the time you love

Chapter 26 Undercurrent (1)
After returning from the airport, Zhou Nuoyan seemed a little silent.

"What's the matter? Can't bear your mother to go back to Melbourne?" I looked at him sideways and asked with a smile.

He picked the corner of his lower lip and said nothing about it.

I flipped through the magazine I bought at the airport store just now, and a striking colorful picture came into view. After reading the report, I couldn't help feeling lucky, "The underground situation has been reported in the newspaper. Fortunately, Zhou Shouxin has already boarded the plane." .”

He glanced hurriedly, "Have you seen her recently? You should tell her about our marriage."

I pretended I didn't hear it, and looked carefully at the man's net worth, and was taken aback, "There is such a number one person in this city? How can he spend all his property?"

Zhou Nuoyan was not very interested in this, so he changed the subject and asked me: "How is work? Are you still used to it?"

"Well, it's okay." I replied casually.

Working in Yiyue, you can't go wrong if you grasp one principle, that is "the golden mean".

However, don't think that the mean is easy, it is just a thin line from mediocrity.

Every morning at 08:30, I sat down at the desk on time. Before Qi Weiye came, I quickly settled the breakfast bought on the street, and then turned on the computer to check emails. Usually no more than three sentences, but he would certainly go on for half an hour, sometimes more.Around ten o'clock, the fabric suppliers will come to visit one after another, and I will be responsible for this.Make a cup of green tea, take a notebook, sit in the reception room until noon after get off work, and then go to the restaurant for dinner with colleagues. I am busy in the afternoon. In addition to dealing with suppliers, I also have to spare time to sort out fabric samples and discuss with Qi Weiye. Working overtime is a must. Potluck.

Although they leave early and return late, they are quite in line with Zhou Nuoyan's pace.I used to think that it was quite comfortable to stay at home every day and wait for my husband to come back, but after hearing what his mother said about the past, I couldn't help being afraid of that kind of life.

At the end of summer, everyone in the design department becomes busy, which is said to be a routine.My workload has also doubled compared to before. The company plans to hold a new clothing launch conference in mid-October. At that time, it is inevitable to find models to walk in several shows. Although the scale is not as large as that of a large company, it is related to whether it can attract More franchisees, so there is no room for negligence.Qi Weiye thought that I was a newcomer and didn't have enough design experience, so he assigned me the job of looking for a model.

I was also happy, Xinxinran took over the task, called Zhou Nuoyan and invited him to have lunch.

Entering October, the samples for catwalks have been completed one after another.

The models I selected were basically satisfied after seeing several designers. I thought I could participate in other jobs besides looking for models. Unexpectedly, Qi Weiye threw me a stack of photos that were released in the year of the monkey and asked me to search all over the city by myself. , Said to be the accessories used to match the models with new clothes.Later, I really had no choice but Yue Wenlin came out to help. She took a few glances, frowned and said, "Tourma, how did you offend him? Didn't I tell you, don't compete with him for the limelight, and restrain your edge."

I suddenly felt that June was full of snow, and I began to complain, "I'm not restrained enough, Wen Lin, you don't even know, I almost dig a hole to hide in our office now, and he's the only one who calls me by my name." I just popped up when I was young, usually I am wholeheartedly being a little transparent, I even find the most remote corner to sit in the meeting, I wish I didn't make myself into a set, you have known me for so many years, when did you see me so low-key?"

Wen Lin also felt strange, pointing to some of the photos and said: "Then what did Qi Weiye do to you? Look at these, they are all products produced by the local fashion industry in 04. It's no wonder that your company will use them in this year's show!"

What she said was categorical, and I couldn't figure it out. After thinking about it together for a long time, I decided to go to Paris Printemps together. Now it is the new product launch. I bought two long-sleeved T-shirts and a pair of jeans. At Lin's instigation, she bought the expensive goatskin hollow flower skirt.I had ten reasons for not buying it, and Wen Lin convinced me with only one, she said: He Bixi, you look so youthful and lively, how do you look like someone else's wife?

Go for this, I have to buy even if I max out my credit card!
After shopping around for women's clothing, I couldn't get enough of it, so I dragged Wen Lin to the men's clothing on the upper floor to continue shopping.Knowing Zhou Nuoyan for so many years, I have never given him a gift, but I have received a bunch of gifts from him.Wen Lin later found out that the small apartment was given by Zhou Nuoyan, and asked me if this man raised me as a lover, and then I told her what happened in the past seven years, Wen Lin asked me if it was him in my previous life Creditor?Hey, I can't figure out some things in this life, how can I know what happened in my previous life.What's more, now that Zhou Nuoyan and I have achieved a positive result, we are naturally very happy, but when he asked me to go there from He Amber, I felt a lot of humiliation.

Feelings are mostly like this, when things are good, everything is right, and when things are bad, everything is wrong, even the same behavior.

It was already 08:30 when I got home, Zhou Nuoyan would usually be in the study if he was at home.

