When Xia Shao saw Mr. Leng in the hotel room, she almost didn't recognize him at first glance. When I met this old man during my trip to a fishing village in Hong Kong, he was wearing a white sportswear, glasses, and a ruddy complexion with a bookish air. But when I saw him today, his face was pale, his body was a little thin, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked ten years older.
"Old man, my master wanted to protect the last bloodline of the Leng family out of the friendship between the same sect. Otherwise, your granddaughter would not be alive today for the crime of killing her sect members. Unexpectedly, the care for the old relationship back then has turned into what it is now. She will avenge her kindness. She is now in Singapore, and the remnants of the Wang family killed people from the Anqin Society in order to take revenge on the sect. We invite you here, do you have any objections?" Xia Shao walked slowly to the sofa. He sat down and had a cup of tea.
Mr. Leng just raised his head and glanced at Xia Shao without much reaction. He obviously already knew what Leng Yixin had done.
He wanted to say that she lost her parents when she was young, which had a great impact on her character, and it was because he did not educate her well.
He wanted to say that she had kept her feelings for Tianyin in her heart for many years, but she only grew hatred out of love.
He wanted to say that he could persuade her and make her return to her lost ways.
He had so much to say, but in the end he just lowered his head feebly. He knew that was impossible. Ever since his granddaughter hung up on him that morning, he has never called again. He knew that she must have gone to do something, and she was afraid that he would stop her, so she broke off contact with him. This child has a paranoid temperament, and no one can stop what she has decided. With a body like hers, she has even been exposed to black magic. How could she give up so easily
But he didn't expect that Senior Brother Head and Junior Brother Zhang would find him in Maoshan. He followed them back without thinking of resisting. Even if he resisted, he knew that he was no match for the two of them. If he cooperated, he might be able to give Xin'er a chance to survive in the future.
"Then until the matter is settled, I ask you to follow my master and rest in the sect." Xia Shao lowered her eyes lightly and put down the teacup. If she read it correctly, Mr. Leng's vitality was extremely weak, as if he had been banned.
The only one who can do this is the secret method of Master, the founder of Xuanmen.
"Master." Xia Shao stood up and went outside with Tang Zongbo, "Mr. Leng will return to Hong Kong with you after the year. Please pay attention to the mood of the disciples of the Leng family."
Tang Zongbo immediately understood what Xia Shao meant. She didn't want any internal trouble to occur at this time. "Don't worry, Master will handle these matters. Just worry about your senior brother and the company, and leave the rest to us." ."
Xia Shao nodded, and the matter was settled.
…
Three days later, it’s Chinese New Year.
This year's Chinese New Year is different from the past. Xia's family is all in the capital. There were not only people from the Xu family and Xia family, but also Tang Zongbo, Zhang Zhongxian and Wen Ye, and finally there was an old man Leng. Xia Shao introduced Mr. Leng to his family as an uncle of the sect. The two families were quite enthusiastic about the old man. Although Mr. Leng seemed to be in low spirits, they were quite touched by this. Therefore, he hoped to get in touch with his granddaughter, but there was no news from her even during the New Year.
Leng Yixin and the other three are in Singapore, apparently planning to take action after the new year. No matter they took the open road or the secret road, Xu Tianyin arranged a news network, and he would answer two calls every night. Until today, everything is calm.
The New Year's Day was even more lively than the New Year's Eve. Xu Kangguo promoted some national activities and claimed to rest and recuperate, but he spent the New Year happily with his children. The outside world naturally knows the reason why the old man did not attend major events during the Chinese New Year this year. Wasn't it because Xu Tianyin just got engaged! However, this is an engagement, not a marriage. Could it be that Xia Shao can celebrate the New Year at the Xu family this year
Outside speculation cannot affect the atmosphere of the two families during the New Year. For Xia Shao, this New Year is hard-won. Turning to look at Xu Tianyin, he was wearing a thin black sweater and a dark red scarf around his neck. It was specially knitted by Xia Shao for him for the celebration. This festive color eased the coldness between the man's brows and added a bit of warmth. As soon as the two came out of the room, the eyes of everyone in the living room lit up.
