Chapter 368

After entering the apartment, the dim yellow sensor light quickly lit up. From his angle, he could see that the dining table was covered with different sizes of heat preservation dishes. It was obvious that the food was specially prepared for him.

He stopped changing into his slippers and just stood there in a daze.

The Light Orange Light from the sensor light in the hallway drifted into the dim living room. It complemented with the sensor light that lit up at the stairway entrance, instantly bringing warmth to the apartment on a cold and rainy night.

Or to be more precise, it seemed that wherever she was, whether it was the Blue Mountain Villa, the Azure Dragon Lake apartment, or any other cold building, there would be an inexplicable air of smoke and fire, making his tired body and mind.. Have a place to rest and belong.

Of course, it was also his weakness, his shield, his armor, and the source of his warmth.

After changing his slippers, he strolled steadily towards the dining table.

A few seconds later, the tall figure of the man stood beside the dining table, almost blocking out all the orange light that was reflected in the direction of the foyer. He lowered his head and removed the insulation cover on the dining table with his big hands. He had already adapted to the darkness in his deep eyes.. He could almost see the food on the dining table clearly at a glance.

It was four dishes and one soup. It was obvious that it had not been touched. It was specially left for him.

Qiao man liked to put on a brave front, and she was also willing to say that she did not mean it. However, most of the time, she was the type of person who could put herself in someone else’s shoes.

Perhaps this could be considered as another form of consolation for the storm that he had experienced throughout the day.

He did not turn on the lights, nor was he in a hurry to go upstairs to change out of his wet clothes. Instead, he slowly sat on the dining chair and began to enjoy the delicious food on the dining table with the help of the faint light from the sensor light.

The induction lamp was gradually extinguished because there had been no movement of people or any sound in the space for a long time.

Only the lights of the garden shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the dining room. The tall and imposing figure of the man had his back facing the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows, but in a relatively dark corner, his indifference and coldness had been dispelled.

It was because he had returned in the middle of the night with a body full of fatigue. What awaited him was not coldness, but warm food and dishes.

Qiao man was not sleeping peacefully in the bedroom on the second floor. Zhou Lanqing’s face appeared in front of her eyes from time to time, as if she was smiling at her, smiling and smiling as if she was crying. It was as if she was crying to her, crying about her loneliness, crying about her unwillingness.. Crying about her… … Grievance …

When she was sleeping and waking up, she had been thinking that if she was still alive and knew what Ji Han had done, she would probably cry and complain to others like this.

Just as she was immersed in this nightmare, unable to extricate herself from it, and in a vicious cycle, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the window, faintly reaching her ears. Very quickly, her drowsy thoughts were dragged into reality.

She quickly opened her eyes and adapted to the darkness in front of her for a while. After calming down her pounding heart for a while, she was shocked to realize that she was dreaming.

After she found out that she was dreaming, she let out a long sigh of relief and slowly sat up. She wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose with her hand. Then, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She walked barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window She lifted the white curtains and looked at the Smoky Gray Bentley parked on the parking lot dozens of meters away.

The high-beam lamp in front of the car was not switched off. It passed through the heavy rain and directly shone on the building of the apartment, refracting the light and shadow.

Even so, the light and shadow seemed a little dim. Coupled with the traces of the rain on the window and the heavy rain, she could not clearly see the man’s expression. She could only see his hands on the steering wheel One of his hands would occasionally come close to his thin lips, as if he was smoking.

She stood behind the curtain barefooted and looked at him for a long time, but she did not see him stop smoking or planning to get out of the car.

The soles of her feet were getting colder and colder, causing the woman to frown.

After waiting for a while, seeing that he had no plans to get out of the car, she turned around and picked up the phone on the bedside table. Then she walked back to the French window and was about to lower her head to dial his phone number She heard the sound of the car door being slammed as the raindrops pattered on the window pane.

She reached out to wipe away the mist on the window pane and moved closer to the French window so that she could see more conveniently and clearly the man who was strolling steadily towards the apartment door.

His hands were in the pockets of his trousers. Although he was in the rain, he did not walk fast. The light was dim, and from her angle, she could not see the expression on his face at all.

After about half a minute, the tall and imposing figure of the man disappeared from her sight. The next second, the door of the apartment was opened by the man and he strode in.

She held her breath and listened attentively for a while. She did not know whether it was because the house was too soundproof or because he deliberately slowed down his footsteps. She could not hear any sound outside the door, including his footsteps.

