Chapter 211: Opportunity
At this moment, a hurried phone ringing interrupted the ambiguity flowing between the two.
Yue'er took out her mobile phone from her bag with relief, this time it was not Lu's mother, it was Lu Yichen.
When he was training at the club at halftime, he casually took out his mobile phone and saw the explosive news. So I hurriedly called my sister to ask for a certificate.
"Sister, what's the situation? Are you engaged to Leon? Ever since he came back from New York, he'd been trying to find a way to get in touch with Chris, and he had contacted everyone he could think of, but nothing else had been heard from him except to be sure that he had accepted the job at the United Nations.
Lu Yichen and even his father's old friend, Aunt Zheng, who also works at the United Nations, have been contacted. But Aunt Zheng inquired and said that he had not yet taken office.
Haven't been in office for so long? Lu Yichen is dying, what is this Chris doing in New York!
He didn't believe that Chris went to New York and had nothing to do with Yue'er, so even if he dug three feet into the ground, he had to find out Brother Chris.
As a result, before this head could be found, Leon's side actually officially announced the news of the engagement. Lu Yichen's whole person is not good... This is not like the style of the eldest sister.
But after thinking about it again, Sister Yue'er is different from him and Fei'er, after all, she is already a mature working woman, she has been alone for so many years, but this Leon is so handsome, and she is still a master of love, maybe it is really a thunderbolt, and it is not impossible to get married.
Thinking of this, Lu Yichen is really anxious for Chris, where are you, brother? ?
Faced with Lu Yichen's problem, Yue'er was much calmer.
"No, he's just joking with everybody. Is your sister such a child's playful person? β
"No, I don't think you can be that kind of person. That's why I felt so fast that it scared me to death. β
Leon, who was on the side, looked at Yue'er and mouthed seriously, "It's not a joke!" β
Yue'er ignored him and continued to answer Lu Yichen.
"Sister,... Didn't Chris contact you? Lu Yichen finally mustered up the courage to test Yue'er, if there is no news after asking so many people, it is better to ask the eldest sister directly.
The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, and then Yue'er spit out the word "no".
"Is it really not once?" Lu Yichen did not give up.
"Not really, I don't think he's going to come to me." In fact, Yue'er's thoughts were the same as Lu Yichen's, and she also had a glimmer of hope in her heart after knowing that Chris took the initiative to transfer to New York.
But since then, he has returned, but he has never appeared. After all, it's still self-inflicted...
"Sister, is it convenient for you to speak now?" Lu Yichen was relieved to hear her sister say that she was not engaged, however, Leon said that his fiancΓ©e was taking care of him, does this mean that Yue'er went to Canada to find him? But he asked again.
Yue'er glanced at the man beside her, and felt that she didn't seem to have anything to hide from him. Whether she and Leon were going to move forward or not, she didn't want to hide anything about her past.
"Convenient, you say."
"If Chris comes to you now, will there be a turnaround between you?" Since he knew the real reason why Chris broke up with his sister, Lu Yichen often thought about this matter and felt very sad.
At that time, he was too young to understand anything, but now that he has grown up, and as a man, he doesn't dare to say that he can empathize with everything, after all, the pain Chris has experienced, even an outsider like him doesn't even dare to imagine...
"He probably won't come looking for me." Yue'er squeezed out a very reluctant smile bitterly.
Lu Yichen carefully found that she did not answer her question positively.
What is a Lawyer? A lawyer is the one who will be aggressive over and over again when someone does not answer a question directly during a court argument and force the other party to face the question directly.
Many times suspects or witnesses are afraid to answer questions directly because of their weak hearts, and Yue'er can't even understand this truth.
Lu Yichen suddenly felt that there seemed to be a play, so he took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "Then what if he comes to you?" Just tell me if there is any possibility between you? "This kind of spirit of breaking the casserole and asking questions is quite suitable for being a lawyer.
ββ¦ I told you he wasn't going to come to me. β
Lu Yichen knew when he asked this, well, since this is the case, he will not give up, he must find Chris. Unless he heard him say to give up, Lu Yichen would definitely support him!
Out of politeness, Yue'er didn't make a sound during the call with Lu Yichen, just quietly listened to her finish her words until she hung up the phone.
Although he didn't speak, he probably knew what they were talking about from Yue'er's reply. Frankly speaking, he especially likes Yue'er.
She has always been a very frank woman, sincere and unpretentious. It is precisely because of this that the only thing she admitted before has kept Leon haunted.
"Are you talking about your one-of-a-kind?" Leon pretended not to care, but didn't know that the smell of lemon in the air was about to rush out of the room.
"Hmm." Yue'er replied very cheerfully.
Her cheerfulness made Leon almost suffocate his internal injuries.
"What's wrong?"
"No, my brother asked me if he had come to me."
"Is he in New York too?" Leon's heart sank suddenly.
