"The child's name is Yinglan. ”

The woman feebly touched the child's face. She looked at the wrinkled face with her eyes closed, and she didn't have a chance to see it become beautiful and charming, she didn't have a chance to see those eyes become deep and moving, and she didn't have a chance to see this short-limbed, weak, helpless baby in swaddling clothes become a delicate and independent girl.

Ye Xun stood next to the hospital bed, his eyes full of guilt and regret. He had seen so many deaths, so many that his brothers and close ministers were all cleared by him, and now even when he looked at his wife in front of him, he could no longer shed extra tears in his eyes. When he was depressed, when he was ostracized, when he was almost assassinated, the woman on the hospital bed never left him. But I didn't expect to say goodbye here.

"Okay, it's called Yinglan. ”

He looked up at the window, spring had arrived.

The sound of water falling from a high place in his ears woke Ye Shen up from his dream.

Putting on his glasses, Ye Xun saw the white blade sitting opposite him.

"Are you awake?" Seeing Ye Xun wake up, Bai Jian asked unhurriedly.

Ye Xun nodded: "Why didn't you call me when you came?"

"Seeing that you are sleeping deeply, I didn't call you," Bai Jian smiled, "My daughter is getting married, is it not possible to accept the reality for a while?"

Ye Shen smiled bitterly: "I am in charge of this marriage, how can I not accept it?"

"Ying Lan is worthy of being your daughter," Bai Jian took out an empty cup and poured tea for Ye Shen, "with a hard mouth." ”

"I just think of Katagiri sometimes," Ye Shen picked up the teacup, but his eyes fell on the tea tray, the water accumulated on the black tea tray, and Ye Shen's face could be reflected smoothly, "Mr. White Blade, is it right that I arranged a marriage for Ying Lan?"

Looking at Ye Xian's expression, Bai Jian did not speak. Just silently pour the water into the jug.

The hot water soaked the tea leaves and slowly overflowed.

The white blade fastens the lid of the pot, and the excess water trickles across the rounded body.

Neither of them spoke again.

At this time, September 12, 17:43.

......

"You're really not going to do anything about it?"

"I think this is the only way to protect Gu Lichuan. ”

"I think the Black Rider is right. ”

"Yes, yes, you know that the black rider is the black rider, the black rider is the black rider, and the black rider fart and you say it is fragrant. ”

Ying Lan's room was crowded with people, Black Rider, Ye Hanshu, Wei Yan, Zhou Shentong, and Ling Han. At first, only Ling Han was chatting with Ying Lan, then Ye Hanshu who was pulling the black rider broke in, and then there was the idle Wei Yan and Zhou Shentong, Leng Yun never asked about the Ye family's family affairs, and the falling star didn't ask about anything.

"That's what the black rider said is right!" Zhou Shentong glared at Wei Yan, "Everything is ready now, if the east wind of the second lady doesn't blow, then Mr. Ye will not be angry!"

"If you want me to say, Second Miss, why don't you just poison him to death on the night of your wedding, and then go to your Gu Lichuan. ”

Ling Han raised his head and glanced at Wei Yan angrily. He felt that Strange Flame never spoke in tune.

"Say no more. ”

Ying Lan looked up at the people standing around her.

"The Black Rider is right," Ying Lan's eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, "forcing each other to death is the only way to keep Lethe, and I have indeed done so." At least my father is a trustworthy man, and Lechuan is all right. ”

When everyone saw Yinglan say such a thing, they didn't know what to say for a while, so they could only look at her silently.

"No matter how strong the strength of the special operations team is, in the end, it is not as strong as ours, even if we can escape Ling Han once, it is difficult to guarantee that we will be safe for the rest of our lives. What's more, there is Lethe on one side and the family on the other, and I don't feel good in my heart if I hurt either side. ”

Looking at Ying Lan's side face and listening to her words, Ling Han lowered his head. There is only one thing on his mind now, that is, he hopes that Gu Lichuan will be able to appear at the wedding scene tomorrow as promised and take Ying Lan away like a hero.

"Ling Han," Suddenly, the black rider called out to him, "why don't you speak?"

Ling Han raised his head, and he bumped into the black knight's gaze.

"Nothing. Ling Han shook his head.

But he didn't see it, the Black Rider's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile.

At this point, 21:32

......

"Yinglan, are you asleep?"

There was a knock on the door and Ye Xun's voice outside the door.

"Nope. Ying Lan, who was half-lying and reading, sat up, got out of bed and put on her shoes, and opened the door for Ye Xun.

It was already late, and Ye Shen was still wearing formal clothes. Presumably, there are a lot of things to deal with, and I haven't gotten a chance to breathe for a while.

"It's so late, is there something wrong?" Ying Lan stood by the door and looked at Ye Xun.

"It's nothing ......" Ye Xun seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Ying Lan could see that Ye Xun wanted to talk to her.

So she turned and walked to the couch: "You better come in." ”

Ye Shen walked into the house and closed the door.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Ying Lan stood by the coffee table, picked up an orange casually, and asked Ye Zhen while peeling it.

"Tomorrow is your wedding, and I haven't had a good chat with you in so many years. That ......" Ye Shen helped his glasses, although he was a decisive leader in Wuming, he was still a stupid father in the face of his daughter.

