within Temptation

Chapter 85 Alienation
Thinking of Tang Xiaoru just now, as if she had a heart-to-heart connection, she actually called.

Seeing Tang Xiaoru's name displayed on the phone, I thought strangely: Why did Tang Xiaoru call me at this time?Are you asking me why I didn't attend the reception and went home early?
Of course, the name on the phone was also seen by Shi Shanshan in my arms.But she snorted, and said in an extremely displeased way: "This shameless woman, she obviously has a man, why does she always come to provoke you? Dai Yong, don't answer, I won't allow you to talk to her!"

I smiled wryly, thinking how could I not answer?What if it's about work?She is also my boss anyway, and she doesn't answer the boss's calls unless I don't want to do it anymore.

So, I didn't listen to Shi Shanshan, took a deep breath, and pressed the call button: "Hello, Mr. Tang!"

Tang Xiaoru's voice on the phone seemed a little different from usual.With a trace of laziness and drunkenness, he said lazily: "Dai Yong, what's the matter with you? I didn't see you at the reception, and I heard from Hu Guoliang that you didn't come at all. Why?"

I was taken aback, remembering that I clearly told Hu Guoliang that I was not feeling well, and asked him to take a leave of absence for me.Why didn't Hu Guoliang tell her all these words?
After thinking about it, I already understood that Hu Guoliang probably didn't say anything on purpose.He wished that Tang Xiaoru's impression of me would get worse, so how could he speak good words for me?Perhaps, he will add fuel and jealousy, instead saying that I am free and undisciplined, and I am absent from important company events without reason?
I smiled faintly, and didn't bother to say anything to a villain like Hu Guoliang, so I said, "Oh, I suddenly felt unwell in the afternoon. I felt that I couldn't keep going to the reception, so I went home. "

"Really? What's wrong with you? Is it serious?"

"It's...it's not serious, it's just that I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, maybe... I ate something bad."

"Oh, that's right. Did you take your medicine when you got home? If not, why don't you come back to work after two days' rest?"

"No, it's a small problem. It will be fine in one night. I asked for leave just after the company opened, and it didn't affect me well."

"Well, whatever you want. Since you also know that the influence is not good, then I will say a few words to you. Tonight is the first important event since the establishment of our company. Even if you are not feeling well, you should tell me Say it? Now you are a middle-level cadre, not an ordinary employee. Your every move is watched by many people. If you can’t do a good job yourself, how can you make your employees do a good job? What? You are the one I picked up with one hand, I don’t want anyone to say that I used the wrong person, do you understand?”

Tang Xiaoru's tone of voice was casual but heavy. I knew she was angry.Originally, I wanted to explain, but I thought that I was absent for no reason. Even if I had greeted Hu Guoliang in advance, the reason was false.I didn't have enough confidence, so I just admitted it and said, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. Next time, I won't do this again."

"It's good to know!" Tang Xiaoru's tone relaxed again, and she smiled softly and said, "Are you feeling a little wronged? Think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill, and deliberately come to teach you a lesson?"

"No, I know, Mr. Tang, you are... for my own good."

"Hehe, do you really know? Knowing that you still... oops!"

"Boss Tang, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I drank a little too much, and the road is not stable."

My heart moved, and I couldn't help but ask: "Are you alone? Is there no one... to help you?"

"I'm not alone, how many people can there be? I really want someone to help me, but unfortunately, when I was looking for you, you had already gone home."

I thought to myself: Really?You and your lover met tonight, but he didn't send you home?

mobile phone; Tang Xiaoru was still talking: "Oh, it's been a long time since I drank so much wine. But I'm really happy today. Our company's opening ceremony was too successful. The hard work these days has not been in vain. Dai Yong, just now If you were here, I would have wanted to have a drink with you to celebrate. It's a pity that you are not here for such a rare occasion. "

For a while, I didn't know what to say.I just feel that Tang Xiaoru's words seem to regard me as very important.I didn't show up at the reception tonight, which seemed to make her very sorry.

Am I really that important?At the reception, there is her lover, so what is there to regret?
Thinking of Tang Xiaoru's outstanding lover, my heart felt sad again, and I didn't plan to talk to her any more, so I said, "Boss Tang, drinking too much wine can easily hurt your body. Go to rest early, and I won't bother you."

