"Oops!" the girl was so frightened that her hand slipped and almost threw the thermos box on the ground, but Lin Zi was quick and grabbed the handle to save his dinner.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I scared you!" Lin Zi said hurriedly.

"I'm shocked, where did you see me?" the girl named Lin Shan couldn't help but ask.

"Uhh No, I just suddenly remembered why you are so familiar, I used to have a female classmate who looked very similar to you. Lin Zitan hurriedly explained.

"Oh, so that's the case, is she in America too?" the girl laughed, her voice soft, very well-behaved.

"Oh, no, she's in China, and she's my junior high school classmate!"

Lin Zitan was sweating wildly in his heart, these were all made up by Lin Zitan, in fact, he was so excited that he discovered a very wonderful thing: this Lin Shan turned out to be the eldest daughter of the relative who borrowed the living room for him before Lin Guodong.

When Lin Guodong stayed at their house, this Lin Shan seemed to have started to work, and before getting married, she had been squeezing in the two-bedroom ZF building with her parents. But when Lin Guodong returned to New York, it was very late to run to their house, so he only saw her a few times occasionally.

"Fate is really ingenious! I didn't expect to meet her here!" Lin Zitan's heart was turbulent, but on the surface, he just smiled lightly and said a word of thanks to Lin Shan.

"Then, then I'll go back first, you eat this thing slowly, it's dried oxtail powder from Fuzhou, my mother cooked it herself, it's delicious, you see if you like it, I'll come back tomorrow to get the thermos box!"

Lin Shan looked at Lin Zitan absent-mindedly, and she was embarrassed to stay longer, after all, they were two complete strangers, although they were of the same age, she still felt shy and uncomfortable.

"Oh, do you live in Amsterdam?" asked Lin Zitan, suddenly.

"What?。。。 We live in Chinatown, it's very close, you don't have to worry!" Lin Shan thought that Lin Zitan was worried that her residence was far from safe, and quickly replied.

"Oh, that's good, that's good!" Lin Zitan muttered to himself. I thought to myself, maybe Lin Shan's family hasn't lived in the ZF building at this time!

"Uh, you... Are you okay?" Lin Shan couldn't help but ask cautiously when she saw him so nervous.

"Oh, I'm fine, thank you again for coming over to bring me food, thank you so much!" Lin Zitan hurriedly said.

"You're welcome, then I'll go~" As she spoke, Lin Shan smiled and waved her hand to him.

It had been a long time since everyone had left, and Lin Zitan hadn't come back to his senses, so he couldn't figure out why he met Lin Shan during this period? Is it to repay his kindness? Or does Lin Guodong or Lin Zitan still have some deep connection with this family?

Although Lin Zitan had already prepared to be at peace when he came, he was still a little stunned by Lin Shan's appearance.

The more unpredictable it is, the more human beings like to ponder, as one of the philosophers said, "When man thinks, God laughs." "But if you don't even think, you can't distinguish between humans and other species, don't you?

Lin Zitan didn't think of a reason in the end, so he sighed helplessly: "Fate seems to have a clever hand, everything may have already been under his arrangement, and we and other mortal bodies can neither understand nor change, so we can only play slowly according to the rules of his old man's game!"

。。。。。。。

Li Manrui followed Mike to a fashion store near Prince Street in Midtown.

It's a small store that specializes in clothing and accessories designed by Mike's cousin and her partner, all packed in the window and designed to appeal to wealthy people who want to make a custom or some fashionable young ladies or models who go shopping privately.

Don't look at this small storefront, but it is surrounded by famous products. There are not only world-famous brands such as LV, PRADA, FENDI, DIOR, etc., but also many niche brands or independent design studios.

"Hi Marry, it's nice to see you again~" Mike's cousin's name is Linda, she is a mixed Italian and American race, her golden brown hair is particularly dazzling, a standard Western beauty, warm and cheerful, she has to come forward to give a big hug when she sees someone, making you feel that you have long been close friends with her, in fact, this is the second time Li Manrui has seen her.

I heard Mike say that she used to be a model, but because of her health, she quit the modeling industry and partnered with another designer to open this studio and fashion store. In addition to retail, on weekdays, it is more about private customization and clothing matching for some dignitaries, or rich women and beauties.

After expressing her enthusiasm to Li Manrui, Linda quickly threw herself into her role, and after listening to Mike's dress code, she spent a few minutes finding a black skirt from her many design pieces, with a wide collar woven from a sapphire pendant in the front, sleeveless shoulders, and a double-slanted skirt cut, like the other designs in her window, showing off her figure and fashion personality.

Before putting on this dress, Li Manrui was worried about whether the front would be too exposed, but after putting on the upper body, she didn't have this worry at all, because the collar was fixed with sapphires, which would not stretch the collar up, but made her more noble and elegant.

The sleeveless design also reveals her snow-white arms, the long skirt flutters as she walks, and her slender thighs are also looming. When she walked out of the changing room, Mike's eyes were straight when she saw it!

"WOW, that's perfect!" Mike said happily as he stood up from the round stool he had been sitting on, clapping his hands.

"yes, Marry, you're so beautiful, you can be a model in my shop, this dress really suits you! ”

Linda and Mike were full of praise for Li Manrui's figure, and at the same time quickly found out what she was not satisfied with, and before Li Manrui could say more, the person had already walked to the place where the shoes were placed and took a pair of red stiletto sandals, which were at least 20 centimeters long.

"If you wear these shoes, you must be more perfect!" said and pulled Li Manrui to change.

"But Linda, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm not suitable for such tall shoes~" Li Manrui hesitated, but still reached out to stop Linda's hand from taking off her shoes.

“Why not?” Linda looked at her in confusion and then looked back at Mike.

"Oh, that's right, I'm pregnant, for the sake of safety, so..." Li Manrui didn't want to tell the pregnancy, but at this moment she had to tell the truth.

"Wow~ Really? Great, Congratulations, Mike, I know you and Amanda have always wanted to have another daughter, I hope you will have a daughter this time!" Linda said excitedly as she heard this.

"Uh, who is Amanda?" Li Manrui was reluctant to ask, but in the end, she couldn't help it.

"You don't know Amanda, she's Mike's ex-wife, she's a very beautiful and attractive woman, you must not have had a chance to meet her yet, if you do, you will like her!"

When LInda mentions Amanda, it is all full of praise, and the woman she is talking about seems to be only in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world. Li Manrui unnaturally followed the gushing Linda and said with a smile: "Really, I'm really looking forward to meeting her!"

"Oh, she's always coming to our store, she's actually our biggest investor, isn't she? You have to introduce Marry to Amanda, she's sad that you didn't invite her when you got married!"

Speaking of her investors, Linda really gave full play to her enthusiasm and admiration, if it was in China, Li Manrui must have felt that this Linda was deliberately provoking her and Mike's husband and wife's feelings, but seeing that Mike also looked approving, Li Manrui was not very sure.

Listening to Linda's praise of Mike's ex-wife for a long time, Li Manrui was of course a little uncomfortable, but she tried her best to be generous and elegant, but when she left, she resolutely refused to change into that pair of red haters, although her current shoes are not high, it is enough to match that skirt, there is no need to challenge her limits, not to mention taking care of the baby in her belly.

Sitting in the car again, Mike still didn't want to explain anything to Li Manrui as before. Li Manrui stroked her forehead and quietly took several deep breaths, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to talk about her?"

"Who?" said Mike, looking nonchalant.

"Amanda, or your ex-wife. Li Manrui's voice was very soft, and she tried her best to make herself sound calm and breezy.
