give me years of peace

Chapter 115 It's Time to Wake Up
Du Anran didn't know how to spend that afternoon.I always feel that in a daze, even the sky is not so blue.

As Xie Chenjin said, a few kind words from Xin Zimo could make her happy.The same is true, a few nice words from Xin Zimo can also make Chi Xue happy.

Should she admire him, or should she laugh at herself.

That afternoon, if she hadn't forgotten the task Xie Chenjin gave her, she would have left early on the grounds of feeling unwell.She is always avoiding, but in fact, she can face it completely.

The reception went peacefully, and at the end, as Xie Chenjin said, Xin Zimo did not go back to the villa with her, but let her go first.

Du Anran put the bug that had been prepared long ago in his pocket. She still couldn't forget the pain that Xin Zimo had given her, the heart-piercing pain.

She should have woken up long ago.

"Drank a lot of bars today?" Xin Zimo made a serious face when he sent her to the car.

"No...just a few cups..." Du Anran felt a little guilty, she lowered her head, but fortunately Xin Zimo didn't notice.

"I'll forgive you today, do you feel sick to your stomach?"

"It's okay, a few glasses of wine are fine."

"You and Uncle Chen go back obediently, don't wait for me, it's cold in winter, remember to put on the quilt when you sleep at night, I'll go back and check."

"Got it, got it." Du Anran pushed him, "I'm not a child."

"It's good to know." Xin Zimo lowered his head and secretly kissed her on the cheek when she was not paying attention.

Du Anran was caught off guard and did not have time to hide. Xin Zimo smiled as if she had succeeded, fastened her seat belt, closed the car door, and then let Uncle Chen drive her to the Strait Villa in peace.

"Miss Du, it can be seen that Mr. Xin likes you very much." Uncle Chen smiled gratifiedly as he looked at the pair of children as if he were his own.

"No..." Du Anran didn't know how to explain to Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen hadn't returned to China for many years, of course he didn't know what happened in China.

"I don't think people will miss you." Uncle Chen said with a cheerful smile, "I have seen a lot of women around Mr. Xin, but liking someone is completely different from being perfunctory about someone."

"You don't understand..." Du Anran shook his head, "He doesn't like me, it's impossible for him to like me."

"No, no, don't think too much about it. If you like it, you like it. You don't need to attach extra conditions. Sometimes it's just a look." Uncle Chen said while driving.

Maybe it was a fan of the authorities, but Du Anran didn't know the difference between Xin Zimo's eyes when he looked at her and when he looked at others.

"Besides, this Straits Villa, it's the first time I've seen Mr. Xin let a woman spend the night in it."

"He doesn't come to London much, which is normal."

"He said you were his wife, and it was the first time I heard him say the word 'wife'."

Du Anran didn't know how to refute. If Uncle Chen knew that he also called her "Madam" in those two years, would he stop saying such things.

In the shopping mall, shouldn't we learn to be eloquent?
"Miss Du, I think there seems to be some unspeakable secret or some kind of grievance in your heart. In fact, with this layer of grievance, you will not be able to look at the problem comprehensively and objectively. But if you let it go, maybe it will be another village."

"I don't know, I'm in a mess."

During this period of time, her heart has been very disturbed. In the past, it was mostly heartache and heartbreak, but now, her heart is more disturbed.

She didn't know where the chaos came from, and she didn't know how to cut off the thousands of threads.

"I also hope that he can be happy. He has been wronged too much these years." Uncle Chen shook his head and said bitterly, "He is with you. It can be seen that he is very happy."

The pool of still water in Du Anran's heart was completely disturbed by Uncle Chen, happy... Then, what about her...

"Miss Du, learn to let go. I think Mr. Xin used to be too reluctant to let go, and has been depressed. This time I saw him and saw a smile on his face. I am really relieved."

"Uncle Chen, do you know Chi Xue?" Du Anran recalled what happened during the day and afternoon.

"I recognize you, the youngest daughter of the Chi family. She is very sensible." Uncle Chen said, "The family used to see me several times when they were in England."

"Actually... She and Xin Zimo are more suitable. She likes Xin Zimo, and Xin Zimo also likes her."

"Really?" Uncle Chen was noncommittal and did not discuss further.

The car suddenly became quiet, and Du Anran didn't want to talk about people and things related to Xin Zimo.Uncle Chen, after being silent for a long time, sighed and said, "Mr. Xin is in London. Mr. Xin has been here for several days, but he didn't go to see it. Over the years, Mr. Xin's character has not changed at all, and he refuses to accept it easily." Bow your head."

"Mr. Xin?" Du Anran asked in confusion, she had never heard Xin Zimo mention it.Of course, in the past two years with Xin Zimo, he hid himself very deeply, and she knew very little about him.

