Chapter One Hundred and One, The Calm Before the Storm
"Ziyi, this is Dean Liu Ruonan of our Dibang Biomedical Research Institute." Lu Jinli introduced the person in front of him to his fiancΓ©e.
"Hello Dean Liu, your name, Ziyi has heard of it for a long time, and she often mentions it in her ears, and she has long wanted to see you, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet you here today!" That Ying Ziyi was gentle and gentle, and her voice was also extremely good.
"Heh, Mrs. Sister-in-law is so good-looking, Senior Brother Lu is really blessed."
After listening to this, Lu Jinli stood aside and laughed silly, but listened to Ying Ziyi beside him speak: "It's good to be close to you, and it's Ziyi who is blessed!" β
While a few people were talking, a young man came out of the barbecue shop, trotted in front of the three of them, bowed down, and said with a smile: "Good evening Lord Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Dean Liu, the host has prepared a private seat for the three distinguished guests, please come with you." β
After hearing this, Lu Jinli smiled and said to the guy: "Your master is so polite every time, then bother, junior sister, let's go in?" β
Liu Ruonan didn't want to make the people nervous by standing outside, so he nodded slightly, and walked into the store with Lu Jinli and the young man.
Liu Ruonan looked at Lu Jinli in front of him with a familiar look, obviously he often came to this place, and soon the three of them were introduced into a private room that was extremely clean and elegant. After the three of them sat down, the man took the tea and put it down, then retreated and closed the door.
"Senior brother often comes here?"
"Let the junior sister laugh, Ziyi is greedy, I especially like to eat this store's deer Shu barbecue, the owner of the store uses extremely clever fire control techniques to bake raw meat, every time the heat can be controlled to the right level, plus the boss's special spices, the deliciousness is simply indescribable! The business is booming, and the shop has become well-known in this place, as if it is about to become a landmark in Wanzhang City. So we often come, and the store is also polite, and every time we prepare this private room for dinner. You also know that we have been busy with business recently, so we don't have much time, so the commander just took a vacation, so he brought Ziyi here to fight tooth sacrifices. β
"Ha, I'm also attracted by this fragrance, so I'm going to have to taste it later." Liu Ruonan smiled and clapped his hands and said.
Before the food was brought to the table, Liu Ruonan added tea to the two people in front of him, and asked Lu Jinli with a smile: "When does the senior brother plan to marry his sister-in-law?" β
But seeing Lu Jinli replied with a wry smile: "I was going to be at the end of this month, but I didn't want to coincide with the attack of the Shenyan Clan, so I could only put it aside for the time being, alas......"
Liu Ruonan nodded, shook his head and looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Look at the good things that senior brother has done, this has wronged my sister-in-law, and in the future, senior brother will have to compensate my sister-in-law." β
After hearing this, Lu Jinli looked blank and asked suspiciously, "What?" β
Liu Ruonan ignored him and asked Ying Ziyi with a smile, "Is Mrs. Sister-in-law pregnant?" β
Ying Ziyi listened, glanced at Lu Jinli beside her, and then nodded lightly.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame Ruonan for being troublesome, I am a doctor, pregnancy is not a trivial matter, and I should always pay attention to checking the growth of the fetus. If Mrs. Sister-in-law does not dislike it, Ruo Nan is willing to check and inspect Mrs. Sister-in-law. β
But to Liu Ruonan's surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Ying Ziyi's eyes on the opposite side turned red, but she lowered her head and cried softly.
When Liu Ruonan saw this situation, he was dumbfounded, so he looked at Senior Brother Lu Jinli opposite, "I'm sorry, is Ruonan nosy and said the wrong thing?" β
Lu Jinli didn't answer for the time being, and stretched out his hand to comfort his fiancΓ©e beside him, but unexpectedly, Ying Ziyi suddenly looked up at him and said, "I don't want this child at all!" β
"Talking about children again, aren't we all right? The child is innocent, not to mention, the abortion hurts your body, I don't want you to be hurt again. β
Liu Ruonan looked at Lu Jinli and Ying Ziyi, they didn't know how to answer, they felt as if they had said something terrible to offend their sister-in-law, and they were feeling guilty about how to apologize.
At this time, Lu Jinli turned his head to look at Liu Ruonan, and said with a smile: "Let the junior sister smile, the junior sister is not strange, Ziyi didn't mean it." It's just that the situation is special, and I can't hold my emotions for a while. β
"It's okay, it's not weird, it's just that ...... sister-in-law?"
"That's the case, the child in Ziyi's womb is not mine, I believe you have also heard of the Ying Chengyan incident some time ago, which was personally detected by His Majesty, and Ziyi was the victim at that time."
Liu Ruonan listened, suddenly realized, and then his face showed an apologetic look, and unintentionally, he was really talkative.
"Your Majesty asked Lu to take care of Ziyi's family at that time, Lu didn't dare to slack off, and was conscientious, and after this back and forth, he and Ziyi had feelings for each other."
