When Sun Wenxi got home, it was almost midnight.

He thought that everyone in the mansion should rest, but he didn't expect that Sun Qiman was still sitting in the hall.

"Dad, haven't you rested so late?" Sun Wenxi unbuttoned his shirt and sat on the sofa.

The cook of the Sun family brought up a bowl of distiller's lees meatballs.

While Sun Wenxi was having supper, Sun Qiman raised his hand and turned off the radio with "Evening Fragrance" playing: "When are you going to send someone to Xia's house to propose marriage?"

Hearing this, Sun Wenxi almost choked on the distiller's grains ball: "Dad, why did you think of this?"

"Wen Xi, your love affair with Jing Sheng is published in the newspaper every day, and it's not too short a time. Dad still doesn't know your thoughts. If it was really written in the pen in the newspaper, you would have come forward to clarify it. How could it be like that? Now it's just letting gossip fly all over the sky."

"But Dad, we haven't reached the point where we can talk about marriage..." Not only that we haven't reached the point where we can talk about marriage, Sun Wenxi has just launched a chasing offensive, and the impatient old father wants to marry the two directly.

Sun Qiman glanced at his son: "This emotional thing can be cultivated slowly. Tell me about your daily life, you have to rely on dating to meet, what a lot of effort."

"Dad." Sun Wenxi put down the spoon, "Give me some more time."

Sun Qiman was very puzzled: "Wen Xi, you have always been a sharp-tempered person, why are you so hesitant this time... Are you concerned about the attitude of the Xia family? Dad heard that this Xia Gong is a bit old-fashioned, don't worry, he If you don't agree, I'll talk to him."

Chasing people is indeed an art.

Too fast will not work, it will easily scare people away, too slow will not work, and the meaning will not be home.

Need to be step by step, step by step.

----------

One morning, Abao compiled a list of the victims as usual and handed it to Xia Jingsheng.

The types of business each person seeks are different, some are seeking talismans, some are fortune-telling, and some are asking Xia Jingsheng to come to see Feng Shui.

Xia Jingsheng took a look and saw a familiar name - Fang Lihua.

Xia Jingsheng tapped on the paper: "Just her."

Fang Lihua was fully armed when she went out. She was wearing a loose-style cheongsam, a silk scarf around her neck, and a pair of exaggerated sunglasses on her face.

Almost half of his face was covered.

"Madam Xiang, please sit down." Xia Jingsheng sat in the private room of the teahouse and poured a cup of tea for Fang Lihua himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Fang Lihua took off her sunglasses, her swollen eyeballs showed the fact that she had cried.

"Did Mrs. Xiang encounter something difficult?" Xia Jingsheng carefully observed Fang Lihua's face, and saw that the blackness in her Yintang increased instead of diminishing.

"Mr. Xia, please help me." Fang Lihua's voice was trembling, "I want to... test words."

Xia Jingsheng handed her the pen, and Fang Lihua wrote the word "anger" on the paper.

"I don't know what Mrs. Xiang is asking for?"

"Ask about marriage."

Xia Jingsheng frowned: "The word 'angry' refers to marriage, I'm afraid it's not very good."

"Distracted, distracted, alienated from morality. I'm afraid that what Mrs. Xiang is worried about will also make you resentful and depressed."

Fang Lihua looked up at Xia Jingsheng suddenly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Just asking: "Is there a way to break this calamity?"

"Marriage and love come from the heart and cannot be hindered by external force. If external force must be used to obstruct it, it will only disturb the order of ethics and make people sad for no reason." Xia Jingsheng closed his pen.

Fang Lihua's expression was lonely, she lowered her eyes and said, "What Mr. said is reasonable."

Seeing that she was still full of worries, Xia Jingsheng persuaded: "Mrs. Xiang, it's better to stay at home and raise the baby without worrying about walking around."

