Chapter Ninety-Six: Fearlessness
Zhan Wenlan hugged the person in his arms, his hands were firm and gentle, as if he was caring for a grass, and as if he was pitying a flower, slightly, tremblingly, all the wind and rain were eager to block out, not showing a trace of invasion on her body.
He had never seen this woman so vulnerable.
Cold and calm, whether it is the elegance of the hollow valley orchid or the bright light of all eyes, she always wanders freely, with a hint of laziness, as if she has never taken anything to heart.
Just like that time on the catwalk of the world's most eye-catching catwalk, the long dress she was wearing, only one was recycled, and everyone's eyes were retained forever, and they could no longer move a point.
In her bones, she seems to be forever tired. Obviously only eighteen years old, but it seems that she has already skipped this immature freedom, and there is a mystery engraved in her soul that makes people unable to see it, and the closer he gets, the more empty he feels.
The woman in her arms suddenly raised her eyes and looked at herself.
Such a pair of ethereal eyes .......
Zhan Wenlan sighed quietly in the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, it was as if she had been sealed in a layer of beeswax, her senses and intuition were all gone, and she could only feel such a warm woman between her eyes and nose.
Her eyes are never clear and brilliant, like the last light before the darkness, with a peeping mystery, which can make people see hope, but the next moment, as long as a touch, it can disappear in an instant.
For the first time, he noticed that her eyes were not really black, but with a faint light color.
This light color often seems to change with her mood. Sometimes dark as an abyss, sometimes as transparent as a shaoguang, he had even seen a faint golden light flash in her eyes. At that time, he thought he was wrong, but now, he realized that, perhaps, he thought too little.
This Leng Yunxi, this woman who has never protected herself to the bout, may have too many things he doesn't know.
He smiled, gently clasped his palms into her fingers, and lifted their staggered hands to examine them carefully.
His long eyelashes were still drooping, and he looked at it as if he were studying some wonderful thing.
"What did you find?" Yunxi picked up a smile, I don't know why, seeing such a world-famous person so childish, she actually had the urge to laugh in her heart.
"I'm looking at what I'm holding in my hands with you." He looked at her like a student answering a teacher's question, and then answered steadily, not feeling that he was in the slightest wrong.
"Holding what?" She couldn't see what else they could hold in their hands except air. But....... He glanced at his tightly held hand again, in fact, he couldn't even get air in.
He gently pulled her palm in front of him, and slowly, in a rare gesture, leaned over slightly, and imprinted a kiss on the back of her hand very shallowly, "Future." β
Yunxi only felt that the trace of Shinuo on the back of her hand was like a fire, burning up, almost burning her heart.
"What do you mean?"
"No matter what happened before, the future is always in the palm of your hand." He leaned into her ear, ignoring the fact that there were already female staff members behind him looking over with red faces, revealing a rare evil aura: "What's more, you're still holding me, aren't you?" β
Slippery heat sliced past her ears, sending shivers. Yunxi suspected that this person was completely deliberate. But I don't know why, I didn't feel surprised at all when such a person who didn't seem to be vulgar and elegant and noble showed such a look, but was a little relaxed. The evil spirit of wanting to kill people in the cafΓ© just now also calmed down suddenly.
If you say, this person was a Buddha bead in front of the Buddha in his last life. Obviously, with the clearest Buddha nature, sometimes it doesn't feel like that.
What to say about this person?
Yunxi smiled softly.
There is a relaxing and freehand smell.
Qi Zhan, who had been standing beside them and quietly watching this qiΔ, turned around and left with an expressionless face.
Perhaps, it is long overdue to give up....... It's just that it's been so long, why can't I be reluctant, and the bleak smile is gradually pale.
He looked at the group of people who had made a fuss about the sudden disappearance of the bride-to-be, and suddenly felt like a doll, constantly spinning around in an absurd play, never stopping.
"Are you feeling better?" Fifteen minutes later, he took her hand, bare the scenery by the river, greeted the slowly setting sunset, and quietly turned back and smiled at him. It's like spring flowers.
Such a pure smile made Yunxi almost in a trance.
It seems that at this moment, the heavy, rich aura on his body was driven away by this smile, leaving only the person around him full of pampering and care.
"Is there anything you'd like to ask?" She tilted her head to meet the smell of grass in the breeze and smiled at him without any meaning.
Zhan Wenlan looked at her quietly, as if thinking.
How could he not care, no matter how long it was in the past, as long as it happened to this woman, he had infinite curiosity.
Curious?
He asked himself.
No, more than that.
