aren't we in love

Chapter 9 Even if seven years have passed

Early this morning, Cheng Duanwu felt that something seemed wrong.

She just went to the toilet, and when she came back, several packs of yogurt with gifts on the shelf were broken. She has encountered such things in the past. In a place with a lot of traffic like a supermarket, the monitoring system is almost useless for small losses. , The colleagues in the monitoring room for a few packs of yogurt will not help find someone, let alone compensation, so the shopping guide can only admit that he is unlucky.

She was in a pretty good mood recently, but she didn't care too much about it, but she cut her hand again when she was packing up her things, her fingers connected to her heart, and blood dripped out one by one.She wiped it grinningly, calling out unlucky.

After yelling all morning, I finally sold out the last bit of inventory with bad dates. At noon, I changed my work clothes and prepared to have rice bowl with my colleagues.Unexpectedly, as soon as she changed her clothes, she was blocked in the staff lounge.

It was Guan Yi who I had just met not long ago.

She naturally knew that Guan Yi would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she couldn't help being startled nervously. She forced herself to ask calmly, "Is there something wrong?"

Guan Yi looked at her condescendingly, the expression on his face was still so solemn, "Boss has something to see you."

Cheng Duanwu finally had a trace of resistance. She frowned and said stubbornly: "What is Mr. Lu going to do? If he wants me to get out, I'll get out. If he wants his son, I'll give it to him. What else does he want? "

Guan Yi's expression didn't change at all, as if he had expected her resistance, "Boss has something to see you, I hope you can give me convenience, everyone can handle it easily."

"Why should I?" Cheng Duanwu waved his hand to try to get Guan Yi out of the way, but Guan Yi still didn't move. Cheng Duanwu said angrily, "What's going on? If you don't let me go, I'll call the police!"

Guan Yi finally felt a little moved. He looked at Cheng Duanwu with some embarrassment, and took a deep breath: "Duanwu, why bother with him? You can't win no matter what."

Cheng Duanwu stared angrily, "Am I tormenting him or is he tormenting me? Guan Yi, if you still treat me as a friend, get out of the way!"

"Duan Wu, you left today, what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? And... your child... Hey, I really don't know what to say about you, why do you have to humiliate yourself? Is it not enough?"

"I used to be stupid, but I can't do it now when I wake up?" Speaking of the child, Cheng Duanwu was finally defeated, and she sighed helplessly: "For the past mistakes, the price I paid is not enough? Why don't I Will you let me go?"

"..."

In the end, Cheng Duanwu compromised and left with Guan Yi.She didn't embarrass him, she saw the past affection after all.Cheng Duanwu sat in the car without saying a word, Guan Yi almost doubted whether he really brought someone in the car.

Guan Yi was the same age as Cheng Duanwu, and he used to be Lu Yingqin's closest friend with Cheng Duanwu.Although Lu Yingqin didn't like Cheng Duanwu, he also condoned the relationship between the two of them, which made Guan Yi care more about Cheng Duanwu than others.

These years Lu Yingqin has been doing well, he has all the money, power, and women, but he always seems to be expressionless, and Guan Yi feels that he is too rigid to be human.

He liked Yu Jiajia before he made a fortune. Guan Yi saw that he hadn't taken her seriously all these years. Even though he promised, he never got married. No one could see clearly what was going on in his heart.

Yu Jiajia has always been a smart woman, she always knows what to say when.For example, when he came back that day, even Guan Yi knew that Lu Yingqin felt a little unhappy seeing Cheng Duanwu and Yu Dong, which made everyone embarrassed.Yu Jiajia pretended not to understand, and said to Lu Yingqin coquettishly, "Yingqin, are you being too cruel to the Dragon Boat Festival? It's not a big deal, why are you so angry?"

Lu Yingqin smiled vaguely, pinched her waist teasingly, and said like no one else: "You just need to know that I won't treat you like this?"

Such an ambiguous sentence can be developed into many possible words, Yu Jiajia didn't get to the bottom of it, and left with a satisfied face.

Guan Yi sometimes felt that this woman was too easy to satisfy?

Sure enough, not long after Yu Jiajia left, Lu Yingqin's whole face changed, and he coldly ordered him to check Yu Dong and Cheng Duan five miles in and out, and finally burst into a rage after seeing a bunch of photos taken by the next person. angry.

Lu Yingqin is not an irritable person, even he is a person who knows how to restrain his emotions, but as long as Cheng Duanwu gets involved, he will become the meanest man in the world, as if Cheng Duanwu inspired his infinite possibilities.

However, Guan Yi felt that only when facing Cheng Duanwu could Lu Yingqin look like a real person.

He looked back at Cheng Duanwu, who was expressionless and completely empty, and thought worriedly, was everything he did right?
Is it the most suitable for these two people to be strangers?
From the day Lu Yingqin saw Cheng Duanwu again, he felt that everything was wrong.Especially when she and Yu Dong chatted and laughed and left after eating, his feeling of something wrong finally exploded to the critical point, and some emotions were urgently needed to be broken.

