At the wedding window, there were not many people waiting in line, and soon it was their turn.

After completing all the procedures step by step, in less than an hour, two marriage certificates stamped with steel seals were handed over to the two of them.

Looking at the red book in his hand, Liang Zhaoyue felt unreal.

In contrast, Zhou Yunchuan's reaction was much more flat, no different from taking this qualification certificate, and his voice was calm and detached: "I have to go on a business trip these days, if there is anything or need you to contact Jiang Bai, he will help you deal with it." ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on her lightly, and her heart jumped, and she nodded calmly: "Okay." ”

Walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Liang Zhaoyue was thinking about the marriage certificate, but she couldn't help but be distracted, she didn't pay attention, bumped into a person, she subconsciously said: "I'm sorry." ”

After looking up and seeing that the person she bumped into was Zhou Yunchuan, her heart instantly rose to her throat.

Zhou Yunchuan stared at her for a while and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to school." ”

She refused without thinking about it: "No need, I'll take the subway." ”

He frowned slightly, and his tone was incomprehensible: "Come on, I have other things to tell you." ”

Seeing this, Liang Zhaoyue didn't care about whether it would delay his business trip, so he got in the car. Fastening her seat belt, she sat upright, waiting for Zhou Yunchuan to speak, and waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for him to speak.

The car was driving at a constant speed on the wide road, Liang Zhaoyue looked at him, and saw that he really didn't mean to speak, and she didn't dare to ask more.

There was silence all the way until it reached the north gate of Beicheng, and the car slowly stopped.

Zhou Yunchuan said unhurriedly: "Open the cabinet in front of you, there are three iPads in it, you choose one and use it." ”

Liang Zhaoyue was stunned, and suddenly didn't understand what he meant.

He glanced at her, repeated it patiently, and asked, "Need me help you get it?" ”

For some reason, Liang Zhaoyue actually tasted a bit of ridicule in the latter sentence.

This is a far cry from the detached and serious impression he gave her before.

In a moment's whim, she hesitantly opened the drawer under his gaze.

There are indeed three iPads inside, all of which are the latest models, and although they are all opened, they look like new ones.

Liang Zhaoyue stretched out her hand.

It was also a few seconds of hesitation, and a hand reached out in the afterglow, and after a while, a figure leaned towards her. As the man leaned side by side with him, the air around him was filled with a crisp smell of cedar.

For a moment, Liang Zhaoyue had the illusion of being in the vast snow.

Lonely and lonely.

Zhou Yunchuan took a silver iPad, put it in her hand, and then withdrew to the driver's seat.

The action is crisp and neat, not a little muddy and watery, very decisive.

As soon as he left, the crisp smell faded a little.

Liang Zhaoyue's breathing gradually returned to normal, but her thoughts were still dazed.

Could it be that he noticed the process of tossing the iPad just now?

Seeing that she was stunned, thinking that she was embarrassed to accept it, Zhou Yunchuan said: "The other two have a lot of information, this one is a backup machine, you can use it." ”

She looked down at the iPad in her hand, looked up at him again, took out her phone, and said, "How much is it, I'll transfer you." ”

A very habitual reaction.

Liang Zhaoyue didn't feel anything wrong.

Zhou Yunchuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized what she meant, and couldn't help laughing: "We just got the relationship between the certificate, are you sure you want to be so clear with me?" ”

Hearing this, Liang Zhaoyue raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of disbelief.

Zhou Yunchuan didn't care, and his tone was calm: "There is still a year in the future, and you have to adapt to the role change as soon as possible." ”

There was a kind of businesslike attitude in her voice, always reminding Liang Zhaoyue that her previous sentence was not what she thought it meant.

At the end of the day, they're just a pure partnership between Party A and Party B.

She came back to her senses, said sorry, and pulled the door to get out of the car.

The figure is a little deserted and fled.

Liang Zhaoyue got out of the car and stood on the side of the road, slightly annoyed.

How can you be completely out of shape in front of him.

