Chapter 4 Chapter 3

Xie's Garden. poolside. There is a flower pavilion. On the white flower pavilion, there are dense rose vines climbing.Numerous dark green leaves, surrounded by white roses in the shining sunlight, are in full bloom, holy and beautiful, and look like a waterfall of flowers cascading down from a distance. Covered by the flowers and leaves of white roses. The pavilion is extremely cool. Ye Ying was sitting on the stone bench, finely peeling an apple in his hand.A gust of wind blew in with the fragrance of roses. At this moment, she felt that the world was extremely quiet.Cutting the apple into small pieces, she brought it to his lips with a silver fork, looked at him softly and said:

"Eat something?" Yue Xuan sat quietly in the wheelchair. His recovery speed exceeded everyone's imagination, but it took less than a month. Although he was still paralyzed from the chest down, his neck and hands could move, and he could even sit up occasionally. Today he was outside for the first time since his injury. The lips were still pale. Looking back from the water surface of the swimming pool, Yue Xuan glanced at her slowly, she was as docile as a kitten, snuggled up beside him, she smiled with crooked brows and rolling eyes, holding up the sliced ​​apple , as if he would be stubborn until he waited for him to eat it.

He parted his lips slightly. Slowly ate it, and the next few chunks. "It's so kind of you." Ye Ying smiled like a contented kitten. She lay down on her knees, and with extremely light force, she gently snuggled up to his legs covered with a thin blanket, looked at him brightly and said: "Seeing you get better little by little, like a miracle, my heart is full, so full that it is about to overflow, I have never been so happy. You are like a century-old tree, even if you The vicissitudes of life are bleak, but when the spring breeze comes, the vitality between the branches and leaves is so tenacious."

Her eyes are smiling. looking at him. Her beautiful cheek gently rubbed against his knee. "Does it have something to do with me?" Her eyes were soft and charming, she leaned on his knees and looked at him, secretly holding his cold fingers presumptuously, "Can I think affectionately that I am that spring breeze?" , it is because of me that you can recover so quickly." Yue Xuan looked indifferent. He silently looked at the pool in front of him. It was as if he hadn't heard what she was saying. "You..." In the scent of white roses, Ye Ying sighed softly.But she was not depressed, because his fingers were still in her palm, cold and pale fingers, the mottled sunlight from the rose vines reflected his fingers as if they were carved from cold jade.

fiddling with his fingers. Her eyelashes drooped low. "How I wish you could fall in love with me." She lowered her head and kissed his cold fingertips lightly, her eyelashes were black and dark, and said in a low voice: "In this way, you may be willing to help me realize my long-cherished dream. The water surface of the swimming pool reflects the sparkling waves. In the pavilion of white roses. Yue Xuan frowned slightly. The exhaustion all over the sky obliterated him, that kind of fatigue was as cold as the tide in the middle of the night, and he took his hand away from her warm lips.

Empty palms. Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, she looked at Yuexuan, and after a while, there was a bitter smile on the corner of her lips: "You see, I have never concealed it. I have known who you are from the very beginning when I approached you, and it was also from the very beginning , I told you, my dream." "I hope to be successful." She bit her lip, stared at him and said: "I hope you can give me a chance to succeed. I want to be a fashion designer. I don't want to start from the bottom in obscurity. I hope to stand at a high starting point from the very beginning. I want to take shortcuts, Maybe you think I'm too much, but..."

She paused. "Yes, I did have some other purpose when I approached you at first. But," her chest rose and fell slightly, "but, it's different now." "You saved me." Back to the moment when the white light exploded in my mind, the car slammed into the guardrail on the side of the road, and flew out black and dizzy. It was he who protected her with all his strength, and pressed her tightly into his arms. For a moment, she had his clear breath in her nostrils. "So, I was only slightly injured, and you were so badly injured." Ye Ying smiled wryly.

"I didn't want to say this. I'm afraid you will feel that I stayed by your side because I wanted to repay my kindness. " Holding the wheelchair tightly with his fingers, Yue Xuan frowned and breathed. "...but I am entitled to do so." Yue Xuan's face was pale and thin. . Among the hanging white rose vines, he silently looked at the swimming pool in front of him. The afternoon sun was still strong, and the water sparkled. Miss Ye, I will arrange for you to leave tomorrow. " After a long time, Yue Xuan said calmly, his breath was still weak, but there was no room for turning his tone.

"You took care of me during this time, Xie Ping will give you a reasonable salary. As for whether you are qualified to become a fashion designer, please send your resume and works to the group." He coughed hoarsely for a while. Yue Xuan closed his eyes wearily. "Miss Ye, please push me back to my room." "Are you angry?" Ye Ying's heart trembled, she laughed, "Just because I said these words, are you going to drive me away? I understand, you think I'm using you, don't you? Do you think, Since you were injured, I have been by your bedside 24 hours a day, just to use you, just to tell you my expectations, right?"

