Chapter 48: The Marquis and the Couple
At this time, the woman in black also turned her body and looked at Xia Mohan, her facial features were delicate and exquisite, like the carving of an artist's ghostly brush, but there was a cold and alienated coldness, as if she was rejecting people from thousands of miles away; her eyes were clear and clear, but there was a faint sadness and indifference.
Zhao Huanting smiled and said, "This is the Marquise Mulan." Madam, this is Mr. Xia of the Xia Group and the president of the S City Chamber of Commerce, Xia Mohan. ”
Mulan glanced at Xia Mohan, focused her gaze on his face slightly under his eyes, nodded, and she said slowly in a low and slightly hoarse voice: "Mr. Xia, it's been a long time!"
Xia Mohan found that since she saw him, her body was not as relaxed as it had just been, and her hand holding the wine glass had protruding joints, clearly exerting too much force—she was restraining herself.
Xia Mohan stretched out his right hand, Mulan paused, handed out her fingers, and gently shook Xia Mohan's hand in mid-air. For some reason, Xia Mohan's hand increased his strength unfreely, and he squeezed the back of her black-gloved hand.
Mulan looked up at Xia Mohan, there was obviously a sense of sorrow in her frosty eyes, her snow-white skin was dyed with a layer of redness, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but Xia Mohan pinched it tightly.
Xia Mohan looked at Zhao Huanting with a smile: "Miss Zhao, I have some business projects and want to talk to the Marquise." ”
Zhao Huanting understood, smiled and left, and winked at Mulan before leaving.
"I don't know how to write the name of the Marquise?" The smile in Xia Mohan's eyes widened, and even a ripple rippled in his heart. This wonderful feeling makes people not drink and even want to indulge in it.
"The ancients had a famous saying: Whoever is at the entrance of the cave, the magnolia boat is magnolia. Mulan looked at Xia Mohan's clenched hand, and the reluctance on her face was very obvious.
"Good name, beautiful as a person. Xia Mohan said, unexpectedly raised Mulan's hand, lowered her head, and kissed the back of her hand shallowly.
Mulan's hand trembled, she forcibly suppressed the resistance and uneasiness in her heart, and pretended to smile: "Mr. Xia, when we meet for the first time, I don't know what projects I want to talk to you about." In addition, Mr. Xia's move was ungraceful. I don't know that I thought that the famous Mr. Xia was actually a nymphomaniac. ”
Xia Mohan heard the unkindness in Mulan's tone, but he didn't let go, he carefully examined Mulan from top to bottom, with a light smile on his face: "Although it is the first time we meet, I feel that you are familiar." ”
Mulan pulled out her hand vigorously, with an angry face: "Mr. Xia's cliché is afraid that it is outdated, more than ten years ago, it was just a matter of deceiving the little girl." With a net worth like yours, where can you talk to the opposite sex?"
Xia Mohan's eyes scanned Mulan's whole body like a laser, making her feel like fish on a chopping board, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
"You guessed it. It was indeed the first time in my life that I had a conversation like that. Xia Mohan's eyes refused to move away for a moment, "However, it is really because your demeanor, especially your back, and your eyes, are too similar to one of my old friends." ”
The tension on Mulan's face dissipated for a while, and she changed to a pretending relaxed look, shrugged her shoulders, and laughed: "Hehe, it's a routine again." I didn't expect Mr. Xia, who is rumored to be like an iceberg, to have such a side. Your words make me have to get to know you again, Mr. Xia. However, I'm curious, who is your old friend—friend, girlfriend?"
The smile on Xia Mohan's face instantly blew away, and his face suddenly showed loneliness and sadness, he looked into Mulan's eyes and said, "She is my wife." Unfortunately, she left me. ”
Mulan was in a trance, brushed her hair with her hands, and smiled brightly: "Among people like Mr. Xia, there is probably a lot of pressure to be your wife." Therefore, it is not something incomprehensible that she chose to leave. ”
Mulan's bright smile just now broke through the loneliness and coldness on her body, and instantly turned into flowers in spring, reminding Xia Mohan of Mu Wanchun who looked back at him in the kitchen and smiled, Xia Mohan's eyes were like nails, and he couldn't bear to leave those beautiful big eyes with the same charm and style.
"She died, in addition to her, our children, and my sister, who died in a car accident four years ago. Xia Mohan said as he carefully observed Mulan's reaction, and when he saw her hear his words, her face changed and changed, and her hand holding the wine glass trembled visibly.
"Well, really, it's a pity. Mulan felt short of breath and her heart beat faster, she glanced at the hall and was eager to leave, "I'm sorry Mr. Xia, I'm going to be out of company." ”
"It's a long time coming, please take care of it. Xia Mohan said, took a step back, and stretched out his hand to signal Mulan to walk away.
Xia Mohan kept looking at Mulan, walked away in a trance, and didn't take his eyes off.
"Boss, are you interested in this marquise?" Xia Xia looked into Xia Mohan's eyes and said meaningfully, "I heard that women abroad are relatively open, and many of them accept extramarital affairs......"
"In the summer, I want you to find out the most detailed information about their husband and wife in the fastest time, and even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors must be dug up for me!" Xia Mohan shook his wine glass, looked at Mulan's back, and drank it all.
