"Li Yuanhang, are you worried about me, aren't you?!" She asked blankly, her sweet voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness, maybe from choking or something else.
"I don't want to see you go astray!" He said righteously.
go astray?!
"This should be considered a kind of concern -" she trailed off uncertainly.
Li Yuanhang frowned slightly, as if he didn't know the answer. He pondered for a moment and nodded silently, "That's right."
Hu Die's heart was hanging in her chest, her eyes were blank for a moment, and a kind of pounding was running through her body, making her voice tremble slightly, "...Why do you care about me?!"
Why?!
Li Yuanhang was suddenly stunned, the wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper and heavier, as if he had never thought about this problem before, and confusion showed on his handsome face.
Whenever he couldn't think of an answer to a question, he habitually smoked a cigarette. He subconsciously reached into his pocket and asked her slightly nervously, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?!"
"I don't mind." She responded softly.
He nodded, took out a brown cigarette case from his pocket, took out a slender menthol cigarette and put it in the corner of his mouth. However, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have a lighter. He searched all the pockets on his body with his hands, but still found nothing.
With a "pop" sound, orange flames caught his eyes. She found a lighter on her coffee table and lit it for him.
He was stunned, then slowly lowered his head, matching her height, and put the cigarette in the corner of his mouth to the appropriate position. The flame lit the end of the cigarette. In the light of the fire, he looked at her, her face was like a peach blossom.
Her skin was as bright as jade, and her skin was as white as jade. It was like a ball of fire burning straight into his peaceful heart. For a moment, he was so distracted by the sight.
The smoke was hazy, blurring her face, and a faint smell of tobacco spread in the air.
An unknown melancholy slowly filled his heart.
When the first white mist dissipated, his vision gradually became clear again, and his vision was at the same level as hers.
My heart is pounding.
Suddenly, a sudden cell phone ringing broke the deadlock.
Li Yuanhang regained his composure and moved to the window. With his back to her, he answered the phone and calmly directed his subordinates to handle a business transaction.
She stared blankly at the glass. In the reflection, the man in an expensive suit with an extraordinary temperament had a calm expression and deep eyes.
His voice on the phone was very deep, and the magnetic scale hit her chest one after another.
"Hu Die..." A low male voice brought her back to her senses. Her eyes met that handsome and elegant face. His brows, eyes, and whole body were full of elegance and elegance.
The atmosphere, even in a humble room, has a special and unrestrained atmosphere.
He didn't know when he came back, standing in front of her with a heroic appearance, but she suddenly felt that he was so far away, as if the man who preached loudly to her not long ago was simply her imagination.
Li Yuanhang looked at her dazed face, "Are you okay?!"
"No, what can I do?" She curled her lips and smiled, using the most gorgeous smile to cover up the deepest emotions in her heart.
He stared suspiciously. She pretended that nothing happened, turned around easily, poured a glass of water to drink, and sipped it slowly. The cold liquid slipped into her throat, cooling her heart, and asked casually, "Is there something going on in your company?"
Bar?!"
"A little thing." He replied calmly.
With her back to his pretty face, there was a trace of stagnation.
She just heard that his so-called small things are worth 80 million.
"I just told you about going to the accounting firm. Think about it carefully." He mentioned the topic again.
She gently swallowed a mouthful of white water, said "hmm", turned around, and smiled brightly, with no trace of disappointment in her brows and eyes.
"You and Xiaotong were colleagues before. You don't have to worry about the new environment at all. Even if there are any problems, I will help you..." he said sincerely.
"I know, I will consider it."
He nodded happily, put out the cigarette between his fingers, and prepared to say goodbye.
She walked him to the door, and the dim light illuminated her pretty face. As she closed the door, his eyes hurriedly slid across her face. The moment the door closed, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the door panel and warned again,
"Lock the door."
"Didn't you just say not to lock it properly?!" She deliberately retorted.
"Whatever you want!" He was a little angry.
She quickly comforted her, "I was joking, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
He was silent, thinking for a moment, and then spoke slowly, with a cautious tone, "Call me if anything happens, we... are friends."
friend?!
Li Yuanhang didn't say anything more, nodded, turned and left.
After Hu Die closed the door, her heart could not be calm for a long time.
She returned to her small one-bedroom apartment and slumped down on the sofa, as if all her strength had been suddenly drained away.
There shouldn't be many people that Li Yuanhang can admit personally as his friends, right?!
How honored she was.
But why couldn't she be happy?
On the coffee table, the lighter that had just been used was lying quietly, with a red plastic shell, vulgar and cheap.
She suddenly felt that the color was dazzling.
The ashes he burned are probably a hundred times more expensive than this!
He lives in a completely different world than she does.
Regarding money and power, she thought she had already seen through it and was so numb that she no longer knew how to feel sad and cold. However, she still felt inferior in front of Li Yuanhang.
I picked up a pillow and covered my face, but I was still worried inside. I bit my lip and felt that my heart was terribly empty. I had never felt so overwhelmed.
Should she resign or pursue a new starting point in life?
If she really goes to work in Xiaotong's office, will she have more opportunities to see him in the future?!
When she thought of this possibility, she suddenly felt her heart wavering.
