There was a knock on the door within the workplace, Ning You stated “Are available”, after which continued to observe the documentary on his pc display.“Chief Ning.” Xiao Zhao pushed the door open. The phrases have been already on the tip of his tongue, however when she noticed Ning You wanting on the animal world once more, she couldn’t assist however ask, “Is the animal world that good?” 

Ning You pressed the pause button and requested from Xiao Zhao: “Go discover some animal expertsfor me. I’ve some inquiries to ask.”

Xiao Zhao confirmed a puzzled expression: “Chief Ning, do you have got a pet?”

“No.” Ning You stated, “Simply search for it.”

Xiao Zhao made an “OK” gesture and was about to show round and go away when she instantly remembered what she got here for, and knowledgeable Ning You, “By the best way, Chief Ning, President Li is right here.” 

Ning You appeared on the pc display and requested, “Which President Li?”

Xiao Zhao replied, “Your fiance.”

“Why did he come right here?” Ning You was slightly shocked, as a result of Li Zhao had by no means come to the corporate to seek out him.

However he instantly knew that he was making a idiot of himself, Li Zhao didn’t come to the corporate for him.

“He went to Director Ning’s workplace, gained’t you go up and take a look?” Xiao Zhao steered.

Ning You had a barely dangerous feeling in his coronary heart. Two days after coming back from Xinjiang, he hadn’t found out the right way to focus on the wedding contract along with his mother and father, however he didn’t anticipate Li Zhao to be one step forward of him.

“Animal professional.” Ning You instructed Xiao Zhao once more, after which hurried to the chairman’s workplace on the next ground.

The Director Ning that Xiao Zhao talks about is Ning You’s mom, Ning Xin. 

Ning You’s father can be a “daochamento marry and dwell with the bride’s household]/tn]”, so the Ning household doesn’t reject this methodology of marriage. It’s simply that Ning’s proper to talk continues to be in Ning Xin’s fingers, and will probably be in Ning You’s fingers sooner or later——althoughit will take a very long time.

When Ning You got here to Ning Xin’s workplace, Li Zhao and Ning Xin had simply completed greeting one another, and the secretary hadn’t had time to serve sizzling tea.

Ning Xin pushed down her gold-rimmed glasses, considerably shocked by Ning You’s look, whereas Li Zhao stood up consciously, buttoned his go well with jacket, and greeted Ning You: “You’re right here.”

Ning You nodded politely and requested, “Why didn’t you inform me that you simply have been coming?” 

“I didn’t need to disturb you.” Li Zhao stated, “There are some issues I needed to debate with Director Ning.”

“Don’t be so courteous.” The Secretary served three cups of tea on the proper time. Ning Xin picked it up and blew it gently, and stated to Li Zhao, “Simply name me auntie.”

Li Zhao instantly responded: “Auntie.”

“Sit down.” Ning Xin raised her chin towards Ning You, indicating that he might additionally hearken to the dialog. 

Ning You was slightly confused in regards to the scenario, however nonetheless sat down and waited to see what would occur.

“Relating to the long run growth route of the corporate,” Li Zhao stated, “Based on the earlier assembly, it’s synthetic intelligence plus life sciences.”

“That’s proper.” Ning Xin put down the teacup in her hand, leaving solely a really gentle lipstick mark on the mouth of the cup, “Are there any issues?”

“No, I simply have some new concepts.” 

Li Zhao started to speak in regards to the growth of the Li household, and Ning You instantly realized one factor. It turned out that the Ning and Li households had already communicated about the way forward for the corporate, and he had no thought about it.

He didn’t really feel offended, as a result of it was he himself who took the initiative to surrender his senior administration place and simply needed to focus on the mission in hand.

The explanation why Ning Xin requested him to decide on a fiance was additionally as a result of he had no intention of managing and wanted somebody to take over the corporate affairs.

Nevertheless it wasn’t till then that Ning You found that he and Li Zhao didn’t belong in the identical degree. 

Li Zhao is the pinnacle of Li household and a youthful era to the Ning household. Li Zhao can bypass him to debate enterprise issues instantly along with his mother and father, but when he has any opinions, he can solely increase them along with his mother and father. It doesn’t imply that the Ning household can instantly focus on with Li Zhao.

“We donate to the Environmental Safety Basis yearly, which I feel is sufficient.”

Ning Xin’s tone nonetheless carries the identical amiability attribute of an elder as earlier, however it’s clear that she doesn’t have endurance for provides that don’t curiosity her.

“The donation will not be sufficient.”

Ning You couldn’t assist however chime in. 

“Why,” Ning Xin requested amusedly, “You’re not even married but, and you’ve got already began to assist your future husband?”

Ning You was instantly embarrassed. The phrases “future husband” sounded extraordinarily ironic in his ears. Who let him inadvertently sleep along with his future brother-in-law?

