In an instant, Deng Yin only felt that her heart was beating faster, as if it would pop out in the next second.

Her eyes flashed slightly, she swallowed her throat, and she subconsciously reached out and pressed her chest.

……

The day's filming ended smoothly, and after finishing work, Jiang Manqing went back to the apartment first, took some things, and then drove to the Jiang family's villa by himself.

As soon as you enter the door, the fragrance faintly penetrates your nose.

Aunt Tong, the maid, pointed to the direction of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Mr. will cook in person tonight, and the dishes you cook are all your favorite dishes, Mr. is rare to cook, but the skills are very good, you must eat more later, see how thin you are." ”

While speaking, Jiang Shaodong walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, still holding something in his hand, where is there still the appearance of a majestic superior on weekdays.

"Manqing is here?"

Jiang Manqing hurriedly walked over: "Dad, I'll come." ”

Jiang Shaodong was full of smiles and was very happy: "No, be careful of scalding, you go wash your hands quickly, and then come out to eat." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Manqing could only respond.

Soon, she washed her hands and returned.

At a glance, a table full of dishes, meat and vegetables, color, flavor, and flavor, are all her favorite food.

For a while, her nose was a little sour: "Dad, thank you......"

"What's polite to Dad?" Jiang Shaodong handed her the dishes and chopsticks, and poured her a cup of freshly squeezed juice, "You have been gone for a few years, and my father has not given you a birthday for a few years, but unfortunately I can't accompany you on a business trip tomorrow. ”

He smiled and put a piece of Coke chicken wings between her chopsticks: "Taste? ”

His chest was overflowing with emotion and warmth, and suppressing the sourness in his heart, Jiang Manqing lowered his head and took a bite.

"Is it delicious?"

Jiang Manqing raised his eyes, with a happy smile on his face, and nodded heavily: "It's very delicious!" ”

Jiang Shaodong was happy: "Okay, then eat more, otherwise you are coaxing me." He looked at her and frowned again, "Manqing, isn't filming very hard?" How do you feel like you're thinner than the last time we met? Work is important, but nothing is more important than physical health, you're too thin......"

Jiang Manqing listened to his instructions a lot, and his heart warmed even more.

The warmth of a long absence.

She loved it.

"Okay, listen to you, Dad." Her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she responds obediently.

"By the way," she thought of something, she got up and took something from the living room, and handed it over with a smile, "Dad, this is for you, your favorite tea, I asked someone to buy it." ”

Jiang Shaodong was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but be disgusted: "It's your birthday and it's not me, you." ”

Jiang Manqing tilted his head sideways, playful and cute: "Do you like that Dad?" ”

I haven't seen her coquettish appearance for a long time, Jiang Shaodong saw it in his eyes and lost his mind for a while.

"I like it, how can I not like the things sent by Manqing." He smiled, his words were full of emotion, and more of the father's tenderness for his daughter, "Guess, what birthday gift did Dad prepare for you?" ”

Maybe it was the atmosphere was infectious, or maybe it was a change in mood, Jiang Manqing made a disgusted look after a long time, and complained seriously: "Every year for birthdays, the gift you gave Dad, was either a skirt, a stuffed bear, or a necklace...... Well, I guess...... Bracelet it! ”

"Are you sure?"

"yes, pretty sure!"

Jiang Shaodong also cooperated and made an angry look: "You don't believe in Dad too much, people will change." ”

"But the thinking of straight men will not change."

"Bold? Dare to say that dad is a straight man? Although Jiang Shaodong pretended to be angry, he was actually very relieved in his heart, he was really happy to see her as coquettish as she was at the beginning, and she should look like she should be at this age.

He believed that the happy Manqing from before would definitely come back.

"But I'm telling the truth." Jiang Manqing nodded very seriously.

Jiang Shaodong glared at her with a smile, and then raised his voice slightly and called Aunt Tong.

Soon, Aunt Tong walked over with a smile holding a gift box.

Jiang Manqing saw the logo on the gift box at a glance, which was a makeup brand, and the most famous makeup brand was the lipstick that every girl loved.

Looking at the size of the box, she couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, you actually bought lipstick?" This box...... You're not going to buy all the new shades of this lipstick this year, are you? ”

Jiang Shaodong coughed: "I asked your Uncle Li to ask the female employees in the company, and they all said that the most popular thing for girls is to receive lipstick in all colors, so I thought it would be better to buy lipstick." How, you ...... Dislike? ”

How could you not like it?

These are all hearts, and they are warm.

"I like it, I like it, it's a coincidence, I just like this brand of lipstick." With a smile on his face, Jiang Manqing nodded.

Jiang Shaodong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Open it and see?"

"Okay."

Jiang Manqing immediately opened it, and the next second, she was stunned.

"Dad......"

On top of a row of lipsticks, there is a real estate certificate.

