It was already late at night. The darkened sky, mixed with the garden lights and the orange lights from the tall street lamps, reflected their figures on the grass and dragged them long.

The tall man and the slender woman stood face to face. Their eyes met. She could clearly see a lot of emotions in his eyes, so much so that she was a little jealous.

But she knew that none of those emotions were about her.

In this world, the only person who could make him treat her like this was probably warmth.

Was it because she had just mentioned warmth’s name that he would reveal such complicated and inexplicable emotions?

She knew it clearly, but she could only pretend not to know.

Lin Nancheng put his hands into the pockets of his suit pants. His deep, sea-like eyes stared at her for a while before he slowly said, “Song Guo, you seem to think that you know me very well? ”

Song Guo gradually lowered her head under his deep and endless gaze. “I’m sorry. If what I said makes you feel uncomfortable, I apologize to you. ”

She reached out and tucked her long hair behind her ear. Her voice gradually drifted in the night wind “But I didn’t mean to guess your thoughts. Everyone in Lin city knows that you once loved warmth deeply. You chose the most difficult path for her, and you were forced to give up your flourishing career and even went to prison… ”

“Of course, I also understand that the word ‘love deeply’ isn’t something that can be shaken by a random person. ”

As she said this, she raised her head slightly. Her eyes, which were full of starlight, were filled with watery light. “At least… I don’t have the ability. ”

Lin Nancheng suddenly laughed in a low voice. There was a hint of mockery between his brows “Song Guo, if I remember correctly, you knew from the very beginning that I had someone in my heart. Since you knew, you shouldn’t have provoked me. Now that you’ve provoked me, you should bear the consequences of provoking me instead of running away after flirting with me. ”

“Or… do you think I’m an emotionless Casanova? That I can freely shuttle between feelings? No matter what you say or do, I won’t feel anything. I won’t even feel heartache, right? ”

Song Guo didn’t say anything. She did think that she didn’t have that much influence on him, but now that she said it out loud, there would definitely be an endless argument. She didn’t want to make herself look like a mess, especially in front of his family.

Perhaps, when a woman faced a man who was much better than her, the most common way to protect herself was to become a hedgehog.

She hurt others, but at the same time, she also hurt herself.

“Song Guo, you’re really heartless. I shouldn’t have any expectations for you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved closer to her. The faint smell of tobacco invaded her body and instantly occupied all of her senses. She couldn’t help but cower.

“Song Guo… ”

His deep and magnetic voice slowly sounded in her ears. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she instinctively retreated. However, his iron arms directly hugged her to her chest. “Why don’t you tell me what you really want? HMM? ”

If a woman really liked something, she would probably throw her life away.

However, she was full of problems. Even though she clearly liked something, she tried her best to suppress it. This kind of reaction might have something to do with the environment she grew up in. He understood, but he would not allow it.

Not even a little bit.

His woman could only fight alongside him instead of running away at the last minute.

“Let go of me first. ”

Song Guo took a look at the house behind her. Although the old house was already brightly lit at night, the position they were standing at was the most eye-catching part of the old house. As long as someone looked out of the window, they would undoubtedly become the object of admiration This feeling of being spied on terrified her.

Lin Nancheng lowered his body a little, his handsome face approaching her delicate and beautiful facial features “What are you afraid of? You’re even pregnant with my child. Hugging and kissing is the most basic form of intimacy. If others see it, they will only think that it’s our way of flirting. ”

His voice became a little deeper, making her shocked and scared. “Lin Nancheng, are you crazy? I don’t understand what you’re saying. Let me go. ”

“You don’t want to admit it? ”

Lin Nancheng smiled. “Song Guo, you’d better tell me everything you’re hiding from me now. Otherwise, when I find out myself… I won’t be as Nice as I am now. I think you know what I mean. ”

Song Guo continued to struggle. Her small hands kept pounding on his hard chest. “Lin Nancheng, what are you talking about? I’m not pregnant. ”

He narrowed his eyes and asked again, “not pregnant? ”

Song Guo nodded reluctantly. “No, let go of me. ”

“Then why did you go to the obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the hospital? Don’t tell me you went for a check-up. ”

Lin Nancheng’s aggressive attitude made Song Guo’s eyes turn red “I. . . “My uterus is very cold. When I was in my period, I often had excruciating pain. My friend happened to be a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department, and I happened to be in the country, so he asked me to go for a check-up and prescribe Chinese medicine for me so that I could reduce the pain during my period. That’s all. Don’t think too much about it. ”

“really? ”

“since you don’t believe me, you can go and check it out. ”

Song Guo struggled for a long time and was so tired that she was panting. She simply stopped struggling. “So now, can you let go of me? ”

Lin Nancheng glanced at her deeply again before releasing his long arms that were wrapped around her waist. He then said, “stay here tonight. ”

“Lin Nancheng, how many times do I have to say it before you can understand me? I don’t want to be with you anymore, and I don’t want to marry you anymore. Can I trouble you to make way? ”

“No. ”

He stood still only a few centimeters away from her. When he spoke, it was as if he wanted to kiss her intentionally or unintentionally, causing her to hide left and right. He completely lost the momentum of wanting to break up. “Lin Nancheng, what do you want? ”

He did not say anything, but continued to stroke the side of her face ambiguously.

