Chapter 5 Expediency

The sea breeze blows through the carved porch, gently caressing the crystal glass wind chimes under the porch, and the delicate and melodious bells echo leisurely, crisp and refreshing, with a long aftertaste, this should be a boring summer afternoon in the gentle breeze becomes comfortable and cool.

The book in his hand turned another page, turned his head and looked at the hand again, in the cradle next to the chaise longue, Xiao Yichen slept sweetly, smacking his fingers from time to time, as if he was eating a very delicious meal in a dream. Lin Wanjing couldn't help but sigh, put down the book and picked up the handkerchief, and gently wiped the saliva-beads on his face. Xiao Yichen seemed to feel his mother's movements, and his little hand pulled out of his mouth and accurately grabbed Lin Wanjing's handkerchief. This action poked the soft corner of Lin Wanjing's heart - everything in front of her was so beautiful, and she thought several times that she would never see it anymore and couldn't feel it. Those days of fear should be behind her, at least she hopes.

Peace talks in Gemini went extremely well.

When Lin Wanjing heard that Xu Chuanhui took "seeing her" as the premise of the peace talks, she didn't dare to slack off for a moment, but rushed to the agreed place with Lu Canghan after simply freshening up, so that her appearance was far earlier than Liu Jin expected, and from his eyes, she saw unadorned surprise and praise.

As said in the informant, Xu Chuanhui only brought two senior generals and a few escorts, and in addition to the intelligence, he also brought his daughter Ying Xuan, saying that it was because Lin Wanjing had a life-saving grace for her, Jin Chuan was not in a hurry, and Ying Xuan cried to see her, so this originally inexplicable request became excusable.

The content of the agreement is all decent terms, but there is one condition for the agreement to take effect: the agreement needs Lin Wanjing to supervise the implementation as "Mrs. Liu Jin". In other words, if Lin Wanjing has an accident, or Liu Jin intends to divorce his wife for various reasons, the settlement agreement will be automatically dissolved, and as for whether the two parties will continue to coexist peacefully or return to a state of hostility, it will be up to the time.

Lin Wanjing clearly saw Liu Jin's complicated eyes when she browsed this clause, and she also heard the various doubts from the accompanying generals.

"I know you didn't plan to get involved in this matter, let alone save me from fire and water." Xu Chuanxi's voice sounded in the noise: "If it weren't for Mrs. Zun's righteous help, I'm afraid that now Lu and Jiangxi have changed their names and surnames, and the earth will be turned upside down." Therefore, if you talk about the promise of your Luzhou Army, I don't believe Xu. But as long as Lin Wanjing is there, even if she tells me that there is a sun in the night, I will believe it! ”

After the words were finished, the audience was silent. It was in this quiet that Liu Jin signed his name, each stroke was authentic and powerful, and when he handed the handsome seal to Lin Wanjing and signaled that she would seal it, applause resounded throughout the conference hall.

Holding the palms together, the precious peace in this troubled world will be sprinkled like the sunshine after the rain to this small southern border city.

Looking at each other, she read the worry in his complicated eyes, and it was these worried eyes that she still couldn't let go of when she looked back on it many days later......

Qiong Ge came in from outside the door, approached Lin Wanjing, and said softly:

"It's almost time, young lady, the guests are almost here."

Since Lin Wanjing came back from the peace talks, Ye Qiuxi has come to visit several times, but Lin Wanjing is really tired, and she has not enjoyed the joy of family with her young son for a long time, so she has been shirking it on the grounds of physical discomfort. Now that the body is well recuperated, coupled with the turbulent situation in Luzhou, it is indeed necessary to pave the way for the future.

Since she came, Ye Qiuxi couldn't come alone, so she made an appointment with a group of ladies and ladies. When she got out of the car, she was still a little hesitant in her heart - she was worried that Lin Wanjing avoided her these days because her sister Qiuluo made her feel guilty. Now seeing Lin Wanjing greeting her under the corridor, the more cordial her smile and the more intimate her actions, the deeper the guilt in her heart. At the moment, Lin Wanjing didn't mention Ye Qiuluo, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to swallow her apologetic words and integrate them into the atmosphere of the tea party.

But things don't always go so smoothly.

Halfway through the tea party, Ah Ling hurriedly entered the living room, approached Lin Wanjing and just called Miss Sheng, but saw that Ye Qiuluo was already standing by the door.

"You don't know the rules! I said I came to report first, why did you come in by yourself?! ”

"Ah Ling! How can you talk to Miss Ye like that! Lin Wanjing hurriedly stopped her, and then got up to greet her: "I'm sorry, it's all because I'm used to indulging this girl on weekdays, if I am offended, I hope Miss Ye will forgive me." ”

Ye Qiuluo ignored her, snorted coldly, and said, "People just came back, and the bullshit rules are one by one. Her gaze swept around the hall, "Yo, there are still a lot of people today." ”

"Miss Ye, come in and sit, since you're here, let's get together together." Lin Wanjing said as she motioned to Qiong Getian's position.