"You better sit down and talk," Ying Lan turned around and handed him the peeled orange in his hand, "Tea?"

Breaking the orange in his hand little by little, and tearing off a small petal, Ye Shen seemed to want to rely on the grinder to calm his tension and embarrassment.

"What do you think of White?" Finally, Ye Shen spoke.

"It's not bad, looks like the type I like, people are gentle and funny. I doubt how he can be the head of a tech company with his personality. Ying Lan sat on the main sofa and answered Ye Xun's question.

"It's good if you like it," Ye Xian was secretly happy in his heart, nodded, and continued, "Yinglan, if you marry him, you will definitely be able to live the life you want." ”

The life I want?Ying Lan sneered in her heart. I don't even know what kind of life I want, so how do you know I can live the life I want?

Thinking of this, the nameless Ying Lan wanted to refute Ye Xian. But when she raised her head and saw Ye Xian's appearance, she didn't know what to say - in her eyes, Ye Shen had always been a ruthless man who could even reflect a cold light through his glasses. But now, he is just an ordinary father. Maybe he is also like Gu Lichuan's father, he will feel tired and lonely.

"Probably. So Ying Lan nodded and brushed her hair.

"In this way, I have fulfilled your mother's wish. Ye Shen smiled and finally put the orange in his mouth.

"Her wish?" Ying Lan looked at Ye Xun with some puzzlement, she had never heard Ye Xun say such a thing.

"Ha, you definitely don't know, after all, you've only seen her appearance in photos," Ye Zhen pursed his lips, "After your mother gave birth to you, she asked me to swear." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Shen laughed: "I have been married to her for many years, and I have never seen her so tough. ”

"Ye Xun," the woman didn't know where she got the strength, and grabbed Ye Xun's sleeve stiffly, "You promise me, don't let her go your way, just let her live the life she wants peacefully." Please. ”

Ye Xun held his wife's hand in a panic: "I promise you, I promise you." ”

"I have never regretted marrying you, whether I live or die, I don't care," the woman lay flat on the bed and looked at Ye Xun, "But child, I don't want the child to be hurt a little bit." ”

"So promise me, promise me! Whether it's cold or lingering, don't let them ...... Let them ......"

Ye Xun took off his glasses and rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand: "Your sister is naturally competitive and competitive, I can't stop her, and now the company can't do without her." But you're different. You are the only thought your mother left to me, I don't need you to be born and die for the company, I just want you to live well......"

Looking at Ye Xian's stubborn appearance, Ying Lan didn't know what to say for a while. She recalled that every time she wanted to learn a knife or shoot, Ye Xun would always reprimand her. And when his God's hand first appeared, Ye Xian's surprised and sad expression. She seemed to understand it all in an instant.

She remembered what Lethe had told her when she was drunk.

"I was also quite angry at the time," Gu Lichuan pinched his chin, his expression was very funny, "Think about it, if your father brings a woman you don't know to the house, and tells you that this is your stepmother, can you not be angry?"

"But then I thought about it for a long time, and I thought maybe I didn't understand my father too much. ”

"He had a hard time in those years. ”

"We are like this sometimes, always feeling how ruthless and cruel the world is, how indifferent and disgusting the society is, how our parents do not understand our wishes and ideals. ”

"Well, I admit that the world is very ruthless and cruel, this society is very cold and disgusting, and after we fully understand it, we only feel that it is cruel and ruthless, cold and disgusting. ”

"But ......"

"We really rarely try to understand our loved ones. ”

Thinking of this, Ying Lan's heart twitched.

"Dad," Standing up, Ying Lan walked over to him and stroked his shoulder, "Thank you." ”

Ye Shen laughed and said jokingly: "What are you doing? It won't be that you regret it now and want to run away from the marriage, right?"

Ying Lan also laughed: "If I wanted to escape, my leg would have been broken by my sister a long time ago." ”

At this point, 23:52

......

White Crowe stood in the room.

"They've taken the base back," a distorted voice came from a communication device on the table, "their current state is really 'going to be outside the king'." ”

"Wait a minute," White Crowe turned his head to look at the communicator, and flicked the corneal lens in his hand out, revealing a pair of red pupils, "It's really uncomfortable to go around with a fake eye to hide the color of the pupils." ”

"Aren't you scared at all?" said a questioning voice from the contact.

"Aren't you the one scared?" continued White Crow.

"I thought you could win the special operations team in one fell swoop before I listened to your arrangement," an angry voice came from the other end of the communicator, "Now, not only the affairs of the second group may be exposed, but even your marriage may not be consummated!"

White Crowe smiled slightly, a mocking look projected onto the contact's screen.

"It's not that I look down on you, it's just that you're too careful, and I can't bear to irritate your fragile nerves," he said, walking quickly to the window and looking at the night sky outside, "Everything will still go according to plan tomorrow, as long as you follow my arrangement, you can still get what you want." Special operations group, let them come. ”

The liaison was silent for a moment.

"This is the end of the matter, and we have to go on like this," the voice replied reluctantly, "I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

White Crowe looked at the screen that had hung up and smiled meaningfully.

"You are, Mr. Minister. ”

September 13, 00:00.
