shadow in daylight gl

After the work intensity suddenly increased, Lu Linzhong came home later and later, and their lives began to resemble two parallel lines, with less intersection and less conversation.

Lu Linzhong refuses to just eat takeaway, and sometimes he doesn't even eat when he's busy with work.An Huaixu would follow Lu Linzhong's time and order food at a restaurant near Zhitian in advance, and wait for her to come over to eat when she had time In seconds, the eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

"Mother?"

"Xiao Xu, are you free this afternoon?" Jiang Mu's tone was slightly cold.

An Huaixu wanted to refuse, but swallowed the words, "Well, I'm free."

"You go home later and bring back what you took from the safe."

An Huaixu wanted to say something, but Jiang Mu had already hung up the phone.

She clearly remembered the scene when she took the account book from the safe.At that time, she deliberately kept her mind out and only took out her page of paper, leaving the shell in the safe, thinking that she could hide it from her family for a long time, but she did not expect to be discovered so soon.

An Huaixu frowned, not even realizing that Lu Linzhong was sitting across from him.

"Xiao Xu?" Lu Linzhong called An Huai Xu, "Are you distracted?"

An Huaixu served Lu Linzhong a meal, "Are you busy this afternoon?"

"I have to attend a meeting in the afternoon, so you don't have to rush over from home to eat with me in the evening." Lu Linzhong quickly took two mouthfuls of food.

"Yeah." An Huaixu nodded a little disappointed.

"There is still night, you can sleep first at night, you don't have to wait for me, wait for me to finish this time..."

An Huaixu picked up the chopsticks and picked up evenly sliced ​​fish fillets for Lu Linzhong, interrupting Lu Linzhong's words: "Hurry up, the food is getting cold."

Lu Linzhong turned his face and glanced at his watch, and there were still 10 minutes left before leaving.In fact, she just wanted to tell An Huaixu that when she finished her work, the two of them could get along well.But this kind of empty promise may be better not to say than to say it, who knows what will trip her up after she has been busy for this period of time.

After eating, Lu Linzhong sat with An Huaixu for a while, and vaguely felt that An Huaixu was emotional. She opened her mouth to apologize, but this is not a problem that can be solved by saying "I'm sorry".When two people are together, saying "I'm sorry" too much may not be a good thing.

An Huaixu looked down at the time: "Don't you still have a meeting? Don't be late."

"Anyway, they don't dare to say anything if they're late." Lu Linzhong propped his chin with one hand, frowned, reached out and hooked An Huaixu's fingers, and said wearily, "You don't even know, the morning meeting these few days, the afternoon There is also a meeting, which is very boring.”

An Huaixu withdrew his hand without showing any trace: "Go."

Lu Linzhong took the good things, walked to An Huaixu and leaned over to kiss her forehead, "Be careful when driving back. Send me a message if you have anything to do."

An Huaixu watched Lu Linzhong's back, and drove back to Lanting Famous Villa silently, and put the page of household registration paper she took from home together with her marriage certificate into the car.

She knew that her parents might not accept that she was married, but she still had to fight for it. For the sake of her and Lu Linzhong's future, this step had to be passed.

With this marriage certificate, the law recognizes their relationship and they are each other's legal partners.It's like jumping hard when jumping over a hurdle, and they have already strode over one leg vigorously.

The lush sycamore trees in summer in front of the old house now turned bright yellow, and the colorful and shiny light quickly scattered on the road from the yellow leaves. An Huaixu parked the car at the door, slightly squinted his eyes and raised his head to feel the temperature of the autumn sun.Even though the sky was blue and cloudy, her heart was heavy.

She closed the door, as if to isolate the warm light outside the door.

Jiang Mu and An Chengyan sat on the sofa with serious faces.

An Huaixu sat on the side of the sofa, and took out the household registration book and marriage certificate from his bag. Sooner or later, there was going to be a showdown, but it was getting earlier.

Jiang Mu stood up excitedly, and An Chengyan gave her a hand.

An Huaixu knew that Jiang Mu was going to speak to her, so he said first, "I told you when I came back last time that I would be with her."

This scene is very much like a poorly acted scene in a TV series. The two protagonists love each other to death. If the family disagrees, they can only steal their household registration certificates.The TV series in the early years were not in vain, and now she even speaks exactly the same lines, the only difference may be that she came back alone.

