If you hadn't come, how old would you make me

Chapter 45

A dinner with the GP is set for Friday night.

Wen Ran came to work in the company with a small dress in the morning, but when she came back from having dinner with Xiao Xu at noon, she was stopped by the security downstairs to sign for a courier.

Wen Ran opened it and saw that it was an evening dress.Black velvet, with fine pink diamonds and gold tree decorations on the chest, and more importantly, a small shawl.

Who else would make such a conservative evening gown?Wen Ran bit her lip, and secretly slandered: This person must have done it on purpose.

Escaping Xiao Xu's questioning, Wen Ran came to the tea room to call someone Ye.The answer over there was quick: "Have you received the clothes?"

Little Wen gritted his teeth: "I got it."

"Oh, that's good, I'll wear that one at night." Ye Yizhen said while signing a document. These few days are approaching the summer vacation, and he is staying in T City to handle GP affairs.

"No." Wen Ran refused without thinking, "I'm ready."

"That topless one is not allowed." After signing the last document, Ye Yizhen walked to the window and said with a low smile while imagining the grinning expression of little friend Wen, "Even if you wear it, you must wear it." Show me."

"Good idea." Wen Ran muttered, "Are you coming over tonight?"

"Well, do you want me to go?"

Wen Ran: "..."

Ye Yizhen smiled lowly: "Okay, I'll check the time and go when I'm free."

Wen Ran snorted, and hung up the phone. It was 01:30, and it was time for work.But before she walked out of the tea room, the next call came after her. Wen Ran looked down and saw that it was Wen Yuan.

"Far away, what's the matter?" Her tone raised unconsciously, with a joy she didn't realize.

Wen Yuan on the other side hesitated a bit: "Sister, I saw my uncle today."

"Oh, where?"

"at home."

"Uncle came home? Then you're not happy?" Wen Ran joked with a smile.

"It's not because of this." Wen Yuan said hastily, "I just saw an English medical record when I was helping him pack his luggage."

"Uncle's? Is he sick and hospitalized?" Wen Ran asked as he walked towards the office.

"If it belongs to my uncle, I won't call you." Wen Yuan muttered, "Yes, it belongs to Uncle Ye."

Suddenly stopped, Wen Ran clenched the phone and asked uncontrollably, "What?"

At six o'clock in the evening, Wen Ran went to the reception by car with Xiao Xu.

He was wearing an evening dress sent by someone Ye, with a coat over it.With such a dress, one would feel cold in the mild weather in early June.

"Are you okay? Why is your face pale?" Xiao Xu couldn't help asking worriedly.

"It's okay." Wen Ran shook her head and couldn't help wrapping up her coat.

The venue was very spectacularly arranged. Xiao Xu sighed a few times and said, "The boss has spent a lot of money this time. Do you think the GP has provided friendship sponsorship? Their people still want to eat and drink?"

Wen Ran laughed, pushed her and walked inside.

People are almost here.

Wen Ran could feel that many of the company's female colleagues present were well-dressed, holding wine glasses, their eyes scattered everywhere, and they could tell their intentions just by looking at each other.It seems that these days, there are quite a few people who hate to marry.

She turned her head and picked up a glass of champagne, the sweet and sour taste immediately swept over her taste buds.

After a while, the big BOSS came, dressed in black formal attire, which fascinated many people.Not long after Wen Ran entered the company, he had heard countless times about the deeds of BOSS. It was rumored that he was the youngest son of the chairman of a leading real estate company in City B, and opening this company in City T was purely for fun.

Xiao Xu is very disdainful of these rumors, and she admires the BOSS: "People who say these things are standing up and talking without pain in the back. If we are playing tickets, do we still have to work so hard to find investors? Get some money directly from City B." If the money comes, you will get it."

Even in those wealthy families, there are always some outliers.They don't rely on their families, they only believe in their own strength. BOSS is, so is he.

Thinking of this, Wen Ran casually glanced around, but didn't see the familiar slender figure.Wen Ran bit her lip subconsciously, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled uncontrollably.

She couldn't help but think again of Wen Yuan's call received at noon today, where she told her that the medical record showed that he had undergone an operation and had two re-examinations in a certain hospital in London.

