the seventh bride

Chapter 110
At the breakfast table, Pu Lianyao looked at the vacant seat belonging to Bai Muqing and asked curiously: "Why didn't you see my cousin come down for breakfast?"

"Didn't I tell you? My cousin went back to her mother's house to raise a baby." Shen Ke said.

"No." Pu Lianyao said with a smile, "It seems that I haven't been here for too many days."

The old lady put down her cup, raised her eyes to stare at Nangong Chen and said, "It's been so many days, why haven't you brought her back?"

"Grandma, she feels more comfortable living in her mother's house, so let her go." Nangong Chen replied casually.

"What do you mean, she is the young lady of our Nangong family now, and she is pregnant, how can she stay in her mother's house all the time?" The old lady ordered with a serious face: "In order to prevent others from gossiping, it is better to bring her back as soon as possible." .”

"Grandma..." Nangong Chen moved his lips, but in the end he didn't speak.

Sensing Nangong Chen's hesitation, Shen Ke on the side grabbed a piece of bread and stood up from the chair tactfully: "Let's go, go out early to avoid traffic jams."

Pu Lianyao also tactfully stood up and said goodbye to the old lady and Nan Gongchen.

Shen Xin lived in school these days and didn't come back. At this moment, only the old lady and Nangong Chen were left on the dining table. The old lady put down her chopsticks and looked at Nangong Chen and said, "Chen, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with Ying'an?"

"It's not a quarrel." Nangong Chen smiled helplessly, and looked up at the old lady: "Isn't it always been like this between me and her, when we are in a good mood, we can get along better, and when we are in a bad mood, we can get along better. Strangers."

After listening to his words, the old lady shook her head and sighed slightly: "Oh, this is the result of a loveless marriage, I can't blame you."

"So, it's normal for her to go."

"What do you mean? She doesn't plan to come back after she leaves?" The old lady's eyes froze suddenly, if that was the case, she would not agree.

The ring is still in her hand, and she is still pregnant with the Nangong family's flesh and blood. Even if it is a sick baby, it belongs to the Nangong family. It is impossible to allow her to take the child away.

"Since grandma decides to separate us, it's better to split up early than tonight. Take this opportunity to forget what should be forgotten and let the past go."

"Chen, are you confused? Even if you want to divide, you can't divide like this. What if she runs away with the Nangong family's ring and child? You should put her..."

"Grandma." Nangong Chen interrupted her: "Don't worry, she can't escape my palm, the child and the ring will come back sooner or later."

The old lady stared at him without saying a word, and it took a long while before she said: "You obviously like her, right?"

If not, why did he stop her from dealing with that woman?In the past, so many people were handled by her alone, and she would personally arrange them far away, so that they would never set foot in C City, so that they would not have any chance to reveal the secrets of the Nangong family.

In fact, she could use the same method to settle Bai Muqing, but Nangong Chen's current attitude is obviously biased towards Bai Muqing. If she didn't like Bai Muqing, how could she have such an idea?

"She is indeed different from other girls, and I do like her so much, so I need time to deal with my feelings. I made an agreement with her that if I still want her after the child is born, I will take their mother and child Take it back, if you don't want it, then...it's over between me and her."

Nangong Chen paused, his face darkened slightly, and then said: "So grandma... I want to ask you to promise me one thing. If I don't want her anymore, please let her go free. If I want her, please let me go." You accept her with me and let her come back to me."

"No..." The old lady stood up excitedly from her chair, glanced at him and said angrily, "Nangong Chen, you are tricking me into being too old and confused, right? Why did we agree at the beginning? I agree." Keep the child in her womb, but you must marry the woman you are destined for after the child is born."

"She is the first woman in my life other than Zhu Zhu who has feelings. She is also the first woman who is not afraid of me, does not dislike me, and is willing to give everything for me. She is responsible and courageous, and she has not fallen in love with me yet. Well, she is willing to pay for me and sacrifice for me. Because of my illness, she was injured again and again. In order to persuade me to take the medicine, she drank the medicine first, and then secretly ran to the toilet to induce vomiting. Just such a woman, I don’t need to love her or not She, but I don't want to hurt her, this is the basic principle of life, isn't it?"

The old lady was dumb and stopped talking.

Nangong Chen also calmed down, lowering his eyes.

It's not that he didn't know many things, but he just pretended not to know. When Bai Muqing vomited the medicine back then, he thought she was afraid of getting hurt, but later he found out that it was because she was pregnant and couldn't take medicine casually.

