Yuan Ye was surprised, and Zhou Li was also surprised that Fu Xiaozhi would bring Jiang Mingzhu over.
Fu Xiaozhi's temperament is notoriously difficult to get along with. Over the years, all the friends around her are the same group of friends she met when she was a child.
Fu Xiaozhi was arrogant and rarely liked anyone, but he took great care of Jiang Mingzhu and looked like he was protecting her.
Cao Cao was about to arrive when he said Cao Cao. Fu Xiaozhi and Jiang Mingzhu had already come over. The two of them sat in front of the dessert table and shared a piece of cake.
Yuanye: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you two are already so good?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "What, do you have any objections?"
Yuanye: "How dare I?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "I'm sorry you don't dare. Let me tell you Yuanye, I am the one who protects the pearl. If you dare to be sorry to her, I will destroy you."
Fu Xiaozhi made a fake gesture of strangling someone's neck, which made Yuanye feel a chill down his back.
Others may say this as a joke, but Fu Xiaozhi is definitely not. She has been good at fighting since she was a child. Yuan Ye challenged her several times when she was a child, and lost miserably each time, leaving a big psychological shadow.
Yuanye: "A gentleman should talk but not take action. As an adult, stop hitting and killing at every turn."
Jiang Mingzhu felt that Yuanye was a bit timid like this, so she raised her eyebrows playfully.
Fu Xiaozhi began to reveal to Jiang Mingzhu the embarrassing things that Yuanye did when he was a child, "Yuanye fought with me before and lost to me every time. One time I beat him so much that he called me daddy."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Pfft..."
The embarrassing story of Chen Zhizhi and rotten millet was revealed, and Yuanye was humiliated. "Miss Fu, please don't mention the past again."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Are you afraid that Mingzhu will dislike you?"
Jiang Mingzhu smiled and said, "I don't mind it, it's quite fun."
The three of them were talking to each other, and Zhou Li was the one who was completely ignored.
When he heard Jiang Mingzhu say "I don't mind", Zhou Li squeezed the cup in his hand tightly, his black pupils filled with a dangerous aura.
"Zhou Li." Zhan Yubai's voice came from behind.
Zhou Li quickly adjusted his expression and returned to his usual calm look, while Zhan Yubai came up and took his arm.
Fu Xiaozhi rolled his eyes when he saw this scene, but did not directly curse like before.
Zhan Yubai: "I've been looking for you for a long time. Where have you been?"
Zhou Li: "I received a call from the rooftop."
Zhan Yubai: "No wonder."
Zhou Li: "Let's go and have a look over there."
Zhan Yubai cooperated very well and went forward with Zhou Li on his arm.
After walking a few steps, Zhan Yubai chatted with Zhou Li, "Tell me, how did Mingzhu and Yuanye get together? It was so sudden."
Zhou Li: "I don't know."
Zhan Yubai: "Mingzhu is really charming, and neither Yanqing nor Yuanye can escape it."
Zhou Li simply stopped answering this time.
When Zhan Yubai saw Zhou Li's lips stretched into a line, he wisely shut up.
——
Mr. Fu's birthday ended at around nine o'clock.
As a "girlfriend", Jiang Mingzhu must go with Yuan Ye.
Fu Xiaozhi sent the two of them to the basement, and before leaving, she told Yuanye, "Send them back safely."
Yuan Ye: "Okay, do you still need to worry about my girlfriend?"
The Yuanye side was originally meant to deal with Fu Xiaozhi's words, but who knew that after saying that, he saw Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai opposite.
I don't know when these two people came.
Yuan Ye went to take a look at Zhou Li, and sure enough, his face turned dark again.
Yuanye had a terrible headache. If he had known that there would be so many chain reactions at the hospital, he would definitely not have used Jiang Mingzhu as a shield.
When he turned around, he was tortured by Zhou Li again.
Jiang Mingzhu changed her mind to watching a show. She smiled and took Yuan Ye's arm, "Let's go."
Yuanye: "..."
The two walked to the car, and Jiang Mingzhu threw the keys to Yuan Ye.
Yuan Ye quickly got into the car and drove the car out of the basement first.
Jiang Mingzhu found it funny when she saw Yuan Ye like this, "It's not that serious, you are so afraid of him."
Yuanye: "Aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "You are so afraid of him that you want me to be your shield."
Yuan Ye: "So now I regret it to death."
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's too late."
Yuan Ye: "Did you do it on purpose just now?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "You just found out?"
Yuanye: "..."
Xu Siyan was right, Jiang Mingzhu was indeed a scheming woman.
Yuanye's speechless look was even funnier. Jiang Mingzhu didn't hide herself and smiled proudly.
A few minutes later, a text message suddenly came into the phone, which was a series of addresses.
Jiang Mingzhu recognized it immediately. This was the manor Zhou Li took her to last time on her "birthday".
The address was followed by: [Wait for me in the past]
It's crisp and clear, with no punctuation marks.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't reply to the text message. She put down her phone and said to Yuanye, "Please park the car on the side of the road in a moment."
Yuan Ye: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'll drive it myself."
Yuanye: "...Didn't you ask me to take you back?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I was cooperating with you in acting. We are not familiar with each other, so why did I let you give it away?"
Yuanye: "..."
What a woman who burns bridges when crossing rivers.
Yuan Ye felt aggrieved for a while, but had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road.
Jiang Mingzhu changed to the driver's seat. Before driving, she lowered the window and waved to Yuanye, "Bye bye~"
Yuan Ye's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a few more seconds. He stared intently at the Cayenne walking away, and was shocked.
——
Jiang Mingzhu arrived after driving for half an hour.
The door to the manor had a fingerprint lock. She couldn't open the door, so she sat in the car and waited for Zhou Li to come.
Zhou Li arrived around 10:30, and he changed cars. Jiang Mingzhu got out of the car to look for him after recognizing the license plate.
Zhou Li opened the door and took her in. He didn't say anything until he entered the living room.
When Jiang Mingzhu was changing her shoes, she found that there were new women's slippers in the shoe cabinet.
"Is this for me?" she asked with a smile.
Zhou Li's indifference has become the norm. Jiang Mingzhu has long been used to it. She changed her shoes and sat down next to him, leaning into his arms like a kitten.
"I'm so happy." Jiang Mingzhu nestled in his arms, "My brother actually left his fiancée and came to find me."
Zhou Li: "Find a time to make it clear to Fu Xiaozhi."
Jiang Mingzhu: "What did you say?"
Zhou Li: "Do you want to be Yuanye's girlfriend forever?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "So sour."
"But this matter is really difficult to handle." Jiang Mingzhu was embarrassed, "If she asked me why I lied to her, how could I explain it? I can't say that I was afraid that she would find out that I was the one you raised outside, so I cheated on her. Are you using a grudge as a shield?"
"I am not as lucky as Miss Zhan. I have a future mother-in-law to support her." At this point, Jiang Mingzhu's tone was filled with grievances, as if she was a pitiful little person who was not loved.
Zhou Li stared at her without saying a word.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Are you going to have an engagement ceremony?"
Zhou Li: "What?"
Jiang Mingzhu puffed her lips, "It will really be an affair from now on."
This tone sounded a bit unconvinced.
Zhou Li: "Don't you just like to have fun?"
Jiang Mingzhu's beautiful eyes flashed with a smile, and she sat across Zhou Li's legs, her lips searching for his ears, "Brother, do you want to play with me?"
