The bodyguard was originally at the door, but he retreated outside.
When Min Xi looked up, her eyes were filled with tears. She had been waiting for him to say this for many years. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him with her lips in response to his confession.
When I kiss deeply, my heart feels like it’s been tightened and my breathing is difficult.
No kiss was deep enough.
Fu Yanzhou held her in his arms and did not let go even when the waiter brought the food.
Min Xi took a few deep breaths before she calmed down. Fu Yanzhou patted her back. The meal they served didn't have what she liked, so he added a shrimp salad for her.
Fu Yanzhou pulled out the chair in front of the dining table and asked her to sit over.
Min Xi didn't sit down, but raised her hands to hug his waist and stuck to him.
Fu Yanzhou coaxed her in a low voice: "Eat first, and then hug me when we get back."
Min Xi: "I will go back to Paris after dinner. I don't have time to hug you now."
The next time we meet will be during the New Year.
Fu Yanzhou said, "I have time. I was going to see you tonight anyway. I'll take you back in the evening."
Min Xi refused to let him see her off, as he had a very important business meeting tomorrow afternoon. "You're tired from running around, and it will affect your performance during the negotiation. Get enough rest and make some money to buy me a dress."
Seeing her pretending to be a money-grubber in all seriousness, Fu Yanzhou couldn't help laughing.
Min Xi added, "If you are going to send me off after your work, it will take until midnight to arrive in Paris. I want to go back early and rest up. I have to have a remote meeting with Xiao Chang and the others tomorrow."
Bei Qingyu suddenly became very popular, and naturally, corresponding problems also came one after another. They have to make plans in advance for possible troubles and crises that may arise in the future.
Fu Yanzhou promised her: "I won't send you off. You should go back early."
He moved the dining chairs that were originally placed on both sides of the dining table to one side and let her sit next to him.
Min Xi forked a piece of meat from his plate and ate it, thinking that he would be in a better mood after the confession and would like to eat meat a little more than before. But after taking a bite, he didn't want to eat anymore.
Fu Yanzhou took the fork she was using to fork the meat, gave her his unused fork, and ate the remaining half of the meat.
"Do you want to play games?" he asked.
Min Xi: "What game?"
"Truth or dare. There's no such thing as dare." Fu Yanzhou looked at her, "Do you want to play?"
Min Xi thought about whether he had any secrets that Fu Yanzhou didn't know, and it seemed that there were none.
She was curious about what question he would ask, "Play."
Fu Yanzhou: "Is there anything I haven't done well enough?"
Min Xi didn't expect this to be a truth or dare question. Others played truth or dare to get each other's secrets, but he used truth or dare to complete the task of self-reflection.
Fu Yanzhou kept looking at her while he spoke, "It's okay, just tell me. For example, I'm not indulgent enough for you."
Min Xi did not hide his greed at all: "The more indulgence, the better."
Fu Yanzhou smiled: "Okay, I understand."
He motioned for her to talk about other areas that were not in place.
"there is none left."
Min Xi pointed to his eyes and said, in the eyes of a lover, everything about him is good. "I'll open the back door for you, and then you can ask me another question."
She added: “Ask whatever you want.”
Fu Yanzhou wanted to know when she started to like him, but he felt it was inappropriate to ask her directly.
Min Xi caught his hesitation and said, "It's okay. There is no offense between us."
Fu Yanzhou used euphemisms in his words: "When did you start to have feelings for me?"
Min Xi: “…”
Maybe because she was too happy today, she actually overlooked this little secret. She went back on her words: "The most sincere truth now is that I don't want to tell you."
Fu Yanzhou said with a smile: "Don't play tricks, talk nicely."
Min Xi couldn't say it, and waited for him to find out on his own.
It started from the summer vacation when she was about to enter her freshman year of high school. That year he graduated from his senior year and applied to the Ivy League school he wanted to attend. He celebrated his birthday and invited people of similar age in the compound to the party. At that time, he had a good relationship with Min Ting and they often played basketball together. Min Ting took her to the birthday party.
When the cake was pushed up, she said, "I'll make a wish like the top student, to share in his good luck."
Fu Yanzhou was not interested in making a wish and blowing out the candles, so he gave her his seat and called her, "Xixi, come here, I'll make a wish for you."
On his birthday, she made the wish and blew out the candles.
It was from that moment that her feelings towards him changed subtly.
During the winter vacation, my love for him grew stronger and stronger, so strong that I even had a possessive desire to become the first contact in his WeChat address book.
She can't now express the joy and excitement she once felt.
Min Xi put down his fork, turned around and hugged him, looking up at him: "Ask me another question."
Fu Yanzhou had no way to deal with her coquettish behavior, so he followed her wishes and changed the question: "In your heart, who comes first, me or Min Ting?"
Min Xi: “…”
She smiled and pushed him away, and the warmth just now disappeared as soon as it was said.
After lunch, Fu Yanzhou took her to the suite upstairs.
