The forensic wife is very nice to me

Chapter 173 I Can't Accept It

The black box of "Bueery", the same one I saw last time outside the grill bar.

Suddenly, Qiu Lan understood what Xu Chengyan was going to say next, she frowned, lowered her eyes, her thoughts surged.

Soft and soothing music lingered in the box, the aroma of plum wine lingered in the hearts of the two, and a gentle and solemn voice sounded quietly.

"Doctor Qiu." Xu Chengyan paused, rolled his Adam's apple up and down, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his voice trembled slightly, "Actually, I am."

Before coming, he thought for a long time how to express his heart to Qiu Lan.

He was touched a lot by the beautiful and moving words and the touching truth, but when the critical moment came, he couldn't say a word. It was really uncomfortable to feel that the sentient beings were hard to express.

Qiu Lan, who was sitting at the wooden table, tightly closed her red lips, the expression on her face was neither joy nor surprise, but a bit embarrassed.

Not only she knew his intentions, but many people around him also understood.

In fact, Qiu Lan came to the banquet tonight just to celebrate his birthday with him. She had never thought of that box and the current scene.

For a moment, she froze in place, a little at a loss, not knowing what to do now.

"Doctor Qiu, look at this." Xu Chengyan opened the black box and pushed it in front of Qiu Lan, "This is my heart."

Inside the black box lies a ring silently. On the ring, two hearts, one big and one small, fit together, and a pure and clear diamond is embedded in the heart.

Next to the ring, there is also an ancient text engraved in silver fonts, "Death and life are in harmony with each other, and I will talk to you. Hold your hand and grow old with you."

"Doctor Qiu, actually, I don't know when I fell in love with you. Maybe it was when I was investigating Qiu's case, or maybe it was in Donglang Mountain."

With gentle eyes fixed on Qiu Lan's cheek, Xu Chengyan confided his heart word by word, feeling the beating heart in his chest.

A faint blush crawled up his face. This was the first time he was blushing in front of a woman, and it was also the first time he faced the most sincere feelings in his heart.

"I like you."

Suddenly, the four words of warmth jumped out from Xu Chengyan's lips and jumped into Qiu Lan's ear.

He pushed the ring on the table in front of her, and said softly, "You, can you be my girlfriend?"

The particles in the air stopped Brownian motion at this moment, and the whole box fell silent for an instant, with only the sound of ups and downs of breathing and the sound of anxiously waiting heartbeats.

With a serious expression, Qiu Lan lowered her eyes and pursed her red lips, thinking about this matter silently.

However, she was not thinking about whether to accept him, but thinking about how to refuse to reduce the harm to him.

Xu Chengyan is a mature, stable, confident and optimistic person, and he will be a good husband and father in the future, but he is not the one who can accompany her.

His life is simple and peaceful, but what about her?

With a sea of ​​blood and deep feud on her body, and the inextricable ties with the Qiu family, the days to come will definitely not be peaceful, and she can't distract her mind now.

Revenge and taking back the Qiu Group is her most important thing.

Besides, in Qiu Lan's heart, Xu Chengyan has always been a great work partner, and he can be a good friend in private, but he doesn't think he will become a lover.

This point is very clear in her heart.

The lives of her and Xu Chengyan are two parallel lines, no matter how close they are, they will never intersect.

What's more, she almost became Li Shanghan's fiancée three years ago, and she is still entangled in her ordinary life by this man.

Under such circumstances, if she accepted Xu Chengyan's feelings, it would be truly irresponsible.

So no matter what, she would not agree to him.

"Officer Xu, I cannot accept this ring." Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and pushed the black box back in front of Xu Chengyan, "Thank you very much for your appreciation of me, this is your affirmation of me, but this feeling It's too abrupt for me, I can't take it."

A few words hit Xu Chengyan's heart coldly and hard, and a trace of loss suddenly slipped from his eyes.

The black eyes that were shining with light instantly dimmed.

"Doctor Qiu, why?" Xu Chengyan looked at her in dismay, frowning.

He didn't expect that Qiu Lan rejected him so neatly, without even a moment's time to react.

"Officer Xu, you are my good partner at work. In life, we can also be friends, but only friends." Qiu Lan lowered her eyes, her eyes fluttered, and her brows frowned slightly, "I'm sorry, I I can't promise you."

Can't agree.

These cold words are like a basin of ice water, poured over the head, extremely biting,
"Doctor Qiu, yes, is it because of Lawyer Li?"

Not knowing why, he involuntarily asked the doubts in his heart.

"No, Officer Xu, it's not because of others, nor because of you, but I really can't fall in love right now. Your feelings and this ring are too heavy for me." Qiu Lan stared solemnly at the woman in front of her. People, looking dignified.

"Okay, I understand." Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but the smile was a little stiff and disappointed.

This is his first confession, and he was rejected unexpectedly. This is undoubtedly a blow to him, but it will not knock him down.

It's just being rejected. Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to pay more attention to the thatched cottage. What's more, they have known each other for less than a month, so it is normal to refuse.

Xu Chengyan took a deep breath, his eyes flickered slightly.

As long as Qiu Lan is not with Li Shanghan or others, then there is still a chance, right?
Always try again.

He clenched his fists, raised his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, "Doctor Qiu, what happened today was indeed too abrupt, I hope you don't mind."

"No, of course not, we will still be good partners in the future." Qiu Lan curled her lips and nodded slightly.

Hearing what he said, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her brows relaxed a lot.

After dinner, Xu Chengyan was going to send Qiulan home, but he received a phone call saying that there was a new discovery in the mystery of the oil barrel, so he left in a hurry, and she went back by car alone.

Back in Clear Water Bay, Qiu Lan lazily fell on the sofa, and the big golden retriever cookie hugged her feet excitedly, moaning non-stop, and the cookie that had been ignoring her so much also rubbed against her.

Probably because I didn't see each other last night, so I feel a little more lovesick.

Tired Qiu Lan closed her eyes, hugged the soft pillow limply, her body relaxed all of a sudden.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, a crisp ringing of the phone woke her up.

It's Qi Mo!
Last month's bonus was paid out, she excitedly asked Qiu Lan to go shopping, of course Qiu Lan couldn't refuse her.

Suddenly, she thought of the small market, where she and Qi Mo used to go when they were in junior high school, and it happened that she could take this opportunity to go back and search for the memories of that year, and to see if there were any new clues.
