Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

When Zheng Kaiwen woke up, it was me again. He also seemed to find the development of the plot funny, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the back of his hand rested on his forehead: "Why are you back?" "Akun called me back." I took his hand away expressionlessly, and touched his forehead. It was not so hot anymore, at least the body temperature had dropped to 39 degrees.My heart finally settled down. He took a breath and murmured, "He's really busy." "He's worried about you." My cold hand touched his head, he couldn't help shaking his whole body, and closed his eyes.

"Tell me," I suddenly lowered my voice, and he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he already knew my next line.But I still insisted on saying: "Why do you like me?" I believe my eyes have never been so determined and persistent, and he must have understood that this question is a must-answer question. He turned his head away from me and continued, "I don't know. If I knew, maybe it wouldn't be so troublesome." "Then why do you still like it?" "I don't know, I really don't know." He sighed and said, "You always reject me, time and time again. But I just don't give up, and I don't know why, it's like being bewitched. At first I felt reconciled, but later found out that it was not. I wanted to come to Shanghai to see you once, and I only saw you once, and then I will leave and never see you again. We can part ways in the future, and you can live an ordinary and happy life. "

He looked at me, with a slight smile in his eyes, and said softly: "But I still said that day, can you stay by my side? I know you will refuse, so I don't want to hear it." I suddenly felt infinite pain, and gradually I couldn't see his appearance clearly: "Since you asked all the questions, why didn't you listen to my answer." "I'm sorry." He looked at me and said with a smile, "I'm being selfish." "Fool." I said loudly, "I, Liang Luoxin, have neither talent nor appearance. Why do you like me? Do you know that as long as you say that you don't like me now, I can be cruel and leave you. I can go back and live my own life, but..." I cried and said intermittently: "Why do you like me, do you know... In this way... I can never leave you again."

He looked at me for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said softly, "I'm sorry." The third sentence is "sorry". I flung myself beside his bed, tears rolling down my cheeks one by one.Really disappointing. Hey, it's not a Taiwan bitter movie. His broad palms caressed my head, and his slender fingers ran through my hair.I just buried my face in his chest.He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, wrapping his arms around me gently. "Believe me, I never gave up on you. I went to Shanghai to negotiate with the project bidding team, but when I returned to Hong Kong, you had already left. That night, I was in the apartment I rented for you After sitting all night, thinking about many things, I didn’t know what happened the next morning, but I flew to Shanghai to find me.”

"how did you find me?" You should know that there is neither a clear house number nor a clear road sign in my place. It is not old Shanghai. As long as you make a detour in the alley, you will get lost immediately.So with Zheng Kaiwen alone, it is absolutely impossible to find me so easily.So I immediately thought of that collaborator - Yan Xiaonan. Zheng Kaiwen didn't answer, just looked at me and smiled. "Liang Luoxin, I don't want the woman I like to suffer, and I don't want to see her cry. So when I saw you that night, I thought, maybe you will be happier staying in Shanghai than being with me. So, you still Stay here."

I raised my head and said, "Why? Didn't I promise to stay by your side? You still want to drive me away." Zheng Kaiwen suddenly laughed when he heard this, stroked my hair and said, "Fool." I raised my head and said with a smirk, "I'm not a fool, I'm two hundred and five." He looked at me with tenderness in his dark brown pupils.I've never seen Zheng Kaiwen like this, and I can't believe that he doesn't love me. "Liang Luoxin, you have to think clearly." He held my hand and said very solemnly: "You may suffer a lot if you follow me, and you will be very unstable. You have already seen that I have to live with my father. I can't give you any benefits. Everything about me now and in the future is just an unknown."

I said with a sad face: "Who would propose to his girlfriend like this? You scare everyone away." He also laughed, and joked: "You want to marry me so much, you don't even have a diamond ring and a rose, so you are willing to marry me?" "Next time, if you dare not marry me, I will die." Anyway, I was shameless, so I just threw it to the end. He smiled and said, "Not only what I just said, but also..." "No 'and'." I stared at him with big eyes, and he looked at me. After watching for a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said, "You really are a two hundred and five."

I snorted, grabbed his collar and said aggressively, "Two hundred and five, you have to marry too!" "Akun." He suddenly called out, and Akun walked in from the living room like a ghost. I was surprised, he just went out to buy things.So, he heard what he said just now?I immediately loosened Zheng Kaiwen's collar, and hurriedly straightened it up for him. "Go and make arrangements, I will return to Hong Kong early tomorrow morning." "I'm going too." I said. Akun looked at Zheng Kaiwen, then at me.Zheng Kaiwen nodded, and he did it without hesitation.

