It was half past ten at night when we returned to Huguang Mansion.
It wasn't even late at night, but the surroundings were quiet. The car drove smoothly to the door, Fu Mingyu raised his head and glanced, only the lights on the first floor were on, and there were occasional figures shaking under the lights.
The door was tightly closed, and when Fu Mingyu stepped up the first steps, there were several sounds of scratching the door.
As Aunt Luo opened the door, Jin Mao pulled out his legs and jumped out, spinning around Fu Mingyu's legs.
Fu Mingyu didn't rush in, and bent down to play with Doudou for a while.
He Lanxiang came out wrapped in a shawl, leaned against the door and looked at it for a while, "Okay, your Aunt Luo wants to bring Doudou for eye drops, come in."
Hearing this, Fu Mingyu looked at Doudou's head for a while, "Sick?"
"The eyes are inflamed." He Lanxiang gave him a sideways look, "I don't care about my own dog, and I don't even know if it's sick."
After speaking, he walked in. Fu Mingyu turned around and asked Aunt Luo, "Is she in a bad mood today?"
Luo Aiyi glanced at Helanxiang's back secretly, and nodded quietly.
After entering the house, Aunt Luo found the potion and called Doudou to take the medicine aside.
"I'll come." Fu Mingyu took the potion from her and walked towards the sofa, Doudou followed him with his tail wagging.
He Lanxiang sat on the sofa and turned the book, silent.
The room was very quiet, only Doudou called out from time to time.
In the end, it is a dog, no matter how good it is, it is still dishonest when it comes to medicine.
Fu Mingyu didn't put the medicine in several times, put down the medicine impatiently, and said to Aunt Luo, "you should come."
Doudou is five years old, and he was brought to the Fu family just two months after he was born.
At first, He Lanxiang wasn't sure whether to keep her or not. She didn't like cats and dogs, but she felt lonely at home alone on weekdays. The eldest son, Fu Shengyu, is stationed in the foreign business department all year round, and he does not see each other several times throughout the year. The younger son is in the country, but it is no different from being absent, and there is not a few words in front of him.
He Lanxiang was hesitant at that time, but Fu Mingyu said he could stay.
By now, Doudou is also five years old. On weekdays, it is close to Fu Mingyu. Fu Mingyu is also very patient with it, and occasionally gives him a bath in person.
It's the first time I've seen someone so impatient today.
He Lanxiang looked at him sideways, "Did something go wrong at work today?"
"no."
"Then what happened to you?"
"nothing."
He Lanxiang turned the book hard and looked at him coldly, "The older you get, the more boring you are."
Fu Mingyu stopped talking and got up to go upstairs.
The aunt who was a housekeeper passed by him with some sundries. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the aunt was holding an open box in which was neatly folded a silk scarf with the word "Xian" embroidered on it.
After a short pause, Auntie noticed his gaze keenly and stopped to ask, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Fu Mingyu asked, "What is this?"
Based on what he knew about He Lanxiang, she generally didn't have silk scarves with embroidered characters.
Even if there is, it will only be the clothes embroidered with the word "Xiang" specially customized for her by the brand.
Sure enough, He Lanxiang on the side said, "A gift from someone else."
After she finished speaking, she flipped through the book in her hand and whispered, "I don't know what I'm showing off, who would wear a silk scarf with someone else's name embroidered on it, if it wasn't for the beautiful pattern, I'd take it to wipe the table. "
Hearing the desire to complain in He Lanxiang's tone, Fu Mingyu hurried upstairs.
It's a pity that the sky is not what people want. He was stopped halfway through.
"By the way, I forgot if you didn't mention it." He Lanxiang put down the book and looked up at Fu Mingyu, "Mr. Zheng and his wife invited us on their wedding anniversary next month, but your brother and your father have not been in the country recently. It’s okay to think about others, Mr. Zheng invited me here, it’s not appropriate for me to show up, you remember to go together.”
Zheng in Helanxiang's mouth always started out as a hotel, and naturally he is also a partner with airlines. In fact, there is no need for Helanxiang to remind him, Fu Mingyu will naturally show up.
"And, your natural pearl necklace..."
