you are my sweetie

Hold my hand and tell me not to..."

Tian Yisheng was so ashamed that he pinched her shoulder and said angrily, "I told you to stop talking!"

Lu Manzi hugged her and laughed softly.

Tian Yisheng was angry, and also laughed out loud, pressing his chin on her shoulder, thinking about it: "Actually, you are like this, it's not considered frigid, otherwise you wouldn't want to touch me...you just..."

Tian Yisheng paused, looking for euphemistic and suitable words.

Lu Manzi caressed her back, and answered the second half of the sentence himself: "It's just that when you touch me, I don't feel it anymore."

He obviously knew it just now, and he should be ready, but after hearing this sentence and understanding the meaning of these words, Tian Yisheng's heart still twitched violently, feeling uncomfortably bored.

That night, the two of them still didn't do it.

He didn't even turn on the night light, and fell asleep like that. When he was half asleep and half awake, Tian Yisheng vaguely heard Lu Manzi talking on the phone, without saying a few words, he hung up quickly, and hugged Tian Yisheng again.

Tian Yisheng didn't think too much, curled up in her arms, and fell asleep again.

The next morning, Lu Manzi woke up.

Tian Yisheng was woken up by the sound of her washing, and when she got out of bed, Lu Manzi had already changed her clothes, leaned over and kissed her on the face, and said, "I'm going home, we'll have lunch together later, and you sleep later."

Tian Yisheng was a little confused, but he still remembered breakfast, and told her to get back to work, she had to eat breakfast.

Lu Manzi hummed, and said, "I ordered breakfast for you, and it will be delivered later, so you should remember to eat."

Tian Yisheng nodded and sent her to the door.

But unexpectedly, when the door opened, there was unexpectedly someone standing outside.

It was also Lu Manzi's mother, Zhuang Qingwan.

Her face is six to seven points similar to Lu Manzi's, but more beautiful and eye-catching than Lu Manzi's. She is well maintained and does not look old. She looks like she is only in her 30s.

She is tall and slender, wearing a waist-tight black dress, with dazzling diamond earrings hanging on her earlobe, her chin is slightly lifted, and she is wrapped in a kind of superior arrogance and alienation that is difficult to get along with.

When Tian Yisheng saw her, he instinctively shuddered and froze.

Zhuang Qingwan glanced at her, expressionless, and only said to Lu Manzi: "I've made a reservation at the tea restaurant, follow me to have breakfast."

Lu Manzi frowned, but before she could speak, Zhuang Qingwan said again: "Call that woman together."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away on high heels.

After she walked away, Tian Yisheng breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his eyes to look at Lu Manzi.

Lu Manzi raised her hand to straighten the messy hair on her cheeks, and asked softly, "Can you go?"

It's not asking her if she wants to go, but if she can go.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Tian Yisheng said, "Your mother was against us being together..."

"She won't do it now." Lu Manzi said softly, "I told you before, she doesn't object now."

Tian Yisheng was puzzled: "Why... didn't she object?"

Lu Manzi gave a very concise answer: "Think about it."

Tian Yisheng was speechless.

But after all, she was Lu Manzi's mother, and if she wanted to be with Lu Manzi, she would have to pass that test sooner or later. Zhuang Qingwan also asked her to have dinner with her today, so she had to give face.

Tian Yisheng washed up quickly, changed his clothes, and went downstairs with Lu Manzi.

Zhuang Qingwan was waiting in the tea restaurant.

It is an antique and elegant box, with the scent of tea and a great atmosphere.

Zhuang Qingwan sat in the middle, her back was straight, and she could unconsciously exude an aura that was different from ordinary people.

When Tian Yisheng and Lu Manzi were seated, she said directly, "Are you divorced?"

It was Tian Yisheng who asked.

Tian Yisheng tensed his back, not sure what Zhuang Qingwan meant.

Back then, she was the one who forced her to get married... Now, what does it mean to ask her straight to the point if she is divorced?

Let's see if she is obedient and abides by the promise not to pester Lu Manzi?

Tian Yisheng's nerves were tense, his thoughts were spinning, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.

Lu Manzi lightly covered the back of her hand, gave her a soothing look in his eyes, and replied instead: "She left."

Zhuang Qingwan nodded, picked up the celadon cup, took a sip of tea, and asked, "When will you come out?"

It was Lu Manzi who replied, "When you are ready."

Zhuang Qingwan smiled, but her aura became sharper: "I'm asking you, Tian Yisheng. I haven't seen you for five years. You can't even speak?"

☆, answer

Tian Yisheng tightened his fingers, and blurted out: "It's the same as Aman's answer just now, when I'm ready, I'll come out."

Zhuang Qingwan was aggressive: "When will you be ready? Tell me the exact time."

Tian Yisheng said: "When the time is right..."

Zhuang Qingwan laughed mockingly: "If you don't have a fixed time, it means you're not ready to come out. Tian Yisheng, you don't..."

"Mom!" Lu Manzi frowned, "I brought her to have dinner with you, not for you to bully her."

