I'm also looking forward to our future
The square was just outside the window, and there were still as many people as before, and the players and artists were still there, and I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Lou Shaotang stood up, "Wifey, I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes, wait for me for a while."
"Where is he?" Following the sound of the fire machine lid popping open, Di Jin's question floated into my ears.
Di Jin shrugged his shoulders, his expression full of righteousness, "Steven is my bro, I should be concerned about him."
I sneered. "You know he's your buddy, and you're being rude to his wife."
Di Jin lazily leaned back in the chair, his one hand casually resting on the back of the chair beside him. "There's still three weeks until the deadline for our bet." he said, as if to remind his.
I took a deep breath, trying my best to suppress my burning anger. "Di Jin, you will definitely lose this bet, I advise you not to waste any more energy."
Di Jin laughed loudly, his deep facial features looking even more lively compared to the smile. "Lisa, your confidence really makes me feel cute."
Admittedly, he was very handsome, especially now when he was smiling like that. However, due to his blind arrogance and his sarcasm towards me, not only did I not have a good impression of his handsome face that had bewitched so many women, I was even extremely disgusted with him.
With a disdainful chuckle, I said, "It's not that I'm confident, it's that I have faith in my husband."
"Oh? "Yeah." Di Jin raised his eyebrow, the curve of her lips was extremely mocking, "It looks like you still don't understand him enough."
"I know him well." I immediately retorted.
"How much do you know?" He immediately asked back, "Do you know about his past? What was he doing five years ago? What happened to him ten years ago? "
I was choked by his question. Honestly, I don't know. I don't know much about Lou Shaotang's past, no, to be exact, I don't know anything about him. I didn't ask him, and he didn't say.
But so what? Since it was the past, it was already the past. There was no need to know anymore.
Quickly calming my mind, I laughed. "I don't need to know his past. I only look forward to his future."
Just as I said that, Di Jin's hand that was using the fire engine stopped, and the smile on his face froze.
Heh, he must have been mistaken. I actually didn't care about Lou Shaotang's past. He knew he had made a mistake.
I have to have a shallow tick lip.
"Looking forward to the future!" Keeping the fire engine, Di Jin raised his hand and clapped twice. Putting down his folded hands, he leaned over the edge of the table and folded his hands. "You know, Lisa, that's what I'm going to tell you." He stared at me and said, word for word, "I, too, look forward to our future."
He smiled again, but it was not a smile of wanderlust or danger, it was serious, as if he were telling me something very serious and serious.
My mind blanked out by this abnormal smile. I suddenly felt that there was a difference from before. However, I couldn't tell what the difference was.
"You and I have no future!" I quickly regained my senses and refuted, "Di Jin, there's nothing between us, nothing! Do you understand? "
As soon as my emotionless voice fell, Di Jin narrowed his eyes and stared intently at me, the tip of his tongue slowly peeking out from his mouth.
Although he didn't say a word and the smile on his face remained floating, I could feel that his entire body was emitting a strong and cold aura. This aura was filled with danger and it could engulf me in darkness at any moment.
Under the table, my hands clenched into fists, and my back was covered with a thin sheen of cold sweat, but I was looking at him fearlessly.
Lou Shaotang's slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded out from behind me. The heart that was in my throat suddenly dropped, and my tense nerves relaxed.
"Hubby!" I stood up excitedly, and as if I had seen a guardian god, I tightly held onto Lou Shaotang's arm.
"Hi, Steven, long time no see!" Di Jin was still sitting on his seat, the smile on his face quickly returned to his former unruly face.
Lou Shaotang looked at Di Jin and me, and seeing that my expression was not too good, he frowned, then asked Di Jin: "Why are you here?"
Di Jin raised his eyebrows, and retorted back with a smile: "You can come, but I can't?"
As if knowing that he would answer her like this, Lou Shaotang curled her lips. "Coming here to travel, or to discuss business?"
Seeing him take his seat, I also returned to my original seat. However, my heart couldn't calm down as I jumped up and down, looking at Di Jin uneasily, afraid that he would say some nonsense to Lou Shaotang.
Di Jin lightly swept a glance at me, smiled, and denied: "Not even. "To see an old friend."
Lou Shaotang was not surprised, he poured a glass of red wine and said, "What a coincidence." He pushed the glass towards him.
Di Jin picked up the wine cup and gently shook it, his eyes staring at the wine in the cup, and said indifferently: "Steven, you're too unorthodox."
Lou Shaotang raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What?"
Di Jin pointed his head at me and said, "I was the one who had my eyes on Lisa first, and now you have snatched her away."
Although his words were scolding, his tone sounded like he didn't care, as if he was joking with Lou Shaotang.
I frowned, confused. Did he mean it or was he joking with me, when he had made a good bet with me, and had just said something so serious about looking forward to my future?
I kept my eyes on his cynical handsome face, trying to catch traces of his smile. But he was also as unfathomable as Lou Shaotang.
It's just that Lou Shaotang was able to make others unable to fathom his true nature, he had hidden himself so that others would not pry into his true nature. Yet Di Jin had said everything, but you didn't know which of his words were true and which were false.
"First?" Lou Shaotang's chuckle cut off my train of thoughts.
I looked at him and saw that he had lifted his lip and said, "How could you have gotten to me first?!"
"What do you mean?" Di Jin raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "Don't tell me that you didn't know her on the same day as me?"
Lou Shaotang laughed but did not say a word, he picked up his wine cup and took a sip, he could not conceal the pleased expression on his face.
