Awakening Secret

Chapter 6 A Sudden Gift

Luckily, Li Luo slept for a few hours last night, and watered the two potted flowers on the window sill in the study room the next day.

These two potted plants were originally necrotic potted plants taken down by Xie Yuning's office. The cleaning lady wanted to throw them away, so she thought it was a pity to raise them.Every day, I stole laboratory materials to make some biochemical fertilizers, and added some feed to them from time to time, and quickly fed them.

Shang Yan came in and put down a black schoolbag, looking sleepy.Li Luo greeted Shang Yan, who first asked her: "The boy I met yesterday, how is it?"

boys?That Mr. Qin is not a boy.Li Luo didn't answer.Shang Yan rubbed his eyes, his double eyelids turned into triple eyelids.Did he stay up all night because of what he saw last night?
That's right, Shang Yan didn't sleep all night last night, and his mind was full of messy images, all of a sudden it was his mother's gentle face, and all of a sudden it was that woman's arrogant appearance...

Li Luo could also think of Shang Yan's mood, just like her former self.On the mobile phone, Mr. Qin sent a message: "I'm sorry, Ms. Li, I think our age difference is too big, let's forget it. I wish you success in your studies and make more contributions to the research cause."

Li Luo looked at the text message, a little unbelievable.Didn't Mr. Qin make an appointment with her next time after eating hot pot yesterday?

Ahem, it's not that Qin Yiqian doesn't want to get in touch, or he doesn't dare to get in touch.Some people let go of their words and cannot move their students' minds.

Early in the morning, Xie Yuning appeared outside the study room of Li Luo and Shangyan, and said with a sullen face: "Why are you all wilting, come and work for me."

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuning asked her and Shang Yan to come out to sweep the fallen ginkgo leaves.

It was windy last night, and there were a lot of yellow ginkgo leaves on Ginkgo Avenue.Now is the golden autumn season, the ginkgo tree is shining brightly in the sun, the breeze blows, and the branches and leaves of the tree are rustling...

Holding the broom, Li Luo thought of a little poem - Autumn is coming / Butterflies are dead / Green leaves turn golden / Butterflies fly out of the garden.

In the laboratory building, Xie Yuning was distracted, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his whole person was upright and upright; below his line of sight, Li Luo and Shang Yan were talking and laughing while taking pictures, having a good time.He punished her and Shang Yan to go out to clean up the ginkgo leaves, and the two of them were in a good mood.Xie Yuning took one last look and left the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Downstairs, Li Luo and Shang Yan also finished sweeping the Ginkgo Avenue and called it a day.There is no task in the afternoon, Li Luo has been playing with his mobile phone, and then saw an interesting thing.A boy on the Landa Forum publicly announced his love to Lin Jiaqi at [-]:[-] pm, and there were countless comments in a short time.

Li Luo followed up the whole post on his mobile phone.This boy should be Jiaqi's class monitor. There are many comments in the comments that call this boy the class monitor.Before going back, Li Luo showed Shang Yan the post.Shang Yan finished watching in silence without saying anything, and rode away on his bicycle.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Luo stayed in the apartment, connected his mobile phone to the player in the bedroom, and watched the live video of Landa.The huge projection screen in the bedroom came down, and the live broadcast had already started.She lived up to her expectations, tonight's confession was as exciting as a love movie.On the screen, Lin Jiaqi was pushed to the front by her classmates, her hair was tied into a bun, and she looked unwilling.

In the bullet screen, everyone bet on whether Shang Yan would appear, until there was a cry of surprise, and Shang Yan appeared in front of the courting male protagonist...Suddenly bored, Li Luo walked outside the terrace and lazily put his hands on the fence .

The night wind was blowing, and she suddenly wanted to drink.

Li Luo drove to the bar, lucky enough to see the follow-up plot of tonight's confession scene.Near the Qingchuang Plaza ahead, Shang Yan fought with the squad leader who confessed his love today, and Lin Jiaqi stood beside him to persuade the fight.

What, who is getting angry from embarrassment?

