[The pretender is deeply in love] The ups and downs of troubled times

The yellowish light reflects a colorful shimmer under the colored glass lampshade, and the low and hoarse voice of the gramophone comes from the corner.It's not the most popular foreign language song now, but the old Jiangnan minor tune, Wu Nong's soft language is lingering, shrouded in this world, not affected by the raging war outside.

Ming Lou curled up his fingers leisurely and tapped the table lightly, very leisurely.Su Yunyi held the glass full of lemonade in front of her, felt the warm touch from the smooth glass wall, and drove away the coolness in her palm: "This is really like a paradise."

Minglou chuckled and shook his head: "So all the warmth and comfort are illusions."

"You are very good at destroying the atmosphere." Su Yunyi glared at him dissatisfied.Of course she knew it was fake, it was just a feeling of her yearning for a better life.

Minglou smiled nonchalantly and took a sip of water.

"Hi, Mr. Minglou." The strange voice interrupted their conversation.Wearing white clothes and a delicate mustache, a tall foreign man walked slowly pushing a silver dining car.

Minglou stood up with smile lines on his face: "Hi, Simon, long time no see."

"If you don't come today, I'm afraid we don't know when we will see you again." Simon walked over with open arms regretfully, and hugged Minglou: "I heard that you have a girlfriend, is this beautiful lady?" ?”

"Hello, beautiful lady." Simon stretched out his overly fair, slender hand: "My name is Simon."

Su Yunyi looked at this extremely graceful hand, wandered around and looked at Simon who was smiling kindly, and slowly stretched out his hand, I stopped him: "Mr. Simon, hello, nice to meet you, I am Su Yunyi .”

Gentleman Simon bent down, and the bright red lips were sent to the back of Su Yunyi's hand, and the back of the hand that was still touched was retracted as slippery as a snake.The owner of the hand also curled up under the dining table in shock, the whole person was on alert like a hedgehog, and the hand kept rubbing against the clothes.

Simon also froze in place in shock, looked at Minglou apologetically and shrugged: "Oh, I'm sorry. Don't be nervous, this is our etiquette, and there is no offense at all. It's my fault that I forgot, Chinese girls are not used to these things. .”

Having said that, the young lady's reaction was too exaggerated.Simon kept these words in his heart and did not say them.

"Simon, it's okay. Let me do it." Minglou didn't care about the surprised eyes of the people around him, lifted the tablecloth and squatted down, hugged the trembling Su Yunyi with his arms, and held her tightly in his arms: "I Here, don't be afraid, I'll be with you. If you can't face me, I'll always be with you, and I'll bring the dinner down, okay?"

"You," Yingying's eyes were red with tears.

Minglou sat cross-legged indifferently, and even put her on his lap: "I've never eaten here before, so it's good to try. Let's try this special dinner tonight. Simon, please..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Yunyi covered his mouth: "I don't want to eat here."

Get off Minglou's lap, get out, and bent over apologetically: "I'm sorry to scare you, because I had an unpleasant manager before, so my reaction is more sensitive, I'm really sorry."

"Oh, it's okay." It turned out that I was harassed before, no wonder it was like this: "I'm really sorry, if I knew in advance, I wouldn't be so rash."

"It's okay if you don't know. I just hope my reaction doesn't embarrass you."

"Where is there, in order to express my apology, I will treat you to this dinner."

"No need, Simon." Simon said this, which made Su Yunyi feel even more apologetic.It's clearly my own problem, how embarrassing to let others pay the bill now.Her eyes for help met Minglou who had already stood up.

Minglou nodded knowingly, communicated with Simon himself, and finally gave a discount and only paid half of the payment, so that both parties don't have to worry about this matter anymore.

"If you poke it any further, it will almost turn into meat paste." Ming Lou took the plate in front of her, thoughtfully cut the beef into small pieces, and then put it back in front of her: "Eat it. "

"Oh." Su Yunyi snorted, "Tonight, I..."

Minglou put down the tableware in his hand and looked at her seriously, "I am very happy and proud tonight. There are many things to be happy and proud of in one's life, but today I am the happiest. glory."

A delicate and weak little girl, no matter what hardships she suffered in her childhood.At least after she entered the Su family, she lived an exquisite life. No matter what the wind and rain outside, Mr. Su would naturally cover her up, and lived the life of Miss Jiao for more than ten years.After facing the blows given by life, he was able to stand up again. This alone made him feel happy and proud.

