contract marriage

"superstar?"

Tang Rui was a little surprised. He only knew that Jiang Shan was a cousin of a good friend of Sherland's and had a good family background. Hearing Li Anni's discussion, Jiang Shan was actually a big star?

"It's famous. It became popular when it debuted. Later, it went to Hollywood and won an award. In the past two years, when I returned to China to make a movie, it was really popular with stars and resources. I can't envy you." Zhou Yueyun said enviously.

Chen Weilian snorted disdainfully: "There are quite a few people who are better looking than him in acting, and they just rely on their family's wealth."

Li Anni did not forget to take the opportunity to say a few words: "William, I think you are jealous of others! What's wrong with being rich? Money is also a kind of strength, not to mention that there are many rich and powerful people in the entertainment industry. Does everyone Can they all be popular? Jiangshan's award is a real proof of their strength!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Money may not buy prizes, but the combination of money and power can work out of it." Sherland, who has always been a wallflower, said casually.

Seeing someone chime in, William Chen, who had always been displeased with Sherland, immediately raised his chin, and his voice was much louder like a proud rooster: "Li Anni, do you hear me, Teacher Tang's lover, uh... "

What's the name of Teacher Tang's lover?

"Yo! Brother Xie, why are you dressed so innocently today? Is this the cool Brother Xie I'm pulling? Hahaha, if I didn't see Brother Tang here, I almost didn't recognize him."

Wearing a famous brand for fear that others will not see that he is a rich local tyrant, and wearing a pair of sunglasses at night, Lin Xiaojia ran over with a smile, and when he took off the sunglasses, he revealed a handsome face of a standard playboy: "Brother Tang, remember Me? Lin Xiaojia!"

Ever since she was taught a lesson by Sherland, Lin Xiaojia had a long memory and never dared to call "sister-in-law" to Tang Rui.

Tang Rui just wanted to say hello when she was dragged back by Sherland: "We eat ours, don't worry about him." Sherland glanced at Lin Xiaojia next to him, "You are a sensible boy, and you know how to take care of your brother Tang's business."

"Brother Dongming is the guest today, not you, Lin Xiaojia." With his arms folded in front of his chest, Zhou Shi'an stood with his cousin Jiang Shan indifferently. The two cousins ​​really had similar facial features and temperaments. Somewhat similar, with a slightly cold literary and artistic atmosphere.

I don't know if he knows that Jiangshan is a big star. Tang Rui feels that compared with Zhou Shi'an, Jiangshan is indeed more handsome and brighter, but when Li Dongming came out from the last one, the invisible aura was like a The starlight was dimmed like a bright moon.

"Dongming, the ship for the night tour is already waiting at the pier." When Li Dongming passed the crowd and walked towards Tang Rui and the others, Jiang Shan shouted from behind.

Li Dongming's reaction as if he didn't hear it made Jiang Shan, who was used to being held up, a little embarrassed. Zhou Shi'an looked at Li Dongming's back, and then looked in the direction of Sherland, remembering that he was beaten at the wine tasting party more than a month ago. Sherland was reprimanded and planned to remain silent until the last word.

Before Li Dongming approached, Sherland put down the knife and fork and pulled away the chair, got up and stood in front of Li Dongming.

The atmosphere was inexplicably deadlocked, the air was tense like a string, and the table was full of people, but no one dared to speak again, and even the knife that was cutting the beef in his hand stopped on the plate.

Li Dongming didn't go any further, he glanced at Sherland's hostile face, and curled his lips: "It's rare that you will be nervous, thinking that nothing in this world can threaten you, am I Should be honored?"

Tang Rui stood up and held Sherland's hand from behind. He didn't like Li Dongming's words.

"Say a few more words. If you're thirsty, we'll provide boiled water for free." Sherland returned to hold Tang Rui's hand.

His eyes flicked across the hands of the two, his pupils constricted for a moment, and Li Dongming slowed down his tone: "I just wanted to talk to you, since I happened to meet today..." Li Dongming looked at the man behind Sherland, "Don Rui, can I borrow your office and let Rand and I have a drink?"

After greeting Wang An'an, Tang Rui took Xie Lande and Li Dongming to the company on the second floor.

Everyone was off work at this point, Tang Rui opened the door of his office, the bright and soft warm light made every expression on everyone's face invisible.

"Let's chat." Tang Rui closed the door when he left, the office's blinds were not down, and the actions of Sherland and Li Dongming could be clearly seen through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. He took a look and turned to go to the company's rest room between.

"You don't come to me to waste time staring at me, just tell me." With her arms folded on her chest, Sherland naturally sat down in Tang Rui's exclusive seat.

"Shelande, do you consider me a friend? Knowing what Tang Rui means to me, you still attack him."

"What do you mean by meaning? Did you use him as Jiangshan's stand-in at the beginning, or did you break up with him and act like a victim, selfishly not allowing Tang Rui to get out of the shadow and harm you brought him? Li Dongming, actually You don't love him as much as you imagined, you just don't want to be reconciled."