The pile of photos on the table were all taken by his subordinates.The current Cheng Duanwu is like a fish on the sword to him, he can easily crush her to death with almost no effort.

But for some reason, he actually felt that the current Cheng Duanwu would make him inexplicably concerned.

The photos that are not very clear, some are Cheng Duanwu who is busy ordering goods in front of the freezer, and some are Cheng Duanwu who is trying to shout with a smile. She is no longer the high-spirited "princess" she used to be. Ordinary women are worse than that.The olive green work clothes were washed a little bit, but it didn't affect her beauty at all. Her skin was so white, and the natural luster of her skin made people unable to take their eyes off it.

Lu Yingqin knew that there were many green boys around her who were ready to move towards her, if it wasn't for Cheng Tianda's deterrence, there might be crowds of suitors around her, right?
Only Lu Yingqin is so different, he has always disliked such a self-righteous girl from heaven.Perhaps it has something to do with his experience. Being abandoned by his parents since he was a child caused him to be very indifferent to family affection. He has always despised those who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, thinking that getting it through hard work is the real skill.He disdains getting everything because of a woman, he disdains the superficial envy of everyone, and he can't stand the sour ridicule from others behind his back.

The time when he was forced to be with Cheng Duanwu was the biggest stain in his life, which directly caused Lu Yingqin to be unable to respond to the many emotions Cheng Duanwu imposed on him.

It's just that Cheng Duanwu at that time had the spirit of not bumping his head against the south wall and not looking back, and not dying when he saw the Yellow River. The more indifferent he was to her, the more clingy she became.

In the end, Cheng Duanwu had nothing left. Cheng Duanwu, who fell into hell, had no ability to fight back. She looked at him blankly, her pale face was bloodless, and her originally clear eyes were completely dim. It was in a pleading tone that Lu Yingqin was not sure if he heard it, "Yingqin, have you really... never liked me? Never?"

She was obviously asking him, but her eyes drifted away absently, her expression was so sad, before Lu Yingqin could answer, she said to herself: "I know you have never liked me, you have always... yes I am self-indulgent, wishful thinking..."

With such a desperate tone, she didn't shed a single tear.

What a crybaby she is Lu Yingqin has always known that a small injury or pain can make everyone around him jump.Miss Qianjin can do nothing but torment people, and she never gets tired of doing it over and over again.

But when such an earth-shaking change happened, she suddenly became a different person, and she couldn't cry anymore.

Lu Yingqin sometimes thinks that if Cheng Duanwu can learn half of Yu Jiajia's knowledge, let him master it obediently, and know when to give in, maybe he won't kill them all like that.

He stood in front of the window, the sunlight outside the window was dazzling, he could almost see the fine dust particles flying freely in the air, and he was a little dazed for a while.

In seven years, Cheng Duanwu seemed to have really changed. She was tortured until she lost her temper.

He wants her to get out, she gets out obediently; he wants the child, she obediently gives it to him.

This is obviously what he wants, isn't it?But what was the reason for his heart choking?

Yu Jiajia said that he was too mean to Cheng Duanwu, and Guan Yi also said that he was too mean to her.But he seems to have lost control, as long as he gets attached to Cheng Duanwu's affairs, he can completely lose control and become not like himself.It has to be said that even in the past seven years, Cheng Duanwu is the only one who can make Lu Yingqin angry the fastest.

Lu Yingqin walked to the table and picked up a photo.The back of the photo is a little blurry, but the fixed focus is very clear. Yu Dong is holding a green vegetable and is asking Cheng Duanwu for his opinion. It was dense and long, like two fans half covering her star-like eyes, with a vague sense of mystery.There is no makeup on, but there is a kind of light and natural beauty.

He asked himself in some surprise: How did he never find out that she was actually so beautiful before?
The more he looked at it, the more he felt impatient, but he picked up the photos and read them one by one as if possessed, and he picked up another one. In the photos, Yu Dong and Cheng Duanwu were talking and laughing, each carrying two The shopping bag is so intimate that there is no one else around; the other one shows Cheng Duanwu holding Yu Dong's daughter, who is smiling like a child without knowing what he is talking about; the other one shows vehicles coming and going on the wide road, Yu Dong naturally holding Cheng Duanwu's hand...

For a moment, he felt so angry that he slammed all the photos into the wastebasket. From the corner of his eye, he saw dozens of colorful photos in the wastebasket.

He sat on the armchair restlessly and lit a cigarette. Only when the smoke curled up did he feel the short-lived relief of the oppressed breath in his chest.

When the intercom phone rang, he answered it with a frown, and said in a bad tone, "Hello."

The secretary of the office was startled by his tone, and said tremblingly: "Manager Guan brought a guest to see you, and he said he wanted to see you by name."

