Apricot blossom spring rain and snow season

Chapter 40
When I walk into the office refreshed.Seeing this, Dahai asked me strangely: "Ziqi, are you alright?"

I made a fighting posture towards him, smiled and went to work.

The battle I was looking forward to did not start as expected.For several days, the weather was calm.Ning Qing brought a bouquet of flowers every day and came to ask me out every day.

If I can't be with Yi, if I can't be happy with him.Then, I will put this love in my heart and hide it well, and my life is still going on.

Doesn't China's marriage statistics say that more than 50.00% of marriages are marriages without love?Marriage does not have to have love.Every couple will call each other "husband" when they get old.Wife, wife, partner when old.It's just to find someone to cook with, and have a baby to put your feelings on, so that the house will be empty and unpopular.

If there is one person in this marriage who loves each other, it is at least ten times stronger than a marriage without love at all.

I am a selfish and realistic little woman, I would rather choose to be loved.What's more, I have already discovered that apart from Yi, I really can't love.

When I took the initiative to call Ning Qing for the first time, my heart throbbed.If Yi felt it, would his heart ache?Ignore this feeling.I quickly asked Ning Qing to have dinner.

Contrary to what I imagined, Ning Qing seemed hesitant, a little unwilling to believe, as if he was thinking about something, he paused for a long time and said, "Ziqi, are you asking me out for dinner?"

"If you have time and will."

Ning Qing said, "Zi Qi, did you promise me?"

I'm dizzy, what is this?Eating a meal is equivalent to agreeing to marry him?To be honest, I'm not ready yet.I hurriedly said: "If you don't want to, forget it, and pretend I didn't say it."

Ning Qing quickly replied: "I'll pick you up after get off work."

Alas, why are you so tired with Ning Qing?I looked at the picture of my mother on the desk and felt sad, "Mother, what should I do right?"

Or, just agree to Ning Qing?But I was struggling in my heart, and I always felt that it was not time to give up completely.

Sitting with Ning Qing in the western restaurant, I wonder why he chose the western restaurant.When I eat Western food, I am always full at the time and hungry afterwards.

Watching Ning Qing eat Western food is enjoyable, and his elegant movements fit his image too well.Maybe Ning Qing thinks that when eating Western food, you only hear the sound of knives and forks, and you can chew with your mouth closed so you can talk less.

I feel bored and eat a meal in silence.The environment of a western restaurant is very good, but the environment depends on the mood of the person when eating, doesn't it?Ning Qing sat across from me quietly, I think it would be more comfortable to eat a big bowl of noodles.I tried to communicate with Ning Qing: "Do you usually like to eat like this?"

Ning Qing smiled slightly: "Yes, it's quiet here."

I couldn't help talking: "I like to go to roadside stalls and small restaurants with my colleagues and friends. It's lively and joking, and the decibels must be controlled here."

Ning Qing still smiled: "Really? So unhygienic."

Roll your eyes secretly, hygienic?He was talking about the same topic as me?I kept looking for something to say: "Ning Qing, how do you usually play?"

Ning Qing smiled unchanged: "I'm tired of work and read books and surf the Internet, but I don't have much time to read books and surf the Internet."

I immediately sketched out a picture in my mind: married Ning Qing, when he came home, I greeted him: "You're back?"

He replied with an "um", and then fell silent. After reading books and surfing the Internet, the two of them had nothing to say and were extremely bored.

It's scary just thinking about it.Suddenly, I felt that Shi and Ning Qing had no common language.Just like that, I finished the meal with Ning Qing in silence.

Ning Qing was driving, I didn't ask him what program he would have next, just let him go, I'm not interested in knowing.Ning Qing drove the car all the way up Tenglong Mountain, and opened the skylight at the top of the mountain.He put down his seat and said to me, "Ziqi, look at the stars in the sky."

