the seventh bride

Chapter 83 Who is the Murderer?
"Because... I don't want to eat iced ones, I'm afraid it will hurt my stomach." Bai Muqing took the milk tea, took his arm and walked towards the ticket gate: "Let's go."

As expected, Nangong Chen has no interest in this kind of movie. When Bai Qing cried for the heroine's bumpy love journey, he only made sarcastic remarks on the sidelines.

At first, I could remind her that it was a movie acted out by people, and there was no need to be serious like a crazy person, and handed her a tissue. By the second half of the movie, I didn't even bother to hand the tissue.

Bai Muqing turned her head and found that he had fallen asleep leaning against the back of the chair, sleeping peacefully.

Thanks to him being able to sleep!

Bai Muqing silently wiped away her tears with a tissue, worried that he would catch a cold, so she took off her coat and put it on him.

When the movie was coming to an end, Bai Muqing had to leave the theater to find the bathroom because of inner urgency.In order not to miss the last climax of the movie, she hurried back after going to the bathroom.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she unexpectedly ran into Lin Annan.

With a pause in her footsteps, she stopped, originally planning to walk past him, but Lin Annan reached out to hold her and said, "Mu Qing, don't go."

"You let go." Bai Muqing broke away from him angrily, and said angrily, "I'm warning you, Nangong Chen is in the No. [-] theater in front, you'd better be more self-respecting."

"I know." Lin Annan said seriously, "I have something to do with you."

"Why are you looking for me again?" Bai Muqing became furious when she heard his reason: "You didn't come here specially to find me again, did you? Young Master Lin, how many times have I told you that the relationship between us The time is not that familiar, and there has been no intersection for a long time."

"That's right, I came here on a special trip to find you." Lin Annan said without guilt: "I've asked you out several times recently and you refused to come out, so I had no choice but to come here with you."

Lin Annan was telling the truth. Recently, he had asked Bai Muqing several times but was flatly rejected. When he passed downstairs, he happened to see Nangong Chen's car, so he followed him.

"Aren't you afraid of angering Nangong Chen at all?"

"Don't worry, I'll leave after I finish talking." Since he dared to come up to block Bai Muqing, he naturally knew that Nangong Chen would be sleeping soundly in the theater.

Bai Muqing had nothing to do with him, so she urged impatiently: "Then tell me quickly, what's the matter."

Lin Annan saw that she didn't insist on leaving, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It seems that you and Nan Gongchen get along very well, and the relationship is so good that we can go to the movies together. But I'm curious, If you knew his true character and what he did to you, would you still be in the mood to watch a movie with him?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Muqing frowned.

Lin Annan paused for a moment, and then said in a mocking tone: "Didn't you always want to know how your grandma died? In fact, you should ask Nangong Chen about this matter, because he knows it better than anyone else."

A flash of surprise flashed across Bai Muqing's heart, and she asked instinctively, "What did you say?"

"I said, your dearest grandmother was actually forced to death by Nangong Chen, just because of the small courtyard of your grandmother's house. He forced your grandmother to death, but you still foolishly married him and served him. He even has the mood to watch a movie with him."

Bai Muqing stared at him blankly, what did he say?Grandma was forced to death by Nangong Chen?How can there be? !
What is the relationship between Nangong Chen and her grandmother?Why do you want to force her to death?This doesn't make sense at all!

"You're lying!" Bai Muqing finally regained her composure, glared at him and growled angrily, "Don't you just want to separate Nangong Chen and me? You even thought of such a trick Come out? Let me tell you, I won't be fooled by you!"

After Bai Muqing finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.

She doesn't believe it, she will never believe it!

"Do you not want to believe it or can't believe it?" Lin Annan uttered a sentence towards her back, directly hitting the trace of resistance in her heart.

Yes, is she unable to believe it or unwilling to believe it?Don't want to believe that grandma died at the hands of Nangong Chen?
If what Lin Annan said is true, how should she face Nangong Chen?
No, she would not believe the truth, absolutely not!
She turned around, stared at him expressionlessly and said, "I won't believe everything you say."

Lin Annan spread his hands indifferently, and said, "Facts are facts, no matter how you avoid them, they are still facts. It is not easy to know the truth, just check the real estate under Nan Gongchen's name."

Seeing that Bai Muqing stopped talking, Lin Annan took two steps forward and stood in front of her again, smiling a bit: "Actually, I have no other meaning in doing this, I just hope that you can truly understand Nangong Chen's character, and break up with Nangong Chen in the future." Time, don't be too sad."

Bai Muqing took a deep breath uncomfortably, feeling that even breathing was difficult.

