double burial

Chapter 20

The plane had been on the tarmac for four hours. There were many reasons for air traffic control, and the passengers on the plane were also prohibited from going down, ready to take off again at any time.

The notebook on her lap finished its work, and it was gently closed by Xiao Xinran. She moved her wrist slightly, with a tired look on her brow, and turned her head to look at the person beside her.

The woman sat beside her, dressed in a rare professional suit, temporarily acting as her secretary.After waiting for a long time, she was not annoyed, and swipe the tablet to browse the news very leisurely.

The slender finger swiped across the screen, another page was turned over, and a large high-definition picture appeared in the center of the field of vision.In the picture, Xiao Xinran was walking in the airport hall with a dignified posture, followed by the respectful Zhong Lu.Probably a picture that was taken when I came here, but looking at it now, it seems like a lifetime away.

With a swipe of her eyes, the woman met Xiao Xinran's glance, but suddenly noticed the thin and dense cold sweat on her forehead.

The long time of bumping and sitting upright has made her seriously injured a little bit too much.The woman sat up straight, put the tablet aside, put a hand on her shoulder lightly, and turned her body a little.

"The wound hurts badly? Yan Xun prepared oral painkillers, and I'll bring them to you."

Xiao Xinran felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze, she lowered her eyes and said, "No need."

For the painkillers and anesthetics that she is dependent on, she has always been very self-controlled, and she will not use it if she can.

The woman looked at her thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear, charmingly, "Either... I'll hug you for a while?"

Xiao Xinran turned her head in surprise, the woman's exquisite face was so close to her, it almost touched her face.Ruoyuuowu's fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, and his heart suddenly trembled violently.Subconsciously retreated two feet, keeping a distance from the woman, exuding a pretentiously cold aura, his eyes were like ice and snow, but his cheeks were stained with an untimely cherry color.

The woman looked at the lovely rosiness on her pale cheeks with a half-smile, but said lightly: "Don't forget it." Then she leaned back on the seat and returned to her indifferent and speechless appearance.

The first-class cabin they were in was isolated separately. Although the cabin was small, it was a rare private space after all.The woman casually picked up the tablet computer that was placed aside, and just about to open it, a soft and cold body shrank into her arms.

The woman let out a sigh, then put the tablet aside again, reached out to embrace her, found a comfortable position for her, and let her lean in her arms.The body that had been stiff for a long time was finally stretched, and Xiao Xinran's brows that had been gently twitching were also relaxed a little, so she closed her eyes comfortably in the woman's arms, and closed her eyes to rest her mind.The woman looked down at her with a smile on her lips, as if she was extremely happy.

"Is it comfortable?" The woman moved her fingers and poked her soft body lightly.

"People are softer than seats, so they are naturally comfortable." Xiao Xinran said calmly, not even bothering to open her eyes.

"Then sleep for a while, you barely slept last night."

"Didn't you sleep? How did you have a dream?" Perhaps the woman's embrace was indeed too comfortable, and her voice softened, "And it was a very long dream."

"What did you dream about?" The woman was a little surprised at her sudden mention of such an illusory thing, but she couldn't understand her intentions, so she asked.

"I dreamed about the past. It was a very real dream." She pursed her lips and whispered.Her voice was originally cold, clear and pleasant to hear, but now it is as light as a fairy voice from heaven, like looking at flowers through the fog, making the listener immersed in the indistinct emptiness, as if this moment is just a dream like a bubble , The sound stopped, and the dream woke up.

The woman listened in silence without saying a word.She opened her eyes, fixed her eyes on one point at will, and said sadly: "I can't live for five years, and sometimes I always have to count the days. It's really tiring to do infinite things with limited time."

"What are you talking about?" The woman froze, staring at her in disbelief, and her tone became subconsciously cold.Xiao Xinran seemed to have expected her reaction, raised her eyes slightly to meet her gaze, and said calmly: "I'm talking about the dream from last night. If you don't want to hear it, I just don't want to talk about it."

The woman was silent for a while, and her voice returned to calm: "Keep talking, I'm listening."

"Dream is a parallel time and space. I hope that in the dream, I can live more easily, but I can't do it after all. After all, it's all about the previous generation. Why should such a heavy burden fall on the younger generation?" There seemed to be anger in her tone, and her beautiful eyes were full of exhaustion.The woman looked at her quietly, but couldn't help empathizing with her bitterness.She's always had a knack for that.

"Qinrong is a family business passed down from generation to generation. I have been with my grandfather since I was a child, and watched him devote his whole life to Qinrong, and finally died for Qinrong. I can't let it be destroyed in my hands, nor It will not be ruined by anyone."

"Qin Rong has always been a leader in the business world, and now that the business has returned to the right path, it is even more expected. It will not be destroyed." The woman said firmly, although it was comforting, it made people subconsciously believe her words.

"It will. If someone wants to destroy it, he will also destroy me, the Xiao family, and let us all be buried with her hatred. Every president of Qinrong can't live for five years. Grandpa committed suicide five years ago …When he died, I could almost see what would happen to me five years later. He didn’t want to die, he hadn’t done what he was supposed to do, and he hadn’t wiped away the sin he had planted… "Xiao Xinran's eyes were a little confused. I'm afraid that at a certain moment, even she herself couldn't tell whether this was telling a dream or reality.

"Uncle Xiao has passed away for five years, but you are still alive—" the woman blurted out a sentence, but stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.It seems that there are some doubts that have been puzzling for many years, and they have an epiphany at this moment.

"So, you allowed Xiao Kui to seize the throne, and won five more years of life for yourself?" The woman's voice became a little cold.

"Yes." Xiao Xinran admitted generously, but there was a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was waiting for a woman to scold her, scold her for being greedy for life and afraid of death, scolding her for being selfish.

