Chapter 11 Indecision
Cheng Jia was almost sleepless all night. She sat on the window sill and watched the neon lights flashing outside the window. She remembered what she had read somewhere: "In ordinary days, I suddenly met such a person. He changed your original trajectory. , It affects your desire to fall in love, and then to get acquainted, understand, and be together." This is probably the case with her and Li Ye.

Cheng Jia felt that Li Ye's liking was a bit paranoid. She always thought that Li Ye might be interested in her because of his novelty and curiosity, and his thoughts might change soon!

However, there is no doubt that Li Ye managed to stir her heart.

Li Ye gave her too strong a sense of oppression. In front of him, Cheng Jia felt that she was completely passive and had no ability to think. For the first time, she felt uncertain about the future.Want to give yourself a chance?Give yourself a chance to not be alone anymore!

Cheng Jia thinks of Gao Zhan, can he help her?Will it complicate things all of a sudden?
Cheng Jia didn't fall asleep until dawn, dreaming in a daze that it was about to rain, she looked around for a place to hide from the rain, when she heard the sound of bang bang bang, she rolled over and covered her head, the sound disappeared, followed by the sound of the phone ...

Cheng Jia sat up from the bed all at once, rubbed her hair vigorously, and answered the phone angrily.

"Cheng Jia!" Li Ye's voice came from the phone.

"Please, Mr. Li! Can you let me go! I want to sleep! I've been busy for a week!"

"I'm at the door, open the door!"

"No, let you come in and drink like crazy?"

"Let's go! It's raining outside!" Li Ye said softly.

Cheng Jia thought for a while, if she didn't open the door, Li Ye probably wouldn't leave.open the door?Open the door and let him into your life?
Cheng Jia sat there for about 10 minutes, when Li Ye knocked on the door again.She walked over and opened the door.

Li Ye looked at her, and she also looked at Li Ye!

This man, in charge of such a large company, is meticulous and vigorous in his work, so many people respect him when they see him.At this moment, he was standing opposite Cheng Jia, telling her domineeringly - "I like her", and not allowing her to escape, as if he was dealing with a job.

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia: she was wearing a fat pajamas, her hair was messy, and there was a big dark circle under her round eyes, she looked at herself with aggrieved eyes, innocent and cute.

Li Ye walked in and said to Cheng Jia, "Go on to sleep! I'll wait for you!"

Cheng Jia smiled helplessly: "You are so big standing here, how could I be able to sleep?"

"Cheng Jia, yesterday..." Li Ye hesitated to speak, and then seemed to muster up his courage: "I'm very sorry!"

Cheng Jia lowered her head and didn't know what to say, saying that he shouldn't kiss her?Obviously she accepted it too!

"Although I had a little drink, I knew what I was doing!"

"Stop talking! Didn't you have something to do with me today?" Cheng Jia interrupted him.

Li Ye seemed inspired, he smiled slightly: "Clean up first, let's go eat first!"

Cheng Jia nodded and walked into the bathroom.

It was drizzling outside, Cheng Jia and Li Ye were holding an umbrella, and Li Ye slowly wrapped his arms around Cheng Jia's waist.

Cheng Jia pursed her lips slightly, without any resistance.

They drove Li Ye's Land Rover to a nearby breakfast shop for breakfast.During the meal, Li Ye kept looking at Cheng Jia, and Cheng Jia was very uncomfortable: "Don't look at me like that? I don't even dare to eat!"

A smile was written on Li Ye's face: "Cheng Jia, I saw you thinking, when was the last time I ate alone with a girl? After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I can't remember who I ate with last time!"

Cheng Jia said quickly in a low voice: "Soon you will forget who I am!"

Li Ye said helplessly: "Cheng Jia, why do you think so? I think you don't seem to know how good you are! Good people can never forget it!"

"I heard that Mr. Li from Seven Stars is always a very strict person, vigorous and unsmiling, why is the Mr. Li in front of me completely different! - glib, reckless, unreasonable!" Cheng Jia said viciously.

Li Ye laughed loudly: "Cheng Jia, you should know that the appearance of work is only the appearance we have to show, and if I don't do this, I will wait until the year of the monkey with your polite but in fact repulsive appearance." Will make you look at me more."

