Marriage first and love later: Wife is hard to chase

Chapter 369 Talking to Duan Qi

Duan Qi paused, facing Duan Shunian's sharp gaze, he actually wanted to avoid it, not daring to look directly into Duan Shunian's eyes.

What he said were all the truest thoughts in his heart. In Duan Qi's eyes, Duan Shunian was not suitable to live in such a dark place, or in other words, it would pollute her here.

People like Duan Shunian, for them, are too clean and pure, beautiful as if without any impurities, just like Bai Zhen back then, attracting people like them who live in darkness, constantly wanting to get closer she.

For them, this kind of person is like a fiery firework, and they themselves are the moths that desperately want to jump into the flame, desperate and even burn themselves for the sake of short-term heat.

"I didn't mean that, Shu Nian, you know, I also think you can stay, but..." Duan Qi paused, then turned to look at her, "You saw it too, Zhong Yuhua..."

They really can't get along, not to mention that the two of them are peacefully in their own territories without interfering with each other, Zhong Yuhua alone is enough to make Duan Qi's brain ache.

In addition, Zhong Yuhua can't tolerate Duan Shunian at all, so if they get along like this, Duan Shunian will only suffer, because Duan Shunian's character is simply not able to defeat the arrogant Zhong Yuhua.

Duan Qi was also doing it for her own good, he just didn't expect that Duan Shunian would understand him so much, the air became stagnant, Duan Qi rubbed his palms in embarrassment, and looked at Duan Shunian with a smirk.

Duan Shunian was more surprised than sad, and had always regarded this place as the last safe haven, but Duan Qi suddenly broke her own cognition, because she was thinking too much, imagining this world too beautifully.

"So, uncle said this because of Zhong Yuhua? I am not suitable for this family because of her?" Duan Shunian trembled, and the breath coming out of her small nose became different.

No one has ever really cared about her, regarded her as an important person, and never expected that anyone would give up what they had for themselves.

It's just... Duan Shunian once thought that his position in Duan Qi's heart was still very important. Duan Qi and Zhong Yuhua had no children, and after she returned to Duan's house, Duan Qi was also very happy.

Duan Shunian didn't blame him for sending herself to Gao Jinnan because of Duan's family. She understood her uncle because of her father's legacy.

But in his heart, she is not as important as a rascal shrew, Duan Shunian can't accept this.

The foot that stepped out of the door slowly retracted, and Duan Shunian, who was about to leave, also turned around and approached the large desk again.

As before, on the opposite side of the desk, Duan Qi looked at himself quietly, the fatigue on his face could not be concealed, the wind and frost had already been engraved on this man's cheek.

It was as if they had returned to a few minutes ago, but both of them had changed their minds. In a trance, Duan Shunian thought, if what happened in the past few minutes was really her own hallucination, then she would not be like this. Depressed.

The dull feeling of oppression in her heart was telling her exactly that all of this was not imagined by herself at all, but actually happened. Duan Shunian looked at Duan Qi, her eyes were more persuasive than before, looking straight into Duan Qi's heart , "Don't you want to answer? Uncle."

Duan Qi shook his head, as if like a rusty machine, with an extremely difficult posture, it took a lot of effort to sit on the chair. Duan Qi really couldn't think of how to answer Duan Shunian's question. words.

The room was quiet and dull, and the beating of the heart felt like the drumbeat of an unfamiliar tune, and the next beat, I don't know where it would land.

Duan Qi thought for a long time, considering what to say, "I didn't evade this question, I was just thinking about someone."

"Who are you thinking about?" Duan Shunian asked softly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed into a straight line.

Duan Qi seemed to be waiting for Duan Shunian to ask this question. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said, "Your mother, Bai Zhen."

In just five words, Duan Shunian's strong defensive line in her heart was completely destroyed, like a strong wind passing through, it swept her heart all over, and the rest was devastated.

In Duan Shunian's mind, Bai Zhen is considered a taboo, she believes in her mother's character, as Bai Zhen's daughter, who else can understand her mother's temperament better than her?

Over the years, Bai Zhen's reputation from the outside world has always been bad. No matter how cowardly Duan Shunian was before, she would not allow herself to hear any bad words about her mother.

At that time, she was like a leopard protecting her territory. As long as someone touched her bottom line, she would chase that person and tear him to pieces. Gradually, no one would mention it in front of her again. Bai Zhen, in her consciousness, also formed an invisible barrier, which tightly protected Bai Zhen.

Duan Qi watched Duan Shunian's face change, thinking in his heart if he had said something wrong, he quickly stood up, wanting to change the subject, "Shu Nian, when do you plan to leave?"

