Chapter 996 Mr. Bai, don’t you know Brother Chang?
When Chang Pu realized his feelings for Bai Xuqian, he never thought of hiding them.
He knew very well that
Some things require hard work.
He gently held Bai Xuqian's hand: "So, do you understand what I want?"
The fingers in the palm of his hand were immediately retracted without any pause.
The moment the warmth was taken away, Chang Pu felt his heart become empty as well.
He lowered his eyes, his eyes dimmed: "You can't accept me?"
"It's a bit too sudden. I need time to think about it."
Bai Xuqian's mind was in a state of confusion.
He still hasn't figured out how his relationship with the man in front of him had come to this point?
We agreed that we would not have any emotional connection with each other as bed partners.
Why do you want to confess to him?
He could see the desolation on the man's face, and he couldn't bear to refuse.
But if you are in a romantic relationship, you will face many problems. Even the strongest feelings will become distorted if they are involved in too many trivial matters of life.
"I should go back."
Bai Xuqian stood up from the chair, but his wrist was held by the man.
He didn't have the courage to look up, he lowered his head and pulled his wrist back.
The man's fingerprints didn't move at all.
Bai Xuqian frowned: "What are you doing? I don't agree to date you, so you're going to lock me up at home?"
"I just want you to stay with me more."
Chang Pu stared at the man in front of him, but he could only see his long drooping eyelashes and could not see the emotions in his eyes.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll take you to the hotel to pick up the car."
Reason told Bai Xuqian that he should refuse, but his body was honest and did not resist anymore.
Chang Pu saw his hesitation and took the opportunity to dispel his last bit of hesitation: "I won't do anything to force you, I just want you to spend more time with me. I spent your birthday with you, can you spend the weekend with me?"
Bai Xuqian knew the feeling of loneliness, and he couldn't refuse such a request.
"As agreed, take me to the hotel to pick up the car tomorrow afternoon."
"rest assured!"
Chang Pu touched his hair, his eyes filled with tenderness: "I will do what I promised you."
Bai Xuqian looked away, not wanting to be affected by his gentle gaze.
-
The man said he would not do anything that was forced upon him, and he really did not touch her again.
Sitting on the sofa and watching a movie quietly without much verbal communication, the quiet atmosphere makes people relax.
Bai Xuqian felt that he had not felt so comfortable for a long time.
He relaxed on the sofa, finding a long-lost sense of happiness in the ordinary.
The doorbell rang,
Bai Xuqian glanced sideways and saw the man walk over to open the door and quickly return, but with many more pockets in his hands.
When you get to him, place all those pockets next to him.
"See if there's anything you like?"
Bai Xuqian's eyes flashed with doubt. He used his fingers to pry open a gap in the shopping bag and found that it was filled with clothes.
"You really bought it? I was joking when I asked you to pay for the clothes."
"You want to wear my clothes home tomorrow?"
"Can't I borrow your clothes?"
"sure."
Chang Pu's eyes were filled with smiles: "Take these clothes home and pick out the ones you like. Wear my clothes home tomorrow."
Bai Xuqian looked down at the clothes that were obviously too big for him, and his cheeks began to feel hot.
Why do I feel a little ashamed?
Bai Xuqian almost slept through the weekend because he was so tired.
Woke up and had lunch,
Bai Xuqian changed his clothes and was about to leave.
Chang Pu wanted to keep him, but he knew he couldn't.
I took the car keys and sent him to the hotel to pick up the car.
When Bai Xuqian got out of the car, Chang Pu suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, "Can we meet again?"
Bai Xuqian was stunned.
Looking back, I could clearly see the anxiety in the man's eyes.
He knew that it was a wise decision to end the relationship now, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words.
"if……"
Bai Xuqian took a breath, but still couldn't harden his heart: "If you can still be the same as before, we can meet again."
"What if I were to chase you?"
Chang Pu tightened his fingers and gripped the soft wrist tightly in his palm.
A sudden increase in intensity,
Bai Xuqian's heart trembled violently.
His expression became visibly panicked. He pulled his wrist back with force and turned and ran without saying a word.
The man's panicked back gradually disappeared from view outside the car window.
A deep sense of loneliness emerged in Chang Pu's pupils. He half-closed his eyelashes and sighed helplessly.
Just hearing him say that he wanted to pursue him, Bai Xuqian was so resistant.
If I knew who he was, I probably wouldn't even want to see him.
Bai Xuqian drove back home, threw himself on the bed and buried himself in the quilt.
These past two days have been like a dream, so unreal.
Just think of it as a dream, it will end after tonight.
He and his brother Da Diao can still restore their previous relationship.
What love, what pursuit... are all fake, all fake.
Bai Xuqian began to hypnotize himself, but it didn't work very well.
The psychological pressure is too strong, which is directly reflected in the quality of sleep.
Bai Xuqian couldn't sleep that night.
I went to the company in the morning with dark circles under my eyes.
The assistant came in to deliver the documents and found Bai Xuqian lying on the table, looking very tired.
He walked over quietly, put the documents down and closed the door as he left.
The assistant just walked out of the office and ran into Zheng Hao head-on.
He was quite surprised: "Assistant Zheng, you're here so early?"
"Brother Chang said there are some very important documents and asked me to send them over as soon as possible."
Zheng Hao pointed to the closed office door and asked, "Is Mr. Bai not here?"
