time is with you

Chapter 40
The man quickly understood what she meant, pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I will make it up before the engagement."

After all, he has almost finished planning, and all arrangements are going smoothly. He hopes to give her a unique surprise by then.

"Are you so sure that I will agree?" Mei Ran deliberately asked back.It's a pity that the smile slowly rippling from the bottom of the clear and clean eyes has already betrayed her - she is clearly saying "I do" every turn.

"Not sure." He cooperated with her.

"Can you reveal your general plan in advance," Mei Ran shook his hand, "let me make a mental preparation first."

"No." The man smiled lowly, "Unless you bribe me with something."

He deliberately bit down on a certain word.

"You should keep it a secret." She repeatedly emphasized, "Don't tell me a word."

The man's clear brows and eyes were full of smiles, "That's really a pity, I just wanted to ask you for one thing."

"what?"

He raised his chin slightly to indicate a certain direction, and Mei Ran looked over, her gaze fell on the pile of presents on the table, and she asked in disbelief, "The thing you want is inside?"

Is it that simple?Is she delusional?
"Otherwise what do you think it is?" Fu Shijin led her and walked over.

Mei Ran began to sit down and unwrap the presents.

Probably the French people have an innate romance in their bones. The gift packaging is very delicate and exquisite. Even the two small ribbons of the bow tie are symmetrical and of equal length. Drop a pleasing piece of art.

"This?" She picked up the lifetime platinum membership card of a certain airline and waved it in front of his eyes.

Fu Shijin shook his head slowly.

Mei Ran shrugged and continued to disassemble, and found a bunch of car keys after a while, "Huh?"

"No."

He opened more than a dozen gifts in a row, but he still couldn't find what he was looking for. Looking at the pile full of gifts, Mei Ran couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, and her energy was not as strong as before.

She glanced at the man sitting next to him, and saw that he was crossing his slender legs, with an expression of indescribable satisfaction, and was flipping through a magazine in his hand, only raising his head to answer her from time to time.

Mei Ran carelessly peeled a small black box out of the wrapping paper. She didn't control the force well when opening the lid. She opened her eyes wide and watched a pair of rings fall out of her hand, and one fell on the table. , and the other rolled to the man's feet.

After being stunned for three seconds, she was about to bend down to pick it up when a big hand picked it up faster than her.

The palm of her hand felt warm for a while, and Mei Ran's heart beat suddenly as she looked at the plain platinum ring with a simple style on it.

The warm breath suddenly rushed over, and the man's deep and melodious voice seemed to reveal the morning light of the clouds, "Ran Ran."

The ending sounded curly, and it sounded very doting. Mei Ran couldn't stand him calling her name in such a low voice, and half of her body went limp.

Seeing her like this, he raised the corners of his lips slightly, shouted again, and at the same time slowly brought his left hand to her.

As if under some kind of bewitchment, Mei Ran carefully picked up the ring with two fingers and slowly put it on his ring finger.

The size is just right.

She looked at his hand repeatedly. The complexion was fair and clear, and the ring on it was like a crescent moon suddenly appearing in the starry sky at night, exuding a soft luster.

"Ran Ran."

"Ok?"

"I am willing."

Confused, Mei Ran stared into his eyes for a long while, and she didn't realize it until there was an undisguised and satisfied smile there.

"Fu, Shi, Jin!"

He wraps around her fist that was blowing softly from embarrassment, and presses it to her chest, and places it where the heart beats. He lowers his head and kisses her cheek, coaxing her softly, "Call me husband."

It is typical to get cheap and sell well.

Mei Ran turned her head away to prevent him from seeing the corners of her lips that she couldn't control but wanted to bend upwards. The man's breath chased after her and hovered around her ears, "It's okay, I have plenty of ways to make you scream."

The distance between the two was so close that they were almost face to face, breathing in harmony.

The sun and the wind from the balcony floated in together, and the light and shadow on the ground swayed slowly, like a silent and beautiful dance.

There was an important meeting in the evening, and Fu Shijin could not be absent. He was afraid that she would be bored alone, and wished he could bring her into the meeting room. Prepare snacks and the like, and the home theater, private study room, and even a high-level confidential antique collection room are fully open, and she can choose to watch movies, read books, or look at antiques.

