If you can love like this

Chapter 79

The city is always hope and despair coexist.Just like my love, hope and despair coexist.The busyness of the day can make people forget a lot, but when I go back to the apartment alone after get off work, I am so depressed that I am going crazy.Many times I didn't go home directly, and dragged my tired body wandering around the noisy streets.One day, I went to the door of a famous international store. I usually pass by here, but I never go in, because the things inside are not something I can care about in my current economic situation. Although Gao Peng gave me a good salary, but now I Apart from salary, I have no source of income. Thinking about myself in my 30s, I still have nothing after struggling for so many years, not even a fixed residence.No wonder my parents were so frustrated with me.Me too.

But I can't care too much anymore, and it doesn't cost money to look around, anyway, I just go shopping everywhere.The store is really magnificent, with elegant music flowing in every corner, and the quietness reveals an incomparable luxury. There are not many people shopping, and it is very quiet inside.I walked through most of the shopping malls very quickly, because I didn't dare to stay in front of the clothes of various brands for a long time. After a slight pause, the beautiful shop assistant would say: "Miss, if you like it, you can try it, they are all the latest The styles are listed at the same time as Paris..." How dare I try the clothes here, I just passed by without seeing the brand clearly, but I stopped in front of a familiar brand Footsteps, that brand of clothes is the most in Geng Mochi's closet, presumably he likes it very much.

I can't move anymore, the suit with straight lines, simple and luxurious, is the style and atmosphere I am familiar with, my vision is involuntarily blurred, in a trance, he is standing there smiling at me in that suit, with a demeanor Pianpian, extraordinary bearing.

"Is that you? Cathy!" He came over and greeted me pleasantly.I was shocked and collected myself, only to realize that it wasn't him standing in front of me, "Oh, I..." I faltered and didn't know how to answer.

"It's really a surprise. It really is an adventure between people. I'm so happy!" Chen Jinsen stretched out his hand to me.After just a few seconds, I felt that he had a pair of noble and elegant hands. There is no specific standard, just a feeling.Maybe it's because of the weather, he didn't wear a suit, he was dressed in light beige casual clothes, he still had an impeccably handsome face, twinkling eyes, and a smile that could melt everything in the world, my heart was beating wildly.How did that happen?strangeness!
"Mr. Chen... are you here to buy clothes too?" I looked around, not daring to look directly at him, feeling a heat behind my ears.

"Cathy, please call me Keven. It's not like we don't know each other." Chen Jinsen approached me with a smile, quickly glanced at me, and his eyes stayed on my face, "You are also shopping for clothes Is it?" he asked politely, his eyes burning.

"I... just take a look..." I smiled awkwardly, wondering where I could afford the clothes here.

"Oh, do you like it?" Chen Jinsen looked around, didn't understand my predicament, but said considerately, "Would you like to help you refer? Well, VERSACE is good, I also like this brand, try it, you It must fit well."

I feel that I have never been so glamorous. When I walked out of the fitting room wearing a black velvet dress inlaid with rhinestones, the lady clerk at the side praised me again and again, and the customers who were trying on clothes around me also turned to me in surprise. Look, this made Chen Jinsen who was sitting on the side resting very proud.He got up and came to my back, admiringly looking at the celestial being in the mirror, calmly, but attacking my strong defense with his penetrating smile, I suddenly felt very nervous, and my heart beat faster.

"You are beautiful!" he said sincerely.

Coming out of the store, Chen Jinsen invited me to dinner again, holding the clothes he gave, looking at his sincere and fiery eyes, it seemed difficult for me to refuse, besides, I also really wanted to know Annie's recent situation.He led me to a western restaurant opposite the China World Trade Center, and sat face to face in front of a square dining table by the window.At this time, I felt a little more relaxed. Chen Jinsen talked with me kindly and politely, asking me about my life and work.

His good upbringing is also reflected in his etiquette at the dinner table. He is not in a hurry when drinking soup or cutting steak.It made me feel embarrassed when I saw it, I don’t have so many rules, the steak was cut in a mess, and the soup was spilled on the clean tablecloth, as for the knives and forks in my hands, they didn’t listen to me, ding ding There was a loud bang.

"Do you want me to help you?" Chen Jinsen put down the spoon in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Thanks, I can handle it," I blushed with embarrassment, "I'm just not used to western food."

"Then you should have said in advance, I thought you liked it, I'm sorry..." Chen Jinsen showed an apologetic expression, as if it was his fault that I couldn't eat western food.It is unbelievable to say that after living in the United States for two years, I have not even mastered the basics of western food knives, and my English is still half-baked.

"Where's Annie, how is she doing now?" I asked carefully, because I looked at his face, and it seemed that he was deliberately avoiding something, and it was clear evidence that he didn't take the initiative to mention Annie.

Sure enough, there were some subtle emotional changes in his eyes, and he smiled, "I... broke up with her..."

