11 pm, Blue Mountain Villa.

The curtains in the bedroom were not drawn. The girl was leaning against the bed, sitting on the high-class velvet carpet, looking at the moon and stars outside the window.

Next to her was a young romance novel. The plot was probably a little heart-wrenching. The bookmark was left with more than ten pages. It seemed that she was afraid that the ending would not be good, so she did not continue reading.

The man finished some work in the study. When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw the girl huddled by the side of the bed, revealing half of the back of her head.

The lights in the room were not turned on. Only when he opened the door, the orange light that leaked in from the corridor and the landscape lights that poured in from the French windows blended with the cold and warm colors. It surrounded the girl’s petite and thin figure, allowing people to see her at a glance There was a deep and distant artistic conception.

It also seemed very lonely, as if it was the loneliness after being abandoned by the whole world.

The sound of him closing the door pulled back the girl’s thoughts that drifted to God knows where, and her eyes that had no focus and were empty.

The man strode over and lit up the wall lamp by the bed. The light diffused down, barely illuminating a corner of the room.

The girl’s figure was hidden in the vast dimly lit shadows, making her petite body look even thinner.

A few seconds later, the man walked around the end of the bed. Just as he was about to bend down and carry her to bed to sleep, he heard her say softly, “Ji Yunshen, sit with me for a while! ”

The girl moved to the side, then looked up at him and patted the seat beside her.

The man’s exquisite eyebrows moved slightly, and he sat down next to her.

There was a few centimeters between the two of them, and neither of them moved. After sitting quietly for a few seconds, the girl tilted her little head and leaned on the man’s broad shoulders.

“Ji Yunshen… ”

“Yes! ”

Perhaps it was too late at night, but the girl’s voice was automatically tainted with the darkness and profundity of the night “I just read a young romance novel. It’s very well written, but it’s very heart-wrenching. The female lead lost her child and went to prison, and the male lead lost his memory and went abroad. The relationship of more than ten years, in the end, seems like a joke. ”

“What do you think… if this kind of plot happened in real life, what would happen? ”

The man glanced at the side of the girl’s face and reached out to put his arm around her soft and small shoulders. “We’ll meet again after a long separation. After all, time always likes to encourage the person we love deeply to love again. ”

“will we? Then… What about the hate? ”

“Only with love will there be hate. ”

Is that so Only with love will there be hate?

The Dark Blue Sky was decorated with countless stars. It seemed to be very far away, but it also seemed to be within reach.

Perhaps, one must always feel pain in their heart before they can learn to love and be loved.

…

The next day, at seven in the morning.

Ji Yunshen and Qiao man chatted until very late last night. The bright and dazzling fireworks of the New Year were reflected from a very, very far place. They just sat by the French windows and watched the fireworks that lit up half of forest city. For a second.. They even felt as if they had been together for a very, very long time.

So long that they had already blended into each other’s lives and bones, and it was difficult to separate them.

Ji Yunshen ran back, took a shower, and made some simple breakfast. Then, he strode upstairs, ready to call the little girl who was still sleeping soundly.

The rays of the morning sun fell from the withered branches of the Magnolia Tree. Through the gaps of the curtains, they spread over her body, turning into a mottled and distant shadow. It was so bright and dazzling that it almost drowned her.

His body carried a cold air that did not match the temperature in the bedroom. As soon as he sat down by the bed, the girl’s delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Almost in the next second, the man bent down and his strong arms supported her on both sides of her body. Then, his thin lips covered the girl’s Soft Red Lips.

The breath from her mouth and nose was taken away, causing the girl’s exquisite brows to furrow into a ball. She wanted to reach out and push away the thing that was messing around on her lips, but she felt that the touch was not right.

The blank space in her mind was slowly filled by this perception. She opened her eyes in a daze, and in front of her was a handsome face magnified by the man.

His kiss was very gentle and lingering. There was no intention of wanton aggression or rough rape at all. This scene was like an idol drama that often aired on TV. When the male lead kissed the female lead in the morning light, it was supposed to be beautiful and romantic.

He just stared at it for a few seconds, or maybe dozens of seconds, until the man felt that the girl’s breathing began to quicken and her body became as soft as a pool of water. Only then did he end this seductive and lingering kiss.

