Flower Room

Chapter 26 Divorce
Shen Yufang kept picking up vegetables for Mengmeng, "Eat more, the teacher said you are too thin."

Mengmeng buried her head and said nothing, just put the rice into her mouth spoon by spoon, and suddenly asked: "Grandma, if I eat fast, will mom come back earlier?"

Shen Yufang was stunned, a little sad, this child is really obsessed, but said briskly: "Of course, when my mother calls at night, I will definitely tell her how good Mengmeng eats."

Mengmeng immediately gained momentum, chewing quickly with her bulging mouth.

Shao Lei walked down the stairs in dismay, and then sat down at the dining table.

Shen Yufang asked, "Where is Ah Yun?"

"He said he wasn't hungry."

Shen Yufang frowned, and said anxiously: "How can this be done? If you eat a little every day, your body won't be able to handle it."

She stood up and was about to go upstairs, but Shao Lei hurriedly stopped her.

"Mom! It's not like you don't know my brother's temper...I'll try to persuade you later."

Shen Yufang neither left nor sat, sighed heavily, and returned to her seat reluctantly.

"How about the company?"

Shao Lei was picking up the meal, feeling a little tasteless, frowned and said, "Fortunately, I take care of everything that needs to be taken care of, but... there are a few new projects that he personally watched at first, but now he has let go of them all. .”

"Could...some trouble happen?"

"That's not the case, brother is quite accurate in seeing people." Shao Lei said, his frowning eyebrows still could not be stretched, "I'm worried that he will get sick if he continues like this."

Shen Yufang was also worried, "Then... we have to find a way..."

Shao Lei smacked his lips and said, "The only way is to let my sister-in-law come back."

When Shen Yufang heard this, she could only smile wryly. Did she really make a mistake in persuading her to leave this time?

However, no matter what, Shao Lei's suggestion is unrealistic. Manzhi's meaning has been made very clear. Could it be possible to tie her back?

Mengmeng handed an empty bowl in front of her, and shouted loudly: "Grandma, I'm done eating."

Shen Yufang quickly patted her head, "Oh, I ate a lot and fast today, I must praise her."

Shao Lei grinned at Mengmeng and said, "Mengmeng, when uncle is on vacation, can I take you to Hong Kong Disneyland?"

Mengmeng shook her head immediately, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to wait for my mother at home."

Shao Lei teased her, "Disney has a lot of fun things, like... Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Snow White, there are so many of them."

Mengmeng was attracted, raised her head and asked, "Then—is there a Jerry mouse? I like that little mouse."

"Why not? There are all the cartoon animals you see in cartoons."

Mengmeng's eyes sparkled immediately, but when she thought of her mother, she hesitated again. What if her mother came back while she was away?
When heaven and man were at war, a figure flickered at the door, and it turned out to be her longing mother!

"Mom!" Mengmeng rushed forward with a scream.

Both Shen Yufang and Shao Lei looked back in amazement, and sure enough they saw Manzhi walking in from the door, they were both surprised and happy, and stood up at the same time.

Manzhi smiled all over her face, hugged Mengmeng who rushed forward, and kissed her twice, Mengmeng giggled happily, and said loudly: "Mom, uncle said he wants to take me to Disneyland, do you agree?" it is good?"

Manzhi caressed her somewhat thin face, and said softly: "Of course."

She came over with Mengmeng in her arms, and greeted both Shen Yufang and Shao Lei.

Shen Yufang was so excited that she remembered to ask, "Have you had dinner yet? I'll get it for you."

Manzhi hurriedly said: "I have eaten it."

Mengmeng hangs on Manzhi's neck like a little monkey and refuses to come down, the two of them sit on the sofa and talk endlessly.Shen Yufang and Shao Lei didn't dare to interrupt too much, and stayed by the side.They couldn't figure out what Manzhi was thinking, and they were all a little apprehensive.

Shao Lei made a cup of tea and put it in Manzhi's hand. When she saw it, she raised her head and smiled at him, saying thank you.

Shao Lei took the opportunity to ask: "Sister-in-law, are you coming back this time...won't you leave?"

Shen Yufang immediately stared at Manzhi nervously when she heard the words. Although she had talked with Manzhi before, Shao Yun's reaction made her unexpected. At this time, if Manzhi really changes her mind, she will be the happiest.

However, Manzhi remained silent, and only stretched out her hand to stroke the soft hair on Mengmeng's forehead. After a while, she asked, "Shao Yun...is he back?"

Shen Yufang hurriedly said: "Oh, yes, he is in the room." Then hurriedly added, "He came back very early this time."

Manzhi nodded thoughtfully, gently pulled Mengmeng off her body, put it aside, then got up and said, "I'll go see him."

Mengmeng jumped up, wanting to entangle Manzhi again, and shouted: "I'll go with you."

Shen Yufang hurriedly hugged Mengmeng, and coaxed: "Mengmeng is good, Mom and Dad have something to talk about, let's wait downstairs."

Shao Lei came over a few steps, leaned over and hugged Mengmeng and said, "Go, uncle will take you to watch cartoons."

Although Mengmeng was dissatisfied, she felt a little nervous when she saw that every adult had a serious look on her face.

"Mom, come find Mengmeng soon!" She said pitifully to Manzhi's back.

Manzhi turned around and smiled at her reassuringly, and agreed.

