Qin Yan and I were in front of the pond in his yard, he was standing, I was squatting, and I grabbed a handful of fish feed to feed the fish.

The surrounding scene is already twilight, and this wealthy area is full of single-door villas, so quiet that you can only hear the cicadas in the elm trees in the distance and the splash of koi fish in the pond in front of you as they compete for fish food. There was a lamp overhead, the shimmering white light that illuminated the iris around him and distorted it, like the colors in Van Gogh's paintings.

After blowing the night breeze for a while, my head didn't hurt so much, and suddenly I heard Qin Yan's voice sounding very lightly above my head: "Recently, the company has been engaged in supply chain finance, and this week I ran seven or eight general contractors to discuss cooperation with them. ”

I felt as if I was listening to a book from heaven, and I looked up at him for a few seconds: "What is that, can you eat it?" ”

He also looked down at me, and after a while, said, "No." ”

I said, "Oh......" I turned my head back and was silent for a while, and the fish food in my hand was gone. I squatted for a while, and my legs were so numb that I had to clap my hands and stand up. After a few seconds, I heard Qin Yan's voice coming from me again, we were actually standing very close, but maybe it was because his voice was a little soft, and it sounded like it was blown away by the wind.

He said, "Buckwheat, if my words make you unhappy that day, you can forget about it." ”

I looked back at him, was silent for two seconds, and subconsciously pretended to be stupid: "What are you talking about?" ”

The corners of his lips moved, and I suddenly reacted, I really didn't want to hear that sentence again, I quickly said, "Oh oh, you mean when I was in your house, I seem to remember...... Well, I'm not upset. ”

He looked at me in silence with no expression on his face. But I don't think I did a good job of covering it up, I still remember the chaos that day, not to mention that Qin Yan was so smart, he couldn't have not noticed it.

I thought about it for a few seconds, but I had to smile at him again, and I said, "Actually, it's nothing, I knew it a long time ago, and you were just telling the truth......

He interrupted me: "I have thought about it, I married you, in addition to our family background, maybe there are other reasons. ”

I was stunned, he lowered his head, frowned slightly, and groaned: "I chose you and not others, naturally because you are better than them." He raised his eyes again, "Buckwheat, you are very sensible, I don't think I will have any burden in living with you, and sometimes I even feel as if it is not bad." ”

I was still frozen, and after he finished speaking, he looked at me for a while, and when he saw that I didn't react, he frowned again and hesitated: "I mean, although I don't know how to ......"

I suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, interrupting him from what he hadn't finished. He paused, then raised his hand and pulled my arm down, "What's wrong?" ”

I hugged him with both hands, rubbed his chest, and whispered, "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy, you let me lean on." ”

He was silent for two seconds, and then said softly: "You took your wine just now, didn't you still scold me for hegemonism?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and looked up at him dissatisfied: "Why do you always want such good ears?" ”

He lowered his eyes and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Just to prevent you from scolding me." ”

Two days later, Liao Xiaofei and I went out shopping, next week her dad celebrates his birthday, Liao Xiaofei prepared a gift for his dad this year from head to toe from head to toe, I estimate that as soon as his dad wears it, it will be the same as Tony Leung who is going to walk the red carpet. Compared with the good-looking children of other rich second-generation families, Liao Xiaofei is a little different from them, other people's families are genetic mothers, their mothers are very good-looking, and she is a father who is very good-looking. Her mother is the child of the top-level dignitaries in N City, and it was because of his father's appearance that she decided to marry.

I don't have much research on men's clothing, and after thinking about Qin Yan's taste, I feel that it is really not my turn to worry about his dressing. But to my surprise, I also saw a report about him in a financial magazine in the custom store, and put an interview photo about their family's big move in the capital market some time ago. The report described that he was leading the transformation of the Qin Group, and he was a genius Yunyunyun who promoted the industry-finance linkage model, although I didn't understand a few words, but I still read every detail of his photos and every word in the report seriously.

Liao Xiaofei also came over and glanced at it a few times, and said with emotion: "Ah Li, look at your Qin Yan's longevity, you should burn incense and worship the Buddha to be glad that he was not born twenty years earlier, otherwise I guess it would not be my father who was forcibly taken by my mother back then." She likes Qin Yan's seemingly ascetic and extremely tempting type, and she says to me every day that I want to learn from you and find someone like Qin Yan. She doesn't want to think about it, just like this dress, when God created people, not everyone was handmade, but more of them were mass production of assembly lines, are there so many like that in N City? ”

I also sighed: "But in order to take him down, I also passed five levels and killed six generals, and if I don't pay attention, I have to get in, and Song Qiwen's guy has made me completely stop taking medicine to this day." He looked up from the magazine and asked her, "Your father is so attractive to bees and butterflies, how did your mother get him back then?" And give me a little bit of experience. ”

Liao Xiaofei took a tie and compared it in front of the fitting mirror, glanced at me when he heard the words, and sneered: "Not only back then, but this year, there are still little girls chasing my father." But my mother is different from you, the soft bun who is oppressed, she is the active attack type, she kills one when she finds one, God blocks and kills God and Buddha, and resolutely strangles the flame of revolution in the cradle. ”

