Chapter 28: miss

chapter28
When Ruan Yan heard these words, he was confused, and still bewildered, "What?"
Zhou Mengyan didn't answer, he retracted his gaze and walked towards the door of his house.
She was dumbfounded.
What does this man mean?
"Madam, I'll take you in." The maid interrupted her thinking.
"it is good."
Ruan Yan now only has chocolate cake in his mind! !
When she went to the living room, she put the cake box on the coffee table, and the maid went to the dining room to get a knife and fork to help her cut the cake.
When Zhou Mengyan poured a cup of warm water and came out of the restaurant, he saw Ruan Yan sitting on the sofa, holding the dinner plate in his hand, taking a bite of the cake, and placing a small amount of ya, and he was full of food.
Sure enough, girls are easily satisfied.
Zhou Mengyan stepped forward and sat down diagonally to her right.
"Is it delicious?"
Ruan Yan nodded when he heard his voice, licked the corners of his lips with the tip of his tongue, and drooped his head: "But I can only eat this piece."
"why?"
She whispered: "I'm acting in a drama now. If I'm too fat, it won't look good on stage."
She also knows what a terrible crime it is to eat cream cake late at night.
The man frowned slightly: "Some people say you are fat?"
"No, I think so."
Zhou Mengyan said, "Then can you see how thin you are now?"
He usually holds it in his arms, and he doesn't feel exhausted at all.
Ruan Yan admitted that any girl would be very happy to hear such words. She raised the corner of her lips and took a mouthful of cake. "I mean keeping in shape."
"If you are too thin, it will affect the body's natural health and beauty. It will have poor resistance, less energy reserves, fatigue, lack of physical strength, etc., and the possibility of illness is also higher. You think this physical fitness can carry it. Do you start acting as a drama?"
Zhou Mengyan elaborated calmly.
"..."
She immediately said honestly: "I promise not to deliberately lose weight."
"You need to deliberately gain weight."
"?"
Zhou Mengyan stood up and glanced at her and her chocolate cake, "Eat what you want. You don't need to stay in shape now."
The man went upstairs.
Ruan Yan sat on the spot, blinked his eyes, and recollected his words carefully.
Although speaking coldly, it sounds a bit nice to the ear...
She smiled.
-
The performance of "Time and You" has been a great success for three consecutive nights. Tickets for the last night were sold out early. There were full seats and the response was particularly good.
With the end of the celebration banquet, the drama finally ended in Ruan Yan's life.
Without receiving notice of the new drama, Ruan Yan would rest at home or treat his eyes. Compared with the previous time, he didn't need to be so busy.
In late January, the days are gradually approaching the New Year.
Ruan Yan was reading in the study in the morning and suddenly received a call from Chen Rongyu.
"Uncle~"
"Yanyan has been so busy recently, how long has it been since I called me?" The man's joking voice was lazy and smiling.
Ruan Yan was ashamed: "I was really busy the past few weeks...what is my uncle doing now?"
"Just finished breakfast, ready to take your grandmother out to stroll around."
"Grandma?" Ruan Yan forced, "Are you back home?!"
The man hummed, "I just got home yesterday, and I'm already busy with work. It's estimated that I will stay for more than half a month."
Ruan Yan was surprised, "Great."
"So should you come back and see your uncle? Or are you too busy and I can't invite you?"
Ruan Yan smiled: "No! Then I'll book a plane ticket and try to go back soon."
In the evening, Zhou Mengyan came back from the company, and Ruan Yan told him the arrangements for returning to Sucheng tomorrow, "Go back and see grandma, and see you uncle."
Zhou Mengyan heard this and turned his eyes to look at her: "How many days are you going to go?"
Today Tuesday, "Let’s stay for three or four days, I should be back on Sunday."
He was silent for a while, "Let Ye Qing accompany you."
"Good." Ruan Yan got up, "I'll take a bath."
The bathroom door closed, Zhou Mengyan looked back, looked at the little yellow duck suitcase next to the closet, and lowered his eyelashes.
-
The next day, accompanied by Ye Qing, Ruan Yan flew to Sioux City with Coco.
Out of Sioux City Airport, Chen Rongyu's assistant came to pick her up. After half an hour's drive, the car drove to the door of the old villa.
Ruan Yan was helped out of the car by Ye Qing and heard the voice of her grandmother Gu Yuan behind the iron fence: "Finally arrived—"
The girl was taken forward, and then smiled and took Gu Yuan's arm: "Grandma, why are you coming out to pick me up? It's too cold."
Gu Yuan touched her arm, "Are you cold, why do you wear so little? What kind of dog is this?"
