Chapter 25 025 I love you | Let's get married.

"They are obviously brothers, but the younger brother is so cute, while the older brother is weird..." Tang Sijia received a video from Lu Langzhou when she got home. When she talked about what happened this afternoon, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of Song Xiuren's last sentence, she always felt that his tone was like he was pointing at her in a roundabout way.

It was when Tang Sijia was sent to the entrance of the subway station by the driver of the Song family that she suddenly remembered why Song He's eldest brother, the man in the black shirt, looked so familiar.

She had met him at the charity dinner of Hansi Group, the president of Phantom Technology, Song Xiuren.

It is said that he started from scratch and developed several popular games, and his net worth soared.

Tang Sijia rarely played games, so she didn't pay much attention to these.

"Maybe you can also try to develop other projects." Lu Langzhou comforted slowly on the other side of the screen.

Tang Sijia paused, lying on the sofa, looking at the man on the screen: "I want to try again, Langzhou, Liu Bei had to visit me three times."

"I can see that Song He actually cares whether his work is really liked by others. I want to try it from him."

Lu Langzhou nodded in agreement: "If you feel unhappy, don't force yourself."

"Okay." Tang Sijia responded, and the two of them suddenly became quiet.

Thinking of the short trip that was broken today, Tang Sijia apologized again: "Langzhou, I'm sorry, because of my matter, the agreed trip was ruined."

"Haven't you apologized?" Lu Langzhou smiled, "Or do you want me, your boyfriend, to appear by your side now and tell you in person that I'm fine?"

Tang Sijia's heart was moved.

Perhaps the first time she took the initiative to undertake a project, she was directly rejected in person; perhaps since she was reminded of her status gap, she always had a natural escape from the upper-class people in the villa area. At this time, she felt a strong sense of loss in her heart, and she really wanted someone to accompany her.

But after thinking about it, she shook her head: "Forget it, your place is not close to here, and the traffic jam is serious now."

Lu Langzhou pondered for a while, and simply hugged Lulu over, facing the camera: "Then let Lulu come to comfort Sijia's mother."

Tang Sijia looked at Lulu's silly face when she was suddenly picked up, and couldn't help laughing.

There was a knock on the door, and the takeaway ordered by Tang Sijia arrived. She stood up and took the takeaway back.

"Sijia, why don't you wear socks?" Lu Langzhou was looking at her disapprovingly on the phone, "The weather has gradually turned cold in the past two days, and you will catch a cold."

Tang Sijia paused as she opened the bamboo chopsticks. For a second, the fragrant shredded chicken noodles in front of her seemed to have lost their taste.

She quickly reacted and smiled: "Okay, I'll wear them after dinner."

Lu Langzhou was satisfied, looking at the girl on the screen, and the hot mist of the shredded chicken noodles covered the camera with a layer of white filter.

He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Sijia, your birthday is on the 15th of next month. Have you planned how to celebrate it?"

Tang Sijia's birthday is November 15th, but she hasn't officially celebrated her birthday for many years since the car accident that year.

"Aren't you going to handle a divorce case during this period?" Tang Sijia put down her chopsticks and looked at her phone, "I heard that it's a famous internet celebrity couple."

According to the field of practice, Lu Langzhou handles the most civil cases, marriage and family, property inheritance, contract disputes, etc.

The divorce of a well-known couple can quickly make a young lawyer famous.

Lu Langzhou's smile paused, and then he said nonchalantly: "I didn't continue that case, but changed it to an infringement case. I will definitely be able to handle it before your birthday."

Tang Sijia looked at his expression and wanted to ask something, but Lu Langzhou interrupted her: "Do you remember the videos you collected?"

Tang Sijia was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

The video Lu Langzhou mentioned was a report that was posted in the work group when they were walking by the lake. She saved it and collected it. When she finished her walk and went to her collection list to look for the report, Lu Langzhou saw the video of his father secretly walking the dog that she had collected before.

He asked her why she collected it, and she just said embarrassedly that she thought the atmosphere was good.

Lu Langzhou didn't say anything at the time, but he didn't expect that he would remember it all the time.

"My parents have also seen the video of you teasing Lulu," Lu Langzhou smiled and looked at her seriously, "Sijia, do you want to celebrate your birthday with your family's family?"

Tang Sijia's breathing seemed to stagnate, and her eardrums were slightly agitated by the words "family's family". Fortunately, she was still rational and hesitated: "Is it too fast?"

"Fast?" Lu Langzhou remembered something and said with a smile, "After they knew about your existence, they wanted to clean the house eight hundred times every day, just to prevent me from suddenly attacking them."

Tang Sijia was puzzled: "What attack?"

"Bring your girlfriend home."

Tang Sijia's ears were slightly hot, and she finally couldn't say no.

