night.

Shen Baixuan lay on the deck chair on the terrace, closing his eyes for a long time. Thinking of someone in his heart, his eyebrows were filled with pain.

The door was knocked three times, and someone came in. He frowned, hiding those complicated emotions, and before he turned around, his eyes were covered.

"Guess who I am!"

"Okay, Lingling, stop making trouble." His tone was doting, and he pulled her hands away from her eyes.

Shen Yiling put down her hand and made a face at him, "I'm not disturbing your reading, are you?"

"No. Sit down." Shen Baixuan patted the soft chair beside him and put down the book in his hand, "You want to see me if you need anything?"

Shen Yiling looked him over and over, "You didn't blame me for talking about your personal affairs in front of so many people today, did you?"

"You are the only girl in the family, can I blame you?" Shen Baixuan pinched his sister's little face, and then, with a slightly serious face, asked: "But, you said you found her?"

Shen Yiling nodded, "I saw her photo on my friend's phone. I don't know her specific address or what she is busy with now. However, if you need it, I can ask her clearly with just one phone call."

Although she didn't know Jingwu very well, Master Zhuo and the others definitely knew him well.

Shen Baixuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Tomorrow you can help me find out more. The more detailed the better. All the information will be compiled into a document and sent to me."

"Do you need to compile it into a document? Brother, you really like her that much!" Shen Yiling smiled like a flower and leaned over with a gossipy face. Shen Baixuan half-smiled but glanced at her, "Secret."

"It's still a secret. It's been written on my face a long time ago. However, brother, there is something I must solemnly remind you -" At this point, Shen Yiling straightened her expression and looked at him seriously.

"What's so serious?" Shen Baixuan didn't take her words to heart. He asked as he stood up, took the book into the room, and put it back on the bookshelf.

Shen Yiling followed up and lowered her voice, "Brother, she already has a child. Do you know this? If you really want to be with her, not to mention whether she accepts you or not, you need the approval of your grandparents. It’s totally impossible. Have you ever thought about it?”

Shen Baixuan didn't look at her, but just looked forward, his eyes deep. After pondering for a while, he turned to look at her, "Don't mention me. Don't worry, I have a way to convince them."

Shen Yiling was surprised. The determination on his face was so convincing that she instinctively asked: "What can we do?"

"Secret." Shen Baixuan pinched her cheek. Then, with a slightly serious look, he looked into her eyes and said, "You must keep this matter a secret for me, do you understand?"

"She already has a child?"

"Not only this - but also all the information about her, including her name, life experience, and where she is now, are not allowed to be known to anyone except me. Especially..." After saying this, he paused slightly and opened his eyes. A hint of darkness entered the room, "Cousin, you must not know!"

"Brother Shen Xuan?" Shen Yiling was confused and was about to ask why, when a possibility suddenly flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but stare, with a look of panic on her face.

"Brother, could the girl you like happen to be Brother Shen Xuan's girlfriend four years ago?" Therefore, it also explains very well that Shaochuan thought it was Brother Shen Xuan who had her photo that day!

Shen Baixuan remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescing. Shen Yiling said "ouch" and slapped her forehead with a headache, "It's over, it's over, if you really dare to marry her, it will have to be a world war! Brother Shen Xuan is not that easy to poach. of. "

Shen Baixuan's face was slightly cold, and there was an indistinguishable look of contempt on the corners of his raised lips. The hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly, "I have the final say whether to dig or not."

Shen Yiling looked at her brother in front of her and felt that he was completely different from his usual gentle image at this moment. This made her feel inexplicably afraid.

Is this really love that changes people?

She suddenly felt so confused. On one side was her biological brother, and on the other side was the cousin she admired. Which camp should she stand on? And... Lu Shaochuan...

The man who loved her so much that he was crazy about her...

Thinking of him, Shen Yiling sighed feebly, and her heart became even more confused. She left Shen Baixuan's room without staying any longer.

.............................

That night.

Jingwu lay on the bed and tossed and turned without falling asleep. In his mind, he kept replaying the moment when he and Shen Chenxuan met in the department store during the day...

Now, they are really two strangers.

He kept this promise so well...

She thought that she was the only one who couldn't let go. From the beginning to the end, it had always been like this...

She turned over and pulled the quilt up to cover her face. At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. Her heart skipped a beat, and the cold face almost immediately popped into her mind, but the next second, she laughed at herself. smile.

It couldn't be his. She knew it all too well.

It would be a bit ridiculous to still have such expectations now.

Then I touched my phone and saw the name flashing on the screen, and my heart tightened. It wasn't him, but...

Shaochuan.

