He asked, "A new bracelet?" She replied, "My boyfriend gave it to me."
Yu Chuanbei frowned, calculating the time since she broke up with him. How could she have a boyfriend wh...
Extra Nan Luo: 21. May every year be a year of reunion
Yu Jinnan's cancellation of the engagement made the entire Yu family feel relieved. Originally, no one agreed to the marriage, but knowing the Second Miss's temper, no one dared to say a word. If anyone opposed it, she would be even more excited, and she must be with that old man in this life. Unexpectedly, last week he sent a grand proposal video to the family group, and sent them the date, asking them to prepare in advance, but the next week he said that they would not get married. This situation made the Yu family more worthy of celebration than the good news of her marriage. Yu Chuanbei specially found an expensive Japanese restaurant to treat Luo Hao to dinner and drinks to reward this great contributor. Luo Hao sipped the wine happily, and his words were modest, but his demeanor was proud. "I thought you two would return to China together." Yu Chuanbei said after toasting him with a glass of wine.罗浩却一副小孩子你不懂的样子说:“瑾南对待爱情的节奏跟别人不一样,我要再等等她。” 于川北佩服地冲他作了个揖说:“真看不出罗公子是这般一往情深的情种。” “我的隐藏技能多了,但我只向瑾南释放。”罗浩一脸欠揍的甜蜜。 但于川北对他还是有些担忧的,他了解二姐,没那么容易消停。于川北对罗浩的同情多了几分,这场饭局的账单,都像是给他的安慰奖。 罗浩和瑾南自那次在巴黎分别后,并没有正式确立什么稳定的恋爱关系。瑾南仍是全世界满天飞,似乎她找不到明确的结论时,就会到处迁徙,像一只候鸟,只奔赴温暖且繁花盛开的地方。 每年春节,只要有时间,她还是尽量回国陪父母过。 After the family had a lively time at their Shunyi villa, at midnight, she received a text message from Luo Hao wishing her all the best: "Jinnan, I wish you happiness every day, everything goes smoothly, and that you always get the life and the people you desire. Happy New Year!" Yu Jinnan stared at the three short lines of greeting on her phone, her fingers tapping on the keyboard, tempted to carefully craft a reply or simply reply with a quick "thank you." But neither seemed right, so she compromised with a "Thank you. Happy New Year to you too." Luo Hao followed up with another message: "It's rare for you to be back in China. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow." "Okay," she replied readily. "I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow after I get up. I'm still jet-lagged." "Okay, no rush. I'll wait." These few calm words were remarkably composed, while Yu Jinnan had already clenched his fist and shouted "YES!" several times. The next day, after waking up, Yu Jinnan sent Luo Hao a message...
Yu Jinnan's decision to cancel the engagement brought a sigh of relief to the entire Yu family. Originally, no one had agreed to the marriage, but knowing the Second Young Lady's temper, no one dared to raise a voice. Any objection only intensified her resolve, determined to be with that old man for the rest of her life. Unexpectedly, he had sent a grand proposal video to the family group last week, setting the date and asking them to prepare, only to announce the cancellation the following week. This situation gave the Yu family even more reason to celebrate than the news of her wedding itself.
Yu Chuanbei specially found an expensive Japanese restaurant to treat Luo Hao to a meal and drinks, to reward this great contributor. Luo Hao sipped his wine happily, and although he spoke modestly, his demeanor was actually full of pride.
"I thought you two would return to China together." Yu Chuanbei said after toasting him with a glass of wine.
Luo Hao, however, acted like a child and said, "Jinnan's pace of approaching love is different from others. I need to wait for her."
Yu Chuanbei bowed to him in admiration and said, "I never knew Mr. Luo was such a devoted lover."
"I have many hidden skills, but I only release them to Jinnan." Luo Hao looked sweet and annoying.
But Yu Chuanbei was still a little worried about him. He knew his second sister, and she wouldn't calm down so easily. Yu Chuanbei felt a little more sympathetic towards Luo Hao. The bill for this dinner was like a consolation prize for him.
