Bringing Along a Ball and Hiding from Foreign Devils

Chapter 20

Ren Zhouyuan thought that being in the same room with Leonid would make him more or less uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep as soon as he hit the pillow that night. He was so nervous that he didn't wake up until the next morning when he was vaguely awakened by Leonid's voice.

The moment he woke up, Leonid seemed to be talking to someone on the phone. His voice was a little distant, and Ren Zhouyuan listened for a while before he realized that he was in the bathroom.

He stretched himself and sat up from the bed, his eyes unconsciously drifting to the bathroom.

Leonid's tone didn't seem to be talking about something happy. Although he didn't talk much and his voice didn't sound real, Ren Zhouyuan could hear the impatience in his words.

Ren Zhouyuan paused and felt that it wasn't good for him to eavesdrop. He walked out of the bed and was wondering if he should go out and leave, when the door of the bathroom was opened from the inside.

Their eyes met in the air. Ren Zhouyuan was stunned for a moment, and then made a gesture to leave, but Leonid waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

In the small room, there was only a series of sharp voices coming from Leonid's phone.

Ren Zhouyuan felt very embarrassed. He wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but the voice on the phone was so loud that even Leonid frowned and put the phone away.

Judging from the voice, it was a girl with a bad temper. Ren Zhouyuan heard her crying and shouting more than once, but the voice was too vague, and the other party was speaking Russian. Ren Zhouyuan didn't know what they were arguing about.

Ren Zhouyuan suddenly remembered the woman named Na Tasha he saw in the office last time. He heard from Kong Fei that she was Leonid's fiancée. Ren Zhouyuan didn't know why, but his intuition told him that it was her on the other end of the phone.

Leonid didn't care that Ren Zhouyuan was also present, and the person on the phone was indeed Na Tasha.

Since Ren Zhouyuan first appeared in the company, Leonid had told Na Tasha that he had found the person he had been looking for. He would apologize to his parents and only hoped that he and Na Tasha could resolve their engagement peacefully.

When they had first decided to get engaged, Leonid had told Natasha that he had always had someone in his heart, and that he did not want to get engaged or get married. It was only because of a promise he had made with his parents that he had to agree to their request to get engaged.

Na Tasha didn't think much of it at that time. After all, she had never heard of Leonid falling in love with anyone. She secretly guessed that it was Leonid's excuse for refusing to marry her. She also believed that with her charm, one day Leonid would discover her good points and fall in love with her.

But she didn't expect that a year later, the person she thought never existed actually appeared. She didn't know if this was Leonid's excuse to break off the engagement, but no matter if it was true or not, she would not agree to it!

When Na Tasha came to Wei Qi last time, Leonid thought that he had already explained everything to her. He wanted to confess to his family, but Na Tasha said that she would give him some time. Who knew that after so long, not only did Na Tasha not make things clear to his family, but she also went to pick a wedding dress with his parents without his permission. It was as if she was going to get married.

After Leonid learned about this matter, he called his family and briefly explained his situation and the cancellation of the engagement. But he didn't expect that within a few days, Na Tasha knew about it and called him again to make trouble.

Leonid knew that he was in the wrong, so he patiently listened to her crying. But no matter how much Na Tasha cried herself hoarse, he would never give in on this matter.

"I will be loyal to my family, and I also hope that you can find someone who will be loyal to you, but unfortunately, this person will not be me."

Leonid rubbed his temples and said, "Na Tasha, I hope that you will be happy, but if your happiness is based on sacrificing my happiness, then I can only say sorry to you.

I am a selfish person, and I only hope that the person I love can accept the happiness I give him. My heart is very small, and it can't accommodate anyone else except for him. "

Leonid said these words in front of Ren Zhouyuan, not only to express his position to Na Tasha, but also to tell Ren Zhouyuan his attitude towards the engagement.

However, Ren Zhouyuan didn't pay attention to what Leonid said after that. His thoughts had already been pulled away by Leonid's first sentence.

Leonid was just like him, loyal to his family. There were many people who could say these words, but how many of them could carry it out?

But after hearing similar words for several days in a row, Ren Zhouyuan didn't know why, but he believed it.

He lowered his head and clasped his hands together. He didn't even know who Leonid was talking about, but he faintly envied him.

If Leonid knew about the existence of Anan, would he be loyal to him and his son?

At that moment, Ren Zhouyuan even had a trace of malice towards the unknown person. The longing for his family made his heart a little twisted.

Ah, it turned out that he still cared about it.

Ren Zhouyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, shook his head, loosened his clenched fists, got up and walked to the bathroom.

