Chapter 22 Dissolved into the blood and carved into the bones
The old people say that everyone is destined to have a noble person in their life, and when you meet him, you will turn evil into good fortune.
Lin Wanjing's recovery is a miracle in the mouth of Dr. Zhuang Zhengfan, and the Lin family specially found someone to do a magic service for this, and the Taoist chief said that she had hit the evil spirit, but fortunately, there was Liu Jin, the "real dragon", and she was able to recover. So the Lin family even recognized Liu Jin as the noble person in her life.
In mid-April, the British cruise ship "Cross Star" carrying the Duchess of Fernand arrived in Heron Harbor, and the fleet fired a salute to this day, which is the highest standard of courtesy. The Duchess declined the invitation of the British Consulate and went straight to No. 19 King Shan Road to "inspect" the preparations for the wedding
"With Lin Wanjing and her intimacy, it seems that she is Lin Wanjing's biological mother, but fortunately, Lin Wanjing is not disgusted by the existence of the two mothers.
There is still half a month left in the divorce, Lin Wanjing still needs to deal with the affairs of the firm, she must do all the handover work before being "grounded", and her sister Tang Wanying is not familiar with the firm, so she has to write ten pages of details that need to be paid attention to in the drawer.
After the "memo" was settled, Aaron's voice came from outside the door:
"Miss, downstairs there is a gentleman surnamed Li looking for you."
"Lee?" Lin Wanjing thought for a moment, and hurriedly got up and went downstairs.
In the hall, Li Lingrui was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and when he heard the sound of footsteps going downstairs, he looked up at her, looked at each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Since she reunited with Li Lingrui in the ward that day, she has not seen him again, so much so that she doesn't know whether the reunion was a waking up or a dream in retrospect. And she didn't go to him either—because of who she was, she didn't want to make a fuss.
Li Lingrui was not so good, after handing over work with Liu Jin that night, he was reprimanded by his parents when he went home, they said that he is now a person with a fiancée, no matter how many entanglements he had with Lin Wanjing before, it is time to let it go. The reason why he will be stopped in the open sea and not allowed to dock at the port when he returns to China this time is that Liu Jin has a grudge against him, and now Lin Wanjing is no longer someone he can provoke.
Because she didn't think that Li Lingrui would come back to find her, Lin Wanjing didn't know where to start for a while when she faced the "old man" in front of her.
"Look at your complexion, you are indeed healed now." Li Lingrui opened his mouth first.
"Well, Yun Rou said that you rushed back to save me, thank you."
Hearing Lin Wanjing say this, Li Lingrui sighed, maybe he heard the title "Yunrou", and the thank you behind it sounded so unfamiliar.
"That's what he told you?" Li Lingrui suppressed the depression in his heart and let out a long sigh of relief, "Do you have time?" I want to go out for a walk. ”
"Where do you want to go?"
"Do you remember when we were kids and found a beach around here?"
How could she not remember? The beach was hidden behind a grove of small white shells among the smooth stones, round and delicate like pearls.
"I miss it so much all of a sudden, can you come with me again?"
Lin Wanjing hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
That beach is still there, after returning from the UK, Lin Wanjing has been there secretly a few times alone, and now she is revisiting Li Lingrui's hometown, but there is always a little bit of bad taste in her heart.
"I remember back then, there was a boat in this place." Li Lingrui walked to a wooden stake, "At that time, I thought this wooden stake was so big, and the boat was so big, but now it looks ...... Look at us, we've all grown up in a blink of an eye, and now that I think about it, it's good that our time can stay at that time......"
His words did not continue, but were held back like a fish in his throat.
"Ling Rui, if you had told me at that time that you would return to China so soon, I would have waited for you in England."
Li Lingrui sighed, Lin Wanjing didn't know that if his parents hadn't sent him a telegram telling him that Lin Wanjing had agreed to Liu Jin's marriage proposal and was about to become the young marshal's wife, he would not have chosen to come back.
"You know, I thought we were going to England, to the furthest we could go, and when you told me you were going back home, I really ...... Unprepared. ”
Lin Wanjing lowered her head, Ling Rui, you don't know, if you didn't say you didn't want me to wait for you, how could I come back resolutely?
