"Open the door." Qi Chenglin's voice was calm. "I'll leave after you enter the door."
Ruan Danchen was speechless. She inexplicably felt very warm in her heart, as if she had someone to rely on. Her heart trembled.
She silently took the key to open the door, turned around and said, "You can go back."
Qi Chengzhi's mouth slightly curved. "Go in."
Ruan Danchen summoned her courage, looked up at him with a blushing face, and then turned to enter the door.
But when she was about to close the door, the door was suddenly blocked by his palm. He stepped in with one foot and left one foot outside the door. His other hand pressed against the back of her head, and he leaned over to kiss her lips.
After a long time, Ruan Danchen came to her senses, but Qi Chenglin was already gone. There was only her closed door in front of her. Everything just now seemed like a dream.
Ruan Danchen was still a little dizzy. She changed her shoes, went back to the bedroom, and changed her clothes. She was about to take the changed clothes to wash them, but she smelled Qi Chenglin's scent on her clothes. His men's cologne and a faint smell of tobacco, just like when she was in his arms.
Ruan Danchen's heart was beating very fast. She looked at her clothes in a daze, and even a little reluctant to wash them.
"Ruan Danchen, what are you thinking!" She suddenly shook her head hard and quickly threw the clothes into the washing machine.
Qi Chenglin went out of the building, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down before returning to the car.
Qi Youxuan was using a straw to suck out the pearls in the milk tea one by one, chewing with relish like chewing gum.
Seeing Qi Chenglin sitting in the car, Qi Youxuan chewed twice and said, "Dad, when we were eating in the Japanese restaurant in the mall today, we met a woman who seemed to know Aunt Ruan, but Aunt Ruan didn't like her very much."
"Huh?" Qi Chenglin didn't pay much attention to it at first, but just casually asked, "What does the woman look like?"
Qi Youxuan described and suddenly remembered, "They mentioned the Shen family, and there was someone called Shen Jialiang or something."
Qi Chenglin's expression became serious and said, "Got it."
He lowered his head and looked at his son. He knew how smart his son was. He was usually strict with him because he didn't want him to become arrogant. After all, he was born in the Qi family. As the eldest grandson, if he wasn't taught well from a young age, it would be easy for him to go astray and become arrogant.
Fortunately, both the Old Madam and Guan Liya had taught Qi Youxuan well since he was a child. As a result, the little guy didn't have the self-awareness that he was the golden grandson of the Qi family.
Qi Chenglin's expression softened. He rubbed Qi Youxuan's head gently. "Well done."
The next day, during lunch break, Ruan Danchen packed up her things and went out of the company to have lunch nearby.
"Miss Ruan." A familiar voice rang out. Ruan Danchen froze and stopped in her tracks.
Mu Huaisheng closed the car door and walked towards her.
"Mr. Mu," Ruan Danchen greeted him politely.
"You want to eat? Together? "Mu Huaisheng asked with a faint smile.
Ruan Danchen hesitated. "This … is not very convenient."
"Why is it not convenient?" Mu Huaisheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Mr. Mu, you are not my client now. It is easy to cause gossip if I go out with you like this." Ruan Danchen could only say.
"What gossip can there be? We are not doing anything shameful. I am unmarried, and you are unmarried. Do I need to ask someone else's permission to treat you to a meal? " Mu Huaisheng's voice was still light and elegant. There was no anger in it. "Is someone in your company gossiping?"
Qi Chenglin sat in the car and squinted at Mu Huaisheng and Ruan Danchen. He took out President Zhao's business card and dialed the number on it.
"President Zhao, it's me, Qi Chenglin."
"Uh …"
"It's nothing. I just want to ask President Zhao for a favor."
"Uh …"
"Well, it's like this —"
Ruan Danchen sighed and said, "Mr. Mu, you may think it doesn't matter, but I still have to work in the company and maintain the necessary interpersonal relationships. If there is too much gossip, it will be difficult for me to do my work. Even my ability will be questioned. They will think that I have used some improper means to get the business, or that I am trying to climb up the social ladder. I am in an awkward situation now, and I don't want to bear the burden of some groundless charges. "
Mu Huaisheng knew what she was referring to. Her current workload was so little because of Mu Sisi. Because of this, no matter who she was close to, as long as the other party had a bit of status, it would cause gossip.
"Even if I want to date you seriously, can't I? Since when can't I date someone even if the other party's conditions are good? " Mu Huaisheng stood there steadily, right at the entrance of the company. It was very conspicuous with people coming and going.
His voice was not loud, and it was very light, making people feel comfortable listening to it.
"You didn't make use of me, and I didn't want to play around with you. I think you're a good person, and I want to pursue you and develop a serious relationship with you. We've done it with a clear conscience, so why should we care about what others say?" Mu Huaisheng asked calmly.
