Cheng Yijie didn't make a sound, his face was resolute and expressionless. He didn't defend himself, he didn't say a word, he just quietly pulled up his pants, turned and walked towards the door. As soon as he stepped out of the study door, Mu Qingcheng put on a piece of clothing haphazardly, quickly rushed over, and hugged him from behind.

"Cheng Yijie!" She cried and shouted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit you." However, my heart is very confused, please don't force me. ”

Cheng Yijie's back stiffened, and his chest rose and fell with his breathing. He was speechless for a long time, and only Mu Qingcheng's low sobs could be heard in the room.

After a long time, Cheng Yijie finally spoke up: "It's okay, forget it if you don't want to." ”

He behaved freely, touching her hand holding him, "I won't force you, but, little orange, you should always let me understand the real reason." ”

"I have an envelope in my handbag with some photos in it, you can see for yourself." Mu Qingcheng concealed the content of the phone call, but he should always let him know about those photos.

Cheng Yijie walked out of the study, Mu Qingcheng put on his clothes and pants, and looked aimlessly at the darkness blurred by the rain outside the landing door, his mind wandered and he was uncertain.

Cheng Yijie soon returned, and he raised the photo in his hand. "That's why you rejected me?"

Mu Qingcheng frowned in distress, of course, not only because of the photo, but for another reason, she couldn't say.

"It seems that it is necessary to give you an explanation about me and Yufei." Cheng Yijie looked deeply into her eyes, "Yufei and I have known each other since we were very young, and she likes to stick to me like a fart and call me 'Brother Yijie'." Then I went abroad and we didn't see each other for many years. After the reunion, I sensed that she had affection for me, but I had already made it clear to her that I just treated her like a sister. The photos were taken secretly, and the night you and I came back from Wuzhen, Yufei asked me to meet at the 'Spend Time' café to talk about the case, including the discovery in Wuzhen. She knew that I went to Wuzhen with you, and she also knew that we were going to get married, and she was a little sad. ”

Mu Qingcheng stared at him, wanting to see how much truth and how much falsehood in his words. However, this is a face that is too sincere, so sincere that she cannot doubt it. The pair of eyes were so earnest and deep that she was convinced, hung her head, and said in a low voice, "So you just hug her and comfort her?" ”

"I didn't hug her, I just walked over and tried to persuade her. But she grabbed me and said that when she was young, she was wronged and cried to me, and I would let her hold her hand and confide in her, and stroke her hair to comfort her. She just wants to miss the past, I can't be too ruthless,

After all, there is still the love of brother and sister. There was a cold light in Cheng Yijie's eyes, "That is, in a minute or two, someone actually took a photo, and deliberately grabbed an angle that was easy to misunderstand." It can be seen that the person has been staring at me and Yufei, and it is premeditated. ”

"What kind of brother and sister affection, she is not your sister. Patience and pity are even more dangerous things, especially between men and women. Mu Qingcheng said stubbornly, "If it weren't for me, would you fall in love with her?" ”

"No, it won't." Cheng Yijie did not hesitate at all, "If I would fall in love with her, I would already be married to her." ”

Mu Qingcheng snorted. "You're a marriage maniac."

"The great English writer William Shakespeare once said: All love that is not aimed at marriage is a hooligan." Cheng Yijie stared into her eyes and said, "I don't like to be a hooligan, and I don't like to waste precious time on women who don't want to get married." Including Yufei, if it weren't for the fact that I cared about that case, I wouldn't have had that dinner with her. ”

There were warm bubbles rising from Mu Qingcheng's chest, but after a while, they turned invisible. "Who did it and why did you do it?"

Cheng Yijie shook his head. "I can only be sure from the angle of the shot, that person, who was also in the café at the time, was near us."

"That's right!" Mu Qingcheng suddenly thought, "There is surveillance in the 'Spend Time' café, as long as you go to borrow it and take a look, you should be able to see the person holding the camera to take pictures." ”

"You're naïve, I learned when I investigated Mi Lan's case before, and the surveillance footage of the café is only kept for a week." Cheng Yijie's gaze sank, "It took so long to send the photos to you, probably because the surveillance video has expired and can't be seen." ”

"Isn't your eye very keen, why didn't you notice it at the time......" Mu Qingcheng froze, and his tone became a little resentful, "Yes, I'm patronizing and comforting people, where did I notice that someone was secretly photographing." ”

"You're so cute when you're jealous." Cheng Yijie had a smile in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to cover her hand, "That person is well disguised, and when I talked about the case with Yufei, I always paid attention to the surrounding situation." The real negligence is the minute or two, and the person grasps the timing of the minute or two very well, and is a master. As for who it is and what the purpose is, I will investigate, so you don't have to worry about it. What I want to know more is, are you still satisfied with my explanation? ”

"I don't know." Mu Qingcheng was still confused and confused, lowered his head, and his voice was as low as a whisper, "The matter of marriage, let's hold off for a while, I'...... I still have no psychological preparation for getting married at all. ”

Cheng Yijie smiled silently, that smile was subtle and slightly lost, it was difficult to draw and difficult to describe but moving.

