my naughty female president

"What work are you doing now?" he asked.

"Oh, I work for a real estate company." I only said the name of the company, but didn't mention the specific position, because I thought it would be very embarrassing to let him know that I was actually working as an assistant for a woman.

Anne's father nodded and said, "Well, yes, although the state now has strict control over real estate, the prospect is still very good. Work hard, young man, and the future is still good!"

I nodded and smiled dryly.I thought that if I let you know that I am using my wages to pay off the debt, I will pack up and leave when the debt is paid off. I don’t know if you will think that my future is good.

At this time, Annie came out of the kitchen and said, "Brother, it's time to serve dinner, come and help me bring the dishes over."

I quickly got up and promised to follow into the kitchen, I whispered to Annie: "What's your dad doing here?"

"It's nothing, he said he just came to see me, and he will leave after dinner." Annie said flatly.

From her expression, it could be seen that her father's arrival did not make her feel the slightest joy.

I know that she hasn't untied her knot yet. Indeed, letting go of some things is not as easy as imagined.

The three of us ate in silence at the dinner table, and no one spoke.

The ding-ding-dong-dong sound of chopsticks touching the plate made the whole atmosphere even more eerie.

Annie lowered her head and ate the rice in the bowl by herself, but I knew that her heart must not be as calm as her appearance.

I really want to find a topic to talk about to ease the awkward atmosphere, but I can't think of any topic that is suitable for talking at the dinner table.

I really regret why I didn't find a reason to leave when I saw that it was Anne's father who opened the door for me. As a result, even having a meal now feels like sitting on pins and needles.

I think it's better to leave early after dinner. If I'm not there, even if they probably won't have a pleasant conversation, it's better than keeping something in my heart.

After the meal, I helped Annie clean up the tableware, sat on the sofa for a while, and helped Annie's father refill a cup of tea, and finally couldn't sit still anymore.

He got up and said to the two of them: "Uncle, I have something to go first, so I won't accompany you." Then he turned to Annie and said, "Annie, I will come to see you some other day."

"Brother, didn't you say you had something to do with me? Why didn't you say you were going to leave?" Annie said when she saw that I was about to leave.

Anne had evidently overheard the conversation I had with her father when I arrived.

"Actually, is there anything important? I just want to ask about your work. Uncle finally came here once, so you can stay with him well. I will come to you again when I am free."

"It's okay, just talk about it if you have something to say." Annie remained indifferent.

I understand that she is deliberately pretending to be indifferent, no doubt just to let her father understand that he has no influence on her life.

Seeing her like this, I have no choice but to explain why I came here: "I just saw that you have been on business trips recently, and I want to remind you that you should do what you can at work, don't work too hard, and take care of yourself."

Before Annie could open her mouth after I finished speaking, her father asked her with a concerned face: "Annie, did you encounter any problems? If you have anything, you must tell Dad!"

Annie glanced at her father, then at me and said: "It's nothing, my work is not hard at all, and I'm used to it, it's nothing, don't worry about it!"

Anne looked at me when she said this, but I knew she was speaking to her father.

Anne's father sighed softly, and said after a long while: "I know, you have been brooding over the matter of my divorce from your mother, but you have always been unwilling to believe my words. It is completely wrong for me to divorce your mother." Because there is no relationship between us anymore, it has nothing to do with your Aunt Wu!"

"I know you don't understand, but you are my daughter, no matter how much you don't understand, you are still my daughter! Dad really doesn't want to see the hard work, why can't you understand your dad's heart!"

He was a little emotional, and at the end, there were tears in the eyes of this upright man, and even the look of Annie seemed to be begging, which made me feel a little bit unbearable.

However, Annie was still unmoved by his words, and her expression was still as calm as it seemed. I knew that she had already forged a strong heart in this matter.

"It's not that I don't understand you, but I'm used to living alone and don't like being disturbed. Maybe you're right, I'm your daughter, and I know you really care about me, but you don't understand Me, you don’t know what I really need, I just want to live a peaceful life. Since I can live without a mother, I don’t need a father. And I’ve grown up, and I’ve already passed the age of needing father’s love and mother’s love. Can you Do you understand?"

"Annie, I..."

He still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Annie.

"You don't need to say any more, since you've seen me, please go. I'm tired and I'm going to rest!"

Annie's father stood up from the sofa, looked at Annie eagerly, twitched his lips a few times, but said nothing, sighed again, turned and walked outside the house.

Seeing his powerless appearance, I couldn't bear it, so I followed up and said, "Uncle, I'll send you off!"

He looked back at me and nodded.

When I went downstairs with him, I just said: "Uncle, don't be angry. Some things take some time. If you give her some more time, I believe Annie will figure it out!"

