As night fell, the whole city gradually lit up. Yuan Xudong sat on the sofa in the living room and sent a WeChat message to Zhu Suosuo, saying that he had something to do and would not go back tonight, and asked her and Jiang Nansun to rest early.
Without waiting for Zhu Suosuo's reply, Wang Manni, who was standing on the balcony overlooking the night scene, looked back at him and greeted him excitedly:
"Yuan Xudong, come here quickly, it's bright outside!"
"Just wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
Having said that, after receiving Zhu Suosuo's reply on WeChat, Yuan Xudong put away his mobile phone and walked to the balcony. From behind, he hugged Wang Manni, who was jumping up and down, pointing at the brightly lit high-rise buildings outside and said with a smile:
"Like it?"
"like!"
Nodding slightly, she snuggled into Yuan Xudong's arms, holding his hands, looking at the lights outside, Wang Manni's eyes were hazy, and she murmured to herself as if she was dreaming:
“I have never discovered that the city I live in can be so beautiful and charming. It’s like I’m dreaming. One day ago, I was living in a rental house from the last century, dreaming of buying a house in Shanghai and settling down.
Now I am standing in the top mansion and looking at the night view of the entire city. I have been in Shanghai for eight years and I never dreamed that I could live in a house like this. Can you understand how I feel now?"
"I understand, of course I can understand, everyone has the right to dream, and a better life is what everyone yearns for!"
After that, he kissed Wang Manni's neck and comforted her softly:
"The world is so big, and there are countless beautiful scenery. In the next few decades, I will accompany you through it, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you can go wherever you want. Every day is a new day.
"
Listening to Yuan Xudong's sweet words, Wang Manni stretched her fair neck for him to kiss, squinted her eyes and moaned:
"I'd like to invite Nancy and the others to my house as guests. Just tonight, okay?"
"No problem, you are responsible for contacting them, and I am responsible for ordering. By the way, how many of them are there? What do they like to eat? Most importantly, what do you like to eat?"
Sparing the panting Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong teased her and said:
"I'll give you more nutrition. After all, you have to work in the store during the day and have to wait on me when you come back at night. It's really hard."
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Wang Manni opened WeChat on her mobile phone to contact Nancy, and explained to Yuan Xudong:
"There are four people in total. They can eat anything. They are not picky eaters, and I am not picky about food. In order to save money, we all eat box lunches. Eating a box lunch can save ten yuan, which can save hundreds a month.
ah!"
With a slight nod, Yuan Xudong called the real estate agent downstairs and asked them to help order a table of wine and food for six people. When the call ended, Wang Manni hugged his arm and smiled:
"I told Nancy that they will have to wait a while before they get off work. How should I introduce you when they come?"
After scratching Wang Manni's nose, Yuan Xudong smiled and joked:
"Just tell them that I am your long-lost brother. Now that the brother and sister know each other, they will live under the same roof from now on."
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Wang Manni hugged his neck, hung on him like a koala and rocked her coquettishly:
"How can we have a brother like you?"
Before Wang Manni could finish speaking, her cell phone rang. Yuan Xudong took out his phone and took a look. The caller ID showed girlfriend. Wang Manni could naturally see the word "girlfriend" hanging on his body. She let go of Yuan Xudong's neck.
, took the initiative to leave the balcony and walked back to the living room, looking slightly unnatural.
After Wang Manni left, Yuan Xudong pressed the answer button and said:
"Suo Suo, what's the matter?"
"Okay, I understand, I'll be there right away!"
"Don't worry, I will take care of it!"
"It doesn't matter, my matters are not important. Don't worry, I will protect Nansun!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Putting away his phone, Yuan Xudong walked back to the living room and saw Wang Manni sitting on the sofa. He walked over and hugged her to comfort her for a while, and said apologetically:
"Nini, I can't stay with you tonight. Please let Nancy stay with you. I have something to deal with."
"Hmm~~"
Wang Manni nodded slightly and hesitated for a moment. She raised her head and glanced at Yuan Xudong who was holding her and said hesitantly:
"Did something happen to Miss Zhu?"
"No, it's something else. I'm leaving first. Please say sorry for me and Nancy. I'll treat them to dinner next time. You should pay more attention to rest. If you have any questions, contact us via WeChat. Bye!"
Shaking his head slightly, Yuan Xudong let go of Wang Manni, kissed her on the forehead, then stood up and walked outside the house to leave. Wang Manni did not forget to remind him while sending him out:
"Please drive carefully, I will wait for you at home, bye!"
