Chapter 239 I always feel like I’m missing my usual gentleness

"Enter."

Qi Si raised his eyes from the computer and saw the person at the door coming in with his hands behind his back.

Luo Yan: "I'll find some books to read."

He nodded and continued working.

Seeing his meticulous concentration and coolness while working, Luo Yan raised her eyebrows.

He didn't even say a word to her. Are you that busy?

After reading for a while, her eyes quietly scanned the various cabinets in his study, and finally landed on the black lacquered log office cabinet beside him.

Half an hour later, she raised her phone and said, "Aunt Zhou made tea and asked us to go down and eat."

"You go and eat."

"You don't want to eat?"

"I do not want to eat."

Looking at his pale face, Luo Yan wondered, what happened to him this afternoon?

He was fine before, but now he looks cold.

It should be a work matter, it can't be her that affects his work...right?

She didn't say much.

She lowered her head and continued reading. This time she didn't look around anymore.

After an unknown amount of time, the person in the office area finally remembered something and looked at her, "Aren't you going to have some snacks?"

Luo Yan shook his head and said calmly: "I'm not hungry."

Then, the man continued to go about his own business.

Staring at his stern brows, Luo Yan withdrew her gaze.

A ringtone broke the silence. Qi Si stared at it for a moment, then walked out of the room with his cell phone.

When I answered the phone, I went outside to answer it.

The study is meant for working. If she wasn't here, Qi Si wouldn't have to do so much.

When you think about it this way, your own existence becomes even more unnecessary.

After putting the book down, she walked to the office area and rummaged through Qi Si's drawer for the key.

The balcony on the second floor looked at the lotus pond in the backyard. Qi Si listened to the words on the other end of the phone with a very calm expression.

Yan Jing said that Nie Yongkang had recently been currying favor with senior executives of Jingsheng and wanted to buy a stock fund with great potential.

Jingsheng can sit firmly in the financial center, understand and master the first-level information of the financial market, these are information wealth, related to the ups and downs of many companies and even the entire market.

People who know the inside story of financial trends are like money trees to those investors. It doesn’t take much, as long as they reveal a little bit, they will know which stock to buy next and it will rise sharply.

Nie Yongkang curried favor with Jingsheng executives this time because he wanted to buy shares in a newly developed wearable communication device.

"If he likes it, sell it to him," Qi Si said in a calm tone, "The more, the merrier."

Luo Yan searched through the drawers one by one and finally found a bunch of keys on the bottom floor. At the same time, the man opened the door and came in.

Seeing her posture, he paused slightly, "Do you need anything?"

Under the cover of the table, Luo Yan put the key into his windbreaker pocket and stood up as if nothing had happened, "I suddenly wanted to see the marriage certificate. Where did you hide it?"

"Not here, want to see now?"

"If you're busy, you can show it to me later." She put the book away, "You can work, I'm going downstairs."

As soon as I came downstairs, Yang Wanwan's call came in.

"Sisters, come out for a drink."

"Now?"

Yang Wanwan: "Meet you at Xingyue Bar at 4:30. Dress up nicely. I brought a new camera. Let's take beautiful photos."

Luo Yan pursed her lips: "Qi Si doesn't allow me to go to the bar."

"Oh, it's hard to come out for a reunion. Why do you listen to him so much? Just don't tell him."

"I can't hide it."

There were so many people in Qi Si's house. If she went to the bar, the message might have been sent to his mobile phone before she even walked in.

And she was still a little frightened when she thought about how cold the man had been when she didn't come home from the bar last time and caught her.

"You go to a bar and your boss Mu doesn't care about you?"

"He can't control me..." After thinking about it, Yang Wanwan sighed slightly, "Okay, since your man is so strict with me, we won't go to the bar. I'm afraid he won't let you play with me anymore. Then let's

Go to a cafe, I know one that tastes good and has top-notch latte art."

"OK, send me the address."

"see you later!"

Going upstairs, she added a scarf and took her bag. Before going out, Luo Yan hesitated for a while whether to tell Qi Si.

Forget it, just have a cup of coffee and come back. If he's busy, don't bother him.

In fact, secretly, I deliberately didn't tell him. When he finished his work and found that the person was missing, it was fun to think about it.

When she drove to the cafe and got off the car, she saw in the rearview mirror a little boy playing with his mobile phone and walking to the middle of the road, with a Land Rover approaching from behind.

It was almost a subconscious action, and before I had time to think about it, the person ran onto the road, "Children, car!"

The boy looked up from the game interface. Before he could clearly see the situation in front of him, he was thrown two meters away by someone who rushed towards him. At the same time, the sound of sudden braking pierced his eardrums. Luo Yan's bag and the boy's cell phone fell aside.

Her knees felt hot, her elbows were rubbed by the rough ground, and the sound effects of the game were heard from the boy's cell phone.

"Can I give birth to a child or not? I don't know how to take care of my own child when such a big child crosses the road! If I hadn't been experienced in driving and hit the brakes in time today, this kid would have gone to see the King of Hell!"

"Damn it, I was unlucky to meet you when I was driving out for a meal. If you don't teach such a naughty kid well, you will cry in the future!"

The Land Rover driver was furious and apparently recognized Luo Yan as the boy's parent. He cursed for a while and then drove away.

Luo Yan stood up and patted the dust off his clothes, and looked at the boy who was so frightened that he wanted to cry. He was slightly chubby, about eleven or twelve years old, and looked like he was overprotected and doted on by his family.

After staring at him for a few seconds, she said quietly: "Where are your parents?"

"Mom is playing mahjong in front..."

Looking in the direction he pointed, we saw a magnificently decorated mahjong club, a favorite place for noble ladies.

"Don't play with your mobile phone on the road. At a young age, play less games."

The little boy bit his lip, his round face full of fear, and nodded after hearing the words.

"Go find your mother."

Picking up her handbag, Luo Yan turned around and crossed the road.

There was a dull pain in her knees, which may have been broken. She bent down and gently rubbed the joints. When she got up and walked forward, she glanced at the mahjong center.

When the little boy's mother saw that the child's clothes were stained with dust, she lowered her eyebrows and asked something, then her expression changed drastically and she hurriedly checked the boy's injuries.

Luo Yan paused before lifting her feet to walk.

The woman in sight is beautifully dressed, can be said to be jeweled, with outstanding makeup and appearance, and her concern for her children is genuine.

He looked over and over again, and the more he looked, the lighter his expression became under Luo Yan's mask, and the knuckles of the bag turned slightly white.

The winter wind is dry and ruthless, tearing open old scars.

Loshu.

It was a name that she had not remembered for a long, long time, and thought that she would never meet again in this life.

We said goodbye to each other on the street corner of Weicheng that year, and it is hard to look back on it for more than ten years.

Is this her choice?

It looked like he was doing really well.

It turns out that he gave up on her for this kind of life.

Looking away, Luo Yan walked into the cafe.

As soon as I sat down, I received an apology message from Yang Wanwan on my phone.

Her orange cat suddenly vomited violently and had to go to the pet hospital.

No one was coming, so Luo Yan put down her phone and ordered herself a cup of coffee.

The sky is dark in winter, but the lights in the cafe are soft, and there are not many people in the store. Her position is semi-enclosed, and there are dense potted plants behind her, which makes her well hidden. The warm yellow retro fluorescent lamps are turned on, making it easy to take pictures from any angle.

Very atmospheric.

After taking a few photos of coffee, she took off her mask and drank coffee.