"If you didn't know better, you would really think that this young couple is married, haha." Xu Yanshao said with a smile.
Hearing the word marriage, Xia Shao thought it would touch Xu Tianyin's mood. When she looked up, she saw the man looking down at her, with only heart-wrenching tenderness in his eyes. Xia Shao smiled and felt relieved. The two held hands and sat down on the sofa to chat with the elders.
The atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner that night was very strong. Almost all the important people in Xia Shao's life were gathered together, including grandma, parents, master, senior brother... I didn't think about what was about to happen, but it was quite perfect.
But when the New Year's bell rang, Xia Shao couldn't help but look at Xu Tianyin, thinking of his great disaster this year. He was thirty-one years old...
When Xu Tianyin lowered his head to look, Xia Shao's eyes changed to a smile, and she spread her hands, as in previous years, "Fiancé, happy New Year, I want a red envelope!"
These words stunned the two families. Tang Zongbo was the first to smile and shake his head, "No matter how old you are, you still haven't changed your childhood habits."
"You kid, I usually think you are precocious, but now you look like a child." Li Juan smiled and glared at her daughter.
Among everyone's smiling eyes, only Xu Tianyin took Xia Shao's hand and walked into the house.
"What?" Xia Shao asked from behind.
"Red envelope." He said.
"I want a bigger one. You upgraded." Xia Shao said with a smile as soon as she entered the room.
Xu Tianyin turned around, with a faint smile on his lips, and handed out a red envelope in his hand, "Here."
Xia Shao was stunned, and her eyes fell on the red envelope in the man's hand - it was really a red envelope!
In previous years, when she said she wanted red envelopes, she actually wanted gifts. He knew that she was not short of money, and most of the gifts he gave her were small gifts. He actually doesn't know how to give gifts to women. Over the years, for her birthdays and New Years, he has given her almost all kinds of jewelry that women can wear. Each time, they are just boxes of different sizes, and you can guess the gifts inside. Although there was nothing new, she would ask him for it every year, but she didn't expect that she would actually receive a red envelope this year.
Xia Shao took it blankly, but found that the red envelope was very thin and almost weightless. She prayed in her heart that when she opened it, it wouldn't be anything like a check.
But after opening it, she was still stunned - it was not a check, but a ticket.
Two air tickets to fly to Australia on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Xia Shao looked up blankly and saw the man's dark eyes soft and warm in the light of the room, saying to her, "I'll take you on a trip."
"..." These five simple words, for some reason, made her eyes turn red with emotion. Then she got a hug and a clumsy touch from the man.
"Don't like it?" he asked cautiously.
Xia Shao chuckled and hugged Xu Tianyin, "Surprise!"
These two tickets really surprised Xia Shao. This was Xu Tianyin's rare romantic move in the five years they had known each other. Xia Shao didn't ask him why he wanted to take her to travel abroad. If she was asked to guess, she would guess that it had something to do with what Xu Yanying said on that day. So she didn't ask. It was still winter vacation on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and both of them did have time. Too many things happened during this period, so it was good to go out and relax.
But the fact that the two were going to Australia for a trip surprised both families.
Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan's original plan was to go back to Dongshi on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Their daughter was engaged. They were in the capital during this time, and they always wanted to go back to invite their colleagues and friends there. Originally, the couple planned to have Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao follow them back to Dongshi. After all, they were the protagonists of the banquet. Moreover, if those people came to send some expensive gifts, it would be easier for Xia Shao to evade them.
After hearing this, Xia Shao smiled and said, "It's easy to handle! After you go back, you and your elders don't have to invite them to a big party. Please invite people you know well. The engagement banquet doesn't have to be so extravagant. If they bring gifts, just say that you gave them to me." The idea is to keep it simple, and the gift list will be handed over to the old man for review afterwards. Whether they believe it or not, as long as they have scruples, they will definitely not dare to send expensive gifts. "
Xia Zhiyuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he glanced at Xu Kangguo, who was sitting next to him. Sure enough, Xu Kangguo glared at Xia Shao, "This girl has just gotten engaged, and she has already learned to use my banner!"
