Chapter 179: City
It's been a week.
It's been a week.
Receiving flowers every day.
Seeing the assistant leave, Ruan Wan looked at the bouquet of flowers that the other party had carefully placed on the table, and only felt a terrible headache. She raised her hand and pressed her temple, then took the flower, rummaged through it slightly, and unsurprisingly found a card inside, the content of which was still a few lines of timeless poems, and the handwriting was elegant, and every qiΔ seemed to be sincere but not overly eagerβit was all full of routines.
Just then, her phone rang.
She looked down and saw that the caller was none other than Tan Yuanzhou. She picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Are you free tonight?"
"......" Ruan Wan replied after a pause, "Yes." β
"How about a meal together?"
From the time she answered "yes", she had already expected Tan Yuanzhou's next sentence, so naturally she did not object, and after a few words, the matter was finalized. Tan Yuanzhou, who was extremely mature and steady in all aspects, did not take the opportunity to talk to her a few more words, but said goodbye to her very politely and hung up the phone.
Ruan Wan put down her mobile phone with one hand, and flicked the flowers in front of her with the other, and had to admit that for women, being pursued by such an excellent man is not a nasty thing, it's just ......
"If you're pursuing me right now, I'm sorry, I don't think I can give you the response you want. β
At the dinner table in the evening, Ruan Wan said such a sentence very bluntly. Maybe it's because of her personality, maybe it's a habit she developed abroad, Tan Yuanzhou is very calm about her feelings, so she didn't beat around the bush.
Tan Yuanzhou, who was cutting the steak in front of him, heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disappear, but he asked rhetorically: "Can I ask why?"
ββ¦β¦β
"As far as I know, you are not averse to me, and you have no lovers now. Tan Yuanzhou said mildly, "I can also see that you are a person who is serious about feelings-in this regard, we are very similar." So you rejected my mention of 'intercourse', and I can understand that I was being too reckless. A qiΔ should start with pursuit, right? Hmm, is my current method annoying to you?"
He asked sincerely, and said calmly, but Ruan Wan didn't know how to answer. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Do you like me?"
Tan Yuanzhou chuckled, his deep voice was like red wine that had been brewed for many years, very mellow. "No man will pursue a woman he doesn't like unless there is a special reason," he said. Our elders are friends, the family background is comparable, you are very beautiful, and you have a good personality...... Of course, I know none of this is what you want to hear. To be honest, in terms of feelings, I am nowhere near the point of 'love' for you. However, if a man who has only known each other for less than two weeks and has only met a few times opens his mouth and says that he loves you, I am afraid you will not believe it. β
When Ruan Wan heard this, she couldn't help but feel the same way.
"I think we're a good fit. Tan Yuanzhou continued, "At my age, it is difficult to be as passionate as when I was young, and what I want more now is a stable relationship and marriage." I think you're a great choice. If you're willing to give me a chance, I'll put my feelings on you, it may not be intense and hot from the beginning, but it will be more ......" He didn't seem to know how to describe it, so he gestured, "You know, it's like fireworks and red wine, the difference between fleeting and ethereal. β
Ruan Wan's gaze fell on the red wine glass in her hand.
Tan Yuanzhou's voice continued to sound-
"I have no bad hobbies, a steady income, and the occasional smoking and drinking, and if you hate it, I promise not to do these two things in front of you. I have no marriage history and no children, and now I don't have a girlfriend, and my previous girlfriends all broke up peacefully, and I don't have anything to do with trouble afterwards. If you can, I'd still like you'll give me a chance. β
Ruan Wan has to admit that when this kind of "uncle-type" man is full of charm, it is really a little uncontrollable. However, she was still firm on the issue of principle, and she muttered and replied: "I'm really sorry, at this stage, I really don't want to think about that. β
After saying this, she saw Tan Yuanzhou staring at her for a few seconds, and after that, he smiled and made a concession without any entanglement: "Okay, I understand." However, I still hope that you can give us a chance to get to know each other, even if we can't start a relationship, it's not bad to be friends. Right?"
"Of course. Ruan Wan nodded, putting aside other factors, Tan Yuanzhou is really a very personable man, if she is just a friend, she really has no objection.
"Well, we're on a consensus. Tan Yuanzhou smiled and raised his glass, "For friendship?"
Ruan Wan raised her glass cooperatively: "...... For the sake of friendship. β
Meanwhile.
In the restaurant, not far away.
"Wow, what a great conversation. β
At this table sat two young men, both of whom were equally good-looking, but had completely different styles. The young man in a white suit was smiling, and his peach blossom eyes were shining in anticipation, which was quite a bit of "I don't provoke everyone to get drunk". The young man opposite him was wearing a black suit, with a cold temperament, and the slightly raised corners of his eyes made him a little more aggressive out of thin air, and he was very "don't get close to people".
However, these two people with completely different auras sat at the same table, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
It was this young man in a white suit who spoke, and he said with a smile: "It looks very dramatic, maybe we will have a relationship in a few days." β
The man sitting across from him looked down and cut the food from the plate in front of him, as if he had not heard him at all, much to the latter's disappointment.
"I said, Boss Shen, do you really don't care or do you pretend not to care in front of me?"
The person who was called "Boss Shen" was naturally Shen Ziyu, and the person who called him "Boss Shen" was his friend Meng Tingfei, who was also the guy who once witnessed his "love tragedy".
That's how things happen in the world.
