Fingertips gently pinch the pillar of the glass, and the chilled champagne gently rotates in the wall of the glass, driving a few traces of light to flow, which is very beautiful.

I lowered my eyes and said indifferently, "I don't understand." ”

Zosi put the cup down in his hand and didn't ask, just looked at me silently.

"I don't understand," I looked up at him, scrutinizing my eyes, "why you and him, who were already incompatible, can now be so easily relieved and become partners." ”

He actually smiled softly.

"Liuori, you have also been the president of a group, and you have experienced the fight of the shopping mall, so you will not know that in the shopping mall, there is never an eternal enemy. What's more......" he said leisurely: "Once the two families of Si and Furkmins cooperate, it is equivalent to opening up a vast North American market for Si Shi, of course, our entry into the European market can also become smooth, such a win-win cooperation, why not?" ”

I smiled coldly, "But I don't think he'll do anything for the sake of profit, just like you." ”

"Are you surprised?" Instead of being annoyed, he smiled more and more, "I'm not surprised, from the moment I sent someone to ask him for cooperation, I knew he would agree." ”

I looked straight at him with an inquiring look.

He didn't go around in circles, met my eyes, and said word by word: "Because of you, keep weaving." ”

The words fell, and his eyes were instantly dyed with the color of champagne, and the pale gold swayed under his eyes, "I know, he can't resist you at all......" He frowned slightly, and his words seemed to sigh and ask, "Why do you say, there will always be so many people who can't resist you, my ...... of Ruori"

I looked at him for a moment, smiling slightly. "Why, then, do you say, that your world is always like this, always full of sinister and calculating?" ”

A smile lingered at the corner of his lips, and the temperature in his eyes gradually cooled. However, I am not afraid, a person whose freedom is lost, what else is really terrible?

I looked him in the eye, and my eyes were unobscured.

It's you, you must let me and Si Tianzhe see each other often, but I can't love and hate it, only this kind of mutual torture can make you happy, right?

This psychological change. The state of the devil.

Not wanting to look at him again, I got up and walked to the window, looking down at the Thames in the starlit light.

I don't know how many moments have passed. But I suddenly felt a slightly cool temperature on the back of my neck, whose fingertips stroked my sideburns.

My heart was beating faster, and I hurriedly dodged, but was stopped by an arm that crossed my waist at the right time.

"You let go of me......" I struggled violently, but he held me down.

The next moment, he leaned up behind me and kissed my hair on my neck and shoulders. The slowly lingering breath was warm, but it made my whole body chill for no reason.

I know I can't break free. I had no choice but to calm down and stand still, the heavens and the earth are his, I can escape for a while, but I can't escape for a lifetime.

"Ruori ......" a small kiss was sprinkled on his hair, and his voice seemed to float from afar, "Shall we get married?" ”

I sneered in my heart. You still need to ask me?

Like the engagement, have you really followed my wishes? I've long since lost the right to refuse, so why bother asking?

As if to see through what was in my mind, he looked up, the pure glass window reflecting the light. The two of them are reflected very clearly.

"I mean, we get married and live together, and I'll do my best to pamper you and give you everything you want, and you're ......" he hugged me tighter, and the light in his eyes was reflected in the glass window, with the utmost seriousness, "Fall in love with me again, okay?" ”

"I'm sorry." I tugged at the corners of my mouth, "You can't command my heart, not even myself, there's no way to command it to fall in love with." ”

"Can't we just be like we used to-"

"Don't talk about the past." Taking advantage of his momentary relaxation, I escaped from his restraint and took two steps back, "There is no feeling that cannot be faded and changed, please accept the reality." ”

Looking at me, his undulating complexion suddenly calmed down, replaced by a smile on the corner of his lips, with a hellish grim suspicion, "There is no emotion that cannot disappear and change, well said, Liuori, I have patience, wait for you to forget him......" He took a step closer to me, and the cold around him gathered more and more, "No matter a year or ten years, even if you kill him to remove this person from your heart, I am willing." ”

"How dare you mess around—" I startled and glared at him.

"What, scared?" He raised his eyebrows to look at me, and there was a loose elegance in his gloom.

Crazy and unreasonable.

I should have known that this person, and what I said to him would be superfluous.

Not wanting to linger on the devil's face for a moment, I walked out of the restaurant.

Early the next morning, I couldn't wait to find Ye Ningchen.

I couldn't wait for a moment to search, observe, and analyze the person behind the scenes in a haystack like a needle in a haystack throughout the Furkmings family business, and I couldn't afford to wait for such a long time.

