Luo Yu cooked the noodles, finished eating, and cleaned the bowls and pans, but the cousin didn't come up yet. I couldn't see where my cousin was from the balcony, so she didn't bother to go downstairs.

It is estimated that a colleague came to connect with work, and he would not be safe during the holidays, just as miserable as her.

Half an hour later, the sound of unlocking the door finally sounded.

Luo Qi said nonchalantly, "Have you finished eating?"

"It's almost finished."

"..."

Luo Yu lay on the sofa and swiped her phone, glanced at her cousin, and frowned: "Are you crazy, you, you are going to wear so little? Why didn't you tell me, I will send you clothes."

Luo Qi wasn't cold, she was hugged so tightly by Jiang Shenghe for more than 20 minutes, and now her back was covered with sweat.

She changed her shoes and closed the door, so she could only lie to her cousin: "It's not cold when I'm in the car for work."

"Then it's cold when you get out of the car. Everyone is wearing sweaters, so you should wear a T-shirt." Luo Yu threw away her phone and went to pour hot water for her cousin, "It's hard to take a vacation, don't catch a cold."

"I'm not thirsty, I'm going to take a shower."

"Didn't you wash it?"

"...Cold, take a hot bath."

"Then turn up the temperature of the water a little bit, to flush out the cold air."

Luo Qi went into the bathroom, locked the door, fanned the wind with her hands, and her hair began to sweat.

When I got out of the shower, I looked at my phone the first time.

Jiang Shenghe sent her a few minutes ago: [I'm home, go to bed early. 】

Luo Qi wiped her hair with a towel in one hand, and typed a reply with the other hand: [Yeah. Good night Mr. Jiang. 】

【Good night. 】

"Sister, what are you laughing at? Share something interesting."

"Did I laugh?" Luo Qi exited the chat box.

"Yes. Mystified smile."

"..."

Luo Qi could only continue to lie: "I was reading Weibo comments."

Luo Yu occasionally stayed in the rental house, and put a few sets of clothes here, and she went to the bedroom to get her pajamas to take a bath.

Just now she sent a message asking if He Xu could take a leave of absence to go back to Sioux City, because her cousin is getting married.

He Xu didn't believe it at all, 【You're getting married, I'll give you leave. 】

Luo Yu was so angry that he almost blocked him. It was just a kiss, but he couldn't afford it. It's been a few days, but he still doesn't want to let go.

In the middle of the night, Luo Qi was kicked awake by her cousin, Luo Yu was still muttering:

"Why!"

"My old lady quit!"

Luo Qi patted her on the back, the long vacation was only for one day, no wonder she was deeply resentful.

The next day, Luo Qi asked Luo Yu if she still remembered what dream she had.

Luo Yu shook his head: "I don't have any impression."

In fact, she was so impressed that she dreamed of He Xu and kicked him twice.

After a simple breakfast, Luo Qi and her cousin went to the station, drove her car, and the cousin drove back in a while.

On the way, the two talked about the wedding of their aunt's cousin, and Luo Yu asked her if she wanted to attend.

The relationship between them and their cousin was not bad, and they played well when they were young, but later because of the relationship between adults, there was an imperceptible estrangement.

In fact, there is no major conflict, how to chat or how to chat when we meet, but we just can't get close.

Rocky said, "Go. Go with my mother."

It was already foreseeable that when the seven aunts and eight aunts got together that day, they would definitely ridicule her in front of their mother and compare her with their cousin.

Luo Yu regretted: "It's a pity I can't go back, otherwise I wouldn't beat them to death."

She was worried: "If they ask about the fake boyfriend in your circle of friends, what should you do? You'd better figure out how to deal with it first, and don't reveal the truth."

Luo Qi smiled, "Who said it's fake? It can't be true anymore."

Luo Yu didn't understand what her cousin was laughing at, so she followed suit.

She gave advice to her cousin: "Actually, it's easy to deal with fake ones, and you don't show your face in the circle of friends. You can blow him up as you like, and you can blow him into a rich man. If you are brave enough, just say it's your boss. It won't scare you to death." them."

