“No, thank you.” Kerry Ye withdrew his gaze and walked towards his car. Since it’s not her, knowing more would bring more sadness.
The car went eastward and stopped at the beach.
Yan Chu walked up the cliff and when she reached the edge, she kneeled down.
“I’m here, brother.”
…
Just as Henry He expected, Kerry couldn’t fall asleep tonight, although he knew that tomorrow had an important meeting. The deepest memories all came to him, which were painful, torturing him.
“Venus, where the hell were you? How are you doing? How’s the baby? A daughter or a son? Is it safe? Does he look more like you or me? Is he a good boy?”
Kerry always believed that Venus was still alive, whose intuition told him that she must be living peacefully somewhere of the world. She just didn’t want to forgive him, so she never came back.
Only by thinking in this way, he could keep living.
The sun was about to come out, while Kerry rubbed his sore eyes, struggling to get up. He was going to meet the young lady of MK, Yan Chu.
He hoped that she’s a smart woman and wouldn’t make any mess.
At ten o’clock, Kerry and a few vice presidents were standing in front of the company waiting for her. Then a car slowly drove in, which was familiar to Kerry.
The car stopped in front of Kerry, one of the vice presidents opened the door.
Only to see silver high-heeled shoes stretch out first, followed by slim white calves, then a woman in a white waist-length knee-length skirt came out of the car, with long hairs to her shoulders.
Kerry was stunned when he saw her face, but quickly returned to normal.
Yan Chu also seemed surprised to see him, with joy in her eyes, “Nice to see you again.”
Kerry had a polite smile on his face and extended his hand, “Hello, glad to see you. I’m Kerry.”
Yan Chu placed her hand into his large hand, “Hello, I’m Yan Chu. What a coincidence.”
As soon as Kerry shook her hand, that familiar feeling came back to him again. Her hand…
Venus was a costume designer and because of holding a pencil for years, her index and middle fingers had some calluses, but her hands were so soft, like a shelled egg, so why did Kerry still feel familiar?
“Do you two know each other?” The Hong Kong company representative came over and asked in surprise.
Kerry loosened her hand, explaining, “I happened to meet her yesterday.”
“That’s right. Mr. Ye also did me a favor.” Yan Chu said with a smile.
“You’re welcome. It’s not a big deal. Miss Chu*, please.” Kerry made gesture to invite her in.
Yan Chu smiled at him and said, “Thanks, Mr. Ye.”
The elevator was large, but it also seemed a bit crowded with so many people flooding in at once.
Kerry looked down at Yan Chu, whose skin was white and pink, and her long eyelashes blinked, like the wings of a butterfly.
Suddenly he remembered once that Venus and he were in the elevator and he blocked her in this corner, fiercely kissing her. if she hadn’t resisted, he might have done with her in the elevator that time. Then he did that in the office, making Venus unable to get off the bed the whole afternoon.
In such a small space, Kerry gradually ached, but he forced himself to drive out those evil thoughts. It had been a long time since a woman could so easily arouse his interest. He now could only miss Venus in this way.
Kerry averted his gaze from Yan Chu’s face before she loosened her clenched fist. It was so close that she’s afraid that he might find something.
“Ding!” The elevator stopped, and Yan Chu relieved.
The group of people came to the conference room and began to discuss the thing that had been set in advance.
Yan Chu pretended to listen very carefully. After all, she was a layman, but after listening for a while, she lost interest and started drawing on the planning book with the pen in her hand.
The representatives of MK company, Shixuan Tang and Kerry seemed to be proceeding very smoothly, so she just had to listen, for she couldn’t make any decision anyway.
“Miss Chu, do you have any opinion?” Kerry saw her was absent-minded, so he asked her a question.
Yan Chu was dumbfounded, what were they talking about?
With a cough, she said, “Well, I don’t have any opinion. Just let me know you guys decision.”
Kerry nodded politely and continued his discussion with Shixuan.
Two hours later, there was a break.
“Has Miss Chu studied in Europe?”
“Yeah, I went to Europe after graduating from high school. I originally studied economics, but I didn’t like it, so I began to study design.” Yan Chu said this with some lost, “I didn’t think that in the end, my father showed up and scolded me, saying that design is to make clothes for people, and wanted me to turn back to study economics, but the school didn’t allow me to do so, so I was very happy to finish my junior and senior year in college.”
Kerry was a little disappointed after hearing her words…
The dishes were served one by one, and Kerry started to toast, “Today let’s welcome Miss Chu. I personally wish her to have a happy time in City A, and of course, I hope MK and Yehuang can work well together.”
Yan Chu took the glass in her hand, “Thank you for the hospitality of Mr. Ye and everyone. It’s been a busy day today and thank you, guys. This amusement park project will depend on everyone here in the future. Let me toast you.”
“Thank you, Miss Chu.”
Yan Chu knew what she was like after getting drunk, so she only took a sip of the wine and then quickly took a large sip of yogurt.
The atmosphere quickly warmed up, and everyone was familiar with each other after being in contact for several days, with less rustiness and awkwardness.
“Miss Chu, let me toast to you and I hope we can work well together.” Kerry raised his glass and said at her.
With a wry smile, Yan Chu held the yogurt in her hand and smiled, “Mr. Ye, I’m wondering whether it’s okay for me to drink yogurt.”
Looking into her eyes, Kerry couldn’t say no, “Of course.”
“Thank you.”
Many people came to toast and Yan Chu was drinking yogurt. She was the boss and a beauty, so naturally no one dared to persuade her to drink. Instead, it was Kerry who drank a lot.
“Does Miss Chu have a place to settle down?”
“Hotel for now. The newly bought apartment is being decorated, and it will take a few more days before I can move in.”
Kerry nodded, “If Miss Chu needs anything, just tell me. I will help you as long as I can.”
“Thank you so much.”
Kerry smelled her, who was with good milk fragrance. Maybe because of the wine, Kerry suddenly felt that she was Venus, for a moment, he actually wanted to hug her.
He felt that he was about to go crazy…
