Rose Manor

Fu Jichen was smoking in the study when he received a call from Zheng Yi. He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and listened intently to the person over there.

"Ms. Shen is in Villa No. 12, Jade Tianfu. She hasn't been out in the past few days. Yan Hong, the manager of Shixin Band, came over this afternoon and left after staying for half an hour." Zheng Yi reported in detail, "Mr. Pei went to the company at eight o'clock this morning. I heard from his subordinates that he was handing over work. The branch in Jiangcheng found a new administrative leader to take over Mr. Pei's seat. In addition..."

After a pause, Zheng Yi was afraid of affecting his boss's mood, and his tone was slightly slow: "Mr. Pei is applying for a visa to Switzerland."

Fu Jichen was silent for a while, looked at the ashtray full of cigarette butts, and said hoarsely: "I know."

Zheng Yi waited for a long time but did not hang up the phone. Out of etiquette, it was not convenient for him to hang up first, so he could only wait.

About three minutes later, Zheng Yi heard the boss's voice: "Keep watching, and report to me if anything happens."

This call is terminated.

It was already dark outside, Fu Jichen lit another cigarette, stood up and walked to the window, holding his pocket with one hand, looking at the dark night. The moon was very bright tonight, not blocked by clouds, and its outline was clear.

At this time in Jiangcheng, Shen Jianian was looking at the same moon.

When her cell phone rang, she withdrew her gaze from the window and landed on the bed. She walked over and picked up the cell phone from the bed. There was an unfamiliar number on the screen, and it belonged to Beicheng.

Shen Jianian hesitated for two seconds and answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

There was no sound from the other side. She heard the slight rising and falling breathing and frowned: "Hello, who is this? Is it the wrong number?"

The second before she was about to hang up, a familiar male voice came from the phone: "It's me."

Shen Jia Nian's breathing stopped for a second. Of course she could tell that it was Fu Jichen's voice. Her fingers holding the phone tightened and she asked as calmly as possible: "Is something okay?"

She was not surprised that Fu Jichen could get her mobile phone number.

Fu Jichen's voice was low: "It's nothing."

I just wanted to ask her if she planned to go abroad with Pei Che, away from this land where he was. From now on, if he wanted to find out more about her, he could only do so from a distance that was a hundred times and a thousand times farther away than now.

When the call was connected, he couldn't ask any more questions.

Shen Jia Nian pursed her lips. Listening to his voice, it was difficult for her not to recall that night. She had never found that her memory was so good. She remembered every detail clearly, including the frequency of his breathing.

Shen Jianian closed his eyes: "If nothing happens, just hang up."

"Shen Jianian." Fu Jichen said humbly, "Do you really think that our previous relationship no longer exists?"

They also had one child.

In the past three days, every time he thought about it, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't do anything, and all he could think about was her. Not her beautiful appearance, but her appearance lying on the operating table. He had never seen such a scene before, it was all based on imagination. The more specific he thought about it, the more painful his heart became and he fell into an endless loop.

He agreed not to force him anymore and to give her the freedom she wanted, but when she was really no longer in his sight, he regretted it again.

Fu Jichen, who was vigorous and resolute, became indecisive and stopped moving forward.

Shen Jianian hung up the phone, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The phone in her hand rang again, but she didn't even look at it. After picking it up, she breathed quickly: "Don't call me again." They had already let her go, couldn't they be more thorough?

"Uh, Jia Nian, what are you talking about?" Bai Changxia's tone was a little sad, Jia Nian actually asked her not to call her again.

Doesn't she want her as a friend?

Shen Jianian brought the phone to her eyes and saw clearly that the caller ID was "Bai Changxia". She rubbed her forehead and was confused by Fu Jichen.

"I'm not talking about you." Shen Jia Nian calmed down and changed his tone, "I didn't look at the caller ID just now, I thought it was someone else calling."

Bai Changxia knew that she had left Yunding Palace and returned to Jiangcheng, so he followed her words and guessed: "Who do you think the call was, Fu Jichen?"

Shen Jianian changed the subject: "Why did you call me for something?"

