the seventh bride

Chapter 72

"I heard that Miss Zhu of yours is from Yancheng?" Bai Muqing couldn't help but asked again. After asking, she realized that she was really short of breath. With the current relationship between her and Nangong Chen, they haven't reached the level where they can share their thoughts with each other. Bar?

Originally thought that Nangong Chen would reprimand her angrily, or get up and walk away coldly, but he did not expect him to give a clear and shallow 'hmm' after the silence.

It was rare that he was willing to open his mouth to talk about his personal relationship, Bai Muqing was almost flattered.

"Did you meet here?" She tried to ask.

"Yes."

"Then... the scene where you met must be very romantic."

"It's not romantic at all."

"How is it possible!" Bai Muqing looked suspicious.

How could a man as lofty as he be able to touch his heart without a romantic encounter?
After pondering for a while, Nangong Chen said: "The first time I saw her, it was on a very cold rainy night. I got lost in these alleys and happened to be ill. She saved me. At that time, I bit her wrist until it was bloody, not only did she not be scared away by me, she even took me home secretly and hid me under her bed."

After a pause, he then spit out: "She is the first person who is not afraid of me and never abandons me, even though she was only seven years old at that time."

Seven years old, rainy night, under the bed... why does she feel that this scene is so familiar?Have you ever seen a similar plot in a movie?

Seven years old, so young, didn't even go to elementary school?

"Well... You fell in love with him at only seven years old?" Bai Muqing couldn't help complaining, "Isn't this a bit too precocious?"

Nangong Chen glanced at her lightly: "I found her later, arranged for her family, and brought her to City C."

"Oh, I understand, come back to repay your favor when you grow up, and then fall in love with her at first sight."

Nangong Chen didn't reply to her, obviously acquiescing.

Ever since he left here, he has always had such a belief in his subconscious mind that he doesn't want anyone in this life except her, whether she is a lover in a previous life or a lover by destiny, he doesn't want anything!

Later, when he returned here, he fell in love with her as a matter of course, took her away, and then placed all his affection on her.

until...

"By the way, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did she hide you under the bed?" Bai Muqing suddenly thought of this, and asked curiously.

"Because her family treated her badly, she was afraid they would throw me out," Nan Gongchen said.

Bai Muqing chuckled: "Although this kind of encounter is not very romantic, it is very interesting."

"However, she finally left and disappeared without a trace."

The scene was quiet again.

Bai Muqing looked at the sadness flashing across his face, although she still wanted to ask more when he was willing to talk, but she suddenly couldn't bear it in her heart, so she comforted her with a smile: "Forget it, don't be too sad, Then who is right, who will not encounter one or two scumbags in this life?"

"She's not a scum." Nangong Chen's eyes darkened, staring at her unhappily.

Even if she failed him, he still didn't want others to hurt her.

Subconsciously, Nan Gongchen remembered more about the scene when she hid herself under the bed and took good care of him, rather than her decision to disappear after hearing about his illness.

That's why while he hated her, he couldn't stop loving her and missing her no matter what.

Bai Muqing was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed: "Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult her."

In order not to bring up his sad things, Bai Muqing suddenly stood up from the stone bench, smiled at him and said: "Okay, let's forget about the sad things in the past, let's go, I'll take you to a place."

"Where are you going?" Nangong Chen was not very interested.

"You'll know when you get there." Seeing that he was not moving, Bai Muqing stepped forward to take his arm, pulled him up from the stool, and dragged him towards the gate.

Ten minutes later, the two stood in front of a crowded snack street.

In fact, when she first came here, Bai Muqing wasn't sure if this snack street was still there, but now that she saw that it was still there, and it seemed busier than before, she couldn't be happier.

I remember that when I was a child, the food in this snack street was the most delicious, and now it seems that it should not be bad.

"Have you been here?" Bai Muqing turned around and stared at him eagerly.

It's been a long time since I've had snacks here, I miss it so much.

Looking at the crowded scene in front of him, Nangong Chen frowned habitually: "This is the good place you mentioned?"

"That's right, the small octopus balls inside are delicious, even if you haven't eaten them before." Bai Muqing could guess without even thinking about it, even if he was a high-ranking person, it was impossible for him to come here to eat snacks even if he often came to Yancheng of.

"I'm not interested in snacks." Nan Gongchen said with disgust, then turned and left.

"Don't!" Bai Muqing hurriedly pulled him back: "It's really delicious, I won't lie to you."

"I said I wanted to eat."

It's unseemly for people to see him as the majestic CEO of Nangong Group crowded here with a group of tourists to eat snacks. Moreover, the street snacks look unhygienic.

