37: C37 Brother's Confession

C37 Brother's Confession

The three of them were originally waiting for Ye Zhijie to talk and laugh, but suddenly the smile on Dai Lulu's face froze. Following Dai Lulu's gaze, Zhu Ruiyan's heart was startled.

She saw a tall and beautiful woman and Qin Yizhao walk into the Bafei Banquet in front of them together. That woman was wearing a black mink fur coat with a Chanel bag in her hand. Her thick and light make-up made her look both elegant and beautiful.

When the two of them walked together, the handsome man and woman were a perfect match. It was likely that the woman accidentally stepped on the underlining of the skirt when she went up the stairs. Qin Yizhao even very attentively helped her up. The scene of the two chatting and laughing was especially beautiful.

"What a pity." Dai Lulu, like a rooster who had been defeated, immediately lowered her head and said with a face full of regret, "Such a good man became someone else's."

Zhu Ruiyan did not expect to see such a scene again, but she was even more glad that Qin Yizhao did not notice her. Zhu Ruiyan unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

"You guys have waited a long time, right?" Ye Zhijie had already parked the car and walked over.

"No, let's go in." At this time, Dai Lulu and Lee Shuang were no longer in the mood. Only Zhu Ruiyan still paid attention to Ye Zhijie.

The group of four walked into the restaurant. Zhu Ruiyan had been very careful, afraid that she would be discovered by Qin Yizhao. Fortunately, they did not meet Qin Yizhao in the private room, so Zhu Ruiyan let out a long sigh of relief.

When they reached the private room, Dai Lulu and Lee Shuang were already impatient to order the dishes. They had already decided to turn grief and indignation into food, so they ordered a lot in one breath. Zhu Ruiyan looked at Ye Zhijie apologetically, but Ye Zhijie kept smiling. She wanted everyone to have more.

"Actually, we don't need to order so much. The four of us won't be able to finish eating. Although Ye Zhijie is treating us, don't waste it." Zhu Ruiyan finally couldn't help but say.

"Ruiyan, are you feeling sorry for Ye Zhijie? Don't worry, my appetite today is especially big, I will definitely eat it cleanly." Dai Lulu looked at Zhu Ruiyan with an evil smile and Zhu Ruiyan's face immediately turned red.

"It's okay. As long as everyone is happy, we can order whatever we want." Ye Zhijie quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Zhijie, the women in our letter office are the first choice to lead a family life. They are gentle, virtuous, and thrifty, so we won't waste them." Lee Shuang said with a smile.

"I think so too. The girls in our department are suitable to lead a family life." Ye Zhijie did not forget to secretly glance at Zhu Ruiyan as he spoke.

"But nowadays, beautiful and charming women are more pleasing to men, especially the red lips beauty in mink fur coat and high heels." Dai Lulu's words were filled with jealousy.

Zhu Ruiyan was slightly startled and thought about Dai Lulu's words and could not help but feel a little sad. External things were indeed more attractive to men. Even if there was something good inside, it would be vulnerable in front of all the problems in reality. For men, women were just a tool, or rather, a foil.

After a while, the waiter brought a lot of dishes. Dai Lulu and Lee Shuang's appetite was really big. In a while, they had already used up more than half of the food. Ye Zhijie would bring food for Zhu Ruiyan from time to time and Zhu Ruiyan would very politely accept it.

In a short while, Dai Lulu and Lee Shuang had almost finished eating. The two of them touched their stomachs in satisfaction. Dai Lulu's phone suddenly vibrated. She said apologetically, "Division Head Xue asked me to go back now. There is a document that needs to be sorted out. You can continue eating."

Just as Dai Lulu was about to get up, Lee Shuang suddenly pulled her. "Are you talking about the document from yesterday? A portion of it is part of my participation. I will go back with you first. "

Dai Lulu and Lee Shuang left the room together, leaving only Zhu Ruiyan and Ye Zhijie in the entire room. Ye Zhijie smiled and said, "Ruiyan, have you finished eating?"

Zhu Ruiyan smiled and nodded. "I am very full. Thank you." Zhu Ruiyan paused for a moment and continued, "I just noticed that there were a lot of cars parked outside. It must be very delicious at home. That's why so many people came to eat."

"Yes. Other than the taste of the food, the environment here is also first-rate. Why don't we go out and walk around before going back?"

Zhu Ruiyan looked at the watch on her wrist. It was still early and she had the habit of taking a walk after she had eaten her fill, so she left the room with Ye Zhijie.

Ye Zhijie brought her to the place where they had parked the car just now. There was a pavilion not far away. Ye Zhijie suggested going in to take a seat, but the stairs were a little high, so Ye Zhijie held Zhu Ruiyan's hand and climbed up the stairs.

Zhu Ruiyan looked at Ye Zhijie with some embarrassment, but because she had always treated him as her younger brother, she did not hesitate. Zhu Ruiyan only smiled and said thank you.

However, Qin Yizhao, who was standing in the room, saw all of this. The glass of the room was specially made for grinding. From the inside, one could clearly see what was happening outside, but from the outside, it looked like there was a thick layer of glass.

