The phone suddenly vibrated on the coffee table, causing the glass walls to tremble. Xiao Xixi grabbed it and glanced at the screen, but no number was displayed. She was confused for a few seconds and finally picked up: "Hello, hello, who's there?
"
On the other side, there was silence.
"Hello, hello?" After hesitation, Xiao Xixi took it away from her ear and looked at the screen. It was clearly connected, then she held it back to her ear and asked, "Hello, there is no sound. Are you talking?" On the other side, the screen remained the same.
There was silence. Without any further hesitation, Xiao Xixi hung up the phone.
It was strange, there was no sound on the phone. Without thinking much, she got up and walked to the bathroom, soaked in the warm water, and prepared for a peaceful night's sleep.
I returned to the bedroom, set the alarm on my phone, and closed my eyes.
******The other end of the phone.
In the president's office, on the chair that blended into the darkness, there was a tall and thick figure, with an awe-inspiring aura like a black panther in the dark night, silently exuding a silent fierceness.
Just now, I listened eagerly to her soft voice, her natural voice, her tone that was no longer separated from me... It was like a dream, unbelievable.
However, I never thought that one day I would use this method to listen to her voice and talk about the pain of lovesickness.
Blame yourself.
Situ Leiyan secretly mocked, even though he comforted himself grandly, it was for the sake of that unspeakable "great" secret that he was making the most sacrifices... However, now, he looked down on himself like this.
She clearly had no ability to resist Xiao Xixi's smiles and was attracted to her like a poison. He thought about her breath all the time and wanted to hold her tightly in his arms. She was not allowed to go anywhere.
go.
But now, he behaves completely opposite.
During the day, the moment he pushed the door open, what greeted him was the two of them sitting intimately together. That scene was familiar and dazzling. It was clearly no different from what he and she were a few years ago.
The anger in my chest was aroused in an instant, but I needed to endure it. At the same time, I regretted that I should not have decided to hide it and choose to get along like this...For a while, I fell into endless self-torture.
"Do you know, you..." Situ Leiyan muttered to himself in a low voice, "make me obsessed." As long as she is alone, Xiao Xixi's face, micro-expressions, small movements, whether it is joy or anger, are all overwhelming.
It swept over him, and his mentality, which he always thought was strong, seemed to be unable to bear it.
It turns out that there is indeed something called "unbearable weight".
A distance of more than ten centimeters, but she seemed to be thousands of miles away, and she didn't dare to touch her. She felt uncomfortable when she came into contact with herself, and her embarrassment was obvious. Amnesia, is it so scary, can it make her treat herself like this?
Become a stranger.
He wanted to blurt out the question "Have you caught a cold?" but he couldn't.
At least, not now.
It could be seen from the little movements of Leng Zhiqing and Xiao Xixi under the table. The two of them did not notice the obvious change in his face at that time. It was how strong self-control they had to resist the urge to make noise.
Fortunately, the coffee that came later properly filled up the chill in his heart. The familiar taste made him greedy. He didn't know how many times Leng Zhiqing had the opportunity to taste the coffee she brewed while he was away.
The phone screen suddenly lit up, breaking the silence of the night in the president's office.
"Hello." Situ Leiyan said softly.
After a moment, he took a long breath and responded indifferently: "She...participated?" This was a result he didn't want to hear.
I'm not afraid of seeing her, I'm afraid of her...
Don't think about it anymore. Now that things have come to this, you can only make adequate preparations, with a trace of cruelty gathering in your heart.
******In the dressing room, Xiao Xixi reluctantly sat in front of the makeup mirror, getting dressed up before she was "fresh". She was attending more and more banquets, and this set of theories simply made her depressed.
Speechless.
"Not bad." When she went out, Leng Zhiqing looked satisfied, which aroused her unhappiness: "It's just this time, don't force me to do it in the future." However, Leng Zhiqing didn't look at her, his eyebrows furrowed.
The space was flat and ignored.
"Did you hear that?" Xiao Xixi glared at him for a moment and turned a deaf ear.
However, there was no way. The expensive and exquisite gauze dress on her body was like a pair of shackles, and the slightly noticeable makeup on her face made it difficult for Xiao Xixi to continue to have attacks.
It's really an invisible shackles.
Sitting in the car, I was speechless all the way.
Xiao Xixi imagined the scene for a while and sighed secretly. She had seen too many banquets and so on, but she still didn't like it, especially - she would see Situ Leiyan tonight. Before she went there, she felt a little decadent. She couldn't explain clearly.
The complexity and intricacies are something that I simply don’t want to face.
"If you are tired," Leng Zhiqing suddenly said, "You can go back early."
"Really?" Xiao Xixi's eyes suddenly shone, she looked at him and blurted out.
"Yeah." Leng Zhiqing snorted coldly as a reply.
This promise made Xiao Xixi extremely happy. The feeling of both cooperation and rift between the two men made her really unpredictable and exhausted. However, it seemed that she could never escape from this feeling, caught in the middle.
