Crossing the line

Chapter 2: Can't Chase

Uncle Deng immediately thought of Yun Yuwan.

Yes, this necklace really suits Miss Yun’s temperament.

She is elegant and not vulgar, which suits Miss Yun very well.

He praised: "The design is quite unique and very suitable for that person."

The butler Yu was also surprised to know about it. The assistant smiled and said, "Of course, it was specially bought by Director Wen from abroad. It won the first prize in this year's American Jewelers Association design competition. There were so many people who wanted to bid for this necklace that Director Wen raised the bid by nearly twenty times the original price before he won it."

Uncle Deng recalled the scene in the stairwell.

The hug after the blind date was most likely because Mr. Xiao Wen noticed that Miss Yun was uneasy, so he tried to comfort her without caring about being discovered by others.

Even if the guests just left not long ago.

With such thoughtfulness towards her, a necklace is probably nothing.

All those jokes that were out of line during breakfast suddenly seemed reasonable.

Uncle Deng really didn't expect it to turn out this way: "Mr. Xiao Wen is really thoughtful."

The assistant replied as a matter of course: "Of course, the person who will wear the necklace deserves it."

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." Uncle Deng was very emotional, "It hasn't been long since he returned to China."

Mr. Xiao Wen must like Miss Yun very much, which is why he announced his return just a few days later.

"Yes, that person has only been back for a few days."

The assistant smiled calmly. It seemed that the housekeeper really knew: "But everyone will watch the dinner, so it is better to prepare early. This time, Director Wen brought this female companion, which is equivalent to announcing some important information to everyone."

"Of course, it's better to be cautious about this kind of thing." Uncle Deng took the jewelry box and said, "Please trouble Assistant Zheng to deliver it."

The other party smiled gently: "This necklace is very important, please keep it for Uncle Deng."

Uncle Deng smiled and said, "Of course."

Yun Yuwan was upstairs watching Uncle Deng take the necklace and couldn't help but feel nervous.

To the lady that Wen Yangzhi is interested in.

She couldn't think of anyone else except herself.

There is no other opposite sex around Wen Yangzhi, not to mention that he sent a love letter, and his meaning is so clear.

…Is it for her?

Her heart couldn't help but leap for joy.

It had only been five or six days since Wen Yangzhi sent her the love letter.

He was actually preparing to make it public.

She had never expected that he would be so decisive and ready to make it public right after a hug.

Quite domineering.

In the past, I always saw people making memes about domineering president literature on the Internet, but I didn’t expect to see this side of him in Wen Yangzhi.

But this kind of autocratic behavior is likable, and Yun Yuwan couldn't help but think more about it.

Then he shouldn't care about what happened yesterday, right?
But has he told Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen about this? What if Uncle and Aunt Wen get angry if he does it first and asks them later?
Uncle Deng noticed Yun Yuwan and said respectfully, "You're awake. Do you want to ask Aunt Wang to heat up breakfast?"

Yun Yuwan was called back to her senses by him and quickly said, "Don't bother, I'm not very hungry."

Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the jewelry box.

Uncle Deng noticed it and immediately said with a smile, "It's the emerald necklace that Mr. Xiao Wen just bought. Would you like to see it?"

Yun Yuwan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the temptation and went downstairs to take the jewelry box.

She opened it gently.

The brilliance leaked out in an instant.

Looking closer, it is even more dazzling. The necklace is in the shape of a bunch of tuberose petals, which seem to be blooming and revealing, and is stunningly beautiful.

The flower language that reminded her of tuberose is "dangerously happy".

Because tuberose has a strong fragrance, it is generally not placed indoors, otherwise the ambiguous aroma will make it difficult for people to breathe.

While lingering, he demanded his life.

It is a very ambiguous image and would never be given to unimportant people. Most of the time it is given to ambiguous objects.

The crystal clear Colombian emerald makes this ambiguity even more obvious.

She couldn't help but think that Wen Yangzhi had nothing to do with this kind of thing.

But once he gets involved in love, he becomes even more charming.

It makes people want to go to him.

Uncle Deng reminded her: "I prepared two more river lanterns for you, as you mentioned last night."

She looked up in surprise: "Not very appropriate, right?"

After all, it was the Wen family who lit lanterns and prayed for blessings.

Uncle Deng smiled and said, "I understand that you are concerned about your parents. After all, everyone is a child. I was relieved last night."

"Thank you, Uncle Deng." Yun Yuwan couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

When she came back this time, everyone's attitude towards her changed a lot. I wonder if it has something to do with Wen Yangzhi.

