contract marriage

Tang Rui came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe. Warm yellow light came in from a bright corner of the floor-to-ceiling windows. He pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows and stepped on the soft carpet on the open-air balcony with bare feet. He leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands in the black bathrobe pocket.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Sherland patted the empty space beside her, turned her head to Tang Rui and showed a sweet smile: "I was afraid that you would go to sleep directly after taking a shower."

Tang Rui glanced at Sherland's still dripping hair, and his gaze stayed on the beer bottle on the small round table: "Is there any champagne?"

How chattering Sherland was on the road when I went there, how quiet Sherland was when I came back.

There were some small accidents at the wine tasting meeting tonight that caught Sherland by surprise. He hurriedly took a few minutes to take a quick shower, stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the next bedroom and looked in to confirm that Tang Rui was still in the bathroom Did not come out, went to the refrigerator downstairs to grab a few bottles of cold beer, sat on the sofa and called Li Dongna to terminate the cooperation, slowly took out a cigarette, smoked slowly, and slowly waited for Tang Rui to come out.

Sherland walked into the open-air balcony of the bedroom with champagne, soothing and romantic notes wafted in the air, Tang Rui leaned back on the couch against the wall of the balcony, her black satin pajamas were tightly wrapped, and a pair of white skirts were exposed under the knee-length hem. On the calf, the beautiful muscle lines extend all the way to the slender ankle.

Eyes darkened, Sherland helped Tang Rui pour a glass of champagne, sat down next to the man, grabbed the beer on the table and drank more than half of it in one go.

Tang Rui was taken aback by Sherland's appearance of binge drinking: "You are still sick, drink less."

"Are you not angry with me anymore?" The two beautiful eyes were covered with mist, watery, like a lake reflecting the moonlight, and Tang Rui couldn't help laughing at Sherland's tone full of grievances.

Sherland, who always had a somewhat childish look in front of her eyes, was very different from the furious and fierce look at the wine tasting party.

Shaking his head, Tang Rui raised his glass and took a sip of champagne. He seemed to be looking at a certain point in the distance, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything: "Why am I angry with you? If it's because of Zhou Shi'an's attitude, That's between you and your friend, I don't know him well, so I can't be angry."

Sherland clenched the beer bottle slightly, and stared at Tang Rui's side face with a pair of sharp eyes: "Where's Li Dongming?"

Tang Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and Sherland waved her hand: "Listen to me first."

Without talking too much nonsense, Sherland spoke concisely about his relationship with Li Dongming and Li Dongna's request for his help without reservation.

Tapping the beer bottle with his index finger, Sherland's attitude was quite serious: "I really didn't know that Li Dongming would come over suddenly today. Anyway, I apologize to you for what happened tonight."

After all, he took the wine glass and poured himself a glass of champagne, raised it to Tang Rui, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Is this the reason why you married me in the first place?" It's impossible to wonder why Sherland married herself in a fake way. Tang Rui also thought about a few possibilities. After meeting Li Dongming tonight, he calmed down on the way back After that, I also thought about whether it would have something to do with Li Dongming.

Hearing what Sherland said now, I was shocked, but because I felt it was well-founded and I had certain psychological presuppositions, it was not unacceptable.

Sherland nodded, while observing Tang Rui's expression, he hesitated to speak again and again.

Li Dongming and Tang Rui's reactions at the wine tasting party were too violent. Xie Lande could understand Li Dongming's words. After all, that brat Li Dongming has been obsessed with Tang Rui all these years, but why did Tang Rui react so strongly?

His mouth was like chewing a slice of lemon with salt, it was sour and salty. Shelande wanted to ask Tang Rui loudly if he still had feelings for Li Dongming, but he confessed everything to Tang Rui not to increase the barrier between each other. The bitter and sour taste also has to be swallowed in the stomach.

These days, he has figured out Tang Rui's temperament, whether he is soft or hard.

"Are you sure that Li Dongming's decadence in the past few years has something to do with me?" After a moment of silence, Tang Rui looked unbelievable, "How did Li Dongna tell you?"

Although he was somewhat reluctant to mention Li Dongming, but realizing that Tang Rui seemed to have something else to say, Sherland could only be patient, twitched the corners of his lips, and said in a deep voice, "That's what Li Dongna said."

Xie Lande and the others didn't know why Li Dongming ran away from home at first, leaving the good young master Li to wander around. Later, they vaguely knew that there seemed to be a failed relationship, but Li Dongming never mentioned it. After Xie Lande and the others asked a few times I didn't even bother to ask.

Tang Rui suddenly smiled, shook his head, and stopped talking.

A glass of champagne, a glass of champagne, pouring it into my stomach in silence.

Xie Lande frowned, and Tang Rui looked indifferent when he was dumped by Zhou Shi'an. Now because Li Dongming was in a daze and tossing himself with alcohol, he had broken up for so many years. Could it be that Tang Rui was still thinking about it? Li Dongming failed?

