Chapter 170 Delicacy
Su Wen looked up from the documents.
When I saw the caller ID, I hesitated for a moment and then pressed the reject button.
"Go on."
The project manager said "oh" and quickly continued what he had just said.
however.
Su Wen, who was originally meticulous, became a little distracted during the subsequent communication.
When she glanced at the phone on the table for the third time, she finally compromised and took it in her hand. She opened WeChat and sent the other party two words: [Meeting]
The other side replied immediately: [Busy now, talk later. ]
Su Wen finally calmed down and was able to devote herself to her work.
Forty minutes passed.
The small discussion ended.
"Boss Su, let's go back to the room first, and you should go to bed early."
Su Wen saw them out and said, "Meet in the lobby at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"OK, got it."
After everyone left, Su Wen closed the door and secured it.
When I returned to the room and checked the time, it was already 9:30 in the evening.
Su Wen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in slippers, looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the night, and called back.
Liang Jingze's slow voice came from the receiver, "You've been busy on this business trip."
Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, a little bit. Several projects are concentrated in Lin Province and rushed together."
"Your voice is hoarse. How long has the meeting been going on?"
"More than two hours."
Liang Jingze took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Go drink some water first, I'll call you later."
Su Wen turned around and walked towards the tea bar, saying as she walked: "It's okay, drinking water won't affect answering the phone."
"Drink first, and then we'll talk."
Before Su Wen could respond, the phone was hung up.
Su Wen took the phone away from her ear, looked at the call record on the screen, and frowned slightly.
Weird.
Su Wen cancelled the silent mode on her phone, threw it on the bed, and went to the tea bar to boil some water.
The water is boiled and the tea is brewed.
There was no movement from Liang Jingze's end.
Su Wen didn't wait any longer, but took out her pajamas from the suitcase and went into the bathroom.
Half an hour later.
Su Wen came out of the shower and just in time heard her cell phone ringing.
That's the special effect sound of the video call.
Su Wen thought it was her sister Su Ti, so she picked it up and saw that it was an application sent by Liang Jingze.
Su Wen hesitated a little, looked down at the two-piece nightgown she was wearing, and only answered the call after making sure there was nothing wrong.
In the lens.
Liang Jingze was wearing a white shirt, sitting in the living room of Lijingdu, with a gentle smile on his face.
"The bath?"
Su Wen smoothed her wet long hair and hummed, "Did you just get home?"
"There's a dinner party tonight." Liang Jingze put one arm behind his head and looked up, "I just walked in."
Su Wen: "Watch your stomach."
"I didn't drink." Liang Jingze curled his lips, "I asked my assistant to send me a box of cephalexin."
Su Wen laughed out loud, "That's a good way to avoid drinking."
Liang Jingze looked at her smiling face with gentle eyes, "Did you drink water?"
Su Wen picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Freshly brewed black tea."
"Drink less tea at night and save some space in your stomach."
"One cup won't hurt."
Su Wen didn't hear the implicit meaning of "leave some room for yourself".
Liang Jingze didn't emphasize it again.
After a few minutes.
Liang Jingze pulled the collar of his shirt with one hand and said, "No more talking, blow dry your hair and go to bed early."
Su Wen: "Yeah, you too."
End the video call.
Su Wen stroked the screen of her mobile phone and was in a daze for a while.
If she were to be honest, she didn't mind Liang Jingze's care and kindness.
Although it hasn't reached the level I expected.
But Liang Jingze's measured words and actions and his measured concern always inadvertently touched her sensitive nerves.
Su Wen suddenly had a ridiculous thought.
If she hadn't insisted on canceling the engagement for Fang Zheming, she would be with Liang Jingze now...
The flying thoughts have not yet landed.
The doorbell of the guest room rang suddenly.
"Hello, room service."
Outside the door, the waiter pushed the dining cart and said in a friendly manner: "Hello, Ms. Su, your snow pear and Sichuan Fritillary Soup."
The service of a five-star hotel is beyond doubt.
There is no possibility of wrong delivery.
Su Wen thought of Liang Jingze almost reflexively.
The waiter brought the bowl of soup to her room and considerately closed the door for her.
Su Wen stood by the table, looking at the bowl of sweet soup, feeling uneasy.
Of course, she didn't bother asking Liang Jingze whether it was given by him.
Less than two minutes after the sweet soup was delivered, I received the message on WeChat.
Liang Jingze: [Try to finish drinking it to moisten your throat.]
These few ordinary words brought Su Wen an unusual feeling.
What a trivial matter.
It is filled with thoughtfulness and delicacy.
Su Wen, who is over thirty years old, has seen prosperity and experienced all kinds of life.
She should have been calm, but suddenly her heart was touched by such warmth and thoughtfulness.
……
Three days later.
The business trip is over.
Su Wen led the team back to Pingjiang from Lin Province.
When I walked out of the high-speed rail station, it was almost evening.
Su Wen asked everyone to go back and rest early, and she took a taxi back to Shui'an Jiayuan.
Half an hour into the house.
Liang Jingze's call came unexpectedly.
"are you home yet?"
Su Wen hung the hanger in the closet and said, "We're here, packing now."
Liang Jingze looked at his watch and said, "It will take me another hour to finish this. If you are hungry, eat something first."
"Don't worry about me, just do your thing first. If you can't finish it, we can have dinner another day."
"It's different." Liang Jingze pretended to be annoyed, "I said I would pick you up, but something happened and I broke the promise. You have to give me a chance to apologize."
Su Wen couldn't help but smile: "Don't come on, it's not a big deal."
Liang Jingze: "I'm busy now, wait for me at home."
Su Wen responded, but the other end didn't hang up the phone.
Liang Jingze's Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "Think about what to eat in advance."
"Okay, go get busy."
"Well, hung up."
A busy tone sounded on the receiver.
Su Wen lowered her arms and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
We are still at the friendship stage.
But it seems like there is something more than just friends.
six thirty.
Liang Jingze came to Shui'an Jiayuan and picked up Su Wen who was waiting at the gate of the community.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Su Wen leaned back in her chair and tilted her head to ask, "Do you have any plans?"
Liang Jingze held the steering wheel with his left hand and glanced at her sideways, "You owe me a golf sparring match, can you make it up to me tomorrow?"
Su Wen thought of the last time and smiled knowingly, "You can make it up, but not tomorrow."
"Some day, you decide."
"The day after tomorrow, Sunday. I'm free all day."
Liang Jingze readily agreed, "Then Sunday."
Su Wen turned her head away and looked at the street view outside the window.
A slight ripple appeared in the calm gaze.
It is undeniable that getting along with Liang Jingze is easy, comfortable and stress-free.
Just like the invitation just now, if it were someone else, they would probably casually ask "What are you doing tomorrow?"
But Liang Jingze didn't do that. Instead, he made new arrangements to accommodate her schedule.
Su Wen vaguely realized that she had never actually understood Liang Jingze.
Even though they had known each other for seven or eight years, her understanding of him still remained in the past, just above the surface of friendship.
