"Man Xuan and I have arrived. How long will it take you?"

"Oh, our work is over. Wait a minute."

"OK." Li Qing hung up and said to Ning manxuan, "wait a minute, they'll come out right away."

"Oh." Ning manxuan nodded and glanced at the electronic watch in the car. "It's only three thirty. It's too early to have dinner."

"Qiuqiu said she was going to eat in the suburbs. It seems that rou'er is looking for a place." Li Qing replied, "counting the drive, it's estimated that we have to go to the place at five o'clock."

"Won't you come back that night? I didn't bring anything."

"Probably not. If you want to stay there, Qiuqiu will inform you in advance."

While the two were talking, Lin Qiuqiu had walked out of the front door of Gangbei international commercial building, came to the car and knocked on the window.

"Ho." Li Qing shook down the window and stared at Lin Qiuqiu's delicate cheek, "wife, it's getting more and more beautiful."

Lin Qiuqiu gave him a light look: "did you come up with such a nutritious sentence along the way?"

Li Qing opened her mouth and was about to speak again. Lin Qiuqiu quickly stretched out her hand to stop him: "forget it, I don't have to think about it. You miss me again, don't you?"

"Hey, hey, right." Li Qing grinned, "do you have a reward for thinking about it all day?"

"Reward you a big head ghost." Lin Qiuqiu opened the door and sat in the back seat. "How's your son?"

Li Qing replied, "I just went to see it before I went out. I was sleeping soundly."

"Oh."

Li Qing asked again, "where are Anqing and them?"

"In front." Lin Qiuqiu stretched out her hand and pointed forward. "Anqing took rouer's car and walked from the underground parking lot. Drive forward and wait for them at the intersection for a while."

"OK." Li Qing should get off, start the car and drive along the street in front of Gangbei international commercial building.

"Qiuqiu." Ning manxuan turned her head and asked excitedly, "where are we going?"

Lin Qiuqiu said with a smile, "rou'er bought a manor in the suburbs and promised to take us to get together a few days ago."

Li Qing gently pulled at the corner of his mouth: "big pen, where is it?"

"Nanli."

"How did you buy Nanli?"

"That place is close to the inspector's office." Lin Qiuqiu smiled. "Rou'er said that the crime rate in Nanli is lower than that in the city center. It will be safer to live there."

Li Qing looks at Lin Qiuqiu through the endoscope in the car and finds that her spirit is much better than before. Her beautiful eyes are smiling. Unexpectedly, there is a trace of mature and charming amorous feelings out of thin air.

"It's the car in front." Lin Qiuqiu suddenly said, "see?"

"Well, I see." Li Qing nodded and honked the horn.

After a while, the white car in front that had just turned the corner also sounded its horn in response.

Lin Qiuqiu said, "just follow rou'er's car."

According to Li Qing, he drove behind the white car. Although he had not left North Hong Kong for a few days, he clearly found that the feelings between these women were much closer. Even Lin Qiuqiu's title to Mu rou'er changed from "miss rou'er" to "rou'er".

There was nothing to say all the way. After more than an hour, Li Qing and others arrived at mu rouer's manor in Nanli.

He got out of the car and looked around. The manor was not big, but it was better than the quiet environment and very stylish. Especially in the middle of a small artificial lake, several swans swam in it.

"Li Qing." An Qing rushed out of the car first and greeted him with a smile.

Mu rouer finally got out of the car and looked at Li Qing gently, with a faint smile on her lips. She twisted her eyes, rubbed her little hands and said, "it's too cold outside. Let's go into the house."

"It's really good." Ning manxuan made a circle on the newly sprouted lawn and held mu rouer's jade hand. "Rouer, you really can choose a place with a good style."

"Really?" Mu rouer slightly tilted her small head and smiled softly. "She made an album here a few years ago and liked it very much at that time. Just last month, I heard that the owner of the manor was going to settle abroad, so I asked a middleman to negotiate the price and buy it."

Saying this, mu rou'er raised her jade hand and pointed diagonally in front: "there is a vineyard over there. I plan to expand the scale this year and have more fruit trees."

Ning manxuan looked excited: "there is a vineyard, can you make wine?"

"This..." Mu rouer smiled, "yes, but the weather here is too good. It's easy to dry in summer. The quality of wine won't be too high. I'll try it this autumn. If it tastes good, please come and try it."

