Chapter 46

Generally speaking, when hearing similar words, no matter whether the other party is polite or not, they will probably believe it and nod in agreement as if joking.

But Shu Mingfei frowned, showing puzzled eyes, and said, "No need?"

In her opinion, they are not friends who can treat guests, but just a relationship between customers for temporary transactions, so it is enough to meet during working hours, and the rest of the contacts are unnecessary.

She is not rare to take advantage of this.

Shen Chuze couldn't laugh anymore.

Even though most of the time he was not in a happy state of mind, but due to the habit of more than ten years, the muscle memory made him subconsciously move the corners of his mouth and evoked a smile.

Shu Mingfei took a sip of his coffee, looked at his smiling face, and said hesitantly, "Actually, you don't have to smile if you don't want to."

He was slightly taken aback.

"If you don't want to laugh...can you not laugh?"

His voice was very soft, as if he was asking her, but also as if he was muttering to himself.

In memory, Shu Mingfei seemed to be the first person to say such words to him.

His mother fell in love with Fu Yunxiu's father when he was young. At that time, Fu Yunxiu's father had already married his mother. The two belonged to a commercial marriage and had no relationship, but they were legal couples protected by the law anyway.

But his mother is still with her lover without hesitation, even if she can't see the light for a lifetime, she is willing.

When the love is strong, it is natural to be heartbroken, and you will not hesitate to do it, and you promise with [-]% sincerity.

But feelings cannot withstand comparison and temptation, let alone the test of interests.

How could a young, beautiful, and proud girl endure being an underground/love/person for a lifetime?

The real wife who has no relationship with him is respected and enjoys a life of luxury and good food. Her son has been trained as the heir of the group since he was a child and received the highest education.

But why?
Why is she a canary who can't see the light, and she wants to beg for pity on that man in exchange for pity?

Why should her son hide it, without even a basic status?

She once protested to that man, but he turned around and brought up the oath he made when he was young, and made her die.

So she focused all her attention on her son, seeing him as the only hope of turning over.

She forced him to learn the same things as Fu Yunxiu, ignored his wishes and hobbies, asked him to be better than Fu Yunxiu, and made him a more suitable heir to the group than Fu Yunxiu in the eyes of that man.

In her opinion, as long as her son can defeat Fu Yunxiu and become the leader of the group, then she will be able to count on her son, step on the so-called legal wife and her son, and never have to be jealous of anyone.

Those in positions of power should not show their emotions, so Shen Chuze developed the habit of using a smile to cover up his true emotions.

When he was a child, he was unwilling to live like his mother's puppet, so he was beaten every day, saying it was to punish him for his disobedience, but in fact he took the opportunity to vent the resentment in his heart on him.

Who made him so unlucky, but her son?
Even though his body was full of scars, old and new, she still struck harder each time.

Until he finally compromised, no matter how hard she beat her, he would not cry or scream, but smiled at her, making her panic.

When he grows up, women can't touch him anymore.

Instead, she needs to rely on him to get the man's gaze.

But habits can't be changed after all.

"Yeah, is there a reason you have to keep smiling all the time?"

Shu Mingfei didn't understand what he was thinking, in fact, she wanted to say it a long time ago, the way he obviously didn't want to smile but forced a smile...

It's not very pretty.

Shen Chuze thought seriously for a while, then asked abruptly: "You want to tell me that I hope I can be my true self when I'm in front of you?"

Shu Mingfei: "..."

No, it's because you smile so ugly that you don't want to poison your eyes.

She pretended not to hear what he said, and lowered her head to eat the cake.

Not long after, the timed alarm clock on the mobile phone rang, breaking the little tranquility between the two of them.

Shen Chuze frowned subconsciously, and his eyes locked on the mobile phone that was making harsh noises.

But to him the harsh noise, to Shu Mingfei it was a pleasant bell for getting off work.

After eating the last mouthful of mille-feuille cake and drinking the coffee in the cup, Shu Mingfei slowly got up, looked down at the young man who silently followed her movements with his eyes, and said lightly: "It's five o'clock, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, she turned and walked out of the coffee shop without hesitation, without looking back once.
-
She was rational enough to frighten him.

After today's contact, Shen Chuze clearly realized that the methods that he seemed to have tried a hundred times on other people were of no use to her.

She already regarded him as a prodigal son who lingered in the flowers, and thought that he liked Shu Mingya. If she knew that the A in his mouth was himself, she might shut him out of her heart.

Can't let her know about it.

This also meant that, at least until she fell in love with him, he couldn't tell her what they had been in contact with when they were young.

Listening to the piano music playing on the speaker, he barely restrained the restlessness in his heart.

In the room, he took a deep breath more than once, trying to calm his mind.

But the next second, the mobile phone on the table rang.

He didn't want to move, he didn't want to go and pick it up, he didn't want to communicate with anyone.

But the person on the other end of the phone was endless. After the phone was automatically hung up when no one answered, it rang again, and it rang for nearly 2 minutes.

very noisy.

The repeated ringtones seemed to be continuously amplified in his ears, gradually covering up the piano sound played in the speakers.

When will it ring?
So annoying.

Shen Chuze closed his eyes.

The repeated ringing seemed to turn into an impenetrable net in this closed room, enveloping him and swallowing him bit by bit.

Closing his eyes, he fell into the darkness, and the invisible net seemed to become a sharp needle again, trying to pierce his eardrum.

In a trance, his ears seemed to really hurt for a moment, which made him wake up suddenly, opened his eyes, and straightened his back reflexively.

As if he had compromised with his mother's violence countless times, he finally walked over to this annoying ringtone.

The moment he picked up the phone, he slowly raised his eyes, his eyes fell on the closed window, and the idea of ​​walking over to open the window and throwing it out of the window flashed through his mind.

The voice in his heart told him: Throw it down, and the annoying noise will disappear.

But when he saw the name displayed on the phone screen, he paused and picked it up.

 No prize quiz, who is calling?
