the seventh bride

Chapter 140 Why Her

Bai Muqing sat on the terrace on the third floor, looking longingly in the direction of the villa's gate.

Waiting for people from outside to come in has become her main task these days.Although every day is disappointing, she still insists on waiting every day.

Because there is no way out for her except to wait.

After waiting all afternoon, the sound of a car finally sounded outside, and Bai Muqing got up from the ground almost immediately.When she saw Assistant Yan coming out of the carriage, a slight disappointment flashed in her heart, but she still turned around and ran downstairs eagerly.

She ran to the first floor, and Assistant Yan just walked in from the outside. She went up to meet her and asked expectantly, "Assistant Yan, Young Master Chen forgive me, right? He asked you to let me out, right?"

Assistant Yan shook her head: "Miss Bai, you think too well of Young Master Chen."

With her heart sinking, the smile on Bai Muqing's face froze.

That's right, how could Nangong Chen let her go so easily?It was she who waited stupidly and thought too much.

Assistant Yan looked at her and said solemnly: "Today is the old lady's 80th birthday, and I plan to have dinner with the whole family at the hotel tonight. These are the clothes to wear for dinner at night, and there is also a birthday present for the old lady."

Bai Muqing looked at the paper bag in her hand in surprise, and then at her.

"By the way, you don't know yet. Young Master Chen thinks this matter is embarrassing. He was afraid of irritating the old lady, so he didn't mention it to anyone. In the evening, Miss Bai will still attend the dinner as the young lady, but you must remember that Don't make any mistakes."

Bai Muqing still didn't understand why it was her and not Bai Ying'an?

After a long time, she carefully asked the doubt in her heart: "Why not Bai Ying'an...she...."

Seeing that the expression on Assistant Yan's face sank, she didn't dare to continue.

"Miss Bai." Assistant Yan stared at her with an uneasy expression, "It seems that what I said to you last time was playing the piano against the cow."

"I'm sorry." Bai Muqing hurriedly lowered her head.

Assistant Yan raised his watch and glanced at the time: "The dinner starts at six o'clock. If Ms. Bai doesn't want to be late and make Chen Shao angry, please go upstairs and dress up as soon as possible."

Bai Muqing took the bag, turned around and walked upstairs quickly.

This is a dress skirt that isn't particularly special, but it suits her temperament very well. Looking at herself in the mirror, Bai Muqing finally doesn't need to dress up indecently, and can finally be herself.

You don’t need to put on bright make-up, you don’t need to wear high heels over ten centimeters, and you don’t even need to wear ostentatious jewelry.

She followed Assistant Yan to a star-rated hotel, and after parking the car in the underground parking lot, Assistant Yan called Nangong Chen, and after learning that Nangong Chen was on his way, she said to Bai Muqing: "Miss Bai, you Wait here for a while, Young Master Chen will be there soon."

"I see." Bai Muqing got out of the car and stood beside her.

Assistant Yan didn't leave immediately, apparently worried about leaving her here alone.

Soon, Nangong Chen's car drove in from the entrance. When Bai Muqing saw Nangong Chen's car, she unconsciously backed up a little, looking at him with some anxiety.

Nan Gongchen walked up to her and stood still, glanced at her and sneered: "What? Are you scared? Where did the courage to play with me go?"

Bai Muqing lowered her head and did not speak.

The two stepped into the elevator together, and the four mirrors in the elevator reflected their figures. Bai Muqing was holding the birthday present for the old lady in both hands, and she kept wringing her fingers because she felt uncomfortable.

Nangong Chen's eyes fell on the gold inlaid jade ring on her ring finger, her brows sank slightly, this was his Nangong family's ring, he hadn't even noticed that the ring on Bai Yingan's ring finger was fake.

There are also tooth marks on her wrists, two old ones on her left wrist and one new one on her right wrist, which he deliberately left for her on Seven Star Mountain.

He stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed her right hand and raised it high, staring at the gold inlaid jade ring on her ring finger.Bai Muqing was taken aback by his sudden movement, and instinctively retracted her little hand, but failed to retract.

what is he doingWhy stare at this ring like this?
Nangong Chen raised his eyes and glanced at her, seeing the panic in her eyes, and then smiled mockingly: "Why don't you put on your big ring?"

Bai Muqing's face turned hot, and she turned away in embarrassment.

The elevator stopped in front of the revolving restaurant on the top floor, Bai Muqing instinctively wanted to retract her palm, but Nan Gongchen did not let go, but put her palm in his arms, and led her into the restaurant together.

Although Bai Muqing felt uncomfortable, she also understood what Nangong Chen meant. She bent her fingers and tightly grasped the cloth in his arms.

When the two appeared together in the private room, everyone was already there.

"Cousin, cousin, you're here." The youngest of the Lin family greeted the two, with obvious mockery in his tone.It's just that after Nangong Chen glanced coldly, he shrank his neck and settled down.

The Lin couple had received a warning from Nangong Chen before, not to make this matter public, so when they saw Nangong Chen bringing Bai Muqing out, although they were surprised, on the surface they could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Bai Muqing greeted the old lady, and gave her the birthday present that Assistant Yan had prepared for her.The gift was an expensive jade bracelet, the old lady was not short of these things, it was just a gift.

The old lady picked up the jade bracelet meaningfully and admired it. Pu Lianyao, who had been talking with the old lady just now, looked at the bracelet, then raised her head, looked at Bai Muqing and said with a smile: "The jade bracelet my sister-in-law picked is so beautiful, it should be quite expensive right?"

Bai Muqing was too nervous just now, she didn't notice Pu Lianyao who was next to the old lady. When Pu Lianyao asked, she finally noticed her.

She was already uncomfortable, but after seeing Pu Lianyao, she became more nervous and her heart beat faster. Pu Lianyao knew the secret between her and Bai Ying'an all along, and she revealed it herself.

Her leg is broken, shouldn't she be hated to the bone?How could he smile at her like nothing happened?In a panic, she gave Pu Lianyao a polite smile: "Anyway, it's Chen Shao's money, I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha."

"I've accepted the gift, let's sit down and eat." The old lady handed the jade bracelet to Sister He.

Bai Muqing nodded, walked to the seat beside Nangong Chen and sat down.

She looked around, but did not see Lin Annan's figure, why didn't he come to such an important party?Could it be...

She turned her head to look at Nangongchen, just in time to meet Nangongchen's line of sight, as if understanding her thoughts, Nangongchen whispered in her ear: "No need to look for it, your beloved Lin Ershao has gone abroad, and he will be there again." won't be coming back either."

"What do you mean?" Bai Muqing asked instinctively.

Lin Annan went abroad?And never come back?How can it be!

Must be forced, right?Otherwise, with Lin Annan's personality, he would definitely not disappear suddenly when he went abroad to play.

Nangong Chen ignored her and lowered his head to eat the food.

After eating a meal, Bai Muqing felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and she didn't know how to eat. After about three to ten minutes, she couldn't bear it any longer, and she got up and wanted to leave her seat.

Seeing her get up, Nangong Chen immediately held her little hand on the table and asked with a low voice, "Where are you going?"

"I... go to the bathroom."

"Remember, don't leave the private room."

"I see." Bai Muqing was a little speechless, wondering if she was so close to her?
In fact, she didn't want to go to the bathroom, she just wanted to get out of everyone's sight and come to get some air. Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, she let out a long breath at herself in the mirror, and her depressed mood finally improved a little.

Not long after she stood there, the door of the bathroom was pushed open, and Pu Lianyao walked in with the help of the waiter.

Bai Muqing was startled for a moment, then smiled at her out of politeness.

"Cousin, why are you so pale?" Pu Lianyao raised her hand to signal the waiter to go out, then looked at Bai Muqing's pale face.

