It’s different from the game played by the two younger ones.
Qin Hailong and Grandma Ruan drank tea and then walked around in the park behind. Naturally, the topic of conversation was still about children.
They were very satisfied with the growth of Ruan Yihan and Qin Haiyao, and knew that they had both paid a lot. Although they felt a little distressed, they were more relieved.
Qin Hailong praised Xiao Hai highly: "Xiao Hai is really different. I didn't know it before. When Qin Yi was learning the piano, she would play for hours at a time. I was so moved. I thought she knew how to endure hardships. She did this and that, and asked someone to massage her. I wanted to worship her like a deity. But look at Xiao Hai, she is simply... Everything in the company, in just a short time, she remembers everything, as if she has a photographic memory. When I asked her if she was tired, she always smiled and shook her head."
In fact, it’s not that he has a photographic memory, but Qin Haiyao studied medicine. Students who have been tortured by medicine know how many memory points there are. That kind of fast memory is completely the result of torture during college.
Grandma Ruan listened with a smile. She was not happy for Qin Haiyao, but she was relieved to see her granddaughter look a little more human after such a long time.
Although Ruan Yihan still felt awkward when being with Qin Haiyao, she was no longer as depressed and unhappy as before, and she didn't care about anything people said.
"After Xiao Hai came, Yi Yi has changed." Qin Hailong showed off his own child. "What she talks about most now is that geniuses are still working hard, let alone her? The eldest daughter has restrained her temper a lot. One day she even confessed to me affectionately, saying that compared to her third aunt, I am simply an angel father, and she must be filial to me." Maybe because he drank today, he was in a good mood and talked more. "Old lady, do you remember the promise we made when the old man was here?"
Is that an agreement
Grandma Ruan naturally could not forget it.
The Qin family and the Ruan family are aristocratic families. Back then, when Grandpa Qin and Grandma Ruan were drinking, they once said that it would be great if the children of the younger generations could be closely related to each other in the future. Naturally, Grandma Ruan agreed.
only…
Qin Hailong looked at the old lady and patted his chest: "I promise to support Xiaohai so that she can take over Nanyang smoothly and have a bright future. You don't know-" He sighed: "I've been worried about Xiaohai's health. I've consulted many doctors, and most of them said that she should be happy. She was depressed and couldn't vent her anger at all."
Grandma Ruan knew what Hailong meant, and she patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, let them discuss it themselves. If possible, I will naturally agree."
She knew that her granddaughter had a knot in her heart that might not be resolved for a while.
But Grandma Ruan has lived a lifetime and has long seen things clearly. Instead of living in pain day by day holding on to hatred, why not let go of everything and open her heart to enjoy the happiness of the rest of her life
Life is short.
They have missed it twice. If it is really like what the granddaughter mentioned, Xiaohai said this is the last life, why not hold it in her hands
What was Ah Han worried about? It was nothing more than that Xiao Hai would hurt her. Would Qin Haiyao hurt her now? Grandma Ruan herself didn't believe it.
After talking about the juniors for a while, the topic naturally turned to Qin Qin. Qin Hailong exhaled: "She really did as she said, she found a place to go on vacation. The people I sent followed her and said that Qin Qin just exercised and shopped every day. There was no sign of any accidents."
Grandma Ruan nodded: "The information I gave is the same as Duanzi's. The focus is on treatment."
Obviously, the best situation is that nothing happens, but they just feel uneasy.
Qin Hailong said dimly: "It would be great if she could change her mind."
They are not young anymore.
Although the sun is setting, it is almost sunset. Do I really have to take this resentment into the coffin
After Ruan Yihan came back from the drinking table that day, she locked herself in the room again and did not come out all night.
Grandma Ruan knew her granddaughter's personality, so she didn't try to comfort her or ask any questions. What she needed was not verbal comfort from anyone, but time for her to get over it on her own.
During that time, the Qin family and the Ruan family returned to the state they had in the days of Grandma Ruan and Grandpa Qin, supporting each other.
Life is full of twists and turns.
Qin Haiyao and Ruan Yihan never imagined that one day they would be in the same position and in the same situation.
