After I was released from prison, I had a flash marriage with my billionaire husband

"Indeed." Shen Muting thought for a while and came up with a plan, "Otherwise, I have an idea. You can see if it works. You and Guan Ningning ask her to design your dresses and find someone to order them. I wear it when I’m a bridesmaid.”

"That's a good way."

With Manman's design talent, it takes only a matter of minutes to design two sets of dresses.

"Then let's do it." Shen Muting said.

"Okay, there's no need to send her off. You go back and take care of her. I'll come back tomorrow." After saying that, Tangxin got into the car and drove away.

Shen Muting returned to the villa.

He didn't approach Li Man and the child until the cold air dissipated.

Li Man said: "What took you so long? What did you and Xin'er talk about?"

"I asked what time I would come over tomorrow to help with the moving or something." Shen Muting gave an excuse.

Li Man didn't think too much and smiled, "You also said to move slowly, but actually there won't be much stuff tomorrow."

"Well, you called her to help you move."

"Well, moving is secondary. The main thing is to let her go to the new home to find the door. You know best. It's not easy to find it there."

"Indeed." Shen Muting agreed.

Xu Jing'an finally found that place according to his request. It can even be said to be a bit secluded and a bit of a paradise. In the future, he also wants to spend the relaxing days with Li Man and his children picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan. .

The next day, Xu Jing'an and Gu Huaixi were planning to go back to Jiangzhou, but in order to create more opportunities for Xu Jing'an to spend more time with Guan Ningning, they delayed their return to Jiangzhou.

They changed the flight to Monday morning.

The hot pot restaurant, filled with the aroma of meat and aniseed, is full of fireworks.

With Gu Huaixi here, the atmosphere is always warm.

Guan Ningning clinked glasses with them again and again, drinking sips, feeling magical. She never expected that one day she would be able to drink with Xu Jing'an and Gu Huaixi like this, and friends of friends would become friends.

I drank a little too much without realizing it.

When Guan Ningning was working as a secretary in Huanyu, she had a good drinking capacity. Today, for some reason, Gu Huaixi said they drank beer first because it wasn't strong enough, so she changed it to liquor. Guan Ningning only drank a little liquor. It was probably the first time I drank together, and I realized later that I was already drunk.

After eating, several people got up and prepared to leave. Guan Ningning felt that she was top-heavy and light, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

Xu Jing'an quickly grabbed her and subconsciously took a step forward to let her lean into his arms.

Across the sweater, Guan Ningning's breath was filled with his fresh, cedar-like breath. After such a long time, she still felt familiar, as if it had seeped into her bones and blood and had never been separated. Guan Ningning was greedy for this kind of breath, and she felt that she was worthless. , I have worked hard for so long and done so much, but all my efforts were wasted because he drank some wine and was helped by him.

She thought, just by drinking, pretending to be very drunk, and letting herself covet this moment, just this moment.

Xu Jing'an's arms were tightly wrapped around Guan Ningning's waist. Looking at the woman in his arms, his heartbeat seemed to revive and beat faster.

My arms are full, and my empty heart feels a little full.

The three of them left the store and walked to the roadside. The car Gu Huaixi called arrived.

After Xu Jing'an helped Guan Ningning sit in the car, Gu Huaixi closed the door of the back seat and reported the address of Guan Ningning's community to the master in the driver's seat.

He didn't get in the car, and then said to Xu Jing'an: "You will definitely feel uncomfortable if you are drunk. You take care of her, and I will take a taxi back to the hotel."

"Yes." Xu Jing'an responded lightly.

Guan Ningning was in a dilemma. She pretended to be drunk and walked out with Xu Jing'an's arms all the way. She didn't dare to say anything at the moment. In order not to expose her flaws, she could only grit her teeth and play it out.

The taxi driver started the car. The port city was not big, and it didn't take long to arrive at Guan Ningning's community.

Xu Jing'an remembered which building Guan Ningning lived in, and told the driver the driving route after entering the community. When he arrived, he took Guan Ningning out of the car.

Guan Ningning maintained her drunken posture, but her heartbeat was accelerating uncontrollably. She looked at the familiar community environment around her, struggled to stand up, and said to Xu Jing'an, "I'm here. Thank you for sending me back. I You can go upstairs by yourself."

This is her last resort of reason and persistence.

They are over and it is not suitable to take one more step forward.

Xu Jing'an also knew, but still insisted: "I will send you up, and I will leave after you enter."

"No, thank you. It's getting late. You can go back." Guan Ningning had been pretending to be drunk, but now she was sober.

She pointed upstairs, "Fifth floor, the door on the left. I can go up there by myself. When the light turns on, it means I'm home successfully."

She forced herself to be rational and not do something she knew she couldn't do. There was no regret in this world, and she couldn't fall for the same person twice.

Thinking of this, Guan Ningning opened Xu Jing'an's arm, took two steps back, and kept a certain distance from him. The cold air of deep winter was in her breath, and the coldness made her sober.

"I'm going up. Thank you for sending me back." Guan Ningning turned around and walked into the unit door, walked directly to the elevator and pressed the button.

Xu Jing'an took two steps forward, but finally stopped and did not follow further.

Guan Ningning was obviously resistant to him. Being able to eat and chat in peace these two days was already many times better than watching the fireworks.

He should slow down and not rush forward, otherwise it will only arouse Guan Ningning's resentment and resistance.

Xu Jing'an stood downstairs.

The winter in Gangcheng is drier than that in Jiangzhou. When there is sunshine during the day, the sun shines warmly on the body, but it is extremely cold at night.

He took out a cigarette and a lighter from his coat pocket, lit a cigarette, blew out a blue-white smoke ring, and looked at the floor Guan Ningning mentioned. The next second, the house lit up.

Soon Xu Jing'an saw the figure standing on the balcony.

Guan Ningning was standing downstairs, and she also saw the man standing under the streetlight downstairs, his shadow stretched extraordinarily long by the light, like a pine and cypress in the cold winter, with an upright posture and a sense of loneliness.

She swayed on the balcony and turned around to leave.

The lights in the bedroom next to her came on immediately. Guan Ningning went to wash up, take a bath, dry her hair, and put on pajamas. It was almost an hour after she finished doing this.

Walking to the balcony, I carefully looked down and saw that the figure downstairs had left.

Guan Ningning breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little disappointed.

She curled her lips in self-mockery, laughing at herself for being so hypocritical and contradictory. She had become unlike her.

Before Xu Jing'an, she had a boyfriend, and was betrayed when she was about to talk about marriage. She was sad at that time, but soon let it go. This time she has not completely come out of it yet. She still needs to more time.

Fortunately, time is the medicine that heals everything.