Bai Muqing raised her hand to touch her face, was it pale?Probably just spooked out.

"It's nothing, it should be because I didn't sleep well yesterday." Bai Muqing glanced at her legs, and asked with concern: "Your legs... are you okay?"

"I'm already sitting in a wheelchair, how can it be okay?" Pu Lianyao smiled.

"sorry……."

"What are you talking about? I'm sorry. I know you are innocent. If you want to blame, blame that woman Bai Ying'an."

Bai Muqing didn't expect her to say that, and felt a little bitter in her heart, everyone believed that she was innocent and could forgive her, but it was Nangong Chen who refused to forgive.

Pu Lianyao looked at her, and comforted her: "Cousin, I believe that one day my cousin will forgive you like me, don't be discouraged."

"Thank you."

Pu Lianyao still looked at her, thought for a while and then said: "I believe you must also be very curious about why I exposed Bai Yingan's tricks, right? In fact, I noticed her abnormality shortly after she entered Nangong's house. My cousin fell ill. At that time, he not only failed to take good care of his cousin, but also almost caused his cousin to lose his life. She didn't care about her cousin at all. What she loved was herself, and she was the young wife of the Nangong family. Such a person was not worthy of being his cousin's wife at all. ,so……."

She smiled bitterly: "That's why I exposed her and let you go back to my cousin."

"Cousin, he needs you." Pu Lianyao moved forward, holding Bai Muqing's little hand: "I remember before I entered Nangong's house, Shen Ke told me that we exist to protect cousin, you As his wife, she has the same mission as us. Cousin, no matter what happens in the future, don't abandon my cousin like this again, do you understand?"

Bai Muqing looked at her in surprise, she never thought that Pu Lianyao would say such words to her.

Is this the purpose of her risking her life to expose Bai Ying'an?How could she, an outsider, make such a big sacrifice for Nangong Chen?

Although Bai Muqing was puzzled, she didn't ask, but replied with a smile: "I will."

This answer is obviously a casual perfunctory, now that she and Nangong Chen have come to this point, what else can be changed?How could Nangong Chen forgive her.Even if Nangong Chen is willing to forgive, what about her?Her father, her family... With so many obstacles, how could she return to him?

Get back together with Nangong Chen?It's impossible in this life!
"Lianyao, do you want to go to the bathroom? Let me help you." She didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed her words.

Pu Lianyao shook her head and smiled slightly: "No, I can still go to the bathroom."

"Then I'll go out first."

"it is good."

From the beginning of the banquet, Young Master Lin, who was born as an alcoholic, has been pestering Nangong Chen and Shen Ke to drink.Bai Muqing went to the bathroom and came back, only to find that Young Master Lin was still persuading them to drink, while Nangong Chen was obviously drunk.

On such a great day, even the old lady did not stop them.

In the end, Young Master Lin even suggested going to the bar to continue drinking after dinner. Nangong Chen didn't like Young Master Lin in the first place, so naturally he wouldn't go with him.

He reached out and hugged Bai Muqing's shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "I still have to send your cousin back home, so don't reserve my share for the second half."

"You don't need to reserve my share, I want to take my wife home too." Shen Ke echoed.

Young Master Lin shrugged speechlessly: "Well, it can only be another day."

After the Lin couple pushed each other for a while, Lin Daoran finally took up the wine glass and walked up to Nangong Chen, and smiled flatteringly: "Chen, let me toast you, as I apologize to you for some bad things in the past. .”

"This glass of wine should indeed be respected." The old lady said plainly.

Nangong Chen Ru held up the wine glass and touched him, then drank up the foreign wine in it.

Madam Lin also came up to make amends, and while apologizing, she casually glanced at Bai Muqing who was beside Nangong Chen, and feeling her gaze, Bai Muqing quickly lowered her head.

After finally getting through the banquet, they all dispersed one after another. The old lady, Shen Ke and Pu Lianyao returned to the old house in their car, while Bai Muqing stood aside and waited for Nangong Chen's arrangement.

