Life is bloody eight o'clock

Ning Jun, female, 28 years old, not tall but well-proportioned, not a beauty, but fair-skinned, after graduating from university, she worked in a foreign company. She was hardworking, conscientious, meticulous and considerate, and was highly praised by her colleagues. The thing is to have an office romance with a company partner.

Unmarried, on the way to marriage, although the road started sweetly, it was extremely bumpy, and we will make it clear in the next story.

It was almost ten o'clock when Miss Ning woke up. If it was normal, she would turn over and go back to sleep.But today was different, today was her big day.

Three days ago, she had dinner with her boyfriend Xu Douxiao as usual. The place was chosen by her. It was a private restaurant in the old alley. The flower arrangement is placed together. People who like it praise the owner for the fusion of ancient and modern tastes, while those who don't like it say that the elders here have no taste, only copper stink.

Ning Jun has an open style towards this type of decoration. She only thinks that the food here is delicious, there are few people, and the service staff are polite and indifferent. It is an excellent place to go after a tiring day.

She loves to eat, and Xu Douxiao let her do it. The Michelin star pays generously, and the Fly House is also willing to eat. Both meat and vegetables are available, hot and cold. In fact, when Mr. Xu can't eat chopsticks, he has no objection and never stops him. , just smiled and watched her eat, and called her "greedy baby".

The two of them spent most of their holidays on gourmet adventures. Sometimes Ning Jun touched the soft lump around his waist and couldn't think of a gourmet book, and he was sorry for the swelling meat and Xu Douxiao's deflated wallet.

In the second half of the meal that day, the plates of big dishes were removed, and a small Soviet-style dim sum was placed in front of the two of them. Xu Douxiao took out a box, the size of a child's palm, with a light-colored suede surface, and a girl was beaten on it. Pink ribbon bow.

Mr. Xu loves to give gifts, regardless of the year, he buys them when he sees them, and gives them away when he thinks of them. Ning Jun is not surprised, he happily takes them, and carefully unties the crooked bow. I felt that something was wrong. Although Xu Douxiao, a perfectionist, was not skillful, he always asked the sales staff to wrap gifts beautifully. This seemed to be his own "masterpiece".

Sure enough, the ribbon has a lot of mystery, and a line of burgundy ink sprinkled with gold on it—"Would you like it?"—is Mr. Xu's regular italic characters.

Ning Jun only felt that the blood all over her body was rushing to her face. Of course she thought about such a day, they are developing towards such a day, but her heart would be pounding, she controlled the corners of her mouth that were desperately upturned, He looked at Xu Douxiao, who was visibly nervous, with crooked eyebrows.

"You know the answer."

Xu Douxiao held her hand: "You need to say the answer."

"Then you should ask the question first."

"you're right."

Xu Douxiao stood up, straightened his clothes, pushed away the chair behind him and was about to kneel down, but Ning Jun held his arm.

"No need, honey, you just have to ask me."

Xu Douxiao smiled embarrassingly. Like a shy child, he sat back in his seat and took a deep breath: "Will you marry me? Ning Jun."

Now what she couldn't control was not only her mouth, but also the tears in her eyes, they rushed out and dripped onto their clasped hands.

"I am willing."

"I will take good care of you." Xu Douxiao leaned over and kissed her eyes.

When the joyful mood of the newly married couple calmed down, Ning Jun opened his present. It was a pair of triangular enamel stud earrings, which were different from common sense rings. The gorgeous red was filled with golden leaf veins, and the corners were dotted with The bright blue color, the color jumps out and the texture is calm, which is her favorite style.However, it's not what a marriage proposal should look like.

"I saw it on my last business trip to Los Angeles. I think you'll like it. It's just a present."

While explaining, Xu Douxiao took out a blue box from his jacket pocket—the blue that all beautiful girls like. He opened it, and inside was a bright six-claw classic, simple enough, enough Shiny and flattering enough.

Ning Jun smiled and stretched out her hand, letting her fiancé gently put this meaningful ring on her ring finger. She admired it for a while, and then spoke again.

"What if I don't agree to you?" Ning Jun wrapped the pink ribbon around her finger - just a little bit above the diamond.

Xu Douxiao pondered for a long while: "I've already thought about it. If you look uncomfortable when you see it, I will ask you if you would like another dessert."

Ning Jun laughed and crossed the table to kiss him.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too."

They didn't eat the Soviet-style dim sum on the table in the end. The sweetness of love made their stomachs full and warm. They drove back to Xu Douxiao's apartment, opened a bottle of red wine, and drank it all. Did something joyful to celebrate the happy event.

Then, today is Ning Jun's big day.

She was going to meet Xu Douxiao's friends. On the third day of their engagement, they met his friends for the first time after dating for a year.

