MTL - I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses-Chapter 497 He will let her go

 Chapter 497 He will let her go

Wei Lan chose two dresses according to Wei Lan's preference. Yanyi had them wrapped in bags and tied with a separate red ribbon.

 Driving back, I had reached the foot of Quancheng Road, but the speed of the car slowed down again, and finally stopped along the roadside.

 At seven o'clock in the night, the tide rises on the coast, and the waves hit the rocks and make a "swishing" sound.

Yanyi’s back was pressed against the car, the cigarette **** in his hand clearly extinguished.

After listening to the roar of the waves for an unknown amount of time, he once again threw away his cigarette butt, opened the car door and sat in.

 The car turned around and drove slowly towards the Shanghai-North Bridge.

　　If you admit your inner feelings from the beginning.

 If it is taken care of and treated with care from the beginning.

 Is it going to be another result now?

 But, in this world, there is never if.

 He once complained about Gu Chao for failing to take good care of her and treat her well.

 However, he is the one who does not treat her well now and does not take good care of her.

 Obviously I had a chance, but I failed to love well...

 So ashamed.

 The two-person ferry tickets to Hong Kong Island were prepared half a month ago.

Yanyi has thought a lot about future plans.

 He wants to take Wei Lan to a farther place.

 See the mountains, the water, the world...

 But the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

 He didn’t want to see Wei Lan like this again.

 He wants her to be happy.

 He wanted to see her smile.

 He wants to...send her back.

Even though my heart hurts, my heart is filled with reluctance...

Yanyi's slender hands clenched the steering wheel tightly, his eyes were blood red and he closed his eyes hard.

 When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were firm and hurt.

   *

I bought two tickets to Kaiwangjing City at the train station and headed back home from Yanyi.

The courtyard was quiet and quiet. There were lights on outside the main room, but it was dark inside. Through the window, you could vaguely see the outline of a woman's body sitting sideways.

 Yanyi paused slightly, took a few deep breaths to adjust his expression, and entered the house carrying the wrapped gift bag.

 “Why don’t you turn on the light?”

 “I want to see the sunset.” Wei Lan replied softly.

 The sunset lasts only a short time, so keep the room dark, and you may be able to watch the afterglow for a while.

Wei Lan doesn’t look at the sunset because he likes it.

It’s because after sunset comes night, she can hide herself in the night.

After a brief silence, Yanyi twitched his lips and asked, "Can I turn on the light?"

"good."

As soon as he finished speaking, orange light illuminated the room, which was a bit dazzling. Wei Lan raised his hand to cover it. When he lowered his hand, Yan Yi had already sat in front of him.

Yanyi opened the gift bag in front of her, revealing two pairs of exquisite clothes inside.

A white lace cheongsam and an indigo peach embroidered cheongsam.

Yanyi looked at her with a gentle smile, "Have a look, do you like it?"

Wei Lan tilted her head and glanced twice, gently caressing Indigo's cheongsam with her green-white fingers, and praised "very beautiful" but did not answer whether she liked it or not.

Looking at Yanyi inquiringly, Wei Lan was waiting for his next words just like every time before.

 “There is a party tomorrow and I need a dance partner.”

“You’ve been at home for a long time, do you want to come with me?”

After Yanyi finished speaking, he felt that this was very similar to every time before, and he did not fully consider her wishes.

 But, this is the last time.

 He never attended any formal scene with her.

 He wants to let her go, and he will let her go.

 But, I also want a beautiful ending...

Like newlyweds, he is wearing a suit and she is wearing a dress...

Yanyi's eyes were red, glittering and almost falling off.

Hurryly looking away and blinking twice, he turned back and looked at Wei Lan with a smile, his voice was low and tender, "Wei Lan, this is the last time."

　　Yes, for the last time.

 Perhaps all stories end like this.

Two flowers bloomed, and then the sky was on either side.

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

She pursed her lips for a while, nodded with a bright smile, "Okay, one last time."

 “When is the party tomorrow?”

 “At Third Commercial Street, starting at four o’clock in the afternoon.”

"Okay, I will prepare well." Wei Lan nodded slightly, and the warm light cast a golden edge on her body, which was beautiful and distorted.

Yanyi stared at her, sitting quietly with no intention of leaving.

"It's very late, let's go to bed?" Wei Lan smiled formulaically and gently.

 “Okay.” Yanyi nodded and got up and walked out.

 As he walked to the beaded curtain between the outer room and the inner room, he stopped and turned around, "Wei Lan..."

"Um?"

"You..." Yanyi clenched his fists, and even felt his heart trembling, "Do you want to see your family?"

Wei Lan lowered her head and grasped the hem of her clothes in front of her knees with both hands, but only for that moment, she slowly loosened her hands again and whispered two words:

"all good."