For a second, she even wondered if she should continue to pretend to be asleep or welcome him in this state that she did not know what kind of state she was in.

But she waited in the room for a long time, but there was no sound about him.

According to the logical thinking of a normal person, shouldn’t he go upstairs to change his wet clothes after being caught in the rain late at night and then do something else?

For example, eat, take a shower, or… … Find someone to share the fatigue and pain of the day …

But he did not.

Although the air conditioner was turned on in the room, she had turned the temperature down very low. After standing on the floor barefoot for a while, she felt that her internal organs, even every nerve in her body, and the flowing blood, were all stained with a cool temperature.

She put her arms around herself, but still did not dispel the deep-rooted cool temperature.

She turned around, put on the slippers by the bed, put on a coat, and glanced at the european-style clock on the wall before taking small steps to the door.

Her big hand paused on the DOORKNOB for a few seconds before gently twisting the door open. The dim yellow sensor light above the corridor instantly lit up. She stuck her little head out, but she did not see the familiar stalwart figure And it was still that dark and gloomy light and shadow space.

Her brows were tightly knitted together as she lifted her feet and walked out of the room.

The sensor lights on the stairs lit up one by one as she walked. It was not until she went down the stairs between the first and second floors that she saw the tall man nestled in the dim light of the restaurant.

He was sitting at the side facing her and eating the food on the dining table. When he noticed the light of the sensor light, he turned his head and looked over.

The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds through the dim light before he said softly, “did I wake you up? ”

“No, I just had a nightmare and was scared awake. ”

As she said that, Qiao man continued to walk down the stairs.

When she reached the first floor, she first walked to the side of the dining room and turned on the chandelier above the dining room. The bright light instantly drove away the countless darkness, and also clearly reflected his somewhat miserable appearance in her eyes.

After turning on the Chandelier, she walked over and casually poured herself a glass of water. She casually asked, “are you in the rain? ”

“No, I forgot my umbrella in the car. I just walked over from the parking lot. ”

Qiao man slowly nodded after she heard that. She responded with a Faint “oh” .

After she said that, the two of them fell silent. One of them drank the water while the other continued eating.

After she finished drinking the water in her glass, she put the glass back on the table and said lightly, “then you can eat slowly. I’m going to sleep first. ”

Ji Yunshen’s eyebrows moved slightly. After a few seconds, he patted the dining chair next to him and said, “sit here and have a meal with me. ”

She said that she was woken up by a nightmare, but in fact, most of the reason must have been caused by the sound of his car engine.

Qiao man did not refuse. She nodded and sat over.

A man could eat fast. In addition, he had received special forces training. An ordinary person might need twenty minutes to finish eating, but he only needed ten minutes.

Qiao man leaned over and propped herself on one elbow on the dining table. She tilted her head and looked at his fast but elegant eating style.

It was not until he finished eating that she asked, “Ji Yunshen, are you sad? ”

Ji Yunshen, aren’t you tired?

Ji Yunshen, are you sad?

Ji Yunshen, do you love me?

She had asked him many questions, and most of the questions she asked were very calm, as if she was just discussing with him about the fine weather today, but in fact, it was very touching.

Sometimes, he even felt that his heart had contracted to the limit. It was just a few casual words, but they carried a weight of a thousand pounds.

After Ji Yunshen finished the last mouthful of food in his bowl, he took a cloth to wipe his lips and hands, then slowly glanced at her. “I’m not sad. ”

A hint of disbelief appeared on Qiao Man’s lazy face, but she quickly recovered her mild emotions. “More than ten years of wrongdoings… ”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Yunshen interrupted her. “More than ten years of wrongdoings have now become an experience in my life. That’s all. ”

What he meant was that the wrongdoings that he and his family had done to Ji Han for more than ten years could only become an experience in his life. He and Ji Han no longer had any feelings for each other, and there was no way to talk about feelings.

“Of course, one slap won’t make a difference. I’m also at fault. ”

His words were very honest. If it was a mistake to value feelings, then it was a mistake to him. Especially since he was born into a military and political family, it was a huge mistake.

Qiao man sat beside him at this time. She did not want to blame him, nor did she want to ridicule him. She just wanted to analyze his psychological activities from the perspective of a bystander, or even an outsider.

Or to be more precise, she wanted to know how he had turned this pain into a powerful spiritual power.

She did not believe it. She did not believe that the mistakes that she had made for more than ten years were just a brush brush by him. She could turn around and forget it completely.