As soon as I opened the door, I felt a swish of coolness.

In the spacious room, the windows were mostly open. Shao Yun was only wearing a thin light gray sweater, lying on the sofa, with his head facing the door, and an arm resting on his forehead, motionless.

On the table next to the sofa, the stainless steel ashtray is still there, but it is very clean, and there is no smell of smoke in the air.

She didn't make a sound, and walked over to close the window first, the sound of pulling the window startled Shao Yun, he didn't open his eyes, but said wearily: "Mom, don't close it, I want to get some air."

Manzhi didn't stop her hands, and said softly: "It's very cold, you'll catch a cold."

Hearing her voice suddenly, Shao Yun was startled suddenly, but felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen.

After closing the window, Manzhi came over, stood in front of him, quietly looked at Shao Yun who was still lying on the sofa, and said in a calm tone: "Should we have a talk?"

Shao Yun could no longer lie down peacefully, so he sat up slowly, with a very reluctant expression on his face.He put his elbows on his knees, bowed his head, did not look at her, did not answer, and was playing with a small shiny object in his hand.

Manzhi sat down on the short pier opposite him, and cast her eyes on his hand unconsciously. After observing it carefully, it turned out to be her own ring. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned her head away.

The silence made the air more oppressive, Manzhi felt a little suffocated, and wanted to break the oppressive atmosphere, so she spoke first, "Your mother...has already told you?"

Shao Yun stared blankly at the ring on his fingertips, still silent.

Manzhi had no choice but to continue talking on her own, "I've thought about it, let Mengmeng... fight with you, I... don't fight with you." She tried her best to swallow the choked sobs welling up in her throat, calmed down, and said again : "As for the others, I don't have any requirements, you can do whatever you want."

Shao Yun waited for her to finish speaking, paused for a moment, and then said in a muffled voice, "What if I don't agree?"

Manzhi bit her lower lip and stared at his indifferent expression, which was completely different from what Shao Lei described to herself. On his face, Manzhi could not see any guilt or pain. The little tolerant mood disappeared in an instant.

"Whether you agree or not, I will leave Shao's house." She replied calmly.

Shao Yun secretly exerted force on his hand, and the platinum ring was almost embedded in his flesh, causing a pale depression on his fingertips, but he didn't feel any pain.

He suddenly looked at Manzhi with a fierce expression, "It's fine if I agree, but there is a condition."

Manzhi's heart relaxed, then tightened suddenly, and looked at him vigilantly.

Shao Yun leaned back slowly, his gaze on Manzhi gradually deepened, and his voice was unhurried, "You stay and stay with me for three days." The meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Manzhi blushed in astonishment, stood up abruptly, and walked out the door.

However, he only took two steps before Shao Yun grabbed his hand in time.

He held Manzhi firmly, and the coldness of his palm made her heart also cool down.

"If you want to negotiate with me, just hold your breath, sit down and talk." His voice was hoarse.

Manzhi took a long, deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in her heart, she kept comforting herself, it was the last time, she was angry with him for the last time.

So, after a few seconds of stalemate, Manzhi finally eased up, and the hand held by Shao Yun struggled vigorously, trying to shake him off, but failed.

"Sit down." With a little effort, he pulled Manzhi closer and sat down next to him.

Manzhi's body was a little stiff, but she still gave in. As soon as she sat down, she got rid of him fiercely, and tried to sit on the other side, but unfortunately she had already reached the armrest of the sofa.

"I'm sorry." Shao Yun was suddenly discouraged, his tone depressed.

Manzhi ignored him and just waited for his next words.

Shao Yun lowered his head and stared at the deep red carpet under the coffee table, the white carved patterns were intricate.

"Manzhi, have you...loved me?" He asked suddenly, with a hint of weakness in his tone.

Manzhi was stunned, not knowing how to answer him. At this point, is there any point in answering such a question?

Her silence was actually an answer to Shao Yun, and he didn't feel too sad, after all, he didn't expect a miracle to happen.Then he asked again: "So, do you hate me?"

Manzhi seemed to be lost in some kind of thought, she remained silent for a long time, Shao Yun raised his head slightly, and the hand holding the ring trembled slightly.

After a long time, Manzhi slowly shook her head, "No, I don't hate."

It takes energy to hate someone, but now she is only endlessly tired.

Shao Yun only felt that his throat was dry and his eyes were empty. He suddenly lowered his head, and despair spread all over his body again.

Once, he also thought that even if she doesn't love herself, it's good to hate herself. After all, it's also a flesh and blood relationship.

However, Manzhi didn't even hate him anymore.From now on, he really has nothing to do with her.

He suddenly burst out laughing, but the laughter was extremely desolate, his shoulders shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Such a strange scene made Manzhi uneasy. She wanted to stand up and say something, but her body seemed to be frozen, she couldn't move, and her mind was empty.

While he was in a daze, Shao Yun had already gradually moved towards her, getting closer and closer, and when Manzhi realized that he had already completely laid his face on her lap.

Manzhi froze, not daring to move.

Shao Yun suddenly stopped laughing and just lay down quietly, but his whole body seemed to be immersed in some kind of boundless mourning.

She had never seen Shao Yun like this. He had always been proud and conceited. She had never behaved so cowardly before. She was shocked by him.

