unruly

The person outside the door was Ji Anli who hadn't seen him for a long time.

The entrance guards of Yulin Court are strictly guarded, and it is difficult for strangers to enter and leave the community at will, especially after nine o'clock at night.It was so late, Mingshu thought it would be someone else, such as the old couple or Lao Cao who came to the door on business, or someone found the wrong floor/house number, and he never expected it to be this person.

The two parties haven't met in person for quite some time, and since Ji Anli just completed the engagement ceremony a while ago, there must be many busy and complicated matters to be resolved in the near future, so how can I get away with it? It stands to reason that it shouldn't be her.

However, it happened to be Ji Anli - he had been hiding for three or four months since the last time we met, and couldn't get through to Mingshu's phone call, so he came here in the middle of the night.

Ming Shu stood still, and after seeing the person coming, the expression on his face gradually became serious, maintaining the posture when he opened the door, and the hand holding the doorknob froze there, unable to let go.

Ji Anli was still wearing a daytime formal attire, which was neat and elegant, and his whole body was meticulously groomed, looking exquisite and luxurious.She had just left a dinner, and it took a lot of effort to get out. Her temperament was not very good, as if she was very tired, revealing a faintly imperceptible embarrassment.

Finally seeing Ming Shu, Ji Anli's complexion softened a little, no longer a slumped and powerless look, and he managed to regain his energy.She drank a lot of wine, she was in a state of drunk eyes and slightly drunk, she didn't seem to be particularly sober, she didn't know how to speak when she saw the person she was thinking of, she just opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, all words were stuck like a hard stone It stuck in my throat, I couldn't go down or up, I couldn't utter a word.

In the end, it is the one who is at fault, even though they have prepared their speeches long ago, even though there are thousands of words to say at this moment, there are some words that cannot be said.

It was Ming Shu who spoke first, and asked in a neutral tone, "What are you doing here?"

Ji Anli supported the wall with one hand, his dry lips moved, and he called out in a warm voice, "Ashu..."

The tone is gentle, and the words are a little haggard and depressed.

Ming Shu was indifferent, and asked again: "How did you come up here?"

The undisguised rejection was too obvious, Ji Anli paused, and explained softly: "I have the access control card here."

When Mingshu bought this house before, Ji Anli was too busy to go through the formalities, so he took away a card at that time.

Ming Shu had already forgotten about it, and only remembered it after such a reminder. No wonder the security downstairs didn't stop this outsider.She frowned slightly, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, thinking that she should go to the property tomorrow, so that next time she couldn't let insignificant people in casually.

"Can you go in and sit for a while?" Ji Anli asked, his eyeballs were bloodshot due to drunkenness, and his eyes were red.

Ming Shu remained unmoved, "If you have something to say, you can talk about it here."

"I don't do anything, I'll leave soon." Ji Anli insisted, a little begging, "Is that okay?"

Ming Shu didn't answer, and closed the door a little more at the same time.

Insist on this, will not give in.

Knowing that he really didn't want to, Ji Anli was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "Okay, just talk outside, that's fine too."

Ming Shu tightened his palms, actually he didn't really want to hear this, but he knew in his heart that if he drove people away this time, there might be a second or third time, and he was not sure where he would find himself.

Maybe it's the old couple's place, the studio's side, or some important occasion.The person in front of him can do it, and it has always been like this. It is estimated that he will not be able to deal with it so calmly in the future.

That's good, let's finish the talk this time, and it happens that Ning Zhi is still in the master bedroom, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding if something goes wrong when we meet alone next time.

Ming Shu was expressionless, turned sideways and looked in the direction of the closed door of the room not far away with his corner of the eye, and said calmly: "Tell me."

Not knowing that there was another person in the house, Ji Anli swayed nonchalantly, his expression was rather tangled, and he was still immersed in the painful struggle of the previous few days.She was stabbed by Mingshu's overly understated attitude. She felt more uncomfortable than in Xinjiang last time. It was like a heavy rock was pressing on her chest. She could hardly breathe anytime. Shu, I... I'm engaged..."

The tone of his speech has changed, full of guilt, very unashamed.

