C18 Kinship?
But the moment her hand touched the doorknob, her steps paused in the air, and something flashed through her mind. She wanted to grab onto more, but when she wanted to dig deeper, there wasn't a single trace left in her mind.
The moment he walked out of his office, he impatiently took out his cell phone and called his good friend, Mu Huan.
"Yeah, you can come to work tomorrow."
"It's true, and it's the higher-ups." His words were filled with the intent to claim credit.
"You want to thank me? What? You don't treat me as a friend? Isn't this what it should be like? "
"Still in the parking lot? "Alright, I'll go down and find you."
When she put down her phone and looked up, she noticed that the dozens of pairs of eyes on the top floor were gathered together, forming an extremely powerful beam that struck her body. Fu Xiaoqian, who had no experience in society, was a little scared but also a little confused. However, thinking about how they were all colleagues from now on, she couldn't just ignore them.
As she thought of this, the corner of her red lips curved up into a beautiful curve. She gave a slight nod to everyone present before quickly running towards the elevator.
It was as if, in just a split-second, she heard something being heavily put down. Following that, everyone let out a long sigh. The caution they had just displayed no longer existed. It was as if someone had just deprived them of their right to live. At this moment, everyone was trying their best to take deep breaths, trying their best to obtain more fresh air. Update First Time
Just as the elevator door was slowly closing up, Leeson suddenly appeared and bowed deeply to her through the gap. Fu Xiaoqian was at a loss for what to do about this sudden change of events.
"Why are you frowning after this?" When Mu Huan saw Fu Xiaoqian from afar, she tilted her head and glanced 45 degrees away. Her crescent-like eyebrows were deeply furrowed and her small face was about to scrunch up into a frown. She seemed to be tangled up in something.
"Nothing, just that assistant. His attitude is a little strange." Fu Xiaoqian opened the car door and got in. She buckled herself up before turning to Mu Huan and said in a low voice, "There's still some more news I need to tell you."
"What?" Mu Huan, who was resting her hand on the shift pole, visibly paused. She turned her gaze towards Fu Xiaoqian with eyes overflowing with light and an expression brimming with interest.
"Maybe, starting from tomorrow, I'll be coming to work with you."
"Really?" When Mu Huan heard this news, she was clearly more excited than Fu Xiaoqian. "That's great." He unbuttoned his seatbelt and gave Fu Xiaoqian a big hug.
"In the future, the two of us will work together. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"By the way, did you ask for it?" Mu Huan asked in a seemingly casual manner, but her eyes were tightly locked onto Fu Xiaoqian's face, not missing a single trace of change in detail.
"It's a deal." Although she was happy that she could work together with a good friend, she couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about how Liao Zhenbo had played along with her.
"Exchange?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." We'll have to make the most of this afternoon and start working tomorrow. " Fu Xiaoqian did not want to mention the agreement in front of her good friend. She was afraid that it would burden her, so she forced herself to lift her spirits and squeeze out a relaxed expression.
At this moment, her cell phone rang again. "Mom."
"What?" Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something and secretly hid the rest of her words. A pair of starry eyes uneasily glanced at her good friend next to her. She was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she hurriedly hung up the phone.
For the rest of the afternoon, she had been unable to explain the reason behind her parents' actions and what the meaning behind it was. Was it really just to stabilize Liao Zhenbo and ease the predicament and crisis that her family was in?
Or could it be that he was afraid that she would go back on her word and settle the matter before him?
When she thought of her luggage being sent to Liao Mansion after she left the villa, the first thought that popped into her mind was disobedience. However, the situation at home was something she had no choice but to consider.
The only thing she could do was to waste time. She dragged Mu Huan outside and dragged her until midnight before she slowly took a taxi back to Liao's home.
When she got out of the car and stood alone outside Liao Residence in the middle of the night, she realized the seriousness of the problem. She did not have the key here. His purpose for coming back so late was to miss the time when he might meet with Liao Zhenbo, so he could not call him.
