Lin Qiao touched his somewhat hungry stomach, shook his head vigorously, then got up and changed his clothes, ready to go downstairs for dinner.

As soon as she walked out of the room, Lin Joy met someone she never wanted to meet again in her life.

"Lin Joy!" Lin Qiaono looked at the person who came out of the room and exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Qiao Yi glanced at her lightly. Lin Qiaono wore a fiery red evening dress, which completely revealed her proud figure. Delicate makeup, slightly glamorous but not general.

It seems that in the past few days since he left, Lin Qiaonuo's life has been quite comfortable.

Feeling Lin Qiaoyi's gaze, Lin Qiaonuo thought that she was envious of herself, so she deliberately twisted her waist and glanced at Lin Qiaoyi contemptuously, with the meaning of demonstration in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Qiaonuo immediately followed Lin Qiaoyi downstairs, and asked dissatisfiedly behind her: "What, if you have enough debauchery outside, you will know that you are back?" ”

Lin Qiaoyi turned around, stared at her fiercely, and said coldly: "Lin Qiaonuo, you'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise it will be punished for saying your words." ”

"What do you mean? Are you threatening me? Lin Qiaonuo walked up to Lin Qiaoyi's side and asked dissatisfiedly.

Lin Qiaoyi ignored Lin Qiaonuo, walked to the dining room, asked the maid for a glass of water, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Lin Qiaoyi's indifferent expression made Lin Qiaonuo feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sister, after you went out, Xuan and I were very anxious. We've been looking for you for a long time but haven't found you, and we've been worried about whether something has happened to you. Thankfully, you're back safely now. Lin Qiaonuo sat down next to Lin Qiaoyi, took her hand and said cordially.

"What are you doing?" Lin Qiao Yi looked at Lin Qiaonuo, who was suddenly close to him, and tried to withdraw his hand.

"Of course I apologize to you. After all, I am really sorry that you let you witness the truth the day before you got engaged, as a younger sister. Lin Qiaonuo looked at Lin Qiao Yi apologetically and said.

If Lin Qiaonuo sheds a few more tears now, Lin Qiaoyi can't help but applaud her, this acting skill can really go to the Oscars.

"Miss, this is the warm water you wanted."

The maid placed the warm water on the tray on the table, and then stood on the side of the sofa with the tray.

"You go and get your hands dirty." Lin Joy said to the servant.

The maid nodded, kept a smile on her face, and turned to leave.

Lin Qiaoyi got up and was about to get water, but Lin Qiaonuo took the first step to pick up the water glass.

I saw her take a sip gently, and her slender eyebrows were slightly raised, as if she had a smug expression.

The transparent glass was imprinted with Lin Qiaonuo's bright red lip print, which made Lin Qiao Yi feel a little disgusted.

"Lin Qiaoyi, there are some things that shouldn't be yours, and you shouldn't force them. Something reluctant, you can't hold on forever. Lin Qiaonuo put the cup on the table and said to Lin Qiaoyi.

"Lin Qiaonuo, I will return this sentence to you as it is." Lin Joy replied coldly.

"The person Murong Xuan likes is me, and the person who sleeps next to him is also me. Joey Lin, what are you? Lin Qiaonuo's fingers with red nail polish poked Lin Qiaoyi's shoulder, his eyes full of disdain.

Lin Qiaoyi waved Lin Qiaonuo's hand away, looked at her indifferently, and said, "Since you like it, you can take it." I'm Lin Joy, not uncommon. ”

Looking at Lin Qiaoyi's appearance, Lin Qiaonuo couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, and said to Lin Qiaoyi: "Only people who can't eat grapes will say that grapes are sour." ”

Lin Qiaonuo squinted his eyes and looked around, then leaned over and said in Lin Qiaoyi's ear, "Murong told me that you are very boring. You've been dating for five years, have you ever had anything other than holding hands? ”

Lin Qiaonuo's words made Lin Qiaoyi's heart sink slightly.

Lin Gionno was right. After five years of getting along with Murong Xuan, nothing else happened except holding hands.