Meng Tingfei passed by the city, and Shen Ziyu, as a "landlord", of course wanted to do his best to be a landlord, and then he met her and Tan Yuanzhou. Don't wonder why he knew that the other party's name was Tan Yuanzhou, how could he, who continued to pay attention to her life, not know who was around her? Especially this person...... Still pursuing her.
Flowers for a week!
Invite her to eat at this kind of place!
Dress up so coquettish!
Hippie smiley!
What kind of fuss are you going to make!
If he hadn't remembered that Meng Tingfei was sitting in front of him, Shen would have almost pinched off the tableware in his hand. He directly ignored the fact that "Tan Yuanzhou is not fancy when he wears clothes, and he doesn't have a hippie smile", well, to put it simply, how he looks at the other party is not pleasing to the eye. At this moment, he sadly realized one thing, when she was dating Du Jinnian in the past, although he was bitter about her attachment to Du Jinnian, he could also understand it. And right now, although he has been thinking that "it doesn't matter if she is with other people, as long as she is happy", but if something is really going to happen, he is really not happy at all.
In layman's terms, he can't compete with Du Jinnian, and he can endure it, but which onion is this Tan Yuanzhou?
Shen Ziyu knew that his current thoughts were wrong, but he couldn't suppress it, in the final analysis, it was all jealousy. After all, how many men can watch their beloved woman jump into someone else's bowl and remain indifferent?
"Boss Shen, you won't just watch it like this, will you?" Seeing that Shen Ziyu didn't speak, Meng Tingfei asked again very stubbornly, "Although you are much calmer now than in the past, you are not such a character." β
Before the knives and forks in his hands let out a wail, Shen Ziyu let them go. He put down his knife and fork, raised his eyes to look at Meng Tingfei, and asked, "Otherwise?"
He was not only asking Meng Tingfei, but also himself.
Otherwise?
What else could he do?
He had already made up his mind not to take a step beyond Lei Chi, did he still use despicable means to force her to be single with him for the rest of his life? That was too shameful, he couldn't do it.
ββ¦β¦ Isn't she still having a boyfriend?" Meng Tingfei's whole person was not good, thinking that the brains of the person in front of him would not be broken, he didn't understand such a simple reason, "Now is the right time, if you don't do it again, the girl will have a new boyfriend again." The man looked quite old, and their relationship was probably going to get married. He shook his head and sighed, "You have thought about it, Ruan Wan is a long-term and stable person, once she makes up her mind to get married, she will not leave lightly." Wait for more commemoration and give birth to a child...... "At that time, even if Boss Shen regrets it, he really doesn't have any chance.
ββ¦β¦β
Meng Tingfei thought that his "instigation" had reached a new height, but what disappointed him was that from beginning to end, the person in front of him did not clearly express his attitude, as if he really didn't care about this matter at all. But, is it possible? Others may not have noticed, but he could see it very clearly, when Boss Shen saw Ruan Wan and another man appear here, his aura became super terrifying for a few seconds. It's all jealous and can be like that, and it's weird if you don't care, right?
Meng really didn't understand his partner's thinking at all, but this didn't prevent him from doing a divine assist. Seeing that Ruan Wan and the man were about to settle the bill and leave, he hurriedly raised his hand and beckoned the waiter: "Check out." Then dragged Shen Ziyu and chased him out.
Ruan Wan didn't know that there were two people following her, she just vaguely felt as if it was cold behind her, maybe the night breeze was too cold, right? As soon as she thought about it, she felt a warm thing fall on her. She looked sideways and saw that it was Tan Yuanzhou who took off his suit and put it on her shoulder.
"It was windy at night. Tan Yuanzhou smiled and said, "Be careful of catching a cold." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. β
"No, it's my fault after all. Tan Yuanzhou said in Ruan Wan's puzzled gaze, "If it weren't for meeting me, you wouldn't have changed into this very beautiful and slightly thin skirt, so I just did what I was supposed to do." β
This was said so humorously that Ruan Wan couldn't help but laugh.
Then she was overjoyed and sad.
When she went down the stairs, she suddenly felt that the soles of her feet were a little shaky, and then the whole person slipped, if Tan Yuanzhou hadn't reached out to support her in time, she would have fallen to the ground entirely.
"Be careful. Tan Yuanzhou asked, "What's wrong?"
ββ¦β¦ The heel is broken. Ruan Wan wanted to cry without tears, the shoes on her feet were obviously just bought this year?
β¦β¦
The other side.
Shen Ziyu looked at someone's claws that landed on her waist, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.
Meng Tingfei saw that the fire was coming, and he raised his foot very bravely and kicked on the buttocks of his own Shen boss, and directly kicked out the latter, who was defenseless because of his distraction-
Boss Shen, my brother can only help you get here!!!
So......
Ruan Wan, who had just heard Tan Yuanzhou say, "If you don't mind, help me", suddenly heard a stumbling footsteps behind her. As soon as she turned her head, she saw that some guy had magically appeared again when she was in a problem - every time, and it was not surprising at all.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at each other, neither of them spoke for the time being.
In the end, the first person to speak was Shen Ziyu, he looked at her obviously strange standing posture, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Wan immediately replied, "The heel is broken." β
When she said this, Tan Yuanzhou glanced sideways at her.
Ruan Wan didn't notice this, she was looking forward to it at the moment, because Shen Ziyu could help her solve all kinds of problems every time she appeared. So, she wondered if he could do it this time, and he wouldn't carry women's shoes with him?...... I always feel a little perverted.
But there doesn't seem to be any sense of disobedience.
β¦β¦ Wait a minute!
He wouldn't really carry that thing with him, would he?
