Lin Joy sighed softly and walked back helplessly.

"Your Excellency, don't tell me, you're ready to stay here." Lin Qiao Yi stared at Nangong Ze and said.

"No way, I can't drive like I am now. Jojo didn't want to send me away, so I had to stay here. Nangong Ze said weakly.

Lin Joey glanced around the garden. Because it was night, there were no servants working in the garden. However, if someone accidentally finds out that he is here, it will probably affect a commotion.

Today, she taught Li Qian's mother and daughter a lesson, and she really didn't want anything to happen again.

"I'll send you back, you go out first, wait for me at the door." Lin Joy said compromisedly.

Although Nangong Ze's imprisonment made her very unhappy, she was a person who knew the general situation. If something happened to Nangong Ze in the Lin family, none of the people in the Lin family would be able to get out of it.

"My car is parked at the back door." Nangong Ze knew that Lin Qiaoyi had agreed, and the corners of his mouth gently raised a smile.

"You go first. Don't let anyone else find out. Lin Joy admonished.

"Okay."

Lin Joy nodded, turned and left the garden.

Lin Qiaoyi, who returned to the room, quickly changed his clothes, picked up the mobile phone on the side and opened the door to leave.

Lin Qiaoyi, who was passing by the living room, looked at the water on the table, folded it to the kitchen, connected the hot water with a thermos cup, and left in a hurry.

Lin Qiaoyi, who was just in a hurry to leave, didn't see Lin Qiaonuo slightly hiding the door.

"Lin Qiaoyi, I won't just forget today's matter." Lin Qiaono said through gritted teeth.

She was just about to go for a walk in the garden when she saw Lin Joy with a man. Although she didn't see the man's appearance clearly, she vaguely heard that she was going to go with the man.

Lin Joey, you caused all this, you can't blame me.

Seeing the sentence that the text message was sent on the mobile phone prompting the success of the message, a happy smile slowly bloomed on Lin Qiaonuo's resentful face.

When Lin Qiaonuo walked out of Lin's house through the back door, he saw a sports car parked on the side. Nangong Ze was already sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and she walked to the driver's seat.

When he fastened his seat belt and was about to start the car, Nangong Ze suddenly said loudly: "I'm still worried that you won't come." ”

"You drink some hot water and rest on it. I'll call you again when I get there. Lin Qiao Yi handed the thermos cup in his hand to Nan Gongze, and then started the car and left.

Nan Gong Ze obediently drank a little hot water, tightened the thermos cup carefully, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Lin Joy's driving skills are average, and he is not fast when driving at night. As soon as the car drove out of the villa area where the Lin family was located, a van followed closely.

Lin Qiao Yi drove the car intently, listening to a steady breathing sound in his ears, and then realized that Nangong Ze had fallen asleep. She paused for a moment, took a coat from the back seat and covered it for Nangong Ze before continuing to drive.

After driving out of the Lin family villa area, you have to go through a highway to drive to the city, and as soon as you enter the highway, Lin Qiaoyi keenly feels that something is wrong.

Although this road is exclusive to the villa area, this road is really quiet and a little excessive, even the security room set up next to it is unoccupied.

"I'll come." Nangong Ze said in a slightly hoarse and low voice.

"Are you awake?" Lin Qiao Yi turned his head and looked at Nan Gong Ze with a serious face.

"You turn on the automatic now, and we'll change positions." Nangong Ze glanced at the rearview mirror and said.

Lin Qiao Yi glanced at Nangong Ze's eyes and found that the van following behind him had a feeling that something was wrong.

Lin Joey kept the car speed and turned on the automatic gear, quickly unbuckled his seat belt, and then pulled the seat and moved to the back seat.

Nangong Ze quickly sat in the driver's seat following Lin Qiaoyi's movements, and Lin Qiaoyi also moved back from the back seat to the passenger seat.

After watching Lin Qiaoyi sit down and prepare, Nangong Ze adjusted the car to the manual transmission, stepped on the accelerator directly to the end, and the car rushed out like a fly.

Seeing this, the van behind immediately followed at a faster pace.

Lin Qiao looked at the van that had been chasing relentlessly, and frowned.

"After a moment of getting off the highway, you jump out of the car." Minami Miyazawa thinks back to the route he came from, and remembers the woods when he entered the highway.

"Do you know anyone who is with us?" Lin Joy asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, but they must have no good intentions." Nangong Ze replied.

Looking at the rare seriousness on Nangong Ze's face, her heart tightened. I knew that the situation must not be optimistic, but I still firmly said: "I don't jump." ”

"Lin Joy." Nangong Ze shouted in a low voice, with dissatisfaction and worry in his tone.

He currently doesn't know where the people behind him come from, and he can't be sure which side of the force they belong to. The people who are eyeing him are all people who want his life, and he doesn't want to involve Lin Joy.

