love across mountains and seas

Chapter 21 I Can't Help You

"You come in."

Chu Ran, who was about to close the door, turned around slowly, still holding the doorknob tightly.

Tong Yuyi had already entered, but there was no sound of footsteps following behind him. When he turned around, he saw the man standing half inside the door and half outside the door, staring blankly at her.

"What are you in a daze for, come in."

After closing the door, Chu Ran walked towards Tong Yuyi, feeling more nervous as he got closer.

Tong Yuyi glanced at her, and brushed his long hair in front of him, "Help me take off the necklace."

The white and smooth nape of the neck fell into the eyes, making people's heart suffocate.Chu Ran was stunned, raised her hand slightly and put it down again, her brain took a sharp turn and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, she didn't seem to hear what Tong Yuyi said.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the person behind him move, Tong Yuyi looked over in the mirror and saw that Chu Ran still had the blank expression on his face.

What's wrong with this kid?

"Hurry up."

Couldn't help urging, Chu Ran hurriedly raised her hand when she regained her senses, and her fingertips lightly brushed Tong Yuyi's slender neck, and the cool touch came, which made her heart skip a beat twice.

"Small, Mr. Tong, take it off, right?"

Tong Yuyi kept looking at Chu Ran, and seeing that the other person's face was already flushed with naked eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little funny.

Does that make you blush?Not like her.

"Ah."

A simple light answer seemed to bring a charming taste to my ears.Making a swallowing movement, Chu Ran felt that something was wrong with him now.Try to focus and let go of other distractions!

"Boss Tong, what's wrong with this necklace?"

Handing the necklace to Tong Yuyi, the other party waved his hand, "You put it away for me first."

After rearranging her hair, Tong Yuyi looked at Chu Ran in the mirror, "The necklace Mrs. Xue wears is the same as mine."

"Mrs. Xue?"

Tong Yuyi tidied up her appearance and turned around, "Deputy bureau chief Han is also the wife of the deputy mayor."

Seeing Chu Ran's sudden realization, Tong Yuyi smiled, "Go to work tomorrow and memorize the relationship list of important people."

"Oh, okay." Nodding obediently, Chu Ran looked like a good student, "I'll just ask Miss Zhiwei for this watch, right?"

Tong Yuyi glanced at her, and raised his hand to pull the doorknob. Seeing this, Chu Ran hurried forward to open the door.Right hand touched right hand, but no one opened the door.

"Do you want me to watch your back?"

Withdrawing his hand, like a power delay, Chu Ran shook his head quickly: "No! No."

With a chuckle, Tong Yuyi opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

Are you... being laughed at?Tong Yuyi's smile just now was contempt, right?What's the meaning!

At 8:[-] p.m., the dinner party started on time.At that time, Chu Ran was following Tong Yuyi just after finishing greetings with the boss of a construction company.

After the master of ceremonies finished reading the opening remarks, the deputy mayor was invited to speak on stage.

Tong Yuyi represented the Chongshi Group, and naturally stood in a conspicuous place. As her assistant, Chu Ran shouldn't be too far ahead at this time, but Tong Yuyi didn't say anything, so he pretended not to understand and followed her side.

She had to remember the people Tong Yuyi met today, and she had to listen carefully to what she said.Especially, the officials she met.

The deputy mayor didn't talk much, and ended his speech with a few official accents.The dinner was a self-service one. Chu Ran ate little at noon, but now he was even more hungry when he saw so many delicious foods.But fortunately, secretary Chu and police officer Chu kept his mission in mind, even if he was hungry and even if the temptation was great, he would firmly wait behind Tong Yuyi.

"Sister Han," Tong Yuyi walked up to a middle-aged woman who looked about forty, and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, you look young again, you look so good."

The person who was praised bent his eyes, smiled and patted the back of Tong Yuyi's hand, "Little Tong, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, how can I compare with you little girls."

"Where?" Tong Yuyi also smiled, looking down, the necklace hanging on the woman's neck is the limited edition necklace she just took off.

