Chapter XI

At eleven o'clock in the evening, a dark gray Koenigsegg drove into the vicinity of the mouth of Lancheng Bay and slowly stopped in front of a store at the entrance of Deep Alley.

The name of the store is SPACE, and it is a winery.

As soon as I walked into the hall, a waiter came to answer me.

Walk through a long, quiet corridor to a terrace with a view of the sea.

As soon as the footsteps arrived, a figure sitting on his back turned over and beckoned to him: "Mr. Yan has a lot of opportunities, it's really good to wait." ”

The man's Mandarin was still a little accented, Yan Chaoyu pulled out a chair and sat down beside him, and a full glass of special wine was already placed in front of him.

Just holding it in your hand, you don't need to smell it, you know that it is a glass of brandy with a high concentration.

"Mr. Jin just let me drink it?"

"Brothers fight officially, who do you not drink?"

Yan Chaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and chuckled lightly: "Yes, I'll drink." ”

With that, the man neatly raised his glass and drank it down, and then turned the wine glass around.

Jin Xiangdong couldn't help laughing: "I'm going to see that Miss Wen tonight, right?" ”

Yan Chaoyu didn't hide it, but he didn't admit it, just quietly played with the glass in his hand.

I thought he would be silent all the time, but the man asked, "Obviously? ”

Jin Xiangdong: "......"

"Look at your smug face, put it in ancient times, I thought you were going to be the champion of today's gold list."

Yan Chaoyu smiled: "Not really." ”

"I'll just say you kid, the night of the Bay Dinner was deliberate, deliberately letting the girl jump into your trap and make such a big bend."

Jin Xiangdong's Mandarin is exceptionally pure, with a slight northern accent.

Although the Jin family is a Hong Kong tycoon, few people know that the courtyard house that Grandma Jin bought when she moved to Beijing in the early years was the same alley as the Yan family's old house.

Yes, at that time, Jin Xiangdong followed his grandmother to study in the north, and the fate of the two began from then on.

Now, he and Jin Xiangdong have known each other for more than ten years.

A few times they clinked glasses, and the bottle of wine on the table was already halfway through, and the two of them raised their eyes to look out the window at the dark sea where the tide was surging.

Yan Chaoyu lowered his eyes, his thumb subconsciously pressed the second knuckle of his index finger, paused and said, "To the east." ”

Jin Xiangdong responded lightly.

"I'm getting married."

Jin Xiangdong: "Oh, then you have another drink, count me as inviting you." ”

After a second of delay, he suddenly turned his head, met the man's smiling eyes, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "??? ”

"The fiancée I mentioned to you before is Wen Zhen."

Immediately afterwards, the winery's soft music was mixed with a sentence of national quintessence.

The color of the wine was very dark, and it flowed through his throat, and he only felt a little drunk when he drooped his eyelashes, perhaps the night was intoxicating.

-

When Wen Zhen came home that night, he almost slept on the pillow.

Until the next day, warm sunlight poured in through the bedroom window and poured over the soft off-white veil. Wen Zhen was woken up by the biological clock, staring at the milky white ceiling with stunned eyes, and slowly came back to his senses.

The constant temperature air conditioning is online 24 hours a day, and Wen Zhen is barefoot in the bed and opens the curtains and windows, allowing the sun to shine in.

She lives on a high floor, and she can barely smell the damp smell of the ground outside the window.

When I opened my phone and saw an orange warning text message on the lock screen, I realized that there had been a rainstorm in the middle of the night.

In addition, there is also a WeChat message bombardment from his cousin Yi Dong.

I should have wanted to ask her about the progress of Bolin's affairs, thinking of this, Wen Zhen lowered her eyelashes, and remembered what she had said last night.

His fingers were poked indiscriminately, and he was thinking about how to reply, when a red dot popped up on the WeChat interface.

It's a friend request.

The applicant's avatar is blurry, blue, like the sea, and the screen name is a simple letter "Y".

Everything is combined, and the answers obtained, Wen Zhen has already concluded, especially, see the answer on the application page -

Y: [I'm Yan Chaoyu.] 】

He really likes to introduce himself.

Combined with this person's serious appearance, he curled the corners of his lips in a small arc, rubbed his eyes and went to wash first, and planned to pick up and then agree and reply, but he didn't expect that just after wiping the toner, he saw another message pop up on WeChat, or from a friend verification.

Y: [Are you awake?]

Isn't this man a little more patient?

Wen Zhen mixed the skin oil in his hand into the powder, and while using the puff to dip a small amount, he poked the screen and clicked in agreement.

The first is that the system sends it automatically, and the second is that she is 'busy' typing.

Wen Zhen: [I passed your friend verification request, now we can start chatting]

Wen Zhen: [I'm awake.] 】

Two popped up in a row, and the other side began to sink into the other party's input almost in a second's state of receipt.

Wen Zhen quickly put on a light base makeup, turned off the phone on the other side, opened the tablet and entered his work email.

Since the last time I returned to Lancheng from Shanghai, I said goodbye to my agent Wen Shan at the airport, and she also ushered in a small long vacation for a period of time.

