The morning sun shone warmly into the room in the early spring. Zhong Kening, who was on the bed, was woken up by the noisy phone.
Staring at the phone, her sleepy face showed some hesitation, hesitating whether to answer the call or not.
The ringtone seemed to be against her as it rang again and again without any intention of hanging up.
In the end, she couldn't resist picking up the phone. Zhong Kening took the microphone." Hello?”"Can it be condensed?" Heavens, no way, it was actually him!
"I'm hanging up!" "Still sleeping?" The voice sounded displeased, which usually meant he was angry.
"I have nothing to say to you." She had already resigned yesterday. She didn't see why Xiang Boqian would call so early in the morning. From today onwards, she would have to look for another job.
"I'll be at the company immediately." Giving orders without any nonsense was completely the dictatorial mode of a leader.
"Go to the company? Now?" Was there a mistake? She had no intention of stepping into the company again.
Xiang Boqian was silent on the other end, making her feel a little uneasy. Was he unhappy about her resignation? He had always been the one in control of the situation. Now that she had left in anger twice in a row, it was obvious how furious he was.
She was originally lying down, but a trace of pride made her sit up." I've already resigned.”They were unrelated people again.
"See you in half an hour. If you don't come, be careful that I'll come personally.”As soon as she finished speaking, the phone was disconnected, making her stare at it in disbelief.
"Don't go too far!" The only response to her was the toot sound of the phone being cut off. Xiang Boqian didn't listen to her at all.
Visit?
Did she not even have the freedom to resign?
Ignoring the suspicious gazes of her colleagues, Zhong Kening walked step by step towards the general manager's office.
The moment she entered! "You're late." When she rushed to the company as fast as she could and knocked on the door to enter the general manager's office, the person sitting on the other end only said this coldly.
She looked at the clock on the wall. It was five minutes more than the time he had set, so she could only lower her head in silence.
"I'm no longer an employee of the company.”She came because she didn't want him to really come and visit her. She had personally experienced the danger of locking him in the house with her.
"I didn't allow it." "So what?" Zhong Kening, who was wearing a light-colored suit, stepped in front of him. She tied her hair behind her head and glared at him across the desk.
"So you're still my secretary now.”As he spoke, he pushed the document in his hand in front of her." I want this document immediately.”He didn't give her a chance to reject him. He buried his head in his work again, as if he had already given his instructions. The next thing he needed was for her to obey.
"I'm sorry, I've already planned to find another job, so you can think of a way to get this document yourself.”What the hell! She wouldn't stay. It wasn't like she couldn't live without him.
"Yes!" His voice grew louder and he raised his head.
When their eyes met, there was a hint of gunpowder." Aren't you afraid of the consequences of breaching the contract?”She lowered her head and did not want to look at him." You can sue me.”"This job doesn't mean to make things difficult for you.”This was just to keep her by his side.
"I won't be stupid enough to believe you again.”A trace of unnoticeable anger flashed across his eyes.
"Why are you so wary of me?" He didn't want to think about what happened two years ago anymore. He only wanted now.
Zhong Kening felt a trace of joy at his anger. At least she could make him so angry.
"Towards you, that's right, I'm on guard.”"I won't allow you to resign!" He had spent so much effort to get her back to his side. He would not let her slip away again.
"That's your business." She knew that Xiang Boqian was overbearing, but she didn't expect him to be even more so now.
"Other than me, no one else would dare to hire you.”This was the truth, but unfortunately, she didn't listen.
"Do you think you can trick me like this?”At this point, she would not believe it.
Leaving Xiang Boqian's angry face behind, Zhong Ke rushed out of the office, hoping to never see him again.
A week later! At three o'clock in the morning, Zhong Kening came to seek shelter with big and small bags of luggage.
Ring! Ring! The silence of the night was broken by the high decibel volume of the electric bell.
"Damn it! Is he not at home?" She had never thought that this was her last hope. She had never thought that her grandfather would really use his power to make her unable to stay in England. He clearly wanted her to return to Taiwan without any room for negotiation.
Xiang Boqian was the only person who could ask for help. During her four years in the UK, her family did not know that she had a boyfriend. Even the news of their breakup was not told to her family.
The locked door made her look helplessly into the door in the night wind.
" I will never go back to Taiwan to get married..." She looked at a person she had never seen before, and then decided that she could not do something for the rest of her life. Although the road of love with Xiang Boqian was not smooth, at least it was her choice. She decided to walk through that pain.
As Xiang Boqian said, no company dared to hire her. When everyone saw her name, they quickly said that the application quota was full and there was no shortage of people, using all kinds of excuses to stall her. Because of this, she left early and returned late for a week. She still had no job, but she had asked Taigong to return the house and asked someone to pass a message to her. If she didn't want to starve to death outside, she had to go home obediently.