I took out the key to open the door by myself, saw the light in the living room was on, put the big bags and small bags from shopping on the floor, and shouted while taking off my shoes: "Promise, come out and see, I bought you a cashmere sweater, And Jodoll's suit, come and see if you like it—"

"Tourmaline." This sudden voice frightened me enough, I suddenly turned my head and saw Jiang En'ai in her pajamas, standing at the door of the bathroom with a smile on her face.

"Why is it you?" My smile suddenly froze on my face, and then I turned my gaze to the person who came out of the study.

"Enai's house contract has expired, and the landlord is eager to take over the house. She will stay here for a few days." After explaining a few words, Zhou Nuoyan came over and helped me put my things on the sofa.

"Won't disturb you?" Jiang Enai looked at me with a half-smile.

I didn't know which muscle was wrong, so I said without thinking, "If I say bother you, can you not live here?"

These words caught her off guard, her face could not help showing embarrassment and embarrassment, but these are secondary, I saw undisguised anger from her pair of beautiful eyes.

I know I shouldn't be so blunt, and I don't even let people down a step. No matter how close she is, she has a close relationship with Zhou Nuoyan.However, from the first time I met her, Jiang Enai gave me an invisible pressure, not only from her face that resembled Jiang Enjie, but also from herself.

A woman's intuition tells me that she has plans for my man, and not just a little bit.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the living room, and I realized that I was out of style, and my face was embarrassing for a while.

At this moment, Zhou Nuoyan interjected, "Did you pick up the ingot today? You make fun of everyone you see. Enai, didn't you say you were tired just now? Rest early, you still have a few surgeries to observe tomorrow."

"Well, good night then." She responded and quickly returned to the guest room.

"Why did she show up at our house?"

"The hospital will conduct a test for interns in two days. En'ai has to concentrate on preparing for the exam. If she can't spare time to find a house, let her stay here for a few days."

"Is that what you meant or what she meant? Needless to say, it must be what she meant." I was dragged into the bedroom by Zhou Nuoyan, and I couldn't wait to protest, "How can you promise her? Have you consulted me beforehand?" Opinion? Zhou Nuoyan, you are arbitrary, you don't respect me at all! Also, does she know that we are married?"

"Why is this disrespecting you? There is a reason for this. Besides, it's just a trivial matter. Don't go on the line at every turn."

"I'm online? Don't pretend that you don't know that she is interested in you. You can ask any woman if they mind if their husbands decide to let a woman who has an evil heart live in their home? This is for you. Maybe it’s a small thing, but it’s still a good thing, but to me, it’s like letting a wolf into the house! I don’t care, you will let her go tomorrow, there are good houses for rent all over the world, the big deal is to find an intermediary, and I will pay the head office. ?”

"It's not a matter of money. I admit that it's wrong to let Enai live in, but it will only be more wrong to do what you said. She is alone here, with no relatives or friends. I promised her mother to take care of her... ...Forget it, there is no need to say these things, this matter is over, it will pass after a few days of overcoming, you are in the company during the day, at most you can meet at night once."

He took it for granted, and I jumped angrily: "It's not a question of how many times I have met her! This matter doesn't make sense to you. You promised her mother to take care of her? Who are you? Husband or lover? You Behind my back..."

"He Bixi, enough is enough!"

He yelled loudly, which frightened me, and when I recovered, I wanted to fight back, and suddenly thought that if we quarreled with him, the wall has ears, wouldn't it be in her arms, maybe the woman was pricking up her ears to listen to the sound at this time, but Asking me to shut up, my heart was filled with indignation.I think he took me in under the pretense of taking care of me back then, but I became husband and wife with him. Since ancient times, isn’t it rare for friends to become in-laws under the guise of taking care of me?Besides, can this kind of care be accepted casually?Don't even look at who the target is.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and there was no way to relieve the breath I was holding in my chest, so I simply hid in the bathroom and took a bath, and didn't say a word to Zhou Nuoyan until I turned off the lights and went to bed.

The next day, when I got up early, he was woken up by the sound of me opening the closet, and asked casually, "Why did you wake up so early today?"

"Out of sight, out of sight, you continue to sleep."

He was slightly taken aback, I think he probably hasn't remembered what happened last night.No more words, after I changed my clothes, I took out the big bag I was going to carry today, and dumped all the odds and ends, such as mobile phone keys, tissues, etc., into it.

"Tourmaline, are you doing this?"

"What else?" I stood up straight and held the big bag in my hand, "I've said everything I need to say, I don't want to quarrel with you, I can always hide if I can't provoke you, right?" He left the house by himself.

I bought a morning newspaper, went to the tea restaurant for breakfast, sat for half an hour, and then walked to the office, but it turned out that I came early and there was no one in the office.Turning on the computer, wandering around on several big websites, I don't know what to look at, the finger resting on the mouse is unconsciously pointing, the brain is a little dull, and it seems to be unable to turn smoothly due to lack of oxygen.

After working hours, colleagues came in one after another, seeing me and asked in unison: "Didn't sleep well last night? What did you do? You look so bad."

How can family ugliness be publicized? I moved the corners of my mouth, but I smiled and said nothing.

