"La la la..." The sweet ringtone of the cell phone rang. Li Ruoxi, who was still sleeping, stretched out a hand from the quilt, picked up the cell phone and put it to her ear, and pressed the answer button in a daze.

"Xiao Xi, I'm here to pick you up now." Zhen Xinrui's lively voice sounded on the phone.

"Ruirui...you came to pick me up? What's going on?" Li Ruoxi's head gradually became clearer, but Li Ruoxi didn't understand why Zhen Xinrui called and said she was coming to pick her up.

"Xiao Xi, have you forgotten? I'm going to a fashion show today, and you agreed to be my model!"

"Fashion presentation? It's today... I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently." After Zhen Xinrui reminded her, Li Ruoxi remembered that she had indeed agreed to be Zhen Xinrui's model, but because the first phase of the "Yunju" project had recently entered

In the interior decoration department, her work is getting busier and busier. Yesterday, she even revised the design drawing until late at night, which is why she is so sleepy that she can't get up now.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhen Xinrui didn't mind at all and just said casually, "The press conference starts at two o'clock in the afternoon. I will drive to pick you up now. You are ready to go directly to the venue when I arrive!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you." After saying that, Li Ruoxi hung up the phone.

She stretched her head out of the warm quilt, and the cool air made Li Ruoxi completely awake. Looking at the alarm clock on the bedside table pointing to 10 o'clock, Li Ruoxi couldn't help but smile, thinking that Ruirui had come to pick her up four hours early. It seemed that she was really happy.

Pay attention to this clothing presentation!

"Miss, are you up?" Ma Liang's kind voice came from outside the door.

Hearing Ma Liang's voice, Li Ruoxi thought to herself, she just hung up the phone, could Ruirui arrive so soon? She picked up the nightgown beside the bed and put it on, and Li Ruoxi immediately got out of bed and opened the door.

"Miss, you just got up? Why are you dressed so thin!" Seeing Li Ruoxi only wearing a nightgown, Liang Ma's fat body walked into the room, quickly closed the door, and said with concern, "It's December now.

It's so cold. Miss, please put on your clothes quickly and don't catch a cold."

"Okay, Mother Liang." Li Ruoxi smiled meekly, "Come and call me. Is Ruirui here?"

"It's not Miss Zhen, it's Mr. Qiu who's here." Ma Liang shook her head.

"Brother Yao? Oh, today is the weekend!" Li Ruoxi's long eyelashes trembled, and she finally remembered that today was also the day when Qiu Yaolai reported the company's operating status!

"Miss, Mr. Qiu has been here for almost an hour. He knew you were still sleeping, so he asked me not to disturb you." Mother Liang said lightly.

"Ah? Brother Yao has been here for an hour?" Li Ruoxi patted her head helplessly, "But I have promised Ruirui to go out. It seems that I have been too busy recently and I forgot everything!

"

"Miss, it's okay. If you are really too busy, I will tell Mr. Qiu for you." Looking at Li Ruoxi's helpless expression, Liang's mother comforted her.

"No, Ma Liang, please help me greet Brother Yao first. I'll go down after changing my clothes." Since Brother Yao is here, she can't let him wait in vain. She has to say sorry to him no matter what.

(╯﹏╰)(╯﹏╰)I am the sorry dividing line (╯﹏╰)(╯﹏╰) "Ruoxi, are you tired from work recently?" Qiu Yaoyan looked at Li Ruoxi who had just come down from upstairs.

God is full of care.

"Well, the project is now in the interior decoration part, so my workload has also increased." Li Ruoxi sat down opposite Qiu Yao and responded calmly.

"Ruoxi, no matter how busy you are at work, you must pay attention to your health." When he came here in the morning and heard Liang's mother say that Ruoxi worked until early morning yesterday, he blamed himself for why he came to disturb her so early.

"Brother Yao, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I will pay attention to adjusting my work and rest time." Li Ruoxi smiled. Brother Yao has always cared about her so much. It's like he has been waiting for an hour now, so it doesn't matter.

Not even mentioning it really made her feel a little guilty.

"There's no need to tell me you're sorry, Ruoxi." Protecting her, he will always have no regrets.

"Brother Yao, actually I don't understand the company's affairs even if you tell me. You really don't have to report to me regularly, you just need to deal with it according to your own ideas." Realizing that Qiu Yao looked at him with too hot eyes,

Li Ruoxi lowered her head and changed the subject.

