The heart of the pretender is sincere

The Ming's Jewelry conference was a great success, and orders from all walks of life came in one after another, and the reservations were all scheduled for the next year. There was a trend of young girls wearing crystal jewelry, because all crystal jewelry can be ordered separately for gemstones, so Not only the crystal series of Ming's Jewelry sold out of stock, but even the sales of the expensive jewelry series in the past few days have already surpassed the full-month performance of major jewelry stores.It was also because the sales were so hot, and some people even found Minglou and Ah Cheng through their relationship, just to join the team to buy jewelry. Ming's jewelry was very popular for a while.

Because of the popularity of Ming's Jewelry, it is inevitable that there will be many similar imitation products on the market, but Ming's Jewelry is superior in its trendy design and fast iteration speed; second, in terms of technological innovation, many businesses cannot do it. .The jewelry of the counterfeiters is either not crafted enough to loosen easily or is too heavy to be worn, or it pursues perfect craftsmanship. The design cost is too high and the price is far higher than that of Ming’s. Overall, the sales of Ming’s jewelry are overwhelming. Juechen leads the trend of the whole Shanghai and even the surrounding cities of Shanghai.

After the press conference, Lingxi felt much more relaxed. The design team she leads can already design all kinds of accessories very well. She only needs to manage the overall situation and review the manuscripts, and then regularly produce some design works.Therefore, Lingxi’s life should not be too comfortable recently. If she has a lot of time to stay at home and have nothing to do, she will take Axiang to cook and eat and drink together. In order to make a red wine stewed beef brisket, she insisted on bringing Minglou back from France. I used up a bottle of red wine that I had been reluctant to drink for a long time. Although everyone agreed that the dish was very well done, and Minglou himself ate two bowls with tears in his eyes, Lingxi was still banned to protect his last meal. A bottle of red wine is not used for cooking, it is too wasteful.

As for the love affair between Lingxi and Ah Cheng, I didn't specifically tell my family members. Lingxi felt that it was obvious when we got along with each other in daily life, so there was no need to talk about it, and Ah Cheng nodded after being asked by his elder brother. Confirmed that he thought that the eldest brother would tell the eldest sister, or that Lingxi would tell the eldest sister himself, so he didn't care too much, so that once Mingjing saw Ah Cheng and went directly to Lingxi's room without knocking on the door She didn't come out for a long time, and when she went in to have a look, she found that the two were hugging each other and kissing each other, which shocked her.Of course, falling in love is a good thing. Of course Ding Spiegel will not object to it or even be happy to see it come true. It just warned Ah Cheng not to mess around before getting married, otherwise he will turn around and serve the family lawfully!

Lingxi felt that maybe she was too happy and comfortable recently, so God couldn't stand it and wanted to find something for her, and the source of this matter came from Mr. Qin. After the press conference, according to Chen Xuanyu's statement, she should move At Zhou's private house, Lingxi was just paying attention to this matter silently. In her opinion, everyone has their own fate, and she couldn't help her so she didn't say anything more. It's just that Chen Xuanyu was a few days after the press conference So I called her and told her that the matter was resolved, she didn't need to move to Zhou's house and could continue to sing in the Shanghai Ballroom.Originally, Lingxi was happy for Chen Xuanyu, thinking that Qin San was really fighting against power for love, but within two days she received a call from Qin San, who told her very seriously, asking her to seriously consider becoming Qin San's wife The thing is, he doesn't mind if she has a boyfriend, as long as she agrees, he can hold the wedding right away.

Lingxi only thinks that the world is probably sick. Two days ago, she was still crying for their love between gods and gods who were brave enough to break through the shackles of feudalism without fear of worldly prejudices. Now the man jumped out and said he wanted to marry her?Still don't mind if she has a boyfriend? !I bah, thank you so much.Lingxi was very angry and vomited fragrance to Qin San for a long time, but the other party just listened and didn't intend to retaliate at all, but after Lingxi's fragrance was over, he asked her to seriously consider getting married. The phone hung up.

Lingxi didn't tell anyone about this matter, she decided to deal with it coldly, as long as she disagrees with marriage, Qin San can't do anything alone, and now she is going to the new government office to pick up her brother Ah Cheng. The new year is over, and the eldest sister has given a task to them to buy new year's goods together.

