Brad said in a soft voice with a smile: "it doesn't matter. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll go to the hotel. I just don't know if there is a suitable room in the hotel on the island now..." and then he patted her on the shoulder and turned to leave.

"Ah..." Li Qingning looked at the figure he had just turned over and cried, "otherwise... You'd better live with me now. When your house is repaired, you can go back."

When he looked back, he had a bright smile on his face. He was as happy as a child. "Qingning, I knew you would not like me to go to the hotel without my shirt on."

She turned to let him in, shook her head and closed the door.

"Did I disturb your sleep? I'm really sorry. " After he entered the door, he turned and looked down at her, with his back to the light. A well-defined face was shrouded in a shadow, looking with a different kind of tenderness.

"No more." Li Qingning stepped back to a safe distance and said faintly, "anyway, I'm dreaming."

"That's good," Brad said, with a relieved look on his face. "Do you have any wine here? I've just experienced that thrilling experience. Now it's probably only alcohol and you that can calm me down."

Li Qingning dodged his sight, some unnatural smile, said: "well, I'll get it, you wait."

She went back to her room, picked up more than half of the Bordeaux wine left in the bottle, took another goblet, and looked at Xiaosheng, who was still sleeping soundly. Then she walked downstairs, biting her lips, and a trace of sadness flashed in her expression.

"Look at you, are you drinking on your own again? Little drunkard Brad sat on the sofa, his eyes fell on Li Qingning who was walking towards him, and his voice was full of spoiled words.

But her tone is still light, said: "Oh, but was blown by the sea breeze, a little sober, thinking that a drink will be better sleep."

Pretending to be very calm, she turned a blind eye to the ambiguous atmosphere in front of him. She went to him, put the glass and wine in front of him, and sat on the sofa far away from him on the other side. She lowered her head and stopped talking, just sipping the wine in her glass quietly.

So they sat in silence, tasting the wine in their goblets, and the invisible and unknown things in their hearts.

I don't know how long after that, Li Qingning only felt that the stars outside had become dark, and finally broke the silence surrounding them. "It's late. The guest room on the first floor has been cleaned up. During this time, you can live there. I went to sleep."

Finish saying, stand up at the same time also subconsciously softly sighed. Just as she turned to go upstairs, suddenly a force pulled her from behind.

Brad held her slender wrist tightly with the hot temperature in the palm of her hand. Her voice was slightly drunk. He said softly, "Qingning, don't go. Why do you always push me away like this? You have divorced. That man no longer belongs to you. Do you really intend to spend your whole life guarding your tiny memories? "

When she looked back, her eyes were covered with mist, but her face was full of stubbornness. She bit her lower lip and did not let tears flow out. Looking at the man's face behind her, she slowly said, "maybe what you said is right, but Brad, emotional things are never either right or wrong, It's not that if I leave him, I have to choose another person. I have a good life with Xiao Sheng now. I don't want to change my current life. I'm sorry, if you feel that you can't get along with me like a normal friend, then... I can help you find a hotel after dawn. "

He said that he was about to break away from his hand, but he did not expect that he held her more tightly. He pulled her into his arms, tightly tied her body, and pressed her chin against her head. In his voice, he choked and prayed, "Qingning, I beg you not to push me away, OK? Even if you don't promise me now, it doesn't matter. Let me stay with you and take care of you and Xiao Sheng, OK? I swear, I will never force you to make a decision again... "

At the end of the day, he began to cry in his voice. He pressed his face tightly against her temples, and his chest made that kind of "sobbing" sound similar to several times of sadness.

Li Qingning struggled a few times, but every time she tried to push him away, he would only hold him more tightly, so she simply let go and let him hold her. Her eyes were red. When she was held by this man in her arms, her brain was full of the shadow of another person, his smile, the indifference he gave out when he didn't speak, And the smell of him that fascinates her.

When Li Lin walked into the office, Mrs. LAN raised her head from a pile of documents, motioned her to sit down across the desk, then took the document she handed over, and calmly asked, "no third person knows about this?"

Li Lin took a deep breath. Her heart seemed to be tightened by an invisible net. She nodded gently.

"The current records of these years in Swiss bank and my personal financial situation can at least help Lan Qing not to face the current situation, even if he can't completely clear the charge of Lan Qing. I'm also tired. Maybe this is the best way Mrs. LAN flipped through the contents of the folder and said slowly, like talking to herself.

"Are you going to... Take the blame?"

"This is the worst way, if Jiawen is willing to stop now, maybe it can be recovered."

"But now Mr. He doesn't want to see us. Mr. LAN is going to hold a shareholders' meeting, and Mr. LAN has been locked up for so long..."

Li Lin looks at Mrs. LAN sitting in the backlight. It seems that she has always been that shrewd and tough woman. She has never changed. Even the cold lines on her face are the same as Lan Qing.

"I Cao Yanqing has lived for so many years, if even my son can't be saved," said Mrs. LAN coldly, throwing her folder on the table, "then I will accompany him."

The earth is spinning all the time, changing different angles, and winter finally comes to this city.

When the light from the eastern horizon pierces through the darkness, everyone wakes up from their dreams, and then looks at the sleeping world in front of them and wakes up a little bit.

In other words, it was too late to wake up, but fell into another cruel and turbid dream.
