Chapter 35: Confession

chapter35
When Ruan Yan was taken to the lounge by Ye Qing, he thought that Ye Qing was just taking her to find a place where no one was there to ease her emotions.
Pushing open the door of the room, Ruan Yan lowered his head and wiped himself away with tears and sobbed. Unexpectedly, in the next moment, there was a low and familiar male voice:
"You all go out first."
Ruan Yan heard Zhou Mengyan's voice, raised his dim eyes in shock, and saw a person sitting on the sofa inside—
How could Zhou Mengyan be here? !
She cried suddenly and stopped.
After Ye Qing approached the door intimately, the lounge was quiet.
On the sofa, the man looked at Ruan Yan who was still a little unresponsive and stood still, and immediately got up and walked in front of her.
In Zhou Mengyan’s vision, the girl’s face was covered with tears and her eyes were red like rabbits. He frowned, raised his hand to clasp the back of her head, and sighed slightly:
"How can you cry like this?"
Before Ruan Yan could answer, he leaned down and picked her up, walked to the sofa and sat down, letting her sit on his lap.
He wrapped her waist with one hand, then took the tissue he had prepared and wiped her tears.
Ruan Yan reacted, his heartbeat was disturbed by his strong and gentle movements, his cheeks flushed, and his heart came out with shame.
Why did this person arrive early... just now she was crying "whatever she wants" qwq.
Zhou Mengyan hugged her, feeling her head against the neck, tears streaming on her head, wet, his voice was very cold with distress:
"I shouldn't have let you play in a drama."
Knowing she would be so hard and suffering such a grievance, he said that he didn't want her to come out to act in a drama.
His tone was like accusing, but Ruan Yan could hear that he was caring for her.
Ruan Yan whispered: "Why are you here?"
"When I'm done, I'll come to see you in advance."
I wanted to take her to a holiday happily, but I didn't expect to come here to make him angry enough.
"Then you just... saw me rehearsing?"
"What do you think?" He looked down at her, "If I didn't come today, did you plan to tell me about the rehearsal?"
She was so guilty in her voice that she said, "In fact, it's nothing, just rehearsal..."
He remembered the few times she had just fallen, "Is there any injury or pain?"
Ruan Yan shook his head, "No, it's all fake moves." Since she coldly showed Yan Danqiu, the other party dared not make any small movements.
He wiped the tears from her cheeks with his fingers, "When did your screenwriter change the script?"
"in the afternoon……"
"Temporarily changed?"
"Ok."
He suddenly asked: "How do you feel like she treats you normally?"
Ruan Yan was stunned. For a moment he didn't know what to say, and the man saw her thoughts: "Tell the truth."
She looked down: "I think she doesn't like me a little bit, but it may be that I think too much..."
She always felt that it was her own illusion. After all, Zhao Yue was Zhong Zhanjing's friend, and there was no entanglement between them, but during this period of time in the crew, she could feel that Zhao Yue was somewhat hostile to her.
Just like the previous two days, she made a small comment during the rehearsal. Zhao Yue made a roundabout saying that she was not worthy to come and tell her. Every time Zhao Yue was on the scene, she would not be ignored. Only talk to other people.
And Zhao Yue has never changed the script, only today, it happened to be Yan Danqiu's body movements.
After listening to Zhou Mengyan, he only said: "I know."
Seeing him not speaking, Ruan Yan raised his head slightly to look at him:
"Do you think I acted well just now?"
The girl didn't take the wronged thing in her heart at all, but instead cared about her acting well.
The man laughed angrily by her for a while: "Do you still care about this now?"
"Of course……"
A good performance means she is worth crying!
He held her tighter: "A good performance."
It was so real that he was so flustered that he planned to stop immediately and took her into his arms on stage.
Affirmed, the corner of her lips lit up, and the man saw her smile, and the corners of his lips curled up, "I am happy to be praised?"
"Yeah..." she whispered, "especially your affirmation."
"why?"
"Because you didn't believe that I could act well before, saying that I was just touching my mouth and talking about dreams. I am also afraid that if I do not act well, if someone knows me, I will lose your face."
