Miss Yu, come to my bowl
Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Shen Ang's words were like ice water, which directly drenched Qin Hongyan from head to toe.She felt cold, but that kind of cold was a bit illusory, as if she was in a dream.
"How about it, does Miss Qin still want a phone call?" Shen Ang asked.
"No need, I thought about it carefully, walls have ears, there are a lot of villains in this world, I'd better fight after I go back." Qin Hongyan said.
However, what she said didn't bring her the pleasure of fighting back, only the hesitation of nothingness.
Qin Hongyan only felt that her whole heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air, and it couldn't be realized no matter what.
She told herself that Shen Ang was Xi Huan's opponent, so he was probably lying to herself.But he is Shen Ang, how could he deceive himself with such clumsy lies.Is what he said true?
"The group of people who kidnapped you left traces on the watchtower in the cemetery. Everyone thought that Miss Qin had been thrown off the cliff by them. The terrain under the cliff was so steep that it was impossible to go down to check, so even the police I think Ms. Qin is more dangerous than good. It is estimated that Lawyer Xi also thinks that Ms. Qin has passed away, and it is understandable to marry someone else when she is sad." Shen Ang continued to describe to Qin Hongyan what happened during her departure. .
"Even if others don't know if I'm still alive, Manager Shen must know, so why are you hiding this matter and not telling him?" Qin Hongyan asked.
Shen Ang answered irrelevantly: "The whereabouts of those people who kidnapped you are very secretive and mysterious. If it wasn't for tampering with your shoes before the prime of life, I guess it would be impossible for me to find your whereabouts even if I used all my connections."
Qin Hongyan persevered: "Manager Shen hasn't answered my question yet."
Shen Ang's words were deep: "Miss Qin, some things hurt me in the end. Besides, you may not believe what I say, why should I make such a fuss?"
Shen Ang's words were vague and reserved, which made Qin Hongyan even more panicked.
She suddenly felt that the air in the car was suffocating, so she rolled down the window, and the dry wind hit her face, quickly blowing away all the moisture in her skin.Qin Hongyan needs this gust of wind, she wants to become a dry core, no longer thinking, just want to curl up in the soil and take root forever.
At the same time, she also knew that from the beginning to the end, Shen Shengnian's concerned eyes were all around her.
Shen Ang worked meticulously and orderly. Knowing that the two were tired, he bought the first-class cabin of the plane for them to rest.During the entire flight journey, Qin Hongyan also closed her eyes tightly, shrinking her body into a ball.Shen Shengnian put a blanket on her, brought her hot water, she obeyed him, let him, let him.
Obedient as a thoughtless wax figure.
Qin Hongyan was blindly indulging in her own world. When she realized it, she realized that she had already got off the plane and drove to Xi Huan's house.
She looked at Shen Ang blankly, Shen Ang cleared his throat, and explained: "I think you and him need to talk, so I sent you here on my own initiative."
Qin Hongyan nodded, thanked her, and got out of the car.
When she left, Shen Shengnian suddenly called her: "Sister Qin."
Qin Hongyan turned her head away, Shen Shengnian's eyes were piercing, more dazzling than the sunshine of the day: "I've always been here."
She seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence, but she didn't seem to understand. She just moved her lips and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.
Xi Huan's new home was in a high-end apartment building in the city. Since she went to America, he also moved out of his original home and moved in here.Qin Hongyan actually didn't agree with his approach, because there were so many memories belonging to them in the original house, and he could just let it go.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the time she really got along with him was only those two years. After that, Qin Hongyan lived by recalling the warmth of those two years.
When she took the elevator to the floor where Xi Huan's house was located, many memories came flooding back.
After adopting Qin Hongyan, the first thing Xi Huan did was to send her to school.Qin Hongyan had always rejected the school before, because of her status as an orphan, and because of her shabby clothes, she always received strange looks and bullying.However, what Xi Huan brought her was a new world.He bought her a brand-name schoolbag and brand-name clothes, and dressed her up like a rose.He also went to the parent meeting, as her brother.Many female classmates gathered around Qin Hongyan, and they all admired enviously: "Qin Hongyan, how happy you are, with such a rich family and such a handsome brother."
