The local tyrant president is not easy to mess with

Chapter 229

He stood still, waiting for her to approach him, and then walked forward side by side with her.

Looking back on the days when he was by her side, it seemed that every time he walked fast, she was chasing him, but now no matter whether he walked fast or slow, it turned out that he was going to chase her.

"Zijin, how have you been all these years?" Qiao Zheqing waited for Ran Zijin to ask him, but before she could speak, he asked her first.

"It wasn't good just now, but it's fine now." Ran Zijin replied honestly. Although she no longer likes Qiao Zheqing, he is the one who has left an important mark in her life after all, and she doesn't want to treat those people to others The hypocrisy and deceit that he used was used on him.

"You still went to foreign office, didn't you?" Qiao Zheqing's impression of Ran Zijin was always talkative, but he didn't say a word when he cared about her. This made him very sad, and he felt even more depressed in his heart, holding his breath It hurts to suffocate in the heart.

He knew that if he didn't find something to say, there would be a long and depressing silence between them in the following time.

He didn't want this kind of silence to happen, because if there was a first time, there must be a second time.He tried his best to restore the tacit understanding and intimacy between him and her.

"Well. But you are no longer here. But I didn't go there for you." Ran Zijin thought for a while, since he likes Leng Muxuan, then don't give Qiao Zheqing the slightest chance. Tell the truth once, without thinking about whether these words will hurt him, "I didn't particularly like X University, but here in this city, the cost is relatively low, and I'm close to the orphanage, so it's more convenient to take care of the orphanage. .So even if I don’t know you, I will still study at X University.”

"You..." Didn't you always tell me that you're going because I'm in X University?
Such a sentence was about to come out of Qiao Zheqing's mouth, but he pressed it back deeply. He suddenly felt that he was not qualified to ask such a question again, and his heart was full of guilt towards her.

"If I said something before, it must be because I was too young and ignorant to take it seriously." Ran Zijin probably guessed what Qiao Zheqing wanted to ask, so he just said it.

In fact, she really didn't like X University at that time, and she wanted to go to Q University in the imperial capital, but it was impossible for Qiao Zheqing to get into Q University with her grades, and she was very attached to him and didn't want to be separated from him, so she said yes Go to X University.As for the economic reasons, although important, they were not as important as when he came.

Thinking about it now, Ran Zijin couldn't help but feel that she was naive and foolish at that time, and actually made such a decision for such an irresponsible person, wherever he went, she followed him.

"Zijin, I haven't had a good time in Finland for the past five years." Qiao Zheqing didn't want to hear what Ran Zijin said that he didn't want to hear, so he brought the topic to himself.

In fact, he has been waiting for her to ask about his situation. He understands that she must want to know why he left without saying goodbye, and he has already thought of an excuse to explain and cover up that disgraceful past, but he has not waited until He spoke.

"Why is it not good? You have studied architecture and won many awards. You are already well-known in the circle of architecture and design. You are young and promising. Isn't the life of being noticed is what you want to pursue, and you have achieved it now. "In Ran Zijin's impression, Qiao Zheqing has always been the focus of attention, and he is very happy and likes to be this kind of focus. He also told her that he wants to be the kind of person who is surrounded by people.

Now he has indeed become a person who is surrounded by people and attracts attention. The awards and achievements he has won are something that many people have been striving for all their lives, but they have never been able to get them.

"It's just work and career, not the whole of life. In the past five years, there has been a gap in my heart that I haven't been able to fill." Qiao Zheqing picked a small sprig of osmanthus from the nearby osmanthus tree as he walked, The sweet-scented osmanthus is undefeated, but the taste is not bad.

He sniffed it under the tip of his nose, and then pinned it to Ran Zijin's hair.

Ran Zijin instinctively wanted to avoid it, but before he could hide, he had already inserted flowers on her head, so she had no choice but to give up and go with him. It was just a flower, and she had already experienced this kind of warmth. The age that is easily moved by trivial things.