Although he kept saying that he didn't believe Lin Annan, how could he be indifferent after hearing these words?Can't do it at all!
"How do you know that we will definitely break up?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Bai Muqing's body tightened, and she froze in place.

Lin Annan didn't expect Nangong Chen to come out suddenly, the movie is not over yet, isn't it?He smiled at him with some embarrassment: "cousin."

Nangong Chen lightly curled the corners of his lips, held Bai Muqing's coat in his arms, walked to Bai Muqing's side and stood still, raised his hand and gently wrapped her shoulders and glanced at Lin Annan: "I'm asking you something, why are you Know that we will be separated?"

Lin Annan opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly: "I just heard... my cousin doesn't like my cousin, so..."

"So you think we're bound to break up?"

"I'm sorry..." Lin Annan rubbed his palms uncomfortably, glanced at Bai Muqing with a smile, and said, "I happened to meet my cousin here, so I cared about her a few words, then I'll leave first, goodbye. "

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the exit of the cinema.

Lin Annan left, but Bai Muqing still stood upright like a zombie.

Nangong Chen looked down at her, and asked coldly: "Aren't you going to explain to me?"

"What?" Bai Muqing asked blankly.

explain what?Explain why a grandma popped up out of nowhere?What does explaining his grandmother have to do with Nan Gongchen?
God!When did he come here?How much did you hear again?
Nangong Chen glanced at the direction where Lin Annan left, and said, "Of course it's to explain your relationship with him. Could it be that we met here by such a coincidence?"

Bai Muqing raised her small face, and asked without answering, "When did you come out?"

"It's been less than 2 minutes since I came out." Nangong Chen said.

When he woke up, he found that the seat next to him was vacant, so he came out to find someone, but when he turned the corner, he saw the two of them chatting face to face, and they were still talking about breaking up with him.

fine!He didn't seem to hear much, Bai Muqing secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"He and I really just met by chance." She said, her heart was still heavy like a stone.

"By chance, we can talk about breaking up with me?" Nangong Chen leaned over, blocked her against the wall in the corridor, looked at her closely and teased: "You want to leave me so impatiently?"

"I do not have."

"That you……."

"Nangong Chen." Bai Muqing turned her face away slightly, avoiding his strong breath: "It's not like you don't know, not only him, everyone thinks that we will break up sooner or later."

"Really? Why don't I know?"

"Because you don't care at all."

"Who said I don't care?" Nangong Chen raised his hand and pinched her chin, staring at him: "Even if I really don't care, but you are still my wife now, and you still belong to me. As long as it is mine, I don't like it." Share it with others, you understand?"

"I understand." Tears welled up in Bai Muqing's eyes.

"Just understand, remember to stay away from him next time." He let go of her and took a step back.

Nangong Chen originally planned to turn around and leave, but Bai Muqing suddenly grabbed his wrist and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Can I ask you something?"

"Ask." Nangong Chen pointed at her eyes with his chin: "Wipe your tears first, I hate women who love to cry."

Bai Muqing raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, but when she looked at him again, she suddenly couldn't ask any questions.

What should she ask?Ask him directly if he is the murderer of her grandmother?Or ask him if he was the buyer who bought the small courtyard of the Zhu family back then?No matter how you ask, you will eventually reveal that you are not Bai Yingan's secret!

"Why don't you ask?" Nan Gongchen slightly raised his eyebrows when he saw the confusion on her face.

"It's nothing." Bai Muqing shook her head, "Let's go, I'm going back."

The two went down to the first floor together, and when they stepped out of the gate, Nan Gongchen put her coat in his arms over her body.

This subtle action made Bai Muqing even more sad. If she had met Lin Annan before, she might have been moved and delighted by Nan Gongchen's action.But right now, there is more sadness in my heart.

If Nangong Chen was really the murderer who killed her grandmother, no matter what he did, she would not appreciate it!

Because... grandma was the person she loved the most since she was a child.

From the moment she got in the car, Bai Muqing kept her posture, leaning her head sideways on the back of the seat and watching the flashing street scene outside the window.

The car drove halfway, but she still didn't move.

Nangong Chen in the driver's seat was not used to her being so quiet, he glanced at her sideways, and said in a calm tone: "Are you still obsessed with the coincidence with Lin Annan after all? , or are you immersed in the plot of that brain-dead drama?"

Hearing what he said, Bai Muqing came back to her senses and said casually: "Of course it's in the plot."

She also wanted to pretend to be as happy as when she went out, but she really couldn't.

She took a look at Nangong Chen, thinking that it would be great if she didn't meet Lin Annan today, maybe she would pester Nangong Chen to accompany her to have a supper after the movie, maybe take a stroll on the street near the movie theater, In short, I will not go home with a heavy heart like now.

