My Assistant Is CEO - C95
The warm autumn sun shone down on the ground and through the window onto his body. It was warm. The autumn was always so beautiful. The skies were clear, neither hot nor cold, and the roadside of the Jiang City was filled with maple trees and osmanthus flowers. They were all plants that could be seen everywhere, but when autumn came, the Jiang City would always be decorated extremely beautifully.
The maple leaves on the side of the road started to turn red. Xia Ying stared at the maple tree and couldn’t help but think, these leaves would fall soon. However, some beautiful scenery was so cruel. Sacrificing, in exchange for this scenery, it was really …
In the end, she broke the awkward silence, and it was still Xia Ying’s mobile phone that rang. Xia Ying felt a sense of relief as she took out her phone and saw that it was Qin Shuang.
“Hello?” He couldn’t help but have some doubts in his tone. But hearing it into Xue Minghuang’s ears, it became a different meaning. Warm and soft, it was really gentle …
“Afternoon break? Have you eaten? I want to invite you for a meal. ” Qin Shuang’s tone was always gentle and refined, as though his smile could be seen from his words.
Xia Ying pondered for a moment, and when she thought about the news she had just seen, she actually seemed to be somewhat angry, and she immediately nodded, “Alright.”
Qin Shuang was obviously shocked by Xia Ying’s straightforward reply, “Then, where should we meet up? Last time I heard you say that you wanted to eat that Western cuisine in the south of the city, right? “What do you think?”
“Alright.” Xia Ying was also very surprised. She had actually remembered a little preference that was casually mentioned, and it had even been stuck in his memory for more than a month. There was even a hint of excitement in her tone.
Qin Shuang asked for the location, and the two hung up. Xia Ying was still holding onto her phone, not thinking about what would happen to Xue Minghuang at all. Maybe she was really angry at the beginning, but eating with Qin Shuang was not something that Xia Ying would reject. He was a very gentle person, and being with him would be very comfortable.
On the other hand, Xue Minghuang who was by the side was already silent. After calling Xia Ying, he became even more silent, and Xia Ying knew that he had heard the location of the agreement, so she did not bother to say it again.
Xue Minghuang knew that whenever he met Xia Ying, he would become extremely foolish. Admittedly, he seemed to have done another stupid thing. The moment he heard that voice, he knew it was Qin Shuang again. It was actually Qin Shuang again. Listening to Xia Ying and Qin Shuang’s tone of voice, Xue Minghuang knew that the two of them were definitely not ordinary friends.
The dull pain in his heart could not be explained, nor did he dare to express it. What kind of delusions and expectations did he still have? It had been five years, but she and Qin Shuang had actually been five years … Then what did he count as to her, Xia Ying, five years ago? What is it? He wanted to ask, but felt that he couldn’t.
Always keeping a little bit of expectation, I don’t know what’s the meaning of such expectation?! Xue Minghuang stopped looking at Xia Ying, and when he arrived at the agreed location, he parked the car at the side of the road, and stepped on the brakes. Luckily Xia Ying was prepared, otherwise, he would have lost face.
Xia Ying thanked him and undid her seat belt, but was unable to open the car door. She felt a little helpless, but she kept her emotions in check and turned to look at Xue Minghuang, staring at him coldly and coldly. She did not say a word, her gaze was similar to when Xue Minghuang first met Xia Ying, when she looked at him.
Xue Minghuang suddenly burst out laughing, only that smile, I really don’t know how to describe it, it was bitter and conflicted, “Really, anyone can?!” It seemed to be a question, a sigh, a statement. The people who heard it did not understand, and the people who spoke did not know what they were trying to express.
It was just that after the two of them were silent for a moment, Xia Ying seemed to have realized something, and was afraid that Xue Minghuang was talking about the Qin Shuang from just now, and that he could even say that he was okay with anyone. Xia Ying instantly felt as if her originally somewhat warm heart had completely cooled down.
“Same here.” Xia Ying looked at him frankly, and no longer had any feelings anymore. It was as if she had told Xue Minghuang that her matter no longer had anything to do with him.
Xue Minghuang unwillingly opened the door and got out of the car. Xue Minghuang looked at her determined back and finally knew that this was Xia Ying. He was waiting by the side of the road and when he finally arrived, he left with Qin Shuang. And he, and he? or was still left in place by Xia Ying.
The scene was the same as it had been five years ago. However, no matter how many times he experienced it, the pain was still real.
At that time, Xia Ying’s voice was very soft, but it was enough for Xue Minghuang to hear, “I hate lying.”
