Faced with this unexpected gift, Qian Heng reminded himself that for a successful legal person, the most precious quality in facing anything is calmness! Then peel it off and find out the truth!
He looked at the box of condoms, lost in thought...
Gradually, a conjecture finally took shape in his mind—
Cheng Yao likes him!
She really has unreasonable thoughts about herself! ! !
After thinking about it according to this setting, Qian Heng suddenly understood everything, and unfolded all the complicated clues in detail, restoring the truth for him.
I really can't see that Cheng Yao usually looks very well-behaved, but she treats love so wildly.
And it was also up to this moment that Qian Heng felt that his perplexity that was not normal today had been resolved. It seems that I am a prophet, and before Cheng Yao confessed so passionately, she has already felt the crisis from her sticky eyes on her, and she is sensitive to the clues, so she is a little restless.
As for why you are upset. Of course it was because he didn't know how to reject her.
Office romance, very unprofessional! Very unreliable! Absolutely not!
But Cheng Yao, as the assistant lawyer of her team, if she directly refuses such a wild confession to her, it will probably completely dampen her self-confidence and self-esteem, right? Will she not be able to withstand the blow and just resign and leave
Once she resigned in embarrassment and indignation after being rejected, wouldn't all the previous cultivation of her be in vain? And didn't she just promise to clean the villa for herself for a month? With this refusal, the villa will be cleaned, and cooking will probably be impossible.
It's a little tricky.
For a moment, Qian Heng fell into distress.
—
When Qian Heng walked over with a serious face, Cheng Yao was stuffing macarons into her mouth.
"Cheng Yao, come here."
Looking at Qian Heng's serious face, Cheng Yao was so frightened that Macaron almost choked. She followed Qian Heng tremblingly to the stairs away from the living room and all her colleagues.
"Isn't it my prenuptial agreement that was changed?"
Qian Hengyi pursed his lips tightly: "No, it's a more serious matter, I believe you know it in your heart."
Cheng Yao thumped, she had done it so unknowingly, how the hell could she find out? ?
"I'm sorry, boss!" She immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake, "Your pot of succulent actually rotted when I brought it over. I rescued it for a long time, but I couldn't save it. I was afraid that you would be sad, so I gave it to you later. I bought yours and replaced it myself. It looks quite similar to me. I thought you wouldn’t notice it. Who knew that the boss has such a golden eye... "
"What?!" Qian Heng raised the decibel, his tone was full of astonishment, "So my pot of succulent died?!"
"..."
Cheng Yao wanted to cry, but it turned out that what the fuck Qian Heng came to question was not about this! He didn't know it at all! I really surrendered myself!
Cheng Yao had to be reprimanded by Qian Heng for three minutes because she replaced Suo Rou without authorization and cheated the boss. Cheng Yao was so trained that she forgot to ask Qian Heng what he wanted to talk to her about.
Qian Heng also seemed to have forgotten. Because Cheng Yao heard him ask a little unnaturally—
"Didn't sleep well last night?"
"Huh?" Cheng Yao touched her face, her dark circles seemed serious, she nodded, not doubting him, "Yes, I didn't sleep well." The floor heating was broken, it was so cold.
"Is this skirt of yours specially worn?"
Cheng Yao nodded. Qian Heng can see it!
Qian Heng looked at Cheng Yao with an uncertain expression. He was silent for a moment, and then said meaningfully—
"Cheng Yao, I am not only a non-marriageist, but also a DINK."
Cheng Yao:? ?
Are you unmarried and dink? Do you require your subordinates to also be unmarried and dink? ?
Probably not...
Just as Cheng Yao was speculating about the meaning of Qian Heng's words like an imperial decree, and was weighing whether to make a statement that even if she got married and had children in the future, her work would not be affected, Qian Heng changed the subject.
He glanced at Cheng Yao, then quickly lowered his gaze, blinking his eyelashes twice: "Is your gift serious?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Yao became excited, and she nodded desperately to express her sincerity: "Yes, I carefully selected it for the boss! I hope you like it!"
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yao added: "In addition to the gift box, I also personally made a cake for the boss! As soon as I brought it, I put it in the refrigerator with Bao Rui. I thought it would be a dessert for my colleagues after dinner, but I didn't." Thinking that Wu par bought a special dessert, the comparison between my cake and the French baker is a bit inferior, but! My heart for the boss is all made in this cake by myself!"
It's a pity that Cheng Yao's enthusiastic statement did not arouse Qian Heng's feedback at all. He just gave Cheng Yao a subtle look, and then turned his gaze away.
"I didn't expect you to be bluffing when you usually look at it, but you hide your thoughts so deeply at critical moments."
Cheng Yao was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Qian Heng probably felt that he hadn't shown much support for the boss on weekdays, and it was at this critical moment that he saw it through the carefully prepared birthday present. I have a heart for him!