Ming Shu didn't say anything, and after a while, he said frankly, "I know."

As if he didn't care very much, he was used to this opening.As soon as the words came out, after thinking about it, Ming Shu added: "Congratulations."

Ji Anli lowered his head and did not look at anyone, "I'm sorry."

Mingshu replied: "It's just that each has its own choice."

"It's my fault, I didn't do a good job." Ji Anli said to himself, not daring to meet his eyes, "Sorry..."

Mingshu looked at her calmly, "It's not possible."

Ji Anli looked annoyed, "This time it was my fault. It was my problem from the beginning, and it shouldn't be like that. I should have called you to explain it to you before, but... I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well..."

Ming Shu remained silent, there was not much change on his face, even his eyes were calm, unable to stir up any ripples, as if he was completely indifferent to this sincere repentance.

After all, it is not the first time to face such a scene, more or less experienced it several times, before Ji Anli missed something, this is how to save her, first apologize sincerely, take the initiative to bow his head and give in, and then get down to business.

It is inevitable for two people to have conflicts when they are in a relationship. Small fights are commonplace. As long as it is not a matter of principle, basically one of them will give a step, and the other will take advantage of the trend. In the end, it will not be true. It's completely over, and no one will take it to heart.

Ji Anli was sure of this point. Whether it was when they were young, the two had a quarrel that couldn't end, or later on the unilateral reluctance to come out, she always solved it like this at that time, and it has been going on for so many years. As such, it has never changed.

It's a pity that feelings, there has always been something, there is nothing, it's good for a while, and it's a moment after separation. At the beginning, the heart was still there, and I was reluctant to let it go. Forgiveness came easily, almost effortlessly, and moved. Just move your lips.

Ming Shu had long since given up on this, and was too disappointed in this person, and he no longer felt too deeply when he heard these words, and he didn't even feel angry anymore.She stood quietly and replied slowly: "No need, there is nothing to be sorry for."

"I know you can't accept it all the time, but you still insist on going your own way..." Ji Anli said, "Too many things happened at that time. I only thought about my own difficulties, but I forgot about you and didn't listen to your words."

Mingshu: "...um."

Ji Anli said again: "I'm sorry."

Ming Shu had nothing to say, was a little tired, and didn't know how to deal with it.

Ji Anli said: "I shouldn't have broken up with you. At that time, I was confused, too impulsive, and irrational. I lost my mind for a while."

Ming Shu pursed her lips lightly, not liking the current situation very much.

It is true that Ji Anli said the word breakup first, but the situation at that time was not irreversible. At that time, she also had a gentle and tolerant side, thinking that it might be because Ji's mother's death brought too much trouble. The influence of Ji Anli was too severe, so I still understood Ji Anli's unstable mood, so I did not agree to separate.

Ming Shu has given Ji Anli a chance, more than once, to try to have a good talk with her, to correct her paranoia, and to frankly propose that even if Ji Anli leaves the Ji family, even if she has nothing in the future and has to start from scratch, Mingshu is willing to accompany her Together, we will not give up this relationship due to these secular pressures.

Even after the stalemate between the two reached an irreconcilable stage, Ming Shu also talked about it realistically. If Ji Anli was worried that the two of them would not make it to the end, and that they would be separated someday, then Ji Anli might lose a lot, such as money. Things, Mingshu promised her that no matter what, he would support her vigorously, either by continuing to support her career, or by making a written guarantee, whatever.

Ming Shu never forgets his roots, he always exchanged his heart for his heart. In the past, Ji Anli supported him, so it would not be a problem for him to help the other party later on, and he would definitely not mind at all.

But after all, these promises are still not worth Ji Anli's stubbornness, and they don't work at all.

Then, Ji Anli was distressed for a while, and gradually he really didn't want to break up. While holding on to the Ji family, he was holding on to this fragmented relationship and refused to let go.

If it was said that this person had some slack at the beginning and barely took into account Mingshu's dignity and feelings, then it would be really unclear what he did next.

Ming Shu couldn't agree with this concept, and couldn't see where the end was, so he changed his approach and became the one who agreed to break up.

