As soon as Bai Muqing showed her face at the banquet, she disappeared, and most of the guests did not see her.

If so, the men and women at the banquet were talking again. They were all curious about why Nangong Chen had already married his wife, but he didn't see his wife attending the banquet together.

There are even some women who guess the possibility to the original point again, whether Nangong Chen's new wife is still alive, whether she has not survived as rumored.

Nangong Chen didn't feel it for other people's discussions, but he just didn't bother to respond.

Gradually, Mayor Feng also felt something, although he was dissatisfied with this criticism, but it was difficult to say anything. After thinking about it, I finally came up with a solution.

When he took the stage to speak, he thanked Nangong Chen and his wife by name for their arrival, and took the initiative to invite the little couple to the stage to accompany him to cut the cake together.

The audience applauded thunderously, and everyone's eyes converged on Nangong Chen, who was sitting in the first row.

Nangong Chen didn't expect Mayor Feng to come to this trick. His brows furrowed slightly, and a touch of embarrassment welled up in his heart. He hadn't seen his little wife all night, so where would he go to find her?

Originally, he didn't care, anyway, it's not that he hasn't been discussed, and it's hard for anyone to say whether it's true or not. Now, with Mayor Feng's kind invitation, the whole audience will see the scene of him alone.

He hesitated for a moment before he stood up from the applause and walked to the stage.

When Mayor Feng saw him coming up alone, the expression on his face changed, and he leaned over him and asked, "Chen Shao, where is your wife?" ”

"She was a little uncomfortable and left first." Nangong Chen said with a light smile.

"Huh?" Mayor Feng was stunned, why didn't anyone tell him that Young Lady Nangong had withdrawn before? Dare to love him, this move is doing bad things with good intentions.

"Thank you, Mayor Feng, for your kindness. I wish you a blessed East China Sea. ”

Mayor Feng smiled a little embarrassedly, feeling so guilty that he wanted to hit the wall. He picked up the microphone and said to the guests: "Everyone, Young Lady Nangong left the venue early because she was unwell, so let Chen Shao help me cut this cake today." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately became discussed.

Nangong Chen could even hear someone say: "Look, I'll just say that the rumors are true, that woman is dead, and she was secretly dealt with by the Nangong family like those women before." ”

"Oh my God, it's pathetic." Another voice said.

Nangong Chen's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and he cut the cake with a smile and Mayor Feng.

On the surface, he didn't care, but he had already hated Bai Muqing thoroughly in his heart, this woman was really bold, and she dared to sneak away in the banquet?

Didn't she know that the outside world was staring at her. Waiting to see her jokes? Didn't she know what this feast meant to him and to her?

After getting off the stage, he walked to the terrace, dialed Assistant Yan's phone, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go and help me find out where that woman died?" ”

"Which woman?" Assistant Yan didn't react for a while.

"What other woman would dare to go wild under my nose?" Nangong Chen was extremely annoyed when he said this.

That's right, what other woman would dare to ignore him and leave him happy with herself? It seems that he has been too good to her recently, so he will indulge her to lawlessness.

Women can't be petted, and it's easy to be spoiled and spoiled. That's right!

Assistant Yan was about to hang up the phone, but Nangong Chen suddenly stopped: "Wait." ”

"What else? Chenless. ”

"By the way, find out the whereabouts of Lin Annan." He said.

I didn't see Lin Annan's whereabouts in the banquet hall tonight, which was unreasonable and instinctive. So he connected the two of them together.

********

Coming out of the banquet at ten o'clock, Nangong Chen happened to receive a call from Assistant Yan, telling him that Bai Muqing was by the river.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he asked indifferently: "With whom?" ”

"I only saw the young lady alone." Assistant Yan asked, "Chen Shao, do you want to send her to the venue now." ”

Hearing that Bai Muqing was alone by the river, the anger in Nangong Chen's heart was slightly reduced, as long as she was not with Lin Annan, she still had a chance to live.

"No, I'll go by myself." With that, he strode towards the parking lot.

After sending Xiaolin away, Nangong Chen personally drove the car to the riverside.

Although the road along the river is very long, because the night is already deep, there are few pedestrians on it. From a distance, Nangong Chen saw that familiar figure.

He braked the car on the side of the road and lowered the window.

This woman is really dead, on such a cold day, she actually came to the river to blow the wind without even adding a coat, doesn't she feel cold?

Her coat was left in the car before entering the venue, and it will still sit in the back of the car. Nangong Chen, who was just angry, did not take her coat out of the car, but got out of the car alone, and strode towards her after slamming the car door hard.

