【Muah! I love you, Fang~ I won't go back for lunch today. I still have to work overtime in the studio. I probably won't be able to go back...】
She also sent a picture of making a heart shape with her fingers afterwards.
【Oh. Alright. Take care of yourself and don't overwork.】
The man sent a voice message. His voice was still hoarse and pleasant, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
【Okay.】
Fang Siyan these days is really like a little daughter - in - law waiting for her husband to come home every day.
There were no classes during the summer vacation, and there were not many company affairs recently. Every time Fang Siyan finished his work, the house was empty.
His little wife was so hard - working that she could even forget about him.
Several times he went to pick up Ding Ruola from work. His little wife would look at him in surprise with that kind of “I just remembered you” expression, which made his heart ache with jealousy.
Fang Siyan put the sweet and sour spare ribs he had made into a thermal lunch box, feeling even more upset.
Suddenly he remembered when he used to go to work. Did Ding Ruola feel the same way as he did now?
Waiting at home every day for her early - to - rise and late - to - return lover, and even having to make an appointment for mealtime...
Professor Fang felt that he finally understood how his little wife used to feel! His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
When Ding Ruola returned to the office, it was already twelve o'clock.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw a group of people gathered around a table, eating and drinking.
On the table were sweet and sour spare ribs, spicy pig's trotters, and kung pao chicken, all her favorite dishes!
She even suspected that she had gone to the wrong place. Just as Ding Ruola was about to go out and check the big characters of Xing Ruyu Studio, Professor Fang, the culprit sitting in the crowd, called her.
“Ruoruo, come and have lunch.” Fang Siyan was sitting in the crowd, looking radiant. His cheeks were a bit flushed from eating.
The table was full of sumptuous dishes, like a wedding feast in someone's house.
Next to him was Lu Hui, stuffing food into her mouth vigorously, and classmate Mei, calmly and elegantly picking up dishes.
Ding Ruola and Jiang Chen: “...”
Ding Ruola just felt a toothache and twitched the corner of her mouth.
She saw Professor Fang gracefully take out a few thermal lunch boxes from behind: “Ruoruo, hurry up and eat! I've saved some for you...”
Ding Ruola: “...”
After everyone was full, the smell of food in the room had almost dissipated.
The Xing Ruyu team gathered in a circle around the conference table. Ding Ruola flipped through the documents.
The project of the European Gu Family's garden design was almost finished.
She stood up and put the documents into a briefcase: “Who will accompany me to hand in the work this time?”
“I will. Mr. Claudius is still in the hospital. Lu Hui and Mei Xuejian should stay in the studio to take care of things.”
Jiang Chen stood up handsomely, flexed his wrists, and his eyes were full of calmness and unruly charm.
“Okay! I'll stay in the studio with Brother Xuejian. A combination of a man and a woman will surely do a great job!”
Lu Hui's eyes sparkled with little red hearts, and her pride was hard to hide on her face.
Mei Xuejian beside her: “...” looking calm with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Lu Hui: “...”
The next day.
When Ding Ruola and Jiang Chen arrived at the European airport, it was already evening. Gu Tingjun, the eldest young master of the Gu Family, came to pick them up in person.
The man was always looking frail and delicate because of his poor health.
His white woolen overcoat wrapped his thin body, giving him a kind of special beauty.
Ding Ruola was wearing a silver - white thin fox fur coat, and her smooth black hair was casually scattered.
Her fair little face was glowing, not as white as snow. A touch of red lips was the finishing touch. She had an enchanting and independent charm.
Jiang Chen beside her was wearing a black BF - style cuffed casual suit. The high - waisted pants were handsome and trendy, in the hip - hop style.
His black hair was neatly tied up, making him look neat and handsome.
The two of them standing together actually gave an instant feeling of a perfect match!
Seeing Ding Ruola and Jiang Chen, Gu Tingjun hung a faint smile on his lips.
A black Bentley quickly took them to the Lola Manor.
The twilight was falling, and the whole castle of the Lola Manor was surrounded by a solemn and majestic atmosphere.
Gu Tingjun led them to the living room.
The huge room was not the resplendent European - style auditorium they had been to last time, but a spacious and bright antique - style living room.
One second it was a row of palace - style castles, and the next second it was like entering an ancient hall.
Ding Ruola suddenly remembered Yin Han's small courtyard, so she didn't find it strange. But it was Jiang Chen's first time here, and he was a bit surprised.
The woman sitting in the hall was wearing a blue - black cheongsam, looking elegant and noble, adorned with pearls and jewels.
There was always a faint smile on her face, but her shrewdness and competence could not be hidden in her eyes.
Beside her was Yin Han, standing alone like a hermit. The man was wearing a blue - and - white porcelain long robe with a black overcoat on the outside, standing quietly on one side.
The sapphire stud in his ear emitted a strange light. Yin Han always seemed out of place with the world no matter where he was.
It wasn't that the mortal world was full of debauchery and vulgarity, but that Yin Han's temperament was too outstanding.
“Mom, this is Designer Ding that Xiaoxue invited before. I heard that she is from Brother Siyan's studio and is very capable.”
Gu Tingjun's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the woman sitting in the hall respectfully.
The woman hooked the corner of her mouth, looking kind - hearted. She smiled at Ding Ruola and Jiang Chen: “Good, very good. I wonder how the design draft is?”
“We used the design style of the central country's gardens to create a design draft with the theme of advocating nature. The natural scenery is pleasant and beneficial for Mr. Gu's recovery from his injury.”
“Moreover, considering that Mr. Gu is a Chinese, Chinese people have a strong nostalgia. So we also added some elements of traditional Chinese style. We set up some shadow puppet shows, pavilions and terraces around the garden as ornamental facilities.”
Ding Ruola explained calmly and confidently. Her black hair fell like a river, and there was a faint blush on her snow - white face.
Mrs. Gu sized up the girl, and finally a sincere smile appeared in her eyes: “Not bad, not bad. May I ask how old the girl is? Are you engaged?”
The woman looked at Ding Ruola and glanced at Gu Tingjun from time to time. There was a glint in her eyes, as if she had some bad intentions.
Hearing this, Yin Han beside her raised his eyebrows. An unclear look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ding Ruola calmly.
“Cough cough, what?”
Ding Ruola suddenly felt a bit confused. When she reacted, she felt a bit embarrassed.
There was a dull look on her pink and blooming face, making her look a bit silly and cute.
“Mom, why are you asking this?”
Gu Tingjun beside her also looked at Mrs. Gu, rubbing his temple and blaming her softly.
“Hahaha, Miss Ding is already married. Her husband is Mr. Fang Siyan.”
Jiang Chen let out a hearty laugh and simply and directly told the truth, breaking the awkwardness among them.
