The weather is getting colder and colder, and time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is almost the eighty-second birthday banquet of Old Lady Ling.
In the past few years, the old man has been old and quiet, and he deliberately moved from the Ling family's mansion to the General Hospital of the Military Region to recuperate, and no one else was allowed to disturb him, so most of the time it was Qin Shu and Ling Mohan who went to visit him.
But at this birthday banquet, the old man asked Qin Shu to help him write a lot of invitations, inviting his former comrades-in-arms, subordinates and other relatives and friends to attend the birthday banquet, saying that it was rare to be so lively, and maybe he wouldn't see him next year.
"Grandpa, don't say these things again." Qin Shu pretended to be angry and brought the egg custard to him, "In the future, I will make you a lot of egg custard, and accompany you to plant flowers, play chess, and fish, you can't dislike me for being clumsy." β
The old man laughed loudly and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I'm going to watch you and Akan give me a few great-grandchildren, so I'll leave with confidence." β
Qin Shu's expression was slightly stiff, her heart was sour, and she forcibly endured the bitter taste and said, "Well, grandpa, you must live a long time, let me and Akan's children accompany you." β
The old man smiled contentedly.
The birthday banquet was arranged at the Ling family's mansion, and the banquet officially opened at seven o'clock in the evening.
Qin Shu changed her clothes and walked out of the cloakroom, and at a glance she saw Ling Mohan wearing a straight military uniform, and her dark eyes were staring at her tightly, as if she couldn't take her eyes off her.
"Is it pretty?" She curled her pink lips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled at the man.
"Beautiful." Ling Mohan's voice was a little tight, and her eyes deepened because of her smile, like a wild beast seeing the most delicious prey, eager to dismantle this woman on the spot.
Qin Shu's dress was personally selected by him.
Wearing a light blue slim bandeau fishtail dress, the chest is decorated with dots of fine diamonds, shining with moving light, the exposed shoulders are round and small, and the delicate collarbones and fair skin reflect each other, lining her delicate and bright, but also elegant and solemn.
This is a side that Qin Shu has never shown.
Before that, she was more like a rich and extreme red rose, always seductive, and inadvertently provocative, so that there were always people talking about her behind her back like a shameless vixen.
Now that Qin Shu was wearing this light blue skirt, she looked dignified and elegant, standing in front of Ling Mohan generously, which made him quite excited.
Ling Mohan was a little glad that he had forced Qin Shu and himself to get the certificate earlier, otherwise Qin Shu might not be his woman now.
"When the matter of the reactionary organization is settled, we will hold a wedding, and you will definitely stand by my side in style." Ling Mohan hugged Qin Shu, his tone was indescribably gentle, and Qin Shu's cheeks were a little hot when he heard it.
The two of them took the car to the Ling family's mansion, all the way through the heavily guarded West Garden, and before they arrived in the hall, they saw that the lights were shining inside, and it looked very lively.
Qin Shu took Ling Mohan's arm, took a breath quietly, and slowly relaxed.
She was a little nervous.
Tonight, she will disclose her relationship with Ling Mohan in front of all the relatives and friends of the Ling family, and from now on, her external identity will be Ling Mohan's lover.
As soon as they entered the birthday banquet hall, they were immediately stared at from all directions, and all the guests in the audience slowly fell silent, and they all turned their eyes on Qin Shu and Ling Mohan.
Those eyes are curious, inquisitive, and incomprehensible......
Qin Shu had long expected this to happen.
After all, Ling Mohan is the grandson of the Ling family, the only heir of this big family, and he is the captain of the Wild Wolf Special Operations Force, and he also has absolute power in the Lincheng Military Region, so his appearance will definitely attract attention.
What's more, many people remember that when the old man was on his birthday last year, the woman who accompanied Ling Mohan to attend the birthday banquet was Ji Nanya, not Qin Shu, who suddenly disappeared from the Ling family three years ago and came back.
For a while, the scene was quiet. Ling Mohan's expression was as usual, and he walked to the old man's side with Qin Shu, and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, Xiaoshu and I came over to celebrate your birthday." β
Qin Shu said with a smile: "I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, be happy every day, don't be angry with my stinky chess pieces anymore." β
She winked mischievously at the latter sentence.
The old man laughed twice, and pointed his finger at Qin Shu: "You, take advantage of this time to set me up, it seems that you can't expect you to be proficient in chess." β
The easy-going and cordial conversation of an old man and a young man fell into the ears of the guests, and many people were secretly surprised: Who is this woman? It can actually make Old Man Ling so happy!
The Ling family knew that Qin Shu was brought up by the old man, but except for a few important elders, others didn't know that she had returned to Lin Cheng half a year ago, and they didn't know that she and Ling Mohan had already obtained a marriage certificate.
So when Old Lady Ling coldly said that Qin Shu was the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the Ling family, not only the guests present were surprised, but even the Ling family was stunned.
The guests were wondering: When did this happen? Why wasn't there any news before?
You must know that some of these guests came over with their daughters to attend the birthday banquet, so they wanted to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of the old man to see if they could marry Ling Mohan and form an in-law with the Ling family.
As a result, Ling Mohan was already married.
These guests were disappointed, and it was difficult to show it, so they set their eyes on Qin Shu, looking so unwilling.
Qin Shu had to endure the eyes of all directions, let others look at and explore, and also had to maintain a dignified and elegant smile to deal with the guests who came to greet them.
I'm so tired!
Qin Shu sighed in her heart, and suddenly deeply admired Tang Anru's long-sleeved ability to dance, every time she participated in a banquet, she was always the focus of everyone, and she seemed to enjoy such a high-profile life, so Tang Anru should really go to acting.
