Late at night, everything is silent
Ren Lingyu's eyes were slightly dull as he stared at the pitch-black sky - if the glance he had just made when his limbs were entangled and he was dripping with sweat was not mistaken, this entrance was hidden in the secret room next to the fireplace in peri's office. It seemed to be on the ceiling. Is there a painting of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt?
How did it all start? Ren Lingyu's originally almost empty gaze finally began to slowly find focus in the darkness. If I am not mistaken, it seemed that after Peri said the word "lover", everything began to become uncontrollable, from Chun's tongue to tongue. At the beginning of the marriage, thunder stirred up the earth for a moment until it got out of hand. The location also changed from the sofa to the carpet to the bed in this secret room. They rubbed their ears and temples together and entangled their limbs again and again until both of them were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. #
Go to sleep? Ren Lingyu's eyebrows raised slightly. If he had been here for a long time and fell asleep again, what time should it be now?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????#???? Ignoring others, if he, the special ship-buying envoy, had sent away all the attach谷s and guards and then stayed outside all night on a rainy night, he would not be able to pass the Xue Fucheng test alone!
Thinking about this, Ren Lingyu's whole body suddenly trembled. He stretched out his arms from the thin quilt and began to fiddle with the switch of the desk lamp with a yellow head - he remembered that just now the two people were using some reason. When nvxing was in the dominant position, peri once turned on the desk lamp to see the expression on his face more clearly.
Ren Lingyu's slender fingers traced all the way across the smooth surface of the desk, and finally stopped in front of a disc-shaped protrusion. He kept moving his fingers around the base of the desk lamp, and finally found the raised button. Just when his index finger was about to fall, a slender and slender arm suddenly passed through his armpit. The soft and boneless hand moved forward along his arm and gently pinched his wrist. With the palm of his hand, a warm and bumpy body was also pressed against his back from behind. The warm breath was sprayed into the hollow of his neck, and Ren Lingyu's body suddenly became stiff and he did not dare to move!
"Don't turn on the light" Two pieces of hot spring went up from the shoulders and neck, and finally stopped gently next to Ren Lingyu's earlobe. Ren Lingyu immediately felt his earlobe being gently sucked, as if there was a thin electric current. It ran from his earlobe along his brain to his bone marrow, causing his whole body to tremble slightly.
"Iit's time to go" Ren Lingyu tried his best to calm his gradually sluggish breathing, almost incoherently: "Over thereI still have to go back to the embassy".
Peri behind her didn't answer, but turned her gentle sniffing into thin nibbles. She wrapped her other arm around Ren Lingyu from back to front, and moved it repeatedly on the latter's strong chest, moistening her lips. From his earlobe all the way down, finally landing on his shoulder, bite him hard!
Ren Lingyu suddenly let out a muffled groan in his nose. He turned over and pressed Peri under him. The hot marks started from the latter's neck and went down, close to her collarbone, chest and abdomen. Peri gasped lightly. With a sound, he opened his arms and inserted his fingers deeply into Ren Lingyu's slightly wet hair.
?????????? ~~~~~~~~~~I am the dividing line that is not suitable for children~~~~~~~~~~~
Intermission
Peri lay on Ren Lingyu's bare chest, drawing circles on it with his fingers flexibly, and slowly adjusted his breathing. Ren Lingyu stretched out his arms cautiously and began to try to touch the switch of the desk lamp again.
light is on##
With a weak groan, Peri pulled the thin quilt from Ren Lingyu's abdomen and buried her whole body in it. Her complaining voice immediately came out from the quilt: "Why are you always doing this?" Want to turn on the light?"
"If you don't turn on the light, do you plan to ask me to come again for a third time?" Ren Lingyu asked slightly teasingly, looking at the figure huddled up and down in the quilt.
Peri in the thin quilt stopped moving. After a moment, a head of luscious red hair fluttered out from the interface between the thin quilt and Ren Lingyu's chest. Then, what appeared in front of Ren Lingyu was the pair of eyes that had regained their clarity. , blue eyes.
Peri stared at Ren Lingyu closely, his eyes full of suspicion.
"What are you looking at? Is there something growing on my face?" Ren Lingyu, who felt uncomfortable being stared at, said awkwardly.
Peri remained silent, and after a while, she clearly squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Bragging!"
"Bragging?!" Ren Lingyu raised an eyebrow maliciously. He slid his body down, and in an instant his eyes met with Peri's. When the latter reactedBefore he came, Ren Lingyu's hand had slipped into the quilt restlessly, and his tone suddenly had a hint of frivolity: "Are you doubting my physical strength and ability?"
"No!" Peri suddenly realized that the trouble was coming from her mouth. She shrank towards the bed, but almost slipped off the bed. Fortunately, Ren Lingyu stretched out the handle in time and pulled her over from the bed. , but the thin quilt on her body was not spared and slipped to the bed, and Ren Lingyu immediately narrowed his eyes dangerously!