At this time, if you don't strike while the iron is hot, when will you do it again? !
Cheng Yao almost made a quick decision: "Boss, there are some things, although I don't say it, and I may not be able to see it at ordinary times, but in my heart, it has already taken root and sprouted, but in the end I found the right one for your birthday." The timing is just showing, haven’t you heard a word? Moisturizing things silently, some emotions, that’s it…”
After Qian Heng listened, he was completely silent.
After a long time, Cheng Yao heard his voice again, the voice was still calm, but I don't know if it was Cheng Yao's illusion, I always felt that there was a slight trill in the end of his calm tone.
"Cheng Yao, in this world, not everything can come true."
"It's not everything. If you pay, you will definitely get a response and gain."
Cheng Yao raised her head and met Qian Heng's gaze. For some reason, there was a trace of pity in his gaze, but when Cheng Yao stared hard at his eyes again, Qian Heng turned his head away, avoiding He opened Cheng Yao's sight.
What is this and what
Cheng Yao was very puzzled at the same time, but at the same time, she was also very anxious. It was approaching the end of the new year, and Qian Heng was suddenly so unpredictable. She always felt that something unfortunate was about to happen to her.
Could it be that he was going to find an excuse to deduct his year-end bonus? !
Or is he going to take back the promised benefits because he secretly exchanged the meat? !
Just when Cheng Yao was trembling and completely uncertain about Qian Heng's tricks, Qian Heng spoke again.
This time the topic jumped even more.
He coughed, and his voice was very unnatural: "When you were in school, you didn't learn legal logic very well, did you?"
Hey? ? ? Know all this? ? ? My legal logic was taught in English at that time because the school adopted English teaching, and the teacher also purchased American textbooks. As a result, Cheng Yao's English was not very good, and the whole course was in a fog, and it was really not good.
"Boss, have you read my report card?" Cheng Yao was a little worried, "My grades in this course are indeed not high, which lowered my G-spot, but I didn't cheat like some people. I provided it to us. Transcripts and personal resumes are true... ”
Qian Heng didn't say anything, he just pursed his lips tightly, then nodded with an unpredictable expression.
"Well, you really didn't learn well. You want to have a baby, but you still use contraception. This is completely contradictory and illogical."
Cheng Yao:? ?
Could it be that when I was on a business trip to City B last time, I was bored watching "The Overbearing President's Running Bride with the Ball" on the plane and Qian Heng saw it? ? ? The male protagonist is the kind of person who "give me a baby" yesterday and "take medicine, I don't want to have any remaining problems" today, a crazy psychopath. If it weren't for Qin Qin's strong recommendation that it's good-looking, and the subsequent plots are great after the first third, Cheng Yao wouldn't have persisted until the fifth chapter!
"Don't think about these messy things all day when you have time, even if you are a woman, you have to be ambitious."
Cheng Yao thought desperately, it seems that Qian Heng saw the novel she was reading...
Qian Heng took a look at Cheng Yao, and added reservedly: "I appreciate career-minded women."
Oh, good... Cheng Yao thought, next time I read the classic court cases...
After Qian Heng finished speaking, he glared at Cheng Yao before leaving.
Cheng Yao looked at the back of him leaving, and she was very confused. She felt that her legal logic was probably fine, but Qian Heng's legal logic might have failed. After all, what he said tonight was really completely wrong There is no logic at all!
Forget it, he's already twenty-eight, don't argue with him!
Cheng Yao comforted herself for a while, and then happily ran to Bao Rui to play games together.
It's just that the game hasn't been played for a long time, and Tan Ying came over with a mobile phone and interrupted them with a gossip face.
She had a mysterious face, looked around like a secret agent, and then lowered her voice: "Recently, Wang Lu and Li Minglei fell in love in the institute."
Bao Rui was startled: "Is it true? Didn't Wang Lu just break up not long ago? She is two years older than Li Minglei, right? I remember Li Minglei told me not to love siblings?"
Tan Ying gave Bao Rui a white look: "You haven't heard a saying that homophobia means being in the closet. It's the same. Those who fear sister and brother love actually like it very much deep down in their hearts."
Both Bao Rui and Cheng Yao expressed disbelief.
"Hey? What expression do you two have?" Tan Ying was angry, "I have a reason, okay? You take out your mobile phone and look at the group email sent by Sister Zhu just now."
Cheng Yao took out her mobile phone and glanced at her mailbox, and found that not long ago, Sister Zhu sent a notice on lawyer etiquette and dress training, and not long after, she sent another one on how to balance a lawyer's personal feelings and Working lecture notice.
Bao Rui looked suspicious: "Although this training notice is a bit inexplicable, what does it have to do with Li Minglei and Wang Lu?"
Tan Ying clicked on the email: "Look, in this lecture email on how to balance a lawyer's personal feelings and work, there is a brief outline of the lecture in the attachment."
"so?"
