Shoda Miko and Wanlan soon hit it off, the two 'women' chattered about foreign cosmetics and fashionable makeup, but Chen Ji knew that this was just a façade, because Shoda Miko was good at chatting with any man or 'woman' who could become a regular customer of her business house in a very short time, she saw Wanlan's yearning for the Western world, so she talked a lot about Europe, almost to shape it into a paradise on earth, even George was amused by her exaggerated description, and it was difficult to expose the face of the 'woman'. ,nbsp;。

Wanlan was very interested in Shoda Miko's ability to run a shop, and asked questions related to it, so Shoda Miko proudly told her that she not only owned shops in China, but also owned shops in Japan and Singapore, except for one store in Japan that was donated by her father, and all the remaining shops were built by her from scratch, which is not only in Japan, but also in the world, there are few 'women' who can do it.

Wanlan was very envious of her achievements, so she asked her for secrets.

Shoda Miko eyebrows flew and danced: "Actually, it's very simple, just think of yourself as a person." ”

Wanlan was surprised: "I don't see myself as a monster. ”

Miko Shoda held up a finger and shook it: "You see yourself as a 'woman', but I'm talking about seeing yourself as a person." ”

Wanlan felt that this sentence had a deep meaning, and asked again, but Shoda Miko refused to explain it anymore, and only said: "Although this is very simple, it is also very difficult, especially for 'women' like you and me, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, after all, Japan used to be the same as China." However, since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese have been completely Westernized, and I have to say that some of the ideas of Westerners are very correct, Miss Lan, you have to believe that we are right. ”

Wanlan nodded confusedly and agreed: "Yes, we are right. ”

Chen Ji had been listening to their conversation on the side, and when he saw that their topic had come to an end, he immediately 'interjected': "I'm sorry, Zhengtian, can you take up a few minutes of your time and let me dance with Lan?" ”

Shoda Miko nodded in a sudden realization: "I almost forgot that this is your fiancée, it should be that I took up your time." ”

When Wanlan heard the word "fiancée" and knew that her identity had been exposed, red clouds immediately appeared on her face, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to look at Chen Ji's face directly, she just wanted to escape from him quickly, and even when he stopped his hand in front of her gentlemanly and invited her to dance together, he stammered and refused with the excuse of "male and female defense".

Chen Ji put a sincere smile on his face again, praised Wanlan for saying that it was not bad at all, and then withdrew his hand and stood aside. This is exactly what Wanlan is afraid of, in front of him, those 'women' shyness, 'desire' welcome and rejection are all useless, he seems to never understand her subtle politeness, always retreat as soon as she refuses, and then don't say a word.

Wanlan soon paid the price for her uncurrent politeness, and in this occasion, where almost all the Chinese gentlemen gathered, who could see a 'woman' as beautiful as her standing alone on the dance floor? In a matter of moments, a foreigner's hand stopped in front of her, and the owner of the hand, with a graceful smile, said something in a language she did not understand, but the meaning was nothing more than to praise her beauty, and ask her to dance with him.

Wanlan was immediately frightened, not hesitantly, but genuinely afraid, and began to regret that she had agreed to go to the ball with George out of curiosity. Where can a serious lady cuddle and dance with a strange man? Look at the men, women, and women on the dance floor, and even have the men's hands on their waists, which is something that only prostitutes and concubines can do.

She stole a glance at Chen Ji who was standing on the side, but saw that he was still standing on the side with an unfathomable smile, and he had no intention of coming forward to solve the siege, so she was a little angry and sad that she was going to marry such a person. The foreign gentleman's hand was still in front of her, and when he saw that she was still unmoving, his tone became a little more sincere, and he spoke at a long time.

Wan Lan fixed her mind, raised a smile on her lips, and said in Chinese: "I'm really sorry, I don't understand your words." ”

The foreigner also seemed to not understand Chinese, and his face 'revealed' an obvious look of regret, Chen Ji suddenly opened his mouth at this time, using the same language as the foreigner, saying something, the foreigner immediately 'revealed' a surprised expression, and turned into envy.

After the two politely 'exchanged' a few words, the gentleman turned to leave, Wanlan was curious about their conversation, but she was embarrassed to ask Chen Ji, she was still angry with him! But Chen Ji came over to her and said to her, "If you are still standing here, those gentlemen will come and invite you to dance one after another." ”

Wanlan glanced at him and said, "According to what you say, I should leave in time." ”

Her tone was a little unpolite, but Chen Ji was not annoyed at all, but deepened his smile: "It's okay, but I think the best policy should be for you to dance on the dance floor with me now." ”

Wanlan subconsciously wanted to refuse to refute him, but the moment she opened her mouth, she remembered Chen Ji Suri's habitual 'sex', so she had to hold back, put her hand in his hand, and slid onto the dance floor with him.