"Then..." Zheng Kaiwen grabbed my hand and said slowly, "How do you explain to Du Zeshan, have you signed a contract, and do you need to pay him liquidated damages? I'll write you a check." Only then did I suddenly realize that I had to face the big problem of Du Zeshan.This is indeed a very serious problem, but seeing his pale face, I really can't bear to let him bother me any more.So I imitated Zheng Kaiwen's tone and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, I will deal with it." After leaving the hotel, I took a taxi to Du Zeshan's office building without hesitation.

Although I was thinking about how to talk to Du Zeshan during the short 30-minute drive, as soon as I walked into the high-end office building with a strict atmosphere, I was blinded by the thought that I was getting closer and closer to Du Zeshan. His piercing gaze behind those ultra-thin lenses whizzed past my mind like two knives. I took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy glass door. The lady at the reception greeted me with a friendly smile. Before I could speak, she said, "Miss Liang, Mr. Du has been waiting for you for a long time." "wait for me?" "But he's in a meeting right now, and he told you to wait for him in his office." She said, and led me into Du Zeshan's office.Standing in the panoramic office on the 32nd floor of an A-level office building in the city center overlooking Shanghai, you really have the illusion of being king.

This is the second time I have entered this office, the first time was during the interview, although at that time I did not know that this was Du Zeshan's office. Du Zeshan is a clean person, and I have already noticed this on the first day of the interview.His desk is always neat and spotless, and even the paper and pen holders seem to be demarcated on purpose, and he can detect even the slightest movement. This is very similar to that person, if you touch Jiang Yang's pencil or computer, even if you are not careful, he will definitely find out. Although the laptop is white, the keyboard is spotless, as clean as transparent.I can seem to see the fingers typing on the keyboard, slender and powerful, with well-defined tendons, and his hands... often make me feel so familiar. I couldn't help touching the neat keyboard lightly, and the same is true of Zheng Kaiwen's notebook.But he prefers black, everything is so heavy and depressing, I once thought his heart was like a deep sea, you can never touch the bottom of it.But now, I have actually entered this sea. Du Zeshan's secretary came in and warmly brought me coffee.But coffee did not stop the tiredness.Maybe it was because I took care of Zheng Kaiwen day and night without sleep, I didn't know when I fell asleep.When I opened my eyes, I heard the sound of typing. Du Zeshan was sitting behind the desk, typing on the keyboard lightly. "You're awake." He said to me suddenly. I sat up abruptly, something slipped from my body, and I reached out to grab it, but it was a men's suit with fine fabric. "How did you sleep?" He picked up his suit and put it on. I haven't recovered from the situation in front of me, but I can already see that the sky outside the glass window is black.it's dark.God, it's getting dark.How long have I slept? I hurriedly looked down at my watch... "It's half past seven." He smiled at me, pointed around and said, "Everyone is off work." Like thunder, I actually slept in Du Zeshan's office all afternoon. "Why didn't you wake me up?" "Seeing how tired you are, I didn't wake you up." "Mr. Du, I..." I was stunned sober and stood up abruptly.I didn't come here to chat with him.I have important issues and need to show him.But before I opened my mouth, Du Zeshan interrupted me: "Why don't we have dinner together?" "Eat?" I looked at him confused. "Haven't you eaten yet? I reserved a table at the restaurant on the Bund." He walked to the door of the office, opened the door, looked at me and said, "Let's go." The restaurants on the Bund are as attractive as Cinderella's glass slipper. To be honest, even in my dreams, I would like to enjoy the night view while having a candlelight dinner with my lover in a high-end restaurant on the Bund.I chanted this wish countless times in Jiang Yang's ear, but he never paid any attention to me.Romance is like a money-losing product with high cost but no profit to him. However, I really like the night view of the Bund, and there is no way to compare it to Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong. I was a little dazed watching, and didn't even notice that Du Zeshan was ordering food.It wasn't until he suddenly asked me: "What do you want to drink?" I turned around and suddenly found a tall and tall Frenchman standing by our table with a smile on his face, which scared me so much that I almost fell off the chair . Du Zeshan lowered his head and laughed silently. Although it wasn't a teasing smile, it made my ears burn. "What kind of wine?" I brushed my hair in a hurry, and said awkwardly: "I...I don't know how to drink." "Then I'll decide." He closed the menu and handed it to the chef, murmured, and the gringo left.I couldn't help asking him curiously: "Why does the chef of this restaurant come to entertain you in person?" "I just have a stake in this restaurant." That's all... This tone is exactly the same as the "princelings" in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies. He smiled and spread the napkin gracefully: "Actually, when I was in France, I liked to eat the blood duck here. At that time, I always thought that if I had the opportunity, I must eat it with the person I like." I spread out the napkin in the same way. "Have you ever been in France?" "Stayed for two years." There was a smile in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to be interested in my past, too?" To be honest, everyone would be interested in this kind