You are too much!

After the wedding banquet, Manager Zhao and several bridesmaids dutifully sent off the guests at the door.

"Are you going back to China directly? The car has been arranged, and I will take you to the airport now. There is a special plane waiting there."

"Are you planning to stay for a few days? The major hotels under the group have already reserved rooms in advance. You can stay as long as you want."

After Wu Manni, one of the bridesmaids, accompanied Zhao Shanshan to send the guests away, Zhao Shanshan first breathed a sigh of relief, and then casually asked in an acquaintance's tone, "What do you plan to do? Should you stay a few days longer when you return home?"

Wu Manni replied, "I still have some things to deal with here."

Zhao Shanshan patted her on the shoulder and told her, "I don't need to say more, the hotel and everything are ready-made, and the time to return to China has been set, let me know in advance."

In the evening, after taking off her make-up and taking a shower, Wu Manni changed into a simple casual attire, and went to a small town near the hotel to find a sake bar.

The bar is not big and there are not many people. The overall decoration has the characteristics of a European town. It is warm and romantic. With the melodious and soothing background music, it gives people a pleasant enjoyment.

Wu Manni ordered a cocktail and sat down by the window.She rested her chin on one hand, and looked out of the window without blinking, her eyes were calm and far away.In this small world of her own, Wu Manni let her thoughts wander aimlessly.

For some reason, Wu Manni inexplicably recalled what Jiang Xunyao said when he gave her the bouquet by name.

She admitted that she had rubbed against his car a few times, and accidentally rubbed against a spare guest room in his house.

She admitted that when she encountered danger and pretended to be strong, his sudden appearance made her feel inexplicably at ease.

She admitted that she had a heartbeat...

However, the intersection between her and him is limited to this.

What's more, she knew very well that there was someone in his heart.

"Is anyone here? Can I sit here?"

Wu Manni's thoughts of trusting Ma Youren were forcibly called back by the familiar Chinese. She subconsciously replied "Please go ahead", and the words were all out of her mouth. She realized that she was not only familiar with the language, but also this person. A warm and deep voice like a cello.

Wu Manni raised her eyes and looked over, only to see Yan Li, who had a three-point smile on her face, tilted her head slightly at her as a greeting, and then sat down directly opposite her.

I want Cao Cao Cao Cao to arrive.

Wu Manni's cheeks felt a little hot, as if all the thoughts that were silently churning in her mind had been overlooked by the person concerned.

Yan Li spoke first, "Surprised to see me? I'm not surprised at all."

Wu Manni: "..."

This is really unacceptable.

After a big gasp, Yan Li added unhurriedly, "Because I've been waiting for you here."

The meaning in the etiquette words can be deep or shallow. If it is shallow, it is easy to say, but if it is deep, it may be sentimental. Therefore, Wu Manni was a little unresponsive for a while.

Seeing Wu Manni's uncomfortable expression, Yanli sighed and explained, "That's what you think."

Wu Manni's brain buzzed, and her breathing was tense. In her memory, she had never been so nervous before.

She heard herself asking tightly, "I, what do you mean?"

Yan Li withdrew his usual gentle smile, and suddenly became serious. He answered irrelevantly, "Su Jin and I have very similar personalities. Although it doesn't look like that on the surface, we are of the same kind in our hearts. People. In the past long years, she and I have supported each other to come to where we are today."

"In many things, we don't even need to open our mouths to know what the other person is thinking. Staying with someone who has a tacit understanding will make you feel relaxed. At the same time, it will inevitably make people feel a little sympathetic. , I believe she thinks so too."

Yan Li waited here just to explain his past with Su Jin to her, and Wu Manni was inexplicably excited and joyful.

Predicting what Yan Li might say next, Wu Manni couldn't help but become more nervous. She subconsciously clasped her hands together, and unconsciously exerted force with her ten fingers, leaving a light blue mark on the back of her fair hands.

Yan Li glanced at her clasped hands calmly, then looked directly into her eyes again, and continued, "You and Su Jin are indeed similar in some ways, especially when you don't have a deep relationship with her. , it is easy to confuse people.”

