Chapter 148: Confidant
The moment he heard this, Xu Ji felt a slight sour feeling in the corners of his eyes, he could die without regrets if he had a confidant, let alone a wife? If Xu Ji was really a seventeen-year-old boy, it would be fine, but Xu Ji, who was a man in two lives, felt deep in his heart.
Regarding Xu Ji's experience over the years, of course Yining knows that it is not easy to do it, but how can Xu Ji not know that it is also not easy for Yining? After waiting for so long to finally be able to be together justifiably, it is not an easy thing for the two of them, and Xu Ji even had the urge to leave everything behind for the rest of his life with the woman next to him.
But Xu Ji knew very well that it was just an extravagant hope, where did he live a peaceful life in this troubled world, if he didn't have the strength to protect himself, I am afraid that it would not be long before he would become a dry bone in the wilderness, let alone protect Yining.
"Why do you want to say such things again, Ning'er, I naturally know your heart, but now I'm afraid it's not such a simple thing, Luoyang City is like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire to me now, and a careless one is a death. I want to leave. Xu Ji finally told the truth, there was nothing to hide from the person around him who had been waiting for him for a long time, not to mention that he didn't tell everything and everything, for Yining, these are not what Xu Ji wants her to bear with him, even if she wants to do this, Xu Ji will not allow it.
Hearing this, Yining frowned and asked softly, "Is it really that serious?" There doesn't seem to be anything unfavorable to you in Luoyang City lately. Of course, Xu Ji would not blame Yining for his short-sightedness, because on the surface, Luoyang has been really calm recently, and naturally he can't see anything from it. But that's just the appearance, for someone like Xu Ji who is in the game and has a keen eye, he can barely see the storm hidden under the calm.
Xu Ji just nodded his head lightly and said, "Ning'er, you don't understand." Storms are always preceded by calm, but calmer means bigger storms to come. Ning'er. The current situation is no longer within my control, no matter which side of the force is already hidden and uncontrollable, I have no foundation in Luoyang, I am afraid there is no room for struggle in the face of this future storm, at that time, I don't know if I can survive well. β
Xu Ji still didn't say what he was worried about, for Xu Ji, these were things that only he needed to bear, no matter how bad it was, he would never let the person next to him come and experience it with him, and he was afraid that he wouldn't appear on her after she married him. But Xu Ji doesn't understand a woman's heart after all. Now the most worrying thing for Yining is Xu Ji himself, and nothing else is just a matter of time and again.
Yin Ning naturally wouldn't be satisfied with Xu Ji's answer, but she also knew that Xu Ji didn't tell her everything, if she didn't have any troubles, she really didn't want to tell her, and now she is no longer the rude little girl she was at the beginning, although she occasionally makes a small child, Xu Ji not only won't blame, but will accept it with a smile, but she also knows that she is a wife, what to do and what not to do, she has a ruler in her heart. So Yin Ning just stretched out his hand and fiddled with Xu Ji's brows and said, "If it's really as you said, then leave Luoyang, and don't frown." It doesn't look festive! β
Xu Ji was amused, of course Yining was not really so naΓ―ve, but deliberately teasing Xu Ji, her intentions were good, how could Xu Ji not know? It's just that he can't do anything about the situation now, and Liu Hong doesn't regard him as an indispensable member after all. Since Liu Hong regarded him as a sacrifice, Xu Ji naturally did not need to accompany Liu Hong to the funeral.
Indeed, in Xu Ji's opinion, Liu Hong has no certainty of winning, even if he adds himself, Liu Hong's winning rate will not exceed one percent, Liu Hong is too impatient and makes him choose an extremely inappropriate time. Now the power of the party has gradually returned to its original limelight, and the clan has been dissatisfied with their treatment for a long time. At this time, plotting to regain his authority will inevitably lead to more chaos in the situation, and Liu Hong is obviously unable to suppress the change in the situation without great power. At that time, Dahan will not only have no power to return to heaven, but he will not even be able to save his own life.
But what is the use of Xu Ji seeing these clearly? Liu Hong will never give up the good situation he sees, at least for now, Liu Hong's goal will indeed be achieved soon, but Liu Hong has always ignored the variables, and what is worse is that this time there are more variables than any time.
Of course, Xu Ji also wanted to stop Liu Hong, but it was already impossible. Now the only thing Xu Ji can do is to protect himself and the woman around him, Luoyang is like an ocean now, and Xu Ji is just one of the Ye Bianzhou, it is not easy to protect himself, let alone pull Liu Hong. But even if Xu Ji can save him, he won't save it, originally Xu Ji didn't have a good impression of Liu Hong, but now he is used as a tool by Liu Hong, so how can Xu Ji repay his grievances with virtue? Xu Jike has never been a magnanimous person.
But Xu Ji naturally can't say these words to the people around him, no matter what Yin Ning says, she is Liu Hong's daughter, even if Yin Ning herself has complaints about Liu Hong, but the so-called blood is thicker than water, Xu Ji doesn't want to fall into Yining and a dilemma, it is better for him to be selfish and decide for her, even if he has to bear the infamy, Xu Ji will bear it.