His heart was originally made of iron and stone, without any particularly attractive qualities, how could he be shaken by her?

"Then what do you mean, don't you plan to marry your destined lover?" After a long while, the old lady asked leisurely: "Do you know that I have been looking for you? I believe I can always find it."

"There's no need to look for it." Nangong Chen said sadly: "It's useless if you find it."

"What do you mean?" The old lady's heart tightened, and she stared at him nervously: "Is she married? Or... dead?"

"She... died."

"How is it possible?" the old lady whispered.

"Grandma, the world is impermanent, nothing is impossible."

He didn't intend to deceive the old lady on purpose, if it was another woman, maybe he would consider marrying her after breaking up with Bai Muqing, but this girl was none other than Zhu Zhu he had been looking for.

Zhu Zhu was afraid of him and didn't want to marry her, so even if he broke up with Bai Muqing completely, he would be as worthless as she was.Because he won't force her to marry him, nor can he bear to force her.

"How did this happen..." The old lady murmured sadly, then raised her head and stared at Nangong Chen: "Nangong Chen, you lied to me, right? You lied to me that she died because you didn't want to marry her, right? "

Nangong Chen shook his head: "If I divorce Miss Bai by then, it doesn't matter who I marry. Is it necessary to lie to you old man?"

"Who knows you." The old lady lowered her head sadly.

Nangong Chen continued: "If grandma doesn't believe it, then just keep looking, I won't stop you." He stood up from the dining chair and said, "Grandma, let's do this first, I'm going to the company."

Taking advantage of the children's nap time, Bai Muqing walked out of the house and went to the yard to organize the tools for the afternoon painting class.

After tidying up the last table, when I got up to go back to the house, I almost ran into someone when I turned around.She was taken aback, and then glared at the man angrily and said, "What are you doing here?"

Lin Annan looked around and smiled slightly: "So the orphanage has moved here."

"Tell me, what do you want to do here?" The coldness on Bai Muqing's lips dropped a little: "If you are here to provoke me and Nangong Chen, then there is no need to do anything extra, because I have already left Nangong's house as you wished. gone."

"Mu Qing, would you believe me if I said that I didn't have any purpose in coming this time?"

"I don't believe it." Bai Muqing continued to remind and warn: "I hope you still remember what I said, even if I break up with Nangong Chen, I will never come back to you, so please don't waste it on me in the future Thoughts."

She was eager to draw a clear line with him, but he still said with emotion: "I remember that we often went to the orphanage to play with the children, and then took them to eat. Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and I haven't talked to the children for a long time." Played."

Bai Muqing shook her head speechlessly, she was really talking to each other, this man must have done it on purpose!
Bai Muqing turned around and was about to enter the house, Lin Annan asked her back: "By the way, Xiao Nian, he should be able to write a lot, right?"

Bai Muqing's body froze.

Xiao Nian... She has been afraid to think about him for a long time, because every time she thinks about it, her heart hurts.

"What's wrong? What did I say wrong?" Lin Annan followed up and asked cautiously.

Bai Muqing closed her eyes and took a light breath. When she opened her eyes, she said expressionlessly, "Xiao Nian is no longer here."

"what happened?"

"Xiao Nian was originally in poor health."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Annan blamed.

"Tell you what to do? Can you save his life?"

"At least I can help him find a good doctor." Lin Annan grabbed Bai Muqing's arm: "Mu Qing, have you forgotten? We promised Xiao Nian back then that we would cure him of his illness and let him live a healthy and happy life." of."

His palm was pressed up, Bai Muqing immediately flinched as if being pricked by a needle, she lowered her eyes to stare at his palm.

"I'm sorry." Lin Annan let go of her suddenly. He looked guilty on the surface, but his heart was full of displeasure.What does she mean now, to reject him like a plague god?Can't even shake her hand?

He didn't express the dissatisfaction in his heart, but bowed his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mu Qing, I promised to protect the children with you back then, but I made a mistake."

Bai Muqing smoothed the clothes on his arms that were wrinkled by him, looked at him mockingly, "Why should you blame yourself, Young Master Lin? During that time, you were busy cheating on Bai Ying'an and tricking me into Nangong's house with her. How can you have time to care about the lives of the children?"

"I……."

"Master Lin." Bai Muqing interrupted him: "You don't have to pretend any more, you don't like the children here at all, and you seem extremely impatient every time you come here, I know that. But I don't blame you, after all, they are not Your own, you don’t have to be nice to them. I just want to remind you, don’t pretend to be ashamed here, and don’t try to find excuses to integrate into this big family, because you are not suitable. "

As for men, especially rich men, most of them don't like to tease children, and Bai Muqing is innocent of this.Nan Gongchen even always called them wild children, and every time she heard them mentioned, she felt disgusted.

