Chapter Seventy-Seven: Marriage
After a long time, he let go of her: "You have a face that makes people reluctant to kill you." ”
She looked at his eerie and unpredictable face with trembling all over her body, her brain was spinning rapidly, she knew that he had begun to doubt her, and the only way to save herself was to act, she held back the fear in her heart, pretended to be angry and turned her head away, sat on the edge of the bed, and slowly took off her stockings.
"You're an occupational criminal, right, and everyone looks like a spy?" She snorted.
"My occupational disease has saved my life several times and sent many people to the west."
"I'm not, if you insist on saying that I am, I can't help it."
"Hehe, it's good, bold, I like women like you, seriously, Xiao Yun, I don't want to kill you." Xu Enhai walked up to her, stretched out his broad hand and stroked her fair and graceful neck, with an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered in her ear: "I really like you...... But you're just like them...... They all want to hurt me...... Why? ”
His five thick fingers gradually strengthened, and the iron pincers choked Tang Xiaoyun's throat.
She tried to breathe with her mouth open, her face flushed from lack of oxygen, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, and pleaded intermittently: "I'm not...... I'm not ......."
He sneered coldly: "The fake identity they made for you is not complete, they are too anxious, and they urgently need to get the list of underground parties we have mastered from me, your conditions are too good, and you are very smart, so they took the risk to send you to me." Mei Ruoli! He called out her name word for word.
He let go of her neck, turned around and picked up the cigarette case on the table, lit a cigarette, Mei Ruoli lay on the bed weakly, coughing rapidly, adjusting her breathing, just now, she was almost dying, she knew that she had been completely exposed, and it was useless to cover it up, so far, she could only be silent, waiting for his sentence.
"What's your relationship with that Zhou Ruikang?" Xu Enhai asked suddenly.
Ruikang was separated by the wall, and his heart was tight.
"It doesn't matter." She said.
"You have to know, I can know everything I want to know, it's the same whether you say it or not, I ask you, maybe it's your glimmer of life."
Wakari bowed her head and was silent.
"Have you slept with him?" Breathing out a puff of cigarette, he asked with a frown.
Mei Ruoli looked up at him, not understanding why he suddenly asked this? Have you ever slept with Zhou Ruikang, is it so heavy? Isn't her Communist Party identity enough to be shot?
"Nope." She said strongly, wiping away her tears.
Xu Enhai stepped forward, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her up from the bed: "Really? You spent the night together in a small apartment, and you dare to lie to me! He suddenly gritted his teeth in anger, glared at her, and pushed her back to the bed with a heavy thud.
"Why do you have to know? Are you jealous? She sneered.
He slammed the cigarette on the ground, crushed it with his foot, stepped forward and raised his hand to slap her in the face, and roared loudly: "Say! ”
Ruoli was dizzy by him, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, hehe, she suddenly laughed dryly, feeling that she was very ridiculous and pathetic, could it be that the last question she needed to answer before she died was actually her relationship with Zhou Ruikang?
"I said, no."
He still didn't believe her, and Wakari had to smile wryly and say, "He loves my sister deeply, and my sister loves him too, how could I go to sleep with my sister's lover." He slept in the small apartment for the night, but nothing happened to us. She replied dejectedly as she sat on her bed, awaiting his trial and execution.
"He loves your sister? Then how is he with Manlin? ”
"Huh...... It's not that he wants to be with Manlin, it's that Manlin wants to be with him. ”
"Hmm...... I don't care about this, I just want to ask you, would you like to be with me? Xu Enhai said suddenly, which really surprised Mei Ruoli and became a little in a trance.
"You heard me right, I'm asking if you'd like to be with me?"
"But...... You already know who I am. Her eyes were wide open, her face full of doubt, and the tears on her eyelashes had not yet dried.
He also sat on the bed and leaned over and looked at her: "You didn't get any information, and you didn't do anything for them." It's too late for you to get out of them now. ”
Xu Enhai said lightly: "When the two of us had dinner together for the first time, someone was already investigating you, and it didn't take a week for your old bottom to be found out." I haven't actually drunk a single sip of the wine you poured me, and I've sent fake information to those people a few times through you, hehe. He said with some smugness.
"You...... Then why are you still with me? ”
"Because I like you and am fascinated by you." He leaned on the pillow and squinted at her.
