Ning Jun, female, 28 years old, not tall but well-proportioned, not a beauty, but fair-skinned and good-looking, after graduating from university, working in a foreign company, diligent, serious and meticulous and considerate, quite praised by colleagues, the only time in his life to do an exceptional thing is to have an office romance with a partner of the company. Unmarried, on the way to marriage, although this road has a sweet beginning but is extremely bumpy, we will explain it in the next story.

When Miss Ning woke up, it was almost ten o'clock, and if it was usual, she would definitely turn over and go back to sleep. But today is different, today is her big day.

Three days ago, she had dinner with her boyfriend Xu Douxiao as usual, the location was her choice, a private dish in the old alley, the courtyard in the second ring is arranged in a postmodern style, modern contemporary abstract paintings and flower arrangements of the Ming Dynasty are placed in one place, people who like it praise the owner for the fusion of ancient and modern, and those who don't like it say that the patriarch here has no taste, only copper smell.

Ning Jun adheres to the open style of this kind of decoration, she only thinks that the food here is delicious, there are few people, the service staff is polite and cold, and it is an excellent place to go after a tired day.

She loves to eat, Xu Douxiao is also up to her, Michelin three stars generously pay, the fly hall is also sweet, meat and vegetables are available, hot and cold are not taboo, I really met Mr. Xu can't get off the chopsticks, and he has no opinion, never stops, just smiles and watches her eat, calling her "gluttonous Baoer". Most of the two of them spend most of their vacations on food adventures, and sometimes Ning Jun touches the soft lump around his waist, feeling that he can't find a food book, and he is sorry for the swollen meat and Xu Dou's deflated wallet.

In the second half of the day, the plate of the big dish was withdrawn, and a small Soviet-style dim sum was placed in front of the two people, Xu Douxiao took out a box, the size of the child's palm, light suede, and a girlish pink ribbon bow on it.

Mr. Xu loves to give gifts, regardless of the New Year's Day, buy when you see it, give it when you think of it, Ning Jun is not surprised, happily take it, carefully untie the tied crooked bow, she feels wrong when she unties, perfectionist Xu Douxiao Although his hands are not skillful, he has never asked the sales staff to make the gift package beautiful, which is like his own "masterpiece".

Sure enough, the ribbon was very mysterious, and there was a line of burgundy ink sprinkled with gold - "Would you like to?" ——It is Mr. Xu's rules and regulations in italics.

Ning Jun only felt that the blood in her whole body rushed to her face, of course she thought about such a day, they were developing towards such a day, but her heart was pounding, she controlled the corners of her mouth that was desperately upturned, and looked at Xu Douxiao who was obviously nervous opposite.

"You know the answer."

Xu Douxiao held her hand: "The answer needs to be said." ”

"Then you should ask the question first."

"You're right."

Xu Douxiao stood up, tidied up his clothes, pushed away the chair behind him and was about to lean down and kneel, but Ning Jun held his arm.

"No, honey, you just have to ask me."

Xu Douxiao smiled a little embarrassedly, like a shy child, he sat back in his seat and took a deep breath: "Are you willing to marry me?" Ning Jun. ”

Now she couldn't control not only her mouth, but also the tears in her eyes, which rushed out and dripped onto their clasped hands.

"I do."

"I'll take good care of you." Xu Douxiao leaned over and kissed her eyes.

When the happy mood of the new fiancée calmed down, Ning Jun opened her gift, which was different from the ring in common sense, a pair of triangular enamel glazed earrings, brilliant red filled with golden leaf veins, and bright blue dotted in the corners.

"I saw it last time I went to Los Angeles on a business trip, and I think you'd like it, and it's just a gift." Xu Douxiao explained as he took out a blue box from his jacket pocket - the kind of blue that all beautiful girls like, he opened it, and inside was a brilliant six-claw classic, simple enough, shiny enough, and pleasing enough.

Ning Jun smiled and stretched out her hand to let her fiancé gently put this meaningful ring on her ring finger, she admired it for a while, and then opened her mouth again.

"What if I don't promise you?" Ning Jun wrapped the pink ribbon around his finger - just a little bit on top of the diamond.

Xu Douxiao pondered for a long time: "I've thought about it, if your face is wrong when you see it, I will ask you if you would like to ask for another dessert." ”

Ning Jun laughed and crossed the table to kiss him.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too."

In the end, they didn't eat the Soviet-style dim sum on the table, the sweetness of love made their stomachs full and warm, they drove back to Xu Douxiao's apartment, opened a bottle of red wine, drank it up, and did some happy things to celebrate this happy event.

Then, today, is Ning Jun's big day.

She was going to meet Xu Douxiao's friend, who was going to see his friend for the first time on the third day of their engagement, after a year of dating.

