Xiao Yuan tried not to think about Xue Mingyu, tried not to think about his real purpose in coming to New York, and she was not willing to spy on Xue Mingyu's heart.

After so many years, she is so tired, she is tired of playing the game of chasing, she doesn't dare to love and hate when she was young, she is no longer that kind of girl.

After a week, they didn't see each other again, Xiao Yuan originally wanted to meet Moer, but in the end it didn't take shape, mainly because she didn't want to have too many entanglements with Xue Mingyu.

For a week, she didn't go on a blind date, because she had already told Xiao Dingshan that she and Pete got along well and would continue to date.

Xiao Dingshan was very satisfied with Xiao Yuan's attitude, as long as she was obedient and obedient, as long as the Xiao family could get through the difficulties, he would definitely not blame her.

But.

Xiao Dingshan still reminded her before she went upstairs: "You did a good job this time, but the ugly words were said in front, and then something went wrong, I will teach you a lesson with interest, you know, if you marry He Yankai, the Xiao family will not have these problems." ”

He's and Sicheng, these two companies that are so high in Tan City and even the whole country, were pushed away by Xiao Yuan.

She gave up such a huge empire, and in the end she had to go on a blind date, which must have been self-inflicted.

Xiao Yuan sighed and went upstairs with a faint expression.

This week, she had occasional phone calls with Pete, who had gone to Los Angeles for work and would return on the weekends and perhaps meet her up.

Xiao Yuan has decided that they are going to talk about marriage when they meet this time, and the sooner the better.

Xue Mingyu still stays here, and during the day, she will do some work in the study, hold remote video conferences, and then go to the park, bookstore and other places to sit, and the day is very leisurely.

He Yankai's call came on Friday night, Xue Mingyu washed up, saw that the phone was vibrating, he wiped his hair, saw the caller ID, and picked it up expressionlessly, but his tone was very relaxed: "I thought it should be Kyaukjiao who called me." ”

The other end chuckled: "You think there are too many things, it's okay to stay there?" Jiaojiao went upstairs and told me to call you one first. ”

A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Xue Mingyu's lips: "It's not bad, it's nothing special." ”

"Then you should pick a time to come back, Sheng Yu has a lot of things over there, you can't keep letting Tang Mo watch it, he's been very busy lately. ”

He Yankai watched Mu Jiao come down from upstairs, with a bunch of extra clothes in his arms, frowned, and got up to greet him.

Xue Mingyu listened to him carefully reprimand on the phone: "You are dishonest, when will you not be able to accept this clothes, give it to me." ”

I also heard Mu Jiao muttering in a low voice: "I'm going to donate it tomorrow, stack it up today, what are you murdering." ”

Xue Mingyu's expression was soft, and the corners of her lips were lightly hooked, and after a while, Mu Jiao answered the phone: "Mingyu, tell me the truth, why did you go to New York so suddenly this time?"

She is always a little too smart, so direct, Xue Mingyu thought of the bed in the hotel that night, Xiao Yuan took his hand, muttered and spoke, and was silent before saying, "I haven't come back to visit relatives this year, just right." ”

"What do you mean by just right, it just so happened that Xiao Yuan went back, did you chase her?"

Mu Jiao didn't know Xue Mingyu best, before Xue Mingyu met her, she had experienced a lot of things, and she didn't know it, but she knew him best now.

Chase her, chase Xiao Yuan?

Sounds a bit fanciful.

Some time ago, Xiao Yuan had officially parted ways with him, and what he said was ruthless and decisive, and there was no room for maneuver.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Jiao understood, and sighed lightly: "You hurt others so deeply, it may be a little late to make efforts now, Mingyu." ”

After a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Suddenly feeling depressed, he put down his towel, walked to the window and opened it, and the fresh air suddenly penetrated his body.

It's like the smell of Xiao Yuan's body, a little cold and a little impatient.

In Xue Mingyu's impression, Xiao Yuan has always been that little girl, eighteen years old, who likes to eat lollipops or chewing gum on weekdays, and has to eat something in her mouth anyway.

It looks good when you're smiling, and it's especially good when you're not smiling.

