the seventh bride

Chapter 145 Traditional Chinese Medicine
Nangong Chen's eyes flashed a dangerous light: "You were the one who chose to replace Bai Ying'an to marry into the Nangong family. You wore my Nangong family's ring, gave birth to my Nangong family's child, and knew all the secrets of my Nangong family. , who else can I marry if you don't marry me? Marry Lin Annan?"

"It has nothing to do with Lin Annan, I just..."

"Just what? Don't want to marry me?"

"Yes." Bai Muqing nodded fearlessly.

What is the relationship between her and him now?He hated her to the bone, and she blamed him for killing her grandmother, taking away her brother, mother, and the Bai family.Of course, the Bai family deserves what they deserve, and her father has never regarded her as her own daughter, so she doesn't have to care about him.

She was really afraid of the life of the Nangong family.

She was even more afraid that he married her just because he was angry and hot-headed, and he might regret it someday.

"Are you sure—?" Nangong Chen stared at her, almost gnashing his teeth.

"Don't you hate me? If you hate me, why do you still marry me? I think you should think carefully before making a decision." Bai Muqing sighed secretly after speaking, thinking that this reason should be good.

But Nangong Chen said: "This is my business, you don't need to worry about it."

"Then what about my business?" Seeing him staring at her coldly, Bai Muqing was a little scared, but she still said: "If you want me to marry you, it's fine. Give me Xiaoyi and my mother back."

She knew that Nangong Chen must be angry again.

Sure enough, he got angry and looked at her angrily for a while, then opened the door and got out of the car.From the side of the car around to her, he opened the door and dragged her out of the passenger compartment.

Bai Muqing was pulled into his arms and forced into the marriage registration hall, the movements were almost done in one go.

That's right, this man is like this, he can even domineeringly decide things like marriage by himself!
Assistant Yan saw the two people coming in, walked up and said, "Young Master Chen, Young Madam, the information has been filled out, you just need to go in and take a photo."

Under the guidance of Assistant Yan, Nan Gongchen took Bai Muqing to the photo studio.

Sitting on a long chair, the photographer aimed the camera for a moment, then raised his head and waved to Bai Muqing: "Bride, please move your bangs to the side."

Bai Muqing hurriedly brushed her bangs aside, the photographer was surprised, looked at her and said, "What's going on? The bride has a scar on her forehead?"

"Well, can I put my bangs down?" Bai Muqing scratched her bangs with her hands. The scar on her forehead was hit on the bedside table that day. The scar was still recovering after it fell off, so she specially cut it to cover the scar. bangs.

Seeing her scratching more and more chaotically, Nan Gongchen had no choice but to raise her hand and push her away, and gently straightened her bangs, which could cover the scars without covering her eyes.

Bai Muqing watched his serious face, most of the resistance in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she even felt a little warm in her heart.

"Okay, that's good." The photographer praised, then raised the camera to point the lens at them, and reminded them as soon as he adjusted the focus: "You two newcomers smiled, today is your big day, and you are all frowning and unlucky .”

"Come on, have a smile..." The photographer waited for a long time but couldn't get a satisfied smile, so he could only keep urging him.

Nangong Chen gradually became impatient, turned around and said to Bai Muqing, "Are you smiling or not? If you don't, let me out!"

"." Bai Muqing was so wronged that she was speechless.

The photographer put down the camera and said to Nangong Chen: "The groom officer, what about you, are you smiling or not?"

Nangong Chen was speechless.

The photographer simply stood up straight, looked at the two of them and said angrily: "Are you here to get married? How can you be so fierce to marry a wife on the wedding day? How will you live after this day? As a staff member of the marriage office , with your attitude, I can refuse to take photos for you to apply for a marriage certificate."

Nangong Chen's face became even uglier.

Bai Muqing suppressed her laughter, and secretly gave the photographer a thumbs up.

"You're still laughing." The photographer turned to Bai Muqing instead: "As a woman in the new era, how can you be so uninitiated and characterless, people tell you to get out, and you still stay here? You are so handsome He’s not the only one, go out bravely, anyone outside is better than him.”