Ming Shu looked at Ji Anli and knew why he came here. Hearing this, he was neither moved nor angry, but felt as if he had never known Ji Anli.

How did Ji Anli come up with these words?

Impulsive, confused, irrational...it wasn't like that then either.

On the contrary, Ji Anli was sober, calm and stable enough to make those decisions after careful consideration.

Ming Shu also realized this and would be disheartened by him, otherwise he would never give up lightly.She couldn't change Ji Anli's thoughts, she couldn't persuade her, she couldn't stop her, she was sure that Ji Anli would not turn back, so she could only leave in time.

"So, what do you want to say?" Ming Shu asked, already knowing this person thoroughly, and didn't believe a single word of what he just said.

Ji Anli raised his head and looked at her steadfastly, a little hard to tell the truth, after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind before saying: "Can you give me another chance, can we make up?"

Ming Shu immediately said: "No."

"Ashu..." Ji Anli shouted, "Just this one exception, the last time, it won't happen in the future, okay?"

Ming Shu let him stare, didn't feel any emotion, just said: "Ji Anli, we broke up a long time ago, and there is no possibility in the future."

Ji Anli was stubborn, "It's still possible to reconcile after breaking up. It was the same way before, wasn't it?"

"That's different," Mingshu replied, and calmly stated the facts to him, "I told you when we parted, and I asked you about it, I gave you a choice, and I said there would be no next chance."

Ji Anli choked, and still remembered this clearly, but refused to admit it, saying, "I didn't agree."

Mingshu said, "You don't need to agree."

"We hadn't reached an agreement at the time," Ji Anli was a little excited, as if drunk, "We didn't completely agree, remember?"

Ming Shu took half a step back, "The breakup was also your choice, and it's over."

"No," Ji Anli suddenly grabbed the arm she was beating, "It's not over..."

Ming Shu struggled, and abruptly withdrew his hand.

Ji Anli wanted to repeat the same trick, so he reached out again.

Ming Shu avoided it easily without even touching him, and said in a cold voice, "Ji Anli, you drank too much."

"No, I only had a few drinks tonight." Ji Anli defended, "I'm not drunk, I'm sober now and know what I'm doing."

Ming Shu resisted, and closed the door a little more, "Is there anything else, go back if you don't, it's late, don't keep blocking here."

Ji Anli reacted very quickly, he stumbled and hurried forward to hold the door, preventing it from closing.The smell of alcohol on her body is very heavy, her eyes are scattered, and she is no longer reserved and restrained than usual, but very reckless, and the various actions she is doing now do not conform to her usual style of acting , It's not like I only drank a few glasses, at least half a bottle.

Because the action of blocking the door was too fast, Ji Anli's mind was chaotic and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, Ji Anli almost fell, and his figure almost fell to the ground.

Ming Shu subconsciously wanted to help her, but she held back and didn't take any action, unwilling to get involved in more troublesome relationships.

There is still a cub who loves to eat in the house, and he hasn't returned after being out for a long time. Ning Zhi must have discovered the situation here, but he just resisted not showing up.

Ji Anli held the door open, staggering, his stomach churning.She barely stood still, covered her mouth with her hand in discomfort, suppressed the feeling of drunken retching, and then continued to explain, saying seriously: "Ah Shu, I have talked with Xu Huaian, and it has been resolved. Well these questions..."

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to grab someone again.

Ming Shu had expected it a long time ago, turned his body slightly, and avoided it again.

"We've made a deal, trust me." Ji Anli was unresponsive, and instead of noticing her displeasure, he was still talking, as if he had really found a perfect solution.

The man was a little bewildered, and stated to himself.

"I am just a business marriage with him, not what you think."

"There is no emotion, and there won't be any in the future, just mutual cooperation. Really."

"Marriage won't affect anything. In the future, it can still be the same as before. He lives his life and we live ours without interfering with each other. He...he also has someone he likes, who is similar to us, and his family disagrees, so he can't get married. There is no way, so I can only choose this way.”

"I made an agreement with him. We will help cover up the family members on both sides. On the surface, we are still together and will help each other deal with those things, but it is different in private. He and his girlfriend are good, and we are still us."

"Except for the superficial difference, everything else remains the same."

