One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty Three: Fall (I)
On the other side.
Tang Jifeng was in a meeting in the conference room. Ye Yan got married and went on a honeymoon with Shu early this morning. This trip will last for nearly a month, so all the things are piled up here.
While listening to the directors of various departments reporting on their work, his eyes drifted to the mobile phone placed aside. Even Mo Tian beside him noticed that Mr. Tang was obviously waiting for someone's call today, and he was absent-minded throughout the meeting.
When he saw it for the fifth time, the mobile phone suddenly vibrated. The hand holding the pen tightened a little. He grabbed the phone and saw that the name displayed on it was not the two words in his mind. His face changed slightly, and he hung up without hesitation without answering the call.
With this little episode, he became a little irritable inexplicably.
Could it be that she didn't care about such a bag and mobile phone at all? Or maybe she had actually forgotten his number a long time ago.
Tang Jifeng threw down the pen, sat back in the leather chair in a bad mood, and adjusted his tie in a restless mood. The director who was explaining the PPT in front saw his face suddenly change, wondering if he had made a mistake, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Until...
The phone on the table vibrated again.
Tang Jifeng frowned, and when he was about to hang up again, the words "Yezhai" flashing on the screen made him relax.
However, he did not answer it immediately, but let it vibrate several times, as if he was not anxious or impatient.
Mo Tian glanced at it suspiciously, confused. Mr. Tang has been waiting for a call all morning, probably this call! But why didn't he answer it?
Just as Mo Tian was thinking, Tang Jifeng finally grabbed the phone and stood up, "Take a few minutes to rest."
After that, without waiting for others to say anything, he opened the door and strode out of the meeting room and walked towards the company's terrace.
After the phone rang for a full minute, he slowly answered the call. It can be imagined that the little girl was impatient over there.
"Hello."
"...It's me." Ye Lan was indeed getting impatient waiting, but when she heard his voice coming from the other end of the phone, it was just a single word, her heartbeat became a lot more chaotic. She was still not doing her best!
"Yeah.
I know." Tang Jifeng's tone was indifferent, even unfamiliar. Ye Lan felt a little embarrassed.
"I didn't expect that you, who are so forgetful, still remember my number." When Ye Lan was about to ask about the bag and the phone, Tang Jifeng suddenly said.
Ye Lan was stunned, and almost instinctively retorted: "I don't remember. Don't talk nonsense."
As if to make her words sound more convincing, she raised her chin, "I just asked my brother. My brother told me your number."
"Really? Then do you know where your brother is now?"
"At my grandparents." She replied without thinking. The housekeeper just said that they went to pay their respects, didn't they?
Tang Jifeng glanced at his watch, "It's 10:15 now. Your brother just boarded the plane an hour and a half ago. What did he say to you on the plane?"
"..." The lie was exposed mercilessly, and Ye Lan felt extremely embarrassed.
She bit her lip and decided not to go on about this topic, just talking about business, "Are all my things with you?"
"What?"
"My phone. And my bag."
"When did you put it there?" Tang Jifeng pretended to know nothing.
"I might have thrown it on your car when I was drunk last night."
"Really?" Tang Jifeng said lazily: "I drove the car to the company. If you have nothing to do today, come and get it yourself."
"I'm a little busy, you can ask Brother Mo Tian to send it to me, I'll wait for him at home."
"Mo Tian is busier than you." Tang Jifeng added: "I'm in a meeting, hanging up."
No matter what Ye Lan said, he hung up the phone directly.
Ye Lan heard the "beep" sound, bit his lip angrily, full of resentment.
This man! It's really different from before! It's getting more and more annoying!
In the past, he would never take the initiative to hang up her phone, let alone refuse her such a small matter. Even if Mo Tian is really busy, there will always be someone who is not busy in the company. Moreover, according to his previous behavior, even if everyone is busy, he will definitely return the things to her in person.
In short, he will never have such a bad attitude as this moment.
Ye Lan put down the receiver heavily, and rolled on the bed twice in anger, and his heart was still not calm.
"Second Miss, do you want to come down for breakfast or send it to the room?" The housekeeper's voice sounded outside. Ye Lan sat up from the bed, calmed down, and pulled his messy hair. He felt that his anger was unreasonable.
They are no longer the same as before. There is no reason for Tang Jifeng to spoil herself like before.
After all, she is not his person.
"Second Miss?" The housekeeper didn't hear the voice and called again outside.
"Just leave it downstairs, I'll be down soon." Ye Lan responded weakly, climbed down from the bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up. After washing his face, he opened the cupboard and took out all the clothes inside.
It was just the beginning of autumn, and it was quite cold to wear a skirt with bare legs. However, I couldn't care less today.
She tried on clothes one by one - these clothes were left over from a few years ago, fortunately they were all classic styles, and they were not outdated now. Although she had grown a little taller and her breasts had developed a little in the past few years, she had maintained a good figure. The old clothes did not look small on her. Ye Lan looked at herself in the mirror wearing a lake blue dress, and then looked at the pile of clothes on the bed, and suddenly felt that her behavior was quite ridiculous.
Who was she trying to please by dressing so carefully?
Although she was grown up now, she still had that somewhat young face. Compared with those seductive women that Tang Jifeng liked, she was completely different in style.
No matter how much she dressed up, it was useless.
Her mood became much more depressed for a while. She hung the remaining clothes back in the closet - she originally wanted to put on some makeup, but in the end, she just gave up.

An hour later.
The secretary pushed open the door of the conference room and came in, whispering in his ear: "Mr. Tang, Miss Ye Lan is here."
Tang Jifeng's eyes deepened slightly, and he nodded: "Let her wait."
"Okay." The secretary went out.
As a result, after a while, the secretary pushed the door open again.
"Miss Ye said that she had something urgent to do. She wanted to borrow your car keys. I'll return them to you in a while."
Tang Jifeng didn't say anything, and handed the car keys to the secretary directly.
Ye Lan was stunned when she took the car keys. Inexplicably, she felt a little regretful. If she really took the things, it seemed that there was no reason to stay.