Even if he drives a luxury car and brings a huge diamond ring to her now, she will not be moved anymore, because the person living in her heart is no longer him, so she will only be indifferent to what he does.

"Then you just hurry up and fill it up. With your current status, you don't have any girls. Don't be too picky. Choose a similar one, and it will be a lifetime." Ran Zijin said this, nothing more than to tell Qiao Zheqing, She had no thoughts about him, and told him to just give up on her.

In fact, she has always been a stubborn person, and she is also a single-minded person. If there is something in her heart, she still likes to go into a dead end. When Qiao Zheqing left without saying goodbye, she waited for him so foolishly. She really didn't forget him, and secondly, she really wanted to know why he left without saying goodbye.

Now that they meet again, she doesn't want to ask him why anymore, because it doesn't matter anymore.

Why he left and why he came back has nothing to do with her, she will no longer care about this.

She gave him all the fanaticism and paranoia of those years, and now she has decided to leave all the remaining fanaticism and paranoia to Leng Muxuan.

She loves Leng Muxuan, she doesn't want to care about any man except this man, she understands that this is what Leng Muxuan wants her to do.

"Zijin, it's not that I'm too picky, but because those women are not you." Qiao Zheqing suddenly stopped, turned around, faced Ran Zijin, stood in front of her, and looked down at her under the dim light eyes.

Her eyes were still so bright and energetic, but the pupils that were once filled with fiery heat were now as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest turmoil.

His heart was getting heavier and heavier, and his breathing was getting heavier and heavier. That kind of sadness and regret filled every corner of his body.

"Ah Qing, I'm not them either. They have their own advantages, it's just that you haven't discovered it, and you will find it if you work hard." Ran Zijin turned sideways, walked past Qiao Zheqing, and continued walking Go, while walking, tore off the sweet-scented osmanthus from the hair, and then threw it into the flower bed on the other side.

She is not a magnanimous person, she can't completely forgive Qiao Zheqing now, and she can't forget his leaving without saying goodbye, because in her heart, that kind of behavior is abandonment.

He abandoned her, once, no matter what the relationship between them was, he abandoned her.

Ran Zijin has been discarded too many times in her life, so this is what she can't accept the most.

So, even if she doesn't like him now and doesn't want to know the reason, she still has a heart for his behavior.

"Zijin..."

"Ah Qing!" Ran Zijin stood still, not far away was the gate of the supermarket, she interrupted Qiao Zheqing, "No matter what, I welcome you back. We used to have such a good relationship, you are one of my best friends .I'm doing fine now, and I don't want my life to change after you come back. You know I like a quiet life, you know?"

"I understand." Qiao Zheqing nodded helplessly, with an undisguised hurt look in her eyes.

How could he not understand her mind? Along the way, all her words were rejecting him and warning him not to interfere in her life again.

Although she didn't say anything about Leng Muxuan, he could tell that she really loved that man.

Qiao Zheqing lowered his eyebrows, his heart tightened with sadness, his jealousy towards Leng Muxuan was already burning like a fire, and it was getting hotter and hotter, so that he couldn't help but hate him a little bit.

"It's good if you understand. I'm going to the supermarket, you can go back. Next time you come, go upstairs and come to your house as a guest." After Ran Zijin finished speaking, she smiled at Qiao Zheqing, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the supermarket .

On her face was that faint and elegant smile that resembled sweet-scented osmanthus. Qiao Zheqing felt her eyes sour when she looked at her. Some mist rose up in her eyes, and her back in the distance was a little blurred.

Ran Zijin's words were not so direct and not so hurtful, but every word she said still made him sad, and besides being sad, he was very remorseful and blamed himself.

After buying eggs, Ran Zijin went straight home.

On the way out of the supermarket, she actually saw Qiao Zheqing standing in the shadow of the roadside, but she didn't want to talk to him, and she felt that there was really nothing to say between herself and him .

After all, five years have passed. During these five years, they lived and grew up separately. Different places, different life circles, and different experiences made them unable to find a common language.