She did not believe it. She really did not believe it.

“What exactly do you want to know? ” I feel that if you ask me directly, it might be more indirect than the current roundabout way. It would be able to get the answer you want faster. Of course, if you do not mind wasting time with me in the slightly cold living room, I do not mind either… … ..

He did not mind. She did mind because she was really cold.

“okay, I really don’t like beating around the Bush. ”

Because she wanted to take care of his emotions, she wanted to beat around the bush to minimize the damage, but she didn’t expect him to take the initiative to seek abuse.

Could it be that this was a method of fighting poison with poison?

She withdrew her leaning posture, then reached out to brush her shoulder’s long hair. Just as she was about to speak, he suddenly approached her.

The warm breath of a strong man sprayed around her ear. Her petite body seemed to have an electric current that slowly overflowed from her heart, making her body, which had no reaction at all, tremble She could not help but tremble slightly.

“Man Man, do you know why you’re not suitable to beat around the Bush… ”

Qiao man had already prepared a bellyful of words, but when Ji Yunshen called her name, it was easily interrupted. She frowned and then heard the man say in a gentle tone, “because the more you beat around the Bush, the more you… feel guilty. ”

“It’s like you can’t bear to leave me… Sad. ”

Five years later, when they met again, she really felt that he was even more narcissistic than before.

“Ji Yunshen, do you still remember the contents of our conversation when the news was first leaked this morning? ”

Qiao man did not dodge or hide. She just allowed Ji Yunshen’s ears and neck to create an ambiguous atmosphere.

Ji Yunshen nodded slightly when he heard that. His eyes that were as deep as the night were filled with her reflection. She looked at him for two seconds before she turned her gaze away in a panic. In terms of shamelessness, she was far from being Ji Yunshen’s opponent She would not be stupid enough to choose to provoke him.

“Well, you said that you were thinking whether you want to ruthlessly sprinkle salt on my wounds or let me off for the time being. ”

She did not expect that he would repeat every word she said in the morning.

When it reached her ears, she actually felt an incredible emotion. However, it was so fast that no one noticed it.

Or rather… … She hid it very well …

“The answer I gave you this morning was that I didn’t think it through… ”

The corners of her lips curled into a faint smile. She blinked her eyes at him and slowly said with a low laugh, “but… I’ve thought it through now. I can give you the answer now. ”

“What? ”

Ji Yunshen stood up and handed her a glass of water. Then, he poured himself another glass, as if he was listening attentively to what she was going to say next.

Qiao man frowned slightly, and her frown deepened. “The answer is… I choose to sprinkle salt on your wound. ”

The man was not surprised by her answer. He smiled faintly and said, “okay. ”

He looked like a sheep that was waiting to be slaughtered by her. Even if she said that she was going to kill him in the next second, he would probably wash the knife properly and then move his neck closer to her.

As the saying goes, being cheap.

Men might always like to cherish it after losing it, but there was a big difference between women and men on this issue.

When a woman could be loved, she would use all her strength to love, even if it was just a moth flying into the fire, even if she would be completely disheartened in the end.

“Ji Yunshen, what’s your reaction now? ”

Ji Yunshen’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he moved closer to her. The sensing lights in the surroundings had all been extinguished, and only the dim light and shadows of the garden landscape reflected in the French windows could barely illuminate the silhouettes of the two.

Darkness would not only aggravate one’s senses, but even one’s hearing would be much more sensitive than usual.

Just like the scorching breath that he sprayed over and the body temperature that kept coming closer, she was almost completely surrounded. Even if she wanted to escape, she could not.

“Man man, did you know? Your ability to say what you mean is much better than my shamelessness. ”

If she really wanted to rub salt on his wound, the best thing she could do was to mock and ridicule him. She could change her ways to make him exhausted, or she could take Tian Tian away from him, or she could just let him leave alone.

At this moment, his certainty and confidence were completely different from when they talked on the phone in the morning.

Although Qiao man could not see his face and expression clearly in the dark, judging from his tone of voice and his increasingly excessive behavior, he did not believe that she could purely and completely hate and blame him She could create other things to make things difficult for him.

She was slowly changing, and he was also slowly changing as she changed.

“Ji Yunshen, you’re sick. ”

“mm-hmm. ”

Qiao man frowned because of his warm breath and the hot hand placed on her waist. She quickly reached out and pushed the man’s strong chest “Ji Yunshen, I think you’re really sick. Don’t go to work tomorrow. Let’s go take a look at your brain first. ”

After saying that, she left the restaurant angrily and quickly went upstairs.

