At nightfall, before it was completely dark, Liu Yanbo drove his broken Chery to Tianshui Bar.
The bar is a good place—
People who have worked hard all day unload all their burdens and come here to let go of the vicissitudes of life they have experienced during the day, drink glasses of spirits and fine wines in the sound of passionate music, and dance like crazy .
Here, some people will point their middle finger to the air when they are not drunk, and scold a fucking life.
Here, some people will drink and laugh with people they know well, or even strangers they don't know well.
Here, some people will hide in the dimly lit corner with a blank face, and then burst into tears at a certain moment.
…
Not long after the rain stopped, the air outside was still very humid. After Liu Yanbo took a deep breath almost greedily, he lowered his head and walked into the already enthusiastic Tianshui Bar.
He's not one to hang out in bars, not for any particular reason, but just a little too loud.
As soon as he stepped into the bar, the heavy metal music made Liu Yanbo's scalp numb. He shook his head, which was starting to feel heavy, and squeezed through the dancing crowd. He went straight to the second floor.
The staff of Tianshui Bar already had a deep impression of Liu Yanbo, knowing that he was very familiar with his boss, and it was no surprise that he, who was not a regular customer, would run to the second floor as soon as he came.
The security guards standing at the stairs all smiled and nodded, asking him to go up to the second floor.
What's more, seeing Liu Yanbo coming, Hei Lao San immediately beckoned to evacuate all the security guards on the second floor to the first floor. He didn't know whether it was Ji Ruyan's order or his own insight.
Knocking on the door of the office, there was a sound of trotting inside.
"Coming?" Ji Ruyan opened the door and stepped aside. "Come in, the food is just ready."
There are four dishes on the coffee table in the office, three dishes and one soup, all of which are very common home-cooked dishes.
Liu Yanbo was also polite, and sat down on the sofa generously, then took out a small boxy gift box from his trouser pocket and handed it to Ji Ruyan, a little embarrassed, said: "Sister Ruyan, give it to your."
Ji Ruyan was not hypocritical, she took the gift box happily and asked, "What is it? Can I open it now?"
This was the first time Liu Yanbo gave Ji Ruyan something, and she was looking forward to it.
It's not about whether the gift is worth the money, but about the intention.
"Open it and have a look, it's not something precious, and I don't know if you'll like it." Liu Yanbo touched his nose. This is a small habit of his, and he will only do it subconsciously when there are obvious emotional fluctuations-he is very unconfident now.
He had always thought of himself as not a gift picker.
But when it comes to giving other people real objects as gifts, Liu Yanbo will always struggle for a long time and can't choose a reason. In the end, he chooses based on his feeling in a state of no confidence.
"What you gave is the most precious."
After speaking, Ji Ruyan carefully opened the gift box. It is a drop-shaped jade pendant.
A few days ago, Liu Yanbo went on a long trip and spent two days bringing back five jade pendants of different sizes.
A pair of dragon and phoenix jade was given to Gao Yuanqiu and his wife, and two were given to Yin Hanruo and Lin Xue respectively, and the last one was given to Ji Ruyan.
White as suet, cool to the touch, fine and smooth in texture, exudes a soft and moist luster under the light, crystal clear like real water droplets, without any blemishes.
"so beautiful."
After admiring, Ji Ruyan first took off the exquisite necklace on her neck, then took out the jade pendant in the gift box, and said shyly, "Can you help me put it on?"
Liu Yanbo smiled, and touched his nose again.
For a moment, he felt that it was not good to do so, and he felt guilty.
-Um! It's all Yin Hanruo's fault.
However, this sense of guilt was quickly replaced by greater resentment.
But Liu Yanbo remembers very clearly that when he gave Yin Hanruo the little Jade Buddha that he thought was the most beautiful among the five jade pendants, the woman's disgusted face didn't even take a second look, let alone wearing it. up.
Their relationship is always good and bad. When it is good, they respect each other like a guest, but when it is bad, they are extremely jealous.
The day I gave the jade pendant happened to be bad—
Liu Yanbo took the jade pendant and put it on for her under Ji Ruyan's gentle gaze.
"Does it look good on me?" Ji Ruyan asked impatiently.
Suet white jade, snow-white skin. Beauty is like jade, and jade is like beauty.
Liu Yanbo admired sincerely: "It's beautiful."
Looking at the beautiful woman with beautiful jade in front of him, the resentment in his heart deepened: Yin Hanruo, you really have a problem with your woman's vision, too bad!
"I think it looks good too." Ji Ruyan was satisfied with Liu Yanbo's praise. "Would you like some wine?"
"I won't drink tonight, I came here by car." Liu Yanbo smiled and waved his hand.
"Then I'll help you serve the meal." Ji Ruyan got up and walked to the kitchen.
Just like last time, the two sat on the same sofa, enjoying this warm dinner time.
During the period, Ji Ruyan would pick up a chopstick dish for Liu Yanbo from time to time, and Liu Yanbo didn't just bury his head in the binge eating. The two of them chatted with each other, not talking about business, just chatting about their preferences. Occasionally gossip about things that have nothing to do with me...
At this time, this office really has a taste of home.
After eating, Liu Yanbo wanted to help when tidying up the dishes, but Ji Ruyan pushed him back on the sofa. He just raised his legs and smoked like a grandpa, watching the beautiful back in the kitchen Busy.
This taste really made him greedy.
Ji Ruyan's reputation is not very good, she is a famous femme fatale in the underworld, cold-blooded and vicious is always synonymous with her.
It's not her fault, everything is forced by the environment. In the underground world surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards, the little sheep cannot survive.
But such a woman with a bad reputation is willing to be a warm and virtuous woman for Liu Yanbo, showing her most beautiful side for him.
Isn't this intention enough
Even if he is a fool, it is impossible not to understand her intentions, right
In fact, since being messed up by Pan Yuyi that night, Liu Yanbo's heart has already loosened a lot, and he no longer has the decisive heart of rejection like the last time we had dinner together. Otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared a gift for Ji Ruyan when he went to other places to prepare gifts.
What's more, when Liu Yanbo was eating just now, he thought about it, if the one-year marriage contract between himself and Yin Hanruo came to the end of the day of divorce. In the life after that, Ji Ruyan would be his best choice.
Yes.
In Liu Yanbo's heart, he has begun to yearn for Ji Ruyan's warmth towards him, for her beauty. (to be continued)
