Chapter 38: The Eternal Love in Her Mind
Bai Qingling sat on the sofa and tilted his head to look at the 'traffic accident' at the gate about Frank Liu and Bai Wensheng without saying a word.
When the others left, Frank Liu also came over.
"Dear Miesbai, good afternoon, I have been invited by Misteryan to send me the work I completed last time for you to see." After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands outside.
Bai Qingling saw two men dressed in very ordinary clothes, carrying a huge thing.
Walked down the hall to the couch and put it down.
"Open it quickly, and please take a look at it." Frank Liu seemed excited.
When the two of them tore open the wrapping paper on the mural, Bai Qingling put down his arms and propped himself up on the sofa, and leaned forward.
It's a photo of her and Yan Lou.
Zooming in to a photo as big as the mural, at first glance, Bai Qingling didn't look at himself, but looked at Yan Lou.
The man wears a slim black suit, a white shirt and a black bow tie.
"Sure enough, he is good-looking, and he is a little energetic in everything he wears." She muttered.
Liu Xiangxi, who came over today, was also dressed gorgeously, but he was defeated by a scoundrel temperament and an obscene appearance, and the same clothes were worn on different people's bodies, but they were not the same.
"Miss Bai is satisfied, do you want to hang it now, I am very much looking forward to the appearance of this mural-like photo hanging up." Frank Liu had been staring at her face, and when he saw her smiling and affirming his masterpiece, he immediately proposed.
"Well, hang it up," Bai Qingling pointed to the whole wall in the hall, which was originally the landscape mural, "It's hanging there." ”
Frank Liu frowned, and tried his best to control himself.
That's the most conspicuous and bright place in the White Mansion!
This double photo hangs there, and the guests who come here will inevitably ask for compliments, and they will inevitably ask whose masterpiece it is!
Frank Liu's big hand waved, "Quickly hang up the photos of Mi Si Bai and Mi Shi Yan." ”
Bai Qingling didn't care to see them unloading the murals and hanging the murals, so he stood up and said to Frank Liu, "It's still early, the clothes I wore today are very suitable for taking pictures, do you choose to take photos in the Bai Mansion or go to Sanma Road to take pictures?" ”
Frank Liu was worried that they would ruin his masterpiece and had no intention of taking pictures, but the eldest lady could not refute what she said.
He turned around and bowed respectfully, but his beret did not know that he would be so gentlemanly, and almost fell off the top of his head with little hair, and at the same time he bent over, one arm was wrapped around his chest in front of Western etiquette, and the other arm was raised above his head, and he could not say what he wanted to say, which looked very funny.
Frank Liu's frightened performance ruined Bai Qingling's good interest in taking pictures.
She waved her hand, "Forget it, let's talk about it another day, you get busy first." ”
In this way, Miss Bai turned around and left in such a chic manner and went upstairs.
Frank Liu straightened up, took a long breath, and pressed his beret, sighing inwardly for the empathy of the eldest lady.
The empathetic Miss Bai was bored and decided to go back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep, not caring at all about the conflict that happened today.
One is the family doing the sewing business at the wharf, and the other is the family doing the tobacco business, both of them are just businessmen, and they can't set off any strong winds and waves, and that straw bale Liu Xiangxi is not afraid.
His father was just a small counselor, and he didn't even win the deputy chief.
Bai Qingling didn't care about it at all.
In the hall downstairs, Frank Liu tried his best to do his best, and after removing the murals, he asked people to wrap the murals well, and the people of the White Mansion carried them back to the warehouse to settle them.
And he himself kept a close eye on the workers, hanging the photo of the two on the wall.
Night fell quietly, the floor clock struck five times, and Frank Liu's great task was finally successfully completed, he was relieved, and he was happy to leave with the workers, when the door of the White Mansion opened, and the black car drove back.
Yan Lou got out of the car, and the coachman drove the car to the car room, where he stood and looked at it, and then took a solid picture of the incomparably large double photo on the wall of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Frank Liu looked at the handsome man standing outside, and the languid appearance of the supervisor all afternoon, he immediately became energetic.
He stood upright, waiting quietly for Misteryan to look at his great work.
