Ji Liangchuan, I have loved you for so many years

Chapter 57 Time can't take away longing (3)
I smiled lightly and started packing my things to get home from get off work.This is how society is. A year ago, since Mr. He knew that I was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, his attitude towards me was completely different from before.If it were me in the past, I must have packed up my things and left early, but people always have to grow up, mature, and face all things that I don’t want to face. I chose to continue to endure, and spent time in this small office. The end of my youth.

Du Xiaohang recently bought a car with enough money he had saved, and he took me to and from get off work every day.When I just walked out of the building, he was already waiting for me at the door. I opened the door with a smile and got in the car, and began to tease him: "Boss Du, your old car is so beautiful!"

"That's right, otherwise why would I marry you as my wife!"

"Tch!" I turned my head, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, trying to squeeze out the flood of memories.Yes, I have been working hard this year, trying to forget Ji Liangchuan and loving Du Xiaohang.

Du Xiaohang took me to a Japanese restaurant for dinner. When we walked in, several waiters greeted us politely.He pulled me to sit down by the corner of the window and helped me pull out the chair with a smile.This reminds me of the first time I dated Ji Liangchuan, he also smiled and pulled my chair away, and took the coat in my hand in a gentlemanly manner. No chance to blame him.

The waiter held the small book in his hand and asked, "Sir, miss, would you like to try our new corn salad sushi? It's very popular."

"Okay, she wants to eat if she likes it." Du Xiaohang said with a smile.

"Hey, hey! Why are you snatching it from me! You go and eat yours!" With sharp eyes, I saw Ji Liangchuan snatch a corn salad sushi from my plate at a glance, and I stood up and was about to rush over to grab it.

Who knew that just as I was about to get up, Ji Liangchuan held the piece of sushi with the chopsticks with his white and slender fingertips and handed it to my lips, and said with a smile, "Open your mouth."

I blushed, stunned for a moment, and then swallowed it all up with one mouth: "You don't need to feed me, I hate it!"

He just looked at me with a "hehe" smile.

That was the time we were together, a simple dinner, so warm at home.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Du Xiaohang waved his hand in front of my eyes, pulling me out of the memory.

I was stunned, when I tried hard to forget you, but the whole world was full of your shadow, which made it hard for me to let go of my obsessive love for you.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"What's wrong? Eat, miss, the soup is cold! Are you implying that I want me to feed you!" Du Xiaohang patted my head.

But I smiled wryly, and took a bowl of soup by myself: "How old are you, I still need you to feed me."

I did my best to smile, and we had a good chat over dinner.He said that his career is getting better and better. Although he is not as rich as the rich second generation, his monthly income is enough to live a life of the upper class.I smiled faintly, watching him look forward to the future, and suddenly realized that everything should be relieved, I still haven't been able to become Ji Liangchuan's future.

When Du Xiaohang sent me to Hongdou's house at night, just as I was about to leave, he held me back, pressed a kiss on my cheek, and then gradually slipped his lips onto mine.He closed his eyes and said softly to me: "Shen Meng, isn't this a dream? Every morning when I wake up, I am afraid that all of this is my hallucination. In fact, we are not together."

I patted him on the back to comfort him: "Don't think about it, go home early and rest."

"Ah."

I got out of the car and when I reached the entrance of the building, Du Xiaohang stopped me: "Shen Meng."

I turned my head to look at him with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"Good night."

……

My mind was almost blank and I went back to Hongdou's house. It's just that there are too many memories between us.Why do some people disappear in your life, but stay in your heart forever, lingering for a long time?

When I got off work the next day, Du Xiaohang hadn't come yet, but at this moment, I saw a familiar figure.Xue Kai leaned against the building, as if standing there waiting for a long time.

"Xue Kai?"

"Do you have time? Can I talk to you?"

I called Du Xiaohang and asked him not to pick me up, and then followed Xue Kai into a restaurant for dinner.I have a vague sense of his purpose for coming, but I don't know how I can help him and Meiyi.

"What do you want to eat? I'm treating you today."

"Just call me whatever you want, I can do it."

After Xue Kai ordered something casually, he began to stare blankly at the teacup in his hand, drinking it one by one, and looking at me across the way from time to time.

"Do you want to ask me about Meiyi's situation? She is studying in the United States... She doesn't want to go back to China yet..." He didn't ask anything, so I said plainly.

Xue Kai was stunned for a moment, then stroked the edge of the cup lightly with his fingers and said: "No, it's not Meiyi's business that I came to see you today, I know her situation...she contacted me...I came to find you today You are for Liangchuan..."

I suddenly froze the chopsticks in my hand, stood there motionless, and then recovered my expression and continued to pick up vegetables for dinner.I know that although I am calm on the surface, I can't wait to know his news in my heart. Any news is fine, even if it tells me that he is remarried, I am willing.I don't want him to be in my life as if he never existed, so transparent and empty that there is no breath left.

"I still remember that you called me more than a year ago and asked me why Liangchuan didn't like inheriting the family business but still agreed to his father's request. I can now confirm my guess at that time."

