Chapter 146: Self-deception

"Hello, Elsa!" As soon as he left the gymnasium, a blonde man in a suit and leather shoes walked over.

I only heard the man smile and said: "I read your design, I think it is very in line with our company's design concept, if you are interested, you can contact me at any time." ”

As he spoke, a delicate business card was handed over.

VIE women's clothing brand?

Seeing the words drawn with gold dust on the business card, Zuo Xinxin's eyes couldn't help but widen.

This is an internationally renowned long-established womenswear brand, and her mentor Chrissy used to be a design director here, which can be described as one of the companies that designers aspire to.

Zuo Xinxin took the business card, exchanged a few words with the man, and said goodbye to each other.

Under the envious gaze of many designers around her, she put the business card in her hand into her bag and went to the place Tang Mingcheng said.

So far, she hasn't thought about changing jobs, not only because Xiao Cheng Xiaoai is abroad, but also for deeper reasons.

After this tour, Zuo Xinxin suddenly had an idea in her mind, that is, to set up her own studio.

But the idea was fleeting, after all, the studio didn't just want to be found.

She still has a long way to go.

The café is not far away, Tang Mingcheng is sitting by the window, and he can see it as soon as he enters.

"Don't tell me this is another piece of clothing in your closet." Zuo Xinxin walked over and sat down, and glanced at the thin black trench coat on the side, which was different from the last time.

It seems that he is used to wearing a white coat at work, so most of Tang Mingcheng's private clothes are black and gray, coupled with a delicate face wearing gold wire glasses, he is mature and stable.

Tang Mingcheng smiled when he heard this: "It's unfortunate that you have been right." ”

The two chuckled.

Zuo Xinxin took off her coat, revealing a well-made elegant cheongsam skirt, and Tang Mingcheng's eyes were almost straight.

Not only that, but the people near the café looked over in amazement.

"What to drink, Machiatto?" Tang Mingcheng, who came back to his senses, helped his glasses, he had been waiting here and hadn't ordered coffee.

Zuo Xinxin nodded noncommittally.

Soon, two cups of machidoya were delivered. The inner surface of the cup is covered with a dense layer of snow-white milk foam, which is covered with caramel sauce and then crossed in a lattice.

This is Zuo Xinxin's favorite coffee, not one of them.

In recent years, Tang Mingcheng has explored Zuo Xinxin's preferences clearly. For example, she had a natural fear of people who wore white.

This is a problem left over from when she was in a very bad mood. At that time, Zuo Xinxin suffered from postpartum depression, and she washed her face with tears all day long, and the most she saw were nurses and doctors in professional uniforms, so that her psychology caused a shadow. So during that time, when I saw someone wearing white, I was subconsciously a little scared.

Tang Mingcheng also began to wear cold-colored clothes from that time, although Zuo Xinxin later changed this problem, but he formed a habit.

Thinking of this, Tang Mingcheng's eyes crossed a touch of imperceptible tenderness.

"The tour is great, you're really good right now, I see you, it's all there

It's a feeling of seeing a star. Tang Mingcheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zuo Xinxin couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't make fun of me." ”

"Xinxin, you have really changed a lot after returning to China this time, and I am happy for you."

Hearing him say this, Zuo Xinxin smiled: "You too." ”

Looking at the woman with a shallow smile in front of him, a certain longing in Tang Mingcheng's eyes was about to come out.

"Xinxin, are you happy now?"

This question he wanted to ask for a long time, but he didn't have a chance to meet last time, so this time, he must get an answer.

Zuo Xinxin was stunned when she heard this, looking at Tang Mingcheng's face full of affection, she unconsciously avoided this burning gaze, and said softly: "Brother Mingcheng, I believe you have also seen that my fiancé is very good to me, but thank you for caring about me so much." ”

As the words fell, Tang Mingcheng frowned.

"Xinxin, do you even want to deceive me?" Tang Mingcheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he also laughed a little at his unrelenting actions.

He did see that video online.

The handsome, dashing, young and promising entrepreneur took Zuo Xinxin's hand and announced their relationship to the whole country and even the world.

But Tang Mingcheng scoffed at the lie that the man had made up about being in love for five years.

When he saw Zuo Xinxin for the first time, she was so thin that she was lying on the hospital bed, her eyes were radiant, except for mentioning the child, her face changed slightly, and the rest of the time she looked out the window in a daze, just crying inexplicably.

If that man loved Zuo Xinxin, he would not let her work alone in a foreign country to have children and fight.

What is the five-year love history, in order to protect the child, he chose to keep a low profile, and Tang Mingcheng is nothing here.

He didn't believe that the two would really get engaged, and he didn't believe that Zuo Xinxin would marry that man.

On the contrary, Tang Mingcheng was very worried about Zuo Xinxin's situation, he knew that she was strong, and it was impossible for her to return to that man for fame and fortune.

He believes that Zuo Xinxin must have been threatened to get to where she is today. Because of this, when he learned that Zuo Xinxin was going back to country Y to tour the exhibition, he couldn't wait to come back.

He wants to understand Zuo Xinxin's current situation, so that she can act at any time when she needs help.

As soon as Tang Mingcheng said this, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Zuo Xinxin was stunned, and then showed a comforting smile: "I'm really fine, you don't have to worry, by the way, how is your work recently, I remember that someone wanted to dig you up before returning to China......"

