The Old Age Love Chapter 9

The next day at work, the news channel host chatted with Emily in a particularly friendly manner while sitting in the elevator. She also held the hands of several big-budget variety show hosts and took the initiative to greet her. In the cafeteria, tea room, and bathroom, Emily welcomed waves of curious people. She suddenly became a hot commodity from an unknown person.

Emily knew what was going on.

Living in a luxury house, driving a luxury car, it is not a relationship of support but a formal marriage. No matter who her husband is, he must be a rich man. Rich people usually have extensive connections, and no one will offend her easily.

When people smile at her, she smiles even brighter; when people are polite to her, she is extra polite; when people treat her to snacks, she shares her baked cookies.

Old partner Zhou: "Invite, invite. For a big event like a wedding, you have to invite. When will you hold the wedding banquet? I'll give you a big red envelope. My cousin just got married in the spring. The hotel is a newly renovated five-star hotel. The environment is high-end and the food is affordable. Do you want me to recommend a business card to you?"

Colleague A, who I know well, said: "You're getting married. When will you invite us to the wedding? Don't rush to have kids at your age. Just have fun for a couple of years first."

Colleague B, who is not very familiar with me: "It's so sudden. I didn't even know you had a boyfriend. Congratulations."

Emily sincerely thanked everyone for the congratulations. She glossed over Caleb's mention. Everyone thought she was young and had a thin face, so they joked with her and left without asking any questions.

Emily let out a sigh of relief. No matter how many fake colleagues there are, as long as they can keep up appearances, that's all. As a salted fish, I don't have high requirements. After saying "thank you" hundreds of times with a fake smile in one day, the salted fish felt a little tired.

After get off work in the evening, Emily waited for the elevator. With a "ding" sound, the metal door opened, and her eyes met with Hannah's.

Emily was squeezed to Hannah's side by the crowd leaving get off work. As the elevator went down, the frosted wavy stripes vaguely reflected the outlines of the two people.

Emily looked straight ahead, feeling the sharp, burning gaze fixed on her, without feeling any discomfort.

Hannah was almost mad with anger.

She was warned by Ethan not to provoke Emily again. Isn't this ridiculous? She had already discovered that Ethan wanted to seduce Emily, and her phone was full of harassing messages. It turned out that she suspected Emily was playing hard to get, but who would have thought that she would get married.

What are you so proud of?

Hannah sneered in her heart: Maybe Emily's husband is a bald, greasy old man with a big belly. If she marries him, she will have to be a stepmother to a child older than herself...

Thinking of this, Hannah felt balanced. At least Ethan was not bald or old, and he was still a first-time bride.

Just wait and see. Haicheng is so big. When she meets him in social occasions in the future, she wants to see what Emily’s rumored billionaire husband looks like.

Hannah proudly raised her fingers and lifted the long hair that was hanging in front of her chest to her shoulders. Emily then noticed that the necklace and earrings she was wearing today were a set. The main stone of the tsavorite was emerald green and full, but not dull, which was very suitable for a young and lively girl.

In most people's inherent impression, the luxurious and noble emerald, pigeon blood ruby, cornflower sapphire have an unshakable position in the jewelry world, but they are more suitable for older people to wear. Until Emily received the custom jewelry sent by Mr. Zhu, she felt that she was really a frog in the well. How could there be such a high-end and pure gem that you can't pull out after just one look! It's so beautiful!

The elevator reached the first floor. Emily withdrew her gaze calmly and walked away quickly.

Hannah:......

Emily must have seen it, so she just pretended to be blind! What's so great about living in Longting No. 1? Although Ethan is unreliable, his family is well-known in Haicheng. As long as you can get in, you can work less for 20 years, and you can still wear famous brands, wear famous watches and drive luxury cars.

Emily, who had already walked far away, was actually thinking: Walk faster, otherwise I won't be able to buy the fresh prawns that I dreamed about last night. The regular season of the new season of the "Sky Alliance" will kick off next Saturday. The opening match between NSD and IMF is eye-catching. I hope NSD can win.

