midsummer night

The phone screen lit up, and He Xiyuan's news came faster than expected.

He Xiyuan: Wow, welcome back, you have worked hard.

Lu Chengfeng checked the time - it was ten minutes to two in the morning, and He Xiyuan was still awake.

He sent back a message: haven't you rested yet?

He Xiyuan: Ready to sleep.

Lu Chengfeng: Go to sleep, let's see how you live tomorrow.

Three kilometers away, He Xiyuan watched the message and got up from the seat in pajama pants.He looked around the room, then turned on the lights, put the clothes hanging outside the closet into the laundry basket, and threw the biscuit wrappers on the table into the trash can.

Then he went to the living room and closed the piano cover, and went to the door of the living room to put the two pairs of shoes that he put on the carpet by the door into the shoe cabinet.

After walking around, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands and looked at himself in the mirror.The pajamas are an ordinary white cotton shirt and fine cotton trousers. The hair at the sideburns is a bit long, and there is a light blue color under the eyes brought about by going to bed late.

He lay in bed and set an alarm on his phone for 9 a.m. before going to bed, two hours earlier than he usually wakes up on weekends.Sighing lightly, then turned off the lights, looked at the messages on the phone, and lay down on the bed in large print.

He looked at the ceiling for a few minutes, then suddenly remembered something, got up and turned on the light, unzipped the suitcase, put a small bottle of inhibitor in the drawer beside the bed, and waited to use it after getting up in the morning to see how his body was doing.

In the morning, Lu Chengfeng made two phone calls in different languages ​​on the bus to the embassy area, then looked at the scenery outside the window, and slowly asked the driver: "Do you usually take him to and from get off work?"

He didn't say who it was, but the driver responded quickly: "I ran a few times when we moved, and he was very polite. He also picked up a few times on weekdays, but later he called me and told me that he didn't need it. There was no pick-up."

Lu Chengfeng: "What about the weekend?"

Driver: "He likes to go out by himself on weekends, but he seems to be in poor health. He has been to the hospital a few times, and he may not want outsiders to follow him."

Lu Chengfeng frowned slightly, and asked, "I'm not feeling well? Do you know why you went to the hospital?"

The driver replied: "There were two times when the housekeeper called him on weekends and he was not at home. The first time he came back from the hospital, and the other time he drove to pick him up at the subway entrance, and saw him holding a bag from the clinic with medicine boxes in it. I asked, but he didn't seem too keen on saying why."

Lu Chengfeng didn't speak. In his memory, except for an accident that happened a long time ago, he couldn't think of any reason why He Xiyuan needed to go to the hospital.He needs to find out the reason for He Xiyuan's medical treatment and understand his condition.

Before entering the house, Lu Chengfeng knocked on the door, but there was no response.Thinking that He Xiyuan might not have gotten up yet, he directly locked the door with his fingerprint.

There is no one in the living room, and there is a bouquet of flowers on the dining table, which are pink and white roses and gypsophila.

The layout of the furniture is not much different from usual, except for a pair of shoes next to the shoe cabinet and flowers on the dining table when entering the house.

Lu Chengfeng was in a good mood, and felt that Omega lived in his own territory, safe and undisturbed.

He has an inexplicable obsession with He Xiyuan, as if they have known each other for many years, and this Omega who seemed strange and secretive at first will spend a long time with him.

His father Lu Qian also had a lot of obsessions with his mother Zhu Yannian when he was young. Although he seldom mentioned it, Lu Chengfeng probably felt it.

Zhu Yannian also likes flowers very much, she seldom puts the flowers given by others in the background, and takes them home with her in her arms.If the bouquet is too many, choose a bouquet of light-colored roses or roses.

After returning home from the performance, Zhu Yannian will remove the oil paint on his face, wrap up his hair after taking a bath, change into cotton clothes, put on thick gloves to remove the ribbon and outer packaging of the bouquet, and carefully clean the bouquet with a glass or porcelain bottle. Raise the flowers.

She rarely asked servants to do this, as if putting flowers in a vase was the real curtain call.

When performances are intensive, there will be a lot of flowers in the house, and the living room is like a greenhouse for roses and roses.When the flowers start to drop petals or wilt, she lifts the vase and peers through the light at the submerged roots.

These are some of Lu Chengfeng's impressions of Zhu Yannian when he was young, like tiny fragments flashing in the light and shadow.

When Lu Qian was young, he had many choices. He had a strong background. Many people thought that he would marry another blonde Omega who happened to be a distant relative of his mother Elena.In the old court, that Omega should still have the title of princess.

But Zhu Yannian was never in the Omega that Lu Qian's family paid attention to. Although Lu Qian's choice later was not shocking, it troubled the family very much.

Zhu Yannian was born in a family of diplomats and could speak several languages, but he hardly ever went to an orthodox college except dance school, which was made up later.

Only when she jumps on the stage can she burst out with unparalleled vitality, most of the time she embraces the subtle and gentle beauty of the East, like a layer of veil.Lu Qian, on the other hand, galloped on the polo field since he was a child, and could knock down the tall and thick-haired European and American Alpha off the back of a horse with a swing.