It's not that Murong Xuan doesn't want to, it's that she doesn't want to.

As long as Murong Xuan wanted to be close to her, she would unconsciously want to avoid her. She tried to accept him, but failed every time. After a long time, she and Murong Xuan got used to it.

It's just that this can't be the reason why Murong Xuan betrayed himself.

"Since you and him are in love, then you can be together." Lin Qiao Yi looked at Lin Qiaonuo and said.

Five years of affection in exchange for his betrayal at the engagement banquet, such a man, she Lin Joy disdain.

"Lin Qiaoyi, don't think that he was given to me by you. I'm telling you, he belongs to me! Lin Qiaonuo couldn't stand the tone of Lin Qiaoyi's speech, and had the lofty tone of the eldest lady of the Lin family, as if other people's things were given by her.

"Whatever you want." Lin Qiao Yi didn't bother to say anything to Lin Qiaonuo, got up and walked towards the dining room.

"Stop!" Lin Qiaonuo grabbed Lin Qiaoyi and said unconvinced: "Lin Qiaoyi, let me tell you, he belongs to me!" You didn't give it to me! ”

"Let it go." Lin Qiaoyi broke free of Lin Qiaonuo's hand and said coldly: "I said, whatever you think." ”

"Joey Lin, you're just a woman who was abandoned by her boyfriend who had been in love for five years on the eve of your engagement. The engagement banquet was temporarily canceled, you are the biggest laughing stock in Nangong Kingdom, why do you look high? What Lin Qiaonuozi couldn't get used to was Lin Qiaoyi's expression.

Lin Joy didn't say anything and walked towards the dining room.

Dishes and chopsticks have been placed on the table. The dish is a standard four dishes and one soup, and the maid has already served the soup and stands aside respectfully.

"What are you doing stupidly? Don't hurry up and do something! A slightly harsh female voice came from the stairs.

When the standing servant heard this, he quickly left and returned to his work. And the maid who originally worked in the dining room also left with interest.

Lin Joy sat down indifferently, picked up the soup, and took a sip slowly.

That voice was the one she was already familiar with, it was her stepmother Li Qian.

"Mother." Lin Qiaonuo shouted sweetly at Li Qian, who was going downstairs.

"Joey, when did you come back?" Li Qian smiled at Lin Qiaonuo, then turned her head to look at Lin Qiaoyi, who was calmly drinking soup, and asked.

Lin Joy didn't answer and continued to drink the soup.

"Mother called you, why didn't you speak? Is it that after a few days of being out in the wild, the basic politeness is gone? Lin Qiaono said dissatisfiedly.

"Joey, why don't you say hello in advance when you come back, so that I can tell the old man and the old man." Li Qian completely ignored Lin Qiaoyi's movements, sat down next to Lin Qiaonuo, and helped her comb her long hair with slightly curly hair.

"It's just coming back, don't bother. Grandpa and father are busy, I will ask Uncle Lin to tell them. Lin Joy put down the soup bowl and wiped the soup stains on the corner of his mouth with a paper towel on the side and replied.

"Where have you been these days? Everyone is so anxious to find you. So big, don't you know where to go and talk to your family? Li Qian said unhappily.

"I'll explain this to my grandfather and father."

Lin Qiaoyi's implication is that Li Qian and Lin Qiaonuo don't have to worry about her affairs, and the only people who are really worried about her may be her grandfather and father.

"Joey, it's not right for you to say that, I'm your mother anyway, do you talk like that?" Li Qian was faintly angry.

Over the years, because of her identity as the eldest lady of the Lin family, the people around her have protected her, and she is the daughter of that slut, Lin Huaye has also doted on her, so she has to swallow her anger and please her everywhere.

But every time she treated her kindly, she was indifferent. Relying on the identity of the eldest lady of the Lin family, she didn't have a good eye on her or Qiao Nuo.

"I'm sorry, but my mother has passed away a long time ago. Aunt Li, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Lin Qiaoyi picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the vegetables, but was knocked away by Lin Qiaonuo.

"Lin Joy, why are you talking to my mother like this? She is your father's wife, your mother! Lin Qiaono said angrily.