That's right, this was a fight caused by embarrassment.The boy who confessed to Lin Jiaqi today is called Zhang Yue, and he fell in love with the most beautiful Lin Jiaqi in the class when he entered school.The person who had never paid attention to him before, responded to his text messages and watched movies with him these few days, which gave him great courage and confidence.Choosing to woo and confess in public, Zhang Yue also informed Lin Jiaqi in advance, Lin Jiaqi just pouted: "I'll just do whatever you want."

Ambiguity kills people.

The confession failed and they met again in the square. Under the instigation of friends, Zhang Yue, who was drunk, shouted at Shang Yan: "Shang Yan, do you know that Lin Jiaqi has been with me for the past two days!"

Lin Jiaqi turned her head in shame and indignation: "Zhang Yue, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Yue is not a boy who is easy to fool, he bawled: "Bitch!" Then he provocatively said to Shang Yan: "Mr. Shang, you are the only treasure for a girl like Lin Jiaqi. In my eyes, she is just a bitch." ..."

When Zhang Yue said the latter words, Shang Yan punched out first.

Outnumbered, Shang Yan was beaten several times later.Li Luo parked the sports car beside him, put his hand on the window, pressed the horn in the middle of the steering wheel heavily, and pushed the door down.

Among the group of people, Li Luo made an impromptu appearance, arrogantly brought Shang Yan and Lin Jiaqi into his sports car, then closed the car window without a glance, stepped on the accelerator and left; leaving behind the five unresponsive boys, scolded Father scolds mother.

For a four-seater sports car, the space is flawed.Li Luo was driving the car, and Shang Yan and Lin Jiaqi seemed to be squeezed behind him, and no one spoke.The atmosphere is a bit stuffy.Li Luo was a little helpless, when she got out of the car and took away Shang Yan and Jiaqi, she had no purpose.

"Hi!" Li Luo broke the silence and asked with a smile, "How are you all?"

"It's okay." Shang Yan replied, "Li Luo, thank you."

"It's a small matter, don't worry about it." Li Luo asked again, "Are you injured, do you need to go to the hospital?"

With Li Luo's reminder, Lin Jiaqi finally came to her senses, and she burst into tears, and asked Shang Yan with concern: "Shang Yan, are you injured? Let's go to the hospital."

"No need..." Shang Yan refused, and said stubbornly, "I'm fine."

Lin Jiaqi suddenly wanted to get out of the car.Li Luo pulled over and stopped the car, wondering what Lin Jiaqi was going to do, and then she saw Lin Jiaqi get out of the car quickly, ran under a street lamp on the side of the road, squatted down slowly, and burst into tears.

Tonight, she is destined to finish watching this idol drama.Li Luo said to Shang Yan behind him, "Shang Yan, go down and have a look."

Shangyan got off the car.

Li Luo also turned off the fire.The car window was half open, and the night breeze poured in. She took off her hat in a bad mood, and then curled her lips in disbelief. Just now, she actually softened her heart for Lin Xiyin's daughter.

Then, Li Luo patted the steering wheel, there is no principle in being a human being!

In the rearview mirror, Lin Jiaqi and Shang Yan were both standing under the street lamp. Shang Yan looked apologetic and hugged Lin Jiaqi into his arms.Lin Jiaqi cried bitterly again, tightly clutching Shang Yan's white shirt with both hands...

Naturally, Shang Yan and Lin Jiaqi, the angry couple, reconciled satisfactorily.

The next day, when Li Luo met Shang Yan, Shang Yan's face turned red, looking extremely embarrassed.Li Luo didn't mention what happened yesterday, but Shang Yan took the initiative to say: "Li Luo, I almost didn't recognize you last night."

"Oh, is that so?" Li Luo touched her nose, and asked Shang Yan uncertainly, "Is my outfit yesterday a little exaggerated?" She was dressed in punk because she was going to a bar last night, or 25 years of punk style.

"No... very beautiful." Shang Yan smiled, "Thank you again."

Without further ado, Shang Yan entered the laboratory.