Ruan Danchen was a little uncomfortable. She looked at the passing crowd on both sides and said in a low voice, "Mr. Mu, I am very grateful for your love. I don't know what is so good about me for you to like me. But I really don't want to think about this right now. Mr. Mu, I only see you as a customer. I have no other thoughts. I — "
The phone suddenly rang from her bag, interrupting Ruan Danchen's words.
Ruan Danchen apologized and took out her phone from her bag. It was a call from President Zhao. She picked it up. "President Zhao."
"Xiao Ruan, have you gone far?" President Zhao asked over the phone.
"No, I am at the entrance of the company," Ruan Danchen replied. Ruan Danchen replied. She was too embarrassed to look at Mu Huaisheng right now. She gave him an apologetic look before looking elsewhere.
Suddenly, she saw an especially large Mercedes-Benz parked in front of her. Ruan Danchen's heart skipped a beat. Because of Qi Chenglin, every time she saw that car logo, her heart would beat especially fast.
But she quickly calmed down. She thought that Qi Chenglin must be in the office now. Why would he come here? It was just a coincidence that a car of the same brand was parked there.
The Mercedes-Benz's license plate was blocked by the car in front, so she didn't see it and didn't care.
She heard President Zhao continue, "That's great. Can you come back now? There's a client coming and you have to attend to him. The rest of the design department has already gone out for lunch. I can't find anyone. "
"No problem," Ruan Danchen said quickly. She was a little grateful that President Zhao called at such a good time.
She didn't have to be involved with Mu Huaisheng anymore. It was nothing to be hungry.
After hanging up, Ruan Danchen smiled and explained, "Mr. Mu, I'm sorry. President Zhao called and asked me to go back and work overtime."
Mu Huaisheng nodded. "Work is more important. I can't force you."
Ruan Danchen was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to be so direct with Mu Huaisheng, but she couldn't let him keep coming here to stop her. It was better to make things clear.
She nodded at Mu Huaisheng and turned to walk into the office building.
"Miss Ruan," Mu Huaisheng called out from behind her.
Ruan Danchen stopped and turned back. Mu Huaisheng walked up the stairs and stood in front of her again. He said in a low voice, "I'm very serious about you. If you don't want to talk about feelings now, let's be friends first. I just hope that you can give me a chance. Don't put up a wall in front of me and push me away before I can get close to you. We can try to be friends first and get to know each other. If you really don't like it, I won't force you. "
Mu Huaisheng had already said this. Ruan Danchen really didn't know what to say. She could only say, "I'll go up first."
Ruan Danchen rushed in. Coincidentally, the elevator came and she quickly ran in. That subconscious reaction was especially real. It was as if she couldn't wait to leave him.
Mu Huaisheng felt bitter in his heart. He didn't know when he had become so unpopular.
He lowered his head and sighed. Shaking his head, he turned around and was stunned.
He saw Qi Chenglin get out of a black Mercedes-Benz and casually close the door. The car was parked not far from his car.
Qi Chenglin was wearing a pair of black sunglasses. It was a Ray-Ban pilot series. Under the strong afternoon sun, he looked very cool.
He went up the stairs and looked at Mu Huaisheng. Without taking off his sunglasses, he nodded lightly. "Mr. Mu."
Mu Huaisheng suppressed the doubts in his heart and greeted him. "Are you going to Cheng Shi?"
Since Qi Chenglin was here, the only connection Mu Huaisheng could think of was Cheng Shi.
Qi Chenglin didn't hide it and nodded proudly.
"What's the matter?" Mu Huaisheng asked. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Qi Chenglin just said two words. "Something's the matter."
Mu Huaisheng said, "Uh …"
"I'll go first." Qi Chenglin said lightly and nodded at Mu Huaisheng. He walked in and stopped in front of the elevator to wait.
Mu Huaisheng couldn't help but turn around to look at him. He only retracted his gaze when Qi Chenglin walked into the elevator. He was still a little suspicious as he walked into the car.
That day, he met Qi Chenglin at Sheng Yue while discussing work with Ruan Danchen. Was it a coincidence that they met again today?
Ruan Danchen returned to her office. President Zhao was there too.
"Haha, Xiao Ruan, I'm sorry to call you back during lunch break." President Zhao chuckled.
"It's nothing, President Zhao. Where is the client?" Ruan Danchen asked. She felt that President Zhao was being more polite to her because of Song Yu.
"He should be here soon," President Zhao said and waited with Ruan Danchen.
After a few minutes, Ruan Danchen saw Qi Chenglin enter the office. He had already taken off his sunglasses.
"Young Master Lin." President Zhao quickly greeted him politely.
Qi Chenglin smiled faintly and said calmly, "I'm sorry. I only have time now. I came suddenly and interrupted your rest."
"You're welcome." President Zhao smiled apologetically. "Xiao Ruan, Young Master Lin is here to discuss something. Why don't you bring him to have lunch nearby and talk while eating?"