Lin Qiao Yi leaned back in his chair, his dark and clear eyes revealing a somewhat dangerous look.

Seeing Lin Qiaoyi's eyes, Lin Qiaonuo felt that his heart trembled inexplicably. However, Li Qian was standing by her side, and Lin Qiao Yi would not do anything to her.

Thinking like this, Lin Joy picked up the water cup on the table and splashed it on Lin Joy.

As a result, Lin Joy dodged sideways.

"Lin Qiaonuo, don't be self-conscious." Lin Qiao Yi frowned, and his tone had a hint of warning.

Lin Qiaonuo and Li Qian were stunned for a moment, as if they were shocked by Lin Qiaoyi's momentum.

In addition to being frightened, Li Qian was even more angry. This Lin Joy is so faceless, she is eating, and she is thinking about how to find a reason to ridicule Lin Joy.

Soon, her eyes fell on Lin Joy.

The light blue T-shirt clung to her skin, and the obvious signs appeared in front of Lin Qiaoyi's eyes.

Lin Qiaoyi looked down at Li Qian's line of sight, and the eye-catching traces made her face sink slightly.

She couldn't stop cursing in her heart: Damn, Nangong Ze actually left such deep kiss marks on her body, and it has been two days, and there are still traces.

"I'll just say, the eldest lady of the Lin family, if you don't go back home, what are you fooling around outside. It turned out that I was looking for someone outside. Lin Qiaono said contemptuously.

"Shut up!" Lin Joy said indifferently.

When it was time to change clothes in the afternoon, she grabbed a light blue low-necked blouse.

While eating, she leaned forward slightly, and the kiss marks under her neck loomed.

"What? Are you angry? Lin Qiaonuo reached out and wanted to touch Lin Qiaoyi, but Lin Qiaoyi dodged him.

Li Qian pretended to be sad and said, "Joey, how can you do such a thing that corrupts the family style!" ”

Lin Joy didn't know how to explain it, and she didn't want to explain it to the person in front of her. At this moment, she was not even in the mood to eat, she got up and was about to leave, but was pressed back to her seat by Li Qian.

Li Qian raised her palm towards Lin Qiaoyi, and was about to hit it, but stopped in front of her face.

I saw Lin Qiao Yi clenching her wrist, and her slightly gloomy face became a little indifferent.

"Let it go!" Li Qian struggled a few times, but Lin Qiaoyi's strength did not decrease at all.

"Lin Joey, you let go." Lin Qiaonuo saw Li Qian's painful expression and hurriedly shouted.

Lin Qiaoyi glanced at Lin Qiaonuo obliquely, his long eyelashes trembled a little, and his indifferent eyes couldn't help but be a little scared.

"Lin Qiaoyi, I told you to let go!" Li Qian's face became more and more ugly, and Lin Qiaonuo suddenly became anxious, rushing in front of her, wanting to pull Li Qian to his side.

Looking at Lin Qiaonuo's reaction, Lin Qiaoyi easily pushed Li Qian to Lin Qiaonuo, and said without a trace of emotion: "I am the eldest lady of the Lin family, not a cat or dog who can be beaten and scolded by you at will." ”

Li Qian held her already reddened wrist, leaned on Lin Qiaonuo's body, and roared angrily: "I am your father's wife, you junior, how can you do it to your elders!" You disappeared for a few days, and even the Lin family's tutor was lost? ”

"Lin Qiaoyi, why are you so ruthless!" Lin Qiaonuo saw his mother's wrist, and his dissatisfaction with Lin Qiaoyi increased a few points.

"I usually respect you, that's because you are my father's woman, but it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you." Lin Qiaoyi stepped forward and walked in front of Li Qian.

Seeing this, Lin Qiaonuo immediately protected Li Qian behind him, for fear that she would do anything to hurt her mother.

"No matter what I do, I am still the eldest lady of the Lin family and the future heir of the Lin family. Whether it's for the real reason for the cancellation of the engagement feast, or for the identity of the heir, you shouldn't be angry with me. ”

Lin Qiaoyi's words were like a biting cold wind in a cold night, which made Li Qian and Lin Qiaonuo sober up a lot in an instant. Even the anger in the heart is replaced by resentment.

