A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 35 Just because of you (7)
But that being said, his arm didn't intend to let go of me.His breath gently puffed on the side of my neck, the touch was gentle and real, until my phone rang, piercing the silence of this moment sharply.

I hurriedly straightened up, glanced at the caller ID, and pushed the door open, "I'll answer the call."

Shen Qinjun looked at me quietly, didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

This call is something I must take.

Gao Qi's voice was eager and expectant, "Miss Su, I just came back from a meeting in another province. I heard that you are willing to transfer the equity?"

"I've already talked to your lawyer, and we can meet and talk tomorrow."

He obviously couldn't wait any longer, and said urgently: "Miss Su, the shareholders' meeting is held on Friday, so I must see you tonight."

I stood by the side of the street and watched Shen Qinjun sitting in the car with the lights turned on. His outline was gentle and handsome, but his expression was calm and lonely.I took a deep breath, "Okay, where are you?"

After hanging up the phone, I opened the car door, bent over and leaned in. Shen Qinjun turned his eyes and didn't ask about the content of the phone call, just said: "Get in the car."

I forced a smile at him, "Well, a friend is looking for me temporarily, so I won't go home."

He was a little stunned, "Do you want me to take you there?"

"It's not very convenient." I said quickly, "I can just take a taxi."

I didn't dare to look at his expression any more, and I was afraid that he would see something, so I quickly slammed the car door and ran to the side of the road to stop a taxi.Sitting in the back seat, I straightened up and turned my head to look behind me. Shen Qinjun's car was leaving in another direction.

Takasaki personally opened the car door for me, smiled lightly, "Miss Su, it's really a last resort to find you so urgently."

I nodded, "I understand, this is very important."

"We can talk about the specific issues tomorrow." Gao Qi walked beside me and said calmly, "I just want to talk to Ms. Su about the sincerity of cooperation."

"I'm very sincere." I raised the corners of my lips, "The second offer really touched my heart."

"But I heard that the relationship between Miss Su and Shen Qinjun is extraordinary." Gao Qi sat down opposite me, and the middle-aged man showed a sharp look in his eyes, "I thought that a person like Miss Su would not I care about the amount of money."

The waiter wearing a fitted cheongsam embroidered with cherry red embroidery knelt down and filled my porcelain cup with water. I folded my hands on my knees. After a long time, I smiled slightly, "It seems that Mr. Gao has already investigated me."

"I dare not talk about investigation, I can only talk about insurance."

"Then Mr. Gao should also know where the equity in my hand comes from." I said calmly.

"Miss Su's father is a great contributor to Rongwei." Takasaki sighed slightly, "It's a pity."

I collected myself and laughed at myself, "Then you may not know why my parents died."

The corners of his lips sank, and he nodded apologetically, but his eyes were always clear, waiting for my answer.

Regarding this matter, I didn't completely let go of it in my heart, so I could only quickly mention it in two or three sentences.

Gao Qi listened quietly, with a low voice, "Miss Su, I'm really... sorry."

I restrained my emotions, "It's nothing." Then I paused, and said calmly, "Mr. Gao, you also know that I forgot many things because of the car accident. To be honest, just before going to the psychological consultation this afternoon, I I don't intend to contact you at all."

The atmosphere was a little awkward and cold, but looking at Takasaki's expression made him feel relieved.

"I hope to keep a low profile when I'm in touch with you." I continued to make my request, "At least before the shareholders' meeting...don't let him know."

Takasaki laughed, "We have a tacit understanding on this point." He paused, "Miss Su, do you hate him?"

I shook my head blankly, "No... I don't hate him that much. I just..."

I suddenly didn't know how to express it, and I thought for a long time, "I just don't know how to face...a complete break with him."

He looked at me knowingly, "I understand."

"However, Mr. Gao, the equity in my hand was left by my father after all, and I want to treat it with caution. So I want to wait until tomorrow when my financial manager and lawyer are present before discussing the specific details."

"Of course, of course." Takasaki said with a smile, "I am absolutely sincere about the price, and I think Miss Su can see it."

Takasaki sent a car to take me home. I hadn’t eaten all night and my stomach was a bit uncomfortable. The car kept stopping at red lights. Stop here, thank you."

The night breeze was blowing, and I woke up a lot. I bought Kanto brewed coffee at a roadside convenience store, and sat in the store and started talking on the phone.Fortunately, I have a good friend who is a lawyer, so I called Xu Zhuo and briefly explained what happened during this period.