"I understand, you go back, bye!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong leaving in the elevator, Wang Manni walked back to the house alone. Looking at the luxuriously decorated duplex mansion, she didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. She had the big house she dreamed of, but she was still alone.
I don't even have the courage to ask the man I like to stay.
Time passed, and the real estate agent downstairs brought up a table of wine and food ordered by Yuan Xudong. Nancy and others also followed them into the house. Waiting for the real estate agent to leave, they looked at the luxuriously decorated mansion and surrounded Wang Manni.
Chirping:
"Nini, why are you inviting us to dinner here?"
"Is this the house you rent?"
"This is the first time I have entered such a mansion. When I delivered clothes or exchanged goods, I would wait at the door without even having a glass of water."
"I know what's going on, Nini, can I tell everyone? Please, I feel so uncomfortable holding it in!"
Rolling her eyes at Nancy, Wang Manni greeted everyone to the restaurant and said with a smile:
"Everyone, please sit down and let's chat while we eat. You are not allowed to leave until you drink and vomit tonight!"
Everyone sat around the table, looking at the long dining table, the six portions of Western food and red wine on it, and Masca said strangely:
"Nini, there are only five of us, why did you order six Western dishes?"
"I know I know!"
Rolling her eyes at Nancy who couldn't wait, Wang Manni said directly:
"The other one belongs to my boyfriend. He went out temporarily for something. Let me say sorry to you and treat you to a good meal next time I have time!"
Seeing that Wang Manni said it herself, Nancy couldn't wait to say:
"You all know Nini's boyfriend. He is Mr. Yuan who spent 4 million on custom-made high-end jewelry. Is it surprising?"
Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, Wang Manni glared at Nancy and said calmly:
"You are all my best friends. Just say what you want to say. Nancy is right. My boyfriend's name is Yuan Xudong, and he is Mr. Yuan who ordered high-end jewelry in our store."
Seeing Wang Manni talk about it, Sissy Mas just blurted out:
"Nini, isn't Mr. Yuan's girlfriend Miss Zhu? How can you be boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Before Mas could finish speaking, Ada bumped him with her elbow and then changed the subject:
"Nini, what's going on with this house? Does Mr. Yuan live here, or is it the house he rented for you?"
After taking a look at Ada, Wang Manni smiled and said:
"The house I originally rented was quite far away from here, and I had to spend more than two hours commuting to and from get off work every day, squeezing the bus and taking the subway. He felt sorry for me, so he bought this house nearby for me to move in. I just bought the house this morning. , that VIP card was given to him by the property management company."
Hearing Wang Manni say this, Nancy smiled and teased her:
"Nini, Mr. Yuan is planning to hide his beauty in a golden house so that you will never be able to escape from his clutches for the rest of your life."
Before Wang Manni could refute, Zoe on the side took a sip of red wine and said:
"In our line of work, every day when we come to work, we are greeted by rich people. If we see them too much, we will become wild and unwilling to find an ordinary boyfriend. As a result, we will be neither good nor low, Ni.
Ni, I support you. If you have the opportunity, you must seize it. You can’t spend your whole life kneeling on the ground trying on people’s shoes and clothes, right?”
Nodding slightly, Wang Manni said in a complicated voice:
"This city is full of dreams and temptations. How many people come to this city every day, and how many people want to leave. Those who graduate year after year want to stay, and those who work by the carload want to stay, just like a glass of water.
, it will always overflow when it is full.
We can only dig in as hard as we can and gain weight so that we will not be squeezed out. I have been in this city for eight years, and I still have no sense of belonging, and I don’t know where my future is, until I met
Mr. Yuan.
Do you know? I passed out in a rental house last night and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. When I was lying on the hospital bed and secretly crying, Mr. Yuan walked in. He wiped away my tears and stayed with me.
From that moment on, I knew he was the man I had been waiting for.
Although we only got together for one day, I have already fallen in love with him. I know he has a girlfriend, but I can't help but agree to be his girlfriend. I know this is wrong. I am not a good woman. I
"
Looking at Wang Manni with red eyes, Nancy couldn't help but comfort her and said:
"Nini, we are having this meal today to celebrate. Anyway, your life is getting better and better. You can live in such a big house. Many people are envious of you. Even if you are wrong, then
It's also Mr. Yuan's fault. You just fell in love with a bad man. Besides, as long as he is not married, you and Miss Zhu are in fair competition. We don't know who will win in the end!"
Looking at Nancy who was comforting herself carelessly, Wang Manni burst into laughter, calmed down her emotions slightly, raised her glass and said:
"Today is a happy day. Let's not talk about these sad things. I wish me to move into such a big house, and I wish each of you to find your own place in this city. Let's cheers!"