He just buried his head in her lap like a helpless child.After a while, she slowly said: "But, I fell in love with you...a long time ago...when I married you...maybe—earlier."

His tone was so sad and hopeless, as if falling in love with her was a very sad thing.

Manzhi's ears were buzzing, only his mournful and hoarse voice kept lingering and circling...

When they were about to separate, he finally lowered his proud head to her, and was finally willing to admit that he loves her!

Shao Yun suddenly realized at the last moment that Manzhi's body was not the only thing that attracted him all these years. He had already fallen in love with her deeply in the years when he was still ignorant of what love is.

When she aggressively came to him to ask for his sister back, he had already been knocked out of his heart by her unconsciously, and he could no longer easily erase that figure.

He also finally understood that he didn't marry her to make her atonement, nor did he want to torture her, it was just because he loved her!
He loves her, so he must keep her by his side, no matter what reason or means.

However, Shao Yun did not understand such a simple truth until now!
Manzhi stretched out her hand tremblingly, and gently brushed the thick hair roots at the back of his head. It was black and thick, and a little prickly.

She suddenly burst into tears, "I know."

She has always been so smart, how can she not see his heart clearly!
She had already vaguely understood that night when he desperately "occupied" herself.

Over the years, she watched him struggle and ups and downs in contradictions, and she gradually understood his mind.If there is no such engraved comprehension, how can Manzhi survive these miserable and long years!

However, even if she understood, there was nothing she could do about it.

They don't understand what it should be like to love someone.

He replaced tenderness with toughness, and thoughtfulness with sarcasm, tearing love into hate step by step.And she is by no means a person who has everything when there is love. They all regard their dignity as more important than love.

There are also those past events that always follow around like a nightmare, constantly causing disputes, no one is willing to admit defeat, no one is willing to bow their heads first, so they can only let time dilute the grievances.

Time did it, however, it also dilutes the love once had, again and again...

At this moment, Manzhi, who was crying so hard, finally completely forgave Shao Yun, the "sinking" she once hated, and everything that happened between them!
No matter how bad Shao Yun is, no matter how wrong it is for Man Zhi to fall in love with him, but love is love, there are no words to whitewash, no excuses to cover up.

At this moment, they realized very clearly that they once loved each other deeply!

Shao Yun tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, and the face buried deep in her knees was twisted in pain, as if falling into convulsions.He was shaking so badly that Manzhi couldn't take it anymore, and felt heartbroken.

Tears gushed out again and fell into Shao Yun's hair drop by drop. He didn't avoid it, but just smelled it carefully. It was Manzhi's tears. It was hot and cold again.

She endured it for so many years, and finally dripped down...

At the door, Shen Yufang quietly wiped her tears and retreated silently.

No matter what the future holds for the two of them, at this moment, she already feels relieved.

Manzhi didn't sleep well all night. She always woke up constantly. Every time she woke up, she couldn't help but turn on the little lamp beside the bed to look at Mengmeng in her sleep. There was a hint of sweetness on her little face. And satisfied, even when she fell asleep, she still stretched out her little hand on Manzhi's pillow with worry. Manzhi remembered that she held her face firmly before going to sleep, as if she was afraid that she would run away at any time.

Tightening the quilt for the child, she stared at her blankly for a while, feeling a little sore in her heart after all, she sighed silently, reached out and turned off the light.

The alarm clock rang for a long time, Mengmeng heard it first, rubbed her eyes, then turned her head away, and saw Manzhi beside her, who was sleeping soundly, she grinned and smiled.

Stretching out her little hand, she pushed Manzhi hard, "Mom, wake up."

Manzhi was jolted awake in extreme sleepiness, turned over in a daze to look at the alarm clock, and hurriedly got up again.

Shen Yufang just opened the door and came in. Seeing Manzhi's tired expression, she thoughtfully said, "You can sleep a little longer, and I'll see Mengmeng off."

When Mengmeng heard this, she immediately became unhappy, and her mouth was raised high. Last night, she and Manzhi had already agreed, and they even pulled the hook.

Manzhi put on her clothes very quickly, and went to help Mengmeng again, saying: "I'll deliver it, I'll deliver it."

Seeing this, Shen Yufang couldn't hold on anymore.

After washing up, I came downstairs, the dining room was quiet, breakfast was thoughtfully arranged on the table, everything was the same as before.

Seeing that Manzhi seemed a little restless, Shen Yufang seemed to guess her thoughts, and said with a smile: "The two brothers left early in the morning."

Manzhi smiled at her shyly, and sat down with Mengmeng. She didn't know why she felt reserved, maybe her mood really changed.

Mengmeng ate very fast, which surprised Manzhi. In the past, she was anxious to eat a meal, and she could not even lie and coax her for an hour.

"Grandma said, as long as I eat well, you will come back. So I will eat fast every day from now on." Mengmeng explained vaguely with a large piece of bread stuffed in her mouth.

Manzhi's nose felt sore, she lowered her head to drink the porridge in the bowl.

Shen Yufang sat across from Manzhi with apprehension all the time, and at this moment she finally couldn't help saying, "Manzhi, come back early."

Manzhi understood that her coming back this time would inevitably cause misunderstandings, but she still came.Maybe it was because Shao Lei sent her such a message, maybe, she herself felt that the delay was too long, and no matter what, she needed to end it.

