My Assistant Is CEO - C61
Sophie stayed at Xue Minghuang’s house for a week, and during that time, he gradually felt Xue Minghuang returning home less and less after seeing her mental state gradually recover. Even if she returned, she was only staying in the study room to take care of her own matters.
He knew that with his strength and boldness, and now that he had such a huge ambition, his future career would only rise day by day. He thought that if Xia Ying left, he would have a chance, but there was nothing he could do. Sophie looked out of the window. That matter, he was blaming himself, was he really going to use such a despicable method to stay by his side?
Looking at Xue Minghuang’s dark blue car entering the garage, Sophie’s heart throbbed. There was no other way out, this man was what he wanted. No matter what methods he used, as long as he belonged to him, wouldn’t that be fine? Why bother so much?
Sophie ran into the living room. Seeing that it was Xue Minghuang, he anxiously pulled at his tie, and drank some wine. When she raised her eyes, they were filled with anticipation, and she could clearly see the figure standing in the hall, in a moment of absent-mindedness, but she very quickly saw that it was Sophie. The light in his eyes gradually faded.
How could Sophie not see these details? But she gathered up her courage and walked forward, “You’re back? Drink, is it hard? “Do you want me to …”
Xue Minghuang had already changed his shoes, and walked towards the guest room, his gaze stopped for a moment, and said: “No need, rest, I still have things to take care of.” After saying that, he seemed to realize that the alienation in his tone was too obvious, so he turned to look at her and said, “Thank you.”
Sophie really wanted to say, I don’t need your thanks. However, the words were already on the tip of her tongue. How could she have the qualifications to do so? Not before, but now, after all this, he was even more unqualified. Watching Xue Minghuang enter the house, the sound of the door closing seemed to have been infinitely amplified to his ears.
He felt extremely bitter in his heart. But what could he do? His love had come late, so it had expired. That’s the truth, that’s all.
The wine in the wine shelf seemed to exude an enticing fragrance at this moment. Sophie subconsciously went closer, it was so good, so it could make someone drunk and relieve their worries. Who knew how much he drank, the bottle fell to the ground and rolled a few times, until he stopped at Xue Minghuang’s feet. He picked it up, placed it in the trash can, and walked into Sophie’s room.
Sophie raised his head and looked at Xue Minghuang in a daze, “So it turns out that I’m really not feeling sad now that I’m drunk.” Xue Minghuang lowered his head to look at her face. But at this moment in time, he actually did not feel it at all, but why did he still miss Xia Ying so much? Could it be that he would soon forget everything?
Sophie picked up the wine and gulped down a mouthful of it. Only then did the bitterness in her heart lessen a little. She stood up shakily, a pair of slender white hands gently caressing Xue Minghuang’s cheek. What should she do? She really wanted to be presumptuous.
Slowly approaching, the cold lips close to him, tiptoeing, little by little. Xue Minghuang opened his eyes wide, he did not avoid them, but now, he just wanted to know, could he still love others again?
Sophie mustered up her courage. The memories of that night still remained in her mind, but she knew that no matter if she accepted or rejected, she would only have this one chance. When he returned to Xue Minghuang’s side, it was already too late to release the emotions that he had accumulated for six years. Just this once, even if it was just this once.
Sophie reached her hand out to grab Xue Minghuang’s neck, and brought him infinitely closer to her. Step by step, the corners of his eyes, his brows, and his tall nose — he felt that their breathing was becoming hotter and hotter, and their distance was getting closer.
Xue Minghuang’s hands had been hanging by his sides the entire time, and seemed to be a thousand kilograms. Every cell in his body was clamoring, continuing, continuing. However, the face that constantly appeared in his mind was a clear reminder. If he couldn’t do it, then he couldn’t! He stood there stiffly, not knowing what to make of himself like this.
When Sophie quietly moved closer to the corner of her lips, he still turned her face to the side and dodged. Sophie didn’t dare believe it, nor was she willing to believe it. Do you understand? If you don’t want me to touch anything, please give me everything you can accept. Can’t you fulfill my humble love?
Xue Minghuang pushed Sophie away with a raise of his hand, “I’m sorry.”
Sophie couldn’t bear to let go of his hands, “I’m sorry if I didn’t have to listen, did you know that? “Women hate men the most when they say sorry.” When Xue Minghuang heard this, his heart froze. So that’s how it is. But then, he quickly cursed himself. No matter what, it had nothing to do with him, okay? Why do you want to think about it again?
Sophie leaned on his shoulder, it was unknown whether she was gasping for breath or crying. After a long while, she finally understood that the guilt she felt for her made him unable to ruthlessly push her away, while the guilt for another person made him unable to continue on with it. This kind of man was tempting, but also fatal.