"Why? Think I'm long-winded? Some people don't have the right to hear me long-winded."

I smiled wryly, and said, "Why? I'm afraid that if you drink too much and call again, it will be bad if you get distracted while walking and fall."

"It's okay, I'm almost home. Dai Yong, to tell you the truth, I like to talk to people when I drink too much. Besides, I'm really happy today. Are you my friend? If you are a friend, can't you share with me Are you happy?"

If it was the past, or even yesterday, how could I not want to talk to Tang Xiaoru more and share her happiness?But now, I really can't calm down in my mood, so I pretended to be innocent and chatted with her.Moreover, there is Shi Shanshan by my side.Just a few minutes ago, Shi Shanshan had just become my girlfriend.How can I have endless phone conversations with another woman in front of my girlfriend?

Thinking of this, I glanced at Shi Shanshan in my arms, but saw that her face seemed to be covered with frost, and her expression was very ugly.Seeing me looking at her, she finally couldn't help but snorted heavily.

I know, this is her warning me, and she also deliberately let Tang Xiaoru in the phone know that I am inconvenient now!

Sure enough, Tang Xiaoru heard this voice.There was no sound in the phone immediately, and after a few seconds, Tang Xiaoru said in surprise: "Is there... someone beside you?"

I smiled bitterly, thinking that you have heard the voice, can I say that there is no one?But that's good too, just say it's my girlfriend, it can cut off my thoughts about Tang Xiaoru, and also make Shi Shanshan believe in my determination to forget Tang Xiaoru.

So, I didn't hide anything, I just said calmly: "Well, my girlfriend is here."

"You... your girlfriend? When did you... oh, look at me, nagging endlessly, probably making your girlfriend unhappy? Forget it, you should hurry up and accompany your girlfriend .”

"Okay, goodbye then!"

"See you!"

Putting down the phone, I saw that Shanshan's cold face had already burst into a happy smile, without saying anything, her small face came closer again, and her soft lips kissed mine again.

It's just that I don't have the mood to savor the taste of kissing carefully.My heart was empty, I was just thinking: I finally... have no chance to love Tang Xiaoru again?Is this... the result I want?I already have a girlfriend, why, am I still not happy at all?
Anyway, I finally have a girlfriend.Life with a girlfriend is of course completely different from before.Shi Shanshan no longer hides her concern for me in the company, and shows that her relationship with me is different all the time.So, the matter between me and Shi Shanshan was soon known to some colleagues in the company.Especially those who stayed from our old company, they thought we were a couple, but now they see it more clearly, and they all expressed their congratulations to us.

I didn't deny it either, and accepted the blessings of my colleagues with a smile.Shi Shanshan was even more happy like a happy bird, wishing that the whole world would know that I was her boyfriend.

In a blink of an eye, the company has been open for more than a week.Since Tang Xiaoru called me that night, Tang Xiaoru never had any interaction with me again.Sometimes even if we met in the company, she just nodded at most, and then passed me by.I don't know why, maybe, she already knew that Shi Shanshan was my girlfriend, could it be that Tang Xiaoru deliberately started to alienate me for fear of causing my girlfriend's misunderstanding?
However, there is nothing I can do about it, it was my choice.Once you have a girlfriend, dating is inevitable.I'm not the kind of rich person who can't afford many high-end places.Shi Shanshan knows me very well, every time she asks me out, she always goes to places that cost almost nothing.I am also very relieved to have such a considerate girlfriend.

Now my relationship with Shi Shanshan is still at the kissing stage.I am a dull man, and I dare not even touch her body without her consent.However, I am a man no matter what.It's a man, there is no one who doesn't yearn for a deeper intimacy.

I'm 25 years old, and I haven't really seen women's bodies except in pictorials.I didn't have a girlfriend before, so I couldn't help it, but now I have one, how can I restrain myself?

So, that night, I took the initiative to ask Shi Shanshan out.I have made up my mind to pay attention, no matter what, at least I will appreciate the female body tonight.If you can have sex, huh, huh, that's the best.