"Which lecture do you usually have a lecture outline?" Tan Ying looked confident, "Everyone, you are lawyers, you can't let go of any unusual clues, okay?! I, the future well-known big par lawyer Tan , I had an idea, and felt that this is not easy! So I followed the clues and studied the lecture outline carefully!"
"The result is terrible! Look at it! This outline, '1. Lawyers, the disadvantages of falling in love with colleagues; 2. Lawyers, the disadvantages of falling in love with colleagues in the same firm; Lawyers, how to deal with the embarrassment after being rejected; five, new lawyers strive for the best practice golden three years'."
After Tan Ying finished reading, she tapped on the desktop: "Look, it's obvious that this lecture is held for individual colleagues. I was afraid of being wrong at first, so I went to Sister Zhu's place to ask for confirmation. Sure enough, Sister Zhu said , This lecture was not arranged at all before, it was Qian Par who was at her birthday party today, suddenly called her over, and said to arrange this lecture next week, even the outline was directly dictated by Qian Par."
Bao Rui seemed to be moved, and a suspicious expression appeared on his face.
Tan Ying strikes while the iron is hot: "Think about it, when did Qian Par pay attention to lectures and training? And he suddenly arranged a lecture on this topic at the birthday party. He must have bumped into something at the birthday party! He must have discovered our There's an office romance in the office!"
Cheng Yao couldn't help interjecting: "But that doesn't prove that Wang Lu and Li Minglei are in love, it might be someone else."
"Have you been in a relationship recently?"
Cheng Yao shook her head: "No. I have been exhausted by work."
"Then think about it, there are only three single women in our institute, you, me, and Wang Lu who just broke up. Then you and I are not in a relationship, so there is only Wang Lu; and the men? , Wu par's emotional state is a mystery, but I think he belongs to him, pass; then only Qian par and Li Minglei are single now! Can Qian par fall in love? Impossible! Because he has been in love with his Qian par Let’s go! Then there is only one suspect!”
The seven characters "The murderer is Li Minglei" almost appeared on Tan Ying's face.
Cheng Yao looked at Li Minglei and Wang Lu who were playing cards together not far away, and felt that the aura of the two of them did not seem to have sparks, but she still didn't believe it: "You don't have to be single to fall in love. ? Will a family like Bao Rui suddenly cheat on you?"
"Cheng Yao, don't talk nonsense!" Bao Rui was the first to jump up, "A few years ago, there was a male lawyer who cheated in our firm, but the ex-wife and mistress came to the firm, and Qian par couldn't be bothered. Later, although there was no explicit prohibition, basically if there is any lawyer in the firm who has an extramarital affair, once the evidence is convincing, he will be fired immediately.”
All right, Cheng Yao took another look at Li Minglei and Wang Lu, they were avoiding suspicion, but they were still smashed by Qian Heng, she was quite sympathetic: "But our institute didn't stipulate that office romances are not allowed, right? Why? Do you want to hold lectures with such a great fanfare and gossip about other young couples?"
"I don't know." Tan Ying was also a little puzzled, "I heard that the office romance money par doesn't care. It doesn't affect the work."
Bao Rui leaned forward and said in a low voice, "I think I know the reason." He sneaked a glance at Qian Heng, who was not far away, who was chatting with Wu Jun with an expressionless expression on his face, "I heard that Qian Par's last blind date, Huang gone."
Tan Ying was excited: "Hey?!"
"Anyway, it's reliable news, it must be dirty." Bao Rui looked sympathetic, "Qian par is not easy, he is already twenty-eight years old, and he still retains his virginity, if this continues, he will be about to die at the age of thirty. He knows magic. Maybe he will be lonely too. He wants to find someone to accompany him, but who knows that the reality is so bleak. He is not used to office romances now, and I think it is understandable. I have lost my relationship, but I still have to look at the office The young lovers in the movie are flirting and cursing right under their noses. In contrast, don’t you feel that you are in a worse situation? You must beat the mandarin ducks and break them up!”
"..."
Although Cheng Yao felt that Qian Heng was not such a person, she felt a little suspicious after being brainwashed by Tan Ying and Bao Rui.
After all, today's Qian Heng is indeed very abnormal. He told himself that messy and illogical thing, and he did admit that he was very satisfied with the blind date before. Could it be true that the failure of the blind date was so stimulated that he behaved abnormally?
Before Cheng Yao could figure it out, her cell phone vibrated.
When she saw it, it was Qian Heng's WeChat—
"I hope you keep your eyes shut."
"You've sneaked a look at me six times in ten minutes."
Cheng Yao:? ?
When Tan Ying was gossiping just now, she subconsciously glanced at Qian Heng a few times, but six in ten minutes
Wait, if Qian Heng didn't look at himself, how would he know that he looked at him so many times in ten minutes? ? ? Is he trying to find a reason to deduct his year-end bonus again? !
