old love revisited

Chapter 32 Warning (1)
villa.

There was no light in the bedroom, and only the faint light from the garden illuminated that handsome face.

He was sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a lit cigarette in his hand, and several extinguished cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table next to him.

Memories from the past are playing like a slideshow in my mind...

When he was six years old, he stood in front of a towering commercial building and vowed to the people around him, "Brother, when I grow up, I will definitely stand on the highest point of this building so that everyone Look up to me."

When I was eight years old, my parents quarreled and they looked at me coldly.

When he was ten years old, his mother said to him, "Son, you and I, your elder brother can only follow your father..."

He cried for the first time and chased him out, but what he saw was the back of his elder brother leaving with his father.

When I was 11 years old, my brother came back, destitute, but my mother turned me away and didn't allow him to see my brother.

When I was 13 years old, my brother came again, no longer down and poor, my brother told him, "Mom always said you are smarter than me, so she didn't want me, so let's compare now, who is the ultimate winner .”

Later, brother completely disappeared in his world...

After that, no matter how he searched, no matter how he searched, he still couldn't find any news about his brother.

Until recently, the rise of "Ling Tian"...

He remembered that his mother never wanted to call him by his name, but he clearly remembered that his name was Guan Lingtian.

……

Suddenly, he extinguished the unfinished cigarette at hand, picked up the mobile phone on the table and pressed a series of numbers.

Only in front of his mother would his voice be so unsuspecting, and he called out deeply, "Mom."

Guan's mother spat out, "Son, it seems to be midnight over there, why are you still awake so late?"

"I am used to it."

Guan's mother started nagging, "How can you suffer from insomnia at such a young age? Career is important, but your body must also be taken care of. Don't be busy with 'Haotian' affairs all day long... Mom would rather you give up the billion-dollar contract and come back. Have a good drink of the soup Mom made for you."

"In a while."

"You child, you always can't listen like this..."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

"Son, wait, Mom still has something to ask you. Every time I call you, I go to your secretary. It's hard to talk to you..."

He leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes, and his voice was still respectful to his mother, "Well, say."

"Ran Ran called me some time ago... She is really a child who understands righteousness. She doesn't care about past grievances with you, and she also blesses you and Qin Zixin... Son, mom can understand that you and Qin Zixin have been away for so many years Mom also admitted that she changed her attitude towards Qin Zixin after knowing that Qin Zixin was barren, but you have to understand Mom's heart as a mother. Mom wants to have a grandson, and wants a girl with a clean family background to be my daughter-in-law. Ran is the most suitable candidate for daughter-in-law in Mom's mind, Mom likes her..."

After listening quietly, he responded like a child who hasn't grown up, "Mom, you are so long-winded!"

"You brat, you've grown up, right? Now you think your mother is too long-winded. I haven't blamed you for not protecting the child in Ran Ran's belly. As a result, my mother was almost sixty and couldn't hold her grandson. Mom No matter, if mom doesn't have a grandson within two years, you can stay in the United States and find someone to make a good man, and go to your 'Haotian' group..."

Although Guan's mother is not young, her heart is like a child's.

He frowned, and patiently spit out, "The child can't say that he has it."

Guan Mu replied naturally, "You and Qin Zixin are in trouble, but you and Ranran are fine if you say yes!"

"Mom, it's impossible for me and her..."

"How is it impossible?" Guan's mother became excited, "If you continue to ignore her like this, then it's really impossible...I called her yesterday, and she said that she found a job as a secretary , seems to have a new boss, and will leave T City with the new boss recently... Son, although I don't know what kind of person her new boss is, I can tell from her words that she appreciates her. New boss, this is a very dangerous signal, I'm really afraid that Ran Ran will forget you just like that..."

He interrupted loudly, "Mom, my phone is out of battery, let's talk about it next time!"

"Son, son..."

After finishing the call, he casually threw the phone aside.

Still surrounded by his mother's chattering explanation, he continued to close his eyes and lean on the sofa as if he was tired.

"Okay, Mr. Ji, I know that the weather over there is colder than here, and I will bring some more clothes... Well, you should rest early too, see you tomorrow."

Putting down the phone, Qu Ranran looked at Sister Chen who was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at her happily, "May I ask what you want to ask Ms. Chen!"

Sister Chen smiled and formed a line, "Mr. Ji called you?"

Qu Ranran nodded.

Sister Chen escaped happily, "You guys have grown to the point where you have to talk on the phone every night?"

"No, I'm going to City Y tomorrow, he's afraid that I won't know the weather there."

