Zhou Dan placed Lin Nuan in an apartment hotel.

Lin Nuan stayed in the hotel for three days.

During this period, Lin Wenwen came once, and when he saw her like this, he scolded Cen Jinghuai from head to toe.

Lin Nuan was amused by her angry appearance.

"How can you still laugh?"

She shook her head and said, "Isn't it okay to have fun in the midst of suffering?"

"Then what should I do next? Do you really want to be Sheng Jiren's goddaughter?"

Lin Nuan was silent and did not speak, Lu Zhengshen's instructions naturally let her get in the way and destroy the relationship between Cen Jinghuai and Sheng Jiren.

She nodded and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do?"

"But this Sheng Jiren is not so easy to mess with. ”

"I don't have a choice, let's take it one step at a time, as long as the child is safe, that's my only request now. ”

Lin warmly hugged her, and the two warmed each other.

This little bit of warmth, in the current environment, is very precious.

Like a small flame in the dark.

Three days later, Shengjia's birthday party.

Sheng Jiren arranged the party on the boat, and Lin Nuan secretly got on the boat under his arrangement.

Cen Jinghuai already knew about this in advance.

His head ached, his palms were cold, and his whole body was cold. Zhou Dan saw that his face changed suddenly, and his forehead quickly sweated, and he immediately brought water and medicine.

"Thank you. He took it and swallowed the pill.

After a long moment, he recovered a little, and he opened his eyes, "Are the gifts ready?"

"Ready. ”

"What did you buy?"

"Music box. ”

Cen Jinghuai smiled, "The memory is gone, but the personality has not changed." ”

Zhou Dan said: "Little girls should like these. ”

He looked at the time and sat for a while before taking the gift box and going out.

By the time he arrived, there had already been quite a few people on board.

Sheng Jiren is relatively open in black and white, and he knows more dignitaries than he imagined.

After Cen Jinghuai got on the boat, as soon as he entered the banquet hall, two little girls came over, and when they walked in front of him, they deliberately stopped for a moment, and then quickly ran out.

The two ran to Sheng Jia's room in one go.

"See, see, see. ”

One of the little girls, with stars in her eyes, said, "It's really handsome, black suit and white shirt, it's amazing! ”

Another said, "But I think he has a scar on his face." ”

Sheng Jia said: "What's wrong with the scar? It doesn't affect his appearance. ”

"Tsk, this is a calf protector. ”

"Nope. Sheng Jia blushed a little and ignored them.

These two are her best friends, and she has unreservedly shared her little secrets with them about Cen Jinghuai.

She was reserved for a while, but she couldn't help it, turned around, and asked, "How is he today?"

"Don't you see it every day? ”

"Oh, Jiajia is asking him what he is like today, in her eyes, can yesterday be the same as today? ”

"Huang Li, you say it again! Believe it or not, I'll tell your parents that you are in early love!"

Huang Li smiled, "You're getting married, I'm in love, it's really not worth mentioning." ”

"You man, I have to beat you!"

The two were noisy, Huang Li ran out of the room directly, saw the person coming out of the elevator, and immediately passed, and then flashed, Sheng Jia hit the other party impartially.

Huang Li didn't stop, looked back at the two of them, pursed his lips and smiled, immediately entered the elevator, and ran away without a shadow.

Sheng Jia raised his head and saw the person in front of him, his face instantly turned red, his eyes were surprised and happy, and he quickly took a step back, "You...... Why are you here?"

"I'll give you a gift. ”

He bent down to pick up the gift box that had fallen to the ground and handed it over.

Sheng Jia's eyes smiled into a crescent moon, "For me?"

"Your birthday, of course, is for you. ”

She took it, "Thank you." ”

She lowered her head and glanced up at him from time to time, she tried to control her smile, but the corners of her mouth went up uncontrollably.

At this time, the door behind the two suddenly opened.

Lin Nuan came out of it, she was a little bored in the room, like going out for a walk, Sheng Jiren didn't say that she was not allowed to walk around.

Just now she also heard the sound of fighting in the corridor inside, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.

Sheng Jia heard the movement, tilted her head to look over, and when she saw Lin Nuan, she couldn't help blinking, she hadn't seen this person. And she came out of the eldest brother's room, which is even more magical.

"Who are you?" she smiled, and the joy in her eyes had not faded, revealing the girl's thoughts completely.

Cen Jinghuai also turned around, seeing that she had no surprise, and that look seemed to be looking at a stranger. She wondered if he wanted to learn from this little girl, and asked her, who are you?

