Parting is like wind, love is like fire; it can extinguish the warm fire, and it can also fan the fierce fire even brighter. - Busi Labudan

Ruochu was reading mom Qin Nan's blog in the office. The cooking competition last night was pretty close. If one of the dishes wasn't cooked enough, there would be no problem winning. We made an appointment to continue tonight and watch Daddy.
They were also very interested. Last night, the two of us went to the supermarket to buy vegetables. It felt weird, but it was also very interesting. I went to the supermarket with my mother before. My mother has very high requirements for the quality of vegetables and meat.
You have to check it carefully and pick out the one that looks the best. But daddy is different. He has the simplest way. No matter what it is, just pick the most expensive one. He is indeed a man.
Even though it was a competition, the two of them prepared together in the kitchen and helped each other. For example, if Ruochu was not good at knife skills, Xiaochuan took the initiative to help, so Ruochu found that Xiaochuan was not much better than her, half a pound to eight.
Two, but the whole process was very relaxed and enjoyable. We talked and laughed for more than three hours before we had dinner. We ate what the two of us worked hard to make. Ruochu felt that every dish was delicious, and Daddy
I also agree with her understanding,
I wanted to continue yesterday's happiness today, but I just received a call from my godmother, and I had a party to meet Bernard in the evening. I was very happy to see Uncle Bernard.
Not long after the phone call was received, the receptionist at the front desk sent a note: "Dear little Sabina, would you be honored to buy you a glass of watermelon juice in the cafe downstairs?" There was no signature.
If you smile at first, it seems that we can see you soon without having to wait until night.
I said hello to my dad on MSN and said I wanted to leave for a while, so I went downstairs. There was only a coffee shop on the first floor of this office building. As soon as Ruochu entered, he saw Bernard waiting inside.
"Wow, little Bina has really grown up. No wonder your godmother always says, what to drink, watermelon juice?" Bernard said before Ruochu could say hello.
"Coffee." Ruochu said with a smile. He drank watermelon juice when he was a child, but now he has grown up. Bernard nodded and called the waiter.
"How are you, Uncle Bernard? I haven't seen you for a long time. My godmother just called me and knew you were here. I was so happy that I saw you now." Ruochu was polite at first.
Although I have been very familiar with Bernard since childhood, it was still when I was a child, and there were very few opportunities to meet when I grew up. Bernard usually accompanied Xiaoqing when he came to China, and it was not easy to see him unless he did it deliberately, especially if he was Ruochu.
There will be a knot in her heart. After all, she was a little "spy" who betrayed Bernard. Although this incident became a joke for a while, and no one including Bernard blamed her, but every time she saw Bernard
It's always a bit embarrassing.
After not seeing each other for a long time, there is a certain distance, and Ruochu is not as outgoing as she usually behaves. As Qin Nan's daughter, she is still somewhat shy in her bones, especially when facing a man alone.
"How are your parents? Do I still have a chance?" Bernard made a joke when Ruochu's coffee was served.
Ruochu was startled, and just didn't know how to reply, "I was joking, don't mind, haha." Bernard immediately clarified, Ruochu smiled, and suddenly he didn't feel restrained. It turned out that the uncle was still to blame.
That weird uncle has not changed for decades.
"They are very good. I'm afraid you still don't have a chance, uncle." Ruochu also made a joke.
Bernard cooperated and made an exaggerated expression of disappointment, and Ruochu smiled knowingly.
"Uncle Bernard, I have a very presumptuous question?" Ruochu stirred the coffee, and she suddenly wanted to do something for her godmother, and the man in front of her was related to her godmother's happiness for the rest of her life.
"Oh, feel free to ask?"
"Will you propose to your godmother again?" Thinking of what her godmother had promised herself before, if Bernard proposed again this time, she would consider it. Ruochu was very curious and at the same time very nervous about Bernard's answer, fearing that he would get the answer.
The answer is no. Now Ruochu really wants to see the people she loves get together. She doesn't understand that two people who are obviously a perfect match are just spending time together, and she doesn't know when the end will be.
Bernard spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "I don't know either."
"What?" Ruochu suddenly stood up from the sofa. Could it be that Uncle Bernard was ready to give up on her godmother? This was an absolute blow to her.
Bernard stood up and pushed Ruochu back to the sofa, "Sabina, this is why I'm looking for you today. You listen to me first."
Ruochu frowned and looked at Bernard, looking for her? Uncle Bernard was looking for her because of her godmother? She was really not mentally prepared.
"Sabina, I know you are wondering why I came to you. What I said is true, because you are the person your godmother trusts most. In a sense, you know her better than me, so,
I hope to get your help, I am very sincere." Bernard looked into Ruochu's eyes and said word by word.
Ruochu nodded numbly, her heart shocked by what Bernard said that she was the person whom her godmother trusted the most.
"I think I'm in love with her." Bernard leaned back on the sofa and lit a cigarette at the same time.
"Then you didn't love her before?" Ruochu asked. If you say you fell in love with her now, how can you explain the previous twelve marriage proposals?
