It was less than nine o'clock when the car arrived at the community where Lu Zhengnan lived, but I saw him as soon as I got out of the car.

After thanking the driver, I walked over to him.

"Hey, you got fifteen minutes earlier than expected." He greeted him with a smile.

"Why did you come down so early?"

"I knew you were going to be early."

I chuckled, "When did you become a half-immortal?" ”

He smiled and said nothing, and reached out to make a gesture of please, "Let's go, I'll show you my new home." ”

I followed him into the community, which is a high-end apartment area, very famous in Rongcheng, and the developer is Hengyuan Group.

Lu Zhengnan lives on the twelfth floor, it is a two-bedroom apartment, the hall is very large, the decoration is very fine, the furniture is complete, and the cleaning is very clean.

I walked around the house and asked, "When did you move in?" ”

Lu Zhengnan brought me a bottle of mineral water, "I moved in the day before yesterday, how do you feel?" ”

"Well, it's good, it's warm." I give a rating.

"Would you like to visit my bedroom?" Lu Zhengnan was very earnest in his invitation.

"I have to look at it," I said, unceremoniously, going one step ahead of him and into the master bedroom.

The bedroom is not big, but it is not small, a double bed, a set of wardrobes, nothing else, very simple.

But when I swept my eyes over the paintings on the walls, I couldn't help but be amazed. It was a half-human-high oil painting, in which a young girl stood in a sea of flowers, revealing half of her side face, as if she wanted to turn her head but did not turn around, leaving a back, with a touch of sadness and loneliness.

Who is that girl, if not me?

"You drew it." I turned around and looked at Lu Zhengnan in disbelief.

He leaned against the door, his eyes that seemed to smile with tenderness, "Well, I painted when I missed you abroad, and this one is my favorite, so I brought it back." ”

"Due South, I really...... It's not worth it for you. "I'm ashamed.

He walked up to me, looked at the painting on the wall side by side with me, and he whispered, "There is nothing worthless, only I want to." After a pause, "You've changed a lot in the past few years, and it's much better than I expected." ”

"People always have to look forward." I sighed.

"I'm glad you think so." He looked sideways at me.

I smiled at him, "Okay, let's not talk about that. I heard Su Qing say that you are a very famous architect now, it seems that you have been doing very well in the past few years. ”

"Oh, it's okay." He is still very modest.

That day, Su Qing told me that Lu Zhengnan was very famous abroad, I still didn't believe it, and then I searched on the Internet, and I was really shocked, he was actually the winner of last year's "International Architecture Award", which is an international authoritative architecture award.

However, with Lu Zhengnan's talent, such an achievement is also predictable.

"You are developing so well abroad, why do you want to return to China?" I asked.

"Tong Tong," he called me very softly, stared at me, and said softly, "I heard Su Qing say that you got married last year...... I was lost for a long time, and I was secretly determined to forget about you completely, but when I heard about it...... Meng Chengyang treated you like that, and I hated to fly back to you immediately, so I accepted the invitation of Hengyuan Group. ”

Looking at those affectionate eyes, my heart hurt slightly, how could I let such an excellent person worry about me for so many years.

And what shall I give him in return?

I can't afford what Lu Zhengnan wants.

In fact, he has changed a lot, he is no longer shy, he has matured a lot, he is a lot stronger, and now he is famous, he is suitable for a girl who is a hundred times better than me and a hundred times better, not me, a person who lives in the shadows.

"Actually, Meng Chengyang is very good to me, it's my problem, I've tried hard, but it still doesn't work." I looked at him sadly, "It's not worth it, really." I can't give you anything at all. ”

"I don't need you to give me anything, I just want to be with you." He reached out to take my hand, but I avoided it.

"You see, I can't even give you a simple hand-holding." I laughed self-deprecatingly, but I wasn't disgusted by touching him, but I just wanted to get out of the way.

Lu Zhengnan's hand froze there, trembled slightly, and took it back. Immediately, he laughed, pretending to be casual and said, "Don't worry, I believe that one day you will accept me." His eyes were soft as if they were about to melt away all my obstacles, "As long as you are willing to try, I can wait as long as I want." ”

I turned my eyes away and looked at the painting on the wall, what kind of thoughts did I miss? Let him draw me like that, with a body shape and charm, just like me.

Maybe I shouldn't have closed myself off like that.

After a long time, I replied, "Then try it." "Even if it's to give yourself a chance.

"Great," Lu Zhengnan sighed with joy, "Tong Tong, you don't know, I've been waiting for this sentence for six years." ”

I turned my eyes to look at him, and his eyes shone with a sparkling water that moved me deeply.

When I returned to the old villa from Lu Zhengnan's residence, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. As soon as I entered the living room, I heard Xiaoyue's laughter. Father and stepmother hadn't slept yet, Xiaoyue didn't know what she was talking about, and her funny stepmother couldn't stop laughing with her. My father sat on the side, his face gentle.