Since Shao Yun has been reluctant to move first, then let him take the initiative.

After a long silence, Manzhi still looked at Shen Yufang, and said slowly: "Mom... I will come back to see you often in the future."

Such an answer made Shen Yufang sad, but there was nothing she could do. Worry and helplessness were intertwined on her plump face. Manzhi reached out and held her, but she was also speechless.

Mengmeng poked his head to look at this, then glanced at that, and asked a little sensitively: "What's the matter with you?"

Manzhi stroked her head and said calmly: "Eat quickly, I will take you there after eating."

After walking out, I realized that the sun was very good today. Manzhi glanced at the bright light, feeling a little dizzy, after all, she didn't sleep well at night.

Mengmeng looked around very maturely, and said, "Huh? Where did Lao Zhang go?"

Usually, Lao Zhang will pick up and drop off by car every time.

Manzhi smiled and patted her on the head, "How did you learn how to talk? Mom is driving today."

After walking a few steps, they heard a car honking shortly behind them. The two turned their heads at the same time. When they saw the car, Mengmeng immediately shouted in surprise: "Daddy is back!"

Sure enough, it was Shao Yun.

He stopped the car on the spot, came out quickly, and walked this way quickly. When he got to the front, he couldn't help but hug Mengmeng, and said very naturally: "Let's go, I'll see you off."

His expression was always calm, but he was slightly panting, probably because he walked too quickly.

Manzhi couldn't react a little bit, she just stood there and didn't move.

Shao Yun had already carried Mengmeng to the side of the car, opened the door and stuffed Mengmeng in, then straightened up and looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said: "Get in the car."

The cute little head immediately poked out from the open car door and called out to her.

Manzhi had no choice but to walk over and asked, "Don't you need to go to the company?"

Shao Yun said lightly, "I just came back."

He went to the company before dawn, and after finishing a few urgent matters, he hurried home, fearing that it would be too late, but fortunately, both of them hadn't left yet.

Manzhi sat side by side with Mengmeng in the back seat, Mengmeng was happy for a while, then suddenly became depressed.

"Mom, will you pick me up after school?"

Manzhi held her soft little hand, pursed her lower lip in embarrassment, thought about it, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

Shao Yun secretly looked at Manzhi from the rearview mirror with a complicated expression.

It's only a ten-minute drive from Shao's house to the kindergarten, and it's there in a blink of an eye.

Manzhi and Mengmeng got out of the car together. Seeing that Shao Yun had no intention of leaving, she couldn't help leaning over to the window and explained: "I'll just go back to the store by myself after seeing her off. Go do your work. "

Shao Yun glanced at her and said peacefully, "I'll wait for you."

Knowing that he was never persuaded, Manzhi bit her lip, stopped talking, turned her head and went in with Mengmeng.

Shao Yun kept staring at Manzhi's figure, drifting away, with indescribable emotions in his heart, he took out a cigarette from the storage box in agitation, took out one casually, and held it between his fingertips, the lighter crackled, About to light up, suddenly thought of something, stopped abruptly, and after a while, put away the cigarette again.Manzhi doesn't like the smell of smoke.

Soon she saw Manzhi coming out, and she saw Shao Yun's car at a glance, but she was actually waiting by the side of the road, a little disconsolate, and her pace was getting slower and slower.

Shao Yun pretended not to see her faltering expression, reached out and directly opened the passenger door, waiting for her.

Manzhi bit the bullet and got in, fastened her seat belt, and said in a low voice, "Go directly to the store, thank you."

Shao Yun didn't say anything, the car backed up silently, and then drove forward extremely fast.

Neither of them had anything to say, so they sat there dryly.

Manzhi remembered how embarrassed he was last night, and secretly glanced at him. Shao Yun drove the car as usual, but her own face was slightly burning.

After driving for a while, I realized that the direction was wrong. Manzhi was a little stunned, "Where are you going?"

Shao Yun controlled the steering wheel steadily, and answered very simply: "Take you to a place."

Manzhi was puzzled, frowned and said, "Where is it?"

Shao Yun heard her dissatisfied tone, turned his head and glanced at her quickly, and said with a half-smile: "Don't be nervous, I will never feel bad for you."

Manzhi immediately turned her head to look out the window and said nothing, since she had already boarded the "thief ship" anyway, since he didn't want to say anything, she didn't bother to ask any more.

The distance is very long, and the car is galloping forward.Gradually, sleepiness hit her, and she only felt that her eyelids were heavy.

The car seemed to be too quiet, Shao Yun turned his head and took a quick glance, and found that she was asleep, with her head crookedly leaning on the back of the chair, her hair messy, her body curled up slightly, as if she was afraid of the cold, even though The heater was on in the car.

Shao Yun parked the car on the side of the road, but Manzhi didn't realize that she was really tired.

He took off his coat and gently put it on Manzhi.The wisp of hair on her forehead made Shao Yun's heart itch, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to put it behind her ear, and once his fingertips touched her smooth skin, he couldn't bear to leave, and gently touched her face roam.

She slept so deeply that she didn't feel Shao Yun's touch at all. He really wanted to kiss her lips, but he wasn't sure if it would wake her up.

However, he couldn't bear it after all, so he slowly bent over.They were already very close, only about half an inch away, and the sweetness of her body that made him dreamy could already be heard clearly, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

But Manzhi moved suddenly, frowned, seemed uncomfortable, tilted her head heavily, finally satisfied with the angle, and fell asleep again.

