Chapter 92
On the terrace, Shao Qinghe stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time.
The white clouds are moving slowly across the sky which is as clear as the sea.
The shadows of the magnolia tree's leaves tremble gently on the colorful terrazzo tiles.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Chen Lanjun saw that he did not move, while the security guard next to the garden gate was already walking towards this side with a frown.
She restrained her expression and tried to explain: "That I am..."
The next moment, Shao Qinghe suddenly moved——
Amid the exclamations of the security guard and the gardener, he supported himself on the edge of the terrace with one hand, jumped out, and using the bricks and stones of the lower flower bed, he actually jumped directly down.
Then, he ran towards her without hesitation.
Chen Lanjun's eyes widened: "You - this is a terrace after all, it's very high!"
Before she finished her words, she was embraced by a warm embrace.
It was like falling into the blue waters of midsummer.
Shao Qinghe murmured a sentence in English:
"I, with love's light wings flew over the garden wall, because the brick walls are not cut off the love."
This time, the person who was stunned became Chen Lanjun.
Shao Qinghe smiled and distanced himself from her, but she was still the only one in his sight:
"Sorry, I'm so happy. I just thought of this English sentence. It's from Romeo and Juliet."
He thought for a moment and gently translated the English sentence to Chen Lanjun:
"On the wings of love I fly over the round wall, For walls of brick and stone cannot keep love out."
Chen Lanjun smiled and said, "Romeo climbed up the balcony, but you jumped off it."
"Because I'm so glad to see you."
Shao Qinghe saw the sun shining on Chen Lanjun and said, "It's a bit too hot. Let's go inside."
However, he turned to the gardener, security guard and housekeeper who were already shocked beyond measure and said, "This is my distinguished guest. Please prepare lunch well."
Then he led Chen Lanjun through the garden and to the room.
This villa is a standard European-style building with a light yellow exterior wall that contrasts beautifully with the greenery of the mountains.
Entering from the entrance, to the right is a spiral staircase leading to the second floor, and to the left is the living room. The living room is semi-circular, with large French windows through which you can see swaying flower shadows and the sky and sea in the distance.
Chen Lanjun's gaze stopped on an oil painting in the sunny side of the living room. In the painting was a woman in cheongsam, sitting by the window of the living room, gazing at the sea.
Shao Qinghe noticed her gaze and said, “This is my mother.”
"Auntie is really elegant." Chen Lanjun curiously shifted her gaze from the painting to Shao Qinghe. Looking closely, when Shao Qinghe was not smiling, his temperament was somewhat similar to his mother's.
"Isn't she home today?"
"She passed away some years ago."
Shao Qinghe spoke in a calm tone.
Chen Lanjun immediately said "I'm sorry".
"It's okay. It happened a long time ago. Please sit down. Sorry, it's a bit messy here."
Shao Qinghe must have been handling official business before, and documents and newspapers were scattered around.
He immediately folded the things up, put them aside, and asked Chen Lanjun to sit down.
Soon, the servant came to invite us to dinner, which was in a room inside the living room.
Since Shao Qinghe had specifically instructed, the lunch dishes were particularly rich and varied, filling the table.
After climbing all the way up the mountain to find Shao Qinghe, Chen Lanjun was a little hungry, so the two of them talked while eating and told each other about their recent situations.
When Shao Qinghe heard Chen Lanjun say that she came here to help her sister open a shop, he felt a little helpless.
"That's right. If you didn't have something to deal with, you wouldn't have come to Hong Kong on purpose."
This sounded a bit like the complaint of a woman. Chen Lanjun looked at him and said, "Be fair. You only care about the letter and not the person."
Shao Qinghe thought about it and then changed his mind. After all, she came to see him on purpose, which meant that she still cared about him, so his mood improved a little.
His frown relaxed again and he served Chen Lanjun a bowl of corn cream soup.
Chen Lanjun saw that his brows were no longer furrowed, so she asked, "Is your father feeling better?"
"It's fine now. But as long as he doesn't return to his post, I have more things to do." Shao Qinghe sneered and said, "Born in this kind of family, there is nothing I can do."
As they were talking, the butler came over and stood beside Shao Qinghe. It was obvious that he had something to say.
Shao Qinghe continued to cut steak with his knife and fork, saying, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
It means that there is no need to avoid Chen Lanjun.
The housekeeper understood and said, "The second young master just called and said he wanted to go fencing with you. He has already set out."
Shao Qinghe frowned again: "Why is he crazy again?"
"Is anyone coming?"
Chen Lanjun put down the spoon.
At this stage, she didn't want to have any close friendship with the Shao family.
It sounds like the person coming here is Shao Qinghe's younger brother? He has a younger brother? No wonder he didn't dare to leave Hong Kong during his father's illness.
Shao Qinghe saw her movements and roughly guessed what she was thinking, and said, "It's my father's second wife who gave birth to the child. She really knows how to pick the time. I originally wanted to go shopping with you this afternoon."
"I happen to have something else to do this afternoon. My sister and I have an appointment to go to the store to discuss the contract."
Chen Lanjun picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, then said, "How about I come back when you are free?"
"Where do you live now?"
Chen Lanjun thought about it, told him the approximate address, and reminded him: "I live with my sister and niece now, and the place is not very big, so..."
Shao Qinghe lowered his eyes: "I understand. I won't disturb you rashly until you are ready."
How to say it, the look of him slightly lowering his head made Chen Lanjun feel a little guilty.
However, now is indeed not the best time for them to contact each other's families, either for Shao Qinghe or for her.
After two seconds of silence, Chen Lanjun stood up, walked to Shao Qinghe, and put her hand on his chair: "Now is not the most appropriate time, do you understand?"
"Yeah. I know. Just like I don't want you to meet those annoying people."
This annoying person naturally refers to the second young master of the Shao family and the mess behind him.
Shao Qinghe felt a little irritated for no reason, and he was reluctant to let Chen Lanjun know about the parts that were not so glamorous.
What if she finds out and doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore because it's too troublesome? What should I do then?
The Shao family’s affairs are enough to support a bunch of tabloids and paparazzi in Hong Kong.
It would be better to let her get rid of those things as late as possible.
It would be best if he dealt with all these troublesome people and troublesome things.
Thinking of those people and things, Shao Qinghe's face turned cold.
Chen Lanjun placed her hand gently on his shoulder.
"I wonder if it would be okay if I make an appointment with you on Saturday in advance?"
"certainly."
Shao Qinghe looked back at her and sighed slightly: "What should I do? You haven't left yet, but I've already started looking forward to it."
