Chapter 23 (2)
He finally walked over and stood in front of her.
His tall figure completely enveloped her, looking at her.
He asked, "Didn't you say you don't have to come back when?" β
Jingyi hung her head, and came over for a while before saying, "I'm ......"
She looked up at him. When he saw her, the expression on his face did not change, and there was scrutiny in his eyes, which made her feel like she had been pierced in the heart.
She clasped her hands and asked, "Aren't you welcoming me back?" Da"
Tao Xiang said: "It depends on why you came back." As he spoke, he took the cigarette case back and smoked one. Glancing at her as he lit the cigaretteβa shadow flickered across her face, and a spark flashed in her eyeβhe took a drag on his cigarette, "Welcome, Mrs. Tao." β
He paced two steps, passed her, and sat down.
Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang.
His tone was light, his face was also light, and he seemed to have a little smile, and the more he did, the more he felt cold.
Tao Xiang smoked a cigarette and waited for Jing Yi to answer him.
Her snow-white face was in front of him, and her smooth forehead was as smooth as the full moonlight...... She remained silent, standing quietly, looking at him.
"Makiyuki, how about we talk in a different place?" Jingyi asked softly.
His deep and spacious office made her feel like a vastness. He was obviously not far from her, but he had a feeling that he couldn't touch it.
"Here it is. I'm busy today. Tao Xiang said.
Seeing that he refused, Jingyi was silent.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly change your mind when you were going to stay in Nanjing and never return?" Tao Xiang asked.
Jing Yi expected him to ask, and whispered, "I don't plan to stay and not return, I just want to stay a little longer." β
"If it weren't for the emergency, you could have stayed a little longer." Tao Xiang said.
Jingyi's heart sank, and the person also sank.
Before she saw him, she thought that she would tell him all those words when she met. Just like she did with her father and brothers, it wasn't that even yelling. But she was speechless. She looked at his face and was not happy to see her...... She couldn't say it.
Suddenly I wanted to hug him and cry.
Tao Xiang looked at her face. It seems that I haven't rested well during this time, and I don't know if it's because I've cried, and my eyes are a little puffy.
"Don't you want to talk to me? Why don't you open your mouth? Can't speak? Or let me guess what you want to say......" Tao Xiang stretched out his legs. It looks like a very comfortable position. He looked at her with a slight smile, "Since Nanjing has been reported, you must already know that Dai Mengyuan has been arrested." Not only was he arrested, but many people were implicated. Needless to say, his work partner Fei Faxian also has Ren Xiufang and Zhao Shimin. Fei Faxian's accident affected her father Fei Yuming...... Fei Yuming was implicated, and Cheng Zhichen's abacus failed. Cheng Zhichen's abacus failed, and Cheng Zhishen's little money stuck in the Tao family was useless. Not only this case, but I am afraid that Cheng Zhishen is now anxious to deal with a group of difficult depositors. If you are not careful, the Cheng family's foundation for many years has to be thrown in. At this time, how can you not come back? Come back and talk to me, that's as it should be. Tao Xiang's tone was unfazed.
He was indeed such a man. No matter what kind of turbulent waves are in my heart, when I come to my face, it is already calm.
She watched what had happened in the past few days, her father and the ninth brother were waiting for her, and in his place, two major events were planned, only more tired, but he could tease her so easily.
It's chilling.
She whispered, "Makiyuki, this method is despicable. β
Tao Xiang sat on the sofa and looked at her gaze, like a sword, which could penetrate her body.
He also whispered: "It shouldn't be worse than the people of the Cheng family." β
Jing Yi looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.
"You're coming back to scold me for being despicable?" Tao Xiang leaned down, leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and asked lazily. "It's so fresh, you came back in a hurry, and it was just for this? You shouldn't beg me to let Dai Mengyuan go, shouldn't you beg me to stop? β
Jingyi whispered, "I beg you." β
Tao Xiang looked at her.
She said again clearly: "I beg you." β
"Why?" He asked.
His hand on the sofa, the cigarette between his fingers, was burning.
