Chapter 418: A Cabin in the Woods
Gu Lin naturally knew in his heart that Cui'er's friendship with Tang Nian was sincere.
Although he was really anxious at the moment, reason told him that he couldn't do nonsense.
This matter is not only about Tang Nian, but also about the interests of several major families.
As long as you don't pay attention to whose cheese you touch, it's just that you will suffer, and the people around you will suffer together.
"That's it, you follow me back to Yin's house first, and Uncle Yin will help us find a way."
Gu Lin thought about it, and finally came up with such a foolproof strategy.
Cui'er really didn't have a better way, so she nodded lightly and agreed.
Then the two walked towards Yin's mansion together.
And at this moment, in a small wooden house not far from this dense forest, Tang Nian was lying on the wooden bed, still unconscious.
The candle flame swayed slightly in the breeze.
Ah Lie has been guarding the door, while Young Master Xue is carefully bandaging Tang Nian's wounds.
For so many years, since the death of the young lady, he had never seen Young Master Xue treat any woman so gently.
Ah Lie saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't help but start to reverie in his heart, not knowing whether these decisions made by Young Master Xue were good or bad for him.
But now that he has lost the war, he can't do anything else out of the ordinary.
Although he was indeed for Young Master Xue's good, this time Young Master Xue could be regarded as moving the Thunder Continent, and he couldn't touch Young Master Xue's bottom line again and again.
There was no one in the room who spoke, and there was silence.
I don't know how long it took before Young Master Xue spoke: "If she wakes up, she will definitely starve, you go get something to eat." ”
Although Ah Lie had a lot of reluctance in his heart, he had to listen to Young Master Xue's words.
"Okay."
He whispered, and went out of the hut to get ready for food.
Under the illumination of the candle flame, Young Master Xue stared at Tang Nian's delicate face for a moment.
I don't know why. My heartbeat couldn't help but start to speed up gradually.
To be honest, after so many days, he couldn't figure out what he wanted in his heart.
He didn't know if he had taken her into the Xue family because she was too much like a young lady, or because of something else.
For a moment, it was as if there were countless silk threads entwined in his heart, and he couldn't untie them no matter what.
Tang Nian closed his eyes deeply, only feeling as if he had a long, long dream.
She dreamed that she felt like she was back in modern times, playing with her mom and dad friends again.
But for some reason, my heart felt like someone was stinging.
Until it woke her up.
"Don't!"
The woman's forehead was already lined with rows of sweat, and she sat up from the bed, her eyes full of horror.
Everything just now seemed to be still in his mind, Tang Nian gasped for breath, and he didn't recover from it at all.
Seeing her like this, Young Master Xue frowned lightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Is it a nightmare? ”
Who knew that when Tang Nian saw his face, the fear in his heart rose again.
She was frightened and fell back until she reached the wall.
How could Young Master Xue not see this fact, and the woman's eyes were full of horror at this moment.
A trace of loss flashed in his heart, and then he spoke: "I'm sorry for everything before. ”
Tang Nian simply wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, how could he hear the apology from Young Master Xue's mouth.
She froze in place for a moment, unable to utter a word.
"I know you're going to hate me during this time."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Young Master Xue continued to talk to himself.
"But the reason why I did all this is also my own pain, but I thought I could make up my mind about you, but I didn't expect that it was just what I thought."
As he spoke, his body involuntarily slowly approached Tang Nian.
Tang Nian was still scared, and he kept hiding behind.
I just woke up from a nightmare, and when I woke up, I thought about what had happened.
Tang Nian's heart was beating wildly, and he never stopped at all.
I don't know how long it took for her to finally recover, she opened her mouth and spat out a few words between her teeth.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
Although it was really strange to ask directly like this, Tang Nian really couldn't help it.
She thought that the Xue family she came to was a big deal to deal with the complex interpersonal relationships of the Xue family.
Then use your own cleverness to steal some information, and finally escape.
But she didn't expect that from the moment she stepped into the Xue family, everything was destined to be ordinary at all.
First, the entire Xue Mansion was deserted like a dead man's mansion, and then Young Master Xue pinched his neck inexplicably.
Later, she learned that there was a young lady before the Xue family, and what shocked her the most was that the Xue family actually asked her to marry the dead Master Xue.
She couldn't guess how many secrets were hidden in it.
So this side made her very scared.
After all, the unknown is the most terrifying.
Young Master Xue really didn't expect that the first sentence Tang Nian opened his mouth was to ask this question.
His eyes wandered, and finally he calmed down.
If it were on weekdays, Tang Nian might still analyze his expression.
But right now, she is only afraid except for fear, and she really wants to escape from this place quickly.
"Can you let me go?"
In fact, she didn't care so much about what was hidden behind the Xue family, and now she wanted to escape from here quickly.
Young Master Xue was still organizing words in his mind, wanting to tell her all this, but he didn't expect her to suddenly come to such a sentence coldly.
Neither of them continued to speak, and gusts of breeze blew in through the window, and the cold Tang Nian shivered.
Young Master Xue still didn't say a word, just took off his coat and draped it on Tang Nian's body.
"I can't."
This is a question that he can answer to her very categorically.
The expectation that had just risen in Tang Nian's heart disappeared in an instant.
She knew how this Young Master Xue could easily let herself go, if all this was made public, wouldn't the Xue family be bad.
The corners of the woman's mouth hooked up a faint arc, and she laughed self-deprecatingly.
Young Master Xue's eyes were full of helplessness, and after a moment, he spoke again: "Can't you stay by my side forever?" ”
Tang Nian was even more confused by his words.
For a moment, his brow was full of doubt, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