"It's called Coco, and it's my guide dog."
Gu Yuan touched Coco's head, "It's quite obedient."
"Grandma, let's go in, it's cold outside."
When the two entered the villa, Ruan Yan asked curiously where his uncle was. Gu Yuan said that he was calling upstairs and would get down soon.
Ruan Yan sat down on the solid wood sofa, the servant brought the white fungus soup, and Gu Yuan said, "Come on, drink some white fungus soup to warm your stomach."
Ruan Yan took a sip, "Wow, it's delicious."
Gu Yuan asked softly: "Right, where is Meng Yan? Is he busy with work?"
Ruan Yan nodded.
Zhou Mengyan was even busier at the end of the year, knowing that he must have no time, so yesterday he didn't ask him if he wanted to come back together.
"You drink, I'll go and take a look at the kitchen."
Ruan Yan leaned on the back of the sofa, humming softly, drinking the white fungus soup leisurely, and suddenly heard Chen Rongyu's low voice from his side: "So happy as soon as I go home?"
Ruan Yan turned his head quickly, saw the fuzzy figure standing on the right side of the sofa, and smiled brightly: "Uncle--"
Chen Rongyu wore a dark gray sweater with one hand in his pocket, standing against the warm winter sun, with a sporadic gentle smile on his lips.
He walked to Ruan Yan and sat down and looked at her: "Do you miss me?"
Ruan Yan smiled and took his hand, "I have thought about it, especially."
He raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Look at her condition recently?" It was much better than when she was blind.
"Well, I have recently started acting in a drama, and my daily life can be enriched."
"How rich? Tell me about it."
Ruan Yan talked a big deal with him. Chen Rongyu smiled and listened, and his eyes fell on the small suitcase beside him, "Didn't Zhou Mengyan come back with you?"
"No."
"How did he treat you during the period of marriage? Did he bully you?"
Ruan Yan shook his head and murmured with a smile: "Actually...Meng Yan is very good to me."
Chen Rongyu did not expect that he would hear such an evaluation from Ruan Yan.
He has known Zhou Mengyan for so many years. He doesn't know how weak this person is? Besides, it is still a commercial marriage.
"Zhou Mengyan threatened you to tell me that, eh?"
"Ah? No, what I said is true..."
He squeezed the girl's face, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Anyway, if you are bullied, remember to tell me that I will always stand by my niece."
Ruan Yan nodded.
After Gu Yuan came in, the three of them sat in the living room chatting, Ruan Yan asked about Chen Rongyu's arrangements for the coming year, and the other party said they were considering whether to return to China.
What the man thought of, said:
"May not go abroad for some personal reasons."
"Private reason? Isn't it for someone you like?" Ruan Yan laughed.
He curled his lips, "Would you like to introduce one to me?"
"Yes, I'll help you pay attention, but you have been abroad for so long, don't you have a girlfriend?"
My uncle obviously wants to have an appearance, education and education, how can it be difficult to find a girlfriend with such excellent conditions!
Chen Rongyu raised his eyes slightly, "Then wait for you to introduce me."
After a while, Gu Yuan went to work on other things. Ruan Yan received a call from Zhu Xingzhi and moved slowly to the backyard.
"Are you back to Sioux City? So suddenly."
"Well, my brother-in-law is back, come back and live for a few days."
"Well, I still want to ask you out for a stroll today..."
The two chatted briefly, and Zhu Xingzhi said that she would meet again when she came back. Ruan Yan hung up the phone and turned around and found Chen Rongyu leaning against the glass window, "Who is calling?"
"Girlfriend, she thought I was at home."
"Is that named Zhu Xingzhi?"
"Yes," Ruan Yan was stunned, "Did I tell you her name before?"
The man tightened his eyelashes, an emotion crossed his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up extremely shallowly.
"Ok."
He turned and walked back, Ruan Yan stood there, trying to remember the past, "Did I say..."
-
The afternoon sun filled the office of the president of the Van Moni Group.
Zhou Mengyan sat at the desk, flipping through the documents in his hand, and after a glance, he fell on the wine-red gift box beside the desk.
In the morning, Jiang Cheng took the box in and said:
"These are the three women's perfumes in the'Secretly Fascinated' series that Van Moni will launch on the 8th of next month. They said they will be sent to his wife first."
Ruan Yan's usual scent is a little grapefruit scent, mixed with violets, and close to a little bit, he can smell the sweet raspberry pralines, which is particularly good.
As long as the place she has stayed, her taste will remain.
"Hey, Zhou Mengyan!"
