Can't help feeling for you: can't live without you

Chapter 38
Who is right and wrong is only in his or their eyes.

After returning from Hong Kong, Dong Zhiwei continued to work in the company.

Her appearance surprised many people, and the voices of many conversations stopped abruptly when she passed by. When she walked into the administrative department, she found a group of people gathered around the same desk in the big office, even with serious expressions. Wanwen of her was involved, and the discussion was so intense that no one noticed her approaching.

Dong Zhiwei walked behind them, trying to let her gaze pass through the gap between people. Although she couldn't see everything on the computer screen clearly due to too many obstacles, she probably knew what they were looking at.

Thinking of Yuan Jingrui's newest girlfriends who are now being talked about all over the world, she groaned in her heart, wishing she could be transparent.

She didn't expect Yuan Jingrui to feel her feelings. Although she thought she knew Yuan Jingrui well after working with him for such a long time, after that night, Yuan Jingrui kept refreshing himself almost every day. See how she feels about him.

It's not that Dong Zhiwei has never been in love. She also knows that many men will show a completely different side from the usual when they are close to people close to her. But what she didn't expect was that there would be such a strong superficial disguise .

Yuan Jingrui has always given people the impression of being strong, a mature man, always smiling, doing things without haste, lifting weights lightly, and expressing unhappiness by squinting his eyes slightly, like a carnivore locking its prey on the grassland .

But in private, he was so completely different.She likes to show her teeth and smile (to her); she is very interested in doing everything, no matter day or night (with her), she must be on the left side when she sleeps; The whole face is wrinkled; he likes to pester the person he likes (such as her), and even hugs her waist to prevent her from getting out of bed. It turns out that a man who looks very mature in appearance also has a childish temper Yes, it's really dumbfounding.

Therefore, in the week after returning from Hong Kong, Dong Zhiwei had very little time to be free. Even when she went home, she was in a hurry. Her mother sighed, grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Why are you so busy? Isn't your company Is it already on the market? I don’t have any vacations or anything, I’m always on business trips.”

Dad made an understanding expression, and spoke for Zhiwei, "I'm busy because Zhiwei's work is important, right, daughter?" He said, taking the travel bag Dong Zhiwei was carrying, "I'll take you out."

"No, no, no." Dong Zhiwei lowered his head and grabbed his bag tightly, feeling 1000 million times ashamed that he had cheated his parents. Yuan Jingrui's car must be waiting at the entrance of the alley, so how could she explain that her boss drove to pick her up in person?

Of course she wants to share her happiness with her parents, but she hopes that all of this will happen when the relationship between her and Yuan Jingrui is stable and there will be no major twists and turns. She doesn't want them to worry about her, let alone Allow them to attribute the source of their worry to themselves.

As for her so-called stable period without too many ups and downs, that is, when her relationship with Yuan Jingrui can fully accept each other into their lives and make commitments, Dong Zhiwei feels that it should not come too soon.

The week after Chengfang's listing was Dong Zhiwei's holiday, and the roadshow attendants had a week's rest.Dong Zhiwei didn't plan to go back to work early, so Yuan Jingrui took her around.They went to some very interesting places, both at home and abroad. She also met Yin Feng. Yin Feng was still with the doctor. When he saw them appearing together, he immediately put on a serious face, and didn't care if she was beside him. , turned his face and said to Yuan Jingrui, "Are you really with her?" His tone was inconceivable.

The doctor kept a warm smile and said to Dong Zhiwei, "Don't pay attention to him, he is actually very happy to see you."

Dong Zhiwei smiled back at the doctor, although she didn't quite agree with his words.

She felt that she was probably the only one who was rude to Yin Feng, so it was not unreasonable for him to react so repulsively to her.

However, all these small troubles became insignificant when Dong Zhiwei found out that the photos of himself and Yuan Jingrui were secretly photographed when they were dating and spread to the whole world.

