Chapter 175 I just want to be with you. I am going to save you.
When they walked into the tea room, there was a girl sitting inside. Madam Li introduced them to each other and it turned out that the girl was Li Hanlan's girlfriend: Ye Shuyan.
The girl sat gracefully and elegantly, and only nodded to Lin Pin'er when she was introduced.
Lin Pin'er has always thought that Li Hanlan's girlfriend should be Jia Yuanchun. Since she entered the Jia Mansion, she heard some people say these words, which shows that the words people spread are not true.
Madam Li is wearing a cheongsam designed by Lin Pin'er today. The phoenix-shaped embroidery makes her look elegant.
By the end of December, Madam Li's cheongsam was basically completed. Lin Pin'er personally wrapped it with backing paper of different patterns, put it in a gift box and sent it over.
On New Year's Day, when Li Shuirong's company opened, the old lady wore the Xiangyunsha cheongsam designed for January. It seemed that she was very satisfied with Lin Pin'er's design.
Old Madam Li went out for a while and then came back in. The waiter following her brought in various teas and fruits and set the table.
"Today the three of them still have to go outside to receive some people who come to pay New Year's greetings. Let's just enjoy ourselves. I'm tired of seeing them every day. They've been at home during the New Year, making so much noise that it's giving me a headache. Girls are better, they're quiet and elegant." Madam Li's words made Lin Pin'er feel like spring breeze.
Ye Shuyan was wearing a beige suit with a high-necked silk lining and a huge, sparkling diamond brooch at her neck, which seemed to hold her breath.
She looked much friendlier at the moment, and smiled at Madam Li. When Madam Li went out just now, she straightened her neck and didn't even glance at Lin Pin'er, as if she had a cold temperament that kept people at a distance.
Lin Pin'er now understands that she may have given people the impression of being aloof before. This feeling would create distance between people, and even if someone wanted to get close to her, they would not dare to do so.
Qin Ke'er's attitude was comfortable, her eyes were gentle, and her attitude was soft. Even Wu Qing was attracted to her.
Madam Li introduced the snacks and asked someone to bring a box of dried fruits. Soon Li Shuirong came in.
"What are you talking about?" He stood behind grandma, his hands on the back of her chair, and looked at Lin Pin'er with gentle eyes.
"Pin'er was discussing the Spring Festival Gala with me. We have the same preferences, both of us like folk art shows. She also likes some of the costumes." Old Madam Li lowered her voice and whispered in Li Shuirong's ear, "Pin'er said she got inspiration from watching the Spring Festival Gala and designed several suits for you. She said it was a surprise for you, and she didn't let me tell you, so you pretended not to know."
Li Shuirong was happy to hear that, and he smiled and looked up again. He looked at Lin Pin'er with deep affection. Lin Pin'er only looked at him for two seconds, blushing shyly and lowering her head to take a sip of tea. Ye Shuyan, who was sitting opposite him, saw everything.
This was the look that true lovers gave each other. Li Hanlan had never looked at her like this before.
Li Shuirong chatted with them for a while, then said hesitantly, "I'll take Pin'er upstairs to see my paintings." After saying that, without waiting for Madam Li's consent, he pulled her out of the tea room. Lin Pin'er was pulled away before she had time to say a word to Madam Li.
She was wearing a pink skirt suit from Miumiu today. Li Shuirong pulled her up and took away her handbag from the chair. The two of them walked away as if they were in a hurry to elope.
"I haven't told my grandmother yet. You're making me look very rude."
"I'm at home. I'll be down in a moment."
Li Shuirong held her hand and walked through the spacious living room. At this moment, only the second brother Li Haoze was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar. When he saw Lin Pin'er being pulled out, he put down his crossed legs but did not stop smoking.
"Second brother, Happy New Year!" Lin Pin'er hurriedly wished him a happy new year. She didn't see him when she came in just now.
"Okay, good boy." As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his suit pocket, and without standing up, he shouted to Li Shuirong, "This is a red envelope for my sister-in-law."
Li Shuirong was not polite and walked over to take the red envelope. He was ready to continue pulling Lin Pin'er upstairs.
