Where the warm sun does not fall

Chapter 21

If anyone asks about your necklace...it's my mother's.

She looked at this text message repeatedly for a long time.

At first, she didn't think of the sapphire necklace he asked his assistant to bring that day, but just as she raised her head in doubt, the image of that day flashed across her mind suddenly, and her whole body froze.

At this moment, a male reporter sitting in the middle got up and asked her, "Miss Qin, as far as I know, the sapphire necklace on the large poster behind you was bought by Mr. Tang at an auction at a high price a few years ago. A birthday present for Mrs. Tang on the spot. You will carry it, are you acknowledging this relationship indirectly?"

After the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on her.

She held the mobile phone in her hand and slowly squeezed it tightly, her face remained calm, but her heart was gnashing her teeth.

Tang Zechen dug such a big hole for her... She jumped down without knowing anything, and she didn't know the so-called truth until someone started shoveling and filling the hole, how should she answer now!

Although the previous crisis caused public relations to guide public opinion towards her having a fixed boyfriend and stable relationship, without naming names, it implied that Tang Zechen was well known, and...he was the default attitude.Later, she signed a contract with Tang Zechen as an endorsement, and there are various speculations. She is not a person who is casual about her relationship. No matter whether Tang Zechen is pursuing her or not, she is unwilling to admit it privately when the two have nothing to do with each other.

But if he denies it, it will undoubtedly trigger a crisis of her integrity, which is not good for her.

Tang Zechen obviously knew that the reporter would ask this question, so what did he mean?Let her admit it?She is not.

But after thinking about it, she immediately understood clearly that this was Tang Zechen's territory... Even if she denied it, the outside world probably wouldn't be able to make a big splash.

After such a hesitation, there were small discussions below.

The person in charge next to her glanced at her sideways, and said with a loud smile: "There will be a separate interview time later, and this kind of private issue that has nothing to do with the press conference, please ask the reporter friends to interview in private."

The reporter was very persistent: "Miss Qin herself is part of the endorsement, please ask Miss Qin to answer."

The mobile phone in her palm buzzed again, she looked up, and the place where Tang Zechen was standing was empty, leaving only a light shadow, which also passed by in a flash.

She thought for a moment, she already had an idea in her mind, she didn't look at her phone anymore, she put it back in her pocket calmly, her expression brightened, "Even if I answered, do you think this paragraph can be written? Tang Zechen dislikes women who are never irrelevant Hearing my own name in my mouth, I probably belong to the latter."

After a slight pause, she curved her lips into a smile again, slowed down her speech, and gave him a slightly serious look, "Do you have any questions?"

The audience was suddenly silent, only the flashlights were still flashing.

She raised her chin and smiled decently, but her eyes were indifferent and distant, obviously not very happy with the question of this reckless reporter.

After a moment of silence, another reporter asked another question, but after that, no reporter raised any questions about Tang Zechen.

Only then did Qin Nuanyang take out the text message and glance at it, only a few numbers:
I'll wait for you in the office.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise and bit her lower lip lightly.Could it be that he had already guessed that she would answer like this?
After the press conference, Miya canceled the reporter's interview due to her physical discomfort, and took her back to the lounge directly.She pushed the door open, and the lounge was quiet and empty.

She stood at the door and thought for a moment, then turned her head and asked Miya softly, "When will I return to City B?"

Mia glanced at her itinerary and replied, "Tonight."

Qin Nuanyang nodded, with an idea in mind, "Then you go to the car and wait for me first, I still have something to do, so I will leave later."

Miya saw Tang Zechen in the audience just now, and Nuan Yang was so vague, she immediately understood what her "something else" was about: "Then do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need." For some things, it is better for two people to talk face to face.

While talking, Tang Zechen's assistant came over, raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Miss Qin, Mr. Tang is waiting for you upstairs."

Qin Nuanyang: "...OK."

The assistant took her directly from Tang Zechen's special elevator all the way to the top floor. There was a high-level meeting room on the top floor, surrounded by transparent glass, which looked very spacious.

He was sitting inside, and a managerial person was reporting to him.He listened attentively, with a faint expression on his face, without even a hint of a smile.

Those eyes are very deep, like the night, deep, and with a strong sense of oppression.The profile of the face is clear and clear, and there is an indescribable sense of alienation.

But in front of her... It seems that she has never seen Tang Zechen with such an expression.

Seeing her slowing down, the assistant glanced back and explained, "Mr. Tang has something to deal with at the moment, so Ms. Qin will come with me to the office and wait a bit?"

She was about to look away, but he noticed something, turned his head to look over, and quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Okay." She nodded and quickly followed the assistant to his office to wait for him.

Tang Zechen's office is very different from the office in TC Guild Hall. It is only black and white, extremely monotonous and simple, full of modern fashion sense, and also has a very calm luxury.

It was still ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly, falling on the floor through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the whole room extraordinarily bright with a clear pattern.

Speaking of which... Qin Nuanyang still prefers the style of his office in the TC clubhouse.