It was a few days late when she found out about this, because during the one-week vacation, she and Yuan Jingrui had been running around almost all the time, and the places they went to were all inaccessible places. The communication with the outside world became meaningless, and the phone calls almost It was a decoration, but she was woken up by Qi Dandan and Meili on the phone on the first morning back in Shanghai, and Yuan Jingrui was also woken up at the same time. Dong Zhiwei hugged her waist tightly when he sat up to answer the phone.

Qi Dandan was as excited as Mei Li, and Dong Zhiwei almost wanted to cover her ears to avoid their voices raised several heights because of their excitement. When she finally understood what they meant and turned on the computer, she saw the reports and photos. At that time, the only words left for her to describe her feelings were four-character idioms such as "a blank space" and "five thunders on the top".

Yuan Jingrui was fully awake, and he was very happy. He also commented on the slightly blurred photo on the website, "It's a good shot, you look so beautiful."

Dong Zhiwei expressed unprecedented anxiety, "How is this possible? How will others talk about me? How can I go back to work?"

Yuan Jingrui showed a slightly strange look, but he stopped the words that were on his lips, and did not say them immediately.

"I want to continue working." Dong Zhiwei said it very seriously as if he had seen through what he wanted to say.

"I know." He slowed down his expression and gave her a gentle look.

Yuan Jingrui felt that Dong Zhiwei had a very strong sense of self-esteem and self-protection, which made her unique. He had seen too many gold-worshiping girls, and every meal had to be rewarded, and everything was marked with a price , or have abnormal expectations for all luxury goods, he loves Dong Zhiwei, including her lovely self-esteem and self-protection awareness, but anything will become a little strange after being overdone, and Dong Zhiwei's self-esteem and self-protection awareness are no exception.

Yuan Jingrui felt that since she accepted him, it was only natural for her to accept the comfortable life he could bring her.He had the ability to make her live like a princess, and he'd tried to talk to her about it once, when he and she passed the latest spring windows that lined the streets of luxury.

Years later, it was the time when spring clothes were on the market, and the window was full of purples and reds. The soft leather bags were placed in conspicuous places and held in the hands of the models. Countless pairs of women's eyes were reflected on the window.

He grabbed her, "Do you like it? This one suits you very well."

Dong Zhiwei took a look at the price tag. It's not that she doesn't understand the price of luxury goods, but they are really too expensive. Every time Qi Dandan showed her the new bag she bought, she said, "It's so much money. , It’s too wasteful, there are still people starving to death in some parts of the world.”

Her concept of dressing is refreshing and comfortable, making herself comfortable and making others feel comfortable.As for the bag, if it can hold what she needs and is strong, that's enough.

But Yuan Jingrui obviously misunderstood what she meant, and even pushed her affectionately, "Go in and try."

He laughed like this, it was really hard for her to resist, but Dong Zhiwei held him back, "No more, I don't like these."

Afterwards, she said the same thing in front of the jewelry and watch window, which made Yuan Jingrui lose his temper, "Why not? I'll buy it for you."

"Why are you buying me something?"

"Are you unhappy when your boyfriend buys you something? Dong Zhiwei, are you still a woman?"

She smiled, and briskly avoided the oncoming pedestrian who was hurrying with his head bowed. If that person had raised his head, he would not have rushed so recklessly between a tall and stern-faced man and the girlfriend he was holding.

"I am, can't you see?"

He still had a straight face, "There is no woman who doesn't like gifts."

She thought about it, and answered him, "It's like this. Most women like gifts, and they want to prove that the person who gave the gift values ​​her and is willing to spend his time on her."

She used to talk to him in this tone in the past. After thinking about it, she was serious and serious, and she is also today, but it was a deliberate seriousness. He wanted to laugh, but he still kept a straight face. Prove that I value you and am willing to spend my time on you?"

He spoke like this, which made her have the urge to lean her forehead on his warm shoulders. Before that, although Yuan Jingrui liked to hug her from time to time while walking, she had always tried her best to stop it—— Even if she is not in a city she is familiar with, Dong Zhiwei doesn't accept the intimacy in full view.

