The most ruthless is her
Chapter 39
Ruan Mohan took Wang Nuo back home.
At the entrance, Wang Nuo walked in with a bag of vegetables in a daze. Ruan Mohan reminded her: "You forgot to change your shoes."
Wang Nuo came back to his senses: "I'm sorry."
She changed her shoes, walked into the kitchen with vegetables, and Ruan Mohan followed: "Want to help?"
Every time Wang Nuo came to her house to cook, she would ask this question.
Polite and distant.
Wang Nuo smiled: "You don't have to ask me every time, you know I despise your cooking skills, go out."
After Ruan Mohan walked out, Wang Nuo directly closed the kitchen door.
She seemed to lose her strength for a moment, leaning her back against the door, her hand holding the apron hanging down, and the black and white plaid apron hung down to the white floor tiles.
Wang Nuo was stunned for a while, then took a deep breath, raised his hand, put on the apron in his hand, and walked towards the vegetable sink.
******
In the living room, Ruan Mohan turned on his laptop, planning to work overtime at home like every day.
Ruan Qingyin sat in front of the TV, staring intently at an old movie on the screen.
"Aren't you going back to your room to read picture books today?" Ruan Mohan glanced at the screen: "What are you looking at?"
Ruan Qingyin didn't answer, but looked intently.
After watching two frames, Ruan Mohan knew what the movie was: "Pride and Prejudice."
She asked Ruan Qingyin: "You are only nine years old, should you watch this kind of movie?"
Ruan Qingyin was serious: "Mom, sometimes a nine-year-old child knows a lot of things that even adults don't understand."
Ruan Mohan pursed his lips: "For example?"
"For example, I understand that Aunt Nuo likes you." Ruan Qingyin asked Ruan Mohan back: "Do you understand?"
"I understand." Ruan Mohan looked away from the TV screen, looked at his laptop, and typed calmly: "I just pretended not to understand."
Now Ruan Qingyin didn't understand: "Why?"
"Because I pretended not to understand, I can continue to be friends with her."
Ruan Qingyin blinked: "Then does she understand that you understand that she likes you?"
Ruan Mohan stared at the computer screen, typing quickly on the keyboard: "I think she also understands."
Ruan Mohan looks like a real AI robot, the brain is divided into a grid and a program without interfering with each other.It is not difficult for her to chat with Ruan Qingyin while working.
Ruan Qingyin thought for a while and asked again: "Since you understand, and Aunt Nuo understands, why don't you talk about it?"
"I said, we can continue to be friends only if we don't talk about it."
"If she was smart enough, she would never talk to me."
******
After the three of them had dinner together, Ruan Mohan went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette as usual before continuing to work overtime.
Wang Nuo knocked on the soundproof glass door twice, Ruan Mohan didn't turn his head, but just nodded.
The two still maintained the same posture as last time.Ruan Mohan faced the outside of the balcony, leaning on the balcony railing with one hand, smoking a cigarette.
Wang Nuo leaned against the railing, facing the house.
"Where's Yinyin?" Ruan Mohan asked.
"I went back to my room to read picture books." Wang Nuo said, "She seems to be obsessed recently."
Facing the indifferent twilight, Ruan Mohan breathed out a wisp of light smoke.
Now it's getting darker and later.
Wang Nuo turned his head and glanced sideways at Ruan Mohan.The outline of the side face is too charming, light and faint, printed in the twilight, like an ink painting.
Ruan Mohan said lightly, "Why, do you still want to waste a cigarette on me?"
Wang Nuo smiled: "No more."
"Mo Han, do you consider me a friend?"
Ruan Mohan let out a "huh", took a puff of cigarette, and added: "Of course."
Wang Nuo: "Then you treat Mr. Jiang..."
"Boss Jiang has taken a fancy to you, what about you?"
"Is it convenient to tell me?"
"Me?" Ruan Mohan breathed out another wisp of smoke towards the dusk, as if thinking about what to say.
"Let's put it this way, Karen Jiang once said something to me. She said that she is the person I want to be but am afraid of becoming."
Wang Nuo was a little confused: "What does this mean?"
Ruan Mohan: "It's probably hard for you to understand."
Wang Nuo thought for a while: "What about Jian Shuo? Can she understand?"
"Her?" Ruan Mohan looked at the vast twilight. At that moment, Wang Nuo felt that she was looking far, far away, as if she had seen an ancient lake in a thousand years of time and space.
Ruan Mohan said: "I don't know if she understands."
Wang Nuo: "Jian Shuo is very dangerous."
