Chapter 225: Asking for Marriage Is Not Going Favor
Chapter 225 of the journey of Xilin in the third volume is not smooth
There are no green boiled plants for decoration in the spacious living room, only the light brown planed "bent iron tree", the gear-shaped crafts placed on the flat shelves of the white walls in the corners, and the bullet shell figurines on the round table in the corners of the light-colored sofas, which bring a clear military atmosphere to the interior space of the building, which is very suitable for the identity of the owner, who is strong and silent and powerful.
The minister sat down on the sofa and began to weigh up, and the silence in the quiet living room gradually faded to an ominous dead silence, and a certain strong smell began to permeate. This smell was a kind of torture for Shi Qinghai who was standing in front of him or Xu Le who was standing at the door. No one dared to speak in the whole living room, and in the absolute silence, the sound of breathing was gradually audible, and the notes of the old-fashioned wall clock hands on the wall were ticking more and more clearly, and even a child could be faintly heard crying upstairs.
Shi Qinghai still maintained a respectful smile. However, the dampness began to build up in Serenity's flat brows, and in silence, he inhaled deeply, bowed deeply again, and then held it. Posture, do not move a minute.
In the process, he was as silent as the minister in his chair, because they knew very well that they didn't say anything because everything was silent.
However, the expression on the minister's face did not show the slightest expression, reading the document quietly, and the faint light reflected on the lens of his glasses, and there was no presence of the person in front of him at all.
After more than ten minutes, he finally finished reading the documents that needed to be reviewed quickly today, and took off his glasses. Rubbing his eyebrows, he stood up and was silent for a moment. looked at Xu Le and said, "You want to say that this person is the father of my grandson?"
The silence was finally broken, Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded silently. Shi Qinghai didn't have any superfluous movements and superfluous words at this time, just waited quietly.
The minister didn't give him a chance to wait for the results, the military bigwig's eyes narrowed slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight upstairs, his eyes not falling on him at all.
"Come to the study. The minister, who walked up the stairs, did not look back, and said in a deep voice.
Xu Le answered, bowed his head and followed. The eye was keenly aware that the arm in the sleeve of the minister's coat seemed to be trembling slightly, was it anger or something else?
Shi Qinghai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he looked thoughtfully at the backs of the two who disappeared into the stairwell, shook his head, and prepared to follow into the study, and when his feet were still ten centimeters away from the first wooden step, Secretary Jiao and two calm-looking agents blocked his way.
With a self-deprecating wry smile on his face, Shi Qinghai looked at the people in front of him, sighed and said, "It's a beautiful thing, why do we make him so complicated?"
"Please sit, please sit on the couch, please don't make it difficult for us. Secretary Jiao smiled and invited him back to the sofa, made a cup of hot tea with his own hands, and then ignored him.
The fortress is always breached from the inside, and Secretary Jiao and the military elite serve as service officers, who can leave Shi Qinghai downstairs, but they can't stop the eldest lady upstairs from coming down.
Bu Yu is wearing a red short-brimmed trench coat today, and the black and gold cocoa-style belt meets her flat lower abdomen, outlining her figure very gracefully. She frowned at the man on the sofa and said in disgust, "You promised me in your letter that you would not disturb our lives. ”
Here we are referring to Bu Yu and her most precious child, Shi Gongzi, who is accustomed to hiding his heart with a clear face, and after hearing these two words, his expression suddenly became serious and rigorous, and even a little sacred.
He got up from the sand, looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and said very seriously: "As I said in my letter, after a long and careful consideration, and from the perspective of reason and sensibility, I think it is necessary for me to join in your life. ”
Another way to explain it is: we are together, and that is our life. ”
A trace of incomprehension and annoyance flashed in Buyu's bright eyes, and he sat on the single-seat sofa, his beautiful face flashed with heavy sarcasm, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"It seems that the way of explanation just now is still too literary. Shi Qinghai took off his military hat, rubbed his hair indiscriminately, showed a sunny and handsome smile, and said, "The purpose of my coming today is to marry you as a wife." ”
The mockery on Bu Yu's face disappeared instantly, and behind the stunned stiffness was shock and inexplicable embarrassment. She bowed her head slightly and sneered to hide the emotions in her heart, and said after a moment: "This joke is not funny. ”
"This is not a joke, just now, I officially proposed to your father. Since I no longer have family, I brought my best friend as a witness to represent my sincerity. ”
Shi Qinghai said in a harmonious voice, once this extremely handsome man of flowers shows the gentleness of home so sincerely, instead of the charm of a nightclub, he seems so kind and warm.
Bu Yu's eyes flashed by this smile, she squinted her eyes and looked at each other in a daze, thinking of Xu Le who had witnessed this scene before, thinking of the entanglement of the man in front of her for the past year, all kinds of complex emotions came to her heart, there was a little sadness and helplessness, shame and disgust, or some kind of warm emotion that she was unfamiliar with.