"Mr. Xin didn't mention it to you? Oh, it's nothing." Uncle Chen probably realized that he had talked too much, so he prevaricated carelessly.

Du Anran didn't continue to ask, she didn't need to know too much about him, the intersection between them would not be far away.Someday soon, perhaps, they will never see each other again.

When Uncle Chen sent her to the villa, Liu Wanwan called Du Anran, and Du Anran walked upstairs while answering her call.

"Wanwan, international calls are very expensive." Du Anran laughed.

"People miss you, don't they?"

"I miss you too. I really don't know when I can go back to China."

"Your boss is really serious. It's almost Chinese New Year when you are a girl going abroad on business."

"For work, you have to obey the arrangement." Du Anran didn't dare to tell Liu Wanwan that he was working at Xin's and Xin Zimo's side, otherwise, with Liu Wanwan's personality, he really didn't know what he would do.

"By the way, Sister An Ran, Shaonan has not been in good health recently and was admitted to the hospital again..." Liu Wanwan felt a little disappointed.

"Is the situation serious? He has no one to take care of him after he returns to China. Help me take care of him so that he doesn't tire me too much at work." Du Anran worried.

"The situation is not very serious, old problem. But you are right, since you left him, he has put his whole body into his work, working hard day and night, after all, he is also the president."

"He doesn't cherish himself too much..." Du Anran felt very guilty, she still owed Jin Shaonan a love.

"Sister Anran..." Liu Wanwan hesitated to speak, "You... find a chance to start over with Shaonan after you return to China. It can be seen that he really likes you."

"Wanwan..." Du Anran stood on the stairs overlooking the hall of the villa.

She works in the Xin family, works in Xin Zimo's office, and now lives in his villa... What qualifications does she have to return to Jin Shaonan's side, she is not worthy of anyone...

The crystal lights in the hall are shining brightly.As she watched, her eyes became blurred...

"Wanwan, help me take care of Shaonan, and the rest... Let's talk about it later."

"Sister Anran..." Liu Wanwan didn't force Du Anran, although she didn't know what unspeakable difficulties Du Anran had, what happened between her and Jin Shaonan.

"Wanwan, I'm going to take a shower first, let's talk when we have time, maybe I can go back in a few days!"

"Yeah, Sister An Ran, you have to take care of your health when you are abroad. Goodbye."

Du Anran leaned tiredly on the railing of the stairs, and slowly lay down on the railing.

That night, Du Anran was a little confused and his mind was in chaos.In a daze, she took a shower, and then lay in her bed in a daze.

Looking at the bedroom that Xin Zimo had prepared for her, it was all in the style and things she liked, and she vaguely thought of the Huxin Island Villa, the residence he gave her.

She smiled bitterly, and closed her eyes in a daze.

In her sleep, she dreamed of many things and many people, and she remembered that on the day Shihe went bankrupt, Xin Zimo brought people to buy Shihe.

She wanted to cry but had no tears, struggling to restore all this, but there was nothing she could do.

In the dream, she was clutching the quilt, and tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

At midnight, it seems very late.When everything was silent, she was suddenly awakened by a strong smell of alcohol.

"An Ran, don't leave me..."

"Are you drunk?" Du Anran woke up and wanted to turn on the light, but Xin Zimo grabbed her arm.

He desperately pressed her body and hugged her, making her unable to move.

He was so drunk that Du Anran could smell the strong smell of alcohol, as well as the faint smell of perfume on his body.

She knew that he had a good capacity for alcohol, and that he drank like this, and she didn't know whether he met a master or got himself drunk.

"Get up first, I'll change your clothes." Du Anran tried to push him away.

However, the more she tried to push him away, the tighter he hugged her.

"Don't go...don't leave me..." He closed his eyes, repeating in her ear like a raving.

"I won't go, I won't go..." Du Anran coaxed him, she didn't know what happened tonight.

He pressed her hands and kissed her earlobes and neck.

"No, get up!" Du Anran avoided his kiss, she couldn't see him clearly in the dark, and he couldn't see her clearly either.She didn't want to be entangled with him like this...

However, the more she avoided, the more his kisses came oncoming like dense rain.His kiss was hot and rough, lacking the tenderness it should have.

When Du Anran touched his hand, it was as hot as his kiss.She didn't dare to move, but she had to refuse him.She thought of Jin Shaonan, Liu Wanwan, and her mother... She told her mother that she was not that kind of woman, and she only needed a certain amount of time before she could leave Xin Zimo.

"An Ran...you won't leave me, right..." Xin Zimo kissed her like crazy, until she couldn't breathe.His hands held her tightly, as if he would lose her as soon as he let go.
