Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

"The environment here is quite nice, don't you like it?"

It's not that she doesn't like it. This place is neither close nor far from the capital. It was originally just a temporary place for her and Tang Jiujiu to stay. As a child who grew up in the water town of Jiangnan, she might be more adapted to the customs and people there.

Shen Huaian stopped and looked at her sideways, "Doesn't your best friend like to keep cats? We can connect the yard next door. You see, there are many trees, flowers and plants here, and the cat can roam freely. Then I can help you build a small pond and raise fish. As for the ancient painting restoration room, if you don't mind, I can vacate my ancient painting shop for you to use."

Jiang Ruoli looked back at the courtyard.

Such a yard is indeed suitable for raising cats. There is no need to be restricted. There are trees, flowers and plants. When you are tired, you can take a nap under the shade of the trees. During your leisure time, you can catch goldfish to pass the time.

Which kitten has such a big yard?

Jiang Ruoli was moved by it.

Shen Huaian was very thoughtful and even prepared a studio for him. Although Tang Jiujiu had already helped her contact an office building for rent, it was obviously freer here than in the enclosed space of the building.

It is undeniable that Shen Huaian is indeed very attentive.

Jiang Ruoli wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

She admitted that at first she thought Shen Huaian was just like other men and was only interested in her appearance or body, but as they spent more and more time together, she found that he was somewhat sincere towards her.

But she really couldn't bear this sincerity.

"Don't you like that antique painting shop very much? Why are you willing to give it to me?"

Shen Huaian's brown eyes fell into the warm orange light, and he smiled and said, "We are both running the ancient painting business, so it's the same to me, not to mention it's just a small shop."

Rich and powerful.

It's exactly the same as Huo Xingzhou.

Jiang Ruoli looked at his face and remembered that deep in her memory, there was someone who had said the same thing to her.

He said, it’s just a building, how can it be as important as our happiness? I gave it to you as a betrothal gift to thank you for not letting me become a monk in Putuo Mountain.

This person looks very similar to Huo Xingzhou, but when you look closely, he looks more like Shen Huaian.

So who is he?

"Ali!" Tang Jiujiu came in from outside, holding the kitten. When she looked up and saw Shen Huaian, a wary expression appeared on her face. "Why are you here again? Are you here to eat for free?"

Shen Huaian didn't understand where Tang Jiujiu's hostility towards him came from, so he said helplessly, "I'm here to help someone get the painting."

"Get the painting?"

"Yeah." Shen Huaian raised the painting in his hand and said with a smile, "I just happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll be running errands for A-Li."

Tang Jiujiu didn't make things difficult for him in the end and stepped aside to make way for him.

Before Shen Huaian left, he glanced at Jiang Ruoli and said, "When you have time to think about my proposal, give me a call."

"it is good!"

......

After Shen Huaian left.

Tang Jiujiu looked at Jiang Ruoli with scrutiny, "Tell me quickly, what's your proposal? Is that male demon Shen Huaian trying to seduce you again?"

Jiang Ruoli lacked momentum. "He said he would help us open up the yard so we could raise cats and fish. He also said he would vacate the antique painting shop to use as a studio for me."

"What? He's going to keep you in Hefang Town?" Tang Jiujiu gritted her teeth, "I've always said that Shen Huaian has bad intentions. He has a face exactly like Huo Xingzhou's, but he deceives women everywhere!"

Jiang Ruoli, "...It's not as bad as you think. Shen Huaian just thinks I'm suitable for this job."

"You...you...you actually defended him?" Tang Jiujiu twitched her lip sarcastically, her eyes sliding away from Jiang Ruoli's calm face. She tutted her tongue twice, "It really is true that old saying goes, 'Girls can't be kept when they grow up.' And you still say you're not interested in him..."

Jiang Ruoli reached out to tease the kitten in Tang Jiujiu's arms.

In just a few weeks, he has grown a lot.

She smiled, "Shen Huaian just made some suggestions. Whether I am willing to accept them or not depends on my own wishes. As for what you said about being interested in him...to be honest, I'm not really interested."

"Really not?"

Tang Jiujiu moved closer to her and stared into her dark eyes, as if trying to find any trace of lying in them, but fortunately there was none.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "Ali, I don't object to you falling in love. I just don't know why, but I always feel that Shen Huaian is weird. I'm worried that he will hurt you."

When they first arrived in Hefang Town, Jiang Ruoli had nightmares every day.

Tang Jiujiu knew that she was being stubborn. She said that she didn't care about Huo Xingzhou, but in fact, she couldn't forget him at all.

No wonder.

After a year of gaining favorability, even dogs can develop feelings for each other, let alone humans.

She thought her feelings for him would fade away with time, but who knew that Shen Huaian would suddenly appear. Not only did he look alike, but he also took great care of Jiang Ruoli. Even the twenty-four filial boyfriends were not as attentive as him.

If this continues, she is worried that her best friend will really fall into it.

What if I get struck by lightning while falling in love with another man while having feelings for Huo Xingzhou?

"Thank you for caring about me so much." Jiang Ruoli put his arm around her shoulders and led her inside. "To express my gratitude, how about treating you to a meal later?"

"What to eat?"

"Pizza, steak, pasta, crawfish, barbecue, fried chicken and desserts, whatever you want to eat."

It is said that to capture a person, you must first capture her stomach. Tang Jiujiu's originally angry face was instantly filled with excitement, but she still deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Ruoli, "No, I want to eat Australian lobster today."

Jiang Ruoli gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll call and ask them to fly it over. After all, I'm rich."

After the two best friends left Beijing, they sold most of their jewelry. Since they still had some savings, they couldn't be said to be extremely wealthy, but they still had hundreds of millions of dollars. Not to mention eating Australian lobsters, even wanting the stars in the sky was not a difficult thing.

In this world, money makes the world go round.

As long as you have money, you are the boss!!!

An eternal truth.

The two best friends walked into the living room with a smile.

The topic was also changed amidst the noise and jokes.

Gillian's wife brought green bean soup to relieve the heat.

Summer is approaching.

The north seems to heat up more easily than the south. Fortunately, Hefang Town has a superior geographical location. Except for the stuffiness at noon, it is relatively cool at other times. Jiang Ruoli is afraid of heat, so she asked her sister-in-law Gillian to cook mung bean soup to relieve the heat early.

After finishing a bowl, she got up and went upstairs.

She caught a glimpse of something shiny under the dining chair. She walked over, bent down to pick it up, and discovered it was a necklace.

The brown pupils shrank.

This necklace, isn't it the one she lost before...

Why are you here?