Ying Ziyi suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Jinli and said, "Because of this, it is too unfair to you that I am pregnant with someone else's child, don't you think?" β
"Oh, fool, I love you, I will tolerate everything about you, after the child is born, I should treat it as my own, he will also call me father, and then it will be a father-son relationship, so whether it is born to me or not, what does it matter?"
Lu Jinli's words made Liu Ruonan respect him, Senior Brother Lu is a decent person and extremely open-minded.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the house, and Lu Jinli immediately said, "Please come in!" β
Then the young shopkeeper pushed the door open with a steaming barbecue plate. "I'm sorry to keep the three distinguished guests waiting for a long time, this is the best Mingxiang Lushu barbecue, please use it slowly." After saying that, the shopkeeper put down the plate on the table and then retreated.
"Come on, come on, the food is here, don't gossip, let's go, you're welcome, junior sister."
Lu Jinli's words also warmed Ying Ziyi's heart, and at this moment, it happened that his favorite food was brought to him, so he burst into laughter, and after smiling apologetically at Ruonan, he began to greet the other party to eat.
"Hmm...... Senior brother is right, I have never eaten such delicious barbecue in my life, and when His Majesty the Dragon Emperor comes back, I will definitely let His Majesty come and taste it! Liu Ruonan stuffed the barbecue in his mouth, and said vaguely, in front of the food, he didn't care about the image at all.
"Ha, then the junior sister will eat more, by the way, what is the fetal examination that the junior sister just said?" Lu Jinli said with a smile.
"Senior brother is really a good father, and he doesn't forget to think about his child when he eats, so he can always pay attention to the growth and development of the fetus through medical examinations, and supplement the required nutrients in time to ensure the healthy birth of the fetus."
"That's good, then it's troublesome junior sister......"
"No problem, but today I want to treat my senior brother! Ha! Liu Ruonan said happily.
"That's nature, that's nature!"
After eating and drinking, the three of them walked out of the door of the store with a satisfied expression, and after Liu Ruonan waved goodbye to Senior Brother Lu and his wife, he continued to walk freely in this city with a happy mood.
Although it was late at night, the security of the cities in the imperial state was very good, and there would be no danger on the road at any time. At the beginning of the state, there was a prosperous scene, and people were so satisfied that the crime rate had almost dropped to zero.
Liu Ruonan hummed a little song in his mouth, stepped on cheerful steps, and walked slowly along a small river. The water is gurgling at the feet, the water is churning with joyful ripples, and the river is so gentle, just like the mood of the people by the river at this time, it is quiet and joyful.
At this time, passing by an arch bridge across the river, Liu Ruonan walked up, and then leaned on the railing of the bridge, quietly blowing the river breeze, looking farther away. The scales were shining, reflecting the clear light of the sky, Liu Ruonan couldn't help but see God, and suddenly missed someone in his heart.
I saw her raise her head again, and her gaze passed through the fast-moving hovering train in mid-air, and looked at the huge moon disk that emitted a cold and bright light in the sky. The moon was a little bigger than the Earth's, and there was no difference.
"The frost toad is sad and clear, and the light is sprinkled with lonely people under the moon. On a windy night, leaning on the railing, looking at the autumn water, lovesick. I don't know where you are today, but I want to return without injury! Xiaohe Mingyue is a proof, as long as I can exchange for the peace of my sweetheart, Ruonan is willing to pay everything for it without regrets! After Liu Ruonan finished reading, he folded his hands in front of his chest and closed his eyes to pray for his sweetheart in his heart.
"Are you praying for the Boss......?"
Liu Ruonan heard the voice of the person, suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the side, just listening to the voice, he knew that it was Wang Hai, who had been his companion for many years.
"Ruonan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your prayers, I have been on this bridge for a long time, but I was on the other side of the bridge, and when I turned around, I realized that you were also here, so I walked over, and I happened to hear what you said." Wang Hai said apologetically.
"Brother Wang...... It's okay, I don't blame you. Liu Ruonan's voice was soft, and her face was slightly red.
"We are all praying that the boss will return safely, but you will work harder......" Wang Hai looked at her, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and then looked at the flowing water under his feet, and said softly.
"It's not hard, as long as he can be well, I'm very happy."
Wang Hai's shoulders trembled, and then he said calmly, "Have you ever thought about telling him?" β
"Tell him what?"
"Tell him you like him, there's no monogamy here." Wang Hai said with a smile.
"Brother Wang laughed, Ruonan is very good, you don't have to possess it if you like it, in my opinion, love is lonely, and when you love someone alone, that love is the most real innocence."
β......β
"Brother Wang often comes to this place?"
"How can you and I have so much free time? It's just that it's rare for Xiaoyun to be merciful, sneak out to breathe in the fresh air, and just happened to come here. Wang Hai said with a wry smile.
"Poof, why do you say that Xiaoyun, she heard it, and she won't be able to spare you."
This smile made the originally somewhat depressed atmosphere much more cheerful......