"You—" Jiang Mu took a deep breath and said calmly for a moment, "Is this reminding me that you didn't kill first and play later? Do you think that through this method, the family will accept you?"

An Huaixu sat there silently, she didn't intend to refute Jiang Mu's words, she was really wrong about stealing her household registration book to get married.

An Chengyan saw through An Huaixu's thoughts at a glance, the deal was done, no matter what he and his wife said, it would not work, and now he was more concerned about another matter.

He asked in a deep voice, "You resigned?"

"Well, the report has been typed."

Jiang Mu looked at An Huaixu in astonishment, his expression was even uglier than before, "When did it happen?"

An Huaixu replied, "Last month."

Jiang Mu pressed the center of her eyebrows and leaned weakly on the sofa. The combination of the two incidents hit her hard, and she didn't know how to express her inner anger and dissatisfaction for a while.She picked up the water glass on the table and wanted to drink some water to calm down, but she was choked and coughed continuously.

"Mom." An Huaixu took out a tissue and handed it over, but Jiang Mu didn't pick it up.

"Don't call me that, I just feel that I haven't been a good mother. I didn't fulfill my responsibility to accompany you in the past, and now you won't tell me no matter what you decide. If this is the case, you don't have to tell me in the future. me."

"mom--"

Jiang Mu stood up, pushed An Huaixu's hand away, and closed the bedroom door heavily.

She and An Chengyan were the only ones left in the living room looking at each other.As an adult, she rarely had the opportunity to communicate face to face with her father alone, not because each was busy, but because the two of them had long adapted to their roles in the family.

It is difficult to change the inherent communication methods that parents have formed in the process of accompanying their children to grow up in a short period of time.An Cheng said that for so many years, he only knew how to be a strict father, but he didn't consider that when his daughter grows up, they all have the same identity-adults.He thought, maybe he could give it a try, and it was the first time for two people to stand on the same level of steps.They both try to understand each other.

An Huaixu leaned her upper body slightly forward, put her elbows on her knees, and faced her father alone. She didn't know how to speak, and the air in the living room seemed to have stopped flowing.

"Your mother, what you said was angry." After a long silence, An Chengyan finally spoke.

"En." An Huaixu responded.

"Do you know why your mother is so angry today?"

An Huaixu lowered his head, and An Chengyan sighed softly, "When we know that you have decided to take such a difficult path, as parents, we don't support you, we only have one position."

That is because of love.

An Huaixu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"It's not impossible for you to choose this way. Because after you have determined our position, you know that one day we will accept your choice. You dare to get married with Miss Lu, and you think so, right?"

Against you, because of love.

Accept your choice, also because of love.

"So it's not too much for me to say that you are self-willed. Your mother accused you just now, and you couldn't retaliate. Do you feel that it is unfair? But some things are not fair in themselves. For example, she gave birth to you, raised you, Educate you, turn you from a child who is waiting to be fed to a grown-up who thinks she is full-fledged, she loves you with all her strength, and because of your love for another person, there is a rift between mother and daughter, this is for your mother Saying that might not be fair."

An Huaixu's heart was astringent.

"Of course, not all the ways she loves you are correct. But Xiao Xu, you have to understand that there is no perfect relationship in this world."

"Yeah." She thought that going home this time would be like the previous two times, making both her and her father embarrassing.After all, for so many years, there were at most a few neutral greetings between her and her father. She never thought that it was her father who gave her some comfort and understanding when she was alone and helpless.

An Chengyan stared at the marriage certificate on the table, and said in a low voice: "I won't blame you for getting married secretly, but you have to promise me to give your mother enough time for her to accept it."

"it is good."

"Besides, why didn't she come back with you?"

Hearing An Chengyan mention Lu Linzhong, An Huaixu clenched her hands unconsciously, what she had to say so that her father would not have a prejudice against Lu Linzhong in his heart.

"She's a little busy."

An Chengyan looked at his daughter suspiciously: "Are you so busy?"

"And I didn't mention to her that I was going home today, otherwise she would definitely..." An Huaixu's eyes dimmed. If Lu Linzhong knew that she was going home today, would she really Will you let go of the work at hand?

But she has already chosen to go home and face her parents alone, so it is meaningless to make such an assumption.