"Boss Bai is inside, but he seems very tired and doesn't look like he got enough rest."
The assistant took the information bag and said, "I'll give it to Mr. Bai when he's feeling better."
"Oh, one more thing..." Zheng Hao took out his phone and sent the electronic invitation. "This is the invitation to the Materials Summit on Wednesday. Mr. Bai, please be sure to attend. The group company needs a presentation for supplier and raw material evaluation. Please help Qiguang prepare it."
The assistant received the electronic invitation and talked to Zheng Hao about the project.
Zheng Hao returned to the company and went to Chang Pu's office.
Chang Pu put down the work at hand and asked, "Have you seen Mr. Bai?"
"I heard from Mr. Bai's assistant that he's not feeling well. He's very tired and has been resting in the office."
Chang Pu's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that I tortured him too hard that night and hurt his body?
Zheng Hao: "I have already given the invitation to the summit on Wednesday to his assistant. Mr. Bai will definitely attend as scheduled."
Chang Pu: "We'll talk about the meeting report later. Don't worry about President Bai."
"But the Materials Department is pressing us hard."
"I'll take care of it."
Chang Pu's answer surprised Zheng Hao.
Why has Brother Chang, who has always been impartial, always given the green light to Qiangguang Company recently?
But thinking of the relationship between Bai Xuqian and Huo Cifeng, Zheng Hao swallowed the question that was about to come out of his mouth.
-
Bai Xuqian discovered the abnormality in Chang Pu's attitude towards him a week later.
During this period, everything related to the project went exceptionally smoothly. There were no more review delays, and all the submitted approval procedures were approved in one go.
At first, Bai Xuqian's procedures met the requirements. Later, during a casual chat, he learned from Zheng Hao that it was Chang Pu who gave him the green light.
He didn't have much contact with Chang Pu.
For some reason, this iron-faced devil changed his usual difficult behavior and took such good care of him.
Bai Xuqian couldn't figure out the reason and felt very uneasy.
When delivering the approval documents to the Huo Group, he took the initiative to go to the top floor.
The receptionist recognized Bai Xuqian and greeted him politely, "Mr. Bai, you're here!"
"Is Assistant Chang here? I have something to talk to him about."
"He should be in the office. Please come this way."
The receptionist took Bai Xuqian to the door of Chang Pu's office.
She knocked on the door.
Soon a deep male voice came from inside the door: "Come in!"
The receptionist opened the door.
He said to Bai Xuqian beside him: "Boss Bai, please come in!"
Chang Pu's fingers suddenly stopped and his eyes became panicked in an instant.
Bai Xuqian is here!
Bai Xuqian nodded to the receptionist and said thank you.
He walked into the office and found no one at the desk.
The documents were still on the table, and the ink on the pen tip had not yet dried.
But Chang Pu disappeared.
Bai Xuqian looked around the office and found that two side doors were closed.
Maybe Chang Pu was inside, but out of courtesy he didn't dare to knock on the door and could only wait in the office.
Chang Pu stood in the lounge and frantically sent a message to Zheng Hao.
[Come to my office. Bai Xuqian is here. Take him away first. Don't tell him I'm in the company.]
Zheng Hao was confused when he received the message.
He could feel that Chang Pu was deliberately avoiding Bai Xuqian.
He couldn't figure out the reason.
But he still followed Chang Pu's instructions and walked into the office.
"Boss Bai!"
On the way here, Zheng Hao racked his brains to try to get rid of Bai Xuqian's excuses.
But when he saw Bai Xuqian, he could only say, "Brother Chang is not in the office."
When Chang Pu, who was hiding in the lounge, heard this, he just wanted to rush out and kick Zheng Hao.
Bai Xuqian was stunned: "But just now..."
Before he could finish his words, Zheng Hao grabbed his arm and said, "Go to my office first. I have something to tell you."
Bai Xuqian was completely confused.
What is going on?
He came to Zheng Hao's office and the receptionist brought him coffee.
Zheng Hao tried very hard to find a topic to talk about, but the more anxious he became, the more nervous he became. He stumbled and stammered, and for a long time he couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence.
Bai Xuqian took a sip of coffee and said, "Assistant Zheng, don't feel embarrassed. I know there's someone in Assistant Chang's office..."
An ambiguous smile appeared on his lips: "Is he Assistant Chang's boyfriend?"
"ah?"
Zheng Hao was stunned: "Boyfriend?"
"That man in the office, he must be Assistant Chang's boyfriend! Assistant Chang doesn't want anyone to know that he's hiding someone in the office, so he asked you to come and get me out of here."
Bai Xuqian said seriously: "I know, I understand everything!"
Zheng Hao: “…”
Something seems wrong!
Bai Xuqian: "Today I'm here to thank Assistant Chang. I know he's been very dedicated and responsible to our company's projects. I haven't met him yet, so I wanted to come and thank him in person."
"Boss Bai, you haven't met Brother Chang?"
Zheng Hao felt something was wrong. He clearly saw Chang Pu and Bai Xuqian leaving the banquet hall together that day.
“We never had the chance to meet.”
Bai Xuqian and Chang Pu had been in contact via phone and WeChat for several months, but had never met.
"But didn't you meet Brother Chang at the banquet that day?"
Zheng Hao's words stunned Bai Xuqian.