She was looking around for a way to enter the house, in the dim light from the courtyard wall.
The lights in the mansion suddenly lit up. Fu Xiaoqian quickly dodged to the side and hid behind the fence next to the door. Only his eyes could be seen peeking at the person who walked out.
He saw a slightly stooped figure wearing a thin coat hurrying towards the door. The faint yellow light from the lamp behind her enveloped her body with a layer of loving radiance, causing Fu Xiaoqian's heart to grow larger and larger.
Like a clear spring, it slowly flowed into Fu Xiaoqian's heart and nourished her dry heart. Her eyes became moist. She did not expect that she was just an outsider, yet she felt a long-lost love.
A single lamp for her, a single person waiting for her, such a scene had only ever appeared in her dreams.
"Mother Wu." Fu Xiaoqian ran out from the darkness. She called out to the old man before her excitedly. The voice that came out of her parched throat was trembling.
"Child, you've been waiting for a long time, right?" Mother Wu pressed the remote control and the heavy door slowly opened up in front of Fu Xiaoqian. Mother Wu quickly stepped forward, "It's cool at night, quickly put it on."
Only then did Fu Xiaoqian realize that there was a coat hanging on her rather short arm. The clear spring water that was bubbling up from the bottom of her heart had finally found a window to vent its feelings. Tears flowed down her eyes and into her mouth, rolling down to her tongue.
"Mother Wu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Fu Xiaoqian took Mother Wu's arm and moved her head closer to her small body, capturing the feeling of kinship.
"No, no." Actually, it was another person who had been waiting for a long time. She raised her cloudy gray eyes and looked towards the window that had already dimmed down.
Sigh, she was clearly so concerned about him, yet she had to act so indifferent in front of him, why did she have to suffer so much?
"Mother Wu, you are such a nice person. You're like my mother. You're the only one here who makes me feel warm. "
"I dare not, child. Perhaps before long, you will know who is truly good to you. " She raised her wrinkled, brown paper-like hands and lightly patted Fu Xiaoqian's hand.
The eyes that looked down at her shone with a brilliant light, like stars in the endless sky, guiding the direction of the lost. Her lips opened and closed gently.
When she remembered her young master's order for her to come and open the door, her words were cut short.
However, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that it wouldn't take too long. She really did not want someone as good as her young master to live in the shadows of the past and be truly happy.
When Fu Xiaoqian finished her shower, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
She knew that Zoran might still be in the morning, and although she didn't want to disturb his work, she couldn't calm down. She wanted to share her feelings with someone, so she dialed the number in France.
"Of course." As she spoke, she walked towards the window. In just two days, she seemed to have fallen in love with this window sill. It was because from here, she could see a large area of purple flowers. Although she couldn't see them at night, the fragrance that was brought over by the wind made her intoxicated.
"Did you disturb your work?" She was somewhat cautious.
"What?" Really? Have you now entered the transition phase? " His voice rose a few notches higher with his mood.
"Great! From now on, we no longer need to separate the two places."
"No, it's been a long time since I've painted." Fu Xiaoqian raised her bright broom eyes and looked up at the vast starry sky. The night seemed particularly clean, the stars shining brightly, smiling at her.
In a trance, the stars seemed to be moving, slowly outlining the familiar outline in her mind.
"You've been gone for so long, how could you still remember your appearance?"
"Of course, why don't you bring me back to your memories?" Sweet and witty.
"Hahaha …" A string of bell-like laughter spilled onto the empty night sky, resounding in her ears and pounding on her heart, creating a beautiful melody. "Tsk, how could you be so handsome?"
"Mm, got it. You'll be surprised when you come back."
Fu Xiaoqian was like a mouse that had come out at night to look for food. She quickly hid in a safe corner.
He simply said good night to Zhuo Ran, hung up, and then dimmed the lights in the room.
However, he didn't know that since that night, the person next door hadn't gotten a good night's sleep.