Mu Qingcheng looked at him squarely, her eyes were filled with a helpless and sad desolation.

Cheng Yijie sighed. "Well, we'll talk about marriage later. However, should you make up for the damage you caused me just now? ”

"What action?" Mu Qingcheng asked sneeringly.

"Kiss me." Cheng Yijie only said two short words.

Mu Qingcheng obediently hooked his neck with her hand, put her trembling lips to him, and took the initiative to give her a kiss that shook her whole body.

I don't know if it's my own illusion, when the two separated, Mu Qingcheng actually saw a layer of redness floating on Cheng Yijie's face. He reached out and stroked his lips, "It tastes good, that slap is worth it." ”

Mu Qingcheng bit his lip, his eyes were dark and he looked at him, silent.

A storm seems to have passed. Winter goes to spring, more than three months have flown by, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to March of the new year. In the past three months, Cheng Yijie never mentioned the matter of marriage. Because of his work, he and Mu Qingcheng have met and contacted more frequently than in the past. At the end of last year, Director Zhong Chun presided over a product research and development meeting, and jointly determined the design team and design time for the submission of the product research and development plan with Qikun Cultural and Creative City.

Cheng Yijie personally led the design team members to the museum many times, and Mu Qingcheng introduced the museum culture in detail, so that they could better understand the cultural connotation. When they work, the two are like pure partners, serious and serious. Cheng Yijie has a wide range of knowledge and unique insights, which is deeply recognized by Mu Qingcheng, and the two communicate very smoothly. The design team also worked very efficiently, and it took less than three months to submit the design proposal, defining the feasibility of the plan in terms of content and form.

Cheng Yijie pointed out that now more people talk about cultural creativity, always talking about product design and design concepts, in fact, there are a lot of designs like Apple, but designers start to design after finding a positioning around an industrial chain. It is not possible to design in the east and design in the west, it must be integrated into the industrial culture and chain. Now we should start with the business model, and think about the rise of traditional products to the Internet platform, occupy the commanding heights of the Internet era, and connect with each other. For example, cultural and creative products have more Internet thinking, and the Internet has more cultural and creative thinking, cross-border.

The biggest advantage of Qikun Cultural and Creative City is that at the beginning of Cheng Yijie's takeover, it was positioned as an entrepreneurial base, introducing resources, allowing entrepreneurs to enter the park not only to start their own businesses, but also to help many people, find a lot of resources, grow in the industrial chain, and the cultural and creative enterprises and Internet enterprises in the park have been well integrated across borders.

In this cooperation with the museum, the advantages of the cultural and creative city have also been fully exerted, and the two sides have reached a consensus that the cultural and creative products to be developed in the future include physical products and digital products. In addition to the research and development of various physical products, it will also use the Internet and new technology platforms to share the excellent culture of the museum with the public, and pass on their connotations in a creative way.

The professional review committee has determined the final design plan and which products can be developed, and a proofing meeting will be held in the near future to review the development and production details of the products.

In their free time, Cheng Yijie and Mu Qingcheng still get along and date as before, but every time they are in love, Cheng Yijie restrains himself very well and does not make any moves that cross the bottom line to Mu Qingcheng. Zhu Manru never appeared again, and Mu Qingcheng didn't know how Cheng Yijie explained it to Zhu Manru, and he didn't dare to ask. She was very confused about their future, but, with a kind of contradiction and entanglement, her feelings for him were growing day by day, and she felt that she could no longer live without this man.

It has entered the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River again, and the continuous rain has made the air pressure low and dull. The eternally dark sky seemed to be pressing on top of Mu Qingcheng's head, making her feel breathless. On the one hand, Zhong Chun presided over a proofing meeting to review the details of product development and production, and the development and production of cultural and creative products were then in full swing, and everyone was very much looking forward to the appearance of finished products in the future; On the other hand, Governor Hu really took office three times, and the report on the renovation of the underground cultural relics warehouse was quickly approved, and 80 million funds were also in place, and the official public bidding.

That morning, Mu Qingcheng walked into the hall of the museum, and was surprised to see the local tyrant Chen Biting Jin, he still wore a brand-name suit out of the feeling of a stall, and several people surrounded him, as if they were discussing something.
