Hearing Chu Ning's worried voice, Ye Lingxi's heart was full of guilt, and he said calmly: "I'm in the apartment." ”

"You wait for me there, I'll be back soon. As if he was afraid that Ye Lingxi would disappear out of thin air again, Chu Ning was anxious.

"Okay, I'll wait for you, stay safe on the way back. Finally decided to tell his last secret to the person he trusted the most, Ye Lingxi's tone was a hint of relief, afraid that Chu Ning would rush back too quickly, Ye Lingxi did not forget to remind him to pay attention to safety.

After hanging up Chu Ning's phone, Ye Lingxi first went back to his room to take a hot bath.

As soon as she was in the room and had just finished drying her hair and turned off the hair dryer, she heard the door closing outside.

Knowing that it was Chu Ning who came back, Ye Lingxi put down the hair dryer in his hand and walked out of his room.

Seeing Ye Lingxi standing at the door of the room in thick home clothes, her face was a little pale, Chu Ning hurriedly rushed forward and pulled her arm, and carefully checked it left and right.

After confirming that she was safe and sound, Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations: "It's good that you're okay, you suddenly disappeared last night without making it clear, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you." Saying that, as if he was still angry in his heart, Chu Ning couldn't help but reach out and push Ye Lingxi's head, and the queen of the autumn reckoned and said: "You are getting better and better, you dare to play with me and Xia Yan and disappear, you want to scare us to death!"

"Chu Ning, why don't you ask me, where did I go after I left the bar last night, and who was I with?" Seeing that Chu Ning didn't mention why he disappeared last night, Ye Lingxi looked up at him and couldn't help asking.

Hearing Ye Lingxi's question, the smile on Chu Ning's face suddenly stiffened, and he said with some embarrassment: "It's okay if you're okay, everything else doesn't matter, tell me if you want to, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you." Anyway, you're my best friend, and I'm sure you have your own reasons for doing anything. ”

Chu Ning's kindness and thoughtfulness moved Ye Lingxi, thinking that he could have a friend like Chu Ning, Ye Lingxi's heart was suddenly full of emotion, and he couldn't help crying.

Seeing that Ye Lingxi cried inexplicably, Chu Ning was so frightened that he panicked, and said helplessly: "Don't cry! If you think I'm too fierce, I'll just let you fight back." You know, I'm most afraid of girls crying, I don't know what to do when you cry like this?"

Since Chu Ning's debut, everyone has defined him as 'playboy, public lover', but now Ye Lingxi saw that he was panicked and unproductive when he saw a girl crying, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart that everyone was not allowed to look at people at all.

Where is this 'playboy, public lover', obviously a bluffing paper tiger!

Amused by Chu Ning's helpless appearance, Ye Lingxi still had tears on his face, but he couldn't help but laugh: "Look at your useless appearance, who said I cried because you beat me." ”

"Then why are you crying so well? don't tell me that it's because you think I'm too handsome, so you're crying happily because you can have such a peerless beautiful man, right?" Chu Ning asked with an innocent face.

Why are you crying? Naturally, it was because I was moved by Chu Ning.

It's just that Ye Lingxi didn't want to tell him this, otherwise this guy would definitely be proud for a long time, and he would take the opportunity to make fun of her.

So she stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face, sniffed, suddenly changed the topic, and said with red eyes: "Chu Ning, if I want to tell you a secret, are you willing to listen to it?"

Seeing Ye Lingxi's serious expression, Chu Ning couldn't help but put away his joke, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded lightly, and replied solemnly: "Of course, of course I am willing to ......"

In this world, many people like to snoop on other people's secrets.

As a result, secrecy becomes more and more fatally attractive to people.

It's just that it's harder to keep a secret for someone than to snoop on someone's secret, especially if the person who tells you that secret is very important to you.

For Chu Ning, Ye Lingxi is that very important person!

Reminiscing about the past, it seems that a little atmosphere is also needed.

Ye Lingxi poured two cups of hot water for himself and Chu Ning, and then the two of them nested in the two corners of the sofa.

The curtains in the living room were ajar, and the oblique light only illuminated the small half of Ye Lingxi's face, and her expression looked so unfathomable in the half of the shadows.

It wasn't until the hot water in his hand turned warm that Ye Lingxi slowly spoke: "I told you everything before that everything is true, only for the reason of going abroad, I lied." I didn't go abroad because of the insurance I got because my brother died suddenly, but the money was paid for me by the person who supported me at the time. In my first year of college in City A, I once went to the hotel where my brother worked to see my brother, and I met a drunk guest. The man wanted to insult me, and my brother was in a hurry, regardless of the man's identity, picked up a bottle of champagne and threw it at the man. After smashing someone, we learned that the man was the son of a high-ranking official in City A. That night, the man took my brother and locked him in the house and smashed the champagne bottles down one by one. I was caught next to me and watched my brother get beaten on the head and bleed. I knew my brother was going to die, so I broke away from my captors like crazy and rushed out to find someone to save my brother. Luckily, as soon as I ran out of the door, I encountered a group of people passing in front of me. I was going crazy, and I didn't care who the other party was, so I rushed up and begged him to save my brother. The rest of the thing, I don't think you should have guessed if I didn't say it. ”

"That person promised to save your brother, but only if he exchanged you for it?" It was indeed a very vulgar episode, but when he thought that these things had happened to Ye Lingxi, Chu Ning's voice couldn't help but tremble.