Ruan Mohan: "I know."
"Then you..." Wang Nuo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Why do you keep pestering her? Is it really because of the 500 million?"
"It's because..." Ruan Mohan said, "It's because she might understand."
"What Jiang Karen said."
Wang Nuo's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"She likes you." Wang Nuo said.
Ruan Mohan smoked a cigarette and glanced at Wang Nuo.
"No." Ruan Mohan said, "She won't like me, nor anyone else."
"Wang Nuo, haven't you brought up many children? You know that there are children who are born with a lack of empathy, no emotion, and are innocent and cruel. After growing up step by step, they are domesticated with empathy."
"Jian Shuo is that kind of child who seems to never grow up and never be tamed to empathize."
"Really? Are you sure?" Wang Nuo insisted, "But I think she likes you."
She is not as sensitive as Ruan Mohan and Jian Shuo, but she has liked Ruan Mohan for ten years.
She felt that she had a say in whether anyone else liked Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan replied indifferently: "I hope I'm sure, sure, she won't like me."
She snuffed out the cigarette in her hand: "Otherwise, this game won't go on."
******
At six o'clock in the afternoon on Tuesday, Ruan Mohan got off work on time and came to the underground parking lot.
She stopped: "Don't hide."
She looked into the corner, and there was no sound behind the huge Hummer.
Even the sound of breathing disappeared.
Was it just an illusion of my own ears?Ruan Mohan didn't believe it.
She walked behind the hummer.
Suddenly, a white hand stretched out, moving like a ghost in the dark parking lot, and tugged at Ruan Mohan's slender wrist.
Ruan Mohan lost her center of gravity, this time she didn't have a hand to support the back of her head, and her head hit the wall.
However, the force of pulling her wrist pulled her forward again.
Ruan Mohan's head just lightly knocked against the wall, making a slight "dong".
In the darkness, of course Jian Shuo's flirtatious smile appeared: "Does it hurt?"
"If it doesn't hurt enough, how about I pull you again?"
Ruan Mohan's face was cold, and he didn't want to joke with her: "Why are you here again?"
Jian Shuo smiled and pointed to the Hummer, under the huge tires.
Ruan Mohan glanced at the leftover chicken sausage wrapping paper.
Ruan Mo asked coldly: "Is that what the cat eats, or what you eat?"
Jian Shuo raised the corners of her lips lazily, instead of answering, she asked, "What did you and the glasses girl talk about last night?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Ruan Mohan wanted to leave as soon as he said that, but Jian Shuo grabbed him.
The more lazy the smile on Jian Shuo's face, the stronger the strength of his hands.
A numb pain came from his wrist, Ruan Mohan lowered his head to look, there was already a faint red mark, pinched out by Jian Shuo.
Jian Shuo seemed to be really angry.
The smile on his face was still lazy, and the background of his eyes was cold and empty: "Why?"
"Why can you tell the glasses girl, but not me?"
"Why on earth did you bet with Jiang Karen?"
Ruan Mo gave her a cold look: "Why did I tell you?"
"Wang Nuo is my friend, are you?"
Jian Shuo raised the corners of her mouth and smiled deeper: "It's just because we're not friends, that's why."
She pulled Ruan Mohan back with all her strength, leaned against the corner of the wall, and lowered her head to bite the little mole on Ruan Mohan's earlobe.
Opening his mouth, he said with full strength: "Can my friend do this?"
With the other hand, he rubbed Ruan Mohan's other earlobe fiercely: "Can my friend do this?"
Ruan Mohan pushed Jian Shuo hard with the hand that was not carrying the computer bag: "It's not Saturday afternoon from [-]pm to [-]pm."
"So what?" Jian Shuo buried her head behind Ruan Mohan's ear: "Hasn't our game been upgraded a long time ago?"
Ruan Mohan suddenly grabbed Jian Shuo's hand and poked it in.
Jian Shuo was taken aback for a moment, then Ruan Mo asked in a cold voice: "Look, do I feel anything?"
Jian Shuo's eyes became more ruthless for a moment: "You don't feel it at all, do you?"
Ruan Mo looked at her coldly.
She was well aware that her body was unresponsive.
Jian Shuo's bizarre performance one after another made her feel uneasy, and when she faced Jian Shuo again, her body seemed to be locked.
Roughness, tenderness, all lose their potency, lose their magic.
Jian Shuo squeezed Ruan Mohan's chin: "You don't feel anything about me now, do you?"
"Yes."
Jian Shuo's hand loosened: "Why?"