It's not just curiosity. If he was just curious, he wouldn't repeat it like this, it's never been his style.
From the moment she was shot and sent to the hospital, Chen Hao rushed into the ward in a frenzy, his heart was completely out of control.
He believed that everything has a natural law and that everything has a cause and effect.
With her age, qualifications, and life background, why did she get involved with Chen Hao and even Xiao Ran, this question has always bothered him.
Just because he didn't ask didn't mean he wasn't worried and didn't care, but he kept turning a blind eye, and even helped stop the gilt and didn't let her mix. It's not that he has great sentiments, but he knows better than all of them, and if he takes a step forward, perhaps, he can't even control himself.
Just curious? Trick the devil to go.
He damn cares. I realized that if I was not careful, I might not be able to help but lose my mind and do something stupid.
Maybe this is what others call "exclusivity"?
He secretly clasped her palms tightly.
If he saw her alone with a man again, showing that kind of expression that no one could intervene in, he might really go crazy!
"What's wrong?" Yunxi felt that his palms were almost pulled painfully, and seeing him showing such complicated eyes, he couldn't help but turn around and ask him.
"It's almost time to go back."
He shook his head, as if the expression just now was just a whim, gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind, and whispered in her ear with a sigh: "In a few days, we can go abroad together." Yunxi, I've been waiting for this day, I've been waiting for a long time. β
She turned around and looked at him silently, but unexpectedly, a warm heat hit her lips.
This taste, with a strong restraint and cherishment, makes people not want to push away the .......
Situ Bai suddenly ran away from marriage, not to mention that the entire Situ family was up and down, and the Qi family's business here was not much better.
It is a marriage in itself, and most of the relatives and friends invited are distinguished guests who have dealings in the business field, and now a wedding banquet is almost a kick in the door, making such a scandal, even if Qi Zhan has no intention of pursuing it, the two parties are almost torn their faces.
Fortunately, Situ Bai's aunt is still a standable person in the end, with flexible wrists, and her status in the family is extraordinary. In addition to promising the Qi family's relatives and friends that the Situ family would never change the cooperation with Jinfeng Group, he also transferred a considerable part of the funds from the company under his name as the start-up capital for Jinfeng Group's new project this year, breaking the rumor that the Situ family deliberately regretted marriage with practical actions.
In front of all the guests, her face was not red and she was out of breath, indicating that her most pampered Miss Situ was suffering from rare symptoms temporarily, and now she needed to recuperate, and the wedding banquet was postponed and made up in the future.
Although this lie is a bit nondescript, but the face is passable, and the people of the Qi family know that they will accept it when they see it, and they don't ask the bride why she suddenly regretted her marriage at the last moment. The wedding feast was over, and a large number of people were waiting to see the joke. Who knows, one of the parties is more rational than the other.
On one side is the Jiangnan clan, calmly handling large and small incidents, simply and generously, which makes people admire leisurely. On one side is Qi Zhan, Jin Feng's helmsman, who is not chaotic, has clear thinking, and advances and retreats appropriately. As if this wedding banquet was just designed out of thin air, it made many people suspect that this wedding was just an excuse, nothing like that at all, just a cover for the cooperation between the Situ family and the Qi family.
In this way, under the joint efforts of the two families, the guests gradually left the next day, and the discussion was still there, but there was no longer the wait-and-see atmosphere that I found out yesterday that only Sina did not have a bride.
Gilt looked around Yunxi but didn't find a figure, knowing that Qi Zhan was too busy to speak, and dangled around the room alone, hesitating whether to say what he heard before leaving.
She is not familiar with Zhang Han, and when it comes to it, no matter how deep this person's mind is, it has nothing to do with her.
Ke Yunxi once stood on the same front with Zhang Han, and at that time, Xiao Ran was still their common enemy.
Not only Yunxi, I'm afraid the person who trusts Zhang Han the most should be Qi Zhan.
Now, this person they once trusted would stab them in the back at some point, and every time she thought of it, she broke out in a cold sweat behind her back.
Someone suddenly knocked on the door, gilt was stunned, and his first reaction was to look up at the clock.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning, and many of the guests had already dispersed, and it was estimated that Qi Zhan finally remembered her.
She hurried towards the door and opened it directly.
"Qi ......." Before the second word could be spoken, the whole person was completely stuck.
She looked at Zhang Han standing at the door blankly, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make a sound at all.
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" The man in front of him was polite, a gentleman leftist, and even owed slightly, showing a polite smile at her.
