71. I'm going to sue him
The night was deep, and the weight of the night weighed down the earth.
In the garden of the venue, Lin Xu was smoking, and across from him, sat a woman who was only familiar to him.
"You don't want to come to this banquet, do you?" She spoke.
The voice was not offensive, the smoke spit out from his mouth and dispersed in front of his eyes, Lin Xu was inexplicably irritable, he ripped off his glasses and put them on the cold stone table.
"To be precise, I regretted it after I came. You find that the An family is not as strong as you think, and An Li is not worth your time. The woman said.
"What do you want to say?" Lin Xu asked.
"I want to say that twenty-two years old is a very good age." The woman said, with envy in her tone.
Lin Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Beautiful ......"
"Don't you want to know who I am?"
At the corner of the garden path, a huge black shadow flashed, and Lin Xu couldn't help but pause when the black shadow passed in front of him.
He smelled a familiar smell.
"What does it have to do with me?"
As the words fell, he got up, took a step, and followed the shadow unhurriedly.
Mu Xin woke up again, and it was in the car after Yu.
From the bustling ballroom to the quiet carriage, Mu Xin felt as if she had been transferred in an instant.
Empress Yu was opening the window and smoking, thinking about what had just happened, what did the person say, "Why do you care about it", did you want him not to say a word? But his face was visibly colored.
Empress Yu sighed softly, he had never seen a businessman so brave and helpful.
"Is An Qin's birthday party over?"
"That's right," Empress Yu extinguished the cigarette butt and turned her head to look at her, with a bit of unclear meaning in her eyes, "An Li dares to drink everything you give, why are you so stupid?" β
Stupidity?
Mu Xin frowned, remembering the scene before she fainted, there seemed to be a very smug smile in front of An Li, she was excited, and covered her shoulders with both hands.
Empress Yu was inexplicably amused when she saw her vigilant appearance that was two hours late.
"Don't worry, you're fine."
"An Li, this bastard, I'm going to sue him!"
Empress Yu raised her eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Evidence?" β
Mu Xin raised his voice: "I am a witness, and I can detect the ingredients in the coffee from my body." β
"It's clearly the medicine that makes the coffee." Empress Yu said lightly.
"You!" Mu Xin sat up straight and looked at him in astonishment, "How did you save me?" β
Empress Yu was silent for a few seconds, and then brought out the set of rhetoric she had just thought of: "The banquet hall can't find you, I went to the garden to look for it, and you are sleeping on the stone table." β
"You didn't see An Li?"
Empress Yu said: "No, you don't have any witnesses now, only one-sided words, do you still sue?" β
In fact, he really didn't see An Li, he had been socializing all the time, and it was an adaptation student who led him to the garden, and then the man carried him the woman who slept very sweetly in his arms.
Mu Xin gritted his teeth angrily, "Shouldn't this kind of person be punished by the law!" β
The corners of Yuhou's lips hooked, law?
Both of them stopped talking, Mu Xin didn't have any emotion for the rest of her life, and Yu Houquan didn't notice what happened when she fell asleep, so she didn't have too much emotion except for hating An Li.
The car drove to the beach.
"Empress Yu, why did you refuse An Qin's invitation just now, she is your fiancΓ©e today, she will be sad if you do this, although she seems to be quite strong in her heart." Mu Xin took off his shoes and held them in his hands, stepping on the soft fine sand step by step carefully, which was extremely comfortable.
"Are you blaming me?" He asked, gently closing the door.
"How dare you, just ask." She didn't smile.
"Didn't you say it, I'm your boyfriend?" His tone was soft, as if he didn't have any emotion.
I've only considered dancing with someone.
He didn't have the courage to say it, and there were some things that were hard to say and couldn't be said.
Empress Yu clearly sensed that subtle emotions had begun to spread between the two of them, and even if they could not curb their development, they should not fuel its arrogance.
"You don't necessarily invite me to dance." Mu Xin lowered his head and sighed, muttering quietly. There was no one else on the beach, and she simply tossed her heels aside.
"Waltz, will you?" Empress Yu asked seriously in a mocking tone.
Mu Xin's old face flushed, "How do you know that I won't?" β
"With the thickness of your skin, if you can waltz, how can you sit on the couch for an hour?"
It's just a hit the nail on the head!
Mu Xin laughed dryly, and then jumped on the sand.
"What kind of dance do you dance?" Suddenly, Empress Yu asked her.
"Salsa."
"Is there music on your phone?" He asked.
Salsa? Her taste is different, although salsa is ranked in the top ten in the dance world, but for Chinese, it is still a long-term living in the countryside, and there should be very few people who learn this.
"There seem to be two songs, but I haven't danced them for a long time."
"Tune it out, let's try."
"Huh?" Mu Xin was stunned, "Big brother, are you a god?" Will you also salsa? β
"To jump or not to jump?" He said impatiently, her words today were much more unusual.