Leonid's eyes followed him until Ren Zhouyuan closed the bathroom door, then he sighed softly.

He was very impatient with Na Tasha on the other side of the phone. No matter what he said, she would only cry. After talking to her for a while, Leonid hung up the phone.

When Ren Zhouyuan came out of the bathroom, his mood had returned to normal. He was a little surprised to see that Leonid was neatly dressed and sitting on the bed as if he was waiting for him.

Leonid saw that Ren Zhouyuan's face was normal, so he was relieved and a little disappointed. He stood up and invited him to have breakfast together, and the two left the room together.

Along the way, the two walked in silence. Both of them had different thoughts, and neither of them spoke for a while.

This situation lasted until the end of breakfast, when Leonid took the initiative to break the silence. "I'm sorry about this morning."

Ren Zhouyuan paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"That's my 'ex-fiancée'. You've seen her in the office last time," Leonid said.

Hearing this, Ren Zhouyuan raised his head and glanced at him, but he only nodded without much reaction.

Leonid was a little confused about what Ren Zhouyuan was thinking. He hoped that Ren Zhouyuan would not misunderstand, but he also hoped that he would show a little bit of concern. So he explained that they quarreled because the two of them broke off the engagement, but Ren Zhouyuan just listened silently from beginning to end, occasionally nodding to show that he heard.

Leonid could not tell Ren Zhouyuan's attitude. He felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was quite harmonious yesterday, so today he took the opportunity to tell Ren Zhouyuan the fact that he was now "single," but Ren Zhouyuan's reaction was flat, almost no reaction at all. Even if he was not interested in him, at least he had his son with him. What was with this indifferent attitude?

For the rest of the day, Ren Zhouyuan was a little dispirited. Even when Leonid took him to see the large equipment, he was not interested. He just faithfully did his job as a temporary interpreter, so Leonid really did not know what to do with him.

The two-day and one-night trip ended quickly. In the afternoon, they checked out and set off on their way back.

Leonid did not want to end the trip inexplicably like this, so finally before they set off, he used a little privilege as a CEO to send everyone else in the car to another car, leaving only him, Ren Zhouyuan, and the driver in the car.

Ren Zhouyuan was absent-minded all the way, so he did not notice this. Soon after the car left, Leonid took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Fortunately, you came with me this time," he joked, "I just realized that without Luo En, I became a useless person in China."

Ren Zhouyuan turned to look at him and replied, "Of course."

Seeing that the conversation was about to be interrupted again, Leonid decided to go all out and said, "Tell me about your son."

This time, Ren Zhouyuan did not keep silent. As Leonid expected, Ren Zhouyuan's face changed as soon as he asked this question.

"My, my son?" Ren Zhouyuan suppressed his voice and tried to make his words sound normal.

"Yes." Leonid pretended not to see his panic and said, "I have a brother, and he also has a son named Anatole. Although the little fatty is very naughty, he is very cute. Their family of three is very happy, and I envy them very much."

Ren Zhouyuan's heart pounded. "Is, is it?" He thought for a moment and said something unimportant, "My son is very clingy."

Leonid originally only wanted to arouse Ren Zhouyuan's interest in talking, but now that he was listening to Ren Zhouyuan talk about Ren Juan, he became interested.

"When I'm at home, he'll stick to me all the time. If I'm at work, he'll sit next door and read quietly or play by himself. As long as I move, he'll come over and tug on my clothes like a little shadow, following me wherever I go."

Thinking of Anan, Ren Zhouyuan's face softened a lot. Leonid listened quietly, imagining the scene at home while listening, and suddenly he was unable to control himself.

He occasionally talked about the little fatty in his brother's house, and Ren Zhouyuan would also say something similar to what Anan had done. Under Leonid's intentional guidance, Ren Zhouyuan unconsciously said a lot.

More than two hours of driving passed in the blink of an eye. When they arrived at the entrance of the company, Ren Zhouyuan suddenly came back to his senses. He was a little annoyed that he wanted to bite off his tongue. He didn't expect that he would say so much unconsciously.

Leonid was a little reluctant to part with Ren Zhouyuan, but the progress of the past two days was much better than he expected. After the car stopped, he stood up first and reached out his right hand to Ren Zhouyuan. "I'm very happy to have your company these two days. I hope that next time I have a chance, I can see your lovely son."

Ren Zhouyuan hurriedly stood up and reached out to shake hands with him. But he couldn't easily accept Leonid's expectation, so he nodded and said, "You're welcome."
