the seventh bride

Chapter 122 Ying'an's Strategy

"I'm chatting with my uncle there." Xiaoyi said without shame.

Bai Mu was speechless: "What are you talking about with him? Did you speak ill of my sister?"

"No more." Xiao Yi raised the binoculars in her hand and said happily, "Look, this is the binoculars my uncle gave me, and it's much clearer than the one you bought me."

"You still take other people's things, you, have you forgotten how your sister educated you?"

Xiaoyi's face collapsed in an instant, and she murmured in a low voice: "Uncle said it's useless to put it there, so he gave it to me, sister, I won't ask for other people's things in the future."

Bai Muqing looked at the telescope in his hand, and then at Xiaoyi's frightened expression, then stopped regretting, reached out and took the telescope in his hand, flipped through it a few times and put it aside: "Go Come on, let's have breakfast."

After breakfast, Bai Muqing dressed herself up and was about to go out. Zhu Hui looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "Mu Qing, you don't go to work, what are you doing outside all day long?"

Bai Muqing still hasn't told her that she is looking for her daughter's whereabouts all over the city, and went out after casually saying something perfunctory as usual.

She was running around outside every day, and felt that she was going to be exhausted every day, but she did not give up. She couldn't pin all her hopes on Su Xi, even if there was still no clue yet.

However, because today is the weekend, Bai Muqing received a call from Lin Annan as soon as she left the house. Lin Annan on the other end of the phone asked her where she was, and she said casually in a hurry: "I was wandering around the street."

"That's right, let's pick out the jewelry and dresses for the wedding." Lin Annan said.

Bai Muqing's heart tightened, what was supposed to come always came: "Is it... so urgent? Isn't there a date yet?"

"Anyway, sooner or later, I have to choose. I just happen to be free today." Lin Annan asked, "Where are you? I'll meet you in the past."

Bai Muqing knew that she couldn't evade it, so she had to give him an address, and then rushed there from Xingxing Hospital.

******
After Nangong Chen came out of the apartment, he did not go to the company to work overtime but went back to the old house. He promised Bai Ying'an that he would take her out for a stroll today.

Seeing him come back, Bai Ying'an, who had been depressed all night, finally showed a little smile, but still asked with a bit of annoyance: "Chen, why didn't you come back last night?"

"I was drunk last night and lived in the apartment." Nangong Chen raised his hand and patted the back of her arm, and said with a smile, "Didn't I rush back early in the morning?"

"Should I bring someone else back to live alone?" Bai Ying'an asked cautiously.

Nangong Chen raised his hand and pinched her face: "It's not like you don't know, I never like outsiders sleeping on my bed."

"Okay, I believe you." Bai Ying'an hugged his arm tightly: "Then you came back to see the baby?"

"Well, but the main thing is to come back and take you out shopping."

"Really? Then I'll go back to my room and change."

"Go." After Nangong Chen finished speaking, Bai Ying'an immediately turned around and walked to her room.

In the car, Bai Ying'an made a plan: "We'll go shopping in the morning, have dinner outside at noon, and then go to the movies in the afternoon. Young master, do you think this is okay?"

"Of course." Nangong Chen carefully manipulated the steering wheel.

"Thank you, I knew you would agree." Bai Ying'an said happily.

After passing through half of the busy city, Nangong Chen parked the car in the underground parking lot of China Central Place, where there are shopping, food, and movies to watch.

After staying at Nangong's house for more than a month, Bai Ying'an was almost bored to the point of insanity, she was finally able to go out, and Nangong Chen personally accompanied her, so she was naturally happy.

It's a pity that she is playing Bai Muqing's character now, seeing that she can't buy beautiful jewelry, and she can't buy too expensive clothes, and she can't buy the style she likes.This is undoubtedly a kind of torture for her who has always had a strong desire to shop.

After shopping around women's clothing, Nangong Chen suddenly said when he came to the elevator: "The fourth floor sells clothes for children and infants, do you want to go up and have a look?"

