In a word, a marriage 4(2/2)
Two people had half a glass of red wine, one was sitting on the tatami and the other was sitting on a chair, drinking slowly and occasionally chatting.
The person who spoke at the beginning was Ye Qingcheng. They had solved the spy matter and the body was handed over to the Ministry of National Defense for disposal. However, it was unknown whether there was a bigger conspiracy behind it and the investigation had to continue.
Long Lifei had no objection to her going to investigate, but he had to wait until Yan'er returned to Jincheng.
After that, they talked about some innocuous topics. Ye Qingcheng said that when he listened, his answers were usually very short, but he was very patient and showed no trace of impatience.
The lights were dim, the starry sky was vast, the aroma of wine was in the air, and the faint smell of aftershave on his body made the atmosphere inexplicably harmonious and very comfortable.
For a moment, Ye Qingcheng even had the illusion that they were a very ordinary, ordinary, and warm couple.
"A Qing——" Long Lifei suddenly spoke, his dark eyes watching her quietly.
Ye Qingcheng raised her eyes to look at him, and gently uttered a sentence with her thin and beautiful lips: "How long are you going to stay in this marriage?"
The moment of warmth disappeared in an instant, as if it was just her own fantasy.
Long Lifei's tone was low and serious: "I am already thirty years old, you are still young, and you still have a long, long way to go." There is no reason for him, an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life, to waste himself in this cold marriage.
of youth.
With a smile on her thin lips and blurry eyes, she walked in the dim light, "What? Sister Ziqi gave birth to Long Jin, and you started to burn bridges across the river?"
A trace of helplessness flashed in Long Lifei's eyes, "You know that's not what I meant."
Ye Qingcheng drank the wine in his hand and smiled a little slyly: "You said it at the beginning, the sovereignty over the divorce is in my hands, as long as I am willing..."
"I said so." Long Lifei nodded and admitted, looking at her with an inquiring gaze, "But I don't understand."
At first he thought she and Xi Feng were a couple, but apparently he guessed wrong. Xi Feng liked A Qing, but A Qing was not in love with Xi Feng.
Otherwise, she would not insist on going her own way and want to marry him.
Perhaps it was due to drinking, her cheeks were slightly red, her smile was charming, a bit charming, with red lips and white teeth, she opened and closed lightly: "This is my business, I don't need you to understand!"
He returned the wine glass to him and yawned: "I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed first. Good night."
Before she finished speaking, she had already closed her eyes, her thick and curled eyelashes covering her eyes quietly, a halo of light lingering on her facial features, the picture was soft, like soft satin.
Long Lifei looked at her for a long time, drank the wine in his glass, stood up and put down the glass, turned off the crystal lamp in the room, leaving only an orange table lamp at the front.
Ye Qingcheng had a dream in which she went back two years.
Two years ago, Long Ziqi was already 28 years old, but she was still not pregnant. This made Long Ziqi anxious. The elders of the Jin family and Gu Mingxi didn't want Yan'er to become an advanced mother. At first, she persuaded Yan'er herself, but to no avail.
He asked A Li to persuade him.
Jin Cunxu followed Long Ziqi too much and followed her in everything. He would not have a child unless Yan'er nodded and said yes, completely ignoring Fu Xiange and Jin Xishuo's desire to have a grandson.
Others didn't know it, but Long Lifei knew very well that Yan'er was competing with him. Since he never got married, she never got pregnant.
In two years, Yan'er will be thirty years old. Experts he has consulted in this field all recommend that women do it before the age of 30. Otherwise, even if they are in good health and can conceive, their bodies will not be as good as before after childbirth.
After thinking about it, Yan'er's body was already weak. They had taken good care of her over the years, with occasional minor illnesses but no serious illnesses. If it really dragged on until her years passed and she became an advanced maternal age, what if something unexpected happened...
The spring was cold and cold, and the sunlight shone gently on the indoor floor through the window. She lay on Long Lifei's desk, supported her chin with her hands, and asked with a smile: "I heard that you want to find a woman to get married?