Yin Ning saw Xu Ji pondering again and couldn't help but interrupt him again: "Wood, why did you start thinking again?" Relax, there's always time, isn't it? There is still some time before the storm comes, isn't it enough for you to plan? Why rush for a while? Xu Ji was very embarrassed by Yining's coquettishness, so he simply stopped thinking about those things, he exhaled a long breath and said, "Yes, listen to Madame's words, I don't want to, what about Dian Wei?" I haven't seen this fool in days, isn't he in the house these days? β
Xu Ji also reacted at this time that he had been running around the Jinwu Mansion and the palace in the past few days, and he hadn't seen his own personal guard commander for a few days, and Yining glanced at Xu Ji and said in a coquettish voice: "Jun Qing saw that you didn't ask him to accompany him for a few days, and you went to the West Garden to find Zi and the general, did you find out that you didn't see him today?" Xu Ji could only smile helplessly, he was full of worries about where he could take care of this guy who has always been very stable in the past few days, but Yining's words also reminded Xu Ji that what he had neglected recently was not only the soldiers under his command, but the most important thing was that he had neglected to do long, I am afraid that Yining.
Thinking of doing it has always been Xu Ji's good habit, he immediately hugged Yin Ning tightly and said, "Ning'er." I've been ignoring you the most lately, and my husband is really unqualified. I hope that Mrs. won't be weird. Although this was a joke in his words, Xu Ji sincerely apologized. It's just that he can't pull his face, so he chose such a joke.
However, for Yining, such a simple trick naturally doesn't need to spend much effort to understand, if it is said that Yining doesn't care, of course it is a lie, but she also clearly knows Xu Ji's helplessness, what kind of person her father is She knows much better than others, Xu Ji is busy with official business, I am afraid that it is also because her father is too tight. And Xu Ji has always been a person who doesn't cause trouble, she doesn't worry about what happens to her husband outside, the only thing she doesn't mind is that he doesn't have so much time with her.
"For the sake of your busy business, I will spare you, but how can I not know your character, I will say a word when I think of it today. Tomorrow when you're busy, you can't remember me. How did I like you like you? Yining's words are also half-true, Xu Ji is naturally quite unhappy in her heart, but Xu Ji's helplessness is one of the reasons why she forgave him, but what she said is naturally a kind of complaint that arises from knowing Xu Ji too well. And Xu Ji just smiled helplessly and said in Yining's ear: "If you marry your husband, what else can you do if you marry me?" Blame you for relying on me at the beginning, and now you regret it? But I'm not going to let you go. β
Xu Ji has always not said these love words, and it made him a little embarrassed to say these words back and forth from his mouth, but at this time he finally realized that it was not that he couldn't say such words, but that he hadn't reached that situation. Just like now, in the face of this girl, he can't help but say these words. Of course, there is indeed some scoundrel meaning in these few words, and Yining's reaction is to roll his eyes and then reply with a chuckle: "I regret that I didn't see you as a scoundrel at the beginning, and now I know that I am wrong." It's a pity that there is no way to escape, but that's fine. It's better than me waiting so long and it's cheaper for someone else, isn't it? Dead wood. β
Xu Ji is very glad that his love for the girl in his arms has not only not faded with marriage, but has become more and more like he can't leave. This may be the so-called dependence and habit, Xu Ji is a guy who is difficult to accept strangers. This can be seen from the fact that he has few friends, and Xu Ji has always maintained a respectful attitude towards women, and only this one is a special existence, and now this woman is his wife, such a situation is indeed gratifying, and as Yin Ning said, after so many years of waiting, it is better to be lucky than to look for it again, isn't it.
Xu Ji didn't say these thoughts, he was not good at expressing these sensational words, it was much easier for him to do than to say it, and for Yining, it was indeed better to do it than to say it.
When it was dinner time, the husband and wife sat opposite each other, which was quite a novelty, for Xu Ji and Yining, after getting married, Xu Ji ate alone in the study most of the time, he really couldn't spare time, even if Yining went to ask Xu Ji to eat that day, Yining watched him finish eating before leaving, and sitting opposite to eat at the same time was really the first thing for them, the atmosphere was naturally a little delicate under such solitude, and Xu Ji only felt that the girl in front of him was becoming more and more delicate. He couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky.