He remembered that since Bai Muqing became pregnant, she was particularly interested in baby's clothes and souvenirs, whenever she was shopping, she would go in and take a look around.

But Bai Ying'an almost said without thinking: "No need, what's so good about children's clothes."

After saying this, she was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her small face, she saw Nangong Chen looking at her with a puzzled expression. She panicked, and then her eyes began to turn red bit by bit.

"If I buy it back, my baby won't be able to wear it..." Immediately afterwards, two teardrops rolled down, as sad as I could be.

Nangong Chen's heart was stung by her reaction, he stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"Chen, what should I do if the baby really leaves one day? I will die of grief!" Bai Ying'an went from crying to sobbing.

"Okay, don't think about it." Nangong Chen patted her on the shoulder and took a light breath: "Didn't you agree to go shopping happily for a day? Be good, don't cry."

Bai Ying'an nodded in his arms, Nangong Chen let go of her body, and wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips.

Looking around in the jewelry store, Bai Muqing felt dazzled and couldn't pick out the style she liked.

"Or just this." She casually picked up a small diamond ring and said to Lin Annan.

Lin Annan took the ring and looked at it, then looked up at her helplessly: "This is a wedding ring, why do I feel like you don't take it seriously at all."

"This one is small and cute, but it does look a little small. Why don't you change it to this one." The service lady picked up another big diamond ring and handed it over, smiling.

Sensing the displeasure on Lin Annan's face, Bai Muqing said uncomfortably, "You know, I don't like wearing jewelry, and it would be a waste to buy them back."

"It's one thing that you don't like it, but you have to consider my face. If I wear this small ring for you in full view, what will others say about me?" Lin Annan took the big diamond ring from the service lady with one hand, and pulled Bai Muqing with the other. right hand.

Bai Muqing lowered her head guiltily: "I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings."

Feeling that Lin Annan was holding her hand but did not put a ring on her, she raised her head like this, only to find that Lin Annan was staring at the ring finger on her right hand motionlessly.

"I'm sorry..." She hastily pulled her right hand back from his palm. She still wore a ring from the Nangong family on her ring finger, and there was no room for a diamond ring.

Although Lin Annan felt uncomfortable, he also knew that there was no way to do it. If the ring could not be removed, it would be impossible to chop off her finger.In the end, he took a helpless breath and said, "There is nothing to apologize for, the ring is just a formality."

He took her left hand instead, put the ring on her ring finger gently, and said with a smile, "That's pretty good, isn't it?"

"En." Bai Muqing nodded.

"do you like it?"

"I like it." Bai Muqing was afraid that he would feel that she was perfunctory him again, so she hastily added: "Each ring has its own unique style."

After receiving Lin Annan's message, Bai Ying'an immediately took Nangong Chen to the direction of the jewelry area, and saw two people trying on rings in the jewelry store at a glance.

Through the glass window, Nangong Chen could naturally see the figures of the two at a glance. He lowered his head and glanced at Bai Yingan, just in time to meet Bai Yingan's gaze.

"Let's go to the house in front to see it." She smiled and said.

Nangong Chen knew that the two sisters were always at odds, so he didn't say much, and walked forward together with her.

"What do you want to buy?" Nangong Chen asked Bai Ying'an after entering the jewelry store.

"It's not like you don't know that I never like to wear jewelry." Bai Ying'an smiled wryly: "I heard that silver bracelets are good for evil, I want to buy them for my baby and just go back and wear them."

"It's just hearsay, you don't have to believe it too much." Nangong Chen said.

"No matter what, let's buy him one." Bai Ying'an led him to the silver jewelry area.

When they came out after buying the silver jewelry, the two happened to bump into Lin Annan and Bai Muqing.Bai Muqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted the expression on her face, and smiled at the two of them: "What a coincidence, sister and brother-in-law."