Putting away all the gentleness, Sherland's straight tone cut across the ice like a sharp blade.

"You must think in your heart that I am trying to win love, but do you think you love him? Hurting Tang Rui must make you feel very satisfied, enjoying his care for you, even if you have broken up for so many years, you still subconsciously Some people think that he cannot leave you, and he will never be able to break free from the pain you brought him. If you are still in your right mind, ask yourself, is this love or is it to satisfy your selfish and paranoid possessive desire? "

Li Dongming's complexion gradually sank, and the two thin lips collapsed into a line, and Sherland didn't stop there.

"You think that no one can understand Tang Rui better than you, and you are extremely confident that Tang Rui can't get out of the trauma you caused him, and can't start another relationship. And even if there is someone who is willing to approach Tang Rui's heart , With your wealth and power, it is very simple to drive away a person."

"Li Dongming, why haven't you thought about it, what if there is another person in this world who is no worse than you, or even far better than you in all aspects to compete with you? Or you just subconsciously think that you can fall in love with Tang Rui is his luck, he is not good enough to fall in love with someone better than you."

Sherland raised the corners of her lips, looked over Li Dongming's shoulders, and looked at the man who was walking towards the office with a glass outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and a sea of ​​tenderness flowed in his eyes.

"Perhaps...you're right."

Unexpectedly, Li Dongming did not refute Sherland, he turned sideways and followed Sherland's line of sight.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted with two gentle gazes. Tang Rui paused at the door for a second, and put two cups of hot milk tea on the desk without haste. The one who said a word left again.After going out, I sit cross-legged on a lazy sofa and play with my mobile phone, occasionally looking up.

Reaching out to pick up the ceramic cup from the desk, holding the cup to his mouth, the hand-brewed milk tea mixed with Earl Gray tea and milk slipped into his throat, pressing his throbbing stomach, Li Dongming said slowly: "First When I saw him for the first time, he was like a handful of snow on a cliff, cold and mysterious. Being able to conquer such a man was indeed very satisfying at first, but when the snow fell from the peak and fell into his hands, he melted. The water is as gentle and tender, fragile and pitiful, neither cold nor mysterious, no longer a handful of snow that cannot be reached on the cliff, but an ordinary drop of water in the vast sea.”

"In terms of appearance, Tang Rui is indeed good-looking, handsome, straight and clean, but there are many people who are prettier than him in the world, not to mention that he has a fatal weakness. When he loves someone, he can't wait to take out his heart Come out, it's easy to spoil people, it's too easy to get, it's inevitable that you won't cherish it."

Two cold eyes stared at him, and Li Dongming calmly met Sherland's warning gaze: "You're right, I just don't want to be reconciled, and I never even thought that one day I would really lose him."

"Shelande, you think I'm selfish. I admit it." His fingers rubbed against the wall of the ceramic cup, and the milk tea in the cup gradually cooled. Li Dongming smiled, "But you are wrong about one thing, I Love him no less than you."

"It has been several years since Tang Rui and I met for the first time. These few years are enough for me to understand how important he is to me."

The smile at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, like a withered tree, rustling and falling yellow and sad leaves, a thick bitter taste spread in his mouth, Li Dongming turned sideways and sat cross-legged on a lazy chair outside the office The man who lowered his head and played with his mobile phone cast a gentle gaze.

"I made a wish when I was shooting the aurora in Tromso a year ago, what will Tang Rui and I have in the future. The day before I left Tromso, I had a very short dream. I dreamed Tang Rui and I got married, and on the day of the wedding, Jiang Shan told Tang Rui that he was just a stand-in."

He seems to have had a dream about himself and Tang Rui, and it seems to have entered a movie time and space, watching Tang Rui leave the church alone before the wedding from the perspective of God, drive to the cliff near the church, and stare blankly. Watching the man approaching the abyss step by step.

Until now, Li Dongming could not forget Tang Rui's calm and relieved expression at that moment.

He also saw himself in the dream kneeling on the edge of the cliff and yelling like a collapse, uncontrollably jumping into the sea to find the person who finally fell from the cliff into the sea and turned into a drop of water.

That dream was too real and terrifying. The despair, regret and heart-piercing pain of "Li Dongming" in the dream made Li Dongming feel the pain of having his heart ripped out truly and directly.

The emotional hesitation in these years has been more or less affected by nightmares.

Torturing each other, torturing each other until killing each other, this is the future of him and Tang Rui.

If you can predict the future in advance, will you be able to change the ending?

The unknown future is awe-inspiring, and the known future is terrifying.

"It's been less than three months since you and Tang Rui met each other. If you change your mind and hurt him, I will take him away without hesitation." Li Dongming stood up and looked away from the window as well. Overwhelmed all his emotions, "Whatever the cost."

"You never had this chance in your life." Sherland pointed in the direction of the door.