"My surname is Lin, and I am a guest invited by Brother Sheng. ”

"You're my brother's new girlfriend?"

Lin Nuan glanced at Cen Jinghuai, smiled, and did not answer.

Sheng Jia walked over, stretched out his hand to her in a friendly manner, and said, "Hello, my name is Sheng Jia, and I am Sheng Jiren's sister. You must be my brother's girlfriend, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get out of his room. ”

"Hello, you can call me warm. ”

"No, I have to call you sister-in-law. ”

She grinned.

"I won't bother you. She turned and headed for the elevator.

Sheng Jia looked at her, waited for her to enter the elevator, and then turned her head, and was about to exit when she was about to stop.

Is he in a daze?

What does that reveal in the eyes?

She pursed her lips and looked at him blankly, and after a while, Cen Jinghuai looked sideways, met her gaze, and in the blink of an eye, her expression recovered, "What's wrong?"

"Nope. She immediately smiled and shook her head, "I want to say, the young lady is very beautiful." Looks a bit like my former sister-in-law. ”

"Yes. ”

"The sister-in-law I'm talking about is the real sister-in-law, not the one you see. ”

She thought for a moment and said, "You think she's good-looking, too, don't you?"

"The person that Brother Sheng has a crush on will naturally not be far behind. ”

She looked down at the gift box in her hand, playing slowly, and was silent for a while.

After a while, Cen Jinghuai spoke first and said, "You haven't dressed up yet, right? Go back to the room and dress up first, and I'll go to the venue to see if there's anything I can help with." ”

"Oh. ”

She nodded, and Cen Jinghuai followed her to the room, which would walk away.

Sheng Jia sat at the dresser, and the makeup artist continued to braid her hair.

"What's wrong with you? ”

"No upset. She looked at herself in the mirror and had a very strong sixth sense, telling her that the good-looking young lady just now had something to do with Cen Jinghuai.

Cen Jinghuai walked around the banquet hall and didn't see anyone, so she went to the deck again and saw her standing at the bow of the boat, talking to Sheng Jiren.

He thought for a moment, but walked over to say hello.

"Brother Sheng. ”

Sheng Jiren turned around when he heard this, "When did you come?"

"It wasn't long before I arrived. ”

"Have you been to Jiajia?"

"Come up and say hello, I'll go over again. ”

"There are a lot of people today, you have to take extra care of her, you have to stay an inch, you know?"

"Yes. ”

"Go ahead. ”

He nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, Sheng Jiren stopped him again, put a hand on Lin Nuan's body, looked at him, and said, "Do you mind?"

He glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Don't mind." ”

Sheng Jiren raised his eyebrows, "Go ahead." ”

He turned and walked away.

When he walked away, Sheng Jiren let go of his hand, his eyes swept around her face, and said, "Are you sad?"

"Huh?" she smiled and said, "It's good that I've seen his, and I've already seen his bastards, and I'm over all the sadness." ”

"Actually, I don't think he's supposed to be that. ”

"I used to think that he shouldn't be like this, and I even thought he was pretending, pretending to be someone else. But now it seems that I thought of him too well, and he has really changed. Bad guys may turn around and become good people when they figure it out, but who says that good people can't become heinous villains?"

"It seems to be the same thing. ”

Sheng Jiren raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.

Lin Nuan turned her head to face the sea, and the sea breeze blew in gusts, blowing her hair in a mess.

Looking at this ocean, she couldn't help but think of the days when she was at sea with Cen Jinghuai before, his meticulous care and love, his deep affection, and the predicament that the two encountered along the way.

It's like a world away.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she immediately turned her head away, not wanting Sheng Jiren to notice the abnormality.

Sheng Jiren patted her shoulder, "It's normal to be sad, just cry if you want to." ”

"I've cried, and I won't cry again. ”

She turned her head and smiled at him, tears still in her eyes.

Later, Sheng Jiren took her back to her room, where a dentist was waiting.

He asked Lin Nuan to lie down on a chair, and after examining it, he took out a miniature bugging device from her teeth.

Before coming, Lu Zhengshen placed it inside.

Sheng Jiren made a silent gesture to Lin Nuan, and then found someone to come over and place the bugging device on the other party's body.

After the eavesdropper was taken out, Lin Nuan no longer had any worries about speaking.

She immediately got up and knelt at Sheng Jiren's feet without hesitation. Before her knees touched the carpet, Sheng Jiren stretched out his feet and pressed them against her knees.