"Jump! Jump! Of course it jumped! She quickly turned on her phone.
Empress Yu stared at her, the only faint light in the black shrouded world, shining on her serious face.
The music sounded, he reached out and took her into his arms from behind, and with a slight turn, she turned around and looked up at him, the phone had fallen in the sand.
The dance posture just rose, and the two of them tacitly did not speak, only approaching little by little under the cool night of early spring, and falling little by little.
A dance is over.
She still put her hands on his shoulders, and suddenly a strong emotion surged into her heart, and she said, "Queen Yu, thank you." β
Yu's tone froze slightly, and he suddenly chuckled, "You are polite." β
"Empress Yu, can we not go back today?" She looked up at him, but in the night she saw only a glimmer of light in his eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, he spoke, "Are you going to sleep here?" β
He was referring to a fine patch of sand under his feet.
"Can't you?" Mu Xin smiled, it is not uncommon to sleep on the streets.
Empress Yu pulled the corners of her lips in the dark, walked back to the car, took out a blanket from the back seat and handed it to her, saying, "Do it yourself." β
"Plenty of food and clothing." Mu Xin took the blanket and dragged the two corners to spread it out, raising a puff of dust.
She couldn't wait to lie down.
Empress Yu hesitated, took off her flat suit and put it aside, and then sat down on the blanket.
Mu Xin looked at the sparse starry sky, and Empress Yu looked at the sparkling sea, the surroundings were so quiet that there was only the sound of the breeze, the sea and sky were vast, and Mu Xin suddenly felt ethereal.
Empress Yu was thinking about Gu Ling, the events of two years ago were still vivid, but suddenly a playful face popped out, disrupting his thoughts, he felt that the people around him were pulling him, turned around, and heard her say: "Empress Yu, hug me, okay?" β
"Not good."
"Shall I hold you, then?" She still doesn't give up.
"Inch by inch." He cursed softly, then took her into his arms and took his blazer over her.
The next morning, Mu Xin seemed to have a dream, in which she heard his powerful heartbeat, and when she woke up, she nestled in his chest, so warm that her face was red.
She suddenly realized that she had already begun to covet such temperatures.
Then don't wake up, so it's decided.
But reality is reality, Queen Yu's mobile phone rang, it was Gu Ling.
"Something?"
"Queen Yu, why didn't you come to work today?" Gu Ling's tone was a little worried, after all, a career-oriented man like Empress Yu, it is more difficult for him not to go to work on time than to let him not eat on time, if such a person does not go to work on time, isn't it particularly strange?
"Yes, go right away." He hung up the phone and looked at someone next to him who was pretending to sleep, "Get up." β
Mu Xin knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she opened her left eye slightly and smiled a little reluctantly, "Is it Senior Sister Gu Ling?" β
Looking at her, Empress Yu's heart was inexplicably irritable, "Half a day's salaryββ"
"I know!" She quickly got up, picked up the blanket and shook it twice, shook off the sand, and then stuffed it into Yuhou's arms, "I'll pick up shoes!" β
The back disappeared, and when Yu started the car, a scream suddenly came from the beach, "Ah! β
He got out of the car and hurried over to trouble people.
Behind the rock, Mu Xin looked at him and smiled as brightly as the sun, "Queen Yu, have you heard a story called a wolf?" Eh, ehβ"
Yu turned around and left, and she hurriedly followed.
In front of the car door, Empress Yu looked at her coldly, "Thirty seconds, clean yourself up." β
The low pressure began again, and she had to obediently obey.
"Senior sister, it's early!"
As soon as Mu Xin entered the office, she saw Gu Ling sitting on the sofa reading quietly, such a peaceful and demure appearance was really incomparable to herself, and even a girl felt very excited when she saw it, not to mention the big man after Yu.
Sitting at her desk, she began her day's work - although she didn't want to have anything to do with An Li now, she had to take the initiative to ask An Li out, otherwise the contract would never be signed.
"I thought girls of your age would stay in bed, but I didn't expect to get up so early." Gu Ling replied with a smile.
The smile is gentle and generous, but also kind, Mu Xin thought, anyone will like it.
"It's not for the paycheck, I can't sleep if I want to. Senior Sister Gu Ling and Mr. Yu have such a good relationship, why don't you help me persuade Mr. Yu to let him give me more sleep time? Mu Xin glanced at Empress Yu, who walked into the office, and joked in her heart.
She really wanted to know what Empress Yu was thinking at the moment, but there was no emotional change on Empress Yu's face at all.
Her punch obviously hit the cotton again.
"Have you eaten?" Empress Yu turned on the computer, raised her head, and asked with a soft gaze falling on Gu Ling.
"Not yet."
"Let's go, let's go downstairs and eat together." As he spoke, he picked up his blazer, walked to Gu Ling's side, and walked out by her shoulders.
The early morning sun shone on them, flashing a few bits of pale yellow pure light, and the halo of their hugging obscured Mu Xin's vision.