"
Long Lifei paused with his signing hand, glanced at her, pursed his thin lips tightly, lowered his head and continued to read the document.
He was not annoyed at being ignored, but instead asked him directly without shame: "What do you think of me?"
Long Lifei's eyes always fell on the document, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Until she got impatient and directly drew the document in front of him, "Anyway, it's not about marrying anyone. You marry me, okay?"
The sunlight was scattered in her eyes, and the light in her eyes was jumping and twinkling.
Long Lifei finally laid his eyes on her young and energetic face, and said in a low voice: "Not good!"
"Why?" She frowned and pouted.
He didn't know how she knew that he wanted to find a woman to marry, but the woman he wanted to marry couldn't be Qingcheng.
Long Lifei: "I will not marry my own sister!"
Ye Qingcheng: "I am the child of Lin Qi and Ye Jia!"
Long Lifei: "I am eight years older than you!"
Ye Qingcheng: "Isn't it the most popular nowadays for handsome uncles to be paired with lolita? Uncles have three good qualities: mature, handsome, and experienced. Lolita have three good qualities: cute, cute, and easy to push over. You see, we are a perfect match!"
Long Lifei: "..."
After a long silence, he stared at her and asked, "Did you and Xi Feng quarrel?"
She was startled for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Why should I quarrel with Xi Feng?"
A trace of doubt flashed across his eyebrows, "You don't know that Xi Feng—"
"Xifeng and I are good brothers and we won't quarrel!" She interrupted him lightly, stretched out her finger in front of him and tapped: "Do you want to marry me or not?"
Long Lifei understood that maybe Xi Feng had been unrequitedly in love with A Qing for a long time, and A Qing had probably always known...
But he still said: "No."
She looked at him without blinking, and asked in a voice as soft as catkins: "Do you still remember that you promised me to do something for me when you asked me to protect Lan Mufei?"
Long Lifei's dark pupils suddenly tightened, and finally there was a fluctuation. He looked at her and remained silent for a long time.

The next day, Long Lifei did not go to the Presidential Palace. In the morning, it was rare for the family to gather together for breakfast, which was calm and warm.
After dinner, Long Ziqi was worried about Long Jin, so she went to the room to hug him; Long Lifei and Jin Cunxu were playing chess, Long Pei accompanied Gu Mingxi to do flowers and grass, and Ye Qingcheng was left alone and didn't know what to do.
Long Lifei's eyes fell on the chessboard, his moves were clean and neat, and his voice suddenly sounded: "Sit next to me."
Ye Qingcheng was startled and his eyes flickered. Did he want to sit next to him and watch them play chess? She had no interest in playing chess at all!
"No, I'm going to see Long Jin!" After saying that, he immediately slipped away.
Long Lifei raised his head and looked at her fleeing back, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After all, it was because of his undecided youth that he couldn't sit still even if he asked her to sit down and watch chess.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Jin Cunxu was looking at him, looking thoughtful, and raised his eyebrows: "Afraid of losing?"
Jin Cunxu showed a modest smile: "Qiqi accidentally saw you going to the wine cellar last night to get wine. I think you got it for Qingcheng."
He heard Qiqi say that Long Lifei didn't drink or smoke much.
Long Lifei dropped the chess piece on the chessboard with a snap and ate his piece, which was a disguised answer.
Jin Cunxu was not nervous and was not afraid of losing to him. He smiled and said, "Qingcheng is a very good girl. I am inexplicably infected with happiness when I am around her."
"It's best not to let Yan'er hear this." Long Lifei opened his thin lips slightly, but his voice was a bit gloomy.
"What's wrong with hearing it?" Jin Cunxu now has a beloved wife and a son. He has completely overcome the misery of the past. It has even been two or three years since he lost control and accidentally hurt himself.
His relationship with Long Ziqi has gone through turbulent times, and they have never given up or let go of each other's hands.
He was afraid that Qiqi would be jealous of his mere words. What's more, Qiqi knew him so well and knew herself better than he did. How could she not know the meaning of her words?
"You're taking too much care." Long Lifei said calmly, not harshly or sullenly.