"Boss, are you really sure, do you want to?" Summer hesitated, after all, such a thing is not just a bright one.
"You're thinking too much. No, you think less. "Shamohan handed the wine glass to Summer," I saw the shadow of late spring in her. In all these years, I have never met anyone who looks so much like her. ”
Summer took a breath and rubbed her eyes: "Boss, the Marquise is an ice beauty, and our lady is a gentle and sweet princess. The two of them are clearly two kinds of beauty with very different styles! Why didn't I notice that she had the shadow of a lady on her?"
Xia Mohan patted Summer on the back: "Trust my instincts. I look into her eyes like late spring. And this so-called marquise, she doesn't seem to dare to look me directly, her eyes have been dodging my gaze. Also, there are a few others that you don't need to know. ”
Although Mulan didn't look back, she knew that there was a blazing gaze behind her, which had been watching her. It made her feel like she was on her back, and her steps were not so steady and light.
Through the crowd of people in twos and threes, nodding or greeting people in different ways, Mulan finally found her husband, Marquis George.
She raised her glass to him, and after saying goodbye, he ran to her with a smile, then put his arm around her shoulders and stepped aside.
George is a mixed-race man with thick black hair, black and white eyes, a high nose bridge and three-dimensional and delicate facial features. Because George was too tall, Magnolia who was held in his arms looked even more weak and delicate.
They leaned on each other, and the two of them smiled like flowers, like ambiguous men and women who had just fallen in love, which attracted the attention of many people. Among them, there are Shamohan and Summer.
"Boss, it seems that they have a good relationship as husband and wife. "Summer was a little worried, and he even felt that his boss was purely ill-intentioned. But Summer gritted her teeth and acquiesced to this task.
Summer thought: If the Boss can get out of the past emotional wounds because of this woman, then Summer is also willing to do some such dirty things, after all, it has been four years, and Xia Mohan has lived like an old monk who has entered Zen because of Mu Wanchun's death. If this continues, how can the old lady hold her grandson?
"Do you think it's appropriate to make such a move on such an occasion?" Xia Mohan's eyes became gloomy, and his face became gloomy, I don't know why, he looked at that half-breed guy like this, and felt very contrived and disgusting.
Xia Mohan greeted him, stopped in front of the "loving" couple, and took the initiative to introduce himself.
Marquis George touched Xia Mohan's wine glass, and did not let go of his arm holding his wife, he smiled, showing a surprised expression: "Oh, Mr. Xia of the Xia Group, he has been looking up for a long time, and he is really a young talent." I thought Xia was always an old man, but I didn't expect to be so young, and he was still talented and beautiful!hahaha......"
When Mulan heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, laughed softly, and touched her husband with her arm: "You're naughty again, this is China, they don't like to joke with strangers casually." ”
Xia Mohan noticed that when Mulan and her husband were together, they were very relaxed, like a child with the protection of an adult, completely relaxed. She even looked at him with a doting smile. This made Xia Mohan very disgusted, he had never seen a couple show affection in public.
Marquis George shrugged his shoulders, apologized to Xia Mohan, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Xia is always single, I don't know what kind of girl Xia always likes? I have a cousin, beautiful and cute, very smart, and very understanding of life, I don't know if Xia is willing to let me be a matchmaker?"
Xia Mohan smiled back reluctantly: "The marquis has a heart." But right now, I don't have that idea yet. I'm curious, how did you get to know each other, and why did you live abroad for so many years, but you are so fluent in Chinese?"
George shrugged his shoulders: "Because my father is Chinese; and my wife is also Chinese." Speaking of which, it's just 'love the house and the black'. Because you have someone you love in your heart, you want to accept her, understand her, and even the country where she was born and raised, and the culture of this country...... It's a wonderful thing. I don't know, Mr. Xia, have you ever felt like this?"
Xia Mohan's eyes rolled on the face of the marquis, and he sighed, he said: "I have been growing up since I was a child, whether it is life, study, or career, it has been very smooth. Therefore, I used to have pearls but I didn't know it, and I didn't know how to cherish it. Later, it was lost, and it was too late to regret it. ”
George glanced at his wife and shrugged his shoulders, "It's a shame. I don't know, what is the pearl that Mr. Xia lost?"
Xia Mohan's eyes were fixed on Mulan: "My wife, and my children." ”
George, expressing his sympathy, left with his wife in his arms.
Xia Mohan's eyes kept watching the couple and walked away in the admiring eyes of everyone.
George started the car, looked at his wife who was leaning against the window in a daze, and chuckled softly.
"I used to think that Shamohan was a cold-blooded, cruel, and even very domineering person. But now I have changed my mind: I think he is a man of both talents and appearances, and he is very sharp. His eyes are like falcons, and I don't know how long it will take for the little white rabbit to be caught by him. ”
Mulan looked back and smiled: "When you meet an opponent of equal strength, you will have a great sense of accomplishment." It's just that I want to remind you not to go overboard and affect my plans to come back. ”
George's right hand reached over and placed it on Mulan's shoulder: "My lady, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you." ”
Mulan took George's hand away and put it on the steering wheel: "Drive well, I heard that the current traffic laws are getting stricter and stricter." ”
