"Where are you going?" Li Qing lowered her head slightly and looked out through the window. As the night fell, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians in the street.

The car just turned a corner at this moment. Li Qing suddenly saw the sign at the crossroads.

Changde Road.

Li Qing's body suddenly stiffened. He turned his head and looked at Xie Zhongbo around him. He wanted to talk and stopped.

Xie Zhongbo's face was an unfathomable and wonderful expression: "brother, come here. Go in and have a seat."

Li Qing was silent.

72 Changde Road, where murouer lives. When Li QingChu returned to Lingang, he also spent an unforgettable time in this villa.

"I didn't tell you in advance," Xie Zhongbo whispered. "I'm afraid you won't come if you know."

Li Qing said slowly, "my relationship with her is not so cold."

"I know." Xie Zhongbo nodded and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "but after all, it's a thing of the past. It's not easy to face."

"Is that what she means?"

"Yes." Xie Zhongbo nodded again. "Sister rou'er said that if she came to ask you out, it would be too abrupt, so she wanted me to talk to you. But later, I thought, it would be better to bring you directly. If you were too clear, it would embarrass everyone."

Li Qing asked, "what does she want to do?"

Xie Zhongbo glanced over at Li Qing: "brother, you really look heartless when you ask."

"It's not heartless. I'm really curious." Li Qing looked sincere. "To tell you the truth, I met her the day before the negotiation meeting. At that time... Alas, how to say."

"Then don't say it. Don't show your feelings casually." the car stopped in front of the villa at 72 Changde Road. Xie Zhongbo took the lead in opening the door. When he was about to get off, he took a deep look at Li Qing, "I don't know sister rouer's intention."

He then got out of the car, stepped up the steps, stood in front of the door and solemnly arranged his clothes.

When Li Qing opened the door and was about to get off, the driver suddenly raised his hand and handed over a bunch of flowers: "Mr. Li, our young master is ready for you."

Li Qing was slightly stunned and stared at the beautiful white flowers: "what kind of flower is this?"

"I don't know..." the driver hesitated slightly and said uncertain, "it seems to be hyacinth."

"Oh, thank you." Li Qing reached out and got out of the car.

He stood under the steps at the door of the villa with a hesitant face. Xie Zhongbo looked back at him, smiled gently, and then raised his hand to ring the doorbell.

After waiting for a while, the door opened gently, and mu rouer, with an apron around her waist, appeared at the door. On her exquisite cheek, she smiled sweetly: "Zhongbo."

"Sister rou'er." Xie Zhongbo smiled softly, turned and waved to Li Qing, "brother, do you stand so far and count the stars?"

Li Qing turned her head to face mu rouer's four eyes at the door, and a smile slowly appeared on her cheeks.

He stepped up the steps, handed the flowers in his hand, and gently called, "rou'er."

"HMM." Mu rou'er answered softly with a nasal voice, took the bouquet of flowers and held it in her arms, "come in quickly. What are you doing standing outside the door?"

Li Qing and Xie Zhongbo looked at each other, and they walked into the room.

Xie Zhongbo raised his head, sniffed in the room, smiled and asked, "sister rou'er, what have you done to eat? Just smell the taste, my saliva will drip down."

"You are a greedy ghost." Mu rou'er hummed gently, turned and inserted the bunch of white flowers into the vase on the table, "hyacinth, it's the flowers bought by Zhongbo."

Mu rouer turned and stared at Xie Zhongbo, with a smile on her lips. Her eyes were bright and full of meaningful brilliance.

Xie Zhongbo felt his nose awkwardly and smiled twice: "sister rou'er, this flower is clearly in brother Qing's hand. How can you guess it was sent by me."

"He won't send me hyacinth." Mu rouer wrinkled Qiong's nose, glanced at Li Qing, turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen, "wash your hands and have dinner right away."

Xie Zhongbo stood stiff in place, his back taut. A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, which made Li Qing's eyes flash a trace of confusion.

"What's the matter?" Li Qing walked up to Xie Zhongbo and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah, nothing." Xie Zhongbo woke up like a dream and said with a smile, "wash your hands and go help."

When the voice fell, Xie Zhongbo went straight to the washroom. Leaving Li Qing standing in place, she turned her head and looked deeply at the bunch of white flowers on the table.

It was not until a long time later that Li Qing suddenly realized that the flower language of white hyacinth was a love that he did not dare to show, representing the deepest secret love. However, at this moment, Li Qing can't find out the mystery between the three people.

Li Qing walked slowly to the kitchen. He leaned quietly at the door and looked at mu rouer, who was busy in the rising water vapor.

