She naturally remembers. Didn't you also say that Han Lie and Mr. Smith teamed up to squeeze each other's companies out of the market?
Mrs. Smith raised her chin in the direction Mrs. Liang had just left: "That is Mrs. Liang's husband, Liang Dawson, is a Chinese, that is, the owner of that company back then. β
Because of his preconceived ideas, Tong Qiangqiang frowned, and even lost his favor with Mrs. Liang.
Mrs. Smith understood her expression and smiled, "Don't be prejudiced against Mrs. Liang because of the fact that Mr. Liang once made a stumbling block for Han Lie. Some of Mr. Liang's methods in the business field are indeed a bit criticized, but at least one thing, he is a good husband who loves women. β
"Mrs. Liang is Mr. Liang's wife of the chaff. It is true that Mr. Liang is Chinese, but he actually smuggled to Australia in his early years, and Mrs. Liang accompanied him to boil slowly, and the couple survived until today. Mrs. Liang's health is not very good, especially after her only daughter was abducted by traffickers more than ten years ago. Despite this, Mr. Liang has never been outside and has never had any more children. β
Speaking of this, Mrs. Smith suddenly patted her forehead: "Look at me, what are you talking about so much about Mrs. Liang." β
"It's okay, I like to hear stories. Tong Qiangqiang was curious, "You and Mrs. Liang seem to have a good relationship?"
She thought that since Han Lie and Mr. Smith teamed up to squeeze Mr. Liang's company out of the market, even if the two families met not enemies, they should be indifferent to each other, right?
Mrs. Smith explained, "Eroux and I used to be college classmates. After graduating from university, they have their own things. I came to Australia after marrying ILL. Once accompanied him to a banquet, only to meet again. I met in a foreign country, and at that time, I still had business dealings with Mr. Liang, so I got close to Yirou. It's a pity ......"
"As you know, Mr. Liang's company had a problem that year. Mrs. Smith paused for a moment and sighed, "Their daughter happened to be lost during that time. So, although I know that I can't blame Han Lie and IL, I always feel sorry for Yirou, and I always feel that IL has added more suffering to the loss of their daughter to the couple. β
After that, the couple went to New Zealand. It's just that this time of year comes to the Hunter Valley. They also have a winery here. Very close to our winery. They were bought together at the time. Unexpectedly, it has now become a rare place for the two sides to meet. β
Tong Qiangqiang was stunned. No wonder Mrs. Liang invited Mrs. Smith to dinner tomorrow just now, and it turned out that they were all in the winery in the Hunter Valley. Mrs. Smith seemed to be reminded of the past, and her face was slightly melancholy.
Soon, Han Lie and Mr. Smith came, and the four of them returned to the winery together.
The Filipino maid had already prepared the materials for Mrs. Smith, just waiting for Mrs. Smith to cook herself. Mr. Smith also moved the barbecue grill to the sundeck. Get ready to make a difference. The couple didn't let Tong Qiangqiang and Han Lie help, and told them to just dress up and wait for a while.
Tong Qiangqiang knew that they were extremely particular about table manners, so he carefully picked out a bandeau high-waisted dress, and used the skirt to block the bulging belly from being obvious.
When I came out of the terrace, the table was already full of food. In addition to soft cheeses, Italian-style sun-dried tomatoes, fried squid salad and other snacks, Australian lobster, oysters, barramundi and other seafood are naturally indispensable. The Sydney-themed watercolour pattern table mat is refreshing.
Mrs. Smith took off her apron, still her cheongsam, which would never be the same, and Mr. Smith playfully tied a red bow tie tonight, and deliberately imitated the speech of the Xinjiang people in China when he brought the barbecue, which made people laugh, and naturally did not forget to praise the beauty of the two ladies.
Mrs. Smith glanced at the jade pendant around Tong Qiangqiang's neck: "It looks moist and exquisite, some years, right?"