Because of the problem of elder brother's car, Lingxi didn't take the driver to drive to the new government office, and then they drove Lingxi's car back together.This time she came in very smoothly, presumably Ah Cheng specifically explained that this time no one stopped her and someone came to pick her up.

"Hi, Miss Li, my name is Liu, you can call me Secretary Liu, this is Secretary Ming's office, please sit here for a while, and Secretary Ming will take half an hour to come back, you can call me if I have something to do outside. "

"Okay, thank you Secretary Liu." Lingxi took the teacup handed by Secretary Liu and put it on the tea table, then sat on the small sofa and watched Secretary Liu go out. She did not start to look at the environment of the office until she was sure the door was closed. This office is not too big, and the furnishings are very simple. There is only a small sofa, an office desk and chairs, and a cabinet.

It was Lingxi's first visit to the new government office. Originally, Ah Cheng asked Secretary Liu to take her to the garden behind, but she refused after thinking about it. According to the law of time-traveling women, she will definitely hear some secrets when she wanders around. In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, she'd better stay in Ah Cheng's office, but in this era without mobile phones, it's really hard to wait for half an hour, so she simply took the paper from Ah Cheng's desk when she got bored of waiting Pen to write and draw to pass the time.

Ah Cheng knew that Lingxi had arrived and was waiting for him in the office. In order not to keep her waiting too long, he quickly finished the task at hand. When he returned to the office, he saw Lingxi sitting at his desk. Holding a pen in one hand and propping his chin in the other, frowning as if he was very distressed and didn't know where to start.

Hearing the voice, Lingxi looked up, and was a little surprised to see Ah Cheng at the door, "Brother Ah Cheng, you are back, have you finished your work?"

Ah Cheng nodded, "Well, it's done, what are you doing?"

"I'm drawing you." Lingxi looked annoyed. "But I'm not very good at drawing, maybe I'm not very good at drawing figures, but I'm better at drawing utensils and landscapes."

"Let me see." Ah Cheng curiously walked behind Ling Xi, the one drawn on the paper was indeed himself, the contours of eyebrows and eyes were all drawn, only one lip was missing, maybe he was not very good at drawing lip shapes, and he didn't know when he was holding a pen Where to start.

"My lip shape, the upper lip is a little thinner, and the position of the peak of the lip is like this..." Ah Cheng leaned forward, his left hand covered Lingxi's left hand that was pressing the straw paper, and his right hand held her hand holding the pen, and made a stroke He drew the shape of this lip with one stroke, and he leaned close to Lingxi's ear and kissed her ear, "I've kissed her before, but still can't remember the shape of my lips?"

"You hate it!" Lingxi smiled and turned around to hammer him, but both of her hands were in Ah Cheng's hands, and her whole body was trapped by him on the chair, unable to move at all. She found that since the two established a relationship After that, Ah Cheng became more and more courageous, and the scale of his speech became much larger.

And from Ah Cheng's point of view, his girlfriend pouted shyly at him, the red lips opening and closing close at hand were asking for a kiss from him, so he bowed his head and kissed him without hesitation, Lingxi was stunned for a moment and then He also readily accepted to take the initiative to respond to his kisses. Since the two dated, they are already familiar with such things as kissing, but Ah Cheng feels that Lingxi is still not very good at kissing, and he still needs to practice more in the future.

After the kiss was over, Ah Cheng rested his chin on Ling Xi's shoulder, feeling her breathing that had also increased significantly, "Now you know the shape of my lips, do you want to feel it again?"

Lingxi smiled and pushed Ah Cheng's hand away, "Hurry up, you, it's almost eleven o'clock and we'll have lunch."

Ah Cheng looked at his watch and it was really late, so he decided not to tease her anymore and just lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, "Then let's go say hello to Big Brother now and set off."

In fact, Lingxi doesn't have any plans for buying new year's goods. She only knows to buy some lanterns and couplets. In the past, she didn't need to worry about these things during the Chinese New Year. When I saw everything in the market, I felt that I could buy a little, and I felt that I didn’t need everything at home. Everyone in this crowded crowd had smiles on their faces, which made Lingxi feel a little dazed, as if she had returned to a place where there was no war. peaceful years.