 What does it matter whether we see you or not?

 It’s just the same as every time before.

eager.

expect.

disappointment…

 Until all expectations are lost.

The two words left Yanyi speechless.

 She always thought she was abandoned by her family, but that was not the case.

 When I get to the capital and see the Wei family in person, maybe, maybe things will get better.

 She will be fine.

Yanyi put his left hand into his pocket and clutched two open tickets to Beijing tightly.

   *

 The banquet started at four o'clock in the afternoon and had to enter the venue at three o'clock. Wei Lan didn't like to be late, so she started preparations at twelve noon.

 Wearing an indigo cheongsam upper body, she has a slim and curvy figure.

Wei Lan's hairstyle was braided by herself. It was **** behind her head and tied tightly with an indigo top hat made of black silk gauze.

The woman is sitting in front of the mirror, applying her makeup carefully. Separated by a gauze and bead curtain, her graceful figure is faintly visible, like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yanyi felt heartbroken.

 In fact, I have known it for a long time.

 Early on that snowy day in Province H, when she mustered up the courage to stand in front of him wearing a sheepskin jacket and skirt, and confessed to him that "she" was not "she".

 The illusion of a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water…

 No matter how good it is, it cannot come true.

 It was him who forced it. It's not too late...it's still too late.

 Yanyi pursed his thin lips tightly, turned around and walked to the door to wait.

 …

Cuicui stood at the door and waved. The car started slowly. Wei Lan closed the window and leaned on the passenger side to look out the window.

Yanyi turned his head and saw only the side of her face that was lightly powdered and red lipstick.

 The paleness and disease discoloration faded away, and she was bright and bright again.

This banquet is related to the interests of the group of foreigners behind him, and it is also related to his interests. Perhaps knowing this, Wei Lan dressed up very carefully today.

Yanyi was happy that Wei Lan cared about him, but also felt a little unwilling to expose such a beautiful woman to others.

 But, this is the last time.

Today, she still belongs to him.

Yanyi looked away, pursed his lips and concentrated on driving.

 …

Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyebrows are willowy, her cheongsam wraps up her curvy, slender and well-proportioned calves, and she wears stiletto fish-mouth high heels, making her legs even longer. Coupled with her face, which is light and make-up is still gorgeous, from the car, Wei Lan is the focus.

“Yan, your wife is really a beautiful oriental woman. I assure you, there will be no one more beautiful and charming than her in this room.”

After parking the car, Yanyi opened the car for Wei Lan like a gentleman. He helped Wei Lan out of the car. Several foreigners gathered around, their eyes glanced at Wei Lan's face, and they expressed admiration from time to time.

Yanyi was afraid that they would scare Wei Lan, so he turned sideways to protect Wei Lan behind him, and responded with a smile in English: "Thank you."

 The foreigners spoke English. What surprised Wei Lan was that she could understand the meaning of those unfamiliar English words.

Wei Lan was slightly absentminded, and she didn't come back to her senses until Yanyi hugged her forward.

 Economic liberalization in the 1980s was in the limelight, and the streets and alleys were full of diversity. Wei Lan wore a slit cheongsam, just like the dress worn by wealthy wives during the Republic of China, but it was actually not out of the ordinary.

 Walking all the way to the door of the hotel with others watching, the majestic carved door opened, and the brisk tunes of the gramophone entered my ears.

Wei Lan looked up and saw pairs of unfamiliar faces with blond hair, black hair, white skin, and yellow skin embracing each other, chatting in low voices, or swaying, dancing irregular tango or ballroom dances.

It was related to Yanyi work, and Wei Lan did not hesitate to say that he did not want to participate.

She held Yan Yi's arm, turned her head and smiled like a flower, and asked proactively: "Should we dance too?"

Yanyi nodded and wanted to say yes, but swallowed the words again, "I...I don't know how."

 There are many things in Yanyi Society.

Horse riding, shooting, wrestling, etc.

 But he can't dance.

“What’s so difficult about this? Just look at them, they’re hanging around together and you can see them at a glance.” Wei Lan smiled, led Yan Yi into the hall, and quickly blended into the crowd.

The door slowly closed, and the gramophone tune "ding ding dong dong" was brisk and pleasant. Several people in the corner on the second floor looked at each other, and then nodded to the people in the darkness of the hall.

 The guests were half hugging each other, the atmosphere was cheerful and harmonious, and no one noticed the crowd gradually surrounding them.

 After the dance ended, Yanyi was already nervous and sweating profusely.

 I’m not tired, I’m just nervous and awkward.

But Wei Lan smiled happily, seemingly the most heartily in the past few years.

