She slept until the next morning.

It was Chu Mingrui who gently shook her awake: "Xiaoxiao, get up, don't sleep, you will have a headache if you sleep again." ”

Her eyes were half-squinted, and a blonde girl in an apron uniform was reaching for her to open the curtains, and the faint spring sun was shining in, making people feel warm and warm.

Chu Mingrui's tone carried a kind of indulgent doting: "Don't sleep, if you don't go down and taste Luna's breakfast, she will be sad." ”

"Oh."

She buried her head in his arms, and he wore a casual sweater with a pullover that looked like the spring sun, which made her feel comfortable. "Mingrui."

For the first time, she called his first name without his last name, "Where are we?" ”

"We're at home." He rubbed her short hair, "Get up quickly, I'll take you to the lake after breakfast." ”

"Is there a boat?" She looked up in anticipation.

"There's a big boat." He exaggerated, "Big, big kind." The tone is doting, as if coaxing a child.

Fang Xiao smiled, got up and changed his clothes, because it was cold, he also changed into a pullover sweater, a loose and casual style, with riding style pants and light boots, which made him like it: "Heroic, there is a knight's shelf, when will I have time to teach you to ride a horse." ”

"Really?" Since coming to this island, she has left all her scheming behind, indulged herself in lurking under his wing, and many words and many things seem to go through her brain.

"Of course." "In two months," he said, "we will spend the summer in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and I will teach you how to ride a horse on the beach." ”

The wind was so strong on the lake that her hair was all messed up. He taught her how to steer the wheel; how to speed and create a thrilling wave on the surface of the lake; How to make a sharp turn so that the ship almost rolls on its side, but it is unharmed. This new and exciting way to play makes her scream, laugh, and love it.

At noon, when the sun was at its warmest, they sat on the deck and ate a snack, and she learned to grind her own coffee, which turned out to be very successful.

The fishing rods were lined up on the deck, and the fish in this water area were very abundant, and even Fang Xiao, who had never held a fishing rod, caught three or four fish, which made her very happy.

Chu Mingrui said, "We can eat the fish you caught tonight." ”

At dusk, they finally sailed the boat back for dinner, Fang Xiao volunteered to slowly sail the boat into the dock, Chu Mingrui helped her rudder, and docked steadily beside the trestle, someone had already jumped on the boat to untie the rope and tie the rope, after anchoring, Chu Mingrui led her down the trestle, she was already crying hungry.

After eating an authentic French meal, she didn't count how many dishes there were in total, because she only cared about eating, and the chef Chu Mingrui used had impeccable skills.

Because he ate early, the sun had not set after the meal, Fang Xiao's mood was surprisingly good, and after eating the fruit after the meal, the two went for a walk.

As she walked, Chu Mingrui introduced everything around her. The wild sunflowers are still in full bloom, reflecting the golden light of the sun, and the pebble path is sandwiched in the middle of the flowers. Walk slowly along the path to the flower house, where the all-glass roof and walls reflect the sunlight unambiguously, dazzling.

As soon as she walked in, she was pleasantly surprised by the roses everywhere: red, white, yellow, precious blue, purple, and the air was filled with a rich sweet fragrance. Harmony, Louis XIV, Thousand Birds, Flame ...... She was out of breath, and there were so many varieties she couldn't name.

She indulged in a sea of roses.

"Xiaoxiao." He gently hugged her from behind, "I can't give you the sea of flowers in Yunshan, but I can give you all the roses here." ”

She's really going to get drunk, for home, for this rose, for all the surprises on the island......

Who said happy days are the most fleeting? She gave up all autonomy and thinking, obediently attached to him, and lived a carefree life on his island, in their home.

It turns out that a person can live so simply, without thinking about any problems and without any worries. Get up in the morning, go out to the lake, fish, or prune and arrange flowers in the flower room; In the afternoon, I learned to bake snacks and make bread with Luna; Eat a candlelight dinner at night, dance with Chu Mingrui on the terrace under the moonlight, with the sparkling lake behind him, and only the moonlight is like water between heaven and earth.

Romantic and simple, just like the life of a princess in a fairy tale.

In Paris, he had led her to play, but it was a different kind of situation, when he had tried to help her out of the shadows, and now he spoiled her, doted on her, granted her all reasonable and unreasonable requests, indulged her to enjoy all the pleasures of life, and let her play merrily.

