Chapters 21-22 Let her go home
A burst of bright light hit Lin Qiao Yi and Nangong Ze's bodies from the side, and Lin Qiao Yi couldn't open his eyes a little.
Nangong Ze glanced coldly at the side, and then pulled Lin Qiao Yi out of the woods directly.
Lin Qiaoyi took a closer look, and it turned out to be Tang Xiu.
After waiting in the villa area for a while, Tang Xiu didn't see Nangong Ze come back, so he drove all the way down the road to find it.
It was dark, and Tang Xiu couldn't see the condition of the grove at all. It was only when I heard a little sound just now that I looked here and found them.
"Your Excellency." Tang Xiu looked at Nangong Ze and Lin Qiaoyi, and his eyes fell directly on Nangong Ze's left hand, which was dripping blood.
"Back to the residence." As if he didn't feel pain, Nangong Ze pushed Lin Qiao Yi into the car, and then sat in with him.
Tang Xiu quickly sat in the cab, glanced at Nangong Ze from the rearview mirror, and after calling the family doctor, he started the car and drove quickly towards the official residence.
When we arrived at the residence, the family doctor was already waiting in the hall.
Nangong Ze held Lin Qiao Yi tightly with his right hand, without the slightest relaxation, and his eyes kept following Lin Qiao Yi.
Although Lin Qiao felt that her hand was clenched very painfully, she didn't dare to say it.
She lowered her head and didn't look at Nangong Ze, but she still secretly looked in the direction of the doctor from time to time.
I saw the doctor throw clumps of blood-stained medical cotton into the trash can on the side, and the faint smell of blood became stronger, making her feel like her stomach was tumbling.
"Alright. Your Excellency the President, don't touch the water recently......" Before the doctor finished speaking, Nangong Ze said impatiently: "Tell Tang Xiu about everything." β
Then ignoring the people present, he pulled Lin Joy upstairs.
Because Nangong Ze's strength did not decrease by half a point, she could only follow Nangong Ze's steps and return to the room where she had lived for a few days.
As soon as he entered the room, Nangong Ze pushed Lin Qiaoyi open, and then locked the door.
Lin Qiao Yi silently moved back, a little farther away from Nangong Ze.
"Lin Qiaoyi, do you want me to lock you up so you don't run away?" Nangong Ze turned his head and said coldly.
"What?" Lin Qiao Yi felt that Nangong Ze's voice was extremely cold and harsh, which made her tremble a little unconsciously.
"Lock you up and you won't run away." Nangong Ze looked at Lin Qiaoyi, who was trembling, and his heart was filled with anger with a few more scars.
Is Joey Lin afraid of him? Since the reunion, he has tried his best to put away his dark side, for fear of scaring her. Today, he's really dizzy to do that. Unexpectedly, it really scared her.
"You can't!" Lin Joy retorted.
Lock her up? No! Absolutely not! She's not a pet, she's not his prisoner, how can he lock her up!
Lin Qiaoyi's resolute expression of opposition made Nangong Ze's reason that he had just returned to the cage lose a little more. A weird smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he directly stepped forward and pulled Lin Joy to the side of the bed.
When Lin Joy saw the handcuffs shining in front of him, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
Nangong Ze is trying to tie her up?
Lin Qiao Yi looked at the open handcuffs and struggled hard.
Nangong Ze didn't care about the wound on his left hand, and used both hands.
Lin Joey struggled with all his might, but was still handcuffed to the head of the bed.
Looking at the thing on her wrist, Lin Qiao Yi felt a wave of powerlessness, it was a kind of powerlessness and sadness from the depths of her soul, even when she witnessed the adultery between her lover and her sister, she had never felt like this.
Nangong Ze looked at Lin Qiaoyi, who was suddenly quiet, and his heart slipped a little strange, but he didn't regret doing it.
From the moment he stepped into the villa, he knew that there must be something hidden from him between Chen Ziyi and her, but he didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to believe that she would leave him.