Yan Yi's impetuous heart gradually calmed down. Looking at Wei Lan's smooth cheeks, he asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to dance again?"

"OK!"

 One side of the hall is set up as a dance floor, and the other side is filled with all kinds of food and pastries.

After finishing the two dances, Wei Lan gasped while laughing, her face flushed, Yanyi felt happy, and felt that it was right to bring Wei Lan here today.

 It was almost half past five. After choosing a plate of dessert according to Wei Lan's tone, Yanyi took her to a secluded balcony on the second floor.

"I have something to take care of. Take a rest here and wait for me."

“When I come back, I’ll take you to other places down there, okay?”

Wei Lan smiled lightly, nodded obediently, raised his index finger for a while, and made a playful request, "I'm a little thirsty, please pour me a glass of water before we go, okay?"

"good."

Yanyi quickly brought a tray with not only boiled water, but also a glass of orange juice and champagne.

"The orange juice is a bit cold, and the champagne contains alcohol. You can try it but don't drink too much." Yanyi placed the tray on the chair next to Wei Lan's legs.

Hand squatting, he looked at Wei Lan, his narrow eyes reflected Wei Lan's crooked eyes and smile, "I'll be back soon."

 “Yeah!” Wei Lan nodded.

Yanyi stood up and was about to walk out of the balcony. She suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of his sleeve.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Wei Lan shook his head and asked him with a peaceful smile on his face: "Yanyi, are you happy today?"

Yanyi held her hand holding her sleeve with his backhand and nodded carefully, "Happily."

 Very happy.

 Happier than I have been in years.

"Just be happy." Wei Lan pursed her lips and smiled again, waving the back of her hands outward for a while, "Go quickly, don't delay the business!"

Yanyi once again told Wei Lan to wait for him here before leaving.

Unknown to everyone, as soon as his figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor, the smile on Wei Lan's face faded little by little.

Her eyes were filled with tears and glistening. As she lowered her head, the cup filled with orange juice in her hand made ripples.

this is the last time.

 “Goodbye, Yanyi.”

The cup returned to the tray with a "thump" sound, and the orange juice swayed. When it returned to peace, Wei Lan was no longer there.

On the other side, Yanyi followed the waiter and stopped at the door of a room.

The waiter left, Yanyi stretched out his hand to straighten his tie, coughed slightly, put on a serious look, and knocked on the door.

Soon, a joking voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Yanyi opened the door in response, "Thank you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yanyi's brain buzzed when he saw the man on the side of the long table in the room with his hands folded and his chin supported on the back of his hands.

 “Long time no see, Deputy Bureau Yan.”

His superior has instructed that Yanyi’s trip has other purposes besides attending the banquet.

The host of this banquet is named Xie. It is said that he is a teenager. Yanyi came here with a ten percent profit, but he did not expect that when he pushed the door and walked in, he would see Gu Chao.

Yanyi's heart tightened when he thought that Wei Lan was still outside the door. He turned around and subconsciously wanted to run away.

 He is willing to return Wei Lan to the Wei family, but it does not mean that he is willing to return Wei Lan to Gu Chao.

The door to the room was being closed from the outside. Yanyi stretched out his hand to open the door. There was a strong wind behind him. He turned his head to dodge, and saw the fist from the cuff of his suit hit the door hard, causing the solid wood door panel to be slightly dented.

Before he could make up his mind, the collar tightened again, and a strong force pulled Yanyi down from behind.

The body lost weight and leaned backward. Yanyi didn't bother to resist, so he got a blow on the face.

Yanyi's past few years have been sad and depressing, and Gu Chao's life has been equally difficult.

In the past four years, Gu Chao felt guilty about Wei Lan, the Wei family, and self-blame every day. For more than 1,400 days and nights, he didn't know how he survived.

“Four years, you hid her for four years!”

With a sound, it was a fist. Gu Chao struck his dead hand with such strength that he was desperate for his life, as if he wanted to vent all the sadness and hatred he had accumulated in the past few years.

Yanyi hid Wei Lan for four years. During these four years, everyone was burdened with pain.

 “Have you ever thought about it? I will find you!”

Yanyi’s back was pressed against the ground, his neck was trapped by Gu Chao, and his whole face was bloodshot and blue.

 Yanyi stretched out his hand and barely held Gu Chao's fist, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and blood splattered all over his face.

He smiled darkly, "So what if I find her? She is already my wife and has given birth to a child for me."

 Compared to the joking Gonghuo of the Gu Dynasty, Yanyi is even worse.

"Now do you know how to be cruel? Back then, when you treated that crazy woman, weren't you still soft-hearted?"

 “Do you know what she went through?”

Digression:

 Five stars, vote, and check in three times in a row!

These are the motivations for Ayao to update! Hey, hey, hey~
