"I'll return home tomorrow. No matter the cost, I must find him, I must find her, and then bring her to see father!" Nan Gong Qi pinched the picture into a ball and said angrily.
"En!" Yi answered flatly, then drained the glass of red wine in one gulp.
However, just as they were about to return, they heard a mournful cry of a woman.
They all looked towards the direction of the cry, only to see …
A woman wearing a wedding dress sat on the ground in a sorry state, crying without caring about her image. Her crying voice was filled with sadness, and it even contained grief and despair.
If a woman wearing a wedding dress cried like this, could it be that she was abandoned by the groom?
NanGong Qi furrowed his brows, then looked carefully at the woman, only to see that her forehead was wrapped in gauze, and there were still some bloodstains on the snow-white wedding dress …
What had happened? Why was she crying so miserably? Why was she in such a sorry state?
He didn't know why, but when he saw her like this, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. Even though he, the Southern Palace's Qi, was soft-hearted, he would never have this kind of feeling toward an unfamiliar woman.
"Yi, let's go over and take a look?" NanGong Qi said.
Yi looked coldly at the woman squatting on the dock. Without saying anything, he turned around and entered the cabin!
What he did not know was that his world had undergone a tremendous change because of this woman.
Ming Xi sat on the ground, her hands pulling at the floor. Her hair, which had originally been orderly and orderly, had been torn into disarray.
"Woo woo …" Ming Xi lowered her head, hiding in her sorrow, unwilling to come out.
"On the day of marriage, girls are not allowed to cry!"
Just as Ming Xi was feeling so much grief that she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard a pleasant male voice.
Ming Xi looked up in fright. The first thing she saw was a pair of black men's shoes. Just from the shine of the shoes, she knew that they were worth a lot.
Her heart chattered as she kept trying to guess who it was. She had no relatives in the Maldives, and it was so late. Who would come and talk to her? With a face full of doubt, Ming Xi slowly raised her head.
When Ming Xi saw the man's smile, she was shocked. Was he the one who had accidentally dirtied her clothes in the coffee shop the other day?
Ming Xi's eyes widened in shock, but when she caught sight of the man standing beside him, she immediately jumped up from the ground in fright.
Ming Xi shivered when she saw the ice-cold look in his eyes, then she kept backing away. Eyes filled with tears, written with fear, and shiny tears rolled down one by one.
However, when he saw that she was clearly afraid of him yet was filled with a cute look, he smirked and said, "Hello, I'm called Nan Gong Qi and he's my good friend. His name is Xuanyuan Yi, you can just call him Yi!"
Ming Xi didn't understand why the man who called himself Nangong Gong would suddenly introduce himself. However, thinking back to what happened in the coffee shop, the fear in her heart lessened. She gave a polite nod to NanGong Qi and then to Xuanyuan Yi, "My name is Han Qingxi!"
However, Yi was staring at him with an extremely cold gaze. Behind that cold gaze, there was also a little bit of caution and disdain.
NanGong Qi carefully sized up Chu Xi. When he saw her appearance, he always felt that she was somewhat like a person, but he couldn't recall just who she looked like!
He smiled when he saw the laurel crown hanging from Ming Xi's messy hair. Then he took a few steps forward, but Tantai was startled by his actions. She wanted to take a few steps back, but found that she had already retreated to the fence, unable to back out at all.
"Girls should be beautiful as brides, why are you in such a sorry state?" NanGong Qi's tone was gentle. He helped her put the crown back on, then smoothed her messy hair before giving her a gentle smile.
However, looking at her clothes, she should be worth quite a sum of money. Presumably, she should be a daughter of some rich family. Even if she wasn't, she should at least have married a very rich and prestigious person.
Ming Xi shuddered. She had never known that a man's smile could actually make one's heart so comfortable. She forced a smile at him. "Thank you!"
NanGong Qi smiled, then said: "Remember, when a girl gets married, she must laugh, and must not cry!"
Ming Xi's heart slightly sank. She lowered her head apologetically and said, "Today isn't the day for me to get married. I'm already married!"
The Southern Palace disciples smiled, thinking that this woman in front of them was far too interesting. Since she was already married, why did she still need to wear a wedding dress? And she came to the port at night to cry. Interesting!
As he looked at the woman in front of him, he felt a sense of familiarity, "It's getting late, you should hurry back. Don't let your family worry about you!"
Upon hearing about her family, Ming Xi's eyes suddenly turned red again. She lowered her head and suddenly fell silent.
Upon seeing this, NanGong Qi panicked. He didn't know what he had said wrong. He raised his hand in an attempt to comfort her, but he didn't know where he should place his hand.
"In this world, no one will ever worry about me. I have no family!" Tears rolled down Ming Xi's cheeks.
Seeing Ming Xi had left, Nan Gong Qi's heart ached, and he hastily comforted her: "What about your husband? If you don't go back now, he'll be very worried about you! "
Ming Xi pursed her lips to the side as she shook her head vigorously. She then used her hand to wipe her tears, choked with emotions, and said in an aggrieved manner, "He didn't want me, he didn't love me, so he wouldn't worry about me. Even if I died outside, he wouldn't worry about me at all! I don't have a home... I've never had a home … "
Hearing Ming Xi's words, his heart ached. He looked at Ming Xi who had been abandoned by everyone. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He could only look at her sadly.