Nevertheless, Li Zhao behaved as decently as ever. He fought for a couple of extra phrases with Ning Xin, and eventually stopped sparsely, and located an excuse to depart and say goodbye.

Popping out of Ning Xin’s workplace, Ning You stored up with Li Zhao’s tempo intently, desirous to ask him about his intentions of coming over right now. However as a result of there was a secretary by the door, he needed to swallow his doubts again into his abdomen. 

“Are you free this weekend?” Li Zhao took the initiative to speak to Ning You, “I’ll take you horseback using.”

Ning You subconsciously felt slightly resistant, as a result of using a horse has a particular that means to him.

Li Zhao might see that he didn’t need to go, including, “My brother’s favourite sport.”

Nicely, exactly. 

Ning You pursed his lips and stated, “Go.”

Quick ahead to the weekend, Li Zhao took Ning You to a horse farm within the suburbs.

Ning You’d naturally not lease a cavalryman’s uniform from the horse farm. He had already requested Xiao Zhao to buy a whole set of kit for him, together with a black horsewhip.

Li Zhao on the opposite aspect additionally turned into a good-looking cavalryman’s uniform. He checked out Ning You twice and stated with a smile: “It’s fairly skilled.” 

Initially, Ning You didn’t perceive why Li Zhao was laughing. It wasn’t till the workers of the horse farm introduced him a pony that he realized that Li Zhao thought he couldn’t journey a horse.

To be exact, Li Mu is the one one on the earth who is aware of that Ning You’ll be able to journey a horse——using a horse in each sense.

This additionally exhibits that Li Mu didn’t reveal an excessive amount of in regards to the two of them to Li Zhao.

Ning You requested somebody to change for a medium-sized horse, after which recalled what Li Mu taught him, and ran a couple of laps within the venue. 

After the quick tempo modified to a sluggish stroll, Li Zhao caught up from the aspect. He walked aspect by aspect with Ning You and requested, “Did Li Mu educate you?”

Ning You nodded: “Hmm.”

“I knew it.” Li Zhao stated, “It’s precisely the identical as him. At first look, it’s unorthodox.”

The antonym of unorthodox was educational. Li Zhao’s using actions are clearly the usual educational, noble and lovely, in no way like Ning You and Li Mu. Be as snug as you want. 

If it have been every other event, Ning You’d have felt embarrassed.

It’s as if he used the fallacious approach of utilizing cutlery and was thought of tough and unrefined, like a reckless man.

However the unusual factor is that he unexpectedly loved the sensation of being in a faction with Li Mu, as if he was hooked on the barbaric type.

This isn’t okay. 

Ning You warned himself.

“By the best way,” Li Zhao began one other matter, “The evening we got here again, Li Mu known as me.”

“Hmm?” Ning You instantly pricked up his ears.

As of late, Ning You has been afraid to contact Li Mu. One is as a result of the 2 had beforehand agreed to not contact one another once more, and he didn’t need to be the one who took the initiative; the opposite is as a result of he didn’t take into consideration the right way to take care of the wedding contract, even when he known as, he didn’t know what to say. 

However not contacting doesn’t imply he doesn’t miss him.

He would wash his fingers with Li Mu’s cleaning soap each evening, with out making use of any hand cream, and simply go to sleep smelling Li Mu’s scent.

“Do you need to know what he stated to me?” Li Zhao can see Ning You’s nervousness.

Ning You instantly found that since Li Zhao knew about his relationship with Li Mu, he spoke rather more liberally, and he not paid consideration to being well mannered as earlier than, however appeared to treat him as a buddy of his youthful brother. 

“If you wish to inform me.” Ning You stated.

“He stated he desires you.”

Ning You’s coronary heart thumped, and a secret pleasure gushed out. He might categorical his feelings with out hesitation in entrance of Li Mu, however he couldn’t when dealing with Li Zhao, so he put up a entrance and barely raised his chin and stated, “Actually.”

“I thought of it and determined it was okay so that you can marry me in title however be with him in actuality.” 

“What?” Ning You frowned.

“His response is identical as yours.” Li Zhao smiled, “There’s another choice, I don’t thoughts him marrying you, however……”

“However?” Ning You couldn’t assist urging.

“Do you have got a method to get him again?” Li Zhao stated. 

Ning You understood the that means of Li Zhao’s phrases, and for some time didn’t know the right way to reply.

“Initially, I believed that with Ning as a backer, the corporate might enhance its funding in environmental safety, in order that he might come again and marry you, and I might simply implement my singleness.”

“However you have got seen auntie’s perspective, and different shareholders would be the similar. They aren’t all in favour of what Li Mu desires to do. Do you assume Li Mu could be prepared to return again as a ornament?”

