No one spoke, not even Shen Ran. She used the corner of her eyes to peek at Lu Yanheng's expression, but she heard his voice without any ripples: "Miss Lin can have time to volunteer in her busy schedule. I personally appreciate this behavior very much.”

"Where can we idle people like Mr. Lu take care of everything?"

Lin Ruoruo's voice was only lighter than his.

Lu Yanheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

He didn't expect to meet her here by chance today. Although, he also had the idea of ​​meeting her by chance. There are so many orphanages in this city, and when he came to this one, subconsciously, wasn't it also for her? He faced her The top is so calm and casual, it just hides everything very well.

Because she said she wouldn't bother her and wouldn't bother her anymore. She seemed very good and she cared about this place, so let him help her take care of these children with Shen Ran.

These few words may seem very polite, but in fact they contain so much bitterness. How could an uninformed person understand? For example, Secretary Li, he thought that it was a coincidence that Mr. Lu now had Miss Shen by his side. Having met her, I naturally don't want any past involvement to make Miss Shen unhappy.

Lu Yanheng walked inside and passed by Lin Ruoruo, his lips pursed tightly. As he walked like this, the people around him followed his pace one after another, and someone's voice came from far away. , didn’t know what he was talking about. Lin Ruoruo turned around and glanced, only seeing his back, but she could see that he was leaning slightly towards the person who was speaking, looking very serious.

Everyone followed Lu Yanheng to the orphanage and started to improve the details of the too simple living conditions. Only Shen Ran still stood there elegantly with a decent smile.

In an instant, she and Shen Ran were the only ones left in the yard.

Lin Ruoruo looked away and smiled slightly, with a bit of self-deprecation and a bit of sadness.

Isn't this the result she wants? Why is her mood so complicated now? Or is it because his attitude is too indifferent, so indifferent that it pierces her eyes and burns her heart. Hahaha, Lu Yanheng , in fact, the relationship between us is not as deep as imagined, right? The love you think is either me drowning in the tenderness and sweetness you have never had before, or we are nothing, just like Just like that, passing by.

It's just a matter of clarifying one sentence, and then we can go our separate ways.

This was the man she had been with for five years.

Gu Zisheng intentionally or unintentionally revealed the children's charity matter to Lin Ruoruo in the coffee shop. The purpose was to hope that the two of them could meet and have a common language, so as to create a different kind of spark. After such painstaking efforts, the two finally met. He was surrounded by people, including Shen Ran. She stood alone in front of him and her words were lighter than his.

The most familiar stranger.

Lin Ruoruo finally realized the profound meaning of this word. Before, she was still thinking, since it is so familiar, why is it still strange? It turns out that the most familiar is also the most unfamiliar.

She couldn't understand him more and more.

It was a pity that Gu Zisheng had such good intentions. If he knew that Lu Yanheng and Lin Ruoruo had completely fallen out, he would definitely be furious. It would be a waste of work and he would be in danger of being cramped and pulled out by Xu Tang.

Shen Ran saw Lin Ruoruo's expression and movements in her eyes, and her smile deepened, but she still said nothing. Thinking of that night, when Lu Yanheng regarded herself as her, she felt that she was just a substitute. She felt that she was useless in front of Lin Ruoruo.

Lin Ruoruo smiled at her again: "Shen Ran, it's not a bad thing that you can stay with him."

"I can't get in either Lu Yanheng's side or in his heart." Shen Ran shook his head gently and stood motionless, "You should know this better than me."

"But, you are smarter than me."

"In relationships, there is nothing smart or not. As you can see, he still has you in his heart."

Lin Ruoruo's eyes trembled: "He probably hates me. You should have seen what happened today."

“Without love, how can there be hatred?”

"Really?" She smiled.

Shen Ran took two steps slowly without looking at her: "He and I have nothing, don't get me wrong. We can often be together only because of children's charity. I am the main person in charge of the Shen Group , it’s him at SG Enterprise. He leaves most of the things to me to handle, but today for the first time, he put down his work and came to this somewhat remote orphanage with me. Do you know why? "

Lin Ruoruo's heart moved, she understood a little bit, and lowered her eyes.