Annie's father sighed, looked up at the sky, turned to me and said, "Can you sit with me?"

I nodded and led him to sit by the flower bed in the community.

After he sat down for a long time, he said: "I hope it can be like what you said, and one day she will understand! I just hope it's not too late. In fact, I can understand that Anne hates me. Her mother was in my most difficult time. He has always been by my side, encouraged me, and helped me. At that time, I was just a small civil servant..."

At this point, he stopped talking, as if recalling the past.After a long time, he went on to say: "Later, I finally got better in my official career, and I went up step by step."

"I thought that our life would gradually get better, but I didn't expect that it was precisely because my position was promoted step by step, the work became busier, and the entertainment also increased."

"It is precisely because of this that Annie's mother and I gradually had conflicts, which intensified in the end. You know that once people are in a certain position, they become a little bit involuntary, which finally led to the final outburst. tidy."

"It's also my fault that I didn't consider Anne's mother's feelings at the time. It was too late when I realized the seriousness of the matter, and our relationship has reached an irreparable point..."

"That's why Annie hates me. She thinks that I won't want her mother after I was promoted, and she always insists that I divorced her mother because of her Aunt Wu, oh, that is, my current wife. All these years I have been Tried to explain it to her, but she never listened..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, his face full of loneliness.

"Uncle, there is something I want to remind you. I have known Annie for many years. Annie has always been a person who can distinguish right from wrong. The reason why she didn't forgive you may not be because of any misunderstanding!"

He looked up at me, with a hint of doubt in his sad eyes.

I went on to say, "Maybe she didn't forgive you just because you made him lose his mother. And then you rebuilt the family after that, which was emotionally losing her father again in her sensitive teenage years. You just think that your divorce is not your fault, and ignore how much it will hurt Anne!"

He kept looking at me, his eyes gradually became a little confused, then he lowered his head and murmured: "Is that so? So it is so, how could it be like this, how could it be like this..."

I patted him on the back: "Uncle, don't be sad, no matter what you did wrong, but you are Annie's father after all, I believe she will definitely understand."

He didn't seem to hear my words, his head was lowered and he didn't move.

After a long time, he finally regained some energy, looked at me and said, "Xiao Wei, Uncle asked you something!"

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"You and Annie are really just ordinary friends?"

I nodded.

"But I think Annie seems to be quite dependent on you, I can see that. As far as I know, Annie has never had a boyfriend, and she has been with you all these years from school to society, will it Annie's affection for you has surpassed that of ordinary friends, do you understand what I mean?"

I was taken aback, the meaning of his words couldn't be more obvious, what I don't understand is why he would ask such a question.

"Uncle, you are thinking too much. Annie and I are just close friends. If he really has the dependence on me that you said, it is also a dependence between relatives. As for other things, I think you must be thinking too much." I quickly explain.

He nodded slightly after listening to me.

"Since you say that, it seems that I am overthinking. But uncle still wants to ask you one thing..." He hesitated to speak.

"Uncle, you are serious. If you have anything to say, just say it. If I can do it, I will do it!"

"If, I mean, if it's really like what I said, uncle begs you not to hurt Anne."

"Although on the surface she comes from a seemingly high-class family, you and I both know that due to my marriage problems with her mother, she doesn't get much care. One can imagine how sensitive and fragile her emotions are."

"So I hope she won't be hurt any more emotionally. If it's what I said, I hope you will handle it properly. Can you promise uncle?"

I listened to him silently, and I was a little moved. Although the relationship between him and Annie had been very stiff, I could see that her love for her daughter had never diminished. Although Annie never accepted his favor and help, he Still try my best to protect my daughter.

It’s just that his worries are superfluous in my opinion. I know the relationship between Annie and I the most, and Annie has also clearly stated that her feelings for me are feelings between friends, and have nothing to do with Li Liang’s feelings. What a difference.

But seeing his solemn entrustment, I still gave him an affirmative answer.

"Uncle, don't worry, I promise you, I will never hurt Annie. Not only will I not, I will not let anyone hurt Annie."

He nodded with a smile, patted my shoulder and said, "Then Annie will be taken care of by you. Uncle has to go back tonight, so I'll leave first."

I nodded and walked out of the community gate with him.A black car was already waiting outside the door, and the white-gloved driver was waiting beside the car respectfully, and hurriedly greeted him when he came out.

After he left, I took out my mobile phone and called Annie.

"Uncle has left!"

Annie on the other end of the phone just hummed lightly.

I wanted to persuade her a few words, but in the end I didn't say anything.I know that if I can't let go of such a thing, the persuasion from outsiders will be useless.I looked at the window of Annie's house, sighed in my heart and hung up the phone silently.
