When Xiao Yining and Lin Youan were still slowly cultivating their relationship, his good brother Li Wenbo had already overtaken in the corner and announced the good news of marrying Xie Yu.

Tonight, Li Wenbo and Xie Yu invited Xiao Yining and Lin Youan, as well as Dong Xuan and Wang Lelan to have dinner together to discuss helping him hold a wedding.

Xiao Yining held the invitation in his hand: "You kidnapped us Xie Yu so quickly, you have to treat her well in the future." ”

"Brother, you have to say this to Xie Yu, let her treat me well." Li Wenbo held Xie Yu's hand, and his happy expression was about to overflow from his face.

Xie Yu lightly hammered Li Wenbo's chest: "Am I not good to you?" ”

"Good, good. Okay, very. Li Wenbo rubbed his chest and said.

Xiao Yining and Lin Youan glanced at each other, they had learned how oily these two people were last time.

Today, there are more Wang Lelan and Dong Xuan eating dog food together.

"Le Lan, can't you stand it anymore?"

Lin Youan cast a look at Wang Lelan for help, hoping that Wang Lelan could manage these two people.

Wang Lelan stared at Xie Yu with a smile: "You two are a little more restrained." ”

"Did you hear that? Converge a little. Lin Youan immediately agreed.

"You have to consider the feelings of Xiao Yining and Lin Youan."

"Roar! Wang Lelan, which end of the year. Lin Youan pointed at Wang Lelan and asked.

Li Wenbo looked at Xiao Yining: "Brother, I'm sorry, run ahead of you." ”

His tone was full of sympathy and mockery.

Lin Youan realized that he originally wanted to put a little pressure on Xie Yu, but now the pressure has shifted to himself.

She looked at Xiao Yining, and Xiao Yining looked calm.

He took Lin Youan's hand and put it in his palm: "We're not in a hurry." Now the studio is also busy, and I will think about this when it is a little more stable. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yining reached out and took Lin Youan into his arms: "You don't mind waiting for me for a while, right?" ”

"Don't mind." She looked at Xiao Yining affectionately.

He is always like this, he can take care of his feelings at all times, and now he takes the initiative to take the blame for himself, he is really a top ten boyfriend.

In fact, she has been looking for an opportunity to talk to her mother about her partner recently.

After her mother's pass, she will definitely give herself to Xiao Yining without reservation.

Li Wenbo and Xie Yu looked at Xiao Yining and Lin Youan's affection, and also gave up treatment.

They all knew that Xiao Yining's words were not sincere, but this was a matter for two people, and they could only stop at the point.

Wang Lelan watched the dialogue and actions of the four people.

This time, she didn't get involved, just looked at Dong Xuan silently.

In the corner of Dong Xuan's eyes, he felt Wang Lelan's eyes, and he also turned his head to look at her.

Wang Lelan didn't speak, but just raised her eyebrows at Dong Xuan.

Dong Xuan understood what Wang Lelan meant, she was worried about him, worried that he would be sad.

Xiao Yining and Lin Youan's intimate behavior is so normal in the eyes of others, but in his eyes......

Dong Xuan smiled slightly, shook his head at Wang Lelan, and said softly: It's okay.

Wang Lelan responded with a shallow smile.

Then, Wang Lelan picked up the chopsticks and ate by herself.

Leaving Wang Lelan's line of sight, Dong Xuan released his hidden emotions.

Looking at Xiao Yining and Lin Youan, how could he not be sad in his heart?

The emotion that could not be made public was always carefully hidden in my heart.

He thought that his day and night relationship with Wang Lelan would make him gradually forget his feelings for Xiao Yining.

But seeing him and Lin You'an loving each other tonight, he realized that this emotion had been buried in his heart for too many years, and it was not easy to uproot it.

"Yi Ning, Dong Xuan." Li Wenbo said to the two, "You two can be my best men." ”

"You'an and Lelan are my bridesmaids." Xie Yu sent an invitation to the two girls.

"Good. /OK. Lin Youan and Wang Lelan agreed very simply.