Bai Muqing, who was immersed in sadness and remorse, couldn't feel cold at all, nor could she feel that someone was approaching behind her. Ever since she left the orphanage and came here, the tears on her face have dried up and dredged.

She even forgot that she was out for a banquet tonight, and that she was still wearing a sexy dress.

Nangong Chen stood behind her and shouted at her back without concealing his anger: "Bai Ying'an! When will you learn to be a normal person? ”

Bai Muqing's body stiffened, it was Nangong Chen! How did he get here?

Yes, tonight was his first time at a banquet, but he left him alone at the venue. Thinking about this, Bai Muqing felt a touch of shame in her heart, but compared with Xiao Li's death, she still paid more attention to the latter.

She wiped the tears from her face, but looked back in shame.

Nangong Chen saw that she didn't care about herself, and the fire in her heart burned even more, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Have you watched too many movies and thought that every ordinary woman can use rude, ignorant but cute stupid ways to impress the hearts of rich men?" I'm telling you, it's just a movie, and no man in reality likes such a self-righteous woman. If you still have a little shame, quickly put away this boring little trick, because no matter how much you pretend, you can't get rid of the shameless brand of marrying into the Nangong family for money! ”

"I order you, come over to me right now!" Nangong Chen finally spit out a sentence.

Bai Muqing was sitting under the guardrail by the river, and Nangong Chen was three or four meters away from her, which happened to be a pedestrian passageway.

Seeing that she still didn't mean to move, Nangong Chen was completely annoyed by the ground, and stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed her arm with his big palm and dragged it up: "I called you up, can't you hear me?" ”

His strength was infinite, and Bai Muqing was pulled from the floor by him in an instant.

Under the dim street lamp, Nangong Chen saw that her little pale face was almost drowned in tears.

Her face was pale, her arms were cold, and the shoes on her feet were missing. Knowing that this might be her little ploy to attract his attention, he was stunned for a moment, and instinctively spit out: "What's wrong with you?" "The female chronicler is a long bus.

Bai Muqing didn't know if her last tears were because of Xiao Li or because of his words, in fact, Nangong Chen was right, she was originally married for money, and she was not qualified to get his favor at all, and she shouldn't lose her heart because of his words.

She originally wanted to wipe away her tears and obediently return to Nangong's house with him. But when he raised his teary eyes, he choked up uncontrollably at him and said, "Little grain is dead...... ”

Nangong Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, Xiao Li died? How so?

When he was in Yancheng a few days ago, he heard her tell him excitedly that Xiao Li's operation was successful and would not leave sequelae.

He didn't pay much attention to that child, but he knew that Bai Muqing had always loved him like a younger brother, was that why she cried so sadly?

"I shouldn't have advocated for his operation, I killed his ......." Knowing that Nangong Chen didn't care about Xiao Li's affairs, Bai Muqing couldn't help but cry to him, because Nangong Chen was the only one standing by her side tonight, and there was no second person who could make her cry except for him.

"So you left me behind despite the fact that you were at a banquet?" Nangong Chen's big palm was still clasped on her arm, and although her tone was somewhat softened, it was still full of displeasure.

Bai Muqing stopped crying slightly, lowered her head and let him teach her a lesson.

"Do you know what other people say? Everyone can't see you, and they're all speculating that you might have been killed by me. At the mention of this, Nangong Chen couldn't help but be annoyed.

originally deliberately took her to the banquet hall to show her face, just to dispel the public's speculation, but she actually disappeared after playing with him?

"I'm sorry." Bai Muqing snorted and said apologetically: "Just now, I went crazy as soon as I heard the news of Xiao Li's death, so I left the banquet hall without considering your feelings at all. ”

She knew how terrible people's words were, especially against Nangong Chen, and she also knew that Nangong Chen would definitely feel uncomfortable after hearing those discussions.

Seem...... It's always her causing trouble for him, bringing trouble.

No wonder he had just said those words, and he would have felt that she was using these abnormal methods to attract his attention.

After being silent for a while, she suddenly raised her little face and stared at him worriedly, "What should I do then?" Are you going to make headlines again tomorrow? ”

"Who knows." Nangong Chen was not angry.

"I'm sorry......." She lowered her head again, like a child who had done something wrong.

Nangong Chen looked at her like this, and couldn't get out of the fire in her heart, and looked down at her bare feet: "Where are your shoes?" ”

"I ......." Bai Muqing's toes retracted, and her voice whispered: "I just fell into the water." ”

"It's such a big person, you can fall into the water with a shoe." Nangong Chen glanced at her reproachfully: "Look at your current image, do you still look like a woman?" ”

Bai Muqing was so disgusted by him, she unconsciously hugged her arms with both hands, and glanced down at herself only to find that she was really bad at this time.