Yes, even though I know that Zoxi doesn't like me to meet Ye Ningchen, such a blatant search is likely to arouse Zoxi's suspicions, and then affect the entire plan, I can't care so much.

Not surprised by my arrival, Ye Ningchen led me to a small reception room, "Please sit down, miss, here we can talk freely, absolutely safe." ”

"Tell me who that person is." I'm straight to the point and straight to the point.

"Miss has already gone to work in the family business?" He sat down elegantly and did not answer rhetorical questions.

"Yes. However, I don't have the patience to look for a needle in a haystack. ”

"So, will Miss believe what I say?" He looked at me calmly, his gaze straight down, "I said who it was, and Miss would have identified who it was?" Do you still believe me? ”

It's not what he always calls me, he uses "you".

The last sentence was more than just a simple question, and he said it without any subtlety, and I understood that he was asking me for absolute trust.

"No, it won't." I said these two words honestly, and saw that his eyes darkened.

I continued, "After all this incident, I can't trust you completely, and even if I say yes, I'm lying to you." However, I don't think you're going to joke about it, and if you don't want to tell the truth, you won't tell me that the real culprit is someone else in the first place, so," I said, staring at me and speaking firmly, "I want you to show evidence." ”

He smiled softly, not in a hurry to pick me up, "Not necessarily, maybe I'm telling you this just to get rid of someone by Miss Roori's hand - after all, any possibility has to be thought of, isn't it?" ”

Another temptation, but this time, I replied directly, "You won't." ”

He looked at me with a slightly stunned and inquiring look in his eyes, as if he wanted to further confirm the truth of the sentence in my eyes.

I smiled lightly, "With what I know about you, Ye Ningchen, even if you really want to get rid of someone, you won't bother to use this method." ”

Now his astonishment was even heavier, "You're, so sure?" ”

Laughing at his question, "So, can you give me your proof?" ”

He smiled to himself, "Miss Ruori, you are really confident and powerful, no wonder ......"

With a meaningful pause, I looked at him and said nothing.

"Then, please come with me somewhere." He left this sentence and got up and walked out of the room first.

Without hesitation, I got up and followed.

Driving to a monastery on the outskirts of London, Ye Ningchen and I walked slowly across the neatly cut lawn towards the lead-gray buildings in the distance.

"This was once a monastery built in the 18th century," Ye Ningchen told me as he walked, "After being abandoned, it has been rebuilt, and now it has become an orphanage, and the director is called Madame Green......

As I walked, I saw a few children frolicking and running over the lawn.

"It is said to be an orphanage, but it can only be counted as a private orphanage, and it is said that for some reason in the past, the London Municipal Government. The government has not recognized its legitimacy, and therefore the orphanage has not been able to enjoy political benefits. Any support from the government, all these years, can only be maintained by Mrs. Green's hard work to maintain the livelihood of the entire orphanage. ”

"No wonder ......" As I approached, the bricks and walls of the monastery became clear, and I looked at some of the dilapidated houses nearby, some of which had even collapsed, presumably for a long time without repair. The other slightly intact brick walls, after years of wind and rain, have long shown mottled and antique traces.

"Yes." Ye Ningchen understood what I had not finished talking about, and nodded, "Not only that, but the orphanage's funds have always been very tight, and Mrs. Green can only barely maintain it by relying on her meager pension and the donations of some enthusiastic people in the society, you know......" He turned to me, "There are only the director of the orphanage, Mrs. Green, and a girl named Shanni, but the two of them have adopted more than thirty orphans. ”

"Really?" I couldn't help but be surprised, and suddenly I felt a little respect.

"You only need to see Lady Green to understand everything," Ye Ningchen lowered his voice and said beside me, "It's just that this Lady Green's temper is a little weird, and she almost never wants to see outsiders, no matter what, give it a try-look, that's Shanny......"

Following the direction of Ye Ningchen's gaze, I looked up and saw that a girl my age was playing games with several children on the lawn.

"Hello, Sanny." Ye Ningchen walked over and smiled politely at her.

Sunny looked up, her eyes a little curious, "Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"That's right, could you please take us to meet Mrs. Green, we have some things to ask her face to face." Ye Ningchen replied.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Green never saw anyone, and besides, she's giving lessons to the kids right now."

"We—"

I pressed Ye Ningchen and said to Shanni with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is really inconvenient for us to disturb her, then we will wait here for her to get out of class." (To be continued......)
