Chapter 123: Night Talk
Wu Ming said casually in order to change the topic, but she didn't expect Carol to really nod in agreement, she behaved more calmly than Wu Ming, turned around and left the noisy hall directly, Wu Ming could only stride behind to follow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the dancing and spinning crowd, Andrew held a glass of red wine, took a sip in his mouth, and quietly watched the backs of the two of them in the distance.
Under the moon, the sheep intestines are shadowed into four people.
Out of the villa, the two walked in the path of the flower garden, surrounded by fragrant smells. At this moment, the night is deep, and in addition to the croaking of frogs and cicadas, the sound of branches made by the breeze blowing the flowers.
Carol gently lifted her windswept forehead hair with her fingers, her face unwavering, like a lifeless puppet.
"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it." Wu Ming, who was beside him, paused and deliberately landed behind her. He pondered his words for a moment and asked softly, "Could it be related to the marriage contract?" ”
Carol stopped and turned around, looked directly into Wu Ming's eyes, and blurted out the words in her heart: "Big brother wants me to marry Adam." ”
She deliberately used the word "Adam".
Wu Ming scratched his hair, things didn't develop as he expected, Andrew opened a dinner party in his name today, probably to convey information such as a marriage contract. This step is to show him, and it is also to show the aristocratic families in the town.
"If I'm not mistaken, he still wants me to serve the legendary war spear in both hands?" Wu Ming sighed.
"He didn't say it, but he meant it." Carol didn't deny it.
"The method of killing two birds with one stone, I am indeed clever at using this trick to trap me." Wu Ming said bluntly, "It's just that I can't figure it out, whose hand did the previous marriage contract come from?" Could it be that someone was optimistic that 'Adam' would shine in the adventurer assessment at that time? ”
This sentence is not so much a question as a rhetorical question.
"The marriage contract...... It was left by Grandpa. Carol's words were amazing, which made Wu Ming stunned for a while, "Grandpa once left a will, and whoever I marry among the three adopted sons will be the next baron...... It's just that when the grandfather was seriously ill and in a coma, the eldest brother hid the marriage contract paper privately, and it was not until he inherited the barony that the eldest brother dared to take out the marriage contract. ”
Wu Ming was stunned and speechless, in this way, Adam is probably not as embarrassed as everyone imagined. Since the old baron was willing to give him his precious granddaughter and the title, how could he really be the one who was addicted to wine day and night on the surface?
"As for why the eldest brother took out the wedding letter at that time to make a fuss, I'm afraid he had the idea of using the power of the Barton family to get rid of Adam...... Carol thought through Andrew's thoughts, "He knew that Master Jessim had been pursuing me, and he deliberately took out my marriage contract with Adam to anger the Barton family, and his thoughts have been revealed." It's just that he never imagined that you, a man who rebelled against God, would take Adam's identity by chance, and Jessim also died in the city of Canglong due to the alien siege...... I believe he must have been hit hard when he heard the news of Jessim's death? ”
When she said the last sentence, Carol had a faint hint of schadenfreude on her face.
Wu Mingxin said that the relationship between this family is really complicated, he sorted out his thoughts, and asked Carol: "What about your attitude?" ”
He especially accentuated his tone, "Attitude towards the marriage contract." ”
"I don't care." Carol didn't think about answering directly, her face did not have a trace of concealment or contrived look, and she said the next words very naturally, "Whether it was Adam in the past, Jessim, or even you now...... I don't care about any of that......"
She took a slight step forward, her fingertips running over the fragile branches of flowers beside her, as if feeling the delicate and helplessness of these flowers.
Wu Ming was silent. He really wanted to find a different expression on the girl's face, such as sadness, conflict, anger, and unwillingness...... However, these emotions can't be found, and the girl's expression is naturally frank, as if she is having a long conversation with her best friend, which is quite unscrupulous.
"Can't control your marriage and feel like a caged bird?" Wu Ming felt that only this one statement could explain Carol's mentality.
Who wants Carol to shake her head in denial without hesitation.
"You might think I'm weird when I say that, but it's really what I think, I don't crave love, or in my heart, the desire to be an adventurer is far more than a relationship choice." Carol looked at Silver Moon with a confused look in her eyes, "Adam used to really like me, and although Jesim was selfish, he had a lot of affection for me, and I knew all this, so I don't mind marrying any of them...... You say I'm like a caged bird, maybe you're right, but this cage is not a family, it's me, do you understand? ”
Carol looked at Wu Ming sincerely, and looked at Wu Ming speechless.
"So, this time Andrew asked you to marry me, and you don't mind." Wu Ming smiled bitterly.
"It's better to marry you." Carol glanced at him, "Although you are occasionally unreliable, but the strength of the Holy Domain is there, if I marry you, it will also be good for me to go out in the future, at least I can make you take the blame if I get into trouble." ”
"Hey, hey, hey, you're going too far, are you trying to use me, and you're going to ...... me so unabashedly" Wu Ming's speed of speech was significantly quicker when he complained, "The so-called girl is not pregnant, are you really a woman, is love so unimportant to you?" ”
Carol laughed to herself, "Well, haven't you ever seen a woman like me?" ”
"How so...... I've seen some women like you. Well, when I first met you, I felt that you were inconsistent, the daughter of a celebrity in front of you, and the attributes of a female man after a person. The upper can catch the thief with his bare hands, and the lower can kick the junior with one foot...... In short, I admire such a woman very much. ”
Although she couldn't understand what Wu Ming was talking about, Carol said that she was quite satisfied with the title "female man".
"So what......" Wu Ming's expression became serious, "Call me out and say so much, what do you want?" ”
Carol straightened her clothes when she heard this, she squatted up to support the hem of her skirt, revealing the white and delicate knee and calf of her right foot, and then solemnly knelt on one knee, not caring that her white skin might be abrasively abrased by the stone path.
Keeping his upper body straight, one hand resting on his chest and the other behind his back – this is the highest etiquette in the world for Pearsis to swear allegiance.
"Please accept the seniors as apprentices, if there is a request, go to the soup and go to the fire!" The girl's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Wu Ming's face was stunned, and he suddenly had a feeling that he had been deeply tricked.