Fang Lihua was taken aback when she heard the words, and smiled a little reluctantly: "How does this make it, I agreed to participate in the selection of 'Movie Beauty', and I absolutely cannot miss the appointment."

As she said that, she took out an invitation card from her handbag: "I also invite Mr. Xia to honor me."

It was an invitation to the "Movie Beauty" selection festival. Fang Lihua's haggard face showed a bit of joy: "This is the last time I will attend an event before giving birth. After that, I will follow my husband's instructions and take care of my baby with peace of mind. until the baby is born safely."

Seeing that she has made up her mind, Xia Jingsheng couldn't persuade her anymore.

In the next few days, the people in the city were discussing the selection of "Movie Beauty". The "Jiangcheng Daily" cooperated with the film company and published the competition status on the front page every day.

Relying on her high popularity, Fang Lihua made it all the way to the top five.

Xia Jingsheng looked at the group photo of the beauties in the newspaper, Fang Lihua's appearance was really outstanding, even with a big belly, I still feel pity for her appearance without makeup.

In addition to Fang Lihua, there is also a beauty named Dong Beibei who is also very popular.

As the saying goes, "There is Fang Lihua in the north, and Dong Beibei in the south", Dong Beibei's temperament is completely different from Fang Lihua's.

Both are beauties, Fang Lihua is so refreshingly beautiful, while Dong Beibei is so coquettishly beautiful.

Looking at Dong Beibei's face, Xia Jingsheng frowned slightly.

At this moment, the phone in the room rang, and Xia Jingsheng picked up the receiver, "Hello."

"Jing Sheng, it's me." Sun Wenxi's slightly smiling voice came through the receiver, "Are you free to have dinner together today? There is a new restaurant in Weiss Building, I want to invite you to go with me?"

When Xia Jingsheng heard the invitation, he felt feverish in his ears, and he couldn't tell whether it was Sun Wenxi's whim or something else.

He was so excited that he forgot to say yes.

It wasn't until Sun Wenxi called a few times on the other end of the phone that he responded, "Well, good."

The restaurant for the dinner appointment mainly serves Jiangcheng side dishes. The chef used to be the private chef in the family of a high-ranking official in Jiangcheng.

Sun Wenxi asked for a small box, from which he could see what was going on outside, but from the outside he couldn't see what was going on inside.

When Xia Jingsheng arrived, Sun Wenxi was making tea.Seeing Xia Jingsheng coming in, Sun Wenxi handed him a bowl of tea: "Come, let's have a cup of tea first to relieve fatigue."

Xia Jingsheng took the teacup and watched the person in front of him slowly brewing the tea soup, feeling a little dazed.

He has been in a trance recently, and Sun Wenxi called him in his room every now and then, most of what he said was not important, but just gossip, asking him how he was doing, chatting and joking with him.

Although Xia Jingsheng had never been in a relationship like modern people nowadays, he also felt that it was unusual.

I just feel that Sun Wenxi is much gentler than when I first met him. I don't feel this gentleness at first, but it makes people addicted to it after a long time.

Thinking of it suddenly, my heart trembled.

"Jing Sheng... what are you thinking?"

Xia Jingsheng raised his eyes and saw Sun Wenxi staring at him.

Seeing that Xia Jingsheng didn't speak, Sun Wenxi smiled and said, "Are you thinking of me?"

For a moment, Xia Jingsheng's face turned red, and he unconsciously looked away, not daring to meet Sun Wenxi's gaze.

"So, you really miss me."

These words were too ambiguous, Xia Jingsheng, who was holding a bowl of tea in both hands, sweated, his heart beat faster, and he felt dizzy.

For a while my heart was full of honey, and for a while I was worried that I would make a mistake, which made people see a joke for no reason.

Sun Wenxi saw that Xia Jingsheng's face was flushed red and there was a little sweat on his forehead, so he handed out a square handkerchief.

The scarf was naturally stained with the smell of the western fragrance, Xia Jingsheng only felt his face became hotter.