"You don't even know how to say thank you?" Li Haoze's voice was still nonchalant.
"Thank you, second brother." The two said in unison, and then their figures disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Li Haoze sneered: "It's broad daylight, why are you so anxious..."
When they arrived at Li Shuirong's room, Lin Pin'er asked coquettishly, "Why are you in such a hurry to pull me up?"
Li Shuirong didn't close the door either, he just hugged Lin Pin'er into his arms: "I miss you so much!"
Lin Pin'er was hugged so tightly by him that she felt a little breathless. He hugged her from top to bottom, as if he put all the weight of his body on her shoulders.
After a long time, Lin Pin'er patted him gently on the back.
"It's only been three days since we last met..."
"Almost four days. 92 hours." Li Shuirong murmured to himself, his tone extremely fragile at this moment.
Lin Pin'er heard the difference in his tone and had to coax him: "I missed you too. I thought you would come to play with me yesterday. Even Baoyu asked about you."
"I don't care about others! Sometimes I really don't want to work, and I don't want to be hypocritical and chat and laugh with these people. I just want to be with you."
"Yeah, I know. Thank you for your hard work!" Pin'er continued to coax.
Li Shuirong then let her go, took her to the back of the desk, and sat her on his lap. He then opened the second drawer on the side of the desk and took out a box.
"I've saved something good for you!" He said, and opened the box impatiently.
The box contained a pink pendant in the shape of a sunflower, with a silver chain lying next to it, and a ring-like ring at the bottom corner of the box.
Shui Rong picked up the sunflower pendant, then picked up the ring and put them together. Pin'er thought it was a necklace pendant, but she didn't expect it could be assembled into a ring.
After Shui Rong buckled it, she spread out Pin'er's fingers, put the ring on her middle finger, and then adjusted the size of the ring.
"It's so beautiful." Shui Rong said in her ear, and his breath made Pin'er's ears itchy.
Lin Pin'er dodged quickly, looked at the ring on her hand and said, "It's really beautiful."
"Like it?"
"Yeah, I like it. It must be very expensive!" Lin Pin'er admired it and was about to take it off.
"Why take it off?"
"I don't wear these jewelry." Pin'er refused.
"I asked my grandmother for it as an early birthday present for you."
"My birthday will still take more than a month..."
"Then consider it a New Year's gift."
"My grandmother just gave me a red envelope..."
"Then keep it as a dowry." Pin'er didn't know whether he was talking about the red envelope or the ring.
"You said you wanted to show me the painting. Where is the painting?" Lin Pin'er stretched out her little hand to him again, as if she wanted to catch the painting with her hand.
"I was just saying that. You must be bored sitting there with them, right? I'm here to rescue you."
"It's not boring at all. We had a very happy chat."
Li Shuirong thought for a moment and said, "My grandmother is fine, but you should stay away from that woman."
Pin'er was puzzled: "Why do you say that about your future sister-in-law?"
Li Shuirong lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear and said, "She can't be my sister-in-law. My eldest brother hates her."
Lin Pin'er also imitated him and lowered her voice: "Why? Grandmother said she was eldest brother's girlfriend, isn't that the kind of relationship where they will get married in the future?" In Lin Pin'er's opinion, a girlfriend is someone who will get married in the future, just like her and Li Shuirong.
It was so adorable to see her imitating his lowering of voice, as if she was ready to discuss some secret with him.
Li Shuirong became serious, looked into her eyes and asked, "Have you ever seen a boyfriend who doesn't want to look at his girlfriend? My eldest brother is like this, and I didn't understand it at first. Guess why."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Pin'er asked tentatively: "Is it because she is not pretty enough and your eldest brother doesn't like her looks?"
"I thought so at first, but then my eldest brother said: It's not because she's not pretty. There are many ordinary-looking people in this world."
"Why is that?" Lin Pin'er studied the mechanism on the back of the ring, wanting to know how it fastened the ring, and asked absentmindedly.
"My eldest brother said that he had seen her do bad things with a hideous look on her face in the future, so he didn't want to see her."
When Lin Pin'er heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