"It's hard for me to come here. If you don't want to eat, I want to." Bai Muqing took off his sunglasses stuck at his neckline and put them on his face, then took his arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, people here have a lot of food in their hearts." You only have food in your eyes, and no one will notice you."

Before Nangong Chen had time to get out of the way, she had already been forcibly dragged into the crowd by her.With his personality, it's normal for people to walk away, but seeing Bai Muqing's excited expression, he had no choice but to suppress the unhappiness in his heart and walk forward with her.

After a while, Bai Muqing ate mutton skewers with one hand and fried fish balls with the other.

Seeing a seller of scallion pancakes in front of her, she turned around and handed the skewered fish balls to Nangong Chen: "Help me get it."

"It's so dirty, you take it yourself." Nangong Chen was upset.

"Just one click." Bai Muqing forced the string into his hand.

"I can't take it anymore, do you still want to buy it?" Nangong Chen stared at her back as she walked forward, thinking that this woman is too edible, right?

Bai Muqing bought two scallion pancakes and handed one of them to him: "The scallion pancakes here are also very famous, try it."

"I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."

"Master..." Bai Muqing rolled her eyes speechlessly, and then pointed to a man in front of him carrying a new LV bag: "Look at this gentleman, and he...the one with the Armani jacket, they all Wealthy people don’t hold it like you do. Since you’re here, you should do as the Romans do, try the folk customs here, and you’ll be worthwhile, otherwise, what are you doing all the way here?”

"I'm here to work."

"..."

Bai Muqing cleared her throat, and changed her method: "Okay, then let me ask you, are you hungry now?"

It's already six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's meal time, so how can you not be hungry.

"Eat it when you're hungry." Bai Muqing handed the scallion pancake to his mouth: "Be generous, don't be like a little girl who is putting on airs."

She has talked to such a dead end, if Nangong Chen doesn't eat anymore, won't she become a posturing little girl?He glanced at her dissatisfied, and finally opened his mouth to take a bite of the scallion pancake.

Seeing that he finally ate, Bai Muqing smiled happily: "Is it delicious?"

"It's okay." Nangong Chen didn't want to lie.

Many things in the snack street are not inferior to star hotels, of course he knows, but he is not used to eating in this kind of place.

He was already hungry, but after Bai Muqing's words, he was out of control after the first bite. Under Bai Muqing's leadership, he almost tasted all the special snacks in the snack street.

After shopping around the snack street, Bai Muqing dragged Nangong Chen to another boutique street, and dragged him to listen to real people singing in a specialty bar.

In the bar, the waiter recommended a famous cocktail in the store, but Bai Muqing shook her head and refused.

Just now, she couldn't help but ate a lot of fried snacks. She already felt a little regretful and blamed herself, how could she dare to drink.Fortunately, her physical fitness is good, and the child has always been great.

"Give us two glasses of juice, thank you," she said to the waiter.

Soon, the waiter brought a glass of juice to the two of them.

Nangong Chen glanced at the fruit juice on the table, looked at her and said, "Come to the bar to play but don't drink?"

"I... I'm afraid I'll get drunk, so I want you to carry me back." Bai Muqing chuckled.

"You think too much, at most I'll call and ask someone to carry you back."

"Have no conscience, don't look for me next time you're drunk." Bai Muqing snorted.

Nangong Chen took a sip of the fruit juice disapprovingly, and his eyes fell on the singers on the small stage.

It was a very sexy and charming woman, but her singing voice was mellow and sweet. She was singing a water town song with her heart. Her beautiful singing voice attracted the attention of many men present.

Both of them were a little tired from shopping, drinking fruit juice and listening to such melodious songs was really a pleasure.

A male waiter came over and said to the two with a smile: "Excuse me, both of you, today is the tenth anniversary of our store, and the store is holding an event today and tomorrow, which is to collect sweet kisses between couples... .”

"No, thank you." Nan Gongchen refused before he finished speaking.

Bai Muqing asked curiously, "Is there any reward?"

"The store will give you a pair of silver couple rings." The waiter handed the pair of rings in front of the two of them.

It was a pair of rings that didn't look worth much, but the style was very chic. Nan Gongchen didn't notice it. Bai Muqing was a girl after all, and she was very interested in these little things.

The waiter continued: "We will also engrave the two names on the ring to create a pair of couple rings exclusive to the two, and send the ring to the house two days later."

"The shape of the ring looks pretty good, let's just kiss it." Bai Muqing said to Nangong Chen with a smile.

Nangong Chen glanced at her angrily, and pushed the sunglasses on his face: "What kind of ring do I want, I'll ask Assistant Yan to order it for you."

Couldn't this woman figure it out? The bar specially collected kissing photos of these handsome men and beautiful women to hang on the glass wall at the entrance for people to appreciate.