But she controlled herself from making any intimate moves, and continued to maintain a serious expression and said, "Thank you, but since other women are eager for you to give her gifts, the more gifts the better, and the more expensive the better, then I It must not be possible.”

He showed a slightly strange expression, not knowing what she was going to say.

Dong Zhiwei blinked, "Then you will feel that I am different. Every night, you have to think, why is this woman so strange? Why is she different from others? That's why you must chase me."

The way she blinked and spoke was so eerie and weird, this was the Dong Zhiwei Yuan Jingrui had never seen before, she was so cute that she seemed to be luminous.He laughed, reached out and grabbed her, and in spite of her struggle, kissed her in the street.

He knew the real reason why she didn't accept his gift. Dong Zhiwei had her own insistence, but she explained it to him in such an intimate and cute way, which made him want to kiss her very much.

Moreover, Yuan Jingrui began to think seriously about making Dong Zhiwei a part of his life completely.

Especially on such a morning, when she got out of the messy bedding and said to him in a very serious tone next to him, "I want to work".

He thinks what she said is right. When a man faces such a special woman, he can only have one thought, that is, he must desperately keep her.

Dong Zhiwei was finally discovered, and Wan Wen was the first to notice her. She turned around and let out a short inhalation sound, which alarmed everyone.

The computer screen went dark with a snap, and everyone dispersed almost at the same time. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were incredulous, some were envious, some were jealous, but most of them were nervous, just like what they did just now It's something that's not allowed or at least not encouraged, and caught in the face by someone they don't want to see.

The staff of the administrative department hurried past their supervisor, who hadn't appeared for a long time, and the emotions shown on the faces of many people were covered by a cautious expression. Everyone greeted her, even Wan Wendu lowered his head slightly—this was unprecedented in the past.

Dong Zhiwei responded to each of them, trying her best to hide her upset. When she was away, Wanwen acted as her agent in the administration department. Fortunately, the rush of the beginning of the year had passed, and there were not many problems during this time. To deal with it, Wan Wen put the work memorandum during this period on her desk, and quickly exited. The regular meeting had already been held the day before she came back to work. No one talked to her, and the phone seemed to be out of order. Yes, not once.

Dong Zhiwei had nothing to do all morning, she tried her best not to look at those webpages that tried their best to exaggerate things - but the effect was very little, they made her feel dizzy.

Near noon, the door of the office was knocked suddenly, and it was Mei Li who walked in, and when the door was closed, she showed a triumphant expression to the outside.

Dong Zhiwei said unexpectedly, "Mei Li."

Meili showed her an incomparably bright smile, ran to her side in three steps at a time, bent down to look at her computer screen, and screamed exaggeratedly.

"Why do you still have the heart to read these!"

In fact, Dong Zhiwei just closed the webpage with her photo, leaving only the boring work memo on the screen, she blushed slightly, and said, "What's wrong?"

Meili almost screamed at her reaction, "What's wrong? Zhiwei, you just took down this city, no, the most expensive Wang Laowu in the Yangtze River Delta, and the whole Chengfang is talking about you, you actually asked What's wrong with me?"

Dong Zhiwei's face turned even redder, and he really wanted to cover Meili's mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense, we..."

"Who are you with?" Meili looked at her with a smile, enviously, "The boss likes you, I have already seen it, it's great, let's go to dinner together, and see who dares to stand behind you Gossiping, oh no, let them talk about it, everything is true, right." Mei Li winked at Dong Zhiwei when she said this, with a happy expression on her face.

"Do you think this is a good thing?" Dong Zhiwei couldn't figure it out.

"Of course." Mei Li looked at her in a fuss, "from now on, who would dare to look down on you? Who else would dare to be rude to you? Of course," she smacked her lips triumphantly, "as your friend, I Get some light too."

The phone rang right at this moment, and the ring interrupted the conversation between the two. Dong Zhiwei turned around, and it was the line on her desk that rang. She walked over to answer it. Meili held her breath, her eyes wide open. of.