On the other hand, Ah Cheng is very comfortable with buying new year’s goods. They have never been able to return to China when they were abroad, so the New Year’s Eve is extraordinarily grand every year. The decorations are all done by him. The couplet lanterns are all basic, and there are also window grilles, blessing calendar pendants, potted plants, various fruits, dried goods, salty goods, dried fruit snacks, roasted seeds and nuts, and wine gift boxes that need to be given as gifts. If you can send them, please leave the address and send them to the Ming Mansion. Go, if you can't send it, Ah Cheng will hold it in your hand and stuff it all into the car.

After they finished buying according to the requirements on the eldest sister's list, and each added a lot of messy things, it was very difficult to carry them all to the car. This time the procurement plan was officially declared over, but when they came out of the new government office, the weather was still bad. That's right, now that things are done and ready to eat, the sky is starting to rain lightly and the wind is blowing and it's a bit cold. Fortunately, Lingxi has an umbrella on the car so that he won't get drenched.

Ah Cheng knew that Lingxi never liked scarves, so her neck was always bald. He took off his scarf and wrapped it around Lingxi's neck, telling her not to take it off outside, and then held the umbrella in one hand and hugged it in the other. She came to a western restaurant to eat with her shoulders together.There were not many people in the restaurant at the moment, Ah Cheng took Lingxi to choose a seat facing the street and the window and sat down, the two ordered a steak each, Lingxi watched the people coming and going outside the window, Ah Cheng watched Lingxi.

Lingxi turned around and met Ah Cheng's hot eyes. He put one hand in the pocket of his coat and the other hand was holding the napkin on the table. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated. , In fact, Lingxi discovered it very early. Ah Cheng touched his pockets many times today, but she didn't ask any more questions if Ah Cheng didn't say anything, but now this expression is too obvious, "What's in your pocket? You touched it many times."

"I knew you must have discovered it." Ah Cheng got up and sat next to Ling Xi, and took out a velvet box from his pocket, "I bought this when I was still in France, didn't I ask when your birthday was?" , I wanted to send you a birthday present, but then my eldest brother decided to return to China, so I just wanted to give it to you in person."

Lingxi took the box and opened it, and found that it was an 18K gold bracelet inlaid with enamel and emeralds, with a circle of pearls the size of rice grains on the outside. The bracelet was relatively wide and not light, but it looked very delicate and beautiful.When Lingxi was taking jewelry design, a teacher specially introduced the modern European palace-style bracelet, which is very similar to this one. It is a very characteristic bracelet of the times, "It looks so beautiful, I thought it was given to you by someone else. So you have been hiding in your pocket and dare not let me know, why is a bracelet so hesitant, put it on for me to try."

Ah Cheng watched Lingxi take off the watch on his left wrist naturally, and put his hand in front of him without hesitation. The scar that had been hidden under the watch strap was exposed like this. He was a little sad, and put down his hand Caressing the scar with the bracelet, "Here, does it still hurt..."

"So you've been hesitating because you're worried about my scar?" At this time, Lingxi realized why Ah Cheng didn't dare to give the bracelet out, and she took Ah Cheng's hand to comfort him, "It's okay, it's already two It's been a year, and the pain has long since disappeared."

In fact, when Lingxi was hospitalized last time, Ah Cheng found a scar on her left wrist that looked like it had been there for a long time. It was not long but had stitches. He gestured at the scar and it was obviously a girl. A common means of self-harm.Only then did he realize that Lingxi had been wearing a watch with an extra wide strap that didn't match her temperament at all, in order to cover up this scar.He asked the elder sister how the wound came about, the elder sister just sighed and said that Lingxi chose to do something stupid on her own birthday and her father's memorial day, but fortunately the elder sister always felt that something was wrong and went to see it before she found out. Afterwards, he wanted to snatch the knife away, but he hurt his hand while pulling.

Ah Cheng still remembers that when the elder sister said this, there were tears in her eyes, "This child is so strong, the wound on her hand is much more serious than mine, and the blood flowed all over the ground. Ah Xiang was so frightened that she didn't know What should I do? She drove us to the hospital with her own car. My wound only needed to be bandaged. Hers needed stitches, but she was allergic to anesthesia. She didn’t cry or cry out when the stitches were done. , still comforting me."

