Chapter 179 The feeling of not being able to love
The next day.
Qi Nian sent Lin Ting to work at Ronal Ceramics as usual.
Shen Qingran stayed at the gate of the community all night, her eyes turned red, fearing that Qi Nian would slip away from her if she didn't notice.
A black Maybach drove out of Shangheyuan Community.
"Is it Brother Anian's car?"
She hurriedly started the car and followed.
Shen Qingran chased closely all the way.
Qi Nian looked through the rearview mirror and noticed a car following him from behind. He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated, trying to get rid of the car.
Lin Ting looked at Qinian with confusion on his face.
"Why are you driving so fast all of a sudden?"
He looked in the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye and saw that there was a certain distance between him and the car, and then he came back to answer Lin Ting's question.
"The company had something to do and I needed to arrive early, so I thought of driving faster to save some time."
"Oh, if you are in a hurry next time, you don't need to send it. I will take the subway myself and it will be the same!"
"As my wife's full-time driver, it is a serious dereliction of duty if I fail to pick you up from get off work for several days in a row! If I don't take you to work, wouldn't there be a risk of being fired?"
Lin Ting joked: "Are you still afraid of being fired by me?"
"That's for sure. I worked hard to get this job as a full-time driver. I can't lose my job, otherwise my wife will be even less willing to give birth to a baby for me!"
"Grumpy!"
Lin Ting's mouth was full of disgust, but the expression on his face was filled with happiness.
The car stopped at Ronal Ceramics.
Shen Qingran's car also caught up slowly, and through the car window, she looked at the Maybach parked in front of Ronal Ceramics.
Because she was a step too late, she did not see Lin Ting's face. She only vaguely saw a figure getting out of Qi Nian's car.
"Brother Anian, what are you doing here?"
Shen Qingran looked towards the door of the company.
Several girls walking in side by side were talking and laughing together, while Qi Nian was looking at the row of girls.
"Is he here to see someone off?" Shen Qingran came to the conclusion.
"Brother Anian has a girlfriend?"
Shen Qingran found it difficult to accept the news.
She never thought that her brother Anian would be with another woman.
The secret love that had not been seen in the light of day for all these years was finally lost to another woman.
The sour emotion in my heart instantly turned into tears.
At this moment, she suddenly felt empty in her heart. After losing Shen Huaixu, Qi Nian was her only support in these years. Every night in country M, she relied on this belief to sustain herself.
Now this support is broken!
Tears blurred her vision, and the black Maybach gradually disappeared from her sight.
In the Qi Group.
Jiang Kuo saw that Shen Qingran hadn't come to work all day, so he called her.
It rang for a long time, but still no one answered.
He immediately went to Qi Nian's office.
"Qingran didn't come to the company today, do you know where she went?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't you go back to the manor with her last night?"
"I did send her back to the manor last night, but I returned to Shang Heyuan at night. After sending Lin Ting to Ronal to work in the morning, I came to the company and didn't see her."
Qi Nian said truthfully, and suddenly remembered that a car was following him in the morning.
Only then did he react suddenly.
"When I sent Lin Ting to work in the morning, I noticed someone following me on the way. Could it be Qingran?"
When Jiang Kuo heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.
"Oops."
He hurriedly ran out of the office, frantically looking for Shen Qingran everywhere, and kept calling her.
Finally, after countless missed calls, Shen Qingran finally got through.
"Qingran, you are finally willing to answer the phone!"
"Brother Jiang Kuo, I feel so much pain, my heart hurts so much!"
"Qingran, where are you now?"
There was deafening music coming from the other side of the phone, and Shen Qingran's speech was somewhat unclear, so Jiang Kuo guessed which bar Shen Qingran must be drinking at.
He hurriedly ordered his men to turn over all the bars in Jiangcheng.
When he arrived at the bar out of breath, Shen Qingran was lying on the bar, drunk.
He walked forward and pushed her with worry in his eyes.
"Qingran, are you okay?"
Shen Qingran, smelling of alcohol, raised her head from the bar and looked at Jiang Kuo.
A pair of beautiful eyes full of mist.
It slipped down the moment he raised his head, as if it was about to break at any moment.
That scene instantly hurt his heart.
The tears seemed not to fall to the ground, but to prick his heart like needles.
She choked and asked Jiang Kuo.
"Brother Anian has someone he likes, right?"
"..."
Jiang Kuo's silence said everything.
"I knew that after I came back this time, he obviously changed. I have liked him for so many years. He has someone he likes. How could I not notice it."
Shen Qingran kept talking to herself about her feelings for Qi Nian.
"I have liked him for seven years. For seven years, I know that Brother Anian has never liked me. He only treats me as a sister, just a sister!"
She said as she got down from her seat at the bar, swaying on her feet and a little unsteady on her feet.
Jiang Kuo hurriedly supported her.
"Qingran, you are drunk!"
Shen Qingran shook off Jiang Kuo's hand.
"You don't need to help me, I'm not drunk!"
The bartender, smelling of alcohol, said to the bartender, "Pour me another glass of your strongest and strongest wine!"
The waiter poured her another glass.
Jiang Kuo hurriedly snatched it away: "Stop drinking, you are already drunk!"
Shen Qingran grabbed Jiang Kuo's shoulder and was about to snatch the wine glass from his hand.
"I'm not drunk. Give me the wine. I want to drink it. Why is my heart still hurting after drinking so much wine..."
As she spoke, she fell drunk into Jiang Kuo's arms.
"If you're so sad, don't like him anymore."
Jiang Kuo looked at the drunk and unconscious girl in his arms with a distressed look on his face. He took off his coat, wrapped it around her skirt, picked her up and walked out of the bar.
The girl was sobbing painfully in his arms.
"Do you know that I really like Brother Anian, very much!"
Seeing Shen Qingran so sad, he felt an unbearable sourness in his heart.
The restrained and forbearing voice had a slight tremor.
"I know, I know it all."
Jiang Kuo brought Shen Qingran back to his residence and gently placed her on the bed as if he were caring for a treasure.
Looking at the girl's sleeping face, the possessiveness and jealousy in his heart gradually increased. His hand uncontrollably wanted to touch her face, but the moment he was about to touch her face, he forcibly withdrew it.
He clenched his hands into fists and pulled away to leave, but Shen Qingran suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Don't go!"
The sudden touch made his heart beat unexpectedly.
The feelings that had been suppressed for many years burst out at this moment.
He turned around and looked at Shen Qingran, the hot emotion in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
"Brother Anian, don't leave."
The girl's words instantly dimmed the light in his eyes, and the bitter smile did not reach his eyes.
It turns out that she just thought of him as Qinian.
He wanted to withdraw the hand held by Shen Qingran.
But the girl said with a sad face: "Brother Anian, I don't want to just be your sister..."
A few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
It seemed to fall on his heart.
His feet were as heavy as lead. He stood there, staring at the few tears, and his eyes gradually turned red.
After all, he couldn't bear to leave and sat down on the edge of the bed.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
There was a dull pain in my heart.
The feeling of not being able to love.
He feels it more than anyone else.
"I don't want to just be your brother Jiang Kuo. When can you look back at me?"
