Chapter 45: Wedding Rings

A light rain was pouring outside the window, and inside the coffee shop, the aroma of coffee was overflowing, and an old song was playing in the background.

"Have you been overseas all these years?" Ye Mian supported his cheek with one hand, looked at Xu Mobai opposite, and asked with a smile.

She remembers that ten years ago, his family had suffered an accident, his parents divorced, and he moved to England with his mother. After that, she came to the capital and cut off contact with him.

Xu Mobai took a sip of coffee and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief before answering her: "Yes, I just returned to China three months ago." ”

faded away from the youth of his youth, and now he exudes the temperament of elegance and elegance in his gestures.

Even if he hasn't seen him for ten years, Ye Mian still has a sense of affection for him when he was a child.

"No wonder I didn't meet you when I went back to Xun Town to play in previous years." Ye Mian's tone was slightly lost.

"Do you go back often? The people in Xun Town said that there was no whereabouts of you all these years, and I was looking for you during this time, but it was easy to find. Xu Mobai pushed the frame of the glasses, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at her.

The little girl who was weak and needed his protection is now generous and beautiful. I just heard her say that this coffee shop is her investment.

"I haven't had time to go back in the past three years, and when I used to go to college, I would go back with my friends during the holidays, but I didn't meet anyone I knew before."

Ye Mian recalled that when she was a child, because of her status as an illegitimate daughter, she was often looked down upon in the town, and there was no need to contact the previous people.

Only Xu Mobai is the little friend she has always kept in mind.

"Mianmian, I am looking for you this time, not only to catch up with you, but also a very important matter, which is related to Su embroidery, but, I heard that you studied finance in college?" He said to her in a big brother-like tone.

Hearing this, Ye Mian nodded ashamedly, "Yes, but I have recently picked up Suzhou embroidery again, and the craftsmanship passed on to me by my grandmother is still there." ”

"It's my grandmother who asked me to come to you, she is the president of the Sioux City Embroidery Association, recently the association is helping the Sioux City Museum to restore the dragon robe of the Qing Dynasty, involving a lot of lost techniques, no one can take over, you are the successor of Master Fang Qingmei, her old man thought of you." Xu Mobai explained his intentions.

"Is it convenient for you here?"

Seeing that her face changed slightly, Xu Mobai asked softly.

After Ye Mian secretly made a decision in his heart, he said firmly: "It's convenient." ”

The two drank coffee and chatted for a while before checking out and leaving.

As soon as he got out of the coffee shop, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the door of the store, and a man in black got out of the passenger seat, he held up an umbrella and opened the door of the back seat of the car.

A man with a noble temperament got out of the car, he took the umbrella from the bodyguard, and walked towards a pair of handsome men and beauties at the door of the café.

In the rain and fog, seeing Qiao Zhanbei, Ye Mian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, why did he come?

She was thinking about how to introduce him to Xu Mobai, and he had already arrived, bringing a hint of clear woody fragrance.

"Mrs. Qiao, I just picked you up from the store, you are not there, who is this gentleman?"

Qiao Zhanbei had a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, said to her intimately, and looked at Xu Mobai who was raw, and raised his sword eyebrows slightly.

Mrs. Joe......

Xu Mobai's expression stiffened slightly, and he returned to nature in an instant, and he nodded politely to Qiao Zhanbei.

Qiao Zhanbei, who is well-known in the business world, of course Xu Mobai knew, but he never thought that Ye Mian would be his wife.

"He is the youngest of my hometown in Sioux City, Xu Mobai. Brother Mo Bai, he's me...... Sir, Qiao Zhanbei. When Ye Mian introduced Qiao Zhanbei, he hesitated slightly.

Qiao Zhanbei was sensitive to this, and her attitude towards Xu Mobai was much more natural than that of him.

The man felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still stretched out his hand to Xu Mobai out of politeness.

"Hello." Xu Mobai also stretched out his hand.

Qiao Zhanbei wanted to invite Xu Mobai to dinner, but he politely refused.

They sent Xu Mobai to the car before getting into a Rolls-Royce.

"I've never heard you mention this little guy before." In the car, Qiao Zhanbei turned his face sideways, looked at Ye Mian who was sitting, and said warmly.

"He moved to the UK 10 years ago, and we met for the first time today, not long after he returned home." Ye Mian looked at the drizzle outside the car window and replied to him truthfully.

She looked cold and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"I booked a table at Bulgari's Italian restaurant in the evening, and we haven't had an appointment in a long time." Qiao Zhanbei held Ye Mian's hand and flattered her.

It was as if they had a date.

Ye Mian retorted to him in his heart, every year on her birthday, he would ask her to book a restaurant and have a meal together, it was a simple meal, not a date, and most of the topics were business.

"I have something to tell you, too." Think of it as the last supper, Ye Mian thought to himself.

In the Michelin-starred Italian restaurant, crystal chandeliers glitter, light walls and floors complement each other, and dark brown Roman columns and dining chairs reflect different shades.

Candlelight, red wine, and violin music set off a romantic atmosphere.

There are not many people in the restaurant and it is quiet.

The two sat by the huge floor-to-ceiling window with an excellent view, and the outdoor garden night view was chic.

Ye Mian didn't have much appetite, even her favorite veal with tuna sauce didn't feel delicious, and the dessert that came up at the end failed to arouse her mood.

The man opposite, using a knife and fork slowly and methodically, has an elegant posture, and in the dark light and shadow, his facial features are more three-dimensional and profound, and the knife-like lines are neat and smooth.

A bowl of cherries.

Ye Mian took a sip of red wine.

"Qiao Zhanbei—"

"Wait a minute." The man interrupted her, gently put down the knife and fork, and wiped his hands with a disinfectant towel.

Qiao Zhanbei called the waiter, and the waiter pushed a cart with a bouquet of high-grade packaging, milk tea nude pink roses, cappuccino.

There is also a royal blue jewelry box.

"Mrs. Qiao, these are flowers and gifts from Mr. Qiao." The waiter gave her a bouquet of flowers, and the jewelry box was placed on the table.

Ye Mian looked at the retro and feminine roses in her arms in a daze, exuding a faint fragrance, she couldn't think of what a special day it was.

Qiao Zhanbei helped her open the jewelry box, which was inlaid with a pair of rings, the women's ring was inlaid with a five-carat pigeon egg diamond, which was luxurious and dazzling under the light, and the men's ring was just a platinum ring, low-key and stable.

"Recently, I remembered that we only got a certificate, and we didn't even buy a ring." Qiao Zhanbei cleared his throat, smiled lightly, and said in a deep voice.

The tip of Ye Mian's nose was sour, and it was also the first time he gave her flowers.

"Originally, it was to coax Qiao's mother to get married, and I wanted any ring, but now it's not necessary." She was heartbroken, forced herself to be ruthless, and put the flowers on the table.

Qiao Zhanbei's face turned pale, and a trace of injury flashed in his deep eyes.

Knowing that she was jealous last night and in a bad mood, she just ordered the ring today, and planned to wake her up......

"Qiao Zhanbei, I'm calm now." Ye Mian looked directly at his eyebrows and said seriously, "I still decided to divorce." ”
