Through Thick and Thin

Lu Chuiqing stared at Chen Yuan in a daze. Finally, he collected himself, put on a polite smile, and stood up from his chair: "Manager Chen, hello."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Just now, Mr. Lu, you gave a product speech on behalf of your company. It was really great and impressive."

Lu Chuiqing: "Thank you."

Chen Yuan came to the railing of the terrace, looked at the night outside the building, and slowly took a sip of the champagne in his hand.

The appearance of Lu Chuiqing on the stage that he saw just now appeared in his mind. Under the lights of the venue, he spoke confidently, with a generous aura, and he had a performance that was enough to stand out. The people sitting below were all sincere. Applause for him.

Lu Chuiqing is indeed a very good person, he is radiant and attracts everyone's attention.And Chen Yuan could only sit at the bottom and applaud with those around him who were strangers to Lu Chuiqing. They disappeared from his sight, and even the applause was drowned out.

Even though nearly a year had passed, Chen Yuan never really let go of his throbbing towards Lu Chuiqing.Seeing him again, Chen Yuan found that he still had unrealistic hopes, and he was still attached to him.

Chen Yuan can tell that Lu Chuiqing is a very ambitious person, which is very strange to say, although Chen Yuan's ideal relationship has always been a family-type lover who bears children for him, but he is still attracted by Lu Chuiqing. deeply attracted.

There seemed to be some kind of charming and strange magic power in that person.

He thought for the umpteenth time that maybe he had met him earlier, met him earlier than the person in his heart, and everything might have been different.

Lu Chuiqing looked at Chen Yuan's back and remained silent. Apart from simple greetings and pleasantries on business occasions, he had nothing else to say to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan turned his back to him, and his voice was very steady, but if he listened carefully, he could still hear a bit of hidden loneliness and melancholy: "Mr. Lu, how has your year been?"

Lu Chuiqing simply replied: "Very good, very fulfilling."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Really? That's good."

There was a bit of bitter embarrassment in Lu Chuiqing's eyes. He hesitated for a while, and finally said frankly: "Manager Chen, if you are in trouble...don't come to meet me."

Chen Yuan replied quietly: "I also know that I shouldn't meet you again, I just... haven't forgotten how I feel for you. When I saw you on stage today, I was thinking, I probably still don't deserve you... "

Chen Yuan didn't finish his sentence, and smiled lightly again, and then said, "I'm sorry, you probably don't want to hear me complaining here, either."

Lu Chuiqing really didn't want to hear what Chen Yuan said, but it wasn't because she didn't want to hear Chen Yuan complain, but because she didn't want Chen Yuan to talk about herself like that.

Lu Chuiqing wanted to say something to encourage him, but felt that she should not give Chen Yuan any more burdens and illusory hopes, so she chose to remain silent in the end.

Chen Yuan: "I was the one who was abrupt today, sorry."

Chen Yuan turned around, as if he was going to bid farewell to Lu Chuiqing, but the moment he turned around, his expression changed slightly, surprise flashed in his eyes.

Lu Chuiqing turned back following his gaze, and suddenly found that Xiao Zhan had arrived at some time, and was standing by the glass door of the balcony watching them.

Lu Chuiqing froze on the spot, his back was facing the door just now, and he didn't know when Xiao Zhan came.

One of Xiao Zhan's hands was in the pocket of his suit pants, and the other hand was hanging by his side, holding a small ice cream dessert box in his hand.

Xiao looked forward to Chen Yuan, an unpleasant dark color appeared in his deep eyes, his expression was gloomy and sharp, and the aura around him became a little cold.

Chen Yuan obviously also noticed Xiao Zhan's expression, he frowned slightly, and noticed that the dessert in the transparent box in Xiao Zhan's hand was exactly the same as the one on the table in front of Lu Chuiqing.

A thought suddenly flashed in Chen Yuan's mind, his heart tightened, his eyes were filled with undercurrents, and the hand hanging by his side began to secretly clenched.