Sitting in front of him, Teng Heng raised his volume to call him. At the gaze of Meng Yan's return from last week, he put down his cocked Erlang's legs and chuckled softly, "Are you listening carefully?"
The man lowered his eyes and looked at the file again, his expression faint:
"You keep talking."
"What's your situation today? It feels like you are absent-minded."
"...I didn't sleep well last night." He explained casually.
"Did you sleep well?" Teng Heng smiled, "Isn't it because it's too late to exercise?"
Zhou Mengyan raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Are you sick?"
"By the way, I'll be in the game tonight. A few of us will come out for a drink and get together. Just bring Ruan Yan with you. We all know each other anyway."
"She went back to her hometown today."
"Your wife is not at home, so you have to come out to gather with us tonight." Teng Heng knocked on the table, "You have to come."
-
The neon lights adorn the night view of Shanglin City, and RT-Club is especially public in the night, which is a carnival for young people.
Compared with the feasting and feasting downstairs and the hot dance floor, the boxes upstairs are much quieter and more advanced.
Zhou Mengyan sat on the soft leather sofa with whiskey in his hand and drank silently. Teng Heng and Bai Xianyi next to him were chatting. On the TV in front of him, Chen Baiyu's "You Are Hidden From Me" was playing slowly.
Suddenly, the box door was pushed open.
"Here, don't call."
Zhong Zhanjing, who was dressed in a blue yellow lapel dress, walked in.
She looked at the three people in the box, and finally fell on Zhou Mengyan, and smiled: "Just the three of you?"
Teng Heng: "Otherwise, who else?"
"I thought there was a handsome guy that I hadn't seen before, so I went back and changed his suit." Zhong Zhanjing sat down casually beside Zhou Mengyan and put his bag between the two of them. "I knew I would be too lazy to dress up when I saw you. "
Bai Xianyi smiled lightly: "It's okay, Sister Zhanjing, see what you want to drink."
She ordered a mojito, and then looked at the man beside her, "Where is Ruan Yan? Didn't you bring her here?"
"She has been back home these days."
Zhong Zhan smiled, teasing her long hair, "Is she busy recently? I haven't seen her for a long time, I heard...she went to a drama?"
Zhou Mengyan said: "Yeah."
"Will you agree? She doesn't have full eyes yet. It would be dangerous to do this, aren't you worried?"
The man put down his wine glass, his eyes dazzled by the shadow of the lamp above his head:
"She insisted on going."
When Zhong Zhanjing heard the words, she raised her mouth: "I think she is outside and cannot guarantee safety, and she plays some small roles in her current situation... It doesn't make sense, and it's a waste of time."
Zhou Mengyan added the wine glass, without looking at Zhong Zhanjing the whole time:
"She doesn't feel like wasting time."
When the woman heard his tone, there was an illusion of helplessness. She lowered her head and held her bag, "No, I am mainly worried about her."
Bai Xianyi inserted the words in, "Brother Meng Yan, I heard Teng Heng say that your plan for the next year is to go to the United States?"
Next year's strategic plan for Van Moni is to formally enter the North American market. Zhou Mengyan may go to the Van Moni branch in the United States. This is a plan drawn up early this year.
Zhou Mengyan said: "It's still being arranged."
Zhong Zhanjing was surprised: "Are you sure? Then you haven't stayed in Lincheng for long?"
Teng Heng asked Zhou Mengyan: "Didn't you plan to go to the United States in March? It won't be more than a month."
The man looked at the wine glass and did not speak.
The waiter knocked on the door and came in, and the mojito was delivered, and the topic passed quietly.
In the evening, the four of them finished drinking and walked out of RT-Club. Teng Heng patted Zhong Zhanjing on the shoulder: "Sister, are you driving by yourself?"
"Ok."
"Then you can get this car back tomorrow. You live in Tenglong Tiandi, and you happen to be on the road with Zhou Mengyan. Zhou Mengyan, can you send Zhong Zhanjing back?"
The woman turned her head to look at Zhou Mengyan, who put her hand in her pocket and walked to Rolls Royce: "Get in the car."
Zhong Zhanjing bid farewell to the other two, and then got into Zhou Mengyan's car. After talking to the driver the address, the car drove out.
In the back seat, the man closed his eyes to rest, and Zhong Zhanjing looked out the window in silence.
After a while, she suddenly spoke:
"If you plan to go to the United States, will you take Ruan Yan with you?"
"Or...you want to separate?"
The man opened his eyes slightly, looked at the night view flashing outside the window, and said for a while: "Say it again."
Zhong Zhanjing did not ask any more.
Twenty minutes later.