"Whether what you say is true or you are speaking for her, I am willing to take it as true. Next time you bring her back."

"What I'm saying is true."

An Chengyan waved his hand, "Does she want you to resign?"

From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that An Huaixu's answer would be no. Even if the two young people have their own plans for the future, the minimum principle should be that there is a balance between the two people's efforts and income, rather than one for the other. Completely sacrifice yourself.

"No, it's not. She doesn't know about my resignation yet."

An Chengyan thought for a while, and then said, "Xiao Xu, she is five years older than you."

An Huaixu couldn't guess what her father wanted to say to her. The five-year age difference between her and Lu Linzhong wasn't too big. It would be far-fetched if this would also become a hurdle preventing them from being together.

"But I feel that the gap between you is more than five years old."

An Huaixu obviously felt a sense of loss, how could she not feel the gap between herself and Lu Linzhong.It's just that she will ignore it on purpose a lot of times, but after a long time, she will also fall into deep self-doubt. Is it because her intelligence is too ordinary and she has little experience, so she seems to be getting closer and closer to that invisible goal? further away.

"It's not your problem. Your behavior is in line with your age, but she is more mature than her age should be. I felt this way from the first time I saw her, and later I had the opportunity to know her experience , and confirmed my thoughts.”

An Chengyan didn't say it bluntly. In the past, he and his wife had always had great expectations for An Huaixu. It wasn't until later that they realized that it wasn't that An Huaixu was not good enough, but that the benchmark they selected was actually far more than ordinary people.This time, he was very worried that his daughter would not be able to control this relationship.

"Dad, she is the one who can make me better." An Huaixu stared at his father.

Even though there is a big gap between them in the eyes of others, who can say that she can't keep up with Lu Linzhong's pace.The gap can be shortened, just give her a chance, give her some time.

An Chengyan's expression was moved, and his daughter was indeed growing up step by step. She was no longer afraid of others' negation, and didn't care too much about other people's eyes. In the past, he really shouldn't have denied her from the beginning.That's the point of the conversation, he knows that An Huaixu must know how to deal with this relationship, and now he is more worried about what An Huaixu will do after he resigns.

"Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

An Huai's preface is at a loss for words. In the past, she listened to her parents' advice and was admitted to the public service system. She could see the end of her career at a glance, and she only needed to follow the steps step by step.But since she submitted her resignation application to the leader, everything has changed.Of course, she can also choose to study business management from scratch. Grandpa always hoped that she could inherit the family business, but this is not what she wants to do.

"Recently, I have been paying attention to the recruitment information of some law firms. I still want to work in the professional field."

An Huaixu briefly mentioned the matter of re-finding a job.In fact, for several days in a row, she spread her resume like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no more splash.She frowned, feeling more and more depressed.

An Chengyan guessed that job hunting should not go well.In the past, the daughter who always clung to his knees and clinged to her for him to hold, now has her own family, and she will always have to walk alone in the future.He thought about it, and suppressed the idea of ​​helping her secretly.

"It's up to you to decide."

An Huaixu sat in the living room for a while, but never heard any noise in the bedroom.

An Chengyan handed her the marriage certificate on the table, "Are you living at home now?"

"I live at her place." An Huaixu took out a note from under the coffee table, picked up a pen and wrote down the address of Lu Linzhong's home.

"Stay for dinner."

An Huaixu glanced at the closed door again, "I can't see Dad, I'll go back first."

When An Huaixu drove away, it started to rain lightly.After a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky was as dark as ink. The car was driving in the torrential rain, and the wiper wiped the windshield quickly and made a sound.

When she got home, the rain still had no tendency to stop, and there was no bright light in the house. She got out of the car in the face of the downpour, and the heavy rain wet her clothes in no time. After entering the house, she washed her clothes. Take a hot bath, boil ginger tea, lean on the sofa and look out the window quietly.The raindrops hit the glass, and the rushing sound echoed in the empty and cold house. She was lost and at a loss.

Lu Linzhong came into the room with a tired body when the dew was deeper, and his face was full of laziness and exhaustion. She walked lightly to An Huaixu's bed and sat quietly for a while, tucked the quilt for her, and then He kissed her forehead and left the room.

