wood, bring me here

Familiar voice, soft voice, who else but Yuan Yuan.

The fingers holding the wine glass tightened slightly, Li Jie turned around.

Yuan Yuan was wearing a purple Chanel tube top evening dress, outlining her exquisite and graceful figure, her long black hair was rolled up high, and her amethyst earrings were dazzling under the light.

In my impression, Yuan Yuan seldom wore purple clothes in the past, but today she has two outfits in purple, which is quite surprising.

Looking at the person in front of him, Li Jie looked as usual: "Mrs. Du hasn't gone back yet?"

"Just about to go," Yuan Yuan glanced sideways at her surroundings and whispered, "Are you free now? I have something to tell you."

Li Jie looked into Yuan Yuan's eyes, and suddenly he caught sight of a figure at the entrance of the banquet hall from the corner of his eye.

The tall figure, wearing a long black coat, is particularly eye-catching among a group of glamorous people.

At this time, he was looking around there, as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly, the man's gaze caught this place, and he strode towards Li Jie.

Seeing the man walking in his direction, Li Jie frowned subconsciously, and his clear voice was turbulent: "Let's talk here if we have anything to say."

Yuan Yuan's face turned pale: "There are too many people here, I don't want others to disturb us."

Li Jie's brows were tightly locked. On the one hand, he didn't want to be alone with Yuan Yuan, and on the other hand, he didn't want the man to misunderstand him.

"Manager Li."

The man's voice had already passed through the crowd, low and magnetic.

Li Jie raised his head suddenly, his eyes fell on the man.

The other party looked at Li Jie with deep eyes, and showed hesitation after seeing Yuan Yuan standing beside him.

Yuan Yuan followed Li Jie's line of sight, and after seeing the strange man, she said sadly, "Manager Li, are you even willing to give me these few minutes?"

Li Jie glanced at Yuan Yuan, thought for a few seconds and then looked up at the man again, then shook his head at him.

The man was stunned for a moment, nodded woodenly, then turned and went out.

Yuan Yuan said, "Manager Li, I'm really sorry, I have to delay you for a few minutes."

"It's okay." Li Jie pointed to the lounge beside him and said, "Let's go over there."

The two came to the lounge, where He Meilin and a few girls from the department happened to be resting. Seeing Li Jie bringing Yuan Yuan over, they quickly got up and went out.

When He Meilin left, she helped close the door.

When she walked to the door, He Meilin happened to see Qin Shaoyang standing by the wall, and asked strangely, "Master Qin, why are you here?"

"Hello, Manager He."

Qin Shaoyang turned around and greeted He Meilin.

"Are you waiting for someone?"

"Well, Manager Li has something to do with me, so let me wait for him here."

Qin Shaoyang told a little lie.

"Oh."

He Meilin nodded, chatting and laughing with her two colleagues and left.

"Hey, the one who went in with Manager Li just now is Du Sheng's wife, right?"

"That's right, didn't you just marry Du Sheng a few months ago? It even made headlines at the time."

"It's really a blessing to be able to marry Du Nanshen... I remember her name... Oh, yes, Yuan Yuan..."

Several young girls gradually walked away, could there be voices coming over.

Hearing Yuan Yuan's name, Qin Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat.

I am not too unfamiliar with the name Yuan Yuan, because Li's mother mentioned it before, and Li Jie also showed a little resistance when he heard the name.

What is the relationship between this person named Yuan Yuan and him?

While Qin Shaoyang was meditating outside the door, Li Jie and Yuan Yuan sat face to face on the sofa in the lounge.

There were chatter and laughter outside, but there seemed to be something stagnant in the room, which made the whole atmosphere of the room very depressing.

Li Jie put the wine glass on the tea table in front of him, and said in a calm voice, "Mrs. Du, there are only the two of us here, so let's talk if you have anything to say."

Yuan Yuan put her hand on the armrest of the sofa, looked straight into Li Jie's eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have changed a lot, you are better and more capable than the one I knew back then."

Li Jie said calmly, "Thank you Mrs. Du for your compliment."

Yuan Yuan smiled bitterly: "You call me Mrs. Du, Li Jie, can't you call me by my name?"

Li Jie was still very calm: "You are Mrs. Du's wife and tonight's special guest, so it's understandable for me to call you that."

"Is it?"

Yuan Yuan's voice was obscure, and an imperceptible sadness flashed in her eyes.

The two were silent for a while.

Li Jie said abruptly, "I met Teacher Ye just now."

Yuan Yuan's shoulders trembled slightly, and she hesitated, "Did you know something?"

"what do you know?"

"You really know," Yuan Yuan bent her lips bitterly, her eyes dimmed: "There was a reason for that incident, and I had no choice but to do this behind your back. Listen to me..."

Li Jie said meaninglessly: "Whether I know it or not, there is no need to explain it now."

Yuan Yuan was startled, and her slender arms firmly supported the armrest of the sofa: "Li Jie, my father was not in good health at the time, and I didn't want him to be hurt, so I..."