Lu Yingqin frowned, "Male or female?"

"It's a lady."

"Let her in." After speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap.

Cheng Duanwu stood in the empty corridor and waited.This is her second time here.Because of her first experience, she was a little apprehensive about this place.

Stepping on the soft carpet in the corridor, she felt uneasy.There was a pot of some kind of plant at the corner of the corridor, lush and lush, Cheng Duanwu stared blankly, pinching his palm nervously.

Guan Yi's dull footsteps forced Cheng Duanwu to raise his head.Guan Yi's expression was a bit complicated, and he said to her in a deep voice, "The boss wants you to go in."

Cheng Duanwu took a few deep breaths and pushed the door open.

Lu Yingqin was smoking with his back facing her, the rising smoke gave Cheng Duanwu the illusion of a time-space transition, as if she had returned to the vortex from last time.

She clasped her hands in front of her belly, and asked him preemptively, "May I ask Mr. Lu for anything?"

Lu Yingqin turned around, looked straight at her with a pair of deep eyes, smiled meaningfully, and put out the cigarette casually, Cheng Duanwu stared blankly at the spark gradually disappearing in the ashtray.

Lu Yingqin said casually, "Miss Cheng, long time no see."

Cheng Duanwu didn't know how to answer for a moment, he froze for a moment, and was about to speak, when he heard Lu Yingqin say with a smile: "Miss Cheng has a good trick now, playing tricks on men. What's the matter? Give birth to my son, but wishful thinking to marry Yu Yu Dong? What do you think you can do? Stir the feelings between us brothers?"

Cheng Duanwu listened to Lu Yingqin's sarcasm, the words and tone were so familiar that she felt helpless.

She sighed softly, feeling a little pain in her heart, "Mr. Lu, you are flattering me too much, I have no purpose."

"Really?" Lu Yingqin smiled sarcastically, and glanced at her coldly: "Yu Dong is stupid, but I am not! Don't think that you can do whatever you want now that he is blindfolded!"

His cold voice made Cheng Duanwu feel that the unforgettable nightmare came to her mind bit by bit, her hands and feet were cold, her limbs and bones suddenly tensed up, her heart was hollow like a leak, and she felt pain .She held her hands tightly, but there was still no warmth.As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a bit of pain in her throat, "Mr. Lu, now I have recognized everything." She turned her eyes unnaturally and drifted away, "I hope that those ridiculous actions in the past Mr. Lu doesn't count the faults of villains, just...forget about it..."

Lu Yingqin's previously relaxed brows frowned again.absurd?Was she saying that her pursuit of him in the past was absurd?Although he himself couldn't bear to look back, he didn't know why he was so breathless when he heard her say it.

He raised his head suddenly, and stared at her with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to tear her apart, "Cheng Duanwu! Don't give me no compliments!" He stood up suddenly, and took out the check folder in the drawer again.Cheng Duanwu felt familiar with that movement and posture.

He was writing with a brush, and the humiliation in his mouth still didn't stop, "Give me the money and be honest! Guan Yi will take you to go through the formalities, the farther away from my brother the better! I'll tell you Cheng Duan Five, don't play tricks on me! Cleaning up a woman like you is like crushing an ant to me!"

After writing the check and stamping his seal, he threw the check over Cheng Duanwu's head with a bang.

He looked down at her condescendingly.It was warm at noon in early spring, and Cheng Duanwu was wearing a simple little coat, revealing a section of snow-white neck, elegant and smooth like a white swan.She lowered her head and looked like a frightened animal. Lu Yingqin was in a daze for a moment.

Cheng Duanwu's eyes were a little blurred, she stared at the check that floated past her eyes without blinking, like a child full of curiosity, as if she was studying something she had never seen before.

Suspicious gleams finally appeared in her dry eye sockets, and she numbly reached out to catch the check.

For the first time in seven years, she boldly looked into Lu Yingqin's eyes.Staring stubbornly and straightly, like a mother animal in a hurry to protect itself.

She tore up the check that Lu Yingqin had just written one by one. The ink that was written with the pen seemed to have not dried completely, and the air seemed to still smell of ink.

With a sound of "swish", she threw the torn check into the air, and the debris danced in the air like a dying butterfly. With Cheng Duanwu's ashes-like expression, Lu Yingqin felt a little shocking.

Across thousands of pieces of debris, Cheng Duanwu said in a voice with almost no warmth: "Mr. Lu, please stop in moderation. People are doing their own work and the sky is watching. I have sorry for you in the past, and I have returned it to you after so many years." .Now if you tell me to go away, I will go away. You want my son, and I will give it to you. What else do you want? My worthless life, if you want it, take it, if you don’t , then I also have the right to live a good life. I know I can't win you, but I never thought of fighting you from the beginning to the end!" She paused, her expression was complicated, and her voice trembled slightly, "Is that not the case? ?”