“My identity? Is that important, Xia Ying? I’m your assistant, Zhong Zhen! I will always be your assistant! Can’t you forgive me once? Could it be that just because I hid the truth once, my life is over like this? I already know I was wrong, Xia Ying, I really know I was wrong. ”
Xue Minghuang only felt that he had already given his all without holding anything back when he met Xia Ying. But in the end, in Xia Ying’s eyes, everything was incomparable to his unimportant identity.
“Forget it, okay?” The moment Xia Ying said these three words, it was as if Xue Minghuang heard the sound of his own heart shattering. Real pain.
Xue Minghuang powerlessly lowered his arm. It turned out that his long time of accompanying and caring for Xia Ying was actually this weak, so vulnerable that he had nothing to say. Seeing Xia Ying, whom he had released, walk past him, he knew that he must be crying.
But Xue Minghuang still reached out and grabbed her arm, and quietly prayed: “Don’t go! Don’t go! Don’t go — Xia Ying, don’t go! ” He had never prayed for anything so lowly before. The moment he said those words, he felt as if something was slowly being removed from his heart.
He was so proud and so humble. From the beginning to the end, he was always the lowliest one.
Even if Xia Ying saw the tears in his eyes, she had still left his side. Comforting herself, perhaps she should have a little more time. Just a little more time, and she would understand everything.
However, it was only now that Xue Minghuang finally understood that it was useless for only one person to keep trying.
Xia Ying thought back to that time when she was silently walking down the long corridor step by step. She felt that she was just like how she was then, pitifully stupid. It wasn’t that he didn’t see the struggle, but was it really worth believing? Unbelievable!
Xia Ying hugged her arms tightly, holding back her tears. She was afraid, why did she always find out that she was being cheated after she gave her heart and soul?
He used to be afraid, but he’s still afraid.
Xia Ying knew that Xue Minghuang was just looking at her like that. How could she not feel that kind of burning gaze? However, he still walked into Qin Shuang’s car without the slightest hesitation. In that instant, Xia Ying only felt that her heart was empty, as if something had been moved out of her mind, or as if something had suddenly collapsed.
The meaning behind these words could not be more obvious. Xia Ying only felt a burning pain in her heart, as if something was being grilled. She originally thought that when she came back here again, no matter what it was, she would not feel anything anymore, but she finally understood that there was no way to let it go.
Qin Shuang saw that she was a little lonely, but he didn’t ask his about it. After all, adults had such tacit understanding with each other, even if you didn’t say it, he wouldn’t ask. Qin Shuang was only driving his car seriously, but he felt that his hug that morning was just too timely, so he invited Xia Ying for a meal. He didn’t expect that she would agree so readily.
He had a feeling that some coincidences were not purely coincidences. After all, the car that was parked by the roadside was quite eye-catching. How could it just be right? Moreover, he still had some understanding of the matters from five years ago.
At this moment, Qin Shuang was somewhat curious in his heart. What kind of person could make such an indifferent Xia Ying be so unforgettable? Even after five years, he still couldn’t get rid of her. And now, she was still so obsessed? This mysterious Xue Minghuang, really made people curious.
When they finally arrived at the cafeteria, Qin Shuang brought Xia Ying to the private rooms on the second floor. All of them had an appointment system, and the security measures were very good, Xia Ying had come by a long time ago and only remembered that the dishes were special and the taste was good.
They had only heard that it was very difficult to make an appointment, and they had not expected that Qin Shuang would settle it so easily. Upon entering the private room, he found that the seats were extremely good, and Xia Ying felt that she should properly thank Qin Shuang.
After ordering the dishes, and while waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes, Xia Ying thought about Qin Shuang’s recent situation and asked politely, “How do you feel?”
If it was anyone else, Qin Shuang would definitely smile and shake his head, saying that he was fine, but if it was Xia Ying who was facing him, Qin Shuang suddenly felt that he couldn’t even speak a lie, “I’m a bit tired, everything else is fine.” When he had warned Gu Qingchen, he had been as calm as ever. It was his turn to feel heavy.
“Then rest, don’t push yourself too much.” Xia Ying also did not know what she should say, so it could be considered suitable. She could only say some common words, but she really didn’t know if those words could really comfort him.
However, Qin Shuang still continued to smile, and from his smile, no one could tell what he was thinking, “Alright.” Qin Shuang lifted his hand to pour some water for Xia Ying.
The two of them finished their meal in peace and harmony, and Xia Ying still expressed her gratitude. If it wasn’t for Qin Shuang’s timely call, he would have been embarrassed for a long time, but Qin Shuang still smiled warmly, “Alright, you really want to thank me, why don’t you come back next time?!”
Xia Ying nodded her head, the two could be considered as an agreement.
