half water half salt

Chapter 10
Li Ye kept his promise, and delivered a bouquet of roses to the company on time at ten o'clock every day.Every time Cheng Jia collects flowers, she has no expression on her face. She coldly takes them and puts them in a corner. After get off work, she secretly throws them away. She has thrown away the flowers for nearly a month.

As October approached, many construction sites in the north had already stopped work, and Cheng Jia's work rhythm became less intense.

Gao Zhan was still the same, with a calm and relaxed look, but he suddenly ordered Manager Wu to cover all the balconies on the first floor with carpets, and also decorated them, arranged sofas and coffee tables, and set up a drink bar—so Cheng Jia I often see him receiving guests on the first floor!
Cheng Jia likes the layout of the balcony on the first floor very much. After get off work, she would come here to water the flowers, loosen the soil, and occasionally read a book on the sofa cross-legged.

When Cheng Jia was reading there, Gao Zhan was watching her on the second floor.He didn't turn on the light, drank tea quietly by himself, watched Cheng Jia until she left, heard her close the door, and then the sound of high heels...

Li Ye occasionally called, and Cheng Jia politely declined all his invitations.From time to time, he went to the company or downstairs of her house to wait for her, always making Cheng Jia blush and heartbeat with his hands and feet.Therefore, she tried to avoid meeting Li Ye as much as possible.Apart from the company, Li Ye did not hide anything about chasing her outside, it seemed like he was declaring his territory.

Gradually, although Cheng Jia resisted, she felt a little vain in her heart.After all, Li Ye is too good!
Cheng Jia couldn't help asking Gao Zhan: "You asked me to pay attention to the notarization contract last time, what happened?"

Gao Zhan stared at her for a moment, and said, "It's Mr. Zhang who I told you to be careful! Mr. Zhang's current lawsuit is not settled yet, it's all about economics..."

He faintly felt Cheng Jia's attention to Li Ye, which made him uneasy.

And Cheng Jia didn't know why, but felt relieved!On the surface, Li Ye didn't have any problems.

The days passed peacefully like this, and more than half a month passed in a flash.

It was another Friday, and Cheng Jia was reviewing the contract in her office; the women in the company were whispering, occasionally there were a few smiles, or people walking by in twos and threes...

There was a "ding dong" on the door, and the assistants at the reception desk said in unison: "Hello!"

After a moment of silence, Cheng Jia frowned and raised her head in doubt. A large bouquet of fiery red roses stood at her door. Li Ye was dressed in formal attire, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.Cheng Jia took a deep breath, her heart was so frightened that she forgot to beat—it was delivered by herself today! .

"Mr. Li!"

"How are you doing these days?" Li Ye's eyes were full of careful tenderness, and the surrounding sunlight seemed to be gentle.

"It's okay!" Cheng Jia blushed unknowingly.

Li Ye stepped in, closed the door casually, and blocked the probing eyes from outside.He walked up to Cheng Jia and handed the flowers: "For you!"

Cheng Jia took it: "Thank you! Sit down!"

She put the flowers aside, poured a glass of water for Li Ye, and sat down somewhat awkwardly.

"Have you handed over our company's project to someone else?" Li Ye said.

"Generally everything is determined in principle, and the rest will be more convenient for them to operate!" Cheng Jia replied.

"Oh! I thought you were hiding from me on purpose!" Li Ye stood up and looked at Cheng Jia with a half-smile and a wanton look on her face.

Cheng Jia's eyes rolled a few times quickly, and her lips parted slightly. She tried her best to hide her panic, and looked up at Li Ye: "I..."

Suddenly Li Ye picked her up, supported her head, and kissed her deeply.

Li Ye's sudden kiss caught Cheng Jia by surprise like a storm, her mind went blank, she forgot what to do... Li Ye's kiss gradually changed from crazy to gentle, and finally stopped, he put his head against Cheng Jia's forehead, eyes shining like stars, said very gently: "I miss you very much!"

Cheng Jia's face was pale and trembling. She pushed Li Ye away, gasping for breath: "Li Ye! You are too much!"

Li Ye put his hand on Cheng Jia's lips and said in a low voice: "Shhh, people will hear you!" Then he stroked her soft lips and said to Cheng Jia in a soft voice that could pinch water: " remember!"

Cheng Jia was anxious and annoyed. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Li Ye grabbed her: "You can't hide, Cheng Jia! You are destined to belong to me!" Then he kissed Cheng Jia's hand lightly.

Cheng Jia pulled it out forcefully, panting heavily.

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia with burning eyes.

