Newlywed and old love, the president's secret bride

Chapter 171

Chapter 171 In the hotel suite on the banks of the Rhine, the woman stood by the huge French window, calling the number that never got through over and over again, the sun was pressing into the air from the window, and the light golden light fell on her brown hair, a bit bright Much like her pupil color.

The man was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the room by the accompanying servants, and he saw her immediately.

Frowns were placed on the clean and handsome brows, and the tone was slightly displeased, "Did you get up early, or did you stay up all night?"

Duan Zijin turned her head when she heard the words, holding the phone in her hand, "Are you awake?"

Tang Jichi quickly scanned the darkened screen of the phone, and pursed his lips, "I worry about you just as much as you worry about him."

She was tossing and turning next door, how could he sleep peacefully all night?

His words made Duan Zijin a little embarrassed, "President Tang..."

"You are no longer my employee." Tang Jichi said calmly, "There is no need to call me that."

It's just a title, why bother?What's more, he was the one who said six years ago that apart from the boss and his subordinates, there was no relationship between them.

Ashamed of him, Duan Zijin was silent for a moment, and said kindly: "Tang Jichi, can I go back?"

Tang Jichi squinted at her, "Yuyou, what did you promise me last night, don't you remember?"

Duan Zijin was speechless, the strength between his five fingers could almost embed the phone into the palm of his hand.

Last night, under his persuasion, she finally agreed to leave Jiang's house with him first, and go back to him after Jiang Lin returned safely.

None of them can guarantee whether something similar to being tricked into Meiyuan will happen again when Jiang Lin is not around.

The Jiang family's city is very deep, and even though she has not dealt with them much, she can faintly feel that the hearts of those people are not as pure as they appear on the surface.

In addition, at this moment, there is still a Leopold family watching.

When it was not clear that Nancy was Jiang Lin's fiancée, Duan Zijin could see the Jiang family's love and appreciation for Nancy.So after she learned the truth, she could understand the Jiang family's position better—she was a guest brought back by Jiang Lin, and they couldn't be against her publicly, but if the Leopold family attacked her again, let her Whatever "accident" happened, the Jiang family must have enjoyed it.

Jiang Shan said, Jiang Lin was taken away by Duke Leopold, but where and what did he do?

Thinking of him staying at Nancy's house and not returning overnight, her heart felt as if it had been eaten by countless ants.

But he was helpless.

At this time, her cell phone rang suddenly.

Duan Zijin glanced at the screen, and her eyes lit up instantly. She held up the phone and hurriedly swiped the answer button, but because she was too excited, her finger swiped empty on the screen several times.

Tang Jichi looked at her in a hurry, and his handsome eyebrows frowned again.

"Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin! Is that you?"

Duan Zijin turned around under his gaze, talking to the person on the phone with great joy, as if completely forgetting that there was someone behind him.

The servant's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but secretly glanced at his young master's expression. He saw that the man's always strong and calm face had passed through a faint and unmarked loneliness, but it was only a moment, and then he returned to normal.

Those pitch-black eyes were silently staring at the woman whose back was turned to him.Like a ray of moonlight that has been shining for thousands of years, it is cold and warm.

In contrast, the voice on the phone was very cold, "Where did you go?"

Duan Zijin was taken aback by Jiang Lin's question.

When she heard his voice, her worries and fears turned into grievances, "I... I didn't go far, I was in a hotel near your home."

"Hotel?" The man's voice over there turned cold several degrees, as sharp as a blade, "with whom?"

Duan Zijin seemed to be hit on the back of the head with a stick, and his mind went blank.

After a long time, the broken thoughts gradually condensed into one sentence: "What do you mean by asking me like this?"

She was sure that Jiang Lin must have known that she was with Tang Jichi to question her in such an indifferent but angry voice.

The man said nothing.Duan Zijin chuckled: "Jiang Lin, you asked where I am, so where were you last night?"

After confirming that he was fine, all the distress and sadness that she had left behind for the time being came flooding back, "You didn't even give me an explanation before you left, come and tell me that you are going out, I will stop you or Haunting you? If it wasn't for Jiang Shan who just came to find me, I wouldn't even know your whereabouts. Your phone has been turned off for a whole night. What happened this night? Do you know how worried I am? "

"Yuyou!" The man interrupted her with an urgent and heavy tone.

