At that time, she only felt a chill all over her body. From the looks of it, Liu Ronghua seemed to have successfully moved in. Otherwise, with Shen Jialiang's previous style, how could he allow her to freely enter and exit the Shen garden?
She felt cold all over and remembered that Liu Ronghua had once told her that her son was born dead. If this was the case, how could Shen Jialiang let Liu Ronghua live in it?
Ruan Danchen's heart sank as she thought of a possibility. The Shen Family was afraid that she would be reluctant to part with the child after she gave birth to the child. In the future, there would be trouble, so they lied to her that the child was dead, so that she would not secretly pay attention to her child in the future.
At that time, she was leaning against a telephone pole next to Shen Yuan. Her chest hurt so much that she couldn't straighten her back. She didn't expect her mother to betray her to this extent for her sake.
Therefore, she also gave up the idea of asking Liu Ronghua.
She didn't know if Qi Chenglin's son was hers, so she had been paying attention all these years.
It was only when he attended Song Yu's wedding that he met Qi Youxuan. That day at Qi Cheng's home, she had asked for Qi Youxuan's birthday. She was sure that Youxuan was her son.
At that time, she really had mixed feelings. She was very grateful that her son didn't die and could live healthily. Moreover, in the absence of his mother, he still grew up to be so cute and lively.
However, she also felt sorry. Youxuan was already so old, and she had not been by his side for the past six years. She felt sorry for him, and she also felt that she did not have the right to acknowledge Qi Youxuan. She just wanted to look at him from afar, and if there was a chance, talk to him.
She was already very grateful for this.
Nothing was better than her child living happily and healthily.
She didn't want to rashly acknowledge him and disrupt his life. She didn't want to create such a heavy burden for him. She didn't want to see the carefree smile disappear from You Xuan's face.
Ruan Danchen sniffled and washed away the tears on her face.
Because she had cried for a long time in her dream, her eyelids were a little swollen and bloodshot from crying.
She went to the kitchen and made a simple sandwich. She warmed a glass of milk for herself and took out some ice cubes from the fridge. She wrapped them in a cloth and put them on her eyes while eating breakfast.
After breakfast, her eyelids were no longer so swollen. She dripped a few drops of eye drops to remove the red blood. She quickly put on some light makeup and went to the company.
…
…
As soon as he entered the design department, Song Yu glanced at Ruan Danchen. Although she had makeup on her face, he could still tell that Ruan Danchen was not in good spirits.
"Dan Chen, what happened to you? Did you not rest well?" Song Yu was slightly surprised. "Why are your eyes so red?"
Ruan Danchen hurriedly took out her portable mirror to look at herself. Although she had used some eye drops and her eyes weren't as red as they were in the morning, they were still quite obvious.
"No, I just don't know why I had a dream. In the dream, I cried very hard." Ruan Danchen blushed and said with some embarrassment.
"Chang Lai will pick me up for the banquet tonight. Why don't you go with me?" Song Yu suggested in a low voice.
The completion of Qi Lin Hotel was celebrated at Sheng Yue's buffet restaurant. The main purpose was to reward the employees of Qi Lin and Cheng Shi.
Ruan Danchen glanced at her with a smile. "What are you talking about? Chang Lai will definitely take you to Qi Chengzhi's place. When that time comes, you'll be with Qi Chengzhi. Where do you expect me to go? I don't dare to be your third wheel. The company will send a car to send us there tonight. I'll just go with the company. When the time comes, I'll go directly to Sheng Yue. "
Song Yu smiled. She reckoned that Chang Lai would really come to pick her up early. She was pregnant now, and Qi Chengzhi had been asking her to leave early every day. President Zhao didn't dare to say anything, but Ruan Danchen couldn't.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, there was still a long time before they got off work. Chang Lai picked Song Yu up.
…
…
At night, Ruan Danchen followed the company's car to Sheng Yue. Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu arrived not long after they arrived. The two of them went to a corner and sat alone. Ruan Danchen didn't specifically go to greet Song Yu.
Although she had a good relationship with Song Yu, she was afraid that it would have a bad influence if she suddenly greeted him in front of so many people. People would gossip and say that she was fawning on the rich and powerful and specially went to flatter them. She didn't want to be so ostentatious.
Not long after, because Song Yu was pregnant, Qi Chengzhi left with Song Yu first.
Because Qi Chenglin had to work overtime, he arrived after Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu left.
For some reason, he came in very low-key. In such a large buffet restaurant, two colleagues from the company were chatting and eating. The scene was very chaotic. Except for some important cadres of Qi Lin, no one would pay special attention to whether Qi Chenglin came or not.
However, as soon as he came in, Ruan Danchen felt it.
