desire to be loved

It has been said that if you desire a man, you must let him be free.

New York, USA

New York is one of the advanced and bustling cities in the world. Even at one o'clock in the morning, it still exudes a charm. Compared with the busy traffic during the day, and the appearance of people rushing to catch the subway to compete with time, New York at night, although the street businesses have rested, are shining. The neon lights shining in the sky are like a kaleidoscope, attracting people who return home late into another colorful world.

Day and night only alternate, but it does not change the enthusiasm of New York.

Roy was condescending through the glass, staring expressionlessly at the end of the distance. The light outside the glass turned into darkness the moment his eyes closed. He isolated himself from the outside world in this space of less than two square meters.

At this time, the elevator reached the 21st floor and dinged. Roy turned around and stepped out of the elevator, walked to the aisle on the right, and disappeared behind the door at the end.

After returning to his residence after a busy day, he did not take a rest. Instead, he sat in front of the computer and called up Wesley's design project to start the final inspection. After an hour passed, he moved the pointer of the mouse to the little puppet at the bottom right of the computer window , hesitated for a while or clicked in.

There are only three people on the MSN friend list, one is a boss, one is a colleague, and the rest is a younger sister who seldom goes online, staring blankly at the screen for several minutes until the clock on the wall strikes three o’clock , he left his seat to wash up.

After submitting the design drawings today, Roy will take a one-month vacation, which is an order from his boss.

He belongs to the designer of Amber Architects. He has been in the industry for three years. Although he is a newcomer, he has helped the company close many cases in the past two years and earned tens of millions of dollars. The person who discovered him is this office. General Manager of the company: Gilles Valentino.

During a business dinner, Jill was negotiating the contract with the construction company in detail. Suddenly, a dispute at the next table caught his attention. A Chinese man and a middle-aged man were pointing at the design drawing on the table. Then the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "This does not meet my original requirements, and the cost has also increased by 30.00%."

The Chinese man responded: "With a site of 300 square meters, it is really difficult to complete the project within [-] million yuan. Besides, Mr. Fang, you asked to build a pool in the middle of the mall, which will definitely block the flow of customers. In terms of Fengshui, this Not only will it not help you get rich, but it will make you lose money.”

Fang Dong said angrily: "You young man, do you know what Feng Shui is? I think you just want to blackmail me!"

"If you still can't accept my design, you're better off." Roy said expressionlessly.

The person called Fang Dong suddenly stood up and swept the documents on the ground.

"What kind of indiscriminate design is this? I thought it was a great designer, but that's all. Go back and tell your boss that I, Cook, will not cooperate with him."

Boss Fang, who said harsh words, was waiting for Roy to accommodate him, but Roy waved his hand and made the word "please", which angered Boss Fang.

He slapped the table with his palm, pointed at Roy, gritted his teeth, and said, "You... you can wait for the roll floor to go home tomorrow!" After speaking, he left angrily.

Roy was not moved by Mr. Fang's words.

He doesn't have much nostalgia for the company he is currently working for. Apart from often arguing and haggling with customers for the price, the boss of the company will also eat his tofu.

In fact, he wanted to leave a long time ago, but he was not familiar with the place where he was born in the United States. It is really not easy to find a stable job that can support himself.

The money he brought with him when he came to the United States alone a year ago is now running out, and his parents have all given him financial support, but he wants to make a fortune on his own, so he returned all of it to his parents.

Recalling Mr. Fang's last words, it seems that even if the boss does not lay off him tomorrow, he will take the initiative to hand in his resignation.

But after resigning, what should the next road be?

Could it be that he starved to death in a foreign land before he found his next job?

Just when Roy was worried about the future, a blond man walked up to him and handed him a piece of paper, which was the design drawing that Mr. Fang had just swept to the ground.

Roy thanked the other party and was called when he was about to get up and leave.

"Do you want to come to work in my company?"

Roy carefully looked at the blond man in front of him. The man was wearing a valuable silver-gray suit, covering his wheat-colored skin. He was 1.9 meters tall with a handsome face like an ancient Roman sculpture, as if he would fascinate all beings with a smile.

Because he didn't know the details of the other party, Roy decided to decline, but the other party handed over a business card at this time.

