Shadow for the Emperor

Next to the spacious living room is a well-equipped kitchen, where a curvaceous figure is busy.

"Decided?"

"Yeah." Miao Manman put the cut fruit into the fruit plate, added the milky white salad, twisted the toothpicks with the fingers painted with scarlet nail polish, inserted them one by one, and then put the beautifully decorated The dessert was served in front of Wen Sheng.

If her suitors see this series of actions, their jaws will drop in shock—they have always been the only ones to serve Miao Manman, not Miao Manman to serve them.

Obviously, Miao Manman also thought of this, and suddenly pursed her lips and laughed.

I was used to being served in the palace before.

But cutting fruit for a loved one doesn't seem to be a condescending thing.

It was only in front of him that she was a woman who would be shy, anxious, and tempted, not a female star wearing a perfect mask, bright clothes, and sought after by tens of millions of people.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm glad I knew you before. Otherwise, if you breach the contract this time, you might not let him go easily. Now, I can save a lot of liquidated damages."

"Come back when you get over it."

"That's hard to say. They don't treat me as well as you do. If I pay them a huge liquidated damages, all my years of hard work will be in vain."

"I'll help you pay."

"No need." Miao Manman shook her head, handed him a piece of fruit, and motioned for him to try her handicrafts, "I'm already very grateful for your willingness to let me go. If Yang Long'an hadn't been kind to me before, I wouldn't have I chose to leave you to go to heaven. Actually, this is very embarrassing for you, right? After all, this is not conducive to your cannibalization plan."

"I owe you."

"You don't owe me." She really wanted to kiss him and put her arms around him to say this, but she still restrained her impulse, and just repeated, "You don't owe me."

Wen Sheng took the fruit in her hand, neither rebutting nor approving.

"I want to ask you a question."

"Just ask."

"If you just came to this world and knew of my existence before you met Xiao Zhe, would you still be with him?" Miao Manman asked, feeling funny.

When did she get down to asking such little girls questions anxiously.

"will not."

"Then if you met him, but I showed up earlier, would you still like him?" Miao Manman paused for a moment, really couldn't stand her cautiousness, and was also afraid that he would be impatient, so she simply asked, "Or... ...In other words, is there any possibility that you like me?"

"Assumptions cannot be true."

"Just give me an answer, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad."

"You are my only family."

"I understand." Miao Manman was not surprised to have this answer, or this answer was what she expected, and other answers were just miracles she was looking forward to, "No matter what, this world is very good to women, at least It’s much better than ours. Women can live well without men. If you gain something, you lose it, don’t you think so?”

Wen Sheng didn't answer.

"I should go." Miao Manman stood up and handed him the phone by the way, "I saw it on the table over there. He called, but I am reluctant to tell you."

Wen Sheng took his mobile phone, and there were two caller IDs on it, which said Xiao Zhe.

"I'm afraid there is something urgent, I hope I didn't delay." Miao Manman picked up the bag, smiled, and left.

He was alone in the room.

Wen Sheng held the phone and walked to the balcony.

The balcony was actually quite deserted, just a concrete wall covered with tiles, then the floor, and then the brightly lit city in front of it, but because of the presence of a small plant inside, the black and white photo suddenly became a color photo.

It was a pot of cactus with a small yellow flower blooming on it, the only plant in this pot on the whole balcony, and it was also the reason why he asked Xiao Zhe to take the key of his house.

Unexpectedly, he really took good care of it.

The phone rang for a long time, and finally got through.

"What's the matter?" It was still such a simple sentence, but it contained a little tenderness that was hard to detect.

"I'm downstairs at your house."

"Come up."

"I saw Sister Manman, she wrapped herself so tightly that I couldn't recognize her without saying hello, but she felt a little out of shape."

"She's in a bad mood."

"I'm not in a good mood either."

"I heard it." He was much better at hiding his emotions than Miao Manman. Wen Sheng walked to the door, opened the door that had not been closed for a while, and said again, "Come up."

The other party was silent for a moment, ignoring his request for the first time, "How many things are you hiding from me?"

"kindness?"

"Are you the big boss of Hongtu?"

"I don't want to discuss it with you over the phone."

"It's always been you who don't want to, why don't you ask me if I want to?"

"do you want?"

"I don't want to." The voice was very clear, and the indifference was so awkward that people could tell it was trying to restrain their anger.

The number on the elevator jumped to the floor where Wen Sheng was, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Zhe was already standing at the door.

"Did you expect me to come up?" Looking at the wide open door, Xiao Zhe's anger rose to another level. Did he feel that his mind was easy to guess, so he was determined?

"Who told you that."

Double voices rang in my ear, one from the opposite side and the other from the mobile phone, Xiao Zhe hung up the phone impatiently, "Yang Jun."

"What does he want from you?"

"The point is not what he wants me to do. The point is why I am the last to know every time?" Recalling the sympathy in Yang Jun's eyes when he sneered at that time, Xiao Zhe felt like a fool all the time, "You he Mom is my man, why don't I know anything else besides this?"

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Xiao Zhe was about to go mad with rage, "Don't you think it's unnecessary to tell me? Then tell me, what is necessary to tell me? What is worth sharing Things? You want to sleep with me? Oh, by the way, it seems that sometimes you don’t even say anything, just do it directly.”

"The time is not yet ripe."

"Then what is maturity? The whole world knows that I am the only one left. Is that called maturity? Or..." Xiao Zhe stopped to catch his breath, and then he had the strength to ask the following words, "Or are you afraid? My big mouth, leaking this matter, ruined your plan? It seems that I do have a bad record, just because I didn't pay more attention, so my former agent took advantage of the loopholes and revealed all about Yang Longan's illness Come out. Are you afraid of becoming the second Yang Longan?"

"It's not your fault."

"Then tell me, why are you hiding it from me? What else are you hiding from me?"

"You come in first."

"You still don't want to say it, do you?" Xiao Zhe clenched his hands into fists, "Procrastinating? How do you want to perfuse me? Or do you plan to drag me directly into the house and play some kind of game of quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed?" He raised his hand Hand gestures of surrender, "I can't play with you, well, your dominance, your brevity, and your secrets are not something I, a little actor, can afford, okay? I can't help you, I can't do what you want Right-hand man, I won't even let you trust me, that's fine, I'll leave, I won't drag you down."

"Xiao Zhe, calm down."

"I'm quite calm, really, but my heart is fragile, and I can't bear the feeling of being 'surprised' over and over again." Xiao Zhe clicked the elevator button behind him. Fortunately, the elevator was almost clicked up at the same time. The door opened.

He walked in, looked at the man who seemed to have not reacted to all these changes, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness, "Let's separate for a while, let's calm down. However, it seems that we also often separate, maybe this has no effect."

The elevator doors closed.

Wen Sheng stood at the door, still unable to understand why Xiao Zhe was so furious.

The phone's text message beeps.

He took it out to have a look, it was sent by Xiao Zhe——

Yang Jun's younger sister, Yang Yue, is going to marry one of the investors, so how to change the strategy towards his family is up to you.

Fortunately, he still remembered to send this text message.

Wen Sheng shook his head helplessly, walked back to the bedroom at home, opened the drawer, and there was a small jewelry box lying inside.Seeing it, he couldn't help touching his thumb. On the originally fair finger, there was a circle of whiter ring marks.

Since that day in Shanghai, when he gave the ring to Xiao Zhe, he never put it on again.

What he Wen Sheng said was always water that was thrown out.

Never take it back.

"Hi, I'm Wen Sheng."

On the other end of the dialed cell phone, Yang Jun's voice rang.