After working overtime for five consecutive days, finally on the last day of the National Day holiday, Lu Linzhong was able to turn down the evening entertainment, and wanted to take An Huaixu out to the southern suburbs of Jincheng to relax in the spare time. She knew the owner of a winery there, the chef Excellent art.

Lu Linzhong took the good things and passed by the secretary's office. He didn't see Bai Jing, only Lin Yucen who was standing aside to sort out the materials.The well-tailored uniform gave her a touch of femininity, which was completely different from what she used to look like in the bar.

Lu Linzhong glanced in the direction of the tea room, and Lin Yucen said to her, "Vice President Lu, Secretary Bai has gone to the project department."

"Then you tell her that she will go with Vice President Zhao for the evening entertainment, and I have to leave beforehand." Lu Linzhong smiled at her, "Get off work early."

Lin Yucen sorted out the information on the desktop, and when Bai Jing came back from the project department, she conveyed to her exactly what Lu Linzhong had explained to her, and then said calmly, "Vice President Lu didn't even work overtime today."

Bai Jing leaned back on the chair and sighed sadly: "Yes. Mr. Xu doesn't seem to be working overtime tonight."

Lin Yucen walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Bai Jing.

The eyes of the two met in the air for a moment, and Bai Jing got a little comfort from Lin Yucen's steady and peaceful eyes, which immediately aroused her inner desire to talk.

"Vice Lu is always very attractive." Bai Jing pursed her lips.

Lin Yucen responded lightly, not agreeing with this statement in his heart.

"By the way, you just came to the company not long ago, did you hear everyone talking about Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu?"

Lu Linzhong was in the parking lot, his eyelids twitched without warning.

After a few autumn rains, the autumn in Jincheng is strong, and the sweet-scented osmanthus on the roadside is fragrant, stealing a touch of leisure and peace in the noisy and busy city. The smiling face is brighter than the evening glow.

When the car stopped in front of the building, Lu Linzhong raised his hand to open the sensor lock on the door, and said lightly, "Xiao Xu?"

The living room was empty, and the dining table was set exactly the same as when she went out early in the morning.

No, Lu Linzhong thought about it carefully, and the arrangement on the dining table seemed to be the same as before his eyes a few days ago.She patiently bypassed the two bedrooms on the second floor, passed through the study on the third floor, and walked to the terrace.

The sun was sinking slowly, like the rising tide in the night.

Lu Linzhong hesitated and pressed the dial button on the phone, and after waiting for a few times, the call was connected.

"I have something to do now, I'll call you later."

Before she could speak, An Huaixu hastily hung up the phone.

Lu Linzhong frowned. She turned down work and entertainment, and finally found time to accompany An Huaixu, but An Huaixu had such an attitude, and she was inevitably a little annoyed.

She clenched her phone tightly and thought about it after she calmed down.It was because she didn't say hello to An Huaixu in advance that she would come back early tonight, how could she ask An Huaixu to be free when she was free.

She really didn't like the unknown that things were out of her control, and it made her feel uneasy.But when two people become lovers or even combine into a family, it does not mean that they are completely integrated into one body. On the contrary, they should give each other a moderate amount of space.

During this period of time, she was too busy with work, and occasionally she couldn't control her emotions. Fortunately, she was no longer the age to lose her temper at will.If she wants to take An Huaixu out for a walk next time, she must arrange it earlier.

Lu Linzhong sat alone on the terrace for a while, the exhaustion of non-stop work for days wrapped her tightly in the quiet night.

She reached out and took off the necklace hanging around her neck. This pendant has been with her for many years, and the light refracted by the diamond is still as bright as before. It always gives people an illusion that some things in this world can last forever.

She has been studying abroad alone since she was six years old.At that time, studying abroad was a decent and glamorous thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but when studying in a foreign country, most of them were blond and blue-eyed white people.There are always some peers who are not so friendly to her, they are warm and cold, like someone drinking water.

She walked into the study room, picked up a bottle of red wine from the wine rack, poured it into the glass, took a few sips, closed her eyes slowly, and sank into the soft chaise longue. Even after so many years, she still I don't want to recall how I felt at the time.

The soft light suddenly turned into the last slant of light, and the road in front of her eyes became a narrow road with bushes. Several girls who were the same age as her rushed out from behind and pushed her to the side of the road.She rolled down the slope and fell directly into the deep water channel beside the road.The water filled the nasal cavity in an instant, she couldn't swim, her limbs were so tense that she didn't know how to react, so she could only thrash about.