That night, Tang Sijia had a rare dream.

In the dream, she returned to her birthday when she was eleven years old. She sat on the sofa, looking forward to her parents coming back with a cake.

Although her brother blew out the birthday candles first, she was still very happy to light the candles again and made a wish: I can have that big double-layer princess cake next year!

*

The days that followed seemed to suddenly speed up. Tang Sijia went to look for Song He again. This time, she didn't even see Song He. She was persuaded to leave by the housekeeper of the villa next door, saying, "The young master is not at home these days."

As the date approached her birthday, Tang Sijia became more and more uneasy, with many concerns in her heart.

What if Lu's father and mother don't like her?

She doesn't know how to get along with the elders, what should she do?

Even later, she began to worry about her clothes and makeup.

Until the evening of the day before her birthday, although she had agreed to go back to Lu's house on her birthday, Lu Langzhou still asked her to go to a Cantonese restaurant she had wanted to go to for a long time.

"After thinking about it, I still feel that the birthday girl can't spend it alone after midnight." Lu Langzhou said.

I thought it was just a world for two people, but I didn't expect to meet Manager Sun and the managers of several other departments and colleagues who were familiar but had never spoken to each other for dinner.

Manager Sun was very generous in private, and he called her over to introduce her to other managers one by one.

After Tang Sijia asked how it was, Manager Sun waved his hand and took out his phone: "I was just talking about you, it's just right, let's take a group photo with our proud employees," and then glanced at Lu Langzhou and teased, "Family members should also participate."

Tang Sijia's cheeks were hot, and before she could react, people around her had gathered around.

Her shoulders were warm, and a clean and slender hand was around her shoulders, and they took this group photo together.

Tang Sijia and Lu Langzhou drove back to the Lu family at ten o'clock the next morning.

The Lu family was in the neighboring province and city, and it took about an hour to get there after leaving Beijing.

Tang Sijia specially wore a dark blue dress today, put on a layer of light makeup, and bought a box of fruits and a box of nutritional supplements.

Before entering the Lu family, her heart was still pounding, but when Lu's mother opened the door with a smile, the tension in her heart seemed to disappear.

Lu Langzhou's mother is a community service worker. She has a good personality and is even more approachable. When she saw Tang Sijia, she held her hand and praised her beauty repeatedly, which made her cheeks blush.

Lu Langzhou's father is a department manager of a food company. He is a bit traditional and serious, but at this time he also squeezed out a smile in an unfamiliar way and said, "Sijia is here."

Tang Sijia nodded with a red face and called out, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Don't worry about him, he has such a cold face," Lu's mother waved her hand, took Tang Sijia and walked towards the living room, "I have always heard Langzhou talking about you on the phone, and he always said Sijia's words, and now I finally see you."

Tang Sijia glanced at Lu Langzhou quickly, and the latter shrugged helplessly.

Tang Sijia couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Perhaps because she had rarely been asked about family matters, Tang Sijia was not as impatient as many of her peers when asked by Lu's mother, such as her zodiac sign, whether she was busy or tired at work, and what university she attended. Instead, she was very curious and friendly, and answered them one by one. It was not

until Lu's mother went to the kitchen to serve the dishes that Lu Langzhou found an opportunity to sit next to Tang Sijia and whispered, "My sister is still in the dance troupe. I'll take you to see her during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay." Tang Sijia smiled and responded.

Lu Langzhou had told her a long time ago that he had an older sister who worked in a ballet troupe. She usually performed with the troupe all year round and only had a few days of rest during the Chinese New Year.

"You're just leaving for a while, and you're just talking to each other?" Lu's mother came out with a plate of dishes and said with a smile.

Tang Sijia's face became hot again.

Soon the dishes were served one after another, and there were nine dishes and one soup for four people.

"It's just perfect." Lu's mother said.

So there is such a saying.

Tang Sijia thought quietly.

"Oh no, I forgot to put vinegar in the cold dish..." Mother Lu was annoyed.

Lu Langzhou stood up: "I'll get it."

"By the way, where is Sijia from?" Seeing this, Mother Lu sat back in her seat, picked up a chicken leg for Tang Sijia, and asked casually.

"From Beijing."

"That's great," Mother Lu was surprised, "We have always wanted Langzhou to settle down in Beijing. In this way, Langzhou doesn't have to pay enough social security years to prepare a wedding house. Besides, now when people are filing divorce lawsuits, they don't want to find unmarried lawyers. They think that people who are not married don't understand marriage..."

"Mom." Lu Langzhou stepped forward and interrupted Mother Lu.

Mother Lu looked at him in confusion, then waved her hand and smiled: "I talk too much, Sijia, you should eat more meat."

"You are so thin, it makes people feel sorry for you..."

