contract marriage

Tang Rui dreamed that he was swept into the deep sea by the monstrous waves, he couldn't breathe for a while, his hands and limbs were tightly entangled by monsters in the deep sea, something greasy like tentacles got into his mouth, licked again looking at his body.

Shame and anger wrapped him tightly, and what was even more frightening was that when the giant octopus wrapped him up, he felt very secure and satisfied. It was a wonderful sense of security, so much so that when Tang Rui woke up, At that time, I lay on the bed with my eyes open and stared at the ceiling for half an hour before getting up slowly.

I drank too much last night, and when I went to the bathroom, I was top-heavy, my legs were as soft as two noodles, and what was even more strange was the burning pain in the inner side of my thighs, with some faint redness, as if it had been rubbed by something.

"..." Tang Rui sat by the bathtub, spread his legs, and applied ointment, his face turned white and red.

He clearly remembered that he had a drink with Sherland last night.

There was no sign of Sherland downstairs, Tang Rui was inexplicably relieved, and then laughed at himself in his heart, even if it was embarrassing, it should be Sherland's embarrassment.

Still having a hangover, Tang Rui planned to go to the kitchen to see if he could get something to hangover. When he walked to the refrigerator, he saw a red rose pasted on the refrigerator and a note under the red rose: My dear, I saw that you fell asleep so deeply that I was willing to wake you up. There is breakfast in the refrigerator, and you can eat it after heating it in the microwave. Wait for my lunch when I come back!Love your husband, Sherland.

It was expected that Sherland would be embarrassed because he thought too much.

The phone rang suddenly, and after looking at the caller ID, Tang Rui answered the phone directly. Before he could say a word, a young woman's smooth and beautiful voice like milk chocolate came from the other end of the phone.

"Tang Rui, don't let me know when you return to the country. You still like to be alone as before. If I hadn't called Ralph yesterday and found out that you came to Haishi, I will wait for you If you take the initiative to call me, you may have to wait two or three years!"

The pronunciation of the correct pronunciation was like pearls falling on a plate, and it couldn't stop. Tang Rui tore off the note on the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door, and took out fresh orange juice from inside.

Wang Anan was his classmate in college. The cheerful and lively Wang Anan had a lot of friends with Tang Rui back then. Even after they graduated, they kept in touch with each other from time to time. In addition, Wang Anan often went to London. Every time he went to London They will always take care of Ralph and Tang Rui's restaurants. It can be said that Wang An'an is one of Tang Rui's few female friends.

Wang An'an called Tang Rui to have lunch, saying that he wanted to chat with Tang Rui about some work matters, but he didn't take the initiative to contact Wang An'an when he returned to China, but now he was arrested and questioned by a current teacher, anyway, it was fine at noon Tang Rui readily agreed to Wang Anan's invitation.

When he was about to leave, Tang Rui held his cell phone in a daze. He didn't have Sherland's number.

He left a note for Sherland, Tang Rui secretly sighed while writing, their relationship is too weird, the couple who are close in name, actually live under the same roof as strangers who have drank and talked, but He didn't even know the phone number of the other party.

But last night, when he told Sherland about the past, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, obviously, he didn't even tell Ralph about those things.

The last time I met Wang An'an was more than a year ago. Tang Rui was busy running his own restaurant, and Wang An'an, who is now a popular hostess, was also very busy.

Tang Rui arrived at the appointed restaurant ahead of schedule, and he saw Wang Anan before he had to wait too long. A beautifully tailored black off-the-shoulder long dress outlined Wang Anan's graceful figure. Showing a light and mature temperament, bright and moving, not inferior to the female stars in the entertainment industry.

Wang Anan glanced at the restaurant casually. It was too easy to spot Tang Rui in the crowd. There were not many restaurants in the restaurant during lunch time, and that man was as dazzling as a morning star at any time.With her red lips slightly raised, she smiled and walked towards Tang Rui. Tang Rui naturally got up to greet her, and opened the chair for Wang An'an in a gentlemanly manner.

The two sat down together, and after ordering, Wang Anan couldn't wait to chat with Tang Rui. When asked why Tang Rui suddenly thought of coming to Haishi to develop his career, Tang Rui just smiled and said that the domestic economy is developing rapidly, and he wants to come back to see To see if there is a chance to improve his career, he did not tell Wang Anan about Victoria.

Wang Anan deeply agreed with Tang Rui's decision, and nodded repeatedly: "Unlike some other well-known overseas chefs, you are not only proficient in Western food but also understand the mainland market. This is an advantage that other foreign chefs do not have." Tang Rui blinked mischievously, and said with a smile, "Believe me, if you open a restaurant in Haishi, it will definitely be full every day, and you have to make a reservation in advance to have a meal."