Zhuang Qingwan laughed all of a sudden, nodded and said, "Yes, you want me to show in front of her that I have accepted the attitude of your relationship, but..."

As soon as she changed her voice, her eyes swept over Tian Yisheng, and finally stopped on Lu Manzi, "I asked her this for your own good? If she keeps coming out, won't you be wronged all the time?"

Lu Manzi frowned and said, "This is between me and her, you don't have to worry about it."

Zhuang Qingwan leaned back on the back of the chair, lowered her eyes and smiled: "Yes, I shouldn't care so much."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhuang Qingwan sat up straight again, and handed the menu to Tian Yisheng, her attitude softened suddenly: "Come, let's order, Yisheng."

Her attitude changed a bit quickly, Tian Yisheng was slightly confused, and subconsciously said thank you when he took the menu.

Zhuang Qingwan laughed again, the meaning was unknown.

In view of the serious psychological shadow that Zhuang Qingwan gave Tian Yisheng five years ago, she is now like a bird of fright, and Zhuang Qingwan's every move can make her tense up.

Lu Manzi held her hand tightly, staring sideways at Zhuang Qingwan: "Mom, can you stop doing this?"

Zhuang Qingwan sighed and explained: "I just think of the past, when I first met her. It's been five years, and nothing has changed."

She always looks like an ordinary person who is easy to bully. I really don't know why my daughter has taken a fancy to her. She can't even keep up with one-tenth of Peisha.

Lu Manzi answered, "You don't know her well, how do you know if she has changed?"

Zhuang Qingwan nodded, and said without emotion: "Yes, you are right, let's order and eat."

Tian Yisheng bit the bullet and opened the menu, but Lu Manzi suddenly reached out, pressed the menu, and asked Tian Yisheng in a low voice: "Do you still want to eat?"

It means that if they don't want to eat, they will leave immediately.

Tian Yisheng took her hand and shook his head lightly: "You didn't have breakfast anyway, so just eat together, it's okay."

And no matter how Zhuang Qingwan treated her before, she was still Lu Manzi's mother after all.

Lu Manzi brought her here today, probably to formally meet her parents, so she asked her if she could go when she was in the hotel just now.

Tian Yisheng had to eat this meal no matter what, so he treated Zhuang Qingwan as a bad mother-in-law who was difficult to get along with and needed to be cautious.

The food was still ordered.

The waiter came in, took the order, closed the door and went out.

The atmosphere fell into silence again, and it was not until the waiter brought in the breakfast that there was a voice of talking. It was Lu Manzi who occasionally asked her if the food was to her liking.

Zhuang Qingwan looked at the two of them again and again, and finally put down her chopsticks and looked away.

Tian Yisheng paid special attention to her, turned his head to look at her immediately, and asked softly: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Zhuang Qingwan took a sip of tea, with a shallow smile: "I can't eat anymore, you and Xiaoman can continue to eat."

After she did this, Tian Yisheng, who had no appetite at all, even lost his appetite, but he couldn't take the initiative to say goodbye, so he could only continue to hold on.

After staying up for half a minute, Lu Manzi's phone rang suddenly.

She glanced at it and hung up.

But maybe there was something urgent there, and then the phone rang again.

Zhuang Qingwan said, "Go ahead, I'm afraid it's business."

Lu Manzi pressed down the phone, pressed mute, and asked Tian Yisheng, "Is your meal ready? I'll take you back to the hotel."

Tian Yisheng nodded, and said to Zhuang Qingwan, "Auntie, let's go first."

Zhuang Qingwan didn't look at them, but nodded slightly.

Lu Manzi took Tian Yisheng by the hand, and then retreated out of the box.

Her cell phone was still ringing, and she answered it as she walked.

Sure enough, it was business. It sounded like there was a problem with the source of goods. Lu Manzi suppressed his voice, talked for a few words, sent Tian Yisheng out of the restaurant, temporarily hung up the phone, and said to her: "Take a taxi and go back to the hotel. I will pick you up at noon. ,have a meal together."

As she spoke, she gently stroked Fu Tian Yisheng's side face again: "Sorry, I didn't expect my mother's attitude to be so bad."

Tian Yisheng shook his head hastily: "No, it's much better than before."

Before, Zhuang Qingwan didn't look her in the eye, but now at least he talks to her in a friendly voice.

Lu Manzi hummed and sent Tian Yisheng into the taxi.

She stood by the side of the road and continued talking on the phone.

Tian Yisheng was lying outside the window, looking back at her, just in time to see Zhuang Qingwan coming out of the restaurant.

When she walked to Lu Manzi's side, she reached out to straighten her clothes.

Tian Yisheng didn't look away until he could no longer see anyone.

She went back to the hotel, sent a message to Sister Liu, asking her if she had anything to do today, and Sister Liu asked her to listen to Mr. Fu's arrangement.

That means it's all right.

For Lu Manzi's sake, Fu Cheng couldn't possibly give her anything to do this weekend, so she is now on a paid vacation in the name of a business trip.