Last night, she and Yan Chaoyu discussed going back to Beijing together, and saw the old man of the Yan family, since she decided to go back, Wen Zhen also planned to take advantage of some leisure during this time to run at both ends of Donglin and the theater.

As for the e-mail from Bolinshen to the East, I have received a reply this morning.

Although the major shareholder has changed, Wen Zhen's authority in Donglin remains unchanged, and Wen Zeliang doesn't want to meddle in the affairs over there anymore, so he doesn't stop it.

Exiting the work email, Wen Zhen remembered the mobile phone on the side.

Y: [Send the ID number later, Assistant Chen is booking tickets.] 】

Wen Zhen quickly typed in a string of numbers to reply.

On the other end of the phone, the man's eyes stopped in the middle of this long string of numbers, although he had already known that she was six years younger than himself, but when he really saw the year of birth, he compared Wen Zhen with his own numbers, there was a gap at the beginning of the year, Yan Chaoyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and then long-pressed the string of numbers to collect.

Chen Zhu glanced at the time: "Boss, the ticket is booked at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the landing time is five twenty, and the time to rush from the airport to the old house is almost just dinner time." ”

Yan Chaoyu lowered his eyes and stared at his phone, and asked again: "Everything is ready?" ”

It was rare to see the boss looking at his mobile phone all the time, and Chen Zhu quickly retracted his gaze: "I have arranged for someone to be ready and waiting at the airport." ”

Yan Chaoyu bowed slightly, typed out the last word, and clicked send.

When he received the news, Wen Zhen put on milk tea lipstick, looked in the mirror and was talking to Yi Dong on the phone: "Yes, I have to fly back to Beijing today, everything is ready, you go back to Los Angeles early to go to class, do you hear?" ”

"I know, I know, since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that she doesn't need me anymore, I'll send a message back to my mother, and I'll book today's ticket to go back," When he was about to hang up, Yi Dong cleared his throat and smiled, and added a serious sentence: "By the way, sister, remember to call me if you have anything, and promise to be on call, just like when you were a child." ”

Wen Zhen's eyes suddenly reddened, and his tone was still teasing: "Okay, how old am I, you kid still don't worry about me, go back to accompany your girlfriend, don't let people wait for a long time, when you return home from summer vacation in June, I will pick a gift for you." ”

"Then my rich sister, your call has been recorded, remember to cash it out when the time comes."

At the end of the 20-minute call, a new message pops up in the green software.

Y: [The ticket has been booked. A screenshot of the boarding time is attached.

Wen Zhen: [Okay, see you at the airport?] 】

On the chat interface, he came back with a picture in seconds, it was a photo of the gate of Jingyufu, judging the location according to the picture, the angle of the building he photographed was facing the building where she was, Wen Zhen already knew where his car was parked, she just typed back, and a message jumped out one after another-

[Are you downstairs? 】

[Yes, I'm waiting for my fiancée.] [Smiling face]]

The hand that landed on the trunk bar paused slightly, she felt her heart rate accelerate strangely, and repeated the smiling face at the end of him, Wen Zhen's fingertips paused in the emoji bar, a little confused, and she really couldn't think of how to reply.

From going out to locking it to taking the elevator downstairs, and finally to seeing a familiar figure standing in front of the familiar car.

The second she appeared, the man spun around and strode towards her, first setting up her white suitcase covered with Disney, then opening and driving for her, careful with every step.

There was still time to spare, and the two had a light lunch near the airport, and Wen Zhen suddenly realized that whenever he got along with him, it seemed that everything was flowing according to his prescribed order.

Like yesterday, and like now.

Until he got on the plane, when there were clear clouds passing by outside the porthole, Wen Zhen looked sideways at the man on the side, he was working on the computer with his eyes down, serious and handsome.

This is the first time that she has observed Yan Chaoyu so openly.

It's also amazing, just overnight, it should be said that just a dinner time, their relationship changed too quickly, Wen Zhen sighed secretly, the mobile phone screen was dimmed, even if there was protection from the privacy model, the three words 'fiancée' on the chat interface were as hot as flames.

"What are you looking at?"

A cold voice reached my ears.

Wen Zhen's wrist shook, and he immediately pressed the screen, raised his eyes and looked calm as usual, "Look at the time." ”

"What time is it?"

Wen Zhen didn't expect him to ask, and was stunned for a second: "......"

Seeing her red lips moving and her clear eyes dodging, Yan Chaoyu forcibly suppressed the smile on her lips, silently closed her Mac book, shifted her attention to her watch, and glanced at it.

"There's still half an hour, you can rest again, I'll watch the time."

Wen Zhen: "......"

Until the two of them pushed their suitcases and left the cabin, the embarrassment on the plane made Wen Zhen's ears not dissipate, but fortunately she was covered by her hair today, and her cheeks were red...... It's a pure lust makeup that has become popular recently, and she doesn't wear eye makeup anyway......

As soon as they stepped out of the T1 exit, a black Maybach drove up to the duo in the parking lane.

