C101

It was already half an hour after he returned home.

When Lin Manrou arrived home, Ye Qingming was sitting on the sofa reading a book. The air was filled with warmth, as well as his normal appearance.

Quiet, as quiet as ever, very familiar. It was the same every time Lin Qingrou was at home alone.

She broke the silence, somewhat apologetically.

He didn't ask her what she had done, just set the book down and moved a cup of hot water from one end of the table to the other.

Lin Qingrou picked up the cup of water, letting the steam rise from her face and turning from heat to cold, almost in a split-second. Thinking about what happened today, Lin Qingrou put down her glass of water and told Ye Qingming, "Today, I went to the company and saw Director Zhao. She's very nice and takes care of me. "

Ye Qingming turned to look at her. Weiwei raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything else.

"I still have to thank you. I will do my best at work."

Ye Qingming gently rubbed his eyes, smiled and said, "As long as you do your best, it's alright. Don't be burdened."

Lin Qingrou stared at him, dazed for a moment.

What would have happened to them if not for all these things?

Lin Qingrou blurted out subconsciously, "If you weren't with me, who would you marry?"

This question came out of the blue. Ye Qingming was also surprised, but he only smiled, as if he was listening to a childish joke.

He slowly closed the book. "I've never thought about those hypothetical questions. The facts are right in front of me, so it's my best choice."

"The best choice? Are you talking about leaving the people you should leave, or are you with the right people? " She actually seemed to want to get to the bottom of this.

Ye Qingming sat up straight, no longer joking with her.

"We are all adults, and we always think of a lot of things before we do anything. Since I can accept it, it means that I will bear all the consequences. Good or bad. You, too, I think. "

Lin Qingrou stared at him silently. His eyes were like the abyss, he couldn't even see the edge of it. She was often at a loss in his eyes, and often grew quiet in his words.

Finally, she stopped asking questions and nodded, then turned and went back into the bedroom.

Ye Qingming followed her and leaned against the door.

Lin Qingrou turned to look at him, her eyebrows raised helplessly. "I need to change clothes, shouldn't you go out for a bit?"

Ye Qingming did not move. He seemed quite interested.

"Fine."

She completely gave up on talking about it with him and continued to take off her scarf and shirt. However, she still had some scruples and kept the clothes on the inside of the shirt.

When she finished changing into her housedress, she looked up and saw that he was still standing there.

Lin Qingrou could not help but mutter, "What's there to look at?"

Ye Qingming pursed his lips into a smile and looked at her face. Sure enough, her face was gradually turning red.

Only then did he take the initiative to say, "Alright, you should slowly change your clothes. I'll be going to my study now."

Lin Qingrou watched her back as beads of perspiration formed on her forehead, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

If he said he was shy, then it was better to be nervous. Perhaps, she had always been like this in front of him, and had already gotten used to it.

Lin Qingrou slept on the left side of the bed, breathing quietly. Unless she was especially tired, she would only sleep light. Occasionally, when Ye Qingming slept late, she would know what he had done before he went to sleep and would only take a few steps.

It was just that he never knew.

It was the same tonight. It wasn't until the latter half of the night that Ye Qingming finally walked into the bedroom and laid down on the bed. Since the beginning of his work, he had never felt at ease during the day. Even after so many years, he still felt exhausted.

Although he was already used to working methods, he was always a little tired of this kind of overwork. Even after so many years, nothing had changed.

The fragrance of Lin Manshou's hair wafted up from beside him, making him want to laugh for no reason at all. Perhaps she was thinking of how she looked that night, or perhaps she was secretly delighted that she was so embarrassed. Ye Qingming leaned his head against his arm and looked at the dark ceiling that was filled with shadows. He couldn't help but smile.

Lin Qingrou's back was facing him. Her eyes twitched, but she did not open them. She stayed under the blanket and listened to Ye Qingming's voice.

He was still awake and seemed to be thinking about something.

In an instant, it was as if the two of them were in two transparent worlds. They could see each other, they could even touch each other. However, their thoughts were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

The next morning, Ye Qingming was the first to wake up.

Today, there were still many operations and the clinic was still busy, so he had no idea what a quiet hospital looked like. As far as he could remember, the hospital was the busiest and busiest place.

Everything was as usual.

After changing his clothes, he looked at Lin Qingrou, who was still lying on the bed. He watched her as she slept, then, before she could wake, he kissed her lightly on the exposed cheek.

The kiss was light and itchy, almost to the point that Lin Qingrou was about to open her eyes.

Fortunately, Ye Qingming didn't stay too long at home. After asking, he left in a hurry.

Lin Qingrou touched her face and sat up slowly.

If it weren't for the past, Ye Qingming would probably find someone he loved and live happily ever after!

Pulling open the curtains, sunlight flooded the room. Lin Qingrou had no choice but to narrow her eyes, open the window and tiptoe to look down.

Ye Qingming's car had already left, leaving only an empty spot. At this moment, it was already occupied by a few stray cats in the yard.

Lin Qingrou stared at it for a long time. It was unknown if she was looking at the cat or at the traces left behind by Ye Qingming. Only after a long time had passed did she finally realize that the weather was still cold, so how could she wear thin clothes and be blown by the cold wind for so long?

However, her lips unconsciously curved into a beautiful smile.

The sun was shining brightly, and she had never felt a morning so bright and beautiful.

According to the customs of Zhao Ru, she never handled matters outside of work hours.

Shen Youmo brought a thick stack of documents early in the morning and placed it in front of Lin Qingrou. This was the newest project of the company. Everyone was doing their best, and Lin Qingrou was no exception.