“Or on the very least, Ning and Li households is not going to be joined in marriage. Who’re you prepared to fall in love with and who’re you prepared to marry? That’s your freedom. However the premise is that it’s a must to let Li Mu return to the town. I don’t assume auntie will agree with you to dwell within the mountains.” 

“Since he known as you,” Ning You stated, “Isn’t it as a result of he has the need to return again?”

“He does.” Li Zhao chuckled frivolously, “He desires me to depart the Li household’s enterprise to him to maintain, in order that he has a that means to return again.”

“However you don’t need to.” Ning You stated.

“Sure.” Li Chao stated, “He can marry you, and I’ll bless you. However he can not marry you as the pinnacle of the Li household, as a result of that’s my seat and the shareholders of the corporate is not going to approve of his growth technique.” 

That’s the place the contradiction lies.

If Li Mu couldn’t discover the that means of coming again, it could be inconceivable for him to place apart all the things and return to the town.

Though the three of them have talked about getting married, that’s the place the premise of an union exists.

In truth, Ning You and Li Mu have solely identified one another for lower than two weeks, and there may be even per week with out contact. Even Ning You himself will not be positive if Li Mu returns to the town like this and turns into an odd individual, will he nonetheless have that form of emotions for Li Mu. 

“So what did he say?” Ning You requested.

“He didn’t inform me.” Li Zhao stated, “You’ll be able to go ask him.”

Ning You faintly felt dangerous, as a result of Li Mu had already talked to Li Zhao a lot, however he had by no means actively contacted him.

He got here to the nook of the horse farm, took out his cellphone and known as Li Mu, however the voice name prompted that the cellphone was turned off. 

That is very unusual.

Li Mu’s cellphone typically doesn’t work on account of poor sign, however he has by no means turned off the cellphone.

Ning You known as two extra instances, and it was nonetheless turned off.

He got here to the secure and needed to borrow Li Zhao’s cellphone to strive once more, however when he got here to the remaining space, he noticed that Li Zhao was truly smoking. 

“Li Zhao.” Ning You known as out with a frown.

Li Zhao rotated, put out his cigarette unhurriedly, and stated to Ning You, “Have you ever talked to him?”

“His cellphone is turned off.” Ning You stated, “I keep in mind you stated you wouldn’t smoke.”

Li Zhao didn’t deny it: “You don’t care anyway, do you?” 

Ning You lastly understood why Li Zhao’s perspective had modified, as a result of he was the one who didn’t care anymore.

He doesn’t have to earn efficiency factors in entrance of Ning You anymore. Anyway, Li Mu has already bought a full rating, and it doesn’t make sense for him to earn any extra.

However that’s not even the principle level.

Ning You checked out Li Zhao and requested, “Did you smoke within the forest too?” 

“I do know in regards to the fireplace, Ning You.” Li Zhao replied amusedly, “It wasn’t me, okay?”

Earlier than seeing Li Zhao smoking, Ning You’d consider 100% of what he stated, as a result of Li Zhao felt mature and secure, not like an individual who will lie.

However now it appears that evidently no matter whether or not the reason for the fireplace was him or not, at the very least it’s sure that maturity and stability usually are not the standards for evaluating an individual. Maybe that was simply the looks of a deep and insightful individual.

Returning residence from the horse farm, Ning You made quite a few cellphone calls to Li Mu. 

He had numerous professional causes to contact Li Mu——to ask him about his ideas on the wedding contract, however other than this high-sounding excuse, in reality, his most actual motivation was that he missed Li Mu.

From the afternoon to the night, the decision immediate continues to be turned off.

After such a very long time, it’s inconceivable that the cable within the cabin has not been repaired. Even when Li Mu forgot to cost his cellphone throughout the day, he ought to have returned to the cabin by now.

Because the time approached midnight, Ning You’s coronary heart turned increasingly more uneasy. He approached Xiao Zhao and requested her to contact the individual in command of the Hanas Lake Scenic Space to see if anybody had heard from Li Mu.“Chief Ning, are you aware what time it’s now?” 

“Sorry, I’ve one thing pressing.”

“It’s midnight.”

“It’s equal to 10 o’clock within the night on their aspect.”

Having stated that, Ning You was certainly slightly upset, and stated, “I’ll add a bonus to you this month.” 

Certain sufficient, the bonus was nonetheless very highly effective. Inside ten minutes, Xiao Zhao had information and known as Ning You again and stated, “Chief Ning, I requested Chief Lin on their aspect. President Li’s youthful brother was injured within the means of catching the poacher. He has been hospitalized for the previous two days.”

“What?” The uneasiness in his coronary heart was actually not unreasonable, Ning You sat up from the mattress with a whoosh, “E book a ticket to Hanas for me straight away.”

“Now?” Xiao Zhao was dumbfounded, “Then are you continue to going to work on Monday?”

“Push off all my work.”
