The atmosphere during the tomb sweeping is inevitably heavy and sad. Despite being accompanied by Xiao Huai, Lin Li still cried bitterly when cleaning his parents' tombstones, and he couldn't even say "Dad, Mom, I'll bring my boyfriend to see you".

Xiao Huai saw her tears raining down, and couldn't help but realize that some memories and some pains could not be consumed by time in this life.

He understood why when Ji Yunchong appeared in front of her and said that she was going to amputate her leg, she nodded without hesitation and agreed to accompany the other party to Germany for treatment - the dead are gone, the living are like this, everything she did was to make up for irreparable regrets.

The words "unattainable" were like a sharp blade, poking and stabbing in her chest, blurring the flesh and blood of the whole heart.

Xiao Huai couldn't say sweet words, so he could only hug Lin Li, pat her back, and coax her softly: "Don't cry, I will be your family in the future." ”

He said this seriously, and it was a real promise. When she heard this, instead of laughing, she cried so much that she couldn't help herself.

Fortunately, after sweeping the tomb, the arrangement was to have dinner with Guan Yi, and the atmosphere suddenly warmed up. She asked Lin Pi when she was interested in Xiao Huai, curious about the details of Valentine's Day, and ridiculed Lin Li's behavior of "showing affection" on the day Xiao Huai stepped down, all in all, there were a lot of words.

Lin Fei never revealed to his friends that he had been separated from Xiao Huai, and smiled shyly with details, and simply said: "Guan Yi, Xiao Huai is now my boyfriend, and we are dating." ”

Every word is nonsense. But for Lin Li, who has repeatedly said no, refused to go on blind dates again and again, and doesn't like to have long-term eye contact with people, every word means that she has finally stepped out of the haze of the past and lived in the present.

Guan Yi was quite emotional.

Looking at Xiao Huai, in the face of this tall legend, her mood can be described as mixed.

The three of them are quite able to talk, and eating has become secondary. During the banquet, Xiao Huai answered the phone and left for a while, and Guan Yi asked Lin Li: "Is he good to you?" ”

"It's good."

"Don't blame me for being too careful. Although Xiao Huai stepped down, he is still the manager of the hedge fund. If he marries you, he will inevitably face the risk of a huge amount of assets being divided, which will affect his dominance of the fund. Men, when they fall in love, they are very enthusiastic, and once they are involved in talking about marriage, they immediately become rational and calm, and they are like two people. ”

Guan Yi said this, and his tone was a little embarrassed: "You can be with Xiao Huai, I am sincerely happy for you." However, you are really together, and I am worried that you will suffer in this relationship. ”

Lin Li pondered for a moment, picked up the juice on his right hand and took a sip, and his voice was much clearer when he spoke again: "I have a decent job, and my income is not low, according to the latest amendment law in Germany, even if I marry Xiao Huai and divorce him, I will not be able to divide how much of his personal property will not cause him marital pressure." As for the question of who suffers during the relationship......"

Lin Li stopped, turned his face sideways as if he was in a heart, and watched Xiao Huai end the call and push open the glass door and walk in.

It's eight o'clock in the evening, which is the busiest time for the cafeteria. There were a few young girls who were choosing food at the dining table, and when they saw that Xiao Huai was tall and handsome, they couldn't help but look back at him a few more times.

Lin Li waved his hand to Xiao Huai, and then said: "He even put down his work for me, if you care about who suffers, he will suffer a big loss." ”

Faced with such an answer, Guan Yi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Huai following his friend's line of sight. He stood in front of the freezer, tilting his head slightly, looking at the tubs of ice cream serving a variety of flavors.

His eyes wandered around and fell on "Cookie Chocolate". As soon as an ice cream ball was dug out, a chubby little boy with short hands and short legs came up with an empty bowl, looked at the ice cream with dark round eyes, and then looked at him, turned around and muttered: "Baba come quickly, I want to eat this." ”

Xiao Huai bent the corners of his lips and handed over the ice cream. The child ate and walked away happily.

