Liang Feifan looked at her. He didn't know why, but when he saw the intense emotions written all over her face, the haze in his heart dissipated quite a bit. He reached out, ignoring her protests, and grabbed her little hand on her knee. He chuckled softly and said, "Don't keep emphasizing how much you hate me for smoking. I know you don't want me to smoke either. I've been smoking a lot this year, but now that you're back, I'll try my best to reduce it."
Bai Lu was speechless.
"… You. Let go!"
She really felt that she had gotten into a thief's car. There was nothing that would touch her, and there was nothing that he wanted to say to her. This man, from the beginning to the end, had been scheming against her. What exactly was he planning in his heart?
"Liang Feifan, you …"
"You'll resign from Lati?"
Liang Feifan always seemed to be able to make Bai Lu unable to unleash the anger in her heart. He once again interrupted her in a deep voice, still holding her little hand. The man frowned, but his tone was firm. "… I know that with your temper, you'll definitely think of a way to leave Lati. Bai Lu, there's actually no need. If you don't want to work with me, I can tell Wen Zhaoren to withdraw from this project, but you don't have to resign. Lati is a design company with a good reputation. If you become the design director, Wen Zhaoren will be able to see your talent. When the time comes, it'll be easier for you to become famous."
Bai Lu pursed her lips and looked down at his large palm wrapped around her little hand. The heat from his palm was continuously transmitted to her hand. The fingers were connected to the heart. It was clearly a place so far away from the heart, but she didn't know why … Right now, she really felt that way.
It was as if … her heart had once again been enveloped by him.
…
No, no …
Bai Lu shook her head and forcefully pulled her hand out of his palm. Liang Feifan didn't seem to force her. He probably didn't want to continue the unhappiness between the two of them. He still had to drive, and safety was first, so he took the opportunity to let go of her.
"Mr. Liang, you really care about me. You've already thought about my future path? Thank you, but I know what I'm doing. Mr. Liang, you don't have to worry too much about whether I quit or not. I'm sure I didn't do it for you! "
"If it's not for me, then do your best in Lati."
"…"
"Bai Lu, it's not like we can give you a better job opportunity tomorrow if you throw it away today. What you're telling me now isn't because of me. Then, there's no need for you to resign. This incident … was actually a coincidence. I didn't expect that Wen Zhaoren's new design director would be you. "
He lied.
Liang Feifan knew that if she found out that he did not set up an inescapable net and let her jump in, she would definitely be disgusted. In fact, he had messed up his actions in the hotel just now. That was also because the impact of having such a woman standing in front of him was too great.
However, he felt that his plan would not be disrupted if he really reached this point.
Perhaps it would be easier for her to believe him if he told her the truth.
"I do know Wen Zhaoren, and we have a good relationship in private. However, I believe that you're a dedicated person. A dedicated person shouldn't bring personal feelings to work. This project is bigger. You've just taken up the position. If you resign immediately after seeing me, what company can you go to by then? Don't waste so many skills that you've learned in SGA on personal feelings. "
"… Liang Feifan, you keep talking about personal feelings. Please understand that I have no personal feelings for you!"
The man's hand that was holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened. His frown deepened. However, he knew very well what his purpose was now. He did not want her to leave Lati. As for her words that made him unhappy, these were secondary.
He nodded and said in a low voice, "Well, since you said that you have no personal feelings, then you don't need to leave Lati, right? This way, the project between Wen Zhaoren and I can continue to work together. Perhaps we'll meet often at work in the future. When that time comes, I believe that you'll be able to do business properly. "
Bai Lu knew that his words were more or less provocative, but she still jumped down with her eyes closed.
"Don't talk to me about separating public and private interests. Do you think I don't know what it means to separate public and private interests? Mr. Liang, as long as you separate public and private interests, I'll definitely be able to separate public and private interests! "
"Then, Miss Bai, you won't resign again?"
Bai Lu was stunned. She realized what she had said. However, the way he addressed her as "Miss Bai" made her heart ache. She straightened her neck and said loudly, "Mr. Liang, I'm not your employee. Why are you so concerned about whether I resign or not?"
"I'm thirsty for talent, and I cherish talents."