Although there are a lot of bars here, each of which is colorful and colorful, it is difficult for people to notice the faces in the photos, but it is always bad for people to appreciate, and he is not at all interested in this kind of broken ring that is not worth two cents interest.

"That's different." The waiter continued to persuade: "This pair of rings was exchanged by the two of you with an intimate kiss, and the two names are engraved on it, which is very meaningful."

"Yes." Bai Muqing nodded in agreement, and then shook Nan Gongchen's arm: "It's not like we haven't kissed before, so let's just kiss, I like this pair of rings."

Seeing that Nangong Chen still refused to waver, Bai Muqing was upset, she turned her head and said to the male waiter with a hint of anger, "You don't have to kiss your significant other? Find another man for me, um... ...Just him." With a wave of his finger, he pointed to a young handsome guy not far away.

Nangong Chen's face darkened, displeased.

The waiter opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer her for a while, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.I just came up to collect sweet kisses because I saw the beauty of the two handsome men and women in front of me. I didn't expect the men to be so uncooperative.

"This... There is no express rule that it is not allowed, it's just..."

"It's fine." Bai Muqing said, "I think he's so kind-hearted, so he shouldn't even refuse to do this little favor, right? Go help me..."

Bai Muqing's words were still in her mouth, Nan Gongchen had already clasped her arm with one hand and turned her body around, picked up the sun hat she put on the table with the other hand and covered her head, then turned her head from between her teeth Li said two words to the waiter: "Camera."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly realized that he raised the camera hanging on his chest and pointed the lens at the two of them after a few "oh".

Bai Muqing sniggered from the bottom of her heart, knowing that Nangong Chen, who was extremely possessive, couldn't stand other men kissing her wife!

She adjusted the sun hat on her head with her hands, raised her small face slightly, and closed her eyes.

Nangong Chen's lips were covered, and he kissed her lips with a sense of punishment, and deliberately bit her lips with his teeth.

"OK! Beautiful." The waiter said with great satisfaction, and handed the camera screen in front of the two: "Look, the kiss is really good."

The two people in the photo do seem to be kissing passionately and sweetly, and because Nangong Chen is wearing standing sunglasses and Bai Muqing is wearing a sun hat, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell it's the two of them.

"Please leave your address here, we will send it to you together with the photo, thank you both again." After pointing to the guestbook on the table, the waiter thanked the two behind him, and finally satisfied left.

After the waiter left, Bai Muqing looked at Nangong who was still in a bad mood, thinking about the scene when he just bit her, raised her hand to touch her red lips that had just been bitten by him, feeling a little embarrassed.

*****
After returning from the bar, the two went directly back to the hotel to rest.

When Bai Muqing came out of the shower, she found Nangong Chen lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she looked up at the clock on the wall, it was only less than 09:30, thinking that she fell asleep really early.

When she just took a shower, she was still thinking about how to avoid the very likely demands he would make at night.Now that she saw him asleep, she was relieved.

Just feel relieved, but at the same time feel a little lost and sensitive, what is his situation?Could it be that he is not in the mood to touch other women in the territory of his first love?

With a little jealousy, Bai Muqing went to the bed and sat down, poking the back of his hand with her hand.

Nangong Chen didn't fall asleep, but he didn't open his eyes either, he just said lightly: "Don't touch me."

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

"Ah."

"Really uncomfortable?" Bai Muqing instantly became nervous, right?Is he going to get sick again?what to do?Want to call an ambulance?

"What's wrong? Shall I take you to the hospital?" Her tone became anxious.

"Stomach upset."

"Uncomfortable stomach? How could this be?"

The Nangong family finally opened their eyes and stared at her: "Will my stomach feel comfortable after eating so much junk food?"

What's the meaning?Bai Muqing thought for a while, and finally realized that he was blaming her for taking him to eat those snacks, which made him eat badly.

"Pretentious, I eat more than you, why don't you see that I have something to do?" Although Bai Muqing said so, she still stood up from the bed and said, "Okay, I'll buy you a box of digestion tablets to digest and digest."

The two stayed in a villa hotel, and there was no pharmacy nearby. Fortunately, it was not far from the city center. She took a taxi to the nearest pharmacy and bought a box of digestion tablets, and bought some other gastrointestinal medicines back.

When she came back, Nangong Chen had already fallen asleep.

She slowed down unconsciously, and after pouring a glass of warm water, she came up to him softly and called: "Master, are you asleep?"

Originally thinking that it would be fine if he fell asleep, but she just woke up after calling Nan Gongchen lightly.He opened his eyes and glanced at her: "Why did it take so long?"

"There's no pharmacy nearby, so I took a taxi to the city to buy it." Bai Muqing put down the water glass, helped him up from the bed, and put the pills into his palm.

