warm winter

The man walked very fast, with a tall and slender figure wrapped in a camel-colored overcoat, his long wavy curly hair was pulled up casually without pulling his hips in the slightest.Even just a hasty back view is enough to shock Yuan Yuan.

Jian Xin and Ziran also saw it, but she took her eyes back after the man disappeared from sight.Just as he was about to speak to Yuan Yuan beside him, he realized that she was still staring at her.

"Little Yuan, are you okay?"

Jian Xinhe guessed in his heart that if today was the day when Uncle Yuan's fiancée came to try on the dress, then this store should not accept other customers.The woman who left just now is very likely to be the rightful owner.

Yuan Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze, but his tone became hesitant.

"I think she should be the person I want to see."

Before Jian Xinhe could speak again, Yuan Yuan gave his answer first.

She also guessed it, didn't she, Jian Xinhe looked at the girl with a calm expression in front of him, and felt another pain in his heart.

Jian Xinhe thought about what else to say so that Yuan Yuan would not be sad, but when she was still thinking about the topic, Yuan Yuan took the initiative to speak.

"Let's go, it's rare that the weather is not bad today, let's go have a cup of coffee."

Drink coffee?Jian Xinhe found that she didn't understand Yuan Yuan more and more, and it was difficult for normal people to maintain a good mood in today's situation, let alone Yuan Yuan who was still a child.

She stared at the girl for a long time, and seeing that she did not show any sadness, she nodded and agreed to accompany her to the cafe.

Yuan Yuan took a sip of his favorite flatwhite and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction: "This one tastes better, I just like the taste."

Jian Xin echoed lovingly: "As long as you like it."

Yuan Yuan was thinking, why did the woman's back look familiar just now, where did she seem to have seen it?

But she thought and thought along the way, but still couldn't tell who it was.She also thought it was funny, if it was someone she knew, how could it be possible that she didn't find out for so long.This person who was well hidden by her father should never have appeared in her life at all.

Come to think of it, it was a stranger.

After Ye Qing took off her dress, she declined the companionship of her life assistant.She hasn't changed her domestic driver's license yet, but fortunately, Haicheng's public transportation is very complete, and it's very convenient to call a taxi with a mobile phone.She is used to being independent and free, and she doesn't like to be followed closely by her side. She left in a hurry just to get out of the previous role as soon as possible.

Wearing a gorgeous dress, she saw not only her own appearance in the mirror, but also so many pairs of envious eyes behind her.The corners of her mouth curled up, not because of complacency or happiness, but because of understanding.

Wearing this dress means that she is Yuan Honghao's fiancée.Such an identity, such a future, must be the dream of many women.

It's a pity that Ye Qing hasn't felt the slightest bit of affection for this fiancé in the past three years.She is not a person who makes fun of feelings. If she is really emotional, no matter how attractive the conditions are, she will not agree to act with Yuan Honghao.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable after putting on the dress, especially being stared at by so many pairs of eyes.After she was relieved, she couldn't wait to open the door and go out, eager to take a breath of fresh air so that she could continue her unsustainable breathing.

I don't know if it's an illusion or dazzled, the moment I stepped out of the gate, there seemed to be a familiar figure in my peripheral vision.Ye Qing left the shop very quickly, her steps were too hasty, so that by the time her brain reacted, she had already walked a certain distance.

The life assistant is probably still watching her attitude from behind, as long as she sees the rhythm of her hesitation, she will definitely run forward.Ye Qing couldn't stop, and she couldn't deliberately turn around to confirm it. After all, she realized that what she was thinking just now was the child who had only met once.

The curly-haired, fair-skinned, slender child, the child I saw in the restaurant of the European ski resort hotel.How could it be possible to suddenly appear on the streets of Haicheng like her?

As Ye Qing walked forward, he laughed that he probably lacked sleep so that his memory was disturbed.

As the cold wind blew, Ye Qing adjusted her thoughts, and the fragmentary images that flashed in her mind just disappeared one by one.

**

Yuan Honghao's return date was temporarily adjusted again. After receiving his apologetic phone call, Ye Qing didn't lose his temper at all. He still politely and distantly said that it's okay, let him handle the business first.

It seemed that the imminent engagement had nothing to do with either of them directly.

On the contrary, Yuan Yuan was a little curious when she heard that her father hadn't come back yet.

"Grandma, can Dad come back in time?"

After dinner, Yuan Yuan accompanied the old lady for a walk in the small garden. She had been thinking about this question for several days.

"Your father is sensible, so he will be able to come back." Mrs. Yuan is very confident about this, and she is not in a hurry.

Yuan Yuan already had an idea in his heart, but he didn't really reject the arrival of this day.Only by seeing each other as soon as possible can she implement the next plan.

Rather than constantly guessing, she was looking forward to seeing the other party's true face.

The media seemed to have been silenced ahead of time, and suddenly collectively stopped digging into President Yuan's fiancée's identity.Instead, he began to report on how luxurious and grand this engagement ceremony will be, how to show President Yuan's deep affection and the rarity of this relationship.

Since Yuan Yuan returned to Haicheng, he has become numb to such news.Jian Xinhe was quite worried at first, but after trying several times, she found that Yuan Yuan didn't seem to overreact, so she stopped bringing up this topic.

