In a fit of anger, Yan Liang returned to the office without turning her head. Although her posture was decisive, she was actually listening to him all the time to see if he was following behind her. Back in the office, Yan Liang was about to close the door behind her back without saying a word, as she expected—the door was easily blocked from the outside in the next second.
Jiang Yunan outside the door looked calm: "You won't be really angry, will you?"
"..."
"Just because of a security guard?" Jiang Yunan asked knowingly.
Yan Liang looked at him like this, gritted his teeth and hesitated, and tried to make his tone less concerned: "Mr. Jiang is so busy, he didn't even call back after a business trip for so long. I'm also very busy now. Please don't disturb Mr. Jiang."
No matter how much she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide the anger in her tone. Such duplicity made Jiang Yunan involuntarily squint her eyes and smiled slightly: "Isn't this the one who rushed to find you as soon as he returned to China?"
Yanliang couldn't help recalling her rapid heartbeat when she saw him suddenly appear outside the sensor door just now—obviously, this answer proved by action was quite satisfactory to her.
Her strength against the door panel weakened a little, Jiang Yunan had already stepped in, wrapped her arms around her waist, and the two of them pressed their chests together, Yan Liang struggled complacently, and then silently gave in, listening to him ask: "How about it?" How long will it take to go?"
Yanliang looked back at the documents on the table, and estimated: "About an hour."
He has obvious dark circles under his eyes, looks like he is exhausted, and the rare gentleness in his voice is probably due to being too tired, but he hugs her extremely tightly, Yan Liang raised his head with difficulty under his shackles, and looked at him: " How about you go home first?"
He rubbed her forehead and nodded, but he didn't have any intention of leaving, as if he was infatuated and unwilling to leave, he hugged her for a while before letting go: "I'll sleep on the sofa for a while, remember to wake me up when I'm done. "
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the sofa in the corner.
With a height of more than 180 centimeters, he lay down on the couch, with no room left. Jiang Yunan could only curl up slightly, looking like a large but docile dog, giving people a feeling of wanting to be cared for but still holding on to it. Feeling apprehensive, Yan Liang saw him closing his eyes heavily, and then returned to the desk...
The clock in the corner ticked silently.
The office is always bright as day. The scattered light reflected the busyness of the desk, drawing a wonderful silhouette on the desk.
The night outside the window turns from light to dark, and when it reaches the extreme, it gradually reveals the dawn—
Its daybreak.
Yan Liang, who was finally done with his work, let out a long sigh of relief and closed the computer, frowned and closed his eyes to rest his mind, but suddenly his movements froze - only then did he remember that there was another person in the office.
Opening his eyes and looking at the sofa, Jiang Yunan was still sleeping there, he could vaguely see the serious frown between his brows in his sleep, Yan Liang looked at the clock with his eyes—five hours had passed before he knew it.
Yanliang stretched, got up lightly and went over, wanted to pat him on the shoulder to wake him up, but changed his mind in a moment of thought, squatted next to the sofa and observed him carefully.
Yanliang seems to have never seen his sleeping face, he wakes up before her almost every time. His appearance was extremely unfamiliar to Yan Liang, so much so that she couldn't help leaning over him as she looked at it, wanting to calm the hostility between his brows with a kiss.
As soon as his lips touched his eyebrows, Jiang Yunan suddenly opened his eyes.
So alert even in a dream—
Yanliang suddenly met those guarded eyes, and suddenly panicked, she straightened her body, and sat down on the single sofa beside her in a blink of an eye, Jiang Yunan had also recovered her shallow smile at this time, raised her hand Touching the center of his brows, he said with a little disappointment, "I would have pretended to be asleep if I knew it earlier."
Seeing that Yanliang didn't respond, he put on his suit and came directly in front of her, leaning on the back of the sofa with one hand, and lifted her chin with the other: "Why are you making such a bad face again?"
Yan Liang looked at the gentle face in front of him, but in his mind was his eyes full of guard that opened suddenly just now, the sixth sense unique to women
She couldn't help laughing, so she lowered her eyes and asked, "What kind of relationship do we have now...?"
Jiang Yunan was taken aback.
