Crossing the line

Chapter 71 I love you

Even a friend like Jiang Yingyu, who she had just met, could sense that something was wrong with her and chased her out immediately, but Wen Yangzhi had no reaction and could only make phone calls.

If you are really worried, you should have followed her out right then. Instead of texting her “where are you?”, you should have texted her “I am worried about you. It is very late now. Where are you? I will pick you up.”

"Where?" She just felt that he was angry and thought she was immature. If they went back, they might quarrel again. He didn't care about her. She didn't want to go back. Only then would she feel a little safe.

When Wen Yangzhi called, Yun Yuwan hung up the phone and smiled at Jiang Yingyu: "Do you have a drone?"

Jiang Yingyu was a little surprised, but immediately answered her clearly: "We didn't have time to register the drone today, so we can only fly below 120 meters."

Yun Yuwan took the initiative to say: "It's okay, one hundred and twenty meters is enough. I have a small flower field just outside the city. I'll take you to see it."

Jiang Yingyu smiled: "Is this the Qianjin?"

She looked at the scenery outside the helicopter and said loudly amid the noise of the propeller:
"The helicopter is flying straight. Is this the rich boy?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Yun Yuwan held the phone in her hand, gently stroking the deep and shallow carving marks of the painting on the back, without tying the small teddy bear on the old phone case to the new one.

Yun Yuwan didn't come back all night.

Wen Yangzhi sent her a message and she replied, but then she stopped replying.

Wen Yangzhi sat in the back seat of the Maybach. The driver looked at his cold face cautiously:

"Director Wen, where else do you want to go?"

Tonight the driver went to the old house and then returned to Lujiazui. He also went to the art gallery in Jing'an and visited several strange restaurants. Later, Mr. Wen called and asked him to stop.

I don’t know what to look for.

Wen Yangzhi finally spoke: "Let's go back to Lujiazui and take a look."

At this moment, Yun Yuwan was standing beside Jiang Yingyu, watching him operate the drone and watching the real-time live footage on the screen of his remote control.

The lights in the flower fields are not particularly bright, but they provide enough light for the drone to take pictures of the ten acres of flower fields at night.

She excitedly grabbed Jiang Yingyu's arm holding the remote control and said, "Look, this is the small piece. I plan to call this multi-headed rose of this color Chocolate Milk Puff. Isn't the color of its edge beautiful?"

Jiang Yingyu's eyes fell on her hand on his arm. The temperature and distance were so close that he felt a surge of affection.

Her face was full of joy. He looked at her face and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, very beautiful."

She was not very tall, so when he casually held the remote control, she would have to pull his arm down so that the screen would not reflect light, allowing her to see more clearly, but it would make his heart beat faster.

She smiled happily: "This one is an eyeliner rose. There is a thin ink line on the white rose. Doesn't it look like eyeliner?"

She pointed to her eyes.

In fact, Jiang Yingyu didn't even notice that she had put on eyeliner, because although her eyes were round, the tails of her eyes were long, and the shadow just overlapped with the eyeliner. Only when he looked closely could he see that there was a thin line of eyeliner.

His hand held her cheek, and she subconsciously wanted to hide, but then she realized that he probably wanted to look into her eyes, so she looked at him openly.

Jiang Yingyu held her face, stared into her eyes, held the device in his hand, and didn't care where the drone flew to. His gaze only fell on her pupils, and their eyes met.

Yun Yuwan smiled brightly at him: "So does that rose look like eyeliner?"

In fact, Jiang Yingyu always felt that he was not a person who was easily moved, but this was the first time he felt electric shock. They had not met many times, but it was a romantic and touching coincidence, as if there was a red thread pulling him towards that person.

When he didn't know her name, he knew Millie's tree because there was a tree sign hanging on the maple tree. When he was avoiding a blind date with her, he didn't know she was Millie. When he had a car accident, he would never have thought that this strange girl he met in the restaurant would have his flowers, and that they would grow all over her villa.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her. Because he was much taller than her, when she smiled at him, he felt a strong desire to protect her and felt that she needed his protection.

His Adam's apple slid up and down: "Quite similar."

Yun Yuwan was very proud.

Jiang Yingyu suddenly said: "Millie, you are so cute."

His voice was a little low, his ears were red, and he felt a little unnatural after he finished speaking. He looked away and didn't dare to look at her.

Yun Yuwan was even more proud: "Yes, wouldn't Sonoda Umi be cute?"

He couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare look into her eyes, knowing that she must be even more adorable at this moment.

Yun Yuwan's clear voice rang out: "So you are the unlucky one who was arranged to go on a blind date with me. Why didn't you tell me when you knew my name was Yun Yuwan?"

"It wasn't the right time before, but I think today is suitable. The time, place and people are all right." Jiang Yingyu moved his gaze back, his fingertips gently stroking the remote control in his hand.

She was curious: "Why did you avoid the two families' dinner before?"

"Because I am a non-marriage advocate." Jiang Yingyu answered her truthfully.

Yun Yuwan smiled and said, "I'm different. I think since we're going to be together, marriage is a must. Without marriage, how can we prove absolute loyalty and sincerity?"