After everyone had left, Bai Muqing realized that only she and Nangong Chen were in the parking lot.

Fortunately, Assistant Yan appeared soon and parked the car beside the two of them.

Bai Muqing saw that Nangong Chen was a little drunk, so she walked over, hesitatingly stretched out her hand to help his arm.However, Nangong Chen raised his hand to shake off her hands, and walked in the direction of the car.

Bai Muqing was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly got into the car through the door on the other side.

When the car drove out of the underground parking lot, Bai Muqing realized that it was raining outside at some point, and she didn't notice it just now because she was only nervous in the restaurant.

Along the way, Bai Muqing huddled herself in a corner and remained silent, while Nan Gongchen was probably drunk, and sat on the other side to rest with her eyes closed.

Bai Muqing really wanted to remind Assistant Yan that she should send Nangong Chen home first, but she was unwilling to swallow the words. At this time, she must not talk too much when she can, because Nangong Chen said that she heard her Voice hates seeing her figure!

It wasn't until she parked the car at the door of the main house of the small villa that she said cautiously to Nan Gongchen: "That... Eldest young master, I'll get out of the car first, be careful on the road."

After she said this, she opened the door and got out of the car. Unexpectedly, Nan Gongchen got out of the car as soon as she got out of the car.

Nangong Chen held on to the car door, bent down and vomited, Bai Muqing hurried over to support his body, Assistant Yan also got out of the car in a hurry, took an umbrella and a bottle of mineral water from the trunk.

Bai Muqing took the mineral water in her hand, unscrewed the cap and rinsed Nangong Chen's mouth.

Nangong Chen vomited for a while, emptied the contents of his stomach, and then supported his body to straighten up.

"The young master's clothes are all wet, let's help him into the house to change." Assistant Yan said.

Bai Muqing didn't have time to think about it, so she and Assistant Yan helped him walk into the house.

Assistant Yan seemed to know the structure of the house better than Bai Muqing, so she directly helped Nangong Chen to a master bedroom on the second floor. After putting him on the bed, she patted the wet hair on her forehead and said, "Bai Muqing Miss, find some clean clothes for Young Master Chen."

"Okay." Bai Muqing glanced at Assistant Yan's wet clothes, and said, "Assistant Yan, your clothes are also wet, I'll go find me a suit first."

"No, I'll just go back and change it." She glanced at Nangong Chen on the bed: "Let Chen live here less tonight, I'll go back first."

Bai Muqing glanced at Nangong Chen who was on the bed with her, nodded and said "OK".

After Assistant Yan left, only Bai Muqing and Nangong Chen were left in the bedroom. The room was so quiet that Nangong Chen's even breathing could be heard.

I don't know if it's because I haven't served Nangong Chen for a long time, or because of these things that happened recently, Bai Muqing looked at Nangong Chen who was sleeping soundly, and felt a little embarrassed to touch his clothes.

Not only was his clothes wet, but his hair was also wet. If he just lay there overnight, he would definitely catch a cold.

Although a little embarrassed, she still found a set of clean pajamas from the closet and got a basin of hot water from the bathroom and put it on the floor, ready to help him wipe and change his clothes.

He was wearing a dark shirt, Bai Muqing stretched out her hand cautiously, as soon as her fingertips touched the button on his neck, she quickly retracted it.

With a wry smile, she wondered why she acted like she was sneak attacking?Obviously, he can help him change it generously and leave.

After taking a light breath, she put her fingers on his buttons again, then quickly unbuttoned his clothes for him, and took off his shirt.

His vigorous body was revealed, Bai Muqing slightly avoided his sight, bent down and twisted a hot towel to help him wipe his body.

Sensing his body reacting, Bai Muqing looked up at him shyly.Unexpectedly, this look met his gaze, and she immediately dropped the towel in her hand in fright.

