A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 47 Extra Story: Love Without Wisdom (3)
Bai Xi started to leave early and return late.He works alone in the living room, warms her milk, and sometimes prepares supper.When she came back, she always looked tired, and he didn't ask anything. He watched her obediently drink the milk and go upstairs, but his heart jumped like a high school student, because in this small world... there were only the two of them.

It seldom rains in Feihai this season, but it happened to be a rainy night. Shen Qinjun was sending an email to his secretary, but he wondered absently whether he should call Bai Xi to pick her up.

There was a bang on the door.

Opening it, it was Qin Mou whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

He felt a little disgusted in his heart, and only asked, "What are you doing here?"

This time, she came prepared, and there was a desperate look in her eyes.

She didn't greet him, in the damp and slightly cool wind, she said: "Do you know how your parents died?"

He frowned, feeling a little caught off guard, "What?"

"Su Xiangyang killed them, will you still treat Bai Xi as a treasure?" She didn't hold an umbrella, she just stood like this, her hair was dripping water, but under her slender and beautiful figure, her eyes were shining Inexplicably bright and pleasant.

After all, Shen Qinjun let her into the house, and said in a deep voice, "You better not be lying to me."

"Do you know that my parents used to be employees of Roewe? Do you know why my family moved after Bai Xi was sent away?" She paused, "You know... when I first entered the showbiz, When I told my parents that I wanted to ask you for help, how fiercely did they object?"

"Because they've been afraid that once the Shen family finds out what happened back then, you don't know how to retaliate." With trembling hands, she took out a stack of letter papers from her bag, "Look for yourself."

The letter was placed on the table, but Shen Qinjun didn't bend over to get it, but just looked at her fixedly.

"Why do this?"

"You've already believed half of it in your heart, right?" She pursed the corners of her pretty lips, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes were full of spring, "Shen Qinjun, I tried my best to get close to you, and I didn't get engaged because I wanted to be the most popular The star of yours is... I want to be with you." She panted lightly, her eyes flashed with bitterness and joy, "I can accept you being with anyone, except Su Yan."

Shen Qinjun didn't seem to hear it, but calmly picked up the stack of letters. The paper inside had turned yellow, and the pen and ink had faded a little. He read it carefully.

Time passed by, and the figure was pulled by the light of the floor lamp and cast on the ground, like the lines of a sketch.

Qin Mu gradually became a little uneasy, and his body moved slightly.

He looked up, "I see."

Such a response obviously did not satisfy Qin Mou, she stared at him, waiting for his second sentence.

His face was ugly, almost ashen, but in the end, he didn't say a second word.

"What are you going to do?" she asked defiantly.

Shen Qinjun just stood up, opened the door, and the sound of rain pattered, "You go."

She stood there resolutely.

"I'll check it out." He stood up straight, with half of the shadow looming, and couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger. "If it's fake, you know the consequences."

"I'll wait and see." She smiled slightly.

"But even if it wasn't her, it wouldn't be anyone." Looking at her back, he finally said lightly.

Qin Mu stopped in panic.

If it wasn't her, it wouldn't be anyone... oh, anyone, not even a single "you".The high-heeled shoes staggered on the slippery ground, but she stabilized quickly, and when she walked forward step by step, she couldn't tell whether it was pleasure or pain at the moment.

That night, Shen Qinjun didn't wait for Bai Xi to come back. He went to the office to contact foreign friends, and helped to retrieve Su Xiangyang's experimental data back then. He said "the sooner the better", so the answer he got was that it would take about five or six hours .

He was alone in the office, everything was quiet, and he was not in the mood to deal with the mountain-like piles of official duties, but he just thought over and over whether it was true or not.In fact, the balance in his heart has been inclined to believe, because the details of the group involved in the letter are all in line with what he knows.He closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the seat, probably because he was too tired, he fell asleep.

In the end, I was really awakened. The dream was very, very hot. It was so hot that dark red molten steel was pouring down everywhere. The two figures below disappeared in an instant, and only screams remained...

He was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and it took a long time before he remembered where this was and what he was doing.

The email reminder flashed on the computer screen, and he opened it quickly, but when he really wanted to download the file, he hesitated.He once thought that there was nothing in this world that he dared not face, but now, staring blankly at the document, his fingertips were just hanging in the air.

There was the first ray of light outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind, and after the rain last night, it was another excellent weather.

Shen Qinjun rubbed his brows, and finally nodded.

It is not difficult to find the data in those reports. His eyes fell on the last line, and the reporter's name was very clearly signed.Shen Qinjun opened the letter left by Qin Mou again, resisting the dizziness for a moment, and checked it again.

He didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

I just thought of the parents I had never met before, and when Su Xiangyang appeared, the tall man who gave me a sense of security instantly overlapped with the image of my imaginary father... He likes Uncle Su and Aunt Su, I like to visit their house as a guest, and even sleep in their house when my grandfather is away. Although their little daughter is a bit delicate, she is also cute...

