She leaned gently against the wide, transparent floor-to-ceiling window, and the misty and brilliant light reflected on her face through the glass.

The black silk hair with slightly curly ends, the outline of the face close to the melon seed face, the fair skin, the thin curved eyebrows, the slightly thin lips, the delicate facial features are like paintings, and a pair of squinted eyes are looking down on the city in a blur, the posture is cold and moving.

On the river in the distance, there is an endless stream of large and small cruise ships, lanterns, flower boats, and fireworks.

On the shore, buildings, shops, vehicles, pedestrians, everywhere is brightly lit, it seems that everywhere is so noisy and lively.

The star-like neon lights are reflected on the river, forming a bustling reflection, as if to prove to the world the charm of the city and its vigorous vitality.

Human beings are social animals, and even ascetics who live deep in the mountains still keep some small animals to accompany them. People are afraid of loneliness, so many people like to put themselves in the crowd, like to be in the city, the more noisy, the more prosperous, the more they feel that they are more closely related to others, more closely related to the world, so as to resist the boundless loneliness from the heart.

However, even though she is now in this huge harbor city, which is known as the "Pearl of the Orient" in the world, why does she still feel that she is so out of place with everything here?

It's not the first time she's been here, but this time it's a completely different mood.

"Jess, what are you thinking?"

Suddenly, a gentle-sounding male voice came from behind her, and asked her a question in English.

Her long eyelashes quivered slightly, and she took one last look at the light that seemed to symbolize prosperity, then turned to look into the room, shook her head slightly, and replied in the same English, "Nothing." ”

Her voice was a little cold, crisp and bright, with a bit of lazy softness.

The lights in the room were not bright, a little dim, but it was enough to make people see that it was a man in his thirties, wearing a expensive brand-name suit, combing bangs, his eyes were a little small, his appearance was acceptable, and his figure was not tall, but it had the taste of a mature man.

Hearing her answer, the man carefully looked at the expression on her face and made sure that she was okay, and then showed a slightly relieved expression on his face, and then, he raised his hand and lit the dim lamp next to the bed, and asked her with a smile: "You don't like too bright lights, and you often wake up late lately, so I took it upon myself to help you get this room with good lighting, so that even if you wake up at night, you shouldn't be able to fall asleep because the lights are too bright." If you don't like it, we'll change it. ”

"It's okay, it's okay here, thank you. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at the softly lit table lamp, the corners of her mouth twitched, she smiled slightly, and said to the man with some gratitude in her tone.

"That's good. ”

The man nodded, looking at her softly, "Don't think too much, isn't everything okay now?" The company is already on the right track, and the sunglasses designed by our Zhengda designer are also on the market, everything will be fine, isn't it?"

Hearing the man's words, the corners of her slightly pursed mouth rose again, but she didn't speak.

"Okay, let's celebrate. ”

The man lowered his head and took out a bottle of red wine from the bag he brought, then went to the bar in the room and took two goblets, walked to the dining table and raised the red wine and glass in his hand to her, and said with a smile: "Hey, friend over there, come with me." ”

She couldn't help but smile and slowly walked to the table with her arms crossed.

"Cheers!"

The man handed her a wine glass in one hand, picked up his own in the other, and gestured to her.

She looked at the smile on the man's face, and then looked down at the wine glass in her hand, the scarlet clear wine was still gently shaking in the glass, and she saw her face there, and also saw the faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

yes, it's going to be fine.

"Cheers. ”

She smiled and clinked glasses with the man, and then drank it all.

"Oh, by the way, the Mr. Mark you asked to help is really good, the problems we have encountered in the past few months have been solved by him in a few phone calls, but when I wanted to go to the door yesterday to thank him, he told me that he was actually asked to help, do you know the person who asked him to help?"

After taking a sip of red wine, the man seemed to remember something, and asked her with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.

"What are you talking about, I have to thank you for your help in Hong Kong in the past few months, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly. ”

Hearing the man's words, she first smiled and thanked her, and then, the corners of her mouth that had been smiling suddenly rose a little, "However, I do know the person who asked Mr. Mark to help." ”

"Who is it?" the man asked, looking curious.

"Actually, I haven't met him either, but he knows my family very well, my mother often says that he is the son of the family, and Crystal likes him very much, calling him Brother Sanmao. ”

She tilted her head and looked out the window, looking at the little stars twinkling in the night sky in the sky, and the smile on her face suddenly appeared to be warm and seemed to be something else, as if she had thought of something beautiful.

"Brother Sanmao?"

The man's eyebrows were raised, and the smile on his lips remained the same.

"The nickname my fans gave me was 'maomao', I am Da Mao, so Crystal is Ermao, and Crystal began to call him Sanmao after he knew it. She looked back and said with some embarrassment.

"Brother Sanmao? ”

The man smiled, then took another sip of the glass, his eyes full of a gentle smile, but the moment he raised the glass and drank it, his eyes ...... There seems to be a flash of inexplicable expression?

