Honeyed Marriage

chapter 32

Zhou Mengyan saw Qin Xi suddenly appearing without knocking on the door, and immediately got up, his entire face turned black: "Mom..."

"Um... I thought Ruan Yan was here alone."

Qin Xi covered her mouth and held back a smile:

"You continue, I will help you lock the door."

Ruan Yan's face went red: "..."

Woo woo woo.

Qin Xi didn't say much, and immediately closed the door, and walked back to the room with a smile on the back of the fruit, "Srisley, I tell you a major discovery! I don't think they need a divorce, and we might be able to quickly I held my grandson..."

In the tea room, Ruan Yanxu blushed, and the next moment she was picked up by the man, she buried her head in his neck with shame, and complained: "You said no one..."

He covered the back of her head with a big palm, rubbed it, smiled silently, and picked her up, "It's okay, let's go back to the room."

Ruan Yan hung on him and was carried back to the room by him.

When the door was locked, she was pressed against the door by him, and little kisses fell.

The sound of fireworks outside the window became louder and louder, covering up the sound of joyous tides in the bedroom.

This is the first time Ruan Yan spent New Year's Eve in bed.

When the first time was over, Zhou Mengyan hugged her, leaned against the bay window, and turned to look at the clock on the wall, just after twelve o'clock.

The fireworks outside was shining, his forehead was against her, and his voice was low and mute: "Ruan Yan, Happy New Year."

Ruan Yan opened his misty eyes, and his red lips let out a few words: "Happy New Year..."

She will probably never forget the night of New Year's Eve this night.

After New Year's Eve, the new year came. On the afternoon of the third day of the first month, Zhou Mengyan received a call from Teng Heng in the old house.

"Zhou Mengyan, you have no arrangements tonight?"

"No, what's wrong."

"I'm out for dinner tonight. We booked a box. Shouldn't everyone get together during the New Year?"

"You can send me the address."

Teng Heng said OK, then hung up, turned his head and smiled at Bai Xianyi and Zhong Zhanjing sitting in the clubhouse: "Agree, Zhou Mengyan didn't seem to notice it at all."

Bai Xianyi curled her lips, "Brother Meng Yan never remembers his birthday on the lunar calendar.

Zhong Zhanjing smiled helplessly, "Hey, you three of you, which one of you did not remember my birthday? It's all you guys forgot my birthday, OK?"

"Bai Xianyi and I both remember it, mainly Zhou Mengyan, this person is too much, and logically speaking, this birthday should not be handled for him."

Zhong Zhan shook his head, "Forget it, I should be more magnanimous, and who knows if he will leave in March, it should be our meeting."

"Yes."

Zhong Zhanjing remembered something, and tentatively asked: "By the way, did Meng Yan say that he would bring Ruan Yan over?"

Teng Heng: "I didn't mention it, I don't know if he will."

Zhong Zhanjing nodded thoughtfully, "I will go to the restaurant early today to check the menu for tonight. By the way, I should bring a friend tonight, don't you mind?"

Teng Heng was curious: "Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Whatever you think, it is my best friend. You have met before, Zhao Yue, she just happened to be free tonight, so I can ask her to come with me if I think about it.

"no problem."

In the evening, Ruan Yan and Zhu Xingzhi were shopping in the mall and they received a call from Zhou Mengyan.The other side said to pick her up and take her to a dinner together. It was Teng Heng's group of friends and Ruan Yan agreed.

Zhou Mengyan knew that today was his birthday, and roughly guessed that Teng Heng and the others asked him out for this, but he didn't mention it to Ruan Yan.

Zhou Mengyan never told her when her birthday was, and she didn't remember it, so Ruan Yan thought it was just going to have a meal.

After being received by Zhou Mengyan, the two went to the meeting place tonight.

This is a private kitchen that Zhong Zhanjing usually likes to come to. It only serves six tables every night. You usually need to make reservations when you come. The reservation is very early for the Spring Festival. Zhong Zhanjing only ordered two months in advance. .