Su Yunyi tilted her head, carefully pondering the expression on his face: "You don't dislike me for embarrassing you?" A good dinner, being messed up like this, I'm afraid everyone would turn into anger from embarrassment.

Minglou took her restless hand and grabbed the tablecloth's little hand: "You're silly, eat it quickly. The steak will be fishy when it's cold."

"Ah."

The cold moonlight elongates the figures of the two, and the scene is intertwined without distinguishing between you and me.Su Yunyi lay in Minglou's embrace like a cat, smelling the smell of tea on his body, the corners of her lips curved like a crescent moon: "Brother Minglou."

"Ok?"

"Brother Minglou."

"Ok?"

"Brother Minglou."

'Snapped. 'He patted her waist gently, and a doting voice sounded in his ears: "Naughty."

"I haven't been this happy for a long time." Ever since that incident happened, I've been more or less hiding in my shell, always depressed and unable to express.And today was the first time I laughed so happily, not only because I stood up strong and bravely, but also because I knew that brother Minglou's heart was not completely blackened, and he still had a conscience.I believe that in time, I will be able to help him find the correct position.

Minglou stopped walking, supported her by the shoulders, and looked at her face to face.Wen Hou's callused hands gently slid across her face, and the affection in her eyes was like a vast ocean, surrounding her tightly, making her unable to extricate herself: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Yunyi, I hope that no matter what you encounter in the future, you will face it as strong and brave as today."

"Yes, Chief Ming." After stamping his feet and saluting.She couldn't help sticking out her tongue again, and chuckled.

"Naughty." Minglou pinched her nose, held her face in his hands, and kissed her lightly.Su Yunyi stood on tiptoe, intertwined her hands behind his neck, and responded meekly.

"Yunyi, you promise me. You must be well, you know? No matter when and where, whoever you meet, you must be well, don't worry me."

"Well, I promise you."

In the brightly lit Ming Mansion, Aunt Gui, dressed in jujube-colored clothes, was diligently cleaning the cabinets, but she kept looking out the window with her bright eyes.

Ah Xiang brought out the prepared soup bowl from the kitchen and put it in front of Ah Cheng.Heading towards the kitchen again, he glanced at Aunt Gui who had been standing there for nearly half an hour: "Hey, Aunt Gui, what are you looking at?"

Aunt Gui was startled by the sudden noise, she smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's so late, why hasn't the young master come back yet." She glanced at Ah Cheng who was sitting on the sofa flipping through the newspaper: "Why don't you accompany the young master?"

Ah Cheng put the newspaper aside, picked up the bowl, and said without raising his head: "You also know that he is the young master, can I restrain him and not let him go?"

Aunt Gui was choked by this, and murmured: "I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction in your heart, but the Young Master and Missy are our benefactors and our masters, no matter what, we must abide by our duties as servants."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Cheng put the bowl heavily on the coffee table: "I know what to do with my affairs, I don't need you to teach me." He got up and turned out of the restaurant. A fluffy sentence 'I will not always be a servant. '

Staring at the back of Ah Cheng going away, Aunt Gui smiled with satisfaction, put away the dishcloth and turned back to her room.

The dull ticking of the midnight clock echoed faintly in this quiet night.Ah Cheng pushed the door open and entered without making a sound.

Ming Lou was wearing a vest, sitting quietly behind the large desk with thick eyebrows frowned, clasped his hands on the table, and looked at him solemnly: "How is it?"

"I just received the news that Staff Lin and his team will arrive tomorrow afternoon. I will meet with them then." Ah Cheng's stern brows were filled with hesitation: "Brother, you must do this. I'm afraid..."

Ming Lou took a deep look at Ah Cheng, and said: "From the first day I joined this business, I have been prepared to sacrifice at any time. Everything has been arranged, we just need to follow the plan."

"I understand."

Minglou nodded: "It's getting late, why don't you go to rest early?"

"Yes, good night, brother."

"Good night."

Minglou sat quietly like a statue for a while, opened the drawer on the right hand side, and found a group photo from a stack of documents: Yunyi was charmingly holding the elder sister's hand, resting her head on her shoulder, Looking at the camera with a bright smile on his face.I, Mingtai and Ah Cheng are still standing behind, no difference.Only I know that when I took this photo, Yunyi passed through the little hand of the elder sister's arm, intertwining her fingers naughtily, as if they were one.

After quietly looking at the photo for a while, rubbing the photo repeatedly with his thumb, he quickly opened the drawer and put it back in place.He got up and turned off the lights, and left the study.