It was as if a pair of terrifying hands were dragging her to the bottom of the cold water, and the fear of floating up and down in the water wrapped her tightly.The water was so cold and deep that she couldn't open her eyes, and suddenly she had a specific understanding of death in her mind...

Lu Linzhong suddenly felt someone pick her up.

When the skin touched, the other person's body was warm and soft, which suddenly soothed her panic that had nowhere to rest.

"Why did you fall asleep in the study?"

Lu Linzhong frowned, and found that An Huaixu had picked her up and walked out of the study.

So just now, it was a dream.

She hadn't had such a dream for many years.

Lu Linzhong raised his hand and caressed An Huaixu's cheek. If it wasn't for such a real touch, she really couldn't believe that she opened her eyes twice to face the same person.

Did fate favor her too much?

Lu Linzhong squeezed An Huaixu's face with his fingertips, "Where have you been?"

"It's something to go out with some friends." An Huaixu carried Lu Linzhong to the bed and put him down gently.

"I finally squeezed some time to go home to accompany you, so there are already a lot of people accompanying you." Her eyes turned lightly, and there were ripples in her embossed eyes, like anger or resentment.

At this time, someone with a little taste came over and kissed her.Even if you can see that she is not really unhappy, you should say a few nice words to coax her.

Sure enough, An Huaixu leaned over.

That's right, it should be like this between them.

An Huaixu's hand passed through her waist, pinching a corner of the quilt to cover her body:

"Go to bed first, I'll take a shower."

Although this sounded a bit disappointing, but she always liked to be clean, she smiled lightly and leaned against the bedside: "Then I'll wait for you?"

The bedroom door was locked by An Huaixu, and she deliberately took a long suit and trousers and walked into the bathroom downstairs.A half-length mirror hangs in front of the marble vanity.

An Huaixu took off his clothes, and saw a deep red mark running across from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, and there were bouts of dull pain after he raised his arms.She looked at the wound in the mirror. Fortunately, the skin was not broken. If there was a wound, it would be hard to tell if Lu Linzhong saw it.

An Huaixu took a shower and sat on the sofa in the living room for a long time. The matter Xu Zhongxuan gave her to investigate was much more difficult than she imagined.Facing the same situation, if Lu Linzhong were her, what would she do?

An Huaixu pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and Lu Linzhong fell asleep half-sitting, with a night light left on the bedside, the quiet night outside the window was so long.

The next morning.

"Xiao Xu." Lu Linzhong whispered to the person in his arms.

"Huh?" An Huaixu replied vaguely.

"I'll take you somewhere when you get off work."

"it is good."

They agree on a place and time to meet.

In the evening, Lu Linzhong drove all the way out of the western suburbs. There is a winery called Larose near Yuyuan. The owner is an acquaintance of hers. Very innovative.

Lu Linzhong drove to a two-story wine villa and stopped. Larose has become more and more famous in Jincheng since she opened her business. She has heard people say that she needs to book a seat at least one week in advance to reserve a parking space. Here today It is strange that there is not even a car.

She handed the car keys and bag to the waiter at the door, glanced at the empty space in front of the wine rack, and walked up the escalator to the second-floor terrace. The creepers that had covered the two floors had already withered a lot, and the view here is wide , and there are no high-rise buildings in the western suburbs, you can just see the sun sinking to the horizon.

Standing in the corner of the terrace was a tall figure with long black hair, narrow shoulders and waist, and neatly dressed.

"Unexpectedly, there will be times when you are left alone in front of the door."

Lu Linzhong walked over and sat down on the armchair.

"Unexpectedly, Miss Lu would come to the door in person one day."

Lu Linzhong squinted his eyes, staring at the still image of Sherry cut out by half a touch of the setting sun, and felt that the other party's words were very harsh.

Sherry met by chance when she was a graduate student at the University of Manchester. The two had a good chat, and they kept in touch with each other, and kept in touch after that.After returning to China, she handled her own company's affairs in Jincheng, and met with Sherry from time to time, drinking and chatting.

Three years ago, Sherry planned to open a winery in the western suburbs, and asked Lu Linzhong to become a shareholder.Lu Linzhong didn't want too many money entanglements between his friends, so he found a reason to refuse because he was worried that he would drink up the wine cellar.At that time, Sherry took her around the western suburbs, and occasionally showed her his cooking skills.