Ruan Mohan didn't answer, straightened his skirt and walked away.
Jian Shuo followed behind her, and started to chatter like a parrot again: "Why? Why? Why?"
Ruan Mohan turned his head and stared coldly into Jian Shuo's eyes: "Jian Shuo."
Jian Shuo was taken aback.
For the first time, Ruan Mohan called out Jian Shuo's name clearly and clearly.
Jian Shuo let out a "huh".
Ruan Mohan: "You should know that if you fall in love with me, our game will be completely over, right?"
It's been a long time.
Jian Shuo said "hmm" again.
Then she smiled: "Who would like you? A robot, a perverted old woman."
Ruan Mohan: "That's good."
She walked forward with her computer bag and left a sentence: "The cat in the underground parking lot has moved. I haven't heard its voice here for a long time."
"It's gone, don't come again."
******
On Wednesday, the listening team and the GS team had a regular meeting, chaired by Karen Jiang.
After the meeting ended, Ruan Mohan dragged himself to the end as usual.
Ruan Mohan closed the door of the meeting room after the colleagues who had been beaten to death walked out of the meeting room one after another.
She took the initiative to sit down in front of Jiang Kailun, Jiang Kailun was not surprised, and smiled gracefully at her.
"One month later, Mr. Jian's grandma Yang Haining's birthday party." Ruan Mohan asked Jiang Kailun: "I think Mr. Jiang also received the invitation letter, right?"
Jiang Karen nodded with a smile.
Ruan Mohan: "I asked my colleagues. In the past, Grandma Jian's birthday was always a family gathering. She never invited anyone from the company to hold a birthday party together."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Jiang Karen asked with a smile.
Ruan Mohan raised his head and met Jiang Kailun's sable eyes: "You want to tell me the secret about listening, what exactly is it?"
"Already want to know the answer to this question?" Jiang Kailun smiled: "So, Director Ruan has decided when to come to my house?"
******
Ruan Mohan looked at Jiang Kailun quietly.
"Mr. Jiang." Ruan Mohan said, "As for why I went to your house, I think you should already have your own ideas."
Jiang Karen smiled and didn't deny it: "I'm usually too busy at work, how about Saturday?"
Ruan Mohan said calmly, "What time?"
"After lunch...it's two o'clock." Jiang Kailun seemed casual.
Ruan Mohan looked at her quietly.
Jiang Kailun's mink-like eyes couldn't see through at all.With an elegant smile, but exuding a cold light.
In the eyes of any ordinary person, Jiang Kailun would only think that she is an elegant, decent, and intellectual woman.
Even Ruan Mohan couldn't tell whether Jiang Kailun casually mentioned the time at [-] o'clock on Saturday afternoon, or knew something more about her.
Ruan Mohan asked tentatively, "I'm going to send my daughter to class in the afternoon, how about in the morning?"
Jiang Kailun smiled: "What time?"
It seems that the two o'clock in the afternoon just now was really just a casual mention, and there was no intention of forcing Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan: "Ten o'clock."
Jiang Karen: "Okay."
When he came out of the meeting room, Ruan Mohan stared at his fingertips.
Trembling slightly.
******
In the evening, after Ruan Mohan had dinner with Ruan Qingyin, he discussed with her: "Can I send you to Aunt Nuo's place for a night?"
Ruan Qingyin glanced at Ruan Mohan: "I have nothing to say to Aunt Nuo."
Ruan Mohan pursed the corners of his mouth: "Didn't you have nothing to say to anyone?"
Ruan Qingyin: "Why do you want me to go to Aunt Nuo's?"
Ruan Mohan: "She bought a lot of new picture books recently, you will like them."
Ruan Qingyin: "Excuses."
Ruan Mohan said frankly, "That's right, an excuse."
Ruan Qingyin: "So what is it actually for?"
Ruan Mohan thought for a while: "My medical research is not going well."
Ruan Qingyin: "Why is it not going well?"
Ruan Mohan glanced at her, Ruan Qingyin: "I'm already nine years old, and I've watched "Frankenstein" and "Pride and Prejudice"."
Ruan Mohan couldn't help pursing the corners of his lips again: "It's my medical research object, it seems that there has been a mutation."
"Plus recently, it seems that a stronger and better medical research object has emerged."
Ruan Qingyin: "So you want to replace the previous one?"
Ruan Mohan was silent for a moment: "I don't know either."
"I hope that the mutation of the previous research object is only temporary."
******
Wang Nuo was a little surprised that Ruan Mohan suddenly sent Ruan Qingyin to Xiaoyan.