"..."

Luo Yu chattered all the way, giving her various ideas.

When they arrived at the station, Luo Qi didn't let Luo Yu in. She took down the suitcase and asked Luo Yu to drive the car away.

Different from business trips, every time she takes business class, she grabs an ordinary ticket when she returns home.

Luo Qi pushed the suitcase into the station, and just walked a few steps, someone behind her called her: "Luo Qi."

"How did you come?"

"I said I would see you off today."

Jiang Shenghe took the box from her.

Today is colder than yesterday, so he added a coat.

He wears sunglasses, and no one can recognize him.

Luo Qi took another look, but he didn't realize that he wore sunglasses so stylishly before.

In the sea of ​​people, he accompanied her to wait for the ticket to get on the bus.

Jiang Shenghe took out a ring from his coat pocket, and put the ring box on the car.

"The ring is ready?" Luo Qi thought that the wedding ring he ordered had arrived.

Jiang Shenghe said: "Not yet. It may not be good next month. I just bought one first."

He took her hand and put it on her middle finger, "This is an engagement ring."

It was agreed that no expensive gifts could be given before the announcement, and the only thing he could give was the ring, so he had to give two more.

Luo Qi looked at the middle finger, this ring is not cheap.

But the ring is no better than other gifts, and she has to accept it.

When she arrived in Sioux City, her parents came to pick her up at the station, as if she had returned to the time when she was just in college. When she came back from abroad for vacation, her parents came to pick her up at the airport.

The father lost weight again, but looked in good spirits, and waved to her with a smile.

"dad."

It's been a long time since we saw each other, Luo Zhiqiu hugged his daughter, "Daddy will cook for you today."

Rocky smiled: "Okay."

The mother saw the ring on her hand at the first sight, "I bought it so realistically, it must have cost a lot of money. Mom paid for it, and the design fee for my last big project has arrived."

The parents knew that the boyfriend in her circle of friends was a shield, thinking that she bought the ring to deal with relatives at home.

Luo Qi deliberately asked: "Can the fake be confused with the real?"

Jiang Yifang: "I almost thought it was real." I knew my daughter didn't have that much money to buy the real thing, so I didn't think about it.

Rocky smiled and walked away with her mother's arms in both hands.

Jiang Yifang looked at her daughter's clothes, which were very thin, "Is it cold?"

"It's okay. After two days of warming up, it's not that thick."

Mother took her hand, which was cold, and squeezed it back and forth to warm her hand.

The house is still the same as before, crowded but clean.

The sofa cover was replaced with a new one, and a few houndstooth throw pillows were added.

There are new sheets on her bed, and the quilt has just been dried today.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival did not go to the uncle's house, and the three of them simply celebrated at home.

Neighbor Grandma Qian gave her some fresh meat mooncakes and picked some pomegranates for her.

After dinner in the evening, she took a mooncake and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to watch the moon on the stone bridge, and then I'll call our colleagues."

"Go."

Jiang Yifang called her daughter again: "You wait."

Worried about her daughter being cold, she wrapped the shawl around her daughter's shoulders, "This keeps the wind out."

Jiang Yifang cleaned up the kitchen, turned on the TV and watched the party with her husband.

It hadn't been this easy for them in years.

Luo Qi sent a message to Jiang Shenghe: [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 】

Jiang Shenghe's call came in quickly, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Yeah." She took a bite of the mooncake, "I just ate it. I'm eating fresh meat mooncakes."

Jiang Shenghe heard the sound of her eating, which was absolutely impossible before, she would not talk to him while eating.

"at home?"

"No." She said, "I'm looking at the moon outside."

"Where did you see that?"

"On the bridge east of our house. You probably don't know."

"I know."

Also walked, more than once.

Luo Qi walked to the bridge and leaned against the stone pillar of the bridge pier. This position is the best for viewing the moon.

"Mr. Jiang, have you been to my house?"

"Well, passing by."

There are several families living in the yard, and I don't know where her house faces.

Luo Qi: "Later, I'll bring you here to let you experience what it's like to live on the water. But my house is very crowded, and my room only has seven or eight square meters."