He Lanxiang suddenly changed his smile and looked at Fu Mingyu teasingly, "I think it's been at home for a few days, are you still giving it away?"
She asked Fu Mingyu that day and speculated that he bought it as a gift.
The necklace, of course, was given to the girl, and the price of this natural pearl was quite high, so it was obvious that the girl's identity was not ordinary.
Who knows that a few days have passed, and the pearl has not been touched at home.
He Lanxiang only turned on a warm yellow floor lamp, and Fu Mingyu had already walked to the stairs. He was so far away that he couldn't see his expression clearly. He only heard him say, "Send it to Mrs. Zheng."
He Lanxiang snorted lightly, slightly dissatisfied, and muttered, "I don't know if people look down on these vulgar things."
Mrs. Zheng was the one who gave He Lanxiang silk scarves, named Dong Xian.
She is a painter and an artist, unlike He Lanxiang, who opened a gallery to make money.
But He Lanxiang and her are not against each other, after all, people like them always have to maintain the harmony on the surface.
It's just that He Lanxiang is a little bit arrogant and can't get used to her on weekdays.
For example, the silk scarf she gave this time seems to have given some worthless gifts to her friends.
But who doesn't know that the brand that designs and makes silk scarves for her is notoriously difficult to find, and even Helanxiang doesn't have this custom-made silk scarf.
Thinking of this, He Lanxiang thought again: I don't know what to commemorate the second marriage, I don't want my son to go, how unlucky.
Fortunately, Fu Mingyu walked fast, otherwise he would have to listen to He Lanxiang's remarks again, which would add fuel to the fire.
And when he went to the second floor, he was even more upset when he saw the string of pearl necklaces that Aunt Luo had put away.
This necklace was indeed bought for Ruan Sixian, and the price was indeed high.
When I went to Lincheng that time, I learned about Ruan Sixian's past when I boarded the plane. Later, he went directly to Paris for work. When he came back, he wanted to talk to Ruan Sixian.
Or rather, apologize to her.
In Fu Mingyu's life, he really lacked experience in the matter of "apology".
So he thought, choose an expensive gift and externalize his apology, lest the ancestor think that he is not sincere because of his reticence.
But now, Fu Mingyu still had that song reverberating in his mind, and at the same time, all kinds of things during this period of time were still emerging.
Suddenly I felt that there was no need, no need at all.
Still apologizing
It wasn't his fault in itself, and being able to tolerate her again and again was his biggest step backward.
What's more, what Ruan Sixian has done has already exceeded his tolerance limit.
Meanwhile, a flight that had been delayed for hours due to weather finally took off.
When waiting before, the passengers were emotionally unstable, and the flight crew couldn't calm them down. Later, it was the captain who came out in person to calm down the passengers' emotions.
After entering the cruising state of level flight, Captain Fan ordered a cup of tea, took a slow sip, and asked the first officer Yu, "When are you getting married?"
"Next year." Yu co-pilot said with a smile, "Why, do you want to teach me any experience?"
Captain Fan waved his hands again and again, "No, no, women are the same when they are married, you just need to be a grandson."
After speaking, she turned around and asked Ruan Sixian, "Xiao Ruan, do you have a boyfriend?"
Before Ruan Sixian could answer, co-pilot Yu said, "It's here again, Captain Fan, you're only in your early fifties, how come you've already started to like to be a matchmaker? You don't get off the plane every day, but you don't go home. Are you going to the square dance?"
"Go!" Captain Fan pretended to give him a slap, and said with a smile, "Let me ask, Xiao Ruan is so good, she should have a boyfriend, right?"
Ruan Sixian said no, Captain Fan nodded and said nothing more.
But after a few minutes, he couldn't hold back, and he turned back and asked, "That... My son is twenty-four this year, one year younger than you, and he will graduate soon as a graduate student. He has signed a job and is in the research institute."
"Come on, let me tell you the next sentence." Yu co-pilot continued, "Xiao Ruan, would you like to meet my son?"
Captain Fan did not refute, and looked at Ruan Sixian with a smile.
Just left a banquet yesterday, Ruan Sixian didn't have time to contact another one, but it was hard to say it directly.
"I'm... not thinking about that much now."
