was a little panicked by Ran Xixi, and Lu Qinghuan's heart was haunted by a kind of uneasiness that he had not experienced in the past ten years.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, even when he went to bid, he didn't seem to be so embarrassed.

Handing her the phone, Lu Qinghuan proposed in a dumb voice: "Blocking is more effective than refusing to answer." Don't you know, if you cut off a man's phone, it will cause the other party to be competitive, call again and again, and see your bottom line. ”

Ran Xixi didn't pick up the phone, just stared at his somewhat iron-clad face, it was obvious that Lu Qinghuan had just been angry with Zhan Xingchuan.

"I'll try, try to be with you. But I hope we can slow down and start with closer friends, okay?"

She bit her lip, as if it had taken a lot of effort to finally say it.

It took a few seconds for Lu Qinghuan to digest the meaning of what Ran Xixi said, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

At that moment, he realized that what is called "happiness comes too suddenly" can really make people feel dizzy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, thinking that he didn't quite agree with his words, Ran Xixi hesitated for a few seconds and continued: "If I can continue to stay in Zhonghai for a while, then during this time, we can get along more. However, if I have to go back to Paris in a while, there will probably be a lot less contact, and I'm afraid you will not get used to it, or think that I am cheating on you."

Long-distance relationships are extremely hard, let alone long-distance relationships, she can't imagine that kind of life. Although everyone is not very young, the gap in time and space will still make people feel the emotions of gains and losses, and men and women are no exception.

Lu Qinghuan interrupted her: "Okay, just follow what you said, let's slow down the pace." Moreover, the sentence I said, you have the right to stop at any time, and it is always valid. ”

Ran Xixi looked at him and stopped talking.

He quickly understood that she was worried that their romance would be covered by the paparazzi like the last time.

"I swear, I'll protect you."

Lu Qinghuan assured her very seriously: "If it really needs to be made public, then I will not resist." In fact, I wish I could hold your hand and let everyone know that I can take care of you for the rest of your life. ”

She imagined that scene for a moment, and for some reason, she was still a little scared.

However, as long as she and Lu Qinghuan are together, Zhan Xingchuan will definitely throw a mouse trap and dare not harass herself as she did before. Ran Xixi admitted that she actually had a little selfishness, and she used Lu Qinghuan's identity and status to protect herself, because she really didn't want to continue to get involved with Zhan Xingchuan, no matter what the reason and reason.

It's just that, in this way, she feels a little sorry for Lu Qinghuan.

When people are young, it is always easy to give a true heart, and after being hurt, they will never love the next person wholeheartedly, no matter how the next person is to you. On the surface, this is to protect yourself, but in fact, it is just to transfer the harm done to you by the previous person to the innocent person.

I understand a lot of truths, but I still can't live my own life, which is the true portrayal of modern people.

"I don't want to, I, I don't want to stay in Zhonghai for too long, if I can, I hope I can still stay in Paris in the future, but don't worry, I won't let you run around"

Ran Xixi knows how hard it is to fly everywhere, and it is naturally impossible for Lu Qinghuan to take time out of her busy schedule and fly abroad to accompany her. If conditions permit, she can go back to Zhonghai and have a small reunion with him, of course, these are all later words.

"That's my pleasure."

Lu Qinghuan took the back of her hand and gave a shallow kiss.

His lips were soft and warm, his movements were as light as a feather, Ran Xixi could clearly feel it, at this moment, she was so cherished by him, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.

She kept persuading herself to try to fall in love with him and not to let him down.

Lu Qinghuan was very restrained, and soon let go of her hand, started the car again, and sent her home.

Although, as a normal man, he can't wait to move to his apartment from tonight onwards. But he also knew very well that if he pushed her too hard, it would definitely backfire.

So, he didn't say anything, followed the route, and sent her back.

Suddenly, a dense rain fell outside the window.

Ran Xixi propped his hand on the car window, looked out the window, and sighed softly: "Why don't I remember that there is so much rain in Zhonghai,"

A few days ago, it was a heavy rainstorm, and now there was a light rain, dripping, although the rain was thin, but it was very dense, and she noticed that the ground outside was soon wet, which showed that the rain was actually menacing.

"No way, I heard that you agreed to be my girlfriend, and God is crying with joy."

Lu Qinghuan pursed his lips slightly, looking in a good mood.

As he spoke, the rain tended to get heavier again, so he immediately pressed the windshield wiper to slow down the car to avoid the road being too slippery and causing an accident.