Guan Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Li. Her affectionate and focused gaze, if she is seen by the man in her heart, her whole heart will turn into a pool of spring water.

Somehow, those "worries" in Guan Yi's heart faded and dispersed.

After the dinner party and returned to the old bungalow, Lin Li took a bath first and changed into pajamas.

Xiao Huai came out of the shower and didn't see anyone in the bedroom, but saw her staying in the study and concentrating on studying emergency medical information.

He looked at the clock on the wall, it was 22 o'clock, and knocked on the door of the study.

Lin Li heard the voice but didn't raise his head: "You sleep first, I'll watch for a while." ”

When she said this, she didn't realize that the knock on the door was a euphemistic "invitation", and she couldn't extricate herself from the esoteric and strange medical supplies.

Coramine, lobeline, isoproterenol......

She was so distracted that she didn't even realize that Xiao Huai was walking around behind her in the study, and she kept her full attention on studying until 23:40.

Finally, she was tired.

After moving her stiff cervical spine a few times and turning a few more pages, she suddenly felt a cool breeze on her back, and she couldn't read the book in her hand anymore, and when she glanced back, her eyes met Xiao Huai.

There was only one desk lamp lit in the study, and he stood in a dimly lit place, his expression was blurred, his voice was low and hoarse, and the only thing that remained unchanged was that his attitude was still extremely patient: "Rest?" ”

She wanted to say "no", but after thinking that maybe she wouldn't sleep and he would stay with her, she changed her tone and said, "Well, let's rest." ”

She closed the book, turned off the light and stood up, and almost at the same time he stepped over as if he had made up his mind, picked him up sideways, and carried him back to the room.

She watched as he pulled open the bedside table drawer and took out the last small square from the empty box.

She looked away, shrunk under the covers, and quietly hid her ears, which were red and almost dripping blood...... She came several times last night, and she thought he wouldn't be interested today, but she didn't expect it to be ......

At this time, he lifted the quilt and leaned over, pulling her nightdress up with one hand and untying the bathrobe at his waist with the other.

……

When it was over, he carried her to the bathroom and did a simple wash.

Lin Li was very tired, lying on the bed and falling asleep in a daze, when he suddenly heard Xiao Huai ask, "Would you like to take the time to go to Austria?" I want you to meet my family. ”

Lin Li woke up instantly.

Looking at each other, she opened her mouth and spit out a sentence for a while: "Do you have to do it now?" ”

Afraid that he would be too worried, she explained: "I mean, we haven't been together for long, and we are about to start a long-distance relationship, and if you choose to open up to your family or friends at this time, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of voices blocking me from being with you." ”

Lin Li was not unaware of Guan Yi's worries. Just like after she was with Ji Yunchong at the beginning, many people were not optimistic, not to mention that Ji Yunchong's relatives were very critical of her, and Ji's mother tried her best to separate the two.

Xiao Huai didn't insist on his own thoughts, but said: "What do you mean to me, it seems that you will leave me because of a lot of opposition?" ”

Lin Li sighed: "I like you, how can I be willing to leave you?" However, it is also an indisputable fact that I am relatively mediocre, please give me a little more time, let me work harder, and one day you are a famous investment banker, I am a famous authoritative doctor in the medical field, and then we make our feelings public, maybe the voice of blessing will overshadow the voice of doubt. ”

These words are the truest thoughts in Lin Li's heart.

She is not willing to blindly immerse herself in the world of love, but can't wait to hope that she will grow up and achieve enough achievements in the professional field as soon as possible to match Xiao Huai, so that he can become a man of "Lin Fei", rather than turning "Lin Fei" into his woman.

She wanted him to be happy and she wanted him to be proud to have her.

This is a sudden enlightenment, but also a kind of life ideal, if you use four words to summarize, it is a side by side.

