She always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around here.

Du Ruize took a deep breath, took a large bouquet of fiery red roses from the waiter who was walking towards them, and before Ming Xi recovered, he knelt down on one knee in front of her.

Ming Xi was startled, and the man's serious voice came slowly: "Ming Xi, actually - I've been thinking about this matter tonight for a long time, and finally I don't want to wait any longer, I hope you can give me a chance to protect you .”

After saying this, he also looked a little uncomfortable.

In fact, tonight he just wanted to confess his love to Mingxi, but at the moment when he took the flowers just now, he couldn't help doing this.

It seems that in his subconscious mind, he has already made preparations to stay with Ming Xi forever.

After Du Ruize finished speaking, the melodious sound of the violin slowly flowed, and Ming Xi realized that a man in a suit sitting in the corner was playing the violin, which added a little ambiguity to the surrounding atmosphere.

She pinched the center of her brows with a headache, leaned over and grabbed Du Ruize's hand, "Get up first."

Du Ruize didn't want to embarrass her, he just thought she was shy from being stared at by everyone, and when she got up, she winked at the manager of the mall.

The manager of the shopping mall understood in seconds, and immediately led the others out, leaving them a space to get along alone.

Ming Xi looked at the bright bouquet of roses held by Du Ruize, and thought of Shen Tinglu inexplicably.

During the three years of marriage with that man, Shen Tinglu had never done such a romantic thing to her.

"Mingxi, so can you promise me?" Du Ruize looked at her in a daze, and asked anxiously like a little boy.

Ming Xi recovered from her thoughts, looked at him and apologized, "I'm sorry, I hope you can take back what you just said."

"Why? Do you think I'm inferior to Shen Tinglu?"

As soon as he asked this, Du Ruize regretted it.

He clearly knew that Shen Tinglu was a thorn in Mingxi's heart, so how could he bring this matter up.

But he was very entangled in his heart, wanting to know the answer in Mingxi's heart.

Ming Xi clenched her lips, smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I don't think so, but emotional matters can't be forced with a few words, I hope you don't put your mind on me anymore."

After finishing speaking, she felt helpless.

As expected, feelings are always unfair. Even though Shen Tinglu never gave her flowers or prepared these romantic moments for her, her heart is obviously weightless. After all, that man still occupies her heart. A piece of location.

Hearing her resolute tone, the light in Du Ruize's eyes instantly dimmed.

He also thought about telling Ming Xi about his real identity, but he quickly denied this idea.

In his opinion, he regarded Mingxi as the kind of profit-seeking woman, which was simply a contempt for Mingxi.

He believed that as long as Ming Xi had feelings for him, no matter what his status was, Ming Xi would not mind it.

Similarly, this woman's heart is not on him at all, so no matter how much he does, it will be in vain.

After thinking about all this, Du Ruize felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"No matter what, I'm still very grateful for the surprise you prepared today, but I hope we can forget everything about tonight together, and I just want to be ordinary friends with you in the future."

Ming Xi can also see his intentions for her, and knows better that what she said will definitely make Du Ruize sad, but if there are some things that are not clear to the other party earlier, delaying it will only cause the other party to suffer more harm .

Du Ruize immediately understood what she meant, feeling uncomfortable for a while, looking at the bouquet of roses in his hand, he nodded helplessly, "I already understand what you mean, since there is no way to be together, I can continue to be with you My friend is also my honor. But this bouquet is my little thought, I hope you can take it home."

Even if there is no way to occupy her life as a boyfriend, at least he still hopes that he can bring some memories to her.

His sincere tone made Ming Xi hard-hearted to refuse for a while, and after thinking for a while, he finally accepted his flower, "Thank you."

The two walked out of the mall, and Ming Xi asked to go back by herself.

Du Ruize could see that it was because of what he did tonight that she wanted to stay away from him.

Worried that pushing her too hard would backfire, he had no choice but to pretend he didn't know anything, and watched her get on the bus before leaving.

When Ming Xi returned to the apartment, it was already late.

She got off the bus and just opened the door of the apartment when she immediately felt a cold gaze fall on her.

Looking up, she saw Shen Tinglu standing on the steps facing the gate at some point, staring at her condescendingly.

He had always possessed an unusual aura, and now standing at such a high position and looking down on her, it gave Ming Xi a sense of oppression invisibly.

Shen Tinglu stood in front of the desk lamp, Ming Xi couldn't see his expression clearly because it was against the light.

But even so, one could still tell from the man's motionless appearance that he was unhappy at the moment.

Ming Xi frowned, not knowing why she was dissatisfied with him, she turned her gaze back and went up the steps, ready to bypass him and leave.