When she stood in front of him, she actually felt a little sad in her heart, feeling that time tricked people, and the fate between her and him, whether it was in friendship or in love, could only come to an end here.

In fact, to be more precise, it was over five years ago when he left. It was he who put an end to their relationship first, terminating its continuation and advancement.

Her obsessive waiting later made her think very clearly that even if he came back, they would definitely return to the intimacy before he left. There are too many things lying between them now.

However, she is also very grateful for his departure, and also grateful for the relationship between them going back to the past. She met Leng Muxuan and fell in love with Leng Muxuan wholeheartedly.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm back, haven't you come home yet?" Ran Zijin opened the door and entered the room, Aunt Zhang was still busy in the living room.

"I'm leaving right away. I have to leave early tomorrow, so I will clean up the living room first today." Aunt Zhang seemed to have something to do at home tomorrow, and she had agreed with Leng Muxuan a few days ago that she would leave two hours earlier.

"It's okay, Aunt Zhang, let's go, there will be no bus if it's too late." Ran Zijin put the eggs in the refrigerator, then came out and took a rag from Aunt Zhang, "I'll clean it up, I'm working on it. "

Auntie Zhang couldn't resist Ran Zijin, so she had to take off her apron and told her: "You should also go to bed earlier, it doesn't matter if you can't finish the hygiene, I just need to move more quickly tomorrow. You are quite tired from work all day."

"Yeah. I see. I'll take a shower and sleep after wiping this place."

Aunt Zhang nodded, packed up her things and left. She knew Ran Zijin well. She knew that she had stayed in an orphanage and could do many things. She was not the kind of spoiled young lady.

Ran Zijin wiped the house with a rag. Before Aunt Zhang came, she had cleaned the house several times, so she didn't feel unfamiliar.

When she was going to take a bath, Leng Muxuan's phone call came.

Ran Zijin smiled and ran to answer the phone, "Mu Xuan, are you still up?"

"Didn't you sleep too?" Leng Muxuan heard Ran Zijin's voice through the phone, and felt that the fatigue of the day disappeared suddenly, and his spirit improved a lot.

"I'll go to bed right away. Don't work overtime, go to bed early."

"Well. Didn't I say call me at night? Why didn't you call?" Leng Muxuan was lying on the hotel bed, without Ran Zijin hugging him, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I went out just now, I forgot." Ran Zijin patted his forehead, and he actually forgot to call him.

During the day, when Leng Muxuan and the others had a meeting, he secretly texted her with his mobile phone, complaining that the meeting was boring, the people over there were not well prepared, and he almost wanted to say something during the meeting. It's a waste of his time.

The two got tired of texting for a long time, anyway, he and Luo Yining were not in the company, and she was not busy with work, so they chatted with him.

After the meeting ended, he cheated and wanted to talk to her, but her cell phone was almost out of battery, so he had no choice but to coax him to call him at night, so he didn't cling to her anymore.

"What are you going to do?" Leng Muxuan was a little aggrieved, what was she going to do, and she even forgot to call him!

"I've bought eggs. I'll have fried eggs tomorrow morning." Ran Zijin said lightly.

Leng Muxuan didn't know about Qiao Zheqing's existence yet, and he didn't want him to think about it while he was on a business trip, so it's better to wait for him to come back.

"Yeah. Zijin..."

"Ok?"

"did you miss me?"

"Yes, yes." Ran Zijin said shyly.

"Do you want me to hug you to sleep? You are no good without me?" After hearing Ran Zijin's answer, Leng Muxuan smiled with crooked eyebrows and a hint of ruffian.

"Not serious!" Ran Zijin scolded, and then said, "I'll just hang up and go to bed when I'm fine."

"Kiss before you hang up." Leng Muxuan was like a child begging for a gift.

Ran Zijin was speechless, and didn't want him to play tricks anymore, so he made a loud "boo" on the phone, which was regarded as kissing him.

"Okay, hang up! Good night!" Ran Zijin, who received a call from Leng Muxuan, suddenly felt much better.