"I'll look for you again!" After finishing speaking, he gently wiped off the lipstick on his mouth, turned around and went out - the door closed behind him.

Cheng Jia suddenly slumped on the chair, feeling like a deer ran into her heart.Li Ye, how could he kiss her?What else would this person do? ...

She was afraid, she had never met anyone like Li Ye in her life.She sat for a while, but still couldn't calm down. She looked at the time, stood up and walked to the door, stood still, turned around to pick up her bag, and walked out quickly.

"I'm going out to do something!" Cheng Jia said to the assistant at the reception desk, and fled without looking back.

Li Ye walked up to Gao Zhan's office on the second floor. Gao Zhan, who was on the phone, was briefly surprised when he saw Li Ye knocking on the door and entering.He stood up and held out his hand to Li Ye: "President Li! Please sit down..." Then he immediately took out a cup, poured him tea, and said, "The tea I just brewed, you came just in time!"

Li Ye smiled gently: "I passed by here, so I came up to bother you!"

Gao Zhan's eyelids were slightly heavy, and his expression was calm: "Look at what you said, of course we are coming! Let's have lunch together!" After speaking, he called Cheng Jia, but no one answered the phone.

Gao Zhan said to himself, "Is Cheng Jia here?"

He called Cheng Jia's mobile phone, but when he was about to connect, he hung up and called Manager Wu instead: "Xiao Wu! Book a private room for me at noon, about five people... Where did Cheng Jia go?"

Li Ye drank tea as if nothing had happened, and smiled slightly when he heard that Cheng Jia had gone out...

"I brought some bottles of good wine, tomorrow weekend, let's have a good drink today!" Li Ye said.

Gao Zhan laughed loudly: "Good!"

At noon, Cheng Jia ran home to make a bowl of instant noodles, tossing and turning, but did not fall asleep for a nap.She doesn't want to see Li Ye anymore!Thinking of his kiss, Cheng Jia burned from head to toe, and felt like dozens of ants were crawling in her heart: there was a bit of embarrassing pain, and there was also a little bit of numbness...

Cheng Jia didn't go to work in the afternoon, she was restless at home!I ate a simple dinner and went to bed early.

Throughout the weekend, Cheng Jia was restless and preoccupied. She went to the bookstore, went to Xinjiekou to eat snacks, and then slept at home--when she fell asleep, she would stop thinking about it: Li Ye really likes herself ?Still having fun?
When going to work on Monday, Cheng Jia deliberately dressed herself up in a lively way, tied up a high ponytail, and then braided the ponytail into a braid.She put on very light makeup, and also wore a necklace that she bought and hasn't worn for a long time...

When Gao Zhan saw Cheng Jia, his eyes lit up.He raised the corners of his mouth: "I haven't seen you for two days, you look radiant, and you've become a little girl!"

Cheng Jia said very seriously: "Yes, Mr. Gao, eat well and sleep well for two days, and after yesterday's calculation, it will be full!" She rounded her eyes mischievously: "Eleventh is approaching! Can the leader give me approval in advance? Take a vacation! I will tell you my secret, so that you will be young instantly!"

Gao Zhan couldn't help laughing, in private, Li Chengjia was more like a child in front of him!

"It's okay to take a vacation!"

Cheng Jia nodded exaggeratedly and beamed with joy.

Gao Zhan continued: "However, I would like to organize a company group event for two days!"

Cheng Jia immediately became interested: "Will you be reimbursed in full?"

"Full reimbursement!"

"Well, do you have a plan on where to go?"

Gao Zhan looked at her happily: "Mr. Cheng is the master!"

Cheng Jia replied briskly: "Okay! No problem!" She went downstairs happily.

Usually, Li Ye's flowers were almost delivered at this time, but not today, not at eleven o'clock, not even after get off work!

The women in the office discussed in private: "Rich people, just play around, it's only been a few days?"

"I guess I got it! It's boring!"

……

Although Cheng Jia couldn't hear it clearly, she could feel the strangeness from the way everyone looked at her.

She sat on a chair thinking about Li Ye, did he give up?So give up!Is this the sincere "sincerity" he said at the time?It's okay to give up!

For several days, Li Ye did not send flowers.Every day at ten o'clock, Cheng Jia would unconsciously check the time.The picture of Li Ye kissing her kept popping up that day, and she told herself over and over again: "Don't take his words seriously!"

Because everyone didn't want to take up the holiday time, Cheng Jia finally decided on the group activity time next Monday, the destination - Jilong Mountain.Cheng Jia thought that she would take this opportunity to relax and forget about the recent mess.