She couldn't even imagine what it would be like for a proud and serious man like Nan Gongchen to play with children.

Thinking of this scene, a smile suddenly appeared on Bai Muqing's lips.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Annan asked with a frown.

Bai Muqing just came back to her senses after being asked such a question, she made a serious expression on her face and said: "It's nothing, please leave."

After she finished speaking, she secretly bit her lower lip, secretly blaming herself for why she thought of that bad man Nangong Chen at this moment?It really shouldn't be!
"Why do you have to be so ruthless? Do you have to be an enemy if you break up?" Lin Annan took a light breath helplessly: "Can we... still be friends?"

Bai Muqing smiled bitterly and stared at him: "Do you still remember the first time we met? You came to me and asked, can we be friends? At that time, I nodded and said yes without even thinking about it. Then we became friends , and then turned from friends to lovers. Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and today, three years later, you asked me carefully like when you first met me, can you still be friends? The same sentence, more in front The word 'return' has two completely different meanings."

"Master Lin, it is precisely because I became friends with you back then that my life has experienced many setbacks and hardships, so... Please allow me to refuse your request this time, sorry." Bai Muqing nodded at him after finishing speaking, Turn around and walk into the house.

On the way to the client's company, Assistant Yan turned his head to look at Nangong Chen, and found that he was resting with his eyes closed.She knew he must not have fallen asleep, because he had just gotten into the car not long ago.

She thought for a while, and said, "Young Master Chen, when I passed the Jinhua community today, I saw Lin Annan's car parked by the side of the road."

Nangong Chen's eyebrows twitched, and his heart skipped a beat, but then he asked, "So what?"

"Zhao Feiyang's orphanage is in the Jinhua community, and the young lady lives in the orphanage recently, what do you think?" Assistant Yan turned around and stared at him: "I think that within four months, the young lady may become Lin Annan's."

Nangong Chen had to admit that after hearing what Assistant Yan said, he felt jealous, but he didn't show this jealousy, but said flatly: "Since I don't want her anymore, it doesn't matter who she becomes." unimportant."

When he promised her to leave, he had already thought about this result.But since he has already agreed, there is naturally no reason to regret it.

Besides, he thought that if Bai Muqing really liked Lin Annan, he wouldn't be able to stop her at all.

"Young Master Chen, do you want to see Lin Annan deliberately bringing his young husband to stand proudly in front of you one day in the future?" Assistant Yan smiled slightly: "I think that kind of feeling must be uncomfortable."

Nangong Chen finally opened his eyes and looked at Assistant Yan, saying, "When I don't care about this woman, what he does is meaningless to me."

"What if you care?"

"Assistant Yan!" Nangong Chen suddenly said coldly: "I understand what you mean, but I have my own thoughts. Don't pay attention to her life in the future, let alone mention her in front of me."

He spoke in a serious and unhappy manner, with no room for turning around at all, it seemed that he had made up his mind.

Assistant Yan understood his personality and offended him, even her personal assistant couldn't bear to walk around.

She shut her mouth tactfully, and thought to herself, forget it, he, the client, is not in a hurry, and it is useless for her, a bystander, to be in a hurry.

Although Nangong Chen's ears were quiet, his heart began to become restless.

In fact, he still wanted to know what Lin Annan was doing there to find Bai Muqing. Of course, he didn't need to guess to know that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and capture Bai Muqing's Fang Xin.

Just don't know what she will do?Will you be moved by his persistent pursuit?Could it be as Assistant Yan said, one day the two of them would appear in front of him hand in hand, and Lin Annan would give him a vengeful smile.Just like what he showed to Lin Annan at the airport that day.

Nangong Chen raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows with two fingertips, secretly reminding himself that she is just a woman that he intends not to want, and he should not be affected by her.

*****
People are so contradictory. They have clearly made a firm determination in their hearts, but their actions always go against their will uncontrollably.

Just like this, Nangong Chen threatened Assistant Yan not to pay attention to Bai Muqing's movements in the morning with an unhappy face, but he accidentally turned the steering wheel and went around to the gate of Jinhua Community.

I haven't seen her for many days, she doesn't seem to have changed much on the surface, but the faint worry between her brows is rarely seen before.

She walked out of the community alone and walked on the street alone.

