After coming out of the court, the evening sky was already dark, leaving only a thin ray of skylight, and then it began to rain.
The crowd was trapped in the hall on the first floor.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly called his assistant to bring an umbrella, and eagerly passed two umbrellas to Que Qingyan and Lin Mian.
Cheng Ze jokingly said, "Boss Fang, don't be so polite, an umbrella is enough for the two of them."
These words were ambiguous overtly and secretly, the man's eyes swiveled in front of the two of them, he understood clearly, and regarded Lin Mian as Que Qingyan's girlfriend. But he understood in his heart, so he still smiled and handed over the two umbrellas: "Please trouble Que Shao to file a lawsuit for me, I can't be negligent."
Lin Mian wished to share an umbrella with Que Qingyan, but out of politeness, he took the long-handled umbrella as a thank you.
The man was about to pass an umbrella to Que Qingyan, when he saw a phone call, he hurriedly said, "You answer the phone, I will put the umbrella for you first."
Que Qingyan glanced at the caller ID, and said calmly, "One umbrella is enough."
The man understood, put the umbrella back, followed Cheng Ze, and whispered gossip: "It's such a good relationship."
In the lobby, seeing Que Qingyan rejecting the umbrella, Lin Mian, who was "in a good relationship", thought that he was going to answer the phone first, so he moved aside consciously to make room for him to make a call.
Moved halfway, the wrist was pulled.
Que Qingyan clasped Lin Mian's wrist lightly, stroked her finger holding the handle of the umbrella with his fingertips, and beckoned her to give him the umbrella.
Lin Mian was suddenly pulled by his wrist, looked down, and his heart beat faster.
Que Qingyan wanted her umbrella... did he want to share an umbrella with her
Lin Mian originally wanted to give him the umbrella, but with a thought, he accidentally loosened the umbrella handle.
The umbrella was thrown on the ground, and Lin Mian's free fingers were finally able to do other things.
She took a deep breath, blushed and took Que Qingyan's hand instead.
"Anyway..." Lin Mian squeezed his fingers lightly, looking for a reason to explain in a low voice, "Anyway, you're going to call here now, we won't go out for the time being, and we won't hold an umbrella. Just hold me?"
Fearing that Que Qingyan would disagree, Lin Mian said again: "I'll be rewarded for coming to listen to your trial, okay?"
After finishing speaking, she spurned herself three times in her heart.
It's just... so shameless.
Ever since Que Qingyan agreed to her chasing him, she couldn't help but get closer to him. In the past, these dirty thoughts were just thought about in her mind, but now she wished she could put them all into practice.
The phone was connected, but Que Min who was on the opposite side said "Hello" a few times but didn't respond, Que Qingyan said to the phone, "I have something to do."
Lin Mian saw that Que Qingyan hung up the phone, but before he could react, he heard him lower his eyes and asked, "Is this how you hold hands?"
"..." Lin Mian was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it?"
She came to tease him, of course Que Qingyan would not be polite to her. He turned his back on the guest, wrapped his slender fingers around her soft bases, and interlocked her fingers together.
Lin Mian's palms were still slightly damp with sweat, and Que Qingyan saw that even her fair neck was starting to turn red, and said, "There are not many people in the hall, so they wouldn't notice this place." At the end he smiled and added: "Don't nervous."
"..."
It would have been better if he didn't say that, but when he said it...
Ahhh!
Lin Mian had never experienced such an affair. Five seconds later, her face was so hot that she couldn't hold on any longer.
She let go of her hand like an electric shock, obediently bent down to pick up the umbrella, rolled aside to calm her heartbeat, and never dared to disturb Que Qingyan again.
In broad daylight, in the hall of the court, teach the little girl how to flirt.
Cheng Ze was too blind to see.
As it rained harder and harder, the middle-aged man made a reservation at the nearest hotel where Que Qingyan was staying.
Although the trial of the lawsuit has not been completed, and the time of the next trial is still uncertain, more than half of it has already been won. The man held a celebration banquet, during which he praised Que Qingyan a few times and thanked him a thousand times.
"I kept a bottle of wine here before, and I just had the opportunity to open it today." The man greeted the waiter and asked Que Qingyan, "Do you drink red wine?"
Que Qingyan heard the words and said, "I'm going to drive later, I won't drink."
The first trial of the lawsuit came to an end, and Que Qingyan didn't have any arrangements for the case in the near future, so he wouldn't stay in the hotel anymore.
"That's right, I didn't expect it." The man smiled apologetically, and after thinking about it, he said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you drink some wine. I'll find a driver to deliver..."
Lin Mian was stunned when she heard it, and then she came to her senses and asked softly with bright eyes, "Are you going back to the apartment tonight?"
Her eyes were too expectant, Que Qingyan paused for a moment, and replied: "By the way, I will take you back."
That is to go back to the apartment.