I held the teacup in front of me and listened carefully to what Xue Kai said, for fear of missing a word.He sat opposite and continued:

"The reason why Liangchuan was able to negotiate with his father and agree to your marriage, and he was willing to be the general manager of Tianyu, all this is because he has fallen in love with you a long time ago, but he didn't know it himself, and thought he had been in love with you all this time. He didn’t come out in the past. In fact, his compromise has long exposed his true intentions.”

The fingers holding the teacup froze, the sunlight hit the phalanx, and the small piece of skin began to turn white gradually.

"He knows that you are a pampered young lady who has never experienced hardship since she was a child. If he doesn't become the general manager of Tianyu, he may not be able to give you a rich life. Therefore, he can forget the past holidays with his father, just for you people."

Yes, a long time ago, he told me that he fell in love with someone, and he was afraid that she would not be able to live in poverty if she was spoiled. I knew it, and I always knew it. The person he said was always me.

"Shen Meng, I don't know the real reason why you divorced him, but I hope you can think carefully about whether your decision is right, maybe what you think he needs is not exactly what he wants."

Xue Kai looked at me and said these words seriously, but my heart was unusually calm.How could I not understand him like that?He who used to be able to read everyone's thoughts, but he was always unable to read his own.

It's just, from the moment I tried my best to break his finger holding me, from the moment I cruelly threw our wedding ring on the ground, from the moment I deliberately let him see me kissing Du Xiaohang, There will be no more results between us, even if it is a deep love.

The waiter brought some home-cooked dishes and a plate of octopus. I used my chopsticks to clamp the two sides of the fish, and when I poked them open, the whole piece of fish was beyond recognition.

Xue Kai smiled lightly, picked up another piece in a gentlemanly manner, and carefully squeezed the two sides of the fish, and then put it in my bowl: "You don't eat the two sides of the fish?"

"Hmm." I looked at the piece of hairtail in the bowl, nodded silly, smiled silly, and thought of him silly.Once, he looked at me so tenderly, took both sides of the fish for me, and put the full fish into my bowl.

When I went to work the next day, Mr. He called the phone in the office and asked me to attend the group meeting held by Tianyu's consultants and lawyers.Since Ji Liangchuan and I separated, I never received any request to go to the Tianyu head office. I thought there would never be any interaction between us again.

When I was sitting in the taxi, the sudden panic made me feel uneasy, and I had a fear of wanting to see but not daring to see him. If we meet again, how will he and I feel?
When I came to the gate of Tianyu Building, I stopped for a long time, watching the dazzling sun hanging brightly in the narrow sky, and finally, I walked forward slowly.

The conference room is on the eleventh floor, where I used to work.Walking into the elevator, there were a few people standing here and there. I stared at the silver-gray elevator door with anxiety, and my heart suddenly became cold.

When the elevator door opened, a few people came in, like a cloud suddenly appeared in the dark gray sky.I saw Ji Liangchuan surrounded by several staff members at a glance. He was wearing a straight gray suit. I haven't seen him for a year. He has lost a lot of weight and cut his hair short. He has become more alienated and indifferent. There is no trace of such tenderness and warmth.He and the staff next to him smiled faintly, revealing an invisible sense of distance.When he turned his head to look at me in the elevator, there seemed to be a flash of light in those dark brown pupils. However, it was only a flash, and instantly changed into a deep and dark color, looking at me indifferently. I walked slowly into the elevator.

It turned out that when that indifferent gaze looked at me, my heart would still sink rapidly, sinking into the bottomless abyss.

"Mr. Ji, we'll have a meeting in a while, we'll take notes, just listen to it, I don't bother you!" said a female staff member next to her.

"That's right, it's just a meeting of lawyers, just go and do your own thing."

"It's okay." He said calmly, and the staff next to him couldn't make a sound.

The time was suddenly elongated. In the small space, he was standing in front of me. I could only greedily smell the familiar perfume on his body, and timidly look at his shadow reflected on the opposite elevator door. .After staring at him for a long time, I realized that he was also staring at me.Is the only thing left between us to meet eyes in this way?I turned my head, suppressed my beating heart, and huddled in the innermost corner silently.

After the elevator opened, Ji Liangchuan walked out without looking back, and I followed behind keeping a distance.Watching him walk into the conference room, I walked in too.

Inside, including Mr. He, and some senior legal advisers were already seated, seeing Ji Liangchuan walk in, they still flattered and greeted him.When Mr. He saw me, he walked over quietly, blew his beard and stared at me but tried his best to lower his voice: "Why are you here so late? Do you know that everyone is waiting for you alone!"

"Mr. He." After Ji Liangchuan sat down beside him, his voice came steadily, "Miss Shen was helping me read some documents just now, so I was delayed."

"Oh, that's right, hehe..." Mr. He smiled awkwardly, and took a seat beside him.

After the meeting started, I didn't care to listen to a word at all. I just looked at him across the way, with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes, sitting there upright looking at the documents in my hand, and didn't look at me anymore.And I can only reminisce about the phrase "Miss Shen", and everything has gone back to the original point.

Our lives began to be rewritten.
