Luo Xiaoxi had already considered this issue and made a decision long ago.
Last night was her last farewell to Su Yicheng.
She raised a smile and nodded vigorously: "I do. However, you have to arrange a position for me that sounds cool, otherwise I won't do it!"
To her surprise, Lao Luo was not happy because she nodded in agreement.
Hey, isn't this what Lao Luo has always wanted? He should be very happy!
"Xiao Xi, have you forgotten what dad told you when he just woke up?" Lao Luo put down the tea cup, "I hope you are happy. Will you be happy working at Luo's?"
Luo Xiaoxi laughed "hehe" twice, "Of course I will! I'm very happy during this time!"
"You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me." Luo Xiaoxi's smile suddenly froze at Lao Luo's words, and he continued, "Xiao Xi, dad doesn't understand you yet? How can you live a rigid nine-to-five job?" People who live this kind of life?”
“…”
"Dad knows why you agreed. You want to make me happy. But Xiao Xi, dad has figured it out now. It doesn't matter if Luo's is sold to others in the future. Health and happiness are not as important as external things? Dad doesn't want you to cut off your own Wings, trapping yourself in a cage.
"Go ahead. Whatever you want to do, just do it. Whatever you want, just go for it. As long as you are happy, dad will not stop you anymore."
“…”
Luo Xiaoxi lowered her head, and two lines of tears fell on her legs, leaving a small pool of water stains.
Lao Luo held his daughter's hand distressedly and said, "Let's take Su Yicheng home for a meal tonight."
Luo Xiaoxi shook her head and suddenly cried, "Dad, I don't know what to do."
She does still love Su Yicheng.
But she couldn't cross the hurdle in her heart.
She lay helplessly on her father's lap, her tears quickly soaking her father's legs.
Lao Luo caressed his daughter's back distressedly, "...Xiao Xi, please go out for a walk. You are under too much pressure during this period, so go out and relax. Maybe you will meet unexpected people and things, and maybe... Know what to do.”
…
The next day, the airport security checkpoint.
After listening to her parents' instructions one by one, Luo Xiaoxi hugged Lao Luo and her mother, waved to them, "I'm leaving."
"Be safe, don't trust strangers easily, take care of yourself..." Mother Luo said and smiled, "Did I just say this?"
"It doesn't matter!" Luo Xiaoxi smiled and hugged her mother again, "I love hearing it no matter how many times you say it!"
Mother Luo's eyes were red, "Remember to take care of yourself."
"I will! You and Lao Luo wait for me to come back!"
After passing the security check, Luo Xiaoxi got on the descending escalator, and her figure slowly disappeared in front of those who were watching her.
Lao Luo quickly returned home with his wife, but Su Yicheng, who was not far behind them, did not move for a long time. His eyes were fixed on the place where Luo Xiaoxi disappeared. It seemed that as long as he looked like this, she would be back in the next second. .
But he knew in his heart that Luo Xiaoxi would not be back soon.
He thought that the night of the reception was a prelude to getting back together with Luo Xiaoxi, but it turned out to be a farewell song.
He once again tasted the feeling of witnessing his mother passing away. The most important piece of his heart was ruthlessly peeled off, leaving him only with bloody pain.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he finally turned around and left. No one saw that his eyes had become misty at some point.
VIP waiting room.
Luo Xiaoxi took a sip of the freshly squeezed juice brought by the flight attendant, called up Su Jianan's number and called her to tell her that she was leaving.
"Xiao Xi..." Su Jianan seemed to have a thousand words to say, but hesitated. In the end, she just told her, "Be safe in a strange place and take care of yourself."
Luo Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile, "Why are you like my mother?"
Su Jianan also laughed dumbly, "...when will you come back?"
Luo Xiaoxi was silent for a long time before replying: "I don't know. I'll come back when I figure it out. You and Lu Boyan are fine. When I come back, try to get good news!"
The stewardess came in and informed Luo Xiaoxi that she could board the plane. She said goodbye to Su Jianan, turned off her phone, and boarded the plane to leave the city she was most familiar with.
When the plane rose to a certain height, the high-rise buildings in the city became very small in her eyes, like community models. She subconsciously looked for Su Yicheng's apartment, but where could she find it
My heart clenched into a ball, and I felt regret for a moment.
But she left anyway.
Su Jianan was also worried. She was sure that Su Yicheng already knew about Luo Xiaoxi's departure. When she called Su Yicheng, no one answered.
Although she knew that Su Yicheng would not do anything irrational, she still wanted to find him, even if she could only stay by his side silently.
Lu Boyan held Su Jianan down in time, "At this time, you should give him time to accept the facts."
"But..." Su Jianan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan said: "At this time, no man wants to be seen like this."
Su Jianan believed Lu Boyan's words, but her eyes became suspicious, "Where do you get your experience?"
"This is not experience, this is analysis."
"..." Su Jianan finally couldn't find any more loopholes.
…
Su Yicheng's apartment.
After leaving the airport, Su Yicheng came back directly.
After sitting stiffly on the sofa for an hour, he finally seemed to realize something, got up and walked to the photo wall.
Ancient town, Luo Xiaoxi, her smile...