Yan Liang, who didn't get an answer for a long time, looked up at him, seeing this man's appearance made her heart tighten suddenly, she paused, and asked tentatively: "Bed partner?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yunan frowned fiercely.
Yanliang couldn't figure out the deep meaning behind this expression at all, he just looked at her, then twitched the corner of his mouth very seriously: "Do you think I will spend a lot of time and energy worrying about you for a bed partner? Have an affair with other men, let you lose your temper, listen to your complaints over and over again, please your father, deal with your sister, come to pick you up at night?"
"..."
It's not that Yan Liang has never seen him furious, but this is the first time he has encountered this kind of situation: a man who doesn't know what to do. Jiang Yunan, who has never been able to defeat him in anything, seems to be defeated by a woman's worries about gains and losses.
"Or should I understand that women who fall in love are always worried about gains and losses?" Jiang Yunan whispered.
This time, Yanliang was stunned.
"I… "
Yan Liang didn't know how to continue, she opened her mouth and then stopped her voice, got up to get her bag, then walked towards the door: "Let's go!"
Jiang Yunan looked at her back, his eyes flickered several times. He was not in a hurry to follow, but called Secretary Li, told Secretary Li to do something, and walked towards the door.
It was early morning at this time, Jiang Yunan was in charge of driving, Yanliang sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed.
If he goes back to catch up on sleep, he can only sleep for more than an hour, Yanliang reckons that he can go back to work directly after going home to wash up and have breakfast.
When she was about to fall into a light sleep in a daze, Yanliang was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone. When she woke up, she realized that it was not her mobile phone ringtone. She squinted her eyes and looked at her side—Jiang Yunan was just hooking up the bluetooth and answering the phone.
Not knowing what the other party said, Jiang Yunan just gave a bossy "Yes" and hung up the phone. It was too late and then it was too fast, and the car was turned into the opposite lane after a sharp turn.
This sudden change of direction made Yan Liang unable to figure out why for a long time: "Aren't you going home?"
Jiang Yunan's voice was slightly tense: "Let's go somewhere first."
Yanliang intuitively thought of the phone call he had just answered, and couldn't help asking: "Who called just now?"
"Secretary Li."
His serious appearance made Yanliang lose interest in continuing the conversation, and leaned back to the window leisurely, trying to sleep for a while longer.
Suddenly, the car stopped suddenly.
The heat and coolness in the half-asleep and half-awake room finally filled with drowsiness, which was suddenly shaken away by the bumps of the car. She opened her eyes and subconsciously looked out the window.
There are few pedestrians on the roadside, not many cars, and the shops facing the street are all closed——
Not all the shops were closed. The door gate of one shop had just been opened by the waiter, and it had slowly risen halfway.
On this side, Jiang Yunan reminded: "Get out of the car."
The waiter in that shop was still anxiously waiting for the gates to be raised, Yanliang had already been pulled over by Jiang Yunan.
The waiter saw them and immediately called out, "Mr. Jiang?"
When Yanliang saw the shop's signboard, she woke up completely.
Also completely confused.
This is a jewelry store known for custom wedding rings. During non-business hours, the waiters hurriedly opened the door for business, and only served the couple.
Yanliang's surprised eyes lingered between the shop signboard and Jiang Yunan's determined expression. Before she could figure it out, let alone say a word, Jiang Yunan had already pulled her into the shop.
The waiter behind hurriedly trotted to overtake the two, and turned on the rows of showcase lights. Another waiter who followed behind Jiang Yunan and Yanliang explained softly: "Since Mr. Li informed you temporarily, our colleagues have already gone to the vault to pick up the ones over two carats. Please wait another quarter of an hour."
Yan Liang stood in front of the dazzling display case, her mind went blank. On the other side, Jiang Yunan had already picked out two rings, and the waiter took out the display case.
Jiang Yunan picked up one of them, looked at it and seemed quite satisfied, then turned his gaze to Yanliang.
Yanliang frowned and looked at the ring that was handed under her nose, then looked up at Jiang Yunan—
She saw Jiang Yunan's thin lips slightly parted, and slowly said three words.
Yanliang was indeed waiting for this man to say three words to herself.
But—by no means these three that he blurted out at this moment:
"Get engaged."
