He was getting engaged, and she would never allow it.
It was already daybreak, and Yue Lanxiu fell into a deep sleep under the orders and supervision of Chao Rirou, and did not wake up until it was dark again.
"Is this the hairpin he mentioned before he died?" Yue Lanxiu sat on the bed, staring at the hairpin in his hand. This hairpin was really ordinary!
"After a thorough search, we only found this hairpin! I didn't expect that he really collected a hairpin." This was found by Asahirou in a small gold box in the cabinet beside the bed in Mu Sanlang's bedroom.
"This hairpin is neither made of gold, jade, nor has diamonds on it. It is not valuable at all. Yet Mu Sanlang places so much importance on it that he places it in a golden box. This shows that the owner of this hairpin is very important to him! The owner of this hairpin must be his lover!" Yue Lanxiu speculated.
"Hmph! You're obviously a scum who changes women like clothes, how can you call you a lovesick man just because of a hairpin!" Asahirou didn't disagree with Yue Lanxiu's words, but Mu Sanlang had indeed slept with many women in Japan over the years.
"You don't understand men! Some men can separate their heart and body. They love one person in their heart, but they may not be able to get the love they want! So when he has physical needs, he will look for other women. The reason why he changes one after another is because he doesn't love them at all. They are just tools for him to vent his desires!" Yue Lanxiu's long speech was silenced by Zhao Rirou's contemptuous eyes.
Chao Rirou sneered and said, "It's obvious that he couldn't resist the temptation of the beauty of a new woman, but he insisted on saying that it was to satisfy his physical needs! It's obvious that he can't even control his lower body, and yet he still talks about love! Do you love someone by only giving her the upper body, and letting her share the lower body with other women? If my man also likes to talk about the upper and lower body separately, I will definitely lend him a hand!" After saying that, she made a decisive gesture.
Yue Lanxiu shuddered unconsciously, coughed dryly, and said, "Uh, you should save these words for Jing!"
It would have been fine if she didn't mention it, but as soon as Yue Lanjing was mentioned, Chao Rirou became depressed.
According to the latest report from his friend Xiaoying, Yue Lanjing should have known about her disappearance, but he went on a date with Li Shuqing for dinner as usual, chatting and laughing! From beginning to end, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him!
That would have been fine, but there was even news that he and Li Shuqing were about to get engaged!
Asahirou clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh. Did that bastard really not care about her anymore? Was she really just being sentimental? That bastard really had no attachment to her at all!
At Yue Lan's house, Yue Lanjing, who was having dinner, sneezed twice in a row. Who was scolding him behind his back?
"Did you catch a cold?" asked mother Xu Jinglin with concern.
"How can a tall and strong man be as fragile as you think!" Yue Lanhui teased.
Xu Jinglin glared at him and said, "You all only care about working and don't know how to rest properly or take good care of yourselves. How can I not be worried?"
"I'm fine, Mom, don't worry!" Yue Lanjing put down the dishes and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Seeing him about to get up, Xu Jinglin frowned and said, "You're full after eating just a little bit, and then you rush into the office again? You've been like this recently. No matter how busy you are at work, you have to take care of your health! Look at this shirt on you, you've been wearing it for several days. What kind of work are you so busy with that you don't even have time to change clothes?" This was the first time she saw her son in such a state.
Faced with her mother's nagging, Yue Lanjing let out a sigh and looked at her father for help.
Yue Lanhui smiled and said, "All mothers in the world are the same. No matter how old their children are, they still treat them like children! I'm telling you, if your child doesn't work, you worry that he's not doing his job properly, and if your child is focused on his work, you complain about it here and there. But Jing, your mother is right. No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health."
"I know, I'm fine!" Yue Lanjing really didn't want to tell them this now.
"That's good to know. Your health comes first, but there's one more thing that's also very important!"
Yue Lanjing raised his eyebrows slightly. He had guessed it before she even said it.
"That's your marriage!"
Sure enough, Yue Lanjing felt a slight pain in her solar plexus.