There is a suffocation slowly rising in the chest. Yue Xuan grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair. "There are so many reasons to stay by your side," she said in a low voice with sad eyes, "no wonder you can't believe it, I really like you. Although I know that you like Miss Sen, I still like you You. I like you, I want to stay by your side, stay by your side for the rest of my life. It's also because I like you, I don't want to just stay by your side like a servant." "I hope that one day, I can be as good as Miss Sen and make you proud of me," "A humble liking is not qualified to be by your side forever," her voice became lower and lower, "I want to become dazzling and powerful, to have a light that you can appreciate, to be able to guard you forever, until The day you finally like me."

The white roses are brilliant and beautiful in the sun. Pavilion by the pool. Ye Ying crouched in front of Yue Xuan. There was guilt on her face, her eyes were like pools of water on a spring night, her pulse was tender and gentle, she looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. If you like the way you are now, I won't say that anymore. " Yue Xuan closed his eyes and remained silent. His expression was a little tired, and his pale lips were slightly pursed.She leaned forward lightly, pressed her cheek into his cold palm, and rubbed gently like a well-behaved kitten.Seeing that he didn't refuse, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then sighed secretly. The atmosphere became quiet. The afternoon sun shines on the path in the garden. The road is paved with cobblestones. White, gray, black, and countless round pebbles are put together in different depths.On the side of the road were clumps of crimson briars, blooming among the green foliage. The face is nestled in Yue Xuan's palm. Ye Ying was lost in thought. There must be someone who loves roses deeply. In Xie's house, roses bloomed everywhere.The crimson briar is not particularly beautiful, it is a single flower, not gorgeous enough, a little thin, and it is not even worthy of Xie's beautiful garden. And at the moment when she was silently fascinated by Wild Rose. The end of the garden road. A black RV drove up. Wild roses are not beautiful enough, but they are full of brilliant branches, with a kind of stubbornness full of vitality, swaying and fragrant in the afternoon wind. Sunlight reflected off the body of the black RV. The shadows of wild roses on both sides are reflected. The mottled outline was like an old movie, she watched silently without getting up, still nestling in Yue Xuan's palm.The car parked in front of the flower pavilion of Bai Qiangwei, the black car door was opened, facing thousands of dazzling sunlight, the man's figure was handsome and dazzling, he walked slowly, but it seemed that the light in the world was dimmed. Looking at the figure against the light. She narrowed her eyes slightly. Trance is a movie from the old days. Long, long ago, on the first night when the roses were in full bloom, the thorns stuck into her fingers, and she smeared the rose petals with bright red blood.The petals were crimson and seductive, and she saw the boy lying under the rose bushes. As if he was using the blood from her fingertips. phantom out. "Xiao Xuan." Under the vines of white roses, the silhouette of the man was shining dots, with a smile on his lips, his handsome figure bent slightly, and very politely hugged Yuexuan in the wheelchair. "I'm glad you recovered so quickly." Ye Ying's face left Yue Xuan's palm. She bowed her head obediently, wanting to get further away from the second young master, only to suddenly realize that Yue Xuan held her palm instead, not intending to let her leave. She was slightly taken aback. Eyelashes fluttering lightly, she saw Yue Xuan was looking back at the man hugging him, and the man was also examining Yue Xuan deeply, with various complex emotions in his eyes. He seemed to notice her gaze. . The man looked over at her. Among the blooming white roses, the man first saw the hands she held with Yue Xuan, and stayed there for a few seconds, then his eyes gradually moved up, and he saw her. Her skin was as white as rose petals. Dark lashes covered her eyes. The long hair is as bright as black satin, covering her forehead and cheeks, her face is drooping, with a shadow angle, like a deep pool in the night, only the flickering waves can be seen, but the depth of the pool cannot be seen clearly. beauty. It was as if time had frozen. Ye Ying remained motionless, she could feel the man's gaze for a long time, and she restrained herself from raising her head.However, it seems like a century has passed, maybe it's because of something rushing out of my chest, maybe it's because of the too strong rose fragrance—— She still looked at