Zhou Mengyan didn't expect that the words that hit her before would make her remember now.
He held her face lightly and said dumbly: "Sorry, I was wrong before. I think you can't do it, but now I see it."
His voice was gentle, "And when did I say I was afraid you would lose my face, huh?"
He had never thought about it this way.
He rubbed the top of her hair. "You will only make me proud."
Ruan Yan was at a loss when he heard the words.
She never expected to hear such words in Zhou Mengyan's mouth.
Ruan Yan felt like a spring breeze in her heart, blowing away the dark clouds that had been covering her heart. She smiled and heard him ask, "Do you still want to cry now?"
She shook her head.
She calmed down.
He asked in a low voice, "Then I can take you away?"
Ruan Yan wondered, "Where are you going?"
"go to eat."
Ruan Yan got off his lap, Zhou Mengyan led her out of the lounge, Ye Qing and Jiang Cheng were waiting at the door, and the man said: "Take your wife to the car first. I'll come later."
Ye Qing nodded and left with Ruan Yan.
Then the man looked at Jiang Cheng, and his voice returned to his coldness: "Where are people."
"In the theater."
-
On the other side, the people in the theater gradually dispersed. Zhao Yue stood in front of the first row of the auditorium, reverberating in her mind what Zhou Mengyan's assistant had just said when she walked to her, sweating in her hands, and her heart beating up and down.
She never expected that Zhou Mengyan was at the rehearsal site just now, and she didn't even notice him at all!
Is it possible that Zhou Mengyan approached her because... she changed the script?
He saw that Ruan Yan was aggrieved, and he wanted to trouble her?
Zhao Yue was flustered, but she suddenly thought--what is she afraid of? She is the screenwriter of "Quiet Lake"! She has the right to change the script. All this is for this play. What right does Zhou Mengyan have to trouble her? !
What if he feels bad for Ruan Yan, his hand can still reach this crew? What can he do to her? !
After waiting for ten minutes, Zhao Yue's heart became more and more anxious. It was obvious that Zhou Mengyan was deliberately chilling her, and her panic and guilty conscience suddenly turned into anger.
Why did he make her wait here? Why should she listen to him?
Zhao Yue picked up her handbag and just walked two steps forward, when she saw that the door was pushed open, Zhou Mengyan's figure appeared in the dim vision, unable to see the emotion on his face.
The man walked towards him slowly, Zhao Yue tried to stand up straight, waiting for him to walk in front of him, she raised her head and stared at him:
"Mr. Zhou, is there anything to do with me?"
Zhou Mengyan looked at her, his eyebrows melted into the cold light a little bit:
"Is the script changed satisfactory?"
Zhao Yue's heart sank and raised the corner of her lips, "I am a screenwriter. It is my duty to change the script. Don't you think it's weird to ask me about this?"
The implication, what qualifications does he have to ask?
""Jinghu" is well written."
He played with the lighter in his hand and looked at her: "After finishing writing the script, Zhao's screenwriter work can be temporarily stopped and take a good rest at home."
Zhao Yue felt that she was hearing hallucinations.
"What do you mean?"
"I will inform the crew, I don't need you for the next drama schedule."
Zhao Yue's eyes widened, "What do you want to do?! Let me never show up here again? Mr. Zhou, this is the Light and Shadow Theater, not your company! You have no right!"
"I am the biggest investor in this show, do you have the right?"
Zhao Yue was stunned.
Investor... the investor who suddenly landed in the air a few days ago? ! It turned out to be Zhou Mengyan?
Zhao Yue felt like her whole body was shocked, and she glared:
"Zhou Mengyan, just because I changed Ruan Yan's script, you just retaliated against me like this? If it weren't for my script, your wife wouldn't even be acting!"
Ruan Yan is a thing in her eyes!
Zhou Mengyan suddenly laughed when he heard the words.
"Ruan Yan doesn't have this drama, and he can act in other plays, but what would happen if Miss Zhao didn't have the job of a screenwriter?"
"Zhou Mengyan, are you zooming in?"
He threatened her with his job? !
"Is it a big deal, you can try."
Zhao Yue looked at him calmly, and knew that with Zhou Mengyan's capital behind, if she completely angered him, what he said would really come true...
