Hearing this, Lin Yan’s slender body sank deep into the back of the chair. A few strands of long, wavy, dark chestnut hair slid down her shoulders as she moved, making her look even thinner and smaller.
She looked at him through the transparent window. Her pair of dark eyes were like talking stars, flashing and making it impossible for him to look away. She said, “I thought you didn’t want me to wander among the men. ”
In other words, even if he didn’t help her, she would find a man who was willing to help her.
Fu Qingshan did not doubt Lin Yan’s personal charm at all. He also did not doubt her words that she would wander among the men to find a backer.
However, just hearing her words, an inexplicable anger welled up in his chest, not to mention that she really did wander among the men.
He lowered his head lazily. His slender fingers held the cigarette that was lightly tapped on the back of his hand in his mouth and lit it up. Then, through the misty green and white smoke, he looked back at the woman on the other side of the glass.
Their eyes met and no one spoke.
Silence spread… …
In the end, it was Lin Yan who moved her gaze away first. That man’s pitch-black eyes were too much like an endless sea. She was really afraid that she would be addicted to it and unable to extricate herself.
A faint smile remained on her fair and clean little face. The light from the ceiling poured down, curving the corners of her lips into a perfect line “I’ve thought about it. A man that can be solved with a snap of a finger really doesn’t need to go through so much trouble to find another man to take over. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The decision is still in Mr. Fu’s hands. ”
Because she clearly knew that even if she really found another man to take over her life, she would still have to bypass Fu Qingshan. Then, there was really no need for her to take so many detours.
Fu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly. After inhaling and exhaling, his voice became thick and hoarse. “To you, I’m only at the level of a pinky swear? ”
“Or what? ”
Lin Yan’s petite body suddenly leaned forward. Her beautiful face stopped when she was only a few centimeters away from the huge transparent glass. She looked at Fu Qingshan, who was opposite her, and said, “If I tell you to get lost, will you really get lost? ”
Fu Qingshan smiled softly. Then, he raised his hand and waved it casually. Immediately, someone walked over from the corner and opened the door on the wall between the two of them.
Lin Yan looked in disbelief at the man who could only look at each other through the glass a second ago, but who was now standing beside her. “Fu Qingshan, are you crazy? This is a prison, not your home. ”
Fu Qingshan’s tall figure almost covered all the light above her head, enveloping her in the shadow of his figure. He bent down, and his handsome and indifferent face gradually approached her delicate and gentle little face “If you beg me, I can let you out of prison right now. ”
In the past, when she circled around him, the most she saw was his frown and impatience.
She thought that if he took the initiative and enthusiasm at this time and got a little bit of what he did in the past, she would not be reminded of him, except for the cold and cold memory.
“after all… old JI and I are not very considerate people. What if he resisted desperately when we trapped him and accidentally hurt him… ”
Lin Yan obviously knew that he was referring to Lin Nancheng.
The political forces in the country were complicated, and the political struggles were constantly escalating. Even if Lin Nancheng wanted to protect himself, he couldn’t do it even if he wanted to. Moreover, he hadn’t thought about protecting himself.
“Aren’t you afraid that your grandfather will be angered by me and end up in the hospital, unconscious? ”
Lin Yan’s soft, boneless arms hooked around his slender neck, and her light breath sprayed around his ears, bringing with it a dense warmth “Mr. Fu, you and I are both adults. We can both take what we need to negotiate a deal, but don’t talk to me about feelings. Do you understand? ”
Fu Qingshan raised his sword-like eyebrows, and a pair of iron arms directly wrapped around her slim waist, lifting her whole body from the chair and bringing her to his chest.
He was very tall, and he had to lower his head to see her face clearly. “There are countless women who want to negotiate a deal with me. Are You so confident that I won’t let you go? ”
“Yes, if I asked someone to send you a message and you didn’t come, I might not have much confidence. ”
It had only been three hours since she had released the news to him, especially in the middle of the night. Yet, he had rushed here with the stars and the moon, proving something that was self-evident.
Lin Yan’s small hands propped up in front of Fu Qingshan’s broad chest, trying hard to put some distance between them. “So, Mr. Fu, are you going to agree or not? ”
Fu Qingshan’s iron arms hugged her with a neither loose nor tight strength. It did not hurt her, but it also made her unable to break free.
He lowered his head slightly, his lips close to her ear, and his voice was very low and hoarse, which was unique to smoke. “But what should I do? Lin Yan, I only need a woman… to talk to me about relationships. ”
“If this is your answer, then Mr. Fu, I’d rather try to walk among men than follow you. ”
The meaning behind his words was that if he couldn’t avoid her at all, then they would each take what they needed to talk about a deal. But if he insisted on talking about love with her, then she would rather try it among men.
