"It's only been two short days... Intellectually, I should be angry or in disbelief, but I just feel tired in my heart and brain..."
Ruan Youning sniffed gently, her tone full of confusion.
The leak of the manuscript has not yet been found out, and a new painter has not yet had time to find it. She does not dare to have even a trace of unnecessary emotion now.
The family, which had been sheltered from the wind for twenty-four years, suddenly learned that it did not belong to them.
My career, which had just started to improve, suddenly fell into an inexplicable dilemma.
Now she really didn't dare to cry even if she wanted to, and she didn't even dare to have any extra emotion.
Song Shijing could see her pressure and confusion.
He couldn't interfere in the Ruan family's family affairs, and he had no position to say anything. Even though he and Ruan Youning are about to get married, these are still matters of the Ruan family.
Song Shijing sighed inwardly, fortunately, he could help with work.
After yesterday's non-stop search and screening, only five people stood out. He quickly drafted the contract and was waiting to bring them to Ruan Youning for review. Unexpectedly, something like this happened again yesterday. This delay , that’s it today.
How could I know that I missed it by mistake again this morning.
Sometimes the more anxious you are about something, the easier it is to get into trouble.
The breakfast in front of her was still delicious, but Ruan Youning had no intention of eating it. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Ajing, I don't want to eat it. I have to hurry up and work."
When she was worried, she was actually very happy to have Song Shijing by her side. But it’s really not suitable to talk about love right now.
The most important thing for her right now is to hand in the new drawings as promised and minimize losses.
But Song Shijing took out his cell phone, swiped a few times quickly, and handed it to her: "Don't worry, Ning Ning, look at these."
Ruan Youning didn't know why, but he still answered the phone and scanned it roughly, and his depressed spirit was instantly shaken.
This, this is actually a well-known painter on the Internet.
She hurriedly slid down. The further she looked down, the more shocked she became.
There were five full pages, all of which were painted by artists she had not had time to find, and three of them were relatively well-known. They usually commissioned thousands of paintings.
Although the other two are newcomers, their resumes are very good, and the attached drawings are very consistent with her style requirements.
At this time, these five painters arrived just in time. They could only express themselves by providing help in times of need, and all kinds of words were not enough.
"Ajing, they..."
Ruan Youning looked at the man in front of her unblinkingly, not knowing how to express herself.
Song Shijing was always like this. When she was just taking one step at a time, he had already paved the way for her.
Not a notification, not a decision, but showing her the directions one by one, completely respecting her choice.
The man in front of her had a gentle smile on his face and raised his hand to rub her head.
His palms were as warm and strong as ever.
Then he clicked on the folder on his phone and handed it to her, "Ning Ning, take a look at the contract signed with them to see if there is anything you want to add. Once you sign the contract, you should be able to come this afternoon."
Ruan Youning nodded vigorously.
The contract drawn up by Song Shijing was very professional and could be signed directly without any additional explanation from her.
Ruan Youning took a brief look at it and quickly made an appointment with the painter.
Although the matter was settled, Song Shijing did not leave. He helped Ruan Youning do whatever he could in the studio.
Until one o'clock in the afternoon, five painters arrived one after another.
In the reception room, Ruan Youning discussed the details of the work with the painters again, and only signed the paper contract after ensuring that they fully understood the content of the work.
She only planned to hand over the core drawings to a few people, so she opened two separate offices for them.
Xiaolin is quite discerning and quickly placed a complete set of work supplies on the workstations in the two offices.
Although there was a very unpleasant episode in the morning, things are going smoothly now, and everything is proceeding according to Ruan Youning's new plan.
Seeing that things were getting better, Ruan Youning's sense of urgency finally relaxed.
She held back her excitement and closed the office door.
Song Shijing was sitting on the sofa. As soon as he raised his head after hearing the sound, Ruan Youning rushed over.
She put her hands around his waist and rubbed her little face against his chest, "Ajing, thank you very much. You really helped me a lot."
Her black hair was very soft. No matter how many times Song Shijing touched it, he still had no resistance and could not help but touch it.
And he did.
"Idiot Ning Ning, as long as I can help you."
Feeling his movement, Ruan Youning suddenly raised her head, and she saw herself in Song Shijing's pupils at a glance.
His pupils seemed to have always been that he could only pretend to be her, he could only let her go.
A bold idea came to Ruan Youning's mind, and she blurted out: "Ajing, let's go get the certificate on your birthday!"
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them were slightly stunned.
In fact, the time to receive the certificate was set to be after the wedding, on Valentine's Day, February 14th, and Song Shijing's birthday was November 22nd.
Is this considered her proposal in disguise...
Ruan Youning blushed immediately, and she turned her gaze slightly to avoid looking at the smile in Song Shijing's eyes.
But Song Shijing chuckled, suddenly picked her up and placed her gently on the sofa.
Ruan Youning's heartbeat was almost beating loudly. Before she could say anything, Song Shijing's warm palm forcefully grabbed the back of her head.
In an instant, shallow breaths rushed into her nasal cavity.
What followed was his kiss.
His warm lips found hers accurately, going deep, sucking, rolling, gentle and restrained, affectionate and lingering, over and over again.
Ruan Youning's heart almost exploded.
