Suspicion

Cecilia replied nonchalantly, "We just met yesterday, did you have lunch?"

Jonas hesitated, then asked, "I've just eaten, and you don't normally like to wear such beautiful clothes."

Cecilia looked at Jonas and smiled, "People always change, you came to my house once."

Jonas replied faintly, "Well, you should go check on your family."

"Thank you so much," Cecilia said cheerfully. "You are so kind. When I get back, I will treat you well."

The two chatted some more, and Cecilia hung up, citing his busy work schedule.

As the thought flashed through Jonas's mind, he became vaguely aware of a man next to Cecilia. Was it her co-workers, or was it something else? Jonas did not know, but Jonas knew that Cecilia's feelings for him were not as good as before, and Jonas was beginning to doubt her.

When Jonas returned to work the next day, he was a little down.

Cayce saw this and quickly asked, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well, Jonas is fine." Jonas hesitated, then said.

Cayce quickly reassured him, "Be careful of your body and don't get too tired."

Jonas had a busy day at the office, and at lunchtime, Cayce went to a restaurant with her.

As Jonas ordered, he murmured, "Cecilia, she comes here often."

"J, what's wrong with you?" Cayce asked curiously.

Jonas replied faintly, "Not a big deal, just a little confused."

Cayce thought blankly, "Why?"

Jonas hesitated for a long moment before looking to Cayce and thinking, "Now that you are our family, I will share my concerns with you."

Jonas shared her confusion with Cayce, who thought for a moment and then asked, "Jonas, what do you think of Cecilia?"

Jonas smiled, "She's a nice girl."

Cayce looked at Jonas and asked, "Have you ever wondered why she hasn't married, if she's so good?"

Jonas froze for a moment before responding, "Maybe his terms are a little harsh."

Cayce smiled thinly, "It's good to have a boyfriend like you."

Jonas looked blank, "Is she sick?"

Cayce immediately replied, "Something must have gone wrong, either with her personality or her brain, and you forgot her horoscope?"

Jonas hesitated, "Her horoscope is strong at best."

Cayce added: "I think it's more than bullying. Cecilia is a willful woman."

Jonas marveled, "Really, so Cecilia has a problem?"

"I'm just saying," Cayce said quickly, "so don't get carried away, you'd better get a chance to figure it out."

Jonas looked dejected: "How can I explain, Cecilia is not here, she has no rejection of me, no intimacy. This is how I was haunted by her."

Cayce looked at Jonas, "Things like love are always complicated and you have to be prepared for them."

Jonas sighed, "Well, I abandoned a woman, and now it's my turn."

Jonas had no interest in working.

Jonas, normally full of vitality, now has no direction of struggle. Cecilia was cold to him and Cayce Si-si was tough to him, making Jonas question his choice.

Chaney had only spoken to Jonas about Cecilia poetry at first, but when Jonas had spoken to her about it, she had never spoken about Cecilia poetry again.

Jonas wasn't sure what Cayce was trying to hide, or what else. Li Mingxia didn't call Jonas until noon.

After chatting with Jonas for more than ten minutes, Li Mingxia told Jonas to rest.

Li Mingxia looked at Jonas, "Jonas, you work so hard, don't get carried away with love."

Jonas saw Li Mingxia's expression and knew what she meant. "Li Mingxia, did you find anything?"

Li Mingxia said quickly, "It's fine, it's fine, just work hard and don't get carried away."

Jonas asked, "Have you heard anything about Cecilia?"

Li Mingxia looked indifferent, "Aren't you her boyfriend?"

Jonas hesitated and looked at Li Mingxia.

Li Mingxia smiled faintly. "Maybe she's busy."

"Maybe." Jonas said glumly.

Li Mingxia came to Jonas's side and tapped him on the shoulder. Then she said to Jonas:"Jonas, you must have courage. A man should face whatever comes his way."

Jonas caught her insinuation and quickly asked, "You must know something, can you tell me?"

Li Mingxia said quickly, "It's okay, you are just imagining things. I have something else to do. You can leave work later. Work hard. From now on, this department is yours."

Jonas looked thoughtfully at Li Mingxia's departing figure. Difficult to say, the situation of liu shi poetry really changed?

Cayce returned to his office and gave Jonas a biscuit. Jonas took one, looked at Cayce and asked, "You're all dressed up these days, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Where do you start with that?" Cayce asked quizzically.

Jonas replied, "Women do it for people they like."

Cayce smiled and said, "I'm not with you, but I like you a lot."

Jonas thought it was obvious that Cayce was going to have sex with her if he continued.

Jonas changed the subject and asked Cayce about Li Mingxia.

"She's nice to us, but I like her better," Cayce said with a smile.

Jonas sighed, "I like Cecilia's poems too, but I'm sorry she's not here."

Cayce tapped Jonas on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, Sister Shi won't leave you."

Jonas said: "I hope so, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

"Yeah, KFC and McDonald's." Cayce said cheerfully.

"You like this?" Jonas said doubtfully.

Cayce had expected this reaction, "Of course not, but you only invited two families."
