What do you want in life

Chapter 70 Don't Want to Lose Your Smile (21)
Violence slowly faded from Li Zhen's eyes. He was struggling between belief and disbelief, forgiveness and unwillingness. Xiaoying was moved by that conflicted expression. She felt that she was about to touch his truest side. She tried to He stretched out his hand and slowly approached him——

However, at this moment, her mobile phone rang suddenly, first in the living room, and soon the sound was close at hand, she turned her head and saw Xiaozhi standing at the door holding her mobile phone, staring timidly at her parents standing in the room , "Mom, your phone."

Xiaoying hadn't reacted yet, but Li Zhen's complexion changed a few times. She stepped over first, grabbed the phone from Xiaozhi's hand, glanced at the prompt on the screen, and began to breathe heavily, but he still Desperately pressed the answer button.

At this time, apart from Shen Juncheng who would call, Xiaoying couldn't think of anyone else, and the sudden change in Li Zhen's face also confirmed this for her. She closed her eyes subconsciously, feeling a little desperate and self-defeating in her heart. smell.

Shen Juncheng's anxious voice came from the receiver, "Did Li Zhen make things difficult for you?"

Xiaoying couldn't hear, and could only judge in vain what Shen Juncheng might say from Li Zhen's ashen complexion.

Li Zhen didn't say a word, the hand holding the mobile phone slowly slipped from his ear, but did not hang down, his arm drew an arc in the air, and the beautiful pink mobile phone fell towards the wall. To pieces!
Li Zhen ran out of the door like crazy, and soon, Xiaoying heard the thrilling sound of the door closing, which was deafening.

The moment Li Zhen rushed out, Xiaozhi was frightened by a strong wind and fell to the ground. At this moment, he was supporting the ground with both hands, looking at his stunned mother in horror.

Enduring the desolation in her heart, Xiaoying walked over and picked up her son, holding her tightly in her arms.

"Mom..." Xiaozhi put his arms around his mother's neck and murmured, completely at a loss.

Tears flowed down Xiaoying's cheeks and fell on Xiaozhi's immature shoulders in strings. She pressed her mouth firmly on her son's shoulders to hide her sobs.

She no longer wanted to care about where Li Zhen was going, but was thinking sadly about a question, how long would such a day last?
After coaxing Xiaozhi to sleep, Xiaoying dragged her tired body to the study next door to clean up the broken items on the floor.

She opened the door and went downstairs, intending to throw the bag of garbage directly into the garbage bin outside the building opening, so as not to be eye-catching.

She had just walked downstairs, and through the glass door of the building, she saw Shen Juncheng standing outside the door smoking a cigarette by the flowerbed. He was facing the opening sideways, looking up from time to time, with a hesitant expression.

Xiaoying stood by the door in a daze, unable to tell what it was like, but she couldn't walk out anymore.

Shen Juncheng lowered his eyes by chance, and found that there was someone inside the glass door, but they were still. He calmed down a little, saw the outline clearly, and the expression on his face became hesitant.

The two looked at each other through the door, as if they were struggling in two worlds. The fusion of water and fire made people want to go crazy, but also feared that the torment of the two heavens of ice and fire would burn each other.

A resident pressed the password to enter the door, and when he passed by Xiaoying, he glanced at her curiously.

The glass door closed slowly, and the moment it was about to close, a hand grabbed it in time, and Shen Juncheng walked in.

The tears on Xiaoying's face were dry, but her red and swollen eyes could not hide the fact that she was crying.

He came over and stared at her intently.

The heat generated when he pushed over woke Xiaoying awake. Before he could speak, she quickly took two steps back and explained hastily, "I, I'm going to take out the trash..." Turning around, she ran towards the door go.

When she turned back after throwing out the trash, she found Shen Juncheng standing inside the door looking at herself. She was suddenly in a daze. In just a few seconds, they exchanged each other's worlds, but they still couldn't coexist in the same space. Isn't that true? Is it their fate?

She was confused by the confused thoughts she had for a moment, and she had to take two deep breaths to confirm that she was capable of dealing with it before walking in again.

"Why did you come here?" She tried her best to smile, trying to whitewash the peace.

There was no smile on Shen Juncheng's face, "I'm worried about you."

A short sentence was enough to make Xiaoying's breathing become disordered again. She frowned, pinched the center of her brows, lowered her head and walked towards the elevator entrance, "I'm fine, you go back!"