"What? Break up?!" I was quite surprised, and the knife and fork fell to the ground.The waiter came over right away to pick it up for me and brought clean cutlery.Chen Jinsen calmly wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said casually, "Why, didn't she tell you?"

"No, I didn't hear from her when I called her a while ago, okay, why..."

"Fate, it's hard to say." Chen Jinsen avoided the important and quickly changed the subject, "When did you come to Shenzhen? I am really happy to meet you!"

"Two or three months ago." I answered absent-mindedly, and Anne's angel-like beautiful face flashed in my mind. It seems that her self-willedness and pampering have not changed at all, or how can a good relationship be over?

After dinner, Chen Jinsen politely drove me back to my apartment in Nanshan.He seemed to be driving the car very slowly on purpose, talking to me unhurriedly. The two of them were suddenly confined in the small car, and the atmosphere became delicate and thrilling. God out.It was the time when the city was at its most bustling at night, our car was caught in the flowing river of lights, and there were only two bright spots left. My heart beat faster for no reason, because I found that he was looking at me from the corner of my eye.

Intuition that this man is dangerous!This danger stems from a certain clean and blurred aura that naturally emanates from his body, which permeates the air vaguely. He wears perfume, which is noble and restrained.I used to not appreciate men's perfume, and I rarely used it myself until I met Geng Mochi.Geng Mochi came from Paris. Except for him, I have never seen a man who uses perfume so wonderfully. The faint elegant breath always wakes up my numb memory nerves in my dreams, but today on Chen Jinsen, I was surprised by the smell. Bewildered by a different but equally demagogic masculinity, that's why my heart beats faster?

"Cathy, we should meet more often. Fate is fleeting." Chen Jinsen parked the car at the entrance of the community and spoke deeply.I turned my face away and pretended not to hear.He got out of the car and opened the car door for me personally, and gave me a business card. His calm smile could not hide the confusion and reluctance in his eyes.

"Thank you for the dinner," I nodded politely to him, and raised the shopping bag again, "and the clothes you sent, goodbye!" After I finished speaking, I turned and left.

"Cathy!" He stopped me from behind, and suddenly threw out a sentence in English, "I really believe in people and their adventure in their life, you should also believe (I absolutely believe in people and their adventure in their life, you should also believe.) "

For several days in a row, I was distracted and absent-minded at work. Either Zhang Guanli and Dai confused the copywriting, or when my colleagues talked to me, I answered irrelevant questions.I really couldn't enter the working state, so I had to put down what I was doing, make a cup of tea and be in a daze.

I haven't had coffee for a long time, and I'm subconsciously afraid of the familiar taste.But I dream of the smell of Seattle even in my dreams, the warm aroma, like a long-lost old friend reappearing in dreams, near or far, elusive, I breathe greedily, the aroma of coffee gradually becomes It became his smell, elegant and warm, familiar and serene feeling immediately surrounded me, there was a faint smell of cigarettes in the dream, and a faint scent of mint.That's exactly what he smells like!

I often cry until dawn in my dreams.When I woke up, I felt weak and didn't even have the strength to turn over.That night I dreamed of him again, the hazy figure against the lights of Seattle's harbor, I tried to get close to him, but when I was about to get close to him, the dream woke up.It was already bright, and the morning sun shone through the gauze curtain into the room. I leaned weakly against the head of the bed and took a deep breath, unable to confirm that I was still alive for a long time.Then I called the United States, and it was Julia who answered the phone.

"Has sir been back?"

"I came back once and went out again."

"Where have you been?"

"do not know."

I took the bus to go to work in the company, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a large bunch of white roses on the workbench, and the fragrance of roses filled the room, which was extremely fresh.I stared at the bouquet of roses in a daze.Yingzhu just opened the door and came in, shouting exaggeratedly, and flew towards the interspersed signature, "Keven? Which fairy?"

I sat down to work in silence.

"Wow, it was brought here by air from the Netherlands." Yingzhu seemed to be very knowledgeable, smelling the roses and screaming, "Damn girl, why are you always luckier than me, and you are always favored by outstanding men."

"Isn't your camel excellent?"

Yingzhu snorted and gritted her teeth, "This guy, from the time I met him to now, I haven't even received a dog's tail flower. How can I accept such a precious rose as soon as I receive it? It's very expensive. Now I buy this kind of flower It’s rare to see a man who gives away a lot.”

I turned on the computer and said perfunctorily, "There are more rich men in Shenzhen."

"Then you should take good care of it and fall in love. A woman cannot live without love, otherwise she will wither faster than this flower!"

"I've withered."

"Tch!" Yingzhu held the flowers and couldn't put them down, so I made a favor, "I will send you flowers, if you like it."

"Really?"

"It's just a bunch of flowers, take it."

Yingzhu rushed over and kissed me hard on the cheek, "It's not bad, I didn't hurt you in vain!"