There was a rough panting sound from the phone receiver, Duan Zi frowned, but smiled again for a moment.

It seemed that he was really angry, otherwise how could he be panting so badly?

She understood his anger, but she couldn't accept that he was at fault first, and she couldn't help but lose his temper at her.

After waiting for a while, he still didn't speak, Duan Zijin spoke softly, without realizing that the bitterness in his voice was about to overflow: "Jiang Lin, you can leave me alone in Jiang's house quietly, can't I Leaving with friends?"

leave?Leaving with Tang Jichi?

The man's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was going to be crushed by something.

The first half of her words made his heart ache, but the second half of her words turned his heartache into flames, burning his nerves mercilessly.

He sternly said: "Duan Zijin, don't even think about going anywhere! Come right back!"

The woman's long silence answered him.

He could hear her breathing, but not a single word of hers.

Jiang Lin suddenly panicked, endured the sharp pain and hollowness in his chest, and hurriedly called her name, "Yuyou!" Even his voice became less indifferent because of his eagerness, "You come back first, we will come back for other things Besides, you come back first!"

Duan Zijin was still silently picking up his scattered heart, and waves of difficult sadness swept over him.

She tried her best to press them back, and said calmly: "Okay, I'll go back."

Go back and listen to how he explains it, whatever.

On the other side of the phone, Jiang Lin was about to say something when the bedroom door was suddenly opened.

Nancy saw the man standing there propped up against the glass window, wearing a spotless white shirt with the cuffs rolled up high, and only two buttons on his chest casually fastened, revealing his wheat-colored skin and lean, muscular muscles.

The appearance at this time is very different from his usual strict appearance, but it reveals a little wild and handsome.

It's just that the tall figure is slightly bent and hunched, and the eyebrows are even more tightly knit.

Thinking that he was unwell, Nancy hurriedly lifted her skirt, ran to him in a few steps, and asked with concern: "Lenn, why did you get up from the bed by yourself? You are standing here... are you on the phone?" At the end, she The cell phone clutched in his palm has been found.

The moment she finished speaking, she cast a displeased glance at the servant behind her.That look was clearly asking, who sent Mr. Lenn's cell phone up?

When he heard Nancy's voice, Jiang Lin was slightly taken aback.

The other end of the phone was so quiet that there was no sound of breathing.

Duan Zijin suffocated for a few seconds and closed his eyes heavily.

Although she couldn't understand what the woman was saying, she recognized the voice.

It's his fiancée.

What was picked up by Duke Leopold...

It was indeed a cover.

When Jiang Lin came back to his senses, the phone had already been cut off.

His eagle-like sharp black eyes stared at the woman next to him, his eyes were obviously very light, but they were so oppressive that he couldn't move.

Nancy looked back at him, blinked, and guessed who he was calling in an instant.

She smiled slightly, and cast her eyes slightly down, seeing the faint blue veins on the man's forearm that was exposed in the air.

Is he angry?

Did they... quarrel?

The man's haughty jaw was tense, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line. Sensing that he seemed to be planning to replay the number in the call log, Nancy frowned, pressed his hand, and snatched it from him unexpectedly. Cell phone, "lenn, this thing has radiation, it's not good for your health."

The man's eyes fell on her face, Cen Bo's lips parted, and there were only two words: "Give it to me."

His tone was very ordinary, but somehow she could hear some suppressed impatience and anger that were about to explode.

But Nancy smiled without changing her face, as if the crushing and cold gaze in front of her was nothing but a cloud of smoke to her.

"Lenn, you can't destroy yourself while receiving treatment." She put the phone in her pocket, "It doesn't make sense."

After finishing speaking, Nancy bowed to him, turned around and walked out the door, her emotions and anger were hidden from the sight of others, even if the sky fell, she was still elegant and dignified.

Jiang Lin wanted to catch up, but he was a little powerless.As soon as his palm was removed from the glass window, he helped it back because of his unsteady standing.