She raised her head, grabbed his hand with her backhand, and said, "Brother Sheng, I only ask you for one thing." ”

Sheng Jiren pulled her up.

Lin Nuan insisted on kneeling down, but in the end she couldn't help it, so she knelt down too.

"This matter is very simple, I ask you to help me kill my children, in the fastest way, without any kind of pain. ”

Sheng Jiren raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"Please help me kill them. She looked determined, not like she was joking.

"This is the first time I've heard that a mother is going to kill her own children. ”

"Life is long, and I don't want them to grow up in pain from a young age. If so, I'd rather leave this world with them. ”

Sheng Jiren squinted, was silent for a while, got up and pulled her up from the ground, and pressed her on the sofa, "It's not so desperate." ”

No, for Lin Nuan, it has come to this point.

She had no way, and she didn't want to be a victim and be tortured.

In this case, she has only one way, to see the children die first, and then to think about it in peace.

In this way, she can always take her children and live her life in peace.

She shook her head and said, "I can't help it." ”

"I don't want to be manipulated, to do all kinds of bad things, and I don't want to be controlled by others. It's easy to do, and I'll give you everything I can give you as long as you're willing. I want to take my children out of this strife, out of it completely. ”

She looked at him, her eyes not rolling.

"So, do you mean that you'd rather be broken than broken?"

"What I regret the most now is that we didn't settle this matter in the Lu family, we would have been relieved a long time ago. It's me who was so naïve......"

Sheng Jiren touched her face and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Lin Nuan looked at him, and after making sure that he was serious, he slowly exhaled and showed a smile, "Thank you." ”

"Okay, today is a happy day, before you die, you have to be happy, right?"

She nodded, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." ”

Sheng Jiren asked someone to bring a set of clothes over, and the dress was in a delicate box, which also included a pair of high heels and a set of jewelry.

Lin Nuan went to wash her face, and the makeup artist reapplied her makeup.

Evening parties, both indoor and outdoor.

Sheng Jia invited her classmates and some friends she knew, and Sheng Jiren specially arranged a show on the deck to entertain this group of children.

At 6 p.m., all the guests arrived.

The cruise ship sets sail.

The banquet hall was staggered, Lin Nuan changed his clothes, followed Sheng Jiren's side, held his arm, smiled, and followed him to negotiate with others.

Many people know that Lin Nuan is the wife of Lu Zhengshen, the third young man of the Lu family, so she is standing by Sheng Jiren's side at the moment, which is very reverie.

Thinking of Lu Sanshao's absurd measures in the past two years, they speculated whether this person was given by Lu Sanshao to Sheng Jiren as a favor, or whether they had divorced, and Lin Nuan hooked up with Sheng Jiren's big ship.

But at the moment, it is Sheng Jiren's field, and no one dares to talk nonsense, some are just blessings and praise.

In order not to make people mistaken, Cen Jinghuai brought a black mask, but fortunately, he was just a bodyguard at the moment, only following Sheng Jia's side, dressed like this, no one was suspicious.

Sheng Jia followed Sheng Jiren's side, Yu Guang looked at Lin Nuan from time to time, after entertaining a few important guests, taking advantage of Lin Nuan's time to walk away, she pulled Sheng Jiren to the side and said, "I just heard that she is a married woman, really?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"What does it mean not to count? Yes is, no is not, what is not counted. ”

"Do you mind?"

"You promised not to mess around. ”

Sheng Jiren smiled, "I thought it was because of something else." ”

"What else, can't you find a daughter-in-law? You're not young, you're in your forties, are you ready to die alone?"

"Then I'll marry her, okay?"

"Not good. Sheng Jia shook her head, "If you really like it, it's nothing, it's not fair to others to be a substitute." ”

Sheng Jiren laughed.

Sheng Jia looked serious, "Don't laugh, I'll tell you to be serious." ”

"More on that later, but now I'm going to entertain guests. ”

Sheng Jia still wanted to say something, someone had already come over and took the initiative to talk to Sheng Jiren.

Sheng Jiren beckoned Cen Jinghuai over, and walked away with the guests.

Sheng Jia snorted, very unhappy.

She knows that her brother is not a good person, but she hopes that he can become a good person, become a good person who is just right, and stop doing anything risky. And over the years, Sheng Jiren has indeed changed, and in the past two years, there are really no messy women around him.