Can Caleb get back in time?

This weekend she will be rehearsing for the opening ceremony of the regular season, so she probably won't have time to buy a sofa and a mattress. The commercial value of "The Sky" is increasing year by year, and the organizers have decided to hold this year's opening ceremony at the Haicheng Stadium. Emily has always been working behind the scenes, and this is her first time facing tens of thousands of viewers. She's so nervous, so nervous that her calves cramp when she thinks about it, sob.

"So exciting and cute!"

"When you open your mouth, your DNA moves!"

"Can we take a photo together?"

Backstage at the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the new season of "The Sky", a group of staff members surrounded Emily in the center.

The girl has fair and healthy skin, and her sweet facial features reveal a watery and charming look. She is wearing the costume of the two-dimensional mecha heroine Nora and silver twin ponytails, which makes people exclaim in surprise.

Emily felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She blushed as she was manipulated like a mascot by all kinds of mobile phones.

A week later, Caleb, who had recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital, returned to the NSD base.

Lao Ba's small eyes were red like a rabbit's. "Brother, you're finally back. I missed you so much. How's your hand recovering? Does it still hurt?"

Star is much thinner than when Caleb left. "Captain, don't bring any plastic bags from now on. Call me if you need anything."

Azhe and Golden also said: "Captain, now that you are back we have a backbone."

Caleb smiled lazily and patted Lao Ba's shoulder. He also ruffled Star's messy hair and looked at everyone. "The operation was very successful. I have been doing rehabilitation every day as required. The wound has basically healed. Don't treat me as a fragile object. I can still fight."

The worry and confusion that had permeated the NSD team members during this period disappeared completely with Caleb's words, and the light of determination rekindled in everyone's eyes.

Only Zach and Paul looked at each other with complicated eyes. The latter said, "Okay, okay, your captain needs to continue to rest. The next training match will start in ten minutes. Go and do what you need to do."

Tomorrow is the opening match with the IMF. We have been training hard for more than ten days just to win. E-sports relies most on the feel of the game. The more games there are, the more we cannot slack off and rest.

Zach delivered the luggage to Caleb's room and did not leave immediately.

Caleb took off his long-sleeved windbreaker, revealing several protective bandages wrapped around his wrists. Zach looked at the hands that had dominated the league for many years and frightened opponents, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Although I really want to treat you as my cash cow for life and live a life of luxury, competitive sports are cruel. Star is very hardworking, sleeping only five or six hours a day and eating in front of the computer. Paul said he has good talent and will grow up in time. Lao Ba and the others are in stable condition and know to take the initiative to practice more. You... just retire quietly, make some money by live streaming and help the team attract traffic, okay?"

"When did I say I wanted to retire?" Caleb slumped lazily in his chair, with three buttons undone on his soft black silk shirt. The bright sunlight divided his face into two parts, half bright and half dark.

The bridge of his nose is straight under his deep eyebrows, his lips are neither too thick nor too thin, his jawline is thin and smooth, and there is a small brown mole on the knot that is unique to men. His deep and resolute eyes hidden in the shadows are lazy and reveal an unstoppable and fierce spirit.

Zach advised earnestly: "Master Ken, you haven't trained for several months. Yes, the surgery was successful and the recovery is very good, but the purpose of the surgery is not to let you stand on the court again, but to let you live a normal life like an ordinary person as much as possible!"

"I know you're unwilling, I know it all!"

"After standing at the top for so many years, you are unwilling to retire. You think as long as your hand is not broken, you can still play. Have you forgotten how Paul retired? He debuted at the age of 17 in a well-established club. He is a repairman who can attack and nurse. He is known as the "most fierce nurse" and has fans all over the world. But in the last game, his waist injury recurred and he was in poor condition, and lost to the then champion team Fire. How did he get booed off the court? Those people only remembered that he lost the ticket to the world championship. Who remembers how many games he won?"

"Akan, I know you love this profession more than anyone else. Let's retire properly, okay? You can retire but not leave the team. You are a brick of our team. You can be moved wherever you are needed, coach, manager... As long as you say so, Paul and I will give way at any time."