Assistant Yan at the side saw that Nan Gongchen's full color had dropped to freezing point, and hurried up to smile at the photographer: "Uncle, you misunderstood, the two ancestors of our family get along like this on weekdays, beatings are hurting and scolding is the same. Love, please hurry up and take pictures of them."

The photographer looked at the two, no matter how it looked, the groom didn't seem to be hurting the bride just now.

However, he still asked Bai Muqing professionally: "Miss, are you really determined to marry this hot-tempered gentleman?"

Bai Muqing pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Actually, I am." She glanced sideways at Nangong Chen, and after meeting his warning gaze, she had no choice but to smile and said, "Very willing."

If so, Nangong Chen's face finally eased up a bit.

The photographer shook his head, looking like he was defeated by her, and turned the camera on the two of them again.

This time, he didn't care whether the two laughed or not, he pressed the camera door, looked at them and said to them: "Okay, let's go to the side to get a photo."

After a simple procedure, their marriage was formally established.

When Assistant Yan handed the two marriage certificates into the compartment, Bai Muqing held a red certificate in one hand, and a thousand emotions surged in her heart.

Unexpectedly, she was really married, really married to Nangong Chen, this man who was once shunned by all the women in the city, and now he is loved by all the women in the city!
Seeing her staring at the marriage certificate in a daze, Nangong Chen said mockingly: "What should I do? It's too late to disagree now."

"Then. Just live with it." She handed one of the books to him: "This is yours."

Opening the inside page, it shows the names of Nangong Chen and Bai Muqing, and the words "officially married".

'Officially married' Bai Muqing stared at these words for a long time, still feeling like a dream in her heart.

The previous marriage certificate had Bai Ying'an's name on it, but now it has been changed to Bai Muqing. Was there a time when she had this kind of dream?She remembers it!
When she saw the photo above, she burst out laughing with a 'poof'.

After Nangong Chen took the marriage certificate, he didn't open it to read it, but threw it directly into the small cabinet next to the steering wheel. Hearing that she was still sad, she suddenly laughed, otherwise she had to turn her head and follow her looked at the marriage certificate.

Bai Muqing held up the marriage certificate in front of him, and couldn't help laughing and said: "It's the first time I've seen you so ugly. It's really the uncle who said it. If you walk out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, you can grab anyone who is more handsome than you."

In the photo, Nangong Chen frowned slightly, and the smile he managed to squeeze out was uglier than crying. It is true that he is much uglier, but he is still a little far from being ugly.

Nangong Chen looked at the photo above, and said disdainfully: "Why don't you laugh at yourself?"

Bai Muqing deliberately ignored her ugly photos, and said, "I was forced into marriage, so there is a reason for being ugly."

Nan Gongchen ignored her, started the car and left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

While collecting the marriage certificate, Bai Muqing said, "Since we're married, what's yours will be mine from now on, and what's mine will be yours."

"So what do you have?"

"I have Xiaoyi and my mother." Bai Muqing said.

Nangong Chen glanced at her sideways: "What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that since the two of us are married, Xiao Yi has become our common younger brother. You have the responsibility to take good care of him and cure his illness, right?" Bai Muqing said very carefully, but also firmly .

"That's what Lin Annan promised you back then?"

"Yes, otherwise I would not agree to marry him."

Nangong Chen didn't say anything more, and drove her towards Huamao.

When the car drove to the gate of Huahuo, Secretary Liu was already waiting there. Seeing Nangong Chen's car, he immediately greeted him affectionately. You are here."

Nangong Chen nodded at her, and said to Bai Muqing: "You can eat outside at noon, if you are tired from shopping, you can go to the company with Secretary Liu and wait for me to get off work."

"I see." Bai Muqing opened the door and got out of the car.

After Nangongchen's car drove away, Secretary Liu affectionately took Bai Muqing's arm and said with a smile, "Young Madam, let's go. I know Huamao very well. I can find you any clothes you want."

It was Bai Muqing's first contact with Secretary Liu, and she was not used to her familiarity, but she was too embarrassed to refuse him so warmly, so she smiled at her, and walked inside together with her.