She sat on the side of the small sofa for receiving guests and waited for him. The assistant opened the door and came in to refill her a cup of warm tea before retreating.

There were actually financial magazines on the table to pass the time. She held the teacup and sipped it, looking at the cover for a long time, but she just turned her eyes to look at the world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Although this is not the highest point in City A, the location is excellent.Just looking at it from this angle, you can already see half of City A at a glance. It is full of commercial circles outside the city center, full of high-rise buildings.

She waited for a while, the sun slowly faded from her insteps and fell on her toes, and then there were clear footsteps at the door, and the voice of an assistant talking to him.

Qin Nuanyang turned his head and looked over, he just opened the door and came in, his gaze fell directly on her.

She was wearing the aqua blue skirt she wore at the press conference just now. It was just knee-length, and her long hair was coiled up, revealing her slender neck. There was still nothing on her neck.

She has never loved jewelry, except for watches.

Tang Zechen walked over in a few steps, with a very faint tiredness between his brows, it could be seen that he didn't have a good rest. "I just came back, and there are a lot of things in the company."

"Well." She looked up at him and said softly, "I'm fine."

He was already sitting on the big sofa beside her, pouring tea for her, and when he heard the movement of his hands, he paused, "I have something to do with it."

The office was very quiet. As soon as he finished speaking, there was only the sound of pouring water in the room.Soon, even the shallow voice disappeared.

He took a sip of his tea, and said in a flat voice, "I don't really like making you wait." Even if it was me.

Qin Nuanyang's hand holding the teacup trembled, but only she knew it, he didn't notice it.

After a moment of silence, she spoke first, "I'm here to ask you about the necklace."

He said "hmm", obviously as expected. "But don't worry, you can think about whether you really want to know."

What he said was meaningful, obviously there was a big connotation in it.

She thought for a while, and she already had an idea in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She even smiled slightly, her tone calm and firm, very calm: "The purpose of my coming here is for this answer. My heart is rather dark, and I tend to think things in a bad direction. We just started working together, so it's better not to have a gap because of this matter."

Tang Zechen didn't answer, but the corners of his lips raised slightly.There was no superfluous expression, but it still made her heart skip a beat, slightly flustered.

"I think..." He paused, raised his eyes to look at her, "You seem to have gained a lot of confidence just because I like you?" At least, when talking to him, he has lost some scruples.

Although it was a questioning sentence pattern, when it came out of his mouth, it was in a declarative tone.

The corners of his brows are relaxed, and he seems to be quite happy with this knowledge, just looking at her lightly, with a slight smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

You rely on me to like you.

Because of his words, Qin Nuanyang suddenly became fascinated, as if... Is that so?

She pursed her lips and lowered her head to drink the tea she held in her hand.One bite at a time, the water temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold, the temperature is suitable, and it has a little warm fragrance.

"What kind of tea is this?" She changed the subject awkwardly.

"Nuanyang." He called her name with a slightly heavy tone, so she had to raise her head to face him squarely.

Tang Zechen slowed down his speech and said word by word: "Don't avoid my question"

Her fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly, feeling a little uneasy. Although her face remained calm, these small movements never escaped his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the answer she heard through the microphone at the entrance of the venue just now, she said that she was an irrelevant woman to him.

Although this kind of answer is clever, but to him he is pretending to be clever, which undoubtedly makes Tang Zechen very upset.

His voice suddenly sank, "I just heard you say that we have nothing to do with each other..." After a slight pause, he leaned back, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and tapped lightly with his fingers on the armrest. Knock, "I think what I said a few days ago has been very clear, do you need me to repeat it?"

Qin Nuanyang was beyond his expectation, and gave a very flat "oh".Immediately, he licked his somewhat dry lips, and replied: "No need to repeat, didn't you just say that I am confident because of your liking...it seems so."

Tang Zechen didn't expect her to answer like this, he was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then laughed softly.

There is only an arm's distance between them, just like yesterday in her nanny's car, except that yesterday it was in a parallel position, but today it is vertical, and he can hold her as long as he reaches out.

He raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, but didn't answer immediately, but his eyes gradually became darker.

After a moment of silence, he stood up, and under her gaze, he walked to the safe behind the desk, without shy away from her, directly entered the password to open the safe, and took out the sapphire necklace from last time.

She froze slightly, not understanding what he wanted to do.

He walked back, sat down on the sofa again, and put the sapphire necklace on the table in front of her.

The water-blue gem is even more crystal clear under the sun, flowing with water-blue brilliance, which is indescribably dazzling.

He looked down at her, with a clear and clear voice, "This necklace originally belonged to the Tang family. It was a token of love from my father to my mother. For various reasons, I didn't bring it back at the auction until a few years ago. the Tang family."

He paused, paying attention to her reaction, and said word by word: "I'm waiting for you to put it on."

While she was stunned, he planted a mine in her heart, "This is my attitude towards you."

I'm not forcing you to admit me, but I just want to tell you that this is my attitude, but unfortunately you don't understand and misunderstood.
