Cheng Lang felt that he was risking his life.
At first it was paused by her saying "don't go", but later it became a competition between myself and myself.
Stephen once said that his mental illness is a type of social phobia, commonly known as "phobia of women", but he has overcome the barriers to normal communication with women in previous treatments, and only the resistance to physical contact with women remains, so he His symptoms are not serious among similar patients. If he can accept abstinence for a lifetime, he can stop the treatment at this point.
But from a medical point of view, just like a person who is afraid of social interaction is extremely eager to communicate, the more he resists women, the more he proves that he desires women. Stephen thinks this is very regrettable-a man who lacks nothing in wealth, power, status, and appearance. man, but can’t have a normal love, so I suggest that he don’t waste his energy on fighting drugs and psychiatrists, but try to desensitize himself.
Cheng Lang didn't make up his mind until he fell in love with Xu Qiao that night.
He admits that he is not a "good person", and a large part of the reason for flirting with Xu Qiao at first was desensitized selfishness, so when he found out that she was not the most suitable person, he stopped immediately.
But right now, everything seems to be back to square one.
These days, the Xu Qiao he has learned is not as strong and unrestrained as it appears on the surface. Her arrogance also made her never do things like leaning against a man with her body.
Then why can't she be his choice.
At least compared to other beautiful skins, she is a little more cute than them.
It's not like they can't progress beyond desensitization.
During this long stalemate, Cheng Lang went from being passively held by her hand to holding a deep breath, enduring the torment and holding her back little by little.
Stephen said that the disease was not as difficult to overcome as he thought. If it takes one hundred steps to cure it, then 90% of his time is likely to be spent on the first step.
On the other hand, once the first step is taken, the remaining ninety-nine steps are not difficult.
It's a pity that "Duke Zhou is not beautiful", Xu Qiao just woke up when he held her back, stared at him for a few seconds, and then screamed "ah".
Cheng Lang immediately let go.
Xu Qiao crawled and hid in the corner of the bed in shock, and slapped on the ceiling light in the room: "A pervert! You big pervert! What are you doing to me?"
Cheng Lang calmed his shortness of breath, and said hoarsely, "I'm not..."
Xu Qiao hugged the pillow to protect her body, glaring at him angrily.
He was so angry, sweated, and his voice became hoarse, and he said that he had no unreasonable feelings for her
The more she thought about it, the more she panicked, hurriedly checked the clothes on her body, and at the same time filled her mind with the picture of Cheng Lang's mischievous treatment of her, she was so angry that she burst into tears: "Why are you like this—"
Cheng Lang raised his hands to prove his innocence: "Calm down, I just came to deliver a letter to you, you grabbed my hand first, maybe you can recall what you dreamed just now."
Xu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, then recalled with a twitch.
What did she dream about? Oh, she seems to have dreamed of a vault of banknotes. Someone told her that these belonged to her, but as soon as the words fell, the roof of the vault suddenly broke, and a strong wind blew in, and all the banknotes in the room were flying with the wind.
She anxiously went to plug the hole in the top of her head, holding on to the corner of the roof tightly. Then, a brute force came out of nowhere and pulled her away alive, and she just watched the banknotes fly out one by one...
"Remember?" Cheng Lang tentatively asked, "You are yelling not to leave, did you dream about being wronged?"
Isn't that right? The money in hand disappeared, it was so wronged!
Xu Qiao nodded and wiped the corners of her eyes: "It's really hard for me..."
Cheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief and put his hand down.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qiao suddenly raised her head again: "Wait a minute, raise your hand for me!"
Cheng Lang was angry and funny, and he raised his hand again with patience.
"I grab your hand, won't you let go?" she asked.
Cheng Lang choked.
In that case, even a man can't let go.
"I think you need it, so you can't do anything with a little effort." He replied.
"Then you just let me hold you honestly, why did you touch me instead?"
"..."
Xu Qiao began to cry again: "You just have lust for me."
Cheng Lang's head hurt a little: "I didn't..."
"You have it! If you have it, say you have it. If you dare to do it or not, what kind of man are you?"