Jiang Yingyu spoke even more gently unconsciously. If it weren't for the darkness, Yun Yuwan would have noticed that his ears were red.

"I used to think marriage was very restrictive, especially arranged marriages. It was better to be single than to force yourself to develop a relationship with someone you didn't like."

Yun Yuwan was curious: "What about now?"

He said softly: "It depends on the situation now." If she was fully committed to marriage, she would marry the man who gave her the raincoat...

She smiled, raised her hand and clenched her fist, motioning him to fist bump: "I wish you can find someone you like, with a suitable family background, and don't have to be arranged by your family for a marriage."

He shook her hand and bumped his fist. His hands were much bigger than hers, and his fist was also bigger than hers, like a big steamed bun bumping into a small steamed bun, and he gently touched the back of her fingers:
"hope so."

The drone flew over the vast night sky and rose fields. The clouds in the sky drifted lightly. Although they were dark in color, they were as light and relaxed as black smoke.

After viewing the flower fields, Jiang Yingyu sent her all the way to the villa in Lujiazui.

Watching her get off the car, Jiang Yingyu suddenly called her: "Yuwan."

Yun Yuwan turned around in confusion: "What's the matter?"

He looked at her standing under the street light, feeling reluctant in his heart, but could only whisper:

"Good night."

Yun Yuwan did not leave, but walked around to the driver's seat and quickly rolled down the window.

Yun Yuwan scratched at his car window like a wild cat that stumbled upon him by chance, and reached in with her other hand arrogantly to stroke his hair: "Good night to you too, speak English. I had a lot of fun playing with you today."

Her illness meant that she had no sense of boundaries, but his heart skipped a beat. Her hands were very small, but she could reach out and touch his head, and he obediently let her touch him.

Yun Yuwan took back her hand and said, "Let's go."

She strode towards the villa area, and he kept the car lights on to illuminate the road for her, which was not too dark to begin with.

He didn't drive away until he saw her disappear. After a long while, he felt a mixture of depression and happiness. She didn't come out for a long time, so he finally drove away, making sure that he didn't need to pick her up after she ran away.

Yun Yuwan walked to the front of the villa, but felt like leaving and didn't want to go in.

In fact, she should book a room in a hotel for one night and come back tomorrow during the day.

But after hesitating, she still chose to go in.

He should be asleep at this time.

The door was not locked and opened easily.

As Yun Yuwan closed the door, she heard a low voice:
"Where did you go?"

Yun Yuwan was slightly startled when she saw Wen Yangzhi sitting in the shadow of the lamp and the screen, with the ashtray in front of him full of cigarette butts.

Wen Yangzhi looked at her quietly. His handsome and sharp face looked more three-dimensional in the shadow, but also more intimidating.

Yun Yuwan wanted to pretend to be calm, but the words were hard to speak, as if something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from saying those words to pretend to be calm.

I can only pause for a moment.

"I don't know that you and Governor Zhou...

She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Actually, I also feel like I'm being a little nosy. I didn't know you wanted to elect President Zhou, nor did I know you were planning to marry President Zhou. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

She smiled in a somewhat flattering way, but her heart was filled with emptiness, like a cold orchid, leaving no doubt that she would break up in the next second:

"Brother, you may not know that I don't have to be with you. I just thought you liked me a lot. No wonder you said I was the first one during this period of time."

Her voice was so gentle as if nothing had happened, even calmer than usual: "Actually, I don't need this time. I don't particularly like to force people. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the old house first, and then I will go back to Belgium tomorrow."

She took off the ring and put it on the coffee table: "That's it, don't talk to me, otherwise I might lose my temper for no reason. I don't want you to think that I'm stupid and crazy again."

She could hardly hold it in any longer, so she turned her back and immediately walked away, because her tear glands were about to burst.

"Yun Yuwan." He called her.

She forced herself to remain calm and looked back, seemingly smiling gently and calmly, but tears were streaming down her face. She choked with sobs, but hoped that the dim light would cover her tears: "What's wrong?"

Wen Yangzhi's eyes were still calm and unperturbed:
"I love you."

Yun Yuwan was stunned for a moment and stood there without moving: "What do you mean?"

His voice was hoarse and low because of staying up all night and smoking, but it was always quiet and silent: "I love you, that's what I love. Giving you the maple leaf ring was definitely not my original intention."

He opened the drawer, took out a ring box, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of her with his long fingers:
"Because the ring I want to give you is here."

Her eyes fell on the brown velvet jewelry box, but at this moment she no longer wanted to look at it, nor was she curious to know what was inside.

She just forced a smile and said, "Oh, I know. I'll leave first."

His eyes were fixed, without a smile:

"I said this period of time because I don't have much time for a relationship. You know I'm very busy every day, so when we first get together, I will spend more time to slowly get used to each other."

Yun Yuwan just smiled at him gently, but he clearly saw her tears gathering the few lights and dripping down brightly.

If I hadn't seen the tears falling, I might have really thought she was smiling.

People who are not loved are good at covering up the truth.