Yesterday, Shang Yan sent Lin Jiaqi back to the dormitory. Lin Jiaqi, who regained her emotions, took his hand and said to Li Luo, "Shang Yan, do you think Li Luo is strange, she seems to be very rich."

Shang Yan didn't want to talk about people behind his back, and he didn't want Jiaqi to be angry about Li Luo again.

Lin Jiaqi continued: "Didn't you tell me that Li Luo is an orphan last time? Do you think an orphan can afford to drive a sports car? I really don't know where her car came from..."

Shang Yan held back his annoyance and said, "Jiaqi, we don't know about Li Luo's adoptive parents, so stop guessing."

"Shang Yan, you really don't understand girls very well." Lin Jiaqi confessed some facts, "At first I really wanted to make friends with Li Luo, but then I found out that Li Luo is too materialistic... It feels like she only wants to find a rich man. "

Shang Yan didn't agree, but just held Lin Jiaqi's hand.

Lin Jiaqi turned around and hugged Shang Yan, and said the words of assurance: "Shang Yan, I will never be jealous again. Let's stay together, okay?"

Shang Yan looked at Jiaqi, thinking that he and Jiaqi had known each other for more than ten years!Inexplicably thinking of his father's behavior, Shang Yan stretched out his hand to circle Lin Jiaqi, and promised, "Okay."

He also told himself in his heart that he wanted to keep a distance from Li Luo.

Xie Jingyi's 48th birthday is here, tomorrow is Thursday.The birthday of the birth year has always been the most important thing for the people of Lan City.Xie Jingyi's birthday party is scheduled to be held in the banquet hall on the 48th floor of the Airy Platinum Five-Star Hotel in Tianlan Center.Airy Hotel is located at the head of Lanjiang Bay, which is known as the "most beautiful night scene" in Lan City. On the 48th floor, you can overlook half of the bright and bright city of Lanzhou.

Li Luo remembered that Lin Qingjia's birthday was also in this month.But she is no longer that birthday, and the birthday of her passport is the day she regained consciousness; the name Li Luo was also chosen for her by Dr. Li after waking up, and it comes from "Mediocrity is like jade, Luoluo is like jade" in "Lao Tzu". stone".

Dr. Li used to be the most famous biochemist, but few people know that he is also a lover of ancient literature.Sudden miss, Li Luo made a video call to Dr. Li, and then went back to the bedroom to work.

Tomorrow morning, she will do a biochemical practice exchange activity in the Landa Library.There have been so many things going on recently, she almost forgot about it.It took an hour to write the speech, and when I closed the computer, the chat box flickered.

Lin Jiaqi sent her a website link, Li Luo opened it, and entered the Landa forum post.

"Li Luo, I don't know who is slandering you." Lin Jiaqi sent another sentence, sharing the same hatred with her.

Li Luo didn't reply to Lin Jiaqi for a while, but browsed through the posts.It was indeed a slanderous post. The post fermented overnight and became a hot post on the Landa Forum, surpassing Lin Jiaqi's public confession two days ago.

The host who posted the post took a photo of her getting off the Maserati sports car, and at the same time searched the Internet for a photo of her attending a banquet in the United States last year. The photo is very fascinating.Lawn parties for foreigners are everywhere, and she is one of the few Chinese girls in them.

The host said that a friend of his had also attended the banquet, and the news conclusively revealed that she was the accompanying girl of the foreigner at the banquet... On the big night, she abruptly put on a chaotic hat.Li Luo leaned back on the recliner, thanked Lin Jiaqi, and turned off the computer.

The next day, Xie Yuning appeared on the campus of Lanzhou University as scheduled, and met Professor Wang head-on.Today he came to serve as the guest of exchange activities, which was personally invited by Professor Wang last week.Professor Wang was his former professor, but Xie Yuning refused.

Facing the most proud child, Professor Wang expressed joy, shook Xie Yuning's hand and said: "The children I have brought up are not ordinary."