Gilded looked at him blankly: "What are you doing here?" β
Zhang Han easily passed past her, stepped into the room in a few steps, and regardless of her stiff expression, he leaned into the sofa in the living room casually: "It's nothing." It's just that I didn't leave, chatted with you, and by the way, taught you a lesson. β
The gilded hand on the handle shook, and turned to look at Zhang Han with a relaxed face: "You know everything?" She didn't understand, obviously she was hiding at the time, how did Zhang Han know that she was the one who eavesdropped?
The next moment, she breathed a little. Remembering a person.
A person who fixed himself in the distance with just one look and didn't dare to move - Xiao Ran.
He smiled back at her, his expression a little unbearable, "I should say, you know everything." β
Yes, she knows. She not only knew that he was Xiao Ran's person, but also knew that he had been hiding from Yunxi and Qi Zhan, perhaps, when Jin Feng was acquired by Xiao Clan, he also contributed a "modest force" .......
Wrong.
She suddenly looked at Zhang Han in surprise: "You don't care if I sue Yunxi at all?" "If he really wanted to shut her mouth, he shouldn't have come to the door now, yesterday was the best time when there was chaos.
"Clever." Zhan Hang whistled: "Guess again, what am I looking for you for." β
Since you don't worry about things being exposed at all, what's the use of looking for her?
The gilt was confused by him, and he only felt that the answer was clearly on his lips, but it disappeared without a trace.
"If Xiao Ran really wants to bring down Jin Feng, he doesn't need me to interfere, he has more methods." After waiting for a long time, seeing that the person in front of him still looked confused, Zhang Han shrugged his shoulders, it seems that not everyone is as shrewd as Leng Yunxi's woman. Now Jin Feng and the Situ family have joined forces and returned to Shanghai, and their financial resources and background are much thicker than they were in Beijing. I just want to see how they are going to sing this play. β
He has stayed by Qi Zhan's side for so long, and he has only seen him go crazy for a woman. The weirdest thing is that he has known Xiao Ran for so long, but he never realized that he would have weaknesses like an ordinary person. The funniest thing is that the weakness of these two people is still the same woman.
He took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and smiled slightly: "You go back and sue SΓΉ Yunxi, I'm looking forward to what she will do next." β
Gilt looked at him in surprise: "You let me sue SΓΉ Yunxi that you are Xiao Ran's person?" β
"Yes." He spit out the circles under his eyes and lazily closed his eyes lazily into the air: "Isn't she going abroad in a few days?" If you don't sue her now, it is estimated that it will be too late. β
Before he could figure out what he meant by "too late", he saw that the man had already pushed the door and left, looking like he was in a hurry to come and go.
It's just that this doubt didn't last long, and she woke up on the day she got off the plane and returned to Beijing.
"What did you say?" She stared blankly at her classmates, her expression a little blank for a moment.
"What's wrong? It's not your family's business, why are you so worried? A classmate from the same department spread the newspaper in front of her: "Look, it's all in the newspaper." This is going to be a big game, Xiao Dashen is actually ready to block all the back roads of Jin Feng, and he will not even let go of retreating to Shanghai. Tsk, this method deserves to be called 'God'. β
The classmates in his ears were still talking about it, but Gilt didn't listen to it at all, and his first instinct was to call Yunxi.
How could it move so fast.
No wonder Zhang Han has no scruples, it turns out that Xiao Gongzi's movements are so fast!
But why? Qi Zhan had obviously let go of Yunxi and planned to marry Situ Bai, why did the Xiao family still chase after him?
The phone was quickly connected, and without giving Yunxi any chance to speak, Gilt told all the conversations between Xiao Ran and Zhang Han that he heard in the corridor that day, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally forget it, and the speed of his speech was amazing. It wasn't until I finished saying that I realized that there was no movement over there.
"Yunxi?" She shouted hesitantly.
"Yes." Faintly, there was a response. There was no joy or anger in his voice.
This reflects the calmness that is surprisingly unusual, but it makes the gilt feel a little weird.
"You're going to do that?" She was a little nervous, and suddenly this kind of thing happened at the stall where Yunxi went abroad, wasn't it an obvious blockage? The day when she and Zhan Wenlan left as exchange students was approaching, but something happened to Qi Zhan's side, how could she be completely relieved. How the hell is going to .......
The five fingers holding the phone stiffened, and she suddenly understood the meaning of the smile that Zhang Han showed when he shrugged his shoulders at her.
It's not that Xiao Ran is capricious and insists on getting along with Qi Zhan. Instead, he was ready to stir up Huang Yunxi and Zhan Wenlan's ...... studying abroad.