She didn't believe his nonsense, she knew that he had many mistresses, she was just one of them, her fingers subconsciously touched the collar, there was a strong poison sewn in it, which made her cut herself off after her identity was exposed, but she didn't want to die, life is precious, survival is the most instinctive will of human beings, she lowered her hand, looked back at him, gave him a delicate smile, and took the initiative to lie on his chest.
Xu Enhai hugged her shoulders and said: "You are a smart person, you must know that there is only one chance, and also, Zhou Ruikang is a talent, I have read his articles, it is very appealing, since you know each other, then find a way to make him work for the party-state." ”
"If you don't go, you'll be jealous again. I have suffered again. ”
"Hehe, as long as you have no personal relationship, I won't be jealous." He rolled over and pressed her under him, and suddenly changed his face and said, "But if you really have something with him, I'll make him die ugly." ”
She raised her eyelashes and showed a smile that she didn't care, she had to show that she didn't care, his fingers gently unbuttoned his shirt, he took off his glasses, he loved her young and beautiful body, kept groping on her body, kissing her, untying her clothes.
Zhou Ruikang covered the small hole, sat down in the chair next to him with a slight tremble, covered his face with his hands, his heart ached, he wanted to cry, Ruoli, Ruoli, God, how dangerous her situation is, and her situation today is all because of the blow to her on that thunderstorm night, if it weren't for her own indifference and cruelty, she should be happily enjoying her youth on the campus of Peking University now, how could she become the mistress of the spy leader, using her body to please a man who can deprive her of her life at any time.
He had to get her out as soon as possible, but how could he do it, even he was under surveillance now. He thought about it, the only way, the only person who could help him, was her, Xu Manlin.
//
Early in the morning, the sun is very good, there is a sumptuous breakfast next to the carved flower bar in the beautiful garden of the Xu family, exquisite Western-style tableware, on the table, toast, honey, coffee pot, butter, cheese, arranged in an orderly manner, and a large bouquet of bright roses is inserted in the middle of the short vase, red roses, yellow roses, white roses, pink roses, with a little starry sky and wheat grass, fragrant and elegant, and a plate of fresh fruits, colorful and even more appetizing.
Xu Ruhai, Xu Enhai, Xu Manlin, Zhou Ruikang and Mei Ruoli sat at the table with their own hearts, silently using their breakfast, surrounded by several servants.
"Big brother, when are you going to leave for the United States?" Xu Enhai asked.
Xu Ruhai put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his glasses and said, "The tenth of next month." ”
"The chairman of the committee will invite you to dinner this Saturday."
"Well, okay. I know what to bring to the feast. Xu Ruhai sighed lightly, and a wry smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
"That's good, the country is in difficulty, and the war is all about money. You know. ”
"I know, I handed over the cloth factory in Chongqing to Song Yuanyang, I don't care."
Xu Manlin, who was on the side, suddenly took her father's hand and said, "Dad, you handed it over to Song Yuanyang, why didn't you give it to Ruikang?" ”
Xu Ruhai looked at his daughter with some surprise, glanced sideways at Zhou Ruikang and said puzzledly, "Give it to him?" ”
"That's right," Xu Manlin floated a shy and happy smile, leaned into his father's ear and whispered a few words, Xu Ruhai suddenly looked at Zhou Ruikang with wide eyes.
"You ghost girl, what's so sneaky, can't even your uncle listen?" Xu Enhai smiled lightly.
Xu Manlin's face turned red and said, "It's not that I can't listen, it's that I'm not ready." ”
Xu Ruhai shook his head and smiled: "The female girl is not staying, cough, I can't help it." ”
"How?"
"Ruikang, it's better for you to make an announcement. This kind of thing can't be announced by a girl's family in Manlin. Xu Ruhai said.
Ruikang looked at Ruoli and nodded: "Man Lin and I plan to get married, and we originally planned to buy a ring today, and we will announce it after the formal proposal, but I didn't expect her to say it first." He smiled, his tone calm.
"Oh?" Xu Enhai also squinted at Mei Ruoli and said with a smile: "This is a happy event." Manlin, uncle, congratulations. If you want a gift, tell your uncle. ”
"Thank you, uncle." She smiled happily like a blooming rose, delicate and sweet like dripping honey, got up and walked over to Ruikang and bent down, leaned over to imprint a kiss on his cheek, he smiled and patted her face gently, and pulled her to sit down.