I lay down and looked at the sky.The sky is clear tonight.The stars are bright and densely covered the sky.The number is also countless.A lingering song was played in the car, English song, I don't quite understand it, only the melody is soft.This is also very romantic, right?First is the western restaurant, and then watching the stars.Will there be flowers next?and kiss?Eyes facing each other, discharge?I thought about it, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I was awakened by Ning Qing.Open your eyes, you are at the door.I blushed: "Sorry, fell asleep."

Ning Qing smiled and said, "Go back quickly."

When I got out of the car to say goodbye to him, he suddenly said, "You're snoring," and walked away.

I blushed and wanted to find a hole to drill.

The next day, the God of the Sea asked me mysteriously: "How was your date yesterday? I heard from Xiao Ruo that the route was very romantic."

I nodded and said, "Of course there is an atmosphere, the atmosphere of a western restaurant, lying in the car on the top of Tenglong Mountain and watching the stars."

The more Dahai listened, the more excited he became: "And then?"

I gave him a blank look: "I fell asleep."

Dahai immediately began to imagine: "Wow, Ning Qing saw the woman she usually likes lying beside her like a Sleeping Beauty, reflecting the starry sky, and couldn't help kissing her pretty face lightly. At this moment, Sleeping Beauty woke up with a shy look in her eyes. , slowly close your eyes, and then..."

I interrupted his flirting in time: "Then I snored."

Dahai didn't even take a breath, and burst into a choked laugh: "I said Ziqi, you actually snore while falling asleep in such a romantic environment? You have failed Xiao Ruo's design and Ning Qing's intention too much."

At this moment, I am still embarrassed to say it, but my mouth refuses to give in: "You should be glad that I didn't grind my teeth."

The sea laughed out loud.

The stars, the music, and the man who likes you are accompanied affectionately and are about to confide in their hearts. The other party is snoring and sleeping soundly, with teeth chattering. This scene is neither creepy nor emotional.Thinking of this, I also laughed.

Dating with Ning Qing became frequent.However, I no longer go to western restaurants, but eat all kinds of restaurants that I love.Ning Qing is actually very knowledgeable, and he is not boring at all when he is active.I sigh again, people really have more than one personality.

If it continues like this, it would be an ordinary happiness to be with him forever, right?

Going to and from work, I eat and play with Ning Qing and Xiao Ruohai from time to time.After work, I went back to the small nest I rented, played online games, and drew pictures.

Dahai often listens to me under Xiaoruo's order.I do not know how to answer.I seem to be vaguely looking forward to Yi's appearance, and I seem to be able to get along with Ning Qing forever.

Yi seemed to have disappeared.The boss didn't mention Yuntian again.It was as if I had never been to City B. I hadn't seen him in four years, and I was back to the original track of life.It's like a dream, it's gone when you wake up.

I can't believe it's that simple.I called Juanzi.Juanzi is my childhood friend. She has played with me since she was a child, and she knows Yi and me well. As long as I hear her voice, my mood will be stable.I said to Juanzi, "I always feel terribly peaceful."

Juanzi comforted me: "Ziqi, you know that you have been away from him for four years. You have changed a lot in these four years, and he must have changed a lot. You are worrying too much."

"But Juanzi, he called that night, thick-skinned and rascal."

"Ziqi, you are so cute when teasing you, you just don't know it. I especially love to see you when you are in a hurry, your eyes are wide open, you are as good as you were when you were a child, and you don't look like a woman who is going to be three .”

I was eager to ask for confirmation: "You mean Yi was just teasing me? He threatened me with his words."

Juanzi sighed: "That's because you are too afraid of him. When you see the wind, it rains. So who is so unreasonable? Zhan Yunyi can survive in a big family and hold great power. He is not irrational."

Yeah?Is Yi just kidding me?He is surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women, does he still care about me?My heart is sad.Empty.Yi doesn't love me anymore, does he?He was just teasing me like a child.Then tell yourself, isn't this what you want?Aren't you afraid of going back to him, afraid of losing yourself?

I am really contradictory, I see the vanity and selfishness in my heart.