Caleb knew that Zach was truly doing this for his own good.

He was suddenly seriously injured, and the team was short of talent in a short period of time. The sponsorship was almost gone, and the operation was extremely difficult. Zach said that he wanted to suck his blood for the rest of his life, but in fact, he hoped more than anyone else that he would retire standing at the peak of his glory.

Caleb didn't want to have a tense argument with Zach. "I still need to rest for my hand injury. I'll talk about retirement later. Ask Lao Ji to send me the training match video so I can take a look."

Zach knew that Caleb had temporarily given in after years of tacit understanding, so he quickly responded, "Okay, with your help, Old Ji, our regular season will be more stable. Are you free tonight? I'll order a table of 'Panyuan' private dishes to welcome you."

Caleb nodded.

He originally planned to go home for dinner, but after getting off the plane, Olivia called and said that Emily had something to do today and asked him to come back tomorrow.

Tsk.

Those who don’t know might think that Emily is the biological daughter and he is the son-in-law of the family?

Emily wasn't there, and his mother was too lazy to cook for him. What kind of thing is this? !

He took out his cell phone and scrolled through his Moments.

There is a large group for professional players in the League of Legends, which is convenient for making appointments for meals and group play. Knowing that Caleb was discharged from the hospital and returned to Haicheng after recovering from his injury, many people frantically @ed him in the group.

[Mortal-Luo: On behalf of the Mortal Club, I would like to congratulate Ken on his discharge from the hospital. I hope Ken can take another year or so to rest. We are not looking forward to your return at all, really [dog head]]

[Warriors-Marvin: Yes, God Ken, actually basking in the sun and drinking some wolfberry every day and rocking slowly in a rocking chair is very suitable for your temperament, really [dog head]]

[KDN-PuPu: Hahahahaha, I got the picture. From now on, the emoticons on Ken’s phone will all be bright red roses with colorful fluorescent words]

[NSD-Ken: @凡人-Luo @勇士-Marvin @ KDN-PuPu are not necessary, go away]

【NSD-Ken: Actually, I am quite interested in professional commentary now. Maybe I will be a commentator on stage one day. Luo, a mortal player, had a hot temper when he was young, and his biggest hobby was to send kills from afar. Marvin was even killed by a genius player in a regular season game, and he almost became a ghost. Does PuPu still remember that the same genius player blocked the door of the fortress in the qualifying game and couldn't leave? 】
 
[Fanren-Luo: @NSD-Ken, if you want to become a commentator, I will retire right here]

[Warriors-Marvin: Bro, bro, I was wrong, please be merciful]

[KDN-PuPu: God Ken, I am wrong, I kowtow to you]

After joking around for a while, Caleb closed the group chat and entered the Moments, where he casually saw Emily's post cheering for NSD.

Caleb thought Xianyu would not work overtime on the weekend, so he typed: [The live broadcast is clearer than the live broadcast, but the live broadcast has a better atmosphere]

Emily replied quickly: [Hmm]

Caleb's lips curved slightly, inviting a girl for the first time in his life: [You can come and see the show tomorrow if you are free, I have tickets for the inside show]

The tickets for the opening ceremony had been sold out long ago. NSD was the team participating in the opening match, so Zach should have some extra tickets.

He felt that Emily was unlikely to refuse.

Caleb thought.

Emily replied immediately: [I will be there to cheer for you guys tomorrow! NSD will win! ]

Caleb had seen her circle of friends and knew that Emily didn't play games. Why did she come to watch the opening ceremony when she didn't play games?

The answer is obvious.

Caleb was in a good mood.

The next second, Emily sent another message: [No need for the ticket, I have one]

Caleb was stunned, and a little man suddenly popped out of his mind and slapped him in the face.

What a slap in the face.

Caleb replied with a yellow soybean smiling emoticon with an expressionless face.

[Emily: Mom asked us to go home for dinner together. I will wait for you in the parking lot after tomorrow's dinner? ]

[Organizer: Yes]
