The man was stunned for a moment and watched helplessly as Liu Ziguang took the rose in his hand and closed the door. He quickly held the door with one hand and said with a kind smile: "Who are you?"
"Did the cake arrive?" Li Wan, wearing an apron, appeared at the door and saw the well-dressed man. He was stunned for a moment and then said generously: "Hello, Secretary Zhao. Thank you for remembering my birthday and sending flowers."
." Then he said to Liu Ziguang: "Ziguang, just take the flowers in and put them in a vase in the living room."
Didn't Liu Ziguang realize that he was an unwanted guest when he opened the door, so that's why he acted like that? I'm visiting Mr. Li's house today, so what kind of fun are you making for it?
He nodded to Secretary Zhao, held the roses in his hands, and went in without forgetting to put his nose up to smell them and muttered that they smelled good.
Secretary Zhao asked with a calm smile on his face: "Who is this?"
"He's my boyfriend." Li Wan said without thinking.
At this moment, the door of the public elevator outside opened. A young man in red trousers came over with a large cake box, took out the receipt and asked Li Wan to sign for it. Li Wan signed his name, held the cake in his hands, and shouted to the inside: "Zi
Just come and pick up the cake." Then he said politely to Secretary Zhao: "Come in and sit down for a while?"
Secretary Zhao smiled very freely and said: "Since you have friends here, I won't disturb you. There is a meeting of the municipal committee in the evening. I will leave first. Happy birthday."
Liu Ziguang had already come out and took the big cake from Li Wan's hand and shouted at Secretary Zhao's back: "Secretary Zhao is leaving just now? Let's play some more?"
Secretary Zhao ignored him and went straight into the elevator. Looking at his distorted facial features in the mirror, he took a few long breaths and slowly exhaled. When he arrived at the huge lobby on the first floor, which was decorated like a five-star hotel, the property management staff greeted him politely.
Say hello: "Hello, Secretary Zhao."
Secretary Zhao also nodded to them politely and quickly went out and got into his Range Rover. Without moving the car, he ordered a cigarette of Helou 1916 to calm down. He felt that his face was burning. Those properties just now must be a joke.
He went up with a bouquet of flowers and then came down dejected. The hateful man upstairs actually spoke to him in such a teasing tone, and the woman Li Wan was so heartless...
…
There was a huge cake on the table in the restaurant upstairs with a lit candle on it. Everyone tacitly didn't mention the embarrassing thing just now. Liu Ziguang and Xiaocheng looked at Li Wan and silently made a wish.
Blow out the candles.
"Mom, mom, what wish did you make?" Xiao Cheng shouted, holding a plastic knife and fork.
"Xiao Cheng, guess." Li Wan said with a smile.
"Mom wants to help find a new father for Xiao Cheng. The old dad is the worst and ignores us."
Li Wan's expression became fierce: "Xiao Cheng, please don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Cheng pouted and stopped talking. Li Wan coaxed him again: "Mom**'s wish is for Xiao Cheng to grow up quickly. Will he be tall and strong like his uncle and fight bad guys to protect his mother?"
"Yes, yes." The little boy's emotions were aroused again and he waved his arms and shouted.
"Then Xiao Cheng needs to be good and eat more, do you know?" Li Wan said and went to the kitchen to bring out the food.
There are three dinner plates and silver knives and forks placed on the neat tablecloth. A candle is lit on the candle holder in the middle of the crystal wine glass. The atmosphere is immediately brightened. Today's main course is pan-fried steak imported from Australia, served with broccoli and
Carrots and fresh charcoal-grilled oysters. Liu Ziguang saw that the price is 250 yuan for imported pollution-free oysters. Then there are vegetable salads and Italian pasta.
"Do you want to drink?" Li Wan asked.
"Come on a little." Liu Ziguang said.
There is a wine cabinet in the restaurant filled with all kinds of drinks, but Li Wan has already prepared a bottle of red wine and put it in a silver ice bucket to chill. Liu Ziguang came over to help open the red wine. The two poured the wine and Xiao Cheng poured a glass of apple juice.
here we go.
Li Wan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "I don't know your taste, so don't make me laugh."
Liu Ziguang raised his glass and said, "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. I'd like to propose a toast to you. I wish you a happy birthday and wish Xiao Cheng good study and good health."
"Okay, thank you." The two raised their wine glasses and clinked them gently.
Li Wan's craftsmanship is indeed very good. The imported steak melts in your mouth and the charcoal-grilled oysters are extremely delicious. The taste of the bottle of red wine is even more otherworldly. The bottle is in French. Liu Ziguang didn't recognize it but only recognized the word "1982".
The dinner was not dull. Liu Ziguang joked about imported steaks and talked about the text he learned in elementary school. The cowhide belt and soles that the Red Army ate when crossing the grassland immediately resonated with Li Wan. She also studied that text and recalled "
The distance between two people of the same age, "Golden Fishhook" and "Seven Matches", suddenly became closer. Together they recalled many past events of the 1980s, and gradually talked about the confusion after graduation from college life, etc.
