Chapter X

This is the third time Wen Zhen has ridden in his car.

The night swallowed up the purple clouds outside the window, and the lights of the city flew in front of me.

After getting into the car, the atmosphere between the two has also become delicate.

For example, the interior space in the car was originally very spacious, but after sitting in, Wen Zhen felt that the air had become thinner, and every breath he could smell the wood fragrance of the man.

For another example, even if Wen Zhen half-lowered his eyes and pretended to be calm, he couldn't completely ignore the existence of the person next to him.

His presence is too strong.

until you reach your destination.

The restaurant I booked is called "Le serein", which means tranquility in French, but translated into Chinese, it also means a very romantic word - sunset.

When the two walked to the front of the store, Wen Zhen realized that the colors of the two of them had inadvertently collided, they were all beige, and in the afternoon, she asked Ruzhen Dress Hall to send a simple set of small dresses, sleeveless waist pinching, and the skirt with a little tassel and diamonds, which was not revealed, and it was just right to go to the banquet, but she didn't expect Yan Chaoyu to change into a light-colored casual suit.

The fading color strengthened the deep sense for him, and inexplicably, it seemed that the oppression of the high-ranking person also dissipated invisibly.

The waiter led the two to the reserved private room, and the decorative glass along the way reflected the silhouette of the two.

The overall decoration of the restaurant is dark and private.

After taking a seat, the waiter handed over the menu, Yan Chaoyu signaled to the lady to give priority, Wen Zhen took it and flipped the two pages, "A duck confit, honey caramel sea salt raw foie gras, avocado shrimp, and another sirloin steak, Mr. Yan, you will see what you need." ”

Yan Chaoyu took back the menu, ordered a few at random, and then fixed his eyes on the dessert on the last page, "Finally, a hazelnut sea salt cake, thank you." ”

The moment the words fell, a trace of surprise crossed Wen Zhen's eyes, hazelnut cake was a dish she used to order when she came here with her friends, girls, always love to order some desserts to satisfy the taste buds, only because today is for a business-like attitude, she didn't order, I didn't expect him to like desserts.

The waiter immediately took the menu and bowed away.

The crystal light in the private room sprinkled down, illuminating the skin of the girl in front of her white, the gentle dress has always been plain and dignified, and the jewelry on the body only wore a thin circle of gold bracelets, a circle of shimmering diamonds on the face and the dress matched, and the inner circle was engraved with a small line of English HERMES&W.Z, which was customized.

The thick eyelashes were half-drooping, and the warm afterglow swept through the glass window on one side, and in the quiet and closed environment, she heard the sound of her finger bones tapping on the table again, very softly, slightly raising her eyelashes, and the pair of bony and slender hands jumped into her eyes.

"Let's dine."

It turned out that unconsciously, the food had been placed on the long table, and Yan Chaoyu held the waiter back, and a pair of narrow eyes grabbed her sight.

"Did the marriage contract scare you?"

Wen Zhen just held the knife and fork, and when he heard his straightforward words, his heart was slightly steep, "No, it's just too sudden." ”

"It's good if you don't, seeing that you've been restless since you got in the car, I thought I scared you."

His words were as considerate as ever, so that she didn't know how to answer, the moment she raised her eyes to look at him, Wen Zhen suddenly remembered his words in the daytime, again and again, Wen Zhen felt a little embarrassed to herself, but the idea had already been made, and when she was about to bow her head to cut the steak, the plate in front of her was replaced by a pair of big hands, and what fell in front of her was a cut steak, each piece was cut delicately and small.

It's clear that it's just a few words, but he can do another thing without moving.

Is this what a capitalist is?

In a limited amount of time, I was able to calmly deal with everything in my hands.

When she raised her gaze again, there was a hazelnut cake next to her hand, and she suddenly realized that it was ordered for her......

"I saw that you stayed on this page just now, so I made the decision and ordered one, if you don't like it, don't force it."

Yan Chaoyu's enough attention to her made Wen Zhen a little flattered and thanked her in a low voice.

She lowered her eyes and tasted it, the taste of hazelnuts and raw art was very strong, permeating the tip of her tongue, and it was easy to secrete dopamine when eating sugar, and the original depressed mood was also much relaxed.

Raising his eyes slightly, Yan Chaoyu's hands did not stop, and he was slowly cutting the next steak, looking at her, and their eyes met: "You might as well let me guess why you are in a bad mood." ”

"Is it the company's business?"