But Ruan Mohan didn't say much, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She really likes children, including unusual children like Ruan Qingyin, even if Ruan Qingyin is not Ruan Mohan's daughter, she also likes them.
Also, she also sincerely respects Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan was grateful in his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Wang Nuo only said, "Be careful."
After Xiaoyan left, Ruan Mohan drove to the Volcano Bar.
That is, the bar where Jian Shuo first met.
Coincidentally, the song of the female singer Ruan Mohan is most familiar with was also heard today:
"Babe who needs sunshine,
my sunflower.
Shining only in the sun,
Good at passion and beauty. (Note 1)"
Ruan Mohan walked in wrapped in a windbreaker.
Asking for a table in the corner and a glass of wine, Ruan Mohan looked towards the stage.
The person who sang there tonight, coincidentally, was also wearing a gorgeous red dress, with thick black hair hanging down like curls of seaweed.
A face that was slightly covered by long hair, with sharp brows and starry eyes, full of drama.
Ruan Mohan looked at the stage quietly, and felt that this girl looked similar to Jian Shuo.
The girl was originally singing while scanning the audience unconsciously.After noticing Ruan Mohan's sizing up, his eyes moved over and froze.
After the song ended, she walked towards Ruan Mohan.
Sitting directly in front of Ruan Mohan: "Sister, are you alone?"
Ruan Mohan glanced at her indifferently.
The thick black eyes are also like ink.But there are many emotions in it: curiosity, prying, anticipation, lust.
Ruan Mohan shook his head lightly, and said directly: "I'm not interested."
The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, don't force it."
She walked away, walked back to the stage, straightened her skirt with her back facing Ruan Mohan, and prepared to go on stage for the next song.
As she flicked her hair, Ruan Mohan glanced at the back of her neck and made a deep hickey.
Ruan Mohan remembered that during the Spring Festival, in the photo sent by Jian Shuo, there was also a small red spot on his neck.
At that time, Ruan Mohan thought it was hickey marks.
Since Jian Shuo can strike up a conversation with her very casually in the bar, he can also strike up a conversation with others very casually. It is quite normal to have marks left by others on his neck.
At that time, Ruan Mohan seemed to pay too much attention to the hickey, but she didn't continue to think about it.
In other words, she didn't let herself think too much.
But later, no matter when facing Zhong Yunli or Amy, Jian Shuo avoided almost without hesitation whenever there was an opportunity for intimate contact.
why?
If it wasn't a hickey, was it a cat scratch?Mosquito bites?Jian Shuo pinched it herself?
To... attract Ruan Mohan's attention?
"Miss."
Another laughing voice sounded in front of Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan looked into the dark brown eyes in front of him, full of curiosity, prying, desire, and emotion.
meaningless.
Ruan Mohan drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, got up, and left.
******
On Thursday, during a break at work, Ruan Mohan took out his cell phone and found out Bai Jingxian's cell phone number.
After looking at it for a while, I still put the phone away.
Did not dial out.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, she met Bai Jingxian near the meeting room on the top floor.
Bai Jingxian greeted her with a smile: "Director Ruan, long time no see. I'm going to accompany Ah Ming to a foreign business reception tonight."
It sounds like it has something to do with the cooperation between Listening and GS.
Ruan Mohan glanced at her growing belly: "Thank you."
Bai Jingxian: "Ah Shuo... how are you doing recently?"
Ruan Mohan: "You haven't been in touch recently?"
Bai Jingxian smiled helplessly and nodded.
"she……"
She is still the same, it seems difficult for Ruan Mohan to say these words.
Because Ruan Mohan is not sure whether this sentence is true or false.
Finally she spoke to Bai Jingxian: "Ms. Bai, I want to ask you a question."
"Jane Shuo...does she resent intimate contact with other people?"
******
At ten o'clock on Saturday morning, in the single-family villa area in the suburbs.
The doorbell of one of the villas was rang silently.
The carved wooden door was opened, and behind the door was Jiang Kailun's smiling eyes: "Director Ruan, you are really punctual."
Ruan Mohan handed over a kitchen knife: "Excuse me."
Jiang Karen was not surprised, and took it with a smile: "The gift you picked? The Japanese cast iron kitchen knife, very much like your style."
Ruan Mohan: "It's just practical."
Jiang Kailun smiled and took the kitchen knife out of the gift box, held it in his hand, and waved it: "I will use it well."
Ruan Mohan stared at her lightly swinging the kitchen knife.
Elegant, cold, and nothingness, looking in, it is like the air cut by a knife blade, nothing.