What's the meaning?Professor Wang looked at his formal suit and continued to affirm, "Very formal, very serious, very good."

The professor thought he was dressed so formally for Li Luo?The world is full of such misunderstandings.He came here today in a suit, mainly because he is going to attend sister Xie Jingyi's birthday party tonight. As for being a guest, is it just so ostentatious?

Xie Yuning twitched at Professor Wang, and said politely: "That's natural, because it's your professor's invitation."

Professor Wang looked happy, and then, like a child, he took out a few free coffee coupons for faculty and staff from his pocket, stuffed them into Xie Yuning's hand and said, "Free coffee coupons in Landa Library, the teacher invites you to drink!"

Xie Yuning pursed her lips, and reluctantly accepted: "...Thank you, Professor."

This is the professor with the professor on his head.

The practical speech activity of the Department of Biochemistry has not yet started. Xie Yuning bought a cup of low-calorie and low-sugar coffee in the coffee shop on the third floor of the library with the coffee coupon given by Professor Wang, and came to the small wooden square table by the window.

In front, there are two girls talking.

"Did you read the post that exposed Li Luo last night? It was Li Luo who was going to give a speech in the lecture hall today, and it was exposed that she had a chaotic foreign relationship. It was said that the sports car she drove was bought by an old foreign man. "

"Oh my god! No way... I've seen her in person, she looks very beautiful." Another girl agreed, not forgetting to speculate, "If it's true, she has really strong tastes, even foreign countries Old men can do it."

"..."

The ugly words continued, Xie Yuning stood up and left the coffee shop.He bumped into Li Luo who was coming up the stairs, and exclaimed with a smile on his face, "Professor, are you here?"

"Yeah." Xie Yuning nodded, put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Buy coffee?"

"Yes." Li Luo also nodded.

"Here." Xie Yuning took out the three remaining free coffee coupons from his trouser pocket, and stuffed them into Li Luo's hands like Professor Wang gave him, "Please drink."

Li Luo put three crumpled free coffee coupons into his pocket with a smile: "Thank you...professor."

Li Luo went in to buy coffee, Xie Yuning glanced at the back of Li Luo pushing open the glass door, and reminded him later.Think about it, I probably became addicted to being a teacher.

Li Luo ordered a cup of coffee rich in sugar and milk with the free coffee coupon, and then came to the lecture hall to give a speech.Today's speech event is just an exchange event between the departments, but the lecture hall in the library was used, and her practice teacher Xie Yuning was also invited.With such attention, Li Luo had no choice but to treat it well.

I don't know if the post last night promoted her, but today the lecture hall of the library is full of 500 people, giving her the illusion that her popularity has exploded.In fact, the entire Department of Biochemistry does not have 500 people in total, and many of them came to watch the jokes.

Li Luo took a USB flash drive to the stage and scanned the entire lecture hall. Xie Yunning was sitting in the front guest seat, and then Lin Jiaqi and Shang Yan also came over and sat in the last row.Lin Jiaqi also held a cup of coffee from the Landa Library in her hand, took a sip, and handed it to Shang Yan next to her.

Li Luo cleared his throat and began to give a speech. The content was basically based on the manuscripts compiled last night, with some pictures.On the huge projection screen, she played the practice photos one by one, and finally stopped at a photo of her attending a lawn banquet.

There were some whispers in the auditorium.Because this photo is exactly the same as the one on the Lanta Forum, there is no difference.The only difference is one original and one bootleg.

Li Luo glanced at the audience and said: "I don't think the students who came here today are for communication. They should be familiar with this photo. They must have seen this photo in the forum; it is also because of the content of the forum last night, which has a personal impact on me. A certain amount of curiosity and suspicion... It's okay. Welcome to come, because I want to make some clarifications on this matter."

Then click the mouse to enlarge the picture.

"Let's talk about this photo first. I don't know who found this photo of a banquet over the wall. I am very touched. Someone has put so much effort into me. There is a Chinese idiom called chasing wind and chasing shadows. The students present should understand the meaning. It's just as a misunderstood Fang, I don’t understand why I think I’m a chaotic person based on the two photos? However, I think everyone is still skeptical, otherwise they wouldn’t come to listen to a speech by a person with a chaotic style...”