When passing by him, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by him.

She subconsciously wanted to shake him away, but the man's strength was too great for her to pull her hand back.

Perhaps the knot in his heart in the morning could not be untied, and Ming Xi also became angry with him for no reason, and struggled stubbornly.

And because the movement range is too large, and the space of this step is very small, Ming Xi didn't notice that her foot stepped on the air, and her body immediately fell backwards.

"Be careful!" Seeing this, Shen Tinglu didn't care about getting angry with her, and immediately reached out to wrap her arms around her waist, preventing her from falling down the steps.

"hiss--"

Even so, he still heard a muffled sound from the little woman.

"Are you hurt?" Shen Tinglu looked at her ankle, but because the light was too dim, he couldn't see if there was anything wrong with her ankle.

He frowned, and in the next second he hugged her by the waist involuntarily.

"Shen Tinglu, what on earth are you trying to do?" Ming Xi looked around, worried about being discovered by others, and raised her hand to pat his chest.

And because of her action, the bouquet of roses in her hand slipped from her palm and fell on the steps.

The man looked at the bouquet of fiery red roses that fell at his feet, and without answering Ming Xi's words, he raised his foot and crushed the roses, and then carried her to the elevator.

Ming Xi looked at the bouquet of roses, obviously wanting to pick them up.

In the end, it was Du Ruize's thought, she couldn't ruin it so ruthlessly.

The man's joking voice came from the ear again: "Do you feel distressed?"

It was only then that Ming Xi realized that when she had just returned to the apartment, the man seemed to be staring at the rose in her hand.

So, is he angry because of this?

"I don't feel sorry for you, it has nothing to do with you." Ming Xi struggled to get out of his arms, Shen Ting Lv deliberately hugged her even tighter.

There were footsteps coming from behind, Shen Tinglu was dissatisfied with being interrupted, and looked at the person with a cold face.

Seeing that it was the middle-aged woman walking towards them, his face softened a little.

"Oh! I saw something I shouldn't have seen!" The middle-aged woman covered her eyes with her hands.

Ming Xi's face was extremely embarrassed, "Aunt Ping, you misunderstood."

She has also lived here for several months and has had some dealings with the neighbors on the same floor.

Because Aunt Ping has always been easy to get along with, Mingxi treats her kindly and kindly.

Aunt Ping waved her hand with an expression of 'I understand very well'.

But seeing that Shen Tinglu's face was still a little angry, she couldn't help but kindly said: "It's normal for lovers to have occasional conflicts. In fact, your boyfriend treats you very well. Last night she asked me for advice on how to please you." Happy!"

Ming Xi could hear the conversation between Shen Tinglu and Aunt Ping last night clearly.

Recalling the sincere tone of the man when he asked Aunt Ping for advice last night, she turned her head away in embarrassment, really not knowing what expression to use to face it.

The elevator door just opened, and Aunt Ping didn't want to disturb them, so she didn't follow into the elevator.

Finally reached the fifth floor, Ming Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said firmly again: "Put me down quickly."

"Let me see if your feet are hurt." The man's voice was rare and gentle.

Mingxi sighed helplessly, "Shen Tinglu, stop doing such useless things to me."

Shen Tinglu snorted softly, "Whether it is useful or not, you are not the only one who can decide."

He took out the key, opened the door of his house, and carried Ming Xi in together.

Knowing that she couldn't resist, Ming Xi let him put herself on the sofa.

She pouted, looking at his room out of the corner of her eye.

The layout of this room is exactly the same as hers, and the furniture is also very simple, which really does not conform to his living habits.

Every time Shen Tinglu was on a business trip before, he lived in a five-star top suite.

It's hard to imagine his life alone in this small house.

"Put your feet up."

He heard his voice next to her ear, and Ming Xi realized that he had returned to her with the first-aid kit.

She raised her foot, looked at her swollen ankle, and looked at him suspiciously, "Don't you hate the smell of plaster the most? I'll do it myself."

Shen Tinglu glanced at Mingxi's hand extending towards him, and quickly ignored her. After taking out a bottle of plaster, he took off Mingxi's high-heeled shoes, and gently spread the plaster on her ankle.

A cool feeling came from her ankle, and the gentle force of the man made her blush again.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the floor, not wanting Shen Tinglu to notice the emotion on her face.

"That bouquet of flowers was sent by Du Ruize." After applying the plaster on her feet, Shen Tinglu had an apologetic tone.

Ming Xi rolled her eyes, "I don't seem to have an obligation to report to you."

"It seems that you don't want to leave here tonight." The man was not annoyed, but his voice was obviously threatening.
