Forbidden

For a meal, Jiang Yushi doesn't know the taste.

It was obvious that the three of them were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and active under Wen Ruoxian's driving, but she just felt unspeakably depressed.

She could feel Wen Ruoxian's meticulous care of Cheng Suran, and she could also feel Cheng Suran's natural relaxation in front of Wen Ruoxian, while she was like an outsider from the beginning to the end.

She has no position and is not qualified to care about Ranran.

For Cheng Suran, Wen Ruoxian is a close friend, but she is just a former financial patron, a vicious and ruthless financial patron, and she is only a current business partner.

Jiang Yu suddenly felt that he had lost something very important.

Something is leaving her, flowing away from the broken and broken glass bottle like running water, tearing at her mouth, her nerves, her heart, leaving waves of intense pain...

After dinner, the three chatted for a while, and set a date for the formal meeting and signing of the contract.

"Ruoxian, you go back to the company first, and I'll see Mr. Jiang off." When he was about to leave, Cheng Suran walked up to Jiang Yu.

"Okay," Wen Ruoxian nodded, "Remember to take a nap when you get back to the office."

"Uh-huh."

Cheng Suran pursed his lips and smiled, watching her leave.

The private room suddenly fell silent.

"Mr. Jiang..." Cheng Suran turned around and looked at Jiang Yu with a smile on his face, "Thank you for sending me the business."

Jiang Yu was full of anticipation and hung it high, thinking that she had something private to say to him, but when he heard the last sentence, this anticipation fell heavily to the ground and was shattered.

"It's not a gift." She endured the pain in her heart and forced a smile.

"You and your team won it with strength."

Cheng Suran's bright eyes light up slightly, it seems unbelievable that she would say such a thing, what about strength?What about high above?What about the gold master?Whether the person in front of her is not the Jiang Yu she knew, or her mentality has never changed.

She doesn't know Jiang Yu a little bit now.

It seems to have changed, but it seems to have not changed.

"Let's go." Jiang Yu stepped forward.

Cheng Suran followed her, walked beside her, and entered the elevator amidst the greetings of the waiters.

It happened that the elevator was empty, and there was only each other in the small and airtight space, which was dull and silent, and the air was filled with the clear and cold fragrance of iris.

The familiar scent is like a trigger, the more Cheng Suran smells, the faster his heart beats...

"Ran Ran."

Jiang Yu suddenly spoke, Cheng Suran was startled and didn't respond, waiting for her to finish.

"Do you live with Mr. Wen?"

"Well, we rent a flat together." I didn't want to answer at first, but for the sake of business, it's okay to tell Jiang Yu, after all, it's not considered absolute privacy.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath slowly, trying to keep calm: "Where is the rent?"

Cheng Suran stopped talking.

This is privacy.

Jiang Yu understood clearly, and didn't ask questions.

The elevator stops on the first floor.

The two went out one after another, the driver was already waiting outside the gate, Jiang Yu came to the car, did not open the door immediately, but turned to look at Cheng Suran.

Her lips moved, she hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Boss Jiang..."

Just when Jiang Yu was about to get in the car, Cheng Suran called her, she was stunned, and turned her head in doubt.

"The dress is beautiful."

The whole afternoon, Jiang Yu lived in a daze, his mind was full of lunch, he forced himself to go to the company for a short meeting, and returned home before dark.

Bai Lu didn't bother her all day.

The sun rises from the west.

The house is still empty and deserted, only the nanny is preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Xiao Zhou is sweeping the floor in the living room.Jiang Yu walked over frivolously, and threw himself on the sofa, "Where's Bai Lu?"

Xiao Zhou stopped the broom and said, "She pushed the box and left, saying she was going back to Paris."

Ok?

Jiang Yu was stunned, and asked again: "When did you leave?"

"It's around two o'clock in the afternoon."

"What did she say?"

"No."

"..."

Jiang Yu took out his phone and clicked on WeChat. The list was full of the latest unread messages. Bai Lu's chat box had sunk somewhere, and it took him a long time to find it.

The last time she sent a message was two days ago. Bai Lu posted a selfie. She praised her for being beautiful, but there was no further text.

It's been quiet until now.

In the past, Bai Lu would tell her wherever she went, until she was so annoyed by the series of messages that she didn't want to reply, she also sent her a message when she went to Paris last month, but now she left without a word, and she didn't know why she was throwing a temper.

September and October are the spring and summer fashion season, and the circle is extremely busy, and the models are the busiest. It is normal to go back to work at this time.

Forget it.

Just don't bother her, she will be clean.

……

After eating dinner and taking a shower, Jiang Yu locked himself in the bedroom.

Back in her own safe area, she was finally able to let go of all her defenses. She slumped on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. The light above her head was too bright, which was even more dazzling than the scenes on the lunch table.

Ran Ran was so relaxed and at ease in front of Wen Ruoxian, as if she was not the Ran Ran she knew.

But has she really known and understood the real Cheng Suran?