Lu Linzhong gradually realized that Sherry was unilaterally interested in her, and it was not easy to refuse clearly, so he had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and gradually lost contact with her.

So after the Larose winery was built, it was really her first visit.

If it wasn't for An Huaixu's feast, she certainly wouldn't come here easily.But after such a long time, Sherry may have let go of her feelings for her at that time.

"If you tell me at this time that you regret not investing in the shares, it will be too late." Sherry took out a cigarette from the box and handed it to Lu Linzhong. Lu Linzhong held out his hand and refused the other party to light her cigarette.

"Stop doing?"

"Ah."

"You look beautiful when you smoke." Sherry took a long puff of smoke, her eyes became deep, and she looked at the roses and roses crawling on the fence of the winery.

"Hmm, you're not the first to say that." Lu Linzhong casually picked up the two volumes of Baudelaire's poems on the shelf, and winked at Sherry, "But I'm still very happy to be praised for being beautiful. "

"I invited someone over today. She likes to eat French food, but she has eaten all the famous French food here in Jincheng." A layer of tenderness appeared in Lu Linzhong's eyes, and even his tone of voice was pampering.

"Is she your...who?"

"What do you think?" Lu Linzhong smiled secretly.

"Then I'm a little curious." Sherry also smiled at Lu Linzhong, looking at the fan Da Vinci who was crawling on the fence of the winery.In the past, when Lu Linzhong mentioned that she likes pink roses by accident, she asked people to plant a lot in Larose.But she never mentioned it to Lu Linzhong. She thought that when the roses bloomed all over the fence, she could see the happy smile on Lu Linzhong's face.

Sherry extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, it was not the flowering season, it was autumn, and the climbing vines of roses were so inconspicuous in the corner.

"When did this happen?"

Lu Linzhong was stunned, even this should be explained clearly?

"It's fine if you don't want to say it, anyway, I'm going to meet someone soon." Sherry stood up, "You come to eat and drink for free, I admit it, and now if you want to bring an extra person, then go to the kitchen to help."

"Stingy." Lu Linzhong glanced at the direction of the gate of the winery intentionally or unintentionally. It stands to reason that the drive from An Huaixu's unit should be very fast, and it will take another ten minutes or so.

Noticing Lu Linzhong's expression, Sherry pressed the corners of his mouth down, and left the terrace first to go to the kitchen.

Lu Linzhong followed Sherry into the kitchen. Sherry took the ingredients from the refrigerator, walked to the sink, took off the tail ring from his hand, and gently pressed the pump nozzle.

Lu Linzhong glanced at the smooth shiny tail ring, and asked casually, "Are you still alone?"

"Yeah." Sherry raised his hand to turn on the faucet, and added in a relaxed tone, "But I've been paying attention, and if I find something suitable, let's talk about it."

Lu Linzhong clasped his hands in front of him and leaned against the door frame: "Hahaha, at that time your friend deliberately came to Zhitian to find me, saying that you had something else in mind for me. I said how is it possible."

Lu Linzhong's heart sank. Many of the designs in Larose were casually mentioned by her at the time, but Sherry arranged them very carefully and planted her favorite roses.Although what she said now is very scumbag, but she is already married, if Sherry still can't let go, it will really delay people.

"Well, don't think too much about it."

Lu Linzhong pursed her lips, she had already said so much, and they shouldn't have any more ambiguous misunderstandings.

Sherry lowered her head, picked up the fruit knife on the shelf, picked up the avocado in the fruit basket, and cut lightly along the belly.

"She doesn't like to eat avocado, just cut my share."

Sherry gripped the handle of the knife firmly, and answered her casually.

The kitchen fell silent for a moment, and Lu Linzhong looked up from time to time to pay attention to the wall clock on the wall.

Sherry took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and poured half a glass, and pushed it in front of Lu Linzhong: "In such a hurry, it's not at all like you before."

Lu Linzhong just glanced lightly.

"How old is she?"

"25 is old."

"Isn't it normal for little girls to be late for a date?"