“If you think that you have never been dumped by a woman before and that being dumped now hurts a man’s pride, you can also say that you dumped me. I don’t care. ”

“So… I braved the summer heat just to discuss with you who dumped who. Won’t it embarrass who more? ”

If he had stopped her because of this, then she really couldn’t figure out why he was doing this.

Song Guo took a deep breath and didn’t say anything else. Perhaps she didn’t know what to say and could only continue like this.

Lin Nancheng saw her helpless and speechless expression and smiled softly. Then, he reached out his big hand and held her little hand. “Don’t always be particular about whether you’re compatible or not. If I say you’re compatible, you’re compatible. ”

“Besides, I’m not some rich and noble young master now. I’m completely down and out. The woman who still has the courage to be with me at this time definitely isn’t after money. They understand this principle, and… … They’re saying that to test you. You’re also considered born in a rich and noble family. How come you don’t have such foresight ? Take everything seriously.”

He reached out and scratched her small and delicate nose. His voice was gentle “Also, how many times do you want to fight with me because of your identity “If I had another woman, you could just make things difficult for me like this. Now that I don’t have a woman by my side, and I’m willing to marry you, I’ll do whatever you want. Why are you torturing me like this “Do you want to see how much I care about you? ”

“I don’t. ”

She quickly lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

“You don’t? ”

“No. ”

“You really don’t? ”

“…”

“I’ve been with Wen Nuan for many years. It’s hard to suddenly forget her, but I’m slowly working hard. Moreover, with you and Xin Qiao, my heart is only that big. I can’t let go of so many people. You just need to remember that the person I’m with now is you, and I care about you. ”

Song Guo lowered her eyes and did not say a word. From his angle, it was almost impossible to see the expression and emotions on her face.

He sighed and held her sharp Chin with his fingers. “I’m being so honest, can’t I get your confidence back? How Much Do you love me? Don’t you even have the confidence to tie a man down? ”

“I don’t. ”

She denied it urgently, but the more she denied it, the more comfortable he felt.

“learn more from Qiao man and Yan ‘er. They have all kinds of methods to deal with men, and they can even make a man willingly hand over all his assets. What about you? You only know how to hide and hide. This way, you can’t tie a man down, and will only push him further and further away. ”

Song Guo knew that what he said was very true, but how could she be compared to Qiao man and Lin Yan?

Their elegance and confidence were hidden deep in their bones. It was a relationship that was evenly matched with Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan. There were no weaknesses. Even if there were weaknesses, they still had beauty that no one could compare to, but she was full of weaknesses When she stood with Lin Nancheng, it seemed that she could only stand on her tiptoes and look up at him.

“A woman with ability and ambition will usually make a man love her to death. You have to believe that you have the ability, and of course, you also have to have the ambition. ”

His words completely stunned her. After a long while, she finally asked, “Lin Nancheng, there are a lot of women like me in Lin city who are willing to come up to a rich family’s daughter. There are also many ladies from noble families. I can understand that you want to try with me to see if you can fall in love with me. ”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “or rather, it’s best if you fall in love with me. If you can’t fall in love with me, at least in the eyes of outsiders, you’ll have a perfect family. You won’t be left with the image of a lonely and miserable man after you’ve lost your love, right? ”

“Song Guo, it’s a pity that you don’t want to learn fortune-telling. ”

“Lin Nancheng, make it clear. You can’t just tempt me to love you wholeheartedly, but you won’t tell me anything. That would be meaningless. ”

Lin Nancheng smiled and planted a kiss on the corner of her lips. “You know that I’m tempting you, so why don’t you tempt me instead? For example… seduction. ”

“Can you answer the question properly? ”

“I’ve already answered your question very seriously. How do you want me to answer it? Do you want me to teach you how to… Seduce? ”

She frowned. Her face was full of anger, but she did not show it in the slightest. “How do I know if you’ll fall for this? ”

“The whole world can see that you like me. No Man will refuse to desperately love his woman, and I’m no exception. ”

“So, you’re saying that if another Song Guo appears, you’ll give her a chance? ”

Song Guo’s words successfully made Lin Nancheng laugh “Song Guo, you’re digging your own grave. Let’s not talk about whether this hypothesis exists or not. If it does, you’ll stand in front of me. The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. There’s no reason for you to give this opportunity to others and let them become the winners in life, right? ”

“In the end, you’re always talking about him and not telling the truth. ”

She turned around and ignored him.