As expected, Secretary Liu was a frequent visitor here, and she knew the products inside very well, so she directly took Bai Muqing to a brand store with a fashionable style and suitable for her.

Bai Muqing didn't pick out clothes in the first place, so she quickly picked out the clothes.

After shopping for clothes, Secretary Liu took Bai Muqing to eat and drink milk tea in a coffee shop inside, pushed a cup of iced milk tea in front of her and said, "The milk tea here is delicious, would you like to bring a cup back for Young Master Chen?" ?”

"No need, he doesn't drink these things." As far as she knew, Nan Gongchen only drank coffee and green tea, nothing else.

"No, I think Assistant Yan sometimes brings him milk tea."

"Really? Maybe he drinks once in a while."

Secretary Liu said with a smile: "However, Assistant Yan has always been very kind to Young Master Chen, let alone milk tea, if you see any good things on weekdays, you will buy them back for Young Master Chen."

Secretary Liu flipped through the cards casually, as if he didn't intend to mention it.

When Bai Muqing heard her say this, she just smiled casually and didn't think much about it.

Secretary Liu turned around for a while, then raised her head again: "By the way, Young Madam, how well do you know Assistant Yan?"

"Not much, what's the matter?"

"Oh, in fact, we don't know much about her. I feel that she is a very cold and mysterious person, especially the feelings for Chen Shao. That's true." Liu Mishou suddenly stopped the end of the sentence and used Covering her mouth with her hand, she stared at Bai Muqing embarrassingly.

"Sorry, I mean."

"It's okay, I understand." Bai Muqing smiled at her.

"Well, Young Madam, please don't get me wrong." Secretary Liu heaved a sigh of relief: "Actually, we also listened to the discussions of the colleagues below. Of course, we all believe that Assistant Yan is a person, and he will definitely not have anything wrong with Chen Shao. Thought."

Bai Muqing nodded, gave her a small smile, then lowered her head and drank the milk tea.

Secretary Liu's careful thought, how could she not see it? It was nothing more than seeing that Assistant Yan was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to use her hand to eradicate Assistant Yan.

It's just that this little secretary thinks highly of her, not to mention that she has no status in Nangong Chen's eyes, even if she did, she would not interfere with the company's affairs, nor would it be her turn to intervene.

Nangong Chen had warned her a long time ago that he would choose whichever woman he wanted, and she was not qualified to ask.

She still doesn't know the relationship between Nangong Chen and Assistant Yan, but based on her intuition and little understanding of Assistant Yan, she thinks that Assistant Yan is not that kind of person.

After finishing their lunch in the coffee shop, the two of them strolled around Huamao again. Bai Muqing, who didn't plan to buy anything, felt bored, so she decided to go back to Nangongchen's office and wait for him to get off work.

When passing by the entrance of that coffee shop, Bai Muqing thought about it, and finally went in and bought two cups of milk tea.

Back at Nangongchen's office, Assistant Yan happened to be discussing work with Nangongchen inside.

Secretary Liu politely said to Nangong Chen: "Young Master Chen, Young Madam said that she doesn't want to go shopping anymore and wants to come back to the company to wait for you to get off work."

"Come in." Nangong Chen said flatly.

Bai Muqing walked in, glanced at the two of them, put the two servings of milk tea in her hand on Nangong Chen's desk and smiled slightly: "This is the milk tea for you two, it tastes very pure."

Assistant Yan took one of the cups of milk tea and smiled gratefully at her: "Thank you."

"No, I just brought it back."

"However..." Assistant Yan looked at the other cup of milk tea and said, "Young Master Chen doesn't drink milk tea."

Bai Muqing was slightly surprised. Secretary Liu had just said that Assistant Yan usually brought milk tea to Nangong Chen. She looked at the milk tea, then at Nangong Chen, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, throw it away if you don't want to drink it. Well, it’s not expensive anyway.”

It's really hard to justify being so ignorant of my husband's taste!

"It's a pity to throw it away. I'll just give it to Assistant Huang to drink." Assistant Yan stood up from the chair and said, "Then you guys talk, I'll go out to work first."

"It's fine to go out to work, but keep the milk tea." Nan Gongchen pointed to the milk tea in one of her hands.

