Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Lu Ran dumped the entire dismissed project proposal and the resignation letter that she had spent an hour typing on Han Moyan's huge and imposing mahogany boss desk, feeling refreshed like never before in this life: "Han Anyway, I resign."

Five years of secret love, three years of forbearance, all in one go.

Deeper than the heartache was complete relief, and finally, she decided to let go.

Han Moyan raised his eyes, and that delicate and handsome face like a dummy was revealed.

She has endured long enough for this man.

Han Moyan glanced over Ji Ji and Lu Ran with a cold gaze, and said formulaically, "Assistant Lu, stop thinking about it?"

If it were Lu Ran two years ago, no, Lu Ran a year ago might have hesitated just hearing such a voice, but now... Lu Ran just raised the corners of his lips and smiled, with the same voice as an ace assistant. Formulated tone: "I've already thought it through very clearly, Mr. Han, no need."

"Miss Lu, since this is the case, I think you know the old rules. After handing over the work, you can go to the financial department to add up this month's salary, and then you can leave. By the way, go and call Lucy in."

Then he lowered his head and looked at the document, with a natural posture as if nothing had happened just now.

Lu Ran took a slow breath.

Only by forcing yourself to suppress your emotions can you ensure that you don't have an attack in Han Moyan's office.

Obviously I have endured it for so long, and I don't care about it for a while longer.

Although Lu Ran knew that at that moment, she really wanted to punch Han Moyan in the face to see if she could break the mask shrouded in icebergs for thousands of years.

"Miss Lu?" Han Moyan suddenly spoke again.

"What?" Lu Ran didn't respond for a while.

"If it is convenient, send these documents to the sales department."

A stack of documents was placed neatly within Lu Ran's reach. From Lu Ran's angle, Han Moyan's side face could still be seen. His facial features were tough and concise, and his slightly pursed lips showed a bit of indifference, which could be felt just by looking at it. The man's taciturnity and seriousness.

Indeed, Lu Ran knew what kind of man this was like better than anyone else.

Han Moyan can order the subordinate who has just handed in the resignation letter so naturally, as expected...

Lu Ran didn't even look at the document, just pushed open the door of the general manager's office and walked out, regardless of Han Moyan's reaction.

"and many more……"

"I've already resigned, so it's okay to refuse your request."

After waiting for a while, I heard Han Moyan's next words, still in a cold tone: "Now is not the best time to change jobs, at the end of the year..."

Before Han Moyan could finish speaking, Lu Ran had already closed the door and left.

She originally thought that Han Moyan would have other reactions. She originally thought that although Han Moyan had no love for her, she at least had some working friendship for her...Obviously, that was just wishful thinking.

He didn't even ask why she resigned.

Their relationship is just that of superiors and subordinates.

From that moment on, the heart began to spread pain.

The standard and meticulous work suit on her body became more cumbersome. Lu Ran didn't even bother to go back to her seat. She tore off the bow tie around her neck and threw it into the trash can. At the same time, she loosened her collar and walked to the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"Sister Lu, what's the matter?"

The new intern, Xiao An, was standing by the tea room drinking hot water and asking her.

Lu Ran twitched the corners of her mouth, touched the head of the young girl in front of her, and smiled lightly.

"I'm fine, you can do your best. If there is no accident, you will be able to sign a formal contract in one month."

Putting down the teacup, Xiao An nodded with a smile: "Thank you, thank you Sister Lu."

Lu Ran thought for a while, but after all, he didn't tell her that he was leaving.

"Is there a lighter?"

"what?"

"never mind."

Pushing open the door at the top of the stairs, Lu Ran looked at the towering buildings one after another outside, and suddenly felt a little boring.

She spent three years in these buildings, but what did she get.

The breeze blows from the outside, and the open neckline feels slightly cold.

Taking out his mobile phone, Lu Ran made a call.

"Hello, Xiaoran?" A deep male voice asked.

"It's me." Lu Ran paused, "Brother, I resigned."

"what happened?"

"nothing……"

"I said earlier that Han Moyan is not suitable for you..."

"Brother, stop talking..."

After a moment of silence, Lu Qi sighed in a low voice, with imperceptible compromise and warmth in his cold tone.

"Come back...I'll pick you up now."

Lu Ran replied softly: "Okay."

Lu Qi is a good big brother. In his memory, Lu Qi does not pretend to be polite to anyone, but he loves his younger sister so much that he loves him lawlessly.

Probably because of this, Lu Ran had a good impression of such a man since he was a child.

Otherwise, Lu Ran put his elbows on his forehead and smiled helplessly, how could he fall in love with a man like Han Moyan.

Five years, she has liked Han Moyan for five years.

The first time I met Han Moyan was five years ago.

