Chapter 38
Chapter 37 – Wait A While
In a few days, the National Day holiday is coming.
Li Wanqiu has been very busy these two days, and finally made it through the holidays, so she can finally take a break.
“What are you going to do Ah Qiu on vacation?” Assistant An asked her while fiddling with her phone, her tone lazily and cosily, “It’s a seven-day long vacation, so you have to have fun.”
“I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Li Wanqiu thought for a while, “Maybe I’ll take a walk around.”
“Very good, very good.” Assistant An nodded and said, “I think so too.”
“But I guess I’m going to see people everywhere, it’s very crowded…” She couldn’t help laughing while talking, when the phone rang by chance.
“The marketing department has been looking for me every day lately.” Assistant An glanced at the phone, sighed unconsciously, got up and gestured to Li Wanqiu with his eyes, and quickly raised his hand to pick up the phone, “Hello?”
While chatting, they gradually walked away in the field of vision.
Li Wanqiu stared at her back and smiled, turned around to deal with the documents, and then finished the work at hand, Ji Jinyan just came back.
“President Ji.” Li Wanqiu quickly stood up and took the printed document to the office, “Look at this.”
“Okay.” Ji Jinyan nodded, looking down at the documents in his hand, “No problem.”
“Then I’ll tidy it up and send it out.” Li Wanqiu responded, raised his hand to take the stack of documents, remembered the previous interview, and chatted with Ji Jinyan a few more words, “Yan Shan sent me a message this morning, Said the samples would come out in the afternoon.”
“I’ve also verified the problems that occurred in the sales department two days ago…” she said, explaining the work to Ji Jinyan little by little, and Ji Jinyan listened carefully the whole time without interrupting.
It wasn’t until she said all the things that she finally spoke again.
“Thank you,” she said.
I didn’t expect her first sentence to be this.
Li Wanqiu paused for a while before whispering, “It’s all right.”
“It’s almost the holiday.” Then she said, remembering the content of the chat with Assistant An just now, subconsciously opened her lips and asked, “Do you have any arrangements?”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan met her gaze sideways, with a smile flowing in his eyes: “Why, do you want to invite me to dinner?”
Li Wanqiu: “…”
“It’s not impossible.” A few seconds later, Li Wanqiu nodded slowly, without refusing, “I…”
“Just kidding.” Before he could finish speaking, Ji Jinyan interrupted.
“I might have to go home.” She then said, her voice was very soft, “to deal with some things.”
Li Wanqiu quickly realized that the home in her words should refer to the Ji family’s old house.
In the past, Li Wanqiu heard from Assistant An that the Ji family has a great business and a prosperous population. Apart from Ji Jinyan’s grandfather, there are many other branches. They came to live in this city one after another more than ten years ago. Some changes, and all moved back.
After Ji Jinyan officially took over the winery, she was the only one left here.
Li Wanqiu didn’t know what was going on, but every time she thought about it, she felt that Ji Jinyan was really lonely. It’s good that she can put down her work and go home to have a look during the holidays.
I just don’t know when she will come back from this trip.
“That’s it.” Li Wanqiu nodded, thinking that Ji Jinyan might not be seen for the entire holiday, she felt a little awkward in her heart, but she didn’t say anything, just said, “Be careful on the road.”
After finishing speaking, I still worriedly added: “If you need anything, you can call me.”
“You can also call Assistant An.” She said, as if realizing that her words were wrong, she quickly added, “Or anyone…”
“Understood.” Before she could finish speaking, Ji Jinyan interrupted her with a smile, “Yes.”
“…Mm.” Li Wanqiu gave up adding, nodded and answered her softly.
“Then I’ll go first.” After that, she got up, picked up the documents on the table and was about to leave, but when she reached the door, Ji Jinyan suddenly stopped her: “Li Wanqiu.”
“Is there anything else?” Li Wanqiu turned around in response, and asked softly with her lips parted.
Ji Jinyan said slowly, “I’ll be back soon.”
“Take me to dinner then.” She said, her voice was very soft, and the smile on her lips was obvious, “Didn’t you just promise?”
“…”
Before the start of the holiday, Li Wanqiu made a lot of plans for herself.
But until I really had a free time and felt the beauty of salted fish, those plans had been left behind.
However, she will still deliberately spare a lot of time to prepare the paintings for the competition, check the information and read the books Ji Jinyan gave her. Generally speaking, every day is very fulfilling.
Time flies, and before you know it, the holidays are coming to an end.
Li Wanqiu’s painting was almost finished, and he asked Yan Weiwei, Song Yu and others for their opinions on the painting, and all of them got very good comments.
But Li Wanqiu herself was still dissatisfied, and always felt that something was wrong.
Just as she was thinking, the phone rang suddenly, Li Wanqiu picked up her phone to check, it was Ji Jinyan’s call.
It should be back.
For some reason, Li Wanqiu was inexplicably happy, quickly pressed the answer button, and said softly, “Hello?”
“It’s me.” Ji Jinyan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, as usual, sweet, “Are you busy?”
“It’s okay.” Li Wanqiu said, “You’re back?”
“Well, I just came back.” Ji Jinyan said, and then asked again, “Have you eaten yet?”
Li Wanqiu said truthfully: “Not yet.”
Ji Jinyan smiled: “Then go downstairs, I’m already downstairs at your house.”
