Chapter 62 My first woman, just like that, is gone!
Back at his workstation, Chen Mo, who was not sick, put the medicine directly into the drawer. Just as he was about to start working, he heard several colleagues whispering among themselves.
"Is Lin Wei really leaving?"
"Yes, I just came from HR and saw her going through the resignation process with my own eyes."
"This is so sudden! There was no warning at all."
"I heard it's because of Team Leader Chen..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, Team Leader Chen is back."
The discussion abruptly ceased.
Several colleagues glanced at Chen Mo furtively, then quickly lowered their heads and pretended to work.
Chen Mo acted as if he hadn't heard, expressionlessly turned on his computer, and began processing emails.
But I had no interest in it.
Is it because of what happened between the two of them last night that they're afraid of feeling awkward seeing each other, which is why they want to resign so quickly?
It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
Around 4 PM, Chen Mo saw Lin Wei carrying a cardboard box and walking from the other end of the corridor.
The cardboard box contained her personal belongings.
A water cup, a few books, a small potted plant, and some other odds and ends.
Lin Wei was dressed simply today, in a white shirt and jeans, with her hair casually draped over her shoulders and light makeup on her face. She looked quite energetic.
She walked very fast, and as she passed Chen Mo, she lowered her head slightly, as if deliberately avoiding his gaze.
Chen Mo watched her walk past him without stopping or even glancing at him.
He took a deep breath, put down the mouse, and stood up.
"Chen Mo."
Wang Qing, who was standing next to him, looked at him with suspicion and whispered a reminder: "If you go to see her off now, it will confirm everyone's rumors."
Chen Mo didn't say anything, but quickly walked out of his workstation and chased after Lin Wei in the direction she had left.
A murmur of surprise rippled through the office.
Everyone stared at Chen Mo's retreating figure, their eyes filled with gossip and curiosity.
Elevator lobby.
Lin Wei stood in front of the elevator, looking at the numbers flashing on the screen, but she wasn't as calm as she had seemed earlier.
Especially when passing by Chen Mo.
The cardboard box in her hands wasn't heavy, but her arms felt sore.
"Lin Wei".
Chen Mo's voice came from behind.
"..."
Lin Wei stiffened and slowly turned around.
Chen Mo walked up to her, and the two stood a step apart, neither of them getting any closer.
"I send you."
Chen Mo said, "Give me the box."
Lin Wei looked at him, wanting to say something, but simply nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."
The elevator doors opened.
Chen Mo, carrying the box, pressed the button for the first floor.
In the cramped space, the air seemed to freeze.
No one spoke; they simply watched the numbers flashing on the elevator screen.
The journey from the 12th floor to the 1st floor took only a few dozen seconds, but for Lin Wei it felt like an eternity.
The two walked out of the office building side by side; the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling.
Lin squinted, adjusting her eyes to the light, before saying softly, "I'll leave you here. I'll take a taxi myself."
Chen Mo stopped and looked at her, saying seriously, "Lin Wei, let's talk."
"What are you talking about?"
Lin Wei turned around to face him, a faint smile on her face, and asked casually, "About last night?"
Chen Mo was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Mm."
"Chen Mo, don't feel guilty."
Lin Wei's smile was very calm.
She said, "What happened last night was voluntary; let's just say it was an impulsive act while we were drunk."
"..." Chen Mo.
"I don't want you to take responsibility, really."
"but……"
"There are no buts."
Lin Wei interrupted him, saying calmly, "I'm not a very sentimental person. Liking something and living life are two different things."
Chen Mo: "Lin Wei, I..."
"Let me finish."
Lin Wei took a deep breath and continued, "Chen Mo, I'm an adult now. I know what I want and what I don't want."
I know that you don't seem to like me the way I like you.
Or perhaps you currently prefer the freedom of being alone!
Given my personality, as long as I'm still by your side, our relationship will definitely have a clear outcome.
If you try to be with me out of guilt or a desire to take responsibility for me, I won't accept it.
Rather than doing that, I'd rather leave early on my own initiative to avoid putting both of us in a difficult position.
I need to calm down and think things through.
As for what happened last night, let's leave it in the past.
Let's just treat this as a dream. When we wake up, everything will be just as it was before.
Chen Mo: "..."
Wow, I didn't know you could do that.
What is this?
One-night stand?
Or is it a parting gift between friends?
Chen Mo looked at her, suddenly unsure of what to say.
I originally intended to comfort her, but now I feel...
Do I feel like the one being comforted?
It has to be said that Lin Wei today is somewhat different from the Lin Wei he knew.
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I can work hard with you and help you achieve your dream."
"This is my dream, not yours."
Lin Wei shook her head and said, "Chen Mo, I do like you, but I don't want to wrong myself."
"All right."
Chen Mo said with a helpless expression, "I understand, and I don't want to try to persuade you anymore."
But I still want to say, no matter what you think, I consider you my woman.
If you get tired, come back. I believe I can help you achieve your dreams in the future.
"Okay, I got it. Goodbye."
Lin Wei stepped forward and hugged Chen Mo, waved with a smile, and then turned around to hail a taxi.
Before getting into the car, she looked back at Chen Mo one last time with a complicated expression, and then closed the car door.
His silhouette exudes a sense of freedom and ease.
Soon the taxi slowly drove into the traffic and disappeared from Chen Mo's sight.
He stood there, his feelings a bit complicated.
There's no doubt that Lin Wei likes him.
But she wanted to realize her dream through her own efforts.
I don't want to tie Chen Mo's life to what happened last night.
Sigh, what a stubborn and strong-willed woman!
only……
My first woman is gone!
They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.
……
13th floor, manager's office.
Shen Qingyue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, her gaze fixed on the lonely figure downstairs.
She happened to see the whole thing.
The coffee had gone cold, but she didn't drink a drop.
The assistant pushed open the door and saw Shen Qingyue standing by the window. She cautiously asked, "Ms. Shen, I've prepared the report you requested. Would you like to see it now?"
"Put it on the table." Shen Qingyue said without turning her head.
The assistant placed the documents on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Shen, are you alright?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me?"
Shen Qingyue turned around, walked behind her desk and sat down, her expression returning to its usual calm and indifference.
"Get out, and close the door behind you."
"OK."
After her assistant left, Shen Qingyue picked up the documents on the table, but couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.
What keeps replaying in my mind is the scene downstairs just now.
Lin Wei resigned.
This was unexpected for her.
This left her with a complex mix of emotions that she couldn't quite describe.
She didn't know why Lin Wei made that choice.
Is it because you don't want to put Chen Mo in a difficult position?
Or is there really something between them?
If not, wouldn't that make Chen Mo misunderstand that Lin Wei's resignation was related to her?
Would you think she drove Lin Wei away?
Will I... blame her?
Shen Qingyue leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and rubbed her throbbing temples.
"No, why should I care about this!"
She muttered something to herself, then picked up the phone and called her best friend, Cai Yanyan.
"Feed".
Over the phone, Cai Yanyan teased, "My beautiful Shen, what brings you here today to call me?"
Let's have dinner together tonight.
"what?"
Cai Yanyan laughed, "You just kicked me out of your house yesterday, and you're already regretting it today? I just..."
"stop."
Shen Qingyue interrupted helplessly, "Just tell me if you have time to come or not."
Yes, yes, darling.
Cai Yanyan said with a coquettish smile, "As long as you summon me, even if I'm doing something important in bed one day, I'll leave the other person behind and come keep you company."
"..." Shen Qingyue.