"Okay, I have." Cheng Lang was annoyed by her crying, rubbed his ears and nodded.
"You admit it, you really are a pervert! What kind of man are you to do such a thing while someone is sick and asleep?"
"..."
Nothing is not a man, and being is not a man.
Anyway, he can't be a human anymore, right
Cheng Lang turned his head away, focused his eyes on the white wall for a moment, calmed himself down, looked at the tearful man on the bed again, and said in a controlled tone, "Can you stop crying?"
Xu Qiao is not really crying, but she has been suppressed for too long recently, and suddenly found an opening to vent, and used it to play out.
She shook her head: "No, I didn't cry at your house again, is it hindering you?"
"Excessive crying may lead to acute glaucoma."
Xu Qiao's tear glands twitched: "What the hell?"
"It means you might be blind."
"you're lying!"
"You can..." Cheng Lang turned his head and was about to point to the outside and say, "You can ask your friend." He saw three heads at a glance, and the two crooked on the left door frame were Yujin and Elio. The crooked one on the right side of the door frame is Gao Rui.
The three of them retreated in unison the moment they were caught.
Only then did Xu Qiao notice someone listening to the corner, her face collapsed in embarrassment, and she choked.
Cheng Lang straightened the back of his shirt, turned around and said to the door: "Miss Yu, can I trouble you to come in and wipe her face?"
"Ah, of course." Yu Jin walked to the bed with a wet tissue, sat down and wiped the corners of Xu Qiao's eyes.
Xu Qiao dried up her tears, but Cheng Lang was still blowing fiercely in her eyes, probably accusing others of being good-looking before, but not as good as dogs after.
Cheng Lang sighed: "I'll put the things in the drawer of the bedside table for you, I'll go first."
Xu Qiaofei, who walks slowly and doesn't give up his eyes.
Cheng Lang said goodbye to Yu Jin and Elio respectively, expressing his troubles, and left from the apartment building.
Gao Rui followed behind him, not daring to vent his anger until he got into the car before carefully turning his head and asking, "Are you okay just now?"
Cheng Lang leaned against the back of the rear seat, looked down at his hands, rubbed his fingers lightly a few times, and took a breath: "You can continue to try."
"That would be great!" Gao Rui was overjoyed at the moment, and encouraged him with the eyes of "sister, you go forward boldly", "Look at Miss Xu's temper, in the future, she is the only one who refuses to get close to you. If something happened between her and you, just rest assured!"
Cheng Lang glanced at him.
is not that right
Now he just wants to try to touch her, I'm afraid she won't let him try.
—
Unsurprisingly, Cheng Lang was blocked by Xu Qiao again.
It's not entirely her fault. The girl woke up from her sleep and found that her hand was being grabbed by a man who didn't get permission, and it was normal to cast a shadow.
After all, what she said was right, and he did have the idea of overstepping the rules at that time.
According to Xu Qiao's temper, in a short time, it is impossible to even talk to him nicely. At this time, if he proposes to take her back to Beicheng, the only possibility is to hit a wall.
Cheng Lang stayed in Milan for three days. He visited all the brands that should be visited in the surrounding cities. There was still a mess in the country. He really couldn't delay any longer, so he contacted Yujin on the fourth day after Xu Qiao hung him up.
To accommodate Yu Jin, the two met in a coffee shop not far from the Vittorio Emanuele II gallery.
When Cheng Lang met with people, he always had to make people wait. It was rare to be there first this time. On the contrary, Yu Jin said "sorry" when he came in a hurry: "The store is quite busy. A Chinese customer came just now. I originally wanted Qiao to receive it on my behalf, but she didn't seem to be willing. I can only communicate in person. So it's late."
Xu Qiao recuperated at home for two days, and returned to the studio to draw after her body recovered. Cheng Lang knew this well.
He nodded and asked her what to drink. After asking the waiter for coffee, he opened up the topic of today's meeting following her words: "She doesn't want to receive Chinese guests because she is worried about being recognized."
Yu Jin was taken aback.
"Tell Miss Yu the truth, ever since she came to your store, I have sent people to watch her nearby, so as not to encounter her in the circle who know her in Beicheng."