"If I can do good things by using your banner, I might as well borrow it from others." Xia Shao said with a smile.
Xu Kangguo snorted, turned to Xia Zhiyuan and said, "Let's do this, just say it's what I want."
With the old man's words, it was almost like receiving an imperial edict, so Xia Zhiyuan quickly agreed.
In this way, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin no longer need to follow them back to Dongshi. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Xia family got on a flight to Dongshi together. Tang Zongbo and Zhang Zhongxian also took Mr. Leng back to Hong Kong, accompanied by Wen Ye. Xia Shao said goodbye to all the worries for the time being, packed her small suitcase, and embarked on a journey in the world of two people with Xu Tianyin.
…
The cold winter season in Beijing is exactly summer for Australia.
In the warmest season of the year, on the streets with Victorian buildings, sitting in a car admiring the passing exotic scenery and passers-by were two young oriental people. The two spoke fluent English and hailed a taxi after coming out of the airport. The man who exuded a lonely aura simply stated the name of a place and got into the car with the woman.
The driver couldn't help but froze when he heard the name of this place. It was a seaside villa area, where wealthy people vacationed.
The car drove further and further into the countryside, and gradually, all that could be seen was the road, the sea and a row of beautiful villas in the distance. When Xia Shao saw the row of villas, her eyes lit up. This place was obviously a private area with few tourists, beautiful green vegetation and quiet.
Really a great place for vacation.
Beside him, Xu Tianyin stared at the woman's raised lips with soft eyes.
The car stopped outside the villa area. Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao got out of the car. The two walked along the wooden path built by the sea, blowing the sea breeze, and finally stopped in front of a Victorian seaside villa.
A beautiful single-family villa, with quiet wooden paths, flat lawns on both sides, and the sea breeze, giving it a pleasant natural feel.
When Xia Shao was looking at the villa, Xu Tianyin had already entered the door and put the suitcase in the room. When Xia Shao came in, she found that the room was very clean. It was obviously cleaned frequently. The decoration was also natural, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, white gauze curtains, and an unobstructed view of the sea in the distance.
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows when she saw Xu Tianyin taking tea leaves from the cupboard and starting to boil water. "Senior brother, have you lived here before?"
"Well, I was on a previous mission and lived there for a while." Xu Tianyin answered while boiling water.
Xia Shao nodded. She thought he would book a hotel when he came, but she didn't expect that he still had a house here. He rarely talked about missions, and she didn't even know.
It was now two o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them were a little tired after flying all night. After the water boiled, Xia Shao drank a cup of tea, then took a bath, changed her clothes, and went to bed to rest for a while. The two fell asleep hugging each other in the exotic room, but their sleep did not last long. When Xia Shao woke up, she caught up with the beautiful sunset on the sea.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, the golden-red sunshine shone into the balcony. Xia Shao stood barefoot on the wooden balcony wearing silk pajamas, closing her eyes slightly and feeling the warm sea breeze. The sea breeze ruffled her soft hair, and her skin was covered with a layer of pink by the setting sun, making it moist and transparent. Looking from a distance, she seemed to be disappearing.
Suddenly a pair of big hands stretched out from behind, and the man's arms tightly hugged her. It wasn't until he felt her true body temperature and breath that he gradually calmed down.
Xia Shao turned around with a smile and poked Xu Tianyin's chest, "I didn't even know that senior brother has a seaside villa here. Where can I find one?"
"A lot, I'll take you there later." Xu Tianyin hugged Xia Shao and kissed her forehead, "There is also a private winery here in a small town. I will take you there in a few days."
Private winery
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, and was very interested in Xu Tianyin's previous experiences and industries abroad, but she was not in a hurry to ask, and just continued to poke him, "What about now?"
It was dinner time and she was hungry. There were no fresh vegetables in the villa and she couldn't cook.
"Go out." Xu Tianyin carried Xia Shao into the room, closed the floor-to-ceiling glass door of the balcony, closed the curtains, and then changed clothes.