From the time he could remember to the time when Uncle Su and Aunt Su died in a car accident, in those few years, he truly regarded that family as his relatives.Now, he knew that the reason they were so kind to him and devoted themselves to Rongwei was...he killed his parents.

If there is such a thing as fate in this world, this fate must be tantamount to absurdity.

His parents died so badly that there were almost no bones left, but the person he cared about the most in his life was Bai Xi.

The secretary came in after lightly knocking on the door, with a formulaic smile on his lips, "Mr. Shen, didn't you go back last night?"

There was a strong smell of cigarettes in the office. She had been with Shen Qinjun for so long, but she never knew that he was so addicted to cigarettes.Suddenly seeing Shen Qinjun who raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was so ugly that he was startled, "It's all right, are you all right?"

He didn't speak, and obviously didn't want to.

The secretary walked to the door tactfully, but before leaving, he had to say: "Mr. Shen, when are you going to contact Ms. Su Yan to discuss the shares?"

His face was expressionless, and when he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that even he was startled, "I see."

Shares... Heh, shouldn't all the shares rewarded to Su Xiangyang by the group be returned?
Almost instantly, Shen Qinjun knew that his thinking frequency had shifted to the side of a cold businessman. Leaving aside his personal feelings, Bai Xi's thoughts were not difficult to guess. It is impossible to betray yourself.

This sudden confidence stunned him for a moment, then he stood up calmly, went into the lounge, washed his face, changed his clothes, and worked normally according to the itinerary given by the secretary.

For the next few days, he spent the night in the office.

On the eve of the shareholders' meeting, Shen Qinjun received a call from a stranger.

He had heard that girl's name several times. She was Bai Xi's good friend and a lawyer.

He didn't know why she came looking for him late at night, but he still ordered the security to bring her up.

The little girl also had the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. She put a stack of documents in front of him and said, "I have finished the equity transfer contract. Mr. Shen, please sign it."

He was startled.

"Bai Xi is a silly girl, you...you have to treat her better." She sat down across from him carelessly, and compared a number, "Gao Qi gave her this amount of transfer fee, and she still has to do this .”

"Have you guys been stalling with him?" He said slowly, "These days."

"Yes." Xu Zhuo pushed the document towards him again, "Here, I delivered the things. Bai Xi also asked me to tell you that if you don't want to sign, she also signed a power of attorney for you. Can exercise decision-making power for her."

She yawned, "We haven't slept for several days, there's nothing else to do, I'm leaving first."

The little girl left like a gust of wind, Shen Qinjun opened the stack of documents, Party A had already signed his name on the column, and also pressed his fingerprints, leaving a blank Party B, waiting for his signature.

He signed the assignment.

When writing, he told himself over and over again that there was nothing to be moved, because these were his.

Everything went smoothly afterwards, but Shen Qinjun knew that he would not contact Bai Xi again.

It's not that I didn't think of going to talk to her, but what would I say when I saw her?

Just say that her father killed her parents, and she killed her parents?

He forced himself to work and rest regularly every day, work hard, play ball at night, go to bed at twelve o'clock, and fell on the bed exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep.

The moonlight outside the window was so good, he thought, if her parents hadn't died back then, Su Xiangyang would still be a competitor of Rongwei now, and she would grow up carefree.Maybe they will meet each other on some occasions, because of the relationship between each other's parents, there is still some hostility, and nothing will happen if they deal with it politely.

That's great.

But that's not the case.

Two days later, Mo Jiaming invited him to play golf and drink tea. On the way, he got a call and said, "Mai Zhendong wants to bring someone over."

He almost immediately guessed who Mai Zhendong was bringing.

On the day when the shareholders' meeting ended, Mai Zhendong came to the company to pick up the old man, and met Shen Qinjun and casually asked about Bai Xi's recent situation.He just said, "I don't know."

Mai Zhendong's expression changed immediately, if it wasn't for the presence of elders, he would almost raise his voice to question him.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Bai Xi is optional.Presumably this time, Mai Zhendong brought her here to relax.

Shen Qinjun loosened the collar of his shirt, held the small teacup with his fingertips, stood up, walked to the window, and made a phone call.

Qin Mou was shooting commercials nearby, with gorgeous makeup, and was always on call, really a good companion.

He took her into a separate room to pick out jewelry, she pursed her lips, her eyes flicked over those shiny ornaments, "Are you giving it to me?"

"Thank you for helping me see someone clearly." He kept his expression on, knowing that she was downstairs, and felt his heart beating fast and astringent.

She picked two or three items without changing her expression, and smiled half-smile, "I'm ready, how about you?"

She took his arm and walked swayingly step by step.

When he opened the door and entered, she whispered something in his ear, but Shen Qinjun didn't hear it clearly, he only saw Bai Xi who tilted his head and was joking with Mai Zhendong, because he heard the movement, he turned his head and saw himself, His face was full of disbelief.