The car arrived downstairs home.
Zhong Zhanjing picked up the bag and looked at Zhou Mengyan, her lips blurred, and she was expecting: "I went to T city to buy something for Ruan Yan some time ago, and I haven't had time to give it to her. Would you like to go with me? I will give you something."
Zhou Mengyan lit a cigarette:
"It's too late, wait for Ruan Yan to come back another day, and let her contact you again."
Zhong Zhanjing knew that he had reason to refuse.
She smiled and pushed the car door: "Okay, then I will contact her by myself and go first, good night."
The man did not answer.
When the car drove back to Yinan Mansion, Zhou Mengyan got out of the car.
Walking upstairs, he returned to the bedroom, opened the door, and turned on all the lights.
He closed the door, and the room was so quiet that there was even an echo.
Zhou Mengyan walked in step by step, then sat on the sofa, his eyes flowed over every decoration in the room.
He suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.
It was like the night Ruan Yan was trapped in the country.
He tilted his head and picked up Ruan Yan's bear pillow, the girl's face swayed in his head.
She was sitting here listening to the book, she was holding a pillow and chatting with her friend, she was sitting face to face in his arms, and he was kissing her here.
Zhou Mengyan felt that there was a piece in his heart like quicksand in his hand, passing by and getting more and more empty.
He finished smoking another cigarette.
Still feel a kind of irritability in my heart.
After a while, he took out his cell phone, clicked on the phone call page, and dialed Ruan Yan's number.
However, the other end showed no answer.
His eyes sank for a few minutes, and slowly slipped to the name "Chen Rongyu", then clicked to dial again.
After ten seconds, the other end picked up:
"Zhou Mengyan."
"Back home yesterday?"
The man at the other end walked back to the living room from the backyard, smiled faintly, "Yeah, I didn't expect you to know it."
The two chatted for a few words, Zhou Mengyan grabbed his mind and pretended to ask at will: "Where is Ruan Yan?"
"You are looking for your wife, ask from me?"
"She didn't answer."
"Why are you looking for her?"
"...I want to pack something at home, and ask her."
Chen Rongyu turned his head to look at the girl who was still eating citrus in the backyard, "Smoke is not free now, I am very busy, I am embarrassed to call her."
Zhou Mengyan: "..."
When Chen Rongyu saw that the other end was silent, he could guess his expression, and silently curled his lips: "Forget it, I can barely call for you."
He yelled to the backyard, Ruan Yan heard the words and walked in slowly.
"Zhou Mengyan is looking for you."
After calling Ruan Yan, he went to the kitchen.
Ruan Yan took it blankly, "Hello, Meng Yan?"
Hearing the girl's soft voice, he raised his eyes and asked warmly, "What are you doing?"
She smiled sweetly, "I was eating citrus just now."
"Is it delicious?"
"It's very sweet, it's grown by our family. Grandma said that I can bring some when I get home."
When Zhou Mengyan heard the words, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. When he was about to say the next sentence, he heard Ruan Yan on the phone.
Ruan Yan answered, and a voice came from the kitchen: "Come on, your favorite biscuits are ready."
"Okay, wait."
Ruan Yan asked Zhou Mengyan: "By the way, are you looking for me for anything?"
The man was silent for a moment: "Those dolls in your study, do you want the servant to wash them tomorrow?"
"Sure, but you can only wash it by hand."
Chen Rongyu: "Ruan Yan, hurry up! Don't want to eat if you come here!"
Ruan Yan couldn't stand his urging and had to ask Zhou Mengyan, "Is there anything else?"
The man on the other end: "..."
After a few seconds: "Nothing."
Ruan Yan smiled: "Then I'll hang up first, I'll go eat cookies, bye."
Zhou Mengyan just responded, the other end hanging neatly. He watched the talk time of less than two minutes, his face gradually sinking.
-
During the few days in Sucheng, Ruan Yan had a very happy life. From time to time, he went out with his grandmother and uncle, as if returning to the childhood days.
On the other hand, Zhou Mengyan, who was in Lincheng, felt that the past three days were extremely slow.
In order to alleviate the inexplicable emotions in his heart, he increased his workload and worked overtime at night until he fell asleep directly at the company.
On Saturday afternoon, he was working overtime at the company. He just finished a meeting and walked to the office when his cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw the name "Ruan Yan".
Jiang Cheng, who was following behind, was about to speak, but was stopped by the man with a gesture. Zhou Mengyan answered the phone and opened the door of the office, "Ruan Yan."
"Hey, Meng Yan—"
"Well, what's the matter?"
"I want to talk to you about going back to Lincheng."