Shao Yun regained consciousness when she interrupted him.Stretching out her hands empty, the temperature on her cheeks still remained at the fingertips.

He finally retracted wistfully, sat upright, and restarted the car.

This sleep was very enjoyable.

Manzhi opened her eyes, the sun was so dazzling, she instinctively stretched out her hand to block her sight, and when her eyes got used to it, she turned her head to look, and found that she was alone in the car, with the heater blowing, and she was wearing Shao Yun jacket, very warm.

She clenched her fist and beat her forehead, a little confused, so she pushed open the car door and got out.

Everywhere is green, even on a winter day like this.

Manzhi was greatly surprised, looked around, and suddenly understood where it was.

More than ten years ago, she often took several buses and ran here to enjoy the fun of roaming among the flowers in the name of watching her father.

This is the place she yearned for most when she was a girl - Yishan.

Under a simple pergola a few meters away, Shao Yun was standing and chatting with a flower farmer. Both of them held a cigarette in their hands. The curling blue smoke circled two curves and then slowly dissipated.They seemed to be chatting happily, Shao Yun raised his face and smiled from time to time, and nodded frequently.

Manzhi walked all the way to them, and Shao Yun noticed it, and immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, fixed his slightly narrowed eyes on her face, inserted his hands into his trouser pockets habitually, and asked with a smile: "Did you sleep well?" ?”

Manzhi was a little embarrassed that she would fall asleep in his car, so she concealed and handed over the clothes in her hand, he always wore so little.

Shao Yun paused for a moment, then took it in his hand, and casually put it in the crook of his arm. It was very warm under the sun, and he didn't feel cold.

Hua Nong's surname is Xiao. He is over 50 years old, but he looks like a businessman. At this time, he said from the side: "Mr. Shao, why don't you go now?"

Shao Yun glanced at Manzhi and nodded his approval.

Yishan is the largest afforestation base in the surrounding area. Along the way, it is a beautiful pastoral scenery. Manzhi is in a good mood. Many memories of the past are gradually activated, and the scenes are vividly presented.

Walking through a slope, she suddenly asked Lao Xiao loudly, "Did a lot of camellias grow here in the past?"

Old Xiao walked in the front, he was used to running on mountain roads, his steps were fast, he was some distance away from them, his voice was indistinct, not very clear, "Well, I planted it, there are..." in a vague way Unclear, as if he hesitated to speak.

The terrain in front of her was so familiar, but the camellias in her impression had been replaced by large saplings. She felt a little regretful, as if someone had grabbed her memory out of thin air.

She was just in a daze for a while, and she stepped on the ground and was about to fall. Thanks to a hand stretched out in time, she hugged her tightly. When she raised her head, Shao Yun was looking down at him.

"What are you thinking about? You're so excited." He just held her steady and let go quickly.

Manzhi stroked her hair on her sideburns embarrassingly, and then she remembered to ask, "Why did you bring me here?"

Shao Yun didn't answer, but asked her instead, "Don't you like it?"

Manzhi couldn't tell, after all, she couldn't get back the joyful mood she had when she was a girl, how easy it was to be satisfied back then.

She wanted to ask where she was going now, but thinking about Shao Yun, she might not be willing to say it, so she simply shut up and followed obediently.

After a good night's sleep, I felt refreshed, and the air in the mountains was good, so I didn't feel tired after a long walk.

The mountain road twists and turns, and I don’t know how many turns. Finally, a large flat area comes into view. In the center of the flat ground, there is a huge round bow flower house. The translucent covering material makes it difficult to see what is inside. .

Old Xiao turned around and said to the two of them, "Here we are. Take your time, I'm leaving first." He left with a smile.

Manzhi looked at Shao Yun with some doubts, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly took her hand, and said solemnly: "Go in and have a look."

His palm was very hot, maybe it was because of the long walk, Manzhi only felt that the heat was a bit scorching, but she couldn't break free, so she could only let him drag her, and stepped in together.

The scene in front of her made Manzhi breathless in astonishment!
All camellias in full bloom!Each plant is beautiful and tall, with clusters of rose red, purple, peach pink, and snow white rushing into her field of vision.They are densely packed next to each other, forming a sea of ​​flowers!
Shao Yun held her tightly and walked into the flower room, and the gorgeous colors spread all around them, so intense that they could hardly hold them together, they almost wanted to support the two of them out of thin air.

In such a magnificent sea of ​​flowers, Manzhi heard Shao Yun say softly: "This is the only place I can find where camellias are still blooming..."

Manzhi suddenly couldn't bear such beauty, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, she only felt that her eye sockets were hot and humid, her vision was gradually blurred, and the large blocks of color became softer because of the blur...

Shao Yun's gaze was glued to her face all the time, and at this moment he couldn't help it any longer, and with a slight retraction of his hand, he pulled Manzhi closer, and slowly moved away her hand covering her mouth, without any hesitation, Kissed affectionately.

He firmly held the back of Manzhi's head with his hand, rolling between her lips with endless love and tenderness, sucking for a long time and tenderly.

Manzhi pressed her hand firmly against his chest, at a loss for what to do.Shao Yun has never kissed her like this before. In the past, his kisses were always so domineering and full of strong desire.