"It's okay, it's enough for the two of us."

I don't know why I mentioned living above.

There was a sudden awkwardness on the phone for a few seconds.

Jiang Shenghe changed the subject: "Isn't it cold on the bridge?"

"It's not cold, I wear a lot." Luo Qi said, "It's good to watch the moon on the bridge."

"What does it mean?"

"The stone bridge is safe."

She also mentioned in passing: "My neighbor, Grandma Qian, also said that when you get married, you will cross this bridge, and you will have a happy marriage and a happy life. Whether it's accurate or not, it's auspicious."

She said so much to divert the embarrassment just now.

Luo Qi heard Professor Liang's voice on the other end of the phone, and guessed that she had something to do with him.

"Mr. Jiang, then I will die." She said again: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Liang Zhen didn't know his son was on the phone, and thought he was smoking in the yard, and called him into the house to eat moon cakes.

Jiang Shenghe: "I'll make a call and go eat later."

Liang Zhen thought she was going to call Luo Qi, but she didn't bother, turned around and entered the room.

Jiang Shenghe entered a number on the screen and dialed it.

This is the first time in many years that he took the initiative to call his father.

It was the secretary who answered the phone, and it took a few minutes for the phone to reach my father.

Jiang's father heard that it was his youngest son's call, and suspected that the secretary had misread the note.

The eldest son and the second son often call, and the younger son has not called once for eight hundred years.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the youngest son said he was going on a business trip abroad, but it turned out that he found someone in the Jiang family to play cards.

Jiang's father was mentally prepared and answered the phone.

"Hey, Dad, have you had dinner yet?"

"......have eaten."

Usually full of energy, almost stuttered.

Father Jiang cleared his throat, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's all right. I'll give you a call because it's the holidays today."

Jiang's father was about to teach Nizi a lesson, but suddenly he misfired.

"Then you are busy, I hung up."

Jiang Shenghe had to bite the bullet and finish the call. If his mother hadn't proposed to work **** his own, he wouldn't have been able to compromise with his father.

On the day of her cousin's wedding, Luo Qi didn't sleep in and found suitable clothes to change into.

Jiang Yifang prepared several dishes for her daughter, which can be eaten after heating.

The door of the daughter's room opened, "Why don't you sleep more?"

Luo Qi rolled up her hair and went to wash, "I'll go to the wedding banquet with you."

Jiang Yifang not only wants others to see that her daughter is in good condition, but also worries that her daughter will feel hurt when she sees the wedding scene.

"You are at home, don't accompany me."

"It's fine at home."

Rocky went into the bathroom next to the kitchen, "Mom, don't worry, nothing can touch me. If I wanted to get married, I would have already."

Jiang Yifang couldn't forcefully stop her daughter from letting her go, "The wedding is at night, so you don't have to get up so early."

"Accompany you to go shopping and buy a new dress."

Jiang Yifang didn't buy it, but she couldn't hold back her daughter.

Luo Qi said: "Would you like to go, I will buy it by myself, and if you buy something that is not suitable, you can exchange it."

Luo Zhiqiu chimed in: "Just go shopping, there are activities during the holidays, so it's a good deal."

Luo Qi bought a set for each of her parents. In the evening, she drove her parents to the wedding banquet hotel in her father's car.

Cousin is immersed in happiness today, the more people come to the wedding, the happier she will be.

She hadn't contacted Luo Qi for more than half a year. Luo Qi retired, and she was busy with the wedding, so she was suspected of showing off if she contacted her.

"I wish you and your brother-in-law a long and happy life."

"Thank you Qibao." The cousin hugged her.

The cousin still has to welcome the guests, and Luo Qi and her parents enter the banquet hall.

The men and women hold a wedding ceremony together, the guests of the man's family sit on the left, and the relatives and friends of the woman's family sit on the right.

Luo Qi was regarded as an important relative of the bride, and her seat was in the front row, the table behind the main table.

No one expected Luo Qi to come.

The eldest aunt snorted coldly, without raising her eyelids.

