wasting time with you

Chapter 28 If It Wasn't For You (3)
It was not the intention to force her, but she was eager to draw a line with him when she disagreed with him, how could he hold his breath?Even now, Mu Yan said to himself in his heart: Since the words have been made clear, there is no reason to take them back, and today she must be forced to admit her intentions.On the one hand, he couldn't control his heartache, and wrapped his arms around her gently as if he had his own consciousness. He softened his tone, "Don't cry, I'm impatient and said too much, I won't force you."

The temperature in his arms, the strength of his arms, and the unique masculinity on his body make people feel inexplicably weak.An Yiruo buried her head in front of his chest, clutching his coat tightly with both hands, crying very sadly.

Mu Yan stopped persuading her and let her vent, until she was tired from crying, then raised her face, and gently caressed her cheek with a hand slightly swollen from holding the gun for a long time, "I was wrong before, what should I say?" I never said the words out of my mouth. I thought letting go would fulfill your happiness, but I didn’t expect to bring you even greater harm. If I knew that my late return was in exchange for your marriage news, I would never spend more time in Yunnan. Stay for a day. About Xiao Ran, I think I need to explain clearly that there is nothing between me and her. Although we got close for about a year because of work, I never thought of liking her. That day she What I said was not true, we were in the same room the night I went to my sister, but nothing happened, I never touched her." He took her hand and put it on his chest while speaking, and said: "I owe you You explain, I borrowed a hug from you, and I was late to confess, An Yiruo, give me a chance, I can't look at the person I like from afar."

A year of undercover work brought Xiao Ran to him, but to her, he was a ruthless lover, so when faced with her frequent love gestures, he firmly refused, never gave her hope, and never procrastinated.

As if looking into her heart, Mu Yan looked into her eyes, "Have you heard a word?"

An Yiruo signaled him to continue with his eyes.

"Don't kiss someone you don't love." He paused, his slender fingers touched her lips gently, caressed them gently, and then slowly slid down to her collarbone. Finally, Mu Yan bowed his head, his tenderness His lips were imprinted on An Yiruo's forehead for a long time.

As if the universe was already prehistoric, An Yiruo heard his mellow voice from the top of his head, "Don't be stubborn, don't be so stupid, I can wait for you for as long as you want, as long as you don't run away in a hurry. Let's wait slowly." Take your time, okay?"

Countless emotions were crazily intertwined, reluctance, pain, longing, and even nostalgia, gathered in his heart, An Yiruo closed his eyes, flustered.

Mu Yan sent An Yiruo home and left, full of joy. Although she didn't promise anything clearly, he was satisfied with her words, "Give me time."

Lifting her face, as if looking into her heart, Mu Yan said, "I'll wait for you. But, don't make me wait too long."

Such sincere and expectant words made An Yiruo uncontrollably moved. When he raised his head, he saw himself with the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards in his eyes.She thought, fate is the most wonderful thing in the world, it cannot be avoided, it cannot be avoided, what is yours is yours after all, not yours, no matter how much you want to hold it in your hand, it will slip down from your palm like quicksand, completely It's up to people to decide.

An Yiruo didn't know how the fate of Mu Yan and Mu Yan were tied together, but he could only vaguely feel that somewhere in time, they were getting closer step by step.Recalling the last time I ran into Xi Shuoliang, the faint smile on his lips without warmth, she realized that their love that could never be balanced would be gone with the wind.

Mu Yan is actually very busy, and the special nature of his work prevents him from spending more time with her, but he will try his best to arrange time to meet up, sometimes pick her up from work, sometimes pick her up for dinner, sometimes even run downstairs to her house in the morning, Seeing her surprised expression, she raised her eyebrows: "It's a bit exciting for the two of you to run together, otherwise I doubt if you went downstairs for a walk." Then, without waiting for her to speak, she ran forward.

An Yiruo only had the strength to smile wryly, and panted slightly to catch up with him: "Even if it's not for a walk, you don't have to run so fast, you want to be exhausted."

The expression of reproach was unintentionally revealed, which made Mu Yan laugh, "Girl who lacks exercise, children are better than you."