The Ruan family and the Qin family were originally big names in the industry. Grandma Ruan and Qin Qin had fallen out before, and there were colleagues in the industry who were secretly waiting to see the joke, and some people wanted to see them both suffer losses in order to see if they could take advantage of the situation. But no one expected that when it came to the two younger generations, the two families would be miraculously brought together again.
Ruan Yihan's moods fluctuated a lot, and she became more and more impatient at work. The first thing Jiang Zhenyue did every day was to open the office window to disperse the smoke inside.
Ruan Yihan seemed to be trying to make things difficult for herself, smoking one cigarette after another. At first, Jiang Zhenyue just watched coldly and ignored her, but later she became more and more excessive, and the smell of cigarettes was drifting through the crack in the door into her secretary's office.
Jiang Zhenyue couldn't help it. She drank her lemon tea and looked at Ruan Yihan: "Boss Ruan, is it really that serious?"
Ruan Yihan raised her eyes, her eyes were bloodshot: "What?"
Jiang Zhenyue pointed at her ashtray, then pointed at her eyes: "You haven't been under much pressure at work recently, so why are you torturing yourself like this? Is there something wrong with you?"
Yueyue already knew that Qin Haiyao was the president of Nanyang. She didn't say much and didn't ask Ruan Yihan anything.
Ruan Yihan put down the documents in her hand and looked at Jiang Zhenyue: "You know how much pressure I have at work."
Jiang Zhenyue folded her arms and leaned against the table, "I really don't know."
Ruan Yihan: …
In Jiang Zhenyue's opinion, the current situation is much better than when she just took over the company. Everything is changing for the better. She has even arranged a route for the pilgrimage to Tibet. She did not choose a plane or a train. She just took a motorcycle and a map. She was going to rush there and thoroughly enjoy the taste of freedom. Because her grandmother's birthday was in a week, Jiang Zhenyue thought there was no need to rush and it would be better to say goodbye to her grandmother after her birthday before leaving.
Ruan Yihan scratched her head in annoyance, "I just don't believe I will lose to her."
Although she was not particularly outstanding since she was a child, she has always been a top student in her studies. But what about now
She now truly understands the meaning of “other people’s children” that she didn’t understand when she was a child.
At first, it was her grandmother who would occasionally whisper in her ear: "Xiao Hai is an incredible girl. I heard from your second uncle that she actually got the land in Changping. Do you know how much trouble it must have taken to coordinate with so many departments?"
Ruan Yihan: …
Later, not only grandma, but even my second uncle would complain about it from time to time.
"Xiao Hai is really amazing, even more amazing than I was when I was young. He has bright and sharp eyes, sees things accurately, and is willing to work hard. Haha, old lady, I'm not bragging. If he keeps going like this, Nanyang will surpass you."
…
Listen, if this isn’t bragging, what is it
Jiang Zhenyue looked at Ruan Yihan, and suddenly laughed at her annoyed expression. Ruan Yihan became angry and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Sitting in her current position, there are very few people who can chat with her like this, and Ruan Yihan cherishes this opportunity very much.
Jiang Zhenyue raised her eyebrows, her eyes sharp: "Want to surpass Mr. Qin? I don't think you can do it in this lifetime."
Ruan Yihan was anxious, "You also said so?"
Jiang Zhenyue didn't want to explain such things to such a naive person. She shook her head and walked out with her tea.
Outside, Ah Li was on the phone. When she saw Jiang Zhenyue coming out, she hung up the phone and came over with a smile: "Sister, what kind of tea smells so good? Can you make me a cup too?"
Jiang Zhenyue looked at A-li, then looked at her phone: "Okay."
After all, the two companies have a lot of cooperation.
Even though she didn't want to meet, Ruan Yihan had to see Qin Haiyao often.
And Qin Haiyao was exactly the same as before. It was as if she had cast a spell on grandma's heart, making her fall in love with her quickly.
Ruan Yihan had clearly told her grandmother about the tragic past, but Grandma Ruan still went her own way. The most important thing was that Qin Haiyao was particularly good at making side dishes, the taste of which could not be matched anywhere else, and she firmly captured Grandma's stomach.
