"Although I don't agree with drinking too much wine, I have to say that the Maotai you brought does taste good.
Ivanlev actually drank a lot last night and almost became drunk. "
In the hotel room, Karenina was helping Zhao Jishan pack clothes, chatting while moving.
"If he likes it, I'll bring some over next time." Zhao Jishan stood by the window and looked at her quietly.
Time is not forgiving, and he vaguely remembered the scene when the two met, when she was only a twenty-year-old girl.
Youth, beauty, liveliness, all the beautiful words can be embedded in her body.
Now it seems that more than twenty years have passed. Although she has taken excellent care of herself and has undergone long-term physical training, her figure is still impressive.
But the years still left traces on her face.
Subconsciously, he sighed.
This inexplicable sigh was heard by Karen Lena. She put the folded clothes into the gift bag, then turned around and walked to Zhao Jishan, stretched out her arms and hugged him.
"My dear, why do you feel so sad all of a sudden?"
Zhao Jishan held up her face and stroked it gently: "We are no longer young! But we are still like this, Karenina, I can't help you."
"No! I've never regretted it."
Karenina came forward and kissed him, looked at him affectionately and said, "It's not our fault. It can only be said that we were born in that era. But at least we spend more time seeing each other now than before, right?"
Everything is changing for the better!
Our future will be better!"
Listening to his wife's affectionate words, Zhao Jishan was extremely moved and hugged her tightly.
It was this woman who followed him without hesitation and even gave birth to Yimo for herself!
I owe her!
I hope everything will be as Li Xiucheng said, everything will get better, and let myself make up for these regrets.
Feeling the rare expression of affection from a man, Karenina leaned in his broad and warm embrace in a daze, and her usual loneliness and pain all turned into nothingness at this moment.
a long time.
Tuk Tuk ~
A moderate knock on the door woke the two of them up. They pushed Zhao Jishan away and Karenina stepped forward to open the door: "It must be Yimo and the others. I also said... Li?"
Seeing Li Xiucheng standing at the door, she said in surprise: "When we came back, the bodyguard said that you were out on business!"
"Yes, I just came back." Li Xiucheng smiled politely at her, and then said to Zhao Jishan, who was walking over: "I have something to tell Brother Shan, so I came over so I won't disturb you."
Zhao Jishan said hurriedly: "No, no, come in, come in and talk."
"No, it's just a few words. After that, I'm going to make some phone calls."
Li Xiucheng waved his hand to refuse, and then told him about Boris's invitation to attend the banquet in the evening.
Zhao Jishan stared and blurted out: "Paulis took the initiative to invite me to the family dinner?"
"Yes!"
"Including Ivanlev will also participate?"
"Ivan Lev?" Li Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, then remembered that it was Karen Lena's old father, and smiled: "I think so!"
"this..."
"It's incredible."
The couple looked at each other, obviously shocked by the news.
You must know that although Zhao Jishan and Ivanlev have met several times over the years, it was always he who took the initiative to visit the Khrenkov family. In this way, the other party never gave him a good look. After staying for a while, he Being seen off.
Now Boris actually took the initiative to invite them to the banquet. This...
It was as if the sun was shining in the west.
After the shock, Zhao Jishan also realized that this was all Li Xiucheng's fault, and Boris invited him because of Li Xiucheng's face.
But anyway, this is a good start.
He said excitedly: "Brother Li, thank you, thank you."
"You're welcome. What I said always counts." Li Xiucheng didn't want to see a grown man burst into tears with gratitude, so he smiled and said, "Let's go over together tonight so I won't disturb the sweet time you two have."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned around to leave.
Seeing Li Xiucheng leave, Karenina closed the door, hugged Zhao Jishan and said in surprise: "Oh, I heard Yimo told you about your agreement, but I didn't expect that it has taken effect in just a few days. This Li is really amazing." Got it!"
Stroking Karen Lena's hair, Zhao Jishan said with certainty: "Of course, I have met many big people, but Li is definitely the most capable one among them!"
Karena knew Zhao Jishan, and it was not easy for him to comment so highly on someone.
Bang bang bang~
Just as he was talking, the door was knocked again, but the rhythm was the opposite of the soothing one before. The two of them shouted in unison: "It's Yimo."
After calling, the two looked at each other, smiled, and opened the door.
The door of the room was wide open, and Zhao Yimo and Zhao Xueyao were standing at the door.
Seeing the two people holding hands together, Zhao Yimo said in disgust: "I shouldn't have come back to disturb you!"
Karenina didn't care at all, but smiled and said: "Yimo, Shan and I are going to your grandpa's house for a banquet tonight."
"Really or not?" Zhao Yimo opened his mouth wide and was not happy but surprised. In his memory, his father only went to Khrenkov's house a few times, and every time he went, it was very unpleasant.
"Why did you decide so suddenly to visit grandpa?"
"It wasn't us, it was your Uncle Paulis who took the initiative to invite us."
"How is this possible?" Zhao Yimo expressed disbelief.
"Haha, all this is due to Li, just now..."
Karenina quickly recounted what had just happened, and Zhao Yimo said in surprise: "Okay, Li Xiucheng is great, I was wrong."
Zhao Xueyao also nodded and smiled: "Yes, he has always had great ideas. Sister-in-law, just listen to him."
Karenina was in a very good mood at this time. When she saw both of them praising Li Xiucheng, she joked: "Such a man is rare!
Yimo, you are now old enough, have you ever considered developing a romantic relationship with Li? "
Zhao Yimo: "...."
Rarely, her face turned red for a while, and she was too guilty to look at Zhao Xueyao, and slapped Karenina in disapproval: "What are you talking about, mom!
She has a wife...and a sweetheart, we are just ordinary friends. "
"What does it matter? If you like her, you have to fight for it." Karenina looked disapproving and said to Zhao Xueyao with a smile on her face: "That's right, Xueyao."
Zhao Xueyao was embarrassed and wanted to dig into the ground with her toes and get in. However, facing Karenina's expectant gaze, she could only nod with a stiff face.
Then Zhao Yimo bared his teeth to show his dissatisfaction!
Li Xiucheng didn't know that he had become the target of Karen Lena's arrangement. After going downstairs, he went directly to make a phone call.
This time, instead of complaining about lovesickness to Su Xiaomeng, she called Hu Yingmei directly.