"Sister Han, the necklace is very beautiful and suits you very well."

The woman named Sister Han touched her necklace, and the smile on her face deepened.

"My younger brother brought it back for me. I don't understand these things. You young people have a good vision."

Tong Yuyi smiled, she still knew about this little brother, relying on the help of his family to do some business, he often hung out with Zhao Er's group, and he had tried to trick Gu Xixi before, but he stopped after being warned by his brother-in-law.

Chu Ran clasped his hands in front of him and stood a few steps away from Tong Yuyi, neither far nor near, so that no one would pay attention to her, and he could hear what they said clearly.

Sister Han doesn't know, but as Mrs. Xue, she still knows her husband, Xue Yiping, Jiangcheng's second in command.

Looking at the relationship between Tong Yuyi and her, it should be... There is some friendship, so this friendship is not so much between her and her, maybe it should be... between him and him.

The two said something else, and Chu Ran heard it, and it was just chatting.After a while, a few people gathered together, Tong Yuyi said a few words to them and then withdrew.

"Mr. Tong, can I get you some food?" This night, Tong Yuyi basically didn't eat anything. Seeing how many glasses of wine she had just had, Chu Ran was a little worried about whether her stomach could take it.

Putting the empty wine glass on the waiter's tray, Tong Yuyi said, "Let's go eat something together, you didn't eat anything."

"Oh, I'm not..." Chu Ran wanted to say that it wasn't because he was hungry, so he paused, thinking whether it would be a little bad to say it.

"I know." After she finished speaking, Tong Yuyi continued.Chu Ran froze for a moment, did she know?

The two came to the dining area, Chu Ran was in charge of picking up the food, and Tong Yuyi was in charge of ordering.

"Let's go somewhere."

After packing the food, Tong Yuyi took Chu Ran to the side door of the banquet hall.

Presumably, Tong Yuyi is very familiar with this place. There is an open-air garden balcony outside the small hall next door connected to it through the side door.Opening the door, two people came outside.

There are several dining tables on the open-air balcony. Outside is the night view of the river, and the lights of thousands of houses are shining.

Holding a fork, Tong Yuyi forked a small snack and ate it in small bites.

The wind blew again, Tong Yuyi stroked his hair and put his hand on his arm.Chu Ran glanced at her and put the dinner plate on the table.He took off his small suit jacket and put it on Tong Yuyi.

The hand holding the fork froze in the air, and Chu Ran put the clothes on her from the front of his body, as if he wanted to wrap her whole body in his arms.However, after the clothes were put on, she returned to her original position.

"got windy."

With three simple words, Tong Yuyi's heart softened for a moment when he looked at the person who was buried in eating.

"Is it tasty?"

Raising his head, his eyes were shining brightly in the dark night.Nodding, Chu Ran raised the corners of his lips, "It's delicious."

Stretching out his hand to wipe away the crumbs from her lips, Tong Yuyi saw Chu Ranwu staring at his eyes at this moment, and suddenly wanted to touch her.Of course, she did.

The shortbread in Chu Ran's mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, and one side of her cheek was slightly puffed up. Tong Yuyi's white and cool hand stroked her head and stayed on her cheek and ear.The thumb and palm brushed her face lightly, and Chu Ran's heart beat accordingly.

There was always a faint smile on Tong Yuyi's face, she touched Chu Ran's face a few times, and when she was about to put it down, someone grabbed her wrist.

"Tong Yuyi..."

Chu Ran felt that his face was very red now, his heart was beating fast, and his mind was in a mess.She held Tong Yuyi's wrist and looked at her tender eyes.Chu Ran suddenly wanted to ask her if she had committed a crime.

Such a good girl shouldn't be like that.

"do you have......"

He didn't blame Chu Ran for calling her by his name, nor did he resist, Tong Yuyi let her hold him, waiting for what she wanted to say.

"Do you have."

crime.

"fiancé."

With a smile on his lips, Tong Yuyi lowered his head, put the broken hair behind his ears, and then raised his head to look directly at Chu Ran.