Xiao Yining also nodded and responded to Li Wenbo's invitation.

Dong Xuan, who was silent, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Dong Xuan? Can you? Li Wenbo asked again.

Dong Xuan raised his head hesitantly and looked at everyone.

"Are you afraid of a time conflict with the meeting?" Wang Lelan looked at Dong Xuan.

Meeting?

"Well, yes. Yesterday, I informed each store that they were going to the headquarters for a training meeting next month, and I was afraid that there would be a time conflict. Dong Xuan explained.

"Then tell me when you have the time to decide. If you're not available, I'll find someone else. ”

"Okay." Dong Xuan nodded.

In the following time, everyone discussed the preparations for the marriage of Li Wenbo and Xie Yu.

Dong Xuan didn't participate too much, because he wasn't sure if he could participate, and Li Wenbo and Xie Yu naturally relaxed their "requirements" for him.

Wang Lelan, Xie Yu and Lin Youan discussed the details of the wedding warmly......

This time, she left Dong Xuan aside and ignored him.

She knew that he needed to digest his emotions now.

Although the protagonists of the night are Li Wenbo and Xie Yu, Dong Xuan's eyes are probably only Xiao Yining.

When Dong Xuan responded to her concern, she thought he had let it go, but when she heard that she was going to be the best man, she still betrayed him.

Therefore, Wang Lelan found a reason for him.

The time of that meeting was actually the day after Li Wenbo's wedding, and if Dong Xuan didn't want to go, he could refuse for good reason.

After dinner, Xiao Yining sent Lin Youan back to the apartment, and Dong Xuan made an appointment with Wang Lelan to sit in his old place as usual.

Sitting in the light bar, Dong Xuan didn't speak, just drank wine one after another.

Wang Lelan sat on the side, watching quietly, without making a sound.

After a while, Wang Lelan picked up the cigarette case in Dong Xuan's hand, took out a cigarette from it, and skillfully lit it.

Dong Xuan looked at Wang Lelan in surprise, only to see her take a light breath and slowly spit out a wisp of smoke, and the curling smoke scattered before it could rise.

Wang Lelan held a cigarette between her fingers, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

"What? Didn't expect me to smoke. ”

Dong Xuan only felt that there was a thin layer of mist between him and Wang Lelan, and he couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Tonight, you have shown me your true self, and I will show you your true self." Wang Lelan clinked glasses with Dong Xuan and finished drinking his wine.

Wang Lelan's words gave Dong Xuan a sense of relief.

He admits that in front of her, he can boldly remove his disguise, and as he does now, he can get himself drunk without any scruples.

Dong Xuan finished the wine in the cup and added a glass to both of them.

"Don't look at me as a delicate white-collar worker in the workplace now, I was also a problem girl in middle school."

Wang Lelan's fingers lightly smoothed her bangs, and talked to Dong Xuan about her youthful past.

Wang Lelan is the son of a high-ranking cadre, his grandfather and father are both veteran cadres, and his mother is also a university teacher.

In the eyes of outsiders, her family background is impeccable, but only she knows how oppressive her family life is.

My father's family education was very strict, so strict that eating, sleeping, and going out to play had to be carried out according to the time schedule.

In middle school, she learned to smoke and drink, and even skipped class, just to vent the pent-up emotions at home.

Later, her mother and father divorced, and she left with her mother, and life slowly got back on track......

Dong Xuan listened to Wang Lelan's narration, her tone was very calm, as if this past was social news from her hearsay, and it had nothing to do with her.

"You An doesn't know about these things about me. Don't say it. After Wang Lelan finished speaking, she also explained to Dong Xuan.

Dong Xuan pursed his lips and smiled, now, he and Wang Lelan have mastered each other's "secrets".

"A toast."

"What do you respect me?" Wang Lelan picked up the wine glass.

"Thank you for helping me out tonight, and thank you for sharing the real you with me."

"This one does." Wang Lelan smiled heartily and drank the wine in the cup.

Dong Xuan finished drinking and lit a cigarette.

