Chapter 161 Soft-hearted
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there are busy cars and neon lights, reflecting the night view of the entire City A.
Su Yixia moved her shoulders and neck, did some stretching exercises, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. He frowned slightly. The bitterness of the coffee cheered him up again, and he concentrated on staring at the computer screen.
Financial statements.
Su Zian finished sorting out the last document and looked at his watch. Unknowingly, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. He cleared the table casually, picked up his briefcase, and left the office.
While waiting for the elevator, the lights of the Finance Department caught his attention. Who else was working hard at this point? He turned around and stepped over.
Su Yixia looked at the computer from time to time, then looked at the files on the desktop, checking them meticulously.
Su Zian at the door showed a happy smile. His younger brother had a good personality since he was a child. He was serious about work and knew how to advance and retreat. He stood at the door and did not want to interrupt him.
Su Yixia's shoulders were always sore, probably due to sitting and standing for a long time. He moved a little bit more and spotted the figure watching him out of the corner of his eye.
"Brother?"
Seeing that he was discovered, Su Zian walked in.
"Is it disturbing your work?"
"It's almost over. The last report. Brother, have you also worked overtime until now?"
The boy's face was full of exhaustion, but he still had a smile. The harder he worked, the stronger the Zuo Su family would be.
"Well, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this project, so I'll keep a closer eye on it." Su Zian said calmly and calmly.
Su Zi'an was not afraid of the Jian family who was eyeing him. His methods were always quick and precise, and he would not give the Jian family any chance.
"Is Sheng Fei asking you to work overtime again?"
He still frowned. Su Yixia had only had a cup of coffee on the table since she had been working. She must have not even eaten dinner. This Su Shengfei, when he mentioned him, even Su Zi'an felt a headache.
"Hehe, you also know that my second brother can't do this kind of delicate work. Han Xiaojun has been working overtime for several nights. I can do the rest."
Su Yixia didn't show off her hard work. To him, it was just his job. The big boy was shy and was not good at being praised.
"Then you finish early, I'll leave first." Su Zian said hello without saying anything more and prepared to leave.
"Brother, just wait for me for another five minutes. Let's go together."
Facing Su Yixia's shouting, he stopped and his expression changed for a moment, but he quickly sorted it out.
"I have other things to do and I won't go back to the mansion."
His expression was indifferent, and Su Yixia didn't see any clues. I don't know what kind of entertainment the eldest brother had, but he was really working hard every day.
"That's it. Brother, you have worked hard and you have to take care of your health. You can go and do your work first."
He feels a little regretful, but he regards his elder brother as the target of admiration and needs to work harder.
"Um."
Su Zian responded, feeling a little uncomfortable, especially when looking at Su Yixia's sincere face, some deception made him feel guilty.
When Su Zian walked in, Lin Zhitang enthusiastically took his slippers and naturally took the briefcase in his hand.
The apartment was filled with the aroma of food.
"You must be tired. The food is a bit cold. I'll heat it up. You can rest for a while first."
Lin Zhitang hurriedly took the food on the table back to the kitchen. She remained calm and quietly looked at the people in the living room.
She was very vigilant in her words. He arrived home more than an hour late today, but she did not dare to ask. She made a tentative comment that the dish was cold, but Su Zian had no intention of explaining.
The man on the sofa was not in a high mood. He was thoughtful and his expression was so cold.
Lin Zhitang speculated that although he was taken to Su Zi'an's private apartment, he would come here to eat every night after get off work, but he had never stayed overnight. He would usually be perfunctory, but today he didn't even pretend.
These days, she tried her best to please him. She had no objection to anything he did, as long as he was still by her side.
Could it be that news today? She gritted her teeth, knowing in her heart that Jian Shu must have done something behind her back. She left suddenly, without explaining anything to the old servant Jian Shu left behind, and even turned off her mobile phone.
Yes, I must have offended that woman.
Su Zian was melancholy, looking at the busy figures in the kitchen. He couldn't find any faults. All her well-behaved eyes could be seen, and she no longer had the pampering of the past. He sighed for a moment that he couldn't hide her like this forever.
Su Zian thought about sending her abroad, but he was reluctant to give up. Lin Zhitang would not agree. This was a headache for him. Now, he could only take one step at a time.
Lin Zhitang cooked a table full of dishes. She also knew that in this state, she should not go out too much. As the saying goes, if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first keep his stomach!
When she has nothing to do, she always reads recipes, or else she watches videos of various food tutorials, cooking for Su Zian in different ways every day.
However, all he got in return was his careless praise, "It's delicious, not bad." All the compliments remained the same.
Today at the dinner table, he was surprisingly quiet, eating silently, and his appetite was not good. He was basically counting the rice grains in the bowl, and he never touched the dazzling array of dishes.
I thought that losing my status and getting a happy life like a young couple would be worth it. However, everything was far from Lin Zhitang's imagination.
All this time, she swallowed her anger and always reminded herself that it was not yet time, and when the time came, she would get everything back!
"Zi'an."
"Zhitang."
I don't know where the tacit understanding between the two people came from, but they actually spoke in unison.
"Zi'an, you go ahead." Lin Zhitang smiled and virtuously took some vegetables for him.
"Do you want to go back to the North to stay for a while?" His words were hesitant, but he seemed to have considered them for a long time.
With a clatter, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the plate and rolled to the ground. Lin Zhitang quickly picked up the chopsticks and walked to the kitchen in a panic.
"It's not appropriate for you to be here now."
Su Zian's voice was not loud, but Lin Zhitang in the kitchen heard it clearly. She was trembling all over, Beiguo! That was all her nightmares. She finally crawled out, how could she go back!
Lin Zhitang took a new pair of chopsticks and walked out. She sat on the dining chair in an orderly manner.
"Zi'an, I...I don't want to go back...my father died there..."
She was embarrassed, choked, and fear dominated her everything.
I thought Su Zian would give up this idea, but unfortunately...
"Then let's go to Mo Sangguo." His voice had no elasticity and could not tolerate her rebuttal.
"Zi'an, do you want to drive me away? I will really be obedient. I will not leave this room. I will not cause you any trouble. Don't send me away. You are afraid of the media. You don't have to.
Come see me every day, just once in a while, once a week or once a month is fine! Don’t let me be too far away from you! Can you? I don’t want to be alone in a foreign country. I’ve had enough of that kind of life!
"
She burst into tears and begged, expecting him to change his judgment on her. Her almond-shaped eyes revealed her cowardice and helplessness.
A pair of cold hands wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and he sighed, his heart aching. Everyone thought that as his woman, she was like a star over the moon. However, Lin Zhitang lived a life in hiding.
In Tibet, even when you go out to buy groceries, you have to look forward and backward.
"If you don't want to go, don't go. Don't cry."
My heart still softened, and I didn't know how many disasters it would cause later by letting go.
