The Reluctant Bride

Is she crazy? Still staying?

Looking at the thick gauze wrapped around his back, Zheng Qimei shook her head slightly: "I'm not going."

"You..." The words are full of effort.

Zheng Qimei sat down by the bed and tried to calm herself down. "Are you hungry? There is porridge in the kitchen downstairs. Can I bring it to you?"

"I'm not hungry." Tang Yanan shook his head, but yelled at this moment in a disobedient stomach. The corners of Zheng Qimei's lips rose, and her eyes were a bit pleasant.

"It seems that your belly is much more honest than yours." No water dripped in. I'm not hungry.

Tang Yanan was a little embarrassed, and a suspicious blush appeared on his face that had always been cold.

Zheng Qimei didn't care about him, got up and went downstairs to serve porridge. There is no guard downstairs, Xuanyuanzhen went out just now, and he didn't know what to do.

No one was guarding the villa inside or outside. When you want to come to Xuanyuanzhen, it is clear that you will not run again, right?

Sigh, what is she? Put the heated porridge on the tray and serve it upstairs, Zheng Qimei laughed at herself in her heart. Obviously before, she wished to leave here quickly. But now there is a chance to escape, but she does not.

Don't know if this is a kind of scumbag?

Sighed, brought the porridge into the room, and found that Tang Yanan was actually up, she quickly put down the porridge and stepped forward: "Why are you up? Your wound is still not healed. You can say what you want."

Looking at the tension on her face, Tang Yanan felt very useful for some reason. He raised his eyebrows and pointed to the bathroom: "I'm going to the bathroom. Can you help me?"

"..." With a bang, Zheng Qimei's cheeks turned red. Let go and take a quick step back. Seeing that he was about to stand up, he stepped forward unbearably to help him.

"You, are you okay?"

She was hurt so badly, not to mention who he suffered.

"I'm fine." Before he could see the injury, Tang Yanan waved away Zheng Qimei's hand into the bathroom.

He has injuries on his body, and his movements don't look too sloppy, Zheng Qimei can see it, bloodshot faintly on the gauze behind him.

A hundred whips, she didn't know the multiple injuries, she couldn't imagine, but he took it. Sit down by the bed and waited for Tang Yanan to come out.

"Drink porridge." Zheng Qimei is not too comfortable. Every time she faced Tang Yanan, she was either yelling, screaming, or being crushed by him...

She didn't want to think about it. Suddenly she wanted to get along with him in this normal way, and she felt a bit twisted. He lowered his head slightly, deliberately avoiding his sight.

Tang Yanan walked to the bed and sat down. Every step he took, the wound behind him felt more painful, but there was no change in his face. He took the porridge and resolved it in one breath, regardless of whether it was hot or not.

After drinking, she raised her head to look at Zheng Qimei, her head hung down, her eyes half-closed, not looking at his sight, he stretched out his hand to her, she instinctively shrank back.

When I looked at him again, I was afraid that he might need it, so I raised my head and looked at him: "You, where are you still uncomfortable?"

"No." He didn't pay attention to the pain of skin and flesh. He looked at Zheng Qimei with a helpless expression: "Why didn't you go? Didn't I let you go?"

Zheng Qimei did not answer his question, but instead raised her own question: "Why are you saving me?"

Tang Yanan was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows narrowed: "You are my woman."

Regardless of whether Zheng Qimei was willing or not, she gave it to him for the first time. She became what she is now because of him. He has the obligation to protect her from harm.

Zheng Qimei had long understood the answer, but at this moment, she felt a bit disappointed. As for why she was lost, she couldn't tell. Not wanting to be entangled with emotions that she couldn't understand, she changed the subject.

"Why do you follow that evildoer? What about your parents? Don't you think they have no opinion?"

Tang Yanan looked at her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and quickly shook his head: "Longtang can't be considered black, Tao"

"What's that?" Zheng Qimei sneered: "That evildoer has a gun. He kills if he wants to kill, or breaks the law if he wants to break the law. Isn't it black or white?"

"This is difficult to explain." Tang Yanan shook his head and didn't know how to say: "Longtang was born in the United States. Since the beginning of the last century, Chinese people have been in exile continuously. At that time, China was displaced and life was hard to preserve. There are many people. Longtang was founded at that time."

The ancestors of the Xuanyuan family created the Dragon Hall to maintain the safety of the people. Of course, a certain protection fee is also charged. That was the original Dragon Hall. Later, Longtang began to intervene in arms trading.

During World War II, the Xuanyuan family's ancestors made a fortune from this. What happened after that was a matter of course. Longtang became an asylum for Chinese in the United States. Also profit from it.