"What's the matter?" Mu rou'er glanced at Li Qing. "You see I'm so nervous."

"Ha ha." Li Qing smiled, "this scene is like a fairy coming down to earth and involving the fireworks of the world of mortals."

Mu rou'er giggled, "did you put honey on your mouth before you came?"

After washing his hands, Xie Zhongbo went to the kitchen door and asked with a smile, "what are you talking about? So happy?"

Li Qingzheng was about to open his mouth. Mu rouer's beautiful eyes glanced at him, and a trace of shame appeared on his pretty face: "have you washed your hands? Go, go!"

"Zhongbo, take this to the table. Don't just stand."

Xie Zhongbo nodded hurriedly, "well, there's no reason to eat without working."

"Ha ha ha, she can't help boasting." Li Qing smiled and turned to wash his hands. He walked back to the restaurant. Plates of exquisite dishes have been put on the table.

Xie Zhongbo opened a bottle of red wine. Mu rouer was dividing the dishes. She raised her little face and greeted Li Qing with a smile: "come to dinner."

"HMM." Li Qing nodded, came over and opened a chair to sit down.

Three people sat around the table, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

When the meal was about to finish, Xie Zhongbo's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Sorry, I'll answer the phone."

Xie Zhongbo went out of the restaurant and turned back after a while. He said with an apologetic look: "something happened to me. I have to go a little earlier."

Li Qing tried to stand up. Mu rouer's pretty little face suddenly felt a chill: "if you want to go, I won't stay."

The body was slightly stiff, and Li Qing sat down slowly: "I'm really not busy today, not at all."

Xie Zhongbo grinned: "sorry, I'm in a hurry."

"Well, you go. Work is important." Mu rouer said with a smile. The cold expression disappeared in an instant.

"Well, I'll go first." Xie Zhongbo picked up his clothes from his chair, waved to Li Qing and mu rouer, turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Li Qing turned to look at the door of the restaurant until there was a sound of closing the door. Then he turned his mouth and shouted, "is this boy intentional?"

"What?"

"Ah, nothing." Li Qing waved his hand and turned back to stare at mu rouer's beautiful cheek.

"I have something to tell you." Mu rouer took a sip from her tall glass. "According to my father, I will be an independent director of Hong Kong North International next week. So next, we may work together for a long time and take care of it."

Li Qing was surprised and opened his mouth: "really?"

"Really."

"Oh." Li Qing nodded, "it seems that uncle Mu intended you to take over the affairs of Hong Kong North International. I have to say that your negotiation level was very good that day."

Mu rouer stared at Li Qing angrily: "you're sarcastic about me."

Li Qing but couldn't smile.

"However, I still want to thank you for your care that day. Dad said it was more appropriate for me to negotiate on his behalf at the beginning. I didn't understand it until the moment when I signed the temporary contract." Mu rouer smiled and raised her glass. "I took advantage of you and made amends to you."

"That's very kind." Li Qing also picked up the glass and gently touched mu rou'er. He immediately looked up and drank the red wine in the glass.

"Alas." Mu rouer put down her glass and sighed gently, "I didn't expect that one day we would sit here as friends and be polite to each other."

Li Qing wanted to say something, but mu rouer just stretched out her jade hand and put it in front of Li Qing.

Seeing that she picked up the bottle and added half a glass of red wine, Li Qing hurriedly said, "drink less."

Mu rou'er raised her head. Maybe it was due to the effect of alcohol. Her pretty face turned a faint crimson: "are you afraid of me losing my temper after drinking?"

The corners of his mouth gently pulled, but Li Qing didn't know what to say. He knew very well that the harm he had caused to this woman could not be made up in this life.

After Xie Zhongbo left, only Li Qing and mu rouer were left in the empty villa, and the atmosphere became more and more heavy.

"I thought about what you said yesterday." Mu rou'er shook the high foot glass in her hand and opened her red lips. "Li Qing, you're right. I've always been centered on you for so many years. It's really ridiculous. Maybe the more I value something, the less I can get it. I'm not worth pitying."

The more she said so, Li Qingyue was full of guilt.

"Cheers." Mu rouer's mouth suddenly burst into a heartfelt smile, "Li Qing, tonight will be my birthday."

Li Qing had thousands of words blocked in his heart, but in the end he only turned into two dull words: "congratulations."

He took up his glass, touched it gently with mu rou'er, and drank up the wine with his head up. In the soft light, I stared at the beautiful woman in front of me. It was like a dream to read the past 30 years.

Her cry, her smile and layers of memories will turn into a gurgling trickle and flow quietly in Li Qing's heart.