I put the magazine back, turned around to the cabinet next to me to look at the jewelry, and listened to Liao Xiaofei say leisurely: "Over the years, in order to check whether my dad has a junior child, my mother is almost cultivating into Sherlock Holmes, and she also has a long-term cooperation with a particularly good private detective, once my dad went to France on a business trip, he chased him directly to the Moulin Rouge, took a bunch of photos in the dance hall, and caused my dad to kneel on the washboard as soon as he came back." Let me tell you, if you are worried about your family Qin Yan in the future, I will give you the detective's phone number to ensure that the investigation is not leaky, not to mention any confidantes, even illegitimate children can find out. ”

I laughed and said, "Forget it, this is too scary, an ex-fiancée is enough for me, and if I find out an illegitimate child, I won't die immediately?" ”

She said: "Oh yes, what happened to his ex-fiancée, there's no follow-up?" And the neurotic college classmate who had to sacrifice himself to fulfill them, didn't bother you anymore? ”

I shook my head and said, "No, even if he bothers me, it's useless, I'm not as virgin as him." After a few seconds, he pointed to a pair of particularly delicate enamel square cufflinks in the cabinet and said to the clerk, "Please help me take this." ”

A few days later, Qin Yan returned from a project in a neighboring city. It was close to noon, and I was bored in the studio, so I went to him on a whim for lunch, and by the way, I brought him the pair of cufflinks I had bought the other day. Who knew that when I arrived at their company, I heard that he was in a meeting, and his secretary Lin came out of the pantry to refill his tea, and happened to see me, so he came over to say hello. He went in again and talked to Qin Yan, then came out and took me to Qin Yan's office, poured me another cup of tea, and said, "Miss Li, the meeting may not end in half an hour, Xiao Qin always asked you to wait for him here for a while." ”

I nodded in understanding, Secretary Lin left the office, I sat down in Qin Yan's position, saw his coat on the back of the chair, thought about it, took out the cufflinks from the bag, imagined the effect of buttoning this coat on his shirt, and was very satisfied.

At this time, there was another knock on the door of the office, and I looked up and saw a girl walking in, and it seemed that when I entered the door, I saw her sitting in the administrative post. She held something in her hand and smiled at me: "Hello Miss Li, I'll send some Wen Jiàn to Mr. Xiao Qin, is it convenient?" ”

I laughed and said, "Oh, what's so inconvenient about this, you please." ”

She walked in and put a stack of texts on the desk, which looked like it should be a contract that Qin Yan needed to sign, all of which were pasted with color stickers, and then put two couriers that needed to be signed by him, and finally a brown paper envelope of ordinary size.

I took the inconspicuous white envelope and looked at it, smiled a little in surprise and said, "You still have customers writing to him?" ”

The girl looked at it and said, "I don't know, it's just that it says that Xiao Qin will receive it, so I'll take it." After a pause, he said: "Our company has done a lot of charity, I heard that Mr. Xiao Qin also donated a lot of poor children and widows in the mountains in his personal name, and he also received a letter of thanks before, maybe it is a letter of thanks." ”

I said, "Oh, that's right. She nodded, smiled at me again, and turned to go out.

I was alone in the office, touring around the left and right, and getting bored back to my place. After taking the envelope just now, I looked down and looked at it carefully, the handwriting on it was very beautiful, the envelope was also very new, close to the tip of my nose, I could smell a trace of lilies, and looking at the amount of the stamp, it didn't look like it was sent here from the depths of the mountains. I weighed the weight of the letter again, and felt that the letter inside was quite thick.

I don't know why a strange and mysterious premonition suddenly surged in my heart, and I glanced at the envelope sticker, maybe the person was glued with solid glue, and the glue was not very strong. I stared at the envelope for half a minute, and then I took a knife from my bag and cut it along the sticky opening, carefully so that the envelope was not damaged in the slightest.

Pouring out the contents of the envelope, it was six or seven pages thick, and there were a few photographs in it, which fell out of the folded letterhead, and I could see the person in the photo at a glance.

After being stunned for a few seconds, I opened the photos on the table, looked at each one, and then unfolded the stack of very thick letters to look at it, but I only looked at less than half of the first paper, my fingers trembled a little, and I turned directly to the last page to see the payment, and for a while, there was a dull pain in my chest like a drum beating.

After another half a minute of confusion, I came back to my senses, looked at my watch, hurriedly stuffed the letter back into the envelope along with the photo, and then put it in my bag and went out of the office door.

Before leaving from the gate, the front desk suddenly stopped me: "Miss Li, aren't you waiting for Mr. Xiao Qin?" He should be over the meeting right away. ”

I turned around and said, "I—I've got something all of a sudden, please tell him...... Said I'll look for him next time. Without looking back, he rushed to the elevator as if he was running away.

I ran to a street park adjacent to Qin's, sat on a long wooden bench, took out the letter and read it in its entirety. After reading it, I sat blankly on the back of the chair for a long time.

Later, I took out my mobile phone and called Liao Xiaofei, and I said, "The private detective you told me before, you can tell me about his phone." ”

She was surprised, "Ah, you're about to act so soon?" Who in the circle now doesn't know that the wedding of the two of you is imminent, and there is still someone who dares to provoke your family Qin Yan at this time? Ah Li, you sue me, who is that person, I'll clean her up for you! ”

I was quiet for a long time, closed my eyes and gritted my teeth vigorously, and said, "Cen Jia! ”
