Chapter 438: Self-deception
"Brother Zhou. ”
Jin Jiu's tone was in a trance for a moment, and then he said, "I don't know." ”
The second half of his sentence was a little decisive, and Ruan Mianmian deliberately glanced up at him when he heard this.
It's a pity that Jin Jiu is looking at the road conditions in front of him seriously at the moment, but there is nothing abnormal.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't tell the difference, whether he really didn't know, or was helping Jiang Ce and them deliberately conceal it.
When Ruan Mianmian returned to Starfish Bay, the hall was empty, and Jiang Ce and the others had not yet returned.
So the room seemed a lot empty.
After sending Ruan Mianmian back, Jin Jiu quietly slipped out not long after.
Ruan Mianmian didn't know when this guy slipped away.
But none of this mattered, Ruan Mianmian boiled a pot of hot water by herself, then made flower tea, and snuggled up on the sofa in the hall to watch TV.
I don't know how long it took, Ruan Mianmian was in a daze and heard the sound of a car engine coming from outside the courtyard, so he slowly opened his eyes.
She was sleepy watching TV just now, so she simply lay on the sofa and squinted for a while, but she didn't expect to really fall asleep.
She hurriedly got up, and then Jiang Ce, along with the mermaids who followed him, walked into the hall one after another, and it seemed that this place was instantly crowded.
"Brother Ruan, hello!"
When everyone saw Ruan Mianmian's figure, they hurriedly stepped forward and said hello.
Ruan Mianmian looked at them and nodded, and finally his gaze fell on Jiang Ce.
She asked, "What are you doing here?"
When the words fell, the others looked at Jiang Ce one after another, as if they were all waiting for Jiang Ce's answer.
Ruan Mianmian slowly wrinkled his eyebrows, and then heard Jiang Ce say to the people behind him:
"Go and go and go and go and talk about it later. ”
Hearing this, they all knew that Jiang Ce was going to whisper to Ruan Mianmian, and everyone dispersed quickly for a while.
There were only two people left in the hall, Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Ce, he took a step, came to the sofa, and sat next to Ruan Mianmian.
He leaned forward slightly, his elbows on his laps, and looked at Ruan Mianmian with a sideways face.
"Did you have fun today?"
Ruan Mianmian nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
In fact, they also play well, and they have been busy with Xiang Kui to get some things that were ordered before, and as for the entertainment, it is probably the lunch meal.
Jiang Ce let out a low 'um' sound, and then continued: "I've been a little busy in the past two days, and I can't go to Chen Ci and Xiang Kui, so I'll work hard for you." ”
As he spoke, Jiang Ce touched Ruan Mianmian's cheek behind him.
The fingertips are warm with a hint of rough texture.
Ruan Mianmian followed his movements, but kept his eyes on him again.
In the end, Ruan Mianmian still asked, "Jiang Ce, tell me, what have you been busy with lately?"
"Nothing. ”
Jiang Ce smiled and continued: "It's all some normal business dealings, you can rest assured." ”
Feel relieved?
How can she rest assured?
The two of them were so close that she could easily smell the smell of him.
Ruan Mianmian didn't know if Jiang Ce was pretending to be too calm, or if he really couldn't smell the faint smell of blood on his body.
Ruan Mianmian pursed the corners of her mouth very tightly, she looked at Jiang Ce worriedly, and without saying a word, she just stared at him like this.
Jiang Ce was inexplicably weak by her eyes, he turned his face slightly, and then twisted it back, the smile on his face became more and more deliberate.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Huh? Is there something on my face?"
As he spoke, Jiang Ce moved a little closer to Ruan Mianmian, and stretched out a hand and put it on the back of the chair behind her.
The distance between the two has been shortened to a few moments.
Ruan Mianmian lowered his eyes, close to the side of his neck, and took a deep breath.
The moment she approached, Jiang Ce's back also stiffened.
He seemed to have thought of something, and when he retreated again, he was gently pulled by Ruan Mianmian's neckline.
Jiang Ce didn't dare to exert any more force, so he stuck with her like this.
Ruan Mianmian's was almost attached to his neck socket, so now Jiang Ce couldn't even see what Ruan Mianmian's expression was.
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he asked lightly.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Mianmian's fingertips loosened the shackles on Jiang Ce little by little, and straightened up.
In fact, she grabbed Jiang Ce just now, and she didn't use much strength.
It's just that Jiang Ce's heart is empty, although he senses something, he doesn't dare to make too big a move.
Ruan Mianmian opened the distance between the two, and his eyes were already cold.
She looked at Jiang Ce quietly and asked, "Do you remember what I told you?"
Be a good person.
Almost the moment Ruan Mianmian's words fell, these words floated in Jiang Ce's mind.
He seemed to have let her down.
"There's nothing like what you think. ”
Jiang Ce explained to Ruan Mianmian, and he reached out to pull Ruan Mianmian, "It's not what you think." ”
Ruan Mianmian turned his face to the side irritably, and pushed Jiang Ce's outstretched hand away.
She leaned back on the sofa and lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the coffee table in front of her.
The glass of water she had just poured was still steaming.
Just like the emotions in Ruan Mianmian's heart, the cracks were torn apart little by little, and they emerged in an instant.
"Not like me?
Ruan Mianmian sneered, "Jiang Ce, how long has it been since you told me about you, but whenever I ask, you will tell me, it's not like that, it's not like that, what about the truth?"
Ruan Mianmian lowered his head and rubbed his fingertips, and suddenly looked at Jiang Ce, the emotions that he wanted to suppress desperately still couldn't hold back.
"Jiang Ce, do you dare to tell me the truth?"
No matter what, she can't blame the smell of blood on Jiang Ce's body on a sentence of normal business activities.
You can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb because of Jiang Ce's understatement of explanation.
Jiang Ce lowered his head and was silent.
Ruan Mianmian looked at him like this, and suddenly began to reflect.
Aren't you a little too much of a failure?
It's also a little too much to believe in Jiang Ce?
I really listened to his words, thinking that the truth was a sentence, and it was not the same thing.
Amusing.
Ruan Mianmian tried her best to suppress the urge to lose her temper, but she couldn't help but get angry.
Especially Jiang Ce's deception again and again on these matters.
She knows that many things can't happen overnight, and they can't change overnight, but she needs an attitude.
is not a sentence like Jiang Ce, in order to cover up what he did, and weave one lie after another.
He was too afraid of the negative effects of these things accumulating.
I am also afraid that Jiang Ce will repeat the mistakes of the past.
She doesn't need a shell that looks glamorous but is extremely rotten in her heart, she wants a complete Jiang Ce.
What she wants is the truth, the facts, and the real change of Jiang Ce.
But it wasn't until today that Ruan Mianmian realized that she had been deceiving herself for so long.
"Mianmian, it's really not as serious as you think. ”
As soon as Jiang Ce saw Ruan Mianmian's expression, he knew something bad.
He hurriedly began to explain, "I'm not as bad as you think, I'm just investigating the Jiang family's affairs back then, and the reason why I didn't tell you was because I didn't want you to worry." ”