"When do you and Shu Qing plan to get married?"
Yue Lan was silent for a while before saying, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Xu Jinglin thought he had not decided when to marry Li Shuqing.
But Yue Lanjing hadn't decided whether or not to marry her. Rationally, he felt the sooner the better, in order to gain control of the Li family's equity and to sever certain inappropriate emotions. Emotionally, he didn't want to marry her at all; he was afraid of seeing someone's eyes signaling a breakup.
He knew that his emotions were taking over his entire brain.
"Since you don't have time to think about it, let me help you think about it! I know you have been very busy recently, and I don't want you to get married right away. How about getting engaged first? This weekend, I have seen that it is a great day!" Xu Jinglin looked like he had planned it long ago.
Yue Lanjing remained silent. He knew she had already made up her mind and was simply announcing it. She wouldn't allow anyone else to say no.
"This weekend? Isn't that too soon?" Yue Lanhui felt something was amiss. "I heard Naier's whereabouts are unknown, and Tianhan and Huanhuan are going crazy with worry. And you're getting Jing and Shuqing engaged at this critical juncture. Isn't that just adding to their frustrations?"
Yue Lanjing stared at the plate of shrimps on the table, his mind wandering far away. He would never forget the woman who asked him to peel shrimps for her to eat. He would probably think of her when he saw the shrimps!
He had to admit that he couldn't let her go, especially when he heard that she was missing.
He might be able to deceive others, but he couldn't deceive himself. During the days when he had no news from her, his mind was already drawn to her.
"That girl must be in a bad mood because of a breakup, so she went out alone to relax! What could happen? But she didn't even tell her parents, she is so ignorant!" When Chanel was mentioned, the smile on Xu Jinglin's face disappeared for the most part, "I think that girl might have done it on purpose, disappearing on purpose to make people worry, feel guilty, and unable to feel at ease!" She shifted her gaze to her son, "Don't fall into her trap!" When it comes to Chanel's faults, she can also say a lot, in short, she is extremely dissatisfied with her.
She just wanted to take advantage of the girl's absence to get Jing and Shu Qing engaged, to prevent the girl from sabotaging it!
Yue Lanjing felt that she had been tricked by Chanel!
But he was also really worried about her, after all, he knew someone wanted to kill her!
He has been looking for her, but can't find her. His elite subordinates all become useless when they meet her!
Where is she? How can he find her?
"How can you talk like that? We watched Naier grow up, and her father Tianhan has been our friend for decades! Jing wants to break up with Naier, and I don't have the face to face him anymore!" Yue Lanhui accused with a serious face.
"She was the one who wanted to break up with Jing first. Why is she trying to interfere now that Jing is with Shu Qing?" This is the main reason why Xu Jinglin hates Chanel.
"Have you asked Brother Ao?" Brother Ao was Li Shuqing's father. Yue Lanhui couldn't stand her tendency to make decisions on her own.
"Of course there's no problem with the Li family!" Privately, Xu Jinglin and Li Shuqing had already been planning their engagement.
"It's your turn to express your opinion. Do you want to be the groom?" Yue Lanhui looked at Yue Lanjing, who had a serious expression on her face. He was as shrewd as a fox, so how could he not see that his son had little interest in Li Shuqing?
In fact, whether it was Chanel or Li Shuqing, he had no objection to marrying anyone! He just didn't want Jing to be so indecisive and jump back and forth between the two women. If this destroyed the long-standing friendship between the major families, that was definitely not what he wanted to see!
"If my son doesn't want to be the groom, why is he dating Li Shuqing? It's decided. The engagement party will be held this Sunday!"
Yue Lanhui glanced at Xu Jinglin. She was extremely annoyed with her domineering and selfish personality!
"I'm going upstairs." Yue Lanjing didn't express her opinion, but she didn't refuse either.
Xu Jinglin thought he agreed.
But Yue Lanhui always felt that it was not that simple! He knew his son very well and he was definitely not someone who could be manipulated by others!