"Uh Sir, I'm fine now. Could you please let go of your hand and let me pull up the quilt?" Sensing some change in Ren Lingyu, Peri swallowed hard and asked tentatively. .
Ren Lingyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it necessary?"
"It's very necessary", peri rolled her eyes gently, "I'm a little cold um, what are you doing?"
Ren Lingyu neatly pulled Peri into his arms, then turned over and pinned her down, and then said sincerely: "I'll use it as a quilt for you. Didn't you just say it was cold?"
Peri rolled her eyes weakly and replied: "Sir, you do have a good figure, but it seems that my quilt can cover a larger area."
"That's right." Ren Lingyu nodded solemnly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed peri's hands that were pressed hard against his chest, pulled them up, and held them firmly with one hand. Before the latter could react, he Having lowered her head, eri almost whispered in her ear: "So we should exercise moderately, so that we won't get cold"
※ Two red clouds suddenly appeared on Peri*s originally pale face. She closed her eyes suddenly, while Ren Lingyu*s face came closer and kissed deeply
~~~~~~~~~~I am the dividing line of three goals~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything finally returned to calm.
Ren Lingyu lay on his side and stretched out an arm for Peri to pillow, while the latter shrank in his arms obediently. The two people, who were almost exhausted, just lay cuddled up to each other, as if they didn't even have the strength to speak. All are lost.
After a long time, peri finally spoke and broke the silence in the room.
"Thank you", she turned around slightly, stretched out her arms around Ren Lingyu's waist, and continued in a low tone: "This is the first time I can stay in this room without turning on the lights."
Ren Lingyu did not speak, but stretched out his hand, held the fine red hair on her head with his fingers, combed it carefully, and moved it behind her ears - according to the "Hysteria Treatise" published by the Austrian psychiatrist three years later According to the statement in "Collection", people who have an inexplicable dependence on secret rooms and light are often absolutely insecure due to congenital or acquired factors, and this is indeed consistent with the experience of the woman in my arms.
"This secret room was built after I had a lucky escape from Russia" Peri turned his head and looked at the sky, murmuring: "Everyone has a little bit of something when they come back from a near-desperate situation. Insecure, what do you think?"
Ren Lingyu nodded silently, but he immediately realized that it was impossible to see his movement from the angle Peri was at at this time, so he said: "I understand."
"I know you will understand" Peri closed her eyes gently, then opened them again. She turned her head to look at Ren Lingyu, stretched out a hand to gently brush the white hair on his temples, He continued: "It has only been a few months since we separated last time, but you have so many white hairs here It seems that you are indeed worried."
"If you have worries and internal fire, it will inevitably damage your liver and kidneys" Ren Lingyu smiled unnaturally and then responded.
But peri nodded solemnly, "I understand." She raised her head and stared at Ren Lingyu, and continued: "Get up and get dressed."
"Get dressed?" Before Ren Lingyu could fully react, Peri had already sat up from the bed. She pulled the thin quilt around her body, tiptoed to the ground, and grabbed the clothes scattered on the floor. She threw it to Ren Lingyu. After cleaning up all the clothes belonging to the latter from the floor, she threw the thin quilt aside and started to put on her own clothes.
"Why are you still standing there?" After peri buttoned the last button of his coat, he turned around and found Ren Lingyu holding a shirt in his hand, still looking at him blankly.
"Huh?" Hearing Peri's call, Ren Lingyu started to get dressed as if he had just woken up from a dream. However, until this moment, he still could not understand the purpose of Peri's move.
"Don't think too much" Peri looked at Ren Lingyu with a smile, as if he could see through the uneasiness and doubts in his mind, "I'm just not used to it."
"Not used to it?" Ren Lingyu's hand that was putting a shirt on his body suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at Peri suspiciously: "What's wrong?"Habit? "
Peri didn't answer Ren Lingyu right away. She walked over to u芍ng and finished it. She stretched out her hand to help Ren Lingyu fasten the buttons on his shirt one by one. At the same time, she said: "You told me in the car today that you have no money, right?" What?"
Ren Lingyu nodded slightly, his eyes filled with doubt - what does this have to do with not being used to it?
"And I also told you that the most valuable bargaining chip in my hand is my wallet." Peri had already fastened the last button for Ren Lingyu, and she gently reached out to help him brush away the wrinkles on his shirt. He continued: "It's just that money is a too naked thing. I'm really not used to talking about this kind of thing when I'm naked"
~~~~~~~~~~I am the dividing line~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing the well-dressed Yatinrovsky putting away the coffee cups on the coffee table one by one with a neat movement that was clearly inconsistent with his age, Ren Lingyu was a little dazed for a moment, if it weren't for the changes in the hands on the clock in the corner. As well as the slight tingling sensation still existing between his shoulders and neck, he almost suspected that everything that had just ended was just a dream!