When I saw her for the first time, I fell in love with her, and I didn't care about my fiancée, so I did something with this girl.

Xiao Yuan likes him, he can see at a glance that he likes to laugh at that time, he looks so handsome, and he is an Asian, so he can easily become the focus of the crowd.

In their cramped space, Xue Mingyu pressed her body and said slowly, "Do you know who I am?"

She really didn't know the height of the sky at that time, she smiled so brightly, hooked his neck and said sly and firmly: "You are Xue, you are about to get married, but you like me." ”

A cool breeze hit, the picture disappeared in vain, Xue Mingyu closed the window with a look of relief, and the room was quiet.

On Sunday, Xiao Yuan and Xiao's mother went shopping, because Xiao Meng was alone in China, Xiao's mother was always worried, thinking about buying something for her, afraid that Xiao Meng would be reluctant to spend money.

She decided to stay in China and live in Xiao Yuan's original apartment, which is really frugal and tries not to spend the family's money.

"Your sister wasn't so frugal before, and this time when she returned home, I don't know which tendon was wrong. ”

Xiao's mother was chatting with Xiao Yuan while picking up something, Xiao Yuan responded perfunctorily, picked up a man's cuff and looked at it twice.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao's mother was about to talk about her, when she saw her looking at the cufflinks, so she asked, "How are you and Pete?"

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows: "He invited me to dinner tonight, and I am going to give this to him, what do you think?"

Xiao's mother's expression softened: "It's good that you can see it, your father is that kind of person, don't blame him, you are not too young, and getting married is the right choice." ”

Xiao Yuan didn't say anything, only ordered someone to wrap up the cufflinks, and they picked out two more dresses and left.

On the way back, Xiao's mother saw that she was not in a high mood, and wanted to persuade her that the previous incident with Xue Mingyu made no one in the family know.

Xiao Yuan smiled: "Mom, just spare me, aren't I quite obedient now, I'm back, what are you worried about? I'm a big living person by your side, who else can I call to run away? Also, don't worry about Mengmeng's affairs, she didn't want to stay in New York anymore, she didn't want to be since she was a child, don't force her." ”

Xiao's mother was stunned for a moment, and understood what she meant, when she forced Xiao Yuan to give up this, give up that, and become like this, does Xiao Meng still have to force it?

When the car arrived home, both men were silent, and the maid took the bag.

"Madam, there is a guest at home, and Mr. said that dinner will be eaten at home, please set the menu. ”

A few people walked towards the courtyard, Xiao's mother nodded, the servant pushed the door open, and they went in one after the other.

There was a sound of conversation in the living room, and Xiao Mu and Xiao Yuan were already smiling formulaicly.

But when he walked to the living room and saw the familiar back, Xiao Yuan's whole smile stiffened at the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Dingshan naturally pointed at the man: "Mr. Xue has been here for a while." ”

Xue Mingyu got up slowly, straightened her cuffs, and then stretched out her hand: "Hello Mrs. Xiao." ”

Xiao's mother was also shocked, she vaguely remembered his appearance: "You are, you are Xue Mingyu?"

Xue Mingyu bowed lightly: "I've been in New York for a while, and I came to see you." ”

He has always been polite and gentlemanly, and he didn't cast a glance at Xiao Yuan when he entered the door, so self-contained, or rather, he didn't want to look at it at all.

Xiao Yuan withdrew her surprised look, and her voice was slightly low: "It's okay, I'll go upstairs, I won't eat at home at night, Pete will ask me." ”

Hearing this, Xue Mingyu put her hand in her pocket, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and didn't look at her from beginning to end.

Xiao Dingshan was quite satisfied with his performance and asked him to sit down and talk, while Xiao's mother went to prepare dinner.

"My daughter has never learned etiquette, and she hasn't learned it well since she was a child. ”

"Where, it won't. ”

Xiao Dingshan glanced at him, and there was a little coldness in his eyes: "Mr. Xue suddenly came over to talk to me about cooperation, I was shocked, what are you trying to do with me." ”

The Xiao family is quite direct, and Xiao Yuan is mostly like him.