He chased after her and hugged her tightly with his iron arms. “I’m telling the truth. You’re very special to me. I want to give it a try with you and try to fall in love with you. ”

Song Guo pursed her lips and did not say anything.

“I’ve already lowered my stance so much. Are you still not satisfied? ”

She still ignored him as if she was considering it. He moved closer and said ambiguously, “do I have to kneel down and beg you before you agree to my pursuit? ”

“Your pursuit is just words. I don’t see any sincerity. ”

“I can show infinite sincerity on the bed. ”

Song Guo’s face, which was already red, instantly turned red. She frowned in anger and pushed the man in front of her. “Can’t you be more serious? ”

“You like serious pursuits? ”

“Why does it sound so different when it comes out of your mouth? ”

Song Guo could not struggle free. She could only follow his strength and snuggle in his broad embrace. “Lin Nancheng, will you treat me well? ”

“Yes. ”

“after we get married, if you find that you can’t fall in love with me, you must tell me. I won’t try my best to Pester you, but you must tell me that we will part on good terms. ”

When she said the words ‘part on good terms’ , there was always a hint of calmness in her words. This made him very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

He could even imagine her back as she turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.

“there won’t be such a day. ”

“I mean if, if there is such a day, you must tell me. Don’t secretly like someone behind my back, but I’m the last to know! ”

Lin Nancheng tightened his arms around her and said softly, “there won’t be such a day. ”

There won’t be such a day?

Could it be that he could no longer fall in love with someone else Or… … It didn’t matter who the woman he married was, he just needed a marriage to deal with his family …

If he could feel happiness, that would be the best.

If he couldn’t, he could also treat the woman he married as a guest for the rest of his life.

Heart as still as water, that was probably what he meant!



One week later.

There were two more days until Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan’s remarriage ceremony. The News had already been announced, and it instantly caused an entertainment storm. The public opinion was no less than that of any popular celebrity.

Lin Yan did not care much about the rumors in the outside world. It was probably because she had experienced too much, and everything had become her elegant backside. She was no longer afraid of any storm, and even when faced with those rumors.. She could still talk and laugh.

In the afternoon, Lin Nancheng drove Song Guo and Xin Qiao over to chat and laugh with her. They didn’t leave until it was late at night.

After they left, the huge Green Mountain Villa seemed even more deserted and quiet.

She felt a little bored in her room, so she followed the artificial river down the slope. She didn’t stop until the city lights at the foot of the mountain reflected in her eyes and became a touch of color in her eyes. Then she looked down to the far end of the mountain.

Looking down from the Green Mountain Villa, she seemed to be able to see the building of the Shengshi group. But Fu Qingshan had told her that in fact, looking down from the Green Mountain Villa, she couldn’t see the building of the Shengshi Group. She always thought so She thought that what she thought was what she really saw, but in fact, it wasn’t.

However, it didn’t matter whether it was true or not. Every touch of color at the foot of the mountain was attractive enough to make people linger in it, unable to extricate themselves.

After she stood there in a daze for a long time, she suddenly heard the sound of steady footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw a tall man walking toward her with a pair of vigorous and powerful long legs, against the light and shadow.

The night wind was a little strong, blowing up her seaweed-like hair, dancing wildly in the air.

After the man walked in, he naturally reached out and tucked the long hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear. Then, he opened the collar of his suit and wrapped her whole body inside “Aunt Zhu said that you’ve been standing here for a long time. You’re almost seven months pregnant, and it’s easy for you to catch a cold in the wind. Come in with me, HMM? ”

She didn’t say anything, but called his name in a low voice. “Fu Qingshan… ”

“Hmm? ”

“I’m going to be a child without a home in the future. In fact, from the day I married you, or rather, from the day I fell in love with you, the day I fell in love with you, there was no home. ”

Fu Qingshan tightened his arms around her. After a few seconds, he said slowly, “after the remarriage, our family of four will be very happy. I will always be there. Don’t be afraid, EH? ”

She nodded and placed most of her weight on him “Yes, I’m just a little emotional. After what happened to me that year, my family and myself felt that I might not be able to marry. Whether it’s psychologically or physically, there are obstacles. Marrying out will only drag others down and will not create happiness for myself and others. ”

“Of course, I’ve also thought about not getting married in my life and waiting for that awkward loneliness to last until I die. Also… many times, I thought that I was living to not disappoint the people who love me. That’s all. ”

Her voice was soft and gentle, drifting in the wind bit by bit. However, it seemed to carry endless power and pierced through his heart in an instant.

