The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 725: The One He Loves

Chi Rui is twenty-seven this year, not exactly young.

The year he met Song Yansheng, he was only sixteen.

Their acquaintance was quite accidental, and one could say they were bonded through adversity, which wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Song Yansheng had a tough time when he was abroad, and Chi Rui was no different.

The difference was that Song Yansheng’s hardships were the result of someone’s deliberate actions.

In contrast, Chi Rui’s were because his parents divorced, each remarrying.

He went abroad with his father, who didn’t treat him well, nor did his stepmother, who was very strict.

As a result, his personality was withdrawn from a young age, not enjoying communication with others.

During those days when Song Yansheng suffered from depression, Qu Yuzuo, as a psychologist, was helping him with treatment.

At that time, Qu Yuzuo had another patient, and that was him.

Chi Rui’s issues were primarily childhood psychological shadows, lacking trust in others; otherwise, he was fine.

Now, because of Song Yansheng, he began to trust some people, had some so-called friends, and was living well, at least living like a normal person.

Yes, like a normal person.

And all of this was given to him by Song Yansheng.

He fully trusted Song Yansheng, with almost no secrets.

So when Song Yansheng decided to return to their country, he resolutely chose to return with him.

Even though T City was actually a completely unfamiliar place to him.

Back then, in this city, aside from Song Yansheng and Yan Ke, he scarcely knew anyone.

But eight years passed, and he had already become Song Yansheng’s most competent and trusted assistant.

But when it came to love, Chi Rui had a bit of a headache.

He really wanted to retort to Song Yansheng, "I’ve known you since I was sixteen, for a full ten years now, haven’t you ever noticed whether I’ve been in love?"

But, after all, Song Yansheng was his boss, and he still didn’t dare to say those words.

Hence, he suppressed his complicated feelings and answered, "At the moment... no one!"

"Well, is there a girl you like?"

Chi Rui’s eyes flickered, and the fingers resting by his sides trembled slightly, as he replied, "No one!"

Song Yansheng sighed, speaking earnestly, "Chi Rui, you are twenty-seven this year, not young anymore. Even if work is busy, you should take time to find someone, start a family in the future, and really settle down in T City!"

Chi Rui’s thin lips twitched, and he nodded slightly, "I understand, Mr. Song!"

Only then did Song Yansheng wave his hand, saying to Chi Rui, "Alright, you can go now. Remember to have the car ready downstairs by four thirty!"

Chi Rui acknowledged and then turned to leave.

As the office door closed, Chi Rui stood at the doorway, lightly pursing his thin lips.

Having been by Song Yansheng’s side for years, he had almost never lied to him.

It was precisely because of this that they had built such a strong sense of trust between them.

But just now, he lied to Song Yansheng.

Not having been in love was true.

However, saying that he didn’t like anyone was a lie.

He liked a woman. For how long now?

Probably for quite a while, starting from the first time he saw her in this city, from the first words he spoke to her...

From the first time she called his name and gave him a faint smile...

He could never forget her since then.

It is a secret buried deep in his heart, known to no one but himself.

He even felt that this secret would remain buried in his heart forever.

Because the person he liked was destined never to belong to him.

Never in this lifetime!