Hard to avoid.
The car finally stopped smoothly.
In the banquet hall, there was singing and dancing.
He walked in with Leng Zhiqing on his arm, and with just a casual glance, he could see the outstanding couple in the crowd. Situ Leiyan had a strong and powerful aura without anger, and beside him was the charming and charming Gu Ruolan.
They stood together in close proximity, holding their wine glasses and clinking glasses to those who came up to them.
At the banquet, there were many people from various business circles and celebrities. Xiao Xixi looked around and saw that there were many people who were often exposed in the media. Sure enough, it was still Situ's pomp.
"Welcome!" Gu Ruolan said leisurely and elegantly, and pulled Xiao Xixi's eyes back with a smile, "I'm so happy to meet again!"
"Please." Situ Leiyan's chest twitched secretly, but his face was calm and he spat out the words lightly.
Xiao Xixi observed the scene in front of her, as if she was in another world. She followed Leng Zhiqing mechanically. He and Situ Leiyan were talking in a few words. She couldn't hear clearly what was said. The decibels were really not high.
"Xixi, let's go there for a walk." Gu Ruolan suddenly said, her eyes indicating that Xiao Xixi should avoid it.
Xiao Xixi raised her eyes and looked at Leng Zhiqing, and when he nodded, she smiled slightly: "Okay, Sister Ruolan, let's go." She became uncomfortable being with her, but now,
Indeed, it seemed that the conversation between them should be avoided.
Walking casually to the long banquet table, all kinds of food were colorful and tempting, but there was no appetite. Xiao Xixi picked up a glass of juice and took a sip.
"Xixi," Gu Ruolan's tone was calm and peaceful, "I hope you don't mind what happened before. Sister Ruolan had no choice but to do it." Her tone was very generous.
"Hmm... um." Xiao Xixi didn't know what to say, so she just said a few words as an answer.
"That's because..." Gu Ruolan wanted to continue explaining.
"Hey, who is this?!" Suddenly a pleasant female voice with an obvious mocking tone sounded. Xiao Xixi's eyes immediately shifted. Gu Ruolan's words were interrupted and she also turned to look.
"Why is it you?!" Gu Ruolan was still shocked, and her face turned ugly.
"Why can't it be me?" The other person was weak and boneless, with a calm smile and a delicate face that looked no worse than Gu Ruolan's, and could even be said to be better.
Xiao Xixi looked at the scene in front of her and was very puzzled. Looking at the other person's face carefully, she felt different from Gu Ruolan's Shuyuan from a famous family, and she was a little more starry.
Gu Ruolan's face was stiff and her tone was unpleasant: "——Yan Xing'er, I didn't expect that you would actually go to the United States to develop your career! I can't tell that your charming appearance can really seduce people!" She was really surprised.
Very uneasy.
Yan Xing'er was once an actress that Situ Leiyan rarely disliked, and Gu Ruolan knew this very well. Now that she suddenly appeared, it felt like the backyard was about to be on fire.
"Really, are you scared?" Yan Xing'er giggled, and her words were tit for tat, "Oh - I know, maybe you are afraid that my appearance will take away the flame!"
Xiao Xixi stayed aside, unable to say anything, and she didn't dare to interrupt. It was the first time she had seen two women playing arrogantly for Situ Leiyan. Gu Ruolan's face was also unusually red with anger. The two of them were clearly
Comparing who is stronger.
"I...I have nothing to be afraid of, haha," Gu Ruolan also laughed, "I am Yan's fiancée. Yan Xing'er, you'd better be clear about this!"
"Ah, by the way, Miss Gu - the nominal relationship between you and Yan," she lengthened her voice in a teasing tone, "should be known to the whole world!" Gu Ruolan's eyes did not shy away.
.
"Well, Sister Ruolan, I..." Xiao Xixi really didn't want to read any more and whispered, "I... I'll go to the bathroom first."
Without looking back, the two women were left confronting each other. Xiao Xixi walked into the corridor, shaking her head and looking back, just because of Situ Leiyan, the war between women is really powerful.
She tidied up briefly from the bathroom and walked out. Listening to the music coming from the banquet hall not far away, she felt a little sad. This kind of thing was really boring. Thinking about it, she crossed her arms and casually
He walked in the other direction. Rest for a while and let himself get away from that false feeling for a while.
Unknowingly, she walked to the other end of the corridor and suddenly heard a sharp sound coming from the corner, which seemed to be Gu Ruolan. Xiao Xixi was startled, and within two seconds, she moved forward without hesitation, wanting to explore.
after all.
She had just walked out of the dim light and followed the sound, but she didn't expect to be pushed against the wall by a force. Before she could say "Ah" out of her mouth, Xiao Xixi felt her back coldly pressed against the wall.
He was immobilized and his mouth was covered by a big hand.
