"Well, I'll ask Zhou Wei to take you downstairs." He Lichen said directly, without any intention of sending her off.
You Jia felt a little disappointed, but looked very gentle on the surface. She shook her head with a smile and said, "No, everyone is busy with their own work. I can just go down by myself. Anyway, I have been to Heyi more than once. I am familiar with the road."
You Jia originally thought that He Lichen would be polite, but his guess was wrong.
He Lichen was not polite, but said, "Then...goodbye, if anything happens at work, you call me, and drive on the road...be careful."
These words of concern sounded harmless, but Youjia knew that they were alienating.
The more polite and respectful a person is to you, it proves that the relationship between you is only superficial and has not penetrated into the other person's heart.
"Yes, I will." You Jia forced a smile.
He Lichen escorted You Jia to the door of the office. After watching You Jia walk to the elevator, He Lichen turned around and walked into the office.
He Lichen did not go to the desk. After sitting down at the same position, he said to the little girl, "Come here."
"..." Jian Yi was stunned and looked at her uncle without moving.
"What? Don't you want to come over?" He Lichen asked.
"No." After Jian Yi answered, she stood up and walked over.
He Lichen stretched out his arm and motioned for her to come to him.
Jian Yi didn't feel embarrassed, because she and her uncle were the only ones here, so she walked over, sat down next to her uncle, and rested her head on his shoulder.
He Lichen put his hand around the little girl's shoulders and asked, "Are you worried about me being with her?"
"..." Jian Yi was stunned and looked at her uncle's side face in surprise. It turned out that her uncle had already discovered her little thoughts.
Jian Yi adjusted her mentality, nodded, looked at her uncle and said, "Well, I'm worried."
He Lichen turned his face sideways, met her eyes, and said, "I will do what I promised you."
In front of her, I have never broken my promise, and I will definitely do what I promised her.
"But, You Jia is so beautiful, so... excellent, I'm still worried," Jian Yi said the truth in her heart, "The way you were working just now, you cooperated very well. I know that only someone who is so excellent and so tall can
Only people with high IQ and high EQ will... be worthy of you."
My uncle is also very good, and in such a high position, the people around him must be equally good as him in order to stand beside him.
He Lichen did not answer immediately. He reached up and touched her head lightly and said, "What are you thinking about? You are an adult now, why are you still acting like a child?"
Jian Yi murmured and protested in a low voice, "You said before that even if I am an adult, I am still a child in your eyes."
He Lichen heard what she said and replied, "Yes, that's what I said."
"But, girl, sometimes the thoughts of some children should be properly... restrained, okay?" He Lichen's tone was a little more serious.
I don't want her to have these thoughts, because it's too tiring for her. She is the treasure in my hands, and I hope that she will be happy and worry-free every day.
"Yes, I understand." Jian Yi nodded.
He Lichen straightened his expression and continued, "From now on, there will only be work between You Jia and I. When this cooperation is over, maybe... we will not contact you again, or in other words, we will have very little contact, so don't worry about it anymore.
Already."
"Yeah." Jian Yi nodded immediately, indicating that she heard it.
"Are you feeling better?" He Lichen asked.
"Well, much better." After chatting with her uncle like this, Jian Yi felt that she was in a very good mood.
"Do you plan to go out to work? Or continue to rest here?" He Lichen asked.
"Go to work, I still have some unfinished work." Jian Yi replied.
"Well, go ahead and take you to dinner tonight." His love for her has never been less.
"Okay."
…
After that, You Jia came to the company a few more times, and Jian Yi no longer worried about anything like the first time. Instead, she was busy with her work naturally.
The cooperation between He Lichen and You Jia has reached its final stage. In terms of work, You Jia has no dissatisfaction with He Lichen, and cannot find any fault with He Yi's subsidiaries, but... in terms of personal feelings
on matters.
During this period, whenever You Jia had free time, she thought about He Lichen and the relationship between herself and He Lichen. You Jia felt that her current relationship with He Lichen had returned to the alienation of the first meeting, and even could no longer move forward.
Several times, You Jia took the initiative to ask He Lichen out, but He Lichen declined politely. You Jia refused to give up and offered He Lichen courtesy, but He Lichen also refused to accept it. Although he did not embarrass himself, he still felt uncomfortable.
You Jia had thought about the reason why He Lichen alienated her. He might have fallen in love with someone else, or... what did he do wrong? But according to his own understanding and observation, there was no other woman around He Lichen, and he and He Lichen
There is nothing bad about their relationship, so... Youjia is very confused about this.
Women's minds are always delicate, but women are not timid. As long as they decide on something, they will be braver than usual, so You Jia plans to find a suitable opportunity to chat with He Lichen and ask him clearly.
Doubts in one's own heart.
On this day, He Lichen and You Jia had work to discuss. They did not make an appointment to meet at He Yi, but made an appointment at a coffee shop near the hotel where You Jia was staying.
When He Lichen came to the coffee shop, You Jia was already there. The two ordered two cups of coffee and then started talking about work.
The two of them were working on their work all afternoon. By the time the work was done, it was already past five o'clock, after get off work time, and it was dinner time.
"Lichen, let's have dinner together tonight. We haven't had dinner together for a long time." You Jia took the initiative.
He Lichen hesitated and replied, "Sorry, there's something going on at home tonight. I have to go home for dinner. How about... next time, I'll treat you to dinner next time."
You Jia knew that He Lichen was refusing politely, and it might not be when the next time would be, so...
"Then, can we chat for a while? I have something to say to you." Youjia asked.
He Lichen glanced at You Jia, saw the seriousness in her eyes, and knew that she really had something to say to him, so he nodded in agreement.
The two of them sat in the coffee shop. He Lichen called the waiter and ordered two more cups of coffee.
You Jia looked at He Lichen, thought about it, plucked up the courage, and then asked, "Lichen, before, I confessed to you, you..."
Youjia did not continue.
He Lichen knew what he meant and answered, "Sorry, I think... it's not a good fit between us. You will meet someone better than me." (To be continued)
