Soft temptation

Cheng Lei took the elevator to the top floor of Zhou's.

The person in the president's office told him that Zhou Yuetian was busy and was talking to someone about something, and asked him to wait outside first.

He could only wait outside with the news he had just received.

Waiting and waiting, Cheng Lei couldn't wait any longer.

He took out his phone and wanted to ask someone, but after looking through the list, he found that among the people in their circle, the one with the best relationship with Lou Ruan was Zhou Yuetian.

If Zhou Yuetian didn't know, it was even less likely that they would know.

You can't ask these people anything.

Cheng Lei found Lou Ruan's WeChat, and he clicked into Lou Ruan's circle of friends, but there was still an empty straight line, nothing.

I don't know if it was deleted or not.

Cheng Lei sat by the coffee table on the top floor, almost expecting to see a red exclamation mark, and sent a message to Lou Ruan:

[I heard you are married? 】

Huh, sent it?

Cheng Lei looked at the sent message with some surprise, but blocked it instead of deleting it.

But Lou Ruan hasn't replied yet.

Cheng Lei sat there waiting patiently, waiting for the people from Zhou Yuetian's office to come out, and waiting for Lou Ruan to reply to the message.

-

The black Cullinan stopped in front of a Chinese-style house.

Seeing him stop, Lou Ruan stretched out his hand to unbuckle his seat belt.

Xie Yanli turned his head and glanced, "Here we are, let's go and have a look first."

"The old man asked someone to repair it before, and he hasn't lived in it since it was repaired."

Lou Ruan opened the car door, and Xie Yanli also got out of the car.

He came around from behind her, stood in front of the combination lock in front of the door, and entered a series of numbers. The door lock clicked and opened.

"Someone cleans here regularly, Jasmine should be on at this time..."

Xie Yanli said as he opened the gate of the quaint house, Lou Ruan looked in, and in his eyes was the jasmine at the end of the pebble.

They bloom in the shadow of a huge linden tree, with dappled light and shadows falling on them, with drooping inflorescences and long and narrow leaves.

"It's so beautiful." Lou Ruan looked at them and couldn't help saying.

Xie Yanli smiled and reminded, "Threshold."

Lou Ruan said "um", stepped over the threshold and stepped into the courtyard.

Unlike the simple and grand style of Xie's old house, this house is designed in favor of Suzhou gardens.

Turning around is the round arched door, red camellias are falling down, rushing to bloom on the branches, the white walls are cool and the breeze is blowing, and the shadows of the flowers are whirling.

Lou Ruan followed Xie Yanli and walked forward, and saw the pond in the courtyard. There were various fishes that Lou Ruan didn't know were swimming in the clear water.

The pond draws running water, and the flowing water murmurs.There are jasmine petals falling on the water, white petals, green water, red fish, leisurely and quiet.

"Go up there and have a look?" Xie Yanli turned to look at her.

Lou Ruan stood by the water, her slender reflection was reflected on the water, she brushed her hair lightly, and nodded.

She and Xie Yanli walked up the steps side by side, and said curiously, "This house seems to be bigger and better than the old one. Why doesn't Grandpa always come here?"

It's not that she's too curious.

It is a huge contrast between the two houses.

Xie's old house is definitely the most simple old mansion of a wealthy family she has ever seen.

Xie Yanli pushed open the door and smiled slightly, "Grandma bought this house when she was ill. She liked it very much. Grandpa hired someone to build it with a lot of money. He also asked someone to grow her favorite red camellia and Chusi Jasmine."

"After the house was built, grandma left."

"The house has been empty."

Lou Ruan let out a low "ah", followed Xie Yanli's side, and whispered, "Then how can we live here..."

Xie Yanli walked beside her and turned to look at her.

She raised her eyes, her slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her fair face became wrinkled.

He wanted to raise his hand to smooth it out, but thought that they didn't seem to have that relationship, so he gave up.

"He opened his mouth," Xie Yanli raised his head slightly and said, "Let's just take a look and see what you mean."

Lou Ruan quickly said: "No, no, we can't live here. This house is so meaningful to grandpa, we can't live here."

Xie Yanli smiled, "If he knows that you won't stay here after hearing this, he will beat me to death when I go back."

Lou Ruan tilted her head to look at him, "Grandpa won't hit people, right?"

"Why not," Xie Yanli opened a door casually, "I have been beaten a lot before."

After speaking, he turned his head to look inside again, and briefly introduced, "Grandma used to be an architect, and this room was originally intended to be her studio."

Lou Ruan followed him and saw a huge sunken wooden desk and various books.

A yellowed copy of "History of Western Architecture" lay quietly by my hand.

There is no dust on it, and someone has cleaned it regularly.

Lou Ruan stood in front of the book and gently opened the pages.

On the title page is written in delicate small seal script:

[Department of Architecture, Huaqing University

Gu Ningwan]

It's a beautiful name, and it's beautifully written.

Xie Yanli lowered his eyes and looked over, his lips curled into a smile, and his voice was elegant and pleasant, "Do you know why the old man likes you?"

Lou Ruan turned to look at him.

Xie Yanli tilted his head slightly, narrowed his long and dark eyes slightly, and said with a light smile jokingly: "You are his wife's junior sister."

-

Lou Ruan and Xie Yanli ran to several places, looked at several houses, and their eyes were almost blurred.

Except for the one that has special meaning to grandparents, they have carefully considered every set.

Each set has its own advantages. They are all good houses, and it is impossible to choose them.

In the end, Xie Yanli made the final decision and chose a villa in Linjiang.

The river is in front, and the Eshan Park behind is a little bit remote, but the advantage is the beautiful environment.

And Lou Ruan doesn't plan to go to work anymore, she plans to paint at home, that house is very suitable for creation.

After the house was settled, Xie Yanli hired a designer.

Lou Ruan sat in front of the designer, talking softly about the needs and desired style.

Xie Yanli watched for a while, then went out to make a phone call.

When he came back, Lou Ruan had already finished discussing with the designer.

Seeing him walk in, the two of them asked him what he meant.

"I'm done talking, you can tell the designer what you think, if there's anything you don't like, we'll discuss it later." Lou Ruan raised her head to look at him, her fair face slightly raised, her eyes were clear and clean, like a beautiful cat. Well-behaved cat.

For a moment, Xie Yanli wanted to reach out and pinch her face.

The designer sitting opposite Lou Ruan also put down his teacup, and looked at Xie Yanli, "Mr. Xie, this is our current proposal, please take a look."

As he spoke, he pushed a document in front of Xie Yanli.

Xie Yanli sat down next to Lou Ruan, without even looking at the proposal, he raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Don't read it, it's all up to my wife."

Lou Ruan and the designer looked at him together.

The designer had obvious envy on his face, "The relationship between the two is really good."

Xie Yanli smiled, and tilted his head to look at Lou Ruan, the perfect outline seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light, which was extraordinarily gentle and trembling, "It seems that you like the jasmine and camellia in Fengheyuan very much, I let you Someone sent some over to plant in the backyard, okay?"