……

"This is what I have always planned. I wanted to discuss it with you, but I was afraid that you would still be angry, so I didn't have time to tell you. I was afraid that you would be angry... I thought I would find you after everything was settled, so I never dared Come here...sorry..."

"It wasn't him who went on a blind date before, but the last one was unwilling to do so. It took a lot of time to find someone else in the middle, and it was confirmed in September..."

"I wanted to tell you this before I got engaged, but you went abroad and you didn't answer the phone, so I can only find this way."

……

Ji Anli almost couldn't stand still, he couldn't slow down the drunkenness.She stared at Mingshu obsessively, and spoke earnestly, fearing that she might miss something, she carefully narrated and told Mingshu all the whole story.

Of course, some of these words are still cut off from the beginning to the end, and some things are still hidden from the truth.

It has been more than a month since the engagement during the National Day, and it has still been delayed for a while.

Ji Anli refused to say anything, but Ming Shu could guess what it was, and knew everything without questioning.

It's nothing more than having children and carrying on the family line.Since we are going to get married, it will definitely be unavoidable in the future, otherwise the marriage will be for nothing, and the Ji family will not let it go.

In the traditional Chinese big family, parents require their children to get married for two basic needs: face and children.

You will be forced to get married, and you will definitely be forced to have a baby in the future. It doesn't matter whether you have two children in three years or five years. Anyway, you will have a baby sooner or later, and it is very likely that you will have to conceive within the next two or three years.

Ji Anli is 28 years old. In the eyes of the feudal patriarchs, this is undoubtedly an older person. How can there be a gap of three to five years for the two of them to cultivate their relationship.

Then, it is not difficult to guess that it is more than a month since the business trip. It is probably because Ji Anli and Xu Huai'an are discussing how to have a child in the future, and how to hide it.

Let Xu Huaian's real girlfriend have a baby, let Ji Anli test tube, or find other methods that have no bottom line... Having a child is too easy for rich people, easier than buying a limited edition bag.

Hearing these so-called explanations, even Ming Shu's eyes turned cold and numb.

From the day when she clearly realized her sexual orientation, Ming Shu never thought about making such tricks. She felt that there was no need to make it so complicated. She believed that if two women want to be together, they just need to come out of the closet openly. Add the things of two to the third.

That's not fair, it's not fair to anyone.So cowardly, so boring.

Ming Shu is quite old-fashioned in thinking, a bit conservative, and can't accept those fancy lifestyles.For Ji Anli's "kindness and thoughtfulness", she didn't feel a little bit moved, but rather disgusted, she kept her face cold for a long time, and she still interrupted alienatedly: "It's okay, don't talk about it."

Ji Anli didn't stop, still talking.

"Now that these things have been resolved, they won't affect us in the future. It's no longer a problem. My family..."

"Ji Anli, that's enough!" Ming Shu clenched his hands into fists, pinching his palms with his nails, trying his best to control his temper.

Ji Anli still didn't understand, or rather, understood what it meant, but he was unwilling to admit the fact.

"Ashu..."

Ming Shu asked in a deep voice, "Have you finished?"

Ji Anli didn't answer.

"Let's go when you're done talking," Ming Shu said, "It's ok, it's over."

Probably because she didn't expect her to respond like this, completely different from what he expected, Ji Anli's face turned pale, and his expression was slightly embarrassed.

Thinking about the past years, Ming Shu tried his best to make his words not so harsh, saying: "Differences are different, Ji Anli, we are indeed not in the same way... I'm really tired, forget it, and don't bother." With such a low profile, we have to make compromises, we have different ideas, it was not possible before, it is not possible now, and there will be no room for reversal in the future."

Ji Anli shook his head, "No, there is no low profile, no compromising."

"It doesn't matter whether it's right or not, it's pretty much the same anyway." Mingshu continued, more bluntly, "I can't do what you do, I don't like that kind of hidden life, and I don't want to spend my whole life being low-key. Don't try to persuade me anymore, it's a waste of time to try again. And even if I agree, my mother and Uncle Xiao won't agree, really, it's not appropriate. "

Ji Anli didn't let go: "That's not what I meant. I didn't tell you to stay low. I just persisted for a few years. I will divorce Xu Huai'an in the future, and it won't always be like this."

