the seventh bride

Chapter 49 His Past
Bai Muqing suddenly felt a little guilty, this matter was indeed caused by her.

Nangong Chen has never had such a thing happen to so many wives before, and she has only been married for more than a month and has pushed her to the forefront. No wonder the old lady is so angry that she will serve her family law. Nangong Chenhui was so angry that he didn't even tell her about such an important matter as the banquet.

Nangong Chen didn't tell her about the banquet, does that mean she doesn't need to attend?She is the young wife of the Nangong family, wouldn't it arouse suspicion if she didn't attend?
But since Nangong Chen doesn't care about it herself, she doesn't need to care about it anymore, it's not bad to lie in the room and try to be quiet.

"Cousin sister-in-law, don't you and cousin get along well?" Pu Lianyao looked at her and asked, "Why do I feel that you two rarely get together, and you don't even talk much?"

Bai Muqing sighed helplessly, and said: "It's not that you don't know him, it's as cold as ice, and it's hard for anyone to get close to him."

"By the way." Bai Muqing suddenly remembered something, stared at Pu Lianyao and asked, "Did his former wives get along well with him? And...how did they all die? It can't really be..."

She was not ashamed to ask further, and she was also ashamed to mention the word 'ke wife' in front of Pu Lianyao.

Pu Lianyao looked indifferent, and shook her head with a slight smile: "Shen Ke and I started dating two years ago, and we were able to enter Nangong's house only last year, so we don't know much about the past."

"Oh..." Bai Muqing looked a little disappointed.

After pondering for a while, Pu Lianyao spoke again: "But I heard from Shen Ke that my cousin once liked a girl and decided to marry her, but after hearing the rumors about the Nangong family, the girl abandoned her." He left and flew away. Cousin was hit hard by this, and if he began to accept grandma's arrangement to marry strange women again and again, speaking of it, cousin is quite pitiful."

Bai Muqing was slightly surprised, it was the first time she knew Nangong Chen from someone else.

"That girl... isn't she very beautiful?" She asked curiously. A girl like Nangong Chen who can be liked by Bing Cuang should have a fairy-like appearance, right?

Pu Nianyao shook her head: "No one has seen her, but I heard that she saved my cousin's life when he was a child, so my cousin has a particularly deep affection for her."

It turned out to be a lifesaver, no wonder he was able to capture the love of this iceberg man in one fell swoop!
It's just that I didn't expect that someone as good as Nangong Chen would be abandoned sometimes. A man with strong self-esteem like him would probably find it difficult to accept such a blow.

Coming out of Pu Lianyao's room, when Bai Muqing passed by the door of Nangong Chen's bedroom, she stopped unconsciously, hesitated for a while, and then raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Come in." Qingyue's voice entered her ears through the door.

She pushed open the door, took a few steps inside, and finally saw Nan Gongchen's figure.At this time, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window smoking a cigarette, and the ashtray beside him was already full of cigarette butts.

She never knew that he still smoked, let alone that he looked so elegant and charming when he smoked.

Breakfast has only been an hour so far, but there are so many cigarette butts in the ashtray, how much does he want to hold this dinner party?

He turned around, not surprised by her appearance, nor asked her why she came in, but looked at her and asked in a sad tone: "Is every woman like you, when you hear the man you like?" Get married, will you do everything you can to destroy it?"

What's the meaning?Bai Muqing was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained: "No, didn't I tell you that I had given up on Lin Annan a long time ago. I broke up with them not to marry him, but..."

"Forget it." Nangong Chen interrupted her, his tone returned to his indifference: "What can you do for me?"

Isn't this man's mind jumping too fast?Bai Muqing was speechless.

Did he mean that tonight's banquet will attract the attention of the world?Including the girl who abandoned him?He was expecting her to come back and ruin his marriage?

Bai Muqing shook her head, what was she thinking?After so many years, how could he still remember a woman who abandoned him?
"That..." She said to his back with some guilt: "Actually, I wanted to come in and apologize to you. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I'm sorry."

Nangong Chen sneered: "In this world, the word 'sorry' is the most meaningless thing."

Bai Muqing was silenced by his words, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Anything else?" Someone asked.

"No, not anymore." Sensing his impatience, Bai Muqing turned around and walked towards the bedroom door.

*****
The dinner party was held at Nangong's family mansion, until one second before the banquet started, Bai Muqing still hadn't heard a single word from Nangong Chen.

Hiding alone in the bedroom, she didn't even know whether she should attend the dinner party, because no one told her from the beginning to the end.

The garden is already brightly lit and full of guests.

After finally waiting for a maid to bring her a dress, she happily took the box and opened it to see that it was a snow-white one-shoulder dress.The dress has a ruffled collar design, with several three-dimensional white lotuses clustered around the waist. The style is not very special, but it is elegant, elegant and lovely.

With just one glance, she fell in love with it.

The servant asked her to change into the dress and go downstairs to meet the guests. Bai Muqing didn't dare to neglect her. After changing into the dress, she turned around in front of the mirror and looked at the beauty. It suits her.

Of course, now is not the time to worry about this, she tidied up her dress and went downstairs satisfied.

Downstairs, the old lady and Nan Gongchen were greeting guests in the room.

Seeing her coming down, the old lady reproachfully said to her, "Why did you come down so late?"

Bai Muqing was speechless, obviously they didn't inform her to go downstairs.

She lowered her head, and when she raised her eyes, she found that Nan Gongchen was looking at herself, no, she should be looking at the dress on her body.Although the gaze was startled, it was not brilliant.

What's the meaning?Doesn't this dress look good on her?Is it inappropriate?But even if it doesn't look good, it was arranged by the Nangong family, so it has nothing to do with her.

Nangong Chen clasped her wrist with his hand, dragged her to one side, glanced at her dress and asked, "Why don't you wear the purple one?"

"Ah?" Bai Muqing was puzzled, what about the purple set?
"I asked why you didn't wear the purple suit?"

And purple?Obviously it's gone, did she not see it clearly?
Anyway, she already wore it if she didn't wear it, and now she could only reply casually: "Because I think this suit suits me better."

"Go back and change it immediately!" Nan Gongchen ordered coldly.

"why?"

"immediately!"

Seeing that his face turned cold again, Bai Muqing didn't dare to ask any more questions and said 'Oh', then turned around and was about to go upstairs.

"Chen, Ying'an, come here." The old lady waved to the two of them.

Bai Muqing looked at the furious Nangong Chen, and then at the old lady who was looking at her, waiting to introduce guests to her, so she had no choice but to walk towards the old lady.

"This is President Liu of the Liu family." The old lady introduced to the two, and then introduced Nan Gongchen and Bai Muqing to President Liu.

After the guests came one after another, Bai Muqing was too busy to go upstairs to change clothes, so she had to give up.