Shen Youmo seemed a little worried, "Director Zhao hasn't been home recently. If there's a problem, what should we do?"

Lin Qingrou looked at her. Her young, fair face was blushing. She comforted him, "There are still so many experienced seniors and vice presidents in the company. If there aren't any mistakes, we should be able to sign the contract soon."

Shen You Mo counted on his fingers, then said to Lin Manshou, "There's still two more weeks until the final product is completed. You're right, with the help of so many seniors, nothing will happen."

Lin Manshou smiled at her, then said to her, "I saw that Boss Zhao really liked you, you've been in this company for a long time, right?"

Shen You Mo looked up at Lin Qingrou, tidying up the documents. She then smiled, "It's good, I've graduated and I've been here for at least three years!"

Lin Qingrou nodded and typed on the computer screen, asking, "Director Zhao is actually very trusting of all of you leaving at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have left at this time."

Shen You Mo thought for a while before nodding her head heavily.

"There are a few seniors from the same school as me here, and they are all very good people. They have been following Director Zhao since he started his business for a few years now."

"Your school? Which school did you graduate from? "

"Huh?" Shen You Mo froze for a moment, then said to Lin Manshou, "My school is not worth mentioning, so I shouldn't tell you about it."

Lin Qingrou looked at her, smiling, "It's alright, I'll take care of the rest of the documents first, then the rest of the work will be done quickly."

Seeing her take the initiative to change the topic, Weiwei seemed relieved and went back to work.

But looking at her, Lin Qingrou's eyes were full of curiosity and caution.

During the lunch break, Liu Yuxi called as promised.

"You busy man, do you have time to come out now?"

Lin Qingrou looked at her watch.

"I'm afraid it's too late to go to your house. Wait for me to get off work?"

Liu Yuxi giggled, "I'm right around the corner from my company. You'll be there in time."

Hearing that, Lin Qingrou got into a taxi immediately, and said in surprise, "You've already gone out? Who came with you? "Nanny?"

Liu Yuxi couldn't be bothered to explain, so he could only hang up after saying goodbye.

After about 10 minutes, when Lin Qingrou saw Liu Yuxi, he couldn't help but look at her in astonishment.

"Where did you get that wheelchair? "You look good."

Liu Yuxi contentedly patted his leg that was about to heal, "The way my auntie thinks. How is it? Awesome, isn't it!?"

There was nothing Lin Qingrou could do about it. Who would blame the fact that she was in a wheelchair for being handsome?

However, like this, Liu Yuxi saved himself a seat. He let the waiter push him and then casually sat down across from Lin Qingrou.

"Speak, why did you call me here so urgently?"

Liu Yuxi looked at her with his arms crossed, hesitating to speak.

Lin Qingrou couldn't wait any longer. After she understood what was going on, she handed the bird's nest cup over to Liu Yuxi.

Liu Yuxi covered his mouth as he looked at her and laughed. Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore and said to her, "Alright, I'm just teasing you. Of course I have business to discuss with you today."

After a pause, Liu Yuxi continued, "I have two things to say. One is inconclusive, and the other has already come to an end."

Lin Manchu looked at Liu Yuxi warily, and took a deep breath.

Liu Yuxi sighed, looked at Lin Qingrou and said, "I used up all my connections, but still couldn't find any information on Zhao Ru."

"What?!" Lin Qingrou turned pale with fright.

She never would have thought that Zhao Ru was such a mysterious person. The more mysterious something was, the more complex the background would be. What was her relationship with Ye Qingming?

Liu Yuxi continued, "However, Shen Youmo's situation is much easier to investigate."

"She's a student at Media College X and she's doing well in her studies. However, her family situation was not that good. Her father had accidentally died when she was eighteen, and he was accompanied by a mother with liver disease. Other people even financed the money for me going to university back then. "

Lin Qingrou said slowly, "Her family background is not good, and she knows how to study in the media? That is an industry that burns money, and with her successfully joining Zhao Ru's company, I am afraid that she cannot do it alone. "

Liu Yuxi raised his eyebrows and tapped the glass table.

"Of course, but do you know who it was that helped her go to school?"

Lin Qingrou looked at Liu Yuxi, a bad premonition slowly rising in her heart.

Liu Yuxi looked up at her, pursed his lips into a smile and said, "You've already guessed it right? "Ye Qingcheng, that's him."

Lin Qingrou's heart felt as if it was being pulled by thousands of hands. Initially, she only thought that it was someone related to the Ye Clan, maybe it was Ye Qingzhi or Ye Qinggran. But now, it turned out to be Ye Qingcheng!

"Ye Qingcheng, could it be …" She looked forward to other conclusions, but they were no longer possible.

After a long while, Lin Qingrou finally said slowly, "That is to say, Zhao Ru was unable to find the background. Shen You Mo is Ye Qingcheng's person!?"

Thus, she had fallen into another trap.

She should have thought of it, should have anticipated it! Why would Ye Qingming introduce the work to her for no reason? Why would he let his guard down at this moment!

Lin Manmei regretted her decision, but then she thought about it and said to Liu Yuxi, "Okay, I understand."

Liu Yuxi looked at her in surprise. "You're resigning? After all, this situation is too dangerous. "

Lin Qingrou laughed coldly, "No, I can't leave. If I leave now, I'm afraid there will be other traps waiting for me in the future. So for now, it would be better to guard Zhao Ru and Shen You Mo, and maybe learn some other things. "

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Liu Yuxi didn't have much to say. He could only sigh in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with this world? It's really hard to guard against."

Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming's phone number calmly, "The world is like this, I can only blame myself for not being ruthless."