"Ah?" Yu co-pilot asked in surprise, "Isn't thinking about it yet?"
Captain Fan glared at him and said, "It's okay, it's okay, career is the most important thing, then tell me what you like, and I'll help you pay attention. I still know many single captains and researchers. , are some promising young people."
It was said that it was for Ruan Sixian's attention, but in fact, I still wanted to hear Ruan Sixian's mate selection criteria and see if her son was suitable.
Under the curious eyes of the two, Ruan Sixian lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and a strange face appeared in her mind.
"I like to be humble."
"Self-knowledge."
Captain Fan asked: "That's it? It's too abstract, what's the specific point? Occupation, height, appearance, etc."
When he saw Ruan Sixian thinking of something, his expression was strange.
"Occupation, just be serious, you don't need to make too much money. You don't need to be too tall, I don't like too tall, as for looks..."
She paused.
"Ordinary is fine."
Otherwise, it is easy to fall in love with narcissism.
Co-driver Yu said: "You don't have high requirements. It seems that you are a person with a lot of feelings."
Ruan Sixian didn't speak any more.
Who is not in love with feelings, but unfortunately, this thing is the most difficult to figure out.
Two hours later, the plane landed in Jiangcheng.
Due to the delay, Ruan Sixian arrived home at two in the morning. After taking a shower, she fell asleep without dreams.
Then comes June, which means the peak aviation season begins, with more and more flights.
Ruan Sixian's daily life is between the airport and home. Occasionally, she has time to sit in Bian Xuan's store, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
This morning, Ruan Sixian went out for a run, and when she was waiting for the elevator, she saw that the number stopped on the 18th floor.
She suddenly remembered that it seemed that she hadn't seen Fu Mingyu in Mingchen for more than half a month.
Business trip
It doesn't seem to be, she had glimpsed Fu Mingyu in the company two days ago.
Just thinking about it, the elevator door suddenly opened, and Ruan Sixian almost thought she was hallucinating.
Isn't that right, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here
In the elevator, Fu Mingyu naturally saw Ruan Sixian.
His eyes crossed for a moment, then he looked away, and there was no other movement.
He was busy until three o'clock last night, and there was a meeting this morning, so he stayed here for one night.
In fact, it has always been like this.
Ruan Sixian walked in and stood on both sides of him. They didn't speak for a while, as if they didn't know each other.
In a confined space, the atmosphere is really embarrassing.
The elevator went down smoothly and stopped at the eighth floor.
Ruan Sixian suddenly had a bad feeling.
Since the last time the Labrador came in from the eighth floor, she had memorized this floor. Every time she took the elevator and saw it stopped on the eighth floor, she would be nervous for a while.
The elevator door opened slowly.
Ruan Sixian: "…"
What is she really thinking about today.
And today this Labrador is more energetic.
As soon as she came in, she jumped around in the elevator and scratched her paw on Ruan Sixian's pants.
Ruan Sixian was so frightened that she almost didn't cry out, she retreated to the corner and leaned against the wall.
This time, it was a young girl who came out to walk the dog. She couldn't hold the dog, so she could only look at Ruan Sixian apologetically.
Fu Mingyu, who was on the side, looked at the phone calmly, as if he didn't notice this scene at all.
No, I'm going to suffocate.
Ruan Sixian wanted to reach out to press the elevator, she wanted to go out immediately and wait for the next ride, but unfortunately she was standing in the corner and didn't dare to move, so she couldn't reach her at all.
At this moment, Fu Mingyu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly moved.
- Reached out and pressed the elevator on the fifth floor.
It just so happened that the elevator had just reached the sixth floor, and within seconds after Fu Mingyu pressed it, the elevator stopped on the fifth floor.
The elevator door opened slowly, Fu Mingyu turned his head slightly, looked at Ruan Sixian, lowered his eyes, and raised his chin slightly towards the door.
Meaning, you can please.
Ruan Sixian didn't notice how subtle his expression was, and stepped out in two or three steps.
While her mind was slightly settled, she breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to say thank you to Fu Mingyu.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw that the elevator door was closing.
And Fu Mingyu still looked down at the phone, no expression was his expression.