He forced himself to focus all his attention on the conversation with Mo Jiaming, and with great self-control, he finally finished those few farewell words fluently.

When he reached the door, he withdrew his hand from hers in disgust, and raised his jaw slightly, "Miss Qin, this is probably the last time I see you."

There was always an inexplicable smile on the corner of her lips, without saying a word.

He turned around and left, walking calmly and calmly, but he knew in his heart that he was retreating in a panic.

Because he really didn't know how to face her alone.

That day Bai Xi started calling him.At that time, he was also on his way back to Feihai, and the phone rang for a long time, until the assistant gave him a careful look, and quickly looked away.

He couldn't turn his phone to silent like he did to others, but the sound was like torture, and he finally blacklisted all her messages.

The moment the setting was successful, he knew in his heart that he personally cut off the chance to explain to her.

Later, Bai Xi called Xiao Xie again, and Xiao Xie looked at him from the rearview mirror, and he shook his head slightly.

"Mr. Shen, where are you going back?"

Xiao Xie asked him softly.

The young man in the back seat kept looking out of the window until he came back to his senses and subconsciously said, "Huashan Road."

He still kept the key of the house, hesitating at the door for a long time, it was getting deeper and heavier, and finally went in.

Bai Xi's shoes were placed at the door, but the second floor was pitch black, so she should have fallen asleep.

He didn't turn on the light, just relying on his memory, he walked gently to the door of her bedroom, leaned against the door to listen carefully to the movement inside, and then gently pushed open a gap, under the bright moonlight of this night, she lay quietly , facing himself sideways, sleeping peacefully.

Now that a decision has been made, what's the point of getting closer now?
But the movements of her limbs were uncontrollable, she walked over gently, leaned over, and gently touched her cheek, and...the obviously red and swollen eyes.

She moved uneasily and murmured something in her mouth. Like a child, she would sigh in her sleep.

The touch of his fingertips was so warm that he greedily wanted to get closer, but he woke up suddenly.

Shen Qinjun, do you dare to face her like this only when she is asleep?

She will wake up eventually, this is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison.

In the end, he was cruel and left quietly.

When the assistant left the car, he sat in the driver's seat and didn't know where to go for a while.

go home?His home is here, but he chose to walk out.

back office?But that building was deserted, and he was really the only one there.

Shen Qinjun raised the corners of his lips sarcastically. Everyone thought he was lucky, but he was the only one who knew that fate never treated him so easily.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already dawn. He saw Bai Xi running out in a hurry, stopped a car at the intersection, and subconsciously followed her. He was a little surprised to see her walking downstairs in the Rongwei Building. Car, into a coffee shop.

It was to find himself.

She has always been so stubborn and frank.

He turned a corner in silence, and drove the car into the underground garage through the back door.There was no one in the company so early, so he took a shower in the office, changed his clothes, stood behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at the street downstairs.

Now is the time to go to work, and she... probably still waits foolishly.

Shen Qinjun turned around impetuously. He originally planned to ask the secretary to bring coffee in, but after a second thought, he asked the driver to go down to the underground garage.

"Mr. Shen, where are you going?"

"Go around and park the car on the corner."

The driver was clearly confused, but complied.

Before he opened the door and got out of the car, he took a deep breath and walked into the coffee shop.

If there is no way to tell her that much, then at least let her know that he is determined to end it.

He walked over step by step, the smile on his mouth was calm, but his heart was so stagnant: Bai Xi, I'm sorry...it turns out that I am much more cowardly than I imagined.

Before Bai Xi left Feihai for Swaya, the last time he saw her, she already knew everything.

At that time when he arrived at his home on Huashan Road, she had already moved her things and left, and the house was empty, without the warmth of those few days when they lived under the same roof.Shen Qinjun suddenly saw the eye-catching bright red spread on the tablecloth.The nerve in the forehead twitched, and with a bang, he only felt that he was about to explode.

Called her, but she never answered.

Going out in a hurry, knowing that Bai Xi had nowhere to go in this city at this time, he went straight to the house she had rented before.I remembered that road so clearly that when I stopped downstairs and saw Xu Zhuo waving at him through the open window, his heart was still pounding.

Before he had time to see Xu Zhuo's expression clearly, he ran up quickly.

Bai Xi stood there safe and sound, with an almost silly expression on her face, or... she was about to burst into tears in the next second.

Without saying a word, he went to check her wrists, his heart thumped back to the original place, that kind of coldness mixed with the past resurfaced, and when he turned to leave, he heard her call him to stop.

"...I don't have my parents either..." Her voice was soft and weak, like a kite in a strong wind, ready to be blown away at any moment, "You are just deceiving...someone who is willing to believe in you."

Every word and every word, he heard it like a thunderbolt.

She actually... knew all of this a long time ago.