"Ruoxi, I just agreed to help you manage the company. You are the owner and decision-maker of the company. So you still have to be clear about the company's affairs." Seeing Li Ruoxi's flashing expression, Qiu Yao felt a pain in his heart.

For so many years, the bond between them has been business. If even the report is cancelled, how can he interact with her?

"Brother Yao, I..."

When Li Ruoxi was about to speak, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a clear voice: "Xiao Xi, I'm coming! Are you ready? We're about to leave! When we get there, what's going on?

You have to make some preparations!”

Before the sound stopped, Zhen Xinrui's pretty figure appeared in the living room.

"Ruoxi, have you made an appointment with Xinrui?" Qiu Yao asked, looking at Zhen Xinrui appearing in the living room.

"Brother Yao, are you here too?" After hearing Qiu Yao's voice, Zhen Xinrui realized that Qiu Yao was also sitting in the living room. Before Li Ruoxi could answer, she said, "Brother Yao, Xiao Xi promised to accompany him today."

I'm going to a clothing presentation, and she wants to be my model."

"Brother Yao, I'm sorry, I promised Ruirui a long time ago. But I forgot that it was today, and I also forgot that you would be coming today. I didn't notify you in advance, so your trip was in vain."

Regarding the current situation, Li Ruoxi could only apologize to Qiu Yao.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Xinrui asked, not knowing what was going on.

"Today is Brother Yao's routine report on the company's operations."

"It doesn't matter." Looking at the troubled expressions of the two girls and suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Qiu Yao pretended to be relaxed and said, "Ruoxi, since you agreed to Xinrui, then you can go and don't worry about me. Wait.

When you are free, I can just come find you again."

"Brother Yao..." Although Qiu Yao said he didn't mind, Li Ruoxi still felt that it was not good for him to leave like this.

"Xiao Xi, stop talking. You're in a hurry. You have to prepare when you go to the venue! And Brother Yao said so, let's go." After saying that, Zhen Xinrui waved to Qiu Yao, and then did not give Li Ruoxi any time to hesitate.

He pulled her and ran out the door.

After the two left, the living room suddenly became empty, just like Qiu Yao's empty heart...

Closing his eyes heavily, Qiu Yao tried to throw away the feeling of loss in his heart, but his helpless and empty heart became even more sad——

After all, for Ruoxi, he will always come last. Over the years, she has been so polite to him and said sorry to him... But she doesn't know that every time she hears her

Sorry, his heart ached just once, because her apology represented her alienation and rejection of him...

"Mr. Qiu, sometimes being too persistent is not a good thing." Mother Liang's earnest voice sounded next to Qiu Yao.

"Mother Liang, that attachment has taken root in my heart and cannot be transplanted!" Qiu Yao opened his eyes, with a look of pain and confusion on his face.

"Mr. Qiu, why are you doing this? After so many years, I believe you also know that waiting like this is fruitless." Looking at this person who is deeply in the quagmire of love, Liang Ma really can't bear it!

"But, even so, I still look forward to the day when she can see my love and accept my love! And I am used to staying by her side silently. I just ask her to take me into her heart occasionally. ..." Such a humble wish, uttered by a grown man, makes people feel doubly pitiful.

"Mr. Qiu, learn to give up. Miss and you are not suitable..."

"Not suitable?" Qiu Yao murmured, "Actually, from the day I fell in love with her, I already knew that I was not suitable for her. I am too indecisive and it is difficult to deal with her alienation and indifference. It's impossible for her to really open up her heart to me because of my accommodations and concessions... But love is love, and my love for her can't be suppressed at all!"

"Mr. Qiu, you will become scarred in the end. Let it go, take a step back, give yourself a chance to fall in love with someone else, and let the lady feel relieved about your guilt." Since Qiu Yao is with him. After confessing her love in front of him, Liang Ma had no choice but to comfort him in the most straightforward way.

"Does my love make her feel guilty?" Qiu Yao smiled bitterly, "It turns out that she kept saying sorry to me because of her guilt!"

"Mr. Qiu..." Realizing that her direct words may have been too cruel to Qiu Yao, Liang Ma didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"Mother Liang, I understand." The smile on her lips became even bitterer and bitter, "Thank you for your comfort. After so many years, I know very well that no matter in the past, present or future, she and I will never become lovers... ...I can never enter her heart...Maybe from now on, I really have to learn to let go...Even if I can't let go, I can no longer expect her to fall in love with me..."

"Alas..." She let out a long sigh. Ma Liang knew that this person who loved the young lady deeply, no matter whether he could let go of his love for the young lady from now on, he was already scarred...
