pampered and married

Ji Rulan's pupils tightened when she thought the conversation was over, but later realized that Liu Mian hadn't finished talking.

Liu Mian stopped drinking tea, and her pair of watery eyes slowly settled on the gift from Xie Baichen.

Ji Rulan was smart and transparent, and immediately felt like a mirror: "You want me to give up the strange stone?"

Liu Mian pursed her lips and smiled, poured out the herbal tea in Ji Rulan's cup, and refilled the hot one: "Dr. Brother is bedridden, Danqing has a disturbed conscience, complete happiness is impossible; if Danqing is not happy, Baichen will not be happy either, whether the person you care about can have a happy ending is all up to you."

"Miss Liu, you..."

"Mr. Ji, think about it for yourself. With Bai Chen's power and connections, it's more than enough to bully you, a girl. If he didn't tell you that the three strange stones had been found, or that he admitted that the gems were in his hands, he would just If you don’t pay back, what can you do to him? However, he still came here with sincerity and told you the truth. Isn’t it because he regards you as a friend, Mr. Ji, and hopes to get your respect and frankness? Do you understand and gift?"

The struggle in Ji Rulan's eyes was even worse, and her ten fingers were deeply dug into her palm.

What Liu Mian said was right, if Xie Baichen wanted to take advantage of her by chance, Xie Baichen would not need to waste his time talking with her. He came here at night only because behind his domineering style, he maintained a thoughtfulness and kindness.

And what made her heart flutter, and she didn't feel deeply trapped, wasn't it this kindness and consideration?
"If you insist, I believe that Baichen and Danqing will still return the strange stone to you, but what about after that? You guard the ineffective stone to remember the dead father, but another living person wants to sleep on the bed. Sleeping for a whole life, Bai Chen and Danqing were cut off from the strange stone, they would seek medical treatment everywhere like headless chickens, at a loss what to do, are these what you call blessings?"

Liu Mian's tone of voice was gentle and gentle from the beginning to the end, but Ji Rulan heard it, but it pierced her heart like a sharp thorn.The already fair face was even more transparent at this time, and the slender fingers were already trembling.

She kept saying that she liked and fulfilled, but when it was her turn to take a step back, she refused. Is she such a selfish person?
Ji Rulan shook her head, her eyes felt faintly hot.

She is not that kind of narrow-minded person, she really hopes that Mr. Xie and Ms. Yan will be happy.She knew that he loved that woman. When he looked at her, his eyes were like stars. He was so good, and he deserved the most perfect love.

Although Ji Rulan bit her lip and didn't say anything, she was as keen as Liu Mian, and she could see that she had been shaken.

"Mr. Ji, it's getting late, go back to your room and rest." Liu Mian took Ji Rulan's hand, "No matter what you decide in the end, no one will blame you, and I hope that what I said tonight will not let you It's too uncomfortable."

It wasn't until Ji Rulan's back disappeared at the stairs that Liu Mian leaned against the counter in front of the closet and took a deep breath.

The moonlight in front of the window illuminates her delicate eyebrows and eyes, as well as the slightly frowning eyebrows.

"Give."

A deep and gentle voice sounded above his head, and at the same time, a red strawberry candy wrapped in paper appeared in front of his eyes.

Liu Mian raised her head, the man's smile was shallow but gentle.

She blinked, and let Liu Changting feed the candy into her slightly bitter mouth.

It was so sweet, as if the limbs were all greasy by candy at that moment.

"Don't be in a bad mood, huh?"

"No way." Liu Mian said stiffly.

Liu Changting didn't refute, just looked at her as calmly as water.

Liu Mian was defeated, and tilted his head on Liu Changting's generous shoulder: "I think I... just like green tea."

"Well, it's all Xie Baichen's fault."

Liu Mian laughed, "Why are you blaming him?"

"Isn't it all because of him that you said many things that you usually disdain to Teacher Ji?"

Liu Mian narrowed her eyes slightly, and scratched the blue blood vessels on the man's neck with her thin fingers like kitten's paws: "Brother's tone smells like green plums in midsummer."

Liu Changting hummed softly, ignoring her sarcasm.

"But, if one day..." Liu Mian leaned against Liu Changting, Mochizuki sighed, "If one day, at the critical moment of life and death, someone has to face the difficulties, will you let Bai Chen take that risk?"

Liu Changting was silent, his brows were full of determination.

If there is a day, he will ask Xie Baichen to take care of Mian'er to the end.

Liu Changting remained silent, and Liu Mian naturally knew what the answer was.

As subordinates, their duty is to solve problems for their masters. Besides, for their siblings, Bai Chen is not only a relationship between employing and being employed, but also transcending the barrier of blood, even sacrificing himself for the other party. .

"Oh, it's so annoying." Liu Mian couldn't stand the inexplicable sadness he created, "It's all Xie Baichen's fault."

Liu Changting raised his eyebrows.

"Why isn't he married yet? If he's married, we don't care about him."

Liu Changting's thin lips hooked lightly, and the shallow gentleness walked through the indifferent eyes.

"Are you resigning together?" He asked, with a warm invitation in his rising voice, "When Xie Baichen's wish is fulfilled, do you want to follow me and submit your resignation letter together?"

Without hesitation, Liu Mian sowed the seeds of abandoning her boss into her heart: "Okay, after resigning, we will hide in a big valley with no Internet and no mobile phone signal. Even if Baichen has difficulties someday, we won't see him." , can't hear you."

Liu Changting smiled slightly: "This dream is so sweet."

sweet?
Liu Mian licked the strawberry candy that was about to melt in her mouth, and while the man was not paying attention, deftly pushed the last bit of candy into his thin lips with the tip of her tongue.

Sugar melts quickly.

On the slightly cool lips, there remained her fleeting warmth, as well as the faint strawberry fragrance.

"Is it sweet?" Liu Mian tugged at Liu Changting's sleeve and blinked coquettishly.

Liu Changting brushed the last trace of stickiness on the peak of his lips with his thumb, and his eyelids slightly retracted: "It's too sweet."

It was so sweet that he suddenly remembered that autumn in the orphanage when he was a child. He thought that Xie Baichen was going to take Liu Mian away alone, so he pulled her to a corner full of apprehension, and secretly gave her a hard-won orange candy.

This kind of sugar was imported, and for them at that time, it was a luxury.

"Don't go with Xie Baichen, this candy is for you to eat."

The boy blushed, carefully peeled off the package, and handed the shiny candy to the girl.

Xiao Liumian took it, and the corners of her eyes and brows narrowed happily.

"Well, I won't leave, I just eat... my brother's candy."

In the memory, the boy's youthful and pure expression of satisfaction overlapped with his real self.

Liu Changting's eyes were deep, and his eyes fell on Liu Mian's hair without looking back for a long time.

Cotton,

Our dreams, and our future,

will always be like this,
sweet forever.