The little excitement and joy that had just ignited in Wu Manni's heart was instantly chilled by Yan Li's "very similar".She regards Su Jin as her idol in life, there is nothing wrong, if someone says that she is similar to Su Jin in some aspects, she will be secretly happy in her heart, because it means that her years of hard work have finally paid off, She succeeded in becoming what she wanted to be.However, once this person is the one who makes her heart flutter, all this will not be so good.

Wu Manni's self-esteem is still very strong, no matter how much she likes someone, she will not be humble enough to become a substitute for others.

Wu Manni stood up abruptly, and interrupted the speech ruthlessly, "Sorry, I have something else to do, excuse me."

She dropped the words, picked up her bag, turned around and left without looking back.

However, just as she stepped out, her wrist was tightly grasped.

Wu Manni took a deep breath secretly, and turned around slowly, pinching her palms to force herself to calm down, "Is there anything else you want to say, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Li sighed heavily, "So, I was rejected before I confessed my love?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Li made it clear directly. Wu Manni was stunned for a moment, and then firmly expressed her position, "Sorry, I'm not interested in being anyone's substitute."

"A substitute?" Hearing what she said, Yan Li suddenly chuckled, "You only learned the superficiality of her cold face, but not the essence of her cold heart."

Even though Wu Manni had the best temper and upbringing, she was so angry that she just wanted to turn around and leave.She was about to shake off Yan Li's hand, but Yan Li said again, "The reason why you attract me is because you are you, the unique you, not someone's substitute, let alone someone's shadow. If, you really I became the second her, I don't think I will fall in love with you, because no matter how realistic the counterfeit is, it will never be the real one."

Wu Manni didn't know what he wanted to express, so she simply asked, "Since she is the eternal white moonlight in your heart, why do you hold on to me?"

Yan Li seriously explained, "To me, Su Jin is my best friend and the most evenly matched ally. In the future, no matter who I am with, this will not change the fact. But, I am not that kind A fool who will hang himself on a tree, you can say that I am smart, you can also say that I am hardworking. At least, at the same time, there is no way to accommodate two people in my heart. Although, I know very well that I have let her go Yes, but you may not be clear about this matter. From the moment I realize that I like you to the moment I decide to confess my love to you, some things must be said first, otherwise, whether you are willing to give me this opportunity or not, It's not fair to you."

Wu Manni was a little confused by his convoluted logic, and after digesting it for a while, she realized that he was explaining his relationship with Su Jin seriously to her so that she would not misunderstand.

Thinking of this, two blushes appeared on Wu Manni's fair little face for no reason, she lowered her eyes uncomfortably, a little afraid to look directly at Yan Li's calm eyes, her slightly shy appearance was far from her usual cold image Far.

"You don't think it's fair to me," Wu Manni snorted softly, and then said arrogantly, "Just tell the truth, are you worried that I will reject you, so you are in a hurry to leave me?" Clear the relationship."

Yanli licked the corners of his mouth fondly, "I really can't hide anything from you." He pulled Wu Manni to sit down again, "To be honest, it's the first time for me to confess to someone, and I'm very nervous .”

The change of relationship made Wu Manni feel a little uncomfortable at first, but now seeing that Yan Li returned to the old boy with a hippie smile, she also relaxed, and even replied, "Yes, Mr. Yan has always been It was all confessed."

Yan Li gently scratched her palm twice, and said relentlessly, "So, this beautiful little fairy, is you willing to give me this chance?"

Wu Manni pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, "Look at your performance!"

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, an inexplicable sweet atmosphere quietly permeated the air.

When Wu Manni finally calmed down the ups and downs like riding a roller coaster, she gritted her teeth and hesitated for two seconds, and then couldn't help asking, "Why did you suddenly choose to confess your love to me at this time?"

Yan Li replied solemnly, "Su Jin and Xun Yao are the best bad friends who value sex and despise friends. Now that they are living their own lives, how can they take care of us. If I don't work hard, When I return to my country, where will I find so many ready-made excuses to meet you all day long?"

Wu Manni now understands that Yan Li and Su Jin are really the same kind of people at heart, no matter what other methods they use, they can always use fancy words to make people feel happy.