Yu Jin frowned: "I guess she might not want to reunite with her old friend, but is this serious enough?"
Cheng Lang Xu leaned on the back of the chair: "Miss Yu may not know much about her past. As an insider, I don't think I made a fuss. She is not hiding in an unknown town at the ends of the earth, but Milan, the capital of fashion. The daily passenger flow of the Manuele II Gallery may not be lower than that of the Great Wall of China, and those who will come here are all her former "similars". As long as one person knows her whereabouts, the entire circle of celebrities in the North City Everyone will know her recent situation, which is very unacceptable to her."
Yu Jin vaguely guessed something: "You asked me out today and asked to keep it from her, just to say that she is not suitable to stay here any longer?"
Cheng Lang nodded: "I want to take her away."
Yu Jin smiled: "I know Mr. Cheng's background, and I also know the behavior style of people like you. If you mean, you want to take her back to Beicheng and raise her up like a canary for your fun, I won't cooperate with you. I took Qiao in because I valued her ability and sincerely thought that she could achieve success in jewelry design."
"Don't miss Yu have no selfishness?" Cheng Lang smiled faintly, "The fundamental purpose of your choosing her is not to hope that she will create fame and fortune for your brand?"
Yu Jin paused for a moment: "It's undeniable, but while she creates fame and fortune for me, she will also get corresponding fame and fortune. This is a win-win situation, and it's much better than being wasted by you."
"I didn't intend to waste her talent." Cheng Lang suppressed his smile, "I admit that before this trip to Milan, I didn't know that she was talented in painting and jewelry design, and even so far, standing in a From a businessman's point of view, I'm still not sure whether the so-called 'talent' in her is really of such high commercial value. But I can make an assumption about it."
"Assuming she doesn't have this ability, then she doesn't have to risk being ridiculed after being recognized by you, wasting time and energy. And assuming she has, she doesn't have to work hard for your brand, she can directly create her own brand. Brand. Now is no longer the era of 'the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys', resources, connections, contacts, I can provide her with much more convenience than Ms. Yu."
"You want to help her?"
"To be precise, it's investment." Cheng Lang corrected her, "I'm a businessman in this matter."
"In that case, why did you seek me?" Yu Jin was puzzled.
"Because she has a prejudice against me." Cheng Lang took the folder from Gao Rui's hand, pressed it on the coffee table, and gently pushed it to the opposite side, "I learned that before Miss Yu came to Italy to develop, she owned a The jewelry studio, which has been abandoned for many years and has been neglected. I want to buy it."
"Then you want me to suggest that Alice take care of this studio?"
"Yes, on the premise that she doesn't know that I have bought it, you can let her choose whether she wants to."
Yu Jin shook her head: "I can sell the studio to you, but she has the right to know."
"Maybe Miss Yu understands couples quarreling? You have been married to Elio for many years, so you should be very experienced in this area. When you quarrel with your husband and see everything he does through colored glasses, even if he sends out You still think he harbored evil intentions for a kind act. But when you look back in the future, you will always find that he did not intend to harm you. "
Yu Jin was surprised: "Qiao said you are not her boyfriend."
"It could have been, but I did something wrong." Cheng Lang said, "So I would like to ask you to do me a favor and give me a chance to break the ice with her. She will always know who the boss of the studio is, and when she If you know the truth, if you turn around and leave, I will not stop her. China is a society ruled by law, and she has personal freedom and the right to choose. If you are worried, you can keep in touch with her at any time."
"Compared to Milan, there are more of her old friends in Beicheng, and she probably won't want to see them before she achieves results."
"Since I have the ability to ensure that she will not deal with them in Milan, I am more capable of ensuring that she lives in a fairy tale world in Beicheng."
Yu Jin was slightly taken aback by his last words, and said silently: "But why is it the fairy tale world in Beicheng instead of other places? You still have selfish motives."
"Of course I have selfish intentions." Cheng Lang laughed, "I have already said that I am a businessman in this matter, not a philanthropist."
He never did business at a loss.
If he creates a utopia for her, she must go home with him.