"Long-winded." Lin Qiao Yi knew Nangong Ze's worries, but this was not the time for her to escape.

Nangong Ze is the president of Nangong Kingdom, and she is only the granddaughter of the military commander. Whether it was to protect the honor of the Lin family's soldiers or for the sake of the country, she couldn't abandon Nangong Ze here.

"I'll come, you go." Lin Qiao Yi tried to change his position again, but was stopped by Nangong Ze.

"You can't drive. I'll try my best to speed up and get rid of the crowd for a while, but I won't be able to do it for long. Nangong Ze freed up a hand, touched Lin Qiaoyi's head, and said, "So you have to run quickly." ”

"Nangong Ze, are you afraid?" Lin Qiao Yi didn't care about the hands on his head and asked directly.

Fear? Hmph, joke. How could he be afraid.

"If you're not afraid, let's go together. Can't you beat those guys? Lin Qiao Yi looked at Nangong Ze's mocking smile and said.

Nan Gong Ze turned his head to look at Lin Qiaoyi. There was a bit of trust in his calm eyes, which made his heart inexplicably quiet.

"Good. We're all in this together. ”

Nangong Ze said and slammed the accelerator under his feet again, and the speed of the car increased again.

Vaguely seeing that when he was about to reach the highway intersection, Nan Miyazawa turned the car to automatic transmission, jumped out of the car with Lin Qiaoyi one after another, and quickly ran into the grove.

The two men hiding in the woods watched their cars move on, while the van behind them also sped up to follow.

Just as the van was about to catch up, the car suddenly turned around for some reason, rushed directly out of the highway, and rolled down the ramp on the side.

The people in the van hurriedly rushed out of the car, and before they could get to the side of the sports car, they heard a loud bang.

Lin Qiao Yi looked at the fire that was burning not far away, and glanced at Nangong Ze with some surprise.

The resolute side face calmly did not show a trace of emotion, as if the firelight had nothing to do with him.

"What now?" Lin Qiao Yi looked at a few people not far away and asked.

"Wait."

Nangong Ze hugged Lin Qiao Yi in his arms, and his eyes did not leave those people's bodies.

Looking at the movements of those people, Nangong Ze was sure that they were not people sent by his own enemy country, but they didn't look like professional killings or anything like that.

One of them was holding a cell phone and didn't know who he was calling, and after he took a picture of the fire, the smile on his face looked obscene in the light of the fire.

Not knowing what the other party told him, he happily took the other people into the car and left.

Nangong Ze and Lin Qiao Yi waited for a while, and then walked out of the grove.

"Those people?" Lin Joey was sure that the men had left, and his face was full of doubt.

"Qiaoqiao, it looks like you've provoked someone else." Nangong Ze explained to Lin Qiaoyi.

Lin Qiao is not stupid, as soon as he heard it, he knew that the matter was coming for him, but he had never been guilty of someone, why would someone come to trouble him?

When Lin Qiao Yi was thinking about whether she had offended someone, Tang Xiu had already appeared in front of her, and the car that had sent her back today was parked behind her.

"Mr. Tang." Lin Qiao Yi looked at Tang Xiu, who didn't know when he appeared, and shouted.

"Miss Lin."

"Since Mr. Tang is here, then I'll go back first." Lin Qiao Yi turned around and was about to leave, but he felt a pain in his arm, and the last impression in his mind was just Nangong Ze's gentle smile.

A chalet.

Standing outside the house, Lin Joey heard a hearty laugh, exactly the same as he had heard not long ago.

She reached out and gently pushed the door open, only to see the back of a girl in a green gauze dress.

Her long jet-black hair rested obediently on her shoulders, and she held a pan in her left hand and a spatula in her right hand. The boy in the black shirt still stood behind her, his flaxen hair glaring under the eyes.

He had an apron in his hand and was helping the girl put it on.

I don't know what he said in the girl's ear, and the girl couldn't stop laughing.

"Who are you?" Lin Joy asked tentatively.

The boy and girl continued their movements and her laughter as if they hadn't heard.

"Who the hell are you?" Lin Qiao Yi was dissatisfied with the way they ignored him, and raised his voice and asked.

But they still didn't answer her, and Lin Joy was about to tap the boy on the shoulder, when she saw the roof of the small wooden house suddenly collapse down.

Lin Joey opened her eyes suddenly, and into the white ceiling, there was a person she knew standing next to her.

"Xiaomi?" Lin Joy exclaimed hesitantly.

"Miss Lin, you're awake. You wash up and go downstairs for breakfast. Xiaomi looked at Lin Qiaoyi with a puzzled look on his face and said respectfully.

Although he was a little respectful on the surface, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

This Lin Qiaoyi, obviously left, why did he come back? In the middle of the night, the servants were anxiously called by the housekeeper and stood at the door waiting for Nangong Ze's return.