Shen Ran had already told her everything she was thinking: "Because he knows that you often come to this orphanage and you have a very good relationship with the people here. So when he came, subconsciously, he also wanted to meet him here. you."

"In the five years I've been with him, he didn't even know what I was doing on a daily basis, and he never knew that I was a volunteer in this orphanage." Lin Ruoruo said, "Why now, all of a sudden, it seems that for me, It seems like I know a lot about my business.”

"As long as it's something he cares about, there's nothing he doesn't know about."

"Oh," the curve of Lin Ruoruo's mouth became wider, "So I should be happy, I should be moved, and only after I have finished playing with him, do I want to make up for it?"

Shen Ran didn't care about her words at all, and just said what he wanted to say: "Your affairs...I'm not interested, and I don't know the inside story. But Lin Ruoruo, why do you think we suddenly He proposed to me to hold such a charity event. At first, I didn't know why he would do this. This is not Lu Yanheng's style, but now that I have something to do with you, I understand everything."

"Shen Ran, you should understand that there is no difference between you and me. He is good to me, but he just doesn't like his things to be taken away by others. How possessive he is. Five years, not five days, five weeks, is also Not five months. I was pregnant with his child before, and I was very happy. But in the end, the child was miscarried, and during the miscarriage, he was holding Zhang Zixin in his arms."

Now Lin Ruoruo can talk about the past so calmly. Although there is still sadness in her eyebrows and eyes, it is very light. She should be grateful to Chen Yu, a man, for recovering her so well.

Shen Ran's expression was shocked for a moment.

"You...you had his children..."

Lin Ruoruo smiled slightly, dispelling her previous sadness: "Yeah. So Shen Ran, if you were me, you would have chosen Chen Yu instead of him when we were in the restaurant that day. No woman would choose a general. I have hurt this man so deeply. Even if I once loved him more than you, I still love him more. But the taste of pain, no matter how beautiful he is on the surface, no one would like to touch him a second time."

After a brief silence, Shen Ran said calmly: "Actually, in the final analysis, you still don't believe him."

"Because it costs too much trust, it is no longer valuable."

"If you transfer one-third of the attention you used to him to now, you will find something different. Why not give him a chance."

"I have a crush on Chen Yu." She suddenly said, "Shen Ran, if you love him, then go for it."

Shen Ran's expression became confused for a moment, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "This is my business."

Lin Ruoruo wanted to say something more to her, but Shen Ran cast his gaze behind her and said with a smile: "He's out."

Lin Ruoruo did not turn around, but slowly stepped aside when she heard the footsteps behind her.

Lu Yanheng frowned, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with what he saw: "The house is too old, and there is a possibility of rain leakage in some places. This orphanage should be divided into key areas and improved."

Secretary Li nodded: "Yes, Mr. Lu."

Then he looked at Shen Ran, and there was no trace of Lin Ruoruo in his dark eyes: "That's it, let's go to the next one." After that, he walked straight to the door.

Shen Ran glanced at her, Lin Ruoruo smiled and waved to her: "Goodbye, Shen Ran."

Lu Yanheng walked a few steps and found that Shen Ran had not followed him, so he stopped and looked back. As soon as he stopped, everyone stopped: "Shen Ran?"

"Goodbye." Shen Ran hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Ruoruo and strode towards Lu Yanheng.

She smiled, turned around and looked at the dean and grandma on the side: "Grandma, how are you? They just said they would focus on this."

It's just that she felt like there was a gaze looking at her from behind, like a gleam on her back, which was extremely unnatural. Lin Ruoruo looked back again and saw that everyone was preparing to get in the car, and no one was looking this way.

I couldn't help but laugh to myself at my own pretentiousness.

