The phone rang for a full minute, but the caller didn't answer.

The moment she hung up, Lin Nuo felt someone used a sharp and ice-cold object to stab her heart.

It was painful.

After thinking for a few seconds, he edited the message: Have you explained it clearly to your family?

However, as he thought of something, he deleted all the words that had been typed.

The people from the Design Department all encouraged Laan Silu. There were even some who said: "Go Director Laan and seize him as soon as possible."

"I'll treat you guys to a meal when the time comes."

When Lin Nuo and Laan Silu left side by side, the entire Design Department was bustling with noise and excitement. Only the director of design had a slightly gloomy and cold expression, looking at Lin Nuo's back, he also had resentment.

On the third floor of Jiang Xiang Tower, Sichuan Fragrance's new store was open. It had a strong local speciality, which made Lin Nuo like it here the first thing she saw.

Lunch time was full, and the view outside the window was very suitable for a couple to talk about love.

"How's the taste?" Laan Silu helped Lin Nuo pick up a bowl of food, "Try this."

Lin Nuo was almost done eating: "Director Laan, you haven't even eaten, I've already eaten enough."

"You're too thin, so you should eat more." Laan Silu smiled especially gently.

This kind of smile made Lin Nuo think of one word — — Xiangyang was born.

It was really warm, but somehow it felt like something was missing.

After looking at the time, Lin Nuo suddenly opened her mouth: "Director Laan, I have something to discuss with you."

"Yes, what is it?"

"That's right …"

Just as she opened her mouth, Lin Nuo suddenly saw a familiar figure flash past at the corner of the corridor in the hall.

It was Qiao Shenyu.

Why would Qiao Shenyu, who had disappeared for almost half a month, appear in this restaurant?

Or was his eyes playing tricks on him?

Seeing her frown, Laan Silu was a little worried: "Nuo, are you unwell?"

"I've had a little cold in the past few days. I need to go to the washroom."

Without giving Laan Silu a chance to speak, Lin Nuo stood up and walked towards the direction of the corridor with quick steps.

The corridor was deep and serene, she did not see Qiao Shenyu even at the end. She did not give up and even looked outside the male restroom for half a minute.

Lin Nuo didn't understand what she was expecting and bitterly smiled before entering the female restroom.

He was seeing things.

She had never been one to receive kindness from others, and would easily feel guilty in her heart. It was probably because she felt guilty for causing Qiao Shenyu to be removed from his duties.

Yes, she just wanted to make sure he had an explanation with his family.

After coming out from the bathroom, Lin Nuo was about to return to the hall, but a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed her wrist.

The opponent's strength was very strong. With a tug, she staggered and fell onto a firm chest.

In an instant, the fragrance of tea filled his nostrils.

It really was him!

Raising his head, the man's exquisite and harsh face appeared in the depths of his eyes. She said with certainty, "It really is you."

It had not been half a month and the weather was getting better, but Qiao Shenyu's aura seemed to have become much colder.

"Are you angry?" Lin Nuo stabbed him right in the face without holding back.

Qiao Shenyu was a little angry. He thought that he had hidden it well, but it had still been seen through by her with just a glance.

Not only that, she composed herself and said, "Why didn't you talk it over with the family?"

The higher ups of the Blue Ocean Group had not changed, he was not reinstated.

Qiao Shenyu was frustrated. He also knew, she actually knew again!

Narrowing his eyes, Qiao Shenyu bit down hard on his teeth and moved his temples. Then, he pulled Lin Nuo roughly into the hallway.

The thick and heavy fire door separated the corridor from the escape. Qiao Shenyu locked the fire door from the others and used all his strength to lift his right hand and place it against the fire door.

Her wrist being pressed against the door hurt Lin Nuo, without waiting for her to struggle and scream pain, Qiao Shenyu's angry voice sounded out: "You called me just to ask me to come and see you and Laan Silu happily having lunch with a show of love? "Hmm?"

The man's voice had a mixture of restraint and suppression. His anger was deep, but it did not fully erupt.

Lin Nuo endured the pain on his wrist, and met his hidden anger with her eyes.

"What does' not speak 'mean? Didn't you say you could say it just now? " He laughed lightly, his anger becoming even more intense than before, "Oh, if you don't say it, let me guess, after you earned fifty million from me, don't tell me you're planning to spend another ten million to raise Laan Silu?"

"Is that so? "Hmm?"

The more he asked, the more insulting it was. The more he laughed, the more his anger flared up.

Lin Nuo originally planned to explain herself, but she was unable to do so at this moment. The happiness she had felt just now from smelling his body's scent was slowly extinguished by his words, until it disappeared bit by bit.

"Silence?" Qiao Shenyu flew into a rage, and used his other hand to pinch her chin and tiptoe high, "Silence is silent.

"Why don't we call Laan Silu along to discuss whether it's better for him, or for me?"

The more he spoke, the more extreme it got, and Lin Nuo's eyes gradually filled with a layer of anger.

She asked: "Qiao Shenyu, do you really have to be so mean?"

"If I'm not right, you can refute me!" Qiao Shenyu tried his best to pull back his rationality. It was clear that his anger was greater, and his rationality had failed completely.

The rose and the large diamond ring from that day were so dazzling, the comments from the masses on Weibo provoked his nerves even more, and the intimate conversation between her and Chen Xinghui broke his heart.

He had been waiting for her to explain.

That day, when her legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground and was supported by Laan Silu, the first thing she did was explain.

This time, she didn't mention a single thing about such a big matter. She clearly knew that he believed that she had never done anything when she had gotten a room with someone before, but this time she didn't say a word.

It wasn't easy for her to get a call from him, but she actually saw Laan Silu eating a very intimate meal with her. Laan Silu gave her some food, and she even gave him a beautiful smile.

Did he want to show it to him on purpose?

Heh, it was as if the story from eight years ago was being replayed.

"Lin Nuo, is your heart made of stone?"

His voice was so soft that it sounded like he was afraid of waking someone up from a dream.

And he might be the man in the dream.

Lin Nuo's lips tightly pursed. Qiao Shenyu seemed to have predicted that she wouldn't speak again, and he suddenly laughed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. You are my financial backer, and I don't have a job or a place to go, so I still use the money you gave me. I shouldn't have provoked you like this."

Right at the moment when the other party released her hand, Lin Nuo suddenly exerted force and fiercely pushed Qiao Shenyu backwards against the wall. She took a step forward and approached him, her index finger pressing onto the spot on his chest where his heart was, and said word by word, "Qiao Shenyu, this is not fair!"

Qiao Shenyu was confused as to why he said that, but he immediately turned to knock on the fire door.

The moment the fire door was pulled open, another sound came from the corridor. Lin Nuo walked in large strides, not stopping for even a second.

The door closed and the world was silent.