Bai Ying'an showed the appearance of a little white rabbit, and said politely: "What a coincidence.

"Master Chen is so free? You actually have time to go shopping with my sister." Bai Muqing deliberately put on an ambiguous tone and glanced at the two of them: "It seems that the relationship between brother-in-law and sister is developing well, it's really enviable. "

Bai Ying'an also glanced around the two of them, and said with a smile, "I heard that you and Young Master Lin are getting married soon, congratulations."

"Thank you." Lin Annan hurriedly said, "I hope you can come to our wedding at that time."

"I will." Bai Yingan nodded.

Nan Gongchen looked at Bai Muqing who was being held in Lin Annan's arms with a malicious smile on his face, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when she tried to seduce him last night.

"Annan, let's go, don't disturb my sister and brother-in-law's love." Bai Muqing felt a little guilty after being stared at by him, and after throwing a coquettish smile at him, she couldn't wait to leave with Lin Annan's arm in her arms.

It wasn't until he reached the corner of the store that Bai Ying'an suddenly let go of Lin Annan, turned around and stared at him with a scolding look on his face, "Master Lin, can you tell me in advance when there is such an emergency next time? You really think I'm an actor Born?"

Seeing her getting angry, Lin Annan raised his hand to touch the top of her head and said with a smile, "If I told you in advance, wouldn't you be in the mood to pick things all day?"

"But I really don't like acting, and I'm playing a woman like Bai Ying'an."

"If you don't act, Nangongchen will be suspicious, do you want him to be suspicious?" Lin Annan paused, with a threatening tone: "You should know Nangongchen's character, if he finds out that you and Bai Yingan are playing around He, not only the Bai family will be miserable, but you, Xiaoyi and your aunt will certainly not be happy either. "

"I know..." Bai Muqing said helplessly.She once heard Lin Annan say that the boss of a small company was forced by Nangong Chen to commit suicide by jumping off the building because he offended Nangong's family.

"Since the decision to switch identities is made, it's not just about Bai Yingan alone, you have to cooperate with all your strength, right? You and Bai Yingan are inconvenient to communicate, so I can only help you."

"You...have to contact each other every day?" Bai Muqing was surprised.

"Of course, we must keep track of each other's whereabouts to avoid accidental encounters. This is why I always like to ask where you are all day long."

Bai Muqing smiled wryly. It turned out that things were far from simple as she imagined, but she rarely told Lin Annan the truth because she couldn't tell him that she had been looking for her missing daughter.

Lin Annan continued: "Of course, half of today's encounter was planned by Bai Ying'an and I. She said that she felt that Nangong Chen was beginning to suspect her, so she had to let Nangong Chen know that we were about to get married and dispel him. suspicion."

Bai Muqing's heart trembled, and she asked, "What did you say? Nangong Chen has already begun to suspect?"

"It's just Bai Ying'an's own feeling, maybe she is too sensitive." Lin Annan pulled her wrist: "Let's go, let's go on to choose the dress."

Bai Muqing was taken away by Lin Annan, and her heart gradually became confused.

She couldn't imagine the consequences of Nangong Chen knowing that she had been cheated. Would she really implicate her mother and younger brother who had found it so hard?
It seems that I really have to stay away from him, especially if I can't do things like last night, no matter whether he is drunk or sick, I shouldn't care about him anymore!
My mother was right, since he can live to be 30 years old, he should be able to take care of himself!

*****
Shopping in the morning and watching a movie in the afternoon, Bai Yingan suddenly received a call from Xu Yarong when the movie was halfway through.She secretly glanced sideways at Nangong Chen next to her, then bent over and left her seat to answer the phone outside.

Xu Yarong on the other end of the phone asked straight to the point: "Ying'an, is your shopping with Nangong Chen going well?"

"It's all right, we're watching a movie now." Bai Ying'an glanced at the entrance of the theater and said in a low voice.

