What do you want in life

Chapter 72 Don't Want to Lose Your Smile (23)
She turned to face him, raised her hand to stroke his cheek, then leaned over and kissed him actively.

She didn't have any regrets in her heart, because she suddenly found that she was so willing to dedicate herself to him, even if he could only get a short-term pleasure.

The kiss stirred up the hotness hidden in Li Chen's body, he couldn't remain indifferent, as soon as his mind got hot, he hugged her tightly and kissed back passionately.

He felt her hands groping on his chest, and the buttons of his shirt were clumsily undone one by one.

The fire continued to burn in his body, he couldn't hold back, he turned back and pressed her on the sofa, narrowed his eyes and stared at her, "No regrets?"

Zhou Ting choked. At this moment, how could she be sober? She refused to answer, but used more violent actions to prove her sincerity to him.

Her half-naked delicate body had already appeared on the sofa, in front of Li Zhen, but he stopped abruptly, stared at her for a few seconds, then straightened up, and gently covered her clothes.

He sat with his elbows on his knees, rubbing his face vigorously, trying to wake himself up, "I'm sorry..."

Zhou Ting was very injured, lying on the sofa, unable to move for a long time, tears slowly hanging down the corners of her eyes.

When he was awake enough, Li Zhen turned his head, wiped off the moisture on her face, wrapped her tightly with the quilt she took out just now, picked her up with the quilt, and walked towards the room.

"Am I that bad?" Her eyes were red and she was wronged like a child.

He was speechless, his face had already returned to his usual expression, and he was extremely guilty and gentle.He carried her to the bed and hugged her tightly through the quilt, "Sleep well, I'm leaving."

She grinned and began to cry.

He had just stood up, but now he had to sit back and wipe her tears like coaxing a child, "Don't cry, me, I'm not leaving, okay?"

Tired of crying, she finally fell into a deep sleep with tears still on her face.

Li Zhen stood beside her bed silently, looking at her simple and clean cheeks, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Does he like her?
It would be false to say there is none at all.

But his liking for her was so dark that no one could tell. He helped her against the principle, approached her, and never tired of it, just because he wanted to chase Xiaoying's shadow in her.

However, just now, when he occupied her with an evil mentality of wanting to destroy her, he saw clearly that she was not Han Xiaoying or Han Xiaoying's shadow, but Zhou Ting.

At six o'clock in the morning, Xiaoying heard the sound of unlocking the gate. No need to ask, it was Li Zhen who came back.

She was hesitating on the bed, undecided whether to go out to greet him, and strike up a few words by the way.

Li Zhen didn't come back all night. Logically, as a wife, she should take the initiative to question him a few times, but for some reason, she couldn't arouse her interest at all.

Xiaozhi turned over on the bed, his chubby legs rested on her stomach, and continued to sleep snoringly without opening his eyes.

There were rustling sounds from outside the room. Li Zhen seemed to be washing in the bathroom. She hesitated again and again, removed Xiaozhi's legs from her body, got off the bed with her clothes on, and walked out slowly.

When Li Zhen came out of the bathroom with a tired face, he found that Xiaoying was already sitting on the sofa. Her complexion was not much better, and she must have not slept well at night.

"Let's talk?" Xiaoying spoke first.

Li Zhen walked over, sat down one meter away from her, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, "What are you talking about?"

Xiaoying lowered her head and wrapped her coat tightly, "What... do you plan for the future?"

"What plans can I have?" Li Zhen smiled wryly, and he looked sideways at her, "It's you..."

"I never thought of tearing down this house." Xiaoying turned to meet his gaze and replied calmly.

Li Zhen stared at her blankly, for a long while, rubbed his hands vigorously a few times, nodded, "Okay."

"In that case," Xiaoying stood up and turned her back to him, "I hope that even if I can't trust each other in the future, I can save some face for each other—even if it's for the children!"

Li Zhen silently watched her back go away from him, the tight lines made him feel strange for the first time.

The sun rises every morning as usual, just like usual.

Shen Juncheng, who gathered in the Taotao traffic, felt so small and meaningless.

Under the big sky, who would care about someone's frustration or sadness?No one's pain is worth remembering by others, except the person concerned.

He came to this city three times with hope, but had to leave with infinite melancholy three times. He gradually began to believe that such a thing as fate really existed.

I don't remember who said that if you start to believe in fate, it proves that you are old.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, he had been naive for so many years anyway.

It's time to leave his innocence behind and start traveling lightly, but he still doesn't know where his next stop will be.

No matter where it stops, there will be no more entanglements and troubles at that stop, and of course, there will be no more Xiaoying.

Is this result good or bad?He doesn't care anymore.

The relocation to the new location has not yet started, and the office is currently still in the building of the management committee.

Shen Juncheng took the elevator upstairs, he came very early, and the whole floor was still quiet.However, when he opened the door, he found that Xiao Yuxin was already sitting in front of his desk - she was the only subordinate who had the key to his office.

"So early?" He raised his eyebrows, walked to the table and sat down.

Yuxin Zhanyan smiled at him, and Shen Juncheng noticed that her makeup today was extremely delicate.

"I've already thought about it." She was indeed a capable and straightforward person, and she went straight to the point when she spoke.

Shen Juncheng's eyebrows twitched, and he subconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took out one, and raised it to her, "Is it okay?"

Yu Xin nodded.

The lighter crackled, and Shen Juncheng skillfully lit the cigarette, took another puff, and slowly pushed the smoke out of his mouth, then nodded to Yu Xin with a smile, "Let's hear it."