The dean’s grandmother’s face was full of joy: “They said they would help us repair the house and donate daily necessities to the children. Considering that the children are still in elementary school, Mr. Lu said they wanted to build a library.”

"That's good. Capital entrepreneurs like them don't care about the money anyway. It can be of some benefit to the children." Lin Ruoruo smiled and guided the dean's grandmother, "Grandma, I've stayed long enough, it's time to leave. I still have to go to work."

The dean's grandma seemed to be still immersed in great joy, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes got deeper: "Okay, okay, work is important. Come and see the children more often when you have time, they are always thinking of you."

"Well, I know. Then grandma, I'll leave first."

"Ruoruo, come always when you have time."

Lin Ruoruo nodded.

Sitting in the taxi and returning to the coffee shop, Lin Ruoruo took over Zuo Weilan's affairs and received a call from Chen Yu: "Are you busy?"

She tilted her head to one side, holding the phone between her shoulder and her ear, grinding coffee beans with both hands: "I should ask you this, what am I busy with here."

"I just sent away a client and am now free."

"By the way, Chen Yu, I took the time to visit the orphanage this morning. The director and grandma were very happy. This charity event has really begun to be implemented."

Chen Yu's smiling voice warmed her heart: "That's good."

"Yes, the children's conditions have improved, and they said they will also find a library. I can feel relieved a little bit in the future. When I went there today, I happened to see the children lining up to go to school. They were wearing red scarves and looked like Good spirit.”

Chen Yu held the phone with a nice curve on his lips, put his hand on the desk, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Lin Ruoruo talked happily alone, and Chen Yu listened patiently. Someone knocked on the door of the office twice: "Director."

He signaled the man to come in with his eyes. Xu Tang's high heels clicked on the ground. Lin Ruoruo seemed to hear the sound from his side: "You have someone here. It's okay. Hang up the phone. I'll talk to you tonight."

"good."

Xu Tang stood still in front of the desk, and Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Sit down."

She sat down unceremoniously: "What does the director want from me?"

Now it seems that everything is stable. Ruoruo's relationship with the director is getting warmer day by day, and she and Gu Zisheng are getting along well. She has rarely seen Lu Yanheng, and even Zhang Zixin, a woman who is not pleasing to the eye no matter how hard she looks at it.

He didn't appear under her nose. The life was going smoothly, and it seemed that there was still a strong east wind, and then everything was ready.

When Chen Yu explained his intention, even Xu Tang couldn't sit still and jumped up from his chair: "What?! You want to take Ruoruo to the United States to meet your parents?"

"Yes. Why, what's your reaction?"

"I'm so excited! I'm so excited! It feels like a daughter-in-law finally succeeds as a mother-in-law!"

Chen Yu smiled even more naughtyly: "Then there is something better now, do you want to know?"

"You can tell me whatever you need me for!" Xu Tang waved her hands grandly. She has always supported Chen Yu unconditionally. Because in her opinion, Chen Yu is no better than that scumbag Lu Yanheng in any aspect.

Damn it. If you hurt Lin Ruoruo at him, she won't treat him no matter what.

"I'll give you half a month's leave."

"What?! Half a month?" Xu Tang, who had just sat down, exploded again, "Director, you don't want to fire me, do you?!"

"I approved this half-month leave for you. Don't worry, you will continue to work at Wange. But there is a prerequisite. You cannot stay in City B or go home. You must go outside until the holiday is over.

return."

Xu Tang felt happy, but because he was so happy, he couldn't express any emotions, because he felt that no reaction could express his inner excitement. He just grabbed the table with both hands: "Director, I need a reason."

Chen Yu looked at her reaction and said calmly: "You can take this opportunity to play around, travel and so on. If you feel uncomfortable being alone, call your boss Gu to cultivate and cultivate feelings?"

"Director, I don't want to listen to this, I want a good reason! Otherwise I will feel like a fish on the chopping board... Oh no, a fish caught in the fishing line... Oh, anyway

I just feel like nothing is right!”