Lin Qiaonuo looked back at Li Qian, and when he saw the look in her eyes, he knew it in his heart.

Li Qian's meaning was to make her temporarily soft on Lin Qiaoyi.

Lin Qiaono turned his head, exhaled deeply, and then said, "I'm sorry, sister. ”

Lin Joy had long expected such an outcome. According to the current situation, if the two of them dare to be ruthless in front of her, they will only end up leaving the Lin family.

"I'll explain it to my grandfather and father about running away from marriage. As for you, do it yourself. I don't say it, I just don't want my father and grandfather to worry, don't take my tolerance of you as your indulgence capital. ”

Lin Joy threw down this sentence and turned to go upstairs.

As soon as Lin Qiaoyi walked away, Lin Qiaonuo's two lines of tears fell directly.

"Mother, I will remember this hatred, and I will definitely not let her go." Lin Qiaono wiped the tears from his cheeks fiercely and stared upstairs with resentful eyes.

"Yes, Mother knows." Li Qian hugged her daughter into her arms, and the resentment in her heart was no less than hers.

Lin Qiaoyi, who returned to the room, was lying on the recliner on the balcony, and there was a burst of numbness in her palms, which made her feel a little sad.

Although she has never had a good impression of Li Qian and Lin Qiaonuo, for her father's sake, she has never embarrassed them. But this time, she had to do it.

What Lin Qiaonuo and Li Qian did was really unbearable for her, and there was no trace of family affection in Lin Qiaonuo's words, so there was no need for her to save face for them.

In the bloody dusk of the sun, the sun left its last warmth to the earth, leaving without a trace of nostalgia.

For Murong Xuan, she really wanted to walk into the church with him and make a lifelong commitment. Five years of companionship, five years of bits and pieces, just like this, are going to pass away with the wind, which really makes her feel indescribably dull.

Lin Qiao Yi rested for a while, remembering that she didn't tell her grandfather and father after she came back today, so she picked up the phone and called them one by one, but the phones were all busy signals, which made her put down the phone in disappointment.

Sitting bored in the room, Lin Joy went downstairs to the garden to sit down.

Looking at the familiar garden, the light of the glass lamp fell on the green grass, slightly glowing with warm light. The white swing stands alone in place, flanked by stone benches and tables.

She sat on the swing, swinging gently, but her mind unconsciously remembered the two figures in today's dream.

She could feel the sweetness in the girl's hearty laughter, and there seemed to be no annoyance at all. Carefree to stay by the boy's side, guarding him and accompanying him.

That girl was so blessed to have such a strong arm to lean on. And the harbor she always thought was just an illusion of happiness.

"Murong Xuan, do I really want to give up on you?" Lin Joy muttered to himself with some loss.

She didn't want to give up her five-year relationship easily, she had to ask Murong Xuan for clarification. Could it be that he really doesn't love her anymore?

"What are you thinking?" A male voice appeared behind Lin Joy.

Lin Qiaoyi's back froze, and he turned his head a little hesitantly.

What caught my eye was a pale handsome face, and the lips that were originally rosy were already a little chapped at this time.

"You, why are you here!" When Lin Qiao Yi saw Nangong Ze, it was like seeing a ghost, and he jumped off the swing all of a sudden.

Because the swing was shaking, Lin Qiaoyi's steps were a little unsteady when he jumped down, his feet stumbled, and his body unconsciously fell to the side.

Seeing this, Nangong Ze immediately reached out and grabbed her arm, and said unhappily: "Am I so terrible?" ”

Lin Joy said that he was helpless. Isn't it scary? On a big night, in the garden of her house, there was no sound at all.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Qiao felt that something was wrong.

"Why didn't the security guard and the maid tell me when you came?" Lin Joy asked suspiciously.

"Why are they telling you?" Nangong Ze replied.

"The presidential cabinet is coming to the Lin family, and the Lin family should be well entertained." Lin Joy said.