"I want to choose you." Yu Xin uttered the words so clearly that there was no way to avoid them.

Shen Juncheng's hand holding the cigarette paused in the air. Although he still had a smile on his face, he couldn't hide his expression that became stiff for a moment.

Yu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or feel sad, but fortunately she had already made up her mind.

"This is obviously impractical, isn't it?" It turned out that the sentence just now was just a beginning, "So, I decided to choose a factory."

Shen Juncheng was stunned for a few more seconds, then let out a sigh of relief, and said with a dumb smile: "Yu Xin, you're really a little tricky..."

The smile on his face at this moment is so charming and charming in Yu Xin's eyes, but she understands very deeply that such a smile can never belong to her.

"Facts have proved that my choice is right." She put away those meaningless children's mentality, and shrugged gracefully, "If I choose a factory, I may be able to do something. If I choose you," there was something in her faint eyes. A trace of resentment passed by, "Probably I can only have a body by my side, not necessarily very happy, and each other becomes each other's burden. So I think it is better to be more practical in life."

Shen Juncheng smiled and said, "You really have a clearer mind than me."

Yu Xin was sensitively aware that the self-mockery in his smile was clearly aimed at himself.

"Okay!" Shen Juncheng patted the armrest, as if to shake off the dust on it, and then stood up, "From today onwards, this seat—is yours."

Yu Xin pursed her lips and smiled, full of confidence, her eyes no longer had the mournful look of last night, which made Shen Juncheng feel relieved for no reason. He found that she was actually more suitable for floating in the business world than himself.

In the afternoon, when Yu Xin visited Shen Juncheng's office again, she was already fully engaged in work.

"Mr. Shen, Ke Lan has recently undergone major personnel transfers, and the new boss has also intentionally intervened in direct affairs, which has caused serious internal friction. Our engineers have received completely different feedback from them twice in a row! The previous Fan Zhijun was a real mess." It is a pity that the people who do things are squeezed out by themselves. In this situation, although we can continue to cooperate, but after a long time, there is no guarantee that it will not drag us down."

Shen Juncheng pointed at her, "Now you are the boss here, you can do whatever you want, don't ask me for advice everywhere, do it in your own way - what I care about is the result, not the process."

Yu Xin laughed brightly when she heard this, but there was still a hint of sadness in that perfect smile, but outsiders couldn't detect it.

The Lunar New Year is approaching, and the whole city is filled with a warm festive atmosphere.

This year's Spring Festival, Xiaoying is destined to be busy - the wedding of her younger brother Xiaoyu and her best friend Guo Jia is planned to be held in the next year.Under Xiaoyu's persuasion, Guo Jia also agreed to build their love nest in H City, so that the two families can take care of each other in the future, which is undoubtedly a great joy for Xiaoying.

Aunt may be getting older, many things can be seen gradually, and she also suddenly realized that no matter how much she persisted for so many years, her son would not be able to follow her expectations. , Uncharacteristically, she did not make any comments, and through Xiaoying's connection, she was finally able to meet her son and future daughter-in-law and resume normal diplomatic relations.

In terms of finances, uncle and aunt each contributed a sum of money to buy Xiaoyu's wedding, and he accepted it bluntly. All three parties were happy, and he really needed the money to buy a house in City H.

The matter of the house has already been settled. Xiaoyu and Guo Jia are both careless and convenient people, so they simply bought a second-hand house that was renovated by others. The necessary furniture and daily necessities can be directly checked in.

The two of them were busy taking care of trivial follow-up affairs in J City, and the matter of soft decoration fell on Xiaoying's shoulders.

It was the winter vacation of the kindergarten, Xiaozhi pestered Xiaoying at home every day, so that she had to take him with her wherever she went, and wanted to send him to Aunt Zhou's place for a few days, but he refused desperately.

Li Zhen saw that Xiaoying really couldn't get away, and the old parents in the country were thinking about their grandson, so he proposed to send Xiaozhi to his hometown for a few days, and pick him up after Xiaoying finished the work at hand.

Although Xiaoying was a bit reluctant, but considering the reality in front of her and the expectations of Li's parents, she could only agree, so Li Zhen chose a weekend to send her son back by train.

When Xiaozhi is not around, Xiaoying's efficiency in doing things is multiplied immediately, but at night, she feels faintly lonely. She is used to the atmosphere filled with Xiaozhi's laughter and laughter. Now when he leaves, she feels that she is His whole heart seemed to be hollowed out, and he could only comfort himself that he would not pass for a few days.

One night, when Li Zhen came back, he took out a box from his bag and handed it to Xiaoying. When she opened it, she saw a brand new mobile phone lying in the box. The style and color were all the type she liked.

"Is it okay?" Li Zhen asked her with a smile.

Needless to say, this is Li Zhen expressing his apology to her in a tactful way. After her original pink mobile phone was smashed by him, she has been too lazy to buy a new one, and only used the old one to make do with it.

"I like it very much." She also answered him with a smile that was so perfect that it was almost polite.

Seeing her smiling face, Li Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. The crisis that had lingered around them for the past few days was finally resolved—just a few days ago, he learned from Xia Bin that Shen Juncheng had entrusted the company to Xiao Yuxin and left alone. City H.

However, he, who should have felt relieved, did not feel at all relaxed at this moment.

Perhaps, it is not only Xiaoying who has changed, but even himself is changing quietly. At this moment, when he looks at Xiaoying's smile, he can no longer feel the nostalgia for her that he has had for a long time .