"Just watching movies is useless, you have to find a way to let him touch you, and when you get pregnant, you don't have to be afraid of Pu Lianyao's suspicion."

"But... what should I do to make him touch me, and I can't take the initiative." Bai Ying'an has always felt very helpless about this point. Now she is playing the role of Bai Muqing who doesn't understand the style at all. If she is too active, it will inevitably make Nangong Chen became suspicious.

Xu Yarong thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you ask him to come here for dinner tonight."

"Go back to your place for dinner? I'm afraid he won't want to." Bai Ying'an shook her head. After being married for so long, Nangong Chen has never eaten at Bai's house. How could she go back with her tonight?
"Based on his current feelings for you, he might agree. You can give it a try." Xu Yarong said it confidently.

Bai Ying'an thought for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "That's fine."

The movie ended at 05:30. After coming out of the theater, Bai Ying'an took a peek at Nangong Chen and said carefully, "Master, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter?" Nangong Chen asked.

"Accompany me to my mother's house for dinner."

Nangong Chen turned his head to look at her in surprise, Bai Ying'an hurriedly added: "I haven't been back to my mother's house for a long time, my father and my mother are not happy, and... we have been married for almost a year, you don't even have one You haven't even eaten at my house, it's a bit outrageous, isn't it?"

While speaking, she clasped her hands together and made a begging gesture to him, with an extremely cute smile on her face.

Nangong Chen was amused by her cute appearance, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it so difficult for me to speak in your heart? Do you need to sell the alliance like this?"

"I really thought so." Bai Ying'an asked cautiously: "Then Eldest Young Master, did you agree?"

"Can I not agree?"

"Great, I can finally give my mother an explanation." She stood on tiptoe excitedly, put her hands on his body, pressed a kiss on his cheek, then took out her mobile phone from her bag to call Xu Yarong He called and told her that Nangong Chen had agreed to go to Bai's house for dinner.

******
It was the first time for Nangong Chen to eat at Bai's house, Xu Yarong not only personally supervised the kitchen to prepare the meals, but also asked Bai Jingping to bring out the best private wine.

Although Bai Jingping also wanted to greet Nangong Chen, a distinguished guest, with the utmost enthusiasm, he was still reluctant to take out the good wine that he had kept privately for more than ten years.

Seeing him dawdling, Xu Yarong scolded him angrily: "Is your daughter's lifelong happiness more important than your broken bottle of foreign wine? Quickly bring it out to me."

Bai Jingping looked at her with a calculating face, and said, "I can contribute hundreds of thousands of wine, but I want to know what the hell you're up to."

"Nonsense, of course I want Ying'an to conceive Nangong Chen's child as soon as possible." Xu Yarong snatched the foreign wine from his hand.

"You don't want to drug him, do you?"

"You think I'm stupid, doing this is obviously pushing Ying'an into the fire pit."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Drunk him." Xu Yarong smiled evilly, and then said to him, "So you just try to persuade him to drink for a while."

Bai Jingping let out an 'oh', and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best, besides, Ying'an, who is so drunk after drinking, will definitely succeed."

"I hope I can achieve results." Xu Yarong took a light breath helplessly.

Bai Ying'an and Nangong Chen returned to the Bai family's mansion and drank tea in the living room. During the dinner, Bai Jingping kept looking for topics to please Nan Gongchen, while Nangong Chen was as calm as before, responding to him without saying a word. .

Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Xu Yarong hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Bai Jingping took out the foreign wine, and said to Nangong Chen with a smile: "Young Master Chen, this is a good wine that I have treasured for 12 years. I was not willing to give it to the chairman of Huatai when I talked about a list of hundreds of millions of yuan. , Today I opened a bottle for Chen Shao, Chen Shao can drink a few more glasses later."

Nangong Chen smiled slightly: "Since it is the wine that Dad has treasured for more than ten years, let's keep it, I will drive later."

