Ning Zhi saw at a glance, in the smoke, quietly making tea.

He wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses with silver wires, and his temperament was lazy, his shirt was unbuttoned, his cuffs were pulled up to his elbows, and his wrist, which he usually wore to sign a watch, was now slightly flipped to pour her a cup of tea.

I don't know if it's the feeling he gave her, or if the temperature of the air conditioner in this room is really low, Ning Zhi always feels that it's colder inside than outside.

She sat down quietly, not taking the cup of tea in front of her.

The man lifted his eyes, and his voice was low and pleasant, revealing the gentleness of the person who belonged to the superior: "Miss Ning, we meet again." ”

Looking at each other, Ning Zhi's heart beat unconsciously.

"It's ...... you"

It turned out that it was in the parking lot that day, and it wasn't her delusion, he really recognized her.

Ning Zhi regretted more and more that she hadn't taken a look at his information in advance, and it seemed that it was even more difficult to fight against such an opponent than for her to be admitted to the attached medical institution.

She unconsciously rubbed the wall of the cup, hesitating whether to strike first, the man opposite suddenly got up, walked to the window, pushed the window open, and took out a cigarette, "Do you mind?" ”

Ning Zhi shook his head: "You are free." ”

The Blue restaurant is built around the garden, and the irregular polygonal windows are like a picture frame, framing the spring colors of the garden.

However, all this is not as good as the man leaning against the window and slowly lighting a cigarette.

In all fairness, aside from his extravagance, his appearance is undoubtedly good-looking.

is different from the current popular strong appearance, he prefers a mature and noble light face.

Thin inner double, high nose bridge, just the right thinness of the lips, and a clear jawline.

He bent his elbows on the windowsill, lowered his head and chewed on his cigarette, his back slightly concave, and then a slightly relaxed posture.

With a little nonchalance.

The room was foggy, the pale gray smoke shrouded his face, and the cold white complexion looked more and more cool at the moment.

Ning Zhi waited quietly for him to finish a cigarette.

The room was quieter than Fang Cai, except for the gurgling of boiling tea, no one spoke for a while.

Ning Zhi unexpectedly didn't feel that time was difficult.

"Miss Ning." He finished smoking a cigarette and let the spring breeze blow away the smell of smoke in the room before closing the window and sitting back across from her.

The gaze was sharp for a moment.

If he hadn't known that this was a blind date bureau, Ning Zhi would probably use the table in front of him as a negotiation table.

The appetizer is over and the main course is ready to be served.

The man opened his lips unhurriedly: "I am a businessman, and I pay attention to efficiency. ”

Ning Zhi smiled, his voice was very soft, and he picked up the topic: "Mr. Xi is more like a scholar. ”

The man seemed to pull his lower lip, but he didn't, and looked at her with a little scrutiny.

To be honest, he has a sense of oppression when he looks at people, and Ning Zhirao is calm, and the hand on the table unconsciously clasps his palm.

She came on a blind date, just to reassure her grandmother, and as for falling in love and getting married, she didn't even think about it.

Ning Zhi originally planned to persuade the other party to deal with the parents together, but at that time, he said that the two had incompatible personalities and really couldn't get along.

But now it seems that the other party is not a good person.

I don't know if her plan will succeed......

Ning Zhi picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked as if he had no intention of asking: "Do you think that people who have only met one or two sides sit down to talk about marriage, which is very similar to eating first and then cooking, but in fact, the cart is turned upside down, and the order is wrong?" ”

Xi Lanyu glanced at her faintly and motioned for her to continue.

Ning Zhi lowered her eyes, the hand holding the cup tightened, and then, she sat up straight, and met his gaze: "Today's meeting is a family arrangement, to be honest, marriage is not in my consideration for the time being, I'm afraid I can't give Mr. Xi the 'efficiency' he wants." ”

After Ning Zhi finished speaking, he picked up his bag and got up.

The other party is a smart person, and instead of being roundabout, she should be straightforward and show her attitude.

Anyway, he will see through it in the end.

The smell of cedar mixed with tobacco flowed slowly in the house, and the doorknob was a little cold, reflecting the impersonal scene in the house, Ning Zhi suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she lived in her grandmother's house, and she always loved to climb up to the roof to watch the cold moon.

The moment the door was pushed, a male voice sounded casually behind him, "How did Miss Ning know that she couldn't give it?" ”

The certainty in that tone made her pause in the action of pushing the door.

Chapter 02

There was a brief silence.

Ning Zhi's hand pushing the door was slightly stronger, and the box door closed again.

Xi Lanyu sat in place and made a cup of tea for her again, and said slowly, "Miss Ning, the choice is yours." ”

The comfortable tone made Ning Zhi believe that whether she left or stayed, the other party had a way to make her cooperate willingly.