Xiao Zhan's eyes only lingered on Chen Yuan for a few seconds, and then he looked at Lu Chuiqing, who was standing aside, obviously feeling a little at a loss about the current situation, and said in his usual voice, "Xiaoqing, let's go."

Lu Chuiqing panicked for a moment, worried that Xiao Zhan had misunderstood something, and when he heard what Xiao Zhan said, he hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and walked towards Xiao Zhan.

Chen Yuan probably already saw his relationship with Xiao Zhan, and Lu Chuiqing didn't want to hide his relationship with Xiao Zhan from him. Chen Yuan shouldn't have those fruitless thoughts about him anymore, which made Lu Chuiqing feel uncomfortable , will also torture Chen Yuan himself.

Hearing Xiao Zhan's address to Lu Chuiqing, Chen Yuan felt more and more unwilling and lost.

Was Xiao Zhan the person Lu Chuiqing said he liked that day?

In Chen Yuan's business and social circle, there is no one who does not know Xiao Zhan, and he has heard rumors about Xiao Zhan's private life more or less. One percent of people at the top of the pyramid are always surrounded by all kinds of beauties.

Moreover, as far as Chen Yuan knew, Xiao Zhan and the chairman of Zhongming Fund, where Lu Chuiqing worked, were relatives.

Chen Yuan didn't want to think about the disgraceful side, but he couldn't help but care about Lu Chuiqing's matter. He wanted to protect him and protect him from harm.

Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand to Lu Chuiqing, who reached out to catch him and was held firmly.Surprisingly, Xiao Zhan didn't leave in a hurry, but grabbed Lu Chuiqing's hand, put him half in his arms, bowed his head and kissed his lips.

Xiao Zhan: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Lu Chuiqing's body froze, his hand was pulled by Xiao Zhan and stuck to his back, but he couldn't respond, only to hear Xiao Zhan say again: "I saw the dessert on the counter over there just now, remember you seem to I like this one, so I got one for you."

Xiao Zhan must be unhappy in his heart, now Lu Chuiqing just wants to leave here with Xiao Zhan quickly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Let's go back to the venue."

Xiao Zhan pulled Lu Chuiqing to go out, Chen Yuan's expression darkened a bit, he walked forward with a bit of unconcealable impulse, and grabbed Lu Chuiqing's other wrist.

Lu Chuiqing turned her head in surprise, and Chen Yuan stood there with no curve in her lips.

At this moment, there was no trace of gentleness on his always gentle face, and those cold eyes were like nothing Lu Chuiqing had ever seen before.

Xiao Zhan also turned around, and he saw Chen Yuan holding Lu Chuiqing's hand and pulling him back, and the two of them pulled Lu Chuiqing between them.

Chen Yuan stared at Lu Chuiqing, and asked softly, "Are you sincere?"

Lu Chuiqing heard the hidden meaning in Chen Yuan's words, and at that moment, an uncontrollable bitterness rose in his chest.

He knew that Chen Yuan said this because he was worried about him. Chen Yuan might have misunderstood something like many other people would think, thinking that Xiao Zhan was just playing with his feelings, and he was constrained by Xiao Zhan's status and Workplace pressure, had to accompany him to play this game.

The soreness in Lu Chuiqing's heart was beyond his ability to express. It was clearly not the case, but his relationship with Xiao Zhan was always viewed through colored glasses.

Just when Lu Chuiqing was about to speak, Xiao Zhan suddenly said calmly: "Manager Chen, in your eyes, doesn't Xiaoqing know how to make choices by herself?"

Xiao Zhan's words hit the nail on the head, leaving no room for Chen Yuan.

No matter how excellent and self-reliant Lu Chuiqing is in the workplace, in Chen Yuan's subconscious, the first reaction when thinking of Lu Chuiqing is still that he needs protection, rather than believing that he will make his own choice.

Therefore, in his opinion, if people like Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan are together, they will definitely be hurt.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and there was a flickering struggle in his eyes. His hand was loosened for a moment, but he did not let go completely.