But Bai Jingping opened the wine bottle with a 'bang', poured everyone a glass and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen is the most important guest of our Bai family, who else can you give it to if you don't give it to Shao Shao? No one is qualified to drink this A good wine to treasure."

"Look at you, you started talking drunk before you drank." Xu Yarong glanced at him reproachfully, then raised her glass and said to Nangong Chen: "It's rare for Chen Shao to pay his respects to our Bai family for dinner, let's respect Chen Chen for a glass less. "

"Okay, okay, it should be." Bai Jingping raised his glass in response.

Bai Ying'an glanced at everyone, and then raised his glass.

Nangong Chen couldn't refuse, so he could only accept everyone's respect, raised his head and drank the foreign wine in the cup.

The wine was really good, but Nangong Chen just got drunk last night, and it was really hard to get drunk again today, so he just took a small sip to deal with it.

Seeing that there was still half a glass in his glass, Bai Jingping immediately asked: "What's the matter? Is Master Chen not used to drinking my rare wine?"

"Do not……."

"Then drink up quickly."

Nangong Chen had no choice but to drink the remaining half cup.

As soon as he finished drinking, Xu Yarong filled it up for him immediately, then raised her glass and smiled at him: "Young Master Chen, I heard from Ying'an that you have always been very kind to her, and I am just such a biological daughter. I toast you for taking care of her on weekdays."

Nangong Chen turned his head to look at Bai Ying'an, Bai Ying'an lowered his head in embarrassment, and said angrily, "Mom, how could you tell Young Master Chen what I whispered to you?"

"What are you afraid of? It's not something bad, right, Young Master Chen." Xu Yarong turned to Nangong Chen and said.

Nangong Chen nodded with a smile, picked up the wine glass to touch her, and had to drink a second glass.

After drinking, Bai Ying'an pretended to prevent his parents from persuading him to drink, but Bai Jingping laughed: "Look, after marrying my husband, I forget my parents, and I know how to protect my husband. Daughter, it's rare for Dad to be happy, so you just let him be happy." Let's drink to our heart's content."

"That's right, next time I want to invite Young Master Chen over for dinner, but I may not be able to invite you." Xu Yarong echoed from the side.

Bai Ying'an helplessly shrugged at Nangong Chen: "See, your parents are happier than New Year's when you come here for dinner."

Nangong Chen smiled and didn't speak.

After a meal, Nangong Chen was indeed a little drunk.

Before leaving, Xu Yarong pulled Bai Ying'an to the corner, glanced at the car at the door and said, "I've taken care of it for you, and then it's up to you."

"But mom... I'm afraid... What if he gets sick again?"

"I heard that he only gets sick once or twice a month. It just happened a few days ago. It will definitely not happen tonight. Don't worry." After Xu Yarong comforted her, she reminded her worriedly: "The opportunity is rare, you You have to take care of it for me.”

"Don't worry, Mom." After being soothed by her, Bai Ying'an felt relieved, and immediately became motivated again.

Because Nangong Chen was drunk, Bai Ying'an personally drove the car home. When the car drove into the mansion of Nangong's family, Shen Ke and Pu Lianyao came back from the outside.

When Pu Lianyao got out of the car, she saw the two of them, and a big smile burst out on her face: "Cousin, cousin, you just came back?"

"Yes, I'm having dinner at my mother's house." Bai Ying'an helped the drunken Nangong Chen, and asked casually, "Why are you so late?"

"Shen Ke and I went to see a movie." Pu Lianyao said with a smile.

Shen Ke looked at Nangong Chen who was standing unsteadily, and asked, "What's wrong with cousin? Are you drunk?"

"Well, I had a good chat with my dad and drank a few more glasses."

"Let me help you help your cousin up." Shen Ke helped Nangong Chen from Bai Ying'an's hand and walked into the house.

After putting Nangong Chen on the bed, Shen Ke left Nangong Chen's bedroom, and the room fell silent instantly.
