Chapter 177: Explanation
Yue'er hung up the phone, picked up the mug on the table and took a sip of Espresso. There are a lot of workaholics in this office building, so the coffee shop downstairs has developed a variety of super espresso according to the needs of a large number of customers for these professional elites.
A cup of espresso here can help Yue'er last all day, but it's really out of luck. Last night's case was done late at night, and there are two important meetings this afternoon, and I am really afraid that I won't be able to hold it if I don't take some strong medicine.
And since she was a student, she has been obsessed with various flavors of coffee because of her focus on her studies. I don't know if it's born like this, Yue'er belongs to a rare group of people who sleep less, even she thinks it's quite strange, because she herself will be curious, why she can be refreshed as long as she sleeps five hours a day, and some people, such as Lu Yichen, still yawn after sleeping for 12 hours?
Later, she really searched for relevant information and found that there are really many scientists doing research in this area, such as Thiel Renneberg and Carla Allebrandt, temporal biologists at the University of Munich in Germany, who did a study and concluded that a gene called "ABCC9" can determine the length of sleep.
However, the number of people with this gene is in the minority, only 1 to 3 out of every 100 people. Such a low proportion is considered to be very high frequency in the Lu family, Lu's mother is counted as one, and Yue'er Xing'er is counted, but unfortunately the twins have not inherited such good genes.
Yue'er thought of Lu Yichen, who had just called, and suddenly a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth that she didn't even realize, this meeting, the younger brothers and sisters have grown up, and they have all started to fall in love, it's really time flies.
The person sitting opposite was frowning at the moment, as if he was thinking about something, and after holding it for a long time, he suddenly burst out: "There are no 51." ”
"Huh?" Yue'er was stunned by his abrupt words, but she reacted again in an instant, it should be the "51 public girlfriend" she just told Lu Yichen on the phone.
He slowly explained: "I haven't had a 51-day public girlfriend. There are many scribbles written by the paparazzi, and some are scandals deliberately created by those female stars themselves. 51 Ren was only written publicly by the media, not by me. ”
Not to mention, Fei'er thinks that his ability to pick out words is really similar to their lawyer's, and he uses words accurately. She put down her mug, stuck out her tongue playfully, and then propped her head and popped out her curiosity at the moment: "How much is the real Ren?" ”
Leon came in clearly prepared, and blurted out the answer: "Seventeen." "No more, no less, just 2/3 off. To be honest, with his face and the complex entertainment industry that he has lived in all year round, combined with the relaxed dating culture in the United States, 17 is really not too much. It's just that the children of the Lu family are deeply influenced by their parents, and their way of dealing with feelings is relatively conservative, which is frankly different in the United States.
Yue'er thoughtfully "oh" for a moment, and then reminded: "I think you will not appear here in the future, although everyone in our building is busy, and there are few people gossiping, but no one can guarantee that you will be photographed by the paparazzi next time you appear a few more times, and then it will be 51+1." I don't want to be 52. Yue'er clearly didn't want to be part of his roster.
"You too can be 18." Leon didn't speak in amazement, and spoke very naturally. However, Yue'er's worries are reasonable, although New York is not like Los Angeles full of paparazzi, but it is also full of entertainment, and there has been no rumor so far, probably because the quality of the people in this office building is relatively high. However, Leon himself will know Yue'er because of a previous lawsuit, so it is not impossible to explain that they are really found sitting together. It's just that he's really thinking about it, and if it really gets to that point, how is he going to explain it?
"We really don't fit." Yue'er was quite helpless when she heard his 18. To be honest, she doesn't know how many times she has said this sentence, but the eldest brother in front of her is so dead-eyed that he just doesn't take her words seriously.
"That's why you didn't let me get out of the car to see your brother and sister yesterday?" Leon's words sounded a little sour, and they didn't taste good. Last night, he originally wanted to ask Yue'er to have dinner together, so he waited for her downstairs. In normal times, Yue'er may not be able to get into his car, but she really couldn't get a taxi after waiting for a while, so she agreed to let him send it.
After getting into the car, she realized that she had made an appointment, but after learning that it was her younger siblings who were eating together, Leon was still thinking about how to introduce herself and save the country. Unexpectedly, when she got out of the car, Yue'er waved her hand like she was okay and turned around to leave. He was really angry and helpless, so he could only leave one sentence: "I'll wait for you outside." Thanks to this angry sentence, Yue'er would notify him at the end.
However, Leon never understood, in the past, as long as the women around him were involved in a relationship with him, they were eager to tell the world as soon as possible, of course he also knew that many times they were showing off to him, after all, he was a national male god-level star. But Yue'er is the only one who regards him like a beast and desperately draws a line with him. The thought of this made him a little discouraged.