The painkiller that Fu Qingshan had taken had almost lost most of its effect, and she would push it away forcefully. The piercing pain on his back assaulted him again, causing his exquisite sword-like eyebrows to crease heavily His voice could not help but carry a hint of a heavy, suppressed tone. “Don’t move. ”
Lin Yan was startled by his sudden increase in voice. Her thin shoulders could not help but shrink a little. Fu Qingshan noticed it and immediately softened his voice. “My back is injured. Don’t move. Let me hug you for a while. ”
“But I’m sorry, Mr. Fu. I don’t have any obligation to let you hug me. ”
As she said this, Lin Yan reached out her hand and pushed Fu Qingshan away forcefully. She tried her best to ignore the pained expression on his face “Also, the affectionate route is not suitable for you and me. If you feel that you can’t accept my proposal, then… you can get lost now. ”
There was a faint smile on Lin Yan’s lips the entire time. When she looked at him, there was no resentment or hatred. It was so calm that it was as if the entanglement of the past dozen years no longer existed.
Fu Qingshan was caught off guard. He was pushed back by the force of her sudden push, causing him to take a few steps back. He only stopped when his broad back rammed into the cold wall. The piercing pain became even more intense He felt as if the whole world was spinning. He could hear the roaring sound in his ears. Even his vision became hazy. He could not even see the outline of the woman in front of him clearly.
Lin Yan glanced at him. She did not stay any longer. Instead, she lifted her feet and walked out.
Fu Qingshan held his head that was in intense pain. He chased after her for two steps. Before he could reach out his hand, he fell heavily to the ground. If he were on a hospital bed right now, the doctor would definitely shake his head and say, “how did you persist in walking with such serious whipping injuries? ” He even raised his arms to hug her?
However, at this moment, before he sank into the world of darkness, he saw the back of the woman who was walking further and further away without even turning her head back. Her footsteps did not even pause for a moment.
Meanwhile, his mind was filled with the images of her circling around him all those years ago.
…
Qiao man went to the emergency department of the hospital to treat her wound briefly. When she returned to the Blue Lake Bay villa, it was already five past three in the morning.
Meng Dongxing was still awake. He was sitting on the Sofa in the living room of the villa, smoking a cigarette. When he heard the sound of the security door opening, his pair of deep, bottomless black eyes looked over coolly through the green and white smoke. The complicated emotions in his eyes.. Qiao man subconsciously lowered her gaze and did not look at him.
She changed into her slippers and asked softly, “it’s so late, you’re still awake? ”
Meng Dongxing nodded and continued to smoke, as if he had no intention of continuing the conversation with her.
Qiao man was too tired. She changed into her slippers and walked towards the stairs. “then I’ll go to bed first. You should go to bed early too. ”
“wait… ”
Qiao man had just raised her feet when she heard a deep man’s voice behind her. She half turned around and looked at the tall man sitting under the crystal Chandelier in the living room. “Is there anything else? ”
“Come here for a moment. ”
Meng Dongxing’s broad back was deeply embedded in the back of the SOFA. His slender legs were casually crossed, and his posture was extremely lazy and casual. “I have something to discuss with you. ”
“What is it? ”
Qiao man walked over and did not sit down. Instead, she stood in front of him, about two meters away from him.
Meng Dongxing raised his eyebrows and waved his long arm that was resting on the Armrest of the SOFA. “Why are you so far away? Come closer. ”
Qiao man kept feeling that Meng Dongxing was a little abnormal tonight, but she could not pinpoint what exactly was abnormal.
After hearing what he said, she moved forward a little. “Meng Dongxing, I’m very tired. If you don’t have anything important to say, we can talk about it tomorrow! ”
“No, we have to clarify this matter first. ”
After saying that, Meng Dongxing patted the empty seat next to him. “Come and sit down. Let’s talk slowly. ”
Qiao man took a deep breath and walked over to sit next to him. “Is this okay? Go ahead, I’ll listen. ”
Meng Dongxing’s hand, which was holding the cigarette between his fingers, was placed on the bent leg bone. However, it was still burning, and he did not smoke for a long time. After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth to speak “Qiao Man, do you know why I didn’t pursue Ji Yunshen two or three times? Although we are husband and wife in name, even if we are husband and wife in name, it doesn’t mean that I can let others cheat on me as I please. ”
Qiao man shook her head, and her voice was as gentle as water. “I don’t know. ”
The two or three times that Meng Dongxing mentioned probably meant that Ji Yunshen had visited the Blue Lake Bay villa in the middle of the night and knocked down nearly a hundred international mercenaries. Then, he had privately brought her back to the Blue Mountain villa at the prison entrance Then, he had fiercely slept with her inside and out. He had even personally seen her, and then… … It was tonight …
It had only been five or six days since she had returned to the country in a high-profile manner, but she had already encountered Ji Yunshen’s pestering so many times. Even if Meng Dongxing was a fool, he was enough to understand Ji Yunshen’s meaning.