"I'll end the meeting around 21 o'clock."

Mei Ran was holding half of a medical book and was reading it. This book was banned because of some medical secrets that were considered "deviant" at the time, and it almost suffered a devastating blow. It is now out of print worldwide.

She didn't expect to find half of it in his study. Although there were only about twenty pages, she read it with great interest, so she deserved to be a little careless, "Well, I'll wait for you to come back."

The chin was suddenly pinched gently, Mei Ran raised her eyes, and the man was looking at her deeply, "Okay."

"Ahem," she choked on her own saliva, "Actually, I should take my words literally. Anyway, it's not what you think..."

"What do I think?"

"...you go to the meeting, you're going to be late!"

As expected, he let go of her, "Call me if you need anything."

So easy to talk this time?Could it be...the tranquility before the storm, Mei Ran's starry eyes were slightly annoyed, "Conscientiously start the meeting."

As soon as Fu Shijin left, Fu Lanxin arrived home in a short while. She went back to her room, took a bath to wash off the cold air, dried her hair, then put on a coat and went to find Mei Ran.

"Ran Ran."

"Mom." Anyway, the engagement of the two of them was on the agenda, so Mei Ran naturally changed her words, "Why are you here?"

"Someone called me half an hour ago." Fu Lanxin sat next to her, glanced at the old book on her lap, and felt a little dizzy when she saw the densely packed small characters, "Why don't you turn up the lights? Reading books like this will waste your eyes.”

Mei Ran has actually finished reading it, after all, the content is not too much, she smiled, "I'm used to it."

In the past, when she couldn't sleep at night, she would get up and read a book. Too bright lights in the middle of the night would be very dazzling, so she only turned on a small bedside lamp.

"This habit has to be changed."

These words inexplicably touched a soft broken string in Mei Ran's heart, she leaned over involuntarily, and softly called out, "Mom."

My mom used to tell me that too.

"Stayed up reading again last night? Think about it, this habit is not good, you have to change it."

"Think about it, you don't have to work so hard, mom just wants you to be happy."

For countless nights after her mother passed away, she tossed and turned, still got up to read the book, and fell asleep naturally when she was tired.It's just that no one has ever told her that.

Fu Lanxin put her arms around her shoulders, "Ran Ran, if you want, you can treat me as your mother."

She also had a daughter, but shortly after her husband passed away, this six-month-old baby also died with him. This is the biggest regret in her life.

Fortunately, it is now made up in another way.

"Ran Ran, when I heard it, I would like to say that you can drink a lot, do you want to have a drink together?"

Of course I am happy to do so.

The two walked through long corridors, and finally came to a door.

Fu Lanxin entered the password, and the door slowly opened. She felt a gust of cold air rushing towards her face. Mei Ran tightened her coat and walked in. After walking a dozen steps, she took a look around.It turned out to be an underground wine cellar.

The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of wine, smelling that everyone was slightly drunk, Mei Ran held on to the side shelf, and looked up at the various wines displayed on it, most of them could be named, but the top floor was Several bottles were sealed in delicate long bottles, and there was only a label on the body of the bottle. She couldn't understand any of the words on it except the date.

"Ran Ran, what kind do you like to drink?"

Mei Ran thought for a while, then asked softly, "Is there any liquor here?"

Fu Lan looked at her with determination, and suddenly burst out laughing, "That's great!"

"Ran Ran, why didn't Shi Jin bring you back earlier?!"

She has been in France for many years and tasted the top red wine, but she always felt that something was missing. After several tastings, she realized that the taste of the wine was not right.

Binnan is a famous wine country. Almost every household can make wine, and the wine is the strongest wine. Which Binnan woman who grew up immersed in the wine culture does not carry a wisp of wine on her body?
Fu Lanxin took her to his private wine storage room. At this time, she was not like a lady from a famous family, but more like a child eager to offer treasures to others, "This is old Shaoxing wine, this is Xifeng old wine..."

Mei Ran's eyes were straightened.

Fu Lanxin came over with two jars of wine, and took off the seal. The familiar aroma of wine rushed into her nose, burrowing into her lungs like a seductive one, Mei Ran couldn't help swallowing.