Qin Yizhao's eyes became sharp. He did not expect to meet Zhu Ruiyan here, but this woman actually signed with another man.

Zhu Ruiyan took a deep breath and smiled at Ye Zhijie. "This place is really not bad. The air is fresh and the scenery is very pleasant."

"If you like it here, we can come here often." Seeing Zhu Ruiyan smiling, Ye Zhijie was also very happy in his heart.

"Forget it. I think the expenses here are not low. But if you like it here, I'll pay you back after I return your money. I'll try my best to save money and treat you to a meal here. " Zhu Ruiyan was not a person who liked to waste money. She calculated that she would be able to return Ye Zhijie his salary this month.

"Ruiyan, I think you have worked too hard." Ye Zhijie suddenly looked at Zhu Ruiyan with a serious face. His eyes were full of love. "I want to take care of you. Can you give me this chance?"1

Zhu Ruiyan was suddenly shocked. Ye Zhijie just said he wanted to take care of her. She was a little confused. After a while, she reacted and pretended to be calm. She said, "If you are willing to take care of my sister, shouldn't I feel very happy?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Ye Zhijie's eyes. He continued, "Ruiyan, why can't it be the care between men and women?"

Zhu Ruiyan saw Ye Zhijie's eyes were full of desire and sincerity. She knew it was not a joke. But the atmosphere became a little awkward. Zhu Ruiyan squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "But the truth is that you are my younger brother. If you are not willing to be my younger brother, then I will be your younger sister in the next life."

Ye Zhijie felt very uncomfortable, but he was also grateful that Zhu Ruiyan did not reject him face to face. Instead, she cleverly gave him a way out.

Ye Zhijie was originally willing to wait for Zhu Ruiyan, but he realized that if he did not say something now, he would definitely regret it in the future. So he urgently wanted to let Zhu Ruiyan know his feelings.

Ye Zhijie excitedly grabbed Zhu Ruiyan's hand, "Ruiyan, I am serious about you. I am not joking. I am not that kind of irresponsible person. I hope I can keep you company."

Zhu Ruiyan had already avoided Ye Zhijie's topic, but she did not expect him to make it clear. Zhu Ruiyan could not avoid this question anymore and could only face it directly, but she did not know how to answer it.

Ye Zhijie slowly approached Zhu Ruiyan. His breath was getting closer and closer to Zhu Ruiyan. Ye Zhijie's eyes were filled with endless tenderness. He gently whispered, "Ruiyan, I like you. I have always liked you."

Zhu Ruiyan's entire body could not help but tremble. She did not think that Ye Zhijie had always been good to her because he liked her. Zhu Ruiyan did not want to hurt Ye Zhijie, but she could not refuse him. Because that would hurt him.

However, there were some things that she did not want to say clearly. In the end, it would hurt her even more, so Zhu Ruiyan still said with some difficulty, "Zhijie, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my younger brother. The two of us are not suitable. You will definitely meet a girl who is thousands of times better than me. Sorry. "

Ye Zhijie unconsciously frowned. He said with a sad face, "Ruiyan, you are not willing to accept me because you still have that person in your heart?"

Zhu Ruiyan quickly shook her head. Zhang Shuai had long become a thing of the past in her heart. Ye Zhijie frowned even more tightly. Zhu Ruiyan continued, "I cannot accept a man younger than me."

"Just because I am younger than you?" Ye Zhijie still could not accept this reason.

Zhu Ruiyan nodded silently. Her heart was full of apologies, but she did not know where to start. Ye Zhijie was somewhat anxious. He could not bear to let go of this woman in front of him. So he grabbed Zhu Ruiyan's shoulder with force and pressed his lips down heavily.

Zhu Ruiyan subconsciously struggled to push Ye Zhijie away. Zhu Ruiyan said apologetically, "Sorry, please don't be like this."

Zhu Ruiyan did not think that Ye Zhijie, who had always been gentle and refined, would suddenly be angry and do what he did just now. However, Ye Zhijie seemed to know that he had lost control of himself. So her lips left Zhu Ruiyan's, but her grip on Zhu Ruiyan became tighter and tighter. It even made Zhu Ruiyan feel some pain.

"Do you hate me?" Ye Zhijie looked at Zhu Ruiyan apologetically. Zhu Ruiyan was speechless and did not know how to answer.

Ye Zhijie looked at Zhu Ruiyan's troubled look and felt his heart ache. He suddenly smiled and let go of Zhu Ruiyan. He felt an incomparable coldness in his heart, as if this coldness was about to devour him. Ye Zhijie took a deep breath and said, "Ruiyan, can we still be friends like before?"

Zhu Ruiyan did not want to hurt Ye Zhijie in her heart. Perhaps this was the best result for them. So Zhu Ruiyan nodded lightly. "Of course, if you are still willing to be friends with me."

How could Ye Zhijie be willing? Friends were not the result he wanted. However, forcing Zhu Ruiyan to do it would not result in any result. Instead, it would make the distance between them grow further and further. They could not even be friends.

"I am sorry about what happened just now. It was my fault."