She suddenly became dazed, as if it was not Shao Yun who was kissing her now, but a complete stranger.

The boundary between the sky and the earth is blurred, and time seems to have forgotten to move forward. The world is so still that it seems to have forgotten this place, and it wants to freeze this scene forever...

Shao Yun finally let go of Manzhi reluctantly. He saw the remaining tears on her face, so he raised his hand to wipe them away for her carefully. There was drowning tenderness in his eyes. He suddenly hugged Manzhi into his arms, She murmured, "I'm sorry."

Manzhi sniffed, trying to control her tears, her head was pressed against Shao Yun's chest, his slightly hoarse voice penetrated through the chest cavity, reaching her heart with a slight tremor.

"You said that you like the feeling of walking among flowers... You also said that when you are old or tired, you will open a flower shop... I am too stupid to always ignore your feelings... Manzhi, you are tired, aren't you?"

Manzhi's tears couldn't be held back, and along with all the painful pain, they poured out silently and wet Shao Yun's chest.

Once, she thought she was strong enough, but it turned out that she was weaker than anyone else.

Shao Yun lifted her chin lightly, her face was only tender and pitiful, and there was no trace of toughness on her face, like a snail that had lost its shell, all the weapons were removed, and he suddenly felt heartache.

His Manzhi is not as hard and cold as he imagined, her strength is just forced out.

"I brought you here to let you know that I remember everything you said before." He spoke slowly, and finally asked, "Manzhi, I still have a chance...to keep You?"

Manzhi lowered her eyes, and her thick eyelashes were wet with tears, making them look extraordinarily black and long. She couldn't answer, and her heart was in a mess.

The six-year marriage was entwined with unspeakable love and hatred, which had already exhausted her physically and mentally, almost suffocating her.

Even if she and Shao Yun reached an understanding today, how could the pain that has been engraved in her heart for a long time be wiped away so easily? There will always be a hole that is difficult to heal, and her heart is the same, the pain is already numb, and after all, it is full of scars, and she can't step over it as if nothing happened.

What's more, another figure has quietly broken into her heart, his words and demeanor are so in line with Manzhi's ideals, whether it is comfort or sustenance, no matter what, Chang Shaohui has already occupied a place in her heart .Although the warmth he gave to Manzhi was not enough, it was still profound.

In Manzhi's life, she has almost never tried such a complete relaxation and comfort. All along, she has been living for others and living for responsibilities.

Now, she is very tired and exhausted, just longing for a quiet and peaceful life, not living for any purpose or responsibility, just for herself, an independent life that belongs to her completely.

After waiting for a long time, Manzhi finally whispered, "I'm sorry, I... want to live a quiet life alone."

Her head was lowered so low, because she knew that this was not what Shao Yun wanted, and with his temper, she couldn't pass the test smoothly.

Shao Yun's heart sank as he was suspended in the air, he forced a smile, he didn't get angry, and he didn't dare to force her.

Although it was expected, there was still some heartache. He took a deep breath, finally stabilized himself, and said calmly: "Manzhi, if... you will feel better if you leave me, then... I respect your respect." choose."

Manzhi looked up at him in astonishment, she never thought that Shao Yun would agree so easily, his face was solemn and dignified, for the first time in history, he compromised with her!
Manzhi felt that she was too worthless. She couldn't tell how many tears she had shed in the past two days.She sobbed and buried herself in his arms, his arms were strong and powerful, like a quiet harbor, but she had never felt it before.

Shao Yun hugged her tightly with regret, his heart was full of sadness, he missed Manzhi unknowingly, and missed happiness.

But he no longer hesitates, one day, he will let Manzhi willingly return to his side.

The house has two bedrooms and one living room. It is extremely tidy and tidy. The design style is crisp and neat, but the details are not neglected. Every decoration seems to be very appropriate, and there is an indescribably comfortable and warm feeling.

Manzhi looked around, all the furniture was new, she looked at it carefully, and liked it very much, everything met her requirements, even far exceeded.

I was a little confused again, as if something was wrong.

Perhaps, it was because of the brand of furniture, she remembered seeing it in a certain magazine, it was the one Shao Yun liked very much, it was simple but elegant.

Shangguan Lin always smiled and followed her with her hands behind her back, and only then asked: "Are you satisfied?"

Manzhi nodded happily, and asked in doubt: "But, for such a good house, will the rent be so cheap? The landlord is a little strange."

Shangguan patted her on the shoulder, "Oh, they are not short of money, they just want someone to look after the house, so I especially emphasized that the residents should be of good character, and nothing else matters."

Manzhi nodded thoughtfully, and felt a little relieved that it would not be a problem if she was kicked out halfway through her stay. She smiled and said, "Then you can tell the other party, I promise to return when I go back." Everything is fine."

Shangguan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if something is broken, just use yourself to pay others."

Manzhi was happy in her heart, and unconsciously leaned forward playfully to give her a punch, and said with a smile, "Nonsense!"

Shangguan dodged deftly, and shouted: "Really, I won't lie to you, the landlord is an out-and-out handsome guy!"

Out of the door satisfied, Shangguan raised his hand to look at his watch, and frowned, "Yo, it's getting late, and I have an appointment with the director to see a client, so I have to leave immediately."