The housekeeper rejected her yesterday, but today he wavered in his principles for her.

Uncle Deng breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject: "Madam asked you if you need to choose a new dress. She wants to take you to a dance party tomorrow."

Yun Yuwan didn't think much about it: "Dress? I brought one back from Belgium, so I don't need to choose a new one for now."

Uncle Deng smiled and said, "Then I will send you the electronic invitation."

It is good when the clouds are about to set.

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

The moment she received the invitation, she closed the jewelry box gracefully, returned the necklace to Uncle Deng, and said with a smile: "Brother has a good eye. Even I, an art student, am impressed."

Uncle Deng was filled with emotion.

Mr. Xiao Wen indeed chose it according to Miss Yun's preferences.

Yun Yuwan returned to her room and found that Lin Chu had sent her a message.

Ask her to go to a French restaurant in Jing'an Temple before 11 o'clock.

She had an announcement later, so Yun Yuwan had limited time to hook up with men.

Yun Yuwan blushed a little when she heard the words "fishing for a man".

Especially when I thought that the person I was going to catch was Wen Yangzhi.

She only knew how to avoid him before, but now she suddenly has to hook him, and she really doesn't know where to start.

The restaurant is called Le Bistrot de Racine and is located in an inconspicuous bungalow.

Only after Yun Yuwan entered did she discover that there was a different world inside the room.

There are green plants and flowers everywhere. A wide variety of wines are displayed in the wooden cabinets, and vinca majorana climbs the sand walls. The whole restaurant is full of southern French style.

A young man came from the opposite direction with a cell phone in his hand and tried to pass in front of her.

But I happened to meet Yun Yuwan on a narrow road.

If Yun Yuwan wanted to go right, he would go left. If Yun Yuwan wanted to go left, he would go right.

Repeat this a dozen times.

Yun Yuwan finally stopped.

The man thought she was going to give in.

Yun Yuwan hesitated for a moment: "Like me?"

The strange man also hesitated: "?"

He even hesitated: "How do you know I like you?"

"It seems pretty obvious." Yun Yuwan wasn't that stupid. "You want my WeChat?"

The man: “?”

She looked at her new French manicure, so confident that it was infuriating, but she said very politely: "I'm really sorry, I have a crush on someone, maybe next time."

The strange man looked at Yun Yuwan with a complicated expression.

She's a good-looking girl, but she doesn't seem to be very smart.

Yun Yuwan saw him looking at her reluctantly, and sighed inwardly that another man had lost his crush.
Shi Shiran told the waiter Lin Chu's name, and he led her to the private room reserved by Lin Chu.

As soon as you enter the room, the first thing you see is a bunch of exquisite and enchanting Rieger Begonias on the table. The waxy glossy dark green serrated leaves and the crimson double flowers complement each other.

In a French classical glass greenhouse.

Lin Chu was tapping his crossed legs and showed a look of disgust when he saw Yun Yuwan.

It’s hard to believe that she is the popular female star with a warm smile on the big screen in Xintiandi Plaza.

Doesn't look easy to get along with at all.

As soon as the waiter left, Lin Chu complained: "I never thought that you would be a poor student in love."

"But that was Wen Yangzhi. I was very afraid of him before, so it was inevitable that I would make mistakes." She looked hopeless.

"You are afraid of him but you also like him. You are such a masochist." Lin Chu sighed, "I wrote you a schedule. Follow this schedule to get along with Wen Yangzhi. Don't do anything on your own."

She took out a leather notebook from her tote bag and pushed it in front of Yun Yuwan.

Yun Yuwan unfastened the clasp and read the contents of the book.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and the beautiful and delicate flower petals on the table made her rosy face look even more rosy.

Yun Yuwan has a very tender girlish feeling, but she is definitely not childish. Instead, she is lively, with a fair complexion and a strong vitality, like a white rose, making people want to bite her cheek.

Her vitality is vigorous and flourishing, like a flower that blooms freely.

She has a lot of hair, a long neck and a lively expression.

She looked more like an artist's model than an artist. Even Lin Chu envied her complexion. Her facial features were not absolutely beautiful, but she was definitely more stunning on camera than other actresses whose faces were covered in high-tech technology.

Ever since Lin Chu met her, she has been as confident as a walking chicken, holding her head high.

But the whole world caters to her self-confidence, making this strange personality seem extremely reasonable.

From childhood to adulthood, Yun Yuwan has always been the focus of the crowd. Her grades may not be the best, but she is definitely the most popular. Everyone praises her, and countless boys have confessed their love to her.