When Yan Lou came in, he saw Frank's eyes full of expectation and light, and he was very earnestly waiting for the other party's praise.
"Hard."
"It's not hard, it's not hard," and when the compliment came, Frank Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "Missyan, please take a look, is there anything that needs to be adjusted?" ”
"Did the eldest lady see it?" Yan Lou looked at the beautiful Bai Qingling on the mural and asked lightly.
"Miesbeth was very satisfied," said Frank Liu, "and on the way down, I happened to meet Miesbeth in a reception. ”
When he said this, he was a little puzzled, "Mistyan, Mi Sibai's friends are very strange, and their mouths are pickled, which makes people very uncomfortable. Although Miesbeth had a good conversation with one of the handsome and handsome gentlemen, he was still very sad to go upstairs after the man had left and saw this very satisfactory work. ”
Yan Lou's brows moved slightly.
He asked his subordinates to find a chauffeur and send Frank Liu away.
Before leaving, Frank Liu said again, "Misteryan, that handsome gentleman seems to have a good impression of Mi Sibai," At this point, he paused, not knowing whether to say it or not, but finally said firmly, "I really want to attend the wedding ceremony of Mi Sibai and Mi Si Yan." ”
Yan Lou stared at his back thoughtfully, and asked the guard with a sideways face, "What's the matter?" ”
The guards recounted the events of the day.
Yan Lou's face turned cold.
Bai Qingling slept for an hour, and when he opened his eyes, the sky had already darkened.
She sat on the edge of the bed and relaxed, got out of bed and walked to the window, looked at the lights in the car room, and smiled.
He's back!
I turned on the light, walked to the dresser and looked at my face carefully, it was still very beautiful, so I stood up and prepared to go downstairs to meet him.
But when he came to the door, he turned back.
After thinking about it for a while, he ran to change into the one that was suitable for the small gathering.
It was a waste to use that one to see them, so it was better to wear it again, so as not to waste the good craftsmanship of the tailor.
After thinking about this, I changed my clothes happily.
When Bai Qingling wore high heels and walked downstairs step by step, she saw Yan Lou sitting sideways on the sofa.
Where the man's gaze was was on the big envelope on the coffee table.
Bai Qingling descended the stairs step by step, walked over briskly, bent down and picked it up, "It was given to me by a male classmate of mine." ”
She looked at him, "It's a male classmate named Bai Wensheng, have you heard of it?" ”
Yan Lou looked back at her expressionlessly, neither did he stand up, nor did he mean to reply, he just looked at her lightly.
"What's wrong, know or don't know?" Bai Qingling saw that he looked indifferent as usual, and it was a little strange.
The man glanced down at the envelope on the table and stood up.
The tall back turned his back to her and walked straight to the restaurant.
When Bai Qingling thought that he was ignoring himself and going to dinner, he suddenly stood up again, turned his back to her and said, "If the eldest lady regrets it, you can publish a report to dissolve the marriage contract before the ceremony, and I will help the eldest lady deal with it." ”
Bai Qingling was simply inexplicable, "What are you talking about?" I'll just ask if you know Bai Wensheng, who said that he was going to break the marriage contract with you? ”
"Could it be that when I met and chatted with him, you got angry?"
The man was silent for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look at her, "Yes." ”
Bai Qingling was stunned.
Is he angry?
Why is he angry? It's just a few words with a male classmate and he gets angry? Where is this still the breezy Yanlou on weekdays.
Could it be that he is jealous?
Bai Qingling blinked his black and white eyes quickly.
Miss Bai seemed to have suddenly discovered something very important.
Bai Qingling was still standing in place, but Yan Lou had already turned around and left, and the direction he went was not the restaurant, his leather shoes turned, he walked out of the hall, and drove away from the Bai Mansion alone.
Bai Qingling heard the sound of the car engine sounding and leaving, she turned around, frowned and asked the next person, "Yan Lou is gone?" ”
"Yes, Miss."
Bai Qingling was not much surprised.
He loves her, and she is jealous of it, so of course he wants to escape and hide.
Men are all about face!