Ruan Yihan knew this very well. As the meeting was about to end, the old lady clamored to stay for dinner. She looked at the watch, it was only ten o'clock, she sighed, and prepared to go out for a walk.
Qin Haiyao saw it and asked, "Boss Ruan, do you want to come to my office and sit down?"
Ruan Yihan raised her head and looked into Qin Haiyao's eyes. What did she want to do? Qin Haiyao smiled slightly: "Just sit there, nothing else."
Ruan Yihan: … … …
She sneered, "I'd like to make it clear in advance that I don't really want to go over there. I'm just afraid that you'll say something weird again, which might have a bad influence."
Now, whenever they walk together, there will always be ambiguous and gossipy glances cast at them. At the beginning, Ruan Yihan would frown and look away, but now, after so many times, she has already been in a state of loving whoever she wants.
President Qin nodded very understandingly: "Strange words? What are they? Is President Ruan afraid that he will be eaten if he enters my office?"
Ruan Yihan: … …
Qin Haiyao is really annoying after becoming the president!
This time, the two of them did not walk one in front and one behind, but walked side by side as usual.
When Ruan Yihan realized it and took a step forward with a frown, Qin Haiyao smiled and looked into Ruan Yihan's eyes: "Boss Ruan, the work is already tiring enough, there is no need to change some habits."
Habits are not formed in a day or two. They have experienced two lifetimes. Can she control it if she wants to
Ruan Yihan didn't like what she heard. She looked into Qin Haiyao's eyes and said, "Boss Qin, you are a CEO now, so please be careful with your words."
"What's wrong with my words?" Qin Haiyao reached out to unbutton the top button of her shirt. The meeting was over, so there was no need for her to be so tense.
Ruan Yihan saw it and her face became hot. She tilted her head and said, "Don't always say things that will make people imagine things."
"Imagining wildly?" Qin Haiyao smiled, with a hint of temptation in her eyes: "What are you thinking about, Mr. Ruan?"
Ruan Yihan: …
She is a kind and upright person. Compared with a wild person like Mr. Qin, she is naturally no match for him in verbal battles.
Ms. Ruan comforted herself that she didn't need to feel frustrated, as this was not what she was competing with Mr. Qin for.
Qin Haiyao saw Ruan Yihan's face turn cold, so she also restrained her smile and said seriously: "Mr. Ruan needs to improve his self-control."
Ruan Yihan: … …
Talking to Mr. Qin really made her blood stagnate and her chest feel stuffy. Ruan Yihan took off her coat. She was wearing a goose-white close-fitting shirt underneath. Qin Haiyao saw it and raised her hand like a fan, fanning her face: "Is Mr. Ruan going to test my concentration again?"
…
After so much difficulty, I finally arrived at Mr. Qin's office.
After Ruan Yihan entered, she smelled a familiar lemon scent. For some reason, her nose suddenly felt sore and her eyes felt hot.
Ms. Qin's office decoration is simple and generous, just like her, it does not need too much embellishment, but only relies on her own aura to intimidate.
Most people hang some landscape paintings in their offices. From the perspective of Feng Shui, it attracts wealth; from the perspective of decoration, it shows the leader's kingly spirit.
Qin Haiyao only hung two pieces of calligraphy.
They were all written by her own hand and were very brief.
The first one: If only life could be like the first time we met.
The second one - look forward and don’t look back.
At first glance, these two words seem to contradict each other.
When a client came to Ms. Qin's office, she had asked about it before. She always smiled and said nothing. However, Ruan Yihan understood immediately and said calmly, "Ms. Qin has a refined taste."
Qin Haiyao had taken off her coat. She loosened her hair and shook it, letting it spread out like a waterfall.
This used to be Ruan Yihan's favorite scene. She saw it accidentally when she and Xiaohai were taking a bath together. She was shocked by her beauty, and felt that she was more charming than any girl in shampoo advertisements. When she had nothing to do, she would beg Xiaohai to do it once. After that, her animal nature would be aroused, and she would definitely have a high-quality sex life one, three or more times. At the beginning, Xiaohai could not stand her pestering and did it occasionally, but later he was scared of her and refused to do it with a red face.
