Chapter 21

"Cousin!" After visiting the entire Lanto family's manor, Cheng Xia was in high spirits, and ran into the bedroom with a large bottle of champagne in his arms: "Would you like a drink?"

"Auntie forbids you to drink." Ye Fengwu lay on the rocking chair by the window, casually flipping through the book.

"That was before, and now I'm an adult!" Cheng Xia took two cups, "It was given to me by Mrs. Lanto, and it's said to be delicious."

"It seems that you are very popular here." Ye Fengwu smiled and took the glass from his hand, "The taste of sparkling wine really suits you very well."

Cheng Xia sat on the ground with a look of envy: "Just now I saw the chef preparing the dinner, it's like a scene from a movie."

"Maybe you can apply for resignation and become Ross's assistant." Ye Fengwu joked.

"By the way, I just received a call from Brother Liang Hao." Cheng Xia moved to his side, "The rest of the advertising scenes will be filmed in Switzerland and domestic snow mountains, so we have an extra five days of vacation."

"It sounds like a blessing in disguise." Ye Fengwu rubbed his head, "Go play by yourself tomorrow, just to relax completely."

"Aren't you going with me?" Cheng Xia asked.

"There are other arrangements." Ye Fengwu stood up, "You should not be interested in recalling college time and extreme sports."

Of course it wouldn't be of interest!Cheng Xia smiled like a spring breeze: "I wish you a happy nostalgia."

The bed was big and soft. After being trapped in the snow mountain for three days, the tense nerves were finally relaxed, and Ye Fengwu fell into a deep sleep almost instantly.

"I have an appointment with Mr. Lanto at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Philip handed him the prepared trade materials, "This is an excuse, please be sure to read it."

Augustine casually flipped through two pages: "There are also information on competitors, give them to me together."

"Aren't you really going to discuss business?" Philip's eyes widened.

"Why not?" Augustine asked back, "Old Mr. Lanto is a respectable elder, and I don't think it's perfunctory."

"But regarding this trade, we can take our time. Tomorrow will only be a preliminary discussion." Philip called from his mobile phone. "The most important thing now is that you need to call your sister-in-law."

Augustine took the phone.

"That's right." Philip massaged his shoulders, "Remember to express your concern first, and how crazy you were searching around when you lost contact in the snow mountain."

Augustine: "..."

"Of course, I'm just suggesting casually, and you don't have to accept it at all." Philip said seriously, "But expressing concerns is necessary, and you must trust me."

Augustine shook his head and dialed the phone casually.

The cell phone on the bedside table flickered on and off, and Ye Fengwu was lying under the quilt, sleeping soundly.

……

"No one answered?" Philip asked cautiously.

Augustine dropped the phone back on the table.

"Maybe I'm sick." Philip said, "After all, I've been sleepy in the snow mountain for three or four days, so I'm running a fever."

"Sick?" Augustine's mood became even worse.

In order to prevent the hotel from being demolished, Philip had no choice but to go through contacts and get Cheng Xia's phone number from someone else in China.

"Hello?" My cousin was sound asleep.

"Hello." Philip was fluent in Chinese and had a big smile on his face.

Augustine sat cross-legged on a wide chair, looking at his younger brother with incomparably cold eyes.

"Are you Mr. Augustine's younger brother?" After hearing the other party's self-introduction, Cheng Xia woke up instantly and almost stood up from the bed.

"That's right." Philip organized his words, "I heard that Mr. Ye Fengwu was trapped in the snow mountain, so we would like to ask if there is anything we need help with."

"No, no, no, no!" Cheng Xia quickly shook his head, "Someone has rescued us, cousin is fine, he should have rested, everyone is fine!"

"Do you live in the manor of the Lanto family?" Philip glanced at Augustine and saw that he didn't seem to have any objections, so he said fluently, "We are going to visit old Mr. Lanto tomorrow, I wonder if we can have dinner together ?”

"You mean Mr. Augustine is also in Stockholm and will come over tomorrow?" Cheng Xia was so excited that he almost fainted.

"Exactly," Philip answered. "We live in the city."

"Of course!" Cheng Xia jumped off the bed barefoot, "We will definitely wait for Mr. Augustine on time!"

The bedroom door was knocked open with a "bang", Cheng Xiafei threw himself on the big bed, shook his cousin desperately, and laughed wildly, the classic villain in TV dramas.

"God bless, I hope you are not bewitched." Ye Fengwu rubbed the center of her brows, feeling a little headache, "What happened?"

"Guess whose call I just received?" Cheng Xia blushed with excitement.

"Captain America is still Iron Man." Ye Fengwu covered her head with the quilt, "I'm not interested."

"No, you must listen!" Cheng Xia pulled off the quilt vigorously, "It's Augustine's younger brother! Augustine!"

"Philip?" Ye Fengwu frowned, "Why did he call you?"

"Let me be excited for a while first." Cheng Xia rolled over with his pillow in his arms.