"At that time, you asked me, if we got on that boat, where would we be the farthest we could go?" Li Lingrui suddenly changed his relaxed tone.
"At that time you said that if we set out in the morning, we could go to the sun, and if we set out in the evening, we would find the moon's home before dawn." Lin Wanjing laughed, it turned out that they were so cute when they were children.
"Then you pestered me every day, that I should take you to the moon's house, because you said that you dreamed that there was a bed made of stars and a curtain made of the Milky Way." Li Lingrui also laughed, turned around and stretched out his hand to her, "You dreamed that I made you a skirt with that window screen." ”
"yes, and then you led me to dance all night." Lin Wanjing took his hand, held the hem of her skirt and spun with his pace, there was no music, but the melody echoed in her heart.
"Shall I take you to the moon's house now?"
The melody in his mind suddenly stopped, and Li Lingrui's unexpected words pulled Lin Wanjing back from the dream to reality.
"Shall we get out of here? It's just the two of us, it's good to go anywhere. Li Lingrui asked again, with expectation in a sincere tone.
Lin Wanjing looked at his eyes and stood fixedly, she had waited for Li Lingrui's words for twenty years, if it was a few months ago, she would have said that she was willing, and she would have followed him away without hesitation.
"It's too late...... she lowered her eyes, and her hand slipped from his palm, "why didn't you think about it when you told me not to wait for you, that I should learn to cherish the opportunity, and that you didn't want to delay me?" ”
Li Lingrui said dumbly, those words didn't pass through his brain at all when he said them, he was sure that Lin Wanjing would wait for him, just like waiting for her to come back by the window of the castle every week, he never thought that he would lose her one day.
The gulls skimmed across the sky, leaving behind long chirps. After a long silence, Li Lingrui suddenly laughed, full of bitterness and helplessness, but he still didn't want to give up, trying to make the last stay:
"It's in time, as long as you're willing to come with me, it's time to do it. Come with me, okay? I never thought I'd lose you! ”
"I'm sorry, I can't do it, I really can't do it."
"Wanjing, you look at me, I love you, I mean really. You don't know how hard I've been this month, and I can't accept that you're going to be someone else's wife. ”
"Then forget me." Lin Wanjing looked into his eyes and responded: "I don't have a choice, we don't have any, you know it in your heart." ”
Lin Wanjing's eyes were full of determination, and this firmness wiped out all the expectations in Li Lingrui's heart.
Seeing the enthusiasm in his eyes fade little by little, Lin Wanjing's heart was like a knife.
"Miss Gu is a good girl, she doesn't have to pick her family character, and she can help you more in her career. If you provoke her, you should not fail her. She whispered, for a long time, and sighed, "Go back." ”
Li Lingrui stood in place for a long time, sighed, and followed behind Lin Wanjing in silence, her words were exactly the same as what her father said the night before:
"If you love Wanjing, you shouldn't be greedy to provoke Yiguang. Now that Yiguang is your fiancée, this matter is already a certainty, don't mention anything to me about divorce, our Li family can't afford to lose this person! If you have guilt for Wan Jing, then dissolve this guilt into your blood and engrave it on your bones, even if you have to suffer for a lifetime, it is your own doing! ”
Fifty meters away on the seawall, the man watched the two men in the distance until they left.
"Young marshal, can't you go over?"
"No, let's go back to the firm first." Liu Jin said this and sat in the car first.
Nothing to say all the way.
Lin Wanjing and Li Lingrui returned to the firm, but saw Liu Jin already standing under the porch.
"Where did you go?" He asked.
"I didn't go anywhere, just walked around." Lin Wanjing's eyes were a little erratic.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jin walked up to her, bowed her head and asked her, "Didn't you say okay, take you home for dinner?" ”
"Hmm. I'll go get something and wait for me. Lin Wanjing smiled at him and went to the store.
Only Liu Jin and Li Lingrui were left under the porch.
"Dead?" Liu Jin looked at the bustling street shop in front of the door and asked inexplicably.
"You're spying on her?" Li Lingrui asked rhetorically.
"Spying on you, to be exact." Liu Jin turned his head to look at him, his eyes were cold, "Lin Wanjing is my fiancée, if you know each other, stay away from her." ”
This time, Li Lingrui didn't refute again, just smiled, turned around and sat in the car parked on the street, and walked away.