"Well, I did wear it for many years. Tong Qiangqiang replied simply, raised his hand and touched it. She rarely wears low-necked clothes on weekdays, so the chance of being seen in this jade pendant is very rare.
Han Lie looked at her and suggested with a light smile: "Take the time to replace the red rope another day." β
Tong Qiangqiang knew that Han Lie was disgusted with the simplicity of the red rope, which was not worthy of the texture of the jade pendant, and it did not match the overall clothing. In fact, she had considered taking it off first when she was dressing, but since she had dropped it once in the hot spring hotel before, she didn't dare to leave it in an unfamiliar place easily.
Mr. Smith then said, "Is this what you Chinese call a family heirloom?"
His voice and tone were still full of the strong smell of kebabs, and several people were amused again for a moment.
Because of her status as a pregnant woman, Tong Qiangqiang can't eat whatever she wants like the other three, but Mrs. Smith has taken special care of her and tried to avoid the taboos of pregnant women. The appetizer was French foie gras with toast and apples, and a separate prawn cream lasagna was cooked for her as a main dish. Seafood can be eaten in moderation, but definitely not too much. It was as if everyone at the table could supervise her.
Intimately, Mrs. Smith also specially prepared low-alcohol sparkling wine for Tong Qiangqiang, which is slightly sweet, and it is no problem for pregnant women to drink a small amount. Otherwise, it's rare to come to the winery, and you can't let Tong Qiangqiang go home without tasting anything, right?
Mr. Smith jokingly debunked Mrs. Smith: "She made this sparkling wine herself. Usually no one drinks it. I've been hiding for several years, and finally there is tong, and she must sell it well. β
Mrs. Smith, who had always been dignified, blushed at the amusement and glared at Mr. Smith in disgust. It was probably a long time since he had seen her like this, but Mr. Smith was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly got up from the table, took Mrs. Smith's hand, bent down and kissed the back of her hand, and invited her gentlemanly: "Beautiful lady, can you dance with me with your face?"
Tong Qiangqiang immediately clapped his hands in a coax.
Probably because the atmosphere was so good tonight, Mrs. Smith did not hesitate to accept Mr. Smith's invitation, and began an elegant pas de deux with beautiful music.
Tong Qiangqiang stood on his chin, took a sip of wine, and was fascinated.
The more she got along, the more she understood the tacit harmony between Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the more envious she became. The trivialities of the years bring the couple not only the consumption of passion, but also the romance that does not change the original intention in the insipidity like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Women, women, many times what they ask for is not just a mutual affection?
But most of her life has been ruined in the hands of Zhong Wenhao.
Picking up the wine glass, he was about to continue drinking, when a hand next to him reached over and held it. Tong Qiangqiang tilted his head. Han Lie looked at her with shallow eyes, "I can only say a small amount." β
Tong Qiangqiang touched his stomach.
It's been four months, and it's getting round up a lot.
Tong Qiangqiang stared at the rose-red liquid in the cup. Swallowed saliva.
Han Lie simply took the wine glass away from her and replaced it with a glass of juice for her.
Tong Qiangqiang drank this thing on her first day in Sydney, a mixture of carrot juice, celery and pepper, which is said to be a popular drink in Sydney, but she really doesn't think it's dripping.
Tong Qiangqiang simply grabbed the cheese slices and ate them, looked back to the Smiths, and asked Han Lie, "Do you know why they don't have children?"
"There is a feeling in the world that no third party can interfere with. Including children. β
This is the first time Tong Qiangqiang has heard this statement. After a moment's thought, she approached Han Lie, lowered her voice and asked, "Before Mrs. Smith married Mr. Smith, she married someone else and had a daughter?"
Han Lie's eyes showed disdain: "Gossip." β
"Everyone has curiosity...... Tong Qiangqiang touched the tip of his nose and snorted Han Lie, "You must not know the inside story, so change the topic." β
A hint of insight flashed in Han Lie's eyes, and he tugged at the corners of his lips without a smile: "The agitation method is useless to me. β
Tong Qiangqiang: "......" She didn't stir up!