Fortunately, it is not very far from her residence, and it will take about ten minutes to get there.

Along the way, Ran Xixi was hesitating whether to let Lu Qinghuan stay and wait for the rain to stop before leaving. But she thought about it, if this rain not only didn't stop, but it was getting heavier and heavier like last week, wouldn't he have to stay overnight, which was inappropriate, not to mention, Qiao Sijie had already returned to China, if he knew that he had stayed in Zhanxingchuan before, and now he was staying in Lu Qinghuan

The woman is really a troublesome creature, her mind is turning over and over, and for a moment an idea, and she has not come up with an answer, it has arrived.

"Wait a minute, don't get wet, I have an umbrella in the trunk, I'll go down and get an umbrella first, and then you get out of the car."

There is always an umbrella in the car no matter what the weather, and today came in handy.

He pushed open the door on his side, got out of the car in the rain, opened the trunk, took out the umbrella, and quickly propped it up, and then went around to the side of the co-pilot to pick up Ran Xixi and get out of the car.

"Watch out for your step, there's a small puddle here."

Lu Qinghuan held an umbrella in one hand and helped Ran Xixi with the other, she carefully stepped over the puddle of water, and the whole person threw herself into his arms, and he naturally hugged her and refused to let go of his hand immediately.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while, just for a while. Then I'll go back to the office and have some things to take care of. ”

How could he not see that her celestial and human battles were fighting along the way, but he didn't pierce it, this cute little woman may still be worried that she would find a chance to stay overnight, and he wouldn't be so elf-in-the-brain. What's more, he had already promised her that everything would come slowly, and he would not sleep with her at all if she was unwilling. Otherwise, they would have done everything they should have done last night, so why wait until now.

"Uh-huh, I'm going to go to the company,"

Ran Xixi responded, tried to put her cheek against his chest, felt his body temperature and heartbeat, and said with some surprise.

It looks like her boyfriend might be a workaholic.

"Yes, make good money, and then retire as soon as possible and travel the world with you."

Lu Qinghuan wasn't joking, he really thought so.

He didn't want to work until he was sixty or seventy years old, and he would never give up. For a period of time, Lu Qinghuan has been thinking that in the future, he must exercise Lu Qingyu's ability to do business, let him stand on his own as soon as possible, and no matter how close the two brothers are, they must also separate their families and live separately.

"You're only in your early thirties, and you're thinking about retirement, and you're too unmotivated."

Ran Xixi pouted with a smile, raised his head, and whispered in his ear: "Drive carefully on the road, don't go too fast." When you get to the company, tell me. ”

Lu Qinghuan pretended to show a disgusted expression: "I've started nagging so soon, it looks like I'm going to reconsider." ”

She knew he was joking, but she couldn't help but twist his arm twice as punishment for his nonsense.

There was a stream of rain falling from the umbrella, the rain seemed to be heavier than before, and the wind was rising, the temperature was lowering, although he was held in his arms by Lu Qinghuan, Ran Xixi was still so cold that he shivered twice, and hurriedly grabbed the windbreaker on his body.

"You have an umbrella, go back."

Lu Qinghuan glanced at the small bungalow behind him, the environment here was not bad, he would come over another day, and he would not be in a hurry.

Before Ran Xixi could speak, a rapid sound of traffic came from the small road, and the tires grazed the rain-soaked road, splashing a large area of water. Luckily, there aren't many pedestrians here, otherwise you'd be splashed with dirty water from the car driving without slowing down.

The two of them looked at each other in unison.

Almost at the same time, they saw that the person driving the car was Zhan Xingchuan, and Zhan Xingchuan also saw Ran Xixi who was hugging Lu Qinghuan at the same time.

For a moment, he really wanted to step on the accelerator and hit the car directly.

However, in the end, Zhan Xingchuan still held back, he stepped on the brakes, and stopped the car next to Lu Qinghuan's car. Naturally, when I parked, I brought up a large patch of rain mixed with mud, splashing half of the white car of Lu Qinghuan dirty.

Seeing this scene, Ran Xixi wanted to have a seizure, she wanted to rush up, but she was held down by Lu Qinghuan.

"It's okay, I was supposed to wash the car too."

He said softly, although he was persuading her, but there was also a flash of anger in his eyes. He thinks he is a decent man, and he rarely takes the initiative to embarrass people, but it doesn't mean that he is a coward or an angry bag.

Zhan Xingchuan got out of the car directly and did not have an umbrella.

The rain poured on his head and body at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and it drenched him all over.