The game was something she hadn't enjoyed. Since childhood, too many responsibilities have made her mind mature early, no longer as innocent as children of the same age, and she has carried so much that she has forgotten how to enjoy pampering and how to enjoy life.

Therefore, he taught her, let her do whatever she wanted, and used countless money and meticulous consideration to make her forget the past, forget the heavy Fang Xiao, and be reborn.

He did it.

She threw everything away, she learned to smile carefree, she learned to be coquettish, she learned to leave all the troubles to him to clean up, she learned to be pampered and cared for.

When summer was approaching, he kept his promise and took her to France, then changed to a helicopter and flew to the Côte d'Azur.

Summer is the most beautiful season, especially in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.

It is the golden season of the year, the resort of the Côte d'Azur, the sun is shining, the mountains are blue, and the water is so clear that you can almost see the reef at the bottom of the sea. The sea is dotted with private yachts; The beach was full of sunbathers, and even the air seemed to smell of olive oil and the scorching sun.

The helicopter continued to fly, the coast gradually cleared, and there were fewer people on the beach, this area was all villas, and large areas of sand were private beaches.

Finally landed on the top of a mountain cliff, Chu Mingrui carried her off the plane, the whirlwind of the helicopter blew her big straw hat with her hand, looking up, the sky was blue, the clouds were almost as thin as nothing, and the saltiness of the sea came to her face, as well as the lush aroma of plants, strong and hot.

The sea is boundless, and the blue and translucent water surface is like a huge silk, turning up layers of folds, and the folds are clustered with white edges—snow-white waves, which finally rush to the shore and crash against the steep rock wall, shattering bones.

Behind her, there is a majestic building, standing on a cliff like a castle, everything is so beautiful that it is unreal, like a colorful oil painting.

It was getting dark, and on the wide terrace, you could only hear the sound of the waves.

The deep grape-purple sky was covered with stars, like silver sugar sprinkled on the jelly, so low that it was within her reach, and she felt that everything here seemed unreal, because it was too beautiful and unreal.

There were gorgeous deck chairs and round tables on the terrace, and Chu Mingrui was personally opening the champagne.

"Do you want me to help?" Fang Xiao changed into a linen gauze long skirt and walked out to ask him.

"Just don't mess with me."

"It's a fairy tale." Fang Xiao looked at the sea as quiet as a sapphire in the night, and his eyes seemed to reflect the sea light and star waves, flowing brightly, "A castle in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, is there anything else in this world that you don't have?" ”

He lowered his head to light the candle, and the fire of the candlestick was blown by the sea breeze, and his eyes were ambiguous: "I don't have too many things." ”

She sat lazily in a comfortable French chaise longue and asked him, "You don't have anything?" ”

He stopped talking, so she asked, "Why don't you ignore me?" ”

"I'm busy." He said. He was indeed very busy, to open the wine, to pour the wine, and to deal with the seductive eyes of the great beauty on the chaise longue.

"Then you can't ignore people." Fang Xiao looked innocent, resting his chin on his elbows, and looking at him from the bottom up.

Seeing him, he muttered, "If you look at me like this again, I promise you'll be hungry tonight." ”

She raised her face, and it happened that a meteor crossed the sky, and the golden tail seemed to be a light, which had suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't help but say "ah": "Meteor!" ”

He tilted his face up, too. She tied a knot of the tassels in her shawl and muttered something.

He asked her, "What did you say?" ”

She smiled, "Make a wish." ”

was so childish that he couldn't help but laugh too: "Then what wish did you make?" ”

She thought for a moment: "Can't tell you. ”

He smiled and asked, "Why?" ”

"If you say it, it won't work."

He seemed to be careless: "Does it have something to do with me?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, but did not answer. Surprised, he turned his face and took a sip of champagne, and the endless sea outside the terrace was magnificent, and the sky was full of broken stars, like the most beautiful set in any movie. He finally leaned over and kissed her deeply, the sweet scent of champagne on his lips, as intoxicating as it could be.

In the middle of the night, I could only hear the waves rolling outside the window, and it seemed that the whole world outside the house was only wind and waves.

