Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 90 An Affectionate Kiss

By the time the group of them returned to Meng Haoxiang's villa, night had fallen.Mrs. He greeted everyone with a beaming smile and greeted everyone to go in for dinner. The table was full of nutritious dishes.Ye Zijin had just recovered from a serious illness and had no appetite, so he ate a little and went back to his room to rest.Xiaoyue did not go back to Meng Haoxiang's residence with her, but went back to the shop after picking her up from the hospital.

Ye Zijin gently locked the door, sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at his face that had lost weight, and recalled how he had been delirious in the past few days, and suddenly regretted his attitude towards Meng Haoxiang today.It's not that she is grateful, but she doesn't know why she can't speak calmly in front of him. It seems that there is always an invisible barrier between the two of them. She can't understand his authoritarian power, and presumably he can't understand it either. Own nobility and stubbornness.

Ye Zijin lay sideways on the bed, looking at the white moonlight coming in through the window screen, her heart softened again.She wore a fringed cloud-pattern shawl, gently pushed it out, and stood on the balcony staring at the faint crescent moon hanging in the night sky.The fountain in the small garden was still rushing out with an undercurrent, and the moonlight was shining lightly and shallowly, as thin as a cicada's wing, as if covering the flowers and trees with a hazy layer of frost.

Ye Zijin looked at the crescent moon silently, and couldn't help but think of Zizheng. It was also the same moonlit night. She was embroidering peonies while watching Zizheng read and write.Where will Zizheng be now?When will he come back and reunite with her.She suddenly complained to her younger brother, even if she knew the truth, as long as Zizheng insisted, she would not stop him, why did Zizheng leave Shanghai without telling her.

She was thinking in a daze, when a voice suddenly sounded next to her, which startled her.

"What are you thinking about? Why don't you go to bed so late?" Meng Haoxiang stood on the balcony of another room, adjacent to Ye Zijin's room, only a few feet away.

Ye Zijin took a step back, she felt that it was a bit abrupt to meet a man like this in the dead of night.Her heart was pounding, she pretended to be calm and said: "Oh... If you can't sleep, come out and look at the moon, to get some air."

The light from the room reflected Meng Haoxiang's profile very clearly, and his dark eyes were as bright as blades, and there was a gentle smile in them at this moment.

Ye Zijin didn't dare to look any more, and hurriedly lowered her head. When she heard Xiaoyue talking about her poor spirits, it was Meng Haoxiang who stayed by her bedside to take care of her. She felt that she owed Meng Haoxiang too much, and felt a little sorry.It's not that she can't feel Meng Haoxiang's sincerity towards her, but she's not sure how she feels about Meng Haoxiang yet.

Meng Haoxiang smiled softly, and said, "There's no moon to look at now, why are your eyesight gone after you recover from illness?"

Ye Zijin looked up in surprise, and sure enough, the crescent moon was covered by wisps of faint dark clouds, and the shadow of the moon was almost invisible.

Ye Zijin was momentarily at a loss for words, but his banter eased the embarrassment between the two.On the opposite side, Meng Haoxiang leaned on the railing lazily and arrogantly and said, "What? You don't want to talk to me, that's why you left in such a hurry? Do you still care about what's said at the dinner table tonight?"

The man's voice was dry and deep, and Ye Zijin seemed to sense a trace of tension in Meng Haoxiang's tone.She didn't answer, in fact, she was also a little nervous, and she was racking her brains to think of a reason to avoid him at the moment, is this considered an escape...

The night wind blows slowly, slightly raising the screen behind the window. For two years, Meng Haoxiang thought he could gradually forget her, but only recently realized that she is an indispensable person in his life. The pain was a hundred times a thousand times, and seeing her in a state of despair, he felt so sorry for her.Maybe Qian Jiang is right, he can't wait like this any longer, since he can't forget it, then fight hard for it.

"Zijin, I've always wanted to ask your permission for something, can I tell you now?" Meng Haoxiang stared at Ye Zijin opposite, that thin figure seemed to disappear into the night at any moment.

Ye Zijin was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly, "Why does Boss Meng need my permission for something?"

The corners of Meng Haoxiang's mouth were slightly raised, his back was straight, and the night wind blew his short black hair into a mess.He paused, and said solemnly: "Miss Ye Zijin, from now on, I'm going to pursue you, is that okay?"

Ye Zijin was stunned, her heart missed a few beats, and her hands were sweating coldly.Under the quiet night sky, the plants and trees in the garden are blurred into clusters of black shadows. As soon as the wind blows, the tassels of the shawl tremble with the flowers and branches. At this moment, the clouds break through and the moon rises, and the hazy halo makes the outline of the iron railings warm and soft stand up.