Jill Valentino, managing director of Amber Architects

There was a flash of surprise in Roy's eyes. He mentioned that Amber is almost unknown to everyone. It is a leader in the American architectural field and has a history of 60 years. Many well-known buildings are designed by Amber. Although the company is huge However, there are no more than 30 employees, which also means that the people who can work in Amber are all the best of the best.

And Amber's general manager is now asking him in front of him if he wants to work in Amber. Isn't this a gift from the world to him, but he knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Mr. Valentino, why did you invite me to work in your company?"

As if she knew that Roy would ask this question, Jill pointed to the design drawing that was just returned to Roy on the table and said, "This is the reason, and I can see your potential from here."

Jill's invitation was attractive, but Roy didn't think he was qualified.

Looking at Roy who had been slow to answer, Jill directly made the decision for him.

"Find me in my office in two days!"

Seeing that the man at the next table was still waiting for Jill to go back, Roy nodded.

In this way, Roy entered Amber Architects, and Jill assigned him a new project within a week of work, which was a renovation design project for an old department store.

Located in the East Side of New York, Alexis Department Store has been in business for 20 years. With its old appearance and increasing losses year by year, the owner of Alexis spared no effort to bring it back to life.

For the first task, Roy tried his best to perform. In less than four months, Alexis Department Store took on a new look under his design. He also handed in a beautiful report card, proving that Jill has a first-class vision in selecting talents.

Today, three years later, Jill is not only Roy's boss but also the first friend he met in the United States. In Jill's eyes, Roy is an indispensable talent, but Jill can't turn a blind eye to his almost suicidal working method. After entering the office at nine o'clock in the morning, one does not leave the company until ten o'clock, and one year's vacation does not exceed ten days.

Jill knew that he chose to use work to escape his feelings, but he had to take care of his health no matter how dedicated he was, so Jill forced him to take a month off.

But Jill missed one thing: Roy will still use it at night as day before the case at hand is completed.

At four o'clock in the morning in the dead of night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, Roy was still concentrating on the computer. At this time, the computer received a message and made a sound: yougotmail!

Roy clicked into the mailbox to check.

The sender is Luo Tingting and the title is Red Bomb.

What is this little girl doing again?

Second brother, I'm getting married. The groom is of course Qingfeng. As the bride's brother and the groom's best friend, no matter how busy you are at work, you must come back to my wedding this time. The wedding is scheduled for May [-]rd. It will be held at the hotel, and if I don't see you by then, I will tell him the secret.

The wedding is scheduled for May [-]rd, so there are only five days left!She really knows how to choose the time.

After six years of love running with his younger sister, Qingfeng finally agreed to get married. Upon hearing the good news, Roy felt happy for his younger sister to be happy.

But this letter also hides another thing. He knows Luo Tingting's trick, because the person she gets married will definitely attend, and he left Taiwan to the United States to escape from that person.

Now, four years have passed in the blink of an eye. Roy thinks that time can dilute his love for that person, but it can't change their relationship for a long time. people.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Romance is an indispensable element in every woman's dream wedding. Of course, Luo Tingting also has a girlish dream. The reason why she chooses Caijing Hotel is because it has a private beach and a white church facing the sea. .

The church is mainly decorated in white, and the entrance is woven into a heart-shaped arch with purple roses. The guest seats can accommodate [-] people, and the scale is small but very grand.

Some people say that getting married is like stepping into the grave, but for Ye Qingfeng, he is as happy as being in heaven now, everything is perfect, the only fly in the ointment is the absent-minded bride in front of him.

The golden brilliance fell on a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, and the pastor who was over [-] stood on the platform and recited the wedding vows: "Ye Qingfeng, you are willing to support me all the way in life, old age, sickness and death. Will you always love Luo Tingting?"

The scene was quiet, and the guests all held their blessings to witness the union of the lovers.

Ye Qingfeng took Luo Tingting's hand, looked at her affectionately, and replied without hesitation: "I am willing." While smiling, he strengthened the strength of his hand, reminding Luo Tingting to recover.

"Luo Tingting, are you willing to support Ye Qingfeng, who is always in love, all the way no matter whether you are born, young, sick or dead?"

Everyone was looking forward to hearing the bride's answer that I was willing, but the bride suddenly yelled towards the door.

"Xiao Yi!"

Everyone's focus instantly shifted from the eyes of the bride to the latecomer at the door.

The picture seemed to freeze, and the protagonist suddenly became him.