Assistant Yan was slightly surprised, then smiled and put one of the cups of milk tea back on the table, then turned and left his office.

After Assistant Yan left, Bai Muqing looked at the milk tea on the table, stared at Nangong Chen and asked doubtfully, "Then, do you drink milk tea, young master?"

"I didn't drink it before." Nangong Chen picked up the milk tea, looked at her and said, "But the first gift from the new wife, even if I don't like to drink it, I have to try it, right?"

He took a sip of milk tea and frowned slightly: "It doesn't taste very good."

"If you can't drink it, don't force it."

Nangong Chen took another sip before putting the milk tea back on the table: "But this thing is not clean, you should try to drink as little as possible in the future, do you hear me?"

"I heard." Bai Muqing stuck out her tongue, thinking that this man is just used to being arrogant, and everything feels unclean.

Nangong Chen lowered his head to deal with his work again, and casually said, "There are magazines and newspapers in the VIP room, and there is a coffee shop and entertainment room in the annex building, and there is a lounge inside. Find a place to pass the time by yourself."

Bai Muqing finally chose to take a nap in the lounge.

She looked around, and found that the lounge here was no worse than the luxurious bedroom at home. She walked to the big bed in the middle of the bedroom and lay down. The breath that belonged to him faintly stained her senses, and it smelled comfortable and pleasant.

Perhaps because it was too comfortable, she quickly fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she slept, but she didn't wake up until Nangong Chen came to call her, then sat up from the bed, stared at him and asked, "Did I oversleep?"

Nangong Chen raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "It's going to be over soon."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." After Bai Muqing got off the bed, she began to search everywhere for the shopping bag she brought back from Huamao.

Seeing that she was so confused that she couldn't even see such a big bag on the table, Nangong Chen picked up the bag and stuffed it into her arms.Bai Muqing took the bag, thanked him and asked, "By the way, where is the dressing room?"

"There are no locker rooms here."

"what?"

"Ah what? Where have I not seen you?" Nangong Chen wickedly did not tell her that although there is no dressing room here, there is a bathroom.

And the foolish Bai Muqing had no choice but to turn her back, shyly stripped off her clothes as quickly as possible, and put on a newly bought skirt.

After changing the skirt, she turned around and said to Nangong Chen, "Is this skirt okay?"

Nangong Chen came back to his senses and nodded: "It's fine to dress decently when you go back to your own home. You don't need to make too many plans to see if it looks good."

go home.

Why does it sound so awkward?
Realizing that Nangong Chen had already left, she hurriedly followed him and left the office behind him.

*********
Dinner was average, nothing special.

It was still the same people as before, and only Pu Lianyao was guiding everyone to talk and chat.

As usual, Bai Muqing went back upstairs after dinner, and she went back to the bedroom where she lived at the beginning.It's just that this bedroom has already been lived in by Bai Ying'an, and all her belongings are placed in it.

The relationship between her and Bai Ying'an was like an enemy, but if she looked at everything that belonged to her today, she would feel somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and it was Sister He who walked in with the old lady. Sister He was holding a bowl of black Chinese medicine in her hand.

Bai Muqing glanced at the medicine bowl in Sister He's hand, greeted the old lady politely, and helped her sit down on the sofa.

After the old lady sat down, she pointed at the Chinese medicine on the table with her chin and said, "This is the Chinese medicine specially found by Master Wang. Drinking it can prevent deformities in children."

Bai Muqing was stunned, and looked at the bowl of medicine again.

It was actually a medicine to make her pregnant?The old lady dared to make her pregnant?
The old lady seemed to understand her surprise, and said: "The child has been away for so long, it's time for you to plan to get pregnant again, isn't it?"

"Grandma..." Bai Muqing opened her mouth and looked at the medicine bowl: "Does the young master know that you are doing this?"

Nangong Chen refused to let her conceive last time, and even forced her to abort the child again and again after she was pregnant, and the last child hurt everyone so much, how could Nangong Chen agree to let her have another baby? Pregnant with one?
"What does it matter if you know?"

"But... I'm afraid he will be as unhappy as before."

