhao Rirou suddenly raised a face full of rejection. In her complex eyes, there was sadness, apology, and reluctance after the decision, but there was no love that he cared about!
The enthusiasm in his eyes was extinguished in an instant, and the warmth that had finally appeared in the air disappeared in an instant!
"Is it because of Yue Lanxiu?" The negative factors in his body began to roam. "Now I envy Yue Lanxiu. Even though he's in jail, he's got your heart! If he gets out, he can get you back! So I think he should stay in there and not come out and cause trouble!"
"You--" Asahirou immediately stopped talking. Continuing would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire!
She calmly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about Yue Lanxiu, let's talk about the half piece of paper in my hand. Don't you want to know what's written on it?"
"Have you written evidence sufficient to convict us? I don't think so, otherwise you would have handed it over to the police long ago, Yue Lanxiu would have been released long ago, and you wouldn't have come to me!" Yue Lanjing said calmly, acting indifferent to the half piece of paper.
Asahirou bit her lip. He was so smart that it was annoying!
"It's about Yue Lanhui. He seems to have been wrongly accused and killed!" Chao Rirou's eyes reminded him that he had killed the wrong person! "The murderer is someone else! I believe you must be very interested in who the real murderer is!" Chao Rirou threw out the bait again.
Yue Lanjing still looked uninterested. "You're right. I really want to know who the real murderer is. It's a pity that you didn't mention it on that half piece of paper!"
Asahirou raised an eyebrow in confusion. How could he know?
Yue Lanjing smiled, and the look in her eyes was full of love. "Although I don't understand French, fortunately I have a photographic memory. After reading it once, I can still write it down!"
Asahirou was so stunned she was speechless. He was truly terrifyingly clever!
Her brows were tightly furrowed. In this case, what else could she talk to him about?
"Is there really nothing to exchange?" She would not give up and simply asked him directly.
He was waiting for her to ask this question, and replied to her gently but insistently, "Yes! You!"
After he finished speaking, he saw her beautiful eyes widen, filled with shock, anger, and even hatred. Her pearly teeth sunk deeply into her soft red lips, showing how much she resisted in her heart, yet she was powerless!
Her reaction was within his expectations, but the heartache it brought was much more unbearable than he had imagined!
The person he least wanted to hurt was her! But now he was doing something to hurt her! He told himself that this was the last time! In the future, he would definitely make it up to her and love her well!
"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Rirou quickly regained her composure. She knew her goal very well and was prepared to sacrifice everything to achieve it!
"Just come back to me!" Yue Lanjing ignored her excessive calmness, as if she had suddenly lost her vitality, and said and did this regardless of the pain in her heart!
"In my memory, you would never make such a request. You really keep refreshing my understanding of you!" Asahirou said with disappointment.
"I just want to try one more time, try to make you fall in love with me again! I know that what I'm doing is too much for you, so I dare not ask you for a lifetime. I just hope you can give me a year. If within this year, no matter what I do, you remain indifferent," he paused, just thinking about this result made him suffocate and uncomfortable. He had to take a deep breath before he continued, "Then I will let go! I won't bother you anymore!" When he said the last sentence, it was so painful that his face turned pale.
Asahirou turned her face away, unable to bear to see his sorrow. What he had done was clearly so abominable! But she still couldn't truly hate him!
"I hope you can think about it carefully."
Chao Rirou didn't respond to him and got up and left. Yue Lanjing chased after her and insisted on taking her back. She didn't say no, which was considered as her consent.
On the way to Thyme, the two of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the car was so depressing that it was suffocating.
After arriving, Asahirou agreed to his request before getting out of the car.
The haze in Yue Lanjing's heart was suddenly illuminated, and his whole body suddenly became lively. He excitedly wanted to hold her hand.
But Chao Rirou avoided it and said, "Come to see me after Yue Lanxiu is released!" After that, she got out of the car without any reluctance and walked into the courtyard wall without looking back.
Yue Lanjing's face froze, and she could only watch her leave. She must hate him to death! But if she didn't do this, she was afraid she would never return to him again!
He didn't leave, not for a long time, and it seemed that he didn't want to leave at all! He didn't want to be too far away from her!