Tang Sijia responded softly, turned to look at Lu Langzhou, who had a slightly serious expression, and smiled at him: "Hurry up and eat."

Lu Langzhou looked at her smile, his expression gradually returned to his usual gentleness, and nodded.

At the end of this meal, Father Lu brought out a large two-layer cake, which was surrounded by a dreamy white mesh, and on it were two delicate lily branches and an exquisite girl doll.

It was just like what she wished for when she was a child.

The moment Tang Sijia saw the cake, she suddenly felt that happiness was right in front of her, and she could reach it with her hand.

"Happy birthday!" She heard the people around her say to her with a smile.

*

In Haicheng in November, the weather has begun to get cooler, the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and pedestrians hurried past on the road.

On the first floor of a skyscraper, near the end of the workday, an administrative receptionist was complaining about the hot and cold weather, while another person suddenly looked forward with a stunning look.

"Grace? Grace?" The receptionist looked in the direction of her gaze in confusion, and then her eyes visibly lit up.

He was a man who could be called handsome.

Although he didn't look very old, the aura between his eyebrows and eyes was enough to shock people.

He was wearing a well-cut custom-made suit and a dark tie. The dull suit couldn't cover the outline of his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His face was even whiter and thinner, and his eyes were an attractive dark blue, reflecting a dark light. It

was like an exquisite sculpture that was given a vivid life.

"Don't look at it. That's the young master of Hansi. Not everyone is worthy of him." Grace withdrew her gaze listlessly, thinking that she might never see such an exquisite person again.

Shi Chuan had just finished discussing cooperation with the president of the car company, walked out of the building, and sat in the back seat of the car. The partition slowly rose, blocking the increasingly indifferent face.

Shi Chuan supported his forehead with one hand, and gradually fell asleep in the occasional slight shaking.

As usual, he dreamed again, this time he dreamed of the day when Tang Sijia celebrated his birthday.

She held a cake, her cheeks shining warmly and holyly under the candlelight, and then she smiled brightly: "Make a wish quickly, Shi Chuan."

The next second, he was awakened by a burst of rapid ringing.

Shi Chuan opened his eyes, only to feel that his head hurt more. During this period of long-term and high-intensity work, the nerves in his brain were always tense, as if they would break in the next second. After

rubbing his temples, Shi Chuan took out his mobile phone. When he saw the reminder, he was stunned.

"Sister's birthday."

This was on the night of his birthday. In order to pretend to be well-behaved, he deliberately entered it in front of Tang Sijia.

November 15th.

Tang Sijia's birthday.

Shi Chuan tightly grasped the mobile phone, and his hand unconsciously opened the album, playing that video countless times - the only video.

Even in silent mode, he seemed to remember exactly what she was going to do and what she was going to say.

In the thirteenth second, she would turn around and ask him what he was doing.

In the eighteenth second, she would cover her face and reach out to grab his phone.

In the twenty-seventh second, she would smile and say: Don't take pictures of me, it's ugly...

During this period, they had no contact again, but based on Sun Zhi's work circle of friends that she posted several times a day, he could always infer what she was doing recently.

Sun Zhi posted a photo of the behind-the-scenes editing of a short play, which meant that her work was starting to get less busy.

Sun Zhi posted a photo of a dinner party, which meant that she would drink some wine tonight.

Sun Zhi posted the new book of the youngest son of the Song family, and sighed that she had to keep working hard, which meant...she wanted to get the copyright of Song He's new book.

Sometimes late at night, Shi Chuan would sit barefoot on the carpet and think that if Tang Sijia took the initiative to contact him at this time, he could help her get the authorization letter.

But sometimes, he couldn't help but think, why?

She didn't like him, and she didn't even say she liked him.

Even if he cheated on her, what if she hated him?

Instead of accepting the house he gave her and then having no contact from then on.

"Mr. Shi, we're here." The driver's voice came to his ears.

Shi Chuan came back to his senses, looking at the towering steel jungle outside the window and the bright lights lit in each grid, with a bit of boredom and disgust in his eyes.

After a long time, he opened the car door and walked into the elevator.

When he returned to the room, Shi Chuan received a call from Zhou Qing: "Chris, this time you chose visual inspection AI to cooperate with car companies to test the waters. Your grandmother is very happy for you. Tomorrow is the first time she will bring her grandchildren to meet friends in the business and political circles. Smile more and don't always have a stern face."

Shi Chuan responded indifferently.

"Also, I heard that the next step is to cooperate with a private hospital?" Zhou Qing asked again, his tone was a little serious, "The initial pilot is a high-end private hospital in Beijing?"

Shi Chuan paused, and then said calmly: "Yes."