When she got home, Bai Muqing went into the bathroom and took a shower. She didn't even feel like drawing anymore, she just nestled on the bed, but no matter how hard she tried to fall asleep, she still couldn't fall asleep.

She lifted the quilt and glanced at the time on the wall, it was already 12 o'clock.

Suddenly there was a sound of twisting the doorknob at the door, Bai Muqing turned around quickly and closed her eyes to pretend to be asleep, she knew it was Nangong Chen who came in without guessing.

Nangong Chen had just taken a shower in his room, when a sudden impulse came up in his body, so he came here.

He walked to the bed, stared at her in the 'sleeping', and then happily opened the quilt to lie in, and even took her into his arms from behind her.

Every time he likes to hug her from behind and kiss her awake bit by bit, and it's the same this time.

His breath was so strong that Bai Muqing's body couldn't help but tense, and she almost groaned.

Feeling the stiffness of her body, Nan Gongchen whispered reproaches in her ear: "Are you pretending to be asleep again?"

Being noticed by him, Bai Muqing quietly opened her eyes, sideways avoiding his kiss.

"Every time I come, you pretend to be asleep. Is there such an uncooperative wife as you?" Nangong Chen simply turned her body over, forcing her to face himself: "Or am I so annoying to you?"

"Sorry, I'm just a little tired."

"Every time I pretend to sleep and say I'm tired, do you want to break up or do I want to?" Nan Gongchen stared at her so hard that there was nowhere to hide his eyes.

Bai Muqing couldn't answer, and couldn't refuse anymore, so she closed her eyes.

The strap of the nightgown fell off in his hands, and the temperature of his replacement clothes warmed her. It should have been a wonderful thing, but she couldn't help but shed tears.

Lin Annan's words suddenly appeared in her mind, Nangong Chen killed her grandmother, but she married him, and even had shameless sex under him.

If grandma Quanxia knew, would she be so angry that she couldn't sleep?

Nangong Chen's kiss moved to her face again, tasted the bitter taste, he stopped his movements, raised his head slightly to look at her.

Bai Muqing closed her eyes and turned her face away, unable to look directly at him.

The tears on her face successfully extinguished all Nangong Chen's enthusiasm, he let go of her, and looked at her with annoyed eyes: "I said that I don't like women who love to cry, force the tears back to me."

Bai Muqing raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, and turned her back to him.

It was the first time that Nangong Chen met such an inexplicable woman. Distraught, he turned over and got out of bed, picked up the nightgown on the floor and put it on his body, and walked towards the bedroom door without even looking at her.

After he left, Bai Muqing's heart was also empty.

At this time, she was so contradictory, silently resisting him while desperately wanting to get closer to him.

She knew what would happen if she annoyed Nan Gongchen, and it would be a long time before she could get a smile or a straight look from him, but she really couldn't care less about Lin Annan's words.

*****
Ever since meeting Lin Annan in the movie theater, Bai Muqing has been in a depressed mood for several days, and today she managed to catch Shen Ke to rest at home.

In the afternoon Shen Ke was exercising in the gym, and Bai Muqing also came to the gym when no one was there.

"Sister-in-law, are you here to exercise too?" Shen Ke, who was running hard on the treadmill, smiled at her.

Bai Muqing nodded her head, and stood on a treadmill next to Shen Ke, loitering.

"Sister-in-law, don't you know how to turn it on? Do you want me to turn it on for you?" Shen Ke got off the treadmill.

"No, I'll run again later." Bai Muqing said, seeing Shen Ke stand back on the treadmill again, she asked in an intentional or unintentional tone: "Shen Ke, can I ask you something?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished asking, Shen Ke immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "Don't ask me, I really don't know anything about the ancestral hall."

"I'm not asking about the ancestral hall." Bai Muqing was speechless, she didn't want to explore the weirdness of the ancestral hall for a long time.

Shen Ke was relieved, and the smile returned to his face: "Then what do you want to know?"

"I would like to know what properties are under the name of Young Master Chen. You work in Nangong Group and your parents are in Nangong. You should know this, right?"

"My cousin has so many properties all over the country that you can't even count them. Why are you asking about this?"

"I don't do anything, I just... want to get to know him better." Although she knew that Shen Ke would despise herself after saying this, and felt that she was thinking something crooked, but she couldn't think of any other reason besides this. .

Sure enough, Shen Ke's smile froze, but he quickly said, "My cousin really has too many real estate properties. I can't give you a detailed list of them. I'm sorry."