"Mr. Xiao, just pay off your debts. ”

This rhetoric, he didn't want to say it before he came, he originally thought of a bunch of reasons for himself, and there was always one that was suitable, but when he saw Xiao Yuan, he didn't want to say it so hard.

Blame the mother-in-law for the mother-in-law.

Xiao Dingshan's face turned cold: "Repay the debt?" As soon as the words changed, he said directly: "I know that you come to invest and cooperate with me, but you are here for Xiao Yuan, I am usually rigid, this matter is not something you can solve by doing this, although I value interests, but your little profit, it is not worth me to give Xiao Yuan to you, you matter, I still won't agree, since you cooperate with me, then give you some shares." ”

Xiao Dingshan said clearly and clearly, Xiao Yuan, who was hidden in the corner of the second floor, heard it clearly, and her heart was turbulent.

And Xue Mingyu has always been so quiet, quiet and terrifying.

There was no expression on his face, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

After a long time, he said, "How much can Pete help her?"

After finishing speaking, a book suddenly rolled down the stairs, thick, and smashed on the ground with a loud sound, and the two of them followed the sound, Xiao Yuan hurriedly ran out.

"I'm sorry, the book is off. ”

She ran down, and just as she bent over, there was an extra hand in front of her, picked up the book, patted the dust, and handed it to her: "Hold it steady next time." ”

Xiao Yuan pulled the corners of her mouth, dragged the book over, held it in her arms, turned her head to Xiao Dingshan and said, "I don't eat at home at night, Pete asks me, and I will talk to him about marriage." ”

Say this suddenly?

Xiao Dingshan glanced at Xue Mingyu meaningfully and raised his chin.

Xiao Yuan went back upstairs, Xue Mingyu stood there, only a little embarrassed, her eyes narrowed slightly, her temper was quite big.

Not long after, Xiao's mother said that it was time to eat, they moved over, Xiao Yuan also came down from upstairs, and at this stall, Xue Mingyu suddenly bowed: "Mr. Xiao, I still have something to do, I'm afraid I can't taste Mrs. Xiao's craftsmanship." ”

Xiao Dingshan symbolically left him two sentences, and said to Xiao Yuan: "You send him." ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Yuan glanced at Xue Mingyu and said quietly: "I just went to the appointment." ”

The two of them left one after the other, passing through the courtyard, no one spoke, and when they arrived at the gate, Xiao Yuan stood still, as if she was waiting for something.

And he had already gone to get the car and drove to her.

Xiao Yuan glanced at it with her peripheral vision, thinking that he would drive away directly, but at this time, Pete's phone called, and she picked up a smile: "If it's not convenient for you to pick me up, I can also take a taxi over." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you for ten minutes, and I'll ...... later" Seeing that the words hadn't been spoken, the phone had fallen neatly into Xue Mingyu's hands, and he spoke in a low cello-like voice: "She can't date you anymore, don't call her in the future." ”

Xiao Yuan didn't know what was wrong with her, she was thinking at this time, he spoke so English so well.

In a stunned moment, Xue Mingyu had already hung up the phone, stuffed it into her hand, and took away the bag she was carrying.

I opened it and glanced at it.

The famous brand, he usually wears their clothes.

Xiao Yuan came back to her senses and frowned fiercely: "What are you doing, you are ridiculous like this, do you know it?"

"I said, if you want to date someone, you have to find someone richer than me. ”

"You don't care if I'm looking for rich or not, you're sick, Xue Mingyu! I'm thirty, I'm going to get married, I'm going to have children, I'm not you, I have such a lovely son as Moer, I'm not young, you're delaying me like this! I've been delayed for more than ten years, so don't delay it longer!"

She was so angry, since they met in that restaurant, she lived in a state of anxiety every day, he was too close to her.

She was afraid that Xiao Dingshan would know that they were in contact with him and find trouble with him, but he wanted to go to her side and try to break into her life.

He definitely had his head squeezing the door.

As if the person who rejected her was not Xue Mingyu, he might need to see a doctor, or return to China immediately.