I carefully analyzed myself, I have been away for four years, but deep down I never thought about whether he loved me or not.Once he gave up, I felt a deep sense of loss.I don't know if other women have this kind of ambivalence.

After thinking for a long time, I finally made up my mind.Yi and I are not suitable.In this way, it's okay, wait to get acquainted with Ning Qing step by step, to the extent that you can get married, and then get married, and regard everything in the past as the past.

The company invites friendly units for year-end dinners and requires employees to bring their families to participate.Ning Qing took the initiative to come to the door: "Zi Qi, your company sent me an invitation, can you be my girlfriend?"

Can I say no?People who stretch out their hands and don't hit the smiling faces, let alone Ning Qing, I can only say thank you when he asks like this.Thank him for understanding me and avoiding the embarrassment of being alone. At the age of 27, she can already be called an old aunt.On such an occasion, if you have a companion, there will be fewer topics to be discussed.Besides, people in the company have long been familiar with Ning Qing.

Before the dinner party, I received flowers and packages from the courier company.The flower is dancing orchid.The flowers trembled in the breeze, so light that they seemed to fly.I opened the package and saw a silver evening dress, very beautiful.I was moved by Ning Qing's thoughtfulness.I called him: "Ning Qing, thank you for the flowers."

Ning Qing said: "As long as you like it, I will pick you up then."

I changed into my silver evening dress and looked at myself in the mirror.The woman in the mirror has a clear and long neck, revealing a beautiful collarbone. The dress seems to be a little bigger, and she has lost weight these days, but it makes her waist thinner.I smiled pitifully at the mirror, pulled up my hair, thought about it, and inserted a sprig of dancing orchids that Ning Qing had given me.

Sure enough, Ning Qing's eyes lit up when he saw me, his clothes matched my dress very well.No matter how I look at it, I feel like he is wearing a couple outfit.

Ning Qing said, "Zi Qi, you are so beautiful."

I'm ashamed, I deliberately pinned the dancing orchid, I know Ning Qing will be very happy.Am I really pushing myself towards him step by step?

I hear compliments from men that women love to hear.It turns out that I am also a beauty.I don't know if it will amaze the audience tonight?I have to pay attention to my appearance, if Dahai dares to treat me as rough as usual tonight, I will definitely not blurt out swear words.I want Si Swenwen to remind him to be gentle with ladies.I thought about it, and there must have been a meaningful smile on the corner of my mouth.Because Ning Qing asked me with a smile: "Ziqi, what are you thinking? Is there anything good?"

I hurriedly sat upright: "No." I denied it.How can such things be revealed.Anyway, tonight I want to be reserved and be a lady.

Ning Qing said: "I have a good thing tonight."

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes." Ning Qing kept a secret and refused to say anything.

I think there is a kind of light on his face, a kind of radiance like happiness and anticipation.

When I walked to the hotel door, Ning Qing thoughtfully helped me take off my cloak.I walked in holding his hand.The stingy boss finally made a big deal at the end of the year and bought the most luxurious clubhouse in C City.Inside is already the shadow of clothes and temples.Hey, the little girls in the company are all dressed up like flowers and jade.

When the boss selected employees, he told us that although people should not look good, it is definitely flawed if they are not beautiful.This customer service person is not pretty, how can the customer have the energy to build a good relationship with you?Those who do outreach are not beautiful, and communication is the problem.As for those who do business, they must be beautiful, and they can get twice the result with half the effort.Therefore, as an entertainment company that is at the forefront of fashion, it must be a company that handsome men and beautiful women are eager to join.Therefore, our company can become one of the largest companies in the country. These are the knowledge.

We are convinced by what we have said.Let's just say that today's scene is pleasing to the eye.The friendship with other units will also be more harmonious because of so many eye-catching flowers and plants.

I saw Hai Hai and Xiao Ruo in the crowd.Today Dahai's attire is formal, and he looks like a dog in a suit.Xiao Ruo stood with him, a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

Ning Ruo saw that we were busy pulling the sea over.I raised my head slightly, straightened my waist, and welcomed them with a shallow smile.I thought to myself, if this expression doesn't shock you, I won't be called Tang Ziqi!Sure enough, Dahai opened his mouth: "Hey, the lady from that family?"