She couldn't help but close her eyes, her hands unconsciously wrapped around Song Shijing's waist, and her thoughts were completely occupied by him.
The kiss was long and lingering. Ruan Youning's brain was so dizzy that he even forgot to breathe.
After a while, she felt a little out of breath. She couldn't help pushing the man on her body and shouted vaguely: "Um... A Jing..."
The man on her body obediently let go of her lips, but he still couldn't help but rub her lips gently.
Ruan Youning opened his eyes slightly, and an indescribable feeling of loss slowly emerged.
And the next second, her face was held up.
Song Shijing held her face with great care and kissed her softly.
Forehead, eyes, nose, lips, one after another, delicate and tender.
"Ning Ning."
Song Shijing's kiss paused for a moment, then he called out "Ning Ning" softly.
He didn't have any extra words, he just called her by her nickname.
The low voice, somewhat hoarse, fell into Ruan Youning's ears, with an indescribable sultry tone.
Ruan Youning's violent heartbeat never stopped. How could she have imagined that this kiss would come so unexpectedly.
But everything seems to be reasonable, yet unexpected.
Ruan Youning thought a little slowly. She couldn't help but lick her lips, wanting to say something.
"Ding--"
Suddenly, the mobile phone rang at an inappropriate time, breaking the scene that was about to get out of control, but Song Shijing just stared at her lips, his eyes deep and unable to tell any emotion.
"Telephone……"
Ruan Youning gently pushed the man on her body and motioned for him to answer the phone quickly.
Song Shijing reluctantly rubbed the tip of her nose before getting up to answer the phone.
Not sure what was said on the phone, Song Shijing apologized after hanging up the phone: "Ning Ning, I have something to deal with..."
"Um……"
Although he was a little reluctant to give up, Ruan Youning still understood it very well.
When Song Shijing was there, he didn't feel anything. As soon as he left, an indescribable feeling suddenly came to his heart.
Thinking back on the kiss just now, Ruan Youning felt empty in her heart.
-
Song Shijing walked out of the office building and drove towards his company.
The call just now was from Song Wencheng. He didn't say much, he just asked him to pay more attention to the company.
Song Shijing could understand what his father meant.
He frowned unconsciously. He was going to help Ruan Youning handle the matter. His father knew...
But the cryptic nature of what he said just now made it seem as if he had done something wrong.
Song Shijing couldn't help but sigh. There was no way the person asking him to focus on the company was his mother.
Song Shijing didn't know that he was wrong, but he was right.
He didn't know that the quarrel between the Ruan family this morning was actually an accident, and his mother had a glimpse of it.
Song Shijing went out early and came back late these two days, and his parents noticed it. He is busy, but he is not busy in his own company.
Just thinking about it for a moment, I knew what he was going to do.
Song Shijing knew that he had indeed not gone to the company in the past two days, and he was somewhat in the wrong, so he didn't say much after answering the phone and just rushed to his company.
Instinctively, he didn't want his parents to misunderstand Ruan Youning, and he didn't want his parents to think that it was Ruan Youning who delayed his work and distracted his energy.
He...is willing.
Song Shijing was very fast and reached the downstairs of his company in just half an hour.
Among all the high-rise buildings, this five-story office building looks simple and low-key. Even the company sign "Si Boon Construction Co., Ltd." at the entrance is too simple.
But Song Shijing knew that this was his own building and there was no need for all the bells and whistles.
When it comes to the Song family's business, it is completely accumulated over generations.
In the 1980s, the elders of the Song family were just ordinary people in Yancheng, barely making ends meet.
The elders of the Song family thought about it and felt that this was not an option, but the opportunity soon came.
Relying on the timeliness and precise vision, the Song family was able to get rid of poverty almost completely in just one generation.
By Song Shijing's generation, the Song family's property was not only in Yancheng, but almost all over the country.
The elders of the Song family knew that they were at the forefront of the times and that their success could not be replicated. When they were about to pass away, they only left behind a small and medium-sized construction company.
Although the Song family's property was enough for generations to squander, Song Wencheng still took it very seriously after taking over the company.
By the time of Song Shijing's generation, the Song family's company had also grown in size. Once a project was completed, the profits would be immeasurable.
Song Shijing took the familiar route to the fifth floor and knocked on the office door.
After getting confirmation, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Song Shijing saw the two people at the work table at a glance. They were his father Song Wencheng and his mother Li Wan.
Mother is here too?
Song Shijing was very surprised at the moment. In his memory, his mother had never been to the company, so how could they both be here now.
Song Shijing concealed his inner thoughts, strode forward, and called out respectfully: "Dad, Mom."
As soon as Song Wencheng saw Song Shijing, he put a smile on his face and looked completely easy to get along with.
And it just so happens that Song Wencheng is not a strict father on weekdays. On the contrary, he encourages his son to pursue everything he wants.
He often said, just do whatever Xiaojing wants to do, don't leave any regrets, don't be framed by the world.
When Song Shijing chose a major in college, he followed his own heart and chose psychology, a liberal arts major.
Strictly speaking, he chose an engineering major that was more suitable for his family's business.
Li Wan often complained about Song Wencheng, saying that if you spoil your son, he will suffer a loss when he enters society in the future if he is too obedient to his own temper.
Song Wencheng disagreed. His son couldn't live a wanton life.