him. Thank you, Young Master. brighter. Rumored to be at the helm of the Xie Group. Among the white roses that were as brilliant as a waterfall of flowers, Yue Canying stood tall and tall in front of her, with an extremely strong sense of oppression. No one could ignore his existence. His skin is slightly dark. The contours of the facial features are masculine, as if made of steel, but they are extremely rigid and soft, with a kind of almost gorgeous and strong beauty, and that kind of beauty is even lethal.As if he could easily destroy you, or make you burn for him. This is a dangerous existence. Dangerous and strange. Long, long ago, there was an arrogant and wild boy who held her hand and ran wildly on the streets late at night.It rained that night, and she was held in his arms, but what worried her heart was whether those rose buds would be knocked down by the rain. "Come with me!" The boy stared at her darkly. "I will arrange everything, you just need to follow me!" On the darkest rainy night, the boy's kiss fell wildly on her hair and cheek. And the man in front of him. is strange. Ye Ying lowered his gaze. "Brother, you are back." Yuexuan's voice was very quiet, and his eyes were also quiet, as if there was no ups and downs of emotion, but a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, like the elegant white roses behind him. Yue Can's gaze also moved away from Ye Ying. He chatted and laughed with Yuexuan and said something. At this time, another person walked out of the car hesitantly. It's Akemi Mori. Mori Mingmei dressed up very elegantly today. She was wearing a beige long dress with Greek goddess folds, and her skin was moist and moving.Seeing Yuexuan in the flower pavilion, Mori Mingmei's expression was a little embarrassed, Yuecan turned around with a smile, and stretched out his hand to her. "I heard that your engagement with Mingmei has been broken." Holding Sen Mingmei's hand, Yuecan stood side by side with her like a pair of lovers. He looked deeply at his younger brother in the wheelchair, and there was apology in his voice: "Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry." Yue Xuan smiled lightly. quietly said: "Brother, Mingmei will ask you to take care of her from now on." Morimi's face turned red. Yuecan hugged her shoulders, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will make her happy." Yue Xuan nodded. He let go of Ye Ying's finger, which was always held in his palm, and said in a low voice: "I'm tired, let's go back." Ye Ying responded, and she stood up, as if she didn't care about anything else. "Young Master officially took over the Brila project, and will invite Ms. Mori to be the artistic director of the Asian region, which will be announced at the board meeting tomorrow." Standing beside Yuexuan's bed, Xie Pu lowered his eyebrows and reported, "This is the old man. I made the decision myself. A few days ago, Ms. Sen just flew back from Switzerland. The wife was very angry and made half an hour's overseas phone call with the old man..." Yue Xuan leaned on the bed. . 692f93be8c7a41525c0baf2076aecfb4 His face was paler than in the garden, and he looked out of the window silently, as if he was thinking about something, or just in a state of fatigue. Ye Ying massaged his legs for him. . 9ad6aaed513b73148b7d49f70afcfb32 His leg muscles were a little tense, and there was a slight involuntary twitch, which was a sign that his body was already tired.She glanced at him, lowered her head again, and put a warm towel on his legs. "In addition, my wife received a survey this morning about your car accident," Xie Pu raised his brows as he pulled out a document from the folder, "This is the copy of the survey I got, the main content is to imply that everyone At least it has something to do with this car accident." Xie Ping's expression turned serious. Taking the document from Xie Pu's hand, Xie Ping flipped through it page by page, his face became darker and his tendons popped out. Xie Ping was furious. "not him." Looking at the pink roses outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Yue Xuan's eyes were indifferent and distant, he shook his head slowly, his voice was very quiet: "It won't be him." "Second Young Master," Xie Ping tried his best to calm down his anger, and said in a deep voice, "I know you have been thinking that Young Master is your relative, so you backed down in everything. However, Young Master stretched his hand longer and longer, and his appetite grew stronger and stronger. He is getting bigger and bigger, and his ambition cannot be satisfied by your continued concession and tolerance. This time when you went to France, you were already showing weakness to him and begging for peace, but he is still pressing every step of the way, even wanting your life. Paris The housekeeper