Cheng Jia shrugged: "You're just a spoiled child who wants wind and rain. I'm your latest interesting toy. If I don't give it to you, you'll roll around and mess around. If you don't get it, you won't give up! But soon you'll lose interest..."

She looks lonely, so what will she do then?

"Cheng Jia! You shouldn't think like this! First of all, you underestimated yourself, and second, you misunderstood me. I didn't want to be successful. I had to work a thousand times and a hundred times to match what I had. I studied at Oxford. , After returning to China, I worked hard all the way from the grassroots level. The only difference is that my path is ready-made, and I don’t need to go all over again, but this does not mean that I can walk slowly! After so many years, I am actually very lonely. When I saw you, I suddenly felt like I saw another self. I really want to walk with you, and I want to protect you from the wind and rain, because I know you are just as lonely!"

Cheng Jia stared at Li Ye in a daze, unable to speak.Li Ye went on to say: "I won't ask you to respond to me immediately, but don't reject me anymore, don't you see that we are doing well now?"

After speaking, he opened his mouth and bit the bun in Cheng Jia's hand.Cheng Jia was taken aback and smiled helplessly.

After breakfast, Li Ye drove Cheng Jia to the cinema, and Cheng Jia asked him, "Why are you here?"

"Shouldn't you come here for a date?" Li Ye replied.

"Okay!" Cheng Jia smiled.

The result - no business hours!
Li Ye was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Cheng Jia. I almost never watch movies!"

Cheng Jia couldn't help laughing: "Don't be embarrassed, I don't know much either!"

"You don't watch movies either?"

"I always watch TV at home, but actually I seldom watch TV!" Cheng Jia smiled sweetly.

When they came out of the theater, the rain had stopped.

"Let's go!" Cheng Jia said.Li Ye nodded.

They walked side by side on the road.

The air after the rain is very fresh, and the sycamore leaves on the roadside are washed green by the rain.Li Ye gently held Cheng Jia's hand.

Cheng Jia was a little ashamed.

Li Ye looked at the sycamore tree and said to Cheng Jia: "Chiang Kai-shek is also a passionate person. He actually planted a whole city of sycamore trees because of his wife's words! Now things have changed, and only sycamore trees are left!"

Cheng Jia said: "Looking at it this way, Nanjing is still a romantic city!"

Li Ye held Cheng Jia's soft hand, feeling very satisfied in his heart, he said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I walked by like this!"

"Then what do you usually do?" Cheng Jia asked.

"Work! I am work!" Li Ye said.

"Can I watch movies now?" Li Ye looked at the time and Cheng Jia smiled.He said excitedly, "Then let's go to see what the movie looks like, shall we?"

Cheng Jia nodded.

They sat in the theater only to realize that other couples were holding drinks and snacks, only they didn't buy anything, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Li Ye approached Cheng Jia: "Did I perform too badly today!"

Cheng Jia smiled. Against the background of the screen, her eyebrows and eyes were clear and bright. Li Ye was a little intoxicated watching it. In the dark, he held Cheng Jia's hand in his palm...

At noon, Li Ye took Cheng Jia to an antique restaurant in Confucius Temple.All the dishes in the restaurant are served in small bowls and small butterflies, but the amount is only one bite.Li Ye said that this is so that the guests can taste more special snacks, and in the end they ate dozens of bowls in one meal.

During the meal, a foreign boy wanted to take a photo with Cheng Jia.Li Ye fiercely wanted to refuse, but Cheng Jia happily agreed.

The foreign boy was holding a selfie stick in one hand, and was about to wrap his arms around Cheng Jia's shoulders with the other, when he realized that Li Ye was also standing in the camera, hugging Cheng Jia domineeringly.

The foreign boy shook his head, thanked Cheng Jia after taking the photo, then blinked at Li Ye and walked away.

"From now on, don't take photos with others casually!" Li Ye said sourly.

Cheng Jia smiled slightly: "Okay! Mr. Li!"...

