The banquet ceremony stood outside the door, speechless for a moment.
I don't know how long I stood there, but Shen Nian in the office said softly.
"Mr. Ji, please come back."
The sound of the quarterly banquet ceremony was a little dry.
"Chen Nian, I don't understand why you think I don't like you."
Shen Nian in the office smiled nonchalantly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
Fortunately, the two of them were standing opposite each other across the office door. The seasonal banquet outside the door made it difficult to see the indescribable complex emotions remaining in Shen Nian's eyes.
At the same time, Shen Nian couldn't see clearly the emotions in Ji Yanli's eyes outside the door, and she didn't want to.
She reached out and touched the door handle, forcing a smile.
"Because of women's intuition, don't refute. If you refute, you are wrong."
The quarterly banquet was silent.
"..."
For a moment, he actually admired Shen Nian's logic, and he couldn't refute it.
What does it mean to refute that he is wrong?
But Ji Yanli still asked without giving up.
"Can't we have a good chat between us, Xiao Nian?"
——Xiao Nian.
Shen Nian's body trembled, and she was a little unsure whether she had heard wrongly.
Call her...Xiao Nian...?
In my impression, Ji Yanli has never called her that since she married Ji Yanli.
It was Aunt Gu who had been calling her for a long time, but the man in front of her had always been lukewarm towards her and would only call her by her first name.
In the more than a year since their marriage, Ji Yanli has never called her the nickname "Xiao Nian".
When Shen Nian first entered the Ji family, she also hoped that this man would gradually warm up to her and call her by her nickname so affectionately. However, after being disappointed again and again after getting married, Shen Nian gradually understood that the man who did not belong to him, No need to hope too much.
Later, after Shen Nian understood that Ji Yanli belonged to someone, he gradually felt relieved. However, the relief also meant that Shen Nian gradually let go of Ji Yanli.
It's so good...so good that Shen Nian's original firm belief wavered for a moment after hearing the words of Ji Banli.
However, after a moment of mental swaying, she woke up almost immediately.
Shen Nian sneered.
"Mr. Ji, I'm at work. Please show some basic respect to my work and don't block me at the door of my office. Thank you for your cooperation."
The last "Thank you for your cooperation", she said it so politely that Ji Yanli felt chilled when she heard it.
The banquet stood outside the door and was silent for a moment. In the end, he was still unwilling to compromise.
He took a step back.
"Are you at work? Then I'll pick you up when you get off work."
He really wanted to make it clear to Shen Nian face to face, and wanted to hear her explain the ins and outs to him face to face.
Shen Nian was so angry that she laughed, and she flatly refused.
"no."
This time, the quarterly banquet ceremony was completely speechless.
He could only leave like this.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to say something to Shen Nian inside the door.
"Okay, I'll leave first."
So that she could know that she was indeed gone.
Shen Nian put his ear next to the office door and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Yanli's footsteps fading away.
It seems to be a matter of luck, but it also seems to be out of an inexplicable melancholy.
She forced back the sadness in her heart.
Shen Nian did not allow herself to have such emotions because of the quarterly banquet.
In her mind, since she gave up, it meant giving up completely.
If Ji Yanli doesn't like him, why should he continue to have his old feelings for him?
Even if all the men in the world died, she wouldn't want to find someone who already had her heart set on her.
No matter how good the other party's conditions are, no matter how reluctant you are to let him go, it won't work.
The reason why issues of principle are issues of principle is that sometimes principles cannot be compromised.
If she likes Zhou Xiaojing’s quarterly banquet, she definitely doesn’t want it.
Shen Nian listened to the footsteps fading away and sat back at the desk again.
at noon.
Shen Nian went to the canteen of Heshan Office to eat as usual.
However, she soon discovered something was wrong.
There's something wrong with the atmosphere.
In the cafeteria, there were several female employees who looked at her strangely.
They gathered together and seemed to be whispering and discussing something. From time to time, some people would turn to look at Shen Nian.
Shen Nian's hand holding the dinner plate paused.
You don't need to think twice to know that these employees gathered together in whispers to discuss themselves.
The group of female employees seemed to have noticed Shen Nian. Apparently, they also realized that they had been caught talking behind someone's back, and they looked a little embarrassed.
Among the several female employees, one who seemed to have a lively personality came forward and smiled and said to Shen Nian.
"Lawyer Shen, we were just discussing how your husband dotes on you."
Hearing the words "your husband", Shen Nian felt his heart skip a beat.
It was as if a pair of invisible hands were holding her heart.
What are you doing at the quarterly banquet? Why does he still linger?
She bit her lower lip and asked the female employee.
"my husband?"
This time, I asked the female employee.
She widened her eyes and looked up and down at Shen Nian before speaking blankly.
"Huh? He is not your husband, is he an imposter?"
Shen Nian was silent for a moment.
"It doesn't count..."
The female employee was startled again.
"What do you call it?"
Shen Nian did not answer directly this time, but continued to ask questions.
"What did he say? Why are we still discussing him?"
The female employee thought for a moment and said.
"It's nothing. It's just that the man is so handsome and drives a luxury car, so we discussed it for a while. As for whether he is a husband or not, that's his own decision."
Another employee said with envy.
"Yes, Sister Shen, I didn't expect your husband to be so handsome. I'm almost going to be a nymphomaniac."
"Really, why did you come up and say he's your husband? Can't you just let us be infatuated for a while?"
In the midst of all the chatter, Shen Nian fell silent while holding the dinner plate.
Envy...?
In fact, she doesn't think she is very enviable.
No matter how good the appearance of the quarterly banquet is, he is still someone else's man, not hers.
After being married to a man who didn't love her for more than a year, Shen Nian felt that she was a bit unlucky when she thought about it.
Shen Nian looked at the girls with bright eyes on the side. When they looked at him, their eyes were full of envy and curiosity. She couldn't help but sigh softly and walked aside with the dinner plate.
only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.
Shen Nian now only hopes that he will have nothing to do with Ji Yanli anymore.
However, Shen Nian soon discovered that he was wrong.
The whole afternoon was calm. Shen Nian thought that after what she said about Ji Yanli, she would just let it go, but she found that she still underestimated Ji Yanli.
In the afternoon, when Shen Nian got off work, a bouquet of perfume lilies was delivered to her office.