Everyone was quietly waiting for this day to come, and President Yuan, who was far away in Africa, finally came back the night before the engagement.It's dusty, but the spirit looks good.Everyone thought, probably because people are in good spirits on happy occasions.

He didn't go to Ye Qing, but had dinner with his mother and daughter at home.

Strangely, no one mentioned anything about the next day during the meeting, as if nothing important was going to happen.

Instead, Yuan Honghao was concerned about Yuan Yuan's studies. His daughter was about to enter high school in no time. The child grew up day by day, and finally it was time to leave home.

He has long planned that when Yuan Yuan graduates from junior high school, he will send her to the United States to study high school. It is up to her to decide whether to go to the United States or go to Europe.

"Xiaoyuan, have you thought about it? Should you go to the high school that Xinhe attended or the one I chose for you?"

Yuan Yuan couldn't help frowning, remembering the topic of dispute with his father on the phone not long ago.Bringing it up now still makes her very upset.

"Dad, I don't even want to go."

Yuan Yuan's face darkened, and Yuan Honghao's expression was not good.

"High school is a very important stage, and it will have a great impact on your future, so you can no longer be willful."

"I don't want to go to a school I don't like. How can I be willful? Since you asked for my opinion, you disagree with me when I tell you my true thoughts."

Yuan Honghao loves this daughter very much, but after all, he is busy with his career, so he has rarely had the opportunity to have a good conversation with her over the years.When she was a child, she could still calm her temper by kissing and hugging, but now the child is in adolescence, and he is also learning how to shape a new father-daughter relationship.

"That's because you haven't fully understood, so you have prejudice. When Xinhe was your age, she was already in the United States. Look at how outstanding she is now."

Yuan Yuan didn't say a word, Yuan Honghao took a breath and continued to persuade.

"Actually, I also prefer the high school you went to before Xinhe. Xinhe is familiar with both the courses and the teachers. After you go, she can take more care of you."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Yuan.

"Dad, Xinhe is my friend, not my nanny. And I have grown up and don't need other people's care."

Yuan Yuan didn't understand why her father and grandma always felt that she was still a child, and she was obviously not a child anymore.

What Yuan Honghao wanted to say was stopped by Mrs. Yuan.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this right now. There is still one semester, let Xiaoyuan think about it again."

Then, Mrs. Yuan finally brought the topic to the matter of engagement.

"Hong Hao, you have important things to do tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."

Yuan Honghao subconsciously glanced at Yuan Yuan, seeing his daughter lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, but seeing that she didn't seem to respond to the engagement, the boredom in his heart eased a bit.

In fact, he didn't know how to tell Yuan Yuan about the engagement, but he would have to face it sooner or later.He had originally prepared a set of rhetoric, and after hearing what his mother said about Yuan Yuan's performance after returning home, he changed it temporarily.

He thought, maybe Yuan Yuan also longed for a stepmother in his heart.Although it is not his own life, it can fill up the vacancy in life after all.

Although Ye Qing is young, Yuan Yuan might like such an attractive person after getting along for a long time.

He subconsciously thought that Ye Qing would get along well with his family.

On the day of the engagement, the ceremony was held at Yuan's mansion.Those who were lucky enough to be invited were all famous people, and the family friends of the Yuan family, the Jian family, naturally did not dare to neglect, and almost the whole family was dispatched.

After Jian Xinhe arrived at the Yuan family's mansion, he searched around but did not see Yuan Yuan's figure, so he obediently greeted the elders and went straight to the third floor.She used to come here often, so it is very familiar.

Sure enough, Yuan Yuan was still in his room.

"Why are you alone in the room, and all the guests outside have arrived?" Jian Xinhe knocked on the door, Yuan Yuan opened the door and turned to walk into the room.

"It's not time yet, why go out?" Yuan Yuan's voice was still lazy.

Jian Xinhe carefully distinguished, and it seemed that they couldn't hear too much sadness.Why is there some hidden expectation instead?Jian Xinhe thought to himself, probably because he was infected by the atmosphere downstairs just now, and he had an illusion.

"You are very beautiful today." Jian Xin looked at Yuan Yuan and couldn't help but praise him.

Yuan Yuan pinched the skirt of the little dress with some embarrassment, she was indeed well-dressed.

"Is it really good-looking? Don't coax me."

"Of course it's true, it's very beautiful." Jian Xinhe couldn't take her eyes off at all. Hearing Yuan Yuan's question, she nodded her head several times to express her affirmation.

When she realized her performance, she felt that it was a bit too obvious, so she shyly shifted her eyes and pursed her lips.

"That's good." Yuan Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jian Xinhe's praise.

She believed in Jian Xinhe very much and knew that she would not lie to her.

After a while, Aunt Liu came up and knocked on the door, telling them to go downstairs quickly, and the ceremony was about to begin.

Yuan Yuan took a deep breath, took Jian Xinhe's hand and left the room.

Finally going to meet that person, Yuan Yuan instinctively wanted to seek external support.

In the cold winter, the engagement ceremony was arranged indoors, in the special banquet hall of Yuan's mansion.

It was the first time that Ye Qing's face officially fell into Yuan Yuan's eyes, but she had actually seen it from the moment she approached the banquet hall.But with every step closer, I felt more shocked.

The young woman standing beside her father in the haute couture gown was undeniably beautiful.