Thinking about it now, those short few days were the happiest days for him and Luo Xiaoxi.
After standing and looking at it for a long time, Su Yicheng realized that it couldn't go on like this.
Even the air was heavy, his head could not move at all, and his body seemed to have no feeling, but it felt like there was a stone pressing on the top of his head, and at the same time, thousands of thin needles were constantly pricking him...
How can this go on
He went back to the room and lay down on the bed where he and Luo Xiaoxi had slept. Suddenly, his whole body was hit by a blank feeling, and the temperature of his eyes rose hastily.
The cell phone kept ringing in the living room, but it was as if he was in another world and couldn't hear the ringtone at all.
Give him half a day, just give him half a day.
When the sky darkened, Su Yicheng closed his eyes in a daze.
Ever since Luo Xiaoxi's parents had an accident, he had not had a good night's sleep even if he relied on sleeping pills. At this time, the boundless darkness surrounded him. He no longer thought of anyone or considered anything, and just wanted to sleep.
Luo Xiaoxi once told him that he would be fine if he just slept.
This sleep was very long. When Su Yicheng woke up, it was already the second day. He subconsciously reached out and touched his side. His fingertips only touched emptiness and coldness. There was no peaceful sleeping face of Luo Xiaoxi beside him.
She's gone.
And today is Monday.
He gets up.
In the past, in order to save time, Su Yicheng usually didn't make breakfast by himself, but he didn't know when he would start. He enjoyed making two breakfasts with his own hands.
Today he made two sandwiches, ground coffee beans and made two lattes, and mixed a fruit salad.
Luo Xiaoxi said that she felt the day was incomplete without fruit.
The housekeeping aunt came to clean Su Yicheng on time. When she saw him coming out with two breakfasts, she thought that Luo Xiaoxi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, would come today, but the other breakfast stayed on the dining table from beginning to end. Su Yicheng ate the other one bite by bite. A portion, with a suspiciously calm expression.
When he was leaving, the housekeeping aunt finally couldn't help but said, "Mr. Su, do you want to get rid of the other breakfast?"
Su Yicheng frowned and showed a rare displeasure to the housekeeping aunt: "Why should we deal with it?"
He has always been a gentleman and is equally educated to any class. The housekeeping aunt was shocked by his behavior and said nonchalantly: "If no one eats it... just get rid of it. Otherwise it will go bad."
Su Yicheng was startled.
No one eats it…
Indeed, no one ate it.
I don't know whether his expression softened or became gloomy, "Just deal with it."
This strange phenomenon continued. Su Yicheng made two breakfasts every day. He ate one and the other was disposed of by the housekeeping aunt.
The housekeeper respected Su Yicheng as her employer. He was wealthy but not condescending. He was very polite even to a blue-collar worker like her, so she called Su Jianan and told Su Jianan about this strange incident.
"It's okay, don't worry about him." Su Jian'an said, "Just... don't ask him if anyone will eat the other one."
The housekeeping aunt vaguely guessed something, but could do nothing but sigh.
The employees of Chengan Group also sensed Su Yicheng's abnormality. On the surface, he was still the same as before, a bit of a workaholic, strict and tolerant to his subordinates. But occasionally, he always gives people a negative feeling, but he still manages the company very well.
The strangest thing is that he gave up the Su Group's merger and acquisition and gave it completely to Lu Boyan.
Only Lu Boyan dared to ask him why, and his answer was only three words: "Not in the mood."
Winter is here.
When Su Yicheng got off work that day, he received a call from Luo's chairman's office, and Lao Luo asked him to meet.
We made an appointment at a private club, which is a good place to relax. When Su Yicheng arrived, Lao Luo was already sitting there drinking tea. He sat down apologetically: "Sorry, the traffic jam is very serious during peak hours."
"It's okay, you're not late." Lao Luo poured a cup of tea for Su Yicheng, which made Su Yicheng feel flattered and looked at Lao Luo with some confusion.
Lao Luo pushed the eight-percent-full tea cup in front of Su Yicheng, "I didn't know everything until today. You hid it from Xiao Xi because of Lao Zhang."
“…”
"Also, the director of the British company let it slip. It was you who negotiated the contract. I asked the crepe manager when I got off work. It turns out that he is a friend of you. It was you who arranged to come into the company to help Xiao Xi, right?" Luo looked at Su Yicheng and said, "Why don't you tell Xiao Xi if you do this?"
Su Yicheng picked up the tea cup and lowered his head slightly, "No need."
Moreover, Luo Xiaoxi hated him so much at that time that if she found out, she would definitely not accept his help.
Lao Luo let out a long sigh, took out his mobile phone and pushed it in front of Su Yicheng, "She was in Turkey recently. This is the photo she sent us yesterday. This damn girl is more ruthless than me. She calls us once a week. Normally The phone was turned off and we couldn’t contact her at all.”
Su Yicheng just stared at Luo Xiaoxi in the photo.
Behind her was the Hagia Sophia. She stood in front of the camera wearing a long coat and sunglasses with her hands open and a bright smile.
She lost weight, but she was fine.
That's good. (To be continued)