Below, many people laughed.

Li Luo spread his hands: "So I want to give a speech here today. If I don't respond to the statement, I will really disappoint the curiosity of the students present. First of all, you don't have to doubt the white sports car. I am its only and legal owner. There is no The nonsense given by the old man Qian. The car purchase money is also my own labor income. Please don’t doubt my words——

"This photo comes from a celebration banquet for the successful cooperation between me and Wells in the United States. Wells is a giant in an American biochemical technology company. Students who have checked my information should know that my main research direction at the State University of New York is Telomere and cell aging, during the semester, my team and I completed a product through continuous attempts, and then set up an entrepreneurial team, and sold the product patent to Wells Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. in the form of cooperation, so I not only got a lot of money patent fees, and became a minority shareholder of Wells."

There was an uproar.

Li Luo also smiled: "So that day, I really participated in the Wells company celebration as a collaborator, not as a female partner of any of them. The person who posted last night said that she also attended the banquet. Shareholders of Si, don’t mind standing up, we can still get to know each other.”

The humorous ridicule again aroused small laughter.

Li Luo pursed her lips and finished the conclusion: "My explanation is almost like this. I don't know what kind of mentality the person who posted the post speculates about my chaotic relationship abroad, but I must defend my personal reputation. Here I formally Response to the person who slandered me: Don't easily destroy a girl's reputation, and don't easily question everything your eyes see. Guessing whether a girl who drives a sports car is being adopted by someone will not make you look sharp, it will only make yourself More mundane and boring. Finally, thank you for coming, the above is all I want to say today except for professional sharing...Thank you."

There was a moment of silence in the lecture hall, and then applause broke out.

The first applause came from Xie Yuning, sitting directly below in a black suit, applauding her calmly.Li Luo was suddenly moved, and this feeling came from affirmation and trust.Although she is not even counted as half of Xie Yuning's students, he believes in her.Xie Yuning in the audience raised his eyes, his eyes were brilliant and subtle, he seemed to notice the flicker in her eyes, and he licked his mouth at her.Li Luo also pouted, why was she still moved like a little girl.

She's going to be a witch, isn't she?
In the library lecture hall, the applause was warm.Shang Yan, who was in the last row, didn't applaud. He held Lin Jiaqi's coffee in his hand, looking a little dazed, recalling every word Li Luo just said.Lin Jiaqi patted it twice, her pretty face was a little hot, and it felt like the applause was being slapped on her face.

When Li Luo came out of the lecture hall, he passed by Shang Yan and Lin Jiaqi, and said hello.Suddenly felt being pulled, the technique was very similar to Xie Yuning.There are so many people, Li Luo blinked and turned around, what does it look like?
Xie Yuning just pulled it casually, put it down, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Luo replied: "In the office."

"Take my car and let's go together." Xie Yuning said.

Oh, it turned out that he wanted to take her along the way.Li Luo nodded.

Li Luo came out with Xie Yuning and sat in Xie Yuning's co-pilot.There was a gift box on the passenger seat, Xie Yuning put it behind when she got in the car.

Li Luo put on his seat belt and said with emotion: "If someone photographs me getting into the professor's car, maybe it will be another good article."

"Heh." Xie Yuning smiled and asked her, "Would you... care about such nonsense?"

This time, Li Luo grinned and said, "Of course I don't care, I care about what other people look at. Besides, Professor, you are so handsome, I'm too late to be honored."

Xie Yuning pulled her lips: "Oh, is that so?"

In an old custom dress shop in Lan City, Lin Xiyin was accompanying Xie Jingyi to try on the dress, and kept praising the dark red dress for looking young.Xie Jingyi looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied.Time flies, and birthdays have passed one by one.Xie Jingyi said to the old store manager, "I'm sorry, for the banquet in the evening, I came to try on the dress in the afternoon."

