After Luo Li and her colleagues from the design department finished discussing the issue of the printed media photos, she went up to the rooftop to get some fresh air.
The wind on the rooftop was very strong, and it blew so hard that her face hurt. Luoli leaned against the wall and smoked a cigarette. She had gotten it from a male colleague in the team. Male cigarettes had a strong aftertaste and Luoli was not used to it when she took the first puff. She choked and coughed until her face was red. However, she continued to smoke one puff after another. The hand holding the cigarette was trembling, perhaps from the cold.
When Tang Muchen came up, he saw her standing there. The strong wind made her look like she was on the verge of collapse. Her face was facing the billboard of the tall building opposite, and she did not have much expression.
He remembered the first time he met her. His car had hit her. She was sitting on the ground, not crying or making a fuss. She was so quiet that even her breathing was hard to detect. The expression on her face was the same as now, as if nothing had anything to do with her. There were no emotions, no ups and downs, just so indifferent. However, he knew that the quieter she was, the more suspicious she was. Doctor Yang had said that he should pay attention to her emotions and find him as soon as he noticed something wrong.
Was she sick again? Tang Muchen felt uneasy. The Luoli he knew was not suitable for silence.
After a moment of silence, Tang Muchen remembered the purpose of coming up and walked forward.""I knew you would be here."
"What? Are you here to check on me?" Luoli was not surprised. Tang Muchen was so smart, he must have noticed the problem.
"Hot iced coffee with milk.”Tang Muchen handed her a paper cup.
"Thanks." Luoli smiled. She was probably the first person to drink iced coffee like this. She reached out to take it, and Tang Muchen took the opportunity to grab her hand.
"The wind is so strong up there. I really don't know what you're doing up here. Look at you, your hands are so cold and your face is red from the cold.”Tang Muchen put her injured hand into his pocket and covered the coffee cup with his other hand. Luoli smiled apologetically and did not refuse. However, seeing that he was staring at her without letting go, she said,"Hey, are you still going to let me drink coffee? It's already cold."
"Drink it." Tang Muchen let go of her hand and felt a little relieved.
"Are you alright? Can we go over? Or do you need me to enlighten you?"
"Don't you dare." Luoli glanced at him." It's fine, I'll be fine after digesting it. Give me some time."”
"Are you really alright?" Tang Muchen raised his eyebrows.
"I'm really fine." Luo Li answered with certainty.
"Alright, I knew you wouldn't tell me.”Tang Muchen was still a little disappointed." Forget it. It's fine as long as you think it's okay. Anyway, I'm still here if you can't make it."”
"You're annoying." Luoli had wanted to punch him, but she could not free her hands and could only give up.
Tang Muchen smiled as he held Luoli's hand that was still hidden in his pocket and gently took it out.""Does your arm still hurt?"
"Much better. There's no big problem now." Luoli pulled her hand back and held the paper cup together.
"It's better to be careful.”Tang Muchen pulled her collar up." You have croup, but you're still exposed to the wind. Aren't you afraid of coughing?"”
"I know, mother." Luoli teased him, squashed the paper cup, and prepared to go downstairs.
"This girl." Tang Muchen scratched her nose and smiled helplessly." Alright, don't take the opportunity to slack off. Let's get to work."”
"I was going to go down anyway." Luoli shot him an annoyed glance and quickly walked down.
Tang Muchen followed behind her, his emotions erratic. Even if Luoli could let go, others might not be able to let go too. He still could not let his guard down. He took a few steps forward and pulled her back." Ah Li, go and hand over the case to Yin Ling. Hai Cheng's case will be handled by him. You go and take charge of other cases."”
"Why?" Luoli was a little dissatisfied with Tang Muchen's autocracy." I'm not someone who can't differentiate between public and private matters. You know that."”
"That's not the reason. You're almost done with the preliminary work on Hai Cheng. Yin Ling can just follow. The company still has other cases.”
" But..." Luoli wanted to say something but was interrupted by Tang Muchen.
"No buts. I'll go tell AD that I still have a case on hand and I need people. The materials are all ready, and you'll be in charge of the gathering.”
"Alright, you're the leader. Whatever you say. I'll follow your arrangements." Luoli did not want to argue anymore. Tang Muchen's actions might not do her any harm.
When it was time to get off work, the company invited Shang Yuqin and Han Tang to a banquet. All the company leaders attended the banquet. Tang Muchen did not want to attend at first, but Luoli's hands were still injured. He wanted to drive her home, but Luoli did not agree. She advised him not to make things special, as he would be gossiped if he was absent from such an occasion. Tang Muchen couldn't argue with her, so he had to personally send her to a taxi before going to the banquet.
During the banquet, Shang Yuqin did not refuse anyone and drank a lot of yellow soup. Han Tang had wanted to help him drink, but seeing how forthright he was, she decided not to drink at all and became a law-abiding driver. When the banquet was over, Shang Yuqin wasn't completely drunk, but he was already walking erratically. The others were more or less drunk, except for Han Tang and Tang Muchen.
Tang Muchen helped Shang Yuqin get into the car and watched them leave. Shang Yuqin's performance today made him feel like he was using wine to celebrate. Perhaps he would find an opportunity to meet Luoli alone tomorrow. This man had hurt her so much in the past. How could he be so nonchalant and want to mend their relationship now? Tang Muchen held the steering wheel with a serious expression. This guy was really a disgrace to the old masters.
Han Tang carried Shang Yuqin back to the hotel and threw him onto the bed. It was so hot that he loosened his tie, went to the bathroom to get a towel, and threw it on Shang Yuqin's face. Her phone rang. It was Shang Yuqin. Han Tang looked at the person lying on the bed like a dead dog and pressed the call button helplessly.
"Xiao Xi, it's me." Han Tang's voice was rarely gentle, even though she wished she could kick the person in front of her away.
"Why is it you? Where is Yuqin?" The woman called Xiao Xi had a soft voice, but the disappointment in her tone was obvious.
"Yuqin is drunk. Xiangda Company treated him to a meal just now and he drank too much.”
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him? Why do you drink so much? Are you going to discuss business or compete in alcohol?”
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." Han Tang walked to the living room so that the person on the phone wouldn't hear the drunk words of the guy.
"Forget it, you're tired too. Rest early.”The woman hung up the phone.
Han Tang closed her phone and sighed. She walked back to her room and threw her phone on the bed. "Ah Li, Ah Li, I found you, Ah Li…" Shang Yuqin was still murmuring.
Han Tang clenched her fists and considered whether she should give him a few punches while he was drunk to vent her anger. He really did not expect to meet Luoli. This coincidence had happened really quickly. He did not know what to do in the next few days.
Han Tang thought about tomorrow and had a headache.