This kind of 'handsome' ballroom dance was taught to her by Anne at the beginning, but because Anne's dancing skills were not very good, Wanlan learned even worse, and she was so close to a man for the first time, she felt that the sweat and hair all over her body exploded, and she couldn't concentrate even more, and she took a wrong step under her feet, almost tripping over herself.

Chen Ji smiled above her head and said, "With Mr. Spencer as a teacher, I thought your 'social' ballroom dance would be very good." ”

Wanlan kept her head down, careful not to step on his feet, and when she heard this, she immediately frowned: "How can I dance like this with him." ”

Chen Ji laughed and said, "Why not? ”

Wanlan's face began to flush again, and she forced herself to calm down, and replied to him like a dignified and elegant lady or young lady: "A serious 'girl' must not have such intimate contact with a man. ”

"Then you're willing to dance with me because you and I are engaged?" Chen Ji said, took his hand away from Wanlan's waist, sent her out and turned around, pulled her back, lowered his head slightly, and whispered in her ear: "I'm very lucky, aunt." ”

Wanlan 'gasped' a breath of cold air, I don't know if it was because of his sudden intimate movements, or because of his ridiculous words, she subconsciously took a step back, and was dragged back by Chen Ji, the two were closer, and she heard his whisper sweeping over her ears: "You are facing me with the attitude of facing your parents and elders, aren't you?" A serious family, do you want to build up an image of a respectable wife in front of your future husband? ”

Wanlan's mind was broken by him, pursed his lips and stopped talking, Chen Ji waited for a while, and said: "You can do what you like and make friends you like, it's nothing, after all, you have to marry a businessman as a wife, in case I fail in business, maybe I need you to sell wine on the street to subsidize the family." ”

Wanlan laughed, she had faintly felt that Chen Ji was very different from the official children she had seen, but now that she had completely confirmed this speculation, her collapsed body gradually relaxed, and she didn't just look down at her feet: "If I just agreed to the gentleman who came to invite me to dance, would you be unhappy?" ”

Chen Ji said: "Of course, you are my fiancée, I haven't danced with you yet, how can he grab this first," he paused for a moment, and said: "However, you can agree to his invitation, this is your freedom, and you don't have to be disturbed by my affection." ”

Wanlan immediately said: "It's like you have the freedom to invite other 'women' to dance?" ”

Chen Ji laughed: "Yes, I also have this freedom. ”

Wanlan said: "If I were a serious and virtuous wife, I should agree with your freedom, but you just said that I can do what I like to do, and what I like to do is not allow you to have such freedom." ”

"You're right, Ah Lan," Chen Ji took her around and said, "But you also have to understand one thing, I have the freedom to voluntarily give up my freedom, so you don't have to ask me, I will give it up willingly, I will only dance with you in the future, I promise you." ”

Wanlan snorted and said: "If you can do something, you don't have to guarantee it, you can do it yourself, if you can't do it, you don't have to guarantee it, it's in vain." ”

"You're right," Chen Ji smiled and nodded, and then put it in her ear, "I feel like I've known you in my last life." ”

Wanlan now sincerely feels happy, and sincerely thanks Xie Daozhong's husband and 'wife' for the 'door' marriage set for her, although she believes that even if they have not been engaged in advance, they can still meet each other in the vast sea of people, but a decent aristocratic lady chooses her own marriage, it is always a little unpleasant to say, and the order of her parents and the combination of two feelings can be passed on as a good story. Thinking like this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Chen Ji again, "Did George tell you my identity?" ”

"I don't need him to tell him, I can see it myself," Chen Ji was also in a good mood, and lowered his head slightly to talk to her: "I found out the first time I saw you, you can't speak a child, and Ning Yin's attitude towards you is very respectful, but more importantly, the first time I saw you, I felt that you should be my wife." ”

"Then you still pretend to be with me, and call me aunt," Wanlan said angrily, and asked again: "The time Wanxin met you, did you believe that she was me?" ”

"You are willing to play this game with me, I naturally have to cooperate with you," Chen Ji's smile deepened: "Before I met with Miss Xin, Baili told me that he had met Miss Xie Jia, who was engaged to me, which was very different from the old-fashioned 'woman', and it could surprise me. ”

Wanlan couldn't help laughing, as if she had heard a very funny joke, she couldn't stop it, Chen Ji was infected by her, and she laughed too. So these two people stopped dancing, just on the dance floor watching each other laughing, leaning forward and back, unable to suppress, even the people on the entire dance floor stopped, inexplicably looked at each other, but slowly by their joyful atmosphere infected, laughing together, an American next to Chen Ji patted him on the shoulder, with a smile on his face and asked him what he was laughing at, Chen Ji only showed Wanlan to him, and said loudly: "Look, sir, look at this beautiful 'woman', she is my fiancée." ”