She quietly reached out to hold his hand: "It's nice that it's like there's just two of us in the world." ”

His eyes were gentle, and his voice was too: "When the mundane things are over, let's come here and hide for the rest of our lives, okay?" ”

A plain word, maybe he just said it casually, but Fang Xiao felt an inexplicable touch, she said obediently and seriously: "Okay." ”

Everything here is as simple as a fairy tale, and on the shores of the blue sea, there is only a carefree life. But when Fang Xiao saw the two thoroughbred horses in the stable, he couldn't help but ask, "Chu Mingrui, how much money do you have?" ”

He thought about it for a moment before saying, "This question is for my lawyer and financial advisor." ”

It was a day like this, as they roamed on their private beaches on horseback, and the huge sunset cast a faint slanting light on them, and the waves rolled up layer after layer, not past the horses' hooves, and through a thousand piles of snow. She likes to gallop on the sand at the edge of the waves, where the sand is trampled and splashed everywhere, and she laughs loudly and spreads her laughter in the wind.

She was tanned, but she was also healthy, and when she was on the horse, Chu Mingrui said, "Mrs. Chu, you finally have a little weight." ”

She looked back: "Do you think I'm fat?" ”

"Nope." He lowered his head and just kissed her, "You look your best right now." ”

He used to kiss her now, on the beach at dusk, under the starry night; And she, undeniably, likes this intimacy.

The weather was very good on this day, and the bright red sun couldn't wait to jump out of the recess of the mountain, so Chu Mingrui went to the seaside reef behind the house to fish, and before leaving, he boasted about the sea: "Wait to eat fresh and fatty live fish." ”

She put on her apron and baked some snacks for him, kneading her dough while listening to the radio.

She learns a few tricks from Luna in the United States, and a delicate little cake is born under her hands, and news spreads on the radio.

She didn't pay much attention to everything in the outside world, she had been comfortable for too long, she was too well protected, she had forgotten the turbulent waves outside, it was almost another world.

The fifth cake was formed, and she reached for the sixth piece of dough, and at that moment, a phrase from the radio inadvertently slipped into her ears: "Following yesterday's sharp decline, the Dow Jones index continues to fall wildly after today's opening......"

What happened to the stock market, is the U.S. economy stagnating?

She put the cake in the oven and was faintly worried, Chu Mingrui accompanied him every day, and she didn't know what would happen to his company......

She hesitated as she poured the beans into the grinder, and after a while, the aroma of coffee and cake wafted through the air. The back door of the kitchen was pushed open with a thud, and a cool breeze rushed in as the door opened.

"It smells so good!" Chu Mingrui put down the fishing rod and fish bucket, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "The fish in the sea don't give me face, so I'll come back for a snack first." ”

Fang Xiao put the first batch of freshly baked cakes on the plate, handed him the fork, and watched him eat the cake in a big gulp, he couldn't help but have a slight smile on his face, quiet and happy, it seemed that they were all coming in an instant.

The radio continues to broadcast the news: "The famous BP company has made a forecast for the market...... "BP has made a forecast for the market......"

Fang Xiao added a piece of cake to the plate for him and asked, "Do you need to go back to New York?" ”

"Back to New York?" Unhurriedly, he retorted, "What are you going back to do?" ”

"The stock market is not doing well," she said. ”

He picked up the last bite of the cake: "I'm not a god, I don't have time to save the people from fire and water, I just want to eat the cake baked by my dear wife now." ”

Fang Xiao smiled quietly.

Wife, dear wife......

It's obviously such a meaty name, but it's still weird.

After Christmas in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, they finally left the coast, leaving the fairyland-like villa, because the New Year was coming, the board of directors was going to hold its annual meeting, Chu Mingrui could not be absent any longer, they had to go back to the world.

Or the secretary went to the airport to pick them up, Fang Xiao didn't sleep on the plane, so she fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, Chu Mingrui let her lie on her lap and carefully put on her coat.

The secretary was already stunned, and when he saw the boss's gaze swept over dissatisfied, he smiled and awkwardly looked for a topic: "About Xu ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the boss's gaze, Fang Xiao was confused, and he didn't care too much when he heard it.

When she got home, she was very tired, she fell asleep with her head next to the pillow, and when she woke up, it was already dark, she got out of bed with her shoes, and went to the study while tying the straps of her pajamas, Chu Mingrui was really smoking in the study.