Seeing such a picture, I always feel that I am an outsider in this family, because those three are the real family.

"Tong Tong is back." Or my stepmother saw me with sharp eyes.

"Hmm," I replied, turning to head upstairs.

"Tong Tong, come over here." My father suddenly stopped me.

I didn't want to go over, "Dad, I'm a little tired and want to go upstairs to sleep." ”

Just two sentences," the father was visibly displeased.

Xiaoyue on the side didn't seem to see me, staring at the TV with both eyes and eating snacks, and her stepmother poked her a little embarrassed, but she didn't pay attention to her stepmother at all. I don't think I saw it at all.

I walked over and sat down on the couch furthest away from them, "Tell me something." ”

"Tomorrow's cocktail party, your sister has invited Zou Zichen, and he also promised to come. I'll go tomorrow night too. When my father said this, Xiaoyue glanced at me very proudly, and I couldn't help but feel funny, and I heard my father say: "Early tomorrow morning, you will personally invite those suppliers who have been urging money, as well as the manager of the bank urging me." ”

"Okay." I knew it.

Father is really actuarial step by step.

Back in the bedroom, I collapsed on the bed.

Zou Zichen's expression when he answered Xiaoyue's phone suddenly appeared in his mind, and it was difficult to ...... Did he really take a fancy to Xiaoyue? That's why you don't want to entangle with me?

Belch...... Why should I think about this bastard, whoever he loves is going to be my business.

The phone rang suddenly.

I had no choice but to get up, take out my mobile phone from my small bag, it was a call from Lu Zhengnan, looking at the flashing name, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Hey," I picked up.

"You're home?" Gentle magnetic sound.

"Well, I've been back for a while."

"That's right...... Don't tell your dad before I come back. ”

"Why?" I'm a little confused.

"If your dad knows I'm back, my dad will know soon."

"Uh...... When you return to China, your family still doesn't know? "I was a little surprised.

"I decided to come back on the spur of the moment, so I didn't tell them." He was a little uncomfortable.

Looks like he really came back for me.

"Then you can't keep this thing a secret."

"I'll tell them when everything is settled on my side."

"Oh,"

"Alright, let's go to bed early." He chuckled.

"Okay," I was about to hang up the phone, when the other end suddenly said, "Tongtong, thank you." ”

I was thanked.

"Thank you, willing to try it with me." Soon he added.

"Zhengnan, don't do this." I suddenly felt so stressed.

He chuckled, "Okay, let's not talk about it." Good night. Good dreams. ”

When I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but sigh, and I didn't know if the decision I made at night was the right one. What if I still can't accept him in the end?

It's useless to think about it, no matter what, since I promised him, then I have to work hard...... For him and for me.

The next day, I arrived at the office early. I asked my father to invite several important people, and I personally called and invited them one by one. Others, because of the tight time, can't send invitations at all, so they can only send invitations in the form of emails and add a phone call from the secretary.

I was busy all morning before I decided on all the people I wanted to invite.

I went to the dress shop around four o'clock in the afternoon. The owner was very enthusiastic and recommended me a few new evening dresses. I looked at the style and it was really good, so I picked out two sets and prepared to try them on.

I was just about to enter the fitting room when the fitting room door on the other side opened from the inside, and Xiaoyue walked out in a slim short skirt with creamy lace nets, and saw me when she turned her head.

There are only a few such brand dress stores in Rongcheng, only two or three. So you will often meet acquaintances here.

"Sister, you're here too." She exclaimed with a smile on her face. It seems that some time ago we were not unhappy at all.

The speed at which this girl changed her face was really catching up with her boss Zou Zichen.

Belch...... How do I think of that man again?

I glanced her up and down, "Well, you're in good shape, and this dress fits you perfectly." "This girl has really grown up, and she is convex and concave.

Lin Xiaoyue walked to the mirror, glanced left and right, frowned, and said, "It's not as good as I imagined, it's not sexy enough." ”

The V-neck is so low, the skirt is so short, and it's not sexy, so she simply don't wear it.

I raised an eyebrow and went into the fitting room.

When I changed my clothes and came out of the fitting room, Lin Xiaoyue was still picking out a dress in the hall, and when she saw me come out, she looked over, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

I walked over to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and with just one look, I fell in love with it.

Royal blue ripples, lining the skin color is crystal white, the style is simple and generous, the neckline, not too low and not too high, the skirt is just to the lacquer cover, elegant and dignified, slim, not too tight and not loose, just right, the most special is the large bow on the beveled edge of the waist. Originally, I didn't like this bow very much, but I didn't expect it to work so well after the upper body. To sum up, this dress seems to have been made for me.

"Sister, you're almost twenty-seven, why are you still wearing clothes with butterflies, won't you be too tender." Lin Xiaoyue was still wearing the dress just now, and looked at me with disdain.

But how could the favor in her eyes for my dress escape my eyes.

"Didn't you notice that I look about your size in this dress?" How about pretending to be tender, sister, I just want to be tender.