Jingyi did not answer Tao Xiang's question. Yes, why, why did she let him go against his will and release Dai Mengyuan, the person who seemed to him to be a rebel and a thief? Why did she let him stop and stop him from retrieving what was rightfully his?
"Why are you?" Tao Xiang asked.
Jing Yi turned her face.
"Muzhi, when you were in Tiger Leaping Gorge, when you ventured out on an expedition, did you think about why you wanted to go? If you are not in your position, no one will blame you for not doing your job. But you went anyway. Whether you are selfish or not, you have avenged your eldest brother and won back face for the Tao family...... You said that if something happens to you, your brothers will avenge you...... Makiyuki, that's my brothers, I don't have any other choice. You can not stop, I can't help but do my best. Her voice was as thin as a fragile thread.
She got off the plane and rushed over without a moment's delay.
knew that it was not appropriate to come directly to the headquarters to see him, but she really couldn't delay time.
She had to race against the clock. And she was also afraid to enter the gate of the Tao family like that, waiting for her was a deep and dark shackle, maybe she would never get out again...... And more likely, he didn't want to go back to see her immediately.
Without seeing him, she didn't even have a chance to say these words. Or rather, he didn't even have a chance to be humiliated by him.
"As for Dai Mengyuan...... Muzhi, I have no selfish feelings for him. If so, he always thinks he doesn't deserve to die. If there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to do my best to save his and Fei Faxian's lives. What I did wrong was that I shouldn't have hidden it from you, and I almost caught you in injustice. I can't argue with that. I don't know what you think of them...... Or, to give an inappropriate example. Kim Yun-ki and Shunsuke Nakamura also took the opportunity of traveling to visit friends in Xinjiang, not only trying to help the Japanese establish contact with the rebels, but also waiting for opportunities to steal information. True, her operation was crushed by your intelligence agencies and did not succeed. But you also let her go...... Can you tell me why? Jing Yi's voice became softer and thinner.
Tao Xiang threw the cigarette in his hand at his feet, stepped on his leather boots, and the smoke went out.
He looked into Jingyi's eyes and said, "Good, Jingyi." You should know not to provoke me when you ask me. β
Jing Yi's heart suddenly became half cold.
"Let go of Dai Mengyuan, it's impossible." Tao Xiang said. He stood up, didn't look at her, and said, "Jin Runqi and Dai Mengyuan are by no means the same. β
Jing Yi's gaze followed him up, lifted up, and looked into his eyes.
"The Tao family and the Cheng family, you can only choose one identity. If you are by my side, you cannot have two hearts. If you can't, don't blame me for being ruthless. Tao Xiang said.
He gave her an ultimatum to make a choice.
He looked at Jingyi, her eyes full of sadness...... Strangely enough, there is no anger and unwillingness, but sadness.
His brow furrowed.
"I'm pregnant." Jingyi said softly.
He stood there, as if he had not heard clearly, had not moved, and had not even looked still.
Her heart slowed down and she whispered, "I'm pregnant......"
She looked down and looked for something in her handbag, and after picking it up for a long time, her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't find it...... His eyes were sour and hot, and he thought about how he would tell Tao Xiang the news countless times, but he never thought that it would be in such a situation.
She looked up and saw that he had come to her.
"How long?" He asked.
"Probably...... Two months. She took a deep breath as Tao Xiang had already picked her up. Her body was tightly bound by him, and it was as if her waist was about to be broken by him. "Be lighter."
Sure enough, his arm loosened, and her heart let go.
She suddenly felt as if she had come across a piece of driftwood after a long time at sea. She could hold on to her and catch her breath...... She felt like crying.
"When did you find out?" He hugged her in front of him.
She froze.
"Was it just now?" He thought of something and asked.
She closed her eyes and said nothing.
Tao Xiang's arm loosened an inch, leaned back slightly, and asked, "Answer me, was it just now?" β
Her lips quivered, and her lips were red...... Cherry-like. He put his hands on her, wrapped his arms around her, and asked, "Was it just now?" β
She endured the pain, tears in her eyes.