"You're so lazy..." Lin Xiyin put two sips of sugar cubes into the exquisite bone china black teacup, interjected, "If I hadn't reminded you, would I have forgotten it?"

Xie Jingyi smiled.

At this moment, a little brother who seemed to be delivering a courier came in from outside, and came across to Lin Xiyin with a box, and asked respectfully, "Hi, are you Miss Xie?"

Lin Xiyin smiled, deliberately not answering the courier brother.

"Okay, don't tease him anymore." Xie Jingyi said to the courier brother, "I'm... what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The little brother apologized to Xie Jingyi embarrassingly, and handed the gift box to Xie Jingyi, "Your gift from the same city, please sign for it."

Xie Jingyi was puzzled.

Lin Xiyin curled her lips and said, "...it's really good for anyone who sends birthday presents here."

The driver, Lao Feng, came to pick him up.Xie Jingyi was short on time, so she left first, taking the gift she just received.

In the car, Xie Jingyi was really curious and opened the gift box.Inside the pink gift box is a beautiful and lovely diamond brooch.Xie Jingyi held it in her hand and admired it, wondering who gave the gift.Think about only the husband and son, or the younger brother Xie Yuning.

Soon, Xie Jingyi froze the corners of her mouth.In the exquisite pink gift box, in addition to the beautiful and lovely diamond brooch, there are three photos...

In the evening, Li Luo came out of the biochemical cell laboratory, feeling a little sorry.

Hurting someone's face doesn't hurt someone's mood. She probably ruined Xie Jingyi's happy birthday celebration today, so besides sending Xie Jingyi a photo, she also bought Xie Jingyi a gift.

I hope I can make up for Xie Jingyi's hurt heart tonight

"Ma'am, wait a minute..."

Old Feng in front was talking, and called Xie Jingyi's wife several times.Xie Jingyi calmed down all the emotions in her body, and said to Driver Feng, "Okay." In fact, she didn't hear clearly what Driver Feng said to her just now.

Looking at these three photos, Xie Jingyi felt cold all over her body, and her heart was severely pulled.

The first photo: Beside the black car, Lao Feng opens the door for a young and beautiful woman.The woman raised her chin, her face full of indifference.

The second photo: The blurred silhouette proves that Shang Yu is also in the car, and she is very familiar with the clear and serious face.

Third photo: If the first two photos had any chance of self-deception, the third photo was like a sharp sword piercing her heart.In the photo, her husband and that woman should be on vacation. By the beach with high tide, the sea breeze at night gently blows the kissing two people. The picture is very gentle...

The photo was taken with a long-focus lens, and it was specially enlarged to show her. The back and profile of the two were very clear, and even the wedding ring on the ring finger of Shang Yu's left hand on the woman's waist was clearly visible.

When the hotel arrived, Xie Jingyi put the three photos and the diamond brooch in her handbag as quickly as possible.

Old Feng parked the car in the dedicated parking space of the Airy Hotel: "Madam, President Shang is waiting for you in the lounge on the 49th floor."

Xie Jingyi tidied up her appearance and asked Driver Feng a question: "Old Feng, how many years have you been driving for Shang Yu?"

"It's been 30 years." Lao Feng replied to Xie Jingyi with a smile on his face, and said with emotion, "Madam, you have been married to Mr. Shang for 23 years."

23 years!Yes, she has been married to Shang Yu for 23 years, and her Shang Yan is 22 years old.

Xie Jingyi took the elevator to the VIP rest room on the 49th floor, where Shang Yu was lying on a soft leather sofa and had his face shaved by a beautician.Not too far away, she saw her husband's eyes tightly closed.I don't know if I'm tired or I'm asleep.Xie Jingyi stared blankly at Shang Yu's face. After more than 20 years, this face she was familiar with was still profound and handsome. The only difference was that the brow bone was raised, and the eyes were darker and deeper, like a pool hidden in a deep mountain. .Now, with his eyes closed, he was a little gentler.

