Chapter 82: It Has Nothing to Do With Him

fact: Zhu Yu'an's so-called collaboration with colleagues from the joint research department to investigate was just a pretense, his purpose was to keep her by his side. 。And the mistress supported he...At that time, he was unaware of how out of control things would become. 。Wen Jian has been his good friend for many years, and a valuable assistant in his career. She's staying at an apartment downstairs from his home temporarily after returning to the country. Plus, it's very close to Zhuo Yuan Technology, making her commute convenient, so there's nothing inappropriate about it. 。Their apartment layout is the same as his, just without a balcony. 。Wen Lan had already prepared a table of dishes, all of which Zhuo Yu'an loved to eat when he was abroad. 。Wenlan is a good cook. During her years abroad, she had no worries about food and clothing, living a life of comfort and leisure. When she wasn't busy, she would enroll in various classes, such as flower arranging, tea ceremony, and cooking. She generally had a fixed organization and activities with a group of Chinese wives. 。Zuo Yu'an entered the room and took his seat, courteous and polite with impeccable manners. He was raised by his grandfather to meet influential elders since he was young, so in this kind of setting, he behaves appropriately. 。Wen Jian knows him, and he doesn't necessarily take things to heart. All his proper conduct stems from his cultivation. 。Wen Lan naturally knows this, but a man with such cultivation has impeccable character and is very reliable. 。You always have a good eye for talent, Yu'an is a rare gem. You should seize this opportunity. 。"

I know" 。Wen Jian of course knew, from the first time they met at Qining High School. 。Wen Jian matured early. In her first year of high school, she saw her male classmates as a bunch of immature boys. Only Zhuo Yu'an was different. He was mature and restrained. From the first glance, she fell for him. 。"Xiao Jian, just knowing isn't enough, you have to take action. It's been years now Any progress at all" Wen Lan looked at Wen Jian, as if looking at a stubborn log. 。

Warm words choked her, she'd been working so hard to become better, to be worthy of him, to stand beside him. 。She indeed did, he saw her, affirmed her, and considered her an indispensable right-hand person. 。"From start to finish, you were on the wrong track." 。Even if you try harder, you'll only become his business partner, not his life partner. Do you know why Because you haven't shown him the feminine charm he finds attractive. 。"Wen Lan is incisive." 。"I..." Wen Jian wanted to explain. 。What are you, in Yu An's eyes, are you any different from Wang Yan There is no difference at all. 。So you got the first step wrong. 。"In Zhuo YUAN's eyes, is there a difference between her and Wang Yan

There is no difference, not even in gender." 。She always knew, and assumed, that Zhuo Yunan prioritized his career above all else, with no interest in romantic relationships. But whenever he decided to start a relationship, she would undoubtedly be the one he chose, because after all, she was the only woman in his life. 。It's a shame, why did Shu Tinglan have to show up Why had to be Shu Tinglan This was the conversation between the mother and daughter last night. 。Wenlan looks down on Wenjian's way of handling relationships, finding him too hesitant and not proactive enough. 。So she specially invited Zhuo Yuyan to her home for a meal, knowing that Zhuo Yuyan would not refuse her. 。Wen Lan is very good at setting the mood. During the meal, she brought up shared experiences from living abroad, which provided plenty of conversation topics. 。"Actually, you two don't really need to go back to China. You can manage the domestic company from abroad as well, besides Wang Yan is there too," Wen Lan was trying to persuade Zhuo Yu an to go abroad. 。The environment abroad is much better than that in China. 。"Although it's good abroad, Yu An's parents are both in China. He is an only child, so he will eventually come back." 。"Now who still has that old idea, as long as the children live well, whether they are around or not, parents are happy. " 。Wen Lan is truly open-minded. 。Zhu Yunan remained noncommittal. Many of his decisions didn't take much consideration of his parents' opinions. 。To him, his parents were his parents and he was himself. The only connection between them was simply love. 。。This was indeed a surprise for Zhu Yuyan. He had always considered Wen Jian as a friend, a like-minded partner, just like Wang Yan. 。He always felt that Wen Jian had the same thoughts, after all, for so many years, she had never revealed any other mindset. 。However, tonight, Wen Jian did not deny. 。When Wen Jian sent him out, he paused for a moment before saying, “Jian, you are the best partner I have in my career. You always have been” 。"

I know" 。"Wen Jian answered briefly, how could he not hear the refusal in Zhuo Yu'an's words

Saying goodbye to Wen Jian, Zhuo Yu'an took the elevator to the top floor where an empty house stood. Remembering that New Year's Eve night, he and Shu Tinglan had counted down together as the new year arrived, wishing each other a happy new year with joy in her eyes when she looked at him." 。The joy back then was uncontainable. 。He never understood, they had no conflict at all. Why would a simple appearance of someone else cause their relationship to break down like this Driven by that impulse, he drove to Shu Tinglan's house again. 。Shu Tinglan was busy. She tidied up the small bedroom, throwing away a lot of junk. This was her third time taking the trash downstairs, and then she saw Zhuo Yu'an leaning against his car. He had been watching her for who knows how long. 。The two stood under the dim streetlights, he leaning against his car and she beside a trash can, an alley separating them. 。"Doesn't it smell" Zhuo Yu'an asked her, his tone teasing. 。Shū Tīnglán only took a few steps forward, putting some distance between himself and the trash can. 。"Looking for me" she asked, truly baffled by his behavior. He'd been acting like a complete stranger lately, even though they occasionally ran into each other at work.

"What are you doing" Zhu Yu'an didn't answer, just pointed to the pile of discarded items beside the trash can. 。Shu Tinglan didn't answer, just thinking about going home if there was nothing else to do. 。

"I saw you at the crosswalk when I was leaving work today" 。"Can you really eat that much instant food" He changed the subject. 。

Shu Tinglan still didn't answer, thinking to herself, "Is there something wrong with you What does it have to do with me" It's so out of the blue. >>> 。Zhuo Yuan didn't care about her coldness, instead smiling and asking "If you need help with cooking, just tell me, I don't mind" 。"Self-respect, what dignity, they seemed insignificant before her, reduced to such humility." 。Shu Tinglan turned to leave, and Zhu Y uan took a step forward, pulling her back and trapping her between the car and himself. 。At such a close distance, Shu Tinglan could only see his eyes, dark and deep like the ocean's abyss, holding an alluring power. 。She pushed him away hard and then walked straight home without looking back. 。Many things, truly, have no why, and no answers. 。Just like her, him, Wen Jian, if they continue to entangle, they are destined to end up like their parents, which is very deplorable. 。The next day was the weekend, and it was the day to pick up her mother from the hospital. Lin Zhiyi was even more excited than she was. She drove to her house early in the morning and waited downstairs. 。When Shu Tinglan got into the car, she said:

“That's strange, I seemed to see Zhuo Yu'an's car when I came over just now. Didn't he stay overnight at your place last night”

"No, we have nothing to do with each other anymore"> 。”s-making projects is a routine operation, no need to overinterpret it."After finishing her words, she remained close to Gu Ruandong's hand, only letting go once they were out of the reporters' sight....