Nancy watched quietly, didn't step forward to help him, just before closing the door, smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will send you back to Jiang's house right away, and I won't make your little girlfriend wait too long."

The man's eyes flickered, and it has become a habit to make calculations and measurements on weekdays, but in this world, there are always two people that he can't see through.

One is his grandfather, the Duke of Willebrand.The other is the woman in front of me.

In their circle, Duke Leopold's eldest daughter is a well-known well-bred socialite, and even the object that all noble ladies strive to emulate.When he was a teenager, he was also attracted by her graceful and elegant appearance. He only thought that such a woman would only appear in a fairy tale, because there was no sign of rebellion in her character, and it would never appear in her body. The word "accident".

At that time, he thought it was just the self-cultivation of a socialite, just as he could control his emotions very well.But as he grew older, he felt more and more that she was not controlling her emotions, but had no emotions at all.

No sadness, no anger, no love, no hate, she is like an empty shell, more like a child who doesn't know the world.

"Nancy." Jiang Lin called her in a deep voice, "What I told you this morning..."

"I know." Nancy nodded softly, with a gentle smile on her lips, "But the dissolution of the engagement is not up to the two of us. Besides, I hope you can think about it more personally. Just a moment. Before you make up your mind to tell the elders about this matter, I will keep silent. Correspondingly, please save me a little face, at least stop talking to your little girlfriend in front of my father and family. Be too affectionate. In addition to showing that you have deep affection for her, it can also tell others that the eldest son of the Willebrand family may lack some...responsibility and education."

Jiang Lin's black eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze seemed to be sizing up and scrutinizing.

She was talking about what happened in Meiyuan last time, how could he not hear it?

Nancy's expression remained unchanged, and she was not afraid of his scrutiny. "The most important thing is that after you are impulsive for her, you are the one who gets hurt." As she spoke, the smile on her lips faded. Let my younger siblings decide, I went to Duke Willebrand, that’s why you were seriously injured, I don’t want to see you enter the Siguo Tower again... Promise me, no matter what, think about the consequences before doing anything.”

Jiang Lin's brows darkened a little, "This matter, your younger brother and sister were at fault first."

"So Dad asked the housekeeper to pay you a few big gifts for your little girlfriend." Nancy blocked his accusation back with one sentence, "One yard is equal to one yard, isn't it?"

"Really?" Jiang Lin raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "No matter what position you stand on, Nancy, don't meddle in my affairs, stay away from her, and don't let your stupid siblings come out to cause trouble."

Nancy's eyes darkened, the blue turned into dark blue, and some unidentifiable light flashed in her eyes, "You hate me so much?"

The man's voice was so deep that water dripped out, "Just like you will protect your younger brother and sister, I naturally can't watch my people being hurt by others. Before I went into the house to see my grandfather that day, I told Jiangnan Guo to take good care of him. She, so after the accident, I held him accountable. But that doesn't mean I hate him, do you understand? "

"Since you don't hate me, I haven't done anything to hurt her." Nancy paused and asked with a wry smile, "Then why do you have to keep me away from her?"

The man raised his eyes to look at her, with an irreversible strength in his calm eyes, "Because, I don't want to do anything to hurt you either."

The meaning in his words could not be more obvious - if something goes wrong with that woman named Zijin, and the responsibility happens to be her, then he will not hesitate to make her pay the price for more than ten years of affection.

Nancy's smile was even more bitter, but she only asked: "You think I will harm her?"

"No." The man shook his head calmly, "I just can't allow any similar accidents to happen again. Someone promised me that nothing would happen to me five days ago, but she almost died right under my nose. Nancy , do you know how serious this is?"

The woman outside the door chuckled, "Is it serious enough for you to wash Meiyuan with blood?"

The man looked at her, frowned and said: "I have never regretted what I did in Meiyuan, nor will I feel half guilty. As for the hundreds of boards on my back, it is my punishment for myself."

Nancy's pupils narrowed slightly, and her shoulders began to tremble.