Min Xi got up early in the morning and is feeling sleepy now.
Fu Yanzhou told her to go to bed and sleep for two hours before going back to Paris, "We can make it in time."
Min Xi took off his coat and gave it to him, "I'll just take a nap on the sofa."
Fu Yanzhou took a quilt from the bed and handed it to her. He had an appointment at three o'clock, so it was time for him to leave.
"I'm leaving now." He kissed her on the forehead.
Min Xi set the alarm for an hour later. There was his scent on the quilt, and she fell asleep quickly.
At 6:40 in the evening, Fu Yanzhou returned to the hotel after finishing his business.
The quilt was made on the bed, and there was a note from her on the desk. It was not words, but a simple sketch. A cake was simply outlined with a black pen, and a smiley face was drawn in the lower right corner.
He asked Secretary Bai to order a rose cake to be sent to Min Xi's apartment.
Bai Shan immediately contacted the dessert shop there, saying that it was too late to make it today, but if she ordered now, it could be delivered tomorrow at noon.
--
The next day at noon, Min Xi had just finished a video conference with Xiao Chang and others when her brother called her and said he was already downstairs in the apartment.
Min Xi stood up from his chair excitedly, "Brother, why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do."
Min Ting hung up the phone and pushed his suitcase into the elevator.
He was on a business trip to Manhattan. He would first go to Paris to spend a day and then take a flight to Manhattan the day after tomorrow. I took a detour to see her because I really had nothing to do.
Although a driver and a chef were arranged for her, she would feel uneasy if she didn't come in person.
Min Xi was waiting at the door, helping his brother push the suitcase into the house.
Min Ting closed the door, bringing in a gust of cold air. He took off his coat and let off some cold air before walking into the living room to talk to his sister.
"Why are you wearing a suit and shirt today when you have a day off?"
Min Xi: "I had a meeting this morning. It just ended before you came."
Min Ting pushed the box to his study. He designed two study rooms in all his houses so that he and his sister could work separately.
Open the suitcase and take out the ticket book from it. When he was not on a business trip, he would lock it in the company safe and carry it with him when he was on a business trip.
When he was waiting at the airport yesterday, he called his sister and asked her what she was busy with. His sister said that on her way back from London, she went to see Fu Yanzhou and admitted it openly without hiding anything.
He turned to the most recently checked ticket, which was the 36th one.
I took out the plane ticket and added another line of notes on the blank space on the back.
"Brother." The voice came before Min Xi got close.
Min Ting quickly opened the drawer, stuffed the plane ticket and ticket book into the drawer, and picked up a scrapped document on the table and opened it.
Min Xi arrived at the door of the study, holding a cake in her hand. It was an exquisite layered white rose shape.
She thought it was ordered by her brother, "Why did you think of buying a cake for me?"
Min Ting looked confused: "I didn't buy it, who sent it to me?"
"Cake shop." Min Xi knew who placed the order. She had left a picture of a cake for Fu Yanzhou yesterday. He thought she wanted to eat cake, so he bought it for her today.
Carrying the cake, she turned back to the living room and called Fu Yanzhou. The phone rang for two seconds before she hung up for fear of disturbing him at work.
Send him a message instead: [Received the cake. 】
Fu Yanzhou called her back and asked her how the cake tasted.
“I haven’t eaten yet.”
Min Xi thought about it for a few seconds and decided to remind him that he misinterpreted her meaning, "I didn't ask you to buy a cake. Isn't there a line of words on it?"
At this time, Fu Yanzhou was at the desk. The note was next to the notebook. He took it and read it again. At the top, he wrote a line in pencil: A little tip~
He smiled and said, "I thought you were telling me to buy a cake." He asked her, "What was the hint?"
Min Xi had no principles towards him at all. When he asked, she didn't keep him in suspense: "The second truth you asked me yesterday, a little hint about the answer."
She had hinted clearly enough, and she wondered if he could make the connection.
It was a very special birthday party for her, but for him, it was just an ordinary one.
Fu Yanzhou: "Let me think about it again."
Min Xi didn't hang up the phone, waiting quietly for him to think.
"Xixi, was it the time when I asked you to make a wish on your birthday?" This was the only scene he could think of that was related to cake and could make her feel special.
After making a wish that day, she also said that she liked to make birthday wishes on other people's birthdays and take advantage of the birthday boy.
So after they got married, he would ask her if she wanted to make a wish every birthday.
"Rare?"
"I'm listening."
Her silence just now was not because of a bad signal, but because she acquiesced to his guess.
Fu Yanzhou asked her, "What wish did you make that day?"
Min Xi's ears felt hot when she thought of that day. She laughed embarrassedly, laughing at herself for being useless: "I didn't make the wish. My mind was a little confused at the time, and I didn't know what to wish for."
I couldn’t keep my eyes squinting, so I had to pretend to make a wish and then open my eyes to blow out the candles.
