The cafeteria wasn't far from work. I didn't choose the elevator, I chose the stairs instead.
I looked at the staircase in front of me and made a somewhat cautious suggestion. After all, Cheng He and I had known each other for less than a day, so I wasn't too clear on Cheng He's personality.
Just as I was about to go up the stairs, I saw Cheng He look behind me.
Just a moment ago, this lass said that she was in a hurry to go to work and now that she was exposed, I looked at Cheng He with a slight headache. As expected, his expression isn't good.
After climbing a few flights of stairs, I thought about it and opened my mouth.
"You and Mengmeng … Is there any misunderstanding between us? "
Hearing me say that, Cheng He looked at me as if he didn't know what to say.
I didn't think he'd be able to talk at once, either, waiting for him to make up his mind.
"No..."
Cheng He thought about it carefully, and said as if he didn't know anything.
Seeing my disbelieving eyes, Cheng He immediately became anxious, and his white face turned red.
"Miss Yu, don't look at me like that. There really is no misunderstanding between Mengmeng and I."
I was startled by his agitated reaction. I didn't notice the way he addressed me and immediately consoled him.
Looking at Cheng He's expression, I actually didn't know what to say next. After thinking about it a few times, I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I made up my mind. He simply looked at Cheng He.
"Meng Meng's words are very straight, but she really didn't mean it. If her words were wrong in the past, you'd better not take it to heart."
Just as I finished speaking, Cheng He took a few large strides forward before turning around to look at me. He was so excited that I didn't know what to say.
"Miss Yu! You're really overthinking it! "
With that, Cheng He left angrily.
I suddenly realized that I seemed to have made a mistake, but I wasn't sure what it was.
I walked out the stairs in a daze, to see Li Mengmeng looking at me with a puzzled expression while carrying a cup of milk tea: "Duo Duo, what was that Cheng He about?"
When I mentioned this matter, I couldn't help but sigh and blurt out, "I only advised him a little."
Li Mengmeng raised her eyebrows and looked as though she was angry behind me. I followed her gaze and turned around, only to see Cheng He standing behind me with a conflicted expression.
"Then he really doesn't listen to advice."
Li Mengmeng was not the least bit polite, she left behind these words and pulled me away.
Cheng He's originally red face instantly turned pale.
In that moment, I suddenly understood that I was mistaken from the start. It wasn't that the two of them were mistaken, but Cheng He obviously liked Li Mengmeng.
Cheng and this boy looked quite innocent and seemed to be compatible with Li Mengmeng. I had heard from Yu Xian that it was difficult to find a pure boy in the past, but now, I had actually messed up.
"Miss Yu, the CEO has something to talk to you about."
With a stern face, Cheng He suddenly appeared at the entrance of Project Department.
I carefully looked at Cheng He's expression and walked out of the Project Department's office. The moment I walked out, the Project Department, which had been quiet for a day, suddenly became lively.
I pursed my lips, a little dissatisfied. Although I had already advised myself not to care, being excluded by so many people made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"Erm, Cheng He, I'm sorry, I made a mistake at noon."
After all, Li Mengmeng was my first friend, and I was extremely vexed towards this boy that suited her.
Such a good marriage, if we can't be together because of me, then that would truly be a sin. I can't have a person I love, how can I just watch as I miss this couple.
Cheng He then eased his expression and forced a smile at me. "It's alright."
I sighed in my heart. Right now, in front of Shen Junyi's office, I thought for a moment and said, "I'll explain it to Mengmeng."
Cheng He then revealed a sincere smile towards me. My heart was finally at ease as I pushed open the office door and walked in.
Shen Junyi was looking down at the document, completely unaware of my arrival.
I was too embarrassed to disturb him, so I stood quietly to one side.
Different from Yue Guaner's harsh and overbearing attitude, Shen Junyi still carried a trace of gentleness and a round, unfathomable sense of comfort.
However, even though Yue Guaner was tyrannical and did things with extreme speed, his methods were extremely meticulous, no matter what methods he used. Every step he took, had been carefully considered, and he often went against common sense, which similarly made one unable to guess his moves.
After about twenty minutes, Shen Junyi finally raised his head from the pile of documents and looked at me with a slight surprised smile.
"He's really old. He's only so little and yet he's been reading for such a long time."
Hearing his emotional tone, I had mixed feelings in my heart. My heart actually felt a little reluctant and touched, as if this was the first time I had felt such admiration for someone other than the Red Aunt.
"No, Uncle Shen is still young. It's just that he should pay more attention to rest."
Hearing my words, Shen Junyi laughed helplessly, and mocked me.
"Let's not talk about me anymore. How is it? The young talent in my company shouldn't be that bad, right? Shouldn't you consider your marriage?"
I naturally understood who the person Shen Junyi was referring to was.
Seeing my expression darken, Shen Junyi sighed.
"I sincerely hope that you can have a new life. You're still so young."
I silently lowered my head. Of course I knew that Shen Junyi was truly good to me, but I had fallen in love with him after all. After loving someone for so many years, that kind of feeling had already sunk deep into my bones.
"I think Cheng and that kid are pretty good. His family background is average, but luckily he's ambitious, capable, and honest. If you interact more with him, you won't need to come to work in the afternoon."
Without waiting for me to react, Shen Junyi immediately knocked on the board. Seeing my shocked expression, Shen Junyi revealed a rare trace of tiredness, as if he remembered something. He lowered his head and looked at the table.
"Then it's settled."
Shen Junyi waved his hand, as though he did not want to say anything.
"But, my job …"
I unwillingly continued to reject this decision but Shen Junyi had already leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. It was clear that he would never change this decision again.