After Zhong Zhanjing and Zhao Yue arrived fifteen minutes earlier, they first confirmed the dishes for tonight with the kitchen. After a while, Bai Xianyi and Teng Heng also came, and they were missing the protagonists tonight.

After Zhong Zhanjing and Zhao Yue went to the bathroom, they walked back. Zhong Zhanjing asked about recent events with her girlfriends: "Has the script you wrote passed?"

"Finally passed, hey, rehearsal will begin in the next year."

"So anxious?"

"Well, the performance will be performed in April, the time is relatively short..."

As soon as the two turned across the promenade, they saw the other end in front, a man and a woman turned in—

Ruan Yan took Zhou Mengyan and walked slowly in their direction.

Zhong Zhanjing stopped at his feet.

Ruan Yan wore a beige sweater and brown short skirt today. He wore a long khaki plaid trench coat and white canvas shoes. Compared with Zhong Zhanjing's mature and gentle style, he looked childish and youthful.

Ruan Yan has a slim figure, two slender and straight legs under the skirt, plus an impeccable face, white and clear, full of light, amber water eyes under the slender eyelashes curled up with a smile. Like a cute little crescent.

She tilted her face upwards, not knowing what she was saying with a smile, and the corners of the man beside her lips curled extremely shallowly.

Zhong Zhanjing looked at them, stunned, then raised the corner of his lips, and walked forward with Zhao Yue.

The two sides approached the box in the middle and saw each other, Zhong Zhanjing said, "Hey, Ruan Yan——"

Ruan Yan heard her voice, stopped, curled his lips: "Sister Zhanjing."

"Teng Heng and Bai Xianyi are already inside, let's go in."

"it is good."

Zhou Mengyan pushed open the box door and took Ruan Yan in. Zhao Yue took Zhong Zhanjing’s hand at the door, angrily, and whispered: "You have worked so hard to prepare for Zhou Mengyan’s birthday for so long. The restaurant ordered cakes again, and he brought his wife over when he turned around?"

Zhong Zhan calmly tightened his eyelashes: "Isn't he supposed to bring Ruan Yan here? Don't say so much."

"I'm just upset..."

Zhong Zhanjing has liked Zhou Mengyan for so many years, and now he can only watch other girls standing right next to him. Why?

Zhong Zhanjing took her hand and walked into the box. Inside, Ruan Yan sat next to Zhou Mengyan. He took the tea from Bai Xianyi and thanked him. Bai Xianyi asked, "Are my sister-in-law's eyes better?"

"Well, it's getting better gradually."

Zhong Zhanjing and Zhao Yue sat on the other side of Ruan Yan, and Zhong Zhanjing asked: "Ruan Yan, how are you doing? I wanted to invite you some time ago. At that time, you happened to be in Sucheng?"

"Well, I just went back to see my uncle."

"By the way, I bought you some dessert when I traveled abroad last time, and I brought it today."

Zhong Zhanjing asked Zhao Yue to bring the gift box in the corner of the sofa, "Here is hand-made sesame pastry. There are various flavors and some pastries. I think girls will like it. You can try it now."

"Thank you sister Zhanjing..."

Teng Heng joked: "It's not fair, just bring it to Ruan Yan, not us."

Zhong Zhanjing: "What dessert do you boys have?"

"Eh, who said boys can't eat anymore?"

Ruan Yan smiled, took out the gift box, and first divided it among them. She fumbled and picked up a bag. As soon as she was about to tear it open, the bag in her hand was taken away by Zhou Mengyan next to her.

He helped her tear it apart and put it in her palm, Ruan Yan tasted a slice, "Is this orange?"

"Is it delicious?" he asked.

"Ok."

Zhong Zhan said quietly, "In addition to oranges, there are other flavors. You can also taste Meng Yan."

Zhou Mengyan didn't taste it. Instead, he helped Ruan Yan tore open several other small packages and let her taste them one by one. Ruan Yan guessed the taste: "Does it taste watermelon?"

"wrong."

"Huh? What is that?"

He looked sideways at her concentrating on eating sweets, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Hami melon."

"Eh, what about the one just now?"

"That was a watermelon just now."