Fu Yanzhou: "Make it up now and wish for another one, and you will have a cake."
"No wish."
"Didn't we always make three or four wishes at a time before? Now there's none?"
She had so many wishes because he didn't love her at that time, and she needed to rely on wishes to satisfy some of her little thoughts, but she doesn't need that anymore.
After ending the call, Fu Yanzhou stared at the computer screen in a daze, his thoughts pulled back to the birthday party that summer. He only remembered a few scattered fragments. He had no idea what her expression was or what she said at the time.
How did she get through those long ten years?
The phone rang, and Min Xi sent a photo of the cake, and Fu Yanzhou came back to his senses.
He asked: [Xixi, please rank love and marriage proposal for me. 】
Min Xi: [The first one is in the first place, I hope it can last longer. 】
She asked him again: [What about you? Tell the truth. 】
He wanted to propose to her right now.
--
The next time Min Xi ate rose cake was on New Year's Day. The pastry chef was invited to the yacht and made a small and delicate white rose cake specifically for her.
It is almost midnight in China for the New Year's Eve, but it is afternoon here.
The yacht sailed into the deep sea and was not far from the island where they were partying that night. There is not much wind on the sea today and the sun is bright and dazzling.
Fu Yanzhou wore sunglasses and leaned against the deck railing, glancing up at the sky from time to time.
Zhou Yu brought two glasses of wine to find him on the deck, thinking that he was out to get some peace and quiet because there were too many people inside, so he handed him a glass of wine and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Fu Yanzhou took the goblet and said, "Look at the plane."
Zhou Yu laughed, treating it as a joke.
The sun was too bright, he leaned against the guardrail, and asked him if he would propose today, "What a romantic opportunity, don't waste it."
Fu Yanzhou sipped his wine and said, "No."
Chase her more and let her have no regrets.
Zhou Yu shrugged, not understanding.
"By the way, Min Xi was looking for you just now. I don't know what it is."
Fu Yanzhou went in and saw Min Xi chatting and laughing with a group of people. He sat down next to her and asked, "Looking for me?"
Min Xi leaned back and half leaned in his arms, "When do we start fishing?"
Fu Yanzhou: "Wait, it's too hot."
He had other plans.
Someone asked Fu Yanzhou: "Who designed the bracelet that Min Xi is wearing?" It was obviously a custom-made one, so he would avoid this designer in the future.
The semi-handmade diamond bracelet, already engraved with his name, returned to Min Xi's hand. The color of the dress she wore today did not match the bracelet, but she still chose it.
At this time, the other people sitting around also looked at him, intending to avoid the lightning.
Fu Yanzhou said calmly and seriously: "A new jewelry designer who just won a big award last year."
Yan Heyu happened to walk over and took a look at the bracelet: "Who gave the award? If someone of this level can be considered a rising star, then I must be considered a Hall of Fame winner, right?"
Fu Yanzhou: “…”
Glance at him.
Min Xi comforted him: "In my opinion, you are a top-notch designer."
What else is there that doesn’t understand? This fresh and refined bracelet was designed by Fu Yanzhou himself.
At this time, the person sitting by the window was puzzled: "Why is there a helicopter coming?"
Soon, the roar of helicopter propellers approached and everyone could hear it.
Fu Yanzhou looked at his watch and saw that it would be the Chinese New Year in five minutes.
He patted Min Xi's shoulder and said, "Go to the deck and take a look."
After everyone had gone out one after another, a helicopter hovered above the deck, making a deafening rumble.
Zhou Yu suddenly realized that Fu Yanzhou was actually looking at a plane, a helicopter.
There was a strong wind on the deck at this time, and Fu Yanzhou grabbed Min Xi's wrist tightly.
Min Xi's sunglasses were in the room. She put her hand in front of her forehead, looked up at the helicopter, and asked Fu Yanzhou loudly: "Do you have friends coming over?"
Fu Yanzhou whispered in her ear, "No."
"Delivering food?"
"no."
Min Xi was puzzled as to why the helicopter was hovering above. It couldn't be a performance.
Others, including Zhou Yu, didn't know whose helicopter it was or what kind of New Year surprise it would give.
Until a large bouquet of white roses was slowly sent down from the helicopter, everyone started to make a noise, because they all knew who loved to buy white roses the most.
Zhou Yu shouted to Fu Yanzhou: "How many?"
He actually guessed the number because he often gave them to his wife, and he asked this to let Min Xi know.
He felt that his voice was loud enough, but because the helicopter was above him, the volume was almost gone when it reached Fu Yanzhou.
At midnight on the Chinese New Year, five hundred and twenty white roses were dropped onto the deck. Several staff members who had been informed of the situation held the bouquets of roses and carried them to Min Xi.
Min Xi knew how many flowers there were without counting them. She had envied others in her circle of friends for receiving them, and now she had one too, at the same time, in the same place, and in the same way.
Fu Yanzhou said to her: "Happy New Year."