She wanted to refute him a few words, but she heard him remind slowly: "If you don't speed up and run back, you will be late for work."

She heard the words and looked around, only to realize that she had run too far, subconsciously let out a low cry, she turned around and ran back.

Mu Yan was still laughing at her, "Take a car if you can't run, I won't laugh at you."

An Yiruo turned around and stared at her, only to see him smiling and pointing at Daqiu who was parked by the side of the road, "Do you want a free driver?"

In the blink of an eye, when the first snow fell in City A, the relationship between An Yiruo and Mu Yan had already improved significantly.He walked in her life calmly, did not disrupt her pace, and did not waste any contact that could bring him closer.

On the weekend when he came back from a short business trip, he called her, "Are you free tomorrow, let's go to Ziyue's club together?"

"Tomorrow we agreed to go to Feifei's studio, next time." Instead of making excuses to refuse like before, she frankly explained the reason why she couldn't make the appointment.

Hearing that she was not being perfunctory, Mu Yan pretended to complain, "It seems that I can only play billiards with Da Li's bachelors, what a wonderful weekend."

You are also a bachelor.An Yiruo imagined his childish expression, and smiled slightly: "Are you good at billiards? I want to learn."

He frowned, "What kind of billiards do girls learn?"

Why can't girls learn?

"You discriminate against women?" An Yiruo accused, "Now men and women are equal, Team Mu."

Equality between men and women?Follow wherever.

Hearing that she deliberately called him Team Mu, Mu Yan chuckled, "Then learn, but I charge tuition."

"How to bill?"

"One dinner an hour."

"No problem. But I have the final say on what to eat."

"I've never seen such a student who can bargain. Then what do you buy me?"

An Yiruo suppressed a smile, "KFC."

Mu Yan almost sprayed water on the computer, "Is that what Chenchen ate, and you used it to send me off?"

An Yiruo smiled lightly.After hanging up the phone, she recalled the details of getting along with Mu Yan, and she didn't understand why he walked into her world quietly, without even giving her a chance to resist.

Still at work, Mu Yan's text message arrived as scheduled.

"I came back from the mission in the early morning, so I didn't dare to call you. Is the world still peaceful? Are there any terrorists? How about being escorted home by the people's police at night?"

"Do you remember Zhang Heng, the police officer who confiscated your car last time? He came to my office today and said before leaving that I smiled very kindly recently, encouraging them to laugh up and down. Do you think this group of boys are not clean? What do I do? Let’s say he’s their boss, and he doesn’t save me any face. To put it too far, in fact, I just want to say: When will you make me smile more kindly?”

When there was no one around, she lowered her head and read the messages one after another, feeling an indescribable joy fluffing to a corner of her heart, full of warmth.

Mi Yu's manager arranged for her to take a group photo shoot, and An Yiruo designed a dress for this purpose.When trying it on, Mi Yu took her arm and said slyly, "You've been full of spring recently, isn't Comrade Captain good? When did you join him?"

An Yiruo didn't say much, and motioned for her to turn around solemnly, and exerted a little force on his hand when pulling the zipper.

The waist of the dress was tightened a bit as a mischief, and Miyu yelled, "You're going to murder, I'm out of breath."

An Yiruo patted her pretty buttocks: "Don't gossip too much."

Mi Yu frowned aggrievedly: "I just remind you that the free time is not too long."

When leaving the rice fish company, I received a new message from the animal husbandry team.

"I went to the cafeteria for lunch, and Dali asked me seriously if I needed to requisition someone's car."

Before she just read those text messages and never replied, this time she asked, "What do you say?"

"I said: You don't need to ask for instructions for this kind of thing, you can handle it at your own discretion."

An Yiruo's reply came quickly, she said: "You are going too far."

Mu Yan guessed that her tone was not angry, but she replied soothingly: "You should have confidence in me. I never lie to others in this kind of thing. Be good."

It's obviously just information, and the tone cannot be heard, but I can still feel the ambiguity and love between the lines.

An Yiruo's face suddenly turned red.