"Oh……"

Teng Heng's gaze fell on the two of them, coughed slightly, and laughed and teased: "Hey, you two, do you want to be so fancy to eat a candy?"

Zhou Mengyan looked up at him coldly.

Zhong Zhanjing looked at Zhou Mengyan with emotions in her heart.

After a while, the waiter came in to inform that the food was ready, so a few people took their seats. Zhong Zhanjing found an excuse to leave the box, and Zhao Yue accompanied her.

The two walked out of the box. Looking at Zhong Zhanjing's gloomy expression, Zhao Yue took her hand and walked to the rockery in front:

"Sure enough, you are still unhappy, right?"

Zhong Zhanjing raised her mouth, "What can I do if I am not happy? Have I said something for so many years?"

"I told you that you would have to confess when you were in high school, otherwise you might be successful after you confessed. What's the matter with Ruan Yan now?"

"But I know that Zhou Mengyan was not interested in me at the time..." She was afraid that she would be rejected after she confessed, even her friends could not make it.

"Do you know that women chase the men's compartment yarn? Even if you didn't like you at the time, you told him and let him know your mind, maybe he will slowly change his mind to you, you are a dull gourd." Zhao Yueqi knots.

"But it doesn't seem to make sense to say this. The only person standing next to him now is Ruan Yan."

"What are you inferior to Ruan Yan? In terms of family affairs, education, and ability, you are better than her. I think Zhou Mengyan is more worthy of you."

Zhong Zhanjing laughed at herself, "But I just envy her."

"What do you envy her?" Zhao Yue sneered, "They are just a business marriage. Is it possible for Zhou Mengyan to be serious? In fact, Ruan Yan is also quite pitiful. Isn't she the puppet of the two marriages? She lives in Zhou Mengyan. By your side, you can never get Zhou Mengyan's heart, so that you can live like years."

When Zhong Zhanjing heard the words, her heart was suddenly balanced.

Also, leaving aside the emptiness of marriage, aren't Ruan Yan and her also the same kind of people?

"But I think Zhou Mengyan treated Ruan Yan very well today..."

Zhong Zhanjing thought of the interaction between the two of them just now when they ate sweets, and felt inexplicably that there was a special affection between the two, and she didn't know if she thought too much.

Zhao Yue calmed her: "Don't think too much, I think Zhou Mengyan has no love cells. This is outside. His care for Ruan Yan is only out of identity etiquette. He will like Ruan Yan and I stand upside down. shampoo."

The two finally returned to the box.

The waiter brought tonight's food.

Ruan Yan wiped her hands with a hot towel. Because she couldn't see the dishes that came up, Zhou Mengyan put the dishes in her bowl and then told her what it was.

"Black pepper fat beef slippery eggs."

Ruan Yan took a sip, Zhou Mengyan looked at her reaction, "How?"

She nodded and raised her eyebrows, "This is so delicious..."

So Zhou Mengyan picked up the public chopsticks and then picked it up. Zhong Zhanjing saw that he liked to eat it, and helped him turn this dish in front of him, with a faint smile: "This is their signature dish, or is it good?"

"Ok."

At the next moment, Zhong Zhanjing saw Zhou Mengyan pick up a chopstick and put it in the Ruan Yan bowl.

Her face was stiff.

Zhong Zhanjing observed several dishes and found that Zhou Mengyan didn’t move his chopsticks much, but was helping Ruan Yan to prepare the dishes. She looked at these dishes for a long time, and basically picked them according to his appetite. Finally could not help but speak:

"Meng Yan, you help Ruan Yan clip, why don't you eat a little by yourself, is it not to your appetite?"

The man put down his chopsticks and said quietly: "It's okay, not very hungry."

"Sister Zhanjing, leave him alone, Zhou Mengyan is not interested in eating right now, and is more interested in other things, right?" Teng Heng raised his eyebrows.

Zhong Zhanjing: "What's the matter?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the waiter brought a dish and came over, "This is steamed king crab."

"Oh Huo, Da Cai, such a big king crab."

Teng Heng opened his five fingers excitedly, and Bai Xianyi laughed at him: "You love seafood the most among us. Sister Zhan Jing still pretends to be you."

