The next morning, Mu Chenxi woke up and found that she was close to Fu Yanshen.
His face was right in front of her, and their breaths intertwined intimately.
Her expression changed instantly.
Obviously before going to bed last night, she had reminded herself over and over again in her heart, don't get close, don't get close.
But she really didn't expect that she would still...
Mu Chenxi bit her lip, stepped away from him almost immediately, got out of bed, and strode away before he woke up.
It wasn't until the footsteps were far away that Fu Yanshen slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the empty space next to him, he placed his big hand on the spot where Mu Chenxi had just lay, her residual warmth still lingering on it.
…
At noon, Mu Chenxi slowly walked out of the office building.
Step by step, walk to the place where the sun shines, and slowly raise your head to look at the bright sunshine.
Let the sunshine dissipate your negative emotions and cheer yourself up silently.
Don't give up and don't be defeated by setbacks so easily.
Now, she takes a break and looks back at the past four years.
In fact, she has always been "kneeling" and relying on others to live her life.
She deserved to be humiliated by him again and again, trampling her dignity to the ground and crushing her.
If you don’t want to be humiliated again, you must stand up hard and pick up your lost dignity bit by bit.
"Mu Chenxi, come on!"
After silently encouraging herself, she walked to a bus stop not far away and sat down on a bench. She took out the bread and eggs she bought on the breakfast bus in the morning from her bag.
Just as she took her first bite of bread, she heard a car honking in front of her.
She thought it was a taxi driver and ignored him.
Until the other party lowered the window a little and shouted: "Morning light."
Mu Chenxi raised his head when he heard the sound, with bread still wrapped in his mouth.
Seeing the people in the car, he was obviously stunned for a moment, "Lu Jingxing?"
Lu Jingxing held the steering wheel and motioned to her, "Let's get in the car. You can't park here."
Mu Chenxi hummed, stood up and walked quickly to the car.
He reached for the car door without opening it, raised his hand and knocked on the half-lowered window glass, "Open the car door."
Lu Jingxing came to his senses and quickly opened the car door. When she got into the car, he said to her, "I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at her belly.
He saw it just now.
The moment she stood up from the platform seat, he saw her flat belly.
It has been more than a month since we last met, and Chen Xi’s child should be almost five months old.
The fetal phase should be obvious.
But sitting next to her, she has a flat belly and a slender figure. Her face is thin, and even heavy makeup cannot hide the haggard look on her face.
The phrase "What's wrong with you" stuck in my throat, and I didn't ask in the end.
He retracted his gaze without revealing any trace, and the car drove back into the traffic flow, "I haven't eaten yet at noon, do you want to have a meal with me?"
Mu Chenxi glanced at the time and said to Lu Jingxing: "Next time, I will go to Datang International to apply for a job at two o'clock in the afternoon."
"By the way, did you have anything to do with me yesterday? I put my phone in my bag and didn't hear you when you called me. I didn't see it until I got home. I was going to call you back, but..."
Mu Chenxi thought of yesterday evening, and her heart tightened again.
The fingers holding the bread tightened obviously, and the bread was deformed by her pinching.
"It's nothing. I just returned to Jiangcheng yesterday and saw you on Changjiang Road. I saw you off on the way."
Mu Chenxi nodded, glanced at the front, and said to Lu Jingxing: "You can put me down at the stop sign in front."
"I happen to be working near Datang International in the afternoon. Let's have something to eat together there?"
Lu Jingxing asked warmly.
"good."
When it came to this offer, Mu Chenxi did not refuse.
Lu Jingxing turned at the intersection ahead and called Cheng Feng to arrange a restaurant in advance.
Cheng Feng hung up the phone in confusion.
Why did Mr. Lu suddenly go to Datang International for dinner at this point? Didn't he have to go back to the company for a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon?
It's such a long way around, how can we make it in time?
Cheng Feng complained in his heart while making reservations for the restaurant.
After making the reservation, he sent Lu Jingxing the location and asked, "Mr. Lu, will the afternoon meeting be canceled or moved to a later date?"
"Move back an hour."
Lu Jingxing waited for a reply at the red light and put the phone back as usual.
Forty minutes later, there was a Cantonese restaurant next door to Datang International.
As soon as Lu Jingxing and Mu Chenxi sat down, the dishes were placed on the table.
The last thing served was a soup.
The waiter opened the lid and left. Lu Jingxing filled a bowl and placed it in front of her.
Mu Chenxi took it, and when she saw it was black-bone chicken soup, her eyes turned red, and she thanked her softly, "Thank you."
She lowered her head and slowly took a sip of the soup.
The warm soup slowly entered the throat, but it could not warm a cold heart.
After eating, the two of them walked out one after another.
After leaving the restaurant, Mu Chenxi said goodbye to Lu Jingxing and walked towards Datang International.
After walking a few steps, Lu Jingxing stopped him, "Chen Xi."
"Um?"
Mu Chenxi stopped and turned around.
"Someone among my secretaries felt it was too hard and resigned. Do you want to give it a try?"
"I?"
Mu Chenxi's first reaction was that she had heard wrongly.
When she first met Lu Jingxing, she didn't know his identity. It was only when she started looking for a job that she found out who he really was?
Although his company is not as good as the Fu Group, a group with deep roots in Jiangcheng itself.
However, it is developing rapidly and its strength cannot be underestimated.
Such a large listed company is not within the scope of her current consideration. She will focus on it because she wants to target it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Joining my company will indeed be very tiring——"
Lu Jingxing couldn't tell whether he was relieved or disappointed that Mu Chenxi was unwilling to endure hardship.
Because he just saw Mu Chenxi coming out of the office building in a state of shock.
That's not a state that can be created once or twice.
He knew her situation very well.
After four years of being fostered and completely separated from the workplace, it is difficult to find a job again.
He is obviously a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs, but just when he saw her turning around and secretly cheering him up, he blurted out the words of invitation without thinking.
"I do!" Mu Chenxi interrupted Lu Jingxing hastily.
She walked up to him in two steps and looked up at Lu Jingxing.
At this moment, the Lu Jingxing in front of her looked like the last straw.
She must hold on tight and fight for herself.
"Mr. Lu, I really want to!"
"I'm not afraid of hardship, let alone tiredness! As long as you give me this chance, I won't do it. I will definitely study very hard and I will never let you down."
She was almost desperate in her trough, and her determination to stand up was too strong.
To this end, she will try her best to fight.
…
Mu Chenxi sat on the sofa, her hand lightly holding the suitcase's lever, and her eyes slowly swept over the place where she had lived for four years.
She is saying goodbye to the past.
It’s good to be happy and happy.
Be it sadness or pain.
All will pass.
When she steps out of here, she will bury her past here and start a new life.