At this moment, the co-pilot's window slowly lowered, and she followed the prestige to meet the gaze of Yunchuan last week.

The eyes will be a little more gentle than before, but if you want to say more, that is nothing. It's just that from his slightly unfolded eyebrows, it can be concluded that he is in a good mood at the moment.

Liang Zhaoyue found that every time she was alone with him, she always liked to speculate about him and analyze him.

A very handy behavior, which is not controlled by her instinct at all.

For example, she herself is an afterthought.

After staring at each other for a moment, Zhou Yunchuan said unhurriedly: "You don't have to say sorry for everything in the future, I'm sorry." ”

The words fell, and he drove away.

Liang Zhaoyue stood on the side of the road for a while, waiting for the car to merge into the vast traffic and no longer see a trace of shadow, before slowly walking back.

The sun was grand and bright, shining on the body, and in this gradually cold temperature, it made people feel warm inexplicably.

She blocked out the glare of light and looked up at the sky.

It is the clear sky and scorching sun mentioned in the book, and the sky is cloudless.

Very good weather.

It was also in such good weather that she got married with a person.

Although the original intention of this marriage was not what she expected, it was more of a temporary transaction that both knew each other.

Neither of them had a simple purpose.

Zhou Yunchuan is to cope with the old people in the family, and she ......

Liang Zhaoyue thought that compared to what Zhou Yunchuan thought would take what she needed, it was obvious that her 'needs' were more and more greedy.

She wanted him as a person.

Therefore, she will not let go of any opportunity to connect with him.

She was like a moth, knowing that the only way to run to the fire was to perish, but she still followed her nature and approached the light source.

-

Zhou Yunchuan's life has not changed in any way because of marriage, and he is as busy as ever.

This business trip, not only the duration, but also the itinerary was extremely intense, with meetings one after another.

It would be a break in the meeting, and he found a place where smoking was allowed but no one was there, took out a cigarette and lit it, smoking unhurriedly, trying to give his brain a moment's rest.

In the middle of the clouds, the mobile phone rang.

Thinking it was a work phone, he put his cigarette aside in the ashtray and picked it up.

Seeing that the caller prompted that it was "sister", I thought of her restless and unending personality, and I suddenly had a headache.

He picked up the cigarette, dusted it off, and put it to his mouth as he took the call.

As soon as it was connected, Meng An'an's questioning voice immediately came: "Why is there a set of clothes missing from my wardrobe!" ”

Zhou Yunchuan squinted his eyes and lost his mind for a moment.

That set of clothes was worn by Liang Zhaoyue, she mentioned that she wanted to return it, but he didn't pay attention to it, there was only one set of clothes left and right, according to the speed at which Meng An'an changed clothes, there was basically no difference between one more set and one less, let alone find out.

On a rare occasion, Meng Anan actually noticed that her wardrobe was too passing.

Meng Anan complained over there: "Did you take the woman home? That outfit is my favorite, and I still want to wear it when I climb the mountain. ”

Zhou Yunchuan exhaled, the white smoke soared into the air, and finally took care of her: "You buy a new set." ”

"Is this a matter of buying a set?" Meng Anan was angry, and was very good at grasping the point, "You actually took a woman home?" Who is that woman? ”

Zhou Yunchuan shook the ash of his cigarette and replied slowly: "Your sister-in-law." ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, followed by a scream that nearly pierced the roof.

Zhou Yunchuan seemed to have expected his sister to react like this, took the phone away, held the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to using cigarettes to relieve his tired brain.

Fortunately, he does not smoke frequently, and he has always been controlled by him in a safe and controllable range, so as not to have a dependence on cigarettes.

Any external auxiliary thing, once the psychology of dependence is generated, will inevitably go to the edge of losing control.

Thinking like this, what flashed in his mind was Liang Zhaoyue's face.

Half a month ago, when assistant Jiang Bai reported on his work in China, he mentioned Liang Zhaoyue to him superficially.