of guy.A good-looking talent, young and promising, or a business elite, not to mention a wealthy family, at least he can be considered a rich man.Presumably, she must have a superior family background, a frightening degree of education, and a lot of fans like the woman who threw water on Zheng Kaiwen. And when I found out that this guy seemed to be Zheng Kaiwen's deadly enemy, that kind of curiosity swelled up like Soflei in the oven. "The past... I don't want to mention it." He looked out the window, really didn't want to mention it. The waiter came over to open the red wine and asked Du Zeshan to taste the wine.Du Zeshan took a sip of red wine and thought for a while before finally nodding his head.Although I have seen all this on TV, it still feels unbelievable when it actually happens in front of my eyes. Du Zeshan held up the glass filled with red wine, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "You came to see me suddenly, what's the matter? About Zheng Kaiwen?" I feel guilty like a ball of cotton, I don't know what to say.It seems that Du Zeshan has a pair of eyes on me, and he can see through my thoughts all the time.He knew that I was thinking about Zheng Kaiwen in my mind, so he suddenly mentioned Zheng Kaiwen. This person is really terrible. Without waiting for my answer, he continued: "It seems that the thinking questions I left you were really strenuous, and you were so tired that you fell asleep in my office." I turned my eyes away, not daring to face him. When the waiter came to serve the appetizer, I didn't bother to know what it was.Du Zeshan still sprinkled pepper on his plate unhurriedly, and then said slowly: "I know Zheng Kaiwen has come to Shanghai, if I guessed correctly, you have already met. So today you You came to my office to reject me, right?" He smiled and said, "Since I gave you time to think, I'm ready to accept your rejection. Although it's faster than I thought, but if it's because of Zheng Kaiwen, I don't think it's strange." "You sent someone to spy on me?" "It doesn't mean that." He still said slowly and unhurriedly: "You must not know, didn't he tell you? Actually, the relationship between Zheng Kaiwen and me...is not what you think. Simple, we are definitely not as simple as our competitors in the market." "I don't want to know," I said, putting down my knife and fork. "It doesn't matter." Du Zeshan said: "I said that I am a person who distinguishes between public and private. Since you and we have no relationship in business, then..." He looked up at me, smiled and said: "I have already decided , I want to officially start pursuing you." With a shake of my hand, the water glass fell to the ground, ringing loudly, and my heart beat out of rhythm. what to say! What is this guy talking to himself? "Although I don't know how to drink, red wine should be fine." He didn't seem to see my shocked reaction, nor could he hear my question. He just slowly poured red wine into my glass and said, "This is 82 2019 red wine, marked with a production date of February 17." He put down the bottle and looked at me and said, "I think you'll like it." The red liquid swirls in the cup, with a mellow taste and a faint floral fragrance.I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. February 17, 1982, why is this day so familiar... Damn it, it's actually my birthday. Du Zeshan, is he kidding me? Is he really going after me? Why is he pursuing me? "You want to ask me why?" Du Zeshan looked at me and seemed to be able to read my mind. Every time he opened his mouth, my jaw would drop in shock.I don't understand how he knows everything, how he knows everything... He suddenly stared blankly at the faint candlelight on the table, smiled, and said to himself: "Yes, why..." why? "Maybe it's because I hate Zheng Kaiwen." He said, "I might as well tell you directly that Zheng Kaiwen has someone I arranged around him. I was also responsible for forcing him to give up the Bund project this time. In the future, many things will happen." See me With a strange expression on his face, he seemed very satisfied, and said with a smile: "For example, I will poach the most capable people under his command, snatch away his favorite woman, and even..." "Is it because of these reasons that you hired me?" I didn't even realize that the napkin that was laid out well was crumpled into a ball of waste paper in my hands at some point. He froze for a moment, then said, "You can say that." "Because you want to take his woman away, you want to pursue me?" His eyes kept changing, and finally he said helplessly, "Maybe." What a mess of a plot.Why since I met Zheng Kaiwen, my life has started to go on a messy path. Everything that happened was beyond my power. I was like a complete novice in boxing. I met boxing champion Tyson for the first time. "Mr. Du, the only thing I appreciate from you today is your confession." I stood up abruptly, and the chair made a shrill sound behind me. The guests around gave me strange looks, the manager of the restaurant took a few steps forward, but Du Zeshan raised his hand to block it.He looked at me, slowly leaned back on the chair, and said with a very elegant smile: "I never beat around the bush with the woman I like." "Don't say what you like casually," I threw away the napkin in my hand: "I said it...but you have to be responsible." I turned and left the restaurant without hesitation, the door was almost knocked open by me, the doorman dropped his contact lens in shock, I rushed out of the restaurant in such a strange atmosphere, and ended my dream candlelight dinner. I don't know why, Du Zeshan makes me feel so terrified, so scared... I want to leave him, immediately, immediately. Now, I only have Zheng Kaiwen in my mind, and I want to see Zheng Kaiwen like crazy.As long as I go back to him, even if the sky is about to fall, I won't be afraid anymore.