This Wang An'an is definitely a true thought from the heart rather than a compliment to Tang Rui. Foreign chefs have almost never been in contact with the mainland market, and they don't understand the tastes of Chinese people. They often face greater challenges when they come to the mainland to develop than overseas. Risks and challenges, and once the business fails in the mainland, it will also affect the reputation overseas.

What's more, those famous foreign chefs probably don't want to leave their hometowns and work thousands of miles away.

But Tang Rui is different. Tang Rui has no family concerns. He is proficient in Western dishes and also understands the tastes of Chinese people.

"How are you preparing now?" Wang Anan couldn't help but look at his friend who he hadn't seen for more than a year when he asked, he was still so handsome and charming, if it wasn't for Tang Rui's overly cautious and serious personality when dealing with relationships , Wang Anan couldn't help but fall in love with such an excellent man.

Tang Rui said: "I just finalized the decoration plan with the designer in the past two days."

"The real economy has declined in the past few years, and business is not easy to do," Wang Anan said with a smile in his eyes, "But with such a handsome and powerful chef like you, I am afraid that there will be someone at the entrance of the restaurant. There's a long queue."

Is there an advantage to good looks?There was once a beautiful single female guest who ate at Tang Rui and Ralph's restaurant for a month in a row, just to have a few more words with the handsome and charming chef.

Does this bother Tang Rui?There are many chefs in the industry who slander Tang Rui on the grounds of his appearance. There are many people who criticize him for attracting female customers by his appearance rather than his real strength. Tang Rui does not take it seriously.

Excellent appearance can be an attractive gimmick, but it is not the basis for a restaurant to operate for a long time.

There are many people in the world who are more beautiful and handsome than Tang Rui, but I have never seen anyone who can open a high-end restaurant with a beautiful skin.

"Tang Rui, actually I asked you out today mainly because I want to discuss with you about one thing. There is a popular food show on our TV station that is about to start its second season. In addition to the regular stars, a chef will be selected as the current guest in each episode. "Wang An'an's eyes were shining, he clasped his hands together, and warmly invited, "How about it, are you interested in coming to play?"

Tang Rui didn't reply to Wang An'an right away. Participating in one episode of the program would not take up much of his time. Firstly, it was a request from a friend, and secondly, he was also interested in this kind of food program, which would be good for his future development in Haishi.

It's just that Tang Rui also has his own considerations. He still has a marriage agreement with Sherland on his back. Considering Sherland's status, he thinks it's better to go back and talk to Sherland about this matter.

Wang An'an didn't expect Tang Rui to agree immediately, she asked for Tang Rui's email address, and when she got back, she would send the introduction of the program and the basic process of recording to that time, and make a decision after Tang Rui understood it carefully.

The beautiful host had a full schedule, and Qian reminded Tang Rui to call her after thinking about it. Before leaving, he asked enthusiastically with a heart of gossip, since he planned to start a new business in Haishi, would he also intend to work in Haishi in the future? Settle down in the city?

For such a high-quality single man as Tang Rui, not to fall in love, in Wang Anan's view, that would be a huge waste. She thinks that she also knows many excellent single men and women in Haishi. Tang Rui deserves it.

"There's been a lot of things going on recently, let's talk about it later."

After bidding farewell to Wang An'an, Tang Rui took a taxi to go to see the renovation process of the restaurant. The hangover was not good. It coincided with the peak hours of work, the roads were crowded, and the car stopped and stopped. No matter how skilled the driver was, it was inevitable Feeling a tightness in the chest and nausea.

Pinching the space between his eyebrows with his index finger and thumb, Tang Rui looked out the window. The cars lined up in a long metal dragon with no head or tail. The sky was as gray as a pencil sketch, blown from the river beside the road The cool breeze in the air was cold, dispelling some of the boredom in my heart.

Not far from where he was going, Tang Rui paid the money and got out of the car.

The weather was so gloomy that it seemed that it would rain at any time, but Tang Rui liked the weather very much. He walked alone on the sidewalk paved with bluestone slabs near the river, with earplugs in his ears, and a romantic song playing on his phone. And cozy songs, a moment of peace and worry-free, the heart also calmed down.

It has almost become a habit that cannot be quit.

The anxiety and loneliness of going to a foreign country with my mother when I was young, the confusion and pain of lack of belonging after my parents reorganized their families when I was a teenager, the busy work and study when I was young, and the busy business management in adulthood. pressure……

Nowhere to talk, no one to take care of me, and I have developed the habit of seizing all my spare time to decompress myself over the years.

When the mobile phone rang suddenly, the song flymetothemoon, which was randomly played on the player, just finished singing, and the last two lines of lyrics just flowed into my mind through my ears, reverberating.

In other words, please be true

In other words, I love you

I hope it's not something related to work. Tang Rui, who was disturbed, passively pressed the answer button on the headset, and didn't even take out his mobile phone to see who was calling. He sat down on the chair and waited for the other party to speak first.

"Tang Rui, have you finished your lunch? When will you come back and where are you? I'll pick you up!"