Hearing this, he suddenly cleared his heart, "Will you be back tomorrow? When will the driver pick you up?"
"No..." Ruan Yan explained hurriedly, "I should stay in Sucheng for a few more days, and I will go back after the new year."
The man opened his notebook paused, and his eyebrows frowned: "After the new year?"
"Well...I just came back anyway, just stay a few more days."
Zhou Mengyan looked at the desk calendar on the table, five days before Xiao Nian.
His face was completely dark.
Chen Rongyu's smiling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Zhou Mengyan, you have been very busy these days? It's the end of the year. There must be a lot of things in the company. I guess I can't come back?"
Ruan Yan was also very considerate and said: "It doesn't matter, Meng Yan is busy with you, work is important!"
Zhou Mengyan: "..."
After hung up the phone, he looked at the desk calendar and didn't do anything extra for two minutes.
In the evening, the sky was getting dark, and the man closed his notebook, leaned back in the chair, and pressed his brows.
After a while, he let Jiang Cheng in.
"Zhou, are you looking for me?"
Zhou Mengyan raised his eyes to look at him: "Is there a financial conference hosted by Siona Group in Sioux City the day after tomorrow?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, isn't this something he couldn't say last two weeks, "Yes, I have already pushed you off before."
The man whispered:
"I will go, you arrange it."
Jiang Cheng:?
He didn't understand why Zhou Mengyan suddenly wanted to attend this small meeting, "Okay."
After a while, Jiang Cheng knocked on the door again and came in. "Zhou, I just asked you about it. This financial meeting will be postponed to next Monday."
The man's expression stopped.
He put the back of his hand on his lips, coughed slightly, and asked after a few seconds: "Then I am in Sioux City, do you have any other arrangements."
"No..." Jiang Cheng just said, he suddenly realized something from Meng Yan's sight last week, and the words in his mouth immediately turned sharply, "Zhou, I, I will check it for you."
"Ok."
Five minutes later, Jiang Cheng paddled the tablet, and finally tried his best to find one:
"President Zhou, that...Vice President Zhang of Kangya has been meeting with you all the time. I hope you will go to Sioux City to see his new leather bag factory and talk about cooperation. Would you...Would you like to visit?"
"You book a plane ticket."
"it is good."
Jiang Cheng walked to the door and heard Zhou Mengyan add another sentence: "The sooner the better, the earlier the treatment is done, and the earlier you come back."
Jiang Cheng: "..."
My goodness, boss, just say it if you want to see your wife!
-
Adhering to the principle of "I know everything, I don't break anything", Jiang Cheng very intimately helped Zhou Mengyan book a plane ticket to Sioux City in the evening of the next day.
On Sunday night, Zhou Mengyan got off the plane, and as soon as he walked out of the airport, a cold wind came over.
Sioux City is colder than Lin City.
It's the clammy cold in the south that makes people feel uncomfortable.
I got on the Bentley, closed the door, and the car was fully heated.
Jiang Cheng turned around, "Mr. Zhou, it's late now, or... go to the wife first?"
Zhou Mengyan said: "Yeah."
Jiang Cheng: I'm really a little clever ghost who moves along the river.
As the car drove to the old villa, Zhou Mengyan looked at the scenery outside the window along the way, and couldn't help but think of seeing Ruan Yan later.
He came here without telling her.
I don't know how she would react when seeing him.
As he got closer to his destination, Zhou Mengyan's irritability for many days was suppressed in his heart, as if a little bit of it disappeared.
Finally the car stopped in front of the old villa.
Jiang Cheng pulled the car door, and the man stepped out of the car, tucking his gray woolen trench coat tightly.
However, he looked up at the villa, only to find that it was dark inside, as if no one was living at all.
He rang the doorbell several times, but no one came out to respond.
The man's temple jumped inexplicably.
Jiang Cheng weakly said next to him: "Zhou, would you like to call your wife?"
Zhou Mengyan took out his cell phone and dialed Ruan Yan's number.
The other end rang for a while, then picked up: "Hello, Meng Yan?"
The man was silent and asked, "Are you...Aren't you at home?"
"what?"
He coughed slightly, "I just came to Sioux City, at the door of your grandmother's house."
The other side was shocked: "You are here?! Why didn't you tell me, I'm going to the resort with my grandmother and uncle now, and I won't be home tonight!"
Zhou Mengyan standing in the cold wind: "..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Mr. Zhou: Shaking and cold
Mr. Zhou really "chased" his wife this time! ! hahahahahahahahaha
The dog man got the hang of it! Next, let's watch him eat crazily! I want the audience to assist him!