It's weird.

Ning Jun's friend Tong Ling reminded her more than once: "You should meet his friends, and understanding a person starts with understanding the people around him." Take 10,000 steps back, he is of good character, and his friends are very decent, but what does it matter if he doesn't take you into his circle? doesn't approve of you, or does he have another lover, and you're just a little secret that can't be put on the table? ”

She knows Xu Douxiao's character very well, after all, they have been colleagues and friends for four years before dating...... It's not that she hasn't seen them all, it's just that the occasion of knowing them is a little embarrassing, and even Xu Douxiao doesn't know.

Either way, they were engaged — happy ending, she's about to meet his friends — and the procedure went wrong, but it happened.

Ning Jun picked out a little black dress that would never make a mistake, revealing her beautiful shoulders and collarbones, a pair of mid-heeled shoes that made her look tall but not too hard, painted light makeup, let her hair hang down softly on her shoulders, and finally, brought the pair of enamel glazed earrings.

At eleven o'clock, Xu Douxiao came to pick her up, and they had a light meal together, and Mr. Xu introduced his friends in advance so as not to be embarrassed when they met.

"Lan Dun's son, Gu Yue, is your college classmate?" Ning Jun was taken aback, "You never said it." ”

"Their main business is real estate and hotels, and there is no intersection with the company's business, so there is no need to mention it."

"You're the only one who thinks like that, if someone else had been replaced, he would have been on his lips a long time ago."

"I don't like this, and Gu Yue won't invest in the company's projects." Xu Douxiao pursed his lips, "I don't want to go out and have a drink with friends to talk about work." ”

"That's just as well." Ning Jun nodded approvingly, "But why don't you tell me too?" ”

"Gu Yue, he's a bit cynical...... I don't want you to think I'm like that. ”

The young master of the Blue Shield Group is not only a little cynical, Ning Jun recalled the news he had inadvertently read over the years, Gu Yue's own lace news can feed a group of paparazzi, no news? Go see Gu Gongzi. If he and Xu Douxiao are close friends, it will indeed affect Mr. Xu's reputation.

He cares about his impressions.

Ning Jun's heart was sweet.

After dating for a year, I didn't see Mr. Xu's friend until the third day of engagement, which is not so important.

Xu Douxiao's friends gathered in Gu Yue's shop, the second ring of every inch of land, the bar street of dogs and horses, Gu Gongzi has a two-story catering business, the first floor is a bar that officially opens after nine o'clock, and the second floor is a membership-based private restaurant. It was three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived, the first floor had not yet woken up, and the second floor began to rest, and the girl sitting at the entrance bar was in good spirits, her dark green dress hanging below her knees, and a light white waist was tied, lining her like a lotus flower.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu." She stood up, her voice as neat as her movements, and there was just the right amount of kindness in her professional smile.

"Hello." Xu Douxiao nodded, "This is my fiancée, Ning Jun." This is Gu Yue's assistant Hao Shangyun. ”

"Miss Ning, I have admired my name for a long time."

Ning Jun took Assistant Hao's hand and shook it, turned his head and smiled at Xu Douxiao: "Do you often mention me?" ”

"Not really." Xu Douxiao touched his nose, and the tips of his ears were a little red.

"It's just the level that makes us all curious about what kind of person can get Mr. Xu's ring." Hao Shangyun led them inside, "Mr. Gu is talking every day, Mr. Xu hid you too well, and he refused to introduce you until the last moment." ”

"He just wants to make fun of me." Xu Douxiao took Ning Jun's hand and shook it, "What has he been doing lately?" Your style has changed again. ”

"Mr. Gu has been chasing an independent brand designer recently, and the clothes for the spring show have been packaged." Hao Shangyun rolled his eyes with restraint, "The daily order has become our work clothes, I have been wearing this brand at the recent cocktail party, and the industry still thinks that I have transformed, and always sends me some invitations to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

Only then did Ning Jun understand where the sense of disobedience was when he saw her, it turned out that he was wearing the wrong clothes. Looking at the surroundings, the men and women sitting or standing, the water is elegant, fluttering, and I can't help but sigh secretly at the romance of Gu Yue.

"You wear it too."

"Thank you, it's our duty to make the boss happy."

During the conversation, they walked to Gu Yue's office, and Assistant Hao said hello and consciously left.

Gu Yue's office is more like a living room than the ordinary, with sofas, coffee tables, and bar counters, all kinds of tea, cigarettes and alcohol, avant-garde sculptures and Italian sofas from the last century piled up in one place, an old-fashioned vinyl record player in front of eight screens, and a variety of strange gadgets on the Bogu shelf.