"To be exact, it should be exchanged with my body. Ye Lingxi smiled bitterly, and his voice suppressed unspeakable pain: "That person changed my name and gave me a new identity, making me from an ugly duckling with nothing to a white swan that everyone envies." I had been waiting for him to get tired of me, but I didn't expect my brother's bad news to happen before he got tired of me. My brother died, and I felt like the whole sky was falling. I locked myself in my room, didn't eat or drink for many days, and my whole body was thin and out of shape. He hadn't been seen for a while, and when he knew I was feeling like I was dying, he appeared to me and asked me how I could come back to life. I cried and begged him, begging him to let me go and let me live in a different place. At that time, I just said it casually, and I didn't think he would say yes to me. Who knew that he left without saying a word that day, and the next day he sent someone to take me to apply for a passport and visa to go to France, and prepare everything to study in France. After that, I never saw him again until I went to France. I thought that we would never have the chance to meet again in this life, but who would have thought that after returning to City A, we would meet again. ”

From hearing the strange man's voice in Ye Lingxi's mobile phone to last night, it has been a long time, Chu Ning understands that the two should have reunited a long time ago, but Ye Lingxi has never told him.

For so many years, Chu Ning thought that he was only a little later than a Xu Jiu, but he didn't expect that there would be another episode in this.

Back then, he was able to help Ye Lingxi settle the hurtful things, presumably the identity of the other party must be unusual.

This can also explain what the incredible things that have happened around Ye Lingxi for a period of time are for!

The starlight queen award that fell from the sky, the sudden invitation to the Huanyan charity party, the mysterious person hiding upstairs on the boat where the party was held, and Sun Xuefei's audio ......

All of this is not a coincidence, let alone Ye Lingxi's luck, but someone is helping her behind her back.

Thinking that this person was in the dark, quietly helping Ye Lingxi do so many things, Chu Ning's heart suddenly tightened, and for some reason he had a deep sense of crisis!

Compared with Xu Jiu, this man behind the scenes may be more threatening to him!

"That person is the president of the Lu family?" Chu Ning boldly guessed based on the current signs.

Seeing that Chu Ning guessed correctly, Ye Lingxi couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, he is the current president of the Lu family, Lu Jingxing." ”

Although he was 100% sure of the other party's identity in his heart, the moment he received confirmation from Ye Lingxi, Chu Ning was still a little shocked in his heart.

This world is obviously so big, and tens of billions of people are passing by every day, but Ye Lingxi met the most unlikely person......

"He wants to pursue you again?" Chu Ning subconsciously held his breath and asked nervously.

Pursue yourself?

This is the first time that someone has heard these two words to describe Lu Jingxing, Ye Lingxi couldn't help laughing and said, "Chu Ning, you are too exalted to me." For Lu Jingxing, what kind of woman does he want in this world? Even if it is me, it is only one of his many women back then. What's more, it was I who took the initiative to seek him back then, and it was not me he pursued at all. Now that times have changed, how could he pursue a woman he already had?"

"Do you really think so?" Ye Lingxi said easily, but Chu Ning felt that things were not so simple.

Originally, Ye Lingxi felt very natural when she said these words at first, but after Chu Ning asked, her heart suddenly hesitated.

Looking back at Lu Jingxing's reappearance in front of his eyes, is this kind of thing that happened to him really just Lu Jingxing's whim?

The appearance of the blue villa by the sea suddenly flashed in his mind, Ye Lingxi's heart suddenly twitched violently, and the hand holding the water cup slowly tightened.

Although he still had no conclusion in his heart, Ye Lingxi's mouth was still stubbornly determined: "Of course, I have a few catties and taels myself, and I know best." A girl like me, who comes from a poor background and has a bit of beauty, can be seen everywhere in such a big city. People like Lu Jingxing are just trying to be fresh, and I won't be blindly confident that he will really like me. I can't even keep Xu Jiu's heart, how can I keep Lu Jingxing's heart?"

Not wanting to hear Ye Lingxi belittle himself like this, Chu Ning's eyebrows furrowed, and he said solemnly: "Lingxi, you have to believe that you are far better than you imagined!"

"Really?" Ye Lingxi smiled with tears, raised the cold water cup in his hand and took a sip gently, and finally said in a hollow voice, "But I don't believe ......"