This is strange.

Ning Jun's good friend Tong Ling reminded her more than once: "You should meet his friends. To understand a person, you must start by understanding the people around him. Taking a step back, he has a good character, and his friends are also very good." Decent, but what is it if he doesn't bring you into his circle? He doesn't recognize you, or does he have another lover, and you are just a little secret that can't be on the stage?"

She knows Xu Douxiao's character very well, after all, they had been colleagues for four years before dating, his friend...

It's not like she hasn't met all of them, it's just that the occasion of the acquaintance was a little awkward, and even Xu Douxiao didn't know about it.

Anyway, they got engaged - good ending, she's about to meet his friends - wrong procedure, but it happened anyway.

Ning Jun picked out a little black dress that never goes wrong, showing off her beautiful shoulders and collarbone, a pair of high heels that made her look tall but not too hard, put on light makeup, and let her hair hang down smoothly on her shoulders.Finally, the pair of enamel earrings.

Xu Douxiao came to pick her up at eleven o'clock, and they had a light meal together. Mr. Xu introduced his friends in advance to avoid embarrassment when they met.

"Landun's son, Gu Yue, is your college classmate?" Ning Jun was taken aback, "You never said that."

"Their family is mainly engaged in real estate and hotels, and has no intersection with the company's business, so there is no need to mention it."

"You are the only one who thinks so. If it were someone else, he would have talked about him long ago."

"I don't like this, and Gu Yue won't invest in company projects." Xu Douxiao curled his lips, "I don't want to go out to have a drink with friends and talk about work."

"That's true." Ning Jun nodded in agreement, "But why didn't you tell me?"

"Gu Yue, he is a bit cynical...I don't want you to think that I am the same person."

The only young master of the Blue Shield Group is not only a little cynical, Ning Jun recalled the news he had accidentally read over the years, Gu Yue's own lace news can feed a group of paparazzi, no news?

Go see Mr. Gu.If he and Xu Douxiao are close friends, it will indeed affect Mr. Xu's reputation.

He cares about his impressions.

Ning Jun's heart was sweet.

After a year of dating, I didn't meet Mr. Xu's friend until the third day of the engagement, so it didn't seem so important.

Xu Douxiao's friends gathered in Guyue's store, the second ring road where every inch of land is expensive, and the sensual bar street. Inside Gu Gongzi has a two-story catering business. The bar on the first floor is officially opened after nine o'clock. The second floor is a membership-only private kitchen.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived, the first floor was still awake, and the second floor began to rest. The girl sitting at the bar at the entrance was full of energy, with a dark green long skirt hanging below her knees, and a light white girdle, which set off the She is like a graceful lotus flower.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu." She stood up, her voice was as neat as her movements, and there was just the right amount of kindness in her professional smile.

"Hello." Xu Douxiao nodded, "This is my fiancee, Ning Jun. This is Gu Yue's assistant, Hao Shangyun."

"Miss Ning, I have long admired your name."

Ning Jun took Assistant Hao's hand and shook it, then turned his head and smiled at Xu Douxiao: "Do you often mention me?"

"It doesn't count." Xu Douxiao touched his nose, and a little red appeared on the tips of his ears.

"Just enough to make us all wonder what kind of person can get Mr. Xu's ring."

Hao Shangyun led them in, "Mr. Gu keeps talking about it every day, Mr. Xu has hidden you so well that he won't recommend you until the last moment."

"He just wants to make fun of me." Xu Douxiao shook Ning Jun's hand, "What has he been doing recently? Your style has changed again."

"Mr. Gu has been chasing after an independent brand designer recently, and the clothes for the spring show are packed."

Hao Shangyun rolled his eyes restrainedly, "The daily clothes have become our work clothes. I have been wearing this brand for recent receptions. The industry thought I had transformed, and they always sent me some invitation letters for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

It was only then that Ning Jun realized where the disobedience he felt when he first saw her was because he was wearing the wrong clothes.

Looking around again, the men and women who are sitting or standing, all of them are so peaceful and elegant, they can't help but secretly lament the romanticism of Gu Yue.

"It suits you well."

"Thank you, it is also our duty to make the boss happy."

During the conversation, they walked to Gu Yue's office. Assistant Hao greeted him and left the scene voluntarily.

Guyue's office is more like a living room than a normal one. There are sofas, coffee tables, and bar counters. There are all kinds of fragrant tea, tobacco, and alcohol. Pioneer sculptures and Italian sofas from the last century are piled together. Eight screens There is an old-fashioned vinyl record player in front, and all kinds of weird gadgets are placed on the antique rack. The mix of styles reminds Ning Jun of the French salon in the 19th century. At any time, a hostess will shake it from behind the screen. The fan turns out.