The driver bowed his head slightly to Yan Chaoyu, and called Mr. Yan immediately wanted to get out of the car and carry the suitcase, Yan Chaoyu only said no, quickly put things into the trunk, and then opened the door and got into the car with her, and a whole set of actions came down neatly and simply.

The car drove into the elevated highway and looked like a swift cheetah on the winding arterial road.

Wen Zhen straightened the folds of the knitted sweater, and suddenly remembered another thing: "Let's go to the nearest mall first, I want to buy something." ”

Yan Chaoyu looked at her teasingly: "What do you want to buy?" ”

After experiencing just now, Wen Zhen suddenly noticed the smile in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his eyes: "Meet the gift, I am a junior, and it is always difficult to go empty-handed." ”

Hearing her so calmly, Yan Chaoyu pretended not to care and said: "What's wrong, grandfather and he don't lack gifts, and there is nothing at home, just Miss Wen can go to dinner with peace of mind." ”

“…… It's polite. ”

"Really?" Yan Chaoyu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and replied: "Gift-giving is not bureaucracy? My family has been clear for generations. ”

The ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, Wen Zhen rated him first in his heart.

Who can achieve the leader in the domestic business circle, and who can do Yan Gongzi, who is said to collect luxury cars, cruise ships, and private jets, just like stamp collecting?

But one day not long after, Wen Zhen witnessed with his own eyes that it was not said that Yan Chaoyu's strength was there, and he couldn't shake it, he couldn't shake it at all.

And in this regard, his cousin Yi Dong later said that this is every man's dream.

After a moment of silence, Yan Chaoyu decided not to tease her anymore, and only motioned for her to look at the front seat.

There is a row of gift boxes on display, both men and women, with different styles and categories, which can be described as comprehensive.

Wen Zhen counted the sixteen servings, and she couldn't help but smack her tongue a little, not because she needed to give so many gifts, but because she was surprised by the amount of effort he had put into it overnight.

Those gift boxes are not randomly selected at a glance.

Wen Zhen couldn't help but ask, "When did you prepare all this?" ”

"If I say it was premeditated, would you believe it?"

Wen Zhen nodded, almost without hesitation.

Yan Chaoyu originally had the intention of teasing her, but she couldn't help but laugh at her actions, so she had to raise her eyebrows and admit defeat, "I did have a premeditated plan, dinner starts at six o'clock, grandfather is a person who is very well-behaved, we can't be late, so we can only wronged Miss Wen, temporarily use what I prepared, not thoughtful, after dinner, I will drive you to buy." ”

This answer instantly made Wen Zhen stunned, she blinked, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Yan Chaoyu had divine power and insight into her thoughts, and asked her regardless of the topic: "When you see your elders for the first time, do you feel nervous?" ”

Wen Zhen didn't hide it, and bowed his head slightly: "There will be a little, but my acting skills are good." ”

He is so good at enlivening the atmosphere, Wen Zhen naturally will not be unappreciative.

Receiving this answer, Yan Chaoyu's eyes were filled with smiles.

The Yan family's old house is located in the old alley of the main city, and is a courtyard house that has followed the traditional Chinese style since the alley.

There are two stone lions in front of the door, and there is a plaque on the beam of the gate room, which is inscribed with two gilded characters of "Yan House" with great effort, and the tail end is also engraved with a seal.

The outside of the door is still quaint, and the servants in the house are introduced into the door, only to know that there is a cave.

The Wen family has made a fortune since the Republic of China, and the foundation is stable, but it is still a new era enterprise, and the old mansion is still using some European styles.

The long corridor and the curved bridge, the pavilion and the pavilion, where is just a courtyard, put it a hundred years ago, this is probably a palace is not an exaggeration.

That is, the pillars everywhere are hung with carved lanterns, and the tops of the beams and pillars are painted with colorful paintings, Wen Zhen has little research on art, and he can't distinguish the dynasty, but he can be sure that this is an authentic work.

Xu was aware that she was carefully observing the building, Yan Chaoyu lowered his voice and spoke to her: "This house is an ancestral house, my grandfather grew up here, and the older generation is relatively old-fashioned, so I know since I can remember that he paid special attention to the maintenance and repair of this house, until several uncles in the family grew up to buy a house in the convenience of Beijing, and only my grandfather and I were left in this house, and later, I grew up and only my grandfather was left, and these gardeners and nannies and aunts hired in the family, so, What you see now may seem a bit pompous. ”

Listening to him talking, Wen Zhen inexplicably felt that the heart hanging from the door had a landing point, and she raised her eyelashes to meet the man's Qi Qin eyes.

She replied softly, "I don't think it's exaggerated." ”

"It's just that I knew that your home was a palace, so I should have changed into a formal suit."

The woman's voice was soft and soft, and she turned the weeping flower door, which was full of pear blossoms and green branches.

White and green are staggered, dotted with a yellowish stamen.

It was about to be six o'clock in Beijing, and the sunset sprinkled on her black hair without hesitation, covering her with a thin layer of soft light.

Yan Chaoyu's gaze stayed for a long time.

Until the main hall of the courtyard, there was a noise of sounds, which broke this beautiful wave in an instant.