Ning Zhi sat back and raised his eyes: "Mr. Xi won't be trying to be strong, right?" ”

Xi Lanyu seemed to think that her question was funny, so she took a sip of tea unhurriedly and replied with a smile: "Now is a society under the rule of law, Miss Ning doesn't have to worry." ”

Ning Zhi asked, "Then what does this mean?" ”

The tea soup was filled with a breath of heat, the tea leaves were high-quality, and the aroma was overflowing, but Ning Zhi didn't have the heart to taste it, and there was a sense of uneasiness that life was about to lose control.

Xi Lanyu: "I'm just giving Miss Ning a choice." ”

Ning Zhi: "What kind of choice?" ”

Xi Lanyu avoided this topic and let her eat some flower cakes with tea.

Ning Zhi knew that this person was using game tricks to talk about marriage, just to see who was more patient, but she was a person in the game, and she couldn't do a calm analysis at the moment, so it was difficult to hold back every minute and second.

She picked up the flower cake, distracting herself and calming herself.

I don't know how long it took, Xi Lanyu finally spoke: "To be honest, I agree with Miss Ning's attitude towards marriage, but have you ever thought that there are actually some drawbacks to this." ”

Ning Zhi: "For example? ”

Ning Zhi crossed his hands and rested on the table to look at him.

Even at such a moment, her face was still faint, and she quickly regained her calm after a slight impatience, just like a white camellia in the mirror, which was impressive but unattainable.

Xi Lanyu lowered his eyes slightly: "For example, because of her identity and unmarried, there will be countless occasions when the family gets together and is actually a blind date, just like now, Miss Ning clearly does not want to come over, and finally she is forced to appear here." ”

Ning Zhi didn't speak for a while, in fact, she was also thinking about this issue, not to mention Qian Weiyuan, as far as her grandmother was concerned, she could cope with it for a while today, so what about it in the future, could she handle it for a lifetime?

Ning Zhi straightened his expression and looked at him: "Mr. Xi said this, he must have thought of a way to deal with it?" ”

He has a unique temperament that does not move the eight winds, even if the sky falls in front of him, he probably won't move his eyelids.

Therefore, when he said those three words, Ning Zhi almost thought that he had heard it wrong and asked him to say it again, Xi Lanyu's tone was unwavering, and he repeated calmly: "Fake marriage." ”

Ning Zhi's eyes became a little subtle when he looked at him.

She is not a child, and she has heard some rumors, such as when a person is not close to women, maybe not because the person is self-disciplined, but because he may be close to men.

And some of them are immoral, and they will cover up their sexual orientation by cheating on marriage.

Although Ning Zhi respects everyone's preferences, she firmly opposes the use of deception to satisfy her own selfish desires.

"What is the reason for a fake marriage? Just because of what you're talking about, or ......"

Do you have a secret to tell?

Ning Zhi almost wrote "Do you want to cheat on marriage and let me be the same wife" on her face, which shows that this touches her bottom line.

Xi Lanyu glanced at her, and explained patiently, "Miss Ning, to be honest, I have no intention of getting married, but my father is really urging me hard, which has seriously interfered with my life." I would rather find a like-minded partner than to marry a lady who is looking forward to marriage and will be let down by me in the future. ”

"That's the reason, and it's Miss Ning's choice."

It is estimated that the other party rarely said so many things at once, which cannot be described as insincere.

But this is an angle that Ning Zhi has never imagined, not to mention the fake marriage, she has only seen it on TV, it really happened to her, and she is still a party, she only feels outrageous with a hint of absurdity.

Maybe.

But it needs to be carefully considered.

Ning Zhi took a deep breath, drank the cup of tea, and said, "Mr. Xi, I need time to think about it. ”

"Nature." Xi Lanyu's voice was calm, as if he was promising an inconsequential little thing.

Ning Zhi nodded very lightly, got up to say goodbye, and was about to push the door, she turned around, and her voice was faint: "There is one more thing." ”

Xi Lanyu: "What's the matter?" ”

Ning Zhi raised his chin and pointed to the dim sum on the table: "If Mr. Xi really wants to cooperate with me, I hope we can trust each other." Investigate something like this with me, and it's better not to have a next time. ”

The snacks on the table were all sweets, and he didn't take a sip, proving that they were not to his taste, and they were all prepared for her.

Qian Weiyuan would not send him everything about her preferences, not to mention, Qian Weiyuan didn't know what she liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat.

The only possibility is that this Mr. Xi had already figured out her bottom before coming over today.

Ning Zhi really didn't like this feeling.

The undercurrent is surging, the eyes meet, and they do not show weakness to each other.

After a while, Xi Lanyu suddenly pushed away the chair and got up, he was really tall, and almost the moment he stood up, Ning Zhi felt that his momentum was suppressed by him.

The smell of cedar is approaching, cold and cold.

Xi Lanyu walked to her side, leaned over slightly, jumped behind her with one hand, pushed open the door and said, "Let's go, send Miss Ning." ”

-

Until he got home, Ning Zhi didn't figure out whether he had promised her not to investigate her anymore.

She almost dejectedly thought that maybe she was already like a transparent person in front of him, and what was the point of insisting on this.

Maybe you shouldn't think about it anymore, and you shouldn't have an intersection again.

Can...... His proposal really appealed to her.