Seeing that Lou Shaotang didn't want to tell him the true relationship between the two of us, I weighed my options in my heart and decided to say it out loud. If Di Jin is joking, that's for the best. Just treat it as listening to our stories from the past.
Thus, I cleared my throat and said: "Shao Tang and I were married three years ago.
Di Jin was startled, then involuntarily laughed out, and said in disbelief: "So that's how it is! I really don't know. "
I don't know if it was my imagination, but when he said this, I thought I saw a sly smile flash across his eyes, but when I looked closely enough, I was still surprised.
Seeing that I admitted it generously, Lou Shaotang was very happy. She took me in her arms and said to Di Jin, "So, no matter if it's in the past or in the future, you won't have the chance to do so."
My heart lurched, and I stared silently at his grinning face. I felt cold all over, but I kept trying to keep the smile on my face.
Lou Shaotang only thought that he was joking, and the two of them continued to chat for a while before Di Jin left.
"What did you talk about before I came?" Lou Shaotang immediately asked me after he left. His tone was filled with worry.
"Nothing much, just telling him about our marriage." It was better not to talk about those bad things, lest it increased his worries.
He nodded reassuringly, reminding me again, "Don't get too close to him."
I nodded, then spat out the question that had been buried in my heart for a long time, "Hubby, aren't you and Di Jin brothers friends? Why are you so wary of him?"
Lou Shaotang said without hesitation: "Even though he's this bro, he's not from the same world as us, it's still better to keep his distance."
"He's dangerous, isn't he?" I asked.
"Yes." Lou Shaotang spoke bluntly.
My guess has been verified, but I didn't let go of this matter. On the contrary, I became even more anxious, worried that Lou Shaotang and his past secret would be dangerous.
"Since you know he's dangerous, then why are you interacting with him?"
Lou Shaotang laughed indifferently, "He is dangerous, but I am not afraid." "But you have to stay away from him."
Right now, it's not that I don't want to stay away from Di Jin, it's that he's insisting on me like a leech. Of course, I cannot tell Lou Shaotang about this. Based on Lou Shaotang's temper, if I knew, I would definitely fall out with Di Jin, but I have no idea what Di Jin would do, because right now, I don't even know if he's joking or not.
If it's the best, then what if it isn't? If not, what kind of thing would a dangerous person like him do when he turned against Lou Shaotang? In addition, I do not know how dangerous he is, but the mere thought of the cold glint in his dark brown eyes makes me shudder, and my palms break out in cold sweat.
"Not feeling well?" Seeing that my face was pale and I was staring at an empty plate in a daze, Lou Shaotang touched my forehead and asked in concern.
"Nope." I shook my head and smiled, taking his hand. Recalling that he had previously said he would buy cigarettes, but he had returned empty-handed, he asked, "Didn't you say you would buy cigarettes?"
Lou Shaotang was startled, "Oh, I didn't manage to buy it." He asked me, "Are you full?"
"I'm full."
"Then let's go." He asked the waiter to pay the bill.
"Hubby, can you tell me about your past?" I asked Lou Shaotang as I laid on the bed in the hotel after showering.
"The past?" Lou Shaotang's hand that was rubbing my arm paused, his eyes still closed, he asked: "What do you want to hear?"
He opened his eyes and looked at me quizzically. "Why did you suddenly want to know that?"
"No reason. I just want to know, want to know more about you."
A moment later, he said, "Five years ago, I had just returned from studying in the United Kingdom, and then I entered the 'Tianyue'. From the Market Department onwards, I was appointed as the CEO by the Board of Directors half a year later."
"What about ten years ago?" It was a bit boring, so I didn't have much fun listening to it, so I didn't have the patience to listen any further.
Hearing that I was not interested in his narration a moment ago, Lou Shaotang chuckled. His laughter seemed to be something that I couldn't do anything about, as he followed my question and continued, "Ten years ago, I was studying in England. "Actually, there's nothing much to say. It's just studying. It's very dull."
He said it lightly, as if his life had been like a cup of tasteless boiled water. But I do not believe, whose youth will not be a love? Especially a man with an outstanding appearance like him who came from an illustrious family, there would definitely be many suitors.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. Staring at him, I asked a little sourly, "Are you just studying and not in a relationship?" When I finished, my heart was pounding, and I was looking forward to him saying no.
However, Lou Shaotang suddenly became silent, his lips pursed into a straight line, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy, a trace of sadness seeming to undulate at the bottom of his pitch black eyes.
He suddenly remembered that night in the mountains of Japan when I asked him about his first love.
Why? Had he not forgotten that woman? Still missing her?
In an instant, his heart was deeply stung by this thought.
Seeing that he still didn't say anything, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't get out, I secretly took a deep breath to suppress the aching pain in my heart. I gently called out to him, "Hubby?"
Lou Shaotang came back to reality and smiled at me, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about the company just now. What did you say?"
I was surprised and relieved that he wasn't thinking about that woman! At once I was in a good mood again, but I didn't show it. Instead I said in an indifferent tone, "I ask you, have you ever been in love?"
"Nope." he said firmly. Lifting my chin, the corner of my mouth curled up into a wicked smile, I said to me, "Alright, let's end this conversation here. We have some serious matters to attend to next."
Then, without waiting for my reply, he immediately kissed me on the mouth, and as his tongue probed my lips, his hand tenderly took up my soft hand.
Very soon, I was picked up by his proficient bean picking skills. I took the initiative to open it, and asked him to "hubby" in his feminine voice.
He immediately received my message and gently pulled me away from him. He knelt down until I was out of sight, his wet tongue pushing aside the barrier that was blocking the jungle sleep, and he followed the gurgling water all the way to the source of the water.