and the driver who caused the car accident were secretly replaced by the young master two years ago, you know it very well!". "Ah Ping." Coughing in a low voice, Yue Xuan's chest heaved a little, and the pain also spread from his legs. He slightly raised his hand to stop Xie Ping from continuing. Xie Pu and Xie Ping looked at each other. Xie Ping fell silent. Xie Pu smiled, beautiful and elegant, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and said: "My wife has already sent someone to send the investigation documents to the old man in Switzerland. If the old man was involved for no reason, I believe that the old man's continued investigation will remove the old man's suspicion." "Go out." Lying on the snow-white pillow, Yue Xuan coughed tiredly. His expression and face were indifferent, without any trace, but under the thin cotton blanket, cold sweat covered his body like dense rain.His hands gripped the sheets tightly, fighting back hurricane spasms of pain. Xie Pu and Xie Ping withdrew. The door just closed. Yue Xuan couldn't stand it any longer, his eyesight was blurred due to the pain, severe pain completely swept his whole body, wave after wave of pain was like washing the marrow and scraping the bone.Rao Ye Ying had seen his seizures too many times, and she was also terrified at the moment. She hurriedly stood up, wanting to ring the emergency call bell beside the bed, but a cold and wet hand held her. That palm was full of cold sweat. Like a frozen lake in winter. "It will be fine in a while..." With a face as white as paper, Yue Xuan grabbed her hand and spoke with difficulty.His body trembled in pain, the pillow and sheets were soaked with sweat, his chest heaved more and more violently, and he gradually let out a sharp wheezing sound. Cold hands held her tightly. After struggling for a moment, Ye Ying sat back on the bed. She wiped his cold sweat with a towel over and over again, trying to make him a little more comfortable.Yes, there is not much way to relieve such pain, only to wait for the raging pain to leave his body by itself. Finally the pain eased a little. She hugged him and sat him half-sitting, relieving the tight breathing in his chest.The cold, painful cold sweat was still dripping on his body, and there was a chilly breath from the well water. She circled him, patted his back up and down, and heard the sharp whistling sound gradually subside. Pink roses bloom quietly outside the glass window. Yue Xuan fell asleep tiredly. After suffering a lot of pain, his lips were chapped and pale, but his cheeks were flushed like a lingering flush, a little stronger than rose pink. Ye Ying looked at him silently. a long time. She couldn't help lowering her head, and gently pressed a kiss on his lips.Although pale and chapped, his lips were as cool and soft as well water in a spring night.When he was in pain, she wished so much that she could bear it for him. Is it because he protected her in the car accident? Perhaps these pains should have been borne by her. The heart constricted. Walking to the window, looking at the pure and sweet girlish pink rose outside the window, her eyes gradually turned cold again.Touching her forehead with her fingers, there was a long, slightly convex scar. It was a dark night, the first night when the roses bloomed, and the sky was blood red. Slowly touching the scar with her fingers, her heart finally turned back to be as cold as iron. . In the next few days, Ye Ying became more cautious and cautious in his words and deeds. The return of the elder and younger was like a fleeting phantom, and Ye Ying never saw him or Mori Mingmei again.Xie Hualing spent less and less time visiting Yuexuan, and every time she appeared, there was always a bit of unbearable anxiety on her face. As if something was happening. But Ye Ying didn't understand. As Yuexuan's body gradually recovered, Xie Pu no longer dictated documents as before, but directly presented the relevant content to Yuexuan to read.The pink roses outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are still in full bloom. No matter what kind of documents are reviewed, Yue Xuan's brows are always indifferent, and no clues can be seen. This evening. After Xie Pu went out, Yue Xuan told Ye Ying—— He is going to have dinner with his family. The dining room is white. Luxurious palace-style curtains, candle-shaped white crystal chandeliers, long dining tables, glass vases filled with beautiful white roses, crystal-clear goblets, silver knives and forks, white with cobalt blue Lace bone china dishes. When Ye Ying pushed Yuexuan in the wheelchair and walked in. At the dining table, his wife Xie Hualing, the youngest Yuecan and Sen Mingmei seemed to have been seated and waiting for a while, and when Yuexuan came over, Yuecan got up to greet him. "I