Chapter 19 Yanhe Group

I’m afraid you’ll know.

I’m also afraid you won’t know.

I’m also afraid you’ll know but pretend you don’t know.

***

Silence for a few seconds.

Su Yu poked her head out from under the covers, “Who said I had grievances?”

Shen Yan pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the coffee table and walked towards her, “If you don’t, then why were you crying?”

He sat down at the edge of the bed and reached out to pull her covers, but Su Yu dodged, “You’re a little too nosy.”

Shen Yan’s hand stopped in mid-air. In the moonlight, he stared at Su Yu’s face, his eyes gradually turning deep.

His thin lips moved slightly, “Is that so?”

For no reason, the relationship between them suddenly became a little stiff.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of each other’s breaths remained.

“Then consider it my nosiness.” Shen Yan said abruptly.

He retracted his hand, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Hearing the sound of him picking up his keys, Su Yu immediately pulled back the covers, “Can you…not leave?”

There was a hint of begging in her voice.

In the dark room, Su Yu vaguely saw the man’s figure stiffen for a moment, then she heard his clear voice, “What’s wrong?”

Su Yu pursed her lips, “I don’t want to be alone.”

She wanted to be sentimental tonight.

Shen Yan was silent for a moment, moved the key, “Then I’ll stay and keep you company.”

He took off his jacket again and threw it on the sofa.

He got into bed and lay down next to Su Yu.

Su Yu could clearly feel a sense of coldness and distance radiating from him.

She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with this feeling.

But on second thought, she really didn’t need to tell him about her personal matters.

It was just a few nights of sleeping together, after all.

She thought this way, but Su Yu still couldn’t help but lean over and burrow into Shen Yan’s arms, hugging him.

Shen Yan didn’t reject her, he just reached out his right hand and wrapped it around her waist.

The two of them just hugged quietly, neither of them speaking.

Su Yu felt like she was a little addicted to this embrace.

The man’s distinctive woody perfume lingered in her nose. She sniffed it, couldn’t help but rub her nose against it, her head lightly rested on Shen Yan’s chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat.

She slowly closed her eyes, feeling a strange sense of security.

Just then, Shen Yan suddenly spoke.

“Go to sleep, I’m not leaving.”

His voice was low and mellow, especially seductive in the quiet night.

Su Yu softly hummed, not saying anything more.

She fell asleep soon, but Shen Yan couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

He wanted to get closer to her, but she seemed a little wary of him.

Their relationship didn’t seem as close as he thought.

Perhaps he should find a suitable opportunity to be honest with her about his feelings.

He didn’t want to just be her FWB.

The night was long, Shen Yan gently kissed Su Yu’s forehead, and held her tighter.

The next day.

When Su Yu woke up, Shen Yan was gone.

She got up and sat on the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes, looking at the ceiling blankly.

A strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart, a little disappointed, a little melancholy.

She had never felt this way before, it was a sense of loss.

She hated this feeling.

The weather in Haicheng at the end of September was starting to get a little cold, even during the day.

Su Yu, as usual, arrived at the company half an hour early.

There were almost no more units left for their recent project. The remaining tail-end units were almost all on the lower floors.

Su Yu was already starting to worry about where their next project would be.

After the morning meeting, Xiao Zhao went out to have breakfast and brought her one back.

“Thank you~” Su Yu smiled sweetly and took the breakfast from Xiao Zhao.

“Sister Yu, you’re being polite with me!” Xiao Zhao scratched his head sheepishly and laughed.

He was considered a small disciple brought by Su Yu.

Su Yu patted him on the shoulder, “Next time, Sister will treat you to coffee.”

“Okay!” Xiao Zhao replied happily.

Su Yu took her breakfast to the pantry. The company’s rule was that you couldn’t eat in the office area, and if you were caught, you would be fined.

Chu Yao and another female colleague happened to be sitting there eating breakfast.

“What delicious food are you eating?”

Su Yu walked over and asked casually.

“It’s the xiaolongbao that Sister Yao recommended. Do you want to try it? It’s really good.” The female colleague moved her breakfast closer to Su Yu.

Su Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, “Okay.”

She picked up a piece of the female colleague’s xiaolongbao.

Hmm, it tasted really good. She liked this filling.

“Delicious.”

“Right?” The female colleague replied with a smile.

Chu Yao took a sip of soy milk, looking at Su Yu with a bewildered expression, “This project is about to be cleared out. Have you thought about which project you want to go to?”

The female colleague swallowed the last bite of xiaolongbao, “I’ll see what the company arranges then. I’ll go to other projects if there are any.”

Chu Yao put down the soy milk, “Other projects are not in Haicheng, they are in other cities. Are you going too?”

The female colleague shrugged, “I don’t mind, I’ll go wherever.”

“What about you? Su Yu.” Chu Yao looked at Su Yu, “Are you going to the projects in other cities?”

Su Yu also took a sip of soy milk and shook her head, “I haven’t decided yet, but to be honest, I don’t want to go to projects in other cities.”

Chu Yao: “Why?”

“Well, I seem to be used to staying in this city of Haicheng.”

If she really had to change cities for work, she wouldn’t be used to it.

The female colleague came back after throwing away the garbage and sat down, wiping her mouth as she said, “I heard that Yanhe Group has a new project in the city recruiting people.”

“Yanhe?”

“Yeah, they have a new project in the south of the city, but they seem to be selling commercial properties.”

Chu Yao glanced at Su Yu who was lowering her head again and asked, “Su Yu, what do you think? Why don’t you go and try it?”

Su Yu raised her head, “There are a lot of people with connections in Yanhe, where did you see the recruitment?”

Su Yu turned her head to look at the female colleague.

“I saw it the day before yesterday when I was driving back.”

Chu Yao continued, “I really think you should go and try it. We don’t have any connections, so we can just go directly and ask. Maybe if you ask, you’ll get a chance.”

Su Yu pondered for a moment after hearing this, “That’s true.”

What Chu Yao said was indeed reasonable. She could go and ask first.

After all, opportunities are earned by yourself. Many times, if you hesitate, the opportunity will disappear.

Since there was a chance, she would try it.

The next afternoon, Su Yu greeted Chu Yao and drove to the project that the female colleague mentioned.

She arrived at 5:30 pm.

The project was still under construction with green netting. Only the sales center was built.

Su Yu put on her high heels and got out of the car.

Before coming, she secretly went to the restroom and changed into casual clothes.

It wouldn’t be good to come to someone else’s project wearing her own work uniform.

Su Yu walked towards the sales center. As she was about to reach the door, she saw two men talking in front of the pillar at the entrance. One of them was a figure she was familiar with.
