After Yusu left, Lin Wanwan put down the storybook in her hand and joked with a smile: "Boss Su is really mercenary. He actually let Yusu use my information to blackmail Hua Yanzhi. I don't think my misty pawnshop will be in Boss Su's deep thoughts." If you think long-term, you will make a lot of money in a short time.”
Su Jingqian lazily raised his chin, stared at her with interest, and said leisurely: "You came up with this idea yourself. I was just following the trend. Why are you still blaming me?"
Lin Wanwan seemed to have been enlightened by him, she immediately suppressed her smile, glared at him viciously, then turned around and stopped talking to him.
Seeing that the kitten seemed to be a little hairy, Su Jingqian's eyes flashed with a fond smile, and he couldn't help but slow down his tone: "The Hua family has covered the sky with one hand in Nanling City over the years, and plundered a lot of people's wealth, since They take it from the people, so why can't we use it for the people? It's the New Year's Eve in a few days, and there are still many homeless people outside Nanling City. At this time of year, Xuanji Tower will spend some money outside the city. "Giving porridge, if you feel that Hua Yanzhi's money is unclean, use it to exchange for some food and distribute it to the people."
"Soup soup?"
Lin Wanwan was a little surprised. Could it be that Su Jin has been doing good things for the people of Nanling these years? But why did he do this? If he had previously resettled the flood-stricken refugees in order to win over the people, then what was his purpose in using the name of Xuanji Tower to spread aid in recent years? There is simply no profit in doing so.
perhaps……
Lin Wanwan turned to look at him. Every moment she had spent with him in the past year poured into her mind bit by bit. The lingering figure in her memory gradually merged with the person in front of her.
Perhaps, Su Jin is not so cold-blooded and unfeeling.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile. Those starry eyes reflected the tiny sunlight, like a lake of clear water with starlight melting into it. Even the ripples of light became a bit softer.
The time is burning, and the memory is hard to erase. The past time gradually gathered in her mind, like stars scattered across the sky, shining brightly in her memory.
"What are you thinking about, so funny?"
Just as Lin Wanwan was wandering in her thoughts, she heard that lazy voice ringing in her ears. There seemed to be a trace of a casual smile in the intoxicating tone.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When she regained consciousness, she realized that Su Jingqian had stood in front of her window at some point.
I saw him lazily leaning against the window, his thin lips slightly raised, his whole body bathed in the golden warm sun, like a piece of flawless cold jade covered with a layer of golden gauze, those extremely alluring pair of The peach blossom eyes were staring at her with a smile. There seemed to be some kind of emotion hidden deep in the eyes, which people couldn't see through, but they couldn't help but want to delve deeper.
Just a brief glance, just like the sudden guest, Feihong Yinxue, disturbed her peace.
Lin Wanwan quickly suppressed the strange emotions rising in her heart and smiled at him: "It's rare for Boss Su to be kind and charitable. If I can do my best for the people of Nanling, I will be obliged to do so."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and continued reading the storybook without waiting for Su Jingqian to speak.
Even though she restrained herself very quickly, he was still able to capture the trace of emotion hidden deep in her eyes.
His heart suddenly trembled, and a warm current suddenly surged out. The scorching temperature seemed to be injected into his blood and penetrated into his bone marrow. It caused waves in his heart and was difficult to calm down for a long time.
He looked at her softly for a long time, and then asked softly: "I'm going out of the city in two days, do you want to come with me?"
"You want to leave the city? Where to go?"
"You'll know when you go."
Lin Wanwan looked up at him and raised her eyebrows curiously, as if she wanted to get to the bottom of it.
But before she could open her mouth, he cut her off: "I see you haven't been out for a long time, and I want to take you out for a walk."
Lin Wanwan had not left home since she last met Hua Yanzhi on the street. Even the invitations from Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi were rejected by her one by one. If Su Jin hadn't appeared in her room every three days Inside, she was almost discovered by Cong Shuanghe Yiyi several times. How could she not be able to get out?
I still remember that one time, when Xu Jiaojiao came to see her, she happened to see their usually unpredictable pavilion master turning over from the backyard with ease. After seeing the shocked Xu Jiaojiao, he But there was no sign of panic at all, and he even nodded to Xu Jiaojiao as if nothing had happened, looking as calm as if he were in his own backyard.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but glare at the culprit. Unexpectedly, what she responded to was a deep and melodious chuckle that echoed for a long time in this warm and sunny afternoon.
…
It's twilight, the cold wind is blowing, and the winter sun shines with cold white, falling on the layers of snow, reflecting a vast white scene. The trees and villages on both sides of the road seem to be covered with a layer of snow-white velvet. blanket.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a remote village outside the city. Su Jingqian got off the carriage first, and then reached out to pick up Lin Wanwan who was behind him. Following them was Long Shuang, who was wearing a sable fur coat.
Lin Wanwan rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked up. She saw a green hall and tiled houses standing quietly under the shadow of low clouds. The scattered eaves tiles were covered with a layer of mottled snow. A jackdaw made a hoarse call on the towering treetops, composing a whisper for the cold winter day.
Zhuangzi's housekeeper and several servants had been waiting in front of Zhuangzi's gate. When they saw Su Jingqian, they immediately went up to greet him and gave him a big salute.
Long Shuang looked at the door that was so close, clutching his fur coat tightly, with a hint of unconcealable tension in his slightly excited eyes.
Lin Wanwan walked over and patted her hand comfortingly.
Long Shuang understood, gave her a faint smile, and nodded gently.
Su Jingqian took the hand stove from the servant, briefly tested the temperature, then turned around and stuffed it into Lin Wanwan's hand. This move that was extremely shocking in the eyes of others seemed very natural in his eyes, as if he had already done it. Countless times, it has become a habit.
Then, he nodded slightly towards Long Shuang and said, "Let's go."
Lin Wanwan's cold fingers trembled slightly when they touched the warm hand stove, and the warmth gradually spread along her fingertips to the bottom of her heart.
She couldn't help but cast her eyes on the man wearing a fox fur cloak beside her. Her thoughts surged with boundless warmth. The words he said two days ago still lingered in her ears.
"I'll probably be very busy in a while, and I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you like I do these days. It's better to ask Nuan Yan and Yu Su to move here, which will be more convenient. As for the people in the pavilion, you Don’t worry about them becoming suspicious, I will make arrangements for you.”
"Nuanyan and Yusu are living well at the pawnshop, why do you suddenly ask me to recall them?" She was a little confused, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"They are your guards, so they should stay by your side to protect you." He answered very matter-of-factly, as if it was a matter of course.
Even though his expression was still calm and composed, she was still keenly aware that when he asked her to recall Nuan Yan and Yu Su, he was definitely not as pure as he said.
"Are you hiding something from me?" As she spoke, she suddenly realized something, "Someone... wants to do something bad to me?"
It wasn't until this moment that she understood that his uninvited presence and his company day and night during this period were all to protect her. But who is it that makes him feel unsafe even in his own place?
He half-closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. He was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "You will gradually understand some things in the future, but the less you know now, the better for you. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, Whatever happens, I will do my best to protect you."