When he watched her leave through the side door without hesitation, he still had a trace of illusion. The road is so long, maybe she will regret it and she will return to the villa.
But the more time passed, the closer that glimmer of illusion came to shattering. It wasn't until he saw that she was so tired that she was resting by the tree, and her fresh lips were a little chapped, that he couldn't help it.
Joey Lin, even if you are tired like this, you don't want to go back to the original point, and you don't want to go back, do you?
He had been following her, and she could see him whenever she turned around. But from the time she started to run away to the time she rested, she never looked back.
"Nangong Ze, are you so satisfied?" Lin Qiaoyi stabilized his emotions and asked coldly.
"Satisfied? Of course satisfied, you can't escape like this anymore. Nangong Ze lowered his head and said in Lin Qiaoyi's ear.
Lin Qiao Yi turned his head and wanted to look at Nangong Ze, but was stopped by him.
"Look at the wall, don't look at me." Nangong Ze said indifferently.
He didn't want to look at her now, he didn't want to look at her hurt eyes, he didn't want to see her fear or resentment.
Lin Joy unexpectedly did not refuse him, and obediently turned to look at the wall.
"Nangong Ze, as Your Excellency the President, you are really pathetic." Lin Joy looked at the snow-white walls, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
"What did you say?" Nangong Ze looked at Lin Qiaoyi's back and asked gloomily.
"Can you only keep me from escaping by locking me up? Do you think that as long as you lock me up, I will listen to you and stay in this hellish place? Lin Joey's tone was very flat, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
Haunted place? Lin Qiao Yi actually dared to say that his official residence was a ghost place! Doesn't she know how many women have exhausted all means to be able to enter this house, but even looking at it is a luxury?
"Lin Qiaoyi, if you dare to run away again, it will not be a punishment for locking you up." Nangong Ze got up and hugged Lin Qiaoyi, and whispered in her ear, "I will break your legs." β
Hearing Nangong Ze's words, Lin Qiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief lightly and said indifferently: "Even if my leg is broken, I still have a hand." Even if it's climbing, I'm going to get out of here. β
"Do you hate it that much? Do you hate me that much? Nangong Ze increased the strength of his arm.
If Lin Qiao Yi turned his head now, he would definitely be able to see Nangong Ze's painful eyes and handsome face.
It's just that Lin Joy didn't look at him, she still looked at the snow-white wall closely.
"Yes. This is not my home, I just want to go home and come back to my family. β
"I said, my house is Jojo's home!"
"Nangong Ze, this is not my home, and there is no family here." Lin Joy replied.
"Those who betrayed you, how can you still treat them as family? Your so-called family is the one who was in bed with your fiancΓ© the day before you got engaged, right? Your so-called family is the one you've been missing for so long and never looked for you, isn't it? Nangong Ze asked coldly.
"My sister is the only one who is Siqiao. With your Excellency the President here, how can my grandfather find me? β
Nangong Ze's words did not make Lin Qiao Yi feel special. The family she was referring to was naturally not those people.
"Lin Joey! What am I in your heart? Nangong Ze asked with a little hatred.
"A stranger who kidnapped me." Lin Joy replied.
Nangong Ze slowly let go of Lin Joy. The word stranger seemed to be a shackle that locked his behavior, and he was overwhelmed.
It was Lin Joy who betrayed him five years ago, and he kept chasing the figure in his dream, and finally found her, but she treated herself like this, just blindly wanting to leave his side.
"Joy Lin, tell me, what do you want? I can give it to you. Nangong Ze muttered.
"I want to be free, I want to go home." Lin Joy immediately replied.
"Good. I'll let you go back. Nangong Ze agreed.
Nanmiyazawa understands that even if she locks her by her side, she will do everything she can to escape. Rather than let her run away with resentment towards herself, it is better to let her go.