Ruan Yihan turned her back to Qin Haiyao, and she suddenly wanted to cry.
It was not until this period of time had passed that she remembered that in the past, Qin Haiyao had given her not only deception and hurt, but also too much warmth and tenderness.
The wind blew into the office. Although it was no longer their little home, everything was different.
But Qin Haiyao was still the same. She didn't indulge Ruan Yihan to give her coffee, but asked casually: "Is it still Qingmeng?"
Just because Qin Haiyao always has a faint scent of lemon on her body, Ruan Yihan is very obsessed with lemon juice. It is her favorite drink along with coffee. She used to carry lemons with her when she was on business trips. When she missed you, she would smell it and feel that Xiaohai was by her side.
Ruan Yihan nodded, suppressing the sadness in her heart, and looked at Qin Haiyao's desk.
Her desk is simple and tidy, unlike her other desk which would be cluttered if not tidy.
Qin Haiyao finished squeezing the juice. She came over from behind and handed the cup to Ruan Yihan: "Knowing that you were coming today, I cleaned the table specially."
This is...
Ruan Yihan immediately took a sip of the lemon. The sweet and sour taste spread from her mouth. She tried to calm herself.
I still remember one time before, Ruan Yihan was busy for several days and didn't go home. Xiaohai said he would come to the company to see her the day before. Ruan Yihan specially cleaned up the desk. Qin Haiyao walked in and saw it and laughed: "Why did you clean it up in advance?"
Doesn’t she know Ruan Yihan’s lazy personality
Ruan Yihan raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her waist, pressed her down on the table, and breathed in her ear: "Knowing that you were coming today, I cleaned the table on purpose."
Xiao Hai's face immediately turned red, and he hit her coquettishly with the hand that was on her chest.
It must be intentional.
Did Qin Haiyao want to tell her that she remembered every word she said
Her mouth was sour and her heart was filled with confusion. Ruan Yihan didn't want to continue this topic, so she asked casually, "Is the work hard?"
Is it difficult
Ms. Ruan's question was meant to imply something. She thought Qin Haiyao would be more sensible and truthful, and would definitely say that it was very strenuous. Then when her grandmother and second uncle nag her again, she could reply openly, "What genius? What awesome? She is also struggling, okay?"
Qin Haiyao tilted her head, the wind blowing her hair, she stared at Ruan Yihan, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
This little expression belongs only to Ruan Yihan.
People like Xiao Hai are always cold and aloof in front of outsiders, but they are like this only when they are with her. All the cuteness and charm of a little woman and a hint of badness that makes people unable to stop are melted in it.
Ruan Yihan turned her head away as if she had received an electric shock. This was something she had been doing frequently recently. Qin Haiyao smiled and said in a long voice, "What kind of answer does President Ruan want to hear? Is it better to work hard or not?"
Ruan Yihan was angry and stared at Qin Haiyao.
Xiaohai is no longer the same Xiaohai as before.
She is President Qin.
She had enough capital to see President Ruan angry.
Qin Haiyao stared at Ruan Yihan's fiery eyes and nodded gently, "I'm struggling."
She understood.
Mr. Ruan: …
She was really very angry. Ruan always wanted to put on her boxing gloves and have a big fight, but every time she tried her best to punch, she either missed the target or hit the air. She felt frustrated.
Qin Haiyao pointed to the desk and said, "It's no exaggeration to say that I've read more materials recently than these."
A president's desk is a place that maintains elegance, so the number of desks is naturally indispensable.
After hearing this, Ruan Yihan suddenly felt a sense of identification. Yes, she had also seen so many of them.
Qin Haiyao took a sip of her green lemonade and said in a relaxed voice, "I was very annoyed at first. Why did I feel so different from the CEOs in novels and TV dramas? Don't CEOs stomp their feet and glare at everyone and everyone gets scared? As a CEO, why do I have to keep an eye on everything? Why do I have to know everything in the company, big or small? What do those department heads do for a living?"
