In the old apartment, the lights in the corridor were not on, and would occasionally flash. Although Jiang Ruoxi was used to walking up such stairs, she still accidentally missed the step while wearing high heels and fell into the cold air.
's arms.
"I really don't see what's good about this shabby apartment." Leng Yan mocked, then picked her up by the waist and walked downstairs step by step with steady steps.
Jiang Ruoxi put her arms around his neck, "Am I heavy?"
Would it be very tiring for him to walk five floors with her in his arms?
Leng Yan said nothing.
"I can walk by myself." Jiang Ruoxi continued.
Her response was still silence.
"I will be careful." Jiang Ruoxi retracted her hand from around his neck and continued.
"Shut up." Leng Yan said coldly.
Jiang Ruoxi didn't speak until she got downstairs.
Leng Yan carried her to the car, opened the passenger door, and said, "Get in the car!"
Jiang Ruoxi got into the car and saw him driving on the road, but it was in the opposite direction of the apartment.
"Aren't we going back?" Jiang Ruoxi asked in a low voice, fearing that he was still angry.
Leng Yan slowed down the car, "Go back now? Do you want to make dinner for me?"
Jiang Ruoxi stuck out her tongue. Even if she answered that she wanted to do it, the refrigerator in the apartment would have been empty.
"Aren't you hungry?" Leng Yan's car turned into the parking lot of a restaurant, and after getting out of the car, he asked her calmly.
"Well, I haven't had much appetite lately." Jiang Ruoxi shook her head.
Leng Yan glanced at her and said, "If you don't have an appetite, you don't need to eat." Then he walked into the restaurant.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at his back, "Did I offend you again?" She pursed her lips and walked in.
The two of them sat facing each other by the window, and Leng Yanke ordered a set meal for her.
Leng Yan was cutting the steak in front of him and drinking red wine, while Jiang Ruoxi looked at the meal in front of her and had no appetite at all, just drinking juice.
"If you don't eat now, if you get hungry in the middle of the night, there won't be anything to eat at home." Leng Yan half-forced her.
Jiang Ruoxi cut the steak and as soon as she put it in her mouth, she felt a discomfort in her stomach. She was about to vomit it up, but when she met Leng Yan's gaze, she had to pick up the juice on the side and eat it hard.
"Is the top steak here so delicious?" Leng Yan looked at her unable to eat and asked.
"No, it's just that I really don't want to eat." Jiang Ruoxi pushed the plate in front of her away from her.
Leng Yan drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, "Forget it if you don't want to eat it, let's go!"
Jiang Ruoxi put down the cup in her hand, "Okay."
The two of them had just walked to the door when they bumped into Ye Zilin. She was startled when she looked at Leng Yan's hand around Jiang Ruoxi's waist.
Last night, when he disappeared, was he going to pick up Jiang Ruoxi? Today, as soon as he finished the meeting, he didn't even say a word because he went to find Jiang Ruoxi.
"President, madam, what a coincidence!" Ye Zilin spoke first.
Leng Yan looked at her and nodded slightly, "Well, why are you so late?"
"I work overtime at the company." Ye Zilin said with a smile, but her smile was bitter.
She said this on purpose, she wanted him to know that he was with another woman, and because of him, she had to work overtime at the company so late to have dinner.
"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest early!" Leng Yan turned to the waiter in the restaurant and said, "Zilin's dinner will also be charged to my account."
When Jiang Ruoxi looked up, she saw Ye Zilin's slightly hostile eyes.
Ye Zilin watched Leng Yan and Jiang Ruoxi walking towards the garage, her eyes becoming vicious and filled with hatred.
Is this what she wants? Does she need him to pay for a dinner? Why does he never understand what she wants?
She just wanted him, she just wanted him to be by her side, but he didn't understand.
Did he have any intention? After staying with him for so many years, he had always just accepted, but never given with intention.
Is Jiang Ruoxi the only one who made him use his heart?
He was so busy that he had no time, so he sent her to the resort. He missed her, so he picked her up in person. He ate with her and sent her to school in person.
He unknowingly did so much for Jiang Ruoxi, and he didn't know it himself! He said Jiang Ruoxi was just a pawn in his career. Did he treat her as a pawn? He regarded her as his wife.
.
She didn't turn around until the car was far away from Ye Zilin's sight.
"Miss Ye, please." The waiter led her into the restaurant. After walking a few steps, Ye Zilin suddenly stopped. The next second, she left the restaurant.
In the wine, Ye Zilin sat on the edge of the stage, pouring one glass after another into her mouth. Under the dazzling lights and the sound of heavy metal music, she didn't know how much she drank, but she still kept drinking.
drink.
Jiang Ruoxi returned to the apartment and said, "Make me a cup of coffee." Leng Yan walked into the study without saying anything.
Jiang Ruoxi took off her coat, put it on the sofa, walked into the kitchen, made coffee for him, and opened the refrigerator. Except for a few bottles of drinks, it was empty.
During the time she was away, he probably never came back to live there? For him, this is not a home, but a place where he only comes back once in a while if he wants to.
Ye Zilin's eyes contained too obvious hostility. Jiang Ruoxi should be able to understand her thoughts, but was her performance too obvious? And was Leng Yan too indifferent? What was going on between them?
What kind of relationship?
"Does it take so long to make a cup of coffee?" As soon as Leng Yan walked to the kitchen door, he saw Jiang Ruoxi standing there in a daze.
Jiang Ruoxi came back to her senses and turned off the coffee machine, "Oh, it'll be ready soon." She hurriedly took the coffee cup, took the coffee pot, poured the coffee into the cup, and handed it to him, "Yours
coffee."
Leng Yan still crossed his arms and did not reach out to pick it up, "Help me take it to the bedroom."
"Eh?" Jiang Ruoxi thought she heard wrong, "Aren't you in the study?"
"As soon as you come back, do I have to live in the study room?" Leng Yan did this on purpose.
Jiang Ruoxi put down her coffee cup, "You can live wherever you like, and you can drink the coffee yourself." After saying that, she pushed him away hard and walked into the bedroom.
Leng Yan looked at her back and raised the corners of his lips, "She has a good temper after not seeing her for a few days!"
When Leng Yan walked into the bedroom, he saw Jiang Ruoxi lying on the bed covered with quilt, but he just stood at the door. After taking a look, he turned and walked into the study.
He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking coffee, when suddenly his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller number on it and said, "Hello."
"Yan, you don't want me anymore, do you?" Ye Zilin said drunkenly, whimpering.
Leng Yan listened to the noise and music coming from the phone, "Zilin, where are you?"
"Do you still care about me? Aren't you making out with Jiang Ruoxi now? Do you want to know where I am?" Ye Zilin said with a chuckle.
"Tell me, where are you?" Leng Yan frowned and asked coldly.