Luo Hao and Jin Nan hadn't formally established a stable relationship since their separation in Paris. Jin Nan continued to fly around the world, as if when she couldn't find a clear conclusion, she would migrate everywhere, like a migratory bird, only heading for warm and blooming places.
Every Spring Festival, as long as she has time, she tries to go back home to spend it with her parents. After the family celebrated at their villa in Shunyi, at midnight, she received a blessing text message from Luo Hao: "Jinnan, I wish you happiness every day, everything goes smoothly, and I hope you can always get the life you want and the people you want. Happy New Year!"
Yu Jinnan stared at the three short lines of greetings displayed on his phone, fingers tapping on the keyboard, wanting to carefully reply, or just a quick "thank you." But neither felt right, so he compromised and replied: "Thank you. Happy New Year to you too."
Luo Hao then sent another message: "It's rare for you to return to China. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."
"Okay," she replied cheerfully. "I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow after I get up. I'm still stuck with the time difference."
"Well, don't worry, I'll wait for you." These few calm words were unusually calm. He himself had already clenched his fists and shouted "YES!" several times.
The next day, after Yu Jinnan woke up, she sent Luo Hao a message, asking him where and when to meet. Luo Hao replied briskly, "I'm in your yard, chatting with Uncle Yu and Aunt Hua. Take your time packing. There's no rush." He then added, "Wear more clothes. It's windy today."
Jinnan crawled out of the bed and started to clean up clumsily, complaining in his heart: We haven't done anything yet, why are you coming to meet my parents for no reason!
When she tidied herself up and came out, she saw Luo Hao sitting in the yard with his parents, chatting with a cup of hot tea. Two dogs were basking in the sun at his feet, and they seemed to be very familiar with him.
Seeing her approaching, Luo Hao stood up and looked at her with warm eyes. It seemed that all the light from the warm winter sun gathered on her. She felt a little warm on her body. Doing this in front of her parents, her face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Yu Langshan and Lin Hua sat on the rattan chairs and looked at the two children. They happened to be wearing white down jackets. They felt that they were a perfect match. They couldn't help but smile and urged them to go out and play while the weather was good.
As soon as Jin Nan got into Luo Hao's car, he gave her a wet French kiss. She couldn't help but hit him again: "Why are you so polite?"
"What's wrong?" Luo Hao retreated to the driver's seat and said shamelessly, "Given how well we know each other, we should be able to kiss each other as soon as we meet."
Jinnan rolled her eyes at him and stopped talking. He was in a good mood, and took her to stroll through the alleys of the old Xuanwu and Chongwen districts, avoiding all the famous tourist attractions and choosing many quiet and secluded alleys. They ate and drank all the way.
After playing enough, Luo Hao said, "My house is nearby. Do you want to go and have a look? It's newly renovated. You haven't been here yet."
Jin Nan squinted his eyes and said, "You must have carefully planned the route of today's hutong tour. The crisscrossing paths will eventually lead to your home."
Luo Hao smiled slyly and said, "Even if I have a ravine in my heart, I am just trying to understand your heart."
Jin Nan rolled his eyes at him and walked ahead. He followed happily.
Entering Luo Hao's house, Jin Nan felt that the decoration style was always festive and looked like a wedding room. "Is this your original taste?"
"Don't you like it?" Luo Hao asked behind her.
Jin Nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a disdainful attitude: "What does it have to do with me?" After thinking for a moment, he asked him again: "Don't you have a girlfriend now?"
When Luo Hao heard her ask this, a hint of disdain crossed his face. He couldn't help but challenge her and replied, "Yes, but I don't have a fixed one. What about you?"
She scoffed and said, "Every time I have a good relationship, you ruin it. I'm almost notorious in Parisian social circles now. Who would dare to date me?"
When she visited the bedroom, she unexpectedly saw a photo of the two of them taking a photo of the snow scene in front of a church in Melbourne that year on the bedside table.
