only soft on you

Zhou Tang didn't know what he was thinking, and said to him politely: "The dishes are all served, let's eat first."

Chen Yan's eyes were deep and deep, his mind was ups and downs, and he said 'hmm' without saying much.

He hadn't eaten a good meal for several days, but sitting here now, he wasn't hungry, nor did he have any appetite.He only took a few casual bites of the dishes on the table before putting down his chopsticks.

Zhou Tang looked up at him, "Are these dishes not to your liking? If you don't like them, I'll order them again."

Her tone was soft, with a kind of politeness and euphemism, as if she really wanted to take good care of him.

Chen Yan said in a calm voice, "I've been eating very little for the past few days, and I just don't have an appetite. You don't have to worry about me, just eat your own."

Zhou Tang said slowly, "Did you feel sick to your stomach in the past few days?"

Chen Yan didn't want to explain, just said: "It's just too busy."

"No matter what, you still have to focus on eating, or your body won't be able to bear it."

"Are you caring about me again?" Chen Yan asked casually, his tone was very light, as if he said it casually, but when his voice fell, his eyes fell on Zhou Tang seriously.

Zhou Tang was silent for two seconds and only said: "You have helped me so much, it is normal for me to care about you."

"You know what kind of concern I want. If it's not that kind of concern, you might as well not say or do anything."

Zhou Tang's expression froze for a moment, and he nodded, "Understood. What I said was wrong, sorry."

She continued to follow his words, and even took the initiative to say sorry in a temperless manner.

In fact, she understands where Chen Yan is angry tonight, but the relationship between her and Chen Yan really seems to be cut off. It is obvious that they should not get along frequently, and there is obviously no result, but Chen Yan will bring her and him together again every time.

Chen Yan is really too paranoid and too contradictory.

While constantly looking for opportunities for her to get together with him, he was constantly hurt by her indifference and lack of love, constantly angry and self-deprecating.

Now, is he gradually evolving in the direction of masochism?
Thinking to this point, Zhou Tang couldn't help sighing in his heart, who would have thought that the noble and proud Chen Yan two years ago would be able to humiliate himself to such an extent now.

"It's nothing to be sorry or not to be sorry. It's because I asked too much, and you have nothing to do with it." Chen Yan replied in a calm voice, her eyes no longer resting on her, she just lowered her head and picked up her phone to read the news.

Zhou Tang hesitated to speak, but after some hesitation, he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Chen Yan no longer wanted to move her chopsticks, she couldn't let Chen Yan sit here and wait for her to eat, so she casually ate a few mouthfuls of the food on the table, and then got up to pay the bill.

During the whole process, Chen Yan sat in the same place without moving.

It wasn't until Zhou Tang finished picking up the bill and came back to call Chen Yan to leave that he put away his phone and slowly got up and walked towards her.

The two walked out of the restaurant together, the atmosphere was a little stiff and silent.

It wasn't until he took the elevator to the 12th floor of the apartment and saw that Chen Yan was about to walk towards his door without saying a word, Zhou Tang couldn't help bringing up the purpose of looking for him today, "Chen Yan, I will transfer the rent of my house to you."

Chen Yan subconsciously stopped and looked back at her.

Zhou Tang met his gaze directly, "I already owe you a lot, this time I can't let you pay me the rent, Chen Yan, let me transfer the money to you, please?"

Chen Yan silently stared at her for a while, then suddenly said: "There is no need to transfer the money back. If you really want to return the favor, you can just order my lunch for me during this time."

Zhou Tang frowned subconsciously, and immediately wanted to politely refuse.

How could she accept that she ordered lunch for Chen Yan every day, not to mention that she didn't want to have too much contact with Chen Yan, and if she ordered lunch for Chen Yan every day, it would be easy for her colleagues in the company to misunderstand if they knew about it.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Yan on that occasion.

However, before she could say anything about her refusal, Chen Yan seemed to have seen through her thoughts, smiled slightly ironically, and asked back: "Don't you think you owe me a lot? You don't even want to do this? I just took over Smith's branch company, and people's hearts are not stable. There are a group of people under me who don't accept me. I don't want people to know that I have a stomach problem, and I don't want them to know that I am a sick child. So in terms of diet, I just want to ask you."

As he spoke, he raised his voice slightly, "Just do me a favor, okay?"

Zhou Tang subconsciously choked on the words, and his thoughts kept turning.

She is not very familiar with the situation of the Smige branch. The last time she came here, she was only concentrating on shooting. She didn't pay attention to or learn too much about the rest.

She didn't know what happened to the middle and senior management in the Smige branch, but Chen Yan had indeed parachuted into this branch to become the person in charge, which naturally easily aroused the suspicion and dissatisfaction of those senior management who didn't know him well.

What surprised her was that he was already worried enough about managing the Wansheng Group in China, and there was no need to come to the branch of Smith to practice his skills. Isn't that an overkill!
So what is the purpose of Chen Yan coming to this branch?Is it because of his particularly good relationship with Shi Mige that he wants to help Shi Mige establish this branch thoroughly, or because of the investment, he wants to personally sit in and make the branch profitable, or, he put down the Wansheng Group in China and traveled all the way to this unfamiliar place to take over a company that he should look down on on a daily basis, just because... Want to tie her together?

Zhou Tang thought a lot, and his mood became inexplicably heavy.

After a long time, somehow touched, Zhou Tang said in a low voice, "Okay."

Chen Yan was right, he helped her so much, she shouldn't refuse such a small favor.

Or, blindly avoiding and rejecting Chen Yan may not be a good solution, because Chen Yan is different from ordinary people, he is paranoid and multi-minded, and it is not so easy to get over the stubbornness of the previous feelings, so maybe she really should change the way and accept getting along with Chen Yan calmly.

As a result, Chen Yan found out that Zhou Tang was a lukewarm rock in frequent interactions with her, not as warm and sunny as in high school, and not even similar to the person in his deepest memory. Only in this way, he might be able to gradually lose his feelings for her day by day amidst the stark contrast of disappointment.

"Thank you." Chen Yan didn't know that Zhou Tang had thought about it for a while, and he only felt that the word "good" that Zhou Tang just said just now was finally so pleasant to his ears.

His pale face also eased a little. After thanking Zhou Tang, he continued to move forward, opened the door and went in.

Zhou Tang's thoughts also came and went quickly. After returning to the apartment, she didn't think much about it.

She turned on the computer first and continued to deal with some matters of the photography team, and then began to sort out the matters of entering the Smige branch.