The skirt on his body was crumpled and dirty, and his shoes didn't know where to go, needless to say, the hairstyle on his head must have been messed up by the river breeze.

A gust of wind blew, and she unconsciously shrank her body, and she finally felt cold after recovering from the sadness of Xiao Li's death.

On such a cold day, she only wore a skirt and swayed by the river, no wonder the kind-hearted crowd just asked her if there was something she couldn't think of.

She embarrassed Nangong Chen again, it's really sad!

At this time, even if Nangong Chen was so angry that he strangled her to death, it was not an exaggeration at all.

"I'm sorry......." She guiltily said a third sorry to him.

The originally cold body suddenly warmed up, Bai Muqing was stunned for a moment and then raised her head in surprise, and after seeing the deep wool collar windbreaker on her body, she looked at Nangong Chen in front of her.

It's his clothes!

Not only did he not strangle her to death in anger, but instead put his clothes on her to keep her warm, not to mention such an unreasonable thing, even Nangong Chen himself felt that he was not like her.

She was to blame for making such a mess of herself, and he would pity her when he saw her shivering, and take off her clothes to put on.

"Get in the car." Nangong Chen threw down this sentence indifferently, turned around and took the lead in the direction of the car.

Although his attitude was still cold, Bai Muqing's heart was warm, and he tightened the windbreaker on his body and quickly kept up with his pace.

After getting into the car, Bai Muqing said to him gratefully: "Thank you." ”

Nangong Chen ignored her, started the car and drove in the direction of home.

********

Probably because the wind was blowing by the river for too long, Bai Muqing began to sneeze non-stop the next day.

It's hard to take medicine when she is pregnant, so she can only keep drinking water, hoping that she can get better quickly by relying on boiled water to detoxify.

Worried about the old lady's blame, she didn't even dare to let the second person know about her cold, and lied that she was too sleepy and kept hiding in the bedroom.

Today is the weekend, Nangong Chen doesn't have to go to work, and when he was eating breakfast, he was wondering that the old lady not only didn't lose her temper as before when Bai Muqing didn't come down for breakfast, but she didn't even have a word of reproach.

After breakfast, Nangong Chen pushed the door and walked in after a little hesitation when he passed by Bai Muqing's bedroom.

Bai Muqing was originally sitting on the edge of the bed and drawing, but when she heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately threw the pencil in her hand, turned around and climbed onto the bed to cover the quilt and pretend to sleep.

Nangong Chen pushed open the door and just saw the scene where she covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes.

Habitually frowning, he walked to her bed and stood still, and said coldly: "Don't pretend, get up for me." ”

It turned out to be him? Bai Muqing rolled her eyes speechlessly, and at the same time turned over from the bed and sat up, and muttered in a low voice as she walked back to the easel: "Why don't you say a word when you enter the door, I thought it was Sister He...... Sneeze ....... ”

She sneezed at the right time, copied a piece of paper and twisted her nose.

"Have you taken any medicine?" When Nangong Chen saw her like this, she knew that she must have a cold, and the cold wind that blew all night in her skirt was strange.

"Eat." Bai Muqing said nonsense casually.

"I'll take some medicine."

Bai Muqing was stunned, and raised her little face to stare at him in surprise, wasn't she? When did he become so concerned about himself? Do you even care about what medicine to take?

"Uh......." What to do? She hadn't taken any medicine at all, and she didn't even know where the medicine box was.

"You didn't eat it, did you?" Nangong Chen clasped his hands around his chest, with the expression of a judge: "Miss Bai, do you remember what kind of woman I hated the most?" ”

"Full of lies." Bai Muqing lowered her head: "I'm sorry...... I couldn't swallow the pill, so I ....... However, I have drunk a lot of plain water, and I believe it will get better soon. ”

"Lots and lots of plain water are not as useful as pills, you should know that I can't catch a cold, do you want to pass the germs to me?" Nangong Chen said and walked back to the cabinet, took out a box of cold spirit tablets from it and threw it into her arms.

"I ...... No. Bai Muqing began to feel a little anxious.

She knows that Nangong Chen can't catch a cold, and if she catches a cold, she is easy to get sick, but she is a pregnant woman, and it is still a critical period for the baby's development, so she can't take Western medicine at all, what should I do?

"No, just take the medicine quickly!" Nangong Chen's tone was serious.

"I ...... I really can't eat it...... What I'm most afraid of is swallowing pills...... ”

"Do I want me to feed you?"

"It's not." Although Bai Muqing replied like this, she still didn't make the action of taking the pill, Nangong Chen took a step forward and snatched the pill back from her hand, and then opened the box and pulled out a few pills from it.