Lu Qian and a certain heir to the throne were in the same class when they were young. When they were young, they were always surrounded by their peers' parents and bodyguards, and when they grew up, they were surrounded by peers who were climbing the class.Beautiful and ambitious Omegas abound, and they don't even require him to make any commitments, nor restrict him from liking other Omegas or Betas.

But he finally chose Zhu Yannian.

For many years in between, the family was puzzled and anxious about Lu Qian's choice, thinking that he wasted time on an Omega dancer who might not necessarily respond to him.The dancer has a slender body, has accumulated many hidden injuries over the years, and is not even willing to step down from the stage before the age of 30. It does not seem like a mother who will move into the manor with him step by step to raise children.

Many years later, Lu Chengfeng has become an adult. He often eats with Lu Qian in clubs in New York and clubs in Beijing. The lights are dim, the music is low, and he frequently meets politicians and famous figures in the business world.

They would come forward and say to Lu Qian, "Your child looks and behaves like you. Last time I heard that he was the one who financed the newly issued bonds? He is young and promising."

Lu Qian is naturally proud of him, even though he, like most of the Alphas around him, left the decision on the education of his offspring to Zhu Yannian, and Lu Chengfeng was not by his side for many years.

In Lu Qian's original vision, Zhu Yannian would raise the child with his servants, nanny and two grandmothers.Lu Chengfeng will go to the best boarding school, top university, and then business school or law school.He was born in a class that would not fall, and it was relatively easy to find a future career and inherit the family fortune at a young age.

But Zhu Yannian did not raise Lu Chengfeng according to his idea.Her life is secretive and clear, and she rarely participates in charity activities.She seems gentle, but she can see the essence of many facts.Charity is often just a mirage of a certain class's self-indulgence and tax avoidance.

Zhu Yannian's social circle is full of Omega partners of many powerful Alphas. They like to approach her not because they like her, but because she has an Alpha partner with great resources and wealth.

The gorgeous manor, the non-stop shows and dinners are all appearances.Under the fancy clothes, the Omegas drink and worry all day long, and are morbidly dependent on their Alpha partners. Spiritually, they look forward to a future where their offspring will grow up as soon as possible and they will eventually regain their freedom.

Compared with other Omega, Zhu Yannian's transparency made Lu Qian feel at ease and at ease.Her self-cultivation prevents Lu Chengfeng from being arrested for drunk driving at a young age, or sent to a rehabilitation institution for taking drugs, or abandoning his studies because he likes a certain model.

Uneasy because even though Lu Qian has a deep family business, Zhu Yannian still doesn't need any Alpha to have a magnificent life.

Lu Chengfeng's personality is very similar to the combination of his parents. He is as low-key as most of the family members, making people want to get in touch but not necessarily getting what they want.If you see Lu Chengfeng and Lu Qian in a restaurant in Beidu or St. Gettysburg, most people will not go up to say hello directly, but greet the waiter first, confirm that they are not disturbing, and then follow the waiter to their table .

From Beidu to St. Gettysburg, there are always people who want to meet Lu Chengfeng.

Jianling's top executives also tried to make several dinner appointments with Lu Chengfeng after investing in the project, but they were all declined.In the end, he only met the president of Jianling who was not in Beijing most of the time in his office conference room.

He Xiyuan was not there that day, only Gao Qingnian and Zhu Pingduixiao stood aside. Obviously such an important occasion does not require a small analyst to attend.

After the meeting, the group went to the hotel next door for dinner.Rotating round tables, large glass windows, delicate dishes are served one by one.Someone offered a toast to Lu Chengfeng, but he politely refused to explain that he never drank at lunch, so as not to be unable to work in the afternoon.

After the meal, he sent a message to He Xiyuan, asking if he had met the president of his group.However, He Xiyuan didn't know that the CEO came to Beidu. Gao Qingnian and Zhu Ping only told him that the CEO was coming this month, but they didn't specify when he would come, and no one told him after he came.

There are many industries in Jianling. There is an entire building in the eastern district of Beidu alone. Different industries are distributed on different floors. He Xiyuan usually works in the office on the top floor.

When the president comes to the north, he will not visit every building. He only meets the management and customers of important branches in hotels and clubs.

No one could have imagined that Lu Chengfeng, whom the president of Jianling might not even get an appointment with, would let He Xiyuan live in his house.

On the weekend morning, He Xiyuan got up in his suite in the embassy area of ​​Beidu. When he came out of the bedroom, he was dressed neatly, as if he expected that Lu Chengfeng would arrive early.

The curtains in the bedroom have been drawn, and the sun shines on the flat quilt.

Lu Chengfeng stood by the French window in the living room, and when he heard the door open, he turned around to see He Xiyuan coming out.

Lu Chengfeng only wore a shirt with black cuff buttons on his wrists.

He Xiyuan came whenever he wanted, why would he dress so formally on the weekend.But at a glance, he noticed that the shirt was tailored to the body, with fine lines, which made the lines of Lu Chengfeng's shoulders, neck, arms and waist extremely strong.