"Are you really willing to let me go back?" Lin Qiao Yi turned his head and looked at Nangong Ze in disbelief.
Nan Miyazawa got up, took out the key from the bedside drawer, and opened the handcuffs. He rubbed her wrist with some pity.
"Nangong Ze, you speak." Lin Qiao said anxiously.
"Hmm. I'll let you go back. β
After hearing Nangong Ze's answer, Lin Qiao Yi didn't have a trace of relaxation, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Nangong Ze, do you really let me go?" Doesn't involve anyone? β
"Hmm."
Because Nangong Ze lowered his head, Lin Qiao didn't see his flash of pain.
He had already promised to let her go, but she couldn't believe it, and thought she would be angry with others. In her eyes, she has really become an unreasonable person.
"Thank you." Lin Qiao Yi stood up and was about to walk out of the room, but Nangong Ze clenched his wrist fiercely.
"Are you so eager to go?" Nangong Ze yelled a little angrily.
"You promised to let me go." Lin Qiaoyi frowned slightly, she knew that Nangong Ze would not let her go easily.
"You rest here tonight, and you'll leave tomorrow after breakfast." Nangong Ze pulled Lin Qiao back to his side and said.
"Oh." Lin Joy originally wanted to say no, but it was really late.
Although I haven't known Nangong Ze for a long time, except for the fact that he kidnapped himself, the rest are very good.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't let you go tomorrow?" Nangong Ze looked at the obedient Lin Qiao Yi and asked.
"You are the president of Nangong Kingdom, I believe in you." Lin Joy replied firmly.
Nangong Ze looked at Lin Qiaoyi's eyes that did not dodge at all, but he felt a little helpless in his heart. She said she believed him, but she didn't. She didn't believe him at all, otherwise how could she keep wanting to leave.
Nangong Ze and Lin Qiao Yi sat quietly, neither of them speaking.
It wasn't until Lin Qiaoyi couldn't support her sleepiness and started napping by the bed that Nangong Ze asked her to wash and rest.
Following.
Maybe it was because he could go home, so Lin Joey woke up very early.
When I opened my eyes, the genius was clouded. She was about to get up, but found Nangong Ze, who was lying next to her, hugging her waist.
The charming handsome face has become gentle at the moment, without the indifference and alienation of weekdays. The slender but dense eyelashes trembled slightly, making Lin Qiao couldn't help but be jealous.
Lin Qiaoyi shook his head, pushed Nangong Ze helplessly, and said, "Nangong Ze is up, I'm going home." β
To Lin Qiaoyi's surprise, Nangong Ze did not react at all. She suspiciously pushed Nangong Ze again, but Nangong Ze still didn't react.
Lin Qiao Yi felt that something was wrong, she took a closer look, and found that Nangong Ze's face was slightly white, and under the dim wall lamp, he looked even more haggard.
Lin Qiaoyi stroked his forehead, felt an abnormal heat, and hurriedly shouted, "Nangong Ze, what's wrong with you?" β
Nangong Ze didn't answer, but his body began to tremble slightly.
Lin Qiao Yi forcefully broke the hand holding him and sat up, only to find that the gauze on his left hand had been dyed red.
The gray quilt was stained with blood, how much blood did he shed?
"Nangong Ze, Nangong Ze." Lin Qiao called him in a panic, but he didn't respond.
She hurriedly got out of bed and walked out of the door to find Tang Xiu.
As soon as he walked to the staircase, he saw Tang Xiu holding a water cup and an unknown small bottle.
"Mr. Tang, Nan...... Your Excellency the President has a fever, so call your family doctor as soon as possible. β
Tang Xiu looked at Lin Qiao Yi who suddenly ran out with some surprise, and then instantly regained his composure and replied, "Miss Lin don't need to be excited, late last night, His Excellency the President already had a fever. β
"Then why don't you go to your family doctor?" Lin Qiao Yi looked at Tang Xiu's calm appearance and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Your Excellency the President is not allowed to call a family doctor. I took a fever medicine yesterday, and I'm going to see how His Excellency the President is doing. Tang Xiu shook the medicine bottle in his hand towards Lin Qiao Yi and replied.