She smiled as well, but the smile on her face seemed to return to the slightly reserved smile she had before.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing, I have a friend whose wife is pregnant, and I want to give him some baby clothes as a congratulatory gift, but you know, I don't know anything about this kind of thing, you're a designer, you should know better than me. Can you help me with a consultation tomorrow?"

She was stunned for a moment, feeling that it shouldn't be good for her to go out now, but she just had the heart to refuse, but she saw that the man was looking at her expectantly, and the lips that had just opened slightly couldn't help but close, her brows furrowed slightly, and she hesitated.

"You've been stuck in the hotel for days, it's time to go out for a walk, how about you?"

Looking at the expectant and concerned eyes of the man in front of her, she hesitated for a while, and finally, nodded slowly.

……

Next.

"That's it. ”

The man got out of the car and opened the door for her, she put on sunglasses, held a wide scarf that she specially wore to wrap her neck and chin tightly, and then slowly got out of the car, smiled at the man's gentleman, and then raised her head to look at this high-end baby goods store.

The store is very good, but I don't know why, she looks at this store, but there is an inexplicable depression in her heart.

"Come in. ”

The man stood in the doorway, pulling the sliding glass door for her, she came to her senses, took a slight breath, and followed the man into the store.

"Hello, sir, miss, is there anything I can do to help you?"

As soon as I entered the door, a shopping guide in professional clothes walked up in small steps and asked in Mandarin.

The man glanced at her, smiled, and said in a strange Hong Kong-style Cantonese, "We're going to buy some clothes for babies." ”

"Oh, may I ask if it's a boy or a girl?" As soon as he heard that the guest was using Hong Kong dialect, the shopping guide immediately changed to Hong Kong-style Cantonese and asked.

"It's not born yet. The man glanced at her who seemed to be standing beside him with a dazed expression, and said to the shopping guide mysteriously with a smile on his face.

"Oh-"

The shopping guide followed his gaze, as if he understood something, smiled at her with a standard smile on his face, and then said to the man: "Then congratulations to the two of you, you come with me." ”

The smile on the man's face became even stronger when he heard this, but he didn't explain anything, just turned his head to look at her wearing a pair of big sunglasses and a thick scarf, and smiled.

"What's wrong? what were you just talking about?" she asked, looking at the smile on the man's face, a little confused.

"It's okay, but you're still dressed like this in the store, aren't you afraid of other people's jokes, aren't you hot?"

The man smiled and switched to English, and then took off the sunglasses on her face and the scarf around her neck.

She didn't react for a while, her eyes lit up, looking at the man with a faint smile of concern on his face, she lowered her head and was silent for a while, but still accepted his arrangement.

"Let's go, let's go see. ”

She nodded silently and followed the man to the baby clothes area.

"Sir, this area is full of clothes for both men and women, and if you want to buy a little for both men and women, I can take you there. ”

"It's okay, let's do it here, when it comes to picking clothes, she comes, she has the final say. ”

As he spoke, the man gave her a gentle look.

"Sir, it seems that you and your wife have a good relationship, and your wife is so beautiful, it is really enviable. ”

The shopping guide complimented on the side.

"She's not my wife yet, just talk to her in English later, don't mention the word wife, I'm afraid she'll be angry." ”

The man smiled, and then opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh......"

The shopping guide glanced at her in surprise, not knowing what she had in mind.

She turned her head to look at the two of them in confusion, her delicate face faintly reflected the soft light from the top of the store, looking so beautiful.

Looking at her beautiful appearance, the man squinted slightly, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little distracted, but then he smiled at her and said, "It's okay, I'll leave this matter to you, you can communicate with her directly in English." ”

"Oh...... Oh. ”

She nodded a little confusedly, and then lowered her head and began to carefully pick out her clothes, taking out her mobile phone and comparing them while picking them out, as if she had done her homework before coming, and asked the guide from time to time in a low voice.

The man couldn't help but smile when he saw her serious look, and then he seemed to notice something, and his eyes moved slightly, looking at a customer not far from them, and a strange light seemed to flash in his eyes......

"Ahh

"Are you alright? You didn't hurt anything, did you?"

The man stood in front of the counter, supporting her with an anxious expression on his face.

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

She waved her hand, leaned slightly on the man and took off her shoes, the heel of the high heels was broken, and then she couldn't help but smile helplessly: "It seems that I really don't fit high heels, flat shoes are my true love." ”

"Hehe," the man looked imperceptibly at the broken roots of the high heels, and then said to her with a little mocking smile on his face, "I see, our Miss Zheng's height of 220 makes it unbearable." ”

"Yikes!"

Her face immediately turned cold with pretended anger, and the man pretended not to see it, turned to the counter and began to ask for the price of the purchase.

Seeing that the man dared to pretend to be stupid, her face became cold on purpose, and the hand that passed through the man's arm because she was being held by was still holding a mobile phone, and directly "fiercely" slapped the man.

"How much is that? ”

"Poof. ”

The man's exaggerated expression immediately made her laugh, but after laughing for a moment, she suddenly frowned and turned her head to look.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh...... Oh, it's fine. ”

She finally looked at the transparent glass in the store behind her, and for some reason, she seemed to feel a palpitation in that moment......