Peri, who was sitting opposite Ren Lingyu, signed the last note on the document that Yatinrovsky brought in, put away the pen, and handed the document back to Yatinrovsky, who respectfully said to Peri He bowed deeply, turned around and bowed friendly to Ren Lingyu, then turned and left.
The door of the room closed again, and Ren Lingyu's eyes returned to the opposite side. The woman in front of him had short fiery red hair that was even more dazzling under the night and light. The moonlight shining through the gap from the window gave her The body was coated with a layer of cold silver, which made Ren Lingyu feel a little strange for a moment
?Peri picked up the bone china cup in front of her, her movements were as elegant and dignified as ever. She took a sip of the Ceylon black tea that still exuded a faint aroma, and said casually: "Tell me the number you need?"
Ren Lingyu suddenly felt annoyance in his chest. He looked at the woman in front of him who was almost completely different from a moment ago, and a string of characters blurted out from between his teeth almost without thinking: "You look like this, it makes me feel that you are discussing with me." Sichuan capital after I provide you with services!§
Peri's hand holding the cup paused for a moment, and then she gently put the cup back on the coffee table. She clasped her hands and stared at Ren Lingyu, her blue eyes as calm or condensed as ever.
Ren Lingyu, on the other hand, looked at Peri without showing any signs of weakness. He had not really thought about the words he just said in his heart, or he was unwilling to think about it, but Peri's tone and words just seemed to have the right temperature. With moisture, let those little buds burst out of the ground!
"Mr. Ren, although you have a good figure and physical strength, and although there is no way to compare, I believe your figure is also good" After a moment of silence, Peri spoke again with sarcasm, "But, I I believe that compared with the professionals in London's elite clubs, your performance is definitely not the best, and the highest price among them is five hundred pounds a night, so how much remuneration do you think you should get?"
The air was filled with particles called ridicule, and Ren Lingyu suddenly felt that this scene was extremely ridiculous - he and she both had this ability when getting along. They were still hugging and entangled more than ten minutes ago, as if there was only one person left in the world. A man and a woman who love each other can turn the atmosphere into a cold stalemate after a moment!
"Set your conditions!" Now that the relationship between them has returned to a business-like relationship between buyers and sellers, Ren Lingyu simply stopped being secretive: "You and I both know very well that there will be no such thing in this world. There is a free lunch, and if you are willing to lend me money, the only explanation is that I also have something you want here. Tell me, what do you want this time? The remaining shares of Kailuan Mine? "
Peri quietly lowered her eyes, preventing Ren Lingyu from seeing the emotions in her eyes clearly. When she spoke again, she was calm: "I am now the second largest shareholder of Kailuan Mine. To me, between 40% and 51% The distance is not an insurmountable distance"
"Besides Kailuan, I really can't think of anything else I can give you." Ren Lingyu answered very quickly, and then changed the subject, "However, I have another suggestion!"
??〞〞Instead of waiting passively to let the mermaid die, it is better to stand up and fight back! Now that things have returned to Chiluoluo's transaction route, you might as well try it before waiting for the other party to make a bid. Maybe you can also take the initiative in the matter!
Peri raised her eyebrows: "Suggestions? Tell me and listen?"
"There seems to be one thing we can do together." Ren Lingyu's tone was as calm as water, "August this year seems to be the day of the British Parliament election?"
There was a rare trace of confusion in peri's expression, "Indeed, what?"??
Ren Lingyu's next question followed: "Who do you favor? The Conservative Party or the Liberal Party? Salisbury third or that brilliant doctor?"
Peri tilted her head slightly and glanced sideways at Ren Lingyu: "The Rothschild family has never been interested in manipulating elections!"
"Not speculating does not mean not speculating. You just can't grasp the final pulse, so you would rather wait and wait for the price to sell." Ren Lingyu raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth - at least three countries in the world have treated the Jews. Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States have maintained their friendship as always, but behind this so-called friendship is the Jewish consortium's clever speculation on the economic lifeline of the three countries and their manipulation of political competition.
"You're right." Peri nodded slightly, his expression frank, "Can you tell me who I want to bet on?"
"Who are you more optimistic about?" Ren Lingyu's tone was a little more impatient, "Can you not let me repeat it a third time?"
"The Marquess of Salisbury has been Prime Minister of the British Empire for six years. During these six years he has captured Burma for Great Britain, conquered Nigeria and Kenya, entered Uganda and occupied Rhodesia, so that the sun never sets on the Empire. Covering more land and oceans" He said words of praise, but Peri's tone was calm and emotionless, "Everything proves that he is more likely to win. Of course, I also I think Mr. Gladstone is not without a chance."
