Chapter 170: Farewell
I met his gaze, and there was a breathtaking suffocating sparkle in his eyes, so pure that it seemed like a single hand could touch the soul.
I couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll just accept your sincere thank you." β
He stared silently, his smile deepening.
"It's just that it's a pity for that profiteer...... "I flattened my mouth, unwillingly.
Shang Jingyi chuckled, "Don't worry, it won't." β
I don't understand.
He slowed his tone, as if patiently guided, "Do you think there was anything wrong with the time you revealed that the 'crystal' was a fake, and the time Nicholas disposed of David, the custodian of the auctioned item?" β
"There's something wrong," I bowed, "I also think that the process itself is full of loopholes, not to mention that David alone a small manager would not have the ability to steal a sky-high treasure from the world, and as far as Nicholas's own performance at the time is concerned, it is not very natural, it should be said that his acting skills are not superb." Including after the incident, Nicholas did not give David time to explain, as if he was in a hurry to convict David......"
"Yes, I'm sure we're not the only ones who noticed his eagerness." Shang Xinyu narrowed his eyes and asked instead, "Do you know who participated in the auction that day?" β
I stared and asked.
"Nicholas traveled extensively, and he usually made friends with people of high status, and the auction brought together almost half of Europe's business and political leaders," he said slowly. "It can be said that none of the people present were simple people, those who were accustomed to seeing open and secret rivalries. A trick to abandon the car to protect the handsome, do you think they can't see it? β
I came to understand, "You're saying that even if they didn't react at the time, it doesn't mean they won't be suspicious. β
"Yes." The corners of his lips twitched, "It won't be long before the potential effects of this matter will be revealed." Those regulars of Nicholas's auctions, those with whom he had a deep cooperation, would have been more or less defensive about him. β
I smiled. "Not bad. Self-inflicted consequences...... This ending is even more interesting than debunking him in public. β
The bright light fell into his eyes, melting away the warm pampering, "So." It's really worthy of our little weaving. Clever and decisive, he raised his eyebrows ...... a deep meaning, "It does have the style of fighting with me desperately back then." β
I glanced at him, and with the memories of the past came an inevitable embarrassment, "You also said that as soon as this kind of violence came out, my originally quiet and beautiful public image was disillusioned overnight......" I pouted, "If anything, anything that involves you will become a black history that I can't look back on." β
But he was smiling heartily. "How good, if the whole world thinks that Xiao Ruori is violent and barbaric. No one would dare to ask for you. β
I rolled my eyes, ignoring him.
The moment my eyes were turned away, on the dance floor, the figures of Si Tianzhe and Anna that I accidentally touched made my vision stagnate, and I subconsciously lowered my eyes and avoided the strange appearance in my eyes for a moment.
"Of course, even without this, you will inevitably become the focus of the major media competition......" Shang Xinyu has already suppressed the tone of schadenfreude and turned serious, "from the moment he is determined to accept his family identity, he is destined to get used to these so-called unusual, and the absolute attention that is always in the spotlight, is inevitable." β
His tone was like a sigh, and I looked at him, my eyes softening inexplicably.
Under his bright side face, the sense of emptiness that is clearly difficult to hide is overflowing layer by layer with the poignant music at this moment.
Why is it that tonight will make people feel unwarranted sadness?
"Ruori, I'...... I'm going to be away for a while in the near future. He said suddenly.
"Where to go?" I reflexively answered, with an unconscious eagerness, and for some reason, what he intuitively meant by "a period of time" didn't seem to be that simple.
"Something happened in the family, I'm going back to deal with it." He replied casually.
I hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's not easy, is it?" β
He was silent.
"So, is it dangerous?"
He looked at me, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, revealing a different meaning, "What, I'm already touching Xiao Ruori's heart like this?" β
"Discussion." I kept my voice down, reluctant to joke with him.
He was not in the slightest affected by my serious tone, and the smile evident at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes seemed to please him with my worries at this time.
"As long as you're going to strain me, even if it's a little bit." There was a different kind of softness in his eyes, and his light words seemed to be speaking to me, as if he were talking to himself.
I lowered my eyebrows, and my heart was slightly sour.
He picked at the corners of his lips to himself, but he didn't smile at all, "Don't worry, someone is just trying to make some small moves, and these are not enough for me to take seriously." β
I have already guessed that this matter may be more or less inseparable from Zosi.
"That ......" was about to speak, but he interrupted him.
"Next time I come back, will I give you a Christmas present?" Shang Xun blinked.
"Huh?"
He smiled, "Originally, I was a little worried about Koruori if I left, but ......" He raised his gaze and looked somewhere in the hall, "There is a Patronus who can be by your side all the time, so I don't have to worry." β
I tilted my head, puzzled, "What patronus?" β
"Don't tell me that you think it's all a coincidence, you can always come like a god when you're in danger." His gaze is like everything, so that he can take a moment's time.
My mind was slightly confused, and I couldn't help but hide my gaze, and I deliberately downplayed the direction in his words, "Accidental or coincidental, he is not my patron saint now." β
"You said the third-rate starlet next to him?" Shang Xingyi raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of Si Tianzhe and Anna, "Even so, Ruori, you don't think it's rude for the protagonist of the drinking party to attend alone without a dance partner, right?" β
I was silent.
He smiled playfully, and the end was lightly picked, "Don't worry, he can't escape your charm, just like he can't escape his own heart, stay ......" and whispered, "You are destined to become someone else's fetters." β
"Tsk," I shook my head, "this kind of slander is really unacceptable." β
Unfortunately, my skill in avoiding the important was clumsy, and my jokes were not clever, and he did not answer, but looked at me with a gaze that stripped away all concealment, and my thoughts and thoughts could not be hidden under such eyes.
After a while, he sighed softly, "It's over." β
My mind sank, and I immediately understood the meaning of his words.
Sure enough, he slowly let go of my hand, and the strength of his grip on my waist also loosened.
"Goodbye, Ruori."
Just these few words suddenly deepened the concentration around me, and the sad tune fell into my eyes, which was strong for a while.
Eventually, farewell.
It's like who wrote the whole piece of music, but left no trace in the payment.
I wanted to say goodbye to him, but I couldn't say a word.
He took a deep look at me, turned around, stepped into the dancing crowd, put his hands in his pockets, and after a few steps, he turned back again, hooked his lips again and left me with a smile, and disappeared from my faint sight.