It turned out that he easily compromised and went to church with Duke Willebrand to repent and think about the punishment in the tower, not for those injured servants.but—

"Because she almost had an accident right under your nose, so you don't let yourself go." Nancy could barely hear her own voice, "You care about her so much?"

Jiang Lin avoided answering, "Nancy, in the past six years, you have saved two of my lives, and there may be a third in the near future, so I spared the lion sent by your younger siblings and your father. You... ...It's best to stay away from her, I don't want to have conflicts with you. But you have to remember, from now on, I won't be so easy to talk to."

Nancy was touched by the solemnity and severity in his words.She opened her mouth subconsciously, wanting to refute something, but closed it again without saying a word for a long time.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the gap between the floors for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and smiled kindly at him.

"I'll ask the housekeeper to clean up for you. We'll go back to Jiang's house after you take the medicine." She said, "The doctor prescribed some medicine for injection last night. I don't know what it is. I heard it works quickly. But the side effects are serious. If you don't want to be seen by the Jiang family and your little girlfriend, you can temporarily use it for a while, and the operation... I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Although hearing Nancy's voice on the phone made Duan Zijin feel bad, she promised Jiang Lin after all that she would go back and listen to him finish his sentence.So after hanging up the phone, she turned around and said to Tang Jichi, "Thank you for coming to Jiang's house to find me, and thank you for telling that important thing."

Tang Jichi moved his stiff wrist joints a few times, and looked at her indifferently, "What does this mean, you're leaving now that he's back?"

Duan Zijin pursed his lower lip, "Isn't this what we agreed at the beginning?"

"Yes." Tang Jichi looked sideways at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sunlight blinded him a little, "But I always thought, maybe one time, you can show me a little bit of hesitation."

Duan Zijin's heart was shaken, and he huddled his fingers together, "Tang Jichi..."

"Want to say I'm sorry?" Tang Jichi leaned on the wheelchair, stared at her expressionlessly, and cut off his words before she finished speaking, "The three words I want to hear are not sorry."

Duan Zijin couldn't bear it anymore, and said resolutely: "But the three words you want to hear, I only said to one person. I owe you a lot these years, but I don't want to use the so-called 'most Easy way 'come back. You... stop wasting time on me."

Tang Jichi was amused by her serious look, but a small hole opened in a corner of his heart, "You have waited for Jiang Lin for six years, do you think it's a waste of time?"

Duan Zijin frowned, and Tang Jichi continued to ask, "I've only been chasing you for more than a month, and you think I'm wasting my time?"

Indeed, in school six years ago, they were always friends of gentlemen, and Tang Jichi never pestered or disturbed her. If it wasn't for every time she had a problem that Jiang Lin couldn't solve, he would always appear by her side immediately, Duan Zijin It's almost imperceptible that this man likes her too.

It was at the school celebration ceremony more than a month ago that he officially said that he wanted to pursue her.

Duan Zijin had a headache, "Tang Jichi, Jiang Lin is not impossible for me."

Meaning, is she an impossible person for him?The wound on Tang Jichi's heart was getting bigger and bigger, but he deliberately ignored it, and asked instead, "Isn't he really?"

Duan Zijin's eyes suddenly froze, and there seemed to be something deep in the brown pupils, which slowly collapsed as he fell into a silent atmosphere after asking questions.

She bit her lips with her white teeth, "Even if he is an impossible person..."

"I'm the same as you." Tang Jichi took the coat handed by the servant and put it on his body, his tone was so ordinary that he seemed to be talking about the weather, "Even if you are an impossible person."

*

When the car drove into the gate of Jiang's house, Duan Zijin heard his heart beating even more violently than the first time he passed here.

She was sitting in the car, looking out of the car window at the carved door slowly moving out of her sight, her brows were tightly frowned.

Tang Jichi was beside her, seeing her nervous expression in his eyes.He wanted to reach out to hold her trembling palm, but in the end he just clenched his five fingers tightly.

As soon as Town's car entered the door, the people inside received the news.

Not long after, a tall, straight man with a stern face walked out quickly, his black eyes catching the car that had just stabilized without blinking.The sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the bulletproof glass in an instant, nailing someone's face to death.