"I guess, I don't know. I heard that I was transferred to New York not long ago. Job changes. Yue'er replied truthfully.
When he heard that Chris was in New York, Leon felt sick. Everyone knows the truth that the building near the water gets the moon first. What's more, they just said that Leon's home base is in Los Angeles, and Yue'er obviously doesn't approve of long-distance relationships... That's a lot of questions.
Thinking of this, Leon took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the director, but when he saw that the time was not early, he sent a text message instead.
Early tomorrow morning, when the doctor comes to do rounds, he will definitely ask when he can be discharged from the hospital, and he can't continue to grind in the hospital. I have to hurry back to the crew and finish filming.
After sending the text message, he looked at Yue'er and finally asked his curious question.
"After so many years, why haven't you tried to fall in love again?" Is it because you're still thinking about that person? Leon swallowed the latter sentence raw.
ββ¦ Well, I haven't met the right one, plus I'm very busy with my studies, and I'm even busier when I work. β
After thinking about it, Yue'er still honestly confided in him: "Moreover, I can't forget him for a long time. I often dream of him and wake up. β
Ever since she learned that Chris had gone to a war-torn area where the smoke of gunfire was constant, Yue'er had been living in trepidation.
It's also ironic to say that Chris thinks that breaking up can save Yue'er and let her get relief.
But he didn't know how selfish he was to think so, he underestimated Yue'er and the feelings between them.
When he was desperate on the battlefield, how could Yue'er have a real quiet time?
Every time there were casualties of U.S. troops on the news of the military sector, those news and figures touched her heart, for fear that she would see the names she dared not face, but she forced herself to read them word for word.
No one knows how unpleasant it was to be tortured. Chris was gone for a few years, and she lived a few years like this.
Even so, she never hated because she understood.
Leon was very moved by Yue'er's honesty, even though the thought of her midnight dreams made him jealous.
"And now?" He asked cautiously.
"I don't dream anymore now." This is also the truth, in fact, the original worry and worry were because he was in the chaos of war and was in danger, and now that he has returned safely, Yue'er is indeed relieved.
On the day when she knew the news that the terrorist leader was killed, she didn't stay up late for the first time, she took a shower early and fell asleep deeply, feeling that she hadn't slept so sweetly for many years, and the feeling of relief when a big stone fell to the ground in her heart was really happy...
Leon silently walked up to her, sat down quietly, gently wrapped her slender jade fingers, and asked tenderly, "Give me a chance, okay?" β
He expressed this appeal from the bottom of his heart, wanting to get Yue'er's affirmative answer.
"After working for so many years, today is my first time as a miner, I didn't eat lunch, I spent 1,500 dollars to buy a plane ticket, I flew for more than five hours and vomited once in the middle of the flight, I got off the plane and drove for another hour and a half to come here, and now I can only sit in the hospital bed with you and eat takeout with the smell of disinfectant water..."
Before Yue'er finished speaking, he was tightly wrapped around by a strong arm, clinging to his chest, and Yue'er could clearly feel his powerful heartbeat.
"So, did you say yes?"
"I said three months of testing..."Until this moment, Yue'er never gave up her principles. She was just willing to give him this opportunity.
Well, at least she gave it a chance, and that was enough, because Leon knew he would take it. Now he can't wait to be discharged from the hospital, and return to her as soon as possible after filming, so that he can feel safe.
Security? Those three words suddenly struck him a little funny, because it was all something his predecessors complained that he couldn't give them. It's really a good reincarnation of heaven, and feng shui takes turns...
Because such a hug was too intimate, Leon felt her delicate curves, and shamefully found that he had a strange feeling, and the feeling of not being able to eat was too uncomfortable, so he could only let go helplessly, walked to the bed again, and felt a few things from his carry-on bag.
Walking up to Yue'er again, he handed over a bunch of keys and a card.
Yue'er raised her head suspiciously, her eyes full of question marks.
"This is the key to my New York apartment, and this is my credit card."
He couldn't help but stuff two things into Yue'er's hands, as if he felt that this was an extra bit of a bond.
Yue'er didn't refuse, and knew that he wouldn't let herself refuse, so she silently put the things in her bag, and didn't even ask him where his home was, just to keep the key for him, and she also gave Nate a copy of the key to the house, so as not to need it from time to time.
"Swipe my card in the future." Leon added.
"I don't like to owe people money."
"I don't need you to pay it back." Leon blurted out.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch, everything has a price tag. You don't have to pay me back, then I need to pay you back. But I don't like that, and if we really start, I want the relationship to be more pure and unadulterated with any impurities. I don't feel right to spend your money just because of your feelings for me. Probably feeling that her rationality was too direct, Yue'er added from a legal point of view, "Unless one day we get married and the property is shared after marriage, then I must not mind managing all the assets for my husband." β
Leon squinted at her, like a cheetah looking at its prey, "Then you can take it, sooner or later." β