Shen Juncheng followed her closely, "Did you guys quarrel? What about Li Zhen? I want to have a good talk with him!"

"What do you want to talk about?" Xiaoying looked at him warily.

The corner of Shen Juncheng's mouth twitched, "Don't you think he has been avoiding me? But there are some problems that cannot be solved without talking about them."

"Stop meddling in our business!"

"If there's nothing wrong between you, I can't do anything even if I want to intervene!"

Xiaoying suddenly became angry, and turned around at the elevator entrance, "Shen Juncheng, do you understand that we have been on good terms before, and it was because of your appearance that Li Zhen treated me..."

She closed her eyes, and finally couldn't bear to shoot at him, "Forget it, don't talk about it, you can go now, I don't want him to have any misunderstandings."

She raised her hand and pressed the elevator button.

Shen Juncheng did not move, stared at her profile, and said slowly: "If he is confident enough, if he trusts you enough, he will not be what he is now! The first time I met him after I came to H City, I found out Something is wrong with him! Xiaoying, he has never trusted you in all these years!"

"That's between me and him, don't worry about it." Xiaoying stared at the beating numbers in the elevator and replied coldly.

Shen Juncheng's emotions suddenly became agitated, "I really don't understand, why do you follow him so beggingly, just because you married him? Do you have to endure his torture?"

"Then what do you think I should do?" Xiaoying asked angrily, "Don't tell me you have to dismantle my home to be satisfied?"

The elevator came down, the door opened, and Xiaoying stepped in without looking back.

Shen Juncheng followed closely, grabbed her arm, and dragged her around, facing him, his fiery eyes lingered on her face, but the words that came out of his lips were vicious, "Yes !I want you to leave him! I don't want you to have a good time with him! I will be very happy if you divorce!"

"Pa—" A crisp slap slapped Shen Juncheng's cheek resoundingly, stopping his devilish spell and dispelling Xiaoying's anger. Neither of them spoke anymore, they just looked at each other blankly .

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xiaoying looked at the clear five-fingerprints on Shen Juncheng's face, feeling remorse and pain, she couldn't help reaching out her hand, wanting to smooth it out for him.

Shen Juncheng grabbed the hand that was pressing on his face in time. After so many years, the temperature in her palm still didn't increase at all, which always gave him the urge to help her keep warm.

"Do you know what kind of life I have lived in the past three years? Every time I think of you being with someone else, I will, I will..." Shen Juncheng's voice suddenly became hoarse, "I'll call you, You hung up without saying anything. I thought and thought in the office, should I come to you... But I still came... There was once a thing that I couldn't figure out—why the more I If you work hard, it will get farther away from you?"

Xiaoying felt sore in her heart, she turned her face away and dared not look at him.

"Just now, I stood downstairs and thought for a long time, and I finally found the answer." He held her hand in his palm, his eyes seemed to come from hell, tormenting Xiaoying and tempting her at the same time, "I Losing you again and again, just because... I'm not selfish enough!"

Xiaoying suddenly had difficulty breathing.

The elevator stopped and the door opened, but it was not the floor Xiaoying wanted to go to. She stood blankly in the silent corridor. The winter afternoon was as long as a dream.

And Shen Juncheng's whisper in her ear was more like coming through a dream, "Come with me, Xiaoying, don't let me just watch you by the side forever, this time, I will never Leave you alone..."

"No! No!" Xiaoying panicked, as if such a real temptation came from the bottom of her heart, she instinctively wanted to resist, "No! I can't let Xiaozhi have no father!"

"I will treat Xiaozhi as my own son!"

"You're crazy!" Xiaoying yelled at him, "This, this is not fair to Li Zhen at all!"

Shen Juncheng gritted his teeth, "Then it's fair for him to insult you, rape you, and tie you at home? Xiaoying, a person's nature is hard to change. After you bear him once or twice, it will be indefinitely Bear it! One day, you will still leave him!"

Xiaoying shook her head in pain, "No, I can't blame him... He wasn't like this before, and he, he didn't want to be like this..."

"Even now, you still speak for him!" Shen Juncheng glared at her angrily.

"He became what he is today because of me..." Xiaoying blurted out with difficulty but could no longer restrain herself: "Because he knows that I still love you!"