Finally seeing Que Qingyan often, Lin Mian jumped up excitedly, and made a new list of people to chase in his mind.
These days, the flower delivery man delivered flowers to Lin Mian day by day. He probably had never seen someone send flowers to him in the end, and the look in her eyes became more and more compassionate. Yesterday, the flower delivery man couldn't help but hinted insinuatingly that he could actually unsubscribe from the business...
Lin Mian thought about it all over, and said to himself, after Que Qingyan went back, the flowers and love letter, which had been delayed for nearly a week, could finally be given to him.
Halfway through her thoughts, she suddenly thought that there was still something she hadn't confessed to him.
Lin Mian accompanied Bai Jiayi to the club before, but was photographed by the small media at the door and met the news. The press release described her and Mr. Shen in an imaginative way. Combined with the candid photo, if people who don't know the inside story see it, they may really think that Mr. Shen has something personal with her.
The news involved the private life of the wealthy family, and the little celebrity was present in the sneak photo. By this morning, the news had already been fired.
In the next period of time, Que Qingyan will not be so busy anymore, as long as he pays a little attention, he will be able to read the news.
Then in case he misunderstood...
Lin Mian recalled that during the trial in the afternoon, Que Qingyan looked indifferent to the witness and spoke aggressively. She tried to put herself as the witness, and suddenly her heart trembled.
No no, no.
After Lin Mian finished drinking a glass of juice, she secretly looked up at Que Qingyan beside her, crying and thinking, she must find a chance...to explain clearly.
During the dinner, Que Qingyan answered the phone and left the box.
On the other side, after coaxing her daughter to sleep and putting on a facial mask, Que Min finally got through the phone and said with a smile, "The assistant from Tailoring in the afternoon contacted me, saying that you have already paid and made an appointment with me to measure the size. "
Last time at the club, Que Min lent Lin Mian the skirt to wear, and Que Qingyan made her another one afterwards.
Que Min would not make a special trip to call him for a skirt.
Que Qingyan responded and listened to the following.
"Two nights ago," Que Min didn't change the subject, organized his words, and cut straight to the point, "Mianmian was photographed at the entrance of the club, and Shen Yanzhou from the Shen family was there at the time... Did you see the news? "
Que Qingyan said "um" in a steady voice: "What's wrong?"
I saw the news, and asked what happened? Que Min was slightly stunned, and said unsurely: "You can still be so calm after reading the news? Did I read it wrong, or did you read it wrong?"
For her suspicion, Que Qingyan didn't explain much, and asked lightly: "You called to ask this?"
"I didn't mean to say this." Que Min sighed and frowned, "The press release was written in a mess, and I thought there was something wrong when I saw it, so I called the eldest son of the Shen family and asked me about Shen Yanzhou. I only brought that little celebrity there, and I have nothing to do with Mianmian, so I didn't mention other details."
Que Min originally thought that Que Qingyan had read the news, so he might have misunderstood. Although he was not a person who believed in false gossip at all, he was too calm to hear this reaction.
Even if the little girl had nothing to do with Shen Yanzhou, she still went to the club that night, Que Min thought in her heart, whoever changed this matter would think more about it.
Que Min said: "Or, Mian Mian has already explained it to you?"
Que Qingyan paused, and replied concisely: "I was at the club that night."
In this way, the content of the news is even more speculative. Que Min was stunned for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's good, I've been worrying for nothing all day." After speaking, he teased, "You might as well find a time to go on vacation if you take other girls to the club. Hotel, this is the best time to soak in hot springs…”
After hanging up the phone, Que Qingyan put the phone away, and instead of going back to the box immediately, he pondered for a moment at the entrance of the corridor to sort out his thoughts.
What he said just now was to defend Lin Mian in front of Que Min, but he didn't tell Que Min. In fact, he didn't know about it either.
Regarding emotional matters, Que Qing said that he had the initiative to make decisions and would not let others control them. In fact, he would not care what Que Min thought, or even how Que's father and mother interfered.
Therefore, explaining for Lin Mian in front of Que Min, if it is for himself, there is no need.
If it wasn't for himself, the only other possibility was that he was for Lin Mian.
When he saw the news, Que Qingyan called to ask about the situation, and got the same news as Que Min.
Before that, he had always set a line for himself. He left enough leeway and space for Lin Mian to get to know him outside the line, and then let her decide whether to cross this line to really get close to him.
Que Qingyan is rational enough to restrain his emotions, and he is also used to standing in a dominant position. Lin Mian had known him not long ago, and this kind of admiration may not last long. He rarely put himself in a passive state. When the relationship between the two of them is not clear, being together is not the wisest choice.
But Que Qingyan knew himself well, so he also knew what flashed through his mind when he saw the news.
His feelings for Lin Mian may be more than just affection.
He didn't even want to give her time to get to know herself anymore.