I ignored him, and said to Xiao Ruo: "It's too right for you to stand with Hai Hai. Xiao Ruo, today is so beautiful!"

Xiao Ruo smiled sweetly: "Sister Ziqi is pretty, isn't she, bro?"

Ning Qing smiled and said, "Yes, you two are the most beautiful ladies in the audience today."

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.I smiled proudly towards the sea.

Dahai smiled back at me, why is this smile so weird?I only heard Dahai say: "Ning Qing, don't you mind if I borrow Ziqi first?" After speaking, he led me to the corner.

I wondered: "What's the matter?"

Dahai thought for a while and said, "Ziqi, you have to be prepared. Tonight, Ning Qing is going to propose in public."

"Isn't it? The sea." I was very surprised.Recalling Ning Qing's previous expression, I felt somewhat convinced.However, on such an occasion, if he doesn't communicate with me in advance, what should I do?
"Xiao Ruo told me. I persuaded her, but Ning Qing had a different idea." Dahai hurriedly explained.

"Why?" Ning Qing, how could Ning Qing, who is calm and gentle, pose a problem to me in public?Is it because of my performance that he has such confidence?

"Because..." Dahai was about to say, when the boss on the rostrum said, "Leaders and guests, welcome to come..."

I have never thought that the boss’s mouth is called a crow’s mouth. I only heard half-spoken words later, the boss said: "Tiandi Entertainment has reached a strategic partnership with Sky Group, and now we welcome Mr. Zhan Yunyi, Executive Chairman of Sky Group, to give a speech."

I saw that familiar figure walking to the front of the stage, but I didn't hear what he said clearly at all.I just feel that all this is far away from me.I was watching the fire from the other side. The things in front of me, the voices of people, and the environment were all far away from me.I'm not in it.

I stood dumbfounded.I saw Yi looking at me, and I saw a smile on the corner of his mouth.Oh, Juanzi, you are wrong, we are all wrong.Zhan Yunyi is not a wolf, he is a hunter, and I am his prey, always have been.He never changed his goal.

A thought suddenly popped up in my mind, and I looked back at Ning Qing.

He stood calmly, not surprised at all.I understand why Ning Qing wants to propose in public.He wanted me to make a choice in front of Zhan Yunyi on such an occasion.

Yi is here, how can I speak?Once I agree in public, can I regret it afterwards?My mind suddenly became a mess.I looked around and wanted to leave the reception, I didn't want to embarrass myself in a situation I didn't figure out.

I quietly ran towards the door, and Ning Qing blocked me in a few steps. He smiled and stretched out his hand: "May I have the honor to invite you to dance?"

I froze for a moment, and the music started.I looked at him fixedly, turned my head slightly, and met Yi's gaze.With a heartbeat, I handed over to Ning Qing.

He took me to dance like a gentleman.Some people say that women don't actually need to be able to dance, as long as their male partners can lead them.This is how it is now, under Ning Qing's guidance, my dancing posture is light and my steps are not chaotic.I raised my head slightly and danced with Ning Qing with a smile.Ning Qing asked me softly: "Ziqi, are you willing to marry me?"

I messed up my steps and disrupted the rhythm.He still spoke.I stopped: "Ning Qing, you are taking advantage of the fire!"

As soon as he closed his arms, he hugged me tighter: "Yes, I'm afraid there is no better opportunity than this."

This is the gentle and jade-like Ning Qing I know, the modest and gentleman-like Ning Qing?He already knew everything.Just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity I didn't choose.He was sure I had no choice.

I stopped and said, "Ning Qing, do you know that if you lose the bet, you will lose your original capital?"

Ning Qing's eyes flickered with an unfamiliar look, and he said indifferently: "If I don't gamble, I will never have a chance."