Seeing Ye Zijin's delay in responding, Meng Haoxiang also had a bad premonition in his heart. In fact, he had already expected a disastrous end, but he still believed Qian Jiang's words--if you don't test, you will never know a woman's true intentions.He watched Ye Zijin's every expression, in her eyes he saw panic, hesitation, and flickering escape.He thought that Zizheng's worries would be lessened after Ye Zijin left, but now it seems that the matter between him and her has nothing to do with her relatives.Maybe she really doesn't like herself, Meng Haoxiang smiled self-deprecatingly, after thinking about it, there is no need to continue to force her to answer, so Yun Danfeng said lightly: "You don't have to answer me now, wait until you think about it one day." Well, tell me again. However, even if you don’t agree, I will pursue you because I love you! Ye Zijin, I have been waiting for you for two years, and I don’t want to wait any longer!”

For some reason, Meng Haoxiang's tone changed from casual to extremely firm. He didn't want to miss her. If fate must make him miss her, the only possibility is that he died...

Seeing Ye Zijin standing there blankly, with her hair blowing back with the wind, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate eyebrows, Meng Haoxiang suddenly couldn't understand her expression, he was already discouraged, and was going to find a step for her and down by yourself.

"I agree." A slight voice sounded, although the voice was small, it was very clear to Meng Haoxiang.

Ye Zijin looked directly at Meng Haoxiang, no longer the dodging and alienation of the past, but a very natural and honest look.

Meng Haoxiang raised his head in astonishment, and his eyes met. The corners of Meng Haoxiang's lips rose slightly, and he let out two joyful laughs. Ye Zijin also looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Ye Zijin once heard that many men in the upper class are only interested in women for a while, and they will not show their sincerity.But Ye Zijin believed that the Meng Haoxiang she saw was not that kind of man. For two years, he had been helping secretly and silently as always. to my heart.

Meng Haoxiang suddenly jumped up, stepped on the railing and leaped to Ye Zijin's side in a big stride. Although it was the second floor, this jump still made Ye Zijin tremble with fear.She didn't expect Meng Haoxiang to jump over suddenly, the speed made her dumbfounded.

Meng Haoxiang pulled Ye Zijin over and hugged her, a pair of smiling eyes were close at hand, Ye Zijin was a little fascinated, she didn't know Meng Haoxiang like this, at this moment he was as happy as a child, the reason for his happiness was simply It was because I agreed that he could pursue me.Thinking of this, Ye Zijin felt both funny and helpless.

"Boss Meng, don't be too happy. I just agree with you to pursue me. I won't agree easily." Ye Zijin said this deliberately to retaliate against his joke just now.

Meng Haoxiang said softly: "You will agree, I know." Then he held Ye Zijin's face, planted a kiss on her lips, and said, "Don't call me Boss Meng anymore, call me Haoxiang, I don't like it when you address me that way."

Ye Zijin blinked, thinking that people from Baohui Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. and gang members all called him Boss Meng, Qian Jiang and Qu Xiangtian called her Big Brother, Ah Cheng called him Brother Xiang, and Mrs. He called him Ah Xiang. It seemed that no one had ever called him. Call him Haoxiang... Ye Zijin hesitated for a while, and finally called out, "Meng... Haoxiang... can you let me go now? This kind of directness is too much."

Meng Haoxiang smiled faintly, and said: "Regret? But the regret doesn't count anymore. Ms. Ye Zijin, I'm pursuing you in my own way. Fortunately, you have studied in a foreign school, so I can't accept this?"

Ye Zijin's cheeks were flushed red, and being held in Meng Haoxiang's arms, her face almost touched his chin. Meng Haoxiang stared at her, his eyes approaching step by step, but Ye Zijin had already retreated steadily.

"I... I didn't mean that... Haoxiang..." Ye Zijin was about to say something, but Meng Haoxiang sealed his mouth again.He bent slightly to kiss her, and Ye Zijin's hands rested on his chest tremblingly.

The sound of water gurgling in the small garden, the ticking of the Western clock in the bedroom, the white screens swaying slightly with the wind, the tassels on the shawl trembling slightly, Ye Zijin slowly closed his eyes, and the tip of his nose lingered with his warm breath. Breathing, thinking of his affectionate and stiff expression when he said those words, a warm current surged in his heart, like the first melting of ice and snow, and the sky cleared after the rain.

I don't know how long it took before Ye Zijin separated from Meng Haoxiang. Ye Zijin panted slightly, and felt that the intoxicated and almost suffocating feeling just now was like a dream.

Meng Haoxiang pushed a strand of her hair back to her shoulders, put a shawl on her again, and said, "Go to bed early, and I'll take you back tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Ye Zijin lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip and said.

When she reacted and asked Meng Haoxiang to go out from her room, Meng Haoxiang had already quickly jumped over the railing and landed steadily on the small balcony of the opposite room.He turned around and waved at Ye Zijin, Ye Zijin nodded shyly, and then slowly walked back into the room.

Pulling the curtain gently, her heart felt uneasy like a deer bumping.Suddenly thinking of Meng Haoxiang's firm eyes at the end, all her uneasiness gradually calmed down again.Only then did Ye Zijin realize that a place in her heart had been quietly occupied by Meng Haoxiang...