Half an hour later, Chen Jinsen suddenly appeared in the conference room. I was not prepared for it. Yesterday I heard Gao Peng say that there was a very important negotiation today, and it turned out that the opponent was him!On the negotiating table, he negotiated the contract with Gao Peng in a pompous manner, with ease and strategizing, obviously a master of negotiation.From the beginning to the end, I didn't say a word, I buried my head in my pen and pretended to record something.But I could feel that his fiery gaze passed over my face from time to time, making me even more afraid to look up at him.Halfway through the negotiation, when it was meal time, Gao Peng kindly invited him to have dinner with the accompanying executives, and he politely replied: "Thank you, no need, just let Miss Bai eat with me alone, the specific cooperation Let her talk to me about the matter, OK, that's it!"

Gao Peng's smile froze immediately, and Yingzhu on the side was also very surprised, and swept my face inquiringly. "I'm sorry, I don't understand business matters." I said embarrassedly.

Chen Jinsen laughed and patted my shoulder gently, "It's okay, I'll teach you!"

There was a lot of booing.All the employees present were staring at me, especially Young Joo, with arms crossed, looking at me with a malicious smile...

The Four Seasons Hall in Shangri-La is so gorgeous that it makes people cramped.

"Do you like the flowers I sent?" He asked straight to the point.

I lowered my head and didn't answer.

"Why, you don't like to eat with me?" Chen Jinsen didn't order Western food this time, but specially ordered Hunan cuisine, and poured wine for me with a smile, "Actually, I don't need to cooperate with your company for this business, but I I still choose you, do you know why? You should know, you are so smart..."

"I'm not smart at all. If I'm smart, I'm reduced to having dinner with my clients." I said coldly.

Chen Jinsen paused, his smile froze, and his face changed slightly, "Is it embarrassing for you to eat with me? If so, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. But I sincerely want to have a meal with you, so I worked tirelessly I came here from Hong Kong, in fact, there is no need for me to personally come forward for this kind of advertised contract..."

"Thank you, I'm honored, but I really don't have an appetite." After saying that, I stood up, grabbed my handbag and walked out of the restaurant quickly without looking back.Chen Jinsen immediately chased me out and grabbed my arm at the door, "What's wrong, did I say something wrong? I'm sorry, I don't know..."

"No, how could you be wrong? You can't be wrong with such an honorable status!" I looked at him expressionlessly. I don't care if this business can't be done. For some reason, I care about myself in front of him. With humble and poor self-esteem, "You should find someone else to negotiate a contract, I don't understand."

"I said I can teach you, what's wrong with you, why suddenly..." Chen Jinsen was frightened, I started to cry in front of him, he panicked and grabbed my arm at a loss , "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be so direct."

I don't know why I broke down suddenly, and I hid my face and cried at the entrance of Shangri-La in front of everyone. Chen Jinsen had to pull me back to the hotel lobby, helped me sit on the sofa beside him, took out a handkerchief and wiped my tears very gently , And grandly put his arms around my shoulders, coaxing me softly, the warm expression and voice made me gradually stop crying.

"Don't cry, okay, I feel so sad when you cry, I don't know why I made you cry." Chen Jinsen's arms became tighter and tighter, his face was getting closer and closer, his breath was shallow and light, and he brushed warmly on my face.

My will became inexplicably blurred, I stared blankly at him from the side, the face carved like marble was very close at hand, what happened to me, how could I be crooked in his arms?I stood up in a jerk, startling Chen Jinsen who was immersed in gentle comfort.

"I'm sorry." I realized that I had made a fool of myself, and I covered my face with my hands, feeling ashamed.

Chen Jinsen stood up, recovered himself, and acted like a polite gentleman again, "It's me who should say sorry, I'm so sorry, I really didn't expect to make you cry. Go in and eat, you haven't eaten yet Yes, you're thinner than the last time I saw you."

I obediently followed him back to the restaurant.But when I turned around, a few men in suits and leather shoes came out from the elevator in the lobby, all of them had stern faces and extraordinary manners.I recognized the man walking in the middle at a glance. He was wearing a navy blue suit, exquisite rimless glasses, his eyes were fixed, and his steps were steady and vigorous. What he said, those people around him nodded submissively, obviously they were his subordinates.

I was so startled that I wanted to jump up, Qi Shuli!
There's nowhere to go, a conspiracy?How did you see him in this kind of place at this time?He's been fine in Seattle, what's he doing here?Clean me up? !It was so over the top, it wasn't believable, it wasn't some bloody adventure at all, it was fate repeating itself, and my heels were glued to the floor and I couldn't move at all.

Obviously he also saw me, stopped and stood there, like a ruthless killer, killing me with merciless eyes, not giving me any room to survive.

I was stunned, on the verge of falling, and my hands and feet were cold in an instant...