The time was the three months when he left, and he didn't mention this to her at all after he came back? !
How much did he hide from her?

Thinking of these Wen Ran felt panic and fear.

"Why don't you go play with them?" At some point, Chu Lin sat beside her with a drink.

Wen Ran suddenly came back to his senses, and said awkwardly: "Oh, I, I don't know how to dance, and it will probably be a disappointment if I enter the dance floor."

Chu Lin also chuckled: "Oh, what a coincidence, I don't know how to do it either, why don't we come and have a chat?"

Well?Wen Ran was taken aback for a moment, then smiled with great interest: "Yes, but what shall we talk about?"

Chu Lin suddenly turned his head, stared at her for a few seconds, and smiled strangely: "Wen Ran, are you a little afraid of me?"

"Huh?" Wen Ran was a little surprised, "Director Chu, you misunderstood, I..." She was a little restless.

Chu Lin smiled and pressed her shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I was just joking."

Uh, it seems that Director Chu is really in a good mood, and he still has time to joke with her.

Wen Ran couldn't help but feel ashamed, and sat down beside him again, but she didn't know what the man beside him was thinking.

Chu Lin still remembered the first time he saw Wen Ran. At that time, the personnel department was recruiting, and they transferred a person to assist in the recruitment. Since the position being recruited was very important, he was there in person.

The recruitment that day was surprisingly unsuccessful. I don't know whether he was too demanding or the quality of the applicants was not good enough. It was always getting dark, and he still hadn't found the person he wanted.At this moment, Wen Ran walked in.

She wore a standard suit and perfectly outlined her figure. She sat down in front of a group of examiners, her expression very indifferent.

He followed the procedure and asked her a few questions, and she answered them surprisingly well.He basically had an idea in mind, and listened to the last question asked by a colleague from the personnel department next to him.

"Miss Wen, you are a graduate student from a domestic institution of higher learning. What are the standards for career planning?"

At that time, she was taken aback for a moment, and then answered softly: "I don't have any standards, I just want to do something so that I can have a new start."

Such an answer was not the best, but it surprised him, so he kept her.

A low cry brought him back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw a man walking in from outside the hall.He was dressed in a simple and elegant style, with a white shirt under a black windbreaker, and the purple cufflinks on the cuffs were very conspicuous.He has seen the pair of cuff buttons many times, they should not be expensive, but this man always wears them.

Ye Yizhen, he whispered the man's name, and the person next to him who was drowsy also moved his body, he looked subconsciously, and saw that she was getting off the chair in panic, unsteady and sprained. heel.

Chu Lin quickly reached out to support her, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Wen Ran shook his head reluctantly, and leaned down to rub his ankle while rejecting Chu Lin's help.During this period, she could still feel his gaze skipping over her, although it was only for a moment, it was like a thorn in her back.

She straightened up, watched him frown, and wanted to head towards her.Reluctantly, he was stopped by the big boss and led to the rostrum.And Wen Ran just looked at him, sneered, and put down his wine glass.

The whole hall suddenly made her feel a little suffocated, and she wanted to go out to get some air.Refusing Chu Lin's company, she slowly came to the door.

Just unconsciously poured a lot of wine, Wen Ran stood at the door, his head was in a state of chaos, unable to think.

After a while, she suddenly sneered.

Seeing her like this, the doorman couldn't help coming forward and asking if he needed to call her a car, Wen Ran shook his head, and walked forward with superficial steps.

Seeing that she was about to step into the air, a strong arm supported her in time. She looked back in panic, and the person she saw made her speechless for a moment.

He frowned slightly, and still held the coat she had thrown somewhere in his hand. Facing her who smelled like alcohol, his tone was really not good: "Drunk and running around?"

She stared at him blankly for a few seconds, and finally shook his arm neatly, and continued to walk forward.

Immediately, he was hugged by the waist.Wen Ran turned her head angrily: "What are you doing?"

"Where do you want to go like this?" He frowned and wrapped her in his coat.

Wen Ran couldn't move, she was about to pass out of anger: "Let me go!" She tried to yell, but after drinking, she couldn't get up, her voice was soft, and she simply used her hands and feet.

