“then I’d like to see what’s good. ”

Du Anran was already standing at the door. She looked into the distance and waited for Xin Zimo to come over.

The Sun shone on her face. She finally put Xiao Qingqing’s matter aside. She knew that the feud between her and Xiao Qingqing would explode one day.

Not long after, when the Black Maybach stopped in front of her like a noble King, she saw Xin Zimo get out of the car.

The broken golden sunlight shone on his face, and there was a profound expression between his eyes.

Sure enough, he was holding a carved wooden box in his hand. Du Anran ran up to him and smiled. “The closer you are to the red, the darker the ink. Aren’t you afraid that after being with me for a long time, your taste will become lower? ”

He put his arm around her waist and smiled brightly. “Then let’s see which one of us is more determined… ”

He took her upstairs. When he opened the gift in the box, Du Anran felt that compared to this man, her taste was indeed vulgar.

The box was neither a necklace, perfume, nor a bank card. Instead, it was an Agarwood comb that emitted a faint fragrance.

This comb was as exquisite as the box outside. It was engraved with the pattern of twining lotuses, and both ends were inlaid with gemstones and tourmaline. It lay quietly in the box, with traces of the passage of time.

“What an exquisite comb… ” she could not help but praise it.

“And it has a deep history. ” Xin zimo picked up the comb.

Du Anran asked curiously, “what history? Could it be that you auctioned it off again? ”

Xin zimo brushed her soft hair with one hand and used the other hand to gently comb her black hair.

When the comb gently touched her hair, a different kind of warmth welled up in the bottom of Du Anran’s heart. She had never thought that there would be such a man combing her hair in her lifetime.

“This comb is said to be one of the betrothal gifts Tang Taizong received when he married the eldest grandson empress. I don’t know if the legend is true or not, but this comb is indeed from that era. “I got it from an old collector. I wanted to give it to you the moment I saw it. ”

Xin Zimo said as he gently combed du Anran’s hair. Du Anran sat by the window, enjoying the warmth.

“A wooden comb to fix our love. I also hope that we will be together forever. ” When Xin Zimo said these words, his face was full of natural sincerity, and there was a kind of eager desire in his eyes.

In this life, he wanted to stay with Du anran forever, and he wanted her to stay by his side.

The corners of Du Anran’s eyes fell in an instant. She believed that he had really fallen in love with her. It was probably very blissful to be loved by a person like this.

She lowered her head and allowed him to comb her hair with a wooden comb. His fingertips slid over her hair, gentle and gentle. She could not help but close her eyes and enjoy the tenderness he gave her.

After he tied her hair into a bun, he handed the wooden comb to her. He planted a kiss on her cheek. Du Anran’s face turned red like a little girl in love for the first time, but a beautiful smile had already bloomed on her lips.

Du Anran sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling Mirror. Xin Zimo’s hands were on her shoulders. He slowly lowered his head and looked at her and himself in the mirror.

At the beginning of the New Year, Du Anran felt that she was blissful. There were many things that were dark before she understood them. When she understood them, it was a new light.

When Xin Zimo’s mother left London, she took Chi Xue with her. Initially, they planned to leave with Xin Zimo, but Xin Zimo did not seem to have any intention of leaving. In addition, there were many things in the country waiting for her to deal with, so she could only leave London.

Before she left London, she did not get to see du Anran. Xin Zimo’s mother thought that Xin Zimo really had feelings for Du Anran, firmly protecting her under his wings.

However, she would not agree to Xin zimo marrying Du Anran. It was absolutely impossible.

As soon as mother Xin left, Xin Zimo brought Du Anran back to the villa. However, Du Anran had always wanted to go home. After moving in for a few days, she proposed to return to the country.

She was still brooding over Xiao Qingqing’s phone call. She knew that Xiao Qingqing was a threat, but with Xiao Qingqing’s methods, she would do anything.

Xin Zimo agreed to go back with Du Anran. In fact, he was very clear that once they returned to the country, there would be storm after storm that would greet them.

The night before they left London, Xin Zimo went to find Guo Zi.

Both of them had their own worries, so both of them drove a sports car and raced on the wide streets of London. Racing seemed to be a very childish behavior, but it could indeed relax one’s mood.

Guo Zi’s personality was wild and unruly. He saw that Xin Zimo had suppressed himself too much in the country, and he had not seen Xin Zimo smile without any scruples even after coming to London for so long.

“Zimo, do you not have any friends in the country? ” Guo Zi increased his horsepower and stepped on the accelerator, whistling past.

The tall trees on the side of the road retreated quickly. The only sound that could be heard on the quiet road was the car whizzing forward like an Arrow leaving the bow.

Xin Zimo’s Lamborghini did not show any signs of weakness and chased after him. “There are no friends in the business world. ”

Guo Zi tilted his head and happened to see Xin Zimo’s cold side profile. Under the sunglasses, he could not see Xin Zimo’s gaze, but he could guess what kind of state of mind he was in.

