Chapter 424: Are you interested in other men?
Chapter 424: Are you interested in other men?
There was a chill in the president's office on the top floor.
I don’t know if it’s because the spring temperature is not warm enough, or because the air conditioner was turned on before summer, but as soon as Qiao Ruyi entered the room, she felt a chill.
A man in a neat dark-colored suit stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window with one hand in his pocket. His back was tall and his posture was as straight as a pine tree.
Qiao Ruyi thought that he seemed to be sober now.
"Mr. Ling."
Her voice was gentle, without any hint of intimacy with him, "I'm here to report on my work."
The man in front of the window had deep and unfathomable eyes. When he heard her distant words "Mr. Ling", his eyes dimmed again.
He didn't remember how he came back from the bar, but he remembered that he held her tightly after vomiting in the bathroom. When he woke up, there was no one in the bed, and there was no sign of her lying beside him.
She didn't sleep with him and went to the company before he woke up.
He turned around and looked at the person who came.
She wore a thin black sweater with a fishtail skirt of the same color, which just revealed a part of her fair calves.
The thick, long curly hair like seaweed makes the small face look even more delicate and charming.
However, her cold eyes could no longer see the joy she had for him before.
Song Yanzhi's words "Love always comes and goes quickly" echoed in his ears.
Qiao Ruyi's love for him was really gone?
"sit down."
He walked to the sofa and sat down, taking out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table in front of him.
Just as he was about to light it, he glanced at the person who deliberately sat opposite him, and threw the cigarette in his mouth onto the coffee table.
"Boss Ling, this is the work schedule."
Qiao Ruyi turned on the computer and placed it in front of him. "All the samples have been checked. Once the accessories are designed by Qiao Group, we can start preparing for the show—"
"You didn't sleep with me last night?" Ling Che stared at her with deep eyes and interrupted her.
Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes and looked at his cold and handsome face. It seemed that he remembered nothing after drinking.
"This is the company, let's talk about work first." Qiao Ruyi continued to let him look at the computer and report on work matters.
"Do you really have to do this with me?" Ling Che leaned on the sofa and glared at her.
Qiao Ruyi didn't answer and continued talking about work.
A large hand reached out and rudely closed the computer in front of her. Ling Che's breath pressed in, "Is that the bracelet on your hand? New?"
As soon as she entered the office, Ling Che noticed a new bracelet on her fair arm, which she had never worn before.
She said she didn’t like the jewel bracelet he gave her, so she bought a new one?
Qiao Ruyi glanced at the bracelet on her left wrist and said, "It was given to me by a friend."
"Friend?" Ling Che moved closer to her, his unfathomable eyes examining the uncomfortable expression on her face. "Which friend? Song Xilan, or Fang Ran?"
Qiao Ruyi suddenly raised her head and met his gaze. She said impatiently, "I've already told you that I don't like being controlled by you. Can I have some private space? Do you have to ask about a bracelet given by a friend?"
Ling Che stared at her for a few seconds, then withdrew his body. "Okay, I won't ask. I just want to ask one thing. Just tell me if it's true or not."
He looked into Qiao Ruyi's eyes and asked, "Did Cheng Yimu send it?"
Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.
A short chuckle escaped Ling Che's chest. She could have said no, but she didn't.
That's the default.
"You didn't like the bracelet I gave you, but the broken chain Cheng Yimu gave you touched your heart."
He spoke sarcastically, but Qiao Ruyi did not respond.
In an instant, the air pressure around him dropped a lot.
Ling Che had been thinking that if Qiao Ruyi had just lashed out at him like she used to, it would have proven she had no one else in her heart. On the contrary, the fact that she was silent now, looking guilty, made him think too much.
You are no longer interested in him, so you are interested in other men?
At this time, someone knocked on the office door again.
Shen Qian's voice came from outside the door, "Boss Ling——"
"roll!"
Before Shen Qian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ling Che's harsh voice.
The next second, the office door was opened.
Ling Che's anger rose, and he looked over impatiently with a stern look in his eyes, "You don't understand what I'm saying, right?"
"Ling Che." Xu Zhaozhao stood at the door. "It's me. Why are you so angry?"
Xu Zhaozhao walked in and happened to see another person sitting on the sofa, "Ruyi?"
"What's going on?" She felt the atmosphere was not right and walked over to look at the two of them. "Are you discussing a disagreement about work?"
"I'm here to report on my work." Qiao Ruyi smiled politely at her, then looked at the stern-faced man on the sofa. "Boss Ling, I've finished my work report. We can talk again if you have any questions."
"As you wish!" Xu Zhaozhao held her back, looking at her with a smile, then looking at the man with a strange expression, "Don't argue about work. You're husband and wife, don't let work hurt your relationship. How about this, let's go out for dinner together after get off work, it's my treat."
Qiao Ruyi smiled and refused, "Zhao Zhao, thank you for your kindness, but I have an appointment with a friend tonight."
Friends again?
Ling Che chuckled silently.
"Is that so? You're not going?" Xu Zhaozhao looked at Ling Che, "Then how about—"
"Okay."
Ling Che stood up and looked at Xu Zhaozhao, "Let's have dinner together after get off work."
Qiao Ruyi's heart was shocked, she knew Ling Che did it on purpose.
A large hand pulled her wrist, and a man's deep voice came from above her, "Are you going?"
"I have an appointment." Qiao Ruyi calmly broke free from his hand, "You go with Zhao Zhao."
She said and strode out of the office.
Watching her walk away without looking back, the coldness on Ling Che's face grew deeper and deeper.
Xu Zhaozhao stood behind him, glanced at his back, then looked in the direction where Qiao Ruyi left, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
Sure enough, there was a problem between them.
......
Qiao Ruyi spent the entire afternoon numbing herself with work.
She kept drawing the design draft, keeping an eye on the project team's progress, and trying not to think about Ling Che.
She felt upset when she thought about Ling Che going to have dinner alone with Xu Zhaozhao after get off work.
However, she was not in a position to complain.
After finally waiting until the end of get off work, Qiao Ruyi left the office in a panic.
On the way back in the car, her cell phone rang.
Just by looking at the caller ID, you can know what the other party is going to say.
"grandfather?"
She picked up the phone, her voice hoarse.
"Girl, how have you been these days?" Ling Gu asked her gently.
She responded softly, "Yeah."
Ling Gu asked straight to the point, "Have you made a decision?"
Qiao Ruyi's grip on the phone tightened, and she opened her mouth with difficulty, "Give me some time."
When Ling Gu heard her say this, he knew that she had made up her mind.
"Thank you, girl." Ling Gu sighed deeply over there.
Just as the other party was about to hang up, Qiao Ruyi suddenly said, "Grandpa."
"Is there anything else?" Ling Gu asked.
"Can I ask you a question?" Qiao Ruyi bit her lip. "Who do you want Ling Che to be with after I divorce him?"