"Since it was useless to eat it yesterday, it won't have much effect if you eat it now, so you should quickly find your family doctor." Lin Joy said helplessly.
Tang Xiu is an assistant to His Excellency the President, so he doesn't even know this basic common sense, right?
"Last night His Excellency the President issued an order that no family doctor should be consulted. I had no choice but to give medicine to His Excellency the President. Tang Xiu sighed softly and said, "I can't disobey His Excellency's order. β
Lin Qiaoyi looked at Tang Xiu's appearance, and was a little considerate of his difficulties, who made Nangong Ze always insist on going his own way.
She took the tray in Tang Xiu's hand and said to Tang Xiu, "You go find some clean gauze and alcohol and send them in." β
"Okay, Miss Lin." Tang Xiu turned around and went downstairs to get something, and Lin Qiao replied with the thing.
As soon as I arrived at the room, I saw Nangong Ze sitting on the bed frowning, and the quilt on his body had fallen to the ground.
Lin Qiao hurriedly walked to his side, and after putting the things away, he picked up the quilt and covered him again.
Looking at his sweaty appearance, his face was a little whiter than just now, and he said angrily, "What are you doing here?" β
"Where have you been? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn't I say I'd let you go after breakfast? Why are you running away again? Nangong Ze closed his eyes slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"I didn't run away, I'm going to get you medicine." Lin Qiaoyi helped Nangong Ze, let him lean on himself, and said, "You take the medicine first, and I will change the gauze for you later." β
Nangong Ze tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyes were very tired.
He could only hear Lin Joyi's voice and feel her body temperature. He didn't speak, and obediently swallowed the medicine that Lin Joey had handed to his mouth.
Lin Qiaoyi watched Nangong Ze obediently take the medicine, and helped him lie down to rest.
Before Tang Xiu came, she got a basin of hot water in the bathroom and wiped his face and hands.
By the time Tang Xiu came in with her things, she had already dismantled Nangong Ze's original gauze.
"Miss Lin, what you want." Tang Xiu handed her the gauze, alcohol, and some medicinal powder in his hand.
"You're just in time, come and change him." Lin Qiaoyi wanted to change positions with Tang Xiu, but was stopped by Nangong Ze.
When she looked back, Nangong Ze was lying on the bed with her eyes closed tightly, her face was pale, and the hand holding her happened to be the injured hand.
Seeing this, Tang Xiu said, "It's better for you to come." β
Lin Qiao reluctantly took the things and sat back in place. Disinfected Nangong Ze's injured hand, sprinkled it with medicinal powder, and then carefully bandaged it with gauze.
When everything was done, the sky was bright, the golden sun shone on the earth, and everything seemed to be warm.
Looking at Nangong Ze's already pale handsome face, Lin Qiao Yi advised: "When the president wakes up, you must let him see a doctor." You are the president's assistant, know what is most important, and don't let him dictate to himself. β
"Yes." Tang Xiu replied respectfully.
"Hmm. Let him rest, and I'll leave after breakfast. Lin Qiaoyi gently put Nangong Ze's hand in the quilt, tucked the quilt for him, and then turned to leave.
Tang Xiu looked at Nangong Ze falling asleep, and left with Lin Qiaoyi.
"Last night he said let me go home, so ......"
Lin Qiao didn't say anything, Tang Xiu replied, "His Excellency the President has already ordered it last night. After you've had breakfast, I'll send you back. β
"Don't bother you......"
"Your Excellency the President also instructed that I must watch you walk into the gate of the Lin family to ensure your safety, and I hope you will not make it difficult for me." Tang Xiu didn't give Lin Qiaoyi a chance to refuse, and directly told Lin Qiaoyi what Nangong Ze said last night.