Snatching away the wine glass from Tang Rui's hand, with two flames that seemed to explode in his eyes, Sherland's face darkened: "Do you still like him?"

The two gazes falling on Tang Rui were like sharp knives.

I don't know if he drank too much. Tang Rui turned a blind eye to Sherland's cold eyes suppressing anger and jealousy. He squinted his eyes, trying to see the world more clearly.

Exhaling slowly, Tang Rui shook his head: "I just thought of something from the past."

As for the relationship, in fact, it is long gone.

Xie Lande's face turned pale, seeing that Tang Rui seemed a little drunk, he changed his mind, and put the wine glass he had just snatched back into Tang Rui's hand.

Tang Rui looked down at the wine glass, and drank it up in one gulp as if drinking plain water. The tip of his scarlet tongue lightly licked the lower lip where the wine was left, leaving a trail of lustrous water.

Sherland stared at Tang Rui's pale pink lips, caught off guard and had been looking at the distance in a daze. Tang Rui suddenly turned his head, and the eyes of the two met.

The wet lips moved slightly, as if hesitating for a moment, Tang Rui finally looked at Sherland, and smiled suddenly: "There is a mistake."

"Ok?"

Tang Rui's tone was flat: "Li Dongming proposed to break up."

The cool wind at night carried the unknown faint fragrance of flowers in the garden, Tang Rui suddenly wanted to drink, put down the empty wine glass in his hand, grabbed Sherland's beer bottle and hugged it in his arms, as if separated from Li Dongming many years ago Just like one night later, holding the wine bottle, pouring wine into his mouth as if venting.

"He initiated the breakup, and now it sounds like I'm the one who's the culprit," Tang Rui smiled wryly and shook his head, with a rare expression of displeasure and irritation in his words, "This is really ridiculous."

He was so angry that he wanted to laugh. Without his knowledge, the members of the Li family just blamed Li Dongming's decadence for the past few years on him.

"Tang Rui?" Softly calling out the man's name, Sherland tried to put his arm around Tang Rui's shoulder, but the man who was obviously a little drunk didn't respond.

Gently rubbing Tang Rui's shoulder with his fingers, Sherland leaned closer to the man's ear and whispered, "If he doesn't cherish you, then forget about him completely. There's no need to make yourself suffer for him."

Tang Rui didn't know if he had listened. He raised a hand and gently pressed his forehead against his forehead. His eyes were slightly closed. Too many things happened recently.

Victoria's entanglement that almost drove him crazy, the exhaustion and pressure of starting a new career, including Sherland, a nominal husband, and Li Dongming, who hadn't seen him for many years, suddenly appeared this evening.

The pressure has never disappeared, and he just knows how to hide it better than ordinary people. Like a skilled makeup artist, he smears and covers the wound called pressure stroke by stroke. The appearance is glamorous, and the wound and pressure never disappear.

The failed relationship with Li Dongming in college is an old wound that Tang Rui doesn't want to touch. His memory is a gloomy sea, and the low sky is covered with gray and white clouds.

Seeing Li Dongming again after many years, it is very clear that he no longer has the original attachment and love for him, but Li Dongming is like a key, which opens the music box called pain. There is always some pain that cannot be faded by time .

"Why do you love to torment yourself so much?" Sherland suddenly leaned over and kissed Tang Rui hard on the cheek, and he said with a smile, "I don't know if this will make me feel bad too? You touch, this place, twitch The throbbing hurts so much." The hand holding Tang Rui pressed it to his chest.

Sherland said viciously: "I'm going to beat Li Dongming hard now, to vent my anger on you!" He really wanted to beat Li Dongming right now.

A pair of eyes were like ancient wells reflecting the moonlight, deep and bright. Tang Rui tilted his head to look at Sherland, and when he met Sherland's fierce and pity eyes, a strong desire to confide out of his chest uncontrollably, like Shen The volcano that had been dormant for a long time suddenly erupted.

His lips trembled slightly like two petals in the wind, Tang Rui suddenly laughed, and before Sherland recovered from the soft and relieved smile, Tang Rui talked about him as if talking to himself. Some things in college.

The acquaintance between Tang Rui and Li Dongming is like an old-fashioned love story. As a senior who is about to graduate, Tang Rui occasionally spares time to talk about his life and study experience for his juniors. Tang Rui met Li Dongming, a freshman.

I am about to graduate from my senior year, and I am busy with my thesis and work at the same time.Compared with most of the classmates who are still looking for jobs, Tang Rui has already partnered with Ralph to prepare their first restaurant. Li Dongming always helps out before and after running, sending Tang Rui to work every morning, and every night no matter what No matter how late he would be waiting for Tang Rui to get off work.

No matter how Tang Rui refused, Li Dongming always shook his head with a smile and said: I'm really not tired, I just want to see my senior.

In the third month of their acquaintance, Li Dongming confessed his love to Tang Rui, and they started dating.Tang Rui is mature and stable, and Li Dongming is gentle and considerate. They talked about study and life together, and even began to imagine their future life.

The days are plain but very satisfying.