At this time, the waiter just brought up the steak. Seeing the two sitting on one side, the waiter thought that there would be another person coming from the opposite side, so he put the two steaks on the same side and left without thinking much.Ah Cheng put his steak back on the opposite side, and took Lingxi's steak to cut for her, "We were still a little rusty when we first returned to China, so we didn't dare to give away the bracelet. I didn’t dare to give it away when I found the wound on your hand. I asked my eldest sister, but she didn’t explain it very clearly, so can you tell me the reason?”

"Actually, there's nothing I can't say. I don't really care about this scar. The elder sister dragged me to pick out the watch. She said it must be covered up or it won't look good." Lingxi was thinking about how to speak clearly. "It's just that the reasons are a bit complicated. Generally speaking, my worldview and beliefs collapsed at that time. I feel that my life in this world is useless except for causing trouble to others. In vain, I have been studying for more than ten years. Intellectuals, so let's just end it, and start over 18 years later and be a good guy again."

Ah Cheng pushed the cut steak in front of Lingxi, and put the bracelet on her hand. He was quite sad at first, but when Lingxi said this out of the blue, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter, " It's a good thing you didn't start over, otherwise there would be no Li Lingxi in Mingcheng's life."

"If there is anything else, there will be none at all. At that time, I didn't know you at all." Lingxi took a bite of the steak and found that the steak in this restaurant was not bad, very tender and in line with her taste.

"That's not necessarily true, maybe we are destined for three lives, who knows if we have met before that." Ah Cheng grabbed Lingxi's hand and snatched a piece of meat from her fork, "Well, it's not bad It's delicious, I can come to this store again next time."

Lingxi had no choice but to fork another piece and feed it to him. They tried a lot when they bought snacks today, and they are really not very hungry now, "Hurry up and sit back at your seat, if you don't eat your steak, it will be cold .”

Ah Cheng put away the box containing the bracelet and stuffed it into his pocket, ready to sit back in his seat, but when he looked up, he saw a man and a woman walking past them with umbrellas, talking and laughing. A man is Mingtai.He looked down at Lingxi and found that she was about to look out the window, Ah Cheng was a little anxious and couldn't think of a good way, so he put his hands on Lingxi's face and kissed her on the mouth.

"What are you doing?" Lingxi now had a black question mark face, she wanted to break free from Ah Cheng's hand but couldn't at all.

Ah Cheng didn't speak but just kissed her on the lips again, and Ming Tai, who looked out of the window out of the corner of his eye, pulled his female companion and ran away, presumably seeing him.

"Brother Ah Cheng, let me go, a lot of people are watching!" This would be nothing to Lingxi in modern times, but now their actions are very eye-catching, Lingxi's voice is much quieter, "Let go of me."

Ah Cheng let go of his hand only after confirming that Lingxi could not see Mingtai from this position. He felt that according to Lingxi's memory, even if she had only seen pictures of Mingtai, now Mingtai walked away from her so openly In the past, as long as she saw her, she would definitely recognize her. Lingxi would definitely know the elder sister if she knew about it. The three brothers' identities were tacitly hidden from the elder sister. It's just that Lingxi is too smart to guess some of them by himself, and later Lingxi also helped them a lot in missions, so the identities of him and his eldest brother are considered tacit in front of Lingxi.

He is actually very embarrassed now, but he still has to make amends for his behavior, "I can't help it, you are so cute, I can't help but want to kiss you."

"It's not serious at all." Lingxi blushed immediately, he pushed Ah Cheng up from the seat, "Hurry up and sit back in your seat and eat your steak, I'll kiss you so oily. "

***

Yu Manli was walking on the road well, but suddenly she was pulled by Mingtai and ran away. She seemed to be running away. She wanted to say that she was wearing a pair of hats and it was raining today. Why? Just run away suddenly? !

And Mingtai couldn't explain it to Yu Manli for a while. He saw his brother Ah Cheng kissing a girl with long hair in the restaurant. But fortunately they didn't see him when they kissed them, otherwise he wouldn't go home in Shanghai, maybe he would be punished by his elder brother, but he was a little curious, who was that girl, and he didn't listen to it before returning to China Said that brother Ah Cheng has a girlfriend, how long did it take to kiss him after returning to China?