Even when Jian Shuo made aggressive moves, he didn't have that kind of innate strangeness or evil spirit.
Ruan Mohan remained silent.
Jiang Karen found her a pair of slippers: "Please come in."
Ruan Mohan was slightly surprised when he entered the house.
She thought that Jiang Karen's home would be similar to hers, with a minimalist style.Unexpectedly, it was bustling and full of flowers.
Chinese-style rattan chairs with carved armrests, French [-]th-century-style teak wood mantelpieces, and Nanyang-style jade mechanical clocks are stacked together in an eclectic manner.
Jiang Karen: "Please sit down."
She pointed to the sofa covered with velvet cushions, and Ruan Mohan sat on it.
So soft.It is almost softer than the goose down bed in Room 1704 of the W Hotel.
Jiang Kailun also sat down, and grabbed a green grape on the coffee table: "Would you like to eat?"
She handed it to Ruan Mohan, and she didn't intend to feed it to Ruan Mohan's mouth.
Ruan Mohan shook his head.
Jiang Kailun smiled, hesitated to speak, and fed the grapes into his mouth.
Ruan Mohan glanced at the coffee table, it was as lively as the furnishings of the house: cigars, sliced ham with cantaloupe, red wine.
The table was full.
Ruan Mohan recalled that Jiang Kailun seemed to be like this, food and wine, all comers.
Even eat lollipops.
Ruan Mohan sat on the sofa and didn't speak, Jiang Kailun sat beside her, grabbing greens one by one.
Until Ruan Mohan finally said: "Boss Jiang."
Jiang Karen: "Well, I will tell you the secret of listening."
Ruan Mohan: "Besides that, I have another question."
"Why on earth are you looking at me?"
Jiang Kailun swallowed a grape that he had chewed between his teeth, his jade-white throat moved slightly, and he let out a "grunt".
Even the swallowing sound was cold and emotionless.
Ruan Mohan sat in a room with a moderate temperature, feeling cold all over his body.
Jiang Kailun smiled: "I want to know why I fell in love with you?"
"Then, go to my bedroom."
******
Two o'clock in the afternoon, W Hotel.
Ruan Mohan took the elevator to the seventeenth floor, and another waiter respectfully waited outside the elevator, handing the room card to Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan approached 1704, swiped his card, and opened the door.
The house was pitch black.
The thick blackout curtains were drawn, and the lights were not turned on, like an ambiguous night.
At this time, Qingming has passed, Grain Rain is approaching, and the last solar term of spring is about to pass, and midsummer is approaching.
Ruan Mohan drove a car outside in the bright light just now.The blazing and bright sunshine formed a strong contrast with the cold and dead air in the room.
It was as if the room was hidden in a fold of time, abandoned by the world.
Ruan Mohan walked in and sat on a corner of the velvet bed.
Soft, but not as soft as Jiang Karen's sofa.
There was a slight sound of breathing coming from the bed, calm and even, without emotion.
The quilt was slightly raised, Ruan Mohan glanced at it, and the person covered in the quilt couldn't even see a single strand of hair.
She asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
No one answered, only slight breathing.
"Since you are asleep." Ruan Mohan stood up, "Then I'm leaving."
A white wrist jumped out from under the quilt and grabbed Ruan Mohan's thigh.
Then sticking out the quilt was a fluffy head.Jian Shuo's thick black hair, because it was just covered in a quilt and rubbed in a mess, looks more and more like a cat that hasn't been brushed.
She was smiling, and through the black narrow skirt and thin stockings, she rubbed against Ruan Mohan's thigh: "I fell asleep and woke up again."
"Woke up by you."
"I thought...you wouldn't come."
At the entrance, Wang Nuo walked in with a bag of vegetables in a daze. Ruan Mohan reminded her: "You forgot to change your shoes."
Wang Nuo came back to his senses: "I'm sorry."
She changed her shoes, walked into the kitchen with vegetables, and Ruan Mohan followed: "Want to help?"
Every time Wang Nuo came to her house to cook, she would ask this question.
Polite and distant.
Wang Nuo smiled: "You don't have to ask me every time, you know I despise your cooking skills, go out."
After Ruan Mohan walked out, Wang Nuo directly closed the kitchen door.
She seemed to lose her strength for a moment, leaning her back against the door, her hand holding the apron hanging down, and the black and white plaid apron hung down to the white floor tiles.
Wang Nuo was stunned for a while, then took a deep breath, raised his hand, put on the apron in his hand, and walked towards the vegetable sink.