Jiang Shaodong smiled lovingly: "You never want the money you are given, I think, you don't need it, then Dad will change the cheesy one to you and give you a house of your own, your own home." This is the best apartment in Qingcheng, Dad also personally visited the field, you live there, Dad is very relieved, not allowed to refuse, must be accepted, speaking of Jintong and Yuchen when they are adults, there is also such a gift, you can't do without, it is considered to be made up to you. ”

Jiang Manqing looked at the real estate certificate, only to feel that his nose was even more sore, and his chest was overflowing with an indescribable emotion that was rampage, wanting to rush out.

"Thank you, Dad......" In the end, she didn't refuse, she accepted it, knowing that he didn't want to see her unhappy appearance, she sniffed, and then spoke, she smiled and coquettishly, "Dad, I like this year's birthday gift very much!" ”

When Jiang Yuchen came in, what she saw was her smiling face, as if she had returned to the past.

The heart is like being stabbed.

He stood still.

"Yuchen? You're back too? Aunt Tong happened to bring the soup over, and she was obviously surprised when she saw Jiang Yuchen.

Jiang Yuchen came back to his senses.

"Aunt Tong." He turned his head to say hello, but his afterglow clearly caught the woman's smile briefly froze at the corners of her mouth when she heard his name.

Aunt Tong was very happy: "Tell me how long you haven't been home?" I'm also back to celebrate Manqing's birthday today? Go wash your hands, I'll get you a pair of chopsticks! Today, the gentleman cooks by himself. ”

Jiang Shaodong also put down his chopsticks when he heard the sound: "Why did you come back?" ”

Glancing at Jiang Manqing quietly, Jiang Yuchen said lightly: "There is something to use for shooting, and I remembered that I had been at home all the time, so I came over to get it." ”

Jiang Shaodong nodded, and asked again, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Nope."

"Then go wash your hands and come and eat together."

"Hmm."

With one hand in his pocket, Jiang Yuchen walked in the direction of the bathroom.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared that Jiang Shaodong looked at Jiang Manqing apologetically and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Manqing, Dad didn't know that Yuchen would come back suddenly, and I haven't sat down to eat with him for a long time, so I should give Dad a face, fulfill Dad, don't be unhappy, okay?" ”

In his eyes and words, there was a hint of pleading.

How could Jiang Manqing bear it, and how could he refuse?

"Dad, where did you go, I'm not unhappy, really. Besides, it's fun to eat with one more person, isn't it? No matter what you say, it's us who should be guilty of not coming back to eat with you. She shook her head and smiled as well-behaved as before.

She really wasn't unhappy.

No.

It's just that......

It's just sad to see him.

But it's not a big deal to be sad, she can get through it.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Shaodong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Aren't you coming back to eat with me now?" ”

"Dad." Jiang Yuchen went and returned at this time, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Jiang Manqing.

Aunt Tong also brought the dishes and chopsticks.

Jiang Shaodong was really happy, the smile on his face never disappeared, either to clean Jiang Man's vegetables or to let Jiang Yuchen eat more, chatting and chatting about their interesting stories when they were children.

Happy, he also asked Aunt Tong to open a bottle of red wine halfway.

At the end of the meal, he was drunk.

"Yuchen, Manqing, Dad is really happy tonight, this house has been deserted, it will be different as soon as you come back, you will come back to eat more in the future, or Dad will cook." He said with a smile as he looked at the two of them.

Jiang Manqing deliberately avoided Jiang Yuchen throughout the whole process, and felt a little sad and guilty when he heard the words, so he nodded: "Dad, I'll accompany you to eat when I have time." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm."

The smile on Jiang Shaodong's face became even brighter: "Okay, then it's decided," After that, he looked at Jiang Yuchen again, "It's too late, you send Manqing back, I don't worry about her alone." ”

The heartbeat suddenly stopped, Jiang Manqing subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect to hear the man next to him respond.

"Hmm."

Jiang Manqing's body froze instantly.

Jiang Shaodong urged them to go back.

"Dad, rest early." Jiang Yuchen nodded, turned around and went out first.

Jiang Manqing froze for a long time, and finally followed.

"Alas......"

It wasn't until he watched the two of them walk out of the villa that Jiang Shaodong let out a long sigh.

Hopefully tonight his arrangement will not be in vain.

No matter how much he helps, if the two of them can't untie the knot, it's useless after all.

……

On the wide road, the car moved smoothly.

Inside the car, there was silence, and no one spoke from beginning to end.

The car window was open, and the wind blew in, blowing Jiang Manqing's hair, but what was even more messy was her heart.

Thinking of the picture outside the villa where he reached out to her to get the car keys, and looked like he would keep stiffening if she didn't let him get into the car, she ......

She still doesn't understand why she compromised.

Clearly......

As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Manqing felt irritable in her heart, and became more and more disgusted with herself, and since she got into the car, her body has been tense, and now there is no tendency to alleviate it except for being more serious.

And this tension reached its peak in an instant after discovering that the car was not driving in the direction of the city center.

In a panic, Jiang Manqing turned his head to look at him sharply, and blurted out: "Where are you going to take me again?!" ”