“I’m drunk.” Sophie released both his hands. What a foolish thing to do, to dare do it this way, it truly is great. ” I’ll forget about it when I wake up tomorrow. I’ve rested for a long time, so it’s time for me to go to work. ” After saying that, seeing Xue Minghuang nod his head as if he was relieved of a heavy burden, Sophie could not hold back anymore and laughed at himself.
Both of them turned around and entered the room. Both of them had not slept for the entire night. It was a long, silent, cold night. Sophie sat up on the bed. This was Xue Minghuang’s main bedroom, so even though he had lived here for a very long time and it was still filled with his aura, it really made people nostalgic. However, no matter how much that nostalgia did not belong to them, it would never belong to them.
Xue Minghuang took out the wine he just took out from the wine shelf outside the room. It had been a long time since he had such a love for alcohol, so he started drinking again recently. From time to time, he would drink a little. He watched himself fall into depravity with a clear mind. There was actually a strange kind of happiness.
Xue Minghuang had tried to investigate where Xia Ying had gone to, but there was no trace of him. When he was being impulsive, he also wanted to kidnap An Xiyan and ask him about it. She definitely knew the truth, but after calming down, she would ask him again, what was the meaning of doing this? Yes, I know, and then what?
The scariest thing was not to be unable to solve the problem, but to solve the problem in front of him. Such a cruel question, three words, yet so unexplainable: And then? Even though he understood that he was just putting on an act, he was still holding back his thoughts. This was the thing that made Xue Minghuang most helpless.
The sky was slightly bright, and Sophie heard the sound of the door closing. He left, and he left just like that. Standing by the window and watching the car glide smoothly out of her line of sight, she had a lot of indescribable feelings in her heart. She turned around and packed her luggage, taking everything else with him and trying hard to return the room to its original state.
He carried fresh vegetables and came to prepare breakfast for her. They had been together for a long time, and gradually became more familiar with each other, so he put his luggage to the side and greeted her, “Aunt Mei, you don’t have to come here anymore if Mr. Xue doesn’t want to tell you to. I moved out today and I’ve been living in the wrong place. ”
Aunt Mei was a very knowledgeable person and knew the reason why. I’m afraid that Miss Su was wholeheartedly focused on Mr. Xue, but Mr. Xue was not too grateful to her, so at this time, it was hard for her to say anything, so she could only nod and say, “Then you have my number, so you can call me if you want to eat anything. I’ll make it for you again. ”
Sophie, who was already an orphan, looked at Aunt Mei at this moment. At this moment, the pain in her heart surged as she ran forward and hugged her, preventing her from seeing her tears. Good. Aunt Mei, you take care of your body too. ” When she let go, Aunt Mei’s eyes were actually a little red. As expected, being older makes one’s heart soften.
Aunt Mei looked at her and knew that she had experienced something. Now, looking at this girl who seemed completely fine, she was still very sad. “I’ll make you something to eat. It won’t be too late to leave after that.” Sophie could not refuse, so she nodded and agreed. Aunt Mei’s cooking skills were very good, and she took care of Xue Minghuang for many years.
He couldn’t help but ask Aunt Mei who was busy in the kitchen, “Aunt Mei, do you still remember what happened six years ago?” He didn’t know what the meaning of doing this was, but he really wanted to confirm with an old friend that he had left something in Xue Minghuang’s life. What a horrible and pathetic idea.
Aunt Mei turned the pot over without looking back. “What?” Mr. Xue and I have been together for many years, it’s just six years ago, he seemed to have suddenly returned to France, and only came to visit me occasionally. It’s also only last year that he came back to stay as often as he does now. ”
So that’s how it was. He was no longer in China. Did he return to France after that? Or was it because of something else? “Then, Aunt Mei, do you know why Mr. Xue went back?” With great difficulty, she asked this question. She really wanted to know the answer.
However, before he went back, Mr. Xue seemed to be very upset at first. He didn’t eat much, nor did he sleep much. I heard Jing Feng mention it before, he would go to an amusement park every day, so I’m not sure what exactly he would do, and he wouldn’t come back often.
An amusement park? An amusement park? Had he really been there all along? So it turned out that he still couldn’t let it go. Although he didn’t know what he would get after understanding this, asking would at least make him feel better. At least last night’s blow wouldn’t be that obvious. He was deceiving himself.
Seeing Xue Minghuang tormenting himself day after day, Jing Feng was truly helpless in his heart. He did not know how Xia Ying was able to turn him into such a state today, but Xue Minghuang had interrupted his contemplation. “Jing Feng! Get the person who did this project here right now! ”
Just as Jing Feng nodded his head and left, he said in a low voice, “In the future, don’t look at me with that kind of expression.” Jing Feng did not turn around to open the door and went out. In fact, it was said that the spectators were all behind the scenes, but some shrewd people, how could they be confused? On the other hand, he only felt helpless when he saw himself falling into depravity.
