Although Xu Nian didn't have a good impression of Xu Rongsheng, nor did he have any family affection in it, but he still felt a little bit worried. Seeing Xu Nianyi raised his head and looked towards the second floor, Lu Jingcheng looked at his thin lips with a slight smile, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mayor Xu's body is fine, but he is washing up now, and he will be fine in a while." It's time to rest, and the nanny is helping him scrub his body in the bathroom."
"Oh, that's right."
Xu Nian subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, she thought Xu Rongsheng had something wrong with his body and was already bedridden.
"Sit down and wait for a while. I'll pour you a cup of coffee. After Mayor Xu finishes washing, you can go up and see him." Lu Jingcheng said while leading Xu Nianyi to the leather sofa in the living room and sat down .
Different from ordinary people's sofas, what Lu Jingcheng bought at home is a circular sofa. Opposite the sofa is a whole set of oversized home theater, but it is closed, which shows that Lu Jingcheng usually doesn't have much time to watch it.
One side of the living room is a floor-to-ceiling balcony, but it is tightly covered by thick satin curtains. There is an oversized fish tank in the living room, which is almost two meters long, and there are two golden-colored Arowana. Swimming slowly and gracefully in the water, swimming back and forth tirelessly along the edge of the fish tank.
Xu Nian took a look at the furnishings in the living room, and when she looked away, she realized that Lu Jingcheng was already standing in front of her with a cup of steaming coffee.
"Sorry, I was just looking around." Seeing that Lu Jingcheng was staring at him intently, Xu Nianyi was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "I have a bit of a professional habit at work now, and I always observe subconsciously. surrounding environment."
"It's okay, just take a look if you want to. The decoration of this room is arranged by my assistant. I didn't pay much attention to it. This is how the room looked like when I moved in. And you didn't come in a hurry last time." Take the time to talk to me, since we are here this time, let's talk for a while, the mayor Xu will come down and tell us when the babysitter is settled." Lu Jingcheng handed the coffee to Xu Nianyi, looked at her very gentlemanly, and spoke softly Said, "According to your previous taste, with milk and sugar."
"Thank you." Out of politeness, Xu Nianyi thanked him softly and took the coffee that Lu Jingcheng handed over.
An exquisite milky-white teacup, with delicate light pink cherry blossom glaze painted on the base of the cup holder, the coffee cup looks small and exquisite, with a milky-white porcelain spoon placed on the cup holder.
Xu Nianyi sipped lightly, and it was indeed his favorite taste.
"I heard that you went to Mr. Yan's engagement wedding this year?" Seeing Xu Nianyi took a sip of coffee, Lu Jingcheng felt relieved, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to start a topic.
"Hmm. Did you know that today is Yan Kuan's engagement?" Xu Nian held the coffee in his hand, and maintained an elegant sitting posture, "You don't seem to be there."
"Mr. Yan did send me an invitation letter, but I don't have any friendship with him. In addition, my company has just started and has not started the industry. Now it is time to expand the business. I have been dealing with these issues these days. I didn't take part in the matter." While Lu Jingcheng was speaking, he leaned leisurely on the back of the chair behind him, his slender legs crossed together, looking a little loose but exuding a lazy charm.
"Although you didn't attend, judging from the excitement of today's engagement ceremony, you should know what happened there, right?"
"Are you talking about the sudden announcement of regret at the engagement ceremony?" Lu Jingcheng maintained a lazy sitting posture, leaning gracefully on the sofa behind him, his normally firm face looked much gentler now, and his thin lips curled up With an arc, he said with a half-smile, "I didn't go, but I've heard about what the scene looked like. It seems that Xiang Bei suddenly appeared and asked to regret the marriage, and then people got together and chatted for a while, and then they started to talk." The fight happened. You were there at the time, you must have seen what happened, I just heard it."
"It's good that you didn't go. Today's incident is actually very embarrassing. It's not a good thing to go and see it." Xu Nianyi gently put the coffee on his lap, subconsciously looking for topics, and if he didn't speak, he would just talk to Lu Jingcheng quietly. Sitting still would feel a little weird to her.
"You went, did you see Wen Xiangqing, did you talk to her?" Lu Jingcheng carefully closed the corners of his eyes, and observed Xu Nianyi's expression while asking.
"No. Ms. Wen is a bride-to-be today. She is the bride-to-be, so how could she have the time to talk to me? Besides, I don't know her. I just heard Shao Jun talk about the Wen family. There is no friendship at all. Even if it is me I want to talk to someone, but they don’t have time. Besides, there was a commotion in the north just a few minutes after the engagement ceremony. You’ve heard about what happened later.”
"Have you heard Shao Jun talk about the Wen family?" Lu Jingcheng frowned and asked tentatively, "What did Shao Jun tell you?"
Shao Jun shouldn't be so stupid to tell Nianyi directly that Wen Xiangqing conspired with Xiang Bei to kidnap her and abuse her.