"Even such a trivial question has been thought of, Mr. Ji is really considerate to you this time!"

Qu Ranran replied while folding the clothes at hand, "Okay, don't think about it, he and I are the relationship between the boss and the staff."

Sister Chen smirked, "If you only treat you as an employee, why bother to care about you..."

Qu Ranran stood up at this moment, pulled the curious Sister Chen up, and pushed her out of the room, "Sister Chen, it's late, you go take a shower, I have to finish folding these clothes." asleep..."

"Miss……"

Before Sister Chen finished speaking, Qu Ranran had already closed the door.

Suddenly, the room became quiet again.

Because there were not many clothes, Qu Ranran had already packed the suitcase in a short while, but when she dragged the suitcase to the door, she suddenly looked at the suitcase, a little absent-minded.

If nothing unexpected happened, she would go to City Y with Ji Lingtian tomorrow.

City Y is far away from City T, which means that she doesn't have many chances to come back in the future.

Naturally, she would miss Sister Chen, so she had already made up her mind that when she stabilized in City Y, she would take Sister Chen to City Y with her.

Even though she had thought of everything, at this moment, she felt faintly lost.

She knew that she was starting to lose her temper again, and she tried her best to contain this feeling, but there was still obvious pain somewhere in her chest.

Every time he returns to China, he ends up in T City, because here is his largest branch in the country, which is convenient for him to handle business affairs, so the chances of him meeting her in T City may not be many, but it is not impossible, and once she Leaving T City, even such a slim chance will become completely impossible, which means that she and him really have no chance to meet again in this lifetime.

In fact, she followed Ji Lingtian to City Y because she wanted to completely cut off the chance of encountering him, but when she was about to take action at this moment, she suddenly became timid...

She has always hated herself, hating herself for being so useless.

For a person who has never cared about herself, why can't she let go?But every time she thinks that there is no longer him in her world, she will become very timid.

She didn't dare to let anyone know that she had such timidity, because she knew that maybe no one in this world would be as stupid as her...

Maybe only by completely cutting off the possible intersection with him like this, can she really lose him in her heart...

The next day, Ji Lingtian came early in the morning.

He was dressed casually, but when he got off the car, he still looked dignified.

He didn't have the slightest airs. Seeing Sister Chen dragging her luggage out for her, he immediately helped Sister Chen put the luggage into the trunk.

Sister Chen stepped forward with a smile, "President Ji, please take care of Miss in the future."

Ji Lingtian whispered softly, "Don't worry, I won't let her follow me to suffer."

What Ji Lingtian said was that the boss meant to care for the employees, but Sister Chen deliberately twisted it to understand, and said with a smile, "I know you won't bully Miss."

Facing Sister Chen's appearance of wanting to hand her over to Ji Lingtian, Qu Ranran was embarrassed to stand aside, but couldn't intervene.

Ji Lingtian sat in the carriage, and said politely, "Sister Chen, let's go first."

Sister Chen responded politely, "Okay, Mr. Ji, all the best."

Qu Ranran immediately hugged Sister Chen, "During my absence, you must take good care of yourself."

Sister Chen whispered beside Qu Ranran, "I hope Boss Ji will come back with you to see me next time."

"Sister Chen..." Qu Ranran complained a little.

Sister Chen said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, be careful on the road."

"Ah."

……

The car drove smoothly on the road.

Perhaps to conceal the parting mood, Qu Ranran deliberately pretended to be very happy, and asked, "Mr. Ji, this journey is very boring, why don't we chat!"

"Ah."

"Uh, may I ask offensively, have you always been single?" She had never been able to imagine what kind of private life a man with such a successful career like him would have.

Ji Lingtian smiled, "Do you think I'm getting old?"

Qu Ranran shook her head seriously, "No, that's not what I mean, I'm just curious, if it involves your privacy, you don't have to answer."

Before Qu Ranran finished speaking, Ji Lingtian replied calmly, "I haven't met anyone I like, so I've been single."

Qu Ranran couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Mr. Ji will be a very infatuated person in the future."

"Oh, what about you?"

"what?"

"I've already answered your question, and to be fair, you should also answer one of my questions."

Qu Ranran readily agreed, "Okay, you can ask."

"Since you like her, why did you get divorced in the first place?"

"Ok?"

Ji Lingtian added, "You and Guan Hao."

Qu Ranran was startled for a moment.

Ji Lingtian continued, "That night when you were drunk, you kept calling his name after you fell asleep."

OMG...