Mr. and Mrs. Smith finished dancing and returned to the table. Mrs. Smith's face flushed like a maiden. Mr. Smith thoughtfully refilled Mrs. Smith's glass.
Tong Qiangqiang, who was sitting opposite, instantly felt that he was being abused by them again.
At this time, the Filipino maid came over, holding a bottle of wine in her hand, and told Mrs. Smith: "Mrs. Liang asked someone to bring a bottle of wine, saying that she knew that you were entertaining guests tonight and chatting about your heart." β
Hearing this, Mr. Smith was stunned. Subconsciously glanced at Han Lie, and then asked Mrs. Smith, "Mr. and Mrs. Dason are also at the winery?"
Mrs. Smith nodded, "In the afternoon in the park, I met Ero. Sluggish, she reminded, "at this time of year, they will come, have you forgotten?"
Mr. Smith was silent, not knowing what he was considering.
It felt like the atmosphere was suddenly weird. Tong Qiangqiang glanced at Han Lie, he didn't seem to care, he didn't have a special expression, eating arugula. If it weren't for Mrs. Smith telling her that Liang Dawson was the person who had rectified Han Lie, just looking at Han Lie's attitude, she was afraid that she would mistakenly think that Han Lie didn't know the other party.
"Madame Liang invited us to dinner at her tomorrow. I'll be ready to return the favor in a moment. With that, Mrs. Smith asked the Filipino maid to bring the wine to the cellar.
Mr. Smith quickly regained his expression and asked Han Lie about his visit to the hotel, and the two started a discussion on the development of the hotel industry in various countries in Australia in recent years.
Tong Qiangqiang and Mrs. Smith were completely unable to interject. The two looked at each other and smiled, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes, Tong Qiangqiang simply asked Mrs. Smith for some Western-style meals.
But somehow, while the two men were chatting, Mr. Smith suddenly turned the topic to Han Lie and Tong Qiangqiang: "Actually, my secretary told me last night, Han, I am qualified to know, what is the relationship between the two of you?"
Mr. Smith's serious tone scared Tong Qiangqiang a little. However, when she caught a glimpse of the smile on Mrs. Smith's face, she understood that Mr. Smith was being a hypocrisy. Even so, Tong Qiangqiang still couldn't answer this question, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Han Lie.
Han Lie raised his eyebrows slightly: "Isn't the news all talking? β
It's one thing to watch the news, it's another to hear the person admit it with your own ears. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were stunned for a moment, and then Mr. Smith had a "already known" expression: "When you first brought Tong over, I could see that the relationship between you two was not a simple nephew and daughter-in-law. β
Tong Qiangqiang: "......"
I thought that Mr. Smith would ask the uncle how he hooked up with his nephew, but he excitedly praised the two of them for their courage. Encourage them not to care about the sunshine of the world since they love each other.
Tong Qiangqiang lowered his eyes, took advantage of Han Lie's lack of attention, took back his wine glass, and drank the remaining sparkling wine. When she put down the empty wine glass, the corner of Han Lie's eyes swept faintly.
At the end of dinner, end the evening with a group photo of the four of them.
After Tong Qiangqiang returned to the room, he vaguely felt that his feet hurt, and his calves and waist were also very sore. I suspect that I came to Sydney to have too much fun and walked too much. After rubbing herself a few times, it had no effect, and she went out to ask Mrs. Smith if she had any medicinal wine to rub outside, but happened to meet Han Lie returning to the room after taking a shower from the common bathroom.
Tong Qiangqiang paused at the door of his room, Han Lie wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were questioning: "Where are you going?"
"I ......" Before she could finish speaking, her toes cramped violently, Tong Qiangqiang couldn't help baring her teeth, Han Lie hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "What's wrong?
"No, no, no. Tong Qiangqiang waved his hand, limped back to the bed and sat down, and saw Han Lie actually coming in, staring at her feet condescendingly, guessing and asking, "Cramps?"