"I wasn't sure before. I just thought she was a suitable marriage partner and wanted to get her. But now my idea is that even if she never agrees to marry me, I won't leave her. Do you understand?"
Bernard said as he thought.
Ruochu nodded in understanding.
"However, I still have responsibilities. My family needs me to take responsibility. I can't be as free as Humbert. I have to marry someone. I don't want her to have no status. If there must be a countess, I
I hope it's her, but I don't know if she still hates this status as before, or if she doesn't love me enough to leave her now..."
Bernard's words were a little incoherent, but Ruochu still got the exciting information for her. It turned out that Uncle Bernard was not planning to give up, so everything would be easier. She wanted to tell him that if he proposed again,
The chance of success was very high, but I still held back. After all, this was a secret between my godmother and myself.
"Actually, my family has been putting pressure on me, and I have resisted it for so many years, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if I don't get married for one day, I will..."
"Do you have to endure constant harassment?" Ruochu answered Bernard's words.
"You are so smart. It seems that I have found the right person for you." Bernard sighed.
"Where." Ruochu realized that he was talking too much and smiled.
"Uncle Bernard, I don't know what to say, but people will change..." Ruochu was thinking about how to hint Bernard and let him continue to propose. In this way, she might try to persuade her godmother.
A good marriage has been made, and she no longer has to shadow Uncle Bernard, and her mother and father can feel at ease, right? Alas, who let the godmother and Bernard have a relationship with their own mother and father?
It goes on and on. If Chu had known for a long time that her godmother was originally engaged to her father, when she was bored, she would think that if her godmother really married her father, then she would not be like this now, and then she would
I don't think it's right. If that were the case, it would be a question of whether or not I have one.
"You mean..." Bernard noticed Ruochu's hint, "Sabina, did your godmother mention me to you? Or did she have any comments about me?" Maybe you can learn from this little girl's behavior.
produce useful information.
Ruochu thought about it and made a decision, "Godmother, she loves you very much." After saying this, she despised herself and asked her godmother to forgive her for making her own decisions. Otherwise, she would have missed this good man.
She will definitely regret it for the rest of her life, because she made it up herself. After saying this, she quickly lowered her head to drink coffee, fearing that Bernard would continue to ask more questions.
"Really? Did she really tell you that?" Bernard was really reluctant, and this information was really exciting.
"Don't you see it?" Ruochu asked a rhetorical question, not to express her affirmation, but because she felt guilty.
Bernard sighed, as if talking to himself, or saying to Ruochu: "It seems that this plan can really be carried out."
Ruochu looked at him suspiciously.
"Sabina, let me ask you a favor, okay?"
"you say."
So Bernard told her his arrangement, and Ruochu slowly opened her mouth and forgot to close it. When Bernard finished speaking and looked at her expectantly, Ruochu realized that she had lost her composure.
"Will this be difficult?" Ruochu thought it was not difficult, but too difficult, but this plan was very attractive to her and made her blood boil.
"Of course there will be difficulties, but I believe she will listen to you. The key here is your role. My confidence in you depends on whether you have it or not." Bernard rarely said seriously.
Ruochu looked at Bernard steadily and saw firmness in his eyes, "Okay, I promise you, we will succeed." She also risked her life for the happiness of her godmother.
Bernard raised his coffee cup and said, "Cheers."
There was nothing much to talk about at the evening party. Everyone was very happy for Bernard's arrival. Bernard complained that Qin Bei and the others did not bring him with them to start a business and clamored to become a shareholder. Ruochu had a secret agreement with Bernard and felt uneasy in his heart.
It was hard to express something, so I secretly observed Xiaoqing and Bernard's performance, and found that my godmother was smiling all the time, from the bottom of her heart, and her complexion was much better. Maybe I was right, my godmother really fell in love with her.
Uncle Bernard is here.
Xiaochuan sat next to Ruochu and kept serving dishes to her. He was just curious about why this girl kept wandering off tonight.
There were no other programs arranged after the meal, because the protagonist Xiaoqing was eager to go back to the world of two.
Bernard really spent several days in China this time. During the day, he went to the branch while Xiaoqing was at work, and in the evening, he cooked for Xiaoqing. The two of them flirted with each other without any scruples, and they seemed to have a sweet life.
During their childhood, Bernard felt Xiaoqing's dependence on her, so he didn't mention leaving until one day Xiaoqing drove him back.
Bernard never let Xiaoqing take him to the airport, so this time Xiaoqing just sent him to the elevator. The two stood in front of the elevator and kissed passionately until it was almost too late if he didn't leave. Bernard entered
In the elevator, at the moment when the door was about to close, Xiaoqing called out "Bernie". Bernard quickly held the door that was about to close with her hands. "It's okay." Xiaoqing swallowed what she was about to say and faced him.
She waved her hand and turned to go home. She was really not used to seeing the elevator door separating two people like this.
In fact, she wanted to say, "Come and propose on your birthday this year. As long as you come, I will agree to it." But she couldn't say it.
Once again, I was mentally prepared that this was the last time we would see each other, but I was also full of hope for the upcoming birthday. It turns out that falling in love with someone is like this, so this can be considered an expectation.