But she was as cold and beautiful as a porcelain piece in red, so she was not moved, and she was even more hostile. just fell into silence, then picked up the kettle on the coffee table and brewed the second tea for Shi Qinghai.
Eighty-eight degrees of pure water mixed into a clean long glass, the verdant new tea brew kept spinning, like falling leaves into a stream, and the mood of the two people on the sofa was silent.
Secretary Jiao watched this scene quietly. Gently beckoning, take all the security guards in the building away, so as not to disturb the silence in the living room that means something completely different from the previous one.
In the study.
The Minister kept opening the drawers of the various squares, as if searching for something, and finally he found a dusty cedar box in the corner.
He opened the wooden box and took out a gray mountain of coarse tobacco, holding it clumsily with three fingers, but could not find where the lighter was placed.
Because of his wife, Mr. Minister has not smoked for many years.
Xu Le saw this scene, "the situation is a little complicated, he walked forward quickly, respectfully double-lit the lighter, and lit the tobacco for him."
After coughing twice, the minister quietly looked at the red light at the front of the coarse tobacco and was silent for a long time, but after all, he still did not smoke, put the tobacco on the stone chips, and let the pale blue smoke slowly release into the feast.
"The first time I saw you. It was at the funeral of Professor Shen Lao at the Xinghe Cemetery. It was raining that day, and under the big tree, I said to you, since you took the initiative to carry this pot, you must carry this pot well. ”
The minister raised his head, his eyes calm but full of oppression: "Under the tree on a rainy day, it is easy to be struck by lightning, so it seems that my trust in you from the beginning is not very reliable. ”
"I understand, so as long as Yuko wants, I can keep it on my back. But you should be clear to the minister, I can only take the blame. It has nothing to do with the pot itself, Xu Le explained in a low voice.
"But the problem is that this pot is not the style I like. Bu Yingxing thought of the person on the sofa downstairs, his eyes became indifferent, and he said, "And he is reckless and brave and almost idiot."
"Shi Qinghai is my friend. Although he used to be a little distracted, I can assure you that he is the kind of person who has to settle down. Definitely going to be the best husband. Xu Le looked back at his eyes and said very seriously: "And after all, he is the biological father of Liuhuo, and no one can change this." ”
The minister did not answer immediately. A hint of sarcasm appeared on his face, and he said: "One of the most successful spies in Qinglong Mountain, dare to assassinate Medellin with you, is it possible that this kind of person will be settled?
"I am not surprised that the Minister of Defense can know a lot of information when he hears the name Shi Qinghai. Xu Le tried to ease the tension in the study, smiled dryly, and said, "But this is at least confirmed from another aspect. He's a really good guy. ”
"It's not the Minister of Defense who is investigating him. It's a father who investigates him. Bu Yingxing's voice was a little emotional, "A spy of the ** army plays the violin outside the wall of the Xishan compound every day, if you still can't figure out what happened, you can only say that this father is too derelict in his duties." ”
Xu Le was silent after being taken aback, and at this time he realized that the minister had already determined who Liuhuo's biological father was. That's right. Although no one knew about the drunken accident on a snowy night in Linhai Prefecture except for the parties involved and Xu Le, with the power of the Minister of Defense, it was not very difficult to find out those subtle traces after being suspicious.
"I wouldn't agree to that. Because I don't want my daughter to marry a playboy, a spy, a playboy spy who could die at any moment!" Minister Xi rebuked in a deep voice.1 There is no room for doubt.
Xu didn't have time to say more good things for Shi Gongzi when he heard the last word of Mr. Minister's cold and concise words.
"Get out. Xu Le was silent, bowed his head and walked outside the study. He finally understood where the awe-inspiring temperament of the minister came from, and the minister's image of a highly respected scholar and general on weekdays was just an appearance.
Bu Yingxing looked at the back of Xu Le who walked out of the study, his anger decreased slightly, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated, and the picture of a young man walking forward with a smile behind his back appeared in his mind, and he secretly regretted it very much.
A few minutes later, Xu Le and Shi Qinghai were swept out of the house by a group of soldiers, and Bu Yu, who was wearing a red windbreaker, leaned on the door and smiled, holding the cup of green tea in his hand.
At this time, the phone in Xu Le's hand rang, and he shouted angrily: "Say."
It was Gu Xifeng who called. Then it was Da Vinci who was crying on the other end of the phone, they were directly beaten out of the house by Xiao Thirteenth's father with an alloy shower, and what made Da Vinci painful and happy was that Gao Lou's sister was actually extremely delicate.
Xu Le hung up the phone and glanced at Shi Gongzi with a depressed expression beside him, and couldn't help but be depressed to the extreme, and the courtship on both sides was very unsmooth.
(tired, not smooth, haha))