Xie Jingyi put on the comfortable slippers provided by the hotel, walked in silently, and the beauty lady raised her head in surprise.She signaled the beautician to leave with her eyes, and the beautician bent over and went out.

On the flat functional sofa, Shang Yu slept very relaxedly.

Xie Jingyi knew that Shang Yu was very tired these two days, not only had to deal with the company's people, but also asked him to help with the Xie family's affairs.Recently, he organized a birthday party for her again... Xie Jingyi reached out and stroked Shang Yu's brow, lamenting the unfairness of time.Obviously she is one year younger than him, she is no longer young, but he is still handsome and good-looking.

The lounge of the Airy Hotel was smoked with calming balm, and Shang Yu fell into a light sleep from the original closed eyes.In the dream, the old people and old things surfaced, arousing the emotions he treasured in his heart.

"Qing Jia..."

"Qing Jia..."

"Qing Jia..."

The consciousness in his mind was too tight, Shang Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and held a hand; following the soft hand, he looked at Xie Jingyi who was sitting next to him: "Here we come."

Old couples, sometimes there is no need for too much language communication.

Xie Jingyi said, "Look, you fell asleep and didn't wake you up..."

Shang Yu replied, "I'm a little tired recently."

Xie Jingyi: "Don't work too hard, take a good rest after a while."

Shang Yu: "Okay."

"Let's go on a trip, next month." Xie Jingyi suggested, "Take Shangyan for a walk together... It's been a long time, and our family hasn't gone out to play together."

Shang Yu stared, and after a while, agreed, "Okay. You are a birthday star today, so you can say anything."

Xie Jingyi smiled.

Shang Yu sat up from the soft leather sofa, still holding Xie Jingyi's hand, and looking at his wife with gentle eyes, which is a kind of trust and affection accumulated over time.

The birthday party started, and Xie Jingyi attended with Shang Yu on her arm.Under the bright lights, a face of happiness.

Xie Yunning leaned on the white chair and pulled her lips, in line with the happy family banquet atmosphere tonight, sitting next to the silent Shang Yan, next to Shang Yan was Lin Jiaqi.This year's birthday party, Lin Jiaqi has already sat with Xie's family.

Not far away, Lin Xiyin glanced here from time to time, as if she was inspecting something.

Xie Yuning listened uninterestedly to the piano piece "Blessings of Love" played by the accompanist, looked at his nephew, and wondered why Shang Yan was listless.

The food for the dinner was plentiful.

Xie Yuning drank half a cup of yogurt and didn't eat much vegetables.He has always disliked eating food and drinks at banquets, and picking and choosing with a pair of serving chopsticks makes people lose their appetite.Shang Yan knew about his little uncle's problem, and he was not used to seeing it.Lin Jiaqi didn't dare to provoke Xie Yuning, so she put a cheese stick on Shang Yan and said, "Peel a shrimp for me."

"Okay." Shang Yan picked up his chopsticks. The shrimps tonight were really good, the peony shrimps brought in by air from Hokkaido.He peeled one and put it in Lin Jiaqi's bowl, and then his parents came over.Lin Jiaqi immediately said something flattering.

Xie Jingyi smiled, she was still very satisfied with Lin Jiaqi, remembering that the two children quarreled a while ago, and said to Shang Yan: "Shang Yan, you and Jiaqi need to be good, you know?"

Shang Yan hummed.

Lin Jiaqi pouted and nodded.

Xie Jingyi's eyes were silent, as if she was worried about something.

Shang Yan raised his head suddenly, and said to his mother: "Mom, don't worry, Jiaqi and I won't quarrel anymore." Is Qi finalized? I think it will be finalized by the end of the year."

"Jiaqi and I have known each other since childhood, and my mother and Jiaqi's mother are good sisters. Since Jiaqi and I will get married after graduation, we can get engaged first."

In the two strings of words, Shang Yan spoke quickly and heavily, his face flushed from holding back.Those who didn't know the truth sounded like he was nervous.

Xie Jingyi also thought so, and softly blamed Shang Yan: "Xiaoyan, did you propose marriage like this?"