With long and smooth hair, a thin black windbreaker, and slender legs, she can't be seen as a pregnant woman from behind, but looks like a black swan out of the crowd, alone.

Is this the life she wants?Is this freedom?A sneer unconsciously appeared on the corner of his lips, he stepped a little harder, stepped up the accelerator and drove past her.

Bai Muqing, who was walking in front, was only focused on walking, she didn't notice the black sedan following far behind her at all, and she didn't realize that the car had already driven away from her.

The sky has gradually darkened, because this is a newly developed area, there are still very few residents in the new building, and the road is deserted.It's just that she has walked a lot on this road recently, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

When passing through a dark section of the road, she suddenly felt that someone beside her was watching her, and when she turned her head to look, she found a dirty beggar man sitting in the grass beside the road.

Bai Muqing was flustered by his straight eyes, and involuntarily accelerated her pace.

At this moment, the beggar suddenly rushed out from the side of the road and hugged her.

Bai Muqing had never encountered such a thing in her life, she was frightened for a moment, she instinctively began to struggle and scream.

The sour smell from the beggar's body hit her nostrils, and a nauseating feeling emerged, and she screamed angrily: "Let go of me! You pervert, let go..."

Not only did the beggar man not let go, he even used one free hand to touch her chest. This is obviously a perverted lunatic who hasn't touched a woman for a long time.After Bai Muqing sensed his intentions, Hou Jia became anxious, struggling with her little hands while desperately pushing his dirty hands covering her chest.

After finally breaking free from him, Bai Muqing panicked, turned around and ran towards the main road.But before she could run a few steps, the beggar man caught up again.

"Help... help...!" Bai Muqing was so anxious that she started to ask for help from the vehicles passing by on the road, but no one was willing to stop to help her.

Just when she was dragged back by the beggar man's wrist again, a scream suddenly sounded in her ear, and after her wrist was slapped hard, it was released instead.

Bai Muqing was stunned, and when she lowered her head, she realized that the beggar had been knocked to the ground for some reason, with his head bleeding!
She took two steps back in a daze, staring at the beggar man bleeding profusely under the wheel, her body trembling like sifting sugar.

She shook her head and backed away a little bit, then screamed in collapse, turned around and bumped into someone's body as she wanted to escape.

During the fall, she could feel that what she bumped into was a man, another man!

"Let go! Let me go...!" Tears finally welled up in her eyes, she struggled like crazy, and screamed.

"It's me, don't be afraid, I'm your husband..." Nangong Chen was pushed hard twice by her, only to feel pain in his chest, but he didn't let go, but hugged her tightly in his arms.

husband…….

Bai Muqing stopped struggling in an instant, raised her small face, and saw Nangong Chen's handsome face close at hand through the mist of tears.

It's really him, he's really her husband Nangong Chen, not these shameless beggars!
She hugged him with a wow, holding him tightly, more tears welled up.

She was really scared to death just now, she thought she was going to be defiled by a stinky beggar this time.Meeting Nangong Chen at the most desperate and helpless moment, how could she not be moved to tears?
"Okay, it's all right." Nan Gongchen hugged her with one hand, and patted her back with the other to comfort her.

He glanced down at the motionless beggar beside the wheel, freed one hand to take out his cell phone from his pocket and made several calls.

Leaning in Nangong Chen's arms, Bai Muqing felt extremely at ease, and her mood gradually calmed down.

After calming down, she retreated from Nangong Chen's arms a little bit, turned to look at the ground, when she saw the beggar lying in a pool of blood.The hands that had finally stabilized were tightened again, and she looked down at him, covering her mouth with one hand and crying softly.

is he deadIs it just dead?He was knocked down by Nangong Chen's car!
Soon, ambulances, traffic police, and Assistant Yan rushed over one after another.

The seriously injured beggar was carried into an ambulance and left.

Nangong Chen and Bai Muqing were taken to the police station to cooperate with the investigation after simple questioning, and Assistant Yan was left to deal with the scene.

Sitting on the rest chair in the police station, Bai Muqing's body shook like sifting sugar, even more trembling than when she was molested by a beggar just now.

Seeing her trembling like this, Nangong Chen stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, but his tone lost the tenderness just now, and said: "Aren't you quite capable, do you want to live by yourself? Why are you so afraid of death?"

Bai Muqing swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and said in a trembling voice: "If he dies, will you be locked up as a murderer?"

Nangong Chen was speechless, she was so frightened that she was dripping with cold sweat, trembling all over because she was worried about this?