I turned to leave the dance floor.At this time, Zhan Yunyi walked towards us.A black dress outlines his slender figure, and the eyes on Jun Lang's face are like the stars on Mount Tenglong.Ning Qing is gentle and elegant, while he is like a jade tree facing the wind.Seeing him, I subconsciously took Ning Qing's arm.After doing this action, I thought, Ning Qing's guess is really right, I have no choice.

Yi came over and greeted Ning Qing politely.His eyes fell on me, he smiled suddenly, and said, "Ziqi, I don't think my taste is too bad, and the dress I chose for you is not too bad."

MG!This is the dress he sent?I thought it was sent by Ning Qing.I don't know how to answer, I just want to take off this dress immediately.Just when my face turned pale, I heard Ning Qing say to Yi: "Thank you for taking care of Ziqi." Ning Qing spoke very slowly, but his voice was very clear.

I saw the eyes of people around me turn to this side.Yi said politely: "It's not bad, I haven't forgotten Ziqi's size." He looked at me presumptuously while talking.

God knows, Zhan Yunyi and I are innocent, he definitely did it on purpose to lead people into misunderstanding, why is he such a hooligan! ?I was shaking with anger, but I couldn't explain it.

Ning Qing helped me out: "Mr. Zhan wants to visit countless people, so he has a unique vision. Thank you on behalf of Ziqi."

"Then, can I dance with Miss Tang?" Yi asked with a smile?
I just stood there without thinking, without awareness.I just felt my body tense, and Yi had already led me onto the dance floor.I reacted with a struggle.Yi smiled lightly, "Zi Qi, if you move around again, I'll kiss you."

I looked at him angrily, my face was bloodshot with anger.Yi hugged him even tighter, and my body was close to him.His mouth was close to my ear and he said: "Don't struggle, it's not good-looking, I just want to dance with you, you are so beautiful tonight." I was passively led away by him, farther and farther away from the crowd.

I know that Ning Qing and the others must be watching me, but what can I do?What can I do?Turning around the pillar, Yi pulled me to the balcony.I pushed him away hard and stepped back, leaning my back against the wall.Yi put his hands together, trapping me in front of his chest.I had no way out, I looked at Yi's smug expression, I was so angry that I kicked him in the vitals.He backed away in pain.I ran out quickly.I haven't forgotten to look back at him.

Yi had a painful expression on his face, looking at me, he wished he could eat me.I didn't have time to pay attention to him, and turned back to the banquet hall.I thought to myself: "Little boy, think I'm really a rabbit? A rabbit will bite when it's anxious, hum!"

Seeing me, Shi Shiran, come back, a smile bloomed on Ning Qing's face.He suddenly said loudly: "Today, I have something to announce at the banquet held by Tiandi Entertainment. I solemnly propose to Ms. Tang Ziqi, and she has promised that we will get married soon. I hope everyone will come to watch the ceremony."

There were bursts of screams and cheers in the banquet hall.Going to a banquet and getting such gossip entertainment, why not cheer for the occasion?

But the development of things is completely beyond my expectation.I fully understand what it means to be a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back, so I escape from the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den again.Can't you just let me stop for a while?

I stayed where I was, not knowing how I should respond.Ning Qing announced it in public without discussing it with me.He really gave me a huge problem.

If I say yes, it goes against my heart.Ning Qing and I haven't reached the point where we don't marry non-qing.When I say there is no such thing, I refute Ning's face, Xiao Ruo's face, and Da Hai's face face to face.Ning Qing, Ning Ruo, and Da Hai are all people I don't want to hurt.

Ning Qing stood in front of me with a look of affection.When I turned around, Yi leaned against the pillar, showing a sneer.I looked at Ning Qing, it turned out that he is also such a seasoned person, he has calculated this day, calculated for Yi to appear, calculated - I can only follow his script to him.

Ning Qing walked up to me: "Want to talk to me?"

What can I do, say I don't want to, reject him in public, and wait for Zhan Yunyi to come over?He watched my every move not far away.I followed Ning Qing out subconsciously.Talk to him as well, I don't want to embarrass myself.