When she was about to leave work, Mu Yan called to invite her to eat hot pot, An Yiruo deliberately said: "I'm very busy, I have to work overtime."

Mu Yan didn't seem to understand her intentions, "That's just right, I have a meeting in a while, I guess I'll pick you up later, you wait for me at the company."

"Then what if I'm done and you haven't finished the meeting? I don't like waiting for people."

"That's it." Mu Yan paused for a moment, as if he was considering a compromise, "Then you come and pick me up. If someone stops the car on the way, just say it's my girlfriend, and I promise to let you go, and the journey will be smooth."

This man is real.An Yiruo was defeated, "Why didn't I realize that you are so eloquent?"

"Is this a compliment or scolding me?" Mu Yan laughed, and then said in a serious manner, "Isn't it because you inspired me to perform exceptionally well?"

An Yiruo suppressed a smile, "I didn't expect Team Mu to be humble."

"Is this a compliment? I don't read much, don't hurt me, I can't hear it." Mu Yan said, looking down at his watch: "I'll have a meeting first, and I'll pick you up at seven o'clock at the latest."

An Yiruo said considerately: "There's no rush, work is important."

But the other side said solemnly: "I am anxious to see you."

At almost seven o'clock, all the people in the company left, only An Yiruo was still in the office revising the design draft.Hearing the knock on the door, he thought it was Mu Yan who came, and was about to say that he could just make a phone call, why did he come up on purpose, but when he looked up, he saw her boss, Guan Hannan.

An Yiruo got up: "Mr. Guan hasn't left yet?"

Guan Hannan signaled her to sit down with his eyes, "The salary paid to you is really worth it, and you are indeed the most hardworking person in the company."

"I have an appointment later, and my friend is coming to pick me up, so I didn't leave." An Yiruo noticed that his complexion was not very good, "Is Mr. Guan okay? You mentioned before that Mr. Cheng of Aoni Group will meet in the next two days." Come to City A, do you want me to accompany you to meet?" She has been working on this design draft for more than half a month. If she wins the big customer Aoni, the company's sales this year will be twice that of last year. As a designer, there are occasions where she has to be present.

Guan Hannan sighed: "There is no need to hurry up with Aoni's design."

"what?"

"Aoni is a big client that our company is trying to win, but I just heard today that he has a good personal relationship with Hongtai's President Xi. The possibility that we can win this business is almost zero."

It turned out to be the case.

In the fashion industry, such conflicts are inevitable, and An Yiruo is helpless.

The mobile phone on the table rang, and the ringtone was sweet.

Guan Hannan patted her on the shoulder: "You have worked hard during this time, so take a good rest on the weekend."

Mu Yan was very punctual, and received An Yiruo at seven o'clock: "What do you want to eat?"

An Yiruo was not in high spirits: "Didn't you say you want to eat hot pot?"

Mu Yan turned his head to look at her, with a smile in his eyes, "If I say eat KFC, do you have any objection?"

An Yiruo was still in a state of depression because of the loss of Aoni's big client: "You can eat anything."

Just at the red light, Mu Yan held the steering wheel with his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to hold hers, "Are you tired? If you are tired, I will take you home earlier."

His palm was broad and warm, as if carrying a strong electric current, it hit An Yiruo's heart numbly.She struggled for a while and wanted to withdraw her hand, but failed, so she had to remind: "The light is green, why don't you go?"

Mu Yan looked up, and sure enough, the green light was on.He complained angrily: "This lamp is really short."

An Yiruo blushed, not daring to look into his half-smiling eyes anymore, turned her head away, pretending to look at the traffic and crowds outside.

Still eating hot pot according to the original plan, as if knowing that she had a bad stomach, Mu Yan chose a "medicine hot pot", and even prepared yogurt for her before the meal.

Taking advantage of the time before the food was served, Mu Yan asked, "Why are you listless? Did you not get enough rest or was criticized by the boss?"

Seeing his serious face, An Yiruo frowned: "I'm so capable, and it's too late for the boss to praise me. How can I criticize?"