Yuan Jingrui's voice came from the receiver, "Where are you?"

Mei Li was so excited that she clenched her hands into fists and raised them in front of her chest. She silently mouthed words to her and repeated, "Is it him? Is it him?"

Although Dong Zhiwei has always cherished Mei Li as a friend, but at this time she really wanted to have magic power to make her disappear temporarily.

"I am in the office."

"Have you eaten yet?" he asked her.

Dong Zhiwei glanced at Meili who was standing beside her again, "Not yet, but..."

Meili reacted quickly, she walked to the door while waving her hands to signal that she was about to leave, and finally raised two thumbs up to her, making a "come on" gesture, her face beaming with excitement, Like jumping up anytime.

"Hello?" Yuan Jingrui asked again before Dong Zhiwei could reply.

She looked helplessly at Meili's face disappearing outside the closed office door, and answered him, "Not yet, what about you?"

There was wind in the background on the other end of the phone, and she heard the familiar "ding" sound. He must be on the rooftop and lit a cigarette.

"I wanted to go out to eat with you, but something happened, can you come up?"

He spoke to her in a calm, unflappable voice, saying "something went wrong" as if he were saying "a little meeting this afternoon."

Her nerve called "doing every second of work to the best of my ability" was suspended, and she immediately responded, "Okay, what do I need to prepare?"

It took him a second to speak, probably because he took a puff of a cigarette, and he just said, "Go and buy some food, I'm hungry." With a little smile, kindly, it seemed like he was asking her for some What.

Dong Zhiwei took her wallet and hurried downstairs to look for food. There were still many people staring at her along the way, but she tried her best to ignore those gazes and whispers.

If this was the price she was going to pay for being with him, she had to remind herself to get used to it all.

Dong Zhiwei finally went up to the top floor with two heavy food boxes. The phone call came again, and the background sound changed to an empty place with the sound of water. Even with her eyes closed, she could guess that he went to the swimming pool on the top floor again.

Standing outside the glass door of the swimming pool, Lao Chen saw that Dong Zhiwei didn't show the slightest surprise, he just nodded and smiled at her, his eyes were kind and encouraging.

Dong Zhiwei still remembered the expression of disapproval on Lao Chen's face in the underground parking garage of the hotel last time, and his questioning of her—that was a questioning, asking her why she avoided Yuan Jingrui and why she didn't believe him.

She answered him categorically back then that Yuan Jingrui didn't like her, everything was a misunderstanding, but look now...

Dong Zhiwei felt that he had never blushed so frequently as recently.

There was no one by the pool, the water was splashing, Yuan Jingrui swam up to her from the other end, emerged from the water, and put his elbows on the edge of the pool to talk to her.

"You're here." He said simply, his hair and eyelashes dripping, and he smiled, showing his white teeth.

She squatted by the pool, wondering why she was so happy just looking at each other like this, and asked him, "Aren't you hungry? Still swimming."

He motioned her to step back a little, then jumped out of the water neatly, grabbed the towel that was thrown aside, and kissed her as he turned around, ignoring her soft protests.

Dong Zhiwei found helplessly that when she was around this man, words such as "don't be like this", "being seen" or "someone else will come in here" would become her mantra.

Yuan Jingrui dried himself off, put on a towel, took the food box from her hand, and said, "I want to find a quiet place to think about something."

There were tables and chairs by the swimming pool, so they sat down and ate together. Dong Zhiwei knew Yuan Jingrui's taste very well. This man is a legendary carnivore, and he eats all kinds of meat, because there are too many entertainments and banquets. I'm not interested in those kung fu dishes with expensive ingredients and complicated procedures. Home cooking is the best, and because I grew up in an alley like her when I was a child, I like to eat similar things, so it's good to feed.

She didn't know why she suddenly thought of the word "good to feed", as if Yuan Jingrui had become some kind of small animal she was responsible for, maybe it was because love made him smaller and easier in her eyes, Dong Zhiwei thought so, trying not to Let yourself think back to the past when you took care of another man so willingly.