A few days later, in the waiting room of a flight from Japan to London, "Your injuries haven't recovered yet. Why don't you rest for a few more days before coming back? It's very tiring to take a long flight!" Chao Rirou really cared about Yue Lanxiu. The title of savior had always stood tall in her heart.
In fact, it was the first time she cared about someone so much, from the bottom of her heart.
"Because I have something important to do." Yue Lanxiu closed his eyes and said. He stole a glance at her. This girl clearly wanted to go back to London too, after learning that Jing and Li Shuqing would hold an engagement party this Sunday.
She must have wanted to be with Jing very much, but her cold and arrogant personality hindered her.
"What's so important that makes you rush back?" When she was with him, Asarirou had already broken the principle of not asking about other people's affairs.
"Aren't you in a hurry to go back?" Yue Lanxiu asked with a pair of wise eyes.
Knowing what he was about to say, Chao Rirou's face suddenly turned sour. "What are we going back for?" Attend Yue Lanjing and Li Shuqing's engagement party? Bless them? Show off her generosity? Get lost! She would never give her precious time and feelings to that stinky man again! Since he wanted to break up with her in this way, why should she continue to foolishly cling to him! Since he was so heartless, she would also take back all her feelings! Since he no longer took her seriously, she would quickly forget him...
Yue Lanxiu felt like smoke was about to come out of her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a doting arc.
A woman who says one thing and means another!
Because you care too much, that's why you are so angry!
Because he was so angry, his heart and stomach were full of rage, so he ignored his original intention - she should love quietness!
Instead of feeling sad and lost when you discover this fact in the end, it is better to make a final effort now, at least you will not regret it!
And Jing doesn't have no feelings for her, does he?
He decided to be a matchmaker.
After getting off the plane, there was a special car waiting for them. After getting in the car, Asahiro fell asleep soon after.
Yue Lanxiu raised the corners of her lips, which was exactly what he wanted.
When Asahiro woke up, it was already dark outside.
"Where is the driver? Why are you driving?" Chao Rirou asked curiously as she looked at Yue Lanxiu who had sat in the driver's seat at some point.
"Where is this?" Zhao Rirou frowned. This was not the way home.
Seeing that he remained silent, Chao Rirou sensed something strange and asked, "Why don't you answer? What the hell are you doing?!"
"Driving! You have to focus on what's ahead while driving and you can't talk!" he said confidently.
"I don't trust you, where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when you get there. Oh, are you still worried that I'll sell you out?"
"What are you thinking about? Do you think I don't know?" Asahiro sneered.
"Okay, okay, okay! You're awesome! The worms in my stomach are all your spies!"
If he wasn't driving, Asahirou really wanted to beat him up, "Why don't you turn the car around and go home!"
"We're here!" Yue Lanxiu smiled triumphantly.
Chao Rirou was startled. Turning around, she saw a magnificent palace-like hotel before her. It was obvious that this was the hotel where Yue Lanjing was getting engaged! Was he in there too? Chao Rirou suppressed her urge to see him. "Go back! Don't think I won't touch you just because you're injured!"
"I think there might be some misunderstanding between you two. You clearly care about him a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have lost your appetite since you heard he was getting engaged! As for Jing, from what I've seen, he's not without feelings for you. When we had dinner together a while ago, he smiled whenever he mentioned you. It was an involuntary smile, a smile that only comes from genuine love! I don't know when it started, but his eyes light up whenever he sees you, and they've been glued to you ever since you appeared!"
"You also think he likes me, right?" Hearing his words, Zhao Rirou's depressed chest suddenly felt relieved. "To be honest, I think so too, but why did he still want to get engaged to Li Shuqing?"
"You'll have to ask him personally. Tonight is your last chance, I hope you seize it! The Chanel I know sees an opportunity like a dog seeing a bone, and he won't let it slip away!"
"Don't you have a better metaphor?" Chao Rirou looked at him sideways with an unhappy expression.
