Chapter 84 Hmm.
After a brief greeting.
A subtle stagnation appeared between the three of them.
Lin Huaiyan was the first to look away.
He stood up and walked towards a familiar friend not far away, raising his glass.
Soon I was immersed in the sound of conversation and laughter.
The atmosphere of the party became increasingly lively.
Mingzhu took Jiang Zhi's hand and lowered her head to drink a sip of warm water.
Mingzhu didn't even touch the food prepared by Yunque.
Jiang Zhi lowered his head and asked her softly, "Miss, is there anything you want to eat?"
Mingzhu nodded gently: "I want to eat a small cake."
Jiang Zhi didn't bring any homemade desserts today.
But this is what Mingzhu meant.
She thought that this was the first time Jiang Zhi appeared in front of her friend.
Even if Jiang Zhi didn't care.
Mingzhu also hopes that he can be treated equally.
Rather than being seen as a servant.
But now she realized that she had overestimated her adaptability.
She was already too accustomed to Jiang Zhi's craftsmanship.
I clearly thought that what Yunque prepared was good before.
Now it doesn’t even suit my appetite.
The guests who can come to the top floor are either rich or noble.
The meals are prepared on site by the chef and are extremely exquisite.
"Miss, wait a moment."
After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the open kitchen not far away.
He exchanged a few words with the chef.
The chef first showed a surprised expression.
Then an operating table was quickly cleared for Jiang Zhi.
He also offered me a clean apron.
Jiang Zhi took off his suit jacket and casually put it on the high chair beside him.
He rolled up his shirt sleeves to the joints and bent his head to tie his apron.
The belt was tied at the back of his waist, outlining his slender waist.
The noise in the greenhouse gradually died down.
Jiang Zhi standing in front of the operating table was really outstanding.
The attention of everyone present was drawn to it.
That beautiful and striking face.
It should be an exquisite doll that is only displayed in a high-end window.
But now, the cold temperament in him has been diluted by the worldly air.
Instead, it reveals a warm feeling that is suitable for home.
"Miss, where on earth did you find such a top-notch product?"
While Jiang Zhi was away, someone leaned over to Mingzhu and asked in a low voice, "Are you still so... devoted?"
Under normal circumstances, they might not ask so directly.
But after a few drinks, I got used to the hypocrisy.
Suddenly I came across such a firm feeling.
It is inevitable to feel a little curious, even envious.
Another friend nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it makes me want to have a serious relationship."
They know too well that money and power can easily buy obedience and flattery.
That’s why I understand even more clearly that some things cannot be bought.
Jiang Zhi was standing a little far away, and the sound of music was blocking his view.
In fact, it is not easy to notice the movements on Mingzhu's side.
But he seemed to sense it and looked up.
He met Mingzhu's smiling eyes.
Jiang Zhi's eyes softened and a smile appeared on his lips.
The coldness and indifference when I was alone just now.
It disappeared in an instant.
"It's a secret." Mingzhu turned her head, raised her chin slightly, and showed a proud smile.
Several people immediately let out a wail.
"Miss, why are you so stingy?"
“This dog food is really filling!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Outside the greenhouse is the dazzling prosperity of Shanghai and endless lights.
Inside the greenhouse, Lin Huaiyan stood alone in the darkness where light and shadow intersected.
He drank the last sip of wine in silence.
The usual gentle smile on his face finally faded away.
Only a faint sense of fatigue and loneliness remains.
For some things, perhaps he had already lost the qualifications.
wrong.
Lin Huaiyan gave a wry smile.
Mingzhu has always been straightforward and decisive in what she says.
No matter how good friends they are.
If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. If you don’t have any feelings, you don’t have any feelings.
It seems like he...never really had that qualification.
As the party came to an end, the voices gradually faded and everyone began to say goodbye to each other.
"Huaiyan, let's go! See you next time!" Mingzhu waved at him with a smile.
Lin Huaiyan looked over, his eyes passing over the bright smile on Mingzhu's face.
Then he met Jiang Zhi's calm gaze.
The two men's eyes met briefly again.
Lin Huaiyan was the first to look away again.
"Okay, be careful on the road." He responded gently.
A black car was driving in the night.
Outside the window is the glittering city street scene with neon lights everywhere.
Mingzhu leaned lazily in Jiang Zhi's arms.
She played with his bony fingers from time to time.
These days she is under the careful care she arranged.
The calluses on Jiang Zhi's hands also faded a little, and his skin became much whiter.
The car was very quiet, with only the slight sound of air from the air conditioner.
Mingzhu suddenly asked: "Jiang Zhi, are you happy today?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhi responded softly, lowering his head and gently rubbing the top of her head with his chin.
Jiang Zhi paused again, as if considering his words, and after a while he spoke in a low voice: "Miss, were you happy before?"
Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
She couldn't help but chuckle, and raised her face to meet his lowered gaze: "Jiang Zhi, are you jealous?"
Jiang Zhihui held her hand and put her palm against his face.
He tilted his head and rubbed her soft palm in dependence.
A hint of disappointment flashed across his dark pupils, but more of it was seriousness.
"No, miss." He explained in a low voice, but his ears were quietly red.
Mingzhu is such a good person, it's normal for someone to like her.
He only hoped that Mingzhu could always stand in the center of the crowd, shining brightly.
It would be best if everyone loved her.
Jiang Zhi didn't know what he was thinking about. He tightened his arms around Mingzhu and buried his face in her neck.
The warm breath fell on the skin on her neck, causing a slight tingling sensation.
"I just...can't take care of the lady from the past." The voice coming from the side of his neck was muffled.
What he cared about was Mingzhu's long past, in which he had no part but which really existed.
Care about the years without him.
Mingzhu has never had even the slightest bit of unhappiness.
Although he also understood.
Even without him.
Grandpa Ming, Uncle Zhou and many others will definitely take good care of Mingzhu.
But he still felt that, apart from Mr. Ming and Uncle Zhou.
There is no one who can take care of Mingzhu wholeheartedly anymore.
If only he were here.
Hearing this, Mingzhu's heart softened.
She leaned forward and kissed the corner of Jiang Zhi's lips: "But now and in the future, you can take care of me, Jiang Zhi."
Jiang Zhi's eyes lit up when he received such a gentle response.
He stared at Mingzhu's profile, as if digesting this great peace of mind and joy.
After a while.
Jiang Zhicai uttered a very soft sigh of satisfaction:
"...Um."
