After get off work, Su Cen went to buy some things for her son, when she met someone who gave her a headache.
His boss, Lin Zicong, stuck his head out of the car: "Why didn't you drive?"
"My car broke down." Su Cen explained without much expression on his face.
Lin Zicong said calmly: "Get in the car, I will take you back."
Su Cen instinctively wanted to refuse, "No, I have to buy something later."
"Then I'll take you there." Lin Zicong insisted.
Su Cen felt that if she refused again, it would be a bit pretentious. People who didn't know would think that Lin Zicong was going to do something to her.
"Where to go?" Lin Zicong asked after she fastened her seat belt.
Su Cen took out the list given by Aunt Chen from his bag. When he saw what was written on it, he said, "I'm still not familiar with Seattle. Do you know where I can buy these things?"
She raised the list in her hand and wanted to give it to Lin Zicong, but she didn't know that he didn't pick it up. Instead, he turned sideways and looked at her head.
The two were too close, and Su Cen felt a little uncomfortable, so he pushed the list in his hand towards him. Only then did Lin Zicong look at her and took the piece of paper in her hand.
But his movements were too ambiguous. When he took the list, he touched her hand intentionally or unintentionally. Su Cen suspected that he was deliberately trying to take advantage of her, but looking at the serious expression on his face, it didn't really look like it.
"What are you doing with these things?"
Su Cen was very happy when talking about this, and replied with a smile: "Yangyang, oh, it's my baby. He will be one year old in a few days, and he will be pregnant. Do you know what pregnant women are, right?"
"I know." Lin Zicong finally lost his composure and laughed, "I caught him when I was a kid."
"Really?" Su Cen was curious, "What did you catch?"
Lin Zicong replied lazily: "Lipstick, my mother's lipstick. Later, my parents were always worried that I would be like Jia Baoyu, soaked in makeup and powder."
Su Cen thought to himself that your parents' worries have come true, but she only said "hehe" twice. After all, she can't be mean-spirited when she is working for others.
This Lin Zicong is a handsome and humble mixed-race man. His mother is Chinese and his father is an authentic American. He runs several bars and can be considered a rich second generation.
Su Cen, who came to his office to report, really gave him a try. He didn't expect that this divorced woman who had given birth to a child would be so beautiful, and her figure had recovered so well. It was impossible to tell that she was the mother of the child. No wonder
He would be obsessed with his good friend Lin Zicong like that. However, at this moment, his little heart was beating like crazy when he saw Su Cen for the first time.
So, he unkindly visited Su Cen's mother and son several times in the name of taking care of them. After being bumped into by Su Cen countless times, he became honest for a while.
Su Cen certainly understood what Lin Zicong was thinking, but she thought that it was probably because she was older that she refused to have any possibility with Lin Zicong from the beginning.
Even if Lin Zicong is single and has no girlfriend, his conditions in all aspects are not bad, and he will not be inferior to Shen Mohan, but is he fundamentally different from Shen Mohan?
Originally, she wanted to turn down the job, but then she thought about it. She begged Nangong Yu to find a job, so there was nothing to show off. Besides, she also felt that she was being a little sentimental, and Lin Zicong was not pursuing her.
, after she sternly refused that time, he never appeared in front of her again.
Su Cen laughed at herself in her heart. She was a woman over 25 years old and a single mother with a child. How could Mr. Lin not find such a young and tender girl? Why would he bother to let her go? Thinking about it this way, I felt quite relieved and went to work with peace of mind.
Sure enough, she had been working in the office for more than half a month, and Lin Zicong's attitude towards her was the same as a boss towards his subordinates, as if the previous teasing did not exist.
Lin Zicong drove her to the nearest Tangren's house. On the way, he suddenly said to her casually: "By the way, your ex-husband Shen Mohan is getting engaged. Did you know?"
He suddenly brought up this topic, and Su Cen was caught off guard. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and asked, "You are quite leisurely and pay so much attention to domestic affairs."
To be honest, Su Cen felt bored.
She had obviously escaped, but the people around her, whether it was Lin Zicong or Lin Zicong, intentionally or unintentionally tested her with information related to Shen Mohan. This gave her the illusion that she had not escaped Shen Mohan's control at all.
Lin Zicong, who was driving, pursed his lips and continued: "His engagement partner seems to be named Wen."
Su Cen wanted to sneer, whether Shen Mohan's engagement partner was surnamed Wen, Tang or Wang, did he have anything to do with her? Why did he tell her this?
The car had arrived at its destination. Lin Zicong pulled over and stopped. Su Cen unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Thank you for sending me here. Goodbye."
After saying that, Su Cen opened the door and got out of the car.
Lin Zicong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car to chase.