Later, the business started to expand from arms and began to contact other businesses. Slowly getting bigger and bigger, until today. Longtang has its own assassin hall, intelligence hall, arms trading, and underground black market. As for other casinos, playgrounds, and nightclubs, I don’t know much.

And Longtang’s successors have also begun to be more powerful from generation to generation. Xuanyuanzhen's father was such a person.

His ambition is very big, he took over the country inherited by his father, and he wanted to expand, and he began to extend his tentacles outside the United States.

North America, South America, Europe, and then Asia.

"That can't cover up the fact that the evildoer is not a good person." Zheng Qimei didn't want to hear Tang Yanan explain so much: "You are not just making excuses for your sins."

Tang Yanan was silent, looking at his hands, which were indeed stained with blood, whether he wanted it or not: "I entered the Dragon Hall at the age of eighteen."

It has been more than ten years now, watching Xuanyuanzhen grow from a child to the present. The personality is getting weird and unpredictable. It also made him less and less understanding.

"Some things, I don't know how to tell you. Zheng Qimei, you should go, this is not where you stay."

"..." Zheng Qimei was silent, looking at the sincerity on Tang Ya'an's face, she didn't know why, she suddenly wanted to believe that what he said at this time was sincere, and he really wanted to leave this place. .

"Okay. I'll leave when you get better."

Tang Yanan was startled, an accident flashed across his face, and soon recovered calm: "You don't need this. I don't need you to stay."

"I want to stay." Zheng Qimei's attitude is very firm: "I am not that kind of soft persimmon, you come and go as you call it. What do you think I am?"

Tang Yanan looked at the stubbornness on her face with a hint of helplessness. After thinking about it, he nodded: "One week. My injury will be fine at most one week. Then you will leave."

Zheng Qimei bit her lip vigorously, and nodded hard: "Okay, one week, one week after you hurt me, I will leave."

Tang Ya's eyebrows stretched slightly, but there was still a feeling of anxiety in his heart. Looking at Zheng Qimei’s face, is there only one week left for the two to get along?

Should he find her annoying? Still think this time is too short?

Tang Yanan has no answer. Did not continue to think about it, for a week in short. In another week, everything will return to normal, just like before.

Zuo Panqing has successively received interview responses from another company. The time is about next week.

Not sure whether the first job could pass the interview smoothly, she agreed to everything. Two to one. One of the two companies is suitable for her, right?

A week later, she passed an interview with two companies, the first said that she could let her go to work after the Chinese New Year. The other asked to start working now.

Forget the time. Chinese New Year will be in less than half a month. Zuo Panqing decided to make it easy for herself to spend a year and go to work after the Lunar New Year.

Decisively chose the first one. Even the work is done. In order to make her future work smoothly, she began to pay attention to the company where she was going to work.

This company was founded by an overseas Chinese and specializes in diamond import and export, wholesale and chain operations. There are thousands of stores across the country. A fairly complete industrial chain has been formed.

The company has five factories and six subsidiaries. Beijing is one of them, with its head office in Hong Kong. According to the company's articles of association. Outstanding talents with outstanding performance have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong to work for the Hong Kong head office.

Zuo Panqing feels very happy to work for such a company. The scale of this company is bigger than any other jewelry company in C city.

This made her feel one step closer to her dream of becoming a top designer.

Get ready to go to work, call Wen Xuefeng in C city to send some of his previous clothes. At that time, I came in a hurry and didn't bring a lot of luggage. Before leaving, I gave Wen Xuefeng the key so that she could go and see when she was okay.

Within two days, Wen Xuefeng sent all the things she wanted. Including the notes she made before, her laptop, and even the manuscripts she kept in the study, she packed them up in letters and sent them.

Followed by, there are two big bags full of c city specialties and snacks that she likes to eat.

Seeing the stuff piled up in the room, Zuo Panqing was deeply moved. Only mother is good in the world, which is really good.

After tidying up his own things a little bit, the half-empty closet was immediately full. He made a grimace at the full-length mirror. I wonder if Gu Xuewen came back and saw this. Would he be shocked?

Seriously, this time he has been away for more than ten days. Isn't it the New Year? Are the troops so busy? Speaking of being depressed, she still doesn't even know which unit Gu Xuewen is in. I don't know where he went.

"When he comes back this time, I must ask him." You can't talk about confidential things, can you talk about ordinary things?

"Ask me what?" A slightly playful voice sounded, expressing a bit of joy.

"Ask where you are--" Zuo Panqing answered halfway, then reacted with hindsight, turned around quickly, leaned against the door and smiled at her. It wasn't Gu Xuewen, but which one?