"I have a new film to start shooting next month, three months." This drama has been in preparation for more than two years, and it is also the highlight of his agenda this year. It's also strange to say, he has won any awards over the years since his debut, and the little golden man has been nominated several times for both the male supporting role and the male lead, but unfortunately he has not received any results so far.
The agent said that it may be that his acting path is too narrow, and he always shoots some handsome roles, but the Oscar judges have always tended to vote for the actors who are "tortured" for the role, so this drama is his important transformation work, and whether he can succeed is very important to his later career.
"Then you have to do your best." Yue'er thought about it in her mind, she was also very busy in the next three months, and several big cases were in the final stage, especially a cross-border merger and acquisition, which can be retired for many people.
It's this attitude again! Leon is really a little annoyed, since the two met, she has always had such a "don't care" attitude, what is he not doing well enough?
"Then will you miss me?" I'm afraid he wants to bite off his tongue when he says this, listen, is this like a word? The dignified male god actually asked this kind of question like a young man who was just starting to fall in love.
"Shoot well, give me a premiere ticket when the time comes, and I will definitely go to the show. It's not early, I'll have to go back to work in a moment. Yue'er didn't answer his question directly, she cleaned up the garbage on the table and crumpled it up and got up and walked to the trash can.
She had just turned to say goodbye, when she saw Leon walking towards her aggressively, grabbing her slender wrist domineeringly, and dragging her to the side of the stairwell.
Fortunately, it was lunchtime, and there were not many people in the coffee shop, so this movement did not attract too many people's side eyes. Leon pushed open the door of the stairwell and wrapped Yue'er in his arms, and the next second his handsome face came up.
"What the hell do you want me to do with you?" The rich scent of cologne, coupled with his sculpture-like face, makes it difficult for the average person to resist this charm.
Yue'er looked directly at his melancholy eyes and praised him seriously: "You are really handsome." As soon as these words came out, Leon's face collapsed, no matter how handsome he was? He already has eaten at her for I don't know how much!
Yue'er continued to explain: "I really think you're handsome. But don't you think it's superficial to fall in love just because of your looks? "Actually, what Yue'er said is both reasonable and unreasonable.
People always say that it is love at first sight, but in fact, it is largely a matter of lust. Probably a person like Leon can indeed rely on his prosperous beauty to be invincible in the love field. But Yue'er has never been a person who only looks at faces, she cares more about whether the two people have a common topic that can never be talked about, and there is a collision of souls.
Although it sounds very ethereal, she really feels that a good relationship can't just stay on a good skin. What's more, she still can't figure out why Leon fell in love with her at first sight. If you want to say that the beauty in the showbiz is blooming everywhere, Yue'er thinks that she can't reach the sexy and charming in the showbiz, and besides, although she doesn't know which 17/51 are the 17, but the 51 girlfriends who have been exposed by the media are all supermodels, and there are no Asians at all.
Yue'er's words are actually what Leon has been thinking about recently. He's not a young man anymore, and dating isn't an uncommon thing, so many years, let alone chasing so hard, there is no girl who let him take the initiative to chase it. Usually he just needs to leave his phone number, and the girl will automatically send it to the door, but this time he ate the iron plate.
He also seriously considered whether it was because he felt faceless that he was so persistent, and whether it was because she was not easy to chase that he was more attractive. So he tried to disappear for a while, only to find that Yue'er's figure lingered and often appeared in his mind.
The first time I was attracted to him was because Yue'er became his lawyer at that time, fighting a property lawsuit for one of his films, and she was deeply impressed by her verbal war with the opposing lawyer during the court defense. And every time I discuss the case with her, she is so serious, focused and dedicated, and the courage of the elite in the workplace is extremely rare. To be honest, Leon feels that over the years, he has rarely been treated as an "ordinary person".
No matter where he goes, no matter who he comes into, his star aura always distinguishes him from ordinary people first, he is the big star first, and then his true self. It's really tiring to live like this.
All of this is the reason why he is devoted to Yue'er, and he hasn't tried to express it, but she doesn't believe it at all, or rather, she just doesn't move. Leon really felt helpless in front of love for the first time, and then he realized that it was so difficult to really chase someone.
"Okay, I'm really going back to work. Filming is hard, take good care of yourself. Yue'er is still so polite and detached, as always.
However, Leon didn't intend to back down this time, his hand held her chin, and the next second was an affectionate kiss, domineering to suck her sweetness, not letting her have room to escape. Yue'er's struggle turned into pandering in a few moments, and the mouth is upright.
I don't know how long the kiss lasted, Leon looked up at her slightly red and swollen lips, and whispered, "Admit it, you have feelings for me." ”