come." There was a strong smell coming out of her body, like tobacco mixed with the fragrance of flowers, Yue Can took Yue Xuan's wheelchair from Ye Ying's hand, Ye Ying lowered her eyebrows, and quietly stood together with the other servants in the restaurant.Greeting about Yuexuan's physical condition, Yuecan sent him to the head of the table. "Miss Ye." Looking back, he found Ye Ying standing among the servants, Yue Can raised his eyebrows, pulled a seat away from Yue Xuan, and said with a smile: "Miss Ye is too polite, please sit here." Ye Ying looked at Yuexuan. Then she walked over quietly. And Yuecan waited there, nudging the seat for her considerately, and didn't return to his seat until he sat her down. "Ms. Ye contributed a lot to Xiao Xuan's recovery so quickly." Holding up the crystal wine glass, Yue Can motioned to Ye Ying, "This glass of wine is for you." Sip the ruby ​​red wine. Yuecan stared at her with a smile, his eyes were so intense that they smelled like wine. "cough." Xie Hualing coughed heavily, glanced at Yuecan and Sen Mingmei sarcastically, and said: "Master, Mingmei is still sitting next to you, so you can't wait to flatter Aying, are you afraid of hurting Mingmei's heart?" With his left hand resting loosely on the back of Sen Mingmei's chair, Yuecan laughed out loud, a little presumptuous and malicious, he squinted at Xie Hualing and said, "Master, are you worried that the people around Xiaoxuan, Will they all fall in love with me one by one?" "Ha ha ha ha." "Sure enough, it's shameless and shocking!" Xie Hualing threw down the napkin fiercely, "A wild species is a wild species, you are just like your bitch mother, you can't live without it!" Yue Can continued to laugh. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are full of indelible glamour. "It's a pity that she can't live anymore, and neither can father. You are living well." "elder brother." In the wheelchair, Yue Xuan made a sound in silence. Yuecan glanced at him, the smile slowly disappeared from the corner of his lips, and raised his glass to him.Xie Hualing's complexion turned from red to white, and from white to red, she managed to take a few mouthfuls, and finally got up abruptly, left the table and left. The scene became extremely quiet. Ye Ying noticed that Yue Xuan only drank a few sips of soup and ate a few slices of vegetables, not as much as he used to eat in his room. "Miss Ye." After a while, Sen Mingmei put down the knife and fork, and looked at Ye Ying with a gentle smile. Putting the bowl of soup in Yue Xuan's hand, Ye Ying quickly said to her, "Miss Sen, you can just call me A Ying." "Aying," Sen Mingmei smiled slightly as if recalling the name, "Aying, I want to say sorry to you. I hope you don't take what I said last time. At that time, I was afraid that you would For some purpose, I took the opportunity to get close to Xuan, so I deliberately said that to test you." Ye Ying seemed a little overwhelmed. "Now, Xuan is getting better every day. I am in the same mood as Can, thank you very much." Smiling at Yue Can, Sen Mingmei continued to say to her earnestly, "I hope you can always be by Xuan's side. , to help him recover fully as soon as possible." Yes, Miss Mori, I will..." "Akemi." Yue Xuan's voice interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and Mori Mingmei looked over in puzzlement, and saw that he was looking at her peacefully. Morimi was startled. . 55743cc0393b1cb4b8b37d09ae48d097 There seemed to be a long echo in her heart, and Mori Mingmei was only stunned for a second, then smiled gracefully again: "Huh? Xuan, tell me." "why?" After dinner, she pushed Yuexuan in the wheelchair back to the room, and Ye Ying couldn't help but half-knelt by his knees. She raised her face and asked in puzzlement: "Don't you like it? What I said that day made you unhappy, and you even wanted to drive me away. I already knew I was wrong, and I dare not think like that again. As long as I can be by your side, let I'm already very satisfied that your body recovers sooner. Why did you ask Ms. Mori to let me follow her to be a fashion designer?" Yue Xuan was silent. . His eyes stayed on her face quietly for a moment, and then looked out of the window, where there were a large number of pink roses blooming in the night. "How long will they last?" The voice was as quiet as the moonlight on rose petals, Yue Xuan asked her. Ye Ying followed his gaze and looked over. In the sea of ​​pink roses, some flowers have withered and some buds are waiting to bloom. She thought about it and replied: "There will be about half a month of flowering." "Go ahead." The pink rose in the moonlight is so sweet that it is almost hallucinatory, almost eerie. The petals are stained with a little night dew, which is cool and refreshing. Yue Xuan closed his eyes and said