Chen Yuan said coldly: "I didn't see you loving him, I only saw your possessive desire for him."

Xiao Zhan: "Whatever you have in your heart, you will naturally see what you see."

Chen Yuan stared at Xiao Zhan, and said word by word: "Then did I say something wrong?"

"enough!"

Lu Chuiqing suddenly interrupted Chen Yuan's words. He turned his head, looked at Chen Yuan, and slowly broke free from his hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was earnest: "Manager Chen, what I said to you that day is not true." One point is a lie, do you understand? Thank you for thinking about me, and thank you for all your concern from beginning to end."

He paused and said firmly, "But I don't need those, I really don't."

Chen Yuan's hand was pulled away, and the moment he left the warm skin, he stood there in a daze, loss, loneliness and the last miss were all imprinted in his pupils, and finally condensed into Lu Chuiqing's eyes. appearance.

Lu Chuiqing let out a breath slowly, and whispered to Xiao Zhan: "Let's go."

Xiao Zhan didn't stay any longer, and pulled Lu Chuiqing to leave the terrace.

The two walked down the corridor slowly, Lu Chuiqing walked beside Xiao Zhan, with a look of disappointment.

However, he has seen many things clearly over the past few years, and he will not doubt himself so easily.He knew that what he needed to do was to work harder to prove himself and improve himself, until one day, when he stood beside Xiao Zhan, no one would look at their fair and honest relationship with suspicion.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuiqing began to walk forward quickly, dragging Xiao Zhan to the bathroom on this floor.

Lu Chuiqing walked to the sink and washed her face with cold water to wake herself up.

He looked at Xiao Zhan in the mirror, remembered what happened just now, pursed his lips, turned his head to look at him, and asked tentatively, "Xiao Zhan, are you not angry?"

Xiao Zhan: "Why am I mad at you?"

That's what he said, but Lu Chuiqing could still feel from Xiao Zhan's slightly cold tone that Xiao Zhan was unhappy.

Lu Chuiqing simply stretched out her hand, wrapped her arms around Xiao Zhan's waist from behind, rubbed her cheek against his back, and muttered a little embarrassedly: "Don't be angry..."

Xiao Zhan was silent for a while, then turned around suddenly, Lu Chuiqing had to let go of his arms and raised his head to look at him.

Before Lu Chuiqing had time to put on the neck ring, under the light, the curve of the cream-colored neck was charming.Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly turned Lu Chuiqing around, folded his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and landed a kiss on the glands at the back of his neck.

Lu Chuiqing was startled, the glands that were not covered by the neck ring were very sensitive, his body trembled, and he turned his head just now, but Xiao Zhan seized the space again and kissed him on the side of his neck.

Lu Chuiqing's face turned red, she broke free from Xiao Zhan, and covered her neck with her hands: "...Hey!"

Xiao Zhan leaned against the pool in his spare time, and said meaningfully: "Chen Yuan is not completely wrong, who doesn't have such a thing as possessiveness?"

Lu Chuiqing clutched his neck and was speechless. He knew he was in the wrong, so he curled his lips in the end and said, "Let's not mention this..."

Lu Chuiqing turned his head, and his eyes fell on the mirror above the sink. He suddenly discovered that the kiss that Xiao Zhan slammed on the side of his neck just now had left traces!

Lu Chuiqing took a deep breath, and the cheeks that had just dissipated a little heat suddenly heated up again. His neck was very white, and the reddish marks were too obvious. He turned his head suddenly and stared at Xiao Zhan in disbelief: "I'm going to see my colleagues soon!"

Xiao Zhan: "Isn't there a neck ring?"

There was no other way, Lu Chuiqing could only take out the neck ring and put it on, which just covered the hickey mark left by Xiao Zhan.

Lu Chuiqing thought gloomily, if Xiao Zhan didn't have this idea a long time ago, he really didn't believe it.

After all, the person who will accompany Xiaoqing until the future is Mr. Xiao.After the end, I may write a special episode of Mr. Chen, and he will definitely find someone who suits him~