"Let's just drink like this."

Fu Lan proudly held the wine jar and touched hers, raised her head and took a long gulp.

After her inseparable husband passed away, she often hid herself and drank, trying to get drunk, but the more she drank, the more sober she became.

The more sober you are, the stronger the feeling of suffocation and emptiness.

A bosom friend is hard to find, a bosom friend is hard to find.

"Ran Ran, I wish I didn't know you earlier!" Fu Lan thought of something, slapped the table and laughed, "You don't know how bad your mother is at drinking! You faint after drinking a glass of wine, but I don't care if she is not in good health." Dare to let her drink too much... mainly because your father is too protective, every time I go to her, he is worried that I will kidnap his wife to drink..."

The two touched the wine bottle countless times, and Fu Lanxin was still chattering, "When I woke up that morning, I habitually turned around to hug him, but I didn't expect to hug him with a cold body... Sudden myocardial infarction, his hands were still open, I think he must have wanted to hug me at the end... I really hate why I slept so hard at that time!"

She has had a lot of hard work in drinking, and she is the kind who can stand the test. No matter how strong she is on weekdays, she will cry when she is sad, but when she turned her head, Mei Ran had already fallen asleep on the table with a blushing face. .

Fu Lanxin forced back the bitterness in her eyes, stroked her hair, "Ran Ran, Mom wishes you and Shi Jin can grow old together."

Mei Ran let out a dazed "huh".

"Good boy."

After all, it was strong wine, and Fu Lanxin was also a little drunk, and she was still supporting someone, so she walked very slowly, but she still made it. Looking at the lighted room not far away, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Shijin heard footsteps coming out, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

He finished the meeting and learned from Jessica that she was with his mother, so he sat on the sofa and waited, but she came back drunk.

"Mom, why did you let her drink so much?"

Fu Shijin hurriedly took the person over, and when the light came on, he noticed that his mother's eyes were slightly red, and his voice tightened, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Fu Lan waved her hands heartily, "Don't bully her while she's drunk." He added, "I know you've endured it for many years, but you have to be more restrained in everything..."

"mom!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, you guys go to bed early."

"Do you need to order someone to prepare hangover soup for you?"

"Need not."

Fu Shijin watched her figure disappear around the corner, then looked away, and walked in with the person in his arms.

After washing off the smell of alcohol, Mei Ran lay on the bed refreshed, and he sat by the bed, her long black and fragrant hair was covered on his lap.

Most people think that she has a good drinking capacity, but in fact, she is slow to get drunk.

Fu Shijin recalled the first night when he saw her drunk and sent her home. She was also in the same situation. Her body was incredibly soft, but she was quiet and quiet, neither noisy nor noisy.

But the next second...

"it is good."

He lowered his head and asked softly, "What?"

Mei Ran frowned, and said again, "Okay."

"Ran Ran?"

no response.

Fu Shijin held her hand, "Ran Ran."

"Mei Ran." She said suddenly.

"What's your name?"

"Think about it."

Seems like a lot of fun.

Fu Shijin asked, "Who is the best person in this world to you?"

She quickly answered, "Dad."

"Who is your favorite man?"

Mei Ran: "Dad..."

Although he had already guessed the answer, Fu Shijin's heart sank, and he was about to squeeze her face slightly when he heard her add two more words, "With you."

He asked cautiously, "With whom?"

"you."

"who am I?"

"Fu Shijin."

He tried to persuade again, "Who am I to you?"

After waiting for a long time, there was no response. When Fu Shijin thought she had fallen asleep, a soft voice suddenly drifted into his ear...

It was the best sound he had ever heard in the world.

It was so light that it was almost inaudible, but Fu Shijin still listened to those two words.

Just like being in a field full of flowers, the sun is just right, bees and butterflies are flying, sweetness is brewing in the air, and the spring breeze is intoxicating.

He buried his face in her neck, "Well, it's me."

"I love you." A restrained kiss fell on her cheek.

Mei Ran slowly raised the corners of her lips, silently answering him in her heart, "Me too."

He probably didn't know that her mother-in-law had given her hangover soup before sending her back, right?