Infuriated by her grandfather's words, she went to Xiang Boqian. Back then, he was able to get rid of his grandfather's influence and arrange for her to work in the company. Now, he must have the ability to resist his grandfather and prevent her from returning to Taiwan to get married.
However, she had been standing in the cold wind for more than an hour and knew very well that there was no one in the room. The dark room proved her thoughts.
"Xiang Boqian!" Ignoring the fact that it was already midnight, Zhong Kening shouted.
Before the sound of the car stopped, she heard the sound of a car behind her and the light of a lamp. She quickly shrank to the side. Although the public security in England was not bad, it was difficult to say if something would happen to a single woman like her.
However, the car continued to drive in her direction and finally stopped in front of her, illuminating her entire body.
When the car approached, Zhong Kening realized that the owner of the car was him!! Sitting in the car, Xiang Boqian was somewhat suspicious. He was not mistaken. The person in front of him was Zhong Kening, who he had not seen for a week. Xiang Boqian frowned and opened the door.
"Ke Ning, what are you doing here?”To be honest, Xiang Boqian didn't want to meet her at this time, because he wasn't the only one in the car. There was another woman, a companion who would accompany him for the night.
Her tone clearly expressed Xiang Boqian's displeasure. She, who had been standing in the cold wind for too long, did not think much about where his anger came from. She picked up all her luggage and turned around to leave without saying a word.
Once again, her heart ached.
"Ke Ning! Where are you going?" Xiang Boqian quickly caught up with her when he saw her stern face.
He held her hand, unwilling to let her leave. He had waited like this for too long. He did not think that if she left like this, there would be a next chance.
"Let me go!" "Tell me first, why are you here?”Xiang Boqian continued to restrain her unmoved until the luggage fell to the ground in the struggle. Only then did Zhong Kening raise her head.
"You want to know?" Shaking his head, he intentionally looked into the car. There was obviously someone sitting in the front passenger seat. It seemed that he was not lonely tonight. Of course, he did not want anyone to disturb him.
If she still told him her purpose now, she would be an idiot.
"Okay, then listen carefully. Because I'm too bored, okay?”"Don't lie to me!" Xiang Boqian shouted in her ear.
"You care?" He stopped struggling and a trace of pain flashed across his bitter smile. However, the time was too short for Xiang Boqian to notice.
" Of course I…" Before he could finish, the person in the car opened the door impatiently and said coquettishly,""Qian, who is she? Why is he at your door in the middle of the night?" Zhong Kening realized that the woman who walked out had a perfect figure and a beautiful oriental face, which suited his preferences.
She glanced at the woman and pretended to hide her heartache. She gently pulled her hand out of his grip.
"Sorry, I have to go." She would never tell the truth in front of that woman. She had her dignity. Everything between her and Xiang Boqian was already in the past. If she mentioned it too much, it would only make things worse.
Having known her for more than a day, how could he not see her strong sense of defense? So Xiang Boqian just let her take his hand away. For a moment, a sense of disappointment climbed into his heart, just like how he let her slip away in the past. He was so proud that he didn't want to bear it.
"You know each other?" Anyone with a discerning eye could see the undercurrent between them. Although Zhong Kening wanted to get a clear picture, Xiang Boqian's eyes revealed too much.
"Jingrou, wait for me in the car." "There's no need to leave. I'm the one who should leave.”Seeing his protective posture, Zhong Kening did not want to watch anymore. She lowered her head and ignored this scene. That's right! Xiang Boqian didn't need to be responsible for her, and she didn't need to feel bad. She should have known this earlier.
"Jingrou, get in the car." He Jingrou could tell that it was a sign of Xiang Boqian's anger.
"Then you have to come right away." Seeing that she got into the car obediently, Zhong Kening sneered. This kind of woman was suitable for his dictatorship, and she did not want to become his puppet doll.
When He Jingrou got into the car, Xiang Boqian pulled Zhong Kening over unhappily and made them look at each other face to face. However, she deliberately avoided his eyes and refused to look him in the eye.
"You were waiting for me?" "No, I haven't." Her proud heart was eager to protect herself, so she continued to lie.
"Or have you decided to return to Taiwan?”Xiang Boqian gritted his teeth and spat out these words with a sour tone. His gloomy expression made people not dare to look at him directly.
"That's my business. You don't have to worry about it.”The man who had hurt her three times had no right to ask about her private matters.
"Why here? You came to say goodbye to me out of kindness?" "Think whatever you want. I'm leaving anyway.”Her last hope was also shattered. She just wanted to leave quickly, just like when they broke up back then. She did not want to continue staying and let the pain swallow her heart.
"I won't let you go." "You won't allow it? Why? Xiang Boqian, we have nothing to do with each other.”This sentence once again tore open the scar between the two of them. The things that should have been forgotten and never mentioned again were all exposed again because of their family's teasing.
Xiang Boqian's eyes darkened and his face darkened." Go inside."”" I don't want to…" During the time they were together, she naturally understood that it was best not to have a conflict with him at this time. If she went along with his wishes, it would not cause a bigger quarrel.