Lin Jiaqi lowered her head with a look of embarrassment.

"We'll discuss this matter again." Shang Yu turned back to his son and looked away.His son knew it himself. Shang Yan just said something, and Shang Yu knew that Shang Yan really saw him that day.

Not wanting to stay any longer, Xie Yuning left early and stood up to say goodbye.

There is a custom in Lan City that the elders do not attend the children's birthday banquet. Every year Xie Jingyi celebrates her birthday and thank her father and mother.As the most important representative of the Xie family, Xie Yuning was supposed to entertain the relatives of the Xie family at the banquet tonight for Xie Jingyi, but Xie Yuning never "should" do it.

Naturally, Xie Jingyi would not feel sorry for her talented, intelligent and arrogant younger brother.Just worried, she said a few words to Xie Yuning: "Did you drink? If you did, I will ask the driver to take you back, don't drive by yourself."

Xie Yuning: "Don't worry, I didn't drink."

Xie Jingyi felt relieved a little.

Xie Yuning kept a silent face, unable to get out of her heart.He knows his sister's character very well, so he chooses not to say anything about some things.As for his brother-in-law and that woman, he also hoped that it was just a momentary confusion.Before leaving, Xie Yuning picked up the suit jacket that the waiter handed over, and also greeted Shang Yu: "Brother-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

For so many years, Shang Yu also did not expect Xie Yuning to help him take care of the place, and said gently: "Be careful."

Xie Yuning turned around.

"Yunning, you forgot your gift bag." Xie Jingyi called Xie Yuning to stop.

Xie Yuning turned around, he didn't want a gift bag for each person.The annual return gift bag is filled with chocolates and a small set of skin care products. "Sister, you know that I don't eat sugar, so this skin care product is useless to me." Xie Yuning said.

"Of course I know you don't eat sugar." Xie Jingyi said, "Don't you really have a girl to give these chocolates and skin care products?"

"No." Xie Yuning took the gift bag handed over by her sister, and said again, "Happy birthday."

Xie Jingyi smiled, watched her brother go away, and turned her head to meet Shang Yu's gaze.Under the big white round table, she put her hand in her husband's.Shang Yu naturally stopped.

What a pity!

On the colorful streets of the city, Li Luo ostentatiously wore a doll wig and passed through the most lively neighborhood in Lan City.Passing by a cake shop, she exclaimed at the exquisite cakes in the window.

Gain knowledge and gain knowledge Wow, how can the current cake be so beautiful!Think about how the cakes she ate in the past were so beautiful, they were all old-fashioned decorations.Li Luo happily bought a small cake of a human Barbie doll. He remembered that he liked Barbie dolls before, and he liked them so much that his collection filled a room.

But those dolls must have been thrown away by Lin Xiyin.

It was a long night, and Li Luo was carrying the cake, planning to find a place to kill time; standing at the intersection waiting for a taxi, private cars drove past her quickly, and there was an off-road vehicle of the same model and color as Xie Yuning.

Oh, it's the same license plate... Li Luo suddenly turned his head.

Ten meters ahead, the black off-road vehicle came to a sudden stop, Li Luo reacted and trotted over.

Xie Yuning felt that her eyes were really bright enough, even if someone dressed up like that, he still recognized her at a glance.The car stopped on the side of the road, Xie Yuning pressed the window, and the people outside were already looking at him with smiles: "Hi, Professor Xie, are you calling me?"

Xie Yuning asked with a sullen face: "Where are you going when you dress up like this?"

Li Luo: "Sing." That's right, she just planned to find a karaoke room to sing.

Xie Yuning's complexion sank again: "How many people?"

Li Luo was a little embarrassed: "...Alone."

It's a pity to have no friends.Xie Yuning threw out a sentence: "Get in the car."

"Oh." Li Luoti got into the car and asked politely, "Professor, are you going to take me back?"

"Do you think I'll be that good?" Xie Yuning asked leisurely, without waiting for Li Luo's answer, she said again: "I'm bored too, let's sing together."