Nangong Ze didn't want to say more, and directly pulled Lin Qiao Yi in front of him. The straight tip of her nose pressed against the tip of her nose, and there was a bit of tenderness in her eyes.

"What for!" Lin Qiao reflexively broke free, but the consequences of breaking free were the same as the previous times, and her strength was not worth mentioning in front of Nangong Ze.

Under Lin Qiaoyi's perseverance, Nangong Ze didn't let go of her for half a minute, but just let Lin Qiao Yi stop his movements with a muffled snort.

"Touching your wounds?" Lin Qiao Yi asked with a frown unconsciously.

"You woman, you're really ruthless." Nangong Ze said.

"Your Excellency President, you let me go home, what are you doing here?" Lin Qiaoyi didn't want to entangle too much with Nangong Ze, so he asked directly.

Nangong Ze looked at Lin Qiao Yi in his arms, his quiet little face was a little alienated, and his fair skin looked a little charming under the glass light.

"Jojo, you're so beautiful." As soon as this sentence came to Nangong Ze's mind, he said it unconsciously.

Nangong Ze's sudden praise made Lin Qiaoyi's face turn red.

It was rare to see Lin Qiao Yi shy, so Nangong Ze took out a free hand and stroked her slightly red cheek.

"Let it go." Lin Qiao felt a dense sensation coming from his cheeks. Nangong Ze's slightly cool fingers made her a little unaccustomed.

"Don't let go." Nangong Ze's movements were very gentle, making Lin Qiao feel that he was stroking a precious treasure.

Lin Qiao impatiently slapped away the hand on his face and broke away from Nangong Ze's embrace. Before he could stand firmly, there was a pain in his ankle, and his body was about to fall to the ground again.

Nangong Ze grabbed Lin Qiaoyi's hand with one hand and brought her back into his arms, and the other hand reached towards her ankle.

"I'm fine, I just scratched a bit." Lin Qiao reflexively raised his foot, and waited until Nangong Ze withdrew his hand before his foot touched the ground and twisted it lightly.

Without feeling any more pain, Lin Qiao was relieved.

Anyway, she is also the granddaughter of the general, and it would be a shame to twist her ankle because of jumping on the swing.

"I did a good job today, and I deserve to be my woman." Nangong Ze knew that Lin Qiao was fine, so he put his hands around her waist, and said with his chin staring at the top of her head.

"Nangong Ze, I'm not your woman! Also, what are you doing here? ”

"I miss you, so I can't help but come and see you." Nangong Ze saw Lin Qiaoyi's angry expression, so he explained.

I miss you......

This sentence made Lin Joey's mind go blank for a moment.

The man who seemed out of reach, the man who brutally imprisoned her, actually said this to her? It's a bit of a fantasy, isn't there something wrong with that nerve?

Nangong Ze sat on the stone bench with Lin Qiao Yi in his arms, and rested his head on her shoulder a little tiredly.

"You get up!" The weight on his shoulders brought Lin Joy back to his senses quickly.

"I'm so tired." Nangong Ze's voice revealed a hint of weakness.

Nangong Ze's tone made Lin Qiao Yi feel that something was wrong, and even holding his body was a little strange. She struggled to get up and reached out to try it on Nangong Ze's forehead.

The hot temperature shocked Lin Joey.

Is this man crazy? He had a fever and was running around. She was about to raise her head and prepare to call someone, but was stopped by Nangong Ze.

"Don't, don't let anyone know."

Lin Qiao was stunned, and then remembered Nangong Ze's identity.

"Go back quickly, you're still feverish." Lin Joy persuaded.

"You send me."

"Call Tang Xiu to pick you up."

"You send me."

"Go back by yourself."

"You send me."

Lin Qiao Yi looked at Nangong Ze's stubborn appearance, and felt a little angry in his heart.

"Your Excellency, you can leave as you came." After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.

She took a few steps and found no sound behind her, so she looked back.

I saw Nangong Ze lying on the stone table weakly, his face was white and frightening, but his eyes were staring at her tightly.