After serving him the medicine and watching him fall asleep again, Bai Muqing gradually became a little sleepy.After noticing his sleeping face, she struggled for a while, then lifted the quilt and lay down beside him.

There are a total of four or five rooms upstairs and downstairs, but it is a bit cold to sleep alone in this weather, so it is more comfortable to sleep on his side.That's right, it was because of the cold, Bai Muqing comforted herself in her heart.

*****
The next day, as soon as Bai Muqing opened her eyes, she saw Nangong Chen supporting the door frame of the bathroom with one hand and his waist with the other, looking like he was dying.

Over the past few days, whenever there was something wrong with Nangong Chen, Bai Muqing would be extremely nervous, worried that he would fall ill.At this moment, seeing the uncomfortable expression on his face, she sat up from the bed, rushed over to hold his arm before even putting on her slippers.

"Young master, are you alright?" Bai Muqing looked at him with concern on her face.

Nangong Chen glanced at her, and shook his head with some embarrassment on his face: "It's okay."

"then you……."

"Weak legs."

"What's wrong with your legs? Why are your legs weak when you're doing well?"

Nangong Chen was speechless, and his face became more and more ugly: "I have diarrhea."

"Ah...?" Bai Muqing was surprised, she had diarrhea until her legs were weak?Seeing his exhausted look, she suddenly burst out laughing with a 'poof'.

If it wasn't for her insisting on pulling herself to eat those street foods, how could she be pulled into this way?She still has a smile on her face?

Nangong Chen, who originally wanted to pinch her to death, became even more embarrassed and annoyed after being laughed at by her. He looked at her and gritted his teeth and said, "Have you laughed enough?"

Bai Muqing hurriedly stopped her laughter, but she couldn't stop the smile marks on her face, she tried her best not to let herself laugh again.Clearing his throat, he said, "I'm sorry, I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Nangong Chen was waiting for her to apologize. Although it didn't help the matter, it could give some psychological comfort.

"I really think it's not the fault of those snacks, it's because you are too delicate." Bai Muqing patted her chest: "Look at me, I've eaten it countless times but nothing happened."

"It's not that I'm delicate, it's that you are too rough and fleshy..." Nan Gongchen gritted his teeth and said, while still speaking, he turned around and went back to the bathroom, and slammed the door shut.

With a 'bang', Bai Muqing was shut outside the door.

"Hey! Do you want to continue?" Bai Muqing asked through the door, then giggled: "It's okay for so many people to eat, but you are the only one who has something to do. Isn't this sister Lin's possession?"

It was the first time I saw Nangong Chen in such a state of embarrassment. Thinking of him who was domineering and serious on weekdays, and looking at him now, he seemed like a traitor.

Although he is very pitiful at this time, and he should not be provoked any more, but the opportunity is rare, and the opportunity to avenge the wronged and the wronged has come.

Bai Muqing simply leaned her back against the door of the bathroom, crossed her arms and chatted with him, "Eldest Young Master, have you ever read a book that said that when you are very afraid of someone When you are alone, just think about how he squats on the toilet, and you won’t feel afraid.”

"This trick is very effective. I overcame difficulties like this when I was interviewing for a job during college. When I saw the invigilator, I was as friendly as seeing my own brother. My feet didn't shake anymore, and I spoke smoothly." Bai Muqing laughed. After finishing talking with a smile, he hurriedly added: "I found a part-time job when I was in college. To practice myself, I..."

The door of the bathroom was pulled open with a sound, and Nan Gongchen's figure reappeared in front of her, staring at her with a dead face: "No wonder you always ignore my warnings and orders, so you have a unique trick..."

"Today, I want to let you clearly know that Nangong Chen squatting on the toilet is also very scary!" Nangong Chen said as he was about to pinch her neck with his hands, Bai Muqing was so frightened that she screamed and backed away.

Nan Gongchen was about to catch up with her and seal her mouth with tape when there was a knock at the door.

Bai Muqing stopped her footsteps, put her index finger on her lips, gave Nangong Chen a 'shh', and walked towards the door.

It was Assistant Yan who knocked on the door. She glanced at Bai Muqing who was in pajamas, and nodded politely: "Good morning, Young Madam, is Young Master Chen awake?"

"He? You just woke up from sleep, but..." She asked, "Is there anything Assistant Yan can do for him?"

"The opening ceremony of the new real estate project is about to begin. Young Master Chen said yesterday that he would attend in person."

"This? I'm afraid Young Master Chen won't be able to go." Bai Muqing expressed embarrassment for Nangong Chen.

"Why?" Assistant Yan asked with concern, "What's wrong with Young Master Chen?"