Manzhi hurriedly said: "Then go quickly, thank you for the house matter."

Shangguan waved at her, and couldn't help asking: "Where are you going? Shall I give you a ride?"

"No need, I... made an appointment with Shao Yun at the lawyer's firm."

The Shangguan said "Oh", and it was indeed not on the way, so he didn't say anything, so he waved his hand and left in a hurry.

As soon as the taxi stopped at the gate of the office, the phone rang.While paying the money, Shangguan rushed to pick it up.

A pleasant male voice came over, "Is she satisfied?"

Shangguan chuckled a few times, "It seems to be okay, your arrangement is so delicate that she almost made her suspicious."

There was also laughter from the other end of the phone, "It's good that she likes it." After a pause, he said sincerely, "Thank you, Shangguan."

"Okay, okay, I'm really not used to you talking politely, I'm busy, hang up." After finishing speaking, he hung up the line.I couldn't help but whisper in my heart, these two people are so tired!
Shao Yun put down his phone, but the smile on his lips hadn't faded in time. Lawyer Qian pushed the door open and handed him a contract, "Shao Dong, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Shao Yun took it over and asked while flipping through it, "Are there any loopholes?"

"Well, there is generally no problem. If the other party must fight this lawsuit, our chance of winning is 80.00%."

Shao Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why not [-]%?"

Lawyer Qian pushed his glasses, smiled shrewdly, and pointed to a clause in the contract with his pen, "There is still a 20.00% risk here."

Shao Yun read it carefully, and really felt something was wrong, so he frowned and asked, "Can you make up for it?"

Before Lawyer Qian could speak, there was a knock on the door, and the assistant came in to report, "Mr. Shao, your wife is here."

Lawyer Qian immediately asked Shao Yun for his opinion.

Shao Yun threw the contract on the table, stood up, and said to Lawyer Qian, "Come over after finishing the housework."

In the reception room, Manzhi was sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The glass case was so bright that it could be used as a mirror.

When the door opened, someone came in.Walking in front was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, Shao Yun followed behind him, dressed in a very formal dark suit, with a tall figure and a particularly heroic appearance.

Manzhi stood up, nodded and smiled at the two of them politely, her eyes flicked to Shao Yun, a little flustered for some reason, he rarely dressed so formally, it seemed like a different person.

He went straight to Manzhi, took a deep look at her, and said, "Sit down." Finally, there was a trace of helplessness in his tone.Lawyer Qian was very polite, took out the divorce agreement that had been prepared, and handed each of them a copy.

The agreement was basically drawn up according to Shao Yun's intention, and this was the first time Manzhi saw it.

"Mrs. Shao... Oh no, Ms. Su, if you have any questions or comments, you can discuss with Mr. Shao and make changes." Lawyer Qian instructed her according to the procedure.

Manzhi nodded while carefully reviewing each item.

Looking at it, she felt uncomfortable. Regarding the property division, the long list of numbers and complicated items in her name made her very uneasy. She moved a little closer to Shao Yun and asked in a low voice: "These, what's going on?"

Shao Yun glanced at where her finger was, turned back as if nothing had happened, continued to stare at the copy in his hand, and said casually: "That's what happened."

"I...I can't have these." She bit her lip again, but her tone was stubborn.

Shao Yun didn't raise his head, "Then leave."

Manzhi froze there, not knowing how to deal with it for a while, she never thought that after getting divorced, she would become a rich woman.

Lawyer Qian saw that these two people were awkward and funny, and smiled from the side: "Hehe, many women wish they could argue a little more when they negotiate for divorce! Miss Su, your income is completely within the reasonable range, it's nothing .”

Manzhi didn't speak in embarrassment, but Shao Yun frowned and said, "Lawyer Qian means——I paid too little?"

In a panic, Lawyer Qian went to push the frame again, "Wow, that's not what I meant." He hated himself for talking too much.

Shao Yun pondered, as if he was really thinking about it, "Maybe...you are right, I can give her an additional [-]% equity."

He picked up a pen and was about to revise the agreement.

Manzhi couldn't care about anything else, snatched the pen from him, and said discouragedly, "I'll sign it."

Shao Yun couldn't help chuckling, but his gaze on her was extremely gentle.

He admitted that he had selfish intentions. Manzhi inherited part of the property of the Shao family, so in essence, she was still a member of the Shao family.

On the opposite side of the desk, Shao Lei's eyes were bigger than a cow's, "Brother, you...you just left?"

The pen in Shao Yun's hand was spinning fast, and he couldn't stand Shao Lei's fuss, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, frowned and asked: "Otherwise, what should I do?"

"Then at least, you can have a good talk with your sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is not unreasonable."

Shao Yun couldn't help laughing, but the smile quickly faded from his face. He felt uncomfortable, stood up, walked towards the window, and murmured an explanation, as if he was talking to himself.

"This marriage has always been a knot in her heart, because it was not voluntary, and now that it is dissolved, she must feel more at ease."

After Shao Lei heard it, he couldn't help but "cut", and teased: "Brother, when did you become so great."

Shao Yun turned around and shrugged his shoulders at his younger brother, "Am I great? You're flattering me too much." His eyes narrowed as usual, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled into a sly smile.

Shao Lei stared at the smile on his face in confusion, and muttered: "In case my sister-in-law is really snatched away by that man, I'll see if you can still laugh."