Xiao Huai didn't mean to pour cold water, but pointed out a fact: "If you want to become an authoritative doctor, it's not something that can be achieved in a year or two." ”

"I understand that before becoming an authoritative doctor, I plan to become an associate chief doctor sooner rather than later. I was thinking about the topic of my first academic paper, and if the paper passed, it would be a big step closer to the goal of being an associate chief doctor. ”

After Lin Li finished speaking, he drilled into Xiao Huai's arms, raised his head and looked at him with a blank eye, "My dear, the road of authoritative doctors is a bit long, are you willing to wait for me?" Will you give up on me? ”

Facing her expectant and slightly uneasy gaze, Xiao Huai fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't want to keep her by his side, and it's not that he doesn't want to get engaged, get married, and have children as soon as ordinary people do, but all plans are his personal ideals, not her pursuits.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, rubbing his fingertips on the delicate and smooth skin for a while, and hugged her into his arms: "In our relationship, you are 'Lin Li' first, and then my □□ person. Don't worry, do what you think you want to do, and no matter how many years it will take in the future to become a premier doctor, I will be with you. ”

Lin Li was very moved, the tip of his nose was sour and almost cried, so he had to purse his lips, revealing a cute and cute appearance: "I don't want many years, I want it as soon as possible, as soon as possible." ”

Yes, life is too short, and I can't wait to become famous overnight and stay with him until the end of the day.

*

At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Li fell asleep.

Xiao Huai closed his eyes but didn't feel sleepy, I don't know how long it took, he opened his eyes, got up and got out of bed.

He went to the garden terrace on the first floor, took his cell phone out of the pocket of his dressing gown, and dialed his assistant Leo.

At this point in time, Leo usually hasn't slept yet, and the phone is answered quickly.

Xiao Huai sat in the hanging chair, playing with the pothos leaves stretching from the end of the flower stand, and said lightly: "Please help me cancel the two tickets to Austria." ”

Leo on the other end of the phone said "yes" and said, "Boss, I hope you will return to work as soon as possible......

"The same answer, not considered for the time being." After Xiao Huai finished speaking, he changed his words, "I will explain the matter I asked you to investigate, is there any progress?" ”

Xiao Huai refers to the fact that when the A-share market fell sharply some time ago, Dongsheng Group's shares rose sharply against the trend.

At that time, close to the 1,000-share limit, Dongsheng Group's shares rose for several trading days, attracting many institutions and retail investors to inject capital. Xiao Huai studied the fluctuation trend of Dongsheng's stock price and found that the stock price often fluctuated in a wedge-shaped area, and there was a suspicion of manipulating the stock price and even washing the market.

"I've found two accounts that hold more than 5% of Dongsheng's shares. According to Chinese law, more than 5% of the shares should be publicized, but the two hidden accounts are apparently not publicized. Should I immediately report to the securities regulatory authority that Dongsheng Group is suspected of using illegal means to obtain a large amount of funds? ”

Xiao Huai's gaze withdrew from the pothos leaves, and looked out the window at the rich night: "This kind of account can transfer positions at any time, and it is very hidden and difficult to obtain evidence. ”

After being silent for a while, he said: "Boss, as you foresaw, in the past half a month, Dongsheng's stock has fallen one after another, and the stock price of Dongsheng's concerted action has also seen similar wedge fluctuations. ”

Xiao Huai didn't speak for a long time.

In the history of Chinese securities, it is not uncommon for a number of listed companies to collectively sit in black houses - they form a complex asset relationship, forming a chain effect of both prosperity and loss.

Xiao Huai spoke: "We underestimated Ji Yunchong, he is thoughtful and good at building momentum. The battle for mergers and acquisitions was won, and Dongsheng made huge profits; On the surface, it seems that Dongsheng's stock price fell due to bad news, but in fact, he was secretly shuffling, forcing the shareholders who held positions at a high level some time ago to be shocked out of the stock trading market because of their lack of determination, reducing the risk of sitting in the bank. ”

Thinking that it only took Ji Yunchong two years to get Dongsheng Group out of the trough and become the youngest chairman ever, Xiao Huai's eyes revealed a trace of complex and indistinguishable emotions, and he raised his hand to press his temple.

"Leo, please make an appointment for me, I want to meet Ji Yunchong tomorrow." 166 Reading Network