The ownership of the house in her city has been resolved, and the house and property he wants to allocate to her name have also been handled in the agreement, but she did not agree to settle in Beicheng.

The reason she gave was that there was no urgency in this matter, and she would solve it herself later.

It is difficult to settle in Beicheng, although there are corresponding policies, but with the fierce competition among people, it is not necessarily successful. Zhou Yunchuan didn't understand why she objected, but he also respected her choice and didn't ask any further.

His relationship with her lasted for a year, and then the relationship was dissolved and returned to each other's place.

If he cares too much, it will be contrary to the original plan.

Meng An'an calmed down his surprise and asked: "Where did you come from your wife, where did I come from sister-in-law, you are not celibate, who are you looking for to marry?" ”

Zhou Yunchuan said: "I'll go back after a while and take you to see her." ”

The words fell, and he had to notice another thing.

After receiving the certificate that day, he sent her back to school, and the two never contacted each other again.

It fits his requirements for this temporary marriage very well -

Simple and hassle-free.

Although the choice of Liang Zhaoyue was a sudden decision, the calm so far was what he needed.

Once again, he was sure that he had chosen the wrong person.

Meng Anan was directly shocked: "Does grandma know? ”

Zhou Yunchuan said: "Grandma knows her and likes her very much. ”

He told Liu Yitang about getting married the day after the plane landed in Manhattan the day after he got the license.

Liu Yitang was also shocked, and after seeing the marriage certificate he sent in the past, he scolded him for being ridiculous.

A few days later, she suddenly called again and said that Liang Zhaoyue was a good boy, and since she was married to someone, she had to treat someone well.

Although I don't understand why her attitude has changed so quickly, but in the past month or so, there have only been a few greeting phone calls, and Liu Yitang finally didn't bother him with marriage events and loyalty and filial piety at every turn, and his ears finally fell clean.

Zhou Yunchuan was satisfied.

Meng Anan muttered: "No wonder my grandmother has been asking me what young girls like recently, it turns out that she is trying to please your wife." ”

Hearing the word 'wife' at first glance, Zhou Yunchuan felt uncomfortable for a moment, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes!" Meng Anan hurriedly said, "Can I go to her first?" I would love to see who this woman who can make my brother bow his head and get married! ”

There was a knock at the door, it was the secretary, reminding him that the meeting was about to begin.

Zhou Yunchuan nodded, put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and said in a calm tone: "Don't bother her, I'll talk about everything when I go back." ”

said, without waiting for Meng An'an's reaction, he directly pressed the phone.

-

For more than a month, Liang Zhaoyue never saw Zhou Yunchuan again, let alone had any contact with him.

Sometimes she wonders if the marriage is something she imagined, but the marriage certificate she put in the cabinet tells her that the two of them have indeed obtained the certificate.

During this period, Jiang Bai contacted her a few times.

Once to obtain the relevant information of the house left by Grandpa Lincheng, once to handle the real estate and property allocated to her by Zhou Yunchuan, and once to settle in Beicheng.

The first two went very well, but in the last case, Liang Zhaoyue refused.

Mother Lin Tingwan is not wrong, she does plan to live in Beicheng for a long time, although it is not easy to settle in Beicheng with her ability, but this plan has become much easier after agreeing to marry Zhou Yunchuan.

Zhou Yunchuan gave too much, the house and money were enough for her to squander for the rest of her life, and even enough for her next generation to eat and wear.

Liang Zhaoyue couldn't tell why she refused.

Subconsciously, she felt that she was leaving a way out for herself.

Leave a retreat where you can leave the city at any time.

This kind of thinking borders on pessimism.

But the past experience is telling her that no matter how desperate she is, she must leave herself a chance to withdraw at any time.

That way, even if she is disappointed, she can start her life again in another city.

Liang Zhaoyue thought, obviously she and Zhou Yunchuan hadn't actually started, she was planning for the worst.

But planning ahead isn't necessarily a big deal.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.

