"Second brother, aren't you going home?"

After coming out of the restaurant and seeing Li Xuewu walking in, Zhou Xiaoling asked curiously: "Are you staying here tonight?"

"Would you like to play mahjong?"

Li Xuewu asked at the front desk if he still had the money he had saved here and if he had enough wine.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoling ask him, she turned around and pointed upstairs and said, "Director Li is addicted to poker and is looking for someone to fight to the end."

"Giggle--"

Zhou Xiaoling covered her mouth and laughed sweetly when she heard his description, and said: "I thought the leaders were all busy with everything, and they only had to eat and drink every night."

"That's a big leader. We have time to combine work and rest."

Li Xuewu got the rest of the answer from the waiter, so he walked to the stairs and said, "If you don't go home tonight, you can come and compete with me. If you lose, it's mine."

"Are you going or not?"

Zhou Xiaoling actually likes to join in the fun, especially when her boss is around.

This kind of private contact can help you build relationships with leaders.

She shook Wang Yajuan's arm and asked excitedly. At the same time, she also asked Zhao Yajun who was standing on the other side.

"I'd better go back, I can't play mahjong..."

Zhao Yajun smiled bitterly and inferiorly, greeted the two of them and walked outside.

Wang Yajuan and Zhou Xiaoling stood in the hall, watching the figure disappear into the night at the door.

The two looked at each other, and the fun they had just talking and going upstairs to play mahjong naturally disappeared.

"Actually, he is a nice person, down-to-earth and honest, which suits him well, doesn't he?"

Wang Yajuan withdrew her gaze, looked at Zhou Xiaoling and said, "The so-called care is sometimes not that important."

"Isn't it important?"

Zhou Xiaoling's face was calm and her smile was gone, but she didn't dislike it either.

She looked at the lights reflected in the lake at night and said, "If it's not important, then why does everyone have to have relationships?"

"He is indeed a good man, maybe as you said, down-to-earth and honest, but also stubborn."

Looking back at the stairs, Li Xuewu was no longer there.

"If you don't even use such a direct relationship, just for the sake of face."

Zhou Xiaoling looked at Wang Yajuan and said, "Then his dignity and face are too noble. I'm afraid I won't be able to accommodate him in the future."

"He is a good man, but he is not suitable for me. Thank you for introducing him to me."

"As long as you don't blame me for being troublesome——"

Wang Yajuan gestured to the door, and the two walked out together. She sighed and said, "Actually, we are all the same. The stage is too high and the lights are too bright to see clearly in front of us."

"Is that why you haven't found a partner?"

Zhou Xiaoling turned to look at her and asked, "What about you and him? Have you never thought about it again?"

"who?"

Wang Yajuan turned to look at her and remained silent without speaking.

Zhou Xiaoling smiled and said, "You are the only one who thinks this is a secret. In fact, everyone knows it."

"Zhou Miaomiao and the others were punished that time, and they talked about you when they came back."

"Well, I deceived myself."

Wang Yajuan walked away with her head lowered, looking at her own shadow under the street lamp, and said, "I have nothing to do with him."

"I think so. If you were related, it wouldn't be so awkward."

Zhou Xiaoling said with a smile: "From the day you learned that we were going to be transferred to the Red Star Factory, I see that you have been very worried."

She turned around, walked backwards, looked at Wang Yajuan and asked: "Are they really the kind of childhood sweethearts? How much of a romantic partner is she?"

"Fifteen years old, when I first joined the dance team."

Wang Yajuan was silent for a long time, and then continued: "There are no childhood sweethearts, they are just confused years."

"But it is the most innocent love, isn't it?"

Zhou Xiaoling said with some yearning: "If I were to fall in love now, I would never feel that kind of state of mind."

"Of course I'm not blind to material things, but you just saw it too."

She said with some helplessness: "When I grow up, I will think about more things."

"I only asked about his family and ideals, but not about his foundation in the city."

Zhou Xiaoling turned around, put her hands behind her back, puffed out her bulging chest, and said, "I don't expect to fall in love at first sight, but I have to be a good match."

"You're right, it's better to be realistic than regretful."

Wang Yajuan touched her arm and said: "People always have to be responsible for their own choices."

"There is another reason why I rejected him."

Zhou Xiaoling turned around, looked at Wang Yajuan and said, "I confessed my love to my second brother, but he rejected me."

"Yeah-"

Wang Yajuan was quite surprised, but she was not very surprised. She just looked at Zhou Xiaoling and asked, "When? Why didn't I hear about it?"

"The time I went to Yangcheng, I was in the guest house."

Zhou Xiaoling spoke frankly about her affairs today. She said: "Zhou Miaomiao and I were in the same room, and we talked about some topics about life and reality."

"Well, she lives a very realistic and free life."

Wang Yajuan nodded and said: "A person, an idea, also depends on fate."

"It's fate that my second brother didn't like me, so I had no choice but to make friends with Li Xue."

Zhou Xiaoling shook her head in a funny way and said self-deprecatingly: "If he really wanted me that night, I wouldn't necessarily be willing to give it up."

"I don't even know what I want, let alone what he can give me, or whether this is the love I want."

She said in a somewhat bleak and melancholy tone: "I can see that the second brother has no intention of really bringing me and the captain together."

"Why do you say that?"

Wang Yajuan glanced at her curiously and explained: "He called me in the afternoon and specifically mentioned this matter."

"Maybe he thinks I'm not a good girl." Zhou Xiaoling raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky and said, "As you said, that captain is down-to-earth and honest, so how could he be suitable for me?"

"Don't think nonsense, he doesn't mean this."

Wang Yajuan understood clearly. What Zhou Xiaoling said was that Li Xuewu did not intend to bring them together and brought Zhao Yajun here just to make the other party give up.

In front of Li Xuewu, Zhou Xiaoling seemed to be standing there naked, with no cover at all.

Li Xuewu can know all her information and daily behavior.

Today's meeting was nothing more than giving both parties a sense of dignity and allowing Zhao Yajun to feel his rejection more intuitively.

Of course, you can't say that Li Xuewu was not serious, took the initiative to treat guests to dinner, and made an appointment to talk to people familiar to both parties.

But after dinner, he chose to go upstairs, and it could still be seen that Li Xuewu didn't care about it.

Wang Yajuan felt the loneliness and inferiority in Zhou Xiaoling's tone, and thinking of herself, she took the initiative to persuade him: "He is not that kind of person."

"I know, I feel sorry for myself."

Zhou Xiaoling turned around and smiled slightly, saying: "How could someone as mature as him plot against me like this?"

"Actually...he wasn't like this before."

Wang Yajuan pursed her lips, looked at the road ahead and recalled, "He has a bad temper, but he is very good to people."

"I like to joke, be humorous, and most of all, lively."

"How many years have you been together?"

Zhou Xiaoling looked at her and asked, "Is it the kind of special intimacy?"

"Um--"

Seeing that she asked so straightforwardly, Wang Yajuan was not embarrassed and said with a chuckle: "We almost had a child."

"Forehead……"

Zhou Xiaoling was extremely shocked, her eyes widened with disbelief, and her mouth formed an O-shape in shock.

"Really...really? Are you pregnant?"

"Well, two years, we were together for two years," Wang Yajuan said in a very calm tone: "Finally we broke up because of some trivial things."

"I despise his lack of ambition and dissoluteness, but he can't stand my arrogance and selfishness."

"I...I really never thought about it, between you..."