But the woman fell into silence, and the hand holding her was still gentle.After a while, the woman embraced her in her arms, and asked softly, "Five years, isn't it enough for you to clean up your accumulated evils and exchange for a lifetime of peace?"

As long as a woman is willing to understand, she can always understand the intention behind the decisions she makes.

Xiao Xinran heard the words, and turned the mocking smile on the corner of her mouth into a soft smile that could melt a glacier: "Yes."

But this beautiful smile lasted even shorter than a flash in the pan.Xiao Xinran raised her eyes, looked at the woman with a look full of melancholy, and sighed, "But now, I can't regret it."

"It's me that made you regret it?"

Xiao Xinran nodded.

The way the woman looked at her became complicated.Once, she promised that she would taste the taste of regret, but now it has come true.

"Ever since you were fed Qi Fan by Cang Yun, I started to hate myself, why didn't I end all this sooner. I regret it, but I never doubted my original choice, because if I didn't have these five years of preparation, I wouldn't have I have the current victory. If I don’t make a move, I can secretly chase back Qi Fan, contain Cang Yun and Xiao Kui, and minimize the damage. Once I make a move, if I fail, I will lose everything, and the situation will be completely out of my control .I can make a huge gamble with an investment case of over [-] million yuan, and I can also make a judgment with an unreasonable intuition, but this is the only thing I dare not take risks, because the price is too heavy and I can’t afford it. I can only wait until everything is ready. Even though the waiting process is long and painful, fortunately, most of the pain can be borne by me alone."

This seemed to be the first time she had explained what she had done so bluntly.In the past, her mind was hidden the deepest, and she always believed that her decision-making did not need others to understand, and her subordinates were also used to it, and only her orders were obeyed.But in front of women, she is willing to spend more time talking, only hoping that the misunderstanding like before will never happen again.

The woman looked down at her, and this young leader made her sigh more than once.With such a resolute state of mind and such profound resourcefulness, she hardly dared to imagine how this woman in her twenties survived every step of the way, and how she honed herself in the shadow of blades and swords to become unshakable. exist.

How much hardship she has suffered and how many injuries she has suffered are unimaginable.The more glamorous the appearance, the more blood dripping from the back, which is a common feature of all geniuses.

The woman remained silent, Xiao Xinran didn't speak anymore after explaining, as if she was tired, she closed her eyes in the woman's arms.

5 minutes... 10 minutes... The person in his arms didn't say a word, and seemed to have fallen asleep.Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent due to her unhealed injuries.The cold sweat that was caused by the pain has gradually subsided, but the skin has become crystal clear due to the washing of sweat, like a fine pearl, with a soft luster.The woman looked at her quietly, the glaciers accumulated for thousands of years in her eyes gradually melted, and then replaced by gentleness.Xiao Xinran pursed her lips indiscriminately at this moment, but this subtle movement became a sharp weapon to break down the woman's defenses, luring the woman to bend down and hug her cold and smooth lips.

This is not the first time a woman has kissed her, but it is the first time that the kiss has moved her true feelings.She, a killer, must be crazy to indulge her emotions like this, but it's only this once in her life, so it probably doesn't matter.

The moment her lips touched, she closed her eyes, but Xiao Xinran suddenly opened them.Two lines of hot tears flowed slowly from the corners of her eyes, she didn't break free immediately, but let the woman suck the kiss as tenderly as she could, and responded reluctantly with a candid attitude.

A few seconds are as long as centuries, the woman can easily feel her sinking, and also feel her not daring to sink, so when she is eager to turn her head away and end the deep kiss, the woman is not surprised.Her eyebrows were tightly frowned, as if she wanted to restrain all her emotions, and she couldn't show them at all.The tear stains at the corners of the eyes were not very obvious, but they still hurt the woman's eyes like sharp knives.

Xiao Xinran grabbed the armrest beside her and managed to escape from the woman's embrace.The feeling of physical contact suddenly disappeared, and both of them felt empty.The woman didn't stop her, even helped her slightly, but frowned unhappily and looked at her without saying a word.

She stood up straight, looked down at the woman, and returned to the coldness and inhumanity of the past, and said indifferently: "What I just said is just nonsense, you don't have to take it to heart. I will arrange for you to take the antidote when you go back." , go do your thing after recovering, don’t follow me anymore.”

The woman's eyebrows frowned even deeper: "My business? Please tell Mr. Xiao, what's my business?"

Xiao Xinran looked at her calmly, and said out the words that had been contemplated for a long time in her heart: "No matter what you have, our employment relationship ends here. I will make another arrangement for your residence, and the commission will be paid to you within a week." On the account, if you have other requirements, tell Yan Xun, and he will arrange it for you."

The woman looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled.Different from narrow sneers or sarcastic ridicules, the warm smile on her ice-carved face almost made people stunned: "The employment relationship is over, so what about other relationships? Can we start?" gone?"

Before Xiao Xinran could respond, the phone rang at the right time.The woman turned her head to look out of the window in dissatisfaction, Xiao Xinran picked up the phone, and there was a male voice shaking uncontrollably: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xue... he's gone!"

"What?!" Xiao Xinran's voice suddenly became sharper. She panicked for a moment, and she immediately made a decision: "Go to the bank immediately and distribute the money injected into Xue's into my personal account."

"Mr. Xiao... it's too late, someone has reported Xue's illegal fundraising, and his account... has been frozen..."

The author has something to say: So, the "waiting" mentioned in Chapter Eighteen, do you understand what Sister Xiao Yu is waiting for? The content of Chapter 1 corresponds to the end of Xiao Kui's five-year agreement and the beginning of Xiao Yu's five-year tenure.

From the next dawn, everything will be different.