"Enter immediately!" That pair of sharp eyes stared at her until she lowered her head and fell silent in fear. Wasn't this exactly what she wanted?
She had originally planned to rely on him, but now that he wanted her to enter the house, she was a little hesitant.
"Don't resist. If you have anything to say, wait for me to come back.”He handed the keys to the house to her and turned to walk towards the car.
After a while, the car turned around and left, leaving only the keys in her hand.
Zhong Ke's eyes were red and she did not let her tears fall. He could have left her behind, but he did not.
"Did I come to the wrong place?" After Xiang Boqian disappeared, she muttered speechlessly. She was confused by her actions.
She entered the house and turned on the light. The light that came in her face made her feel warm. After staying outside for nearly two hours, her feet were sore and she was tired.
She came to his room based on her memory, but her feet stopped at this moment. She retreated in panic and finally chose to sit on the long sofa in the living room. This should be the safest and least controversial place. Anyway, he should be back soon. What would his female companion say? She never intended to destroy his love world. She only hoped that she would not cause him too much trouble.
After waiting for more than half an hour, he still didn't come back. Zhong Kening lay on the sofa tiredly, curled up into a ball, and closed her eyes. Finally, she fell asleep. Even when Xiang Boqian walked into the room five minutes later, she didn't notice and was still asleep.
Xiang Boqian's disapproving gaze swept across her entire body. Without thinking much, he hugged her waist and let her slender and soft body lean against him. At the same time, he realized how cold she was in his arms. His heart trembled and he walked towards the room.
" Mm..." Zhong Kening let out a satisfied sigh when he walked into the room. She shrank into his arms and his body temperature warmed her body.
Looking at her petite appearance, he finally couldn't help but plant a kiss on her lips. At this moment, Zhong Kening woke up.
"Ugh…let go of me." She did not expect to fall asleep, nor did she expect to be held in his arms.
She pressed one hand against his chest and the other against his face, not letting the greedy man have the chance to sneak an attack on her. "Let me go." When Xiang Boqian put her on the bed, Zhong Kening jumped up nervously.
"Don't get up." Anyone with eyes could see how tired she was at this moment. He couldn't bear for her to sleep on the sofa. It seemed that giving up the bed was the best way.
"I don't want to sleep here." Besides, she still had something to say.
"Listen to me and sleep first. If there's anything else, we'll talk tomorrow.”The vigilance in Zhong Kening's eyes subsided the fire in his eyes. He understood that she was afraid of him. Xiang Boqian knew that she still couldn't trust him.
"Ke Ning, I won't hurt you.”Her gentle words worked, and her resistance weakened." Are you sure you won't touch me?”With uneasiness, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at him carefully.
"Unless you want it too." She shook her head reflexively and immediately lay back on the bed to sleep.
After making sure she closed her eyes again, Xiang Boqian pulled up the quilt and covered her with it. He then walked into the bathroom and removed the lingering fragrance on his body.
When he sent He Jingrou home, he knew how sensitive a woman's heart was. Besides, He Jingrou had known him for a long time. Zhong Kening's appearance triggered the true tenderness hidden in his heart, so she protested.
"Who is she?" He Jingrou asked coldly when the car arrived at the He family's door, hoping to hear his reassurance.
However, Xiang Boqian's heart had long been occupied by Zhong Kening and had no intention of others.
"You don't need to know." All the women who were with him knew not to ask about his private affairs. Otherwise, if he fell out with them, they would never see each other again. Therefore, women carefully followed this rule. However, this rule was broken by He Jingrou tonight. After she gave her heart, Xiang Boqian should not be so heartless.
With her sharp eyes, she clearly saw that he had placed the house key in the woman's hand. It was a trust that he had never given her, and she could not bear it.
"Another her?" She focused on Xiang Boqian's face, trying to find some clues. Unfortunately, he was well-guarded, so she only saw indifference.
"No one can be like her. She represents the only one.”The feelings that he refused to admit two years ago were now revealed in front of a woman who loved him deeply. In fact, if he had had more feelings when he proposed, Zhong Kening might have been his wife long ago, and the situation would not have been so stiff today.
"The only one?" He Jingrou smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes." What about me? What am I? Are you with me only because of need?”He was looking ahead, but now he turned his head." I've already said it before. It doesn't mean anything between us.”
"Xiang Boqian, you're too much."
"You forced me to say these words." He Jingrou didn't even think about it before she threw her hand out, but Xiang Boqian caught her." You'd better not do that. I'm not a man who won't fight back."”While He Jingrou was in a daze, he let go of her and pushed her away. He said angrily,"Get out of the car!" "You!" She was wrong to entrust her feelings to him. It had always been her one-sided wish.
Holding back her tears, she opened the car door without another word. After she got out of the car, Xiang Boqian immediately started the car and left quickly.#
