Chu Yun had two fathers in his life.

One is her biological father Chu Tianyu, and the other is her stepfather Xiao Mufan.

His biological father, Ban Tianyu, would always be an elegant, talented, and wise person in Chu Yun's memory. He was sent to France to study on official business, and was an extremely open-minded father. On the issue of the education of his only daughter, Chu Tianyu has always been very democratic and open, and his innate wisdom and extraordinary memory, as well as his persistent spirit, have been completely inherited to Chu Yun.

And his stepfather Xiao Mufan, in Chu Yun's eyes, is a person who combines intelligence, kindness and benevolence, which is why Chu Yun's mother finally decided to marry him.

Xiao Mufan can be described as a genius in business, he not only managed the industry left by his father well, but also carried it forward even more. And the most rare thing is that he is very kind-hearted and very affectionate. After his original wife died of illness, he has not renewed the strings, for the sake of the child is part of the reason, the most important thing is that he and his wife have been married for more than ten years, the piano is harmonious, the relationship is very good, and there is a feeling that the sea has been difficult to water. This state of mind lasted for more than ten years, until he met Chu Yun's mother, Dong Yaqing.

Xiao Mufan met Ms. Dong Yaqing at a Western-style dinner hosted by a friend.

For this reason, he has always been grateful to this friend. Because he didn't plan to attend the dinner that night, it was his friend who was so kind of talk that he forced him to go.

Xiao Mufan has never been interested in Western food. He thinks that when it comes to eating, you can find it all over the world, and you can't find anything better than Chinese food. But he is very interested in many mechanical and electrical things in the West, such as: pocket watches, telephones, cars, these men's favorite things he can't put down, so he has increased his affection and interest in the West. Although he doesn't like to eat Western food that is either half-baked or rotten, he likes to meet new people and hear many new things that he has never heard of. So when he heard from his friend that he wanted to introduce him to a few friends who knew a lot about European industry, he reluctantly agreed.

After that, whenever he remembered that he almost missed Dong Yaqing, he felt extremely happy.

At that buffet dinner, Xiao Mufan frowned in front of a large pile of hams, salads, sandwiches, and all kinds of food that could not be named. He regretted a little that he hadn't eaten something to make up for it before he came, and looking at the mess on the table at this moment, he really couldn't arouse his appetite at all.

He was standing there listlessly with an empty plate. Suddenly, a soft and pleasant voice beside him said, "Sir, would you like to try this freshly fried veal steak?" The taste is still good. ”

So he turned his head and saw Dong Yaqing's beautiful face, and then ......, according to Xiao Mufan's own words: He couldn't find the north all of a sudden.

Chu Yun's mother later told Chu Yun that she was holding a plate and was taking food, and saw Xiao Mufan holding an empty plate, struggling with a table of food with a sad face, obviously not interested in what was in front of her, but she felt that she had to eat it. Somehow, she suddenly felt that the serious man in front of her was quite interesting, and she couldn't help but make people want to step forward to help him. Later facts proved that Xiao Mufan was indeed an extremely serious person, and once he recognized something, he had to do it.

Dong Yaqing saw that Xiao Mufan was just looking at her stupidly, as if she didn't understand what she said, so she repeated what she had just said. Xiao Mufan woke up like a dream, nodding busily. So, Dong Yaqing took the plate in his hand, forked up a piece of freshly fried veal steak and put it on the plate, poured some black pepper juice on it, and used a spoon to put a little fried potatoes and diced onions on the side, poured a thick sirloin sauce, and finally put a delicate bun, picked it up and handed it to him.

Xiao Mufan stared at her with two eyes and laid out the food in the same way, as if she was watching an art performance. He felt that her every move was so elegant, so feminine, so good-looking.

He took the full plate of food handed to him by Dong Yaqing, forked the steak under Dong Yaqing's encouraging gaze, and took a big bite, only to think that this piece of beef was not to mention how tender it was, although the taste was quite special, it was really good.

Facing Dong Yaqing's concerned and inquiring gaze, Xiao Mufan didn't care about the details, nodded and hurriedly swallowed, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Good!" That's great! ”

Dong Yaqing couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was so sincere and serious.

At the moment when Dong Yaqing's face showed a rainbow-like smile, Xiao Mufan felt that a ray of sunlight suddenly shot into a place that had been sealed in his heart, not to mention how transparent it was, he felt that he had come to the right place today.

In the following time, he followed Dong Yaqing inch by inch, listened to her introduce the characteristics and eating methods of Western food, and then talked about Western culture and customs. Her soft and melodious voice floated into Xiao Mufan's ears, just like fairy music.

This night, Xiao Mufan's eyes could no longer see any other people and things, only the beautiful and elegant figure in front of him remained.

Her amber eyes were so pure that there was no trace of variegation, and with the jet-black eyelashes and the upturned corners of the eyes, she looked full of charm, and the two dark eyebrows were naturally curved without modification, hanging like a crescent moon on her white and smooth cheeks like magnolia flowers.

She wasn't at all like most of the women at the dinner party who were either squirming or pretending to be insistent. When you speak, she always looks at you with wide eyes and listens very carefully, and when she speaks, she always looks at the other person with a smile on her face. All night, he faced her beautiful face, sometimes surprised, sometimes admired, sometimes laughed, sometimes eloquent, and witty, as if he had fallen under the spell.

Dong Yaqing did not wear a gorgeous Western-style evening dress like other women who came to the banquet, but wore a dark green brocade forged collared sleeveless cheongsam, and a white peony flower on her chest was graceful and elegant. Jet-black curls rolled high on the back of his head. There was a crystal round pearl on each of the ears on the left and right that shone with a faint silver light in the light, and the slender fingers wore the wedding ring given to her by Chu Tianyu, and there was no other makeup, which looked particularly beautiful and elegant in a group of women who were dressed in bright clothes and jewelry.

Xiao Mufan felt that he had never eaten such delicious Western food, and the whole night was like a dream. When he returned home in despair, he sat in the house and was stunned for most of the night, and when he finally came to his senses, he understood one thing, he had left his soul in a woman named Dong Yaqing.
