Engage

"What's the matter? Can't you persuade me?"

When the tea was finished, Jiang Ran still didn't persuade Jiang Chan. She went to find Qi Lian who was reading documents under the shed in the courtyard. Seeing her listless, Qi Lian knew that this time might not go well, so she asked casually. One sentence.

Jiang Ran sat down beside her, looked at the green vines on the shelf and smiled wryly: "Yeah, he doesn't want to go."

Qi Lian turned off the optical brain, handed her a glass of water, and said in relief: "After all, it's not a simple change of place to live, but to live in another country, and the system of this country is different from our own country, Dad It’s normal to be unwilling.”

It's not that Jiang Ran doesn't understand this, but she has considered it before, and she still wants to take Dad Jiang with her.Qi Lian also knew what she was thinking, so he said to her, "Why don't I try it?"

Jiang Ran did have such thoughts, but

"Farewell now. I think that although Dad refused quickly, he might still be thinking about it in his heart. He showed a hesitant expression a few times." Jiang Ran took a sip of water and said thoughtfully: " Let him think about it for two more days."

Qi Lian pondered for a moment, then took her hand: "Yes."

In midsummer, the sun is scorching hot, and the neat land in the courtyard is laid like gold. The weather is very hot, but the grape trellis blocks the hot light well, and circles a small piece of cool world.

The two of them are here to enjoy the shade, although they are not very close, except for the glass of water at the beginning, there is no physical contact, but the intimacy between the two can be seen at a glance.Upstairs, Jiang Chan stood by the window and looked at the two "little girls" below. unblocked.

Qi Lian took out the documents to read again, and looked at the tidy courtyard from time to time, the more he looked, the more silent he became.

It must be because you like this place very much, so you manage it so hard, right?Maybe other people would think that this house hired a gardener, but from Qi Lian's observation, there was no one.

One early morning, she saw Jiang Chan trimming the flower garden below with scissors, and he also saw him fixing a few bunches of small grapes with ropes, and she even saw Jiang Chan cleaning the dust in the yard by himself.

During the few days of getting along, Qi Lian also saw that Jiang Chan basically didn't use the Internet. He liked to drink tea. When drinking tea, he would sit in front of the TV wall in the living room and watch TV. The rest of the time, as long as he was not working, he would use How could you be willing to leave so easily after spending so much effort on repairing the courtyard and taking care of the room?

But this also shows that Dad Jiang is a very self-disciplined man.Qi Lian didn't deliberately send someone to investigate him, but after only a few days together, she could see that Jiang Chan's life was actually very monotonous - if every day in the past was the same as this time.

Monotonous, but not necessarily boring.The mine run by Jiang Chan is not small, and it takes a lot of Jiang Chan's energy to deal with the affairs there every day. There is a stone table in his courtyard—this is what Qi Lian and the others are facing now. Zhang — A chessboard was simply carved on the stone table. The lines of the chessboard have long since been worn very smooth, and it is obviously used frequently, so Dad Jiang should know how to play chess, and he likes it very much.

Knowing how to play chess, of course, there will be regular chess friends. Apart from this kind of friends, judging from the visitors who come here from time to time, he is very popular here. After Qi Lian came here alone, her subordinates stopped her People who came to visit him with specialties.

With roots and contacts, it is already very difficult for Dad Jiang to give up everything here and go with them.But these are not the most important, the most important thing is that, it is a foreign country.

Exotic.

Qi Lian actually understands Father Jiang's feelings, but for the sake of Ran Ran, she also wants to fight for it.

Sunset and moon rise, even at night, it is still hot, this is probably the hottest time of the year, after this time, the temperature will drop slowly, the flowers will slowly wither, and the leaves will fade Turn yellow to red, and that's another season.

Qi Lian couldn't fall asleep, or rather, she deliberately didn't fall asleep, but after Jiang Ran fell asleep, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

In the courtyard, there was a small lamp like a bright moon, which was shining quietly and faintly. Moths fluttered on the lamp, unable to extinguish the light. Qi Lian opened the door and walked out, followed by the one sitting in the courtyard. The man who was enjoying the cool air said hello.

Seeing her appear, Jiang Chan was actually a little surprised, but he didn't show it. He just asked her to sit down.After seeing her sitting down, she glanced at the light at her feet, and Jiang Chan laughed: "This is a mosquito coil. It has long been eliminated in Capital Star, but here, many people still use it. Like Like gasoline-burning vehicles running wild on the street, they exist and persist."