Qu Ranran patted herself on the forehead, and asked embarrassingly, "Then you still say that I have good wine!" God knows, she would rather be drunk than mention this person's name.

Ji Lingtian smiled.

Qu Ranran frowned, "Mr. Ji, I now know that you deliberately arranged for yourself to discuss cooperation projects with Guan Hao the next day."

Ji Lingtian said truthfully, "I didn't do that, the meeting was arranged by Mr. Guan."

Qu Ranran lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "Were you surprised that my ex-husband was him?"

"I don't doubt the degree of compatibility between you and President Guan at all. What I'm curious about is why you two went to the point of divorce?"

"Mr. Ji, can I not answer this question?"

"Yes, but..."

Following Ji Lingtian's "but", the car stopped instantly.

Qu Ranran subconsciously glanced out of the car window, only to realize that she had been so busy chatting that she didn't know that Ji Lingtian had already driven the car under the building of the "Haotian" Group.

Holding the steering wheel, Ji Lingtian turned to look at her, "I heard Mr. Guan is going back to America today. If you go up now, you might still have a chance."

Qu Ranran withdrew her eyes fixed on the "Haotian" building, and asked lightly, "Did I make you misunderstand that I want to get back together with him?"

Ji Lingtian shook his head, "I don't think you want to get back with Mr. Guan, but I can feel that you haven't let go."

Qu Ranran took a deep breath and exhaled, "You saw Guan Hao walking out of the hospital with her fiancee that day, right?"

She admits that she is an emotional person, but she has tried to control it.

"Before I didn't know that your mood changes were due to this reason, but that night, you fell asleep and cried but didn't dry it."

Qu Ranran lowered her eyes slowly, and escaped calmly, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

"Ran Ran..."

Qu Ranran interrupted, "Mr. Ji, I know you care about me, but I finally learned to move forward, and I won't look back."

Even if tears are needed to pave the way forward, she will not hesitate.

At this moment, she no longer looked like a child, her eyes were full of maturity and tenacity after the childishness had faded.

He looked at her in a daze, not only indulging in her childish innocence when she was a child, but also deeply attracted by her maturity and tenacity at the moment, this was the first time he touched his heart like this.

"Let's go, Mr. Ji, there may be a traffic jam going to the airport, we'd better not waste time."

"Ran Ran..." Ji Lingtian suddenly called out in a low voice.

She looked at him brightly, "Huh?"

Suddenly, Ji Lingtian hugged Qu Ranran into his arms.

She struggles.

Ji Lingtian didn't let go.

"You..." Qu Ranran was at a loss for a while, until she realized that Ji Lingtian was just hugging her and kissing her hair on the top of her head lightly, then she calmed down.

Ji Lingtian didn't do anything more extreme, after slowly letting go of her, his eyes returned to the front, as if nothing happened, he stepped on the accelerator and drove straight away.

For several days in a row, people sent flowers to the 56th floor of "Ling Tian".

In the morning, at noon and in the evening, there was a big bouquet of roses, which just changed colors every day, which was extremely pleasing to the eye, and also attracted the envy of the lady at the reception desk and the announcement. It didn't take long for the whole "Ling Tian" to be known to everyone. It only caused a small commotion, but when someone accidentally saw the signature on the card inside the bouquet, "Ling Tian" suddenly boiled up and down.

Since then, Qu Ranran's life has undergone great changes...

For example, when walking in the company, she could see groups of female employees discussing her in whispers in the elevator, and cast jealous and disdainful glances at her from time to time, but when she walked into the elevator, these people She became nodding and bowing to her, as polite as a sister, and no one of the male compatriots in the company seemed to have taken the initiative to talk to her, and they were vaguely more respectful to her. In the end, even the sweeping lady on the 56th floor, saw Everyone complimented her, and cleaned her place very clean.

Qu Ranran didn't care about these changes. After all, for more than a month, she has been working as usual, doing her duty with due diligence, and she has never been ambiguous with Ji Lingtian at work. She said things other than work.

However, no one thought that at this very moment, after the company got off work, when there were still a few casual employees chatting comfortably on the 56th floor, Ji Lingtian actually walked out of the office, ignoring the glances of several employees on the floor. Looking straight at her table, she asked, "Have dinner with me?"

Qu Ranran's body was slightly stiff, because this was the first time Ji Lingtian proposed such an invitation to her after she came to Y City.

In a panic, Qu Ranran found a reasonable excuse to avoid, "I still have some work to do."

"Tomorrow is the weekend."

Ji Lingtian directly gave her no excuse to escape.