"At the beginning, it was because I didn't have these medicines, but now I'm fine. After taking these medicines, I can definitely give birth to a healthy child. He has no reason to disagree."

Bai Muqing didn't say a word, the old lady sized her up and said, "I see that Chen spends more time outside than at home recently, you must be making a fuss at night, right?"

The old lady asked very reservedly, but Bai Muqing's face was still slightly red.

She nodded shyly.

The old lady smiled: "That's good, take the medicine quickly."

Bai Muqing looked at the black medicine on the table, she didn't want to go against the old lady's wishes, so she obediently picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip.The taste of this medicine was extremely bitter, it was about to catch up with Nangong Chen's medicine, she really couldn't drink it any longer, so she lied to the old lady: "I need some soup for the medicine, I will drink it later."

"Okay, remember to drink it."

"I will."

The old lady got up from the sofa and left her bedroom with Sister He.

After the old lady left for a long time, Bai Muqing made sure that she would not come back suddenly, then picked up the medicine bowl and went to the bathroom, and poured the bowl of medicine into the sink.

When she came out of the bathroom, she was startled by Nan Gongchen who suddenly appeared by the bathroom door.She heaved a long breath, and said in a bad mood: "Are you walking and running without making a sound? You scared me to death."

"If you don't do something wrong, how can you be scared so easily?" Nan Gongchen glanced at the medicine bowl in her hand.

Bai Muqing hurriedly hid the bowl behind her back.

"What the hell is it?" It's good that she didn't hide it, but Nangong Chen became suspicious by hiding it like this.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Bai Muqing had no choice but to take out the medicine bowl she was carrying behind her back, and said, "It's the medicine that grandma brought me. She said that if you drink it and conceive again, the baby will have no problems."

Nangong Chen's face darkened instantly, and his pupils also tightened.

Bai Muqing hurriedly explained: "But don't worry, I've already poured out the medicine."

Obviously, she didn't understand the reason for his face change.

"Why did you pour the medicine down?" Nangong Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Don't you want children? If you don't want children, I don't need to drink these medicines." Bai Muqing said seriously.

Nangong Chen suddenly stepped in, leaned over and blocked her against the sink, staring at her closely: "Is it because you don't want to have a baby or I don't want to?"

Bai Muqing panicked from being stared at by him, she leaned back and leaned against the sink: "Isn't it always the one you didn't want to have? I was thinking of you."

She admitted that she didn't want to have a baby either, but she was afraid that if she told the truth, he would be angry.

How could she be in the mood to have a child at this time, even the marriage was forced to be settled in a hurry today. With Xiaoyi and the child still missing, she really didn't want to have another child to tie herself down .

Besides, who knows if this medicine is effective, who knows if her last pregnancy was a deformed fetus?
"Then I am willing to give birth this time, should you insist on drinking these medicines?" Nan Gongchen still stared at her and said.

"What did you say?" Bai Muqing was surprised, he actually agreed to make her pregnant?Last time he was clearly against it! "You want kids?"

"Yes, I want it, how about you?"

"Me." Bai Muqing was speechless, of course she didn't want to, but how could she say this so as not to annoy him?
what to do?He wants a child, and he actually wants a child abnormally. This is not like his personality at all!

In order not to offend him, she nodded and said, "Of course I thought about it too."

"I knew you wanted to." Nangong Chen stepped back abruptly, and smiled mockingly: "The child is your woman's talisman, how could you not want it?"

Bai Muqing thought to herself, let him say what he wants, as long as he is not angry.

After coming out of the bathroom, Bai Muqing saw that he was about to leave the bedroom, so she hurriedly called him and said, "Eldest young master, can you change a room for me?"

Nangong Chen turned around and looked around: "Why? Is this room not good?"

"I don't like to live in a room that someone else has lived in, especially someone I don't like."

Nangong Chen thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

"Then please ask them to clean up a room for me."

"No, there are ready-made ones."

"where?"

"Come with me." Nangong Chen turned and walked towards the door, Bai Muqing hurriedly followed, feeling a little flattered in her heart, it seemed that this man wasn't too difficult to talk to.