There was even a boy who she mistakenly thought liked her and eventually started pursuing her.

So much so that no matter what funny things she does, people can still find her cute.

She would also confidently feel that others look at her because they like her, not because she is funny, and she is indeed cute.

Miss Yun, who was walking on the street, looked carefully at the catalog page, which read:

Say good morning and good night to Wen Yangzhi

Holding hands with Wen Yangzhi
Chatting about the past with Wen Yangzhi
Crying in front of Wen Yangzhi
Kissing Wen Yangzhi
Watching fireworks with Wen Yangzhi

Go shopping with Wen Yangzhi

……

Everything was normal at the beginning until Yun Yuwan saw the last line.

He Wen Yangzhi****
The two eye-catching words caught her eye, and she slammed the book shut, her face flushed: "You don't have to be so detailed."

Seeing that she finally saw that part, Lin Chu came back to his senses and laughed crazily: "Why, do you think Wen Yangzhi is not good enough?"

Yun Yuwan knew that she had been tricked by this guy. It turned out that she was here to make fun of her.

Her face flushed as she held her forehead: "I'm really impressed by you."

"It's rare that you have something to be ashamed of." Lin Chu knew that she was embarrassed, so he stopped teasing her, "Don't be angry, I specially booked this restaurant. Although the food is average, the decoration is very good, especially the flower arrangement. Enjoy it. I think you florists should like the environment more than the food."

Indeed, as soon as Yun Yuwan came in, she noticed the floral decoration in the house. The flowers were arranged very tastefully and not randomly mixed.

But she was still furious: "You're really going too far by writing this."

"It's only a matter of time before two people fall in love." Lin Chu laughed and couldn't help but be curious, "Speaking of which, what did Wen Yangzhi write in his love letter to you that made you so determined to return to China?"

Yun Yuwan was silent for a second, then dropped a bombshell: "Actually, I don't know either. I lost the letter before I even had a chance to read it."

Lin Chu, who was still laughing foolishly, said: "?"

It happened so suddenly that Lin Chu couldn't react immediately.

Suddenly, she had an inexplicable intuition: "You... wouldn't you... mistake a normal letter for a love letter?"

She said, what era is it now, how can people still write love letters? What a narcissistic bastard.

Yun Yuwan immediately retorted: "How is that possible?"

She said confidently: "My foreign housekeeper's husband knows Chinese. He read it and said it was a love letter."

Lin Chu breathed a sigh of relief, but was still confused: "Then why didn't her husband tell you what it wrote?"

Yun Yuwan also regretted not having read it: "Her husband was out at sea and we couldn't contact him. I don't know what it said specifically. My housekeeper only told me that it was a love letter."

Lin Chu stopped stirring the soup and tried to test it out: "Can you still find it if you try to look for it again?"

Yun Yuwan shook her head: "I'm afraid it will be too late to find it. The international letter has been sent for several days. I will go back to China first and let them find it."

Lin Chu still felt something was wrong: "Are you sure it's a love letter?"

"Her husband is Chinese, he can't be unfamiliar with Chinese." Yun Yuwan held her chin, "And isn't it normal for her to like me?"

She has liked him for seven years, and he has been thinking about her for several years, which is reasonable.

The familiar feeling came again, Lin Chu shuddered and quickly rubbed the goose bumps on his hands.

what.

But what this narcissist said does make sense.

There is no Chinese who doesn’t know Chinese.

On the other side, in the private tea room of the Rongfu Banquet in Sinan Mansion.

Wen Yangzhi pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Jiang Jianqing was curious: "No one you like?"

The smoke drifted from his slender fingers, and Wen Yangzhi said calmly: "I'm not like you. If you like someone, you'll announce your marriage in all newspapers and let the whole world know that your significant other is a Hong Kong star."

Jiang Jianqing didn't believe it: "Really?"

Outside the slender mahogany window, the shadows of the trees swayed and the sparse windows let in gold, but the light outside the window could not compete with the luxurious warm yellow light inside the room.

There is a kind of gorgeous but empty beauty.

Wen Yangzhi's profile was like the undulating mountains, thin and mature, and his voice was deep and powerful: "There was one six or seven years ago."

Jiang Jianqing knew it was impossible that there was no one: "Where is that person?"

What about people?

Wen Yangzhi raised his eyes slightly and said vaguely: "I can't chase her now."

Jiang Jianqing just thought it was funny. As long as he was alive, there was nothing he couldn't pursue: "Are you married?"

"If I get married, it might be okay." Wen Yangzhi lit another cigarette and pressed the cigarette on the gap of the glass ashtray with his long fingers.