"Today I changed the script, I really didn't deliberately target Ruan Yan..."
He looked at her coldly: "Really?"
Zhao Yue listened to his determined tone, felt her legs and feet soft, and her fingertips trembled uncontrollably. She tightened her eyelashes and trembling slightly:
"Mr. Zhou, I am going to change the script back. I beg you to..."
Before Zhao Yue finished speaking, the man turned around and left.
Zhao Yue looked at him from behind, as if being drawn from a soul, and realized what the consequences would be on her.
-
Ruan Yan sat on the Rolls Royce and waited. After a while, the door on the right was opened and Zhou Mengyan sat in.
"What did you do?" Ruan Yan asked casually.
"Some little things."
Zhou Mengyan told the driver: "Yuexin Lake Bay."
Maybach drove out, through the neon night, drove through the crowded city, and drove to the outskirts.
In the car, Ruan Yan’s mobile phone vibrated. She wore headphones, opened the screen, read the screen through voice, and finally clicked on the voice message from Zhu Xingzhi:
[Where are you tonight? At home? 】
Ruan Yan replied: [No...I'm outside, just coming out of the troupe, ready to go for dinner. 】
[Are you alone? 】
[No, there is Zhou Mengyan. 】
[Zhou Mengyan is now with you? ! 】
Ruan Yan also wondered why she was so surprised, [What's wrong? 】
Zhu Xingzhi said excitedly: [You two are also celebrating Valentine's Day? ? ? 】
Ruan Yan was startled when he heard the words--
Today is February 14th? !
She checked the calendar and it turned out to be true. She was so busy recently that she didn't even know that it was Valentine's Day.
Zhu Xingzhi: [Did Zhou Mengyan take the initiative to take you out? 】
[Hmm...] He really asked her.
[He will not specifically take you to Valentine's Day! ! my God……】
Ruan Yan felt hot in his mind and immediately denied, how could it be possible! He took her to Valentine's Day. It's absolutely impossible.
Zhu Xingzhi: [Where is Zhou Mengyan taking you? 】
Ruan Yan: [It seems to be called Yuexin Lake Bay. 】
Zhu Xingzhi: [? ? ? ! 】
[Have you never heard that there is a super beautiful Lover Lake in Yuexin Lake Bay? It is a beautiful place for couples to date. 】
Ruan Yan:? ? ?
Hmm?
Zhu Xingzhi seemed to jump with excitement over there: [Valentine's Day Zhou Mengyan took you out for dinner, if it happens, why did he go to Yuexin Lake Bay? He won't have any thoughts about you, haha...]
Ruan Yan bursts a little tomato on his cheek: [Don't talk nonsense! 】
It's impossible...
Ruan Yan rubbed his mobile phone, his heartbeat was a little chaotic.
After a long while, she plucked up the courage to speak: "Meng Yan..."
The man turned to look at her, "What's wrong."
She tentatively said: "Um...you don't know that today is Valentine's Day, right?"
After a few seconds, he said: "I know."
Ruan Yan:? ? ? He actually knew?
"That, then we tonight..."
He looked at her panic and raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you willing to come out with me?"
Eh?
"Not..."
"Wait until later."
Ruan Yan: "...?" She felt more dizzy in her mind.
Half an hour later, Rolls-Royce drove into the Yuexin Lake Bay Scenic Area, which was officially developed as a tourist attraction in the suburb of Lincheng last year. It was built around the largest Yuexin Lake in the south of Lincheng. The scenery is pleasant and surrounded by mountains. It is near the water, surrounded by mountains, equipped with restaurants, hotels, and other infrastructure. The outline of Yuexin Lake is particularly like a heart, so it is called Yuexin Lake.
Ruan Yan didn't understand why Zhou Mengyan would take her to eat in this place where people can easily imagine.
After arriving at the place, before the car stopped in a building, Zhou Mengyan got out of the car first, and then he walked to Ruan Yan's seat and helped her open the car door, "Give me your hand."
She was stunned, stretched out her hand, and was led out of the car by him.
The staff who came to the reception bowed to them: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, please come with me."
