Strangers bloom again

Chapter 208 Falling in love with someone, falling in love with a city (10)

The few days of being separated from Lin Xiaonuan are undoubtedly the end of the world for Lei Shaoting. He sits by the seaside in a daze like a soulless body every day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Lin Xiaonuan has always wanted to see the sea, he had secretly reserved this private sea area for Lin Xiaonuan, thinking that their wedding ceremony would be held here in the future.

"Mr. Lei, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it! You also know Mr. Lin's temper!" Wang Tezhu looked innocent, and when he saw someone coming in the elevator, he deliberately covered the microphone and lowered his voice.

"This is work and an order. If you can stand it, you have to stand it, if you can't stand it, you have to stand it!" Lei Shaoting scolded in a cold voice, and hung up the phone without giving Wang Tezhu a chance to defend himself.

"Promise to complete the work!" Special Assistant Wang was really taken aback by Lei Shaoting's angry shout, he immediately puffed up his chest, and promised righteously to the phone.

But after hanging up the phone, he still involuntarily wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

Ever since she lost contact with Lei Shaoting, Lin Xiaonuan no longer had the heart to help Chen Hao. Fortunately, Mo Sheng and Chen Hao cooperated tacitly and completed the architectural design very smoothly.

Lin Xiaonuan can only pass the time by working hard every day, and sometimes it is too late to work overtime, so she simply spends the night on the sofa in the office.

She didn't want to go home for a moment, facing the empty home, her mind was full of Lei Shaoting's shadow.

Lin Xiaonuan racked her brains to inquire everywhere, but still did not find out the whereabouts of Lei Shaoting.

She knew in her heart that this time was definitely not a business trip in the superficial sense, something very serious must have happened, and it must have something to do with her.

She had no other choice but to keep sending messages to Lei Shaoting, hoping that he would see it the moment he turned on the phone, and understand and tolerate everything she did.

But after more than ten days, all the information disappeared, and no response was received.

Looking at it, Huasheng Group will hold an architectural design bidding competition tomorrow. According to regulations, all shareholders and senior leaders of Huasheng Group must come to the scene to review and vote.

Lin Xiaonuan was ecstatically looking forward to this day, she did not believe that Lei Shaoting would not show up tomorrow.

At the competition site, all directors and senior leaders took their seats in an orderly manner, but Lei Shaoting's seat was always empty.

Lin Xiaonuan looked anxiously at Lei Shaoting's seat, and the glimmer of hope that she had imagined was gradually shattered.

She slowly closed her eyes, trying to suppress the salty liquid in her eyes, trying to make them flow back.

"Please be quiet, everyone. Our Huasheng Group's nationwide architectural design bidding competition is about to begin! All contestants, please prepare in advance." In order to highlight the grandeur of this competition, Huasheng Group spared no expense to invite famous The host of the TV show hosts the contest.

The host was indeed very eloquent. As soon as she opened her mouth, the entire venue fell silent.

Lin Xiaonuan was still staring at the direction of the door, and she had no choice but to sit down until the staff closed the door of the venue, but her heart felt like it was being engulfed by a fire, and the pain was extremely burning.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the entry list on the table. The densely packed words on the list instantly blurred into pieces.

"I heard that he is Lei Shaoting from Lei's Group. He really has an extraordinary bearing and a good-looking talent!" A girl's whispering voice came from behind.

Lin Xiaonuan raised her head abruptly, a gleam of light flashed in her dark eyes.

Lei Shaoting maintained his usual indifference and aloofness, and he didn't react at all to the whispers from below, striding towards the front row of the venue as if no one was there.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Lei Shaoting's face has lost a lot of weight, his browbones are more prominent, and his deep eyes reveal a sense of distance and alienation that no stranger should enter.

It was as if he had returned to the way Lin Xiaonuan saw him for the first time.

Lin Xiaonuan's vision gradually blurred, but her eyes never moved away from Lei Shaoting's body, not even blinking.

Lei Shaoting passed directly in front of her, without squinting his eyes as if he didn't see her, and his whole body was filled with indifference and aloofness that kept people thousands of miles away.

Lin Xiaonuan looked around, trying to restrain the excitement and sorrow in her heart. She bit her lower lip and sat back on her seat, but her throbbing heart became more and more intense.

"It's only been a few days, how did Xiao Nuan lose weight?" Although Lei Shaoting didn't look at her directly, but her every move did not escape his sharp eyes, he quickly summoned Wang Tezhu to ask.

Wang Tezhu first sighed deeply, and then slowly reported to him what happened in the past few days.

"During the time you were away, Mr. Lin regarded the company as his home every day, and worked until midnight every day. Sometimes he just spent the night on the sofa in the office without eating. Can he not lose weight? Anyone who sees it feels distressed! From my point of view, Mr. Lin thinks too much of you!"

After listening to Wang Tezhu's words, Lei Shaoting's heart twisted into a ball as if being pricked by a needle.

He couldn't help turning his eyes to Lin Xiaonuan, who was looking down at the list of contestants in his hand.

In fact, how did he know that Lin Xiaonuan was pretending to be himself at this moment, trying to calm his emotions.