"Mo Han, do you consider me a friend?"

Ruan Mohan suddenly grabbed Jian Shuo's hand and poked it in.
Jian Shuo was taken aback for a moment, then Ruan Mo asked in a cold voice: "Look, do I feel anything?"
Jian Shuo's eyes became more ruthless for a moment: "You don't feel it at all, do you?"
Ruan Mo looked at her coldly.
She was well aware that her body was unresponsive.
Jian Shuo's bizarre performance one after another made her feel uneasy, and when she faced Jian Shuo again, her body seemed to be locked.
Roughness, tenderness, all lose their potency, lose their magic.
Jian Shuo squeezed Ruan Mohan's chin: "You don't feel anything about me now, do you?"
"Yes."
Jian Shuo's hand loosened: "Why?"
Ruan Mohan didn't answer, straightened his skirt and walked away.
Jian Shuo followed behind her, and started to chatter like a parrot again: "Why? Why? Why?"
Ruan Mohan turned his head and stared coldly into Jian Shuo's eyes: "Jian Shuo."
Jian Shuo was taken aback.
For the first time, Ruan Mohan called out Jian Shuo's name clearly and clearly.
Jian Shuo let out a "huh".
Ruan Mohan: "You should know that if you fall in love with me, our game will be completely over, right?"
It's been a long time.
Jian Shuo said "hmm" again.
Then she smiled: "Who would like you? A robot, a perverted old woman."
Ruan Mohan: "That's good."
She walked forward with her computer bag and left a sentence: "The cat in the underground parking lot has moved. I haven't heard its voice here for a long time."
"It's gone, don't come again."
******
On Wednesday, the listening team and the GS team had a regular meeting, chaired by Karen Jiang.
After the meeting ended, Ruan Mohan dragged himself to the end as usual.
Ruan Mohan closed the door of the meeting room after the colleagues who had been beaten to death walked out of the meeting room one after another.
She took the initiative to sit down in front of Jiang Kailun, Jiang Kailun was not surprised, and smiled gracefully at her.
"One month later, Mr. Jian's grandma Yang Haining's birthday party." Ruan Mohan asked Jiang Kailun: "I think Mr. Jiang also received the invitation letter, right?"
Jiang Karen nodded with a smile.
Ruan Mohan: "I asked my colleagues. In the past, Grandma Jian's birthday was always a family gathering. She never invited anyone from the company to hold a birthday party together."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Jiang Karen asked with a smile.
Ruan Mohan raised his head and met Jiang Kailun's sable eyes: "You want to tell me the secret about listening, what exactly is it?"
"Already want to know the answer to this question?" Jiang Kailun smiled: "So, Director Ruan has decided when to come to my house?"
******
Ruan Mohan looked at Jiang Kailun quietly.
"Mr. Jiang." Ruan Mohan said, "As for why I went to your house, I think you should already have your own ideas."
Jiang Karen smiled and didn't deny it: "I'm usually too busy at work, how about Saturday?"
Ruan Mohan said calmly, "What time?"
"After lunch...it's two o'clock." Jiang Kailun seemed casual.
Ruan Mohan looked at her quietly.
Jiang Kailun's mink-like eyes couldn't see through at all.With an elegant smile, but exuding a cold light.
In the eyes of any ordinary person, Jiang Kailun would only think that she is an elegant, decent, and intellectual woman.
Even Ruan Mohan couldn't tell whether Jiang Kailun casually mentioned the time at [-] o'clock on Saturday afternoon, or knew something more about her.
Ruan Mohan asked tentatively, "I'm going to send my daughter to class in the afternoon, how about in the morning?"
Jiang Kailun smiled: "What time?"
It seems that the two o'clock in the afternoon just now was really just a casual mention, and there was no intention of forcing Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan: "Ten o'clock."
Jiang Karen: "Okay."
When he came out of the meeting room, Ruan Mohan stared at his fingertips.
Trembling slightly.
******
In the evening, after Ruan Mohan had dinner with Ruan Qingyin, he discussed with her: "Can I send you to Aunt Nuo's place for a night?"
Ruan Qingyin glanced at Ruan Mohan: "I have nothing to say to Aunt Nuo."
Ruan Mohan pursed the corners of his mouth: "Didn't you have nothing to say to anyone?"
Ruan Qingyin: "Why do you want me to go to Aunt Nuo's?"
Ruan Mohan: "She bought a lot of new picture books recently, you will like them."
Ruan Qingyin: "Excuses."
Ruan Mohan said frankly, "That's right, an excuse."