Xiao Yuan's eyes were red, and she went to grab the bag angrily, but it wasn't for him, why did he want to take it, but Xue Mingyu made it clear that she didn't want to give it to her, and when she pulled it back, she rushed over.

fell into his arms, Xue Mingyu didn't hug her, but lowered her voice and said, "I'm thirty-five, am I quite old." ”

Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed, and something seemed to cross her heart at once, and she slammed her into the pain, and she pushed him away violently.

He staggered back two steps and looked at him so hard.

As for him, as for the emotions in his eyes, he walked over unhurriedly, then grabbed her hand, turned around and pulled the car door, and sent her in.

Until the car drove away, Xiao Yuan's whole person was blank.

Mourning is greater than the death of the heart, and mourning is greater than the immortality of the heart.

She has worked hard for a long time, so hard, from the age of eighteen to now, a full twelve years, who can have a second twelve years of youth.

He buckled her seat belt, and he drove out smoothly, not forgetting to look in the rearview mirror, standing at the door and looking at their mother.

For forty minutes before arriving at his house, none of them spoke, and there was no music in the car, and the silence was terrible.

Seeing him change lanes, cross a silent path, and come to a residential area, she knew where he was going, and the mobile phone began to call frantically, she knew that it was Pete or Xiao Dingshan's call.

She felt like she was going crazy.

Suppressed and hoarse: "I'm tired." ”

The car was full of speed in vain, Xue Mingyu frowned almost imperceptibly, and in the next second, her big hand held hers, her hand was cold, clasping herself tightly, wrapped by him, and she didn't feel warm at all.

Her chest was full of dissatisfaction, all kinds of love and hatred, and she angrily shook his hand away, and shouted: "Have you had enough! I really don't know what you're thinking! I said I'm tired, I don't need any love, I need a family, I want to get married, I want to have children, you can't give it to me, stop! I told you to stop!"

She was very excited, her emotions were already unbearable at this moment, she couldn't stand it at all, she couldn't stand it when she saw him for the first time, and she endured it for so long.

She was in pain.

But he didn't let go and continued to drive, she struggled frantically, moving the steering wheel vigorously to break his hand.

Xue Mingyu's face was gloomy, and it was really a bit laborious to control her with one hand, but it was already a delusion for him to stop at this time.

Xiao Yuan didn't give him that opportunity at all, struggling desperately and resisting hard.

When the car finally got out of control and drove desperately towards the guardrail, he stepped on the brakes to the end, turned around and hugged Xiao Yuan cleanly into his arms.

With two bangs, the car crashed into the guardrail and finally came to a steady stop.

The airbag popped out to protect them, and he frowned, let go of the person in his arms, and asked her above her head, "Did you hurt anything?"

Xiao Yuan lowered his head, and his hand had naturally hung down, and the afterglow could be swept, and his arm was bruised, bleeding a little, and it was ugly.

As soon as her eyes tightened, Xiao Yuan bit her lower lip tightly, desperately trying not to let herself cry.

He couldn't see her shaking shoulders, swallowed the throat dragon, opened the door and got out of the car, walked to the co-pilot's side, unbuckled her seat belt, and pulled her out.

Fortunately, it was the guardrail in front of my house, otherwise it would have taken some time, and the weather was already bad at this time, and the lightning was thundering.

She was held by him, did not look up, endured her emotions, and came to his house step by step.

He set her up on the couch while he walked to the refrigerator, took out the grapefruit tea, scooped a spoonful into the cup, rinsed it with warm water, and brought it back to her.

Xiao Yuan stared at the grapefruit tea and took a deep breath: "What about the medicine box." ”

Xue Mingyu moved her eyebrows, and her expression softened slightly.

She took the medicine box from the cabinet according to Xue Mingyu's instructions, sat down beside him, and pulled his hand over, with a long abrasion mark.

Even though there was little bloodshed, it was shocking.

Probably thinking of today, when Xiao Yuan was taking the medicine, she was not gentle at all, but very hard, and pressed the potion one by one, if it was Lu Nanyi, she would have been beaten a long time ago.