He wiped off his sweat and folded the handkerchief: "The handkerchief is dirty, I will wash it and return it to you."

"Where is it dirty?" Sun Wenxi pressed his hand.

"I wiped my sweat..." Xia Jingsheng lowered his head and said.

"The beauty's sweater smells thin and sweaty, how could it be dirty?" Sun Wenxi said softly.

Xia Jingsheng couldn't hear the joke in his words: "What... are you talking nonsense?" These words were originally condemning, but when Xia Jingsheng said them, they didn't have the slightest bit of power, on the contrary, they added a bit of tenderness.

"Oh? Have I ever said anything nonsense?"

Seeing Xia Jingsheng's complexion change from light to dark, Sun Wenxi also knew how to let it go as soon as he was good, and refilled his bowl of tea in a timely manner.

The slightly bitter tea soup neutralizes the sweetness and tension in my heart.

Not long after, the dishes they ordered came one after another. Sun Wenxi took a spoonful of shad, carefully picked out all the thorns on the top, and put it into Xia Jingsheng's bowl.

The shad was delicious, but what really made Xia Jingsheng's heart tremble was Sun Wenxi's meticulous behavior.

If it is said that he is usually considerate and considerate, this level seems to be too much; but if Sun Wenxi is interested in him, Xia Jingsheng just finds it inconceivable.

He has always felt that he is a terrifying person. Although he is in the world, he always deals with evil spirits. As time goes by, he doesn't look very energetic.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be Sun Wenxi's favorite person.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingsheng ate more slowly.

Sun Wenxi saw the clue, and said warmly: "What's the matter? The food is not to your liking?"

As he said that, he wanted to pick up food for him.

Xia Jingsheng quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said seriously, "Wen Xi, I have something to tell you."

As soon as the words were finished, the voice of a child selling newspapers came from downstairs: "Selling newspapers, the famous movie star Xiang Kun had an extramarital affair, and kissed 'A Flower in the Southland' passionately."

Xiao Tong's voice was very clear, like a tweeter, and for a while, his voice was all around his ears.

Xia Jingsheng thought of the expression on Lihua's hesitant expression the other day when he was testing his handwriting, and he suddenly understood.

No wonder Fang Lihua came all the way to ask about her marriage when she was pregnant. Presumably, she had discovered the clue and felt bitter, so she turned to the word test for help.

"It's unreasonable, this fellow Xiang Kun has become more and more disrespectful, and he did such a ridiculous thing." Sun Wenxi said angrily, and suddenly remembered the unfinished words, and quickly softened his tone, "Jing Sheng, you just wanted to tell me What?"

Xia Jingsheng looked at the chopstick Sun Wenxi had just picked up in the bowl, Xue Lihong, and shook his head lightly: "It's all right."

Sun Wenxi was thinking about the scandal about Xiang Kun at the moment, so he didn't ask any more questions when he saw it.

"Sister Lihua has only been pregnant for a long time, so he couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned around and fell in love with Dong Beibei." In a fit of anger, Sun Wenxi asked the restaurant owner to call the organizer of the "Movie Beauties" selection meeting and give Fang Lihua an extra thousand votes .

It was only then that Xia Jingsheng realized that, after a few days, Dong Beibei was not as good as Fang Lihua in the number of votes, and gradually had a tendency to catch up.

"It seems that Dong Beibei is making a follow-up effort." Xia Jingsheng said.

Sun Wenxi shook his head and said, "In terms of real popularity, Sister Lihua is definitely taller."

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Jingsheng was puzzled.

"The stars of this 'Movie Beauties' competition come from various film companies. Dong Beibei is currently the company's favorite person, so the number of votes is naturally high."

"You mean... Dong Beibei's votes were bought by the company?"

What Xia Jingsheng didn't expect was that there were so many twists and turns hidden behind the selection of "Movie Beauty".