"Then does he have a house in Yancheng under his name?" In order to prevent him from thinking too much or mentioning it to Nangong Chen, Bai Muqing hastily added: "Actually, I really like Yancheng, and I want to go there when I have time It’s a long-term vacation, but it’s not very convenient to not have your own house.”

"Oh." Shen Ke nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, my cousin has a lot of real estate in Yancheng, more than anywhere else."

more than any one place?Is it because of that woman?

Bai Muqing shook her head lightly, now is not the time to worry about this.After thinking about it, she asked, "What kind of real estate do you have?"

"Hmm... There are villas, apartments, and garden duplexes of all kinds."

"Is there a small courtyard in the ancient city? For example, the type of house in Yanxi Old Street." Bai Muqing almost couldn't wait to answer.

"That's not true." Shen Ke looked at her: "Does sister-in-law like that kind of house?"

Hearing that he said no, Bai Muqing was overjoyed instantly.

No, does that mean Lin Annan is simply talking nonsense?To intentionally create a misunderstanding between her and Nangong Chen?
"Yeah." She nodded with a smile: "I quite like that simple style."

"Isn't it easy to like it? Just ask my cousin to buy you one." Shen Ke said with a smile.

"No, no need." Bai Muqing hurriedly shook her head: "Actually, what I'm saying is that if you really want to go on vacation, it's definitely much more comfortable to live in a villa."

"That's true."

"Thank you." Bai Muqing raised her hand and patted his arm: "I won't disturb your exercise anymore."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked briskly to the entrance of the gym. Behind her was Shen Ke's suspicious call: "Hey! Sister-in-law, didn't you say you want to exercise together? Why are you leaving?"

"I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do." She threw him a sentence and stepped out of the gym.

*****
Bai Muqing returned to the main house, and unexpectedly saw Xu Yarong sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

Surprise flashed across his face, and at the same time, a bad premonition flashed across his heart, what would happen if Xu Yarong came here?Most likely it was for Bai Ying'an to take over the Nangong family.

In the past few days, she deliberately avoided their mother and daughter, not because she wanted to occupy Bai Yingan's position all the time, but because of the poor child in her womb.

As long as she thought of Xu Yarong's plan to force her to kill the child, she would be so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well.

"Mom, why are you here?" She tried her best to put a smile on her face and walked over.

Xu Yarong took her arm affectionately and sat down, smiling and said: "Of course I came to see you, I heard that you are pregnant..."

"Mom, drink tea!" Bai Muqing hurriedly interrupted her.

Feeling her intentional interruption, Xu Yarong was startled, looked at her, and then at the old lady on the opposite sofa.

Sister He immediately turned around and said to the servant beside her, "You all go your own way, I'll just do it here."

After the servants retreated, the old lady put down the teacup in her hand and finally spoke, looking at Bai Muqing with obvious reproach: "Didn't it mean that no one knew about this?"

"Grandma, my mother...sees it." Bai Muqing said with a guilty conscience, she knew that the old lady didn't want anyone to know about this, including her natal family.

Xu Yarong has always been very good at observing facial expressions, and she figured out the situation in a few words, she quickly echoed Bai Muqing and said: "Yes, yes, old lady, you said that we are all from here, and the young couple is newly married. With that look, you know you're pregnant. But old lady, don't worry, I will never tell anyone about it."

"It's good to understand, especially Chen, don't let him know."

"Yes, I understand," Xu Yarong responded repeatedly.

The old lady showed a bit of fatigue, and was about to stand up from the sofa and said: "Ying'an, you can go upstairs with your mother and have a private chat. I want to go back to my room and lie down, so I won't bother you."

"Old madam." Xu Yarong hurriedly called her to stop, the old madam sat back on the sofa and glanced at her: "Is there anything else my mother-in-law wants to do?"

"It's like this, old lady." Xu Yarong took Bai Muqing's arm again, looked at the old lady with a smile and said, "I can see that Ying'an is not happy staying in this mansion, so I want to take her back to live in Bai's house It took ten days and a half a month. The mood of a pregnant woman affects the development and growth of the fetus. I am such a precious daughter, and of course I hope that the child she gives birth to will be healthy and beautiful. So I think..."

The old lady looked at Bai Muqing, then at Xu Yarong, and said a little unhappy, "It's as if our Nangong family treats your daughter badly."

"No, I don't mean that." Xu Yarong hurriedly said: "I mean that Ying'an and Chen Shao have no emotional foundation after all, and there will definitely be some friction in living together. Besides, pregnant women are prone to emotional instability. Ying'an As for An, she lived with Bai's parents since she was a child, and she has great feelings for every plant and tree there. With her dad and I, she can feel much happier. After she passes the first three or four months, the fetus is the most important thing. During her developmental period, I will send her back again."