Ruan Yan was led by the man and walked forward, feeling very quiet around him, as if there was no one else besides them.
Today is Valentine's Day, isn't there a lot of lovers here?
Guided by the staff, they walked into the restaurant first. Ruan Yan heard a melodious sound of music, and the symphony orchestra was playing music.
The lighting in the restaurant was dim and romantic, and every table was empty. The two of them walked in and finally sat down by the window.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows beside them, one can overlook the most beautiful Moon Lake.
The waiter pulled away the chair behind him, Zhou Mengyan took Ruan Yan, let her sit down slowly, and then sat opposite.
As soon as Ruan Yan sat down, something was placed in his arms, and the waiter's voice sounded in front of him:
"Mrs. Zhou, this is a rose for you. Happy Valentine's Day to you and Mr. Zhou."
Ruan Yan was stunned.
Roses? !
She stretched out her hand and stroked the outline of a large bouquet of red roses, her small face was filled with dazedness, "This rose..."
The man facing her looked at her unexpected reaction, silently curling his lips: "What's the matter?"
Ruan Yan didn't understand that this was from the restaurant or Zhou Mengyan asked them to deliver it, but how could Zhou Mengyan buy her flowers...
The restaurant should think they are husband and wife, so right?
Ruan Yan shook his head, "It's okay..."
She was afraid to ask later, Zhou Mengyan said she thought too much, but was embarrassed.
After a while, the waiter put on the head first, and Ruan Yan listened to the quiet voices around him, and felt more like there was no one except them, "Meng Yan, are we the two here?"
"Ok."
He added: "It will not be open to the public today."
Because he had already explained to the leader of the scenic spot in advance, in order to avoid the noise, he covered the whole place, and only him and Ruan Yan would come here tonight.
Ruan Yan felt more and more strange...
Ruan Yan silently ate the foie gras and caviar, and suddenly heard the man on the opposite side say:
"Why don't you like to talk tonight?"
"Um..." Because Ruan Yan felt confused in her mind, the candlelight was lit in front of her. The atmosphere here was too romantic, and she was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.
"Have you been here before?"
"No."
"After we finish eating later, we can go to Yuexin Lake. The scenery here is very good."
Go to the lake?
How does Ruan Yan think he seems to have a lot of time tonight...
After dinner, Zhou Mengyan led Ruan Yan to leave the restaurant and crossed a green-lined road. The two of them walked to Yuexin Lake, and were finally taken to the boat on the lake. They boarded the boat, and then the staff stopped. Walking on the shore, only the boatman and them were left on the boat.
The improved wooden boat sailed towards the lake, with a warm orange light hung above her head. Ruan Yan and Zhou Mengyan sat side by side. She faced outwards, feeling the night breeze slowly blowing her face, and the sound of water in her ears was soft and quiet, like Drive into a paradise on earth.
If you can see it, you will definitely be beautiful here.
Her lips curled slightly, remembering the past: "In high school, my classmates and I also visited the lake at night, but it was not here."
"With classmates?"
"Ok."
"Male classmate?"
"We have both male and female classmates. It was our high school summer vacation, and it was quite hot at night."
After a long silence, Zhou Mengyan asked suddenly:
"Ruan Yan, have you been chased by many boys before."
"Huh?" She turned to him, "It's okay."
"There is no agreement."
Ruan Yan shook his head, "I didn't meet anyone I like." I feel that there are many types of chasing her, but she is always unmoved for various reasons.
Zhou Mengyan didn't answer any more, his eyes fell on the moonlit lake outside, and he spoke leisurely:
"This lake is Lincheng's Lover Lake. There is a legend about it."
"what?"
"In ancient times, there was a couple. The man was the son of a big family, and the woman was just a girl from an ordinary household. Because the door was not the right place, the man's family separated them and prevented them from meeting.
But the two of them still love each other very much, and the son promised this girl that one day he would take her away, go far and fly, and let her wait for him. So the girl lived by the lover's lake, waiting for her every day. "
Ruan Yan: "Then later...did she wait?"
