Chapter 56: Is it unreasonable?
Ye Zhenzhen finally made it to the end of the workday, but she didn't feel relieved. Instead, she felt as if a huge stone was weighing heavily on her heart.
From Wen Baijing's secretive eyes, she guessed that the scene just now must have been seen by Wen Baijing.
Emotions are like riding a roller coaster, sometimes soaring to the sky, sometimes falling to the bottom, rising and falling suddenly, with twists and turns.
Ye Zhenzhen felt like she was going to have a mental breakdown. She had made up her mind to cut off her feelings last night. When she was in the store, she was thinking about venting her anger. As luck would have it, she saw Wen Baijing showing weakness.
Ugh!
Even if it ends here, I have to explain it clearly. It would be a bit unwilling to leave without knowing the reason.
【I am in the underground garage. 】
When Ye Zhenzhen was hesitating whether to contact Wen Baijing, she received a message from him.
On the way to the underground parking lot, she kept organizing her words in her mind, trying to prepare a good speech.
Wen Baijing leaned lazily against the car door, squinting his eyes, puffing smoke from his cigarette.
Seeing him from afar with a frown on his face and a cold aura all over his body, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but shudder.
She trotted along, and the "tapping" sound of her high heels echoed in the parking lot.
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to Wen Baijing, she couldn't help but slow down her pace. She looked at Wen Baijing carefully. To be fair, he was still quite charming when he was smoking.
Ye Zhenzhen walked towards him step by step. The sound of her high heels gradually slowed down and became lighter. The occasional passing vehicles and honking horns covered up the sound of her footsteps.
Wen Baijing looked up quietly and sighed. Then, he walked to the trash can and flicked the cigarette butt into it accurately.
He still maintained his proper demeanor, took the initiative to open the passenger door, and protected Ye Zhenzhen as she got into the car.
The inside of the car was as quiet as a stagnant pool of water.
Wen Baijing drove the car steadily, his expression was colder than ever before.
"Are you angry?" Ye Zhenzhen spoke first, asking tentatively.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ye Zhenzhen raised her hand and tugged at his sleeve, with exceptionally careful and reserved force.
"Don't be angry, okay?" She lowered her body and spoke softly and coquettishly.
Wen Baijing silently raised the corners of his mouth, without showing the slightest smile, but rather sounded like he was mocking himself.
In this unbalanced relationship, Ye Zhenzhen's only confidence is that she is not after his money, but this alone is not enough to put them on an equal footing.
Ye Zhenzhen occasionally wanted to escape from this relationship, but even though she knew it was hopeless, she couldn't help but want to get closer.
"We really don't have anything..." She subconsciously tried to explain.
"That's enough." Wen Baijing interrupted her coldly, and said word by word: "Don't mention this person in front of me."
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him aggrievedly, feeling extremely irritated and complicated.
I just opened the door and didn’t have time to change my shoes.
Wen Baijing walked towards the study room on his own, and Ye Zhenzhen quickly reached out to grab the corner of his clothes.
He stretched out his hand to brush Ye Zhenzhen's hand away, but seeing that Ye Zhenzhen was holding on tightly, he had to give up. He strode towards the study, ignoring Ye Zhenzhen's show of weakness.
Ye Zhenzhen was dragged forward, her body swaying unsteadily, her high heels making a long series of "tapping" sounds on the floor tiles.
She was extremely anxious, her mouth was dry and her speech was completely forgotten.
Wen Baijing pushed open the door of the study. She couldn't stop herself and staggered forward, still holding on to the corner of Wen Baijing's clothes tightly.
Seeing Wen Baijing approaching the desk and about to sit down, Ye Zhenzhen stepped in front of him. Perhaps because she was too anxious and used too much force, she almost sat on the desk.
She freed one hand to support herself on the desk and used the force to stand up straight.
The two were only about ten centimeters apart, and the atmosphere was quite ambiguous.
Neither of them was willing to give in, and the two were in a stalemate.
Wen Baijing's chest kept rising and falling, with the amplitude getting larger and larger. Ye Zhenzhen deliberately lowered her breath, and if she breathed a little harder, she would touch Wen Baijing.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, leaned forward, and the warm breath hit her face. He asked softly, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Zhenzhen leaned back, raised her head slightly, and whispered softly: "I want you to believe me."
He did not answer. Ye Zhenzhen could not see his emotions, nor could she tell whether he was happy or angry.
He stared at Ye Zhenzhen without blinking, his deep eyes still unfathomable, without a trace of ripples.
Ye Zhenzhen's breathing began to become disordered, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and the rise and fall of her chest gradually increased.
He leaned forward a little further and said in a low voice, "That depends on what you do."
Ye Zhenzhen unconsciously leaned back, loosened her hands that were holding onto the corner of his clothes, and placed her hands on the desk to stabilize her center of gravity.
Wen Baijing stood up straight, took two steps back, and seemed to be about to step out.
She didn't know what to do for a moment, and in desperation, she threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist.
"Don't go..."
Ye Zhenzhen stood on tiptoe and kissed his Adam's apple, her kisses falling messily on his neck.
Her action obviously caught him by surprise, and he froze in place, his Adam's apple sliding up and down.
She held him tightly, not daring to relax at all, fearing that he would push her away if she relaxed her grip.
Wen Baijing led her into the bathroom and whispered in her ear, "Help me take a bath."
"Do you believe me, then?"
In her confusion, she asked softly with a voice that was on the verge of breaking.
"I don't believe it!" Wen Baijing leaned close to her ear and said softly.
"Asshole!" The soul fell from the clouds to the ground, and Ye Zhenzhen pretended to hit him.
Wen Baijing clamped her wrists, "Haven't you seen how much of a jerk I am?"
"You lied to me..." Her tone sounded more like a coquettish reluctance, and there was no anger in her voice.
The two put on their pajamas and walked leisurely to the sofa in the living room. The afternoon sun exuded a rare warmth, migratory birds returning south circled over Phoenix Lake, and boating tourists paddled.
Ye Zhenzhen lay on his legs, tilted her head back, raised her hand to touch his face, and smiled slyly: "Why didn't you add that girl on WeChat today?"
Wen Baijing lowered his eyes and smiled imperceptibly, "If you dare to do this again next time, I will fulfill your good intentions."
"I did that to increase customer stickiness and repeat purchase rate!" Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment and blurted out a sophistry, "This is also for the company's benefit."
"Using me as bait? What were you thinking?" Wen Baijing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He clamped her jaw and said angrily, "What's in your mind?"
"For the benefit of the company, I can even sacrifice you. I'm so selfless. Shouldn't you praise me?" Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "Or give me an outstanding employee award?"
Wen Baijing slowly tightened his grip around her and sighed, "I'm so lucky to have you!"
Then he asked, "Are you trying to make me angry today?"
Ye Zhenzhen pried his hands apart, sat up, and asked nervously, "Who was angry and ignored me yesterday?"
Wen Baijing held her shoulders, leaned forward, and slowly threw her down under him, with a helpless smile, "Are you reasonable or not?"