Shen Juncheng was completely shocked!

A sudden wave swept him in an extremely turbulent posture. He opened his arms and hugged Xiaoying in his arms forgetfully, but his eyes gradually became moist.

A place in his heart collapsed, and the tide gushed out and flooded wantonly, so he understood that in this life, he would never escape her control, no matter where he was.

Xiaoying's suppressed sobs gradually became clear from his arms. He hugged her tightly, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"Juncheng, do you remember? In the hospital this morning... I said, I have something to tell you..." Xiaoying suppressed her sobs and said intermittently.

Shen Juncheng nodded awkwardly, "Yes, you said..."

Xiaoying raised her head from his arms, Langji's face was gloomy, "I hope you can...promise me one thing..."

"You said... no matter what it is, as long as it is what you want... I can promise you!" He replied calmly, the tide slowly receding in his heart, and he felt that he was also drifting backward with the tide , farther and farther away from her.

Sadness gradually appeared on Xiaoying's face, "If possible, please... get out of here... okay?"

Shen Juncheng stared at her face and didn't speak for a long while, his heart was very heavy and very quiet.

"Okay... I promise you." He finally said with a smile.

Xiaoying's tears broke the embankment, pouring down from both ends of her cheeks frantically.

The last glass of red wine was swallowed by Li Zhen, and a blush appeared on his normally fair face uncontrollably.

"Is there any wine?" He shook the wine bottle and asked Zhou Ting who was sitting opposite him impatiently.

"Boss, you can't drink any more." Zhou Ting hurriedly hid a bottle of fruit wine that she ordered for herself under the table, mixing the two kinds of wine would make her even more drunk.

Li Zhen watched her move to hide the wine, and reached out to stop her, but he was a step too late. His hand was empty, but he was not annoyed, and actually lowered his head and laughed twice.

"Just now, we, where did we talk?" He frowned hard, trying to recall, "Oh, yes, talking about Xiaoying..." His face darkened again, "She will leave me sooner or later... I have this hunch..."

This is the second time Zhou Ting saw Li Zhen lose his composure in front of her. She felt very sad. This kind of sadness even covered up the helplessness when she saw it for the first time. There were also some emotions that she could not recognize clearly .

"Stop thinking about it," she tried to comfort him, but she couldn't get rid of the old-fashioned cliché, "It's common for husband and wife to quarrel, not to mention your relationship for so many years, and a lovely child... "

"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Zhen shouted at her suddenly violently, leaned forward suddenly, and rushed towards Zhou Ting with a flushed face. bit.

"I don't need any sympathy, yours, or hers! What I want is that she stays by my side in peace and contentment, willingly, not because I am married to her, or we already have a child!"

His excited expression gradually subsided in front of Zhou Ting's aggrieved red eyes, he became more sober, and drooped his head, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you, I really, really..."

Zhou Ting raised her arm to wipe her eyes, she suddenly felt extremely impatient, "The matter between your husband and wife has nothing to do with me! Why are you telling me this! You love her so much, why can't you talk to her?" Sit down and talk about it!"

After the words rushed out of her mouth, she suddenly realized that there was a sour smell in her tone. She was terrified, what happened to herself?
She remembered the scene where she cried so much in Li Zhen's car on the day she broke up with her. At that time, he silently waited for her to relieve her depression, without feeling tired at all.Thinking of this, a burst of guilt surged in her heart, followed by a burst of anger. Could it be that the reason he comforted herself back then was to relieve his pressure in the same way today?
no no!She denied herself repeatedly in her heart, she couldn't guess him with such a dark mind!
Her eyes turned back to Li Zhen again, he bent his arms on the messy table, his whole face was buried in the crook of his arms, he couldn't see the expression on his face, only felt that he was very lonely at this moment.

Zhou Ting's heart suddenly became sour again. If they are like this, can they be considered sympathetic?
She used to be complacent about how he took care of her quietly, and felt flattered that he would tell her about the troubles in the family affairs to her, but when all this settled down, her mind was more lingering, with a little Bitterness is not the taste, just like what she tasted at this moment.

Perhaps, on the evening when she decided to confide in him, or even earlier—from the moment he helped her bandage the wound, her feelings for him were no longer as simple as that of an ordinary employee to her boss. His eyes have changed since then.

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, put away her chaotic thoughts, tidied up briefly, and wanted to leave here.

