Chapter 52

"I..." Xia anling thought of the purpose of this time. It seemed that it was hard for her to speak. She said for a long time, "I won't come back for dinner today."

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then the voice of Zhan Linjin was heard.

"... oh?"

Say it directly? Xia anling took another mouthful of saliva and hesitated for a moment before she said, "I want to have dinner with Wen."

As soon as the words came out, Xia anling immediately added, "I'll be back soon! It won't be too late

There was still silence on the phone. Just when Xia anling didn't know how to say it, she heard Zhan Linjin's voice on the phone: "go, come back early."

"Ah Xia anling thought that she was listening, and almost opened her mouth to confirm it again. She immediately replied that she was afraid of Zhan Linjin and said, "I know!"

Hang up the phone, Xia anling hasn't slowed down. She looks at her mobile phone inconceivably and asks herself, "I didn't call the wrong number just now, did I?"

However, the one who should go is still going. Xia An Ling's face can't help smiling. Although it's not obvious, Zhan Linjin is really slowly trying to let her go. It's not like before, pressing everywhere.

After work, Xia anling takes Wen Ci to a western restaurant, where Zhan Linjin has brought her. The cooks are very good. Even Xia anling, who doesn't like western food, can't find fault.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Wen CI couldn't help laughing, "how do you know here?"

This place? Xia anling, while cutting the steak, casually replied, "Oh, this, I used to fight..."

Almost blurted out! Xia'an takes back Zhan Linjin's name. She looks up in horror and sees Wen Ci's face unchanged. She still looks at herself with a smile. She doesn't seem to notice anything strange.

She breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the steak into her mouth, and then said, "I've been here once before."

"Is it?" Wen CI nodded, shook the red wine glass, and watched the bright red liquid sloshing in the glass, showing an extremely charming halo in the light. "The red wine here tastes very good."

Xia An Ling said "well", then lowered her head and began to eat the steak, but her mind was not all on the steak.

She really wants to talk to Wen CI. After all, in the past, Xia anling didn't want to have any contact with Zhan Linjin. But now that she has decided to be with Zhan Linjin, she doesn't have to hide from Wen CI.

She doesn't want to cheat Wenci. Xia anling hesitates for a moment. She still looks up at Wenci with her eyes fixed. "Wenci, there's something I must tell you."

Wen CI looked up at her with gentle eyes. Under the light, her white jade face was even more dazzling.

It's just that she can't go on like this any more! Xia An Ning bit her teeth and said in a low voice, "I'll follow Zhan Linjin..."

"Anling!"

Just when Xia anling wants to tell Wen CI about this, Wen CI interrupts her directly. His smile doesn't change, but his eyes are very firm, "don't say it."

For a moment, Xia anling choked all her words and looked at Wen CI.

Why

Under the light, Wen CI lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes printed a shadow like butterfly wings on his white jade face. It was gorgeous, but his voice was soft, like a bone deep sadness.

"Don't tell me, anling."

He already knew? Xia An Ling's body trembled and her eyes turned red uncontrollably. "I bid you farewell..."

Does Wen CI actually know all about it? But now that I know, why do I treat her so well? Xia An Ling can't figure it out. Her eyes are red. She really doesn't want to hurt Wen CI.

In the most difficult years abroad, it was Wen CI who stayed by her side and took good care of her that she was able to return to the present situation. She regarded him as half of her family and did not want to hurt him anyway.

See Wen CI low head, lip dyed a little faint smile "let me stay by your side, an Ning."

Xia anling suddenly raised her head. She couldn't believe Wen's words.

It took her a long time to tremble and say, "but it's not fair to you, Wenci!"

"It's not unfair, anling." Wen CI frowned and laughed, incredibly gentle, "like a person, is not fair."

No, Xia anling shakes her head. It's still hard to understand. She always thinks that Wen CI is incredible.

They met one night. At that time, there was only one apartment arranged by Ouyang Xiu in xia'anling. It was very remote, even by car.

At that time, she went out to ramble every day, and her mind was in a mess. Zhan Linjin cuts off her wings and imprisons her in a cage. Even an eagle can't fly in the sky after being treated like this, can it?

During that period of time, her psychological problems were particularly serious. She was afraid of the night. She would turn on all the lights and music every day, just like the busy day. But even so, she still could not feel the warmth, and was still boundless loneliness and fear.