“…… Be. Wen Zhen took another bite of the steak, and the tender juice overflowed between his teeth.

"When Grandpa Wen came to Beijing before, I heard him mention that you didn't take a finance-related major during college, if you don't understand anything in your major, you don't need to be too anxious, you can explore it slowly."

"Well, thank you Mr. Yan for mentioning it."

Sensing that he was deliberately driving the topic, Wen Zhen's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and he took the initiative to pour the dry red in the wine decanter after he had used some food.

"Thank you Mr. Yan for the day's business."

"Help you once, you can help again, what I do is just a gesture, it's not difficult, but the reward I want is difficult for you."

The light set off his eyes with a little more affection and tenderness, and fell to Wen Zhen unabashedly, and when he raised his hand, the dark red wine in the glass slipped like blood against the background of the man's cold white skin.

But what is superficial is not the thing itself.

Just like his natural affectionate eyes, but also like the dark red wine in the glass, like blood.

The red wine is mellow and sweet between the teeth.

Wen Zhen put down the wine glass, his heart beat slightly faster, and he said again: "So, you don't have to thank me." ”

He is a man who always needs to be rewarded.

I don't know why listening to his frankness, Wen Zhen felt comfortable in his heart, "Some things may be just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Yan, but after accepting your favor, I should thank you in the end." ”

"I've heard you want to keep the East Rim."

Wen Zhen's eyelashes twitched, she looked at him, and asked after a second of silence: "Is there a way?" ”

"What you want, there is a way."

Wen Zhen's tone was gloomy: "...... However, the contract has already been signed and entered into force. ”

He glanced over, but his eyes were calm: "Breaking the contract is a common thing, even if the project is started, there will always be abandonment." ”

Seeing that her eyes lit up, she continued unhurriedly: "But, I also have selfishness and wants, and my words in your office during the day are not half a joke, to be honest, I need a long-term and stable marriage." ”

"Of course, I also know that the marriage letter signed between the elders has no legal effect, and I have no right to interfere with your freedom to choose a mate, and it is not my advantage, but can only be called a point of connection between us; But if I can meet your needs, Miss Wen, I hope you will give priority to me. ”

The aroma of food and wine in the room is all wafused in the air, the lights and shadows are intertwined, and two shadows are reflected in the relief wallpaper.

Silver knives and forks collide with porcelain, and red wine ripples in the decanter.

Her clear eyes sparkled straight into those deep-sea eyes.

The last sentence pounded against the fragile and sensitive heart, and the heartbeat became faster and faster.

This is the second time tonight.

Wen Zhen thought to himself, did he really not know his ability to provoke people?

Or is it intentional?

Thinking of this, her white fingers resting in front of the table slowly curled up, "I can understand that I am your best choice at the moment?" ”

Yan Chaoyu's eyebrows raised slightly, his thin lips outlined a very light arc, and then he lowered his eyes for a few seconds as if thinking, and soon he gave an answer: "It can be understood in this way, but it is not entirely so." ”

Hearing this, Wen Zhen nodded and brushed a few strands of ear hair hanging down, "I probably understand." ”

She lowered her eyelids slightly, her pupils focused on the wine glass in her hand, a marriage is a loss.

After living for twenty-two years, Wen Zhen may have dreamed of marriage when he was very young, but then for some reason never again.

If marriage is just a matter of choice, then he is also one of her best choices.

Formal marriage, the most common in this circle.

And it is based on no feelings, so it is destined not to have disputes because of this, and the premarital property can also be notarized in advance.

With her parents' failed marriage as a lesson from the past, Wen Zhen knew that this was a good choice for her.

It's just that for Yan Chaoyu, what are the benefits?

"I want to ask, what is my value in this marriage to you? Or, what does Mr. Yan need me to do for you? ”

Wen Zhen looked at him with her eyelashes, the dancer's eyes are usually bright, especially when she learned classical dance, the most important charm, and the lighting environment made her gestures worthy of a painting.

Seeing through her concerns, Yan Chaoyu clasped his hands, "You don't need to worry so much, the marriage contract was made by my grandfather in the family, and now that he is old, he heard the sad news of Wen Lao, and he is more sad, and I also hope that I can start a family as soon as possible and become Mrs. Yan has a lot of benefits, Miss Wen." ”

The corners of his lips curled slightly, and the smile in his eyes grew thicker, as if he expected all the laws to follow his order.

Wen Zhen thought that he could be regarded as a natural businessman, and he could attract people with just a few words.