She was happy because she could see Nangong Ze's handsome face, but she was suddenly angry when she saw Nangong Ze hugging Lin Qiaoyi.

"This is the official residence?" Lin Joy wished she had heard a negative answer, but Xiaomi nodded.

Lin Joey didn't say a word, lifted the quilt and ran out of the door.

As soon as he ran out of the room, he was stopped by two men in black suits.

"Miss Lin, Your Excellency the President has an order, please rest well."

"Get out of the way." Lin Joy said dissatisfied.

"Please go back." The two men said coldly, crossing their hands to block Lin Qiaoyi's way.

"I'm going downstairs." Lin Joy said.

"Your breakfast will be served in a moment. We cannot let you go without an order from Your Excellency the President. ”

"I want to see Nangong Ze!"

"His Excellency the President will come to see you when he finishes dealing with the affairs at hand, so don't make any more noise." Millet walked up to Lin Qiaoyi's side and said with some dissatisfaction.

Lin Qiao Yi was a little angry and shouted in the direction of the study: "Nangong Ze, you come out for me!" I want to go home! ”

"Miss Lin, please don't make a big fuss." Xiaomi reminded impatiently.

The woman in front of her was at best just a woman who Nangong Ze had confessed, why was she shouting loudly in the official residence?

Looking at the unmoved bodyguard and the unhappy Xiaomi on the side, Lin Qiao could only return to the room helplessly.

After a while, the maid came to the room with a steaming breakfast.

After Lin Joy had breakfast, Millet left the room with the maid, and the two people at the door were still guarding.

There was no way, Lin Qiao had no choice but to sit by the window and wait for Nangong Ze's arrival.

The early morning sun was shining densely on her body. Nangong Ze, who pushed the door in, saw Lin Qiaoyi, who was completely immersed in the sun, and his quiet face did not contain a trace of impurities, making him feel a peaceful calm.

This feeling is very familiar and makes him miss it very much.

"Nangong Ze." Lin Qiaoyi turned his head and saw Nangong Ze standing behind him, his deep eyes were mixed with a trace of tenderness, but Lin Qiaoyi did not calm the anger in his heart because of this.

"Why are you so angry?" Maybe it was because of the feeling just now that Nangong Ze's tone became soft.

"I'm going home." Lin Qiao Yi glanced at Nangong Ze suspiciously, and replied.

"As I said, my home is Jojo's home." Nangong Ze stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Lin Qiaoyi, but Lin Qiaoyi avoided him.

"You told me to go back." Lin Joy said as he took a step back.

"I'll let you go back." Nangong Ze had a smile in his eyes, and the dissatisfied expression on Lin Qiaoyi's face was like a child who couldn't get candy, which made him unconsciously want to comfort her.

"What are you doing?" Nangong Ze's approach made Lin Qiaoyi's heart beat violently unconsciously.

The atmosphere in the room unconsciously had an inexplicable flow of emotion. The smile on the corner of Nangong Ze's mouth and the slight flush on Lin Qiaoyi's face made the atmosphere a little ambiguous.

Nangong Ze took Lin Qiao Yi in his arms, sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, and gently rubbed her back.

"It's warm." Nangong Ze buried his head in Lin Qiaoyi's neck socket and whispered.

"Nangong Ze, you let me go." Lin Qiao Yi put his hand between the two of them, trying hard to push Nangong Ze away.

"In the past five years, I only have some bits and pieces of memories in my mind, and the only thing I can clearly remember is this peace and warmth." Nangong Ze said in a pleasant and magnetic voice behind Lin Qiaoyi.

Lin Joy's body stiffened, and he suddenly felt that the person holding him was not like the ruthless President who usually stood in front of people, but just a man who wanted to find his lover.

"How much do you remember about the relationship five years ago? How did we meet? How did they get together? How did I leave? Lin Qiao didn't move, kept his posture, and Nangong Ze held him.

Lin Qiaoyi's continuous questions caused a haze in Nangong Ze's calm heart.

He can't remember the details of five years ago, he can't remember them at all. Regarding Lin Qiaoyi's face, he also slowly remembered it later.

Still, he thought he would never forget Lin Joey's face again. Whether it is on the grass in his memory or at this moment, he will remember it firmly with his heart and will never forget it in this life.

"I can't tell." Lin Qiao Yi sighed softly, broke the hand around his waist and stood up, looking at Nangong Ze with a confused face with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Jojo, I have amnesia." At this moment, Lin Qiaoyi's smile was particularly dazzling in Nangong Ze's eyes, as if he was mocking him for having no memory.

Nangong Ze felt dizzy in his head, and every nerve in it suddenly collapsed tightly, making him very uncomfortable.

