Chapter Seventy-Three: Bumping into each other

"Do you want to go back to the compound?" Sang Zhi looked at the scenery outside the car window and realized that this was not the way home, but the direction of the military compound.

"A chief's birthday, would you like to go with me?" Men Shaoting asked as he drove.

The corners of Sang Zhi's mouth twitched, and he asked if he was willing to go over together, could he not go if he said he didn't want to?

Thinking of this, Sang Zhi couldn't help but want to tease him.

"If I said I didn't want to, could I not go?"

Unexpectedly, Men Shaoting nodded seriously, still not squinting, but said very seriously, "If you don't want to go, I'll send you back to your parents first, and then go over by yourself." ”

It's all in one compound anyway, drop by!

Sang Zhi pursed his lips, "Who's having a birthday, you want to give some gifts, right?" ”

Hearing her say this, Men Shaoting couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, "That is, are you willing to go with me?" ”

Sang Zhi rolled his eyes, did he say he didn't want to?

"What does the chief like, should we go and choose a suitable gift for others first?" Sang Zhi ignored Men Shaoting's question and took the initiative to ask.

"Hmm...... He likes calligraphy and painting, and I've already chosen an ink painting in the trunk. Men Shaoting replied without thinking.

Sang Zhi shrugged her shoulders, she should have thought that Men Shaoting would definitely prepare a gift, and she simply asked this question.

She doesn't know any calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and she can't help at all!

"I forgot, you're an expert at drawing." Sang Zhi couldn't help laughing at himself, "I don't know anything about calligraphy and painting, it's really a lot of questions." ”

"Huh?" Men Shaoting turned his head and looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "There is a strong sour taste in the words, angry?" Because I didn't tell you before? ”

"Not really!" Sang Zhi twisted his head out of the car window, his eyes staring out, but his heart was just as Men Shaoting said, with an unconscious sour taste.

Seeing that she didn't speak or look at herself, Men Shaoting chuckled, "Really angry?" I also received a notice in the afternoon to let me come over, thinking that you and Xiao Fei were shopping, so I went to the calligraphy and painting market to pick a pair at random. ”

Sang Zhi was actually not angry in her heart, but she was a little disappointed, feeling that she was completely out of the affairs of Men Shaoting, as if she was an outsider, this feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Now that Men Shaoting took the initiative to explain, Sang Zhi felt a lot more comfortable.

"I'm not angry, I just don't know anything about you, as if I'm an outsider." Sang Zhi pouted with a bit of anger.

Men Shaoting chuckled, grabbed her little hand and kissed it on her lips, "I was wrong, in the future, I will ask my wife for instructions on everything, and my wife will only do it when she allows it, is this okay?" ”

Sang Zhi was amused by his serious appearance and laughed out loud.

Forcefully pulled out his hand and patted him on the leg, "Poor mouth! ”

Men Shaoting's car drove into the compound, and did not go back to his home, but turned into another road and drove to a villa not far away.

followed Men Shaoting to get out of the car, and was led by him to a lawn in front of the villa.

In front of the door, Ye Quinoa was dressed in a lilac bandeau evening dress, her hair was tied up high from the back of her head to form a bun, and the whole person looked dignified, elegant and generous.

was beckoning the guests to come in, and at a glance he saw Men Shaoting walking over holding Sang Zhi's hand, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "Shaoting, you are here." ”

Men Shaoting looked at Ye Quinoa's eyes calmly, only nodded lightly, and led the mulberry branch inside.

The moment Sang Zhi passed by Ye Quinoa's side, Ye Quinoa smiled: "Sang Zhi, welcome to my father's birthday party." ”

Sang Zhi paused, slightly stunned, it turned out that the head of the door Shaoting's mouth was Ye Quinoa's father.

He politely bent the corners of his mouth and nodded, and followed the door Shaoting into the villa.

There were already a lot of people in the living room on the first floor at this time, this was a buffet-style banquet, everyone took their favorite food very casually with a plate, and chatted with people they knew while eating.

Men Shaoting took the mulberry branch to find Ye Jianhua in the crowd and walked over.

"Happy birthday, chief." He saluted.

Ye Jianhua saw Men Shaoting patting him on the shoulder and smiled: "Well, you kid will always be so energetic." ”

Sang Zhi handed over the painting scroll prepared by the door Shaoting with both hands, "I wish Uncle Ye a happy birthday, Shaoting said that you like calligraphy and painting, and I don't know if the one we chose will not be able to enter your eyes." ”

Ye Jianhua looked at Sang Zhi and nodded with a smile, and took the scroll.

When opened, this is an ink landscape painting, with a far-reaching artistic conception, giving people a sense of tranquility and far-reaching.

Sang Zhi doesn't know how to draw, but he also thinks this is a good painting.

"Well, the painting style is delicate and the overall layout is generous and reasonable, yes, Uncle likes this painting, I accept it, thank you." Ye Jianhua said and asked people to put away the painting scroll and put it upstairs in his study.