The man's deep voice was filled with joy. In the narrow car, it sounded very magnetic. "Of course, if you want to come back to the Liang Clan, I'll also give you the position of director. If you think it's not enough and want another position, I can also satisfy you."
"…"
"Of course, I know that this is my personal opinion, but if you stay in Lati, we'll have a chance to work together. To be honest, I really want to work with you. A top student who graduated from SGA shouldn't disappoint me, right?"
Bai Lu bit her lip and clenched her hands on her knees. She had a feeling that she had been set up by this man with very casual words.
He had dug a hole and was waiting for her to jump into it obediently.
However, after jumping in willingly, she suddenly felt that she had fallen into a trap. However, because of her face, she refused to admit that she had fallen into a trap. She had to straighten her neck and fight him to the end.
Yes, in fact, whether she had fallen into a trap or not depended on her own heart.
If she really wanted to give up on someone, hiding was never the best way. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with facing it bravely. It was just a cooperation project. They couldn't be entangled with each other for the rest of their lives. Besides, didn't he say that he had to separate public and private matters …
And she had climbed to this position with great difficulty. Why should she give up because of him?
…
"Thank you, Mr. Liang, for thinking so highly of me. I'll definitely do my best to complete this project."
Bai Lu pointed at the intersection up ahead and said without hesitation, "However, CEO Liang, you're right about one thing. We should keep our public and private lives separate. So, it's best if we don't let other people know about our relationship — no, our past relationship. In the future, I won't dare to trouble Mr. Liang with matters like driving me home. Please stop at the intersection in front. I want to get off. "
"It's too late. I'll take you home."
"It's okay. I can get a taxi myself." Bai Lu's hand had already reached out and pressed down on Liang Feifan's steering wheel. She furrowed her brows and said, "Mr. Liang, I insist. You shouldn't force me, right?"
Liang Feifan looked at her soft, small hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. His gaze momentarily lost focus. After a moment, he nodded and said without batting an eyelid, "Alright then. Since you insist, I won't take you home. But be careful on the road. "
Bai Lu didn't say anything. After Liang Feifan unlocked the door, she quickly pushed open the door and got out.
The man in the car didn't start the engine and leave right away. He sat in the car and watched the woman standing not too far away from him. After about five minutes, there were still no cars coming. Liang Feifan saw that she intended to walk forward, so he took out his phone and made a call. After giving a few simple instructions, he put his phone away and saw the petite figure not too far away walking quickly. He slowed down and followed behind, maintaining a certain distance. After about ten minutes, a taxi came quickly. He watched as Bai Lu got into the car before he stopped the car.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth. After taking two puffs, he still felt bitter. The taste in his mouth was bitter. He reached out and casually placed the hand holding the cigarette on the car window. He fiddled with the cigarette between his fingers absentmindedly and massaged his temples with his other hand.
No matter what, she had finally come back. And now, she was standing very close to him. Previously, he was indeed worried that she would impulsively leave Lati. However, after what he had deliberately said just now, that little woman would probably bite the bullet and not leave again.
This was good too. He should take it step by step. This woman was already wishing she could shrink back into her turtle shell. He couldn't be too hasty. And just now at the hotel, he was indeed too impatient. From now on, he had to take it step by step.
..
The night breeze was slightly chilly.
The night in City C was not much different from City A, but the air in the country had been getting worse recently. The sky in England that day was very blue.
She had lived there for more than a year. Would she be a little uncomfortable suddenly coming back?
Just as his thoughts were running wild, his phone rang. Liang Feifan flicked the ash from his cigarette, took out his phone, and picked it up. "Yes, what's the matter?"
The person on the other end said something, and his eyes instantly darkened. In the night where no one could see him, the man's eyebrows were extremely sharp and his thin lips were tightly pursed. "… Is that so? How many times has it been this month? … Yes, continue to get people to follow her. Remember to keep the things I want well … Yes, on Ye Zijie's side, leak some news to him … Yes, he's panicking, so it must be the best opportunity … Chu Weiye? Tell him that I'm in City B and won't be back for a week. When I get back, I'll look for him. "
After hanging up, Liang Feifan narrowed his eyes. The sharpness in his eyes had not been restrained. As the white smoke lingered, his sharp gaze was also hidden under the smoke.