indifferently: "This has always been what you most want to achieve. I only hope that you will know when to stop." Ye Ying's heart skipped a beat. Her pupils turned dark, and the words he once said flashed in his mind, "I seem to have seen you before." Could it be that he had really seen her before?no, I can not.Even if he had seen her somewhere, after so many years, he shouldn't have recognized her. "That……". She bit her lip, raised her head, and said with some concern: "Will you drive me away?" Yue Xuan looked at her silently. "Yes, I am an ambitious person. I want to succeed, and I want to stand beside you in a successful posture." She knelt down and touched his lips, "But None of this is important compared to you. If I did something wrong, I hope you can tell me instead of driving me away..." Yue Xuan frowned. Avoid her kissed lips. She squinted her eyes. Stretching out her arms, she wrapped them around the back of his head.Because of his cervical spine injury, she didn't dare to use force, but her palm also made it impossible for him to avoid her.She leaned forward and kissed him, like a stream of cool mountain spring. The moment she kissed him, all the turmoil in her heart was suppressed coolly. "I like you." As she kissed him, her mind gradually went blank. Those lips were as cool as a spring, which made her feel fascinated. She kissed him repeatedly, repeatedly.Her breathing became faster and faster, and her heartbeat became faster and faster. She wanted to kiss those lips warm, as if as long as they were ironed, the black hole-like place in the bottom of her heart would no longer feel so empty and uncomfortable. "Even if I did something wrong, don't drive me away..." Kissing him, her eyes were full of black, while kissing him lingeringly, while trembling and begging, she said on his lips. Looking at the pink roses in the night. Yue Xuan's sigh was also kissed by her, gradually, he closed his eyes and let her kiss him hotly.And his hand slowly caressed her long black hair like satin. The night is getting deeper and deeper. Yue Xuan had already fallen into a deep sleep. Beside the bed, looking at his peaceful and pale sleeping face, Ye Ying felt a sense of confusion in her heart.He seemed to be able to see through her at any time, but he seemed to be quietly protecting her, and she couldn't find the reason why he would do so. Fingers brushed unconsciously on his forehead. The thin and long slightly raised scar made her feel calm. The nurse on the night shift came in, and Ye Ying left the room.From the closet in the next room, she found her green portfolio.She hadn't touched it for a long time, and she gently blew the dust on it, the silver rose imprinted on the clip shone faintly, and it seemed that there was still the smell of Paris perfume. Haven't drawn for months. She hesitated for a moment, put down the portfolio, took only the sketch pad and pen, closed the door, and walked to the garden. Xie's Garden in the middle of the night. It seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist. . She walked on the cobblestone road, surrounded by clumps of wild roses.The scent of wild roses is extremely strong, as if it is wild, with a kind of arrogance, and the crimson petals are as red as blood in the night, as if many years ago, that wild boy bit her shoulder hard. , little drops of blood oozed from the skin. Without warning— A dangerous message made the back of her neck tremble suddenly, and before she had time to turn her head, her whole body was tightly hugged into a fiery embrace! Hot breath came from the neck! The sleeves of the shirt were rolled up loosely, and the pair of male arms tightly wrapped around her waist. The strength was so great that it seemed to break her waist! Intense rose fragrance. Mixed with a little earthy smell. There is also a strong smell of tobacco. The man tightened his grip so tightly that she couldn't breathe, and his voice was dark and hoarse in her ears: "Do you really think that I won't recognize you?" There was a storm-like strong, hot breath in that voice, sticking to her ears, her mind was in a trance uncontrollably, as if she had returned to that rainy night a long time ago in an instant, the rain was obviously cold, but breathing and The skin is hot. Take a deep breath. . The night wind was tinged with the fragrance of roses, and she leaned in his arms without struggling, letting the dangerous and fiery aura surround her. "What if you recognize it?" Turning to look at him, her eyelashes were as long as black feathers, and her pupils were dark, she said in a low voice: "Also, after so many years, you can still recognize me, Master Can, I'm very touched." The arms around her waist tightened suddenly! Ye Ying's face turned pale from the pain. "Why are you here?" The voice was hoarse, with hot arms, Yuecan