His shaved suit was quickly disfigured by her. He had never been so embarrassed before, but he suddenly lost his temper, stared quietly at her who was angry, and then smiled.

"Ran Ran, what's the matter?" He ran along her hair, "Are you angry because I didn't let you wear that dress?"

"Am I that childish?" She retorted sharply, suddenly feeling a little tired, "Or, in your opinion, I've always been like this?"

Not growing up, like a childish child.So he didn't tell him when things happened, and when he was in trouble, he kept it from her, and even avoided her.

"What's the matter?" Ye Yizhen suppressed his smile, because he understood that she was not joking now.

Wen Ran stared at him for a long time before saying, "Would you be afraid to do the surgery alone?"

These words made his pupils shrink suddenly, and the hand hugging her waist tightened unconsciously.

With such two simple actions, she confirmed everything.

"Liar! Scoundrel, rascal, big liar!" She grabbed his collar and beat him.

Ye Yizhen looked at her with lowered eyebrows, and didn't move for a long time, letting her vent all the time.Finally, when Wen Ran gradually lost her strength, Ye Yizhen pinched the back of her head and asked in a low voice, "Who told you?"

"Why, if I don't tell you, you will continue to lie to me, won't you?" She said, "Will you admit it only if I bring you the medical records?"

Now, he understood.

Ye Yizhen looked at her and smiled slightly: "Ran Ran, I know you are still angry, but can we change the place? Are you not afraid that your colleagues will laugh at you?"

"You are not afraid of anything, what am I afraid of!" She glared at him, but it was powerless.

"I'm their boss, they don't dare, what about you?" He looked at her with a smile, not afraid of adding fuel to the flames.

Wen Ran glared, and then—compromise, the result of the compromise was in his car.The car drove slowly towards the distance, and he drove very slowly, as if he was not in a hurry.And Wen Ran was sitting in the back row with the window half down, and the cool wind blowing in made her more than half sober.

Ye Yizhen occasionally turned his head to look at her, but she stared back mercilessly.Someone had no choice but to smile lightly, turned around and concentrated on driving.

The car was parked at a coffee shop outside the community, and he got out of the car and walked towards the coffee shop.Wen Ran came back to his senses, and wanted to open the door, only to find out - this man actually locked the car? !Wen Ran thumped the car door angrily, and then quickly shrank back.It hurts!
After a while, Ye Yizhen opened the back door, saw Wen Ran grinning with his hands covered, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"Why did you lock the car?" Wen Ran asked.

And someone just handed over a cup of hot tea, and then said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm just afraid that you will run away."

Wen Ran: "..."

"Drink tea, Ran Ran."

"Don't call me so intimate, I didn't forgive you!" She turned her head away, "You are a big liar!"

He looked at her for a long time, then smiled dotingly: "I didn't lie to you."

"Still said no?!" She stood up excitedly, almost hitting her head again like last time.The reason why it didn't this time was because there was a hand protecting it all the time.Wen Ran felt his hand, was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly her eyes were red.

Ye Yizhen finally sighed, leaned over and hugged her.

His embrace has always been very warm, and every time he hugs her, Wen Ran will feel extremely stable.She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if she lost such a hug.

In the end, he proved it to her, and she would be confused, sad, and sad.And all of this disappeared so quickly after he came back, so fast that she herself couldn't believe it.

They seem to have returned to the past, but he is no longer her teacher, nor is she his student.Like thousands of couples in love, they are together.

So, when she found out that he had concealed such a big thing from her, she had mixed feelings.There is anger, there is anger, and more is worry.

"Stop crying, Ran Ran." He kissed her temples lightly, "Actually, it's just a minor operation, there's no big problem."

"Isn't it a big problem for you to disappear without a trace for three months?" She asked with a pair of walnut eyes.

Ye Yizhen was startled, and found that this question was a bit difficult to explain, so he had to adopt a roundabout policy.He hugged her onto his lap, letting her struggle and not let go.

"Actually, it's a long story." He pondered for a moment, then looked up at her.

Wen Ran snorted: "Then you can make a long story short!"

He couldn't help smiling, smoothed her hair and said, "Do you still remember the time I went to London on a business trip? It was supposed to be two weeks, but I came back in one week."

