Since she can't refuse, Lin Wanjing can only choose to accept it.

Fortunately, there are not many orders for Honglin Textile in this year, near the end of the year, a large number of workers have entered the shutdown stage, Lin Xifeng after discussing with the workers, dispatched some of the staff to help Lin Wanjing deal with the accumulation of mountains of inspection applications, although it is not easy to do it in half a month, but it is also orderly.

Li Lingrui said that Lin Wanjing's compromise was definitely beneficial and harmless to the Lin family, but this time she worked hard, that is, sacrificed her freedom, and also contributed the leisure time she longed for.

Li Lingrui no longer interfered in the affairs of the hospital after marriage, and slowly returned to the position of the young master of Hengguang Far East Group, Hengguang Far East Group is the first major exporter in Luzhou, if he can personally check the goods, even if it is a great support for Lin Wanjing, this is also one of the few things he can think of to do for Lin Wanjing.

After taking a bath, Lin Wanjing changed her pajamas and nestled in the quilt, gently stroked her bulging lower abdomen, and sighed that the process of giving birth to life was so wonderful and indescribable, she yawned lazily, and felt a little tired for no reason.

Ah Ling tidied up the clothes in the bathroom, walked to the bed to help her take care of her long hair, saw her yawning all the time, and said with concern:

"Miss, if you're tired, go to bed early. You are not as good as you used to be, so you should rest more. ”

Lin Wanjing was in a hurry, and before she could reply to her, there was a knock on the door, and she hurriedly put the quilt in front of her, and then nodded to Ah Ling.

"Who?" Ah Ling asked as she walked to the door.

"It's me." Mo Zhidong answered outside the door, "Has Miss taken a bath?" ”

Ah Ling glanced at Lin Wanjing again, and only opened the door after receiving an affirmative answer.

"Ma'am." Ah Ling said hello briefly, turned around and went to pack the clothes that Lin Wanjing had changed.

"Mom, why did you come up? I'm ready to sleep......"

Mo Zhidong sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and said, "Since you're ready to rest, I'll just say it." Have you been at odds with the young marshal lately? ”

Lin Wanjing was stunned, she didn't expect Mo Zhidong to suddenly ask about this:

"Why do you ask? I moved back just because the Kuntai was so deserted, that's all. ”

"Are you...... Quarreled with the young marshal? ”

"Nope." Lin Wanjing lowered her eyes, "There is no quarrel, and there is no contradiction." ”

Yes, she just wants to be a stranger to him, so why waste time contradicting him?

After listening to her answer, Mo Zhidong was silent, since she didn't want to say it, then there was no need to mention those market rumors to her - it was rumored that Liu Jin was unfaithful to his wife after she got married, and even because her old lover kicked Lin Wanjing out of the house, it was also rumored that the newlyweds lived separately and were already inseparable.

And these messages intensified after Matthews Foreign's Christmas party.

"So, didn't the young marshal accompany you to the drinking party that day?" Mo Zhidong asked again.

Lin Wanjing was still silent, she really didn't go to that dance with Liu Jin, she didn't even know that Liu Jin was on the list of invitees. If after two months of calm, the scars in her heart have gradually healed, the wedding ring on her ring finger no longer seems to be dazzling at this time, and when she touches it occasionally, she even misses the gentle eyes of that person, and will pity him for being a victim of that farce, then after dinner, when she saw him holding another girl's hand and walking into the venue, the remaining thoughts in her heart were completely shattered.