stared at her tightly, wrapping around her body, "Why is your name 'Ye Ying'? Are you looking for me? Why are you here?" Will she be by Yuexuan's side?" He thought that he had already forgotten her, it was just a passing period when he was young and frivolous, he was no longer the boy who would hug her tightly beside the rose bushes. In six years, he became cold-hearted. However, the first time he saw her on the phone screen, even though her appearance had changed, he still recognized her. She has come back. Those overwhelming pains, those overwhelming hatreds, he made her fall into the abyss, and he stayed in the darkest part of the abyss ever since. "I'm here to find you." Leaning softly against his chest, she smiled charmingly, looked at him and said: "After so many years, I miss you all the time. But now you are like in the clouds, and ordinary people can't approach them at will. I can only get close to the second young master before I can walk by your side." Yuecan stared at her closely. There was a slight loss of focus in his eyes, just for a moment, he chuckled a few times, and his eyes became sharp again.He leaned over and pressed a kiss on her cheek with a utterly dangerous air.Her back suddenly tensed, but she remained motionless, and continued to look at him with charming eyes, as if filled with tenderness. "Now I wonder if I have admitted to the wrong person." Pressing his lips on her cheek for a long time, Yue Can said in a whisper, "So passionate, and lying, how could it be my little flower full of thorns?" Where is Rose?" The night breeze is slightly cool. She smiled quietly, neither avoiding nor saying anything, as if no matter what he did, she let him.Embracing her soft and cool body, the beautiful right shoulder is in front of Yuecan, the skin as beautiful as white jade, vaguely imprinted with an old age mark that was once bitten by someone.He stared at the imprint, as if flames rolled across his eyes. Let go of her violently! Yue Can walked in front of the blooming wild rose bushes, stroking the crimson rose petals with his fingers, and there was a bit of suppressed cruelty in his voice: "I know exactly what you want to do." Ye Ying smiled slightly: . "Yes, I can't hide it from you." "If you're not here, I won't interfere with what you want to do, and maybe I'll even help you." He wiped off the night dew from the rose petals with his fingers, and the slightly wet crystals stained his fingertips, "But Mrs. Xie, Not your pedal." "This is what the Xie family owes me, isn't it?" She smiled faintly. After a moment of silence, Yue Can said: "Akimi Mori will be my fiancée." Ye Ying replied: "Congratulations." "So, I won't look at you and step on her." Yue Can said expressionlessly, twirling the dew on her fingertips. She smiled again: "Miss Sen is not my enemy, why should I step on her?" Yuecan raised an eyebrow. "Besides, you are not my enemy." The night was filled with the fragrance of roses, she walked to his side, took his hand, and put it on her forehead, "Although you have broken your promise to me, A Can..." His fingertips still had the scent of roses. cool. Holding his finger, she took him to touch the thin, slightly convex scar on her forehead hidden under her long hair.Looking up, she looked at him with dark eyes and said: "At that time, I was waiting for you, but you never came. The roses outside the window were all in bloom, but you still didn't come. Feel how long this scar is. That night, I was pushed to the corner of the table by him and bled. Lots and lots of blood, the blood made it hard for me to open my eyes, until then, I was still looking forward to your coming." That long, slightly raised scar. Yue Can's pupils tightened secretly, his fingers trembled, but she held him tightly, not allowing him to move away! "I hated you, Can." she said gravely. "The first two years I spent there, I hated you, hated you to the core." Looking at him, her eyes were dark and deep like a deep well, "But, A Can, I don't want to be your enemy, and neither do I. You have become my enemy. I need the Xie family, and I need someone to help me." "Help you enter the Xie Group?" "right." "If you come to me directly, I may not refuse to help you." The image of her snuggling beside Xuan appeared in her mind, Yue Can narrowed her eyes, and pulled her hand away from her palm, "You now You chose Er Shao, didn't you?" "That's because you already have Miss Mori by your side," she sighed. "I thought that with Miss Mori, you would no longer remember who I am. Besides, I dare not trust you anymore." "Ha ha ha ha!" Yuecan laughed loudly, wantonly and frivolously, as if he didn't care if someone happened to walk past the garden, laughing like the wild and unruly boy six years ago.He laughed for several minutes, looked away from her face, and said mockingly: "Okay, I can pretend that I don't know you, and I don't block your way. But you have to tell me what is the relationship between you and Xuan." "Ok?" "Do you like Xuan? Or are you just using him?" Yuecan asked straightforwardly. "What about you?" She smiled faintly, "Do you like Miss Mori?" Yue Can frowned. "What kind of feelings do you have for Miss Sen?" Ye Ying looked at him, "I have the same kind of feelings for Second Young Master." her eyes... As if everything can be chosen by him. Yue Can stared at her for a long time, her dark eyes reflected in his pupils.His eyes became darker and darker, and finally he turned around and left without saying goodbye.Ye Ying looked at his back as he was getting further and further away, and only after his figure had completely disappeared did she let out a soft breath. He actually recognized her. Ah Can... Is the wild and enthusiastic boy in the past, now, going to become a dangerous existence standing in her way?Sitting on the bench beside the garden path, Ye Ying was silent for a long time. Just as she calmed down and opened her sketchbook to start drawing, she saw the land beside the wild rose bushes—— Crimson roses swaying in the wind. Dark green leaves. The soil of the flower bushes had just been loosened, and the muddy long-handled shovel, a watering can, and a spray can had been forgotten there.There was a fresh smell of soil in the night wind, exactly the same as the smell on him just now. two days later. morning. The fifty-storey Xie Group Building, with its eye-catching orange logo, stands in the busiest center of the city.它通体是浅茶色玻璃外墙，再加上周围附属的谢氏楼宇，阳光下，如同一座晶莹剔透的水晶宫殿。 叶婴站在大厦门口。 仰头向上望去。 大厦仿佛直入云霄，天空蔚蓝得刺眼，丝丝白云映在浅茶色的玻璃楼身。她静静看了它几秒钟，收回视线，见载她过来的谢家司机还恭敬地站在原处。 “叶小姐，任何时候需要用车，您都可以打电话给我。”又对她鞠躬行礼完毕，司机才开着那辆黑色的宾利缓缓驶离。 已经是上午九点二十分。 前台的接待小姐笑容清新甜美，她略翻了一下手边的记录，便殷切地对叶婴微笑说：“是的，叶小姐，谢夫人约了您九点三十分，在四十六层的副总办公室，您可以从右侧第二个电梯直达。” 保安在那个电梯前为她刷了一下卡。 "Ding dong." 浅茶色的电梯打开。 叶婴走进去，她按下“46”，发现这个电梯里并没有四十五层以下的楼层按键。很快，又是“叮咚”一声，电梯门打开，扑面而来一股玫瑰花香。 “叶小姐是吗？” 踩着粉红色的羊绒地毯，一位妆容精致的短发女子向叶婴迎过来，笑容和煦地说：“您好，我是谢夫人的特别助理，Sandy。谢夫人说，您不必等了，请您直接进来。” 带着叶婴走过一间间办公室，直到最后那间，Sandy敲了两下门，就直接带她进去。 浓浓的玫瑰味道，如同踏入了玫瑰花的海洋，整个房间是粉红色的，各式各样的水晶花瓶里插满了粉红色的玫瑰花，它一点也不像一间办公室，而是像一间十六岁少女的梦幻香闺。 办公桌是一张乳白色雕着复古花纹的西式书桌。 桌后并没有人。 叶婴在窗旁的贵妃榻上看到了谢华菱。 谢华菱正躺靠在塌上，半眯着眼睛假寐，她穿一身淡红色的套裙，颈戴珍珠，丰脂白肌。贵妃榻旁，一个美容师模样的女孩子正捧着谢华菱的右手，用玫瑰精油细细地按摩着。 一盏华丽繁复的落地熏香灯伸出十几根枝桠，每一簇火苗都在明明闪闪。 “谢夫人。” 叶婴唤了一声，站在那里。 谢华菱仿佛没有听见，继续假寐，有一搭没一搭地听那美容师介绍最新的护肤方法。好像见惯了这样的场面，Sandy退了出去。又过了将近二十分钟，美容师将谢华菱的左手也保养完毕，谢华菱才懒洋洋地坐起来。 拿起榻旁的玻璃杯，谢华菱喝了几口水，撩起眼皮打量了一下面前的叶婴，说： “阿婴，你让我很失望。” “谢夫人……” “我以为你是真心为了瑄，才不计报酬地一直照顾他，”谢华菱嘲弄地说，“哪知道，你也是有野心的人。” “咚咚。” 办公室的门被敲了两下，Sandy的声音从外面响起： “谢夫人，森小姐到了。” “让她等着。” 谢华菱的声音里有几分寒，她的目光继续审视在叶婴的脸上，半晌，才冷冷哼了一声： “照我的意思，你能安分地待在瑄的身边，我什么都缺不了你的，如果你不安分，不如索性赶出去干净！瑄让你进来公司，是你提出来的，对不对？从一开始接近瑄，你就打着这样的主意，哼，你演技真不错，居然差点把我也骗住了。” 叶婴犹豫了一下。 没有说话。 “想说什么，就说！” 谢华菱不悦地低喝一声。 “是，夫人……”叶婴似乎怔怔地说，“如果您觉得这样不妥，那我现在就回去，继续照顾二少的身体。我也觉得，二少的身体才是最重要的，其他的事情，只要二少的身体好了……” "enough!" 谢华菱皱眉，来回走了几步，站定在她面前： “就你这个样子，进公司又能有什么用！你能比得上明美吗？真不知道瑄是怎么想的！” 闭一闭眼睛，谢华菱克制住自己，说： “既然瑄信任你，我也只能相信你。你记住，谢氏集团的主力产业，服装设计与行销领域，一直是由瑄亲自掌控的，不能落到外人手中！我要你，在瑄的身体康复之前，替瑄守住他的东西。既然明美不再是瑄的未婚妻，那么，你就必须替代她的位置！” “……是，夫人。” 叶婴回答说。 摇摇头，谢华菱喟然长叹： “算了，你只要记住，在你的职位上，不要犯错误，不要落陷阱，坚持到瑄回来的时候，就行了。” 待森明美终于得允而入时，谢华菱已经正襟端坐在办公桌后翻看着文件。 穿一袭波西米亚风格的斑斓长裙，外面压一件半袖的黑色小西装，黑色水晶的项链，黑色的高跟凉拖，森明美整个人显得明眸皓齿，顾盼生辉。 她微笑说： “伯母，您找我？” 谢华菱皱皱眉头： “在公司里，用这种私人的称呼并不合适。” “是，副总。” 森明美笑得不以为意。 “我找你来，是因为阿婴。”谢华菱拿起一份文件，“这是我昨天签发的人事任命，阿婴从今天起，出任时装设计部的副总设计师。我记得你说过，你会多多照顾阿婴，让她跟着你学习，那么今后，我就把她托付给你了。” 接过文件的手指略僵了下，森明美飞快地扫了眼正安静地站在旁边的叶婴。 “不过，副总，我必须向您报备一下，”森明美思忖了一下，说，“副总设计师其实在上星期就已经有了人选，并且已经上报了集团的人事部门。” “我否决了。” “……，”森明美顿了顿，“我相信叶小姐的能力，也答应过瑄，让叶小姐进入公司，担任设计师的工作。但以叶小姐的履历，直接任命为副总设计师，恐怕难以服众。” “难以服众？”谢华菱一边欣赏着自己雪白丰腴的手指，一边悠悠地说，“谢家二少即将的未婚妻，未来的集团总裁夫人，当一个区区的副总设计师，会难以服众吗？那么明美，当年你是怎么服众的？” 森明美的设计室在大厦的三十二层，足足二百平米的室内空间，紫色基调，简约华美的时尚装修风格。墙边足足有十几个长排衣架，每个长排衣架上都挂满了各大品牌最新款的时装，另有一面墙摆满了各款时尚的鞋子和各种配饰。 森明美安排叶婴坐在沙发上等候。 电话和手机连绵不断地响起，森明美接了很多电话，也打了很多电话，秘书们不时地送进来需要签字的文件，外面排队等候约见的客人也越来越多，森明美忙碌得连喝杯咖啡的时间都没有。 差不多过了一个多小时。 森明美放下电话，签完又一份文件，起身向沙发中的叶婴走过来，歉意地说：“很抱歉，让你等这么久。不过，我已经推掉了后面的约会，这就带你去跟设计部的同事们见面。” “啊。”。a1d0c6明晓溪《第一夜的蔷薇(暂命名)》 森明美一扶额角，说： “糟了，任命下得太突然，我这里还没你的履历。” “我带来了。” 叶婴微笑，从随身的包包里拿出两叠，一本是履历，一本是设计图。 "Great." 森明美拿起她的履历，边翻看边朝外走。 这一整层都属于时装设计部。 “阿婴，你要有心理准备。”大步走在前面，森明美仿佛没有留意从四周向她两人投射过来的目光，只是微皱眉头看着叶婴的履历，说，“公司的设计部，汇集了国内乃至国际上最顶尖的设计师，一个个都恃才傲物、孤芳自赏。我原本想让你从设计师助理开始做起，让他们慢慢接受你。” 经过一间间设计室。 几乎每一间的百叶帘都拉开了。 落在叶婴身上。 “但是，现在你直接空降到这个职位，肯定会有很多人不服，”森明美又翻了一页履历，埋头边走边说，“我会尽力帮你，不过最终设计师们是否会信服你，还是要靠你自己的能力。” "yes." “你马上要见到的，是设计部最出色的几位设计师和制版师，他们对你的看法，将会影响到整个设计部对你评价。”啪的一声合上履历文档，走到走廊尽头倒数第二扇门前，森明美伸手将门推开。 光芒刺眼。 . 满屋的阳光直射过来！ . 叶婴发现，那简直是一间小型的制衣车间，从各式布料到图纸、划粉、尺子、剪刀，到制版工具、立裁模型，再到针线、纽扣、缝纫机，全部都有。 里面还有十几个人。 . 其中几个一望可知是设计师。 一个是金发碧眼的嬉皮男士，耳朵、鼻子、嘴唇打满了洞，戴满了环。一个是中年的女人，气质雍容，穿着镶满珠片手工精湛的黑色小礼服裙。一个是看起来有点笨拙的女孩子，涩涩呆呆的，手中的设计图刚画一半。另外几个设计师正在彼此谈笑，听到声音才把头转过来，有个女设计师的面容美丽得出奇，看向她的目光却极不友善。 还有几个人，看起来像是制版师。 离她最近的那个女人，胖胖的，手上有厚厚的茧子，手指上还带着顶针，应该是高级的缝纫师。 从他们看向她的眼神。 叶婴知道了。 这不是一次简单的见面，而是，一场对她的评估。