She will remember the humiliation of that day forever.

Several aunts had very complicated feelings for Luo Qi. When she and Pei Shixiao were together, they wanted to cling to the Pei family's relationship, but they didn't want Luo Qi to live better than their own children.

Later, Luo Qi and Pei Shixiao broke up. Although they regretted that the relationship they could cling to was gone, they felt inexplicably relieved when they thought that Luo Qi did not marry Pei Shixiao.

The people at the table are basically in Luo Qi's blacklist, and they haven't been released yet.

Luo Qi only greeted her uncle, third uncle and third aunt, and ignored everyone else.

Third Aunt: "Xiao Yu troubles you every day, so don't spoil her."

"I'm the one who troubled Yu Bao. It's her who took care of me."

"Pull it down, she has been too lazy to die since she was a child, I don't know yet."

"..."

The most ruthless blow is from the mother's complaints.

Luo Qi chatted with the third aunt, picked up the water glass to drink water.

She forgot that she was wearing a diamond ring on her left hand, and when she remembered, she showed the ring in all directions.

But all the relatives who were blocked by her were furious.

Originally, they wanted to make some sarcasm in front of Jiang Yi, but now that Luo Qi came, they were worried that Luo Qi would turn her face in public, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

The second aunt didn't hold back: "Xiaoqi is engaged? I didn't hear from your parents. When is the treat? You have to give the red envelopes that should be given."

Luo Qi: "Okay, then let my dad cook a table of dishes tomorrow, and you will all go over then."

"..."

Such a big diamond should not be a fake, if it is faked today, if it is found out, it would be so embarrassing.

The second aunt held back her anger and wanted to ask clearly: "What does a boyfriend do?"

"There are too many industries involved, and I can't finish it all at once."

"...So it's still a big boss."

"yes."

The second aunt couldn't help being angry: "People who are so rich generally don't want to get married, and they will be forced by the family to find a well-matched one. You have to hurry up and don't be careless."

Luo Qi took a sip of warm water: "He is capable, the family doesn't care about him, and he is free to marry. He is different from others. He really wants to get married and has urged me several times."

The others were inexplicably angry when they heard it, and the second aunt was even more so angry that she rolled her eyes.

"Little Luo?"

The voice was very familiar.

Luo Qi hurriedly turned her face away, surprised: "He Dong."

She stood up, "Long time no see. What a coincidence."

He Wancheng was a classmate of the groom's father, and the two had the closest relationship when they were in school. Later, He Wancheng became the richest man in Sucheng. The company of the groom's father was neither big nor small. The social status of the two was very different, and their contact became less and less.

However, He Wancheng misses the past, and also gives face to his old classmate. When he learns that his old classmate's son is getting married, he comes to attend the wedding in person.

The groom's father was excited and moved, but none of the people who came to the wedding banquet today was worthy enough to accompany He Wancheng for a drink, and was worrying about who to accompany him at the main table. Unexpectedly, He Wancheng met an acquaintance and finally relieved his urgent need.

He Wancheng smiled and asked Luo Qi: "Didn't you bring your boyfriend back?"

After all, Luo Qi officially announced her boyfriend in the circle of friends, Luo Qi had to admit it, and said openly: "He is abroad recently." Then he said a scene: "I will visit you when I have a chance."

"You are welcome at any time. I originally wanted to wait for him to be free and ask him to meet."

"..."

Luo Qi was suddenly not sure how much He Wancheng knew.

"Come on, go to my table, I don't know them well."

"good."

Luo Qi brought the water glass, took the bag and moved it to the main table of the man's house.

The aunt and a few aunts originally looked down on Luo Qi's boyfriend, thinking that Luo Qi was bragging, but the richest man in Su City always makes appointments with people, so there must be a lot of reason behind it.

I spent money on a wedding banquet, but ended up getting **** off.

Luo Qi sat over and whispered to He Wancheng, "Director He knows my boyfriend?"

He Wancheng did not practice Tai Chi, "I like calligraphy and painting, and I have known Teacher Yu for more than 20 years. I asked, and Teacher Yu only painted an oil painting for one person this year, and that oil painting is in your circle of friends."