At this point, Yuan Yuan was a little bit at a loss for words.

Li Jie's eyes were cold.

Originally thinking that he was the one who got Yuan Yuan involved, Li Jie always felt guilty towards Yuan Yuan in his heart.

But after knowing the news of her marriage to Du Sheng at that time, and hearing what Mr. Ye said today, Li Jie realized that he was the only one who was a fool from the beginning to the end.

Now, this person wants to explain and apologize for what he has done, Li Jie just feels helpless and ridiculous.

Yuan Yuan calmed down, and slowly stated: "Afterwards, I wanted to explain to you, but you were like that at that time, so I couldn't bear to say any more, because I was afraid that you would never forgive me after knowing the truth... ...But I really had no choice at the time, I happened to know Du Sheng at that time...and my father was also very ill...I was also very contradictory at the time, Li Jie, I'm sorry..."

Maybe it was because she was too excited, Yuan Yuan began to become incoherent after speaking, until she choked up at the end.

Seeing Yuan Yuan like this, Li Jie suddenly found that the person in front of him became so strange.

This woman cheated and betrayed herself for her own selfish desires, and even abandoned herself when she was in a slump in her career. How could she fall in love with such a woman in the first place?

Maybe the self four years ago would be very angry after learning the truth, but now, facing the person in front of him, Li Jie seemed very calm, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter with an unrelated person.

Maybe it's the precipitation of time, or maybe I don't have any feelings for the person in front of me, so I can look at this matter from the perspective of a bystander.

Looking at Yuan Yuan quietly, Li Jie passed the napkin and did not speak.

"Thank you."

Yuan Yuan sobbed softly, took the tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Watching Yuan Yuan's every move, Li Jie's lake-like pupils quietly dimmed.

The other party was still beautiful and dignified, but under the heavy makeup, he could not conceal his tiredness.If you look closely, you can still see the fine lines in the corners of each other's eyes.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, if her married life is unsatisfactory, no matter how high-end skin care products she uses or the gorgeous clothes she wears, she cannot completely cover up the fatigue left on her body.

This kind of fatigue is not only on the appearance, but more from the heart.

Seeing Yuan Yuan become like this, Li Jie remembered some gossip about her and Du Sheng that he had heard.

There were rumors that Du Sheng had a physical disability, and there were also rumors that Du Sheng liked men, and that he married Yuan Yuan just to deceive others.

If a person of his status finds someone in the same circle, there will definitely be troubles, but it will not happen if he finds Yuan Yuan.

After all, Yuan Yuan is just a commoner and has no identity background. She is already lucky to be able to climb up to Du Sheng.Perhaps, Du Sheng also took advantage of her to marry her.

Originally, Li Jie didn't quite believe the rumors, but now it seems that they may not be true.

Although he didn't want to know about the other party's private affairs, one thing is certain, that is, after Yuan Yuan married Du Sheng, life was not good.

However, the road is chosen by oneself. Now that the decision has been made, there is no chance to turn back.Forget it, she was not happy after doing these things, and it was enough to feel guilty for so many years.

After all, she was with herself once.

Looking at the still beautiful but tired face, Li Jie moved his lips: "Forget it, since it's over, I don't want to pursue it anymore."

Yuan Yuan was stunned: "Li Jie, you really..."

Li Jie shook his head: "There's no need to talk about it anymore, the past is over, no matter who is right or wrong, I don't want to mention it again, including you."

Yuan Yuan's lips trembled, and she said in disbelief, "Are you still blaming me?"

"No, you are wrong. In my heart, you will always be that kind and simple girl. I don't want to tarnish your image in my heart because of that incident. Since I don't want to mention it anymore, why do you want to do this?" I am brooding."

Yuan Yuan was quite surprised by Li Jie's answer: "Do you really think so?"

Li Jie looked at Yuan Yuan, still indifferent: "Let the past go, you are married, and I have started a new life, isn't that great?"

Yuan Yuan thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "You're right, since it's all over, then you and I shouldn't be entangled anymore. My husband is still in the hospital, so I'm leaving first."

"I'll take it to you."

Yuan Yuan didn't refuse either, and the two walked out one after the other.

The man was leaning against the wall, with his hands in his pockets, his face seemed expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing Li Jie and Yuan Yuan coming out together, she immediately got up and stood up.

Li Jie smiled slightly at the man, that kind of pure, heartfelt smile softened his temperament.

After getting Li Jie's answer, the man also smiled naively.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words, watching the eye contact between the two, Yuan Yuan was thoughtful.

Li Jie escorted Yuan Yuan into the taxi, and when he was about to leave, the other party suddenly said, "Li Jie, I haven't seen you for four years. You have really changed a lot. What changed you?"

Li Jie thought for a while, then said lightly, "Maybe it's love."

Yuan Yuan drooped her eyelashes: "Then I congratulate you."

"Thank you."

"Is that person your lover?"