However, at this time, Wen CI appeared.

She sat on the most lively square, holding a drawing board, but her thoughts were chaotic and noisy.

Wen CI came here at this time. He stood in front of her, facing the sunshine, and said with a smile, "Miss, can you draw for me?"

She looked up in a trance and subconsciously agreed.

That afternoon, she painted all day blue sky and white clouds, flowers in the bell tower, and the man who smiles gently under the dove.

Later, after getting familiar with her, he learned about her psychological problems and arranged for a psychologist to help her out of the shadow.

It was Wen CI who helped her out of the most difficult period.

She couldn't help looking up at Wen CI. Her eyes were complicated. She lowered her head and sighed, "Wen Ci, I don't deserve your kindness to me."

Wen CI looks at the woman in front of her. She lowers her head and has a white face, just like the best white porcelain. At a glance, it looks like the White Magnolia blooming slowly on the branch. It is gentle and charming everywhere.

Indeed, she is not the kind of amazing beauty, but it has a unique flavor, it is obsessive.

He dropped his eyes and said with a smile, "I know whether you are worth it or not."

Smell speech, Xia An Ling heart heavily jump, she dare not look up to see the expression of Wen Ci, only subconsciously clenched his fist, nail deep in the palm of the hand, pain.

The silence spread over the dining table. Xia An Ling turned her head and suddenly heard Wen's words saying in a low voice, "OK, you go back first... Your knight can't wait."

Knight? Xia An Ling was stunned. She turned her head to look at the window and saw a familiar car parked outside. She didn't know how long it had been there.

"Wen ci..."

"See you tomorrow, anling."

Seeing Wen CI looking at herself with a smile, Xia anling had to stand up and walk downstairs. She went to the front of the car, the window of which was sliding down slowly, and Zhan Linjin's face was gradually showing in front of her.

Sure enough, it's him.

As the night deepened, Xia anling didn't know what to say. She subconsciously looked up at the upstairs window, but the next second, she gritted her teeth and got into Zhan Linjin's car.

Tenderness is also a kind of unspeakable harm. It's because of her procrastination that things have become like this. On the contrary, if she could tell Wenci the truth earlier, it would not be like this today.

But what Xia anling couldn't bear most was her warm attitude.

Compared with Wen Ci's current behavior, she would rather let him scold her and be angry with her. In this way, she can accept it more. Instead, she looks like this... Xia anling lowers her head and writes sad on her face.

Seeing her like this, Zhan Linjin frowned and hugged Xia anling. His voice was cold. "Did he do something to you?"

"No Xia anling shook her head, and her voice was a little flustered, "no, it's not..."

"No!" Zhan Linjin's face is cold, and his killing intention is rampant. "Otherwise, why are you like this?"

Xia anling grabs Zhan Linjin's clothes and lowers her head. Her long black hair conceals her expression and the sadness in her eyes.

"I just... Want to rely on you."

Zhan Linjin's body is slightly stiff. He feels that the woman in his arms is holding him. His voice is a little dumb. "I like you, Zhan Linjin."

Yes, very much.

She has loved him since the day she picked him up.

Therefore, even if she failed Wen Ci, she still wanted to be with Zhan Linjin.

In silence, Zhan Linjin didn't speak, but he pressed Xia anling's head and pressed her on his chest with a low voice.

"Just this once."

Only this time, only this time can I think about that man.

In fact, this time, it's not only because of Wen Ci, but also because of herself and the withered time before. In fact, she is still very afraid of repeating the tragedy at that time, and is also very afraid of whether her choice is right or not. However, when Zhan Linjin holds her tightly in her arms, she doesn't care about anything.

No matter what happens in the future, it's the future. As long as she can cherish now, it's good.

When Xia anling was in a good mood, she finally relaxed, but she was afraid of making fun of Zhan Linjin, so she just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep as if she didn't know anything.

When Xia anling finished venting her emotions, she felt a little embarrassed. She simply thought she had done nothing and pretended to sleep with her eyes closed.

The fingers gently across the corner of xia'anling's eyes, it seems that there are faint tears. Zhan Linjin looks at xia'anling with gentle eyes. He comes forward and looks at her slightly trembling eyelashes, and the corner of his mouth can't help showing a smile.