But he wouldn't.

He has always been unfazed, and this arm is broken, and he doesn't seem to frown.

It's annoying to watch.

Xiao Yuan snorted lightly, and increased her strength again, and her anger was tight.

Xue Mingyu was so much taller than her, she lowered her head and drugged her, he only needed to raise his other arm to completely hug her into his arms, but he didn't do that, he only put his hand on the back of the sofa, looked at her with a smile, and indulged: "Relieved?"

Deflated?

Unhurried, it's just annoying.

Xiao Yuan threw away the cotton swab: "I don't want to talk to you." ”

After that, she got up and walked towards the door, and Xue Mingyu left her: "It's raining outside, and it's dark, you can stay here, there is a guest room in the corner of the second floor, and the sheets and quilts are all new and placed in the cabinet, you can change them yourself." ”

Lying on the bed in their guest room, Xiao Yuan felt that she was quite cheap, she had loved a man, she had listened to him since she was a child, admired him, admired him, looked up to him, and followed him.

Even if she ruthlessly said that old age and death would not get along, but as soon as he appeared, she Xiao Yuan was revealed, he said to stay overnight, she stayed, and his arm was bruised, so she helped him rub the medicine.

Even when he asked Xiao Dingshan how much Pete could help her, she deliberately dropped the book to relieve him, she knew that Xiao Dingshan would definitely say a number that he couldn't reach.

Even if Xue Mingyu was worth that, she didn't have the courage to think that he would do everything to get her.

In front of Xue Mingyu, she always thinks very low, very low.

Thinking of this, she was very annoyed, and angrily pulled the quilt up and covered her face.

Outside the door, Xue Mingyu was standing with a piece of cake, holding the doorknob with her hand, and was about to push it open, when she listened to her squirming inside.

She was also irritable when she thought about it.

Glancing at the cake, he pursed the corners of his lips and turned back to the kitchen.

Xiao Yuan slept quickly, Xu was tired, and after a while, he fell asleep, but Xue Mingyu really couldn't sleep.

He sat on the couch on the first floor, and there was no light in the room, and occasionally lightning from outside would illuminate the room, otherwise it would be dark inside.

The black one wouldn't even be easily aware of him sitting there.

Maybe he's still too slow, twelve years ago, he started to do things with a knife, but twelve years later, he is much slower.

As the years have settled, he has a lot of things to consider.

When there was movement upstairs, he looked sideways, and after a while, there was no sound again.

He sat back down and took a sip of water.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yuan had a nightmare, the nightmares in this life are not as real as this, Xiao Dingshan threatened her and forced her, she had to leave Xue Mingyu, and Xue Mingyu also said indifferently that he was going to marry his fiancée because she was pregnant with her own child.

Their faces alternated in front of her, one hideous, the other indifferent.

Her heart was beating hard, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and sat up.

Outside the window, it was pouring rain, and she sank hard, closed her eyes and breathed hard, raised her hand to touch her cheek, and was already in tears.

After sitting for a while, she didn't relieve her emotions, she felt uncomfortable, lifted the quilt and quickly got out of bed, put on it, and went downstairs barefoot.

Hearing the voice, Xue Mingyu had already turned around.

But she had something in her heart, and it was so dark that she didn't pay attention at all, and walked very lightly step by step, and when she reached the door, she bent down to put her shoes on, and looked back at the upstairs twice.

Xue Mingyu watched her retract her gaze, pushed open the door and left.

His heart thrust, and then he got up.

She didn't pay attention, she didn't hear, it was raining heavily, thundering and lightning were incessant, and she didn't seem to be afraid, she couldn't even hear the sound.

It's so uncomfortable.

If you stay any longer, I'm afraid you will suffocate.

Her body quickly got wet, and before she could get out of the yard, her hand was grabbed.

Xiao Yuan shrank her body, turned her head suddenly, didn't see the person clearly, she screamed hard, Xue Mingyu didn't hold an umbrella, and she was already soaked at this time.

Pulling hard, he dragged her into his arms, protected her head, and whispered: "It's so late, it's raining again, what are you running out for?" ”