After she recovered and was discharged from the hospital, she behaved and did things according to her requirements.

It seems that he is really ready to change his ways, and he must be a serious and good person.

Sheng Jia turned her head to look at Cen Jinghuai and asked, "Do you know her?"

"Who?" he asked knowingly.

"You know. She said firmly.

Cen Jinghuai lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"If you don't say it, I'll ask myself. ”

Lin Nuan came back from going to the toilet and saw many people around Sheng Jiren, so he didn't bother, but found a corner and went to get something to eat.

Sheng Jia saw her from afar, her clothes today were very eye-catching, and she couldn't be drowned in the crowd.

She sent her friends away and chased after Lin Nuan.

"Sister. ”

Lin Nuan just took a bite of bread, smelled the sound, raised his head, and saw Sheng Jia's smiling face, as well as Cen Jinghuai who followed her.

She quickly retracted her gaze, her expression was faint, but she was not polite, "Hello, have something to do with me?"

"I want to know, did you follow my brother voluntarily, or did he persecute and threaten you? I just heard a lot of people say that you are a married woman, so ...... So I wanted to ask. ”

Lin Nuan didn't expect that she would come over specifically to ask about this.

"This ......"

"If you are forced, you can tell me, and I will ask my brother to let you go back to your husband. ”

Lin Nuan laughed, "I wasn't forced, and I don't have a husband." Those people don't know the inside story, my husband and I have long since divorced, and he has already married another. ”

"Are you serious?"

Lin Nuan felt that this kid was quite interesting, "Your brother's marriage is in charge of you?"

"Hmm. He promised me. ”

"Your brother and sister have a good relationship. ”

"We are brothers and sisters, of course the relationship is good, is there any brother and sister in this world who have a bad relationship?"

"It's possible. Lin Nuan smiled, kept putting food on the plate, and then found a place to sit down.

Sheng Jia followed, not letting Cen Jinghuai follow, she sat directly beside Lin Nuan, looked at her with a pair of eyes, and asked, "Then do you recognize him?" ”

She is very direct, has doubts in her heart, and usually can't hide it for a day.

Lin Nuan didn't raise his eyelids, and said directly: "I don't know." ”

"You're a liar. ”

She scoffed, "You don't believe what I say, why do you want to ask me?"

"Then tell me, what is the relationship between you?"

"It really doesn't matter, if you really want to talk about it, then I'm his sister-in-law. ”

Obviously, this is different from Sheng Jia's guess, "Aren't you a couple?"

"Why do you think we're a couple?"

"The sixth sense, my sixth sense is very accurate. And the way he looks at you, it's very different, that kind should be like, or deeper, love. ”

Lin Nuan glanced in the direction of Cen Jinghuai, "Does he know what you think in your heart?"

"I didn't say it. ”

"If he knew you thought that, he would be angry. She put a spoonful of cream in her mouth, put her hand against her chin, squinted, and said, "My sixth sense tells me that he likes you, and you like him too." ”

"You are two lovers, and you should be together. But you're still young, you can fall in love first, and if you think it's good, you can get married. ”

Sheng Jia blushed instantly, she was dumbfounded, and it took a while to hold back a sentence, "You are talking nonsense! ”

"Look, you're blushing. ”

"I, I didn't. She covered her chubby cheeks with both hands, her watery eyes, and kept turning around, which was a panic after piercing the girl's heart.

Lin Nuan laughed.

Sheng Jia frowned, "Don't laugh." ”

"Okay, don't laugh. She immediately suppressed her smile.

Sheng Jia pursed her lips, snorted, and said, "You deliberately teased me." ”

"No, I just think that you shouldn't be cranky, misunderstand me, and affect my reputation. When your brother finds out, he will be upset. ”

"I'm not going to tell him. ”

Sheng Jia turned around, glanced at Cen Jinghuai not far away, and then turned his head to look at her.

At this time, Cen Jinghuai walked over here, and in a moment's effort, he came to them.

"I'm going to blow out the candles, go get ready. ”

"Well, got it. Sheng Jia got up, and before leaving, she glanced at Lin Nuan, didn't say anything, and went to prepare.

Cen Jinghuai stayed for a few seconds, and then followed Sheng Jia over.

Soon, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and everyone gathered in the middle.

Sheng Jiren's assistant came over to call Lin Nuan, she stood beside Sheng Jiren, the cake was pushed up, and the lights were completely dimmed.