I see.

It seems that they only know that the person in the oil painting is Jiang Shenghe, but they don't know that they got the certificate.

Luo Qi's hanging heart was relieved.

He Wancheng joked: "I didn't expect him to make friends out of nothing." He said that he had a friend who wanted to chase Luo Qi.

Luo Qi smiled, and congratulated Wan Cheng with a water glass: "I will punish myself first, and I will replace it with wine later."

The meal was very comfortable, and thanks to He Wancheng, the relatives of the groom's family tonight toasted her several times alone, and even the groom's parents came to pay their respects to her.

With her around, the relatives in the family didn't dare to say anything or nothing to add to my mother's troubles.

It was almost nine o'clock before the wedding banquet ended.

It was Luo Zhiqiu who was driving the car back home, he hadn't had a single drink tonight, he was in poor health and was hospitalized, no one persuaded him to drink anymore.

Jiang Yifang was puzzled all night, at one moment he felt that his daughter hadn't talked about it, and at another moment he was denied by himself. He Wancheng would not lie for his daughter. Firstly, he didn't have that much free time, and secondly, his daughter didn't have that much face.

"Tell the truth to mom, do you have a boyfriend? Even if you do, mom won't urge you to get married, as long as you are happy."

There are some things that cannot be kept secret forever, Luo Qi decided to reveal a little bit first: "There is."

"...What does it mean to have? Still chasing you?"

"We are together, and we are still in the running-in period. When the running-in period passes, I will take him home."

Jiang Yifang rubbed her daughter's head, "You lied to me that the ring was fake, I really believed it."

No wonder her daughter is in good condition, she said with relief: "Don't rush to take it home to show us, first get along well. Can you ask, how old is he this year?"

"Two years older than me, from Beijing. You and Dad will definitely like him. He treats me very well."

The smile in the corner of Luo Zhiqiu's eyes widened, and he didn't ask any more questions.

Luo Qi's phone vibrated, Jiang Shenghe heard the news, and asked her: 【Still at the wedding banquet? 】

[It's gone, on the way home. 】

Jiang Shenghe: [I'm at a car repair shop, find a convenient place to get off, and I'll pick you up. 】

【Have you arrived in Sioux City? 】

[Well, it will be in the afternoon. 】

【Professor Liang came here with you? 】

[No, my mother has something to do, come here tomorrow, I will be one day earlier. 】

Jiang Shenghe asked again: [Where is the best place for you to get off? 】

Luo Qi: 【It's at the car repair shop, it's the same way to go home if you go there. 】

Luo Qi told her father to take the road in front of the school to go home. She was going to find Teacher Lu and told them who Teacher Lu was in detail.

Jiang Yifang remembered the owner of the car repair shop in front of the school. He used to feel sorry for the owner's daughter who couldn't speak.

Luo Qi said: "Ms. Lu is our President Jiang's friend. If you have something to talk to me, I will have a supper with the couple."

The supper was made up by her now, and she may actually go to have a supper later.

Ten minutes later, she arrived at the gate of the school. Luo Qi got out of the car and called Jiang Shenghe, "President Jiang, I'm here."

Jiang Shenghe: "Did you see my car?"

Luo Qi turned around, looked around, and saw a familiar off-road vehicle approaching.

There was only Jiang Shenghe in the car, and Luo Qi sat in the passenger seat, "Where's Teacher Lu?"

"Going home, his child is asleep." Jiang Shenghe asked her: "Would you like to have supper?"

"I can't eat it." She talked about meeting He Wancheng at the wedding banquet and sitting at the same table with him, "He knows that you asked Teacher Yu to paint that oil painting."

Jiang Shenghe: "I didn't ask Mr. Yu to deliberately conceal it, it's normal to find out."

"Mr. Jiang, where do you want to go? I'll drive."

"No. I'm still staying in the previous hotel, and I'm familiar with the nearby roads."

Didn't turn around, just drove back.

He just met her, and her parents would worry if it was too late.