"The arguments are solid and the reasons are sufficient, but the other possibility is not completely ruled out." Ren Lingyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It can be said that it is watertight."
"Who are you optimistic about?", peri asked directly, not moved by Ren Lingyu's praise at all.
"If I say, I suggest No, I ask you to put all the chips you and I have on Gladstone and his Liberal Party, do you agree?" Ren Lingyu's tone was flat, but what he said was very little. Shockingly close.
There was a wave of excitement in Peri's originally clear and quiet eyes, but her cold face remained as calm as water: "Reason?"
"The Conservative Party will suffer a disastrous defeat in this year's general election!" Ren Lingyu said categorically, "I believe you know better than me how much business opportunities there are behind the change of political parties."
"The Conservative Party suffered a disastrous defeat?" Peri frowned slightly, "From all the current signs, I can't see this!"
"I know!" Ren Lingyu responded calmly.
The corner of Peri's mouth raised slightly, and she gave Ren Lingyu a cold smile: "You want me to invest most of my chips, and the basis is just three words like 'you know'?"
"Coupled with all our previous cooperation? How about it?" Ren Lingyu was unusually calm. "You have already received returns from Coca-Cola that exceed expectations, haven't you? As for other projects that have not yet made any profits, I have just seen you If you add up all the investments and income and compare the income statement, you will only make a profit but not a loss, right?"
Peri looked at Ren Lingyu quietly for a while, and the flash of sadness in her eyes actually made Ren Lingyu feel a pain in his heart, but the clear blue eyes immediately became as deep as the sea, making Ren Lingyu almost feel that her vulnerability was just his own illusion.
Peri said softly: "It's not me, it's us."
Ren Lingyu suffocated slightly. He considered his words and spoke again: "Thank you Now I just need a simple answer, a very simple choice between two, yes or no?"
Peri lowered her eyelids again, which was her habitual action before making a major decision. Ren Lingyu already knew this.
"The Earl of Beaconsfield has always been a Zionist during his lifetime" She was interrupted by Ren Lingyu before she finished speaking.
"Napoleon once granted citizen treatment to the Jews in France, but this did not prevent the Rothschild family from siding with Wellington in the war, including your French branch." Ren Lingyu was already a little impatient, "Yes, Or not? Miss Rothschild?"
peri finally raised her head again: "ok!"
"What's the share ratio?" Ren Lingyu asked.
"Old rules."
Ren Lingyu let out a sigh of relief, "Okay!" He stood up from the sofa and asked, "Can I borrow your telegraph room? I think I need to send a long telegram to Tianjin."
?Peri raised her slender bare hands to the room: "It's up to you."
Ren Lingyu nodded gently: "Thank you!" He walked towards the door. When his hand had already grasped the door handle decorated with exquisite relief, Peri's voice sounded behind him again.
"Don't you want to know the conditions I just wanted?"
?"No," Ren Lingyu replied simply, "I have already offered my price, and you agreed."
"What you offer is not the price, but the risk." Peri calmly stated a fact.
"Risk and return have always been twins. Only with high risks can there be high returns." Ren Lingyu still has not looked back.
"Then do you want to know what I will do if you lose this round?", peri turned his head and looked at the tall figure at the entrance of the door. "If you lose, I will continue to use the remaining capital to create a new world for you." Enough momentum, even if I pawn all my jewelry for this, spend the last penny in my wallet, big enough to make the Japanese believe that your existence may even affect their dream of rising, then, I will I will disclose my relationship with you at the appropriate time"
"From now on, if you wait for Aoki or even Ito Hirobumi to come to you, will you give up your support for me as a bargaining chip and wait for a price?" Ren Lingyu sneered slightly, "You really deserve to be Beaconsfield. As an admirer of the earl, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests. This sentence really resonates with you"
"I am not an admirer of the Earl of Beaconsfield, nor do I admire Countess Walewska's approach. There is only one person who I can truly admire, and that is Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain!", peri quickly He interrupted Ren Lingyu, and there was a bit of anxiety in his tone, although it was only fleeting.
Ren Lingyu turned around suddenly, but Peri turned his head at that moment, leaving him with only a slender figure.
"Elizabeth I?" Ren Lingyu muttered to himself.
"I thought I would be like her" Peri's voice suddenly became ethereal, "The relationship between us has not been a simple relationship between a man and a woman from the beginning. Your desire and my expectation are all in your dreams. The country of my parentsI will do that kind of thing with younothing else, because only then can you treat me wholeheartedly, and I will do the same"
Even though many years have passed, Ren Lingyu can still clearly recall Peri's voice at this time. The voice, which had always been cold, was sonorous that day and was full of reluctance and determination. It was like a lotus seed blooming quietly in the dark night, hidden in the core. Cold sorrow