He moved his hand away and stared at her.
A pair of eyes on her pale face were dark, and the rouge mole on her forehead had faded a little, as if she was afraid of him.
He was furious and roared through gritted teeth, "How dare you lie to me with this!" β
Jingyi pounced in front of Tao Xiang, "Muzhi, listen to me!" β
Tao Xiang pushed Jingyi out fiercely. She didn't stand still, fell to the ground, and then struggled over and hugged him.
He kicked her away and watched her roll on the carpet.
Jingyi only felt that she couldn't get up in one breath, and she couldn't move for a long time. Seeing that the black and slippery leather boots on his feet were close at hand, she didn't know where the pain was on her body, as if she was kicked by him, and the bones of her whole body were broken...... She grabbed his boots and said, "Makinoyuki, you listen to me finish talking......
Tao Xiang looked at her snow-white hands, clutching his boots and turning blue.
"I didn't lie to you! You let go, and from now on, I ...... Never leave you again. She choked up and looked up at his lowered eyes.
Tao Xiang stretched out his hand to pick her up, and in front of her face, he said word by word: "I left room to give you a chance." Now it seems that I have relented for a while, and I have connived at you to be so presumptuous. Since this is the case, I hereby order that Dai Mengyuan and his comrades be immediately executed; If you don't crush the Cheng family, you won't give up. β
Tao Xiang let go of his hand, and Jing Yi fell to the ground.
She looked at the scattered things in her hand, and suddenly grabbed her handbag and pulled out her pistol.
Tao Xiang watched her hold the gun, expertly loaded the bullet, stood up and pointed the gun at him.
All the action, all in one go.
Tao Xiang's eyes darkened a little, and he said, "When did this happen, you made the gun so good." β
Jing Yi's hands were shaking, and he could tell that she was nervous.
"You did that." Tao Xiang said, taking a step forward. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at his eyebrows, and Jingyi did not retreat. "You can lie to me for the sake of Dai Mengyuan; For the sake of your Cheng family, can you kill me? β
"Nope." Jing Yi turned the muzzle of the gun violently, aimed it at his temple, and said, "This time, I didn't lie to you. β
"It's late." Tao Xiao didn't say any extra words, and quickly raised his arm to knock on Jing Yi's elbow, Jing Yi only felt that his arm was numb, and the pistol was instantly taken off, and Tao Xiang held it in his hand, and fired a shot into the sky, with a loud bang, and the door was kicked open.
"Seven less!" Li Dalong and Ma Xingjian both came in and were startled by the scene in front of them.
Tao Xiang didn't stop.
Immediately after that, there was a loud bang, and all the bullets in the pistol shot into the crystal lamp on the roof. The copper chain used to hang was broken, and the crystal lamp fell with a bang, shattering the ground.
In the midst of the flying chips, Jing Yi and Tao Xiang remained immovable.
Tao Xiang looked at Jing Yi, who was pale, and said, "Pass my order to shoot Dai Mengyuan immediately." β
"Makiyuki!" Jingyi exclaimed.
"Yes, Seven Less!" Ma Xingjian and Li Dalong were ordered to retreat and close the door.
Tao Xiang couldn't help but look at Jingyi, who was trembling.
She looked terrible, as if she didn't know which direction she was going, but she just wanted to get out of this place quickly...... He stood in her way.
Jingyi pushed Tao Xiang who was blocking in front of him, but was blocked by Tao Xiang.
She struggled to break free.
"You let me go......" she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Tao Xiang turned her body, let her look at herself, and said, "You listen to me, if you want to collect his body, I can also fulfill your ......"
His cruelty and coldness stared into her eyes.
Jingyi trembled.
"But if you think clearly, once you take this step, there's no going back." After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted her cold cheek.
Jingyi's face is colorless.
She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say it, and the person fell straight in front of Tao Xiang...... When Tao Xiang hugged her, he found that her body was soft and her forehead was hot.
The situation seemed familiar, and suddenly he was stabbed in the heart with something.