After dinner, Li Ye said to Cheng Jia: "How about going to my company in the afternoon? I don't want to be separated from you, but there is still work to be done!" His expression was sincere.

Cheng Jia nodded.

Everyone in the company is on weekends, and the office is empty.Li Ye took Cheng Jia to the innermost general manager's office on the 22nd floor. Cheng Jia looked at Li Ye with wide eyes and asked him, "The meeting room last time was your office!"

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia tenderly: "That's my special meeting room!"

Cheng Jia said, "No wonder those two engineers were so nervous!"

Li Ye smiled and led Cheng Jia to open the door in front of the conference room.

Li Ye's office is very large. In front of a row of floor-to-ceiling bookcases is his desk, and in front of it is the reception area.There is another door in front of the reception area, "I guess it leads to the meeting room!"—Cheng Jia thought.

Unlike the modernity of Gao Zhan's office, Li Ye's here is more traditional.Li Ye asked Cheng Jia to choose books on the bookcase by himself. He turned on the computer and replied to the email.

Cheng Jia chose a book called "A Pilgrimage" and read it intently. She raised her head and looked at Li Ye: Li Ye's slender and fair hand was placed on the mouse, and the blood vessels on his hand were very thick—clearly visible. The person exercising, with a silver watch on his wrist, staring at the computer with full concentration... Cheng Jia thought: It is said that men who work hard are the most handsome!It seems so!
Li Ye suddenly said, "Are you peeking at me?"

"No! I'm reading it openly!" Then she lowered her head and continued reading.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on Cheng Jia's body. The office was quiet, and occasionally she could hear the sound of typing on the keyboard. Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She hardly slept yesterday, but now she was extremely sleepy and fell into a deep sleep up.

After replying to the email, Li Ye reviewed the fund application of his subsidiary company, and looked up at the sleeping Cheng Jia.

"It's said that the golden house hides the beauty. Cheng Jia is suddenly hidden in his office, and he feels angry immediately."

Li Ye walked gently to Cheng Jia's side, sat down carefully, and slowly hugged Cheng Jia in his arms. He smiled and looked at her fan-like eyelashes, and leaned on the sofa contentedly.

"Finally, you are mine!" He thought as he fell asleep smiling.

When Cheng Jia woke up, it was already dark, and she found herself curled up on Li Ye's chest, she was slightly taken aback.Li Ye looked at her tenderly: "Are you awake?"

Cheng Jia sat up: "How long have I been asleep?"

Li Ye looked at the time, "Five or six hours! Still snoring!"

"How is it possible? I don't snore when I sleep!"

Li Ye curled his mouth: "Really?"

Cheng Jia looked at the dimly lit room and said, "Let's go! It's too late!"

Li Ye hugged Cheng Jia gently, and said in a low voice, "Wait a little longer!"

Cheng Jia wanted to sit upright, but Li Ye exerted his arms slightly: "Cheng Jia, don't move! Let me hug you for a while!"

Cheng Jia suddenly became uneasy, Li Ye buried his face on her shoulder, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and said in a very low voice, "Cheng Jia, can we stay like this forever?"

Cheng Jia said: "Not good! It's dark and empty here!"

"With me, what are you afraid of?"

"With you, it's even scarier!"

"Where is it scary?"

"What do you think? Let's go!" Cheng Jia said anxiously.

Li Ye felt her anxiety and let go of Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia stood up immediately, and Li Ye took her hand and walked out of the dark office.

They had a simple dinner, and Li Ye sent Cheng Jia home.When Cheng Jia walked downstairs, she asked Li Ye to go back.

"I'm already here! Drive slowly!"

"I have to send you into the house before I leave!" Li Ye said.

He gently held Cheng Jia's hand, Cheng Jia's hand was soft and soft...

At the door, Cheng Jia said to Li Ye: "Are you relieved this time?"

Li Ye still refused to let go, he squeezed Cheng Jia into a corner, and put his other arm around her back.Say in a voice only the two of them can hear, "So you want me to leave?"

Cheng Jia's face was hot, and she was nervous and incoherent: "I... think you can go back to rest early!"

Li Ye raised her face with his hands, lowered his head and kissed her...