He didn't often wear a suit, but he changed into a formal suit tonight. Xia Shao took one look at it, then took out a dress and put it on with a smile. The silver-white dress was simple and elegant. When she wore it, she immediately gained the mysterious ancient charm of the East. . There was no need to apply makeup, she only slightly curled her hair and made him look at it for a long time.
Smiling and taking Xu Tianyin's arm, Xia Shao asked, "Where are you going?"
"Restaurant." The answer was no surprise.
The two of them left the villa, and Xu Tianyin drove a black Bentley SUV from the garage. The two of them speeded on the beach, looking at the sunset and sea view. Xia Shao had never been so comfortable in his memory.
The car drove to the city center and stopped in front of a high-end Australian restaurant. Xu Tianyin had obviously made a reservation long ago, and the waiter respectfully led the two of them to the reserved seats. Along the way, it attracted many people’s surprised looks. There are always people from all over the world in international cities, but it seems that we have never seen an Oriental couple with such outstanding temperament.
The two sat down with stunning eyes. Small candlelight, wine, cheese, steak, fish, and fresh fruits were all the most authentic local specialties. In my memory, the two of them rarely dressed like this to have dinner in a high-end restaurant. Xu Tianyin He likes to eat at home. He loves her cooking. He always has a better appetite at home than outside. He has been alone abroad for too many years. For him, the warmth of family is far more attractive than a fancy restaurant.
Xia Shao knew what he was thinking. She also liked quietness. They had similar interests. After a few years of knowing each other, they could actually cook at home and never go out.
But tonight, she felt good being outside like this. Rarely romantic, but once in a while, looking at his brows in the candlelight, she felt an unprecedented peace of mind. And her peaceful and smiling eyebrows also made his eyes soften, "Like it?"
"Do you like it here or do you like senior brother?" Xia Shao deliberately pretended not to understand and teased Xu Tianyin with a smile.
Xu Tianyin didn't answer, lowered his head to eat, but the corners of his lips raised a beautiful arc. He was laughing, and he was laughing for a long time.
The two of them ate slowly. After eating, Xia Shao thought Xu Tianyin would take her to watch a movie. Because Xu Yanying said that night that he would take the girl to watch movies, eat and travel abroad. Now he has done both, but still lacks the same.
But Xu Tianyin didn't take her there. He was considerate that she was tired from flying, so he took her to walk on the streets of a foreign country at night for a while, and then drove back to the beach villa.
The sea is dark at night, and from a distance, you can smell the moisture of the sea breeze and the rustle of the waves hitting the shore. Although there are many villas in this villa area, they are all distanced from each other. There are vegetation and greenery in the middle, so the privacy is very good.
In the living room of the room, only the light of the TV was on, and the flickering light illuminated the people hugging each other on the sofa.
There were two glasses of red wine on the coffee table, and on the sofa, the woman was wearing light pink silk pajamas, lying on top of the man. The man's big hands covered the large area of the woman's beautiful back and he looked at her.
She smiled, her breath smelling of alcohol, and she raised her head and pecked his chin.
Xu Tianyin's eyes were deep and he closed his eyes slightly. Xia Shao lay on top of him and smiled, kissing from his sharp chin to his neck, lightly touching his protruding Adam's apple. The moist and hot touch made the man's Adam's apple tremble slightly, his brows furrowed, but he raised his head comfortably.
She smiled and continued down, leaving moisture on his solid chest and wild waistline along the way, and finally came to his lower abdomen.
It was his sensitivity there, and with her slight touch, the muscles in his lower abdomen suddenly stiffened. She just bit it lightly!
"Yeah!" The man grunted, growling like a wild animal.
At this time, he heard the woman chuckle, and got off him lightly. She looked back at him with infinite fun in her eyes, "I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower."
After that, she turned around and left.
A big hand stretched out from behind, grabbed her waist and abdomen, and caught the naughty person who had lit a fire and wanted to escape.
The woman's exclamations and laughter came from the sofa, which gradually turned into low gasps.
The night is getting long…