Inside the quiet church came whispers: "Couldn't he be here to make trouble!"

"It's possible! You didn't see the bride's overjoyed look."

Hearing those conversations, Roy wished he could find a hole in the ground right away.

Because the flight was delayed, he couldn't attend the wedding on time. Just when he planned to sit quietly in the back seat and report to his sister after the ceremony, she shouted that he was coming by himself.

Sure enough, he immediately felt a hot gaze staring at him.

Xiulan ran to Roy's side and tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Xiaoyi! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Tingting didn't tell me that you would come to participate."

"Mom, let's wait until the ceremony is over. Your son-in-law is still waiting for your daughter to say I am willing." Roy reminded softly.

Xiulan remembered that the wedding was still in progress, so she quickly helped Roy put on the corsage representing relatives, and notified her husband with her eyes to deal with this episode.

After receiving the message from his wife, Luo Ruirong stood up and said, "I'm sorry, he is my youngest son, and he is not going to marry you. Please turn your attention back to the newcomer, please? The groom is in a hurry."

The guests laughed in an uproar, and then turned their attention back to the new couple.

At this time, the pastor said it again: "Luo Tingting, are you willing to support Qingfeng all the way and love Qingfeng forever no matter in life, old age, sickness or death?"

Luo Tingting nodded with a blushing face, and immediately replied: "I am willing."

"Now, the bride and groom are invited to exchange rings."

"Groom, you can kiss the bride."

After the ceremony, Luo Tingting threw herself at Roy and hugged him regardless of the heavy wedding dress she was wearing, saying, "Second brother, you are finally back!"

Roy smiled and ruffled her hair.

"I will definitely attend my lovely sister's wedding, but the way you greet me is really special!"

He still couldn't help pinching her face, but the smile on his face froze when he saw the figure behind him.

"Dad, Mom." Standing in front of his parents, Roy promised like a child who did something wrong.

Luo Ruirong, who wanted to reprimand his son, saw that there was a wedding at home today, so he sighed and said, "It's good to be back."

"You're doing well, brother, you've taken the limelight." Qingfeng patted his buddy on the shoulder, telling him not to be nervous.

"When did you return home?"

"I just came back this morning. As soon as I arrived at the airport, I came here directly and left my luggage in the hotel room."

Having not seen her youngest son for four years, Xiulan touched his face and said distressedly: "My precious son has lost a lot of weight, and my mother is taking care of you when I get home."

Luo Tingting interrupted suddenly: "Mom, have you forgotten? After I marry Qingfeng, I will live at home, so there is no room for Xiaoyi to sleep in at home!"

After her daughter reminded her, Xiulan remembered it.

"Yeah, why did I forget!"

She has opened up her sons' room as Tingting and Qingfeng's wedding room, and Tingting's original room has also been changed into the child's room in the future.

Seeing his mother-in-law looking troubled, Ye Qingfeng immediately proposed a solution.

"Mom, I think Roy should go live at the eldest brother's house during this period of time!"

Roy saw his younger sister and Qingfeng flirting, seemed to be plotting something?

He responded immediately: "Mom, I'm not a child anymore, I will find a place to live by myself, so don't worry about it."

In fact, he is not sure whether he will stay in Taiwan for such a long time, maybe he will return to the United States in a few days, so it is better not to let his parents have too much expectation.

At this time, Luo Jie, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.

"Mom, Roy can live with me first!"

With the elder son's promise, Xiulan said happily: "Xiao Yi, since your brother has said so, you can live in his house! It will be more convenient for me to find you."

Roy looked at the ground silently, and responded softly: "Yes."

When their conversation reached a certain point, Luo Ruirong said: "You husband and wife should hurry up and prepare for the banquet tonight."

Hearing his father's words, the husband and wife remembered that they were the protagonists of the day, and walked towards the venue hand in hand.

"Let's go! We, the masters, can't be late." Xiulan held a son in each arm, accompanied by two handsome men, enviing many passers-by.

The wedding banquet started at six o'clock, and brisk and flying classical music was played in the venue. Accompanied by Luo Ruirong, the bride entered the venue, and after handing over his daughter's hand to the groom, he also shed rare male tears.

What followed was a wonderful food show, dancers in gorgeous clothes performed on the stage, and the chefs under the stage showed the exquisite meals to the guests in sequence.