For the rest of the day, the two didn't speak again, just tasted the wine in their glasses.

After Xiao Yining sent Lin Youan home, he went to his stepfather's house.

During the meal, his mother texted him to come home in the evening, saying that he had something to talk about.

Although he knew that he was forced to marry when he went home, Xiao Yining still went back obediently.

Returning to his stepfather's mansion, Xiao Yining greeted his stepfather and mother who were watching TV.

"Mom, what's the matter with letting me come back?" Xiao Yining sat down.

"Your Uncle Huang came to dinner in the evening, and he wants to know if there is any possibility for you and Shanshan." Xiao Mu asked softly.

The stepfather also helped to say: "Shanshan is quite satisfied with you, but she knows that you have a girlfriend and doesn't want you to be difficult." ”

"Dad, Mom, Shanshan is good, and the conditions are good. But we don't fit. Xiao Yining explained his mind straightforwardly.

"Okay, then I'll reply to your Uncle Huang tomorrow."

"Thank you, Dad." Xiao Yining breathed a sigh of relief.

For this stepfather, Xiao Yining is very respectful and loving.

From the time he married his mother to the present, his stepfather has always regarded him as his own, and his stepfather fully respects his opinions, no matter how big or small.

He was forced to agree to this blind date, but fortunately, his stepfather no longer insisted on it, otherwise, he was really afraid of hurting the harmony between his family.

"Then when are you going to bring your girlfriend to meet us?"

Xiao's mother saw that her husband had given up, so she had to go out on her own and ask Xiao Yining's girlfriend about the situation.

"After a while, I want to wait for the studio to stabilize a little bit, and then I will consider getting married."

"Can you wait, can other girls wait?" Xiao's mother was obviously not satisfied with her son's answer.

"That stupid girl, we've been waiting for each other for more than 20 years, and it's not too long."

Xiao Yining was secretly distressed, Li Wenbo had already overtaken, how could he not be in a hurry?

But this kind of thing, Lin Youan didn't figure it out himself, and he wasn't in a hurry.

"Roar? waited for each other for more than 20 years. Father Xiao laughed, his son's object is still his elementary school classmate?

The fate of those two people is really destined, and 10 Huang Shan may not be used.

Xiao's mother listened to her son's words, and her heart twitched inexplicably.

She knew that Xiao Yining had been looking for Xiaodouding all these years, but ......

"Mom, you also know my object, it's Xiao Douding, our former neighbor."

As soon as Xiao Yining's words fell, Xiao's father's smile froze on his face, he looked at Xiao's mother, and Xiao's mother was even more stunned.

"Mom?" Xiao Yining was surprised by her mother's expression.

When he was a child, he and Xiao Douding were always in pairs, and his mother jokingly said that he would let Xiao Douding be her daughter-in-law in the future.

However, my mother did not look happy at all.

"Does Little Douding's mother know you're together?" Xiao's mother grabbed her son's hand, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"I don't know yet. Xiao Douding also plans to wait for us to stabilize. ”

Xiao Yining felt her mother holding her hand gradually cold: "Mom? What's wrong? Why do you ask? ”

"Nothing." Xiao's mother forced out a smile, and then looked at Xiao's father with a sad face.

"You're tired from the day today, go wash and rest early. Your mom and I are ready to rest. ”

Father Xiao got up, came to Xiao's mother's side, and gently put his hand on her shoulder.

Xiao Yining answered, got up and went upstairs.

Halfway through, he still felt that his mother's reaction tonight was too abnormal.

He turned to look at his mother, who had already thrown herself into his stepfather's arms, trembling slightly.

Mother crying?

Xiao Yining wanted to go downstairs to see his mother, but in a flash, he gave up his thoughts.

The marriage with her biological father made her mother suffer too much, and tonight she heard the name of an acquaintance, which may have evoked painful memories in her mother's dusty heart.

Now, with her stepfather by her side, he still doesn't want to let his mother fall into painful memories anymore.

Xiao Yining walked back to his room, planning to find another time to talk to his stepfather.