When they got near Luo Qi's house, the car couldn't go in, so they got off at the convenience store.

She met Jiang Shenghe once by chance here.

She came to Sioux City on business in June last year, and she was not his assistant yet. Early that morning, she went to buy breakfast for her mother, and also bought a bunch of sunflowers. It was at the door of this convenience store that she met Jiang Shenghe, who was jogging in the morning, and he bought water from the convenience store.

She was going to try on a wedding dress that morning, and he asked her about the wedding date.

I don't know how he said the word 'congratulations' at that time.

Next to the convenience store is a flower shop, which is still open.

Jiang Shenghe asked her: "Do you like sunflowers or Aunt Jiang?"

Luo Qi recovered, "My mother likes it, the house is too monotonous."

"Then I'll buy a bunch and you bring it to Aunt Jiang."

"Don't buy too much, my mother will feel sorry for spending money indiscriminately."

Jiang Shenghe asked the boss to pack six flowers, which cost tens of dollars, a small and delicate bunch.

Holding Luo Qi in her arms, she walked slowly home side by side with Jiang Shenghe.

"Boss Jiang."

No hugs, no holding hands, it's not a foul for her to call him that.

Jiang Shenghe looked at her sideways, "What's the matter?"

Luo Qi exchanged glances with him, then looked back at the road ahead, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"No entertainment or other arrangements, time is at your disposal."

In this case, it would be difficult for Luo Qi to answer, so she simply kept quiet and did not respond.

Seeing her silence, Jiang Shenghe said, "I will take you to another house tomorrow. It will be our wedding room, and we will live there on the wedding day. If you don't like the original decoration style, ask Aunt Jiang to redesign it."

"...How many houses did you buy in Sioux City?"

"Not many sets."

Actually a lot.

Chatting, unknowingly walked to the stone bridge.

Just as Luo Qi was about to step up the steps of the stone bridge, she was grabbed by Jiang Shenghe.

"What's wrong?" Luo Qi almost lost her footing and stepped back on him.

Jiang Shenghe unbuttoned his suit with one hand, leaned over, tightened her waist, and hugged her princess.

Being caught off guard by him, Luo Qi's heart jumped into her throat.

He looked at her and said, "I didn't carry you across the stone bridge on the day I got the certificate. I'll make up for it today."

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she said that getting married and walking across the stone bridge would lead to a lifetime of happiness, but she just said that in passing, but she didn't expect him to remember it in her heart.

Luo Qi couldn't help but grabbed the suit on his shoulders, but pretended to be calm.

When they reached the middle of the bridge, Jiang Shenghe asked her, "Where did you watch the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival night?"

Luo Qi still remembered: "The second stone pillar under the bridge."

Jiang Shenghe stabilized his center of gravity when he descended the steps, and stopped before the second stone pillar.

Luo Qi didn't want to understand what he was going to do, looked at him, didn't see the deep outline clearly, and kissed her with a clear breath, falling on her lips.

"I'll carry you across the stone bridge again on the wedding day."

Strong yet gentle.

Powerful and manly.

All bewitched her.

On the night of the proposal, she owed him a kiss.

Jiang Shenghe didn't kiss deeply, and when she kissed and was about to leave, she pressed his lips.

The warm breath intertwined again.

She lightly sucked on his lips, then quickly retreated, turning her head to look at the streetlights beside the bridge.

Jiang Shenghe looked calm, but his Adam's apple rolled back and forth, and he went to the bridge and put her down.

Luo Qi stood up straight, not knowing how to break this ambiguous silence for a while.

Jiang Shenghe didn't say anything, the bouquet of sunflowers in her arms was squeezed just now, and the bouquet was a bit deformed, so he tidied it up.

Luo Qi still didn't look at him, at a loss.

She gave him the flowers, Jiang Shenghe tacitly didn't ask her what she was going to do, Luo Qi raised her hand, looped it over the outside of his suit, and gently clasped his strong waist.

"President Jiang, see you tomorrow."

"Well. I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning." Jiang Shenghe took her into his arms again and hugged her for a while longer.