"Shao Jun just said that the Wen family is cunning and insidious, and told me not to have any contact with them, especially the two brothers and sisters of the Wen family." Xu Nian couldn't help smiling when he said this, "I only know that I have had some problems , but no one of you told me, and I can't guess. Maybe I had something to do with the Wen family when I went wrong. But it's okay, the Wen family is already too busy to take care of themselves, I don't think they have so much energy to deal with me Sample."
"Although the Wen family is in a lot of trouble now, but that person from Xiangbei is not good at you, you should be more careful when you go out." Lu Jingcheng said softly, his phoenix eyes filled with worry and concern.
Xu Nian could tell that the emotions in Lu Jingcheng's eyes were not fake. It can be seen that he still has some feelings for himself.
It's just that she doesn't understand why people have to wait until they lose it before regretting it.
She is no longer interested in knowing why she and Lu Jingcheng separated. Now she only understands that since they separated, the overall situation is settled. Now that she has Yifeng and Shao Jun, she doesn't want to have anything else with Lu Jingcheng. Feelings, apart from being an ordinary friend, everything else is impossible.
"Mr. Lu..." Xu Nian opened his lips and looked at Lu Jingcheng with some hesitation.
"Just say what you want to say. I can assure you first that no matter what you say, I won't be angry." Lu Jingcheng seemed to see her hesitation, and offered to comfort her.
"I want to say that I am very grateful that you helped me take care of Xu Rongsheng, but you know that I have Yifeng now, and I have accepted Shao Jun again, even if I have no memory of the previous things, I have fallen in love with Shao Jun again. I'm afraid that if I'm doing something wrong, it will cause you to misunderstand, so I think it's better to say something in advance." This time, Xu Nianyi raised his eyes to Lu Jingcheng's gentle and caring eyes without hesitation. His gaze directly spoke his mind.
"We were indeed married before. I believe that I must have truly loved you when I married you. I would also like to believe that you loved me at the time. If it wasn't so, I don't think you would have married me. But no matter What is the reason for the separation? I think it must be the decision I made after a lot of deliberation. Just like what you said to me a few days ago, the past is the past, there is no need to break the mirror Reunion, reunion will split again. Since we have already reached this point, why not let nature take its course and cherish each other."
"Let it be?" A crack appeared on Lu Jingcheng's face, which had always maintained a gentle expression, and the elegance on Lu Jingcheng's face showed cracks. He froze for a moment, blinked his eyes, and the brown pupils suddenly lost their star-like appearance. The ray of light has turned into a night like a curtain, deeply aware of the lack of light.
"I've been in the field of personnel management for a long time, and I'm used to saying many things directly. It sounds a little hurtful, but you have to admit that it is true." Xu Nianyi smiled again, easing the suddenly silent atmosphere, "Besides, Mr. Lu, you are such an excellent man, with a dignified appearance and a gentleman's subtlety, there will definitely be no shortage of female suitors. I believe God will arrange a new fate for you."
"Nian Yi, I know your concerns. You have a child now, and you have chosen Shao Jun again. You are worried that you will misunderstand me if you come to see me tonight. But you don't have to worry, when you entered the room just now I have already explained your purpose of coming, you are here to visit Mayor Xu, not me. I understand." Lu Jingcheng's eyes seemed to flash a touch of loneliness, he hooked the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh, but what was revealed was a gleam Bitter self-deprecating, "If you lose it, you lose it. I understood this truth a long time ago."
That's right. He knew a long time ago that Xu Nianyi no longer belonged to him. After she sent someone to invite her to have a long talk with her at the western restaurant he often went to, he understood Xu Nianyi's heart. There is no place for him in my heart.
He still remembers that when he had a face-to-face discussion with her so sincerely, he asked her if she could forget all the unpleasant things before, and if she could give him a chance to start again.
Her answer is very firm: impossible.
He said a lot of sincere words, but she didn't believe a word at the time.
During that conversation, he cried. He could not cry, but he did cry. That was the first time he felt sadness since he was an adult.
And now she said almost the same thing to herself as last time, and this was what made him sad.
Especially when I heard her say: I believe you loved me back then.
Hearing this sentence, his heart suddenly ached as if being stabbed by a needle.
He didn't have the courage to tell Nian Yi that he didn't love her at all when he married her back then, and he just wanted to take revenge on the Xu family so he used her. Maybe I liked her young body and beauty, but there was absolutely no love at that time. His heart was cold until he saw her in prison.
At first, he was just not reconciled to loving himself that much. A woman who is devoted to herself will fall in love with someone else in a blink of an eye. He just didn't want the woman he played with to suddenly become so strange and powerful.
But later, seeing her change so much, he began to pay attention to Nianyi involuntarily, and gradually that unwillingness turned into liking and... regretting.
And now, even though she has repeatedly made her attitude clear. Even though he knew that Nian Yi already had her and Shao Jun's child, he was still not reconciled. He knew that it would be hard to get it if it was lost, but even so he didn't want to just give Nian Yi to Shao Jun. He was always that The kind of person who gives up easily...