“Qiao is three years old. She woke up. It would be rude if she went late. Don’t let the elders wait. ”

She had just woken up from a deep sleep and her anger from waking up had not subsided much. When she heard him, her eyebrows moved and she looked at him quietly for a few seconds before discussing in a soft tone, “Ji Yunshen, can we not go? ”

“No. ”

After saying that, he reached out and hugged her to sit up. “Hurry up and get ready. Secretary Sun should be here soon to pick up Gu Dongfeng. We will set off after breakfast. ”

Qiao man lifted her little feet and threw the blanket over. “got it. What are you still standing here for? Go Out. It’s very annoying to see you. ”

A faint smile appeared on the man’s lips. Hearing this, he rubbed her messy hair. “There are still twenty minutes left. If you don’t want to go back to see your elders without any makeup, you should wash up and put on your makeup in the bathroom now! ”

Qiao man glared at him resentfully. Then, she lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She walked unwillingly to the bathroom.

After washing up and changing her clothes, she shuffled her slippers downstairs and saw Ji Yunshen sitting at the dining table and Gu Dongfeng who had just entered the door.

Qiao man ran down the stairs and ran to Gu Dongfeng’s side, hugging his waist. “were you so excited last night that you couldn’t sleep? ”

Gu Dongfeng had just reached out his hands to hug her back when the girl in front of him was grabbed by a big hand and stuffed into the dining chair. “LET’S EAT! ”

Gu Dongfeng looked at the man whose face was so dark that it looked like water could drip out of it. He then looked at the woman who was sitting on the dining chair with an angry face and did not dare to say anything. He suddenly felt that their interactions seemed to have become much more tacit.

They knew each other’s taboos and bottom lines. They also knew each other’s weaknesses and weaknesses.

People who wanted to live together for a lifetime must complement each other’s personalities. They could see each other’s strengths and tolerate each other’s weaknesses.

This kind of virginity was generally known as love.

Gu Dongfeng put the backpack on the floor and walked to the dining table to sit down. “sister, you got married… Oh, no, I should say that after the divorce, you seem to have changed a lot! ”

Qiao man chewed on her toast and looked at Gu Dongfeng coolly. “really? How have I changed? ”

“I seem to have become uglier and fatter, and my dark circles have become more serious. Most importantly, why are you dressing like a teenage girl? ” “even though men like little fairies, you’re already 23… “. “Oh, that’s not right. You’re already 24 years old after the New Year, but you’re still pretending to be young. Isn’t that a little bad? ”

Gu Dongfeng continued as if he had not noticed Qiao Man’s gaze “When I was studying abroad, I met a girl as old as you. She wore an OL-style outfit all day long. She was capable and elegant, and gave off a familiar and charming fragrance. You, why are you getting more and more eccentric? ”

Qiao man gnashed her teeth as she chewed on her toast. She glared at him fiercely. “Gu Dongfeng, have you been in Rehab for too long? Do you not know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is? How dare you insult your older sister, who is five years older than you? ”

“Well, if you don’t like being an older sister, you can call me brother. In any case, I will protect you for the rest of my life. ”

“Tsk, who cares! ”

Being moved had always had something to do with tears.

Even though this world was so dirty and dark, this one second of sunlight seemed to illuminate her heart for a long time!

…

After breakfast, Gu Dongfeng insisted on staying in the villa and not going to the JI residence with them.

Qiao man knew the awkwardness and knot in his heart. She also knew that Li Qing’s matter had been stranded. or rather, Ji Yunshen had already found some clues, but he did not tell them anything. He only said a few words about the plane’s own malfunction.

However, she and Dongfeng had a tacit understanding. Li Qing definitely was not in cahoots with Ji Yunshen, but someone else. Of course, to be more precise, it was a woman.

However, these were just some guesses. There was no evidence to prove that this was true.

However, they also knew that this matter would come to light sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. After all, too many people were involved.

Ji Yunshen and Qiao man did not force him too much. They respected his choice and left the house.

On the way, Qiao man picked up some tea leaves and everyone bought a gift. Even though those people might not like her, she had been educated like this since she was young. She treated everyone with more courtesy.

Because of the traffic jam, when the smoke gray Bentley parked steadily in front of the JI residence’s parking lot, it was already ten o’clock in the morning.

Ji Donghe, Zhou Lanqing, Ji Ming, Mu Xi, and Ji Han were all there. The two of them walked in, and the few people sitting on the Sofa looked over at the same time.

Behind them was a bright light that surged out from the French windows, almost enveloping their figures, adding many beautiful Orange Halos. It was so beautiful that one could only associate it with two idioms. A man and a woman were a match made in heaven.

The man was responsible for carrying the gifts as he approached. The girl followed behind him. The atmosphere was awkward for a few seconds. In the end, it was Mu Xi who stood up to smooth things over. “You’re here and you bought so many gifts. You’re very thoughtful! ”

Although she did not mention her name, everyone in the room knew that she was talking to Qiao Man.