After hearing this, the villain in Ruan Yihan’s heart was about to burst out, wasn’t it
Qin Haiyao tilted her head, her hair messed up by the wind. "It's really not easy. I've had the urge many times to throw things away and leave, to not care about anything and love whoever I want, but I can't do it." She turned her head and stared at Ruan Yihan. "I'm like this. What about President Ruan?"
Ruan Yihan looked at the work and said casually: "It's not easy for me."
Qin Haiyao: …
It really is her Ahan.
Nothing has changed in three lifetimes.
If the timing was not right, she really wanted to go up and pinch Ruan Yihan's face and ask her how thick it was.
In the office, the scents of Ruan Yihan and Qin Haiyao mixed together.
The two of them drank lime drinks and chatted with each other.
It’s a very familiar feeling, yet we’re in a strange place, communicating strange words.
Ruan Yihan felt that she had not been so relaxed for a long time. This feeling was something she had never experienced since she came back. How could she describe it... She felt relaxed, with a vague sense of belonging as if she was back home.
They are no longer who they were before.
But because of their common positions, they have common communication, common thinking, and even their complaints are made online, which makes them more tacitly connected, as if they were a couple who have been married for many years.
Awakened by her own thoughts, Ruan Yihan put down her cup and took a deep breath: "Thank you Mr. Qin for your hospitality today. I have a meeting in the afternoon. Goodbye."
After saying that, she didn't care what Qin Haiyao said and ran away without looking back.
Qin Haiyao still maintained the same posture as before. She stared in the direction where Ruan Yihan left and curled the corners of her lips.
Qin Haiyao didn't put down her cup until Ruan Yihan's back completely disappeared. She picked up the cup that Ruan Yihan had just drunk from and looked at it. Her heart was beating faster than before.
I know this is despicable... If Ruan Yihan knew or saw it, she would be angry and crazy.
But Qin Haiyao still couldn't control herself. She opened her red lips slightly and covered the lip print left on the cup.
Ah Han...
That evening.
Ruan Yihan lost her temper again. She swore to her grandmother in the living room, "Grandma, no matter what kind of projects Nanyang has in the future or how much cooperation we have, I will never go there again."
She was thinking about this and talking to her grandmother on the way.
Ruan Yihan had planned it well. Her grandmother would definitely ask why, and she would say that there was too much work and she couldn't handle it, so she planned to assign it to the vice president.
Grandma Ruan ate the watermelon and spat out some watermelon seeds: "Is it because of Xiao Hai? It's up to you to go or not."
Ruan Yihan: …
Aaaaahhh!!!
Going crazy! This old lady!
She rushed over to grab the plate of melons and said angrily, "Don't eat any more!"
Grandma Ruan: …
Childish ghost.
Mr. Ruan is suffering from insomnia again.
But this time the dream was no longer black. It was an ambiguous pink, with soft bubbles all over the sky...
When I woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.
There is nothing important today, and she said she would stay at home with her grandma.
Ruan Yihan was about to get up and wash up. She casually picked up her cell phone and took a look at it. Her yawning mouth immediately closed and her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
This is information I haven't received for a long time.
From Qin Haiyao.
—I'm at your door. I brought some freshly made side dishes for grandma. Can I come in
Qin Haiyao knew that Grandma Ruan was Ruan Yihan's forbidden area. Although a long time had passed, the incident when she entered the house without permission to talk to Grandma and Ruan Yihan smashed the radio in a ferocious manner remained in Xiaohai's heart like a brand.
She didn't dare, she was afraid.
Ruan Yihan's heart beat faster. She looked at the time Qin Haiyao sent the message. It was half an hour ago.
Should she leave? Ruan Yihan immediately checked the surveillance camera and found that she had not left!
Ruan Yihan jumped up from the bed, rushed to the bathroom to wash and brush her teeth, then returned to the bedroom, opened the closet and picked up clothes one by one.
After doing all this, she suddenly froze.
What is she doing
Ruan Yihan took a deep breath, and her fevered head suddenly regained its rationality. She clearly didn't do anything, but her body seemed to have lost strength and she slowly sat back on the bed.