"I don't know." Duan Shunian said calmly, maintaining a posture as if frozen.

"Don't you have any plans? You have to think about this question earlier. Do you want to continue to be hurt here?" Duan Qi didn't give her any time to react, one question after another, thinking until Duan Shunian Forget the unhappiness before.

Duan Shunian closed her eyes, the shallow eye sockets set off the long eyelashes, just like a porcelain doll, so delicate that people love it.

"You want me to leave here so much?" Duan Shunian didn't answer, but asked a question instead.

Duan Qi was stunned, he just wanted to cover up the matter of Bai Zhen, but he didn't expect that he was anxious and said the wrong thing, "No! No!"

Repeatedly denying, as the saying goes, the more anxious the more flustered, Duan Qi couldn't say anything other than the word "no".

Duan Shunian closed his eyes and listened to Duan Qi's flustered voice. Under his gaze, he slowly opened his eyes, "I always thought that you are the person who cares about me the most, and I also regard you as the most important relative. I never thought that the person you are closest to is actually Zhong Yuhua."

Duan Qi's voice of denial stopped abruptly, as if someone had strangled his throat in an instant, making it difficult to breathe.

"I don't want to say anything, just say one thing, I didn't blame uncle, you don't have to play the role of a warm elder." After Duan Shunian finished speaking, she turned around immediately, she didn't want Duan Qi to see the tears she couldn't help but shed tears.

Because it was so sad, any one person's sympathy at this time was enough to give her a heavy blow, knocking her down completely, falling into the mire, and never turning over.

The important person has never cared about herself, just because of the so-called guilt, she was confused by the warmth on the surface, and Duan Shunian found it hard to tell.

The environment in which she grew up made her sensitive and inferior. She maintained a feeling of jealousy and insecurity towards the outside world, and her insecure personality caused her to like Gao Jinnan, and it was also the reason why she desperately wanted to trust her uncle.

Duan Shunian regretted it a bit. She shouldn't have told Duan Qi all the thoughts in her heart. To her, Duan Qi is just a wolf pretending to be the same kind. If he doesn't pay attention, he may betray himself again.

After understanding the emotion in Duan Shunian's eyes, Duan Qi's heart tightened, "Shu Nian, I never thought of harming you, the last time was just Gao Jinnan's game, you don't want to see Duan's being destroyed by me, do you?" .”

Duan Shunian shook his head, turned his back to Duan Qi, and said in a low voice, "It's useless to say anything now, the matter has passed, don't stick to those meaningless things anymore, it will be the future." the most important."

Duan Qi was confused by the inexplicable words. He could understand the first half of the sentence, but what does the latter sentence mean?Duan Qi looked at the back of Duan Shunian walking out of the study, and wanted to stop her.

But Duan Qi felt that he was like a puppet controlled by others, even his actions were controlled by others, it was difficult to speak, only his thoughts could be controlled by himself.

The study room was left alone, and it was so quiet that it was hard to hear his own breathing. Duan Qi stood upright. After an unknown amount of time, he supported the table, bent his stiff legs impatiently, bowed his head and smiled bitterly. laugh.

This smile contains too many emotions, including guilt towards Duan Shunian, anger towards Gao Jinnan, and nostalgia for Bai Zhen.

Even though many years have passed, Duan Qi still can't forget that pure lily-like smile back then, which appeared in his dreams countless times, and the tip of his nose seemed to be lingering with the fragrance of lilies.

That taste belonged to Bai Zhen. At that time, he was almost obsessed. When he looked at Bai Zhen, he would think about how to get her. His reason was swallowed up by desire, and he did the absurd things later.

He should have been burdened with guilt, but he single-handedly sent Duan Shuqi to the point of no return, so he met Zhong Yuhua, and everything now is his retribution!

Duan Qi smiled and raised his head, the smile gradually enlarged and spread to the whole face, he faced the ceiling, and laughed, the voice was bitter and hard to chew.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave Zhong Yuhua, it's that he really can't leave her. He will be by her side for the rest of his life and suffer all kinds of tortures to repay the mistakes he made.

In the fine lines at the corners of the eyes, a crystal water mark flowed out, shining under the light of the incandescent lamp.

Duan Shunian returned to the room, this conversation with Duan Qi not only did not give her the desired result, but made herself even more bored, and the desire to leave became more and more urgent.

Before she left, she said something like that, and she planned to leave here in the middle of the night.

Duan Shunian opened the closet, it was full of her clothes, the top shelf of the closet was a suitcase, took out the dusty suitcase, Duan Shunian looked at the full closet, standing there not knowing what to do.
