Shen Mengting's face turned red, and she said with some fear: "I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't talk too much."
"Okay, Po Jun and the others, please make arrangements for the time being. I will let you know when to do things."
After saying that, Du Qingchen drove home.
When she got home, Gao Xiaotong had already gone upstairs to rest.
Wang Lingying sat on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why don't you rest?"
Du Qingchen looked in the direction of the second floor with some guilt, then sat down and asked.
Wang Lingying noticed Du Qingchen's eyes and felt even worse, but she held back and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"Oh, I drank a little."
"Where are your friends? I'll treat them to a meal when they are free. It's not good if they don't come out to entertain them when they come to Jiangnan City."
Wang Lingying said.
Du Qingchen quickly said: "No, they have left tonight. They are all very busy. They just passed by Jiangnan City and made an appointment to have a meal."
Then he added: "We are all comrades who have gone through life and death together."
Wang Lingying was doubtful.
But Du Qingchen already said he was a comrade, so she couldn't say anything more.
"Oh, then if any friends come over in the future, let me go and meet them too."
Wang Lingying said.
Du Qingchen said yes.
"By the way, have you seen Xiaotong?"
"Ah, isn't she back?"
As soon as Du Qingchen said those words, he knew it was over.
This is a slip of the tongue.
Sure enough, Wang Lingying raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you lying to me?"
"No."
Du Qingchen could only continue to pretend to be confused.
"She went to see you tonight. You have met before, right?"
Wang Lingying asked.
Facing Wang Lingying's questioning, Du Qingchen was a little flustered. He took a breath and said, "Yes, she came to monitor me to see if I had gone out to date a woman, but I didn't, so I asked her to come back first. Ah, hasn’t she arrived home?”
"You guys haven't talked about anything? Why do I feel like something is wrong with her tonight?"
Wang Lingying breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? We didn't talk about anything. We just met and she left." Du Qingchen pretended to be confused.
"She seems to have cried."
"Why are you crying? You should pay more attention to her. She is your best friend."
Du Qingchen persuaded her instead.
Wang Lingying said: "I understand, I'm going upstairs to sleep, good night."
Seeing Wang Lingying's back disappear, Du Qingchen returned to the room. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
Damn, it’s so dangerous!
From now on, you must keep a distance from Gao Xiaotong.
He was secretly vigilant.
Otherwise, there must be a misunderstanding in the future. The problem is that there is nothing wrong between the two of them, so wouldn't that be aggrieved?
…
During dinner the next morning, Gao Xiaotong remained silent. She was usually very talkative and lively, but today she seemed to be a different person. She didn't even look at the two of them and just immersed herself in eating.
Wang Lingying was usually taciturn and naturally ignored Du Qingchen.
Well, Du Qingchen became a loner again.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
On the way to the company, there was still no one talking.
After arriving at the company, Gao Xiaotong started to be in a daze when he came to his office, and would frown from time to time.
For several days in a row, her mood was very unstable, as if she was living in a world of her own, the smile on her face disappeared, her appetite dropped drastically, and she was out of her mind.
Du Qingchen could probably guess her inner struggles, but he couldn't interrupt or comfort her on this kind of thing. He always remembered what he said, to keep a distance from Gao Xiaotong.
It's not that he is cruel, he also sympathizes with the other party, but he knows better that at this time, he must be cruel. When it comes to his marriage and Wang Lingying's affairs, he has always been very cautious.
But Wang Lingying finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She was a little wary and angry at first, but now seeing Gao Xiaotong like this, she felt heartbroken.
So, she called Du Qingchen.
Du Qingchen came to her office and asked: "What happened again?"
"I'm fine."
Wang Lingying said.
Du Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I thought you had any difficulties. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to me."
"Thanks."
"Do we need to be so polite between us?"
"What happened to Xiaotong?"
Wang Lingying stared into Du Qingchen's eyes.
Du Qingchen felt guilty, but he could only pretend to be dumbfounded: "What's wrong with her? What happened?"
"Are you pretending to be confused with me?"
Wang Lingying was a little angry.
Du Qingchen smiled bitterly: "I'm really confused."
"She seems to have lost weight these days. Even a blind person can see that something is wrong with her. Do you dare to say that you didn't see it?"
"I can tell, but that's her private matter, and I can't ask. It's you, aren't you two good friends? You should pay more attention to her, persuade her more, and be more open-minded about everything."
Du Qingchen hesitated and said.
Wang Lingying sighed and said, "I - I'll look for her later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Xiaotong suddenly opened the door and came in. She was a little surprised to see Du Qingchen, but her eyes were even more evasive, pretending not to see him, and said to Wang Lingying: "Lingying, I have something to tell you."
"Then I'll go down first."
Du Qingchen wanted to run away.
"It just so happens that you don't leave either."
Gao Xiaotong called him to stop.
Suddenly, Du Qingchen's heart began to beat.
Damn it, this woman doesn't want to show off her cards, or something big will happen.
Wang Lingying asked carefully: "What's the matter?"
"I want to move out and not live in Fenghuang Mountain anymore." Gao Xiaotong took a breath and said word by word.
ah?
Wang Lingying was a little dumbfounded: "Why?"
"I don't want to affect your relationship as a couple."
"That's the reason?"
"right."
Gao Xiaotong said firmly.
Wang Lingying frowned and said to Du Qingchen, "You go back first."
"good."
Du Qingchen felt relieved and turned around to leave.
"Come, sit down and talk slowly."
Wang Lingying pulled Gao Xiaotong to sit on the sofa aside, and poured a glass of water for the latter. Then he sat next to her, held her hand and said, "Xiaotong, I know, sometimes I am a bit
Cold, but that's my character. I don't have many friends, and you are the most important among them. So, I especially hope that our friendship can last a lifetime. If I usually do something wrong,
I apologize to you. Your behavior in the past few days has really made me uneasy. I don’t want to lose you as a good friend, do you understand?"
She spoke very sincerely.
But the more this happened, the more Gao Xiaotong felt guilty.
There was no barrier between her and Wang Lingying. The main reason was that she felt guilty. She had tried very hard to control her feelings. However, she could not really forget about Du Qingchen.
After all, this was a dream she had held on to for several years.
Even if it was just wishful thinking on her part, it could still be regarded as her first love.
She was afraid that she couldn't control her emotions, so she proposed to move out of the villa. Maybe she would be farther away from Du Qingchen, so that she could avoid seeing each other every day, so that she could slowly let go.