"Since you don't want to say it, Mom won't ask. But Wan Jing, since you are the wife of the young marshal, you may become a handsome lady above tens of thousands of people under one person in the future, and you should not only consider yourself in everything, but also consider your husband's situation. It's not good for either of you to always play on the child's temper. Mo Zhidong raised his hand to stroke his daughter's long hair, paused and continued, "Although I don't have many opportunities to get along with him, I know that he is by no means a playboy by nature. You are my only daughter, if he is really muddy, how can I agree to this family business and push you into the fire pit? When two people live together, it is inevitable that there will be stumbles, misunderstandings, and last resorts. There is really a misunderstanding, just forget it, if he admits his mistake, don't be too stubborn, if the two want to grow old together, they must learn to forgive and compromise. And...... If you have children in the future, you should think about them even more, remember? ”

Lin Wanjing nodded, she knew her mother's words, but when she thought of Liu Jin's burden on her, her heart throbbed as if she was being caught. She couldn't tell whether this feeling was love, sadness, or just unwillingness, because she couldn't figure it out and was repeatedly unwilling to face it.

"Look at you, such a big person, the quilt is not even covered, I'm afraid I'm going to catch a cold if I sleep like this all night."

Mo Zhidong stretched out his hand to smoke the futon that Lin Wanjing was holding, Lin Wanjing was at a loss, but when she heard A Ling's exclamation, Mo Zhidong's eyes naturally chased over:

"What's wrong?"

saw that she picked up a gemstone brooch from the ground in a panic, and fiddled with it for a while, and then looked at Lin Wanjing helplessly: "Miss...... Right...... I'm sorry I put the brooch ...... Broke ......"

"You girl, I used to think you were smart and clever, why didn't you look like this for a few months." Mo Zhidong reproached.

"Madame's lesson is that Ah Ling remembers."

"Well, since you're sleepy, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Your father said that the whole family would have dinner together tomorrow night, and if the foreign bank was empty, don't go tomorrow. Mo Zhidong said this, stuffed a small book into Lin Wanjing's hand, and then got up to leave.

Lin Wanjing didn't think much about it, took the book and said hello, and said good night, which sent Ah Ling to send Mo Zhidong away. saw Ah Ling close the door, and immediately took her fingers back into her mouth, frowning slightly.

"Are your hands all right?"

"It's okay with my finger, it's just a blood spot. Miss, your brooch...... It's really broken. ”

It's a miracle that falling from such a high place to the ground is not bad.

The brooch was a birthday gift from her duke's adoptive father when she was 16 years old, it had broken once, the gem was lost in the garden, she was depressed for a day, Liu Jin came home and learned that she took off the gem on her sword and asked the craftsman to set it, and she still remembered the touch when she took the brooch from his hand that still carried the body temperature.

"Miss, I'll find someone to fix it tomorrow." Seeing that she looked a little lost, Ah Ling asked tentatively.

"It's okay, if it's broken, it's broken, just find a jewelry box and put it away."

There is a knot in her heart, but everything related to him at this moment seems to her to be a hint, a providence.

Ah Ling didn't know why, but she still nodded and responded: "Then I'll go and give you a hot cup of milk." ”

"Hmmm......"

Lin Wanjing doesn't blame her, it's just a brooch, and then it's good that she is smart enough, otherwise her pregnancy for a few months will definitely not be able to hide it tonight. Thinking like this, she folded the bedding with her hand, and the small notebook left by Mo Zhidong rolled on the blanket for a few weeks, and was finally caught by Lin Wanjing on the edge of the bed.

The dark burgundy cowhide cover was plain and simple, slightly larger than the palm of her hand, it should be a close-fitting note, she hesitated for a long time before opening the cover - since it was given to her by Mo Zhidong, it was deliberately to show her.

"Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart, even if I don't go, Zining will not be a son. Qingqing Zipei, I think about it, even if I don't go, Zining won't come. ”

The handwriting was Liu Jin's sharp strokes that had been engraved into her heart, as sharp as a knife, and the tear ducts stabbed in her eyes. Tears slid down her face, dripping in the blank space of the notebook, containing the vague outline of the text on the next page, she hurriedly wiped away the tears, closed the notebook and didn't dare to look at it more, she seemed to be able to see Liu Jin's helplessness or maybe some lonely look: Wanjing, I don't go to look for you, so don't you come to me either?