The misfortune of the previous life was only in the rush for more than ten years in this life, and he worked hard just to survive, and now he was finally compensated, and suddenly Xu Ji said: "Ning'er, maybe if I can meet you in this life, I will use up the luck of my life." If I want to stay with you, I will spend my whole life, this is more than a sale, do you say it is worth it? β
The girl on the opposite side playfully tapped Xu Ji's nose with chopsticks and said, "If you get cheap and sell well, are you such a person?" I didn't see your lazy nature. Xu Ji smiled even happier, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the bangs in front of Yining's forehead and said: "Okay, don't laugh, I'm serious, I'm lucky to meet you, and now it's my third life to be married." Not because you're a princess, it's because you've waited so long, I'm sorry, but, I swear, never again. β
Xu Ji's face was serious when he said this, which was a promise to him, just as he said. Fortunately, it is not because of Yining's identity that he has gained anything, but because Yining's heart for him is too heavy. He couldn't afford to live up to such a heart. But Yining was a little stupid when she heard this, and whenever Xu Ji messed up her hair on weekdays, she would slap Xu Ji away in disgust. But at this moment, she looked at Xu Ji blankly. Xu Ji smiled and said, "What's wrong?" β
Yining was woken up by this sentence, and at this time, there was a slight sense of grievance in her expression: "I hate it when you say this every time you swear, do you know that I want to cry every time I hear it?" Don't say that anymore, remember? β
Although Yining's words were said with a sense of blame, Xu Ji couldn't see her moved, he got up and left his seat and walked to Yining's side, hugged her tightly and said, "Okay, Ning'er, I won't talk about it in the future, you have to be by my side." That's fine. β
Faced with Xu Ji's words, Yi Ning replied with a slight choked voice: "As long as you don't hate me, I will follow you wherever you go, and you can't get rid of it if you want to." Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little bit of his luck, this girl's persistence in love has made it impossible for Xu Ji to let go of her anymore.
"Ning'er, if you don't leave, I won't give up. This is Xu Wenlie's lifelong oath, and only Xu Ji's death can break this oath. "To be honest, it is extremely difficult for Xu Ji to say such a sentence, but in the face of this woman. Xu Ji felt that he couldn't say it too much, this was the woman he loved, and the two lives brought him not only rich experience, but also distrust of human feelings. But this was completely overturned in Yining's body. Maybe Yin Ning doesn't quite understand what love is, and Xu Ji himself doesn't dare to say that he understands, but it doesn't prevent him from making such a promise.
The true meaning of love can be left for later and slowly found. But if you miss such a person, I am afraid that you will never meet a second one in your life, and the regrets and regrets left behind at that time will be more torturous than anything. Xu Ji didn't want to miss it. The word "confidant" is simple to say, but how can the human heart be so easy to see? But what can someone who can understand each other's hearts and minds do to stop them from coming together? The distance between hearts and minds is the farthest path. But the belief that Xu Ji has always insisted on has found the answer in Yining.
Companionship is the most affectionate confession, and the love that has been said ten thousand times is not as good as being by the other party's side, for Xu Ji, he finally found someone who could accompany him, and Xu Ji also knew that this person was the person he had been looking for for a long time. The life of fraud and intrigue Xu Ji has long been tired of it, but in order to survive, he has to do this, and when he meets Guo Jia and Xun Yu, these old friends, Xu Ji can't take off his mask of perseverance, for him, only in front of Yining can he let go of all his defenses, and her side is his place of peace.
And the place where she is is Xu Ji's destination, which may be quite naΓ―ve and laughable, but how lucky is life to meet someone you are willing to do stupid things for her? Who is not tired of running around for a living? Has anyone asked you to let go of these people who just want to make her happy? So Xu Ji never thought that King Zhou You was ridiculous, but he just chose a wrong way.
There are so many people trapped by love, Xu Ji will naturally not be exempt from vulgarity, not to mention the friendship of the beauties around him There is no need to say much. In the face of Xu Ji's confession, Yining cried, although she recklessly asked Xu Ji not to say such things again, but what she has been waiting for for all these years is not Xu Ji's words? What she likes is this Xu Ji, who is always slow to respond to feelings, and what she likes is this talented but not handsome Xu Ji.
"Stupid, I have said don't say such stupid things, you must be good, you are my husband, I only have you to rely on, what else can I do without you?" Yining's words were choked, it was enough for her that this man could say such a thing, her world has only left Xu Ji as the axis since she got married, and her existence as Xu Ji's wife has become Yining's new survival rule.
In the final analysis, it is because it is not easy for the two to be together, and people like Xu Ji have become so sensual, not to mention Yining, who is originally from his daughter's family.
Feelings are never an easy thing, too many people are inseparable, they love each other but can't stay together, there are too many tragedies staged between two people who love each other, and misunderstandings and then separation will occur between the right people. Xu Ji, who has seen too many joys and sorrows, has actually become a little negative towards feelings, if it weren't for Yining, maybe Xu Ji wouldn't have wanted someone to accompany him at all, but it was precisely because of her Xu Ji that he realized that he was actually eager for a relationship that could warm him.
But too long of escaping made him lose his most basic feelings, if it wasn't for Yining waiting for him for so long, maybe the two of them would have to miss it, which is also the reason why Xu Ji feels that he is so lucky, for him, it is always better to regret now than regret in the future.
At least now that Yining is by his side, he still has the opportunity to cherish.
Lovers are the most rare, and after being in love for a long time, they naturally see how deep their love is, no matter how Yin Ning is, Xu Ji has already understood his heart. This is the choice of his life, and she is the person Xu Ji wants to protect. (To be continued......)