Li Wanqiu was startled: “Why do you…”
“Wait for me for a while.” She said, quickly put down the paintbrush and got up, quickly went to the bedroom to change clothes and put on makeup before going downstairs, and sure enough, she saw Ji Jinyan at a glance.
It’s a little colder tonight.
Ji Jinyan was wearing a coffee-colored overcoat with a black lady’s shirt underneath. His hair was not tied up, but was casually draped over his shoulders. He stood in the light from the street lamps, and a few strands of hair fluttered with the breeze. fluttering gently.
It makes people feel good-looking and comfortable.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?” Li Wanqiu asked, with a little embarrassment in her tone, “It’s so cold outside, why didn’t you go to the car.”
“It’s okay.” Ji Jinyan smiled, and handed her a cup of milk tea, “I bought it for you.”
Li Wanqiu lowered her eyes and saw that it was still her favorite strawberry flavor. The sweet aroma permeated with the movement of her handing it over, and it smelled very good.
But at the same time, there seems to be a faint smell of smoke mixed in it.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback subconsciously: “Are you smoking again?”
Ji Jinyan was also taken aback, and after a moment’s pause, a smile could not help but appear on the corners of his lips, and he said calmly, “I was discovered by you.”
“Obviously I changed into a new dress before I came here.” She said, raising her hand to stroke Li Wanqiu’s head, “Our kid Ah Qiu has such a good nose.”
The tone sounded the same as usual, but it was very different. Li Wanqiu looked up at her, always feeling that something was wrong with her today.
“Let’s go.” Before he could ask again, Ji Jinyan had already opened the co-pilot’s door for her.
The weather has been getting colder recently, and steaming hot pot is the best choice. Ji Jinyan took Li Wanqiu to a hot pot restaurant and sat down. After ordering, he poured her a cup of hot tea.
“What have you been up to for the past two days?” Then she chatted with the person in front of her.
“Nothing.” Li Wanqiu shook her head and said, “I spend most of my time drawing except for eating and sleeping.”
“How is the painting?” Ji Jinyan asked again.
“It’s almost there.” Li Wanqiu said, “I finally chose the theme of Maple Leaf, and I also checked a lot of information and browsed a lot of books.”
“But… I just always feel that there is something that I am not satisfied with.”
“That’s it.” As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan nodded and paused for a while, as if thinking for a moment, and then opened his mouth again, “Is there any other arrangement for a while?”
Li Wanqiu looked up at her, somewhat puzzled: “No, what’s wrong?”
“Then I’ll take you to the mountains to see the maple leaves.” After finishing speaking, Ji Jinyan smiled slowly.
Li Wanqiu blinked: “Now?”
“Yeah.” Ji Jinyan said, pushing the dessert brought by the waiter in front of her, “Now.”
There is a cable car at the foot of the mountain, so vigorous exercise is not suitable for eating enough, so Ji Jinyan and Li Wanqiu finally chose to take the cable car to the top of the mountain together.
It was getting late now, and the lights were lit up everywhere. Because of the weather, there were not many people on the top of the mountain at the moment, and the whole place was quite quiet, only the maple leaves rustled with the breeze.
“Come here.” Ji Jinyan found a place with a good view, and beckoned Li Wanqiu to come over.
“Yeah.” Li Wanqiu nodded, and quickly came to stand beside her, and looked up together with her.
Ji Jinyan smiled, the corners of his lips raised: “How beautiful.”
“That’s right.” Li Wanqiu responded with her lips. In the past, she had only visited this mountain during the daytime, never at night. It was only today that she finally realized that the mountaintops during the day and at night are both beautiful, and each has its own beauty. vary.
Li Wanqiu subconsciously took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the maple forest around her, the stars in the sky, the lights around, and the mysterious night scene.
While filming, he took a glance and suddenly found that Ji Jinyan beside him was very quiet at the moment.
She must be in a bad mood.
Li Wanqiu paused, and soon a thought floated up in his heart. After a long silence, he finally raised his foot and came to sit beside her: “What’s wrong with you today, did something unhappy happen?”
She seemed unusually sharp tonight.
Ji Jinyan smiled in response, and spoke softly after a few seconds: “That’s right.”
Li Wanqiu was a little worried: “Is it serious?”
“It’s okay.” Ji Jinyan said, “It’s been resolved.”
“That’s good.” Li Wanqiu nodded. For some reason, seeing Ji Jinyan like this felt inexplicably uncomfortable, “Why didn’t you call us?”
She sighed, feeling really embarrassed to say something, but she really wanted to tell her in person: “Except for the relationship between superiors and subordinates, we are…should be considered friends.”
She said, her voice trailing off, her ears flushed: “If there is really something difficult to solve, if there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.”
This is really touching.
After finishing speaking, Ji Jinyan looked sideways at her, was silent for a moment, and the smile in his eyes gradually melted away.
“Is it cold?” After that, she opened her lips, and instead of answering Li Wanqiu’s question in a hurry, she asked another question.
“It’s okay.” Li Wanqiu said.
“That’s it.” Ji Jinyan nodded slightly, and gradually approached her after a while, then leaned his head lightly on Li Wanqiu’s shoulder, and after doing this, he opened his mouth again slowly, “I seem to be a little cold. “
She laughed, and her voice echoed with the rustling around her, soft and quiet.
“Let me lean on for a while.”