Tian Yisheng lay on the bed, looked at his phone boredly for a while, and then remembered the meal with Zhuang Qingwan today.

Zhuang Qingwan obviously still didn't like her, but she didn't know what Lu Manzi told her to make her put up with her dislike and face her kindly.

During the five years abroad, what did Lu Manzi do...to make herself, and the people around her, change so much.

Compared with Lu Manzi, Tian Yisheng is indeed the one who has made the least progress. After five years of messing around, he still looks like he has achieved nothing.

The low self-esteem that had been suppressed in my heart surged up again.

Tian Yisheng buried his face in the quilt silently, feeling uncontrollably... a little irritable.

At noon, Tian Yisheng came to pick him up from Sanyan, and Lu Manzi couldn't leave because he was busy with his work.

On the way, Sanyan told Tian Yisheng that the people who had dinner together at noon today, as well as Mo Yuchen and Fu Cheng, the farce last night was not a party, and today it was just a few of them, let's have a good chat.

Five people ate Haidilao, Lu Manzi was half an hour late, and within half an hour of sitting down, he was called away by a phone call, so anxious that he didn't say a few words to Tian Yisheng.

Sanyan explained to Lu Manzi that it was because the affairs of the family and the company were piled up together, and Lu Manzi really had no choice but to be so busy.

Tian Yisheng quickly said: "It's okay..."

Mo Yuchen answered from the side: "Is it because of her mother's stubbornness? She didn't suffer enough before, and she is still stubborn when she gets old. She refuses to let go. Lu Manzi's current appearance is all her mother's personal inheritance."

Fu Chengdao: "If I were an aunt, I wouldn't let it go. After all, if my uncle remarries, I don't know how much of the Lu family's property will be distributed. Besides, there are so many illegitimate children watching outside. In the end, half of it will fall on Manzi's head." Is it?"

Mo Yuchen said contemptuously: "You idiot only has money in his mind. Auntie's refusal to let go is not because of money, it's because of love, because of unwillingness..."

Fu Cheng sneered: "I don't believe it's all because of love..."

The two suddenly quarreled because of this, from love and money to those trivial things in the past, and even turned to each other's dark history and scolded each other.

Although Fu Cheng acted like a human being in front of his face and acted like a dog behind his back, his mind was calm after all. Tian Yisheng was quite surprised to be able to quarrel with Mo Yuchen so childishly now.

Sanyan seemed to have a headache from the quarrel, and said to Tian Yisheng: "Let them argue by themselves, let's go first."

Tian Yisheng originally wanted to say something else, but the two of them were arguing so heatedly that she couldn't get in the conversation, and finally closed the door silently and left.

As soon as he left the restaurant, San Yan lit a cigarette, took a puff and asked Tian Yisheng: "Can you tell that Fu Cheng and Yu Mei were lovers before?"

Tian Yisheng was stunned in a daze.

Sanyan led Tian Yisheng to the parking lot, and said, "I heard that the two of them once resisted coming out at home because of each other."

Tian Yisheng was stunned: "Then what are they doing now..."

Sanyan smiled and shook his head: "Emotions are complicated, and people's hearts are hard to guess. Why they broke up, why they broke up in such a tacit understanding, the reason is only known to them."

She walked to the car, opened the door for Tian Yisheng, and when she entered, she continued: "In this world, there are too few people who can keep their original intentions and go all the way to the end."

Tian Yisheng said: "Well, people like Aman are a rare minority."

Sanyan clenched his lips: "It's good that you understand."

The car starts and drives out.

Outside the window was the retrograde street scene and pedestrians. Tian Yisheng narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, then said: "Today I met Aman's mother... Actually, I have seen her before. At that time, she hated me very much and opposed it. I'm with Aman. But now... I don't know what Aman said to her, but she suddenly...doesn't object to us."

San Yan smiled gently: "You're playing tricks on me."

Guessing right, Tian Yisheng's face was a little hot, but he admitted it directly.

During Lu Manzi's five years abroad, Sanyan was by her side, they had a good relationship, and Sanyan knew everything about Lu Manzi.

"What's your daughter's name?" Sanyan didn't answer Tian Yisheng directly, but asked her a question instead.

Tian Yisheng was at a loss: "What's wrong?"

Her daughter's name is Lin Siman, and Tian Yisheng's careful thoughts about Lu Manzi are hidden in this name, so she suddenly asked her to say it herself, and she was very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Sanyan didn't ask for his name.

"Have you ever thought about the day your daughter gets married? With someone... You think, someone who will never give your daughter happiness."

Tian Yisheng immediately understood what Sanyan meant.

The simple and clear explanation is...the tender cabbage on the tip of the tongue was arched by the pig.

She, Tian Yisheng, is that pig.

Sanyan continued: "Manzi came out of the closet out of love for you, and my aunt objected because she loved Manzi. Although that was not a benign love, she has compromised and subdued now because she loves Manzi. It took my son five years to convince my aunt to accept you, and my aunt is willing to be persuaded, let go of her pride and accept it in a compromise. This is the answer I can tell you."