In the past, restricted by the nurturing relationship, she was the benefactor with absolute authority, but she was weak and humble in front of her, and how could she see her true self hidden by a contract.

Now, the nurturing relationship has long been terminated, and she began to want to know and understand the real Cheng Suran, but it was too late.

It's just that she has never forgotten after all these years...

Thinking about it, sleepiness gradually struck, Jiang Yu's upper and lower eyelids were battling, and he stretched out his hand to turn off the headlight, leaving only the wall lamp, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

In the past two years, her sleep has gradually recovered, and she does not need to take melatonin to regulate it, and she will no longer have nightmares. As long as she does not go to dark and confined spaces, her situation will remain stable.

As the night deepened, everything was silent.

"Sister, do I look good?" The girl stood on the lawn in a floral skirt, turning around lightly, her sweet dimples were charming and charming.

Jiang Yu nodded with a smile, stepped forward to hug her, and kissed her soft lips, "Of course it's the prettiest."

Her arms were warm and soft, and the girl's body was scorching hot. She wrapped her arms around her neck, tiptoed slightly, and kissed her on the lips, "I like my sister."

Jiang Yu's heart fluttered, and he was about to speak when the girl suddenly pushed her away again.

"But my sister doesn't like me..."

"?"

"Sister, I'm not a canary anymore, I don't have to listen to you anymore. You used to be afraid that I would love you, but now I give it back to you."

"Ran Ran?"

Jiang Yu stood there in a daze, the girl was getting farther and farther away from her, she stretched out her hand, but couldn't touch her, she wanted to chase after her, but her legs seemed to be frozen, watching the girl disappear in front of her eyes...

"Ran Ran!!"

Jiang Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and the dim light shone into his eyes.

It was a dream.

Panting, she pushed away the soft rabbit doll in her arms, crawled to the head of the bed, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

The night outside the window is boundless.

My heart seemed to be hollowed out, and a huge sense of loss surged up...

Since he separated from Cheng Suran five years ago, he has often been swallowed up by the emptiness of loneliness in the dead of night. At first, he could rely on his lover to resolve it, but later he got tired of it and it intensified.

The reunion just kindled that fire completely.

She might...

I like Ranran.

Sitting quietly for a long time, Jiang Yu propped himself up to get out of bed, opened the bottom drawer of the cabinet, and took out a transparent box from inside.

She put the box on the table and turned on the light.

The room was lit up, and the incomplete model stood still in the box. The runway, the swing, and her were lifelike, and the colors were still bright, but they could never return to their original appearance.

In the past five years, from trying to restore it to repeated trials and failures, to finally giving up completely, she accepted her fate and sealed it in a place where she could not see it, so as not to think about others when she saw it.

Jiang Yu took off the transparent box, carefully stretched out his finger, and gently touched the broken part.

[Sister, do you still like it? ]

[like very much. ]

The girl's face floated in front of her eyes, her eyes were clear and clean, and her smile was bright and moving.

She remembered bits and pieces of the past.

Of course, he will be satisfied because he got her smile, he will be happy for a long time because he stole a kiss from her, he will blush shyly because she said he likes her the most, he will quarrel with others on Weibo to defend her, and he will quarrel with others in order to let her She is happy to prepare an ingenious birthday gift, and will go to the deep mountains and old forests alone in the middle of the night to save her...

In order to stay with her longer, I buried my love in my heart.

This is what she realized last year.

Jiang Yu looked at the broken model, his eyes were hot, and there was a little bit of water vapor permeating up.

In fact, she was the one who broke the agreement, she was the one who was tempted, and she was the one who couldn't do without, but she pushed everything away with her own hands.

She lost it...

Tears drenched his eyes and gushed out.

Jiang Yu let go of the model, fell down on the bed, hugged a rabbit doll, buried his face in the fur, and sobbed softly.

The body trembled uncontrollably and slowly curled up.

Suddenly, like drowning again, his hands scratched and fumbled on the quilt, and found the cell phone next to the pillow, and tremblingly dialed Tian Lin's number.

It rang for a long time before the other end answered. The voice sounded like he had just woken up: "Sister Yu? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night..."

Jiang Yu couldn't speak, just sobbed.

Hearing the voice of a familiar person feels safe.

"Sister Yu?" Tian Lin sensed something was wrong, and immediately raised her voice.

"What's the matter with you? Where are you?"

"..."

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth, hung up the phone, and fell back on the bed with tears streaming down his face.

Her suppressed crying echoed in the quiet night.

I don't know how long it took, the tears dried up, and there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the next second, the door was opened, and Tian Lin rushed in.

"Sister Yu—"

Followed by the sleepy Xiao Zhou.

Jiang Yu shuddered and sat up, looking at Tian Lin with red and swollen eyes.

"Go to bed first, leave it to me." Tian Lin said softly to Xiao Zhou, who nodded in a daze and went out.

She was startled by Shang Jiang Yu's dull gaze, "Sister Yu..." stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yu, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Tian Lin was so frightened that she hung up the phone and rushed over. She was still wearing a sexy lace suspender nightgown, and she was in a hurry to go out, only wearing a thin coat.