"Mr. Li, I'm leaving first." Without looking at him again, she picked up the small backpack on the seat, got up and walked towards the door of the box.

There was no movement behind her, she put her hand on the doorknob, finally couldn't hold it back, turned her head and glanced at him secretly.

Li Chen still maintained his original posture lying motionless on the table, he looked like a helpless baby, no matter how hard-hearted a woman was, she probably wouldn't have the heart to leave him alone.

Zhou Ting let out a sigh of relief, and it was this last glance that made her heart soften completely.

In another corner of the city, in a brand new office building, Shen Juncheng was sitting in a soft leather chair, looking at the monotonous scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, smoking one cigarette after another.

He was not sitting at the desk, but sitting in the chair across the table for entertaining guests, just like a subordinate who was meeting himself, but he didn't need to respectfully rush to the big man behind the desk to pretend to listen to the teachings.

When someone knocks on the door, you can tell who it is by listening to the rhythm.

"Come in." He replied without turning his head.

It was indeed Xiao Yuxin who came in. She did not approach as smoothly as in the past, but stood jerky by the door, as if she was unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. In fact, everything here was cultivated by herself.

"Boss Shen, are you looking for me?" Even the tone was very polite.

Shen Juncheng sat in the chair and turned around, nodded to her, "Come and sit, I have something to discuss with you."

Yu Xin hesitated for a moment, followed his words cautiously, took a seat in the chair he designated, and waited silently for him to speak.

Being so close, the smell of smoke became stronger, Yu Xin frowned slightly, he had never smoked so fiercely before.

Seeing this, Shen Juncheng quickly extinguished the cigarette butt between his fingers in the ashtray at the corner of the table, got up and opened the window, before turning around, he said leisurely: "I walked around the factory area in the evening, and there were many The places are almost the same, and the details are also well done, this time it is really hard for you."

This kind of praise Yu Xin heard too much, and it didn't cause ripples in her heart, but Shen Juncheng's opening in such a warm way still made her tense face calm down imperceptibly.

Shen Juncheng was not in a hurry to return to his seat. He leaned against the window and turned his head to look at Yu Xin, "If I hand over the factory here to you, do you have confidence?"

Yu Xin was taken aback, and raised her head to meet him in astonishment, "Boss Shen, you, what do you mean?"

Shen Juncheng didn't look at her, and stared quietly out of the window with a bit of blankness in his eyes, "I don't plan to stay here for too long, once I find a suitable candidate, I will leave immediately."

"But that's not what you said before you came here!" Yu Xin stood up unknowingly, "You said that you would focus on building this factory in City H, and you also said that you would do it yourself..."

"I've changed my mind." He interrupted her lightly, no clues could be seen on his indifferent face.

Yu Xin became excited, "Why? You said that you would gradually shift the focus of Shen's to City H, so we did so much planning and deployment before we came, and we spent so much time getting through all the links after we came! Now It will enter the operation stage soon, why do you want to leave suddenly?"

Shen Juncheng approached her, sat down slowly opposite her, his eyes were unwavering, "Yu Xin, my departure does not mean that our previous efforts are in vain, the strategy formulated before will not change, and everything here will go according to the original plan. It’s just that I won’t be directly involved.”

He stretched out his hand to support his chin, his expression finally mixed with a trace of weariness, "Don't ask me why, just answer me, whether you want to or not."

"I..." Yu Xin was in a turmoil. Being able to independently run a promising factory is naturally her biggest long-cherished wish for many years. Shen Juncheng must have known this for a long time, and he would trust herself so much at this moment. Isn't she Not impressed.

But being alone also means that she will be separated from Shen Juncheng, which goes against her original intention of joining the Shen family.

Even though she has already understood Shen Juncheng's secret, it is not easy to fall in love with someone, and it is even more difficult to get rid of this person from her heart. Her heart is strong and strong, and she can only do it day after day. Suffering slowly in the pain of the pain, but still reluctant to leave him and leave gracefully.

"What if I say I don't want to?" She suddenly wanted to test his bottom line, which was something she had never dared to try before, "Are you going to kick me out just because of this?"

Shen Juncheng smiled, his lonely expression remained the same, after all, he added a bit of tenderness, maybe he was moved by the rare childishness on her face, "No, Yu Xin, you can do whatever you want."
