With just these five words, Wei Jingwei knew what he meant.
After saying that, he looked at the woman with clasped hands in front of her and her eyes lowered towards the candles on the table. Her black hair was a little messy and her clothes were a little wrinkled, but they couldn't hide her gorgeous face at all.
Looking closely, she seemed to have been frightened and had not yet recovered, and her crossed fingertips were still trembling slightly.
His voice was a little softer for no reason, "Are you okay? I shouldn't have come too late just now."
Wei Jingwei thought of what happened today and felt a little aggrieved for no reason.
There was an inexplicable lump in my throat. After adjusting my mood several times, I softly said, "I'm fine. Thank you very much for tonight."
Seeing her devastated look, Jiang Yinbai stopped teasing her, and the two fell silent again.
"you..."
"you..."
The two opened their mouths at the same time, looking at each other across the table, and Wei Jingwei burst into laughter. It dispelled the depressed mood in my heart.
"Mrs. Wei, please speak first."
"Nothing, Mr. Jiang, please speak first."
The two showed humility to each other, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
This was the first time that Wei Jingwei looked at the famous legend in Beijing so clearly. Wearing a crimson red robe on him would not make people feel gorgeous, but it matched his thick sword-like eyebrows and his peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
There was still some unmelted snow on his head, so he obviously came in a hurry.
He just sat there very casually, thinking of the stories people told him, those legendary colors, which inexplicably gave people the courage to "only let the flying generals in the dragon city be here, but did not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains".
Thinking of this, Wei Jingwei secretly laughed at herself, don't be fooled by the appearance of the person in front of you.
The person who came was the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, who had been sitting in the killing position since he was young.
"Has Mr. Jiang been spying on me?"
After suppressing the random thoughts in her mind, Wei Jingwei quickly discovered the key point. What happened tonight was very secretive, and almost all the people who knew about it were people in her Hongxia Pavilion.
How could Jiang Yinbai have such a coincidence that Mei Mansion appeared at this time?
Is it possible that this person has a hobby of sneaking around from house to house in Beijing at night?
The room was dark except for a candle.
Jiang Yinbai on the opposite side slowly raised his head from the shadows, his angular face exposed in the candlelight.
His skin color is much whiter than that of ordinary people, even better than that of women. The eyebrows are elegant and noble, extremely beautiful. A face is like a fine ink painting, completely natural.
He was silent for a while and then said in a low voice, "Don't you recognize me?"
Wei Jingwei shook her head and asked doubtfully, "Do I know you?"
She had thought about this problem before. Could it be that she and Jiang Yinbai were old acquaintances? But she checked the people in her memory over and over again, but she couldn't find anyone who could match the person in front of her.
As soon as she said this, Jiang Yinbai seemed to be discouraged, "You really don't know me anymore, little Qiangwei."
Little Rose?
She hadn't heard anyone call these three words for a long time, ever since her mother passed away...
Her tone was urgent, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the edge of the table, "Who the hell are you!"
"Have you forgotten all about the half year at Hot Spring Villa?"
Jiang Yinbai's thin lips opened slightly, awakening Wei Jingwei's memory.
When she was five years old, because her health had been poor, her mother ordered her nanny to take her to live in a village that was part of her mother's dowry.
Zhuangzi is rich in all kinds of vegetables and fruits all year round, simply because there is a pool of very precious hot spring water in Zhuangzi.
The hot spring water is warm all year round, and a dip in it is extremely beneficial to the body.
She then stayed in Zhuangzi on the pretext of recuperating her health.
This stay lasted two years.
In that farm she would play around during the day, and at night she would watch the farmers raising chickens and ducks. Her mother would come to visit her from time to time, and her life was quite pleasant.
But one night, just as she was about to go to bed, she heard the sound of someone at the outer door.
She was young and curious, and she didn't know the depths and dangers of the world, so she opened the door alone to find out what was going on without telling her grandma and maids.
Following the sound, five-year-old Wei Jingwei came to a firewood shed. Through the door of the firewood shed, she could hear the faint cry of pain from someone inside.
The voice was very childish, and it sounded like a young person.
She was about to turn back to her grandma to tell her about this, but the moment she turned her head, she noticed the blood stains on the door.
The blood stain was in the shape of a small palm, which looked very shocking.
She thought in her mind that if her grandma and others knew about it, they would be driven away because they were worried about her safety. Maybe they would think him a bad guy and send him to the government.
After feeling compassion, she suppressed this thought and gently opened the door and went in.
Sure enough, a trembling little figure behind the firewood fell silent after she entered.
He only looked at her with a pair of big, dark and bright eyes, motionless and dangerous.
Wei Jingwei, who was wearing a pink jacket and skirt, was very thin. She boldly asked in a sweet voice, "Are you injured? Does it hurt?"
After that, the boy rested in Zhuangzi for a long time.
In the past six months, Wei Jingwei had taken care of him without telling everyone, feeding him, clothing him, and even letting him go to hot springs.
Half a year later, one morning, he mysteriously disappeared. Wei Jingwei was sad for several days and then put the matter behind her.
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, and said with surprise, "Are you a dog?"
Jiang Yinbai smiled helplessly and nodded.
Wei Jingwei then asked: "Why did you disappear without even leaving a word? I thought you were in some danger."
"It's a long story." Jiang Yinbai's mouth was a little bitter. He thought that he would finally be able to find her after returning to the capital, returning home, and then in front of the Holy Emperor, having a position that ordinary people could not reach.
Unexpectedly, news came that the legitimate daughter of the Wei family was getting married.
The marriage was very quick, and the wedding was completed within a few days, which caught him off guard.
I thought that for a woman like her, the other party would cherish her and love her after she got married, and I could rest assured, but I didn't expect...
Thinking of his previous negligence and self-righteousness, and that he only now knew about her situation, Jiang Yinbai felt overwhelming bitterness in his heart.
Wei Jingwei saw that he was silent and refused to say anything, so she stopped asking.
Just looking at Mei Yuanqing who was murmuring on the ground, he realized that he had been unconscious for a long time and might be about to wake up. He reminded him: "He might wake up. You have to go now."
Jiang Yinbai looked gloomily at the man lying on the ground, but his heart was filled with murderous intent.
