give me years of peace

Chapter 157
"I'm not allowed." Xin Zimo refused again.

Du Anran had no choice but to remain silent.

In the middle of the reception, someone invited Du Anran to dance. Du Anran didn't want to stay with Xin Zimo for a long time, and was always restrained.She readily agreed, and went dancing with the handsome blue-eyed Englishman.

Xin Zimo was in a hurry. He wanted to dance with her just now, but she pushed her back. Now when he meets a handsome guy from abroad, he looks like he doesn't want to leave.

He had to sit on the sidelines and drink, and during the period, several beautiful women came to Xin Zimo to dance, but he refused them all.

Du Anran stayed away from Xin Zimo, just like a fish in a dry rut met Gan Lin, and suddenly restored his smiling face.

This handsome British guy is not only handsome and chic, but also tells a few jokes from time to time, making Du Anran laugh heartily.He also liked Du Anran quite a lot, and kept praising Du Anran for his beauty and temperament.

This kind of man and Xin Zimo are in two worlds, and there is a world of difference.But this thought just flashed in her mind, because Du Anran found a serious problem, why she couldn't help but think of Xin Zimo...

Fortunately, the handsome guy is cheerful by nature, he didn't realize the subtle changes on Du Anran's face.He went on talking non-stop, from British gossip, big and small, to many interesting recent international events.

When he saw the diamond ring on Du Anran's hand, he showed a surprised expression: "Ohmygod!"

Du Anran quickly hid his hands behind his back, but the handsome guy still saw it.He is well-informed and is no stranger to this diamond ring. He talked endlessly about the auction process of this diamond ring, and he also said that the final transaction price surprised everyone.

Only then did Du Anran realize how rare this diamond ring was, she remained silent.

But just as the handsome British guy was talking non-stop, Xin Zimo finally couldn't bear his temper and walked over.

He grabbed Du Anran's hand: "Come dance with me!"

"I don't want to dance with you!"

"Dancing with handsome guys addicted? Huh?"

"I'm tired, I don't want to dance anymore." Du Anran could only find excuses one by one.

"Don't hang your face, there are reporters watching." Xin Zimo whispered in her ear.

Du Anran could only pull out an ugly smile: "When will it end?"

"Dance with me until the end of time." Xin Zimo took her hand and walked towards the stage involuntarily.

"Hey, you hurt my wrist again!" Du Anran had no choice but to dance with Xin Zimo.

During the whole dancing process, Xin Zimo's movements were extremely ambiguous, sometimes talking in Du Anran's ear, and sometimes kissing her forehead lightly when she lowered her head.

Of course, the reporters present would not let go of these wonderful gossips, especially the domestic reporters. They got important news in China that Xin Zimo was seriously injured, but looking at it now, it was purely false.

The party went on until after eight o'clock in the evening. After dancing, Xin Zimo and Du Anran went to drink with the guests.Du Anran saw that he not only drank all his portion today, but also blocked all the wine that belonged to her, and now she saw that his face was obviously drunk.

She persuaded him for the sake of blocking her from drinking: "Drink less, your injury is still not healed."

"It's okay, it's almost over..." He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, his body was really hot and uncomfortable at the moment.

"Let me help you to rest! Although you can drink well, you can't help drinking like this."

"I'm very happy today...you can come here with me..." Xin Zimo was drunk, holding a wine glass in one hand, brushing away the broken hair on Du Anran's forehead with the other.

His eyes were full of tender affection, his hand slid across her face, and took her hand again, half drunk: "An Ran, I really want to hold my hand, so I will grow old like this."

"People who are only in their twenties are talking about dying." Du Anran was silent for a moment, then smiled.

Xin Zimo also bent his lips and smiled, but he still refused to let go while holding her hand.

"I'll take you to sober up, and when Uncle Chen sees you when you go out, he's going to nag again." Du Anran thought that Xin Zimo was drunk, and wanted to take him out of the venue.

Xin Zimo did not refute, and followed Du Anran to leave the center of the extremely lively venue.There was a sudden silence in the ears. Xin Zimo was probably too tired. When he saw a swing on the grass, he sat on it.

"It's cold outside, follow me to the room to rest." Du Anran wanted to pull him away, but Xin Zimo had already sat on the swing, unwilling to let go.

Du Anran had no choice but to sit on the adjacent swing and accompany him.

Xin Zimo held her hand and refused to let go, Du Anran couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled.

The stars in the sky are shining brightly, and the insects in the withered grass are singing softly.A drop of dew rolled on the blade of grass, turned over, and rolled back into the ground.

The world was very quiet, as if everything at that reception had nothing to do with them.

Xin Zimo held onto Du Anran's hand, muttering to himself at first, but soon fell into a deep sleep.

Du Anran knew that he must be very tired today, not to mention that he was still injured, even if he was as lively as her, a day of tossing would be enough.

Although she missed the taste of fine wine, she was still glad that he was able to block all the wine for her today, otherwise she would have to vomit again right now.

