The glossy red wine in the crystal glass reflects the jewel-like light in the light, brilliant and blurry.

Ling Li bent her eyes slightly, and her gaze swept over the pink bouquet of roses on the table.

This is the Aisha rose, not the most expensive such as cut flowers such as Juliet, but it is one of her favorites. Ling Li didn't know how Zhu Jinchuan learned about her preference, in short, she never said it, but he could always guess it.

It's like always being able to know exactly what she wants to eat at night.

She did miss the taste of steak a little the day before, and she came to eat it today, still at the house where Zhu Jinchuan once took her to eat - only it was no longer the tomahawk for four people, but the bone-in eye meat.

Zhu Jinchuan's reserved location, in the corner by the window, has a wide and private view, and can see the gorgeous and bright night view outside the window, which is also the quietest corner of the hotel.

Today's steak is as delicious as ever, and unlike in the past, a bottle of red wine has been added to the table.

Zhu Jinchuan naturally wouldn't be so rich as to ask for the best in the store directly, he ordered the medium price, and bluntly said that Ling Li is not good at tasting wine now, and the good ones are also tyrannical.

Indeed, Zhu Jinchuan is telling the truth, she can't tell the difference between good and bad wine now, but she can also drink some red wine fragrant and fragrant.

These days, she accompanies Zhu Jinchuan, occasionally having a drink to feel the feeling of being slightly drunk, relaxed and comfortable, which is also very good.

It's just that this night seems to have been a little too drunk, a little drunk.

However, on a big day like today, it's not too much to drink a little more.

Not only because Zhu Jinchuan recovered well from the fractured bone and successfully removed the plaster cast last weekend, but also because he won a big lawsuit.

That case Zhu Jinchuan followed for almost a year, and it was an intellectual property case that was changed by the Supreme People's Court, and 20 million yuan was recorded after deducting individual income tax. And this kind of income can be ranked among the top ten in the Funan lawyer industry.

In the few years that Ling Li has followed him to practice, he has grown at an astonishing rate, and he himself has also stepped from the first-class to the top.

With this large amount of income, he not only invited the people in the institute to have a good carnival, but naturally he would celebrate with her alone.

To say that this case is actually quite difficult, the reason why it can be won, must have put a lot of effort into it. In particular, he basically did it single-handedly, with only two assistants.

Zhu Jinchuan sighed a little: "With this order, I can rest a little next year." After all, he is too old to withstand the hard work. Otherwise, it's better to retire. ”

Even if he knew that he was joking, Ling Li couldn't help but puff out his cheeks and retorted: "How old are you?" Is it the golden age? ”

Looking at the flush on her face because of the wine, as well as the brilliance in her eyes, Zhu Jinchuan's smile grew.

Reaching out to touch the back of her hand, he whispered, "Isn't there still you?" ”

Ling Li's hand moved, and after that, let him hold it in his hand.

He seemed to be very satisfied with Ling Li's gradual acceptance of his intimate actions, smiled slightly, and asked, "During the Spring Festival, will you go home with me?" ”

Ling Li was stunned, not knowing how he brought up this question, there was a little doubt and hesitation in his eyes.

Zhu Jinchuan naturally understood her emotions and explained slowly: "My mother said that she wanted to see you, and she also said that she hadn't seen you for many years, and she didn't know what it would look like." ”

Ling Li bit her lip lightly, looking a little apprehensive: "Auntie is afraid that she will be disappointed." ”

He smiled: "How so? You little fool, you always don't know how good you are. It's just to take you home during the Spring Festival, just my parents, no one else, you don't have to be afraid. ”

Ling Li nodded, but suddenly became a little uneasy.

I don't know why, some clips of her returning to Flower City with Nanzhiyi popped up in her head.

Including that weird Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, that orange bonsai, snacks that afternoon, and the mountain bag where Qianyang fell off the cliff.

I don't know why, but I remembered what Qian Yang said that night in my mind, and there were some questions that she hadn't figured out yet.

With something in her head, her absent-mindedness lasted until the end of dinner, when Zhu Jinchuan sent her downstairs.

"Ling Li, Ling Li?"

She stood in front of the elevator and thought a little in thought, and suddenly, Zhu Jinchuan's voice interrupted her memory.

Ling Li hurriedly gathered her thoughts and raised her face: "What?" ”

"Why do you start to turn pale? Is it cold? Zhu Jinchuan's eyes were full of color, and then he touched her warm hand and put his mind at ease, "It's good if it's not cold." ”

After saying that, he sent her upstairs and told her to close the doors and windows before going to bed and pay attention to safety.

Ling Li's heart warmed slightly, but she complained: "Okay, I'm not a child anymore, I know how to take care of myself." ”

He rubbed her hair and replied seriously, "Do you think I'm annoyed?" In my eyes, aren't you just a little kid who doesn't grow up? ”

After that, looking at Ling Li's angry pouting appearance, I only felt that it was extremely fresh and lovely, especially the lips dyed with a faint red color, which looked as soft and fragrant as rose petals.

With a thought in his mind, he couldn't help but bend down slightly and move closer to her face.

His purpose was clear, and his actions were bold, reaching out to support her small chin.

