LiShuang was woken up by the ringing of the phone before she had slept for a full hour.
She touched her vibrating cell phone with a slight grumpiness.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, ShenYuci."
The man's voice was as smooth as jade, and as soft as the spring breeze blowing across the water, creating ripples.
LiShuang opened her eyes reluctantly: "ShenYuci?"
BaJie was absent-minded and spoke hurriedly.
[LiZeshou's original plan was to have the original owner marry ShenYuci, so you two have been close since childhood, but later ShenJi showed up and disrupted the situation, so you have less contact.]
LiShuang rubbed her head and sat up a little. She had a lot of alopecia on her head and her eyes were half open.
"Oh, it's you, how do you know my contact information?"
ShenYuci: "It's hard to track down, but that doesn't mean it can't be found."
LiShuang didn't hear any threat in his words.
"So what do you want from me?"
ShenYuci paused for a moment: "You seem to have really changed."
LiShuang rubbed her waist and sat down on the edge of the bed. Although she was not the LiShuang he knew, he still asked.
"Why do you say that?"
"Nothing, maybe Xiao Shuang has grown up." ShenYuci did not explain: "Would you like to have lunch together?"
BaJie: [ShenYuci didn't die in the book! ]
The implication is: You can hug my thigh!
LiShuang thought for a long time: "Where?"
ShenYuci: "Spring is not too late, the old master you like is about to retire, come and try it."
LiShuang opened the curtains and squinted her eyes: "Okay, see you at noon."
While she was washing her face, BaJie still couldn't figure it out.
[ShenJi and ShenYuci don't get along very well. Are you sure you want to take BaiZe to see him? ]
Although she wished she could cling to everyone in the city, she was afraid of being repelled.
LiShuang wiped the water droplets off her face. In the mirror was a cool and stunning face. She ignored the kiss mark on her neck and lowered her head to pick up the skin care products.
"ShenYuci came to me specifically, he must have a purpose."
BaJie: [If you go with a purpose, isn't that jumping into a fire pit? ]
LiShuang: [What should I do? Be a coward and hide in this villa for the rest of my life? Watch ShenJi's face for the rest of my life?]
BaJie couldn't understand why this host was so weird.
He wanted to lean against a big tree for shade, but he also wanted to escape from its control.
Finally, he sighed: [Don't blame me for not reminding you, you can only choose one between ShenYuci and ShenJi. ]
-
[Spring is Not Late] Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant, but it has a master chef who makes non-traditional pastries, who is loved by the original owner LiShuang.
LiShuang brought BaiZe and MaoAnan, but did not let them enter the private room.
Only ShenYuci was in the private room.
LiShuang walked over to the seat opposite him and sat down: "Let's chat before dinner."
ShenYuci smiled, lowered his eyes and lightly pushed his glasses.
"Uncle Li is very angry with you."
LiShuang picked up the cup, drank some water to moisten her throat, and looked at him.
Apart from his outstanding appearance, there is not a trace of stillness about him.
"You came to me about Mr. Shen's matter, right?"
ShenYuci looked at the woman in front of him through the lenses.
The LiShuang who used to not dare to look up at him and obediently called him Brother Shen would no longer look at him like this, nor would she speak to him like this.
He smiled and said, "You are not LiShuang, right? Haven't you heard that she has twins or had plastic surgery? Who are you?"
LiShuang withdrew her hand from the cup and looked at him with a smile.
"Do you need me to lend you a strand of hair for a paternity test?"
ShenYuci shook his head slowly, with a gentle smile on his face.
He pushed a document in front of her: "Take a look."
LiShuang turned to the first page and frowned.
"You want to marry me?"
ShenYuci picked up the cup and looked at her as a matter of course.
"If you were LiShuang, you wouldn't be surprised."
LiShuang closed the file without reading the following content.
ShenYuci stood up and quickly walked behind her, resting his palms on the table in front of her, and held her in his arms across the chair.