At that time, Lu Ran, who had just entered his junior year, was an out-and-out playboy.

Relying on the power of her parents to enter the university, but skipping classes and fighting all day long, she is ignorant, fortunately, the university is not a strict place, and most of the professors turn a blind eye to her behavior of skipping classes Looking at it, she herself is happy to be at leisure, and even after two years, she still can't recognize everyone in her class.

Meeting Han Moyan was purely an accident.

That year when Han Moyan was invited to give a speech at the school, it was naturally impossible for Lu Ran to listen to it obediently. When he returned to the dormitory after a day of crazy fun, he found that he did not bring the key. He struggled a bit, thinking that the auditorium where the speech was not far from the dorm was decided Go get the keys.

Han Moyan's expressionless statement on the podium, every word reveals Han's unique simplicity and sharpness.

The voice is low and magnetic.

He definitely didn't remember Lu Ran, but Lu Ran couldn't forget Han Moyan's appearance on the stage.

Han Moyan didn't make any body movements, and he was wearing an ordinary-looking black suit, but when these ordinary things were changed to Han Moyan's body, he became nothing ordinary at all. His expression was calm, as if everything was under his control. In mastery, nothing can go wrong, it is an almost powerful charisma.

It was also from that moment that Lu Ran fell in love with this man.

She found all the information about Han Moyan she could find, as well as related investigations and interviews.

Han Moyan is not high-profile, and there are not many he can find.

But enough for Lu Ran to realize that this man is an out-and-out elite.

Although he was also from the rich second generation, compared with him, he was even more muddy than A Dou.

From the few consultations, Lu Ran knew that Han Moyan liked smart people, and the people he dealt with were all very shrewd businessmen.

It will never be someone like her who is ignorant and only solves problems in simple and rude ways.

However, these are not problems in her view, she is not stupid, she can learn, she believes that she can do it.

As it turns out, she did.

After five years of hard work, Lu Ran can hardly remember what she was like five years ago, nor can she remember when she became more and more accustomed to formulaic actions and words, and her behavior became more and more mature and smooth.

However, it is still not enough...

Han Moyan is still...

don't like her.

Lu Ran lowered her head, and the shadow of the afterglow of the setting sun slowly spread over her shoulders.

*******************************
Sitting in Lu Qi's car, Lu Ran stretched out his fingers and pressed the switch twice.

The soothing English song echoed in the small space, Lu Ran propped his forehead, slowly closed his eyes, and let the singing sound enter his mind.

Lu Qi was driving, and the next intersection was a red light.

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Ran, and distress spread in his usually cold eyes.

"Why did you come down without bringing anything?"

Lu Ran didn't open his eyes, and said casually: "Others are useless."

After a pause, Lu Qi continued to ask: "Xiao Ran, did you really decide to give up?"

Lu Ran smiled bitterly: "Can I not give up? I have persisted for so many years, but in the end it was nothing."

"you……"

"Brother, don't ask me if it's worth it. I don't know what the purpose of persisting for so many years is? I don't even know how much I have left for him..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a gentle palm caressing the top of her head.

As an adult, Lu Ran has been living stronger than anyone else.

Usually, let alone someone touching her head, she rarely even comforts her. In fact, she really doesn't need it.

At this moment, however, an almost unbearable depression raged through her nerves.

She couldn't let it go, she felt sad.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Lu Qi made a turn and parked the car on the side of the road.

Raising his hand to turn off the music, Lu Qi's voice was low and gentle: "Xiao Ran, if you are sad, cry."

Finally, Lu Ran couldn't bear it any longer, tugged on Lu Qi's sleeve, and buried her head deeply in Lu Qi's arms.

The voice was muffled in the clothes, but it was faintly choked with sobs.

"Brother, I'm really sad."

"In the past three years, I have watched Han Moyan date one girlfriend after another, and watched them break up. It seems that no matter how close we are, Han Moyan is still like a fantasy dream that I can't wait for. In the past three years, I have never He didn't respond when he tried to get close..."

"I know I know……"

"Brother, can I go home?"

"Yes. Mom has regretted it a long time ago. Although Dad is stubborn, he is actually looking forward to your return."

Three years ago, she had a falling out with her parents because of Han Moyan. No parent wanted their daughter to unilaterally tear up the engagement that had been made and join the company of the opposite company. The purpose was still to chase a man.

She didn't remember how many times they quarreled.

In the end, she simply moved out alone, and her parents didn't send any more money. If it wasn't for Lu Qi's help, she might not be able to survive alone.

When the quarrel was the worst, Lu Ran's parents even publicly stated that they did not have this daughter.

At that time, she didn't care at all, but she didn't expect that the only ones who could accommodate her in the end were her relatives.

What a resolute irony, Lu Ran is far less strong than she thought.
