Chapter 15: Temptation
The room was quiet.
Shu'er sat on the couch with a book in her hand, and for hours she barely made a sound except for the occasional sound of paper flipping over.
Willow retracted his gaze, this woman is very smart, people in an unfamiliar environment, quiet is sometimes the best way to protect yourself. In the past few days, she ate and slept on time, flipped through books and magazines during the day, except for leaving a lamp every night, and her silent Buddha was oblivion.
She never asked who he was, and she seemed to have forgotten the deal between themβof course, he knew, and she hadn't.
He has seen the information collected by Chu Chu, about this eldest lady of the Nan family, a few thin pieces of paper, except for the marriage between the eldest young lady of the Nan family and the celebrity Lu Xue more than ten years ago, which led countless people to guess the truth and no one knows the truth so far, her life is as simple as boiled water, and it is so mediocre that it is boring.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Shu'er looked up from the book and asked Willow with his eyes.
"It's okay, it's my man."
As soon as the words fell, the door had been opened, and a tall man walked in, with dark brown hair and a slight natural curl with skin belonging to the Middle East.
When the visitor saw the woman on the sofa, he didn't seem surprised, but her expression was a little abnormal, and she thought that there was something important.
"Sino, what's the matter?" Closing the Wen JiΓ n folder in his hand, Willow asked lightly.
Instead of answering, Sino looked at Shu'er and asked what he wanted, and Shu'er looked puzzled and smiled apologetically, indicating that he didn't understand what he was saying.
Sino is a Saudi, and speaks standard Arabic.
"Excuse me, miss, excuse me, you can continue reading." Seeing that she didn't understand, Sino hurriedly said in English.
The book bowed, smiled politely, and then his gaze fell back to the book.
Willow narrowed his eyes, and a slender touch of love slipped over his eyes.
Sino walked over to Willow's desk and scooped out a paper-like item from his bag, which looked old, the paper had turned yellow, and the corners were worn with different degrees, and the words on it were crooked, like some kind of ancient writing.
"Willow, I scooped it, this is from the hands of the tomb robbers, it is the oldest document." Sino paused, "It's just that these words are not only old, but also very rare, and there are probably only a handful of people in the world who can translate them. β
"There will always be people who can read and understand, so there is no need to worry." Willow scooped the thing into his hand, looked at it carefully, and said lightly, "Put the thing here, let Chu Chu contact the relevant experts." β
"Okay, I got it." Sino's expression was stern, he turned to look at the sofa in the living room, and frowned, "Willow, Duke Nan has increased the intensity of the search, Nan Senye has personally gone out, almost all of London is under the detection of the Southern Emperor Army, even if we can hide her for the time being, how can we take her out of London at that time?" β
"What's more, since you plan to befriend the Nan family, why hide her? Isn't this a clear enmity of their enemies? β
"I'm interested in her." Opened the drawer of the desk, put the things in his hand inside, his handsome face was a casual smile, he glanced at Sino, who was frowning and expressing his incomprehension, and smiled softly, "You have to believe in science - genetics should tell you that genes will be inherited, the Nan family was famous and powerful, and he was a proud figure of the sky, and the daughter of the Lu family is a legend of the peerless generation in the entertainment industry, how can their daughter be so wasted that it can only be used to give away." β
"What's more, the so-called aristocracy is inevitably a struggle for power and profit, Nan Shu'er is the most orthodox granddaughter of the Duke family, one has no protection from her parents, and the other is not the favor of Duke Nan, if you are less smart, you won't be able to live now, let alone escape from the Nan family."
"However, there are rumors in the Nan family that Nan Senye likes her and has been helping her openly or secretly since she was very young."
Willow sneered, his gaze looked past Sino to the woman on the sofa in the distance, there was no love in his blue eyes, Nan Shu'er was quiet, and the Buddha was isolated from this world.
"A person like Nan Sen Ye, if he really loves a woman, he won't let you hear such rumors."
Sino was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what do you want to do?" β
"I have my own plans."
Sino made a helpless expression, he had known this man for more than ten years, and he still couldn't guess his mind at all.
"Then I'll go back to Riyadh first, and you can call me if there's something."
"Miss Nan," until Sino closed the door, and Willow got up, scooped out a bottle of red wine from the wine rack on the wall, and said slowly, "Do you really not know Arabic?" β
Shu'er looked up and smiled lightly, "Mr. Winke, do you understand, is there any difference?" β
Blue eyes slid over a smile, raised his hand, and the red liquid flowed steadily into the tall wine glass, "There are rumors in the Nan family that Nan Senye is in love with the eldest lady of the Nan family, I don't know if it's true?" β
The investigation is really clear, I am afraid that even in the Nan family, only a few people have heard such rumors. There are so many people who know something that it seems fake.
"It's not."
"I don't think so." Willow touched his chin, "If you were his woman, you wouldn't have fallen to this point." β
Shu'er lowered his eyes when he heard this, and he didn't say anything again for a long time.
"Miss Nan, with all due respect, I would like to know that if it weren't for Bruno, would you have obeyed the family's arrangement to marry Abram and be a noble lady in peace?"
According to the information collected by Chu Chu, Nan Xiaoran's mother, who is also the second daughter-in-law of Duke Nan, has always been very bad to this eldest lady who has no parents in private.
This woman seemed to be very tolerant, he didn't understand that it was fear, there was something tenacious and fearless in her eyes, however, he didn't feel a resentful feeling in her, and the most he could do to the Nan family was indifference.
In a certain sense, those who can endure are terrible, such as himself.
"Is this what Mr. Wink wants to say?" Shu'er looked at him for a while, and his warm gaze looked directly into the depths of his blue eyes, "Mr. Winke, just like you, but this will not apply to everyone, just like me, my patience or intolerance is just to survive." β
"The man I don't love will never marry, no matter what it is for."