Ruan Qingyin: "So what is it actually for?"
Ruan Mohan thought for a while: "My medical research is not going well."
Ruan Qingyin: "Why is it not going well?"
Ruan Mohan glanced at her, Ruan Qingyin: "I'm already nine years old, and I've watched "Frankenstein" and "Pride and Prejudice"."
Ruan Mohan couldn't help pursing the corners of his lips again: "It's my medical research object, it seems that there has been a mutation."
"Plus recently, it seems that a stronger and better medical research object has emerged."
Ruan Qingyin: "So you want to replace the previous one?"
Ruan Mohan was silent for a moment: "I don't know either."
"I hope that the mutation of the previous research object is only temporary."
******
Wang Nuo was a little surprised that Ruan Mohan suddenly sent Ruan Qingyin to Xiaoyan.
But Ruan Mohan didn't say much, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She really likes children, including unusual children like Ruan Qingyin, even if Ruan Qingyin is not Ruan Mohan's daughter, she also likes them.
Also, she also sincerely respects Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan was grateful in his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Wang Nuo only said, "Be careful."
After Xiaoyan left, Ruan Mohan drove to the Volcano Bar.
That is, the bar where Jian Shuo first met.
Coincidentally, the song of the female singer Ruan Mohan is most familiar with was also heard today:
"Babe who needs sunshine,
my sunflower.
Shining only in the sun,
Good at passion and beauty. (Note 1)"
Ruan Mohan walked in wrapped in a windbreaker.
Asking for a table in the corner and a glass of wine, Ruan Mohan looked towards the stage.
The person who sang there tonight, coincidentally, was also wearing a gorgeous red dress, with thick black hair hanging down like curls of seaweed.
A face that was slightly covered by long hair, with sharp brows and starry eyes, full of drama.
Ruan Mohan looked at the stage quietly, and felt that this girl looked similar to Jian Shuo.
The girl was originally singing while scanning the audience unconsciously.After noticing Ruan Mohan's sizing up, his eyes moved over and froze.
After the song ended, she walked towards Ruan Mohan.
Sitting directly in front of Ruan Mohan: "Sister, are you alone?"
Ruan Mohan glanced at her indifferently.
The thick black eyes are also like ink.But there are many emotions in it: curiosity, prying, anticipation, lust.
Ruan Mohan shook his head lightly, and said directly: "I'm not interested."
The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, don't force it."
She walked away, walked back to the stage, straightened her skirt with her back facing Ruan Mohan, and prepared to go on stage for the next song.
As she flicked her hair, Ruan Mohan glanced at the back of her neck and made a deep hickey.
Ruan Mohan remembered that during the Spring Festival, in the photo sent by Jian Shuo, there was also a small red spot on his neck.
At that time, Ruan Mohan thought it was hickey marks.
Since Jian Shuo can strike up a conversation with her very casually in the bar, he can also strike up a conversation with others very casually. It is quite normal to have marks left by others on his neck.
At that time, Ruan Mohan seemed to pay too much attention to the hickey, but she didn't continue to think about it.
In other words, she didn't let herself think too much.
But later, no matter when facing Zhong Yunli or Amy, Jian Shuo avoided almost without hesitation whenever there was an opportunity for intimate contact.
why?
If it wasn't a hickey, was it a cat scratch?Mosquito bites?Jian Shuo pinched it herself?
To... attract Ruan Mohan's attention?
"Miss."
Another laughing voice sounded in front of Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan looked into the dark brown eyes in front of him, full of curiosity, prying, desire, and emotion.
meaningless.
Ruan Mohan drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, got up, and left.
******
On Thursday, during a break at work, Ruan Mohan took out his cell phone and found out Bai Jingxian's cell phone number.
After looking at it for a while, I still put the phone away.
Did not dial out.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, she met Bai Jingxian near the meeting room on the top floor.
Bai Jingxian greeted her with a smile: "Director Ruan, long time no see. I'm going to accompany Ah Ming to a foreign business reception tonight."
It sounds like it has something to do with the cooperation between Listening and GS.
Ruan Mohan glanced at her growing belly: "Thank you."
Bai Jingxian: "Ah Shuo... how are you doing recently?"
Ruan Mohan: "You haven't been in touch recently?"
Bai Jingxian smiled helplessly and nodded.
"she……"
She is still the same, it seems difficult for Ruan Mohan to say these words.
Because Ruan Mohan is not sure whether this sentence is true or false.
Finally she spoke to Bai Jingxian: "Ms. Bai, I want to ask you a question."