The dim sensor light emitted orange light again as the woman ran away in a panic.

The man’s deep eyes stared at the woman’s retreating figure. She was wearing a sling nightgown, and the clothes she was wearing had just been ripped off by him. Obviously, she was too busy being angry to put the clothes back on her shoulders Just like that, his deep eyes were not only focused on her soft back, but also her round and fair shoulders, as well as the pair of straight and pink legs under the nightgown.

When she completely disappeared from his sight, he reached out for the phone on the dining table and dialed a number.

Fu Qingshan finished his take-out and immediately immersed himself in the complicated military conference. The conference had just started one-third when his phone on the table vibrated. He didn’t want to pick it up at first But it was clear that everyone at the conference table wanted to take this opportunity to rest for a few minutes.

He frowned and waved his hand. “The conference will be suspended for now. Take a ten-minute break. ”

When the people sitting at the conference table heard Fu Qingshan’s words, they quickly turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. In just a few seconds, only Fu Qingshan, who was sitting in the main seat, was left in the conference room.

He glanced at the cell phone number that had just hung up automatically and dialed again. His slender fingers tapped lazily on the conference table a few times as if he was thinking about something.

After a few seconds, he slid down the answer button and said slowly, “the Yun family’s influence in the capital is deeply intertwined. It’s impossible to spread all the dirt within a few hours. However, I’ve already used all my connections to deal with this matter… ”

“It’s not about this matter. Old Fu, send a few more people to keep an eye on Wen Jiaming. Although he and Lu Yubai are colluding for benefits, they are the only ones who can help each other when they are in trouble. I don’t want Lu Yubai to get involved, and I also don’t want Wen Jiaming to get involved… “. “… ”

Ji Yunshen paused for a moment, then said slowly and in a very teasing tone, “Oh, how could I forget? You’re different from me now. You might become Wen Jiaming’s new son-in-law… ”

How could Fu Qingshan listen to his sarcastic words and tease him? “Is there anything else? ”

Ji Yunshen raised his eyebrows. “You’re angry now… ”

Fu Qingshan didn’t listen to any more nonsense and directly cut off the phone communication.

He leaned forward a little tiredly, his elbows propped on the conference table, and his broad hands supported his forehead, as if he was a little tired.

The results of Wen Xi’s DNA report would be out tomorrow. If the truth was really as Wen Nuan said, he might have to face another bloody storm, and these were not the most important things. The most important time was Lin Yan.

He did not care about anything right now, only about her.

Ji Yunshen listened to the blind tone coming from the phone receiver, and his beautiful eyebrows raised even higher.

Who told him to say that good brothers share blessings and difficulties together.

He was in a terrible state, and Fu should have accompanied him.

His whole body was wet from the rain, and it did not feel good to stick to his body. Ji Yunshen stood up from the dining chair, took his phone and went upstairs. His mood was not as heavy as before.

After Qiao man ran upstairs, she locked the bedroom door.

Ji Yunshen went upstairs and twisted the handle a few times, but he did not push the door open. In the end, he began to call Qiao Man’s name. “Man man, open the door. ”

Qiao man could not fall asleep. She was sitting on the bed and playing with her tablet. When she heard Ji Yunshen’s voice, she shouted towards the door, “you sleep in the second bedroom tonight. ”

Ji Yunshen heard a woman’s voice coming from inside the door. He knocked on the door harder and then repeated, “man man, open the door. ”

Qiao man’s exquisite and beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted. She lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She said calmly, “Ji Yunshen, you sleep in the second bedroom tonight. ”

“Man man, if you don’t want me to wake Tian Tian and Xin Qiao Up, you’d better open the door for me now. ”

“No. ”

Then, his response was to knock on the door without any control, as if he was deliberately trying to wake up everyone in the apartment.

Qiao man frowned. “Ji Yunshen, I don’t want to argue with you in the middle of the night. Go and sleep in the second bedroom. ”

The man did not argue with her anymore. Instead, he continued to knock on the door in response to her words.

It was not until Tian Tian and Xin Qiao came out of the children’s room with a small yellow duck doll in each of their arms that Ji Yunshen stopped knocking on the door.

Tian Tian walked in front and asked Ji Yunshen in a soft voice, “Daddi, are you arguing with mummy? Why are you locked out? ”