Xin Zimo leaned against Du Anran's body while sleeping, and buried himself in Du Anran's arms after a while.

Du Anran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this was the first time she saw Xin Zimo clinging to her like this, she used to sleep in his arms when she was so drunk that she passed out!

She didn't want to disturb Xin Zimo, but it was really too cold outside, so she had to help him walk out the back door.

Uncle Chen had been waiting outside a long time ago, seeing Du Anran helping Xin Zimo come over, he hurried over to help.

After getting into the car, Xin Zimo was still resting on Du Anran's lap, and he kept muttering to himself: "Anran, don't be angry... I held a thank-you meeting to refute Xin's rumors...bring you here... Can we get back together..."

In fact, she heard the whispers of those reporters today. Didn't she just want to refute Xin's rumors and prove that she is still alive and well, can drink, take women, and dance? She has nothing to blame him for.Although this is a disguised use.

"Sleep well!" Du Anran didn't answer what he said in his drunken dream, but only said softly.

Her hands involuntarily covered his face. In his sleep, he was always so tender and affectionate, without the usual indifference, harshness, and fickleness. Even his eyelashes fluttered slightly, which was extremely gentle.

"Miss Du, I'm taking Mr. Xin to the hospital, do you want to go with me?" said Uncle Chen who was driving.

"Let me go, he's drunk."

She didn't know why she was always soft-hearted. When he was nice to her, she seemed to forget all the pain in the past.

Does she have a short memory or no backbone, but do you need these in love?

Uncle Chen turned a corner and drove towards the hospital.

The next day, as expected, domestic newspapers published photos of Xin Zimo's cocktail party in large pages. In the photos, besides Xin Zimo, Du Anran was the one who appeared the most.

All these surprised many people in the country. Firstly, Xin Zimo was fine and nothing happened. Secondly, Xin Zimo was still walking with Du Anran.

The two heavy news immediately added countless topics of conversation in the streets and alleys, especially for some ladies in wealthy circles who have nothing to do, they inevitably talked about it while drinking coffee.

Most of the wives and ladies in the circle knew Du Anran and Xin Zimo, and had been in contact with them, and the discussions were almost endless.

Some people said that Du Anran was still looking like a down-and-out lady when Chi Xue's store opened some time ago, but now she has turned into a phoenix again.

Some people say that Du Anran is facing Qin Muchu, but he has a way of hooking up with the diamond king and the fifth, he is the mayor's son for a while, and the president of the Xin Group for a while.

Some people also said that Xin Zimo wanted Du Anran, who had no family, no status, and no future, despite the countless women in City A. He really couldn't figure out the taste of men.

When Xin's mother heard the news, she was so angry that she wished she could fly to London to arrest Xin Zimo.She called Chi Xue first, but she didn't expect Chi Xue to know about Du Anran being by Xin Zimo's side. Xin's mother inevitably scolded Chi Xue for being useless, and couldn't even look down on men.

Chi Xue hung up the phone aggrieved, and wept quietly by herself.

However, there was only one person in City A who looked at the newspaper reports flying all over the sky with deep eyes. He sat in the office of the executive director of Xie Bank, and let go of the folded newspapers, and then folded them again.Just doing meaningless things like this repeatedly, he finally looked down at the photos and clenched his fists.

When Xie Chenjin called Du Anran, Du Anran had already returned to the villa. After Bai Ruyun came for a few days, she was in a hurry to go back. No matter how much Du Anran persuaded her not to stay.

Before leaving, Bai Ruyun also saw the report of the reception that day, but she just put away the newspaper and didn't mention a single thing in front of Du Anran.

The Du Anran in the newspaper was very beautiful, there were a few moments of smiling, Bai Ruyun seemed to see the Du Anran in the past again, she hadn't had such a smile for a long time.

Du Anran sent Bai Ruyun to the airport all the way. Before leaving, she was still reluctant to leave, which made Bai Ruyun, who was used to being calm, smiled and said: "You are not staying in London forever, won't you be back in a few days? Those children I look forward to seeing you to see them!"

Du Anran wiped away tears and said with a smile: "Mom, take good care of yourself when you go back, and tell those children that I will visit them as soon as I return to China."

Only then did Bai Ruyun wrap his arms around Du Anran's shoulders to say goodbye to her. When boarding the plane, Bai Ruyun was still graceful and elegant, with that quiet smile on his face, which made Du Anran feel very at ease.

Du Anran, who had just returned to the villa to change her shoes, received a call from Xie Chenjin. She was quite surprised. Xie Chenjin didn't take the initiative to call her during this time. She thought he was busy all the time.

"Du Anran, how much do you want to get back what belongs to you?" Xie Chenjin cut to the point, and Du Anran trembled with his harsh tone.

Xie Chenjin would never speak to Du Anran in this tone. In Du Anran's eyes, Xie Chenjin is also a very elegant gentleman, although like Xin Zimo, he is dressed like a beast.