In the process, Qin Shu noticed that Ji Nanya was also in the hall.
Ji Nanya was wearing a smoky gray dress, exquisite makeup, and a cold temperament, standing not far away from Xia Lun, few people dared to talk to her, but many beautiful women walked over to talk to Xia Lun.
Perhaps sensing Qin Shu's gaze, Ji Nanya suddenly looked at her.
Their eyes met in the air.
Ji Nanya stared at her coldly, and then looked away, her expression was arrogant and cold, as if she was disdainful of Qin Shu.
Qin Shu didn't care, anyway, she and Ji Nanya were not friends from the beginning, and they were destined to get along amicably.
She retracted her gaze and took Ling Mohan's arm to thank the elders who had come to celebrate her birthday, which she should do as a descendant of the Ling family.
After the whole hall was turned, Qin Shu couldn't hold it anymore.
In order to look more compatible with Ling Mohan tonight, she deliberately wore a pair of ten-centimeter high heels, which made her feet ach faintly, and her waist was also very sore.
She wanted to sit on the floor.
"Uncomfortable?" Ling Mohan asked in her ear in a slight whisper.
"Well, low back pain." Qin Shu's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Ling Mohan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I was tired of you last night." β
As soon as he mentioned last night, Qin Shu immediately thought of this bastard's tricky posture and tossed her until the middle of the night, which was simply inferior.
"How dare you say it?" She glared at Ling Mohan angrily, then realized that this was a public occasion, and quickly lowered her eyes, the corners of her lips curved just right, looking really well-behaved and moving.
Ling Mohan's mind moved slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Go upstairs and rest for a while." β
As he spoke, he pulled Qin Shu upstairs.
All the guests are secretly paying attention to their every move, especially the way the two of them bowed their heads and talked just now, they are obviously very intimate, not pretending at all, and some people's minds are ready to move anymore.
Xia Lun took a sip of the wine glass, and saw Ji Nanya staring at the stairs, so he laughed: "Don't look at it, it's not yours to look at it again." β
"You'd better shut up." Ji Nanya said coldly and looked away.
"I'm just kindly reminding you."
"No, I don't."
Ji Nanya turned to leave.
Sharon didn't care, continued to drink his wine, and chatted with the beauties by the way, which felt quite comfortable.
More than half an hour later, Ling Mohan came out of the bedroom, while Qin Shu was still resting inside.
Ji Nanya didn't know when she came upstairs, sitting on the sofa with a red wine and two wine glasses in front of her.
She looked at Ling Mohan.
The two met their eyes, cold and indifferent, and neither of them meant to speak.
Until Ling Mohan said, "What is Doctor Ji doing here?" β
When Ji Nanya heard him call her Doctor Ji in such a detached tone, she couldn't help but tighten her hands, walked up to Ling Mohan, and whispered, "Can we talk?" β
"Please report to me tomorrow when you come to the military region to report to me." Ling Mo said coldly and indifferently.
Ji Nanya wanted to grab his hand, but Ling Mohan pinched his wrist hard.
She smiled wryly, "Do you disbelieve me so much now?" β
Ling Mohan looked at Ji Nanya's sad and sarcastic smile, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he let go of his hand.
Ji Nanya said in an obscure voice: "I thought you knew that I would never hurt you, but I didn't expect you to believe me." β
Ling Mohan didn't dwell on this issue with her, and asked indifferently, "Is there anything else?" β
The implication was that there was nothing to do, and he didn't want to talk nonsense to her again.
Ji Nanya felt pain in her heart, and looked at him steadily: "You are really ruthless!" β
Ling Mohan turned around and wanted to leave, wanting to go back to the bedroom, so that it would be safer for Qin Shu to stay by his side.
"Wait." Ji Nanya shouted eagerly, and walked in front of Ling Mohan, with shallow tears flashing in her eyes, "I want to talk to you about personal matters, I won't delay you for a long time." β
Ling Mohan's eyebrows twisted.
He didn't think there was anything to talk about with Ji Nanya, the friendship between them ended on the night Ji Nanya tried to hurt Qin Shu, and now only the relationship between superiors and subordinates remains.
Ji Nanya looked arrogant, but laughed at herself: "What, are you so disgusted with me that you don't want to give me even half a time?" β
"It's not." Ling Mohan said in a deep voice, "What do you want to talk to me about?" β
"Talk about it." Ji Nanya said, her expression gloomy, "It's like I've broken off my thoughts about you in the past few years." β
She paused for a moment, and then said, "I applied with my teacher to go to the No. 3 border base for research, and I will leave tomorrow." Maybe...... Maybe one day we won't see each other again. β
Border No. 3 is dangerous, especially researchers, who are at risk of being assassinated or robbed by reactionary groups at any time!
Ling Mohan stared at her fiercely: "Doctor Ji, I hope you don't get emotional, this is the military discipline of the Wild Wolf Special Operations Force!" β
Ji Nanya said indifferently: "I am no longer a military doctor of the Wild Wolf Special Operations Force. β
Ling Mo laughed coldly, "As long as you are a member of the Wild Wolf Special Operations Force for a day, you must always abide by this military discipline!" I order you to withdraw your application report immediately! β
"The teacher has agreed." Ji Nanya said, her cold eyes faintly revealing a bright light, "Akan, are you worried about me?" β
Without waiting for Ling Mohan to speak, she finally showed a hint of a smile: "I'm very happy, even if you are not worried about my male and female affairs, I am also very happy." β
She turned around and uncorked the red wine, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Ling Mohan.
"This glass of wine, even if it is for me, practice it."
Ling Mohan didn't take her wine.
Ji Nanya laughed at herself: "Are you afraid that I will poison the wine?" β