"Jane Shuo...does she resent intimate contact with other people?"
******
At ten o'clock on Saturday morning, in the single-family villa area in the suburbs.
The doorbell of one of the villas was rang silently.
The carved wooden door was opened, and behind the door was Jiang Kailun's smiling eyes: "Director Ruan, you are really punctual."
Ruan Mohan handed over a kitchen knife: "Excuse me."
Jiang Karen was not surprised, and took it with a smile: "The gift you picked? The Japanese cast iron kitchen knife, very much like your style."
Ruan Mohan: "It's just practical."
Jiang Kailun smiled and took the kitchen knife out of the gift box, held it in his hand, and waved it: "I will use it well."
Ruan Mohan stared at her lightly swinging the kitchen knife.
Elegant, cold, and nothingness, looking in, it is like the air cut by a knife blade, nothing.
Even when Jian Shuo made aggressive moves, he didn't have that kind of innate strangeness or evil spirit.
Ruan Mohan remained silent.
Jiang Karen found her a pair of slippers: "Please come in."
Ruan Mohan was slightly surprised when he entered the house.
She thought that Jiang Karen's home would be similar to hers, with a minimalist style.Unexpectedly, it was bustling and full of flowers.
Chinese-style rattan chairs with carved armrests, French [-]th-century-style teak wood mantelpieces, and Nanyang-style jade mechanical clocks are stacked together in an eclectic manner.
Jiang Karen: "Please sit down."
She pointed to the sofa covered with velvet cushions, and Ruan Mohan sat on it.
So soft.It is almost softer than the goose down bed in Room 1704 of the W Hotel.
Jiang Kailun also sat down, and grabbed a green grape on the coffee table: "Would you like to eat?"
She handed it to Ruan Mohan, and she didn't intend to feed it to Ruan Mohan's mouth.
Ruan Mohan shook his head.
Jiang Kailun smiled, hesitated to speak, and fed the grapes into his mouth.
Ruan Mohan glanced at the coffee table, it was as lively as the furnishings of the house: cigars, sliced ham with cantaloupe, red wine.
The table was full.
Ruan Mohan recalled that Jiang Kailun seemed to be like this, food and wine, all comers.
Even eat lollipops.
Ruan Mohan sat on the sofa and didn't speak, Jiang Kailun sat beside her, grabbing greens one by one.
Until Ruan Mohan finally said: "Boss Jiang."
Jiang Karen: "Well, I will tell you the secret of listening."
Ruan Mohan: "Besides that, I have another question."
"Why on earth are you looking at me?"
Jiang Kailun swallowed a grape that he had chewed between his teeth, his jade-white throat moved slightly, and he let out a "grunt".
Even the swallowing sound was cold and emotionless.
Ruan Mohan sat in a room with a moderate temperature, feeling cold all over his body.
Jiang Kailun smiled: "I want to know why I fell in love with you?"
"Then, go to my bedroom."
******
Two o'clock in the afternoon, W Hotel.
Ruan Mohan took the elevator to the seventeenth floor, and another waiter respectfully waited outside the elevator, handing the room card to Ruan Mohan.
Ruan Mohan approached 1704, swiped his card, and opened the door.
The house was pitch black.
The thick blackout curtains were drawn, and the lights were not turned on, like an ambiguous night.
At this time, Qingming has passed, Grain Rain is approaching, and the last solar term of spring is about to pass, and midsummer is approaching.
Ruan Mohan drove a car outside in the bright light just now.The blazing and bright sunshine formed a strong contrast with the cold and dead air in the room.
It was as if the room was hidden in a fold of time, abandoned by the world.
Ruan Mohan walked in and sat on a corner of the velvet bed.
Soft, but not as soft as Jiang Karen's sofa.
There was a slight sound of breathing coming from the bed, calm and even, without emotion.
The quilt was slightly raised, Ruan Mohan glanced at it, and the person covered in the quilt couldn't even see a single strand of hair.
She asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
No one answered, only slight breathing.
"Since you are asleep." Ruan Mohan stood up, "Then I'm leaving."
A white wrist jumped out from under the quilt and grabbed Ruan Mohan's thigh.
Then sticking out the quilt was a fluffy head.Jian Shuo's thick black hair, because it was just covered in a quilt and rubbed in a mess, looks more and more like a cat that hasn't been brushed.
She was smiling, and through the black narrow skirt and thin stockings, she rubbed against Ruan Mohan's thigh: "I fell asleep and woke up again."
"Woke up by you."
"I thought...you wouldn't come."
