During lunchtime, Chen Jie, Zhang Feng, and all the colleagues in the firm were eating takeout in the conference room.
Chen Jie felt that it was quite good. Thinking that Jingjing probably hadn't eaten yet, he decided to send her a portion back. "Xiao Wu, is there any more takeout?"
"No, we didn't book you today. Coincidentally, Wang Xuan didn't come today, so we had an extra set.”
Chen Jie was puzzled." Didn't Wang Xuan come today?”
Zhang Feng snorted,"You only know how to laugh when you're new, but you don't know how to cry when you're old."”
The colleagues did not intend to gossip and left after eating.
"What's wrong? You don't like me today, do you?" Chen Jie looked at him. I'm curious, since when did you start speaking up for Wang Xuan?”
Zhang Feng was momentarily embarrassed." No! As a superior, do you want to go and see your subordinate in the afternoon?”
"It depends."
Little Wu held back his laughter and pretended not to hear anything.
He turned to look at Xiao Wu." Laugh if you want to.”
Xiao Wu burst out laughing." Lawyer Chen, I didn't mean to mock you.”
" Alright, don't explain anymore. Xiao Wu, who ordered this takeout? Call and order another one."”
"Okay, do you want it now?"
"Yes, now is the time."
……
She took the takeout and took the elevator down to the parking garage. As soon as the car left the office building, she stopped and took out her phone to dial Dong Yuanqing's number.
"Are you at home? Have you eaten? I bought takeout and will send it back to you now.”
"I'm outside with my friends and I've already eaten. Why are you treating me like a child?”
That's right, why did he treat her like a child? It seemed that he was too hasty. "Then forget it. Have fun. Bye!”
After hanging up, he looked at the takeaway in the passenger seat, turned the steering wheel, and turned the car in another direction.
Wang Xuan's place was not big. It was an ordinary single apartment with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. The entire room was simple and clean, which suited her lawyer profession and personality.
He placed the takeout on the coffee table, thinking that it was time to talk to her about work. "You haven't had lunch, have you?"
She looked pale, haggard, and dispirited."Indeed, I haven't eaten." She poured two glasses of water and handed one to him. She opened the food box and started eating.”
He didn't say anything and just smiled.
"That girl yesterday was your girlfriend?”she suddenly asked.
"En, yes." He didn't hesitate at all. He didn't want to deliberately hide anything, and there was nothing to hide.
"I think you've always been a very rational person.”
"That was before I met her. People who haven't met true love will say that they are very rational.”
"Love has a shelf life, right? No matter how intense and unforgettable a love was, it would eventually return to being dull. Why do you have to find a little girl who doesn't deserve you?”
This was a little too much! "I've never felt that anyone is unworthy of anyone. If anyone is unworthy, it's me who is unworthy of her. After all, she's still so young."
"How is she worthy of you?"
This time, the conversation broke down, and there was no need to talk about work anymore. He didn't like to hear others say that Dong Yuanqing, whom he cared about, was not good, not even a little bit.
"Looks like I shouldn't have come today." He stood up and walked out.
However, he did not expect Wang Xuan to hug him from behind. Her face was pressed against his back, and her arms were wrapped around his waist. In an instant, he felt his blood rush to his head. This woman actually ran up to hug him without any restraint. He could feel her proud chest pressing tightly against his back, and he could hear her heartbeat clearly.
She couldn't tolerate things not being in order of first come, first served." I don't believe it. I'm not as charming as that little girl? Why are you so indifferent when I've done so much for you? For you, I even broke off the engagement."
He had a momentary trance, but it was only for a brief moment. He immediately calmed down. Being calm was his forte as a lawyer. He sighed." There's always someone who can bring you comfort in this lonely journey of life. I've found the one, not you; And that person of yours is destined not to be me! I know what you've done for me. Before I met her, I thought about dating you on the premise of marriage. But after meeting her…I don't think so anymore.”
She cried, her tears soaking his back. She did not know what to say to salvage this love that had yet to begin. "But I love you. I want to be with you! Can you give me a chance?"
He slowly pulled her hands away.”He opened the door and left. Wang Xuan was left standing in the same place, watching him leave, letting her tears mourn the love that had come to an end before it even began.