Ye Fengwu shook her head, picked up her phone from the bedside table and took a look. There were five missed calls, all from Augustine.

"Cousin!" Cheng Xia hung on him, "Augustine invited us to have dinner tomorrow!"

"Congratulations." Ye Fengwu raised the corners of his mouth and lazily leaned back against the bed, "I wish you success in taking a group photo."

"The other party seems very excited." In the hotel, Philip was also reporting to Augustine. "Although I don't know the reason, it should be a good sign."

Augustine's eyes fell on the phone again.

"Sister-in-law has already rested and is not sick, so don't worry." Philip quickly explained, "It should be because the phone didn't ring."

Augustine nodded silently, stood up and went back to the ensuite bedroom.

Philip sat at the desk with a pen in his mouth, carefully considering what preparations he would make tomorrow.

Since Augustine is coming, of course Cheng Xia will not go out shopping again.The next day, I got up before dawn and ran around the manor full of energy.

"Your cousin is cute." Rose handed him a mug of hot cocoa.

"Thank you." Ye Fengwu was wearing loose home clothes, sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with a photo album spread out on her knees.

"Remember this time?" Ross sat beside him, pointing to a photo.

"Of course, no one will forget the graduation trip." Ye Fengwu smiled, "If there is a chance, I really want to experience it again."

"Anytime." Ross turned the page again, "If we don't have an important meeting today, we can eat herring, which will definitely bring you back to five years ago."

"Important meeting?" Ye Fengwu asked, "Is it related to business?"

"The famous Augustin, you should know him." Ross shrugged, "Who knows, he landed in Sweden without any warning, to talk about the next year's cooperation. Although my father is very happy, it sounds more like Augustine's evil."

"Cousin!" Cheng Xia rushed in, "What do you think of me wearing this?"

"Are you going to a wedding?" Ross looked hesitantly at his tuxedo.

Ye Fengwu leaned against the wall and laughed.

"It was the clothes that Lanto's grandmother lent me." Cheng Xia scratched her head, "She said that if I respect Mr. Augustine very much, I should dress more formally."

"Trust me, there's no need to be so serious." Ross patted him on the shoulder with sympathy in his eyes, "And frankly, you look a bit like a Czech marmot now."

Cheng Xia turned around listlessly, and went back to change clothes.

"He really likes Augustine." Night Breeze Dance explained with a smile.

"Do you want to attend the dinner together?" Ross asked, "I heard that he is very interested in the film industry recently. I can introduce you to each other, which may bring new job opportunities."

"No, thank you." Ye Fengwu took another photo album, "We knew each other from the beginning."

"You know each other?" Ross was surprised.

"When I was in Milan, it was purely an accident." Ye Fengwu lazily hugged the cushion, "The photography team will have a BBQ tonight, so I'm sorry, I'm probably going to miss the dinner, please take good care of my cousin. "

Rose readily agreed, "It's absolutely fine."

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the black car left the hotel on time and drove to Lanto Manor.Philip said while driving: "The trunk is full of roses. If you need them, we can take them out at any time."

Augustine sat in the back row, looking down at the documents in his hand.

"You really don't want another phone call?" Philip asked again. "It's past nap time."

Augustine remained silent.

"Maybe sister-in-law didn't see the notification on the phone at all, so she didn't call you back." Philip continued to chatter.

"You are noisy." Augustine raised his head coldly, "Shut up."

Philip was worried. What the hell kind of attitude is this? Shouldn't he be happier when he sees his lover soon.

Old Mr. Lanto attached great importance to this meeting, and even greeted him personally at the gate of the manor.

"I hope I didn't disturb you." Augustine was polite.

"My family and I are very honored." Old Mr. Lanto leaned on a cane. "I received a sudden call last night. I thought it was just a joke."

"I look forward to cooperating with you." Augustine smiled, "We should be able to discuss this business carefully."

The sky was getting dark, Cheng Xia was sitting in the living room, looking at the clock on the wall.

"The banquet won't start until eight o'clock, and there is still an hour before now." Ye Fengwu tapped his forehead, "You can go to sleep first."

"No!" Cheng Xia clenched his fists.

Night Breeze Dance was funny: "OK, then wait slowly, I'll go to rest first."

"It's only seven o'clock." Cheng Xia propped up her cheeks to remind, "And the BBQ has just started, everyone is waiting for you."

"I've already asked for leave." Ye Fengwu opened the refrigerator casually, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Really?" Cheng Xia dropped the cushion and stood up, reached out and touched his forehead, "You have a fever."

"Take some medicine and you'll be fine, don't worry." Ye Fengwu threw her coat on the sofa, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Don't you need me to take care of you?" Cheng Xia asked.

The corner of Ye Fengwu's mouth curled up: "So you won't go to see Augustine?"

"..." Cheng Xia stretched out an index finger, "Please, please, just give me half an hour."

"Just kidding, I don't need anyone to take care of me, I'm just exhausted in the snow mountain." Ye Fengwu smiled and shook her head, "Go, have fun."