Seeing Wu Manni pursing the corners of her lips, just smiling and not speaking, Yan Li smiled and added, "However, your good sister Xun Yao has a little more conscience than her family, and knows how to take care of her own interests." Friend. What she said to you at the wedding was actually said to me, and I was right."

Wu Manni didn't think too much about it, but after hearing him mention it, after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that it made sense.She raised her wine glass, touched Yan Li lightly, and said with a coquettish smile, "The bride's bouquet is magical."

On the second day, Wu Manni woke up early in the morning, recalling the dreamlike experience last night, a blush crept up on her cheeks.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Yan Li was already waiting for her. After having breakfast together, Yan Li drove Wu Manni to another small town hundreds of miles away.

As the destination got closer, Wu Manni became more and more anxious.Perhaps it was because there was one more person beside her, at this time, she was able to concentrate on enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

More than three hours later, Wu Manni arrived at the agreed restaurant as scheduled.Wu Manni looked at the radiant middle-aged woman in front of her, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The thoughtful etiquette quickly sensed the change in her mood, and naturally reached out and gently took Wu Manni's hand hanging on one side.Wu Manni turned her head to look at him, gave him a stable look, then looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her again, and called out uncomfortably, "Mom."

Mama Wu hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, because of her relationship with Papa Wu, her daughter had a very close relationship with her, and when she suddenly learned that her daughter was coming to see her, Mama Wu had been worried since morning.At this moment, seeing Yan Li next to Wu Manni for the first time, all the sense of strangeness and distance was forgotten.

When Mama Wu was young, she worked in a foreign company, went abroad, and has been doing financial-related work all the time. Therefore, she immediately recognized Yan Li, a prominent figure in the financial pages in recent years.

Mother Wu couldn't hold back, "This is? Your boyfriend?"

Wu Manni nodded slightly.

Mother Wu suddenly grinned, and even the strong woman temperament on her body softened.

Yan politely nodded and said hello, "Hello, Auntie."

Mother Wu smiled even more happily, "Sit down, please."

While serving the dishes, Mama Wu carefully sized up the legendary young talent, her manners were nothing, she was calm and relaxed, but Wu Manni felt embarrassed first, and reminded Mama Wu several times with her eyes, Mama Wu slowly calmed down. Look away.

As a parent, with her own judgment in mind, Mama Wu was relieved.She withdrew her thoughts, looked at Wu Manni, and asked, "How is your father doing?"

Wu Manni didn't seem to be too emotional, so she just replied in a straightforward manner, "It's still the same, and I don't know what to do all day long. A few years ago, I had a major operation because I drank too much alcohol and hurt my body. , and was admitted to a nursing home. There are professional nurses in the nursing home to accompany her 24 hours a day, and she is much better now."

It was the first time Mama Wu heard what Wu Manni said.In the years when she and Wu's father just divorced, Wu Manni was still young, and she would go back two or three times a year to see her daughter.Later, she reorganized the family, and Wu Manni grew up slowly, and the only communication between her and her daughter was occasional phone calls and regular child support payments.

When she first heard about this, Mother Wu seemed a little anxious, "Why didn't you tell me about your father's surgery? A few years ago, you were a high school student, how could you afford the high surgery fee?"

It has been several years since Wu Manni mentioned this. She said calmly, "I made some money as a part-time graphic model."

In fact, those are only enough to maintain the normal life of her and her father, and the surgery fee was actually raised by her selling the family house.At that time, she just graduated from high school and sold her house to live in a student dormitory.And the money left after paying the operation fee is not only enough to pay for several years of nursing home expenses, but also enough for her to continue her education.

Mother Wu didn't think much about it, she turned around and asked about her work.

Wu Manni remained calm the whole time, as if she was telling someone else's story.However, Yan Li, the talkative president who has always had a great sense of humor, didn't say a word today, but just silently stayed by her side, picking up vegetables and pouring water for her...

It's just that maybe he didn't even realize that from the moment he held Wu Manni's hand, his palm has been slowly tightening, it feels like he wants to protect her firmly in the palm of his hand, holding her at the tip of his heart.