"The girl waited for a whole year, but she heard that the son was going to marry a young lady from a big family, and the two would get married next month. She was ashamed of death. She stood by the lake at night, planning to throw herself into the lake, but the son appeared.
In fact, he never liked others from beginning to end.
The two of them took the boat, complained to each other on the boat, made an oath, and finally eloped into the distance. "
"Wow, it's so romantic."
Zhou Mengyan turned to look at her:
"So many couples came here later, hoping that they would never be separated for the rest of their lives."
Ruan Yan was stunned for a moment, and his heart beat faster and he didn't understand what Zhou Meng said.
He could not be suggesting something to her, could he?
The man's eyes fell on her face, his emotions rolled, and the next sentence was about to blurt out when the phone bell suddenly rang.
The atmosphere he had just set up was instantly broken.
Zhou Mengyan's face turned dark.
He picked up the phone and saw the words "Zhong Zhanjing" on the screen.
His eyes were too strong to see emotions.
Ruan Yan saw that he hadn't answered for a long time, "You answer the phone first..."
Finally, Zhou Mengyan clicked on the call button, and then put the phone to his ear. Zhong Zhanjing's slightly anxious voice came: "Meng Yan? Where are you?"
The man frowned slightly, "Something?"
"I want to talk to you about something."
"Me and Ruan Yan are outside."
Zhong Zhan was silent for a moment, looking at Zhao Yue who had been crying beside him, frowned, and had to say on the phone:
"I heard that you went to the troupe today and saw that Zhao Yue changed the play for Ruan Yan. You were angry, so Zhao Yue could not stay on the crew?"
"has a problem?"
"Do you know how important Zhao Yue is to me? I have been friends with you for more than ten years. You can't care about my face. Don't be so pretentious?"
Zhou Mengyan asked:
"Then you know how important Ruan Yan is to me?"
The the side heard this:? ? !
Zhong Zhanjing recalled that Zhao Yue had called her before, saying that Ruan Yan happened to be on her crew, she would definitely speak out for Zhong Zhanjing, so she deliberately targeted Ruan Yan and changed the script. The heart was guilty, but as soon as Zhou Mengyan said these words, she charged up with jealousy:
"Did Ruan Yan bumped or fell? Didn't anything happen? You protect her so much, and your partiality is so obvious, so you haven't considered my feelings as a friend at all?"
"Let me think about my feelings. I might as well ask your friends next time to stop thinking about it."
"Don't be too obvious."
Zhong Zhan was stunned.
Zhou Mengyan cut off the phone directly, and Ruan Yan next to him recalled the words he had just heard about her. He was a bit at a loss, "You, who were you just... calling?"
"Zhong Zhanjing."
"she was……?"
"I told Zhao Yue not to participate in the layout of the script again."
Ruan Yan didn't expect him to do this, "But how can you..."
He said quietly: "I am an investor in this show."
Ruan Yan was surprised: "You, are you also interested in dialogue dramas?"
"I am not interested in dialogue dramas."
Ruan Yan:?
"But I am interested in you."
Ruan Yan slapped his head, and the waves in his heart were instantly rolled up.
He saw her dumbfounded, leaned sideways closer to her, and asked in a low voice with a smile:
"Yanyan still don't understand?"
Ruan Yan's mind was chaotic, and he squeezed his palms tightly. He had guessed in his mind, but felt that that possibility was impossible.
The next moment, his voice sounded again:
"Xiao Nianye went to Sioux City to look for you, not because of official business, but because I wanted to see you. The next day when the fire broke out next door, I appeared in front of you, not because I was busy with work, but because I heard you were uncomfortable, and I was so flustered overnight. come back.
I kissed you in the hallway on my birthday night. Actually, I wasn't drunk because you were so cute. I couldn't help but want to kiss you. Want to invest in drama, want to participate in everything you do, but also want to secretly protect you.
Today, Valentine's Day, I will bring you here, give you roses, and take you to the Lake of Love. Although I don’t have much experience and I don’t know if I’m doing well, it’s not a coincidence that I arranged for a long time. "
He paused, and the next moment, the soft voice crumpled in the wind, and fell to Ruan Yan's ear:
"So, I finished like this—"
"Can you feel that I like you?"