She could see the door from her position, but it was very far away from the door. She didn't pay special attention to the movement at the door. Suddenly, she shivered, and her heart beat faster. The tips of her ears also began to heat up. She couldn't help but sneak a glance at the door and saw Qi Chenglin appear at the door in a well-ironed suit.
His tie was still neatly tied, and the tailoring of the suit was especially well-fitting. It directly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow inverted triangle figure perfectly.
As he stood there, he seemed to have an oppressive aura, which made her breath become unnatural.
Qi Chenglin didn't seem to see her. There were so many people in the cafeteria, so he couldn't have specially come to look for her.
Ruan Danchen didn't dare to look openly, so she secretly saw him looking in the other direction from the corner of her eyes. She nodded and walked over in that direction. Only then did Ruan Danchen realize that Qi Chenglin had gone to look for Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge.
Ruan Danchen slightly relaxed, and heard the colleague sitting across from her say, "Xiao Ruan, aren't you going to get something to eat?"
Only then did Ruan Danchen remember that she hadn't eaten yet, and the plate in front of her was still empty.
She said, "I'll go get it now." She sneaked another glance. Qi Chenglin seemed to be focused on chatting with Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue. He didn't look at anyone, so she got up and went to the Japanese section to choose some sashimi that she liked.
Then she took a small plate and squeezed some wasabi into it. Just as she was about to pour soy sauce into it, she suddenly heard a mellow and mocking voice. "Didn't you say you were going to prepare a gift for Youxuan? It's been so long, and I still haven't seen him. Are you just brushing him off? "
This sudden voice caught Ruan Danchen off guard. She jumped in fright, and the hand that was pouring the soy sauce trembled. The soy sauce dripped onto her pants. It wasn't much, but she was wearing white pants today, so one or two drops on her pants was especially conspicuous.
Ruan Danchen turned her head in shock and looked at the man who had walked over without her knowing.
She straightened her body and only reached his chest. What entered her eyes was his particularly muscular chest, even though he was wearing a shirt and suit, and that tie.
He was so close to her that Ruan Danchen felt as if their toes were about to touch. She could still feel the heat coming from his chest.
The scent of his perfume was still there after a day, and it clearly wafted into her nose. Ruan Danchen's face instantly turned red, burning hot. She felt as if she was standing next to a stove, and her face was burning hot.
"Young … Young Master Lin." Ruan Danchen gulped and hurriedly took a step back. At this moment, she was so nervous that her scalp was burning, and she didn't have the mind to pay attention to whether anyone else had noticed them.
Qi Chenglin's eyes narrowed slightly. He watched as she hurriedly took a step back as though she had seen some sort of terrifying beast. His dark eyes glanced at the soy sauce stain on her pants.
She lowered her head to look at the large hole in her pants and hurriedly found an excuse. "I'll go to the bathroom to clean it."
With that said, she hurriedly walked away with her head lowered. When she passed by Qi Chenglin, it was as though he was on fire. She even purposely circled around him to stay a step away from him.
The corner of Qi Chenglin's mouth twitched, and he scoffed coldly. He narrowed his eyes and watched as Ruan Danchen hurriedly walked toward the bathroom with her head lowered.
…
…
Ruan Danchen used a tissue to wipe the soy sauce stain on her pants. However, she could only wipe it a little lighter, and the stain was still there. She could only wait until she got home to deal with it.
She rubbed the tissue and threw it away. She looked at the mirror and sighed, thinking that she could only find an excuse to leave earlier.
After a while, she left the bathroom. As soon as she turned around, she froze.
Qi Chenglin was leaning against the wall with his right foot on the bottom of the wall. He was holding a cigarette between his elegant long fingers and blowing out smoke. She didn't know what he was thinking, but his already cold face looked even more grim at the moment.
The hair hanging down from his forehead left a shadow around his eyes. He looked particularly stern and difficult to approach.
Ruan Danchen felt that her stomach was about to start hurting. Qi Chenglin turned his head and saw her. He raised his eyebrows and straightened his body. However, he turned around and leaned his shoulder against the wall again. He took a puff of his cigarette.
"I bought Youxuan's gift a long time ago, but I haven't found a chance to give it to him," Ruan Danchen said with a stomachache expression.
Why was this man helping his son to chase after a gift like he was chasing after a debt?
Qi Chenglin blew out a mouthful of smoke at her. The two of them were not standing close to each other, but he still blew smoke in her face.
Ruan Danchen pursed her lips and held her breath. She didn't want to inhale his secondhand smoke. She frowned slightly and took half a step back.
Qi Chenglin sneered and asked, "Are the gifts at your house?"
Ruan Danchen didn't want to admit it, but she still nodded slowly.
Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows and stood up straight. He said in a low voice, "I'm free tonight. I'll go home with you to get the gifts."
