What Wu Dongbin saw when he lowered his head was her dazed expression, and the look in her eyes watching Gu Mingle go away, which made him mistakenly think that she was reluctant to part with her old lover.
"What are you looking at, let's go!"
His long-lost bad temper broke out again, and Lan Caini couldn't help but look up and frown at him.
"Let's go." But now her mind was in a mess, and she was unable to appease his bad temper that had flared up for some reason, so she could only silently follow his footsteps and leave.
This was the first time that their outing ended in disappointment. The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, they obviously held hands and walked together, but Wu Dongbin found that he still didn't understand her.
And she also didn't understand him.
Before returning home that day, Wu Dongbin suddenly asked a question, which broke the peaceful relationship between the two of them.
"Xinjie, will you follow me back to Taipei?"
Those words still echoed in her ears clearly, but at that time she couldn't answer, she could only lower her head, and fled from his arms in a hurry. Although he was disappointed, he didn't want to force her to give an answer right away, but hoped She can think carefully.
Afterwards, neither of them mentioned Gu Mingle again, nor did they mention their respective anxieties and suspicions. They still played around and flirted occasionally as before.
But both of them knew that, in fact, some things were different.
She agreed to associate with him, but only if he lives in this small town. Here, they don't have a control group for each other living in the city. He has never seen her helpless in the big city, and she doesn't know him. What is it like there, so she is willing to open her heart to like him, and also convince herself that he loves her very much.
After all, Lan Caini didn't think their relationship was serious from the bottom of her heart, so when Wu Dongbin asked her to follow him, she hesitated.
Wu Dongbin is not stupid, so he knows as far as he can. When he found that Lan Caini was stiff all over, he didn't continue this topic.
But there are some things that can be regarded as not happening if they are not mentioned.
Lan Caini closed her eyes, standing outside his study room, listening to his conversation on the phone faintly coming from the c***k of the door.
"Okay. My foot injury is almost healed... I will go back as soon as possible, give me a little more time...
"Well, you can hold on to the company's affairs. Send me the information on the recent major cases, and you can decide for the cases below 50 million...Okay, that's it..."
After he hung up the phone and Lan Caini adjusted his mood, he walked in slowly, "Busy?"
"No, it's just a few phone calls."
"Yeah." Lan Caini took out his usual massage tools from the cabinet next to him, took a small chair and sat at his feet, rolled up his trousers and applied ointment, and asked casually, "You Is there any problem with the company after resting for so long?"
Even though his foot injury has almost healed, she is still used to massaging him every day, hoping to relieve some of the burden on his muscles.
She never deliberately inquired about him, but since the two dated, he would take the initiative to tell her some things about himself and let her know.
"It's no problem. Yihan is in charge of the company for me. If it weren't for his reliability, he wanted to find someone to tie me here to recuperate. It would depend on other people's consent."
"Yihan? Your brother?" She remembered the man who came here last time, and she took half a day off with his blessing, but at that time, she was only concerned with running away from this man who was electric discharge, and didn't notice him name and appearance.
"Well, I'll introduce you to each other when we meet next time." Wu Dongbin gently brushed the hair from her forehead, but saw a firm light flashing in her eyes.
Immediately, his hands froze, and he wished that what he had just seen was just an illusion.
Lan Caini didn't answer his words, as if he didn't say anything just now, but just tried his best to massage his feet, so hard that she almost sweated all over.
Until the end of the massage session, neither he nor she spoke again.
She was thinking about how to speak, while he was thinking about the message revealed in her eyes just now.
He sat on the chair and remained silent. Lan Caini put away the utensils and put them back in the original cabinet. With her back to him, she suddenly said, "I don't want to go back with you."Wu Dongbin raised his head instantly, looked at her back, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he still asked calmly, "Why?"
"There is no reason. I just don't want to go back to live in the big city."
After returning to her hometown, she realized that the busy life like a spinning top was not what she wanted at all, and that kind of pace made her unable to relax.
She thought, she was probably born in the country, unable to adapt to urban life at all.
"Xinjie, wouldn't it be good to go back with me? You know, after I go back, I won't be able to spend too much time here with you, and we will lose a lot of time together."
Lan Caini was silent for a moment, but said calmly, "I know."
"Since you know...then you don't care that we might break up because of our long-distance relationship?"
"If you will break up, it's the same even if you live next door." If you have the heart, even if you are separated by a Pacific Ocean, your heart will not change.
"You should understand that love is the most difficult thing to withstand the test." Wu Dongbin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to see what was going on in her heart.
She is different from any woman he has ever known.
But maybe it's because they are so different that sometimes he can't understand her thoughts."I know, it's just that I really don't want to go back." She said wearily.
Wu Dongbin walked behind her, put his arms around her, and whispered in her ear, intending to persuade her slowly, "Xinjie, that's where you've lived for several years, you'll get used to it, If you have any worries, whether it's work, where you live or anything else, you speak up and we can work it out together."
"I don't have any worries, I just really don't want to." Lan Caini's tone was both helpless and anxious, "I don't like city life, just like you can't stay here."
The tone of her words was a bit aggressive, which made Wu Dongbin stunned, and the hand that was originally around her was also withdrawn in an instant.
He lowered his eyes, and asked in an extremely soft but cold tone: "So, all the problems are not problems. The only problem is that you want me to stay, but I want you to go with me, right?"
There is no right or wrong in this matter, it's just that they all hope that each other will take a step back.
But at this step, no one can and is unwilling to retreat.
Lan Caini didn't turn around, she didn't even dare to look at his face, she just lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I knew from the beginning that people like you wouldn't stay here for a long time, so I didn't dare to expect you Will really stay in the small town forever, but I have thought about it seriously, I am not used to the life in Taipei, whether it is too dirty air, too many crowds, or the busy pace of life, I think even if I stay there more I won't get used to it after living for a few years, so I appreciate your kindness..."
Sometimes, being unaccustomed to three words can really explain a lot of things, such as now."Lan Caini, what do you mean by someone like me? Please explain clearly to me."
"I've made my words very clear." She bit her lip and turned to look at him.
"Really? Then repeat what you just said." Wu Dongbin stared at her coldly, really wanting to see what was in her head.
"That's all I want to say. Whether you believe it or not, anyway, my explanation is like this. If you are not satisfied with my answer, you...you want to break up, I don't care." Lan Caini was angry. , Said the most unspeakable words.
After she said the words to break up, Wu Dongbin's face was as cold as an iceberg, and his voice was so cold that there was almost no warmth.
"So, after you said so much just now, you just wanted to say this sentence?"
Lan Caini turned her head sideways, bit her lip and said nothing. In fact, she regretted it as soon as she said it, but she really didn't know what else to say, how could she make him understand her thoughts?
"Okay, very good! Lan Caini, this is the first time I have been played like this. The reason you have said so much is just to break up? After the breakup? Do you want to reconnect with your ex-boyfriend? I am now I can tell you, it's impossible!"
"No, it has nothing to do with him!" Lan Caini didn't know why the topic was brought up to Gu Mingle.
In her heart, Gu Mingle has long been like a passerby.
"Isn't it? It's not because he came, so you have to stay with him? It's not because he changed his mind, so even if he betrayed you, you are still willing to forgive him?"
Lan Caini shook her head violently, and hurriedly tried to explain, "No! It's really not..."
"Enough! I don't want to listen to your excuses anymore. If this is your last choice, I can only say that I am very disappointed in you. Maybe you never loved me at all!"
After Wu Dongbin finished speaking, he walked out of the study without looking at her again, leaving behind a distraught Lan Caini who didn't know what to do.