The smile on Shao Yun's lips remained undiminished, "Xiao Lei, is your brother so useless?"

Shao Lei stared blankly at his brother. Compared with before, his face was indeed a bit more sophisticated and sophisticated. The shrewd and determined look in his eyes was exactly the same as his self-confidence after making a decision every time.

Shao Lei suddenly discovered that his elder brother was no longer the self-willed son who was full of emotions and anger.

After signing the agreement, it dragged on for a while, and Manzhi had to move out, so she found an opportunity to have a showdown with Mengmeng.

The set of words that had been typed countless times was delivered by her tactfully and carefully, but Mengmeng still cried out of control.

Manzhi flustered her hands and feet, coaxing her mouth so dry that she was at a loss for words.

"Mengmeng, don't be like this, mom really left because of something... Usually you go to school with grandma, and on Friday, mom will come to pick you up, every week."

Mengmeng still stubbornly refused to nod, and just looked at herself with teary eyes.

Shen Yufang listened anxiously, seeing Shao Yun and Shao Lei coming back early, if they encountered rescuers, she hurriedly said: "Let's have dinner first, we will talk after dinner."

Shao Yun understood the scene immediately, stepped forward to hug Mengmeng, and said briskly: "Come on, Mengmeng has a talk with Dad, what's going on?" Saying that, he left the embarrassing people behind , and her daughter went directly into the study.

Manzhi sat at the table in a daze, not in the mood to eat, Shen Yufang put a bowl of fish soup in front of her, and said softly: "Don't worry, children have to take their time. If it doesn't work, let her go with the meal first." You go and stay for a while."

Hearing this, Manzhi was very grateful.

In the study, Shao Yun silently listened to Mengmeng's indignant accusation, while wiping her tears.

When she was almost done venting, she asked seriously: "So, does Mengmeng still like mom?"

Mengmeng pouted, and after a while she lowered her head and said, "I like it."

Shao Yun smiled slightly, and suddenly leaned close to Mengmeng's ear, whispering mysteriously, "Dad assures you, I will definitely let Mommy go home soon."

Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she glared at Shao Yun happily, "Really? Dad doesn't allow you to lie."

Shao Yun sullenly said, "Of course it's true. But there is a condition."

"What is it?" Mengmeng asked childishly.

"You can't be willful with your mother. You have to obey her obediently, so that your mother will come back happily, right?"

Mengmeng made sense after thinking about it, so she agreed resoundingly.

When she reappeared in the restaurant, Manzhi was surprised to find that Mengmeng was surprisingly obedient. Her eyes swept towards Shao Yun suspiciously, but Shao Yun pretended not to see her and told Mengmeng to eat quickly as if nothing had happened.

Under the night, the lights on the lawn emit a faint white light, like a moon falling into the world, soft and in a trance.

Although it was warm winter, it was still cold late at night. Manzhi stepped on the grass, making a very slight rustling sound.

Shao Yun sat on the swing in ecstasy, like a sculpture, with one hand hanging lazily, there was a little orange-red light between his fingers, he was still, and no smoke could be seen.

Manzhi stopped in front of him, Shao Yun raised his head passively, glanced at her, then lowered his head again, and asked in a muffled voice: "Is Mengmeng asleep?"

"Yeah." Manzhi said, and sat down on a cute mushroom-shaped stool beside him.

"Tomorrow... I have to go to Yunnan early in the morning... I can't see you off." His voice was a little hoarse, showing a little loneliness.

"It's okay," she whispered.

There was silence again.

Shao Yun tried his best to create a relaxed atmosphere, chuckled a few times and said, "From now on, I have to call you 'ex-wife'."

Manzhi lowered her head, trying to laugh, but couldn't.

Shao Yun stretched out his hand and held Manzhi's right hand, it was still so cold, she came out without a coat on, he was a little distressed, and stood up, "Go in, it's too cold outside."

Manzhi passively followed him up, but was embraced by him again.

He hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Manzhi...you must have a good time." He almost gritted his teeth and said.

Manzhi's eyes were red, she broke free from Shao Yun's arms, nodded desperately, Shao Yun's lips fell gently, and pressed a deep kiss on her forehead.

Early in the morning, before Cheng Mengmeng woke up, Manzhi got up, dressed and washed, and quietly left the room with her already packed luggage.

There are few things, and even after living here for three years, she always looks like a tourist.

In the dining room, there was still Shen Yufang, sitting alone, depressed, Manzhi walked downstairs, her small footsteps startled her, Shen Yufang immediately smiled, got up and said: "Let's go after eating breakfast."

Manzhi put down the things in her hands, instead of sitting down at the table, she walked up to Shen Yufang and put her arms around her.

"Mom!" She put her face on Shen Yufang's shoulder and called out emotionally.

Shen Yufang's throat was choked up, she couldn't say anything, she just patted her on the back for a long time, and finally said: "Remember to come back often."

Manzhi nodded vigorously.

It's finally time to leave.The wish she had been longing for for so long was about to come true, but she couldn't feel ease and joy, and there was always something heavy in her heart.She couldn't tell, maybe it was Mengmeng's teary eyes, or maybe it was Shen Yufang's reluctant gaze.

However, she still had to leave.Manzhi has never been a sentimental person. Now that she has made a decision, remember to only look forward and never look back.