"What do you say?"

Letting go of the wrist he was holding, Chu Ran saw that his fair skin was a little red at this moment, presumably he had just tightened his grip.

"Feel sorry."

She pointed to Tong Yuyi's wrist, "It hurts you."

Tong Yuyi nodded and looked out into the night.Chu Ran looked at her side face, in fact, he was also very concerned about whether she had a fiancé.

With a slight sigh, Chu Ran stood up, "I'll go get something to drink."

Hearing that Tong Yuyi turned his head to look at her, she didn't wait for anyone to answer, she turned around and was about to walk out.

"No need." Tong Yuyi stood up, "Let's go back, after all, we're not here to relax today."

With the usual tone, Chu Ran felt a little more tired than before.

Before returning to the banquet hall, Tong Yuyi took off his coat and returned it to Chu Ran.

Putting on that little suit again, it was obviously the same dress, but it felt a little different when worn on the body.

It should be her perfume. Taking a deep breath, Chu Ran said to himself in his heart.

As soon as he returned to the banquet hall, Jiang Han greeted him from the opposite side.Seeing Tong Yuyi, people saw his white teeth all the way.

"Xiao Yi, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Is there something wrong?" Tong Yuyi was also upset. She also wanted to visit a few more people in the "Fortress" and didn't want to waste time on Jiang Han.

"It's okay, I just want to see what you need. By the way, are you hungry? I didn't see you eat anything just now."

"Have eaten, thank you."

After finishing speaking, Tong Yuyi was about to bypass Jiang Han, when she saw Wu Chuzheng from the municipal government walking towards the dining table alone.

"Xiaoyi, there will be a dance later, the first dance today..."

"Sorry I don't really feel like dancing."

"Ah, the first dance is still to be done, and I want you to join me."

Interrupted by Jiang Han, Wu Chuna was already followed, Tong Yuyi also stopped, and looked at Jiang Han with some anger.However, before she could say anything, a figure stood in front of her, separating her from Jiang Han.

"Boss Tong, go eat something."

Chu Ran is from the north. Although she is a girl, she wears boots with small heels and is about the same height as Jiang Han.She blocked Jiang Han tightly, and she turned her back to him and winked at Tong Yuyi.

The direction of the hand is exactly where Wu Chu is.

From the moment Jiang Han appeared to Chu Ran, he was not pleasing to his eyes, and now seeing him whirling around Tong Yuyi makes him feel even more annoyed.Just now, Tong Yuyi stared in that direction for a few seconds, and she still knew about Wu Department of the municipal government.

Tong Yuyi glanced at her and nodded, "Okay, you accompany me there." After finishing speaking, he ignored the others and walked towards the dining table by himself.

Seeing that someone was about to leave, Jiang Han hurried forward. It was him who stood here and did not keep up with Tong Yuyifang.

"Boss Jiang"

Blocking Jiang Han's way, Chu Ran said with a smile on his face, "I'll just take care of Mr. Tong. You should be busy with other things. Mr. Tong also has things to do."

Jiang Han was annoyed when he was interrupted by the little assistant who came out halfway, but he was about to curse because she was from Tong Yuyi.As a result, after hearing what Chu Ran said, he looked at it again and immediately understood.But his face was refuted, which made him a little bit embarrassed. He glared at Chu Ran, snorted, and turned to find his cronies.

Chu Ran looks down on such a second-generation ancestor. She can't rely on her family to be crazy and brainless. She is not a hater of the rich. become more perfect, such as...

The figure of Tong Yuyi appeared in his mind, Chu Ran sighed in his heart, turned around, and looked at the person who had gone away.

Tong Yuyi...

As if hearing the voice in her heart, Tong Yuyi, who was talking over there, suddenly turned his head and waved to her.

The broken sound of disintegration spread from the heart to the internal organs.Chu Ran closed his eyes, opened them again, and walked towards Tong Yuyi.

Everything is destined, no one can help.