Men Shaoting said lightly: "It's good if the chief likes it." ”

Ye Jianhua frowned, looked Men Shaoting up and down, and said with some displeasure: "Why, after so many years, you still refuse to call me uncle, you want me to bring this wish to the coffin!" ”

Men Shaoting smiled, "The chief said with a smile. ”

Sang Zhi vaguely guessed that the estrangement between Men Shaoting and Ye Jianhua was probably because of Ye Quinoa's relationship, so he was busy playing a round: "Uncle Ye is on his birthday today, don't say that kind of unlucky words." ”

Ye Jianhua smiled bitterly: "Today's pomp and circumstance are all made by Ye Quinoa's girl, just eat a bowl of noodles according to me, after so many years, how can I have a birthday." But I can't resist her, she didn't say that this was the first birthday she gave me after returning to China, so I arranged it for her, I didn't expect such a big battle to make you laugh. ”

Seeing that the young court was silent, Sang Zhi smiled: "Miss Ye is also a filial piety." ”

A few old colleagues came, Ye Jianhua went over to say hello, and Men Shaoting led Sang Zhi to find a corner by the window and sat down, "What do you want to eat?" I'll get it for you. ”

Sang Zhi didn't feel hungry, and shook his head with a smile: "Just drink a glass of juice." ”

Men Shaoting nodded and got up to get it, and Sang Zhi looked at the room full of people he didn't know, feeling a little bored.

"Sister-in-law, alone, what about Shaoting?"

Sang Zhi raised his head, and the person who came was Ye Chenze, Ye Quinoa's cousin.

Smiled and nodded, "Hello." ”

Seeing that Sang Zhi was so polite to him, Ye Chenze was also a little embarrassed for a while, and scratched his hair, "Can I sit down?" ”

Sang Zhi thinks it's funny, he is the guest, he is the host, why is it a bit anti-guest now?

Nodding, "Of course you can." ”

Ye Chenze sat down, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and looked the mulberry branch up and down.

Sang Zhi was a little furious by her, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with me? ”

Ye Chenze smiled: "No, don't get me wrong, I just think there is something wrong with your dress, a face shape like yours is actually more suitable for short haircuts, short hair can highlight your beauty more, and besides, your dress is too conservative and dull, obviously much older than you." ”

Sang Zhi looked at Ye Chenze funny, "I didn't expect you to know how to be fashionable." ”

Ye Chenze said and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Sang Zhi: "What kind of hotel entertainment industry, that's just my side business, this is my job." ”

Sang Zhi looked at Ye Chenze's title on the business card, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Internationally renowned stylist." I can't see that you're really in the fashion industry. ”

Ye Chenze pulled his decent suit, grabbed his equally decent hair, and sneered: "It doesn't look like it, does it?" It's not all because of my son and my second uncle, they said that if I dared to make something weird, they would break my legs. ”

Sang Zhi was amused by Ye Chenze's helpless expression.

The two chatted like this, Ye Chenze gave Sang Zhi a lot of advice on how to dress up conveniently, although Sang Zhi may not really clean himself up as he said, but he still listened to it with relish.

After chatting for a long time, Sang Zhi felt a little thirsty, and he didn't see Men Shaoting come back.

couldn't help but raise his eyes to look around, but he didn't find Men Shaoting in the crowd.

"Looking for Shaoting?" Ye Chenze looked at Sang Zhi's searching eyes and couldn't help but ask.

Sang Zhi shook his head and chuckled, "I'm just a little thirsty. ”

Then you wait, I'll get you juice.

Ye Chenze said as he got up and was about to go to the beverage area.

Sang Zhi was embarrassed to trouble others, so he quickly got up and grabbed him.

"I'll just go by myself, you can rest."

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Chenze to object, he had already walked towards the beverage area.

I took a glass of orange juice for myself and took a sip, and Sang Zhi suddenly wanted to go out to breathe, there were too many people here, and I felt a little depressed.

Thinking in his heart, he walked out unconsciously with the cup.

When she herself entered, she saw a small garden at the back of the villa, which was supposed to be quiet and not disturb others.

Mulberry Branch exited the main entrance and walked along the cobblestone path to the garden at the back.

"Shaoting, you hate me so much? Don't you want to look me in the eye? In the small pavilion in the garden, Ye Quinoa looked at the man standing in front of him with a resentful expression.

"It was my willfulness at the beginning, it was all my fault, but I have been punished for so many years, can't you forgive me?" Seeing that Men Shaoting was silent, Ye Quinoa reached out and grabbed his shoulder with some excitement.

Men Shaoting lightly glanced at Ye Quino's hand holding his shoulder, "Let go." The tone was faint, and the slightest emotional fluctuation could not be heard.

Ye Quinoa's body trembled, and he was a little hit by the indifference of Men Shaoting.

"I won't let go!" Taking a deep breath, he hugged him tightly with the courage to put his head on his chest, "Shaoting, don't say that you don't have feelings for me, I can feel that you still have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't be so indifferent to me." ”

Ye Quinoa seemed to have made up her guess, and wrapped her arms around Men Shaoting's waist even harder.

"You know what? I'm doing this birthday for my dad all for you, and I know that's the only way to get you over and find the opportunity to be alone with you. ”

Ye Quinoa couldn't help but close his eyes unwillingly as he spoke, and began to kiss Door Shaoting's solid chest through his clothes.

Men Shaoting reached out and broke Ye Quinoa's hands around his waist, gently pushed her away from his embrace, and said lightly: "I have a wife, and I love her very much." ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ye Quinoa rushed up and hugged him from behind.

"There is no love between you, there is no love at all, what you love in your heart is still me, you just don't dare to admit it, you don't dare to face it!"

"Let go!" Door Shaoting's cold voice sounded, and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the figure fleeing in a hurry, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