—I don’t want to say forgiveness, nor do I want to get too close to you, Qin Haiyao. I’m tired. I have finally started my life again. I don’t want to be played around by anyone anymore, and I don’t want to love anyone anymore. I’m fine being alone now.
…
This is what she had said solemnly not long ago.
Think about the past... Think about the deceptions...
Ruan Yihan gritted her teeth, she lowered her head and pressed her phone, typing word by word.
—Go away? Who told you to come
Just as she finished typing, Ruan Yihan thought of what her grandmother said.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Hai is now the CEO of Nanyang. If you treat him with respect and stop using your toy tricks, it would be good enough if you don't become his toy."
Well, she's a good granddaughter and she listens to her grandma.
Ruan Yihan changed a line of words.
—No need. What side dish can’t my grandma have if she wants to eat it
Just as the call was over, the sound of Grandma Ruan talking to the servants floated into the living room.
"The fried dough sticks you prepared this morning were really good, but they lacked some side dishes. It would have been nice if they had Xiao Hai's side dishes."
Ruan Yihan: …
Delete again.
Ruan Yihan closed her eyes, thought about it, and typed almost subconsciously.
-Why, you try every possible way to get close to me every day, could it be that you regret it, Mr. Qin? Do you want to get back together with me? Haha, just give up on this idea, I will definitely agree.
She typed too fast and accidentally left out the word "no", which definitely indicated that she would not agree.
Just as Ruan Yihan was about to join in, she heard her grandmother's thunderous voice in the living room, "Ah? Xiaohai, why are you here!" Ruan Yihan was startled, her hands trembled, and she pressed the send button.
Ruan Yihan: … … … … …
What the hell???!!!!!!!!!
what happened
Ms. Ruan went crazy. It was as if a spring was pressed on her butt, and she suddenly bounced up and ran out.
Qin Haiyao stood at the door and did not go in. She was holding a sealed side dish in her hand and looked at Grandma Ruan with a smile: "Grandma, I brought you some side dishes."
Grandma Ruan was so focused on eating that she didn't notice her granddaughter's pale face. She wanted to go out for some fresh air, but when she opened the door, she saw Xiao Hai standing outside. Grandma smiled so hard that her dentures were about to show. She took the food from him and said, "Okay, okay, grandma was just saying that she wanted to eat the side dishes you made. Come in, I'll put the dishes in first."
Grandma Ruan took the side dish and hurried back into the house. She was becoming more and more childish now. She wanted to hide the side dish that she had finally obtained and not give it to her granddaughter. She wanted to keep it for herself and enjoy it slowly.
Watching grandma leave.
Qin Haiyao looked at Ruan Yihan and smiled slightly: "Did I disturb Mr. Ruan's rest?"
Ruan Yihan said coldly, "You woke me up from my lazy sleep."
She walked to the door and looked down at Qin Haiyao: "What are you doing here?"
Mr. Ruan's expression was extremely resistant and cold. He stared at Qin Haiyao intently, quickly analyzing her outfit today.
Cell phone… where should the cell phone be
Qin Haiyao wore a windbreaker, casual jeans, high heels, and light makeup, and looked much better than before.
According to Qin Haiyao's previous habits...
Ruan Yihan's eyes fell on Qin Haiyao's bag.
President Qin felt a chill in her heart when she saw President Ruan's vicious gaze that seemed to burn a hole through it. She bit her lip, adjusted her attitude, and looked at Ruan Yihan: "I won't hurt grandma again, I swear."
Ruan Yihan looked up at Qin Haiyao in surprise.
Qin Haiyao looked at her, "Mr. Ruan, don't you believe it? Are you afraid that I brought some weapon?"
She thought about it, opened the bag and let Ruan Yihan take a look.
Just a simple charger, a wallet, and some small items like lip balm and sunscreen.
The bag was checked and no cell phone was found.
Ruan Yihan's heart was hanging in her chest. Although she was in a mess, President Ruan's face had not collapsed yet, and her eyes were still gloomy. Qin Haiyao looked into her eyes and was silent for a while. President Qin grabbed Ruan Yihan's hand and placed it on the softest part of his body: "President Ruan wants to search me, right? Come on."
Ruan Yihan: … … … … …