"Ah? Uh, it's like a fly seeing a cracked egg!" Before she could explode, he quickly opened the car door for her, "Hurry up and get out of the car. It's too late. The ceremony is over..."
"Shut up!" Chao Rirou interrupted and got out of the car.
She ran a few steps and suddenly stopped, looked back at him and said two words, "Thank you!" He gave her the courage and motivation to get Yue Lanjing back!
It also allowed her to see clearly her own heart and she had no intention of letting go!
She quickly ran towards the hotel entrance! Looking at the receding figure, Yue Lanxiu suddenly felt a discomfort in his chest. He thought it was because the gunshot wound in his chest had not fully recovered, so he still felt pain. He wanted to go home and have a good sleep!
She was wearing a long skirt today and had to hold it up as she ran to the hotel entrance angrily. She would never allow any other woman to get involved with the man she liked! If he dared to get engaged to another woman, she would knock him out and kidnap him!
Suddenly, she heard a car horn. She frowned and looked over. She saw the man she had been thinking about sitting in a car not far away, smiling at her. She stopped immediately.
That smile seemed to be laughing at her foolishness. If expressed in words, it was as if saying, "Do you care about me that much? Are you so anxious to stop me from getting engaged?"
The car drove towards her, and she subconsciously walked over. The car stopped beside her, the passenger door opened, and the person inside said very gently, "Get in."
Although she was confused, Asahirou was happy to sit in first.
"Where do you want to go?" He had a faint smile on his face and looked in a good mood.
Yes, today is his engagement day, how could he be in a bad mood? Asahirou's tone couldn't help but become more sarcastic, "Why are you going to accompany me wherever I'm going?"
At this moment, the two saw Li Shuqing, surrounded by a group of people, approaching from afar and finally entering the hotel. She was chatting and laughing with the people around her and didn't notice them at all.
"Your fiancée looks very beautiful today. Are you willing to leave her?" Chao Rirou continued.
"She's not that pretty. The woman I just saw was much prettier than her!" Yue Lanjing returned her gaze to her and said without blinking.
Asahiro turned towards him, a hint of anger already on her face.
Yue Lanjing's smile deepened as she continued, "Especially when she runs with her skirt lifted up, she's absolutely gorgeous!"
Asahiro's face was stunned for a moment, and when she slowly realized that the person he was talking about was herself, she couldn't help but bite her lips tightly, for fear that she would laugh.
"But I also realized that wasn't her most beautiful look. The most beautiful moment was when she wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back!"
With a chuckle, Asahirou couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. How could she hold back a smile that came from the bottom of her heart?
The two looked at each other and saw unreserved affection in each other's eyes.
Yue Lanjing didn't intend to suppress his feelings for her any longer. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. He felt his empty heart being filled. He didn't like living without her. He surrendered!
As he extended his hand, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms. Smelling his breath, listening to his heartbeat, the depression in her heart quickly disappeared!
Happiness came so unexpectedly that she wondered if she was dreaming.
"Ah!" Yue Lanjing suddenly cried out. Why did this woman pinch his thigh for no reason?
The woman in his arms raised her face and smiled sweetly, "It seems I'm not dreaming."
Looking at the face that had made him so worried, he couldn't get angry at all! Feeling the woman he had lost and found in his arms, he couldn't bear to get angry either! Besides, he had always liked her quirky nature!
He placed a passionate kiss on her forehead and then hugged her tightly, thanking her for being willing to come back to him.
Asahirou was completely immersed in his tenderness. They were finally together! She would definitely cherish this man and this relationship!
The car started and drove away from the hotel.
"What will happen to the engagement party if you just leave like that?" Asarirou thought, since he didn't plan to get engaged, why bother holding an engagement party.
"I never agreed to get engaged. It was my mother and Li Shuqing who liked to make decisions on their own!" He allowed them to hold this engagement party just to lure out the woman next to him!
If she cared about him, she would have shown up on her own. She certainly didn't disappoint him!
"Your new haircut looks great!"
"How dare you say that!"
There was a sweet atmosphere in the carriage.
