Adopted daughter

Chapter 9 Mask

Man, when did you leave?Lin Qiutong sat down slumped, her morale plummeted.It must be when the waiter was pestering her, Shen Jingran and the others left, and lost a chance to run on Shen Jingran, what a pity, Lin Qiutong felt sorry for her, and asked the waiter to pay the bill to leave, but what happened to the sense of loss in her heart?It looked very hot outside, and Lin Qiutong really didn't want to go out, but it was weird to be here alone. I always felt that the boss would have to take a nap when she was not there. She was the only customer in the huge coffee shop.

Forget it, let's go out, Lin Qiutong put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the door and pushed out, the person turned around, the door opened, and she went out, a face suddenly appeared in his sight, still smiling like usual , "Qiu Tong."

"Shen Jingran?" Lin Qiutong obviously didn't expect Shen Jingran to appear, didn't he leave?Shen Jingran was not displeased because Lin Qiutong called her by her full name. He nodded and said with a smile, "Well, it's me. I saw you just now."

Sure enough, I saw it, but as for leaving, do I have to come back to say hello?She was really courteous enough, Lin Qiutong sneered inwardly, with a cold face, "Oh, is that so?" Lin Qiutong looked at the street, there were still so many people, where was Shen Jingran just now, why didn't she see it.Seeing Lin Qiutong's eyes drifting, Shen Jingran explained: "Although I saw you just now, it's not easy to leave the venue halfway to see off the guests, so I saw off the guests and came to say hello to you. Are you used to drinking here? "

The voice was as gentle as ever. On a hot summer day, the restless heart calmed down. Lin Qiutong looked back at the coffee shop and said casually, "It's okay, I don't like coffee very much."

"The blueberry juice here is very good." Shen Jingran opened the door and said sideways: "It's rare to meet, why don't you go in and have a drink?"

Lin Qiutong stood there motionless, and the corners of Shen Jingran's lips curled into a smile, "It's after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it's the hottest time, if you don't have something to do, go out after this point, so you don't get sunbaked." Not to mention, Shen Jingran's reminder was very considerate, Lin Qiutong really hated the sun, so he simply followed Shen Jingran into the store.Following behind Shen Jingran, a faint fragrance wafted away. Lin Qiutong sniffed vigorously, but the fragrance did not become rich because of it, it was still faint and pleasant to smell.

Shen Jingran ordered two glasses of blueberry juice. Lin Qiutong sat on the seat, staring out of the window, wondering what he was thinking.Shen Jingran let out a low breath of relief, very lightly, but Lin Qiutong still heard it, she turned her head slightly, out of the corner of her eyes, Shen Jingran supported her forehead with one hand and pressed it gently twice, looking very tired.

"How's work going?" Shen Jingran took the initiative to open the topic, while Lin Qiutong still looked out of the window and said casually, "What can be done, that's it."

"You may not be used to it just after coming back from abroad, so don't be too tired." At this moment, Shen Jingran has put away his fatigue, like an elder who cares about the younger generation, "If you need my help, just let me know."

"Oh, are you so active and enthusiastic towards everyone?" Lin Qiutong's mind suddenly flashed the smiling face of Shen Jingran when he talked with those guests. This is also a way to touch people's hearts. The smiling face at the moment is very similar to that commercial smile.Shen Jingran glanced out of the window with dark eyes, his eyes extended to the blue sky, his heart became pure, he stroked the cup with his hand, and said with a faint smile: "It's the right thing to do with people and things, being polite."

"Isn't it right for you to imply that I'm being rude to you?" Lin Qiutong turned his head, poking at Shen Jingran with sharp eyes, and there was a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth.Shen Jingran's smile didn't disappear, on the contrary, it deepened, and he chuckled softly, with a doting tone in his tone, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, when you get along with me, you can do whatever you want."

"..." Lin Qiutong looked away in annoyance, that's it!It's people like this who are the most annoying. No matter how you say it, they all have the same expression, seemingly gentle and friendly, but in fact there is an insurmountable gap between them.Lin Qiutong really wanted to tear off the mask on Shen Jingran's face to see if the real expression showed disgust?Lin Qiutong didn't believe that Shen Jingran's heart would be the same as her appearance, she exaggeratedly expressed her emotions towards Shen Jingran, and even disdain to cover it up, but Shen Jingran seemed to hide it well... Shen Jingran's phone rang at this time, "Hi .”

"Ok, I know."

"Yes."

"Should I answer this question?"

"Are you in charge, or am I in charge?"

"This is not the first time. If there is a problem, find a way to solve it. Shirking can't solve any problems."

"Collect a report for me tomorrow."

...Although Lin Qiutong turned his head away, Shen Jingran's voice floated over from time to time. It was different from the tone when he was talking to her, with the air of a leader and aloofness. At least to the bystanders, it was wrong to listen to the phone over there on the person.

"Try the juice, it's delicious." After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingran returned to the state Lin Qiutong was familiar with, with a gentle tone like spring water.Lin Qiutong picked it up and took a big sip. It was refreshing and delicious, sweet but not greasy, and had a faint fruity aroma...it was really good, "Very ordinary." Lin Qiutong replied against his will, Shen Jingran just curled his lips into a smile, and picked up the blueberry After taking a sip from the cup, he seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile always on the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Shen Jingran's phone rang again, for the third time, for the fourth time... Lin Qiutong stood up and said, "You look very busy, I'll take my leave first." Shen Jingran looked at his watch, it was already three o'clock, and Then stood up, "Alright, next time I find some free time to come, I'm a bit busy with work today." It's not today, every day is very busy, if Shen Jingran hadn't met Lin Qiutong, it would be difficult for Shen Jingran to relax for a while .

It wasn't until Shen Jingran's back disappeared into the building that Lin Qiutong heard the phone in his pocket ring. Su Xiu called and asked her if she wanted to have dinner together, "Okay, I'll go back to the company to find you now."

In the evening, at a barbecue restaurant near Su Xiu's home, Lin Qiutong and Su Xiu ordered a bunch of food and a few bottles of beer.In the harsh summer, having some refreshing beer with fresh seafood with friends is one of the great pleasures in life.It's a pity that Lin Qiutong's drinking capacity is very average, outsiders don't know, but Su Xiu knows it very well, so she drinks more herself and refuses to let Lin Qiutong drink more, "I can't carry it if you drink too much!" There is no way, Lin Qiutong's Height, flat shoes above 170, it is difficult to manage for another girl.

"Tong Tong, has the relationship with the family eased?" Su Xiu hiccupped, grabbed a scallop and started to eat. Lin Qiutong exhaled and took another scallop to fill the gap that Su Xiu took away. Said salty: "That's it."

"I heard that Shen Jingran is your stepmother." Su Xiuhong raised her face and said with a smile, "She is my goddess, but my goddess is only 30 years old. There is also a daughter who is taller than me, she is 30 years old, haha!" Su Xiu laughed until tears flowed.