It was Cen Jinghuai who pushed the cake, his face was reflected by candlelight, from the door of the banquet hall, he walked slowly, he was wearing the simplest white shirt with a black suit, not even a tie, very comfortable, wearing a mask on his face, only revealing a pair of eyes, looking a little mysterious.

In the candlelight, his gaze was gentle.

Soon, the cake was pushed in front of Sheng Jia.

The Happy Birthday song is just finished at this point.

Sheng Jiren: "Make a wish." ”

Sheng Jia folded her hands and closed her eyes, and after a minute, she opened her eyes and blew out the pull on the cake. The lights came on immediately, and everyone warmly wished them well.

With Sheng Jia's friends there, the scene was particularly lively.

After the ceremony was completed, Sheng Jia took her guests to the deck to play.

Cen Jinghuai is always there to protect his safety. In order not to disturb their interest, Cen Jinghuai found a corner and sat down, as long as Sheng Jia was within sight.

But Sheng Jia hid her thoughts, played with them for a while, then ran to him, took champagne to him, and said, "You haven't toasted me yet, haven't you told me happy birthday yet." ”

Cen Jinghuai agreed, touched a glass with her, and said, "I wish you a happy birthday, and your wishes come true." ”

"Thank you. ”

She took a sip and sat down next to him, "Why are you sitting in the corner?"

"I'm over there, and I'm going to have fun. ”

"Then you can play with us. She smiled, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"There is a generation gap. ”

"Hmph, you're disgusted with our naivety?"

Cen Jinghuai said bluntly, "It's really naïve." ”

"You say this, aren't you afraid that I will tell my brother and let him teach you a lesson?"

He chuckled and drank the rest of the champagne, "The truth I said. ”

She stared at him, even though his smile looked a little perfunctory, but it was still charming, Sheng Jia pursed her lips, and suddenly her brain exploded, and said, "I like you, you know?"

Cen Jinghuai was not surprised, put the wine glass to the side, and did not respond immediately.

Sheng Jia's emotions went from being excited to slowly calming down, kicking him and saying, "I talked to you, didn't you hear?"

"Like what?"

"I like you. ”

She said it again, and her brain exploded, she closed her eyes, patted her brain, kicked him, and said, "You don't have a face, let me confess twice." ”

"Little kids. ”

"I'll tell you something. ”

"What?"

"I had a bullet in my body that I couldn't remove. ”

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at her, and with a serious look, no longer looking at a child's eyes.

"I don't know how long I can live, and if something goes wrong, I'm going to die. ”

"What about making up stories?"

"Whoever wants to make up a story with you, I'm serious about me. ”

"So?"

"So, I'm not a child. Maybe you haven't seen it enough for me. ”

Cen Jinghuai sneered, "Yes, yes, you are a big child." ”

"If you don't believe it, forget it. Sheng Jia snorted, turned her head sideways, and pretended to be angry.

But after a few seconds, she stopped being angry again, bumped him with her elbow, and said, "The young lady said that she is your sister-in-law, are you sad?"

He glanced at her.

She raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of schadenfreude smiles, "You are not recognized, you are such a miserable man." ”

Cen Jinghuai sighed, "Don't you like me?

"I'm not sad, it's my business to like you, and I don't require you to like me, you just have to remember me. After all, I don't know when I'm going to turn off the lights, so I don't bother others. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly got up, went to get two more glasses of champagne, handed them to him, and said, "Tell your story, don't worry, I have a very strict mouth, I won't say it, and I won't tell my brother." ”

"Say you're big. He took the two cups together and placed them on the table next to him.

"You like her so much, why should you separate?"

He was silent.

"Aren't you sad that she wants to be my brother's woman now?"

He still didn't speak.

"She let us get married, and said that you like me, what she said was very sincere, not like anger, why did you say that?"

He turned his head, his eyes deep and met hers.

……

After the banquet was over, after the boat docked, Sheng Jiren personally saw off the guests, Sheng Jia saw that everyone was almost gone, so he went over and hugged his arm and said, "I haven't made longevity noodles this year, it's not past 12 o'clock, do you want to forget?"

"I was about to go to the kitchen when you came. ”

"Then I'll go with you. ”

"What are you looking at?"

"What do you mean by looking at you, don't we do this every year?"

Sheng Jiren glanced at her, didn't say anything, and took her to the back kitchen.

"What wishes did you make this year?" Sheng Jiren asked with a squeeze of her hand.

"It's the same as before, if you can live a little longer, look at your brother, you be a good person. ”