After the celebration banquet, everyone dispersed. Lin Mian waited at the entrance of the hotel and received a text message from Bai Jiayi.
Bai Jiayi: [Mianbao, have you returned from the trial? how do you feel?]
Lin Mian recalled Que Qingyan's appearance in court, rubbed his face, and replied bluntly: [I like him more.]
After getting to know him better, I like him more, but also more...
After posting, Lin Mian suddenly thought for a moment.
In fact, she has always had the fantasy of saving money to support Que Qingyan, but he is so powerful, she may not be able to fulfill this long-cherished wish in decades.
After waiting for a while, Bai Jiayi sent it again: [By the way, the Shen family came to apologize to me just now, saying that tomorrow morning the scumbag will clarify the rumors, don't worry.]
At this moment, a car slowly stopped in front of the hotel, the windows were gradually rolled down, Que Qingyan in the driver's seat turned his face slightly, the light outlined his handsome and deep eyebrows.
Lin Mian paid attention, and thought a little frustrated, the car keys that are more expensive than this car... She might not be able to give them away for the time being.
Teacher Mu Mian, who was very frustrated tonight, was very docile after getting in the car, and he talked very little, so it was rare for him to think seriously about his life plan.
Lin Mian, who was thinking about life, didn't realize that Que Qingyan said very little tonight, and when he recovered, he was almost at the apartment complex.
Lin Mian didn't want to waste the time the two of them were alone, and tried to search for the topic in his mind: "Que Qingyan."
When the car turned into the underground parking lot next to the apartment complex, Que Qingyan caught a glimpse of her hesitant expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"In the past... there was a time when our company had some problems, and the lawsuit went on for a long time. So I always felt that it would be very troublesome to fight such a complicated economic lawsuit." Lin Mian recalled, softly said, " But today you were great…”
She blushed and added silently, which was also very pretty.
The Lin family was defeated. Que Qingyan was abroad at the time and heard about it.
Seeing that Que Qingyan was silent, Lin Mian turned his head to look at his expression, and found that he didn't seem happy about being praised.
She recalled what she had said just now, she regained her composure, and hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't—"
She didn't mean to be miserable, she wanted to take the opportunity to praise Que Qingyan, but it seemed to backfire.
Lin Mian is annoyed, what other topics can I find...
Just thinking about it, the phone rang suddenly.
Lin Mian glanced at the strange call, hesitated for a moment, and answered it.
"Hello? Is it Lin Mian?" A young male voice sounded from the opposite side, as if he had heard it somewhere before, "I'm Shen Yanzhou, Jiajia gave me your phone number, and I just want to call you to apologize..."
"..." Lin Mian repeated in doubt, "Shen Yanzhou?"
Que Qingyan paused.
Just after Lin Mian finished asking, he remembered who Shen Yanzhou was.
Mr. Shen.
Lin Mian was stunned, then glanced at Que Qingyan who was beside him in panic, and said to herself, she almost forgot, and there is still news to explain...
"At the club that day, I didn't expect to be photographed by the paparazzi." When mentioning this matter, Mr. Shen cursed secretly, but quickly returned to the topic, "I'm so sorry that you were injured by mistake."
The car had already stopped in the parking space, and there was Que Qingyan listening beside him. Lin Mian was eager to explain, wishing to hang up the phone quickly, and said in a vague way: "I have nothing to do, so I will hang up."
Before making the phone call, Bai Jiayi emphasized to Mr. Shen that if she apologized insincerely, she would go to the elders of the Shen family to complain. Of course Mr. Shen would not just hang up the phone like this, and said with a smile: "I will clarify the news as soon as possible, don't take it to heart, if you..."
Lin Mian held the mobile phone in one hand and groped to unbuckle the seat belt with the other. He hesitated for a moment between hanging up the phone immediately and getting out of the car to avoid Que Qingyan before finishing the call, and decided to hang up the phone while unfastening the seat belt. up.
The seat belt was half unfastened, and the lights in the car suddenly went out.
"..."
Unable to adapt to the sudden darkness, Lin Mian blinked, and in the next second found that the hand that unbuttoned the seat belt was buckled.
Warm fingers came up, and with her hand, she fastened the seat belt back again.
"..." Lin Mian was a little dazed, and asked in a low voice, tilting his head, "Que..."
In the next second, the mobile phone held in the other hand was pulled away and landed on the soft carpet in the car.
The phone is still on.
he…
In the dark light, Lin Mian felt her chin lifted, and Que Qingyan's fingertips brushed lightly on her lower lip, like a confirming touch.
The change came so suddenly that Lin Mian's heart beat like a drum, and he couldn't say a word.
Que Qingyan's clear and pleasant familiar breath came over him.
Afterwards, the other party's lips came close, and after a short kiss, he licked her lips and teeth, and deepened the kiss.