"Hmm......" Tong Qiangqiang replied in a sullen mood, holding his toes and pressing on the ground, trying to straighten his hamstrings. Han Lie squatted down and grabbed her feet.
Tong Qiangqiang was startled, and instinctively wanted to retract his feet, but Han Lie quickly clasped her ankles and reminded him undeniably: "Don't move." Otherwise, if I accidentally press the wrong acupuncture point, you're doomed. β
Tong Qiangqiang's body suddenly tightened and stiffened: "Is it so serious?"
Han Lie lifted his eyelids without being salty: "Do you want to try it?"
Tong Qiangqiang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.
Han Lie's fingers began to gently rub her toes, and after a while, Tong Qiangqiang felt that the cramping pain had disappeared. Han Lie's knuckles spontaneously moved to her calf muscles at this moment. Press it with the temperature of his palm.
The soreness was immediately well soothed, Tong Qiangqiang couldn't help but say "si", Han Lie stopped his movements in response, raised his eyes, and asked, "It's too much?"
"No, no, no. "Tong Qiangqiang burns red ear root - it's too comfortable......
Han Lie probably saw the clue from the expression of enjoyment that she didn't have time to put away, and showed a knowing smile.
Tong Qiang was embarrassed: "Little, uncle, my feet don't hurt anymore." No, don't bother. β
She tried to shrink her foot again, but she clearly felt that the force that Han Lie was holding on to her ankle did not loosen at all.
And Han Lie's movements continued, and he said coldly: "You seem to be starting to have edema." β
"Ahh
Han Liefeng said lightly: "Pregnant women's personal physical problems. Some people do start edema very early. β
Tong Qiangqiang touched his stomach a little melancholy. Is she really going to be swollen?
Immediately, she raised her eyebrows: "Have you learned about this?"
Tong Qiangqiang admitted that when she asked this, she was faintly expectant, expecting to hear from Han Lie that he showed that he cared about her and the child.
Han Lie tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Does this need to be specially understood to know?"
Tong Qiangqiang bit his lip and decided not to be sentimental anymore.
However, the picture in front of her couldn't help but make her thoughts float for a while-
The windows facing the vineyards, with their white curtains, carry the breeze into the house.
He crouched in front of her, his head bowed, his exposed arm moving with the movement of his hand to move the muscles of his forearm. The light came down from the top and fell on him, on his shoulder.
And she sat on the bed and looked at him so quietly.
Heaven and earth are quiet and peaceful.
They are like a loving couple. The pregnant wife enjoys the affection of her husband.
Tong Qiangqiang closed his eyes, feeling particularly pathetic. She seemed to suddenly understand why some people would say that to love someone is to be humble to the dust.
She thought she was really finished.
From Zhong Wenhao's pit, he fell into Han Lie's bigger pit.
At least for Zhong Wenhao, she clearly doesn't love it, so it doesn't matter if it's really sad.
finally found some self here in Han Lie, but he fell into the infatuation with this man.
is even unwilling to define the relationship between the two because of this. I'm afraid that some issues will be made clear, and she won't even have the chance to stay with him now.
A warm touch came from the big aatui.
Tong Qiangqiang's eyelids jumpedβit was Han Lie's fingers that crossed her knees.
She was still wearing the same dress she wore for dinner. She remembers that the length of the skirt was knee-length.
Tong Qiangqiang didn't dare to open his eyes. Her brain struggled into a jumble of yarn. Deep down in her heart, a sober consciousness was warning her. Tactile amplification of transmission to nerve endings.
He rouded, and the lactic acid buildup in his muscles was gone. The movements were obviously the same as when routing her toes and calves before, but every time his hand moved, Tong Qiangqiang's breathing became uncontrollably rapid, and his trance-like thoughts also wandered.
Suddenly, a pair of calloused palms covered him.