He kissed the side of her face and kissed her ear. He said in a low voice, “Yan ‘er, it’s all in the past. Don’t think about it anymore, HMM? ”

“Okay. ”

Lin Yan smiled, turned around, and went straight into his wide embrace. “Fu Qingshan, I’m a little sleepy. CARRY ME BACK TO SLEEP! ”

“Okay! ”

After the man heard that, he bent down and carried her.

She was already seven months pregnant, but it was as light as a feather and almost weightless.

Every time he hugged her, he could not help but frown because she was really too light.

“I’ve been busy preparing for the wedding these few days. Did you not eat properly behind my back again? ”

A man’s deep voice sounded above her head. She shook her head and said, “no, I ate properly every day. ”

“Can you not eat cat food all the time in the future? After you got pregnant, your belly became bigger. You didn’t gain weight anywhere else, so you don’t look like a pregnant woman at all. So, you don’t need to control your weight, understand? ”

“I understand. ”

She nodded obediently and closed her eyes.

The night breeze was very comfortable. It brushed past his cheeks and lifted a few strands of hair that slid past the side of his face.

That fragrance made his body stiffen uncontrollably.

He seemed to have no resistance against this woman.

Or Rather, he did not want to resist her at all.



After a night without dreams, when Lin Yan opened her eyes again, there was no longer that tall man’s figure beside her. Only the creases on the bedsheets reminded her that he had come back last night.

Yes, for the past half a month, he had almost always left early and returned late.

He had left the house before dawn and only returned at dawn. She was either asleep or waiting for him to fall asleep.

Last night, it might have been aunt Zhu who called to remind him that she was very depressed. That was why he took time out of his busy schedule to balance her emotions. Then, he started working day and night again.

He had to rush out of the time for the wedding and the honeymoon. As the CEO of a public company, he really couldn’t be in two places at once.

Although she understood, she couldn’t help but complain.

In the early stages of pregnancy, he said that he would accompany her to experience the entire pregnancy. However, during this pregnancy, other than the busy time, it was also the time when the two of them had a Cold War and quarreled. The time that he really spent with her could be counted in detail.

Although she said that she didn’t care, she didn’t feel good in her heart.

It was probably the nature of women to say what they mean.

When she woke up, it was difficult for her to fall asleep again, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

About half an hour later, she finished the breakfast that Aunt Zhu had prepared. Just as she was about to go upstairs to read some books and watch some dramas, the landline in the living room rang.

Few people knew the landline number of the Green Mountain Villa. In the few years that she had lived here, the number of times it rang was less than five times. This time, she didn’t know who it would be.

With this thought in mind, she walked over to pick up the call.

After she said Hello, a soft and bright female voice came from the other side. Even though her memory of being pregnant was not good, she could clearly hear that it was a warm voice.

“Xiao Yan, I heard that you and Qingshan are going to get married again. ”

She used the tone of a statement, not a question.

Lin Yan held the phone tightly in her hand. Half a second later, she said with a smile, “Miss Wen wasted such a precious phone time in prison. Could it be that she just wants to ask me if I’m going to get married again to Fu Qingshan? ”

“We’ve known each other for so many years. It’s not hard to understand why we’re catching up and caring for you, right? ”

She asked her questions, and she answered them with questions.

This kind of feeling was really unpleasant.

“Okay, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. After all, I have nothing to say to you, and there’s nothing to catch up on… ”

As she said this, she was about to cut off the phone communication, but she was interrupted again by a female voice on the other end. “Xiao Yan, you’re so smart. You should know why I’m calling you, right? ”

“Why don’t I think I’M SMART? ”

She smiled and said in a low voice, “Miss Wen, if you have something to say, just say it. I don’t like to beat around the Bush, and I don’t like to beat around the Bush. ”

“Sure! ”

Wen Nuan also smiled and said in a gentle voice, “Xiao Yan, do you know who did that thing to you back then? ”

Did that thing?

The answer that she had always wanted to know. Did she know?

At this moment, she felt her hands and feet turn cold, and all her blood was flowing in the opposite direction.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you want to know? ”

The warm voice was still as gentle as water, but every word was like an awl, mercilessly piercing into one’s flesh and blood.
