Half a month later, Shumaning received the news of the JMH competition, informing her that her work had entered the finals.
Compared with the previous tedious entry process, the final is a method that does not even need to show your face.
She only needs to send the finished works over, put them in the safe, and hand them over to the staff.
"Aren't you going to compete with that Paraiba tourmaline?" Chen Wei watched as Schumann stuffed a set of exquisite enamel jewelry into the safe.
While locking the safe, Schumann replied, "I've changed my mind."
"Why? You have prepared for so long, spent so much money, and asked Mr. Li to invest in you, isn't it just for this last moment?"
Chen Wei didn't understand. She knew that Schuman had been preparing for this final for many years, which was of great significance. It made no sense to change the main works at the critical moment.
She tugged Schumann's arm, trying to see her expression.
"Man Ning, did something happen to you?" Chen Wei guessed, "You must have lost that tourmaline, right?!"
Schumann stared at her voice getting louder, and quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense, I just feel that that thing can't prove my strength."
Chen Wei was puzzled.
Schumann walked to the booth next to the workbench, where many of her defective works were placed.
She casually picked up the necklace that she had lent to Chen Wei for the auction. The setting sun shone in from the window, and she covered the pendant in front of her eyes.
"The Paraiba tourmaline itself is very beautiful, even without any carving, it can overwhelm other works, but..." Schumann paused, and through the tourmaline pendant in front of her, she saw the break of the pattern inside.
"It's just its own charm after all. What does it have to do with me? I'm not even an author, but at most an accessory master."
Hearing this, Chen Wei was stunned.
Well, she can understand this feeling. To put it mildly, it can also be understood that Schuman has evolved, and her thinking is different from before.
But.
"But what are you going to do with the Paraiba tourmaline? It's really expensive, my baby." Chen Wei frowned, thinking of the flawless Paraiba tourmaline worth tens of millions, her heart skipped a beat. trembling.
Schumann put down the things in her hands, turned around and looked at Chen Wei with a smile, "I'm going to wear it myself when I get married."
Chen Wei opened her mouth wide and blinked her eyes for a long time.
"So." Schumann hugged her shoulders, "I have to trouble you to be my bridesmaid."
Chen Wei was so happy that she still didn't know what to say. After rolling her eyes left and right, she asked based on her social animal instinct.
"Then can I get an exclusive interview with Mr. Li?" Chen Wei's eyes lit up, "I have already conceived it. If you get married by then, I will interview you by the way. In your warm home, woo woo woo , let everyone see what a successful family is.”
Schumann ignored the word incidentally, Chen Wei's words just reminded her that Li Yueze had been acting suspiciously lately.
Sometimes she called him, but couldn't find anyone, and she hesitated when she called Ji Shengrui, and couldn't find anyone when she went to his company.
With her keen sense of smell, she had a premonition that this man was hiding something from her.
Thinking of this, Shuman looked down at her watch, "It's six o'clock, I'm going to Manting Hotel."
Chen Wei was still immersed in the joy of interviewing Li Yueze, completely ignoring Schumanning, and waved at her directly.
"go Go."
Shumaning drove to the Manting Hotel. She didn't call Li Yueze, but went straight to the top floor from the special elevator.
Since he and Li Yueze came back from Mingcheng, he also recorded her fingerprints, and she can enter directly without reporting.
Schumaning pushed open the door with ease, and she planned to sit back and wait.
But as soon as he entered the suite, he was dumbfounded. Wherever he looked, he felt a little strange, as if something was missing.
For example, the cigarette case on the coffee table and the books next to it.
Or, the clothes in the closet, the toiletries in the bathroom.
Everything was clean horribly.
After realizing it, Schuman took out her mobile phone and called Li Yueze. It took a long time before the other end connected.
The man seemed to have just finished exercising, panting heavily.
Schumann couldn't help thinking of something, and asked directly: "Did you betray me?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Yueze froze for a moment, "No."
"Then you..." Schumann was speechless.
"Where are you?"
Schuman sat on the bed where Li Yueze usually slept, and his smell was no longer on the pillow.
She grabbed the edge of the pillow with her hands, and said listlessly: "In your room, Manting, where have you been, and why everything is missing."
"Okay, I'll let Ji Shengrui find you."
That's it
Schuman frowned, and was about to continue to say something, when the other end hung up her phone.
She stared at the screen of the mobile phone in a daze, thinking that she would not be so quick to empathize with someone else.
Ji Shengrui came quickly, as if he was waiting downstairs in the hotel.
Schuman stared at a Strawberry Crystal Paramela parked on the side of the road, and Ji Shengrui stuffed the car keys in her hand.
Schumann was puzzled, "What does this mean?"
Ji Shengrui coughed twice, as if preparing to speak.
"My leg is injured, so it's inconvenient. Miss Shu, please drive."
Shumaning:
She pursed her lips, "Are you and your boss trying to annoy me?"
Ji Shengrui didn't dare to speak ill of the boss, so he could only touch his nose and take the initiative to sit in the co-pilot.
Schumanning was really speechless, but out of curiosity, she still sat in the driver's seat.
As soon as she fastened her seat belt, Ji Shengrui clicked on the navigation for her, and said, "Go here."
Schuman didn't even look at it, and kept thinking about what kind of medicine Li Yueze sold in the gourd, and it came out one after another.
The route of the car was based entirely on the voice of the navigation, so naturally he didn't notice this increasingly remote route.
When she got to the place, Shumaning realized that there was no one around.
She lowered the window, "Where is this?"
"South City."
While talking, Ji Shengrui got out of the car and walked around to the driver's seat to open the door for her, "Miss Shu, the boss is waiting for you."