Hearing the footsteps going down the stairs, Liu Jin raised her head and met Mo Zhidong's eyes, she shook her head apologetically at him, and he could only let out a long sigh - she still didn't want to mention him, that is, she didn't confide in him, and she didn't blame, and this was the worst state.

"Didn't you go to the Ball?" Mo Zhidong asked.

Liu Jin opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.

That dance was a misunderstanding at all.

He didn't know that Lin Wanjing would participate, and only his name was written on the invitation letter to him, and he didn't ask Lin Wanjing's opinion, because he thought that in terms of the current relationship, even if he was invited, Lin Wanjing would never agree to him.

It was this kind of "thought" that laid the groundwork for this complete misunderstanding - on the night of the ball, he was late, and when he saw Chidai Asada wandering alone outside the venue, he begged him to take her in, and she was also late, and he always felt embarrassed to enter the door alone, and it was understandable that he did not refuse.

Under the bright crystal lamp, he saw the familiar figure - Lin Wanjing was wearing a snow-white big swing dress, holding a crystal goblet and talking and laughing in the crowd, he was dumbfounded, and then looked at the sapphire blue velvet ribbon on her shoulders, and suddenly remembered that Lin Wanjing is now the agent of Matthews Foreign Company - no one is more suitable than her as the adopted daughter of the duke. Just as he was trying to break free from Asada Qiandai's arms, his eyes met Lin Wanjing's starry eyes.

Suddenly, the stars dimmed.

Throughout the night, Lin Wanjing never approached him, never said a word to him, and never even met his eyes once. And he didn't know if he had received the gaze he had never taken away from her.

Interpretation? He certainly tried to explain.

Approaching midnight, the guests left one after another, Lin Wanjing sent the last group of guests to the car and left, and then stood alone under the porch for a long time, and this was the opportunity for him to approach her.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled around her like a white silver veil.

He crept up behind her, took off his coat and draped it over her:

"Are you okay?"

She didn't answer him, she didn't look at him, but the clothes he draped over her shoulders, and she didn't refuse.

The cicadas were silent, as if only the two of them were left in heaven and earth, so quiet that they could almost hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard her sigh softly, and he turned his head to look at her, but saw her walking and was about to leave.

"Wait."

Hearing him call her, she stopped.

"I just met Qiandai outside the venue by chance tonight, not what you think......"

"What do you have to do with me?"

Four words, seal him to the bottom.

Her resoluteness was the same as when he rebuked her femme fatale without giving her any chance to explain......

Seeing that Liu Jin didn't speak for a long time, Lin Xifeng finally spoke after thinking about it:

"Young marshal, as a man, I can understand your feelings, but as Wanjing's father, I still have something to say to you, if the words are heavy, please don't mind the young marshal."

"You say." Liu Jin looked up at the middle-aged man sitting opposite.

"I only have one daughter, Wan Jing, so maybe our doting on her makes her a little willful and arrogant, but I think my daughter is not an unreasonable girl. She has been in the outside world for too long, so she may be too straightforward in the expression of emotions and does not know how to pave herself tactfully. But this is indeed her spontaneous and cute, if she really gave you understanding and trust, please believe that her original intention was not malicious and hypocritical. When two people are together, if they want to raise their eyebrows and grow old together, it is not as simple as talking. ”

Lin Xifeng's words ended here, Liu Jin lowered his eyes, trust and understanding?

At that time, when Lin Wanjing handed over these two precious gifts to him, he chose to deny and question in response, if he changed places, he might not be as forbearant as Lin Wanjing.

"Let's finish dinner tomorrow night, and bring your luggage with you." Lin Xifeng said again, "I can only do this for you, after all, I don't want the two of you to part ways and regret it for life." ”

"Thank you."

Out of the porch of Lin's house, the evening breeze was cool, he looked up at Lin Wanjing's room, there was a faint yellow light behind the curtains, she should be asleep, right?

"Wanjing, now I'm going to walk towards you, please try to get close to me, even if it's just one step......"
