The black box of "Bueery" is the one I saw last time I saw it outside the barbecue bar.

Suddenly, Qiu Lan understood what Xu Chengyan was going to say next, she frowned, lowered her eyes, and thought darkly.

Soft and soothing music lingered in the box, the aroma of plum wine lingered in the hearts of the two, and a gentle and solemn voice quietly sounded.

"Doctor Qiu. Xu Chengyan paused, his Adam's apple rolled up and down to look, dense fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly, "Actually, I." ”

Before coming, he thought for a long time about how to show his heart to Qiu Lan.

He has a lot of beautiful and moving words and touching true feelings, but when it comes to the critical moment, he can't say a word, and this feeling of affection in his heart is really uncomfortable.

Qiu Lan, who was sitting at the wooden table, closed her red lips tightly, and the expression on her face was not joy or surprise, but a little embarrassed.

Not only did she know his intentions, but many people around her also understood them.

Actually, Qiu Lan came to the banquet tonight just to accompany him for his birthday, and the box and the current scene were something she didn't expect at all.

For a moment, she froze in place, a little at a loss, not knowing what to do now.

"Doctor Qiu, look at this. Xu Chengyan opened the black box and pushed it in front of Qiu Lan, "This is my heart." ”

Inside the black box lies a ring silently, on which are two hearts, one large and one small, fit each other, and pure and transparent diamonds are embedded in the heart.

Next to the ring, there is also an ancient sentence engraved in silver font, "Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said." Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”

"Doctor Qiu, in fact, I don't know when I fell in love with you, maybe it was when I was investigating Qiu's case, or it could be in Donglang Mountain. ”

The gentle gaze was fixed on Qiu Lan's cheeks, and Xu Chengyan confided his heart word by word, feeling the beating heart in his chest.

A faint crimson crept up beside his face, this was the first time he blushed in front of a woman, and it was also the first time that he had the most sincere feelings in his heart.

"I like you. ”

Suddenly, the four words of warmth jumped out from between Xu Chengyan's lips and teeth and jumped into Qiu Lan's ears.

He pushed the ring on the table in front of her, and said softly, "You, can you be my girlfriend?"

The particles in the air stopped their Brownian motion at this moment, and the entire box fell silent for an instant, except for the sound of high-rise and low-rise breathing, and the sound of anxiously waiting heartbeats.

Qiu Lan, who looked solemn, lowered her eyes, pursed her red lips lightly, and thought about this matter silently in her heart.

However, she was not thinking about whether to accept him, but thinking about how to refuse to reduce the harm to him.

Xu Chengyan is a mature, steady, confident and optimistic person, and he will be a good husband and father in the future, but he is not the one who can accompany her.

His life was simple and peaceful, but what about her?

With a deep hatred of blood on her body, and the Qiu family is inextricably linked, the future will definitely not be peaceful, and she can't distract her mind now.

Revenge and taking back the Qiu Group is the most important thing for her.

Besides, in Qiu Lan's heart, Xu Chengyan has always been a great work partner, and he can be a good friend in private, but he doesn't think he will become a lover.

She knew this very well in her heart.

Her and Xu Chengyan's lives are two parallel lines, and no matter how close they are, they will never intersect.

What's more, she almost became Li Shanghan's fiancée three years ago, and now she has been entangled in her ordinary life by this man.

In such a situation, if she accepts Xu Chengyan's feelings, it will be truly irresponsible.

So no matter what, she wouldn't agree to him.

"Officer Xu, I can't accept this ring. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and pushed the black box back in front of Xu Chengyan, "Thank you very much for your appreciation of me, this is an affirmation of me, but this feeling is too abrupt for me, I can't accept it." ”

A few words hit Xu Chengyan's heart coldly and hard, and a touch of loss suddenly slipped through his eyes.

The black eyes that were originally shining with light instantly dimmed.

"Doctor Qiu, why?" Xu Chengyan looked at her gloomily, his brows furrowed.

He didn't expect that Qiu Lan would reject him so neatly, without even having time to react.

"Officer Xu, you are my very good partner at work, and in life, we can also be friends, but just friends. Qiu Lan lowered her eyes, her eyes flowed, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you." ”

Can't say yes.

These cold words are like a basin of ice water, poured from the head, extremely biting,

"Doctor Qiu, yes, is it because of Lawyer Li?"

I don't know why, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"No, Officer Xu, it's not because of others, it's not because of you, it's that I really can't fall in love now, your feelings and this ring are too heavy for me. Qiu Lan stared solemnly at the person in front of her, her expression solemn.

"Okay, I see. Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but this smile was a little stiff and disappointed.

This is the first time he has confessed, and he was rejected unexpectedly, which is undoubtedly a blow to him, but it will not knock him down.

It's just that they were rejected, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to take care of the thatched house, not to mention, they have known each other for less than a month now, and it is normal to refuse.

Xu Chengyan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing slightly.

As long as Qiu Lan is not with Li Shanghan or others, there is still a chance, right?

Always try again.

He clenched his fists and raised his eyes to stare at the person in front of him, "Doctor Qiu, today's incident is indeed too abrupt, I hope you don't mind." ”

"No, of course not, we'll still be good partners in the future. Qiu Lan hooked her lips and nodded slightly.

Hearing him say this, her heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her brows stretched a lot.

After eating, Xu Chengyan was going to send Qiu Lan home, but she received a call temporarily, saying that there was a new discovery in the oil drum mystery case, so she left in a hurry, and she went back by car alone.

Back at Clear Water Bay, Qiu Lan lazily collapsed on the sofa, and the big golden retriever cookie hugged her feet excitedly, humming constantly, and the biscuits that had not taken care of her much also rubbed her.

I probably didn't see each other all night last night, so I guess it's a little more lovesick.

The tired Qiu Lan closed her eyes and hugged the soft pillow weakly, and her body suddenly relaxed.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was woken up by the crisp ringing of the phone.

It's Qi Mo!

Last month's bonus came down, and she excitedly asked Qiu Lan to go shopping, and of course Qiu Lan couldn't refuse her.

Suddenly, she thought about the small market, where she and Qi Mo often went when they were in junior high school, and they could take this opportunity to go back and look for memories of the past, and also to see if there were any new clues.