Su Cen didn't bother with him and let him pull her arm, but with a sarcastic smile on her lips, she said, "Mr. Lin, do you think it's appropriate to hold your female subordinate like this?"
Lin Zicong didn't know what was wrong with him today. He was rarely so graceless in front of women. He had dated so many girlfriends before, but he had never cared about the status of their exes, nor had he ever said such aggressive words.
Lin Zicong knew that he had lost control, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't help but want to know Su Cen's reaction after hearing that her ex-husband was engaged, and wanted to see if she still remembered her ex-husband in her heart.
Even Lin Zicong himself couldn't figure out why he fell in love with this woman?
She is obviously divorced and has a child. She has a bad temper and gets angry every time she says a few words. What kind of person is Mr. Lin looking for but he can't find it? But why did he become obsessed with her?
"I'm sorry." Lin Zicong calmed down, "I didn't mean it just now."
Su Cen broke away from his hand, took a step back, and laughed. She said slowly: "You know what? You said you didn't mean it, and I became even more angry."
"I know," Su Cen looked directly into his eyes, "In your eyes, I have already been labeled as Shen Mohan. You have never thought that I am an independent individual, so you have always been Connect me with Shen Mohan."
"It was like this before, and it's still like this now." Su Cen felt uncomfortable in her heart. She had traveled across half of the world, but in fact she had never really been able to get rid of Shen Mohan.
Lin Zicong stretched out his hand to pull her over and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
After saying all the words, Su Cen felt a little better. He looked up and saw Lin Zicong standing in front of him, and couldn't help but feel that his temper has been really good recently. What's wrong with Lin Zicong? In the end, it's her sense of existence that matters. Too weak, so others can only label her related to Shen Mohan.
She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've been getting up early lately and I'm a bit tempered. Don't mind."
After returning home, Su Cen realized that his hands were empty and he had forgotten all about what Zha Zhou wanted to buy.
She helplessly spread her hands to Aunt Chen and said, "Why don't we use a water pen and a calculator to replace the brush and abacus? It's almost the same anyway."
Aunt Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but it didn't make much sense to debate whether to use an abacus or a calculator, so she agreed.
*****Separating line*******
The night was getting late, and the cold wind blew into the house from the window. Shen Mohan woke up from his sleep and looked around. He found that he was alone. He walked to the window and did not close the window, but looked quietly.
Looking out the window, Cen'er likes to watch like this. Is this kind of silence really attractive?
In the dream, he saw a very young child playing together. The child was very young and could not speak yet, but he was very lively and cute, and his bright smile made people feel bright.
He slowly closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.
"Mo Han, haven't you slept yet?" Shen Jiaheng walked in with two cups of tea.
"I was just sleeping, Dad, why are you up?" He wiped his tears secretly, turned around, and took the cup from Shen Jiaheng's hand with a smile.
After being discharged from the hospital, Shen Mohan has been living in the old house of the Shen family. When he returned to his home, there were shadows of Su Cen and the child everywhere. He wanted to catch them but couldn't. The pain was indescribable, so he had to go back to his old house as if to escape.
live.
When Shen Jiaheng saw his actions, he sighed secretly in his heart, but didn't say anything. Men don't want to be seen when they are vulnerable.
"As we get older, we can't sleep late at night. How can we be like you young people!" Shen Jiaheng curled his lips and smiled, feeling like he was sighing at the world.
Shen Mohan held the tea his father made for him and looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, slightly lost in thought.
"Dad got up in the middle of the night just to tell me this?"
"Mo Han!" Shen Jiaheng laughed, his face covered with wrinkles. "Look at the tea leaves in the cup. They are floating and will still fall back to the bottom of the cup. Even if you stir them, the final result will be like this!"
Shen Mohan didn't move and looked at the cup as his father said. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Could it be that his father wanted to say that the dust had settled and he couldn't struggle. Impossible, he would not give up on Su Cen!
"Mo Han, although you have been gifted and intelligent since you were young, you cannot see things clearly when it comes to relationships. Cen'er cannot face some things, but you have to face them and think about it from her perspective!"
Shen Jiaheng speaks with sincerity and sincerity. He rarely communicates with his son like this. Once he does, it will definitely be a big deal.
"I'm already facing it, but Cen'er refuses to forgive me!" Shen Mohan put down the cup in his hand and looked at his father in frustration.
"Son, you used to love each other so much, how could Cen'er give up on you because of the past, unless your relationship is not what we see!" Shen Jiaheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he met Shen Mohan's eyes, but the other party did not
Moved away eloquently.
He really doesn't understand why his son is so close to the daughter of the Wen family!? There are rumors that they are getting engaged.
At this time, Ling Yue knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Shen Jiaheng there, he said excitedly, "Uncle Shen, brother and sister-in-law have a new clue!"