Miss Bai was very satisfied with his performance, and she didn't want to ask about Bai Wensheng, and planned to go to the restaurant to eat, but she caught a glimpse of the envelope on the coffee table.
She bent down to pick it up and went to the restaurant.
While waiting for her meal, she pulled out the drawing paper inside.
When I unfolded it, my face changed and changed.
What kind of painting is this, this is obviously evidence that you are in love and in love!
I saw a long-haired woman who looked like Bai Qingling painted on the drawing paper, and in front of this woman was a man kneeling on one knee.
Of course, the man couldn't be Yan Lou, but Bai Wensheng, whose name was marked with a line!
There is more than one painting, and there is a line at the bottom -
At first, I didn't know love, but I didn't realize until you left, may you return safely to meet me and fall in love with me.
The place where the payment is made is Bai Wensheng.
Bai Qing smiled angrily.
slapped the drawing paper on the table, "Okay, you ask for nothing, this painting is for him to see, isn't it a misunderstanding!" ”
This time, she understood that Yan Lou was jealous, and she was obviously angry.
The love she staged in her mind, who would have thought that it would be a big misunderstanding.
Bai Qingling refolded the paper and stuffed it back into the envelope, glanced at his favorite sirloin steak on the table, and lost his appetite.
Where can I still eat this?
Yan Lou drove away from home!
He must have misunderstood that she and Bai Wensheng still have a personal affair and the old relationship has rekindled, and he is naturally going to regret the marriage!
What the hell is this?
She pursed her red lips, thinking about where he was going or how to find him.
But if she doesn't look for it, she can't do it, if she doesn't explain, he will never come back, so what can she do?
Miss Bai is really anxious and angry again.
One more look at the steak on the table, it's not that you're out of appetite, it's boring!
She asked the servant to take a shawl and put it on at will, and asked the coachman to prepare the car, and went straight to Yan Lou's old house.
I don't know where he can go, so it's better to wait and explain it to him.
Bai Qingling thought clearly, this matter had nothing to do with her, it was all caused by Bai Wensheng alone, if Yan Lou didn't listen to her explanation, then she would let Bai Wensheng tie up and explain it herself!
The coachman was urged by Bai Qingling all the way to drive very fast.
Even when she passed by the fish stall in the slum market, she didn't have the heart to cover her mouth and nose to hide the fishy smell.
Along the way, she also thought soberly.
Bai Wensheng doesn't seem to be a bad person, this painting is really as he said, it is a painting he made at the beginning, but she has not returned to China at that time, and he is indeed in love with her.
It's just that this painting was chosen to be sent at this time, no matter how you think about it, something is wrong.
Talking to Bai Wensheng, she didn't think he was stupid, and he wasn't very shrewd, just an ordinary man with good rules and good looks.
When she arrived outside Yan Lou's old house, she asked the coachman to smash the door.
The knocker snapped a few times, but no one answered.
Bai Qingling pursed her red lips tightly, and tightened her shawl with both hands.
I can only wait.
It was the second half of the night.
It's just that this day is not as mild as before, and the coachman saw the eldest lady shrink into a ball, hiding in the back seat, worried and anxious.
But Yan Lou didn't seem to want to come back at all, waiting left and right, there was no shadow of his car, and there was no shadow of people.
An hour, another hour.
In the end, the coachman saw that the eldest lady was really cold, so he took it upon himself to drive all the way back to the White Mansion.
Bai Qingling is sick.
It's not a big illness, it's a wind chill, a wind chill that freezes out.
She lay on the soft Simmons bed, the heavy quilt wrapped in her, and a cold towel on her hot forehead.
There were tears in the corners of her eyes, she was very aggrieved, and she wanted to open her mouth to scold the man who was sitting next to her and take care of her, but her throat hurt so much that she couldn't speak.
I had to have hot tears running down my cheeks over and over again.
Yan Lou changed her cold towel without saying a word, and gently wiped her tears with a cotton handkerchief, until she fell asleep in a groggy state, and then sighed deeply.
The doctor who was invited over in the middle of the night gave Bai Qingling a typhoid injection, and took her temperature by Yan Lou's hand.
The heat finally subsided, and the doctor left.