Qiao man smiled gently and tucked her hair behind her ear. “No, it should be! ”

Perhaps she did not expect Ji Yunshen to bring her back, so not long after they entered the living room, Ji Donghe used the excuse of having unfinished military affairs to discuss with Ji Ming in the study upstairs before leaving.

Mu Xi and Ji Han went to the kitchen to help with the cooking. For a moment, only Zhou Lanqing, Ji Yunshen, and Qiao man were left in the living room.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Ji Yunshen took the gift box on the ground and handed it to Zhou Lanqing’s feet. “Grandma, this is the tea that man man chose for you. It’s this year’s Longjing tea before the rain, your favorite tea! ”

“thank you, you’re very thoughtful! ”

Qiao Man’s lips had a faint smile on them. It did not make people feel distant, nor did it make people feel close to her. It was just right that they were not too far or too close. “No, it should be! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud bang from upstairs. It was probably Ji Donghe and JI ming quarreling over military affairs.

Mu Xi and Ji Han heard the noise and ran out of the kitchen, rushing upstairs to persuade Ji Han.

Seeing that JI yunshen had no intention of moving, Zhou Lanqing raised her leg and kicked him. “Didn’t you hear your grandfather and your father quarreling? Hurry up and go take a look! ”

Qiao man heard the increasingly loud quarreling sounds upstairs and the incessant smashing of things. She came over, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice, “go take a look. It’s not good to be so noisy during the New Year! ”

Hearing this, Ji Yunshen took a deep glance at Zhou Lanqing across from him, then lowered his head to look at the little girl beside him. When he got up, he said, “I’ll be back very soon! ”

The meaning of this sentence was that he was afraid that Zhou Lanqing would do something to her, or say something that would make her suffer from bullying. Therefore, when he went upstairs to take a look, he would come down to accompany her and not let her be alone.

The next second, almost as if the man’s figure had disappeared at the stairway, Zhou Lanqing took out a red book from her pocket and placed it on the Transparent Sofa. “Miss Qiao, I don’t know if you’ve looked carefully at your divorce certificate with Xiao Shen. ”

Qiao man was stunned for a few seconds after she heard that, as if she did not understand what she was saying.

“Miss Qiao’s acting skills are really not bad. Otherwise, how could Xiao Shen be so infatuated with her, to the point where he became infatuated with her? ” Zhou Lanqing moved, her back was deeply embedded in the back of the Leather Sofa “Miss Qiao, don’t tell me that you don’t know that this divorce certificate is fake! ”

Qiao man was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. She reached out to take the red book on the table. This was the first time she had looked at it carefully under such bright light.

Zhou Lanqing saw that she was looking at it so seriously and laughed softly. “Miss Qiao, do you know why Xiao Shen suddenly gave up on the business world and returned to the military and political world? ”

Because she had received a marriage certificate, she knew that there would be an official seal on the staff card of the civil affairs bureau at the place where the photo was taken. However, this book did not have it. In other words, her book did not have it either.

So, they had never gotten a divorce. It was just a fake divorce?

Zhou Lanqing saw that she did not say anything and said with a smile “He gave up his flourishing career in the business world and returned to the military and political world that he did not like very much. He started the path of mutual deception that he would never be able to escape from in his life. ”

Was it because the sunlight was too dazzling that her eyes hurt so much.

“Of course, I accepted his proposal. On the premise that I accept you, I let him return to the military and political circles. ” She stroked the jade ring on her hand. Her white hair was so dazzling under the sunlight. “But there’s one thing that you might not know… ”

As she spoke, Zhou Lanqing was about to take out the envelope containing the photo from her pocket. However, before she could take it out, she heard steady footsteps coming from the stairway. She took her hand out of her pocket again She looked at Ji Yunshen who was slowly walking towards her from the stairway as if nothing had happened.

“It’s the new year. Why are the father and son quarreling so much? ”

“maybe it’s about politics. I didn’t ask about the specifics. ”

The man walked over and sat beside Qiao Man. The next second, he took her little hand from her lap and held it in his big hand.

“What did you talk about with grandma? ”

The man’s words were somewhat probing. The girl turned her head. There was nothing in her clear black and white eyes. They were so clean that they were almost spotless. “We just talked about tea. My Father Loved Drinking Longjing before the rain when he was alive. ”

The man nodded and asked again, “that’s all we talked about? ”

“Yes, that’s all. There’s nothing else. ”

The quarrel between the father and son upstairs ended. Mu Xi and Ji Han came down from upstairs one after the other. When they saw the three of them in the living room, the atmosphere was a little strange. Neither of them approached them.