She gasped on the phone, and finally said: "I thought you were filming somewhere! You, you made me a wealthy family!"

I smiled wryly. In just a few days, everything that happened around me was really ups and downs, but now I am really not in the mood to talk to her in detail, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I have to ask you to help negotiate a contract."

Xu Zhuo, who was always fearless, was stunned, and said in embarrassment: "You know, I'm just working as an assistant with those big cows..."

"Didn't you get your lawyer's qualification certificate?" I interrupted her, "That's it, you come and help me check."

Xu Zhuo on the other end of the phone was making up his mind, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to fight. Tell me the specific situation."

While I was eating, I chatted with her about the details. The air-conditioning in the convenience store blew on my shoulders. The clerk behind the counter was drowsy. , the whole street was quiet.My ears were hot from the baking of the phone, Xu Zhuo asked me: "Are you really going to do this?"

"Yeah." I was still stirring the half cup of coffee that was already completely cold, "I've thought it through."

"Okay, you can send me the rest of the information later, and I will study it carefully."

It was almost early morning when I got home, and it was only a short dozen hours since I woke up in the morning, but I felt that it was a long time. I saw some people and the world clearly. The most important thing is , I also saw myself clearly.

The living room was quiet, with only one floor lamp on. Shen Qinjun was half lying on the sofa, and fell asleep with his glasses still on.There were two dishes on the dining table, and I walked over as lightly as possible. The stir-fried lettuce and curry beef were both small portions. Presumably he had already eaten them, so he specially filled half of them and left them for me.

I pulled out the chair and sat down, staring blankly at the two dishes that were far from being well-presented. My stomach was already full, but I still stretched out my chopsticks and took a bite of the dishes.

Before putting it in his mouth, there was a slight movement behind him.

"There is still food in the kitchen." Shen Qinjun's voice was still full of tiredness, "I'll help you get a bowl."

"Are you awake?" I looked at him with lettuce in my mouth, his eyes were still sleepy and his hair was messy, and I got up and walked to the kitchen.

After bringing out a bowl of hot white rice, he sat down opposite me and looked at me with a smile, "Eat slowly."

Originally, I just wanted to taste it a little bit, but I didn't expect Shen Qinjun's craftsmanship to be so good that I couldn't stop tasting it. The beef was a bit cold. If it was served hot, it would be so tender that I could swallow my tongue.

He held his chin and looked at me, "Eat less, it's already late."

After I finished the big bowl of rice and cleaned up the two dishes, he took off his glasses, rolled up his sleeves and started to tidy up.

I was really embarrassed, so I quickly stood up and said, "I'll do it myself."

"It's okay." He turned around, "Girl, it's getting late, you should take a shower and go to bed. I still have documents to read anyway, so it's good to wake up."

It would be hypocritical to fight against him again. I leaned against the kitchen door and watched him roll up his sleeves and start to turn on the water.

"Don't you ask me where I went?" I looked at his back and asked tentatively.

"Going to see a friend?" He said gently without looking back, "I've been asking you to go out as little as possible during this time, and you're almost fine now."

He was wearing home clothes and slippers, and he didn't look aggressive from top to bottom. He lowered his head and was serious about washing the dishes.I looked at his back, obviously very sleepy, but I don't know why, I would rather lean so sleepily and look at his back, even without saying a word.

"Are you sure about the shareholder meeting on Friday?" I asked with a small yawn.

"Will you support me?" He still didn't look back and asked.

I hesitated for a moment, then gave a vague "hmm".

He turned his head and paused for a moment with deep eyes on my face: "Then what else do I have to worry about?"

Suddenly I couldn't bear such trust, I rubbed my eyes and said, "Then I'm going to sleep upstairs, and you should go to bed early too."

Perhaps it was because of my determination that I slept very peacefully this time. I had no dreams until the morning, and I got up automatically and consciously before the alarm clock rang.Shen Qinjun still left the house earlier than me, so I tidied up a bit and went out to find Xu Zhuo.

There is only one KFC around the neighborhood where our shared house is located. Xu Zhuo didn’t sleep all night, rushed in with red eyes holding his computer, and yelled, “Buy me a cup of coffee”.

"Is it okay if you don't go to work today?"

"Bai Xi, let me tell you, I also need a commission for this case!" She said aggressively, "I'm going to risk it all. Anyway, now that you are so rich, I will rely on you to become famous."

I looked at her with black lines all over my head, lacking confidence, "You know what we are doing, right? Offending him won't do any good."

"I know." She said confidently, "but I don't think you did anything wrong."