Yan Lou stood beside the bed, looking at her heavily, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the early morning of the second day, Bai Qingling woke up with a dry mouth.
The head was still groggy, and he was dizzy when he moved, obviously a little confused from the heat.
She turned her head to look sideways at the bedside, and saw Yan Lou sitting there, and there was a bowl on the table at the head of the bed.
"I'm thirsty."
She was aggrieved, and even her voice was full of grievances.
Yan Lou got up silently, poured a glass of warm water and walked over to put it down, helped her get up again, and handed it to her, "Can you drink it yourself?" ”
Bai Qingling nodded, but this nod also made his head dull and painful.
She frowned tightly, a pained look.
Yan Lou held the water glass to her lips, held her back with one hand and stroked it gently, "Drink slowly." ”
Bai Qingling didn't care about anything else, opened his chapped lips, and took a few sips.
With the water in her belly, she felt a little more comfortable, and with his strength, she leaned back on the cushion, her hands folded together, and her eyes followed the cup in his hand to the empty bowl.
There are some black marks on the bottom of the bowl, which looks like a bowl of bitter medicine soup no matter how you look at it.
She frowned, "That bitter medicine soup, I also drank it?" ”
She has hated the bitter taste since she was a child, and no matter how sick she is, she would rather drink more warm water than drink bitter medicine soup.
But the bowl on the table is clearly drunk.
She smacked her mouth, feeling that it was really a little bitter, and before Yan Lou could answer, her face collapsed, "Who asked you to make your own decisions and give me a decoction." ”
"I can't help but drink the medicine, I'm all burned." Yan Lou said lightly.
This time, Bai Qingling was even more aggrieved, "What kind of tone are you, it clearly has nothing to do with me, it is Bai Wensheng's self-inflicted amorousness, I don't love him, and I don't marry him, you get angry when you get angry, what is it about you running away from home, do you know that I am most afraid of getting sick and drinking decoction, you also poured me decoction when I was confused, you, bully people!" ”
was wronged, and tears flowed again.
Big teardrops crackled and smashed on the quilt.
Yan Lou sighed, and the brocade wiped it for her.
Bai Qingling turned his head and dodged over, "I don't want you to be pretending to be kind, I hate bitter soup, you just pour me bitter soup, you just bully me!" No one pities me and no one loves me, you all want to bully me! ”
"Miss," he sighed, "you must first get rid of your illness." ”
"After raising it, will you bully me with others in different tricks?!"
The voice fell, and the servant knocked lightly on the door, "Adjutant Yan, the medicine you ordered has been boiled and cooled." ”
"Bring it in." The man said.
Bai Qingling's eyes widened, and he scolded him in disbelief, "You still want me to drink bitter soup!" ”
"Miss, follow the doctor's instructions." Yan Lou took the bowl from the servant, "Go down and close the door." ”
The maid closed the door, and although Bai Qingling had no strength and had an unbearable headache, he still struggled to get up.
You can't drink anything!
If you don't have the strength, how can you struggle? The silver spoon blocked it, but Bai Qingling might still listen to some words, and he also knew what it meant to judge the situation, but only this bitter medicine soup could not be drunk.
As soon as the spoon reached her lips, she pursed her lips and tilted her head to dodge.
In this way, even a few spoons were left aside, and it was really impossible to feed them.
Yan Lou frowned, "It's better to be obedient when you fall asleep." ”
After speaking, he stood up helplessly.
Bai Qingling saw that he seemed to have given up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in the next second, I saw him put the medicine in the bowl into his mouth.
was surprised, when she saw him bow his head, the whole magnified handsome face came to her eyes.
"You," what to do!
Only one word was uttered in the whole sentence, and then, her lips were forcefully pushed open, and then a strong smell of bitter medicine filled her mouth.
In order to prevent Bai Qingling from spitting out, Yan Lou wrapped one hand around her back, raised her chin with the other, and tightly blocked her lips.
The woman was constantly moving like a carp, and the man's powerful clamping blocked her silently.
It wasn't until she heard a grunt that Yan Lou let go of her.
Bai Qingling covered his lips with his hands, his face was flushed, and he glared at him, angry and anxious.
