Back at the office, I felt a bit down. I didn't expect to run into Li Rong today. I thought I could forget about him. But seeing him today made me realize that I couldn't forget him at all. He didn't even say much to me, yet he still affected my mood. 0
 
I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my temples. Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Xu Qian calling. I answered, "Hello?" 0
 
Xu Qian's voice came through, "I'm downstairs at your office." 0
 
"..." I frowned slightly, "Didn't you say you'd be back the day after tomorrow?" 0
 
Xu Qian's tone was calm, "I finished my work early." 0
 
"..." I took a deep breath, "What do you want?" 0
 
Xu Qian replied, "To eat." 0
 
"..." I pulled at the corner of my lips, "I don't have time." 0
 
Xu Qian said, "I'll wait for you." 0
 
"..." I had no words to respond. I hung up the phone and continued working. 0
 
... 0
 
An hour later, I left the office. Before going downstairs, I took a glance at the elevator entrance. Sure enough, Xu Qian was standing there. He leaned against the wall with his eyes downcast, lost in thought. 0
 
I hesitated for a moment and turned to walk back. I couldn't go down; if I did, Xu Qian would definitely pull me away. But just as I took a step, Xu Qian's voice suddenly called out, "Liu Yajie." 0
 
 
I stopped in my tracks. 0
Xu Qian's voice rang out, "I see you." 0
"..." 0
I took a deep breath, turned around, and smiled at him, "What a coincidence." 0
Xu Qian's expression was indifferent, "Not a coincidence, I was waiting for you." 0
"..." 0
I chuckled lightly, "What brings you here?" 0
Xu Qian looked at me, "I told you, I was waiting for you." 0
"..." 0
My smile froze. 0
Xu Qian walked over and looked at me, "Don't you want to have dinner with me?" 0
"..." 0
I blinked, "No, I..." 0
Xu Qian interrupted me, "Do you want to have dinner with Li Rong?" 0
"..." 0
I was taken aback. 0
Xu Qian stared into my eyes, "Liu Yajie, you told me yesterday to come find you." 0
"..." 0
I opened my mouth, "I..." 0
Xu Qian interrupted me again, "Don't you want to have dinner with me?" 0
"..." 0
I took a deep breath, "I don't want to eat out." 0
Xu Qian fixed his gaze on me, "Then let's eat at home." 0
"..." 0
I frowned, "I'm very tired." 0
Xu Qian's voice was calm, "I can help you with a foot massage." 0
"..." 0
My scalp tingled. 0
Xu Qian stared at me, "Is that okay?" 0
"..." 0
 
 
I felt uncomfortable under his gaze. 0
I sighed, "Alright." 0
Xu Qian's expression softened a bit. 0
... 0
Xu Qian drove me to a private restaurant. 0
In the private room, Xu Qian poured me a glass of wine. 0
I took it and sipped; it tasted good. 0
Xu Qian looked at me, "You and Li Rong..." 0
I looked up at him. 0
Xu Qian continued to stare at me, "When did you two start?" 0
"..." 0
I tugged at the corner of my lips, "What does that have to do with you?" 0
Xu Qian's voice was cold, "When we were in bed, were you thinking of him?" 0
"..." 0
My expression changed, "What nonsense are you talking about?" 0
Xu Qian fixed his gaze on me, "Is that so?" 0
"..." 0
I took a deep breath, "I broke up with Li Rong a long time ago." 0
Xu Qian's expression eased slightly. 0
I looked at him, "What exactly do you want to say?" 0
Xu Qian's voice was still cold, "You told me yesterday to come find you." 0
"..." 0
I stared at him, "I was drunk yesterday." 0
Xu Qian replied coldly, "You said that even when you were drunk." 0
"..." 0
I had no words left. 0
Xu Qian continued to stare at me, "Liu Yajie, I've done everything I promised you. What about your promise to me?" 0
"..." 0
I opened my mouth, "What did I promise you?" 0
Xu Qian's voice remained cold, "Think for yourself." 0
 
 
"......" 0
I recalled carefully. 0
Xu Qian said he had fulfilled all the promises he made to me. 0
What did he promise me? 0
As I thought about it, I suddenly realized that the promises Xu Qian made seemed to be trivial matters. 0
For example, he promised me that he wouldn't eat sweets after ten o'clock at night. 0
Another example is that he promised me to brush his teeth before having breakfast every morning after getting up. 0
He remembered these trivial matters clearly and kept his promises. 0
But he hadn't fulfilled any of the significant promises he made to me. 0
I suddenly realized that I seemed to have never asked him for anything. 0
I had always played by his rules without making any requests. 0
I looked at him: "What do you want?" 0
Xu Qian stared at me: "What do you think?" 0
"......" 0
I fell silent. 0
Xu Qian stared at me: "Speak." 0
I looked at him: "What do you want?" 0
Xu Qian's voice was cold: "What do you think?" 0
"......" 0
I fell silent again. 0
Xu Qian stared at me: "Speak." 0
I looked at him: "I don't know." 0
"......" 0
Xu Qian stared at me for a long time before speaking: "Spend the night with me." 0
"......" 0
