He didn't know what had happened, but this girl, who always had a resolute look in her eyes, was crying.
He walked forward and gently pushed open the door to the balcony. Leaning against the door, he silently accompanied her.
After half an hour, she raised her head and looked again at the night sky.
She took off her headphones and stood up. When she turned around, she was so frightened by the figure behind her that she staggered back a step.
She looked at Luo Hanshang in surprise: "You ..." When did you come back? "
He thought for a moment."When you were crying here, it had been a while."
Hearing the word cry, she quickly turned her head, wiped the tears from her eyes, gave him a look, and walked past him into the room.
As he passed her, he took hold of her wrist.
"What happened?"
She calmly replied, "No."
"Then what are you crying for?"
She pursed her lips."It's impolite to eavesdrop on someone crying."
"If I interrupt your crying, then you'll feel wronged in your heart. Sometimes, people need to vent their emotions. So, what are you crying for?"
She lowered her voice and looked at him. After a moment, she shook her head."Nothing."
Instead of letting go of her wrist, he pulled her into his arms.
"A woman who lies is irritating, you know?"
She looked up at him."Your former fiancée found fault with me, okay?"
She slipped out of his arms and into the living room.
Luo Hanshang followed in and said, "Mo Lan alone can make you cry, do you think I will believe that?"
"Mo Lan can't, but my mother can, " she sighed, sitting down on the sofa."Mo Lan said that if I insist on marrying you, she won't let my mother have a good life."
"So, what are you going to do? Not getting married? "
She slanted at him."You probably wish I wouldn't marry you."
"Was my performance that obvious?" He actually smiled in a rare way and sat down at the side.
She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows proudly."I'm telling you, you better stop dreaming."
He shook his head and smiled. It was still very easy and cozy to be with her.
He just didn't know why, but he had the nagging feeling that she was crying so miserably just now, not for such a simple reason.
"Aren't you afraid that your mother will be hurt if you marry me?"
"Mo Lanruo is only scaring my mother, then I won't do anything. My mother has already lived in the Mo Family for six years, but she still hasn't seen the true face of the person from there. It doesn't matter if she sees the truth for herself or not, I will still become her last resort.
"But if Mo Lan really dares to take any actions, then I will also expose the relationship between her and my ex-boyfriend. When the time comes, she will be the one who will be in trouble. She doesn't have the guts to do so."
After she finished speaking, both of them suddenly fell silent.
Not long later, Ning Jiang seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Why are you back?"
"Eat." He only said two words.
She frowned."Why did you come back?"
He glanced sideways at her. This woman, he had specially come back to accompany her for di er, yet she still dared to pick on him.
Ning Jiang saw his gaze and pouted, "Then what do you want to eat? I'll book it."
"You made a good dumpling last night."
Ning Jiang was speechless. It was already noon, yet he wanted her to make dumplings at this time?
"Have some noodles, dumplings are too slow."
He crossed his legs and said, "I'm not in a hurry."
She was speechless. What a stubborn man.
She called the restaurant, and shortly after, the restaurant manager brought the ingredients.
After 40 minutes, the dumplings were served.
The two of them sat at the dining table. Luo Hanshang said, "This morning, I met your stepfather."
"Because Mo Lan called me, so I probably guessed." She took a bite of dumpling and asked, "When you said you wanted to marry me, didn't he object?"
"What right does he have to object?"
She looked away and shook her head."I thought he'd say something about my mom disagreeing."
He curled his lips, "You actually know him quite well, but in the end, he still used you to exchange for the interests of the Mo's Group."
The two of them looked at each other for a moment before she lowered her head and continued to eat.
He then said: "Ning Jiang, why must you have Mo's participating in this project? Didn't you dislike Mo Family? Why did you help them? "
Ning Jiang looked at him, "In order to successfully marry you and satisfy your grandfather's demands, didn't you praise me for being smart? I want to take care of my Mo Family, and I have plenty of chances."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Look, I suddenly thought of an excellent opportunity."
He looked at her without speaking.
Ning Jiang's crafty eyes lit up, "Zhuo Yijun, I have already submitted my resignation report from the company, and am about to become a jobless person. Why don't you take me in for a period of time and let me join your company to work on the Panlong River Bridge? If I follow Datian Group and mix, wouldn't I be one level higher than Mo's Group? Then I can command them. How nice."
Hearing her words, he sized her up, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes."Are you sure this is a good opportunity that you've suddenly thought of?"
Ning Jiang instantly felt guilty. Could it be that she had seen through something?