"Sister Zhanjing is so good..."

Zhong Zhan smiled quietly: "You eat while it's hot."

Several people moved their chopsticks one after another. After finishing the clamping, they turned the disc in. The king crab turned in front of Zhou Mengyan. Zhong Zhanjing saw that Zhou Mengyan, who had never touched seafood, actually picked up a crab leg and put it on his plate. Start to pick out the crabmeat inside.

Zhong Zhanjing was shocked: "Meng Yan, don't you never eat seafood?"

Teng Heng and Bai Xianyi also looked over and were shocked, "Yes..."

They have known Zhou Mengyan for many years, and they all know that Zhou Mengyan has always disliked seafood, especially crab skin shrimp, which needs to be peeled by hand, because he hates the smell of seafood left on his hands, so he doesn’t even want to wear gloves. bump.

However, they now saw that Zhou Mengyan actually picked up the crab legs and began to peel and dig meat.

A few seconds later, the man dug a whole crab leg into a bowl, then put it in front of the girl beside him, his expression was flat: "For Ruan Yan."

Ruan Yan was slightly stunned.

Zhong Zhanjing was completely stunned.

A few seconds later, Teng Heng couldn't help but smile, "Oh, I'm going, some people are too sweet, so hurry up and help Ruan Yan to peel a little more. How can one be enough?"

Ruan Yanzheng took a bite of the crab meat. Hearing that his cheeks were red, he heard Zhou Mengyan's voice falling beside him: "You have to eat and tell me."

Ruan Yan buried his face: "Um, okay..."

Zhong Zhanjing looked at them, his hands under the table clenched his fists.

After three rounds of wine, the meal is coming to an end.After eating, Teng Heng proposed to go to the Jiangnan Club to sing in accordance with the original plan. Ruan Yan and Zhou Mengyan must go there.

So the group abducted to the Jiangnan Clubhouse.

Teng Heng booked a large box early in the morning. After everyone sat inside, Zhong Zhan walked out quietly.

In the box, Teng Heng asked Ruan Yan what song he wanted to sing, "Ruan Yan, you can order whatever you want, I am the king of Chinese singers. Okay, I can sing any song!"

Ruan Yan smiled, Zhou Mengyan beside him looked at Teng Heng: "Will you pollute my ears?"

"What is pollution! I don't like to listen to these words! I have never heard you sing. You may not be as good as I am? Ruan Yan, you point, I want to prove my strength today!"

"Then... Will Eason Chan's Unconditional?"

Teng Heng frowned, "Wow, do you like Cantonese songs?"

Ruan Yan nodded, "I like this song very much."

When she was in college, she often repeated singles in the dormitory alone.

Bai Xianyi complained: "You can't sing anymore, do you? You just want to be casual!"

"Forget it, or I'll come to another one first, a hot spot." Teng Heng looked at the door of the box, secretly made an OK gesture, and then the lights in the box suddenly dimmed in the next moment, and he sang--

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

At the door, Zhong Zhanjing pushed a cake with candles and walked in slowly with a smile on his face.

"Happy Birthday--"

After Teng Heng finished singing, he raised his chin to Zhou Mengyan:

"Zhou Mengyan, look at us, you still remember your birthday!"

Ruan Yan was stunned when he heard the words. Today is Zhou Mengyan's birthday?!

The man pulled Ruan Yan to his feet. Everyone gathered around the cake. Teng Heng smiled: "How about it, did you get a surprise? This was planned by Sister Zhan Jing. We didn't say anything at the dinner table just now."

Zhou Mengyan looked at him: "Thank you, except that the birthday song is ugly, the others are pretty good."

"Huh what do you mean!"

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Mengyan didn't do the wishing set, and directly blew the candles, and then Zhong Zhanjing took out the present prepared in advance, looked at him, and her heart swayed: "Meng Yan, happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Then Teng Heng took the knife to Zhou Mengyan and asked him to cut the first knife.After dividing the cake, Zhou Mengyan took a piece, and then sat back on the sofa with Ruan Yan and gave the cake to her.

