Chapter 218: Why is it you(1/2)
Gu Jingting entered the office and saw a large bouquet of roses placed on her desk.
She was startled for a moment, and the first thing she thought of was Lei Sifan.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, with a hint of a smile, she picked up the roses and placed them on the coffee table. The card in the middle of the bouquet fell off due to her movement.
She picked it up and took a look.
,
"Jingting: I love you, and I will definitely make you fall in love with me again. Chen."
The vigorous and powerful words penetrate the back of the paper. The sharp corners can reveal the mood of the writer at this time, as well as his revealed personality.
Flowers sent by Tang Yichen?
Gu Jingting was startled for a moment and stopped for a moment while trying to insert the flowers into the vase.
She thought about how he didn't stop her when she left his residence this morning, but insisted on sending her back.
,
He said: "Jingting, I know you won't believe me easily again. But, I love you, it's true."
"Jingting, I swear, I will never lie to you again."
He had just sent him downstairs to leave. So, was this bouquet of flowers ordered early in the morning?
This was the second time Tang Yichen sent flowers to her. Gu Jingting held the bouquet of flowers and rationally told her that she should throw the flowers away, but in the end she found a vase to put them in.
,
An hour later, the secretary sent another bouquet of flowers, this time white roses.
The person who sent the flowers was Lei Sifan.
Looking at the two bouquets of roses of the same size and different colors placed in front of her, Gu Jingting asked her secretary to find another vase and put the two bouquets of flowers on them at the same time.
The phone rang twice at this moment, it was Lei Sifan.
"Jingting, good morning. Have you received the flowers?"
"Got it." His eyes fell on the big bouquet of white roses: "Sifan——"
,
Lei Sifan interrupted her without giving her a chance to explain: "Do you have time in the afternoon? Let's have dinner together?"
"Okay." Gu Jingting nodded: "Where is the appointment?"
"No, I'll pick you up."
"Okay." Gu Jingting thought about what she had left Lei Sifan behind yesterday, and she felt a little embarrassed and wanted to explain: "Yesterday -"
"If there's anything else, let's talk about it when we meet." Lei Sifan didn't seem to mind at all: "I have a meeting here, see you in the afternoon."
"See you in the afternoon."
,
Gu Jingting hung up the phone, not knowing whether to thank Lei Sifan for his thoughtfulness or to complain about Tang Yichen's rogue behavior yesterday.
The phone beeped twice more, and she picked it up without looking: "Sifan, what else can I do?"
"I'm not Lei Sifan." Tang Yichen on the other side of the phone, his expectant expression suddenly turned cold: "Do you like him that much?"
Gu Jingting did not respond: "Tang Yichen, are you okay?"
,
Is there something? Of course he is. He called Lei Sifan by his first name, but he called him by his first name and his surname. This difference is really big.
"I want to ask you to have dinner with me in the afternoon."
"I have an appointment."
"Have an appointment? With whom? Lei Sifan?"
"Mr. Tang." Gu Jingting's hand holding the phone tightened: "This doesn't seem to be any of your business, right?"
,
Do you really want to go on a date with Lei Sifan? Tang Yichen's face on the other end of the phone suddenly darkened, and there was an obvious sinister flash in his eyes: "What about noon? You won't have a date with him at noon, right?"
"Sorry, I have cooperation to discuss at noon, so I don't have time."
Gu Jingting was about to hang up the phone after saying that. Tang Yichen was filled with hatred, but his tone softened: "Jingting, do you plan to treat me like this for the rest of your life?"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jingting's lips tightened unconsciously. Her eyes glanced at another bouquet of red roses in the office.
Will she stay like this her whole life? She doesn’t know, she just——
,
"I have no idea."
Many thoughts were swirling in her heart, and she couldn't say many words in her heart. The situation in front of her was obviously a deadlock, but she really didn't know how to break this deadlock.
"Jingting?" This was the first time he heard her speak in such a helpless tone.
"I want to forgive you, I want to believe you, but I can't." As she spoke, Gu Jingting stood up and walked to the landing, overlooking the busy traffic on the ground: "Tang Yichen, do you know? I have no choice.
I don’t believe you anymore.”
,
Those injuries were too serious and painful. She used to look down on people who were bitten by snakes once and were afraid of well ropes for ten years. But now, she has become such a person.
Does she love Tang Yichen?
If she is honest enough, her answer is yes. But because of love, she cannot forgive.
"Jingting?" Tang Yichen couldn't see her expression, but he could imagine what she looked like at this time. He felt a pain in his heart: "I——"
"Tang Yichen, are you dreaming?" Gu Jingting's breath made the glass hazy, and her hand unconsciously moved across the glass. Tang Yichen's name appeared on it, but quickly disappeared again.
,
"I often dream. I dream about the shot you gave me, I dream about falling into the cold sea water, and I dream about -" the lost child.
Every time she woke up from the dream, her heart ached.
She thought she could forget the pain, but in fact it was so difficult.
"My heart still hurts. That scar reminds me how ruthless and cruel you are."
"Jingting." Tang Yichen's heart ached. However, that shot was really not from him.
,
And he knew very well that no matter what he said now, Gu Jingting would not believe it.
"So, Tang Yichen, I really don't know. Maybe it's a good choice if you don't appear in front of me in the future and we just forget about each other."
"I don't want it." Tang Yichen shook his head. He couldn't accept such a result: "Jingting, I know that no matter what I say, you won't believe it. I can only say that the thing I regret most in my life is hurting you.
."
,
Regret? Gu Jingting was silent. The two of them did not speak to each other across the phone.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but it couldn't shine into Gu Jingting's heart. Her heart had long since been buried in the sea of Hawaii with that shot.
After a long, long time, Gu Jingting finally reacted: "If nothing happens, I'm going to work."
"Jingting. I love you." Tang Yichen did not stop her from hanging up the phone, but just confessed his heart again.
,
Gu Jingting frowned, but finally hung up the phone without saying anything.
After sitting back at her desk, her mood was not as calm as she had shown. She lay her body down on the back of the chair. If there hadn't been that shot, what would she and Tang Yichen be like now?
Shaking her head, there are no ifs in this world. Lowering her head to handle business, Gu Jingting told herself not to think about Tang Yichen anymore.
She worked indifferently, not paying attention to the passage of time until her secretary came in.
"General manager."
"Is something wrong?"
,
"It's time for lunch. Should I order food for you, or should you go to the staff restaurant downstairs with us?"
"I -" Gu Jingting looked at the time and realized that it was already past twelve o'clock. No wonder she was a little hungry. She stood up and wanted to go to the staff cafeteria, but at this time her assistant ran up panting.
"General manager, here, someone brought it and said it was for you."
The little assistant was holding a huge insulated lunch box. He looked at Gu Jingting with a rather flattering expression: "General Manager."
Gu Jingting looked at the insulated lunch box with a flash of doubt in her eyes: "Just leave it."
