Yun Xiaoruan crouched down and hugged her knees, burying her face in her knees.

The sound of her crying was soft, like a wounded little beast. It made people who heard it feel a dull pain in their hearts.

Qin Zheng stood at the back and lit up a cigarette, looking at her.

There were not many women in his life.

There were even fewer who had an impression of him.

He had never felt that he was a man who could put down everything to coax a woman.

He didn't have that much patience, nor did he have that much energy.

He was interested in Yun Xiaoruan, and it was a feeling that he couldn't even say it himself. At the beginning, he felt that her coming to his life gave him a lot of novelty.

However, the partner he wanted could only be a well-behaved and sensible one.

He felt that he had a lot of things to do, and that he really didn't have the heart to waste time and energy on emotional matters.

He was also reluctant to give up on Yun Xiaoruan.

However, his tolerance towards emotions was only at this level.

After extinguishing a cigarette, Qin Zheng turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, Yun Xiaoruan also stood up and turned around.

Their gazes met unexpectedly.

Yun Xiaoruan was shocked, she did not expect to see Qin Zheng here.

He … Wasn't it supposed to be at the party?

Why was it here?

Yun Xiaoruan thought about it, did not speak anymore, picked up her bag, and turned to leave.

"I'll send you off."

Qin Zheng suddenly said.

Yun Xiaoruan's footsteps paused, "There's no need, I can walk by myself."

After she finished speaking, she quickened her steps and walked forward.

Qin Zheng's footsteps were even faster, he caught up to Yun Xiaoruan in a few steps, and extended his hand to grab hers.

Yun Xiaoruan turned her body, and the tip of his nose struck his chest.

The faint aroma of mint wafted through the air.

Yun Xiaoruan was sure enough, as he felt a wave of warmth.

Qin Zheng's voice sounded above her head.

"It's not easy to take a taxi here."

Yun Xiaoruan laughed and took a step back, opening up a distance between them.

"I have a cell phone. I can get someone else to pick me up."

Qin Zheng looked at her indifferently, "Who are you looking for? Jiang Chengjun? Or maybe, Jiang Chenghao? "

Yun Xiaoruan laughed.

Her bright eyes sparkled under the starry sky.

"I will find an opportunity to repeat, as you told the world before, that there is no longer any relationship between us."

Yun Xiaoruan laughed as she spoke, "So, you don't have to care where I go from now on, and you don't have to care who I am with, when, and where I am."

After Yun Xiaoruan finished speaking, she turned around and continued to walk forward.

After crossing this road, they would reach the highway.

On the way, Yun Xiaoruan reached out and opened her phone, preparing to give Ning Meng a call.

She should still be at the party, I don't know how it is.

He called, but no one answered.

Yun Xiaoruan was a little flustered in her heart.

Qin Zheng's car passed in front of her, and Yun Xiaoruan was a little regretful. If he had followed Qin Zheng just now, he would have asked her to take him back to the Shangguan Family to find Ning Meng, as it would have been faster.

But now, Qin Zheng had already left.

Yun Xiaoruan was extremely anxious.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Yun Xiaoruan looked at the number on her phone and picked it up quickly.

"Jiang Chenghao..."

"Yun Xiaoruan, where are you? Don't lie to me, Ning Meng came here with my uncle, who will come and pick you up? Yun Xiaoruan, tell me, did you run off somewhere crying yourself? "

Yun Xiaoruan was startled, and her heart felt a little unwell.

"Jiang Chenghao, can you pick me up? I just called Ning Meng, she didn't pick me up."

"Ning Meng has already returned home. Over here, some bad things have happened …"

Yun Xiaoruan was startled, "What's not good?"

"I can't explain it over the phone right now, so you stay put. I'll use my phone to locate you."

With that, Jiang Chenghao hung up.

Yun Xiaoruan heard the phone being hung up, and the unease in her heart grew even stronger.

She was somewhat afraid.

When he came out just now, he had forgotten to tell Ning Meng.

No, when he entered the Shangguan Family, he really did not see Ning Meng and Shangguan Hao.

Would something happen to Ning Meng?

Yun Xiaoruan's heart was especially anxious and flustered.

His hands gripped the straps of his bag tightly.

Not long later, Jiang Chenghao's car arrived.

He got off the car, and with a few steps, he jumped in front of Yun Xiaoruan.

"Xiao Rou, are you alright? Why did you come here by yourself? "

Yun Xiaoruan shook her head, "I'm fine, Jiang Chenghao, what happened to Ning Meng? What happened to her? "

Jiang Chenghao's expression changed, and said: "Let's go back first, we'll talk."

Yun Xiaoruan got on the carriage with some fear.

Qin Zheng drove away, passing by Yun Xiaoruan. The gale wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, and also swept up her long skirt.

Qin Zheng was a little agitated in his heart.

He didn't know why.

If this girl was determined to leave, wouldn't he be willing to let her go?

The girl had to grow up. He couldn't force her to do anything.

But why, in his heart now, there was some inexplicable feeling that he didn't understand.

Qin Zheng stepped on the brakes.

He turned around and drove back.

But this time, Jiang Chenghao stopped in front of Yun Xiaoruan.

They faced each other, hands clasped.

Qin Zheng squinted his eyes.

Seeing this.

Jiang Chenghao's car whizzed past him.

Yun Xiaoruan did not even glance at herself.

In the middle of the night, Qin Zheng returned home.

Nanny Wang stood at the door and anxiously said: "Mr. Qin, Miss Lan Lian is here."

Qin Zheng frowned, "What is she doing here?"

Just as they were talking, Lan Lian walked over from the living room and smiled at him, "Qin Zheng, you're back."

Qin Zheng's expression was indifferent, "Xiao Liu, send Miss Han home."

"Qin Zheng... I'm not leaving! "

Lan Lian anxiously stepped forward and pulled Qin Zheng's sleeves.

Qin Zheng's expression turned cold, and his gaze swept across her face.

Lan Lian was so frightened that she unconsciously let go of her hand.

"Qin Zheng, I have a lot of things I want to say to you."

"I don't want to hear a word."

After Qin Zheng finished, he went upstairs.

Lan Lian stood downstairs with a small face that was close to tears.

Even if it was a man who saw it, he would still be moved.

It was a pity that it was not Qin Zheng.

After entering the study, Qin Zheng pinched the center of his brows and sat on a chair.

On the table, there was the folder left behind by the Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu had told him in advance that these were all photos taken by the media during tonight's banquet.

If Qin Zheng felt that there was no problem, he could go to the newspapers and magazines the next day.

Qin Zheng took it out and looked.

It was a very unremarkable picture, and the main character would always be him.

Right at this moment, Qin Zheng was stunned.

The photo in his hand made it impossible for him to shift his eyes away.

In the photo, the one in front was him and Lan Lian.

As for the close-up, it was a person wearing a white skirt.

He knew, it was Yun Xiaoruan.

But he didn't know that Yun Xiaoruan had once used that kind of gaze to follow him.