On Friday, Gao Zhan also asked Cheng Jia to help him wear protective gear, and everyone in the company was in high spirits.

Cheng Jia got off work early, and she wanted to go home and change into a set of convenient clothes to buy protective gear for Gao Zhan.When walking home, she kept thinking about where there would be a specialty store nearby, but she didn't notice a white Land Rover parked in the parking lot.

Walking upstairs, she took out the key and was about to open the door.

Suddenly, "Cheng Jia!" made her jump up in fright. She covered her chest and took a closer look—it was Li Ye!

There was a flash of surprise in Cheng Jia's eyes, which immediately turned into anger: "Are you going to scare me to death? Why did you come up here?"

Li Ye didn't show any of Cheng Jia's expressions, put his hands on the wall, and said lazily, "Do you miss me?"

Cheng Jia smelled alcohol on him, she was very nervous! "you've been drinking?"

Li Ye smiled lazily: "What are you afraid of?" Then he approached Cheng Jia and continued, ""My sister went to XZ to play, and my aunt asked me to come over for dinner. In fact, she asked me to help check her precious daughter's itinerary.I miss you, I feel uncomfortable, so I drank two glasses by myself! "

"Cheng Jia! Give me a glass of water! This wine has a lot of stamina," Li Ye made a distressed expression.

"You can't come in! I'll get it for you!" Cheng Jia said firmly.

Li Ye nodded obediently!

When Cheng Jia took out the key and opened the door, he squeezed in with a smirk on his face, and sat down on the sofa.

"Cheng Jia, my sister keeps asking me why you don't go? Ask me if you are my girlfriend? Guess what I said?"

Cheng Jia stood at the door, very annoyed! "How much alcohol did you drink? I'll call your driver!"

Li Ye stood up and took a few steps to prove that he didn't drink too much, then smiled: "Two or three glasses!"

Cheng Jia glared at him, went into the room to change his shoes, and poured water for him!

"Guess what I said?" Li Ye asked repeatedly.

"I don't want to know!" Cheng Jia remained expressionless.

"I said, yes, it's my girlfriend, she's playing hide and seek with me!"

Cheng Jia put the water on the coffee table: "President Li, you are drunk!"

Li Ye sat on the sofa and looked at Cheng Jia obsessively: "Do you miss me?"

Cheng Jia said: "Li Ye! Don't tease me! I worked very hard to get my current job, and I have to spend a lot of effort to maintain my image. It's really not good for you to do this!"

"How am I?"

"You said you like me, so you send me flowers every day, so that everyone knows! Then..."

Cheng Jia was at a loss for words and didn't know how to speak. She continued angrily, "The whole company is talking about me. Have you ever thought about me?" Looking at Li Ye.

Li Ye smiled happily: "You care, Cheng Jia! I can feel it!"

He reached out and pulled Cheng Jia into his arms, and Cheng Jia fell on top of him, her body was tightly held by Li Ye's arms.

"You little goblin! I've endured for so many days just to see what you look like today!" Li Ye panted heavily, and then said, "Don't run away, don't hold back because of fear, okay?"

Cheng Jia tried to twist Li Ye's body a few times, but couldn't break free.She said angrily, "I really shouldn't have let you in!"

Li Ye turned over and held her down, putting his face close to hers: "Admit it! You like me too!" Then he got closer little by little, and Cheng Jia shouted anxiously: "Li Ye, let me go! You It can't be like this, we have something to talk about..."

Li Ye's lips gently covered hers, and through the alcohol, he wanted to feel her softness, and her unique fragrance came from his nose, he first touched it lightly, then rolled and sucked passionately...

Cheng Jia was completely stunned. She was so frightened that she remained motionless and let Li Ye dominate...

When Li Ye was about to lose control, he left Cheng Jia's lips, and said softly but firmly, "From now on, you are my girlfriend!"

Cheng Jia stood up in embarrassment, and said loudly, "Li Ye, are you a rascal?"

"Whatever you say! I won't accompany you around in circles. It's late today and I drank too much. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!"

Cheng Jia looked at Li Ye with inexplicable eyes: "I have something to do tomorrow!"

"If you dare to escape! I have plenty of ways to find you! Where can you go?"

Li Ye stared at Cheng Jia: "Cheng Jia! You have nowhere to escape!"

"No! Li Ye, we are wrong, I am not ready yet..."

"I'll help you prepare!"

Cheng Jia was stunned!

"I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Li Ye kissed Cheng Jia's face and left without looking back.

Cheng Jia stood where she was, her heart was beating violently, as if she didn't want to stay inside anymore.She should be angry, why is she a little happy instead?