After a long silence, Yi said, "Nangong, we should go back and prepare. We still need to return home tomorrow!"
"I'm sorry!" It was only after Yi Yi told her about it that Ming Xi realized she had delayed NanGong Qi's time, so she said apologetically, "Sorry for wasting your time!"
NanGong Qi laughed nonchalantly, then said: "Since you didn't go anywhere, how about you come back with me if you trust me?" Chapter 160 - One Brother More
Ming Xi was stunned for a moment before she shook her head hastily, "No need, thank you! I have to go back, or — "Her life will not be so good!
Seeing how difficult it was for Tantai Xi, NanGong Qi didn't press on and just smiled, "Since that's the case, let me send you back. "Where do you live?"
Ming Xi raised her head and inadvertently glanced at Xuanyuan Yi who was standing at the side like an ice sculpture. She hurriedly said timidly, "No need, thank you! I can go back myself! "
After he finished speaking, Ming Xi bowed towards the Southern Palace disciples and said his farewells. Then, without even raising his head, he turned around and ran away.
Looking at Ming Xi's somewhat flustered back, Nangong Wuqi couldn't help sighing, "I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see her again!"
Standing at the side, Yi Yi stood there and coldly glanced in the direction that Tantai had left, his eyes exuding a cold and disdainful light. "There's no need to wait, we'll see it soon!"
NanGong Qi wrinkled his brows and looked at Yi with a puzzled expression. He didn't know why he would suddenly say this.
You'll see it soon? 'Could it be that her identity is very special? '
"Yi, you …" He wanted to ask Yi, but before he could finish, he gestured with his chin for him to look to the side.
NanGong Qi turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction that Lu Xi had just left, only to see —
Ming Xi lowered her head like a headless fly and ran towards him.
"Miss Han, may I ask what —?" NanGong Qi asked in confusion, wondering why she had suddenly turned back in the middle of the road.
Yi Yi stared coldly at Liu Xi, then said with a somewhat mocking tone: "Do you still need to ask? Of course it's because I can't find the way back that I turned back! "
Hearing Yi Yi's words, Ming Xi bit her lips as her face turned red.
He was right. She came back because she couldn't find her way back to the hotel.
NanGong Qi froze for a moment, then looked at Tantai Xi. Seeing her act as if she had done something huge wrong, he smiled and said, "Give me the address, and I'll send you back!"
Ming Xi raised his head in embarrassment and smiled embarrassedly at Nangong Zi, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble!"
NanGong Qi smiled and then pulled her along before walking away. Along the way, he asked about the name of the hotel as well as the things related to her …
Half an hour later …
NanGong Qi escorted Ta Xi to the door of the hotel and said, "Mingxi, you should be right this time, right?"
Looking at the familiar hotel entrance, Ming Xi was extremely excited. She had finally found it.
She turned to the Southern Palace and thanked them profusely, "Thank you, Mr. Nan! This time, it's really right! "
Hearing Ming Xi call him, Nan Gong Qi frowned, "Ming Xi, don't call me Mister Nan! It's very awkward! "
Mr. Nan?! Heh! Those who didn't know the truth would think that it was' Mr. Men '!
Ming Xi blinked before asking, "Then what should I call you?"
NanGong Qi smiled and said in a very gentle tone, "You're the same age as my missing sister, you might as well call me brother!" Anyway, he had a good impression of her and felt very close to her!
Ming Xi's body stiffened as she stared at him in astonishment.
NanGong Qi grinned, raising his hand to caress her forehead, but a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes, "If my sister hadn't been stolen, maybe she would have been as tall as you, maybe she would have stuck behind me every day." Seeing the sad look on his face, Ming Xi's heart trembled.
"I wonder how she is doing now. I wonder if anyone will bully her. I wonder if there will be anywhere to shelter from the rain …" NanGong Qi said sorrowfully.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely find her. "With such a kind heart, your sister will definitely be very happy and happy!" Better than her, at least.
"I hope so! "Alright, Ming Xi, you should hurry up and enter!" NanGong Qi forced a smile at Ming Xi, then signaled Yi who had been silently following behind him to leave.
Looking at the lonely backs of the Southern Palace disciples, Ming Xi couldn't help but feel envious in her heart. If there was someone in this world who was so concerned about her, she would never ask for anything else in her life.
"Big brother! Take care, I'm back home, I'll come find you! " Ming Xi raised her hand to her mouth and shouted at the back of the Southern Palace. What's wrong with having an extra brother? Even though they weren't blood related siblings, their relationship in the future might even be closer than blood related siblings. He was so nice to his sister...
NanGong Qi's entire body shuddered, he paused for a moment before turning around to give Tantai Xi a bright smile.
As for Tantai Xi, she was giggling at the Southern Palace members as well.
"Little sister, remember this well. Come to me as soon as you return!" NanGong Qi replied loudly.
Ming Xi was laughing as brilliantly as the sun. Her two eyes were like crescent moons in the sky, looking very pretty.
NanGong Qi smiled and turned around before quickly getting into the car. With a look of reluctance, he glanced at Ming Xi and signaled the driver to drive away. As she watched him leave, Ming Xi reluctantly turned around and prepared to enter the hotel!
Ming Xi's heart suddenly became heavy again as she looked at the hotel's glass door. She took a deep breath and strode in … And what was waiting for her? What was she about to face?