He always had an unfathomable expression on his face, and even Jiang Jianqing often had to guess what he meant.

It is likely that he has been in the business world for too long and has become too cunning and unwilling to let anyone know what he is thinking.

"Oh, it's that classmate from college who's pursuing you, right? It's also normal for rising female stars to keep to themselves and not to have any gossip."

Wen Yangzhi didn't answer him, but sneered.

I don't know if it was self-mockery or contempt.

Jiang Jianqing thought he was unable to extricate himself, so he consoled him, "Whether you pursue her or not, time has passed. Six years ago you were in college, and six years later you are already Director Wen."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Wen Yangzhi did not speak a word. Only the gurgling sound of the hot tea boiling could be heard.

When talking about Wen Yangzhi's private life, it was awkward as expected.

Jiang Jianqing was already used to roundabout ways to save himself: "Come to think of it, the person you invited to the dinner party didn't meet your aesthetic standards."

Dashing and capable, completely different from the type Wen Yangzhi prefers.

It can even be said to be polar opposites.

Because Wen Yangzhi rarely reveals his feelings, most of the time we talk about funds, trusts, and venture capital.

One day, when he was slightly tipsy, Wen Yangzhi looked at the white gardenias in the restaurant and suddenly whispered, "This is also fine."

Jiang Jianqing remembered it immediately.

This is also fine.

That kind of simple, flawless, and overly fragrant style, it turns out that Wen Yangzhi likes this kind of style.

"I have my reasons for inviting her." Wen Yangzhi didn't say much.

"That's right." Jiang Jianqing affirmed, "You need someone of equal strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with you now, otherwise the future of Wen's Commercial Bank is uncertain."

But Wen Yangzhi did not comment.

Jiang Jianqing brought up something else: "There's a dance party at my house tomorrow, would you be so kind as to come?"

"I may not be able to spare the time if I schedule this kind of thing with my secretary or with me."

Jiang Jianqing secretly cursed this guy for his pretentiousness, which had reached an outrageous level.

But he knew that he might not be able to spare the time, so his secretary had to adjust his schedule.

After all, the entire Wen's Group is in his hands. If he doesn't keep busy, he would be letting down his 40,000 employees around the world.

The mist from the hot tea was rising, and it was impossible to see the emotions in Wen Yangzhi's eyes.

Yun Yuwan returned home and didn't see Mother Wen. The servant told her, "Madam asked you to prepare the jewelry. The host of this ball is very demanding and runs a law firm."

jewelry?

She came back from Belgium in a hurry and hadn't packed many things, and she didn't really have any suitable jewelry.

Yun Yuwan made a prompt decision and went out to visit a familiar high-end jewelry store.

It didn’t take me too much time to pick out a very stylish snake-shaped diamond necklace. The snake was wrapped around the middle of the body, forming a ring, with its tail hanging down thinly.

Novel, gorgeous and light enough.

In the evening, she packed up and went downstairs, and was told that Mother Wen had already gone to the dance.

Leave the driver to take her there.

Yun Yuwan didn’t think much about it.

The venue for the dance was a century-old English-style villa with a bronze plaque. The plaque indicated that the building was a historical and culturally protected building. A bronze plaque introducing the building was fixed on the outer wall so that all passers-by could see it.

It can be considered a stylish and private gathering. The house covers a large area, so it takes some connections to buy a lot of it.

However, as soon as she entered the atmosphere of the venue, Wen's mother Zhao Qin frowned slightly when she saw her: "Why did you choose such jewelry?"

Yun Yuwan was wearing a white dress with a wide, wave-like pleated collar that revealed her long neck and collarbone. The hem of her skirt had feather tassels, and a snake-shaped necklace went from her neck to her chest, with part of it falling into her collar.

It can be said that it is a dress that is both chic and elegant.

But Zhao Qin thought the necklace was frivolous. The owner was quite old-fashioned and could not accept anything too unconventional.

Yun Yuwan was completely confused.

Zhao Qin immediately called home and said, "Uncle Deng, please go to the jewelry store and choose a necklace that will suit Wanwan the most. Don't want something old-fashioned. Anything expensive will do."

Uncle Deng quickly agreed, but was a little surprised.

My wife actually said any price is fine.

Yun Yuwan was a little puzzled: "Is this one not okay?"

Zhao Qin looked at her adopted daughter. Fortunately, her dress was quite generous. She said, "This is your first meeting with the host family, so you'd better be serious."

Yun Yuwan was still a little confused.

Is it necessary to be so solemn just for a meeting?