Lu Linzhong's eyes bent when he thought of An Huaixu's usual foolishness.The term "little girl" seems to be a bit contrary to An Huaixu, perhaps because An Huaixu always wanted to prove himself and protect her in front of her, and gradually gave her a feeling that she could rely on.Even though many times, she felt that An Huaixu's way of doing things was not mature enough.

Seeing the sweet smile on Lu Linzhong's face, Sherry turned around and continued cooking with a feeling of astringency in her heart.

Lu Linzhong glanced at the time one last time, "I'd better call her."

She walked down the cobblestone path of the winery to the rose creeper, and the phone was hurriedly connected, but the voice was too loud for her to hear.

"Xiao Xu?"

"I'm not coming, I'll call you later."

"Small·

..."

A busy tone came from the other end of the phone, and Lu Linzhong stood alone for a while holding the phone, carefully recalling the state between the two of them recently.

She was busy, and An Huaixu was also busy. Recently, she worked overtime a few times until she got home at twelve o'clock, and she happened to meet An Huaixu before she came back.Although she was a little puzzled, she didn't ask too much. They gave each other the trust and distance between their lovers, but it's been such a long time. Should they also spare time to accompany each other?

Sherry walked towards her, Lu Linzhong packed up his emotions and smiled: "She won't be here tonight."

"So busy?" Sherry deliberately paid attention to Lu Linzhong's expression, "Dinner is ready, let's have some together?"

Lu Linzhong looked into the distance absent-mindedly, but did not respond.

"Wouldn't you be put on a pigeon and you won't even be in the mood for a meal?"

Lu Linzhong followed Sherry back to the restaurant on the first floor of the winery. Originally, this dinner was deliberately prepared for An Huaixu, but he didn't expect that the most important person didn't show up, so it was inevitable that he lost his interest.

Because of Lu Linzhong's coming, Sherry deliberately posted the news of the suspension of business one day in advance. There were only the two of them in the restaurant downstairs, and the dinner table was extremely silent. She rarely saw Lu Linzhong showing negative emotions.

"Talk about her?" Sherry took the initiative to ask, "How far have you guys developed?"

"Do you believe me when I say I'm married?"

The knife and fork in Sherry's hand collided with the pure white porcelain plate, she was silent, and forced the corners of her mouth to twitch: "No, can't you?"

Lu Linzhong didn't speak.

"Why is there no news about your marriage?" Realizing that she was speaking in a hurry than usual, Sherry unnaturally staggered her gaze from Lu Linzhong, and lowered her voice, "You, you didn't even tell me."

"I have already obtained the certificate, but it has not been announced, so not many people know about it. You still know about it relatively early."

A table of delicacies can't be eaten by two people. Sherry squeezed the corner of the tablecloth tightly, and raised the goblet, "When I was abroad, I never thought that I would be able to wait until the day when same-sex marriage is legal in China. Then, congratulations."

Lu Linzhong shook her head. Ever since An Huaixu hung up the phone, she had been uneasy. She always felt that something was wrong. The environment of the call was so noisy, it was definitely not an office. An Huaixu went out with friends again?But since it was going out with friends, why did you hang up the phone in such a hurry?

Sherry raised her eyebrows: "What are you thinking? You're still thinking about your——wife when you're having dinner with friends? This is too cruel to a dog."

"Sorry, Sherry, I have to go first.

Next time I treat you to dinner and make amends. "

Lu Linzhong hurriedly took the phone and went straight out of the restaurant.

Although Lu Linzhong has a lot of romantic debts, his attitude towards marriage is extremely cautious.The last time she heard about Lu Linzhong from a friend was when she learned that Lu Linzhong had just broken up with her predecessor, and it was only a year after all.

Married so soon, why does she think it's so unreal, should she refuse to believe it from the bottom of her heart?

They knew each other since Lu Linzhong was still studying in England.Although the contact is not frequent, they have been sharing the happiness in life with each other.Later when Lu Linzhong returned to China, she specially settled in Jincheng in order to have more chances to meet Lu Linzhong.

Knowing that Lu Linzhong likes drinking, she built a winery; knowing that Lu Linzhong knows design, she arranged it according to Lu Linzhong's instructions; knowing that Lu Linzhong is picky about food, she even deliberately went abroad to learn cooking from a teacher.

Lu Linzhong likes to linger in love, so she watched from a distance, she thought that one day Lu Linzhong would get tired of playing, maybe she could turn around and see everything she did