That was Qin Hongyan's first time seeing envious eyes cast on her by others.
Later, when she grew up, Qin Hongyan received love letters from boys in school one after another. She didn't want to open them at all, but felt that throwing them away would hurt others, so she secretly took them home and hid them in a cardboard box under the bed.However, when I went home that day, I found that Xi Huan had taken out the paper box and was going through the love letters one by one.
Qin Hongyan blushed immediately, rushed over to snatch the paper box, and explained hesitantly: "This is...they gave it to me...I didn't even agree."
"Of course I can't agree, they are all children, very naive." Xi Huan commented: "Our Jayne, or we don't talk about it, we must find a good one if we want to talk about it."
Qin Hongyan sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at Xi Huan standing in front of her, and asked in puzzlement, "Which one is better?"
"It's good to be like me." Xi Huan said.
Qin Hongyan couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, and couldn't help blushing at the same time.
Xi Huan suddenly hugged Qin Hongyan, she sat him and stood, her face was buried in his waist, his hands were touching her hair, and he said softly, "I mean it."
Recalling this, Qin Hongyan also stood in front of Xi Huan's house.After ringing the doorbell, Xi Huan came to open the door.When he saw Qin Hongyan in front of him clearly, he was first stunned, even his breathing stopped.After that, he suddenly reached out and dragged her into his arms.His arms were made of iron, and he rubbed her into his arms frantically.It was as if he wanted to crush Qin Hongyan into pieces and put all her flesh and blood into his body.
"Is it a dream?" His voice has never been so trembling: "Am I dreaming again?"
"No, it's true, I'm not dead, I'm back." Qin Hongyan said slowly.
Qin Hongyan wanted to push Xi Huan away to speak, but Xi Huan refused to let her go, but hugged her tightly, as if afraid of her disappearing again.
He murmured, half explaining to Qin Hongyan, half talking to himself: "I looked for you everywhere, put everything down to look for you, but I couldn't find you...They all said that something happened to you, I don't believe it... But you have never heard from me, all my hopes have been dashed, and my heart is completely dead..."
Qin Hongyan calmly interrupted his whisper: "I heard that you are preparing for the wedding with Fu Yu, are you?"
Xi Huan's hand relaxed for a moment, but soon, he hugged her tightly again, even tighter than before, so tight that she couldn't breathe well: "The reason I approach Fu Yu is to become a member of the Fu family. , so as to take revenge on them, this is my mission, and it is also the whole meaning of life except you... I thought you were dead, and all thoughts were lost. At that time, the only thing that allowed me to live was to take revenge on the Fu family, so... I Proposed to Fu Yu."
Qin Hongyan put her arms around Xi Huan's back, and stroked the ground, she said: "But I'm back, you will cancel the wedding with her, right?"
Her answer was silence.
Qin Hongyan still maintained that posture, and patted persistently: "You will cancel, right? You promised me that you will not marry her."
Qin Hongyan thought his silence would last forever, but Xi Huan's words came sooner than she expected: "Jayne, the wedding has been booked and cannot be canceled... Please wait for me."
"How else should I wait for you?" Qin Hongyan was smiling, but her eyes were lost: "You want me to be your lover, don't you? You want me to watch you get married and have children, and you will always hide in the shady Corner, will you always be a reviled mistress?"
Xi Huan's lips moved close to Qin Hongyan's ear, and his voice was full of suppressed pain: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really love you...I won't keep you waiting, I will get what I want soon. Yes, really quickly."
Qin Hongyan smiled brighter, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes: "Does every man say this to his lover? I can't marry you, but you are the one I really love? It's just that I don't understand, if You really love me so much, why isn't the person you marry me?"
It's not that Qin Hongyan doesn't understand, it's just that she doesn't want to understand.
Just like what Shen Ang said, some things ultimately hurt him.