Moreover, from the moment Ji Yunshen found out that Qiao man and he had registered their marriage, he had used all kinds of methods to destroy or even maliciously disrupt his domestic business market. Sometimes, he really felt that Ji Yunshen was a f * cking lunatic However, he did not admire this lunatic because he really intended to compromise.
After all, he could not lose the domestic market. At least, he could not lose it until he had completely gotten rid of Wen Jiaming.
“Ji Yunshen used his power in the country and the dominant position of the Mingyuan group in Lin city to destroy almost all of my domestic business market. In other words… “In three days, everything that he had allowed me to operate in the country for almost ten years was gone. ”
Qiao Man’s relaxed brows slowly furrowed. “So, you plan to hand me over to him? ”
“No, I’m telling you all this now because I don’t want to force you anymore. Wen Cheng is my responsibility and has never had anything to do with you. You don’t have to feel guilty towards her anymore. The past few years have been enough for you to repay her. ” At this point, he paused “Of course, if you want to completely escape from Ji Yunshen, you can also choose to live with me. ”
Meng Dongxing was also a successful businessman. In the world of businessmen, they could only use and be used.
Previously, he chose to maintain this nominal marriage because she still had a lot of value to use. Now, he chose to give up because she had hurt his interests.
Whether it was Wen Jiaming or Ji Yunshen, he cared about how to achieve his heart’s desires through external things. If he couldn’t achieve it, he would just throw it away.
“Meng Dongxing, if we divorce, what will happen to Xin Qiao? ”
Xin Qiao was the main reason she was willing to marry him back then. Although it was just a win-win situation, now that he suddenly wanted to remove her from this marriage, what would happen to Xin Qiao?
If she knew that her parents, who had always been in love with each other, were simply a fake family that was formed for the sake of the mutual intrigue in the adult world, would she be able to accept it?
“We’ll get divorced sooner or later. It’s just a year earlier or a year later. It doesn’t make much of a difference to her. ”
Meng Dongxing raised the hand that held the cigarette, brought the cigarette tip to his mouth, and took a deep breath “Just now, Wen Cheng’s doctor called me and said that her intelligence has basically recovered. She only has some memory gaps, but these can be completely recovered with some time. In other words, Qiao Man, I no longer need to maintain a fake marriage because of Wen Cheng. ”
“Moreover, you and she are very good friends. If she knew that I married you, not only would she not forgive me, but she would also not forgive you. I think you should understand this principle. ”
When they got married, they had already agreed that if Wen Cheng’s intelligence recovered, or if Xin Qiao’s bone marrow match was successful, the marriage would automatically end.
Meng Dongxing did not go back on his word. It was just that she had not made the preparations to tell Xin Qiao everything. This was her problem.
“okay, I got it. What do you want to do for the divorce? ”
“The sooner the better. ”
Qiao man nodded. She glanced at the antique clock on the wall and said in a low voice, “Then let’s do it tomorrow. Let’s go back and settle the divorce. That way, you don’t have to go back to China. I will accompany Xin Qiao for the bone marrow transplant, but… “. “I hope that we can delay the divorce until Xin Qiao finishes the surgery before we announce it to the public. Is that okay? ”
In fact, this was an unreasonable request. Just as he said, Wen Cheng was not her responsibility. Similarly, Xin Qiao was not Meng Dongxing’s responsibility.
“That’s fine. After all, Wen Cheng’s recovery will take one to two months. By then, Xin Qiao will probably have finished her bone marrow transplant surgery. ”
The domestic business had basically been taken over by Ji Yunshen. Even if he wanted to make a comeback, it would still take time. Since he had already achieved what he wanted, he did not mind delaying it for another month or two Anyway, it was rare to see that high and mighty man frustrated. It would be interesting to see him for a few more days.
“Okay, thank you. ”
After Qiao man finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the stairs without saying anything else.
Meng Dongxing watched her petite figure gradually walk away until the figure disappeared from his sight. Then, he took the last puff of his cigarette and followed her up to the second floor.
Very soon, the entire Blue Lake Bay villa turned into darkness.
In the middle of the night, in front of the villa’s building, a tall man’s figure stood under the various garden lights, watching the brightly lit villa turn into darkness.
His mind was almost filled with the figures of the two people sitting side by side on the Sofa in the villa, as well as the figures of the two people going up the stairs one after the other.
The moon tonight was particularly bright, and the stars were twinkling. The night wind blew over the corner of the man’s suit and messed up the short and broken hair on his forehead.
…
The next day, at ten in the morning.