The doubts in Schuman's mind were getting bigger and bigger, and it was curiosity that pushed her forward.
Walking along the cobblestone path, green bamboos were planted on both sides. Schumann looked at it while walking. Although it was dark now, the spotlights under those bamboos provided a lot of light.
Not too scary.
Going forward, she saw a courtyard gate in a new Chinese style.
Looking inward, she saw Li Yueze standing at the entrance of the main hall.
The man was wearing black home clothes, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and he saw her at a glance.
He beckoned to her, "Come here."
Schumann snorted angrily, "I don't, why do you ask me to do whatever you want?"
Under the corridor lamp, Li Yueze smiled helplessly, and walked towards her.
Schumann stared at him getting closer and closer, with more and more ghost ideas in his mind.
The man walked up to her, and before she could speak, she raised her two arms.
"carried me."
Li Yueze really had nothing to do with her, so he turned around and let her lie on his back.
Schumanning deliberately supported his shoulders loosely, and Li Yueze was afraid that she would fall, so he walked very slowly along the way.
He asked her, "Has the car started?"
"You mean the Panamera?"
The man hummed.
"It's on, let me be Secretary Ji's driver today."
Li Yueze couldn't help laughing, "Do you like it?"
Asked this, Schumanning suddenly remembered that before going to Mingcheng, Li Yueze asked herself if she liked Paramela
Although a woman's sixth sense is accurate, it is always late.
Yes, otherwise she should have guessed the car at the first sight.
Schumann leaned forward slightly, crossed her arms and hooked Li Yueze's neck.
"Is it my gift?" She asked knowingly with a smile.
Li Yueze smiled without saying a word, walked to the porch of the main hall, and he put her down.
His right hand was clasped between her five fingers, leading her to continue walking inside.
Schumanning then looked around, it seemed to be a new house.
The decoration style is a bit strange, like the aesthetics of more than ten years ago, driven by curiosity, she pulled Li Yueze to divert halfway.
"Did you buy this?"
The man said truthfully: "Yes."
"So that's why you don't live in a hotel?" Schumann squinted her eyes on purpose, but even so she couldn't forgive her, feeling aggrieved in her heart, "Then why didn't you tell me, you made me very passive."
Schumanning let go of his hand as he spoke, walked quickly to the side, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar photo.
It was the one she had turned upside down on the table at Li Yueze Mingcheng's house.
At that time, she didn't know that this little girl was her, she thought it was Li Yueze or something like Bai Yueguang...
Schumann pursed his lips, and was about to speak when he suddenly felt the gravity behind him.
Li Yueze hugged her from behind and stared at the photo with her.
"You were really naughty when you were a child. I often woke up and saw you filled the bed with sunflowers, and then you would pretend to cry next to me, saying that I had become an angel."
Schumann remained motionless, his voice was numb.
"Isn't that a wonderful blessing?"
Li Yueze looked at her sideways, her breath was full of her smell, he greedily took a deep breath and bit her neck, his teeth gently grinding her skin.
Schumann subconsciously pushed him with his hands.
Li Yueze stopped her hand, and his lips were slightly away from her neck.
"You know, in the first few years, I really hated you, hated you for leaving without saying goodbye, hated you for breaking your promise, hated you for lying to me..." The man became more and more low and hoarse, "I dreamed of you every night You, dreamed that you came back to find me, but the dream will wake up after dawn, and you will disappear."
Maybe when I was a child, I didn't know what affection and love were, but for some inexplicable attraction and dependence, I was always unable to let go, and it was difficult to control.
Schuman's eyes were sour when he heard his words, and tears flowed down his cheeks unconsciously.
Li Yueze raised his head slightly and kissed away the tears on her cheeks.
Schumann turned around and threw herself into his arms, "Fortunately...fortunately, we met again."
"Actually, even if we didn't meet in the church, I would go to you, just after everything is packed here."
"Pack what?" Schumann asked.
Li Yueze hooked his lips, and supported her shoulders on both sides to make her turn around in a circle.
"The appearance of this house was drawn by you when you were a child, and there are some decorations that you thought of."
Schumanning was very surprised, she stretched out her index finger and waved it around, "You said this, I designed it?"
Li Yueze nodded.
Then he took out a piece of crumpled draft paper from his pants pocket, on which he drew the outline of a house, basically similar to this one.
As for the house type and decoration, there are only a few strokes on the back.
Schumann felt unbelievable, and hugged Li Yueze's waist sideways, "Why are you so kind to me." She whimpered twice, "Why."
Li Yueze's eyes fell on her face, "Because I love you."
Lowering his head and covering her soft lips, the man continued: "Will you marry me?"
"good."

Next book: "Unfamiliar"
The biggest happy event in Hong Kong's celebrity circle recently is the marriage of Zhou Shi's two families.
At the engagement banquet, fiancé Zhou Shijun introduced Shiman to his family one by one, holding his arm.
When introducing a young man with a handsome appearance.
Zhou Shijun: "This is my younger brother Zhou Zhengang, what a coincidence, he and you went to the same school abroad, I wonder if you have met?"
Shi Man, who had been absent-minded by the side, looked at the person opposite.
He glanced at her indifferently, with a very indifferent expression: "I'm not familiar with you."
After the banquet, the guests dispersed, and in the dimly lit place, Shi Man and Zhou Zhengang met on a narrow road.
The four eyes are facing each other.
She pretended to be calm: "I don't want others to know our past."
The man snorted softly, then leaned down to her ear, his voice was as deep as before.
"What past? Is it the past of three years with me day and night, Mrs. Zhou."