"If I give up now, then my years of hard work will be in vain. So Jayne, please wait for me, just one year, I promise you, just one year. At that time I completed my revenge, we We will be together forever." Xi Huan's voice seemed to be bewitching, and it blew into Qin Hongyan's chest, making her heart bloom like an illusory lotus flower: "At that time, we will travel around the world. At that time , I will always be by your side until you get tired and never leave. Jayne, as long as one year, we can be together forever, never separate, just wait for me for one year!"
This is a very beautiful picture scroll, and it is also the picture scroll that Qin Hongyan dreamed of.Xi Huan is Xi Huan, he understands her, he understands her dream.
but.
Qin Hongyan thought with a wry smile, but since he understood, why did she always give her an illusory future instead of the exact present.
"I've...waited for you for many years, and I'm tired." Qin Hongyan took out all the courage left in her body, and even in her life, and asked Xi Huan, "Will you go with me? Don't marry Fu Yu, give up your revenge, and come with me."
She gave him one last chance, but he did nothing but hold her tight.
Qin Hongyan suddenly felt that her body was very light. She threw all her emotions on this man, but in the end she had nothing.
She is destined to be a dandelion, floating in the wind, with no refuge.
Xi Huan's five fingers seemed to be embedded in Qin Hongyan's skin, and the pain spread from Qin Hongyan's shoulder in all directions.
She looked up, and the light above her head was blurred by tears into scattered halos: "It seems that you have already made a choice. It doesn't matter. As long as you need it, I will continue to stay in the company in the future, and I will help you complete it." Your revenge."
"Just from now on," Qin Hongyan tried her best to suppress the soreness gushing out of her body, and said slowly, "There should be no more love between us."
When she uttered the last word, Xi Huan trembled all over, and the force of that moment almost broke Qin Hongyan's bones.
But Qin Hongyan doesn't care, her heart is already cracked, so what are the bones?
"You and revenge, I will not give up on either." Xi Huan said, his voice was very complicated, so complicated that people could not discern the emotions inside.
"But you have already given up." Qin Hongyan felt that the soreness was about to break through her throat: "From the beginning, you gave up on me and chose revenge, didn't you?"
The room was filled with Qin Hongyan's quiet voice, echoing in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Did I come back a little earlier? Those people should continue to tie me up until you and Fu Yu finish their wedding and honeymoon, and then find an excuse to let me go. When I come back, you have already done it for revenge." And get married. It's a trick of fate, no wonder you, I can't help it, so I can only stay and be your mistress."
"If that's the case, no one can blame it. No, you can also blame it, the kidnappers who appeared out of thin air. But what about those kidnappers? Where did they go? I think no one knows this question better than you."
"Those kidnappers who were hired by you to pretend to be Kong Li's opponents will be silenced by you later. They were hired by you to kidnap me. No one in the world will know this secret."
"But the world is unpredictable, but I escaped at the most critical moment... Really, I shouldn't."
"At that time you said that you would help Qiao Qiao escape from Kongli, because you didn't want me to be unhappy. I heard it at that time, and I was so happy, because I have such a place in your heart that it is enough for you to betray Kongli. But the fact However, this game of chess has been laid since then."
"A lot of people told me that you were cruel and told me to be careful. I never cared, and told them that you might be cruel to others, but you wouldn't do it to me. Now that I think about it, I'm ridiculously confident."
"Do you know how painful and difficult these days when I was kidnapped? I live in fear every day, afraid that the kidnapper will mistreat me, fear that the kidnapper will kill me, and fear that I will stay there for the rest of my life. I couldn't sleep at night, my hair fell down in a lot, and I was so thin that I could touch my ribs. I was looking forward to your rescue every day, but I never imagined that it was you who locked me there."
Qin Hongyan's voice was so calm that even she felt strange, the more sad she was, the less she would cry.
"I know that you really want revenge, and I know that I should support you. But I can't watch my man share the bed with other women and talk to other women with my own eyes."
"Look at me, I love you so much, but because I can't give you what you want, I decided to let go."
"You should also learn from me, Xi Huan, you can't give me what I want, so... let it go."
