Chapter 9 Maybe It's Loneliness

"You can wear this suit when you meet a client the day after tomorrow." Ruan Menglu approached Sikong Yuru and said.

As soon as Ruan Menglu finished speaking, Sikong Yuru immediately showed a surprised expression, and then said in a somewhat troubled tone: "This..., I can't accept it, or I'll buy it from you."

"Do you think I can't afford to give you a suit?" Ruan Menglu said with a sullen face, as unhappy as she could be heard in that tone.

"I definitely don't mean that, I..." Sikong Yuru felt anxious, and her mind seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while.

"I asked you to accompany me on a business trip temporarily, and asked you to work overtime. I thought I was wrong. In fact, I am not as unreasonable as others say. I want to say that this outfit looks very good on you, so I will give it to you as an apology." Well, the reward is fine, just accept it." Ruan Menglu said in an apologetic tone.

"Dong Ruan, don't say that. As a member of the company, I should obey all these things. You don't need to spend extra money to give me things." Sikong Yuru was not hard-hearted either. , I was somewhat touched in my heart, all the previous anxiety was swept away, and she began to slowly let go of her defenses.

"Talking to me, I hope you don't use "you" to call me anymore. This name makes me feel very old." Usually other staff members may call her this way, but when this word is spoken from Sikong Yuru in the air, it makes her feel very old. Feel harsh.

"Yes..." Sikong Yuru could only respond in this way. In fact, she was not used to being treated well by others, and Ruan Menglu's generous treatment made her feel a little at a loss.

"I rarely hit it off with one person. Although you are an employee of the company and I am the chairman, I hope we can be more like friends when we are outside." Ruan Menglu saw Sikong Yuru's restrained expression, so she naturally understood her Thoughts, but she can't explain her behavior, she can only say that the woman in front of her makes her feel very kind, and she is willing to treat her as a friend and as a subordinate.

Sikong Yuru did not immediately respond to Ruan Menglu's words, but she felt a sense of sympathy in her heart. She thought she could understand Ruan Menglu's feelings. A bosom friend, a person silently endures great pain, and life is full of loneliness and loneliness, so she regards the female subordinate who is closest to her as a friend.

"Although I'm still not used to it, I am willing to be your friend." Sikong Yuru thought for a while, and finally responded with a faint smile.

Looking at the smiling face in front of her, Ruan Menglu felt that the smile was like a blooming flower, with a bit of tenderness, but also a bit of youthfulness.

"Dong Ruan, you've bought everything. Should we leave?" Sikong Yuru blushed unconsciously when Ruan Menglu stared at him like this, and pretended to remind the other party to go back in order to prevent the other party from finding out how shy she was. time.

"There is still some time before dinner, why don't I take you home to pack your luggage, and after dinner you come to my house to stay overnight, and we can start directly from home tomorrow, which can save the driver the journey and time."

After Ruan Menglu finished speaking, she was surprised by her speech again. The friendship between the two of them seemed to have not reached that stage. Even friends seemed to be progressing too fast, but they couldn't take back what they said. Looking at Sikong Yuru with a dazed face, Ruan Menglu felt indescribably embarrassed.

"Okay... okay." Although Sikong Yuru was surprised at first, she accepted Ruan Menglu's proposal as Ruan Menglu's intention for everyone's convenience.

Sikong Yuru's straightforwardness made Ruan Menglu feel a little less embarrassed, so she didn't intend to explain any more. Sometimes talking too much made people feel like she was deliberately covering up something.

Sikong Yuru didn't dare to keep Ruan Menglu waiting too long, so she packed her luggage in a hurry, and after making sure that the windows and doors inside and outside were locked, she hurriedly took the elevator downstairs.

Ruan Menglu didn't wait in the car. After Sikong Yuru got off the car, she pulled the car aside and parked it. Then she went to sit in a gazebo in the garden. When she saw Sikong Yuru stepping out of the elevator, she got up and greeted her. And stretched out her hand to help carry the luggage, Sikong Yuru nervously pulled the luggage behind her, and said in a flattered tone: "I can do it myself."

Ruan Menglu withdrew her hands helplessly, looking a bit disappointed, Sikong Yuru saw all these expressions in her eyes, and she felt a little sorry, after thinking about it, she handed the backpack containing the laptop to Ruan Menglu and said : "Why don't you help me mention this."

Ruan Menglu immediately took the backpack over, and the two walked side by side to the car. After they got in the car, they didn't talk any more. The two, who had their own concerns, seemed to have a tacit understanding and kept silent.

About 10 minutes by car, the car drove into a high-end residential area. Speaking of which, the distance between their homes is not too far, but the level of residents can be said to be very different. The place where Sikong Yuru lives is very large. Some of them are middle-class people. In the area where Ruan Menglu lives, it can be said that every household is either a celebrity or a rich man.

Ruan Menglu's house is not as luxurious as Sikong Yuru imagined. The house only has two floors. Standing in the porch and looking around, the first thing that catches the eye is the spacious living room, behind the partition wall is the kitchen, and there is a toilet at the end of the house and a storage room.

There are only two bedrooms upstairs. Ruan Menglu said that this is not the original design of the house. In order to make the house have a more spacious visual space, she combined the bedrooms on the second floor into two, and the original small room downstairs was demolished. Then extend the kitchen to the side of the storage room. For single or two people, this house is definitely more than enough.

