Cheng Qingchong was especially busy that day. When she saw Song Qingchun's message, it was already three hours later.
At the time, she had two urgent contracts that needed Su Zhinian's signature, so before she went to the CEO's office, she took the elevator to the first floor to grab the documents that Song Qingchun had asked her to pass to Su Zhinian.
As usual, Cheng Qingchong knocked on the door three times, and when Su Zhinian's voice drifted out from within, she pushed the door open.
Su Zhinian was busy working on his computer when Cheng Qingchong tiptoed into his office. She hugged the documents and stood silently before his desk. It was not until he stopped typing that she said, "CEO Su, we need your signature."
Su Zhinian nodded slightly like he was deep in thought. After a while, he typed several times on the keyboard before pressing the Enter key and extending his hand toward Cheng Qingchong.
Cheng Qingchong immediately handed him the documents.
Su Zhinian lowered his eyes and skimmed through them. After confirming there were no problems, he signed his name and pushed the documents back to Cheng Qingchong before returning his attention to the computer.
He was about to continue typing when he saw Cheng Qingchong still standing before his desk out of the corner of his eyes. He frowned and turned his gaze toward her.
When Cheng Qingchong saw him looking at her, she immediately passed him the envelope she was holding with both hands. "CEO Su, Miss Song asked me to pass this to you."
Su Zhinian's expression visibly froze. He stared at the envelope in Cheng Qingchong's hands for a long time before blinking lightly. After about ten seconds, he tapped on the table lightly and turned to look at the computer.
Cheng Qingchong placed the envelope on the table according to his order and left silently with the documents in her arms.
When she closed the office door, she glanced into the room out of habit. She realized Su Zhinian, who had been facing the computer, had picked up the envelope and was staring at the thick stack of money inside.
He looked very calm on the surface, but she didn't know if it was her misconception, but she felt that under that calm aura, there was an indescribable sadness and loneliness.
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97 After Cheng Qingchong closed the office door, Su Zhinian lowered his eyes and shoved the money back into the envelope. He pulled open a random drawer and tossed it inside.
His fever had started last night, and there was no sign of it going down. He did not have any strength in his body.
He leaned against the office chair tiredly and stared at the urgent email on the computer screen that had been half-processed. He didn't have the mood to continue.
He didn't expect her to return the money so quickly … In fact, deep down in her heart, she also wanted to cut ties with him as soon as possible, right?
Now, the last bit of connection between him and her was gone …
Su Zhinian turned his head to look out the window. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and he could feel himself rapidly sinking into the darkness.
Although the secret from five years ago prevented them from being together, they could still be friends.
The secret from five years ago meant that he could only bury the feelings that he shouldn't have in his heart.
So, once the hundred-day contract was over, he didn't even give himself the chance to continue to contact her.
Because, he was afraid, afraid that the feelings he had suppressed in the depths of his heart for too long would suddenly burst out, afraid that he would bring her down the bottomless abyss.