However, her enthusiasm hit an iceberg.

"I don't have that time to spare." Ye Qiuluo came to Lin Wanjing and stuffed a few documents in her hand into her hand: "Dashuai is going north for peace talks in the past two days, let me send these important documents first." There are also some things that Brother Yun Rou left with me a few days ago, and I brought them with me. ”

"Thank you. I'm tired of Miss Ye running this trip. ”

"Oh yes, do you have a pen here? Dashuai still has a few more instructions, I'll write them down first. ”

"Yes." Lin Wanjing nodded, turned her head and was about to call Ah Ling to get it, but she heard Ye Qiuluo say again:

"Don't bother, I forgot I had."

I saw her take out a golden fountain pen from her Xiaokun bag, and the clear ruby on the cap of the pen stung Lin Wanjing's eyes - it was the one that Liu Jin said a few days ago that fell in the office. She subconsciously turned her gaze away, but this action was seen by Ye Qiuluo.

"If the things are delivered, then I won't delay." Ye Qiuluo said, put the pen back in his bag, but seemed to suddenly remember, and said, "Next month's engagement banquet, I look forward to your attendance." ”

The atmosphere was instantly solemn, and everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answerβ€”they had discussed this matter and never mentioned it. In embarrassment, he heard Ye Qiuxi say sharply:

"Luo Luo, just do it in moderation!"

Ye Qiuluo obviously didn't expect her sister to stop her, and after a short period of surprise, she snorted coldly and walked away.

"This girl is really getting more and more unbelievable." Ye Qiuxi looked at her sister's back, reproached, and then turned her eyes to see Lin Wanjing as if she was distracted, and said busily: "It's all my father's arrogance and indulgence on weekdays, and I will teach her a lesson when I go back." ”

"What did my sister say, engagement is a happy thing, I should congratulate her."

"Huh... This thing... Some time ago, the battle situation in Luzhou was tense, and the marshal believed that it was necessary to change the current situation of fighting separately on land and sea. But he was worried that the army would not buy Yun Shuai's account, so he came up with the method of engagement and friendship, which was just an expedient measure. Ye Qiuxi paused, and said, "Now thanks to you, Ganzhou is making peace, and Guangdong Province does not dare to act rashly, you are firmly in the position of Mrs. Yunshuai, even if someone covets it, you have to weigh your own weight." Don't take her words to heart..."

Lin Wanjing just smiled, and changed her words: "I'll put my things away first, and I'll bother my sister here to help me take care of it first." ”

Ye Qiuxi knew that she should want to be alone at the moment, so it was not easy to keep it, so she nodded in response to her, and then said no more.

The door of the study opened and closed, and the door was still quiet, and the sound of the waves under the cliff outside the window could be faintly heard.

She knew what Ye Qiuxi said, but what she wanted was more than just the title of "Mrs. Yun Shuai"?

During the peace talks that day, Liu Jin returned to Yukuntai late at night. There was a faint smell of wine on his body, and before she could ask, his kiss had sealed her lips, and his movements were slow, and the slightly cool lips were like the wind from the sea on a summer night, soft, with a little fragrance of nightshade. The kiss seemed to be a temptation, from the lip flap all the way down, the suppressed passion could no longer be restrained the moment it touched her collarbone, he picked her up, gently placed her on the big bed, and then he covered it, and the thick and warm palm touched her delicate skin, carefully, like caressing a bud in bloom. After a long time, his lips wandered back into her bun, and in a moment of confusion, she heard his slightly hoarse voice whisper in her ear:

"This pot is a draw, killing two birds with one stone, you are really good."

As if ice water was drenched in her body, Wen Cun dissipated in an instant, She couldn't tell whether Liu Jin's words were positive or bad, but she felt that the bed under her was as cold as the moonlight outside the window at the moment......

Lin Wanjing put the documents on the desk, and then slowly paced to the window, looking at the sea in the distance and was stunned - her heart was so calm at this moment, Ye Qiuluo's words were like a stone thrown into the deep sea, and even the ripples did not rise, but just fell straight down like this.

And she seemed to be the stone again, the light of the sea was getting farther and farther away from her, but she didn't want to struggle, but let herself fall deeper into the sea, the deeper she fell, the stronger the fear, the vision gradually blurred, she vaguely saw that on the day of the wedding, he kissed her deeply, and said to her in a gentle but firm voice:

"Wan Jing, you have to be single-minded, and you will never leave."