He ...... Told you? Lin Joy glanced upstairs and asked.
"Hmm."
Lin Joy nodded, and then went to the restaurant for breakfast.
After breakfast, Tang Xiu drove Lin Qiao back to the Lin family's villa.
Looking at the familiar scenery, a smile slowly rose on Lin Qiaoyi's face.
This is her home, the place she always wanted to return to.
As soon as he got out of the car, the security guard at the door shouted in surprise: "Big ...... Miss? β
"Hmm." Lin Qiao Yi nodded and said to Tang Xiu, "I'm here, you can go back." β
"Okay, Miss Lin."
Tang Xiu's respectful tone surprised the security guard at the door.
The security guards of the Lin Mansion are all veterans selected by Lin Zheng to find his cronies, and they have been in the army before.
When Tang Xiu accompanied Nangong Ze on patrol in the army, they were also there.
Lin Qiao Yi looked at Tang Xiu and didn't want to say anything. Now, she misses the big bed she hasn't seen for a long time, and just wants to lie in her own bed and rest.
After Lin Qiaoyi's voice completely disappeared from Tang Xiu's sight, Tang Xiu drove away.
When I walked down the hall, I didn't see anyone else.
Steward Lin, who was staring at the maid cleaning the hall on the side, saw her and immediately shouted, "Miss, you're finally back." β
"What's wrong, Uncle Lin?" Lin Joy asked.
"The old man and the old man have been looking for you, but there has been no news of you. There was a sudden emergency on the side of the army, so the master went to the army, and he has not come back yet. Steward Lin walked around Lin Qiaoyi, and when he saw that she was not injured, he was relieved.
"Where's Grandpa?" Lin Joy asked, sitting on the couch.
"The old man temporarily received an order to visit the Ming Kingdom on behalf of Nangong Kingdom." Steward Lin said honestly.
"Well, then I'll go and rest first." Lin Qiao Yi rubbed his temples, he slept late last night, and he has been busy taking care of Nangong Ze this morning, and now he can finally rest.
"Miss......" Steward Lin looked at Lin Qiaoyi with a tired look, and swallowed it as soon as it reached his mouth.
Forget it, let's talk about it after the eldest lady is rested.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, Miss, have a good rest, your room is being cleaned all the time." Steward Lin said.
"Hmm." Lin Joy got up and went upstairs.
I went back to my room. Looking at the familiar sky-blue quilts, tables and chairs, I breathed a sigh of relief.
She washed up in the bathroom, changed into her pajamas, and couldn't wait to throw herself into her big bed.
Maybe it's because she is in a big bed she is familiar with, so she falls asleep very quickly.
There was a hearty laugh in the dream.
She could clearly tell that the owner of that burst of laughter must have been a cheerful, lovely girl.
She stood on a grassland and looked at a man and a woman sitting not far away.
The boy was wearing a black shirt, and his muscular back made people feel very reassured, as if even if it was the end of the world, the figure would always stand upright.
The girl leaned on the boy's shoulder and held the boy's arm with both hands. Although he couldn't see their faces, Lin Qiao was sure that the girl was happy, because there was something called happiness between them, and it was spreading.
She tried to get closer to them, trying to see their faces, but she felt them getting farther and farther away from her, and she reached out to grab them, but to no avail.
As the figure disappeared, Lin Qiao felt a wave of exhaustion, and then gradually fell into a burst of darkness.
By the time she woke up, it was already dusk outside the window.
Looking at the familiar ceiling and lighting, she sat up and reached out to press her forehead to sober herself up.
It was the first time she had such a strange dream.
She wasn't really a very curious person, but this time she wanted to know what those two figures looked like, maybe because the happiness between them made her curious.
Lin Qiao touched his somewhat hungry stomach, shook his head vigorously, then got up and changed his clothes, ready to go downstairs for dinner.