Xu Ruhai sighed lightly and said to his daughter: "Man Lin, Dad hopes that you can be happy, if you think Ruikang is your wishful husband, Dad blesses you, you can go back to the United States with me after you two get married." ”
"No, no, Dad, Ruikang's parents are in China, how can you ask him to go to the United States? And I also like to stay in China. Ruikang and I didn't finish our studies. ”
"Are you going back to Beiping?"
"No, we will stay in Shanghai for the time being, and then go back to school when the next semester starts." Ruikang said, gently holding Xu Manlin's hand.
Xu Ruhai looked at his daughter's happy demeanor, so he had to compromise, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you're also old, you can arrange it yourself." But the wedding must be held as soon as possible, and after attending your wedding, I can leave with peace of mind. ”
Mei Ruoli put down the coffee cup casually, chuckled and said, "Bless you, you are really talented and beautiful." ”
This is a secretive breakfast, four of the five people sitting here know the secret in Zhou Ruikang's heart, but they all bless Xu Manlin, the future bride, with a smile on their faces.

More than a week later, a marriage notice was published in major newspapers in Shanghai, which caused three young people in a small bungalow in the alley to exclaim together.
"Oh my God, it's really them, Zhou Ruikang and Xu Manlin are getting married!" Cheng Jiawei's surprised eyes fell out when he held the newspaper.
"It's really them." Cheng Jiaqi's heart sank, he was finally going to marry Xu Manlin.
“…… On May 20..... Peace Hotel...... Zhu Yafen snatched the newspaper from Cheng Jiawei and read: "That is next Saturday, no matter what, I finally found him." What are you going to do? ”
"Seriously, when he was going to get out of the marriage, I thought he had a crush on some fairy goddess, but in the end, he was just an unbearable ordinary man, greedy for wealth and wealth, climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix."
"Brother, don't say that."
"I'm fighting for you, what is better than you in addition to Xu Manlin's family background? He wants to retire from our family's family affairs alive or dead, but now he wants to marry Xu Manlin, isn't it for the sake of wealth and nobility? ”
"Hey, Jiaqi, I can't figure it out, you and Ruikang met first, and we played so well, he didn't have feelings for you, why did you get married halfway through Xu Manlin?" Zhu Yafen shook his head and said.
"Oh, feelings are inexplicable, maybe they are in love." Jiaqi sighed, thinking of poor Mei Ruojun in the courtyard of the Zhou family in Beiping, and thinking of the poor self who left her home to find someone thousands of miles away, her heart was full of helplessness and sadness, she said softly:
"In any case, we are also friends, if you don't know, it's fine, since you know, you should always go to congratulate."
"Daoga? I guess people don't want us to show up at all. Jiawei still said angrily.
"It would be nice if Ziyan was here, he and Zhou Ruikang are the most close and know his heart best." Zhu Yafen straightened her stomach, looked out the window, and sighed with a sad face.
"Yafen ......" Jiaqi stepped forward to help her sit down, wishing Yafen more than seven months pregnant.
"Jiaqi, Jiawei, thank you so much for stopping your studies and coming to Shanghai to take care of me."
"It's okay, we're friends, the current situation is so chaotic, what can't you study, you can read the book later, but you and the baby in your belly can't afford to wait." Jia Wei smiled and said, "Hey, my godfather can't escape." ”
"Okay, okay, okay." Zhu Yafen smiled: "I can't go to Ruikang's wedding, Ziyan's identity is sensitive now, and Xu Manlin's background is ...... Ahem, anyway, don't talk about us. ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at the pair of crystal dolls on the dresser, a little boy playing the violin, and a little girl dancing, and sighed: "This pair of crystal figures is still the engagement gift that Ruikang gave us." Ziyan and I both like it quite a bit. Wherever we go, we are cautious and cautious to take with us. I really miss the closeness and carefree we had when we were at school. ”
The thoughts of the three of them flew back to the night when Xu Ziyan and Zhu Yafen got engaged at the Beijing Hotel.
"Hey, and my little tiger?" Cheng Jiawei's eyes flashed and he asked urgently.
"Ouch, no one can forget your little tiger, don't you see?" Zhu Yafen smiled and pointed to the middle of the pillow on the bed, and sure enough, the cute stuffed tiger was sitting between the two pillows with a smile.
All three couldn't help but laugh.