Mu Yan said "oh" in a serious manner: "Then it must be that I am not handsome enough, you look sour when you see me."

An Yiruo was amused, picked up the menu on the table and hit him, "It was your fault in the first place, it caused me to be in a bad mood and I had a big appetite, which ruined my weight loss plan."

"Don't lose weight like others, health is the most important thing." Mu Yan smiled and taught her, "You are so skinny, a gust of wind can blow you down."

"Am I that thin?" An Yiruo didn't care, "If I could really be blown away by the wind, I would save the airfare and travel around the world with the wind."

Mu Yan rolled his eyes at her, "My silly girl, this free travel plan of yours is doomed to fail."

Looking at the face with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn lakes under the hazy yellow light, An Yiruo had a smile on his face, "I'll just dream about it."

Mu Yan's eyes are gentle: "Actually, if you travel alone for free, you will be lonely."

He focused his gaze, looked over from An Yiruo's gaze, and saw his tanned skin through the unbuttoned neckline, as if embraced by a scorching power, it was extremely warm.With his face on fire, An Yiruo sat back on the chair slightly, and coughed softly: "The company may lose a large order."

Her shyness can't be changed for a while, Mu Yan forgave her for changing the subject, "Is it the design draft you have been busy with these days?" Seeing her nodding, he frowned, "I thought it was something that turned the world upside down It's a big deal, it's so distressing."

An Yiruo was dissatisfied: "Isn't this a big deal? How long have I worked so hard?"

"It's always been like this in business, and no matter how strong you are, you can't guarantee victory every time." Mu Yan pushed the yogurt with the straw inserted to her hand, "Huadou is a leading company in the real estate industry, and it was also snatched by Tianyu last month. A big project, Xingyuan is not as usual."

Thinking that Xi Yan had mentioned to her that Wen Xingyuan had lost a project, but accompanied her to the hospital for prenatal checkups regularly as if nothing happened, An Yiruo felt a little relieved.

Knowing that she had listened, Mu Yan suddenly thought of something and smiled: "Xing Yuan said that my cousin's due date is next week, so let's go to the hospital to see the baby together."

An Yiruo didn't pay attention to the meaningful smile on his face, and readily responded: "Okay, I haven't seen Chenchen for a long time."

The waiter served the dishes, and the two happily enjoyed the medicinal hot pot.

An Yiruo ate so hard that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She raised her chin to signal for a tissue, but Mu Yan picked up the tissue, stretched out her hand, and gently wiped it for her across the table.

Naturally, she smiled softly, with strands of tenderness in her chest.

Mu Yan stared at her, her smile at this moment was gentle and sweet, making him feel that no matter how long the wait was, it was worth it.

After sending her home, Mu Yan reported her whereabouts in advance: "I have a mission, and I will go to City G for a business trip tomorrow morning, about a week."

"So long for a week?" An Yiruo was curious: "What task? You want to go there yourself?" The easy life almost made her forget that Mu Yan is a special police officer, a very dangerous profession.

"Secret." Mu Yan turned slightly to shield her from the cold wind, and then pulled up her collar, "Slow down when commuting to and from get off work, your skills are not very good."

An Yiruo was not convinced: "I drive steadily. But you, it seems that you have a lot of speeding records."

Mu Yan patted her forehead: "I need it for work, so don't be too good at learning these things."

An Yiruo blurted out: "That can't be desperate, it's so worrying." After she finished speaking, her cheeks burned instantly, but she couldn't hold back her words, she turned around embarrassedly and wanted to leave.

How could Mu Yan let her go like this?
Holding her hand, his eyes were burning: "Have you ever worried?"

Straight to the point.

An Yiruo tried to break free from his hand: "It's late, I'm going up."

"I didn't say I won't let you go up." Mu Yan clasped her wrist tightly: "I'll let you go after answering."

"What's the answer? I don't understand what you're talking about." An Yiruo said, pulling his hand away with force.

Mu Yan stretched out his hand to pull again, but she broke away with her backhand again, he pulled again, she struggled again.

Repeatedly and stubbornly compete.

Like two awkward kids.