Ling Li didn't expect that in less than a second, Zhu Jinchuan leaned over, and it was so close, so close that she could clearly smell the faint smell of wine in his breath.

His mouth touched her chin, his thumb brushing over her lips, his breathing quickening.

She knew very well what he wanted to do next, and she knew very well that they had been together for a month, and he had only taken her hand without going further, and he was already a very gentleman.

But she still couldn't help instinctively, and suddenly turned his face to the side, letting his kiss fall on the corner of her lips.

Just missed.

Zhu Jinchuan slowly straightened up his upper body, which had leaned forward slightly, took a step back, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head, a little nervous, and raised her hand to brush the broken hair from the side of her ear.

After a few seconds, she heard him sigh slightly, and then regained his warm voice: "It's okay, no need to apologize." ”

Ling Li mustered up the courage to raise his eyes, and looked at his smiling face in surprise, as well as her shadow reflected in his eyes.

There was still a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "I know you need time to get used to me, and I still say the same thing, I can afford to wait, and I am willing to wait." ”

After Zhang Shouzhen knew that Ling Li and Zhu Jinchuan were together, he avoided Ling Li for two whole days.

In his own words, he just felt the wrong generation.

In Zhang Shouzhen's eyes, Zhu Jinchuan is a model and model among the children of the workers in their factory, a high-ranking barrister, a capable person, and a big man, who has to give a thumbs up when he says it, and he is a person that his old Zhang admires.

Your own little girl? I don't like to talk like a gourd, and I'm usually sullen, although I'm also well-behaved and sensible, I heard that the work has been getting better and better recently, but it's not the same way as Zhu Jinchuan.

What's more, he knew that Zhu Jinchuan had accepted Ling Li as an apprentice, and the two were originally masters and apprentices, and Zhu Jinchuan was still a divorced person.

He wasn't against it, he just couldn't accept it for a while. On the contrary, his wife came over triumphantly, saying that he had already seen that Zhu Jinchuan was not ordinary to Ling Li.

Fortunately, Zhang Shouzhen has gradually accepted this matter recently, and he can look at Ling Li directly, and he will not twitch the corners of his eyes when he mentions the relationship between the two of them.

Ling Li saw that her uncle's mentality had changed, so she made an appointment with Zhu Jinchuan and asked him to come to the small shop on the weekend, which could be regarded as officially talking about the two of them with her family.

On Friday afternoon, Ling Li got off work early and brought a box of rocket apples from the supermarket to see Xiaobao.

Xiaobao had a third re-examination after chemotherapy, and just got the results this day.

The results of the tests indicated that he was recovering well. If there is no problem after two more re-examinations, you can consider finding a kindergarten nearby and letting Xiaobao enroll.

Thinking that Xiaobao can be like a normal child, Ling Li is also the same as Ding Wenhua, so happy that his steps are much brisker.

Before dinner began, Zhu Jinchuan also came.

He hurried back from out of town, and he crossed another hurdle to celebrate Xiaobao.

Even in a hurry, he didn't forget to prepare a gift for Xiaobao - a big box of Lego bricks, or the boys' favorite Lightning McQueen series.

In addition, there is also a set of tea sets, cervical massagers for Zhang Shouzhen and his wife, and Cordyceps in Tibet for Zhang Jianwen and Ding Wenhua.

Regardless of the price, everyone feels that the gift is satisfactory.

Ling Li sighed again, wishing Jinchuan's heart as fine as a hair.

Uncle loves to drink tea, my aunt was talking about a stiff neck a few days ago, my cousin and sister-in-law are most worried about Xiaobao's body now, and Cordyceps, a supplement that improves immunity and is mild, is the most suitable for them.

If Zhu Jinchuan is willing, he can always take care of everyone without leaking a drop of water and being considerate, quiet and gentle, so that people can't find fault.

If you habitually rely on him like this, you probably won't be able to become a queen like Lu Xiaoxiao, and you will only degenerate into a little princess who can't do anything.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with that kind of day.

This night, my aunt took out the skills of housekeeping, made a big table of delicious dishes, and the original thorn Ding Wenhua is now reformed and turned to the right, this meal is very happy, and the guests and hosts are happy.

Because everyone knows the roots, there are no polite words on the table. Zhu Jinchuan accompanied Zhang Shouzhen to drink, and drank out of his uncle's interest.

They discussed expanding the store, and Zhu Jinchuan said that he wanted to buy shares, and said that he could handle the matter of the store, and he could also ask his friends to do market research to measure the flow of people, etc., to ensure that the store would not be opened to the dead port.

Zhang Shouzhen's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and after hearing Zhu Jinchuan's big package, he happily patted him on the shoulder and asked, "You and Xiaoli, when are you going to do something?" Is the ring ready? ”

Ling Li subconsciously lowered her head, and after a few seconds, she heard Zhu Jinchuan say: "I'm choosing, there are currently three that I think are good, I decided to take Xiao Li to see it this weekend, if you don't like it, just customize one." ”

Zhang Shouzhen listened and smiled even more happily: "What about the wedding period?" Is it decided? ”

Zhu Jinchuan looked at Ling Li beside him and smiled: "If Xiao Li agrees, then it is better to make an appointment during the Spring Festival, and the parents will meet to discuss this matter." ”