"It's okay..." Jiang Yu looked at her apologetically, "Sorry for waking you up."

"Why are you still talking to me like that?"

"..."

"Having a nightmare? Crying like this."

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Wait for me." Tian Lin got up, opened the door and went out. After a while, she came in again with a wet towel and a water glass, and wiped her eyes and face.

"Drink of water."

Jiang Yu picked up the cup and drank two sips, put it aside, and leaned against her arms as if he was limp and boneless, as if seeking comfort.It took a long time before she spoke: "Tian Lin... have you already seen it..."

"what?"

"I and Ranran..."

Tian Lin was startled, vaguely guessed the reason, and hummed softly, "From the very beginning, you were very special to her. If you think about it yourself, you should be able to feel it. I also mentioned it to you several times later, you said No. But who would be so kind to a lover."

After speaking, he sighed.

Jiang Yu asked dully, "Am I treating her well?"

"I think it's pretty good, compared to those girls before. Compared to those perverted men in the entertainment industry... Ah bah, I can't compare with them."

"But I've beaten her and beaten her, and I still..."

"Because you are the patron." Tian Lin said it as a matter of course.

Jiang Yu was silent again.

There was an eerie silence in the bedroom.

The air conditioner blows out the cold wind slowly, and the warm yellow light casts a soft halo, and time seems to stand still.

"Tian Lin..."

"Hey, yes."

"I don't want to be a benefactor anymore." Jiang Yu's nose turned sore, and he choked up again.

Tian Lin hugged her tightly: "Then don't do it."

"I want to be sure."

"Then go find her."

Jiang Yu closed his eyes, and a tear slowly rolled down.

It was still hot in early September.

Soon it was the day when the high-level executives of the two parties met to sign the contract. Cheng Suran had been preparing for a long time. This was the largest order the company had received since its establishment. There could be no mistakes, and she personally supervised and checked all the processes.

She and Wen Ruoxian got up early in the morning, changed into more formal clothes, and took care of them meticulously from head to toe.

Arrive at the company at nine o'clock, check all kinds of documents, conference room layout, etc., at ten o'clock sharp, a group of five people from the other company arrived on time.

Headed by Jiang Yu, three women and two men, four people from Cheng Suran's side, besides her and Wen Ruoxian, there are also people from the translation department and the marketing department.

Jiang Yu was completely black again today.

A silky black half-sleeved shirt with a beautiful long knot on the collar, loose black trousers, and slender legs. The whole person looks very serious, only the pair of emerald earrings neutralize the coldness.

Cheng Suran couldn't help but glance at her.

After the two parties sat down, they began to communicate about this cooperation, which lasted for about half an hour. Whether it was because the order was big enough or because of Jiang Yu, Cheng Suran was inexplicably nervous and excited.

Her gaze, Jiang Yu's gaze, collided with each other from time to time.

This is a scene that Cheng Suran has never imagined before...

Finally, after signing the annual contract, it was almost noon, and the two parties went to the reserved restaurant for lunch.

Completely business-like, without any private communication.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, Cheng Suran and Wen Ruoxian sent Jiang Yu and the others away, and went back to the company. Then they heard from the front desk that Auntie Cleaning had picked up a watch in the conference room.

"What kind of watch?"

"this."

The younger sister at the front desk handed it over.

The silver dial has a simple design. Except for a circle of small diamonds inlaid inside, there is no extra decoration. It is a bit old and looks like it should have been used for a long time.

Cheng Suran held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and a familiar memory suddenly flashed in his mind.

This is……

"Patek Philippe, lady's watch, it should be left behind by one of them just now, please call." Wen Ruoxian said beside her.

"I'll get in touch." Cheng Suran grabbed his watch and went to the office without looking back.

Jiang Yu's watch.

At that time she saw...

Back in the office, Cheng Suran quickly closed the door, took out his mobile phone, clicked into the address book, and scrolled down to the number that was recently saved but had already been memorized by heart.

It's not a "mirror in the mirror" anymore.

She stared at the string of numbers, hesitated for a while, and pressed down lightly with her fingertips.

"Hello? Ranran?" A familiar voice soon came from the other end.

Subtle and charming.

Cheng Suran's heart trembled, and he tried his best to keep his voice calm: "Mr. Jiang, your watch has been left in the conference room."

"Ah?" Jiang Yu seemed puzzled, "How do you know it's mine?"

Cheng Suran lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment and said, "I remember you wearing it."

The other end stopped talking.

The air seemed to freeze over a long distance.

After a while, Jiang Yu's soft and soft voice came again: "Yes, I accidentally dropped it, can you bring it home for me later?"

"You shouldn't have gone far now, I asked my assistant to drive there."

"I'm in a hurry, and I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I don't want to turn around, and I cherish that watch very much, so I don't feel relieved to let others give it to me."

"..."

"Can I ask Ranran?"

Cheng Suran clenched the watch in his palm, with helplessness in his eyes, after a long time, he said softly, "Send me the address."