Tong Qiangqiang suddenly opened his eyes and was crashing into Han Lie's bottomless eyes.
He had somehow stood up and propped himself up on the bed with one hand, his whole figure covering her. The face is close at hand, and the kurtosis of the bridge of the nose is particularly perfect.
"Little, uncle. Tong Qiangqiang stumbled to call him, swallowed saliva, and felt the vibration brought by the action of swallowing saliva.
Tong Qiangqiang leaned back nervously, but Han Lie slowly leaned down with her, carrying the aroma of wine.
The next second, she saw his throat roll violently.
The next second, his lips fell.
The spark ignited the twister, and the fireworks burst into the sky. Tong Qiangqiang closed her eyes and clutched the sheet tightly with both hands, she had a premonition. This time it won't be just a kiss.
But she didn't resist at all. On the contrary, she was looking forward to it.
She unconsciously let go of her grip on the sheet and instead wrapped her arms around his neck in response to his enthusiasm.
Meaning aa chaos aa love aa fan aa between the aa, there was a very slight movement in the lower abdomen.
Tong Qiangqiang's body stiffened slightly, and he immediately pushed Han Lie away.
"What's wrong?" Han Lie's voice was hoarse.
Tong Qiangqiang's palm was covered on his lower abdomen, waiting quietly. But he didn't wait for the slight throbbing to come. Even so, she was very excited to tell Han Lie, "It's moving! I feel it! It's just moving!"
Han Lie stood beside him, frowning, staring at her with dark eyes as ink, he didn't answer, he breathed a little heavily, and his expression was dark.
And his upper body is not clothed, and his chest and abs are exposed.
Tong Qiangqiang was stunned, and then realized that they seemed to be doing something just now.
She looked down, and then realized that her skirt had been pulled down, but she hadn't had time to take it off yet. But some of the scenery is unobstructed.
After the momentary excitement subsided, seeing his appearance, Tong Qiangqiang did not throb at all and had no yuaa hope, some were just unbearable, wrapped his clothes in a panic, and went down to push Han Lie out of her room.
"Yes, I'm sorry...... Good night, uncle!"
"Bang-" She closed the door. With his back against the door panel, he wanted to slap himself twice.
but there was a knock at the door from without.
"Who?" Tong Qiangqiang's heart said, "What's wrong?"
Han Lie said in a calm voice, "My clothes are still inside. β
Tong Qiangqiang ran back to the bed in embarrassment, grabbed Han Lie's clothes, quickly opened a crack in the door, quickly threw it out, and then quickly closed the door, listening intently to the movement outside.
Seconds later, the sound of the door opening and closing came from next door. Tong Qiangqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, dragged his body, walked back to the bed, lay down in the quilt, covered his face, and quietly waited for the heat to dissipate.
Almost.
She and Han Lie were almost ......
She didn't understand what the fetal movement was trying to remind her of at that time.
There's no more ridiculous woman in the world, right? Obviously she didn't do anything with him, but she was pregnant with his child......
As a result, Tong Qiangqiang didn't sleep well at all.
When she woke up, she wished she could be like a snail in her shell forever.
You don't have to face the outside world.
You don't have to face Han Lie.
Lying quietly for a while, not hearing any movement from next door, Tong Qiangqiang decided to get up immediately, wash up and eat breakfast as fast as he could, and go out to hide in front of the inevitable bump into Han Lie.
It is a while to be able to hide for a while.
After wandering aimlessly along the vast vineyards for a while, I passed a small church.
Every building in the Hunter Valley seems to be related to wine, and even the door of this church has an oak barrel with something written on it, which Tong Qiangqiang can't read, because it's all chic conjoined English.
The bell on the top of the church struck seven o'clock in the morning, and a flock of white doves flapped their wings and flew overhead. Tong Qiangqiang tilted his head and stared for a moment, then raised his feet and walked into the church.
The stained glass window lattice, the early morning sun spills in, and the solemn atmosphere exudes serenity.