In an instant, countless images slipped through his mind. He struggled to see the images, but all they had were blurry shadows.

He held his head helplessly, closed his eyes, and continued to look for the faces of those shadows, but in vain.

"I can't remember the story between us, it's because I'm not your lover at all. You can't remember the five years, but I remember them very clearly. Lin Qiao Yi sat beside Nangong Ze, looking at his painful appearance, feeling a little strange in his heart, but she suppressed it.

"No, it's not like that." Nangong Ze still couldn't grasp those blurry pictures, but after the headache, the picture that stayed in his mind was clearly visible.

That face was a little greener than the face in front of him now, but whether it was his facial features or the look between his eyebrows, he could recognize that it was Lin Qiaoyi.

"Nangong Ze, why do you always think it's me?" Lin Qiaoyi pulled down Nangong Ze's hands, looked straight at him, and continued: "The person who accompanies you, the person who gives you warmth, has always been by your side, she is Chen Ziyi." ”

"It's not!" Nan Gong Ze grabbed Lin Qiao tightly with his backhand and denied it.

"Chen Ziyi is your lover, she has always been by your side and has never left you." The strength from the palm of her hand made Lin Qiao Yi frown unconsciously, although it hurt a little, but she didn't say anything.

"Jojo, I know my own memory better than you, and I know my heart better than you." Nangong Ze said firmly.

"What about Chen Ziyi? What is she? She's always been there for you, aren't you with her too? Lin Qiaoyi looked at Nangong Ze's expression, and was a little skeptical of Chen Ziyi's words.

If what Chen Ziyi said is true, then why is Nangong Ze so sure? However, if Chen Ziyi is lying, maybe Nangong Ze's words are true.

Lin Joy didn't notice that when he thought of this possibility, a certain part of his heart became a little soft, oozing a trace of expectation.

It's just that Nangong Ze's answer made this trace of sweetness disappear in an instant.

"I did spend some time with her, but I'm sure she's not the love interest she was five years ago, she's not you." Nangong Ze paused and said.

The loss in Lin Qiaoyi's eyes flashed, it turned out that what Chen Ziyi said was true, and what Tang Xiu said was also true. Chen Ziyi has really been with Nangong Ze for a while, and Chen Ziyi is really his lover.

"Nangong Ze, she is your lover, and you have the same mark on your hands." Lin Qiao Yi shook Nangong Ze's hand and said to Nangong Ze with his little finger tattooed with half a rose.

"She made it herself, it's different from mine." Nangong Ze frowned and explained.

Lin Qiaoyi looked at Nangong Ze in disappointment, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Chen Ziyi is the lover you have been looking for, I am not." ”

Nangong Ze keenly sensed that Lin Qiaoyi was wrong, and just wanted to ask, but he kept his mouth shut.

How is he going to explain it? Will she be drawn into a dark struggle? Those who gave up on her in order to make themselves ready for a long time to put an end to the appearance of all evidence that made them recognize, how could he make everything clear?

Looking at her warm face, she shouldn't be caught in the darkness of these herself.

"You are free to move around the confines of the residence. I...... I'll go first. Nangong Ze stood up, leaned over Lin Qiaoyi's forehead and kissed it gently.

Lin Joey tried to dodge, but he had already turned away.

It wasn't until the car that saw the gate through the window drove out that Lin Joy returned to the bed and sat down.

Returning to this somewhat familiar place, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she still couldn't deny the happiness in her heart.

Grandpa and father are not in the Lin family, and yesterday she had a quarrel with Lin Qiaonuo and her stepmother again, and she didn't really want to stay in that place.

It's just that Nangong Ze's reaction just now made her feel a little aggrieved.

If it weren't for Nangong Ze, he wouldn't have disappeared for a few days for no reason, and after returning home, he was still ridiculed by them. If it weren't for Nangong Ze, she wouldn't have to be like a bird that had lost her freedom, she could only wander in this golden wire cage. If it weren't for Nangong Ze, she wouldn't feel wronged.

Actually, Chen Ziyi is even more aggrieved. He is obviously by his side, but he treats others as himself. No one can accept it. She can be regarded as a strong woman, even if Nangong Ze doesn't like her so much, she still stays by his side.

At this time, Lin Joy remembered a sentence he had seen before, the poem written by a poet named Tagore.

The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but I stand beside you, and you don't know that I love you.

Nangong Ze trapped himself in this official mansion, if one day he remembered everything, remembered the bits and pieces between him and Chen Ziyi, then would he apologize to himself and send himself back to the Lin family? Or do you think it doesn't matter, pretend to be merciful and let Tang Xiu send you back?

Lin Joey was a little tired and lay on the bed. Looking at the ceiling, he murmured softly: "Lin Qiaoyi, you are definitely not a substitute for others, nor are you an item to be discarded." ”
