She is crazy about beauties and is looking for a substitute again

I don't know if Yun Ting really wanted to eat fish, so he went fishing after lunch. Lin Yihan sat with him for a while, feeling tired and tired, so he just went for a walk by himself.

It's a pity that Yunting fished all afternoon and didn't catch anything.

Ji Chen was afraid that he would not eat in anger, so he had to ask the kitchen to cook two more fish for him in the evening.

Mu Wanning didn't go out to eat at night and asked the servant to deliver the food to the room.

In a castle with so many years of history, the collection of books is naturally considerable. Mu Wanning found a few medical-related books and stayed in the room to read them.

Until midnight, there were sudden sounds from the opposite room.

Mu Wanning was not an indifferent girl, so she naturally knew what the sound meant.

She frowned and turned a page of the book, but the voice on the other side became louder and louder, making it impossible for her to read another word.

When Ji Chen carried the wine and cup to the terrace, he saw Mu Wan Ning already leaning on the deck chair on the terrace.

He paused slightly, walked over, sat down on another lounge chair, put the wine and cup on the table, poured the wine and said, "It's good to be young. You won't feel tired even after half the night."

Mu Wanning turned to look at him, "Is it possible that your place is in disrepair, so the sound insulation is so poor? Can you hear it even from such a distance?"

"I should be able to afford the maintenance." Ji Chen also turned around and leaned on the recliner, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "When I lived alone, it was quite quiet."

Mu Wanning looked at the stars in the sky. Because of the different latitudes, it was difficult for Jincheng to see so many stars. "I used to drive to Buri Mountain with Yun Shen. You can camp on the top of the mountain and watch the stars."

Ji Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Are you going?"

"What?" Mu Wanning turned to look at him.

"I said, do you want to go now?" Ji Chen asked again.

A flash of joy flashed in Mu Wan Ning's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and her gaze returned to the sky, "Forget it, it's just a matter of touching the scene." She paused, and then said, "I participated in a debate before, The topic was whether there would be pure friendship between men and women. I was the affirmative at the time, and the topic was whether there would be pure friendship."

Ji Chen turned to look at her. It was hard to say whether he had ever had this debate before, but he understood what she meant. "Then you should change the topic of your debate now. After a man and a woman have slept with each other, will there be pure sex?" Friendship?"

Mu Wanning lowered his eyes, "Ji Chen, forget about what happened that night."

Ji Chen's eyes fell on her hand, "Is the injury on your hand healed?"

"Okay." Mu Wanning raised her hand and showed it to him.

"But there is a scar." Ji Chen raised his hand and grabbed her hand. The light on the terrace was dim and the light was not very good. His fingertips gently brushed her palm, "Such a deep scar will probably stay for a lifetime. .”

Yunting stood at the entrance of the terrace, looking at the hands held together by Mu Wanning and Ji Chen, his eyes darkened, and he turned to leave.

Mu Wan Ning took her hand back, "There is always a way to remove the scars on the skin." After a pause, she added, "Anyway, you have said so much before, but in fact you have never mentioned Mu Wan, so why not give it to me? Let me tell you, how did you meet?"

Ji Chen looked into the distance, "We met at the cocktail party." "At the cocktail party?" Mu Wanning was obviously a little surprised by this place. Most of the acquaintances in that kind of occasion had ulterior motives.

"As long as you don't bring your real wife to the reception, you may be introduced to a girl at any time." Ji Chen took a sip of wine, "otherwise, you can go back and ask Yunting to see if anyone has given him a woman."

"I don't believe it, I just didn't expect you to be serious." Mu Wan Ning said.

"Yes." Ji Chen nodded, "I thought there were some things I could control. Even if she had ulterior motives for approaching me, there is nothing I can't give her in Laibei City? Whether it's money or status, the other party Whatever I promised her, I can give her more.”

"But what she wants is not what you can give her." Mu Wanning couldn't help but sigh.

"Until the end, she was waiting with all her heart to bring me down with Chu Mingzhe, and then Chu Mingzhe would divorce her and then marry her." Ji Chen chuckled and reached into his pocket, but he didn't touch the cigarette. So he picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass, and then said, "She and I are different from you and Yun Shen."

He had checked on her and Yun Shen's affairs, and he probably knew what happened.

When a car accident occurs, people's instinct is to avoid themselves.

But Yun Shen gave Mu Wan Ning the chance to live. In his heart, the person he subconsciously protected was not himself, but her.

So they are indeed different.

As long as Mu Wan had a little bit of him in her heart, she wouldn't end up like this.

"Since you know the difference, when are you going to let yourself go?" Mu Wanning looked at him, "There are so many people in this world, and you can always find the right one."

"But I still feel regretful." Ji Chen poured himself another glass of wine, "I feel that what I did at that time was not good enough." He paused, looked up at her, and continued, "If it were changed now, the outcome would be It should be different. In those few years, she was more hasty in doing things, pushing herself too hard and not knowing how to proceed step by step, which pushed her to a dead end."

Mu Wan Ning paused and then asked, "Did she commit suicide?"

"Yes and no." Ji Chen frowned, "I locked her up and didn't allow her to contact Chu Mingzhe again. She cut her wrists and threatened me to get out, but I lost control that day. In that state, I It was impossible to let her go, but I didn't have the consciousness to save her. She actually didn't want to die, but when I woke up, she had lost too much blood and was breathless."

"There was no one else here that day. She screamed for help, but no one could hear her. When I locked her up, the doors and windows were reinforced, so she couldn't escape. Later I looked at the surveillance camera in the room..."

He paused after saying this, "She has tried very hard to save herself, but she has failed. In the end, she may have lost all hope and begged me to let Chu Mingzhe go."

"Didn't she realize that something was wrong with you?" Mu Wan Ning asked.

"Haven't you seen it? Do you think she can realize it?" Ji Chen asked.

Mu Wan Ning lowered her eyes. If it were Mu Wan herself, she probably wouldn't have realized what happened that day. She might just think that Ji Chen had no patience with her and was angry because of what happened between her and Chu Mingzhe.

She thought Ji Chen loved her, so he threatened to commit suicide. She knew in her heart that even if Ji Chen didn't let her out, he wouldn't watch her die.

But by that moment, Ji Chen might not have noticed her cutting her wrists, and he would be even more angry because she mentioned Chu Mingzhe.

"If I hadn't lost control that day, she wouldn't have died. She clearly didn't want to die, but I didn't save her. It was no different from killing her with my own hands. I don't know how desperate she must have been at that time." Ji Chen paused as he spoke. He chuckled lightly, "But if she were alive and alive to this day, I'm afraid I wouldn't love her anymore, but she died just when I loved her."
