Chapter 70 - The Inexplicable Cold War
Su Jinyi rejected her subconsciously, but the driver insisted and accepted, the driver called for help and asked her if she wanted to call for another car. Just as Su Jinyi was about to answer, her phone in her bag rang.
The caller ID was He Ruiting, so she picked up the call.
"Where?" Su Jinyi asked before she could even open her mouth.
"I'm on my way back." Su Jinyi replied.
"How much longer?" He Ruiting asked worriedly.
"Eh …" Su Jinyi hesitated and said, "It might be troublesome, the car broke down."
"Wait for me there." After He Ruiting finished speaking, he did not give Su Jinyi the chance to speak and immediately hung up the phone.
Su Jinyi looked at the phone that was hung up, her heart was deep in thought, she quickly regained her senses, and said to the driver: "Thank you, my friend is coming to pick me up."
He Ruiting arrived very quickly. When he arrived, the road rescue car was tying up the taxi.
Today, He Ruiting had a bit of a taste of what Su Jinyi felt when she returned home everyday.
had never experienced that kind of heart-wrenching feeling before. He was a little panicked in his heart, what if there came a day when he suddenly lost her in his world? What would happen? He could not imagine it, and did not dare to think about it.
He Ruiting walked to her side, and looked at her from head to toe, confirming that she was not injured, then held her hand and walked towards the car.
Just like that, Su Jinyi was grabbed by He Ruiting. His heart was not filled with thoughts like before, it was filled with the news photos. Although Su Jinyi chose to believe in him, she couldn't control her wild imagination. She felt that it was a little awkward, but she had no way to display it.
Very quickly, the two of them reached home. Su Jinyi did not bother with him, and did not know what kind of attitude she should use to face him. Thus, she went straight up the stairs and locked herself in her room.
Looking at the back of Su Jinyi's figure, He Ruiting seemed to have thought of something, but he did not chase after him.
The two of them seemed to have automatically entered the cold war, Su Jinyi would not take the initiative to look for him, and He Ruiting was only silently doing something. Their current mode of interaction was just like how it was before, no, it was even more awkward than before.
This pattern of interaction lasted for two days. It did not worsen, but neither did it improve.
"Su Jinyi, this is the first time you have made such a mistake today!" In the office, under Su Jinyi's direct leadership, Secretary threw a folder on her table and roared loudly.
"Sorry, I'll fix it right away." Su Jinyi lowered her head, an apologetic attitude filled with sincerity. In the past two days, she had indeed not been in a good state.
"Correct? "You've said it more than twenty times in the past two days!" Secretary scolded loudly. Everyone in the office took care of their own matters, but the gossip's eyes kept sneaking glances at them from time to time.
"I will pay attention. I won't make any more mistakes." Even if Su Jinyi had lowered her head, she could still feel everyone's gazes.
"If you do it again, pack your things and leave!" Secretary looked at her. He was so angry that he couldn't find any words to criticize her.
"Jin Yi, are you alright?" Once the Secretary left, Xiao Qiu hurried over and asked in concern.
"I'm fine." Su Jinyi sat down and weakly shook her head.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Would you like to take a leave of absence to go back and rest? " Seeing that she was not in a good state lately, Xiao Qiu's expression did not look too good either, and she felt a little worried.
"No need, I'm fine. It's probably because I haven't had a good sleep recently."
She really did not rest well these two days. The matter of He Ruiting was constantly at a standstill, and during these two days, she was constantly thinking of ways to break their current situation. If she continued to be like this, she was afraid that she would become depressed.
"Hey, Manager Duan is calling you." Just then, Xiao Gao walked over, knocked on Su Jinyi's table, and said those words with a cold face. Then, without caring if she heard anything or not, she left immediately.
Su Jinyi was startled, then stood up and walked towards Duan Yunxuan's office. Xiao Qiu looked at her figure with sympathy, as if he had the feeling that she was going to the execution grounds. He silently prayed for her, hoping that she wouldn't be scolded very badly.
Su Jinyi stood at the door and knocked, after getting permission, she walked in.
"Manager Duan, you're looking for me?" Su Jinyi asked.
"Sit," Duan Yunxuan pointed to the chair at the side, and said, "You don't have to call me Manager Duan, it sounds a little awkward to me."
"This is a company, there's still a difference." Su Jinyi laughed and sat down.
"Haven't you made up with him yet?" Duan Yunxuan did not bother to bother with her and directly asked.
"You didn't call me here to talk about business?" Su Jinyi asked in surprise.
"If I don't talk to you about this, and you've never been able to do your job well, I might as well let you go home and rest." Duan Yunxuan said this calmly.
Su Jinyi didn't know how to reply. She lowered her head and stayed silent, not knowing what to think.
"Looks like this problem is quite serious." Looking at her, Duan Yunxuan could roughly guess the current situation they were in.
"I just don't know how I should face him. Although I've chosen to believe him, there's a knot in my heart and I don't know what to do." Su Jinyi slowly said.
"Then why don't you just talk to him?" Duan Yunxuan said.
"What do you want to say?" Su Jinyi put on an expression of asking for help and looked at him.
Actually, it was not like Su Jinyi had never thought of talking to him, but she didn't know how to answer. If she were to ask him, what kind of attitude would he have? Explain it to yourself? Su Jinyi felt that it shouldn't be.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it. If you have anything you want to know, ask directly." Duan Yunxuan really did not understand what kind of joke this couple was playing.
It was clearly a simple matter, but it was complicated by them. It had already been a few days, yet it still hadn't returned to normal. On the contrary, it was getting more and more serious.
"It's not as easy as you make it to be." Su Jinyi said in a dejected manner.
"How about I help you?" Duan Yunxuan rolled his eyes as he started to notice something in his heart.
"Are you sure you have a way?" Su Jinyi looked at him suspiciously, as if she didn't really believe him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not that unreliable, am I?" Duan Yunxuan said as the corner of his mouth twitched.