She thought that he would never contact her again. At least, not in such a short period of time.

"Hey." He put the phone to his ear, still feeling a little excited.

Over there, Lu Shaochuan coughed dryly, as if trying to hide the throbbing in his heart, and asked calmly: "Are you asleep?"

"not yet."

The other end of the phone was quiet for a while. The two of them seemed to have become a lot more awkward overnight. For a long time, they could only hear each other's breathing.

"I……"

"I……"

Just when Jing Wu spoke, Lu Shaochuan also spoke in unison, and the two spoke in unison.

Then, they stopped together again. Lu Shaochuan smiled and said, "Speak first."

"How are your injuries?" she asked. Thinking of seeing Shen Chenxuan today, the injuries on his face were no longer very obvious, but... the injuries on his body were unknown. That day, Lu Shaochuan was really merciless.

"My recovery ability is very good and I'm fine now."

"That's good." Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually... I called you for no other reason than to ask you something." Lu Shaochuan's tone was a little uncomfortable. Jingwu didn't answer, but just listened silently.

"Have you ever heard of Shen Baixuan?" he asked. Well, in fact, it was just a reason to talk to her. Whether she knew it or not, it didn't matter at all. The important thing was that he could listen to her voice again. , as if nothing ever happened...

She and Shen Chenxuan are together again. It's not that he has no temper. After all, he has never been a saint. He is very small-minded and wishes she would never have contact with that man.

But……

So what? What about losing his temper? Can he do it and stop contacting her, stop caring about her, and stop appearing in her life for the rest of his life?

He wants to...

Before she is happy, he cannot withdraw.

"Shen Baixuan?" Jing Wu shook his head and said, "Never."

I wanted to ask if it had something to do with Shen Chenxuan, but the words never came out. It seemed inappropriate to mention that person between them.

"Forget it if you don't. When are you... about to return to City A?" Lu Shaochuan tried hard to hide the reluctance in his tone, "Call me and I'll see you off."

Keigo chuckled.

She thought, they can still be friends!

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Shaochuan asked. Hearing her laughter, his originally dull mood inexplicably improved a lot.

"It's nothing. I won't go back to City A."

"..." Lu Shaochuan didn't say anything. If he didn't go back, was he planning to get back together with him? So...should he say some words of blessing?

The heart that had just risen fell to the bottom again. The next second, Jingwu added another sentence: "He promised me that he would not take Luan Luan away again. So, I plan to wait for me to settle down, and then I will leave Luan Luan and me."

Let’s bring mom to the city together. What do you think?”

What is going on?

Did he misunderstand?

After reacting, Lu Shaochuan swept away the previous gloomy look and immediately cheered up, "Of course. If you want to find a new house, I have one here. I will accompany you to pick up Aunt Min."

As they talked like this, the initial awkwardness between the two people disappeared invisibly. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and in the end, they hung up the phone in a relaxed tone.

Keigo lay down on the bed, feeling much better. However, the area in her chest was still empty. She didn't know if there would be anything that could fill it up in the future...

........................................

The next day.

Before Jingwu could take the initiative to submit his resignation letter, Shengxinglou took the lead and called him into the office.

"Mr. Sheng." She greeted politely and pushed her resignation letter in front of him, "Please take a look at it."

Sheng Xinglou raised his eyes from the document and scanned the white envelope lightly. Naturally, he felt very clear in his heart. He put down the pen in his hand and leaned lazily on the executive chair, "I'm calling you in this time just because I want to

Let’s talk to you about your job transfer.”

But isn't she here to talk about resigning?

"I have read your past information and you have done very well in several projects in City A. Therefore, I have planned to transfer you to the project department to see your strength first."

"Mr. Sheng." Jing Wu was about to say something, but Sheng Xinglou raised his head slightly and signaled her to stop.

"I know that you are resigning because of Shen Xuan. But have you ever thought that the CBD in Yancheng is so large, and if you change companies, you will definitely not meet Shen Xuan? Besides...if he wants to meet him.

You, if you hide in City A, you will still meet him; if he doesn't want to see you, you are right under his nose, and he can pretend that he can't see you."

Isn’t that right?

Wasn't he just pretending to be in front of the department store yesterday?

Jingwu's heart sank a little, and she was about to say something, but her phone suddenly rang at this moment. She said sorry, took it out without looking at who it was, and pressed it down instinctively. However, it only took a few seconds.

It rang immediately again.

Shengxinglou said: "It doesn't matter, you listen to the phone first."

"Thank you." Jingwu also guessed that there might be something urgent. When he saw the screen, it was the landline phone at home. His heart suddenly tightened and he quickly listened.