Immediately after the opening show, dozens of waiters shuttled among the tables with delicately embossed porcelain plates in their hands, serving dishes one by one to the guests.

As the eldest brother, Luo Jie first raised his glass to toast the new couple.

"Qingfeng, you have to treat my sister well. If you let me know that you make her sad, I won't let you go."

Since she was a child, Luo Tingting was cared for like a little princess at home. After Luo's mother had two sons in a row, it took four years to have a daughter, so the whole family loved her very much.

Ye Qingfeng responded sincerely: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely treat her well and not let her suffer any grievances." He raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Then he added: "But when does eldest brother plan to get married?"

"If you don't have a partner, how can you just settle it." Luo Jie said helplessly.

Qingfeng didn't know what was wrong, so he proposed this way: "How many good bridesmaids are there today, do you want to introduce them to you later?"

"Ah~" As soon as he finished speaking, his foot was kicked suddenly, and he turned around to find that Tingting was staring at him fiercely.

Xiulan shook her head when she saw this, she said with a straight face: "Be careful! The bride! You are married, and you don't know how to restrain yourself." Fortunately, her relatives are in Canada. If she saw this scene, she would definitely feel ashamed .

Luo Tingting was like changing her face in a Sichuan opera, and she immediately returned to the shy look of a bride, making everyone laugh.

I haven't seen my family for four years, but Roy, who should have a lot to talk about, is silent and listens to their chatting and laughing quietly. The food on the plate is messed up by the fork, and he is only serving the third course. , but he has no appetite.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have drunk too much wine, I feel a little uncomfortable, go out and get some air." Roy said to the people present, then got up and left.

"Second brother, is everything okay? I haven't seen him drink much." Tingting said worriedly.

"Maybe I just got off the plane and I'm not used to it. I'll go and have a look." Luo Jie also left his seat.

The main table left two people at once, and the atmosphere suddenly became deserted. Fortunately, the guests at other tables came to toast, and asked the couple to use their shoes to drink the toast, and then asked the bride to take eggs from the groom’s pants, and the atmosphere was immediately overwhelmed. Heat it up.

After walking to the balcony, Roy was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. After the whole day, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't calm down.

Although he swore that his love for Luo Jie had faded away, but when he saw Luo Jie, his heart became restless again.

The gentle wind blows, it is salty, it is the taste of the sea.

From the balcony, one can see a vast and boundless sea. In the distant sea, one can faintly see the lights of ships lighting up. Hearing the sound of the waves, Roy's inner throbbing has calmed down a little.

Just stay here until the party is over!

Just when he thought this way, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, he glanced back, and Luo Jie's tall and straight body came into his eyes, and his heartstrings tensed instantly.

After the two looked at each other for five seconds, Roy chose to ignore him and looked back at the sea.

Even with his back to Luo Jie, Luo Jie's every move can touch his nerves, his heart beat so fast, as if he was going to jump out, until there was a figure around him, and he had to face it.

Trying to defuse the awkward atmosphere, Roy spoke first: "When I find a place to live, I will move out immediately."

"Just stay here!" Luo Jie reached into his suit pocket and took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a stream of white smoke from his mouth.

Roy thought he had heard wrong, and there was puzzlement in his eyes.

"In the past few years, I have thought a lot. Women can be changed, but there is only one brother, so don't take what I said back then."

Luo Jie knew that his younger brother left Taiwan because of his words: "I don't want to see you again."

But he didn't think that Roy's departure would last for four years. During this period, he was scolded by his parents several times. He also repeatedly made choices between love and family affection. As time went by, he has already let go of all that.

Roy's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that all his inner suffering in the past four years had turned into a dream under Luo Jie's words, and after a long circle, the two of them returned to the original point.

Suppressing the sense of loss in his heart, he should be happy because Luo Jie forgave him.

"Go back to your seat! Don't worry everyone, I will wait for you in the lobby at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Luo Jie took the last puff of cigarette and returned to the venue first.

After Luo Jie left, he looked at the vast ocean in front of him, the pure white moon reflected on the surface of the sea, shining brightly,

When he stayed in the United States, he often thought of the moon in his hometown, but now when he returns to his hometown, he finds that the moon in his hometown is so beautiful that it makes people want to cry.

"sorry."

An apology owed to Luo Jie, but Roy couldn't say it in front of him, and there was still a touch of bitterness in the residual wind.