Mingshu said: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

Ji Anli panicked and pushed against the door, "Ashu, listen to me..."

"Go back, there's nothing more to say." Mingshu replied, "If you don't leave, I'll call the security guard."

Xu was emotionally unstable, Ji Anli's eyes became more bloodshot, and he felt that he was really going to lose this time, no matter how hard he tried to catch him, it would be futile.She held onto Mingshu's wrist with great strength, and it hurt Mingshu, "Ashu..."

Mingshu struggled to move his arm, but refused to let it be pulled.

"Ji Anli, let go!"

Ji Anli didn't let go, and begged: "Can I go in and talk about it?"

"Let go." Ming Shu said, pushing her.

Ji Anli still refused to agree, being paranoid to the point of being hopeless.She drank too much, her brain was not functioning well, so she ignored it.

The two pushed and shoved for a while, each deadlocked.

In the living room, Mao Tuanzi Qiuben was hiding behind the sofa. This silly dog ​​was too shy of strangers, and hid when he smelled strangers, not daring to follow.It keenly noticed the movement over there, stood up vigilantly when it heard Ming Shu's high-pitched voice, and immediately turned sideways to look in the direction of the door, and then saw Ji Anli holding Ming Shu tightly.

Qiu grinned, and immediately became agitated. With a yell, she rushed over quickly and went straight to Mingshu's side.

The big dog is too obedient, it doesn't bite people, and it doesn't dare to attack people. When it rushes over there, it will only bark loudly, and then block the door with its body sideways, protecting Mingshu in front of it, preventing Ji Anli from approaching.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, it was a mess.

Ming Shu didn't know that Qiu would immediately rush out to protect him, and he was also worried that this roughly-looking guy would suddenly become ruthless, and it would be bad if he hurt someone.She hurriedly stopped Qiu Qiu, not letting the big fool go out, worried that something would go wrong and it would not end well.

But Qiuqiu didn't understand this, she bared her teeth and barked, how scary she came, wishing to scare Ji Anli away.

It also gestured to open its mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Ji Anli was indeed frightened, and his back straightened in an instant.

Mingshu blocked Qiuqiu with his hand, "Go back, don't come out."

Qiuqiu was disobedient and didn't dare to do anything serious, but he jumped on Ji Anli with all his strength.

The battle was still strange and fierce, as if he was about to bite off a bite of flesh.

Ji Anli's face turned even paler, and then he let go of Mingshu, and took two steps back.

Qiu rushed out, barking non-stop, and kicking Ji Anli's legs vigorously, trying to drive her away.

Ming Shu went up to block it, and shouted: "Qiu, sit down! Sit down!"

Ji Anli was still here, so Qiu naturally refused to sit down and listen to instructions.

Ming Shu was in a hurry, and couldn't care less, she said to Ji Anli angrily, "Aren't you going?! Go!"

Ji Anli gritted his teeth and carried it to the end.

Ming Shu couldn't hold back Qiu, so she could only push her hard, "Let's go!"

Ji Anli didn't stand firm, staggered and almost fell.She is too stubborn, so stubborn that it is annoying, and she still refuses to leave after she is like this.

Qiu was too protective, went up and bit her suit jacket, and pulled it hard.

Ming Shu couldn't stop it at all.

Ning Zhi only came out at this time, appeared indifferently, raised his hand to block Ming Shu who was going to help, and softly reprimanded: "Autumn!"

The chaotic scene suddenly fell silent and became quiet.

Qiu stopped the attack and stopped obediently.

Covering Ming Shu behind her, Ning Zhi took a leisurely look at Ji Anli, and then at Qiu.

"return--"

Qiuqiu obediently let go, left Ji Anli behind and ran back, and walked around to Ning Zhi's lap.

Ning Zhi patted Sha Gou's head, rubbed it comfortingly, and didn't bother to look at Ji Anli any more, as if that living person didn't exist.After a while, the man stood up straight, looked at Ji Anli who was astonished, and said lightly, "If you don't leave, I will call the police and sue you for harassment."
