When the car started, Ruan Shishi sat there stiffly, with only one third of the rear seat occupied, leaning to the side as far as possible.
The atmosphere in the carriage was somehow embarrassed. Du Yue glanced up at them and unconsciously relaxed his breath and focused on driving.
The car passed a traffic light. Suddenly, Ruan Shishi heard Yu Yimo's low voice, "are you working overtime recently?"
Ruan Shishi was slightly stunned. He was sure that he was speaking to himself, and then he simply replied, "well."
The car calmed down again. It was too quiet for people to adapt.
A few seconds later, the man's voice sounded again, "are you short of money?"
Ruan Shishi, hearing the speech, unconsciously clenched his hand and became nervous.
How did he know she was short of money?
After a moment's silence, Ruan Shishi calmed down a little, but asked, "why do you ask like this?"
Yu Yimo closed the paper on his knee and said in a light tone, "why do you have to work so late for lack of money?"
Yu's group is a company that pays great attention to humanistic care. It never encourages employees to work overtime. Unless there is an emergency project, generally no employees choose to work overtime for a long time. However, Ruan Shishi applied for 15 days as soon as she applied, which is really suspicious.
Moreover, with his understanding of her, she is not the kind of workaholic who is keen on work, so after several deliberation, there is only one possibility left, that is, she is short of money.
Although Ruan Shishi is not quite sure that she has been understood by Yu Yimo, she can't help feeling guilty when he says so. She slightly tightens her hand on her side, inhales deeply, and denies, "no, I just want to work hard and concentrate on my career."
She said, involuntarily stretched out her hand to put the broken hair on her cheek behind her ears. 𝒇𝔯𝗲𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝚗o𝚟𝗲𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
Yu Yimo raised her eyes and happened to see her subconscious little action through the perspective mirror in front of her. Her eyebrows were slightly picked.
I'm afraid Ruan Shishi didn't even know that she had such subconscious little movements when she lied, such as stroking her hair and touching her nose, and he couldn't be more clear about these movements.
After a few seconds of silence, Yu Yimo said faintly, "if you need help, you can come to me."
Although his words didn't explain it, they gave a hint that if Ruan Shishi was really short of money, he would help her just because of her old love.
But the same words fell in Ruan's ears, but they had a different meaning.
She frowned and turned to look at the man beside her. His face looked as usual. The sentence just now was as plain as asking about the weather. Suddenly, an indescribable anger appeared in her heart, and her cheeks were slightly hot.
This sentence, together with his question just now, made her feel ashamed, as if there was some improper relationship between them. As long as she opened her mouth, he would give her a lot of money without saying a word.
Ruan Shishi bit his lip and felt a sense of shame.
She did not open her eyes, looked out of the window, watching the rain hit the car window, slowly sliding, blurred the outside world, she clenched her fist slightly, silent, no longer say a word.
The next journey, the atmosphere was so cold that Du Yue drove the car. He did not dare to do any of the extra actions, and drove the car to the apartment downstairs with breath holding.
As soon as the car stopped, Ruan Shishi leaned slightly and said in a soft voice, "thank you for sending me back."