“I remember that two years ago, when you were planning to use Du Anran, you told me that love was dispensable and that marriage could also be used as a bargaining chip. ” The corners of Guo Zi’s mouth curled into a smile.

Xin zimo pursed his lips. Yes, he did say that.

Guo Zi continued to speak loudly, “then aren’t you still blinded by love now? ! ”

“Lust makes the mind muddle. It’s your sister-in-law’s fault for being too beautiful! ” Xin zimo curled his lips into a smile.

Guo Zi smiled and said, “a beauty is a disaster. I think you’re going to fall for this girl. ”

“As long as I’m willing! ” Xin Zimo also said loudly.

The two of them did not give in. Sometimes, Guo Zi’s porsche surpassed Xin Zimo’s Lamborghini, but soon, Xin Zimo caught up again. Sometimes, if Xin Zimo was not careful, Guo Zi would catch up to him.

Guo Zi had done a lot of racing with his brothers in London. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. He was better in terms of technology, but in terms of patience and strength, Xin Zimo had the upper hand.

A few lanes passed, but no one had the upper hand. The distance was almost the same.

London’s winter was also bleak. The wind blew into their convertible, but the two of them did not feel cold at all. Instead, they were secretly competing.

When they reached the end of a road, the two of them were finally tired. Xin Zimo stepped on the brakes first and stopped the car. When Guo Zi saw that he had stopped the car, he also parked the Porsche next to Xin zimo’s Lamborghini.

Xin Zimo got out of the car and leaned against the car to light a cigarette. The moonlight shone on his black coat, making him look handsome and cold.

Guo Zi also lit a cigarette. The two of them had a tacit understanding.

“When will you come back next time? ” Guo Zi asked.

“maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe ten years, ” Xin Zimo said calmly.

“If you don’t come back, I’ll go to the country to look for you. When do you plan to get married? ”

Xin zimo frowned. “Wait until I take care of everything. ”

“Aren’t you afraid that Du Anran will leave with someone else before you’re done? ”

“What are you talking about? She wouldn’t dare! ”

Guo Zi laughed. “I’m just kidding. Oh right, I have a lead on the matter you asked me to investigate before the New Year. ”

“Oh? Tell me about it. ”

“almost all of the people who were involved in the gunfight died. The clues were already lost. However, I later found out that their target was indeed your information. Not many people know that you went to retrieve the information. The signing meeting was the key. ”

“You mean… someone leaked the information during the meeting? ” Xin zimo frowned. “impossible. It’s impossible for someone to leak the information during a completely closed meeting. Moreover, they’ve been partners for many years. ”

“My suggestion is that there’s no need to continue investigating. So, let’s just pretend that this matter is over. In any case, the information has been successfully sent back to the Xin family. ” There was an unfathomable depth in Guo Zi’s eyes.

“When did you learn to speak halfway? ”

“I mean, there’s no need. ”

“Guo Zi, you’re hiding something from me. ” Xin Zimo was not the kind of person who would be easily deceived. He could tell from Guo Zi’s evasive gaze.

“What do I have to hide from you? I don’t have a final answer, so I can’t tell you. ”

“I hope so. ” Xin zimo looked at him meaningfully.

“Xin Zimo, I still have the same question. If one day, you have to make a choice between the Xin family and Du Anran, what would you choose? ” Guo Zi knew that the Xin family was Xin Zimo’s life, then Du Anran.. What kind of position Did du Anran have in his heart?

Xin zimo remained silent. He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he said calmly, “if there really is such a day, you will see my choice. ”

Guo Zi nodded and did not continue to ask.

That night, Xin Zimo and Guo Zi had a long conversation. Guo Zi also mentioned Xiaoxian and the fact that he wanted to open a bar. Xin Zimo naturally supported Guo Zi a hundred times. However, it was not convenient for him to interfere in the matter between him and Xiaoxian.

Anyway, his Eq was low, so he could not come up with good suggestions. Moreover, Guo Zi and Xiaoxian were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together. Even if they quarreled, it would not take long for them to reconcile.

When Xin Zimo returned to the villa, Du Anran had already packed everything. Xin zimo laughed at her impatience.

Du Anran checked if she had missed anything and said to Xin Zimo, “I remember that you used to be very busy in the country. How can you be free during this period of time? ”

“The president also has his annual leave. Can’t I take a break? ” Xin zimo leaned on the side calmly and watched her pack her things.

“I thought you were a workaholic and didn’t know how to rest! ”

“who have you been learning from recently? You only know how to target me. ”

“I don’t dare… ” Du Anran stuck out her tongue.

“Just let the housekeeper pack it. There’s no need to do it personally. We should go to bed. ”

“I’m not sleepy. YOU SLEEP ALONE! ”

“How can I sleep alone? ” Xin Zimo put her arm around her waist and tickled her neck.

“By the way, I have something to ask you. ” Du Anran turned around. “Why did you buy four plane tickets the last time you came to London? ”