Ji Yunshen had just driven to the underground parking garage of the Mingyuan Group when the slim phone on the dashboard vibrated. He glanced at the bright screen in the dim light and saw the caller ID. Without any hesitation, he answered the call He immediately slid down the answer button.
“President Ji, the aviation department just called. They said that Meng Dongxing and Tai… Miss Qiao bought a ticket to fly back to the United States directly with Miss Xin Qiao at eleven o’clock… ”
Secretary Sun’s big hand held the phone tightly, and his voice became tense under the continuous heavy breathing from the other side.”… And it’s a one-way ticket.”
In other words, she returned in a high-profile manner, messed up a pool of spring water, and then planned to leave as if nothing had happened. She didn’t even have any lingering feelings at all?
“okay, I got it. ”
After cutting off the phone communication, Ji Yunshen immediately dialed Fu Qingshan’s number. After beeping twice, the other side picked up. “It’s so early. What’s up? ”
“Your people are all dead? The Aviation Department just called. They said that Meng Dongxing and Qiao man and their daughter are leaving forest city and returning to the United States. ”
Fu Qingshan was lying on the hospital bed. When he heard this, he furrowed his brows. “My people have been transferred away by my grandfather. I don’t have enough people, so I transferred a few back… ”
“But… why did Meng Dongxing Take Qiao man and their daughter away in such a hurry? Is the bone marrow transplant not going to be performed? ”
Ji Yunshen rubbed the space between his brows. “How long will it take for the DNA test report to be out? ”
“The results will be out tomorrow. ”
“Okay, okay, I got it. In the future, if your people have any problems, give me a heads-up in advance. I’ll send my people over, so that I won’t be the last to know that they’re leaving. Isn’t that ironic? ”
After saying that, Ji Yunshen cut off his cell phone communication and sent dozens of mercenaries to the airport. He drove there himself.
In the airport, people were coming and going, and there were noises everywhere.
Xin Qiao sat on the suitcase that belonged to her, her face full of excitement. “Daddi, are we going back to America this time? ”
Meng Dongxing saw that she had drunk the yogurt all over her face, so he took a tissue and wiped all the yogurt off her face “Daddy has to deal with business overseas, so he can’t come back. Xin Qiao will come back with Mommy for the surgery. After the surgery, Daddy will come to see you. ”
Xin Qiao’s eyes, which were shining a second ago, suddenly dimmed. “Ah, I thought DADDI and Mommy would accompany me. ”
In the world of children, there were only parents, especially for a child like Xin Qiao who was born with a physical defect. In her world, there were only parents.
“Xin Qiao, how many times has daddy told you? ” “Don’t rely on your parents so much. You have to be strong. No one in this world will sympathize with the weak. Only when you become strong enough and invulnerable enough can you gain the respect and love of others. Do you remember? ”
Meng Dongxing had always been very patient with Xin Qiao, and his method of education was more masculine. However, he had to admit that this method of education was quite persuasive at times. At least, it was persuasive to Xin Qiao.
Xin Qiao nodded after listening. “I know, Daddi. I will definitely become strong enough to protect you and mom. ”
When Qiao man bought the water back, she heard Xin Qiao’s last words. Perhaps it was because she had never thought that the usually delicate and gentle Xin Qiao would say such words. She felt her nose turn sour, and some tears even started to form in her eyes.
“What is our Xin Qiao talking about? ”
Qiao man handed one of the bottles of water to Meng Dongxing. Then, she tried to twist open the bottle in her hand, but no matter how hard she tried, the bottle cap did not loosen at all. Meng Dongxing saw this He took the bottle of water from her hand, opened it neatly, and handed it to her. “Xin Qiao said that she will become strong enough to protect you. ”
After repeating this, Meng Dongxing looked at Xin Qiao and said, “isn’t that right, Xin Qiao? ”
“that’s right, mummy. I want to overcome my illness and become healthy. That way, I can be a good child for mummy and Daddy. ”
In fact, Qiao man sometimes admired Meng Dongxing’s way of teaching. He could make children suffer some sort of blow in a short period of time, but she was different. If Meng Dongxing’s words were spoken by her, it would definitely have a different effect.. Or Rather, it definitely wasn’t the current effect.
“Our Xin Qiao is so obedient. Drink some water and moisten your throat. We’re about to board the plane. ”
Meng Dongxing twisted open the water bottle in his hand. Just as he was about to drink, he inadvertently turned his head and saw a tall and familiar figure in the crowd. Then, with a smile, he said in a low voice, “Qiao Man, I think we might not be able to go back. ”
“Why? ”
Qiao man raised her head in surprise. Before she could ask the next question, she followed Meng Dongxing’s line of sight and looked in the direction of the crowd.