Nangong Chen led her to the opposite bedroom, pushed open the door, and pointed with his chin: "This one."

"This one?" Bai Muqing was surprised, he let her live in his bedroom?What about him?
Nangong Chen looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "What? This room was also lived in by someone you don't like?"

"No..." Even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to say yes, otherwise she would probably be killed by him.

"Then I'll live in this room temporarily." After Nan Gongchen finished speaking, he turned and walked to the study.

Bai Muqing stood blankly at the door of his bedroom for a while, thinking that it's okay, it's just a one-night thing anyway, and she will leave tomorrow.

Nangong Chen went to the study, and Bai Muqing stood alone in his big bedroom, feeling slightly at a loss.

Although it was not the first time she had entered this bedroom, she had always regarded it as a farce in the past, and had been deliberately forgetting it.Now standing here with a new identity, it feels so strange.

Of course, she didn't dare to expect Nangong Chen to live in the study room. With his attitude towards her during this time, it would be good if he didn't bully her.

While taking a shower, Bai Muqing realized that she forgot to buy pajamas today, and she never thought that she would spend the night at the old house.

Opening the sliding door of the closet, there are still only Nangong Chen's clothes inside, and there are various styles for various occasions.And she still picked out a relatively long shirt and went in to take a shower just like last night.

After taking a shower and watching TV again, Nan Gongchen hadn't come from the study yet.

Bai Muqing, who was lying on the bed, turned around and saw the extension phone on the bedside table, and suddenly realized that Nangong Chen seemed to have forgotten to dial the phone line.what happened?Is he going to lower his surveillance on her?Changed attitude so quickly?
She picked up the phone and listened, but she did not dial the line.

Could it be that Bai Muqing glanced at the marriage certificate that Nangong Chen casually threw on the table, or did he think that this marriage certificate was enough to tie her everything, don't worry about her going to Lin Annan, and don't worry about her going to Xiaoyi!
If this is the case, then this man is too confident!
Bai Muqing fell asleep amidst such wild thoughts, and slept soundly.

When Nangong Chen walked in, he saw her lying on her side on the edge of the bed, almost falling off the bed.Wearing his shirt, he was sexy and alluring, with his slender legs curled up slightly, probably because the air conditioner was turned on too much.

Nan Gongchen withdrew his gaze from her, leaned over and grabbed her quilt and threw it on her, and after turning up the room temperature, he went around to the other side of the bed and lay down.

*******
The next day, Bai Muqing woke up and found that she was lying on the bed alone and fell asleep. It took her 2 minutes to adapt to the new environment in front of her and review everything from last night.This is Nangongchen's bedroom. She and Nangongchen got their marriage certificate last night and became a formal husband and wife relationship.

Then I went back to Nangong's old house. When she fell asleep, Nangong Chen was still busy working in the study. I wonder if he went back to the bedroom to sleep?
She looked down at her intact shirt, and then at the other side of the bed, where there were clearly signs of pain from being slept on.It seems that he came back to sleep last night, but he didn't bother her.

How strange that he should not bother her!

Bai Muqing sat up from the bed, and when she was about to get out of bed, she heard the door opening of the dressing room, followed by the fully dressed Nan Gongchen coming out from inside.

Bai Muqing hastily smoothed the shirt on her body that was not quite covering her body, and said to him in embarrassment: "Morning!"

"You bought a skirt after shopping for a long time yesterday?" Nangong Chen glanced at her shirt that belonged to him.

"I thought I'd go back to the small villa after dinner, so..." Bai Muqing tugged on her pajamas. His big-brand shirts were worn by her as pajamas time and time again, as if it was a little too much .

Nangong Chen didn't care about the shirt, and even liked seeing her wandering around the room wearing his shirt, fresh and cute.He didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the bedroom door.

Vaguely, Bai Muqing could hear Nan Gongchen instructing the servant at the door: "Remove all the things in the young lady's room."

"Okay, young master, do you need a new one?" the maid asked.

Nangong Chen pondered for a moment before saying: "No need, just leave it empty."

leave it empty?That is, she will go back to the small villa in a while, and she will lose her freedom again.