Teng Heng went to open a few bottles of good wine, "Zhou Mengyan, today is your birthday, you can't drink it today."

Zhou Mengyan allowed them to add wine glasses, but did not refuse.

The box was lively, Zhong Zhanjing and Zhao Yue clicked on a song from time to time, and Teng Heng and Bai Xianyi also joined in.

Ruan Yan felt that Zhou Mengyan seemed to have drunk a lot, and he couldn't help drunk a little more fruit wine, feeling a little drunk.

After a while, she felt that she was drinking too much water, and finally said to the man beside her with a reddish cheek: "Can you take me to the bathroom?"

Zhou Mengyan got up and left the box with Ruan Yan.

Turning past the end of the promenade, the two turned to the bathroom. After Ruan Yan was done, he walked out, and the man waited for her at the door.

The two walked through the unmanned corridor and returned the same way. Ruan Yan thought about tonight's affairs, and felt a little guilt in his heart, "Meng Yan..."

The girl's voice was soft.

Hearing this, the man stopped.

He turned sideways, looking down at Ruan Yan with bright eyes and white teeth, his drunkenness aroused the emotions in his heart.

suddenly.

He has a strong urge to pull her into his arms.

In the next moment, he did not hesitate to follow the idea.

Before Ruan Yan spoke, she suddenly felt her waist/limbs wrapped around, and the man's body pressed up. She stepped back subconsciously and was pressed against the wall by Zhou Mengyan.

The strong male hormonal breath accompanied by the smell of alcohol suddenly filled her senses. Ruan Yan felt that her waist was tightly confined, and the man's arm was filled with constant heat, making her heart numb.

This was the first time Zhou Mengyan had such an intimate action with her outside.

Ruan Yan was stunned.

He, is he drunk...

Zhou Mengyan leaned down, put her petite in her arms better, looked at her, his eyes were shining|hot, and he said in a dumb voice:

"What did you tell me to do?"

As he spoke, the hot breath fell on her face, causing Ruan Yan to blush to the base of her neck and her heart beating fast.

She whispered, "I just want to... say happy birthday to you..."

Zhou Mengyan tilted her head and pressed her lips against her cool swan neck, like a prairie fire.

Ruan Yan's brain shook, and he heard his voice leak from his lips:

"What about the present for me."

The author has something to say: Mr. Zhou, isn't it just your birthday?

Ah.

There is still a chapter at 18:00 tonight, add it to 8000 words, this 150 red envelope, 25 words~

ps: I have a question that I would like to mention again. I saw some readers who said that he didn't like the younger uncle very much. He felt that the younger uncle had nothing to do with the marriage between the heroine and the heroine, and now I return to China for love. Babies of this idea are explained here:

1. My little uncle reacted. He was very angry when he heard the news. In my original first version of the story, he had a fight with the male protagonist, and hurried back to China to see the female protagonist, but at that time they received the certificate and the matter settled. , He can only accept.Later, because of the change of the text, I had to delete this plot (in fact, I simply mentioned two sentences in the wedding chapter). I didn’t write some plots, which doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. How could the younger uncle not care about the heroine, if he cares about the heroine Isn’t it good to take the heroine directly abroad?Then there is no more story behind.

2. The younger uncle and the male lead have been friends for 10 years, and the relationship is very good. He knows the character of the male lead.He gets angry at the marriage because he thinks this matter is too hasty, and he is also afraid of harm to the heroine.Of course he hopes that the two can truly love each other. He is not ridiculing when chasing his wife, but a ridicule between brothers. One is a brother and the other is a favorite niece. Imagine standing in the brother-in-law's point of view, would he try to sabotage??I don’t know if there is any baby who saw a detail. On the night when the male lead came to the resort to find the female lead, before the uncle went to the bathroom, he sent a message. In fact, the message was sent to the male lead. He deliberately walked away and gave it to the male lead. Make room

3. I know that some babies read the article very seriously, because I did not present the completeness of the story to everyone, my question, sorry, and I hope my explanation can clarify some readers’ misunderstandings about my uncle~

Good night!