"What were you doing before coming to Zhicheng Group?" Li Wan asked, swaying the red wine in his glass.
Liu Ziguang was lost in the memories of the past for a long time before he slowly said: "In a big city in the south, I have my career, my house, my wife and children. I have a son who is as old as Xiao Cheng and a daughter who is just one year old."
age……"
"Why don't they come with you?" Li Wan asked curiously.
"They...are in another world."
Li Wan was silent. Her guess was correct. Liu Ziguang was definitely a man with extraordinary experiences. He was as deep as the night sky and as vast as the sea. The story of this man is worth exploring in a lifetime.
Maybe he had been brilliant and great and arrogant, but in the end he failed and everything was in vain. His wife and children also left him. Faced with such great setbacks and pain, he could still maintain a normal heart and return to his hometown to start over again.
Next, this perseverance and tenacity deeply impressed Li Wan.
I just don’t know how many tears and sorrow there are behind his calm face.
At this moment, Li Wan's heart suddenly moved, and he had the feeling that he was the same person in the world. He had lost his wife and children, and she had lost her husband. The two meeting in this vast sea of people seemed to be God's destined arrangement. From the moment Liu Ziguang appeared, it seemed that
He formed an indissoluble bond with Li Wan, mother and son.
"This is fate." Li Wan sighed in his heart.
After the meal, we started to eat dessert. Li Wan cut the cake and put a piece on the plate in front of everyone. Suddenly Liu Ziguang made a very bold move and took a piece of cream with his hand and spread it on Li Wan's face. Li Wan was a little at a loss for how many years.
No one had done such an intimate thing to her, but the son immediately became excited and smeared the cake on his mother's face. Li Wan yelled exaggeratedly and picked up the cake to fight back. The restaurant was full of laughter and cake.
Finally, he was crazy enough. Xiao Cheng fell asleep in his uncle's arms. The two of them gently put the child on the small bed in the bedroom and closed the curtains. It was already ten o'clock at night. Liu Ziguang was thinking about whether it was time to say goodbye and leave. Li Wan suddenly said
: "Let's have another drink."
Liu Ziguang, by some strange combination of circumstances, agreed.
The bottle of 82-year-old Lafite had been finished, and Li Wan went to open another bottle. The two of them sat in front of the long floor-to-ceiling windows, turned off the big lights in the living room, drank and talked in front of the roaring river and the bright neon lights.
A full moon in the sky is reflected in the river. Night ships passing by from time to time cut the moon's reflection into pieces. Li Wan is sitting cross-legged on the floor in yoga clothes with a wine glass in front of him. A wisp of white hair hangs down by his ears. His neck is in the moonlight.
She looked even brighter next time, drinking glass after glass of wine and telling her story to Liu Ziguang.
Li Wan is not a native of Jiangbei. When he was in college (p..com), he met Xiaocheng’s father and followed him back to Jiangbei City to start a business. The Zhicheng Group grew from scratch through the hard work of the two of them.
The real estate market in Jiangbei City has just started. They seized the opportunity and relied on financing loans to win the first piece of land to build the first phase of Zhicheng. They also made the first pot of gold. Just when their career started to take off, the husband suddenly suffered a car accident and abandoned his wife.
Let go.
Her parents-in-law have always been opposed to their marriage and blame Li Wan for their son's death. Li Wan, a weak woman, runs the company alone and bears an unknown amount of pressure. At the same time, she has to drag her children to face endless greedy eyes. This sadness is not enough for outsiders to understand.
.
Li Wan talked a lot and drank a lot. She is a person who is immune to alcohol. No matter how much wine she drinks, she will not get drunk. But in this situation and this situation, if wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk. Li Wan is drunk.
"Hold me..." Li Wan suddenly turned around and said to Liu Ziguang, his eyes blurred and he exhaled like Lan. This poor woman needs a broad shoulder and a warm embrace. It would be a crime to choose to leave at this time, so Liu Ziguang hugged Li without hesitation.
white silk.
The slender waist, the slightly trembling body, the scattered silk lips, the aroma of wine exhaled is intoxicating. Li Wan lay in Liu Ziguang's arms and began to cry freely. The night boat in the river sounded a long whistle. It was late at night.
Li Wan cried heartily and vented all the pain and grievances of the past three years. Liu Ziguang held her tightly like this, making her feel safer and more trustworthy than ever before.
It was impossible for Liu Ziguang to have no reaction in his arms with such a round and round woman full of elasticity and lust. Li Wan had probably sensed something strange about him, and suddenly he raised his head, blocked his mouth, and leaned forward.
The two fell down on the thick, warm Uzbek carpet.
Outside the window, the autumn mood was strong in this house in Jinguan City, but the house in Jinguan City was full of spring. The long whistle and the suppressed desire in Li Wan's throat formed a unique serenade.