"Marry me, that was our original agreement, have you forgotten?"
LiShuang frowned: "Then what were you doing earlier? Guarding Li Zeshou again and again..."
"Wasn't that your own choice?" ShenYuci pinched her chin and made her look at him sideways.
LiShuang's back was stiff, and she looked into the man's deep eyes. Through the lenses, she felt a huge darkness covering her, making her breathless.
Even BaJie felt that it was a bit beyond the scope.
After all, the original owner, LiShuang, was such a pushover, and there was only so much public information about her. When did she have such an intimate agreement with ShenYuci?
ShenYuci narrowed his slender eyes slightly, lowered his head and moved closer, and LiShuang immediately turned her head away.
His fingertips missed, and he smiled and stood up behind her.
"Xiao Shuang, you have tried many things. If you can't do it, you can come back to me. I don't like to see you with him."
LiShuang thought a lot.
The original owner liked ShenYuci?
If you like someone, why would you climb into ShenJi's bed?
ShenYuci has a one-sided love for the original owner?
If he didn't know that the original owner was dead, how could he talk about the agreement?
"Boom boom boom—"
The waiter knocked on the door.
LiShuang came back to her senses, took the phone and stood up: "I won't eat."
ShenYuci still spoke gently with a smile when she passed by.
"I packed the pastries at the front desk. Take them with you when you leave. I'll wait for your reply."
LiShuang heard it but did not stop.
BaiZe and MaoAnan stood at the door and followed her out naturally without anyone saying the first word.
But LiShuang was already arguing fiercely with BaJie.
LiShuang: [Are you aiming for retirement with your professional skills? You don't know anything? ]
BaJie felt wronged: [We don't want to follow the plot, the main focus is to be a companion. Besides, I'm useless…]
LiShuang: [Then let me ask you what happened to ShenYuci? ]
BaJie hung his head: […I don't know.]
"Miss Li, your pastry."
LiShuang took it with a graceful and smooth movement, walked to the door, and placed it casually on the trash can.
BaiZe was in the passenger seat and MaoAnan was in the driver's seat.
BaiZe : "You will meet ShenYuci today, I will tell the Second Master."
LiShuang guessed that he was smart and would know who it was even without him saying anything, so she didn't respond.
MaoAnan tightened her grip on the steering wheel: "Where are we going now? Did we plan to go to the mall?"
LiShuang was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yeah."
She knew that going to the mall was not planned, and MaoAnan had something to say.
In less than forty minutes, LiShuang arrived at a clothing store and poked her head out of the fitting room: "An An, come and help me unzip my zipper."
MaoAnan wore a women's suit and left BaiZe to walk into the fitting room.
Before LiShuang asked, MaoAnan spoke first.
"The original plan failed?"
LiShuang was a little curious: "What plan?"
MaoAnan paused while zipping her up, took out her phone from her pocket, opened the small group chat of three people, flipped through it casually, and found the chat history for her.
Calculating the time, this was the message sent by the original owner before he went to plot against ShenJi.
LiShuang: I'm going to attend a cocktail party today.
LiShuang: If I succeed, I will be free in Jiangcheng!
Only Chuxi replied with a cute emoticon.
MaoAnan didn't know who she was here to see at first. She suddenly tightened the zipper with her hands, and her tone was a little sarcastic.
"Aren't you planning to become a phoenix? Why are you still entangled with the one from the Shen family? Have you rekindled your old love?"
Rekindled love?
LiShuang had forgotten that MaoAnan had known the original owner for a long time, and she looked at her very seriously.
"An An, I was in a car accident some time ago and some of my memory was damaged. Can you tell me what happened between me and ShenYuci?"
There was a faint scar on LiShuang's forehead, and she didn't look like she was lying. In the fitting room, MaoAnan kept the farthest distance from her and didn't bother to think too much.
"Who knows you? You said you liked him, but then you said you didn't want to be with him."