"Donglin is rooted in the capital city, I think, no one can control the situation in the capital city better than the Yan clan, and in addition, there is your freedom."

Yan pushed a mobile phone in front of her, and the screen was the result of the game she had flown to Shanghai to participate in.

The winner of the gold award on the list, the word Wen Zhen is so obvious.

She has won these awards many times, but none of them are as calm as they are today.

Even, Wen Zhen suddenly remembered that today was the day when the results of the competition came out, and the head of the dance troupe should have sent her an email, but she had been troubled by other things today and did not check carefully.

She remembers that she has been preparing for this competition for half a year, practicing every day and staying up all night, just to compete for this honor.

"Wen Zhen, you learned dance at the age of six, you have been studying and practicing hard, practicing in the morning, practicing in the evening, not slacking off for a day, you only ascended to the chief position at the beginning of this year, and you have worked hard for more than ten years, are you willing to give up?"

Give up?

She never thought about giving up dancing.

However, since the days after her grandfather left, she has had a bad life, and even with this gold award, she can't find anyone to share it with.

What's the point of hard work?

She suddenly felt sad.

The red lips pursed: "This is my private matter." ”

Seeing that her emotional ups and downs suddenly became stronger, even so, she was still inertly pressing.

Yan Chaoyu said calmly: "I don't mean to meddle in your life, I just hope that you can do what you want to do, think more about yourself, don't regret it, don't give up what you love for some embarrassment, what kind of life grandpa gave you in the past, there will be no change in my place in the future." ”

A wrinkled and sour heart seemed to be soothed and filled with his words.

The minute they looked at each other, from his eyes, it seemed that he heard him say-

I will respect you.

-

When she left the restaurant, the time was just nine o'clock, and in the end Wen Zhen failed to ask for the money for the meal, Yan Chaoyu went to settle the account in advance under the pretext of pretext, noticed her mood change, and made a fuss about the diamond she had before.

Because it is a private trip, there is no one else except the driver.

The car door was opened by Yan Chaoyu for her, Wen Zhen just sat down, the air conditioner in the car rose in temperature, the spring night was slightly cool, his driver was very considerate and thoughtful, Wen Zhen trimmed the skirt tassel, half of the satin-like green silk hung down to her bare arm, black and white, the waist collapsed slightly, and the curvature of her waist socket was outlined under the intimate clothing.

Wen Zhen was about to raise her waist to arrange her hair, when a dark shadow on her side covered the light source outside the car, and a pair of warm and wide hands gently hooked her hair, pulling it behind her ears, and the movement did not stop, and a wisp of citrus tobacco bubbled by.

On the return trip, Xu drank wine together at night, and the spring breeze outside the window was intoxicating.

Her eyelashes curled, recalling the intimate act just now, the hand hanging at her side stiffened slightly, and the partition rose, overlapping the shadows of the two.

In the reflection picture, the big distinct hands seem to fall under the waist and sink a little.

Suddenly, Wen Zhen's cheeks flushed.

His aura grew stronger, as if he was encircling her.

Wen Zhen lost his mind for a moment, until there was a click in his ears, the sound of untying the seat belt.

Raising his eyelashes up, it was the man's rolling Adam's apple, and then up, there were those smiling eyes, which collided with her unexpectedly, Yan Chaoyu's voice was heavy: "Why are you wandering?" ”

It was originally an extremely ordinary question, but it made Wen Zhen's hot cheeks from heating up to his earlobes.

"Ah......?" Wen Zhen's red lips are slightly open.

"Unbuckle your seatbelts, you're home." He chuckled.

Wen Zhen followed his slightly raised chin and looked out of the car window, in the time she was distracted, she had already arrived at Jingyu Mansion, and the picture that flashed just now was just a convenient action for him.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a secret breath and lowered her head slightly, wanting to dispel the discomfort on her face and avoid being noticed by him.

"Thank you."

With that, she turned her head sideways to open the door, but was quickly stepped up by one hand.

The car door was pressed open by him from behind, and the second he approached, the thin fabric seemed to rub his shirt intentionally or unintentionally, and the world became dim, and Wen Zhen's back stiffened subconsciously.

The night breeze poured in through the crack in the car door, making people's minds a little clearer.

Yan Chaoyu said: "Actually, there is something, I want to confess, I received the blazer this morning, and I really wanted to see you at that time, so I asked about your itinerary, and when I learned that you were in Bolin, I came over." ”

"So today's meeting is not accidental."