After drinking two cups of espresso, I finally got off work at noon. My upper and lower eyelids were almost glued together, and I stopped going downstairs to eat with my colleagues. I ate half a pack of biscuits to satisfy my hunger. Sleep on the table.Unexpectedly, I couldn't sleep well, the phone rang just after I fell asleep, I closed my eyes, fumbled for the phone, and pressed the answer button directly.

"Tourmaline, it's me."

Hearing Zhou Nuoyan's voice, I became slightly sober, "What's the matter?"

"Just finished an operation, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's have lunch together."

"No, I've already eaten." I refused without hesitation, waited for a while, there was no response, and I was about to hang up, "You can find someone else to eat, that's it, hang up."

"Tourma, how long are you going to fight?" He seemed impatient, coughed, and said, "Can we stop arguing about an outsider?"

"I didn't intend to quarrel with you." I was completely sleepy at the moment, opened my coat and sat up straight, "You were the one who yelled at me first last night."

"Miss, what did you say last night? I'm really in a bad mood, especially when you question my loyalty."

"Okay, I admit that I was the one who opened my mouth last night, but Mr. Zhou, I may not be in a better mood than you. We have only been married for a long time, and a woman who I have no affection for her has moved in for no reason. , as your justifiable wife, I am not allowed to have the right to object."

We confronted each other on the phone, and I could even picture him.

In the next few days, my work frequently went wrong.

Qi Weiye couldn't find what he wanted, and was scolded by him.If I followed my temper in the past, I would not rise up, but this time I endured it.Wen Lin is right, Qi Weiye is obviously looking for faults and wants to drive me away, asking me to take the blame and resign?There are no doors.

So, he played a new trick and transferred me to help the decoration department, under the pretense of supervising the progress of the stage.The people in the decoration department are very deceitful. Here, I can't compare with other people's age, and it's even more nonsense than seniority. Several men took turns to give me difficult questions.

I was suffocated in the company, and I didn't want to go back to face Jiang En'ai after get off work. When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of Jiang Enjie. I don't believe that Zhou Nuoyan is not like me, but he still takes her in!

Thinking about it makes me depressed. This man always brings everyone he knows and doesn’t know to his home. It’s really outrageous. He Bixi didn’t care about it before, but I later realized his intentions. Heart knot, put an outsider in the middle, everyone will have some scruples on the face, so they won't tear their faces easily.But Jiang Enai just...

Saying that you have to concentrate on taking the test, and saying that you don’t have time to find a house are all excuses!

With a knife in one hand and a steel fork in the other, I poked at the steak angrily.

"It's rotten!" Fang Wenlin reminded me hastily, "It seems that you have been wronged by eating with me. If you are so worried about my husband, just drive away the eyesore."

"You put it lightly. She is in my eyes, but not in Zhou Nuoyan's eyes. What's the relationship between them? The old man said that Jiang En'ai was probably entrusted by his first love before his death. I drive her away? I'm not afraid of him. Did you drive me away first?"

Fang Wenlin smiled like a fox, "I'm not sure if you can drive her away, but Zhou Nuoyan will never drive you away, I have confidence in him. Don't worry about it, I think Zhou Nuoyan is very measured , he is not like you!"

"I'm not afraid that Zhou Nuoyan will fall in love with her. If I want to love her, I'll fall in love with her sooner. I won't be able to get involved." I cut a piece of steak and chewed it slowly.

"Then what are you worried about?"

I looked at her, hesitated to speak.I can't tell what I'm worried about, I just know that I don't like Jiang Enai very much, and she is also hostile to me.

We hate each other, and if you don't believe in Zhou Nuoyan, you can't see it.

Halfway through the meal, I received a call from Guo Yi, who came to ask about Jiang En'ai. I heard his evasive words, and couldn't help thinking, "Are you dating?"

He seemed to be a little distressed, and after considering it for a while, he said, "It's just in the pursuit stage."

What a turn of events, I immediately used my entertainment spirit of gossip without limits, and after questioning, I found out that the house contract expired, it was all nonsense!Jiang Enai has been staying at Guo Yi's house since she went to Ren'ai Hospital for an internship.Guo Yi fell in love with her for a long time, and launched a pursuit offensive without hesitation, who knew that he was too impatient and used too much force, and made the beautiful woman run away in anger.

Guo Yi sighed at the other end of the line, and I hated iron for steel, and tried my best to cheer him up: "Then why are you dawdling, hurry up and make up for it, she lives in my house now, you can coax her or lie to her, hurry up and get her out of here." Go back and offer."

"Tourma, that's why I called you. I know she lives in your house, and I asked her to promise her. If she really gets stuck outside, wouldn't it be even more difficult for me to persuade her to go back?"

This made a lot of sense, I understood it, and said, "How do you want me to cooperate with you? Make her run away in anger? Let her realize that you are the best, and then fall back into your arms?"

Guo Yi smirked twice, "We are mutually beneficial, and you can't wait for her to leave..."

I was about to say something when I noticed a new call came in, so I said, "Guo Yi, I have a call now, I will call you back later."

After talking on the phone with Lin Canran, I was in a daze for a while before my mind returned to normal operation.