He was approaching her with boiled water in one hand and a pill in the other.

Bai Muqing took a step back, took a second step, and was finally forced into a corner by her. She kept shaking her head, her tone changing from resistance to pleading: "No...... I don't eat...... I don't eat when I die. ”

Nangong Chenhe, who has always been domineering, has been resisted like this, and his heart is unpleasant, and the ** who conquered her has become more and more intense.

Besides, things have developed to such a point, if he suddenly compromises, then what majesty will he have in front of this woman in the future?

"Do you even eat or not?"

"I really can't eat ......." Bai Muqing was about to cry, because she knew Nangong Chen, as long as it was something he decided, no one could change it, and if she continued to resist, she would only anger him.

Nangong Chen was really angry, put the water cup in his hand on the table next to him, clasped her arm with his palm and dragged it hard, and Bai Muqing was instantly pulled into his arms.

He moved his palm up to pinch her jaw and forcibly opened her mouth, shoving the pill into her mouth with his other hand.

The mouth was forced to open and close, and after Bai Muqing felt the pill stuck in his throat, he went down.

Yes, down.

She grabbed her throat with her hand, coughing desperately and glaring at him with a frightened gaze, what did he do? Did he force cold medicine into her stomach? This goddamn bastard!

"Nangong Chen, you bastard! How can you force someone to do something they don't like to do like that? Who do you think you are? Why should I let you decide whether I take medicine or not?! She threw herself on him, screaming as she frantically pounded his chest with her hands, and tears flowed down her eyes in an instant.

Nangong Chen raised his hand and grabbed her wrist and sneered: "Didn't you say you couldn't swallow it?" ”

"You...... I hate you! Hate you bastard! Bai Muqing was so angry that she lowered her head and bit the back of his hand, Nangong Chen let out a low cry of pain and instinctively shook her off.

"I don't eat! I just don't want to take pills......! Bai Muqing cried as she slashed her throat with her fingers, trying to pull the pill out of her stomach.

Probably because she was picking too hard, her stomach turned over and became uncomfortable, and she ran to the sink in the bathroom, but she couldn't vomit the contents of her stomach.

Nangong Chen saw that she was already in pain, but she still didn't give up and grabbed her throat with her hand, and was annoyed by her stubborn appearance. He pulled her up from the sink and said angrily, "Enough! ”

There was a hint of guilt in his anger, yes, guilt.

Originally, she just wanted her cold to get better soon, so she was forced to take medicine, but she didn't expect her character to be so stubborn and had to fight him to the end.

He Nangong Chen did not admit defeat, and he never showed softness, he forced her to take the pill as he wished, he won, but he didn't feel the slightest joy of winning.

Bai Muqing was completely annoyed by him, struggling not to let him touch herself, and for a while, the two of them tugged endlessly.

Since she knew that Bai Muqing was pregnant, the old lady was extremely sensitive to Bai Muqing's personal safety, and immediately caught up with her as soon as she heard the movement.

As soon as she walked in, she saw the two of them pulling shelves in the bathroom, and roared in fright: "What are you doing!" ”

The two in the bathroom were stunned by the roar and stopped pulling.

When the old lady saw Bai Muqing's tearful eyes and disheveled clothes, she was so angry that she almost didn't lose her breath, and couldn't help yelling at her again: "Bai Ying'an, do you know your identity at this time?!" ”

Bai Muqing knew that she was referring to her pregnancy, and she was still fighting here when she was pregnant, so it was no wonder that she was so angry, but ...... She didn't want to. Thinking of Nangong Chen's behavior just now, she sobbed aggrieved and sad.

Nangong Chen glanced at her lightly and said to the old lady, "Grandma, don't be angry, I'm fine." ”

"Who cares if you're okay?" The old lady habitually raised her palm and slapped Nangong Chen's head, and said angrily: "How many adults are you, you are still fighting here, how many times have you told you that husband and wife should live in harmony." ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned to Bai Muqing and asked, "Did he beat you?" Did it hurt? ”

Bai Muqing shook her head and remained silent.

Nangong Chen looked at the old lady in surprise, what's the situation? When did Grandma care more about this woman than he did? In the past, no matter whose fault it was, grandma would indiscriminately blame the other party for the fault, how could it be ...... today.

He glanced at Bai Muqing again, but he was just forcing her to take a few cold medicines, as for crying like this?

"Where the hell did you hurt her? Make her cry like this? The old lady asked Nangong Chen uneasily.

Without the old lady's favoritism, Nangong Chen instantly became a lot more docile, opened his mouth and said, "No, it's ...... Forced her to take a few cold medicine pills ....... ”

...

...