Of course she remembered that she was called home by her aunt that day to talk about her boyfriend, but she ran into him on the way out.He also cooked for her for the first time that night and made a sumptuous dinner.

"Actually, there was something wrong with the project that time. The investment in that project was huge, so the boss asked me to take charge of the project with Xingzhi, but later it was found out that the source of the money was unknown, and maybe it had something to do with the black forces." , We put it on hold. However, some funds have already been invested in the market, and it is very troublesome to recover, which caused a lot of losses to the party eager to withdraw the funds, and we were targeted.”

"why?"

"Because the other party suspects that we have misappropriated their funds on purpose. Do you still remember Wen Yuan's car accident?"

"Is it related to them?"

"What Xingzhi means should be them." He paused, then continued, "Maybe they knew that Xingzhi was Wen Yuan's uncle, and the two of them were close, so they wanted to use this as a threat. Fortunately, there was traffic The speed of the car was so slow that the car accident did not cause much damage. Otherwise, Wen Yuan now..."

The consequences are unimaginable.

Wen Ran suddenly felt scared: "It's no wonder my uncle hasn't shown up after Yuan Yuan's car accident." Suddenly remembered something, she looked up at him, "You, are you worried, I was used to threaten you like Yuan Yuan ?”

"I was a little scared." He stared at her and smiled, "But that matter was resolved in less than a month, and the rest of the time was spent on surgery."

Speaking of being on time, Wen Ran immediately straightened up and asked him, "Why the surgery?"

"Migraine." He said, "It wasn't very serious at first, but it may have been caused by overwork and the right side of the brain twitched violently. I had no choice but to undergo surgery. After the operation, I rested for more than a month, and coffee and alcohol were completely banned. "

Seeing her staring at him for a moment, Ye Yizhen added: "I'm fine now, much better."

"Nonsense!" she said, "You obviously drank in the hotel a few days ago!" He drank the whole glass of wine Vice President Liu offered him.

Professor Ye looked at her with some helplessness: "Isn't that because you are disobedient? If you are obedient and follow me, how can I still have that glass of wine?"

Wen Ran was startled, and lowered her head sadly.It seemed to be like this, she was so capricious at that time, she didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

Ye Yizhen couldn't see her sad, so he lifted her head and rubbed it: "Ran Ran, I don't blame you..."

Her eyes were slightly red, and she grabbed his collar and asked, "Then you still lied to me that it was Mr. Ye!"

"I didn't lie to you. The old man put me in confinement after sending you home that day. He didn't let me go to England for surgery until Xingzhi resolved the matter." He said, frowning slightly, "In short, that time was very long. confusion."

Not only to worry about her, but also to endure the pain, and there is an old man who doesn't understand him.All the problems came one after another, and it must have taken a lot of effort to deal with them, not to mention that he was still sick at that time.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to call her, it was just that during that period of time, he had a great reaction to the sensitive experiment before the operation, and his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak. Whenever he called, he would definitely scare her.

He didn't say these things because he was afraid that she would overthink and worry.You see, even though she's fine now, she's still crying all over the place.

"Wen Ran, it's okay..." He kissed her tears.

Wen Ran choked up and said, "You, if you tell me everything, I will definitely forgive you." She would never torment him like that.

He smiled softly: "Isn't this a guilty conscience, I want to make you angry anyway."

"You, you are so annoying!"

"Well, I hate it."

He accepted it all, but it made her feel even more guilty.

Wiping away her tears, she looked at him, hugged him softly, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

He hugged her with ease, and said with a low smile, "I would be more willing to listen to the other three words."

Wen Ran wanted to cry, but the atmosphere of sincere apology he managed to create was completely destroyed by someone rogue.

"Don't be too complacent, I have to reconsider whether to forgive you now." She curled her lips, "Who told you to be so insincere when you confessed your wrong attitude?"

"Isn't that sincere enough?" Professor Ye suddenly felt a headache, "Okay then, I'll use the old method."

"What's the old way?!" Wen Ran was puzzled, and didn't understand until his kiss was suppressed. The old way is - if what you say doesn't work, then do it!

Wen Ran couldn't help crying: Professor Ye, you are too shameless!