"…" Ruan Danchen pursed her lips speechlessly. Why didn't he ask if she was free if he was free?
"Hehe, Young Master Lin, aren't you going to attend the celebration party tonight? Don't you need to say something later? "Ruan Danchen laughed dryly and asked.
Qi Chenglin narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered. His mellow voice was slightly mocking. "Mr. Qi Zhongxun came to visit the employees in person tonight."
Ruan Danchen was speechless.
Qi Chenglin didn't say anything. He glanced at Ruan Danchen sarcastically and turned around to walk away.
Ruan Danchen didn't know what Qi Chenglin was thinking and if he was going to let her go just like that, so she didn't follow him.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Qi Chenglin turned his head and said calmly.
Ruan Danchen felt as if her throat was being squeezed. She could only walk with heavy steps and follow Qi Chenglin reluctantly.
She returned to her seat and saw that Qi Chenglin had already walked straight to the door. He stood there and didn't go anywhere.
Even though he was far away and she couldn't see his gaze clearly, she felt that Qi Chenglin was staring at her with his especially bright eyes, waiting for her to leave.
Ruan Danchen felt her scalp go numb. She grabbed her bag and said goodbye to her colleagues at the same desk and department, saying that she was leaving first.
"You're leaving now? You haven't eaten yet. "Her colleague looked at the empty plate in front of Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen had gone to the Japanese section just now, which was quite far from here. Her colleagues here didn't notice what happened between her and Qi Chenglin. Ruan Danchen hurriedly hid from Qi Chenglin and left after leaving the plate in the Japanese section, so she didn't bring it back.
"I'm a little uncomfortable. I don't know if it's because I didn't eat well in the afternoon. I feel nauseous and have no appetite." Ruan Danchen held her stomach. She was already in low spirits after having nightmares the whole night, but now she really looked like she was feeling unwell.
"Then hurry up and leave." Her colleague said, "It's a pity that there's so much delicious food, and it's so expensive. Usually, the group purchase price is more than 300 yuan. It's a loss if you don't eat it."
Ruan Danchen smiled helplessly and sighed. "It's my fault for being unlucky today."
She picked up her bag and walked to the door.
Qi Chenglin saw that she was almost at the door before he turned and walked out.
Ruan Danchen followed behind Qi Chenglin and kept a distance of three to four meters, afraid that she would be misunderstood.
When Qi Chenglin walked to the door, Sheng Yue's people had already driven his car over and handed him the key. He had given the order when he was waiting for Ruan Danchen at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Qi Chenglin didn't look back and got into the car first.
Ruan Danchen looked around and didn't see anyone familiar, so she quickly ran over. She opened the back door and was about to get in when she heard Qi Chenglin's cold voice. "Do you think I'm your driver?"
Qi Chenglin only turned his face slightly to let Ruan Danchen see his cold face.
"…" Ruan Danchen was stunned. She could only close the back door meekly and sit in front again.
Sitting so close to Qi Chenglin, Ruan Danchen was extremely nervous. She felt that the car was filled with Qi Chenglin's scent. His scent seemed to be wrapped tightly around her body.
She could only lower her head desperately, but her gaze unconsciously landed on the pair of long legs beside her.
The Mercedes-Benz that Qi Chenglin drove was very big and spacious, but his pair of strong and powerful long legs still felt very curled up in the car.
Suddenly, Ruan Danchen felt that her scalp was burning as if it was going to burn a hole in it. It was as if Qi Chenglin was looking at her. Every time he stared at her, Ruan Danchen would have this feeling.
She didn't dare to raise her head. She only dared to look out of the corner of her eye and realized that Qi Chenglin really seemed to be looking at her.
Ruan Danchen felt that her face was already burning up. The pressure was so great that even breathing became especially difficult.
She wanted to pretend that she didn't notice, but Qi Chenglin didn't start the car. She felt that the space in the car was getting narrower and narrower, and Qi Chenglin's gaze was getting more and more red.
Could it be that he found out that she was peeking at his long legs just now?
Ruan Danchen braced herself and raised her head. She met Qi Chenglin's face. His dark eyes were bright and he was staring at her with a burning gaze.
Ruan Danchen gulped nervously. She felt that her heart was beating especially erratically. "Young … Young Master Lin …"
"You're not fastening your seatbelt?" Qi Chenglin's voice was calm, and it didn't match his burning gaze at all.
Ruan Danchen: "…"
So he was looking at her for so long just for this?
"Why didn't you tell me if you wanted to remind me to fasten my seatbelt?" Ruan Danchen pulled up her seatbelt. Just as she was about to buckle it, she realized that Qi Chenglin was still looking at her.
She raised her head to look at Qi Chenglin. He looked as if he was unhappy that she talked back to him just now, and his stare made her feel especially stressed.