She picked up the two photo frames and looked at them carefully. In one, they were standing properly, and in the other, he tilted his head to kiss her. There was still innocence and childishness on his face that year, and he looked at her with a smile with his eyes lowered, which seemed even a little silly.
She stroked the oily wooden frame with her thumb for a long time, speechless. He stood beside her, also speechless. She sighed inwardly, "So many years have passed."
When she looked up, she met his warm and deep gaze. He opened his mouth to speak, but she interrupted him: "It's not right. Why did you put this photo here? It would be embarrassing if others saw it!" She put the photo frame back in its place and turned to leave the bedroom.
He followed her and said nonchalantly, "My parents came over once when the house was first renovated. It's a good opportunity to let them take a look so they don't push me to get married again." Then his voice deepened a bit and he said, "When I told you I had a girlfriend, I was lying."
Hearing this, Jin Nan turned around to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly bumped into him. His solid body knocked her off balance, but fortunately he held her steady. She tried to hit him again, but he grabbed her raised hand tightly.
"You're an adult, why are you still acting like a fool!" Jin Nan couldn't move, so she could only scold him with her mouth, but he invaded and kissed her, blocking her mouth.
He put his arm around her waist and led her back to the bedroom, his clothes fragrant and his steps messy. They both fell into the soft bed. Jin Nan felt that this was not right and wanted to stop him, but he was too impatient.
"Luo Hao!" She was about to speak when he kissed her again. He didn't want to give her the chance to say something to spoil the fun at this time. If she opened her mouth, she would have to moan.
When sober, Yu Jinnan was Luo Hao's absolute master; but in bed, he would make her dizzy and forget herself, forcing her to submit to him endlessly.
He was done with his tossing and turning, and she had already collapsed on the bed. He hugged her again, but she said bitterly, "What's the point of us doing this?"
"It's considered a relationship!" Luo Hao said as a matter of course.
"How can anyone date like this?" Jin Nan said angrily.
"The two of us." He was still confident.
Jin Nan sighed again and said, "Have you ever stopped to think about our relationship? Every time we meet, we just have sex. We don't communicate much, and we haven't experienced family life together. You are in Beijing, and I am in Paris. We only see each other a few times a year. Apart from sex, there is actually no mutual attraction between us. Such a relationship is too fragile."
Luo Hao was silent for a long time. She thought he didn't want to discuss this topic at this time and gave up the desire to communicate with him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Seven years, Jinnan, we have known each other for seven years. In these seven years, is sex the only thing between us?"
Luo Hao's question made her feel lost and she didn't know how to respond.
He stroked her hair and continued, "Jinnan, I want to fall in love with you. I have wanted to since the first time I saw you. When I was decorating this house, I wanted to marry you and spend the rest of my life here with you. We may not have experienced the daily lives you mentioned together, but when I was living those days, I was thinking of you. You always asked me to try, and I tried, but I still felt it was boring. Only you can move my heart. There is no way, this is probably how it will be in this life, and I am happy with it." Even if sex is the initial desire between us and the energy that keeps our relationship going until now, you cannot deny that in love, it is indeed a very important connection point between two people. You are willing to meet, eat, chat, and daydream with this person, and you are also willing to go to bed with this person. These together make up the whole of love.
I know you want to live a free and carefree life, and I won't tie you down, because I've always liked you the way you are. So here, you can come and go as you please. Just give us a chance, okay? Migratory birds always return home.
Jin Nan was silent for a long moment, her slender fingers playing with his hair, her fragile nails scratching his scalp, making his stomach tighten with an itch. Her lingering fingertips finally found the scar, now no longer the frightening purple, but a more elegant gray. Her soft fingertips traced the veins of the scar, inch by inch, causing him to feel like tiny ants crawling across his heart, a tingling sensation that he couldn't find a way to control.
"If I do this, I will harm you." Jin Nan felt a bitter taste in his throat when he said this.
Luo Hao loosened his grip on her hand and said with a cynical smile, "Maybe it's you who's hurting me by never agreeing to be with me, making me feel so unwilling. But if we were to officially be together, all the years of affection would be gone, and we'd both be relieved to let go."
