The coffee in the cup splashed and soaked Xu Yicen's stockings and elegant white high heels. Her eyes were wide open, as if she had heard something incredible and was completely shocked.

The secretary and Shao Lingxi both asked, "Miss Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Yicen shook his head indifferently. Shao Lingxi frowned and looked at the secretary beside him, "That's right, this is the room. Go and send your luggage to..."

Shao Lingxi paused for a moment when he said this, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Send it to Jingyuan."

After receiving the order, the secretary naturally hurried out. Shao Lingxi lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Yicen sitting on the sofa, frowned and asked, "Miss Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Yicen remained silent. After a while, he looked up at her and said, "Assistant Shao Te, you mean...she's back, right?"

Shao Lingxi knew that this was nothing to hide, so he nodded, "Yes."

"What...what...when did it happen? Cheng Ke, have you known about it for a long time?" Xu Yicen asked, thinking of Cheng Ke's words of 'well, I'm sorry' last night, which was just like that to her.

Is the brief rejection just because... that woman has come back?

But Shao Lingxi's answer was not as she expected, "No, Director Cheng only found out this morning. She should have only come back in the past two days. However, this morning she went to interview the manager of the wedding department of the resort, and it was Cheng.

Dong... conducted the interview in person."

Xu Yicen understood somewhat after hearing this. It was the wedding department that Cheng Ke was so dedicated to. No matter how busy he was, he would personally participate in the wedding department's employee interviews.

Just hearing this answer, Xu Yicen felt even more miserable in his heart. Last night... Cheng Ke didn't know that Wen Yanchu had come back. Faced with Xu Yicen's five years of waiting and perseverance, she still received the answer of rejection. So now, Wen Yanchu

...I'm back. How many more opportunities do I have?

"But...then what?" Xu Yicen's speech was a little awkward and he asked, "How was...the interview?"

The only hope in his eyes was shattered by Shao Lingxi's next words.

"Director Cheng...hired her."

Xu Yicen stood up, his steps a little frivolous, and walked outside step by step. The way Shao Lingxi looked at her, she actually couldn't bear it, but many things cannot be won by fighting for them.

For example, Cheng Ke’s heart.

…

Cheng Ke had no intention of going to the company. After driving away from Jingyuan, he felt agitated. He stretched out his hand to pull apart his tie heavily and threw it onto the passenger seat. When he looked sideways at the passenger seat, he couldn't help but think of the previous incident.

The way she was sitting there.

I was getting more and more depressed, and even lowering the car window didn't relieve me much.

He turned on the radio casually, and a certain love song was playing on the radio. He originally frowned and wanted to reach out to turn it off, but the first lyrics made him stop.

'I've been lonely for how long and I still haven't recovered. I feel like the whole world is laughing at me. How proud can I be? I'm vulnerable. I'm knocked down as soon as I meet you. You wake up the sleeping iceberg and escape calmly. You always

There is a way to do it easily. A smile from afar can set off turbulent waves... Obviously you are also very good.

Love me, there is no reason why love cannot have results. As long as you dare not be cowardly, why should we miss it? There are still many dreams in the night, so don’t think of me. When the time comes, you will know how painful it is... those joys at that time were rare and beautiful.

, you really have a way to let go, the dream that just came true will be shattered in the blink of an eye...'

The car was parked haphazardly on the side of the road.

All the expressions on Cheng Ke's face became very sad at this moment.

On his thin face, there was a glimmer of water in his deep eyes. He took a deep breath and put a hand on his chest, trying to suppress the pain in his head that gradually turned from dull and heavy to sharp.

The female song on the radio is still surrounding the car through the car's high-end speakers. Obviously you love me too. There is no reason why love can't end. As long as you dare not be cowardly, why should we miss it? There are still many dreams in the night.

Don't think of me...

Release the brake, lightly press the accelerator, turn the steering wheel, and the car quickly drives forward.

…

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man wearing simple clothes was pruning flower branches with large gardening scissors in his hand. The expression on his face was calm and indifferent, revealing a little kindness that he has gradually gained at this age.

He didn't look old at all. He was humming a soft tune in his mouth, and the scissors in his hand were clicking and carefully cutting the flower branches. Only a sharp brake sound stopped his humming.

Looking towards the door of the yard, he saw a luxury car parked at the door of his yard, and a tall figure hurriedly stepped out of the car.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the tall figure walk into the courtyard gate.

"Ake?" He had just asked this question when he heard the visitor already saying, "Uncle Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have a drink."

It has indeed been a while since we last met. Because of the holiday park incident, Yi Tairan had a lot of experience in the hotel industry, so we had many contacts with him. Yi Tairan had witnessed Cheng Ke's dark years.

The work intensity is unbearable, and a lot of it is pressure he imposes on himself.

Several times during meetings and discussions, he suddenly saw a line of blood slipping from Cheng Ke's nose. He just wiped it casually with a handkerchief, and then continued the meeting.

Yi Tairan also knew what he was doing. In fact, he was a little upset. After all... he really wanted to get to know Wen Yanchu and his daughter, but before he could, she had left quietly.

Just seeing Cheng Ke like this, he couldn't even bring it up. If he mentioned it one more time, he would open Cheng Ke's wounds one more time.

Yi Tairan didn't know that Wen Yanchu had come back. Seeing Cheng Ke like this, he just thought he was in a bad mood, so he nodded in agreement. After the two of them entered the house, he opened a bottle of his own good wine, and

Cheng Ke drank together.

Cheng Ke never said a word or said what was going on. He drank in silence. Yi Tairan looked at the way he drank. He didn't drink for the sake of drinking. He clearly drank to get drunk. He couldn't help but frown.

Wrinkled.

But it was hard to say anything. I just took the initiative to pour him wine every time, and each time I poured less.

Cheng Ke has been fiddling with his phone and looking at the picture of her on the screen saver. That is what she looked like five years ago. She took a selfie with his phone once, with a winking smile and her eyes narrowed into slits.

.

Yi Tairan glanced at his phone and sighed softly in his heart.

Cheng Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, thought of something, and sent a text message directly to Rong Feng, 'You should have some connections in the United States, help me check someone...'