"Why are you going back there again?" Zhou Qing was unhappy, "You haven't completely established your foothold here, and you want to go back and hide under the wings of your cold-blooded father? He will only suppress you and ignore you, just like the past eight years, you should..." On the other side

of the phone, he kept saying what he should do, and Shi Chuan's expression became more and more impatient.

Until he walked to the kitchen and looked at the red wine that the housekeeper had put in the ice bucket in advance, Shi Chuan suddenly couldn't help it and threw his mobile phone into the ice bucket.

The latest mobile phone flashed a few times in the ice water and completely went out.

It was finally quiet.

Holding a wine glass in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, Shi Chuan returned to the living room while pouring and drinking, stepped barefoot on the carpet, and sat on the floor as usual.

Putting the wine bottle on the coffee table, Shi Chuan took out the old mobile phone that never rang again, and sent a message to his assistant first: [Help me get a new Haicheng mobile phone card. ]

After a moment of hesitation, he remembered something, stood up and walked to the cloakroom, and came out with a rough black puppy doll in his hand.

He remembered that Tang Sijia's fingers were poked many times in order to hook this doll.

Shi Chuan couldn't help but curl his lips, habitually flipped out Sun Zhi's profile picture, and clicked into his circle of friends.

He posted very little today, only a photo of a dinner party.

Shi Chuan clicked on the photo, and the next second, the smile on the corner of his lips froze into ice inch by inch.

He stared at the woman who was squeezed in the middle, wearing a light green skirt, with a dark green bag across her body, revealing an almost shy smile.

And next to her, the annoying man was hugging her shoulders intimately.

It looked like she was leaning on his arms.

Shi Chuan stared expressionlessly at the hand on the woman's shoulder, the hand that had attracted Tang Sijia's attention in high school.

What are they doing?

Why is there no sense of distance?

William clearly said that they were just ordinary friends.

Why would ordinary friends hug each other?

Countless questions flashed through his mind, and Shi Chuan couldn't help but use more force...

"Hi! Shi Chuan!" A familiar gentle voice suddenly sounded from the doll in his hand.

Shi Chuan's fingers trembled, and he turned his head in a daze, staring into the eyes of the black puppy doll, whose belly was flashing with light.

"I don't know what you were doing when you heard these words. Were you just getting home from class? Or was it the night I was working overtime? Or was it a holiday when we were at home together?"

"Anyway, you discovered this little secret."

"If I'm around, remember to remind me to hide in the bedroom, because I'll only be able to listen to the next words once. Ps: That's the time I said these words."

"Huh - in fact, I rarely say such mushy words to people, but you are different."

"Shi Chuan, I'm very glad that I brought you home that night, and I'm also glad that I went to that hotel and picked you up."

"You are my family and the person I like."

"It seems that we have never said such words to each other."

"...Shi Chuan, thank you for coming."

"Also, I love you."

Shi Chuan stared at the doll blankly, and it was also looking at him.

At this moment, he seemed to see the pair of dark brown eyes, smiling at him.

I love you.

She said that she loved him.

Long ago, she had given him this sentence as a birthday gift.

Shi Chuan's hands were trembling slightly. He exhaled, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number without hesitation this time.

But the call could not be connected.

It could not be connected over and over again.

She blocked him.

And his other cell phone was in the ice bucket.

Shi Chuan staggered to his feet.

He wanted to hear her voice.

He wanted to talk to her.

He wanted to hug her and kiss her.

Wanted to make love with her.

He missed her.

Wanted to see her.

*

At the same time.

In the black Audi car heading to Beijing, Tang Sijia leaned against the window listlessly.

Perhaps because he had overdrawn his happiness all day, Tang Sijia's eyelids were drooping with sleepiness.

"Sijia." Lu Langzhou's voice sounded very softly.

Tang Sijia opened her eyes and looked at him.

Lu Langzhou stared at the front seriously, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Don't take what my mother said today to heart."

Tang Sijia remembered something and gradually lost her sleepiness: "Langzhou, the previous divorce case was suddenly given to someone else by the law firm. Is it because of your unmarried status?"

Lu Langzhou was about to deny it, and Tang Sijia said again: "I want to hear the truth."

Lu Langzhou was silent for a while, then smiled helplessly: "Now in civil cases such as marriage and property division, many clients generally prefer those who have families, have experienced married life, are older and have rich experience. Therefore, young unmarried lawyers cannot be considered the first choice for such cases."

Tang Sijia was silent for a few seconds: "Then do you want to settle down in Beijing?"

Lu Langzhou glanced at her: "Yes."

"But I can rely on myself..."

"Let's get married." Tang Sijia suddenly spoke.

The black car shook and slowly stopped by the roadside.

Lu Langzhou looked at her in astonishment.

Tang Sijia was also looking at him.

In the last hour of her birthday, she personally selected a family for herself.