"Mm-hmm." Ning manxuan nodded her little head. She pestered mu rou'er with little stars. "Rou'er, why are you so rich? When I make enough money in the future, I'll buy a manor next to you and be a neighbor with you, okay?"

Mu rouer glanced at her gently: "big designer, are you still crying poor?"

"I can't compare with you. I earn hard money there. It's not easy." Ning manxuan puffed his mouth. "I'm working in canglan manor these two days. I'm almost choked by dust."

Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu walked quietly at the back. Taking advantage of no one's attention, Li Qing secretly grabbed Lin Qiuqiu's soft jade hand: "I didn't expect that man Xuan was lively like a child, talking so much."

Lin Qiuqiu pursed her small mouth and said with a smile, "her nature is like this. If you really get familiar with her, you'll be bored to death by her."

"Wow!" anqing suddenly screamed, startling several people present.

Ning manxuan turned her head and asked Anqing, "what's the matter? It's a surprise?"

"Rou'er." An Qing stretched out his hand and pointed to the artificial lake, "is that big white bird yours? It's nice to fly."

Li Qing held his forehead with one hand and couldn't help but be covered with black lines: "fool, that's a swan..."

"No." Mu rou'er smiled and shook her head. "They have activities in several nearby manors. It's unclear who raised them. They may be wild."

An Qing took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the swan in the lake. He couldn't help saying to Li Qing, "I think this place is much better than your canglan villa garden. Do you want to buy one?"

"Here?" Li Qing narrowed his eyes, looked around and immediately shook his head. "It's too close to the inspector's office. I made a special positioning when I just came. It's less than 20 minutes' drive from here to the port inspector's office."

"This is also a disadvantage?" anqing felt a little incredible. "Rou'er also said that it was close to the inspector's office, so it was safe."

Li Qing said with a smile: "I am just the opposite of her. The closer I am to the inspector's office, the more I feel unsafe."

Anqing muttered, "then you're really strange..."

"What's strange?" Ning manxuan came to pull anqing away, and said with a kind voice. "Haven't you heard that? This is not a good man. I advise you to stay away from him."

"Oh, I see." anqing nodded with a smile and turned to look at Lin Qiuqiu. "Qiuqiu, come here quickly. It's dangerous to stay with such bad people."

Lin Qiuqiu stroked her hair with a smile and immediately pulled Li Qing's arm: "I'm so sorry, I've been on the thief ship."

Several others laughed together. Li Qing's eyes swept over each beautiful face and finally stayed on Lin Qiuqiu. He suddenly had a strange feeling. Among the four women present, it seemed that only the smile of the woman around him was sincere, and others seemed to lack something.

It doesn't mean false, but it is true that a touch of loss is hidden under the smile.

At that time, Li Qing didn't understand it until many years later, when he recalled this evening again, he suddenly found the clue.

If love is a war, among the four women present at that time, only Lin Qiuqiu is the only winner. Others, however, can only restrain their inner pain and swallow the bitter fruit silently after sending blessings to the winner.

This day's dinner was very rich. Every dish seemed to have been carefully prepared. Laughter and laughter were heard on the table.

The four beauties touched their glasses and looked at Li Qing instead.

"What are you doing looking at me like this?" Li Qing put down his chopsticks and asked blankly.

Ning manxuan pursed her lips: "Li Qing, you are the only man today. Anyway, you have to show a little gentlemanly demeanor."

"Yes." anqing echoed, "you're good. You don't say a word. You just sit down and eat."

"I can't get in my mouth at all, okay? You just started talking about cosmetics, clothes, bags and so on. What else can I say?" Li Qing spread his hands and looked at the rich dishes on the table. "And I have to say that today's food is really delicious."

Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes also swept on the table, and then gently looked at mu rouer opposite her eyes. After living with Li Qing for so long, she naturally knows the latter's eating habits.

All the dishes on the table today, without exception, are what Li Qing likes to eat. It looks more like someone's special preparation.

Lin Qiuqiu knew very well, but she was as smart as she and chose not to say a word.

Mu rouer's eyes twinkled for a moment, gently put down the glass, and said somewhat uninteresting, "what's the meaning of our women's noise? Li Qing, as a man, you should have a drink."

Li Qing suddenly took a puff from the corner of his mouth: "I don't drink well, you all know..."

"Oh, hello." Ning manxuan's small face flushed slightly due to the effect of alcohol. "A big man actually used this excuse to stop women's wine. Are you still promising?"

"OK." Li Qing nodded helplessly, "I'll have a drink."