"Well, I like to get my work done early and stay home on the weekends."

Ji Lingtian frowned slightly.

At this time, a knowledgeable employee ran over and immediately snatched the materials that Qu Ranran was looking at, and said with a smile, "Ranran, I just happened to be fine these two days, let me sort out these materials for you..." Then, without waiting for Qu Ranran's consent, she ran away with the document in her arms.

Immediately afterwards, everyone on the entire floor quietly left in a tacit understanding, and it seemed that only Ji Lingtian and Qu Ranran were left in the space.

Picking up the bag, Qu Ranran spat out in embarrassment, "Then... let's go!"

"Ah."

……

When they walked out of the company, the two were in tandem.

Originally, they didn't intend to avoid taboos deliberately, but they didn't have the habit of walking side by side, but in the eyes of the staff on duty, the two were really avoiding taboos deliberately.

Just like in T city, gentleman Ji Lingtian opened the car door for her.

She sat in and immediately looked out of the car window.

On the way to the restaurant, Ji Lingtian glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Ran Ran, did I scare you?"

"No, I..." Turning her face away, Qu Ranran didn't know how to explain.

Ji Lingtian looked ahead, and his tone was still gentle as usual, "I'm just doing what I want to do, but I don't want to force you, you can keep thinking about it, and I will wait patiently for your reply."

"Mr. Ji..."

"Let's go, I picked a restaurant you like."

……

In the elegant and quiet Italian restaurant, Ji Lingtian and Qu Ranran sat face to face.

Ji Lingtian didn't put any pressure on Qu Ranran at all, and chatted with Qu Ranran as before, "Are you still used to work?"

Qu Ranran lowered her head and focused on cutting the Matlit pizza, and replied, "It's pretty good, and my colleagues in the company are easy to get along with."

"The 'Obasan' on the 56th floor didn't bother you?"

"Ah?" Raising her eyes suddenly, Qu Ranran couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Ji, you actually know 'Obasang'?"

On the 56th floor, there is a very strict manager named Ou Sang. Because she is over [-] years old and still unmarried, and treats her subordinates extremely harshly at work, everyone calls her "Ou Passan" behind her back.

Staring at Qu Ranran's faint smile, Ji Lingtian's mouth slightly curved, "You should know that the boss knows every subordinate well."

Such an atmosphere made Qu Ranran feel at ease again. She put her hands on the table and replied after pretending to ponder, "Actually, can I tell the truth to my boss's boss?"

Ji Lingtian escaped with a smile, "Say."

"Then you can't fire her. In fact, she is serious and responsible in her work, and she has to scold people every day..." She said happily, with a mischievous expression like a child's, and her brows and eyes are full of vigor.

Listening to her talking about these insignificant trifles, he gradually became absent-minded and only looked at her.

……

After returning, Qu Ranran, who drank a little red wine, fell asleep in Ji Lingtian's car.

Ji Lingtian avoided the bustling streets and drove slowly all the way for fear of waking her up.

She was leaning on the seat, her cheeks were slightly red from drunkenness, and she looked charming and charming.

Finally, the car drove to her downstairs.

He should have woken her up and sent her upstairs, but at this moment, he seemed to be possessed, and he just wanted to stay with her in this small compartment, quietly enjoying the space of being alone with each other.

In the quiet compartment, it seems that only the sound of her even breathing when she fell asleep can be heard, and this sound of breathing, like a fatal attraction, made him feel some kind of restlessness in his body...

His eyes were deeply intoxicated by her sleeping face at the moment, and finally, after hesitating, he bowed his head.

However, when he almost touched her lips that were rosy from sleeping, he stopped suddenly.

He has always had strong self-control, but he knows that if the action is allowed to continue at this moment, maybe the next moment he will drive her to the nearest hotel...

However, in exchange for all this, she will be forever unforgivable.

All consciousness is awake at this moment, he still didn't kiss after all...

Just like that, he sat here quietly with her until late at night, when the streets were deserted.

The street lights went out, and he was afraid that she would be afraid, so he took her over and gently put his suit on her body.

She leaned against his arms and slept soundly.

Two days later, New York, USA.

A cute girl hugging a pink pillow looked at her mother with bright eyes and asked innocently, "Mummy, will Uncle Guan come back tonight?"

"Well, so Mommy can't sleep with Xiaoguai tonight..."

The girl hugged the pillow tightly, and said sensiblely, "Qianqian has grown up, Qianqian doesn't want Mommy to sleep with me, Qianqian is not afraid."