When did he wake up, she didn't know at all!
Maybe she was too nervous, she didn't realize that she tore his body back and forth to change his clothes, and then wiped him with a hot towel, no matter how sleepy she was, it was time to wake up.

Nan Gongchen watched her little face turn from white to red with drunken eyes, shyly shimmering.

He suddenly grabbed her palm and sneered at her: "Why are you pretending to be innocent?"

Bai Muqing instinctively wanted to shrink back.However, Nan Gongchen seemed to be doing it on purpose, but he refused to let her palm leave him.

She tugged at her palm, but he pressed it even tighter. He teased her with his drunkenness: "Can't you act? Play a young lady and show me. I'll let your mother go tomorrow after I finish the act." and brother."

Bai Muqing's struggling palm stopped, and she raised her eyes to meet him: "Are you serious? Will you really let my mother and Xiaoyi go?"

"You can try it." Nangong Chen sneered.

Bai Muqing looked at the expression on his face, she was as unreliable as possible, but since he said so, at least it's a chance, isn't it?If he didn't lie to her, then mother and Xiaoyi would be saved.

Besides, according to what she knew about Nangong Chen, he always keeps his word!
"Why? Don't you want to?" His blurred vision tightened little by little: "Or do you still have Lin Annan in your heart? Your body only contributes to him?"

"no.."

"No? Then why don't you dare? Aren't you very worried about your brother? If it were Lin Annan, wouldn't you be eager to climb on him without my invitation? You."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Muqing leaned down and kissed his lips.

Nangong Chen's eyes moved slightly, since he was a little surprised by her.

Bai Muqing took the initiative to kiss him, and whispered in his ear: "Whether you believe it or not, Lin Annan and I are innocent, and you are the only man in my life."

Nangong Chen was stunned for a moment, then threw her to the ground: "Liar!"

Bai Muqing was overturned by him on the wool carpet, but luckily the carpet was thick enough and didn't hurt too much.She knew that he would not believe her, anyway, no matter what she said now, he would not believe it anymore.

It was her own fault too, it was she who made him lose his trust!

She quietly got up from the ground, then climbed back to the bed, kissed his lips again, softly and clumsily.She could feel Nangong Chen's chest rising and falling with anger.

She bit her red lips bitterly, and hugged his waist tightly.

It wasn't until his breath gradually stabilized that she carefully pushed him aside and got up from the bed.

She thought he was asleep, but he didn't. His arms were tightly around her waist to prevent her from leaving.

"Eldest young master, I'll get you a basin of hot water to wash your body." She turned her back to him and said cautiously.

Finally, he let her go.

Bai Muqing quickly slid under the bed, pulled off the thin quilt covering him, picked up her own clothes from the ground and put them on one by one, then went into the bathroom to change into a basin of hot water.

Standing in front of the sink, she saw herself in a mess in the mirror, as well as the brand new mark on her neck. Suddenly, she was in a trance for a moment. What the hell is going on between her and him now?

The next day, Bai Muqing got up early, told Aunt Dumb that Nangong Chen was here, and asked her to bring some yams to cook porridge when she was shopping for vegetables.

When Aunt Dumb heard that Nangong Chen was here, she naturally didn't dare to neglect her.

Bai Muqing cooked the yam porridge with her own hands, and when she came out of the kitchen, she happened to see Nangong Chen coming down the stairs.She stood on one side and looked at him, seeing that he was about to walk across the living room to the gate, so she said cautiously: "Eldest young master, breakfast is ready, you can eat before leaving."

Nangong Chen threw her a sentence without looking back: "Don't eat."

"No, you vomited up last night. If you don't eat breakfast, you will easily faint." Bai Muqing followed.

Seeing that he still didn't intend to stop, Bai Muqing yelled anxiously: "Eldest Young Master, I have something to tell you."

Nangong Chen turned his head, glanced at the imprint on her neck that couldn't be concealed, the picture of last night suddenly flashed in his mind, and then said indifferently: "What do you want to say?"