On this day, Liang Zhaoyue was in class, and the mobile phone screen in the desk drawer suddenly lit up, she didn't notice it, but the classmate sitting in the back reminded her.

I thought it was an advertising call, and I was about to press it, but after seeing the notes on the screen, my hand hung in the air for a long time and couldn't fall.

The remark she gave to Zhou Yunchuan was "yz", and the reason why she set it this way was that one day she suddenly found that the first letters of the two people's names in pinyin had the letters "z" and "y".

I wanted to set it to "zy", but after thinking about it, she set it to "yz" again.

She hopes that his story is not to put the cart before the horse, but to come naturally.

It's like the order of the alphabet.

The teacher on the podium spoke passionately, and Liang Zhaoyue categorically couldn't answer the phone in class.

But he will not take the initiative to cut off Zhou Yunchuan's phone.

Waiting for the phone to be cut off naturally, she quickly texted him-

[Liang Zhaoyue: I'm in class, do you have something to look for me? 】

Since Zhou Yunchuan had an opinion on the title of "you", she changed it to "you".

Zhou Yunchuan replied to the message two minutes later.

[YZ: Have time at night? 】

Is he returning home?

Jiang Bai once mentioned that he had been traveling abroad on business during this time, as if to raise an M&A fund.

Liang Zhaoyue glanced at the podium and typed quickly again: [I got out of class at six o'clock, and there were no other arrangements for the evening. 】

This time, Zhou Yunchuan's reply was very fast: [I'm waiting for you at the north gate. 】

Although he knew that he should have something to find himself, he would deliberately come to the message.

can see the word "waiting for you" on the screen, and Liang Zhaoyue's joy arises spontaneously.

There was still half an hour before the end of class, but she was already praying that the time could be set up half an hour later.

She had a feeling that her days were like years.

This is the first time.

Half an hour later, the bell rang on time for the end of class, and Liang Zhaoyue, who had always had to delay time in the classroom to take notes, had already packed up his things in advance today and was waiting for the end of class.

Seeing this, Song Yue asked in a low voice, "Why are you going?" Didn't you work part-time? ”

Because of the agreement with Zhou Yunchuan, many of Liang Zhaoyue's problems have been solved, and money is no longer her biggest difficulty at present.

It happened that the children of Grandma Zhao's family were tired of practicing calligraphy and wanted to learn to draw, and Liang Zhaoyue's short-term part-time job ended. It was also a critical period for her second year of graduate school, so she didn't look for a part-time job, but devoted herself to her studies, preparing for next year's graduation thesis, and the CFA exam in February next year.

This will be asked, Liang Zhaoyue can't help but feel weak: "I'm going to see someone later." ”

Song Yue joked: "Or the man before?" ”

The man in Song Yue's mouth refers to Jiang Bai.

When Jiang Bai came to her to get information, he was bumped into by Song Yue.

She shook her head: "No, I'll tell you later, he's waiting for me, bye." ”

Looking at her distant figure, Song Yue sighed and shouted loudly: "You'd better not leave my mother behind and I'll go to find a man." ”

It was class time, and there were a bunch of people on the road, yes, Song Yue's voice fell, and the return rate was full.

Liang Zhaoyue didn't dare to look at her again, and waved her hand while trotting.

When she arrived at the north gate, she was blushing and breathing, a little panting.

She slowed down as she looked out at the makeshift parking space on the side of the road.

After a while, he found Zhou Yunchuan's car on the left-hand side.

It's a black Maybach.

At this time, he was sitting in the driver's seat, holding his mobile phone and talking.

Liang Zhaoyue stepped forward, thinking about waiting for him on the side, but unexpectedly, the door of the back seat of the car opened, and the first thing to stick out was a foot wearing high heels.

Liang Zhaoyue panicked inexplicably, and stayed where he was and didn't go any further.

The next second, a woman stepped out of the back seat of the car.

To be precise, she is a tall, extremely beautiful woman.

At that moment, all Liang Zhaoyue's joy was completely gone, and what followed was a sense of sadness of "dying before leaving the school".