The main colors of the house are two paint colors, gray and white, and some of the walls are pasted with elegant blue-gray patterned wallpapers. The colors of the closets or furniture are all light, so that everyone in the house has a kind of light and comfortable feeling.

The decoration and furnishings in the house tend to be more fashionable, but it is not the kind of design that blindly pursues trends. It is a very personal feeling. The bright layer contains an elegant temperament and unyielding arrogance. You can feel that the designer is trying to Integrate the characteristics of the owner into the house.

Sikong Yuru deduced that this outstanding designer must have a deep friendship with Ruan Menglu, so he was able to combine feelings and inspirations to create a unique style of conception. In addition to having a deep understanding of Ruan Menglu, this person , There should also be a love in my heart.

Sikong Yuru's intuition told her that the person who made this design was not Ruan Menglu's husband. It's hard to imagine that such a delicate and meticulous design was the work of a man. The man she met that day looked like Careless and careless, and she doesn't have the air of an artist, is it true that Ruan Menglu secretly hides her pretty face outside, as the rumors say?

"This room was designed for me by a good friend. He is the only person in the world who understands me best. Unfortunately, we can only be good friends for a lifetime." Ruan Menglu couldn't hide her eyes when she said this God hurt.

There is a story behind everyone's growth. Sikong Yuru dare not gossip about other people's private affairs, so she can only listen quietly without making any response or asking questions.

"It's almost time. After taking a shower, we can go out for dinner." It seemed that Ruan Menglu didn't intend to let this topic continue. Intuitively, she didn't really want to touch this memory again.

Sikong Yuru slowly raised her head and glanced at Ruan Menglu, who passed by her and walked straight to the stairs. Suddenly, a complex emotion melted in her heart. what smell.

Ruan Menglu's mystery caused many doubts in Sikong Yuru's heart. Normally, she would not be interested in knowing about other people's affairs, but she obviously cared about Ruan Menglu's past, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. It was as if something was stuck in her chest, which made her feel unspeakably depressed.

Ruan Menglu drove Sikong Yuru to a high mountain. This is an open-air restaurant with a beautiful environment and a quiet atmosphere. It stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. Sikong Yuru noticed that Ruan Menglu's name was on the table reservation list. After the waiter confirmed her identity He led them to their seats.

Their seats were arranged at the corner of the restaurant. This angle is just right for viewing the night scenery of the whole city. As soon as they sat down, they could feel the cool breeze blowing towards their faces. Tonight, Sikong Yuru wore a sleeveless knee-length lace white dress. The simple dress showed her slender figure.

The refreshing wind lifts up Sikong Yuru's thin long hair, and the dim light makes her skin look fairer, her body seems to be covered with a layer of faint white light, under the deep eyes is a straight nose, what? It looks like a beautiful angel sitting opposite.

"This place is really nice." From the expression on Sikong Yuru's words, it can be seen that she really likes this place.

"I guess you will like it." Ruan Menglu said proudly.

As soon as Sikong Yuru stepped into this restaurant, she felt that the service here should be considerate and thoughtful, but she had been sitting on the seat for 5 minutes, but she didn't see the waiter handing over the menu. A waiter walked towards their seats holding a bottle of red wine.

The waiter showed the wine in front of Ruan Menglu, and whispered a few words to her. After seeing Ruan Menglu nodded, he opened the wine on the spot, and then poured the wine into the empty glasses in front of them, which were about [-]% full. After making a "please" gesture, he walked away.

"This is red wine produced in Australia. This wine has a very mellow taste and a multi-layered taste. It is slightly sweeter than ordinary red wine. This wine is very suitable for ladies who drink lightly." Ruan Menglu lifted the glass after finishing speaking After taking a sip of the red wine, seeing Sikong Yuru also raised the wine glass, Ruan Menglu immediately said, "It's actually not advisable to drink on an empty stomach, just take a sip."

Sikong Yuru knows this. She has tasted sweet red wine several times. For someone who really knows how to taste wine, this kind of wine is like a child drinking fruit juice. The only thing that puzzles her Yes, she didn't have much contact with Ruan Menglu, and she rarely ate or drank at the same table, but the other party knew that she didn't drink much.

Sikong Yuru took a sip of the red wine like a dragonfly on water, and as soon as she put down the glass, she saw the same waiter coming forward and placed two delicate long plates in front of them.

"The chef of this restaurant is always pursuing a higher level of food, and in order to preserve the freshness of the ingredients, each menu is provided in limited quantities, so it is rare to have the opportunity to come here to dine, reserve a seat or menu They had to be contacted a week ago, so I didn't have time to ask your opinion and decided on the menu without authorization, I hope you will like the dishes I ordered." Ruan Menglu had already seen through the doubts in Sikong Yuru's heart, she knew that the other party would not take the initiative to ask questions , So he frankly said everything he had arranged.

For Ruan Menglu's intentions, Sikong Yuru felt a little unaccustomed to all of Ruan Menglu's intentions. Although it is a happy thing to be valued and favored by her boss, it also makes people feel uneasy. , after all, this favor seems a bit extraordinary.