Mosquito coil?

Qi Lian smelled a strange fragrance, which probably came from this thing called "mosquito coil".Jiang Chan explained to her at this time: "There are a lot of mosquitoes in this weather, especially near trees and bushes. If you want to enjoy the cool here, if you don't have mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes, you will be bitten out of your body."

In fact, having this mosquito coil is not completely safe. For example, Qi Lian was bitten within 2 minutes after sitting down.After that, she used her mental strength, and no mosquitoes could approach her anymore.

Jiang Chan was taken aback by her operation, and then sighed softly.

People with double s ranks are different, so extravagant.

"Sir, would you like some wine?"

He said he was enjoying the cool air, but in fact, Jiang Chan still had a jug of wine in his hand. It seemed that he was not a complete health-preserving school, at least, he was used to drinking at night.Qi Lian also found out that he always sits in the courtyard every night, and he only came here tonight.

The stars gathered into a picture in the sky, and from this small courtyard, most of the star map can be seen unexpectedly, Qi Lian bowed to accept the wine handed over by Jiang Chan, and said thank you with a smile.

Jiang Chan rubbed his big palm on his knee, watched her compare, then took a sip, then frowned without any trace, Jiang Chan laughed heartily: "Is it hot?"

Qi Lian pursed his lips, waited for the hot feeling in his throat to subside, then nodded, and said gently: "What a strong wine."

"It's been a few years. Counting it, it was given to me when Ran Ran and I first arrived here, and it has been kept in the cellar. No, she came back. When I remembered it, I took some out to drink."

Said, Jiang Chan's wine glass was empty, Qi Lian naturally went over, took the wine pot and poured wine for him, Jiang Chan looked at it, and the satisfaction in his eyes was even higher.

He was worried that if his daughter married a rich and rigid nobleman, she would be restrained by the royal rules, or hurt by Qi Lian's own dignity and seriousness, but now it seems that those favorite soap operas at eight o'clock The description of the royal family is not particularly accurate, at least the Crown Prince of the empire does not always hold a high shelf, nor does he show any impatience or contempt.

On the contrary, she appears to be more humble and polite than most young people nowadays.

After meeting for two or three days, Qi Lian was observing her "father-in-law" or "father-in-law", but why didn't Jiang Chan observe Qi Lian?

When his daughter came back, Jiang Chan gave all of his happiness and concern to his daughter, and when it came to Qi Lian, of course he also had the pickiness of an old father who married his daughter.

The main concern is that Qi Lian and Ran Ran are not compatible, let’s not talk about their status, even if we only talk about their respective educations and backgrounds, these two young people are not the same, Qi Lian She is the Fifth Highness of the Empire who has received thousands of honors, and is the Crown Prince of the Empire, while Ran Ran is a little girl from the Federation who was educated and raised by the Federation. Their values ​​are not similar, and their living habits are also very different. Can we really be together just by love?

What worries Jiang Chan the most is that he is afraid that this kind of love is only one-way, only his silly daughter Qi Lian, and Qi Lian is only with her for the genetic compatibility.

This is scary. Jiang Chan himself is extremely emotional. He believes in love. Although his lover has only been with him for a year, his love has lasted for more than [-] years and will last as long as he is still awake. go down.But he doesn't want his daughter to be trapped in a hopeless relationship like him. He even prefers that his daughter chose to be Qi Lian's princess just out of the vanity of a young girl.

In this way, you will suffer less injuries.

However, what worries him is that every time he sees Ran Ran mentioning Qi Lian, he feels an unconcealable joy. He is very familiar with this kind of happiness, which was often revealed by Ran Ran's mother back then.He knew that his daughter fell in love with her, so what about Qi Lian?How does this big man who stomps his feet and makes the stars tremble, think of his daughter?

Jiang Chan used to be unsure, but in the past few days, he has vaguely grasped the context, and he began to feel at ease.

This is really because, although Qi Lian's feelings are not strong, they are sincere.She herself is very calm, she doesn't rush to do anything, but she seems to have a plan in her mind.At her age, it is actually not easy to be so calm, and Jiang Chan can't help but feel admiration when thinking of her previous experience.

When she was young, she gained the most powerful power, but when she vaguely climbed to the highest point, she fell from a high place and was covered with bruises, but she did not give up on herself because of the scars, and she did not have the darkest love in the past. □I lost myself in the past few years, but instead grew into such a calm and excellent appearance, which is very good, very good.