"What's more, have you forgotten that I got married on National Day?" Bai Changxia sighed, "No one looked at me when I went to pick out a toast outfit today. My fiancé's taste is really bad. I couldn't pick anything he chose. I don’t think it looks good. I have to pick out bridesmaid dresses in a few days, so you should come.”

Bai Changxia's marriage is a big event, and Shen Jia Nian doesn't want her to have any regrets: "I'll go there someday."

She is free now and can go wherever she wants. Bai Changxia laughed "hehe" and was moved by her crispness: "With your words, I feel at ease. Then we have agreed that you will accompany me to pick out the toast clothes. I don't have any today." Pick well.”

Shen Jianian agreed to her.

Bai Changxia asked hesitantly: "You and Fu Jichen..."

"It's all over." Shen Jianian said,

Bai Changxia felt a little regretful that they had such a good relationship before, but she could understand Jia Nian, but she didn't even remember it. Love is something that is accumulated over time and cannot be obtained by others saying a few words. Didn't Jia Nian's feelings for Fu Jichen just accumulate little by little?

She cannot be asked to fall in love with that person in a short period of time.

"Then you and Pei Che..." Bai Changxia continued to hesitate.

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Jianian felt a little depressed: "He plans to take Aunt Zhou abroad to relax in a while." He has no intention of taking her with him.

"Well, then...what about you?" Bai Changxia was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and kept stammering.

Shen Jianian breathed heavily: "He said, let me stop deceiving myself; he said, I don't like him as much as before; he said, it was my dependence on him that made me unwilling to separate from him, or maybe it was the three of them. The family affection accumulated over the years makes me unable to live without him, but there is no love."

Bai Changxia: "Is that what he said?"

Shen Jia Nian had felt that her feelings for Pei Che were different a long time ago. She couldn't tell what was different. When Pei Che said it, she felt as if he had said it, but she didn't want to admit it.

The whole person is contradictory and entangled.

"I don't know." Shen Jianian avoided the topic.

"What's your plan next?"

"The band's manager came to see me today. I plan to finish the tour in October and November first." She suddenly disappeared before, and the band's manager couldn't contact her and she was worried to death, for fear that there would be no cello for the next tour. hand.

By the time the tour is over, she might have found a new direction and no longer be confused.

"Okay, if you need anything, call me anytime." Bai Changxia respects all her choices. Again, whether it's Fu Jichen or Pei Che, the most important thing for her to be happy is, "When is your band's tour? ? Does it conflict with my wedding?"

"Starting in late October, no conflict."

"That's good."

The two chatted about other things and agreed to meet in a few days.

Shen Jianian put down her mobile phone, and there was a knock on the door. She went to open the door, and Pei Che came back, wearing a suit and shirt, carrying a bag of packed food: "The Shengjian restaurant you like to eat, I passed by and saw that there was also For sale, I brought you a box.”

"Don't you want to eat? I can't finish it by myself." Shen Jia Nian saw that he had been so busy going out early and coming back late in the past few days that he was losing weight.

"Then... let's eat together?" Pei Che tried to suggest.

The two of them went to the terrace. The packing boxes were placed on the small round table, and each of them had a pair of chopsticks.

The fried meat stuffing is filled with soup, so you have to take a small bite first to suck out the soup, otherwise it will simmer out and splash everywhere.

The two of us finished a whole box of fried pancakes one by one. After the conversation started, the atmosphere changed.

Pei Che handed her a tissue: "I heard from my mother that the band's manager came to see you at home today?"

"Well, talk to me about the tour." Shen Jianian pinched a tissue and wiped her oily lips, "I will go to Beicheng in a few days. Xia Xia will get married on National Day. I will help her choose a dress. Wait for the participation After her wedding, I will concentrate on preparing for the tour."

"Bai Changxia is getting married?" Pei Che was surprised and said with some emotion in his tone, "I probably won't be able to go, so please send me your blessings."

Shen Jianian asked: "What about the band's tour? You won't come to see it either?"

Pei Che's Adam's apple rolled and he looked at her face under the moonlight: "I may be absent. Xiao Nian, I wish your first tour a complete success."

Shen Jia Nian choked and raised his head before his eyes turned red, pretending to admire the unremarkable moon.

There is no sadness without separation.

For her, Pei Che has always been a very important person to her in this life. (End of chapter)