"Shin Shin!"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Tang Mingcheng.

"Don't make a fool of yourself anymore, you don't like that man at all, don't you, why do you have to pretend to be very happy, you say, what difficulties you encounter, as long as you say it, I will definitely help you solve this problem."

Tang Mingcheng couldn't stand Zuo Xinxin making excuses to avoid him, and he couldn't accept Zuo Xinxin's grievances.

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and subconsciously reached out to hold Zuo Xinxin's hand, but was so startled by Zuo Xinxin that he dodged.

This dodge accidentally knocked over the cup on the table, and half of the brown coffee was spilled

The table, on his hands, on his gray shirt, and on his legs.

Tang Mingcheng has a habit of cleanliness, which suddenly made him at a loss.

Zuo Xinxin was also startled, and hurriedly brought him a tissue to help him wipe the coffee stains on his shirt.

"Are you alright, did you get hot?" Zuo Xinxin frowned, and seemed to reflect that what she said just now was a kind of harm to Tang Mingcheng to some extent.

I felt guilty all the time.

"It's okay......"

Tang Mingcheng condescendingly looked at Zuo Xinxin, whose little face was slightly wrinkled, and suddenly had an urge to take her into his arms.

He pursed his lips, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses fell on Zuo Xinxin's delicate face, and he finally sighed secretly: "No need to wipe it, just go back and change your body." ”

Zuo Xinxin knew his style of acting, so he nodded.

"It's not early, didn't you just take half a day off, go back early, be careful of delaying work."

"Hmm...... I'll send you back first. In fact, Tang Mingcheng still wanted to stay with Zuo Xinxin for a while, but he was really uncomfortable, he really couldn't stand it, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Zuo Xinxin.

Zuo Xinxin knew that he was kind, and he did not refuse.

Originally, Tang Mingcheng wanted to rest in the café with Zuo Xinxin, then find a place to have a meal together, and then send her back, but this one jumped directly to the last link.

Some are depressed, and some laugh at themselves for not being calm.

Out of the café, Tang Mingcheng took Zuo Xinxin into a silver-gray car, with a faint fragrance of gardenias floating in the car, and a pink pig hanging in front of it.

That was given to Tang Mingcheng by Xiao Ai when he returned to China.

I didn't expect him to put it here.

Zuo Xinxin felt more and more guilty in her heart, but she didn't know how to persuade Tang Mingcheng to let go of her heart.

Perhaps, time is the best medicine.

Along the way, neither of them spoke, Tang Mingcheng saw Zuo Xinxin looking out the window through the rearview mirror, a pair of watery eyes were shining, which was heartwarming.

Maybe he was too offended.

Knowing that Zuo Xinxin has now announced her relationship with her fiancé, and the two of them have a pair of lovely children, he also said those reverie words.

This is a kind of dilemma for Zuo Xinxin.

Although there was still a voice in his heart shouting unwillingly, Tang Mingcheng had already regained his senses at this time and pressed the uneasy emotion back into his heart.

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the hotel.

Without waiting for Zuo Xinxin's reaction, Tang Mingcheng got out of the car and came over and opened the car door for her.

Zuo Xinxin had no choice but to get out of the car under his careful protection, evoking a light smile: "Thank you, pay attention to safety on the road." ”

As she spoke, she walked past him and walked towards the entrance of the hotel.

"Shin Shin."

didn't take a few steps, Tang Mingcheng's voice sounded behind him. Zuo Xinxin stood still, but did not look back.

Tang Mingcheng looked at the elegant back and slowed down his tone: "Today is my abruptness, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

Zuo Xinxin's heart moved when she heard this, turned around and nodded at him with a smile, and then walked into the door of the hotel.

Until Zuo Xinxin's figure disappeared, Tang Mingcheng was still standing

Situ.

After a few minutes, he blinked his somewhat dry glasses, finally glanced at the place where Zuo Xinxin disappeared, and turned to get into the car.

The car is filled with the familiar scent of gardenias, and a pink piggy pendant hangs in front.

It's as if the person in his heart is by his side in another way.

Tang Mingcheng raised his hand, as if he wanted to untie the pink pig pendant, but he withdrew his hand halfway.

Sighing, Tang Mingcheng smiled self-deprecatingly, stepped on the accelerator, and galloped away in an unknown direction.

At this time, his heart was very confused.

Back at the hotel, Zuo Xinxin did not return to her room, but knocked directly in front of Lu Xuan's door.

Because she knew that if she didn't come over first, she would be able to stand it according to Lu Xuan's character later.

"Good! This old guy really deserves it! ”

Zuo Xinxin hadn't seen Lu Xuan's person yet, and through the door, she had already heard her loud voice. This can't help but make Zuo Xinxin a little puzzled. What happened to this?

Lu Xuan opened the door and saw that it was Zuo Xinxin, so he couldn't help but pull him closer to the room, closed the door and dragged Zuo Xinxin to the bed.

"Xinxin, look, look at your phone, this old guy, their family treated you like that before, it's not that they didn't report it, but now the country finally can't help but take action and control this old immortal enterprise!"

Lu Xuan shouted loudly, his voice full of joy. Zuo Xinxin didn't react at first, but when she saw the revelations on Lu Xuan's mobile phone Weibo, she was instantly stunned.
