Chapter 40
Chapter 40
Ji Wu in the room could clearly hear the movement in the study next door, so An Ningyu couldn't escape Ji Wu's eyes when she left in night clothes.She had never seen An Ningyu go out so late in person before, so she couldn't help worrying, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so she got up and sat on the steps in front of the door and waited anxiously. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I don't see her come back safely tonight.
The wind was very strong tonight, and several times almost blew out the lights on the candlesticks in the room.Dressed in single clothes, Ji Wu kept shivering due to the cold, but refused to add more clothes for fear that she would fall asleep while waiting. No matter how much the maid tried to dissuade her, she refused to listen, and still sat on the cold stone steps and waited silently.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and I didn't know how long I had been waiting, I only knew that the sky was about to dawn.He vaguely heard movement outside the gate, and the night covered his eyes, but it couldn't make Ji Wu forget that person's familiar and light footsteps.Overjoyed, Ji Wu stood up and rushed over to hug the person who had just walked into the courtyard. The faint fragrance from her body comforted Ji Wu's heart that had been hanging.
An Ningyu who was hugged by the sudden Ji Wu didn't reject her, her heart felt as warm as if she was wrapped, and it felt comfortable to be cared about by others, unlike before when she was always alone.
And An Ningyu couldn't bear to push away Ji Wu like this. In the past, she was worried that her identity would be discovered several times and would push people away. At that time, the sadness in Ji Wu's eyes hurt An Ningyu's heart. I don't know when to start her My heart was slowly melting, and I began to care about the feelings of others.
Maybe the road was too bumpy, which made An Ningyu feel tired, so he dragged Ji Wu back to his room.After returning to the mansion, he hurriedly asked the servants to do a simple bandage for the wound, and changed into a brand new coat before leaving the hospital. He was worried that Ji Wu would bump into him, but he didn't expect that guy to be so stupid on a cold day. Sitting on the stone steps and waiting for her to come back, it is fake not to be moved.
No matter how thoughtful An Ningyu was, there was no way to cover up the scratch on his face.When Ji Wu saw it, she exclaimed, "Why are there bandages on Ning Yu's face and your hands? Are you injured, is it serious?" Seeing the injured An Ning Yu made Ji Wu fearful and heartbroken. I am very afraid of seeing scars, especially when the injured person is a loved one.
Looking at Ji Wu, who seemed to be terrified and nervous, and almost crying, An Ningyu almost couldn't help laughing. She tapped her forehead and said, "Fool, this is a small injury." That's all, I'm fine."
"You're still laughing." Seeing An Ningyu's indifferent expression, Ji Wu held back tears and said, choking up, "Don't you know that people will worry about you? Why do you want to hurt yourself?"
"Don't cry, don't cry." An Ningyu, who hates others crying the most, quickly took out a handkerchief and explained, "The wound on my face was scratched by a tree branch, and as for my hand, I didn't ride a horse for too long and the reins were worn out. It's all because I'm too thin This is only the case when the skin is tender and the flesh is so small, it doesn’t matter.”
Of course, An Ningyu didn't tell Ji Wu the whole truth. The wound on her hand was cut by a sharp blade in Ji Yu's tent just now, and the wound was far more serious than a worn skin.And it was none other than Ji Wu's brother, the ambitious little prince Ji Yu, who made her so embarrassed.It was only Ji Wu who managed to slowly recover from that disaster, and An Ningyu deliberately lied because she didn't want other things to put pressure on her.
"Sit over here and let me have a look." So Ji Wu pulled An Ning Yu and sat down on the chair next to the candlestick. Dao injury, the mark extends from the cheek to the corner of the eye, there is a full finger long and it does not cut the skin, it is just a blood red mark, "Fortunately, it didn't hurt the eye, what if it hurts?"
Only then did Ji Wu realize that the distance between their faces was quite close, their eyes met and they fell into silence. Occasionally, the tip of their noses would touch each other, and even the breathing of the other was so clear.At that moment, Ji Wu only felt her mouth was dry and her breathing gradually became rapid. She stared intently at An Ningyu's eyes as deep as the ocean, which made her feel like she was falling into it and couldn't extricate herself.
The surrounding air seemed to be condensed, and even time stopped. The whole room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and An Ningyu leaned over and slowly moved her body, bringing her face closer to Ji Wu and gently kissing her warm lips. Lips, it feels amazing and addictive.When the lips of each other were pressed together, the passive Ji Wu couldn't help trembling a bit, but An Ningyu's lips were delicate and soft, without a hint of masculine roughness, but very gentle.
Immediately afterwards, An Ningyu closed her eyes, gently sucked Ji Wu's lower lip, and wanted to further tighten the distance between them.Suddenly Ji Wu's mind flashed the horrible picture of being raped in the past, and suddenly pushed An Ningyu away from her.Looking at An Ningyu, who fell with his chair on all fours, he was terrified but unable to go forward to help him.
At that time, Ji Wu was not the only one who felt panic, An Ningyu quickly got up from the ground, rushed out without saying a word and ran all the way.After running for a long time, I finally reached the end. On the closed gate, there is a plaque of "Liyuan Pavilion" hanging on the other courtyard.An Ningyu pushed open the door and walked in, lying powerlessly on the lawn curled up.
In contrast, Nalan Mansion was as quiet as before. Last night, Mo Ni also stayed up all night. After covering An Jinyan who was sleeping soundly on the bed, he sat quietly under the lamp and continued to finish the embroidery in his hands. Moving her hands, her delicate stitches made the pear blossoms blooming on the blank pink handkerchief come alive.
Yesterday, Ye Fei brought news about Dong Mingsheng, and that was the first time they heard about him from someone else after the two of them separated in Anfu Dungeon.I used to think that the two would never meet again in this life, and even if they met, they would only be like strangers.
When I lost Dong Mingsheng at the beginning, I thought it would be painful, but in fact it was not as painful as I imagined. It may be because Mo Ni's heart died before the separation.She didn't hate Dong Mingsheng for following An Ningyu's orders and pouring the so-called poisoned wine into her mouth in order to survive, and it didn't mean that she could accept him again now.
For a moment, the sharp embroidery needle pricked his finger, even though he quickly sucked the bleeding wound, there was still a drop of blood imprinted on the snow-white pear blossom petals, which was particularly eye-catching.Even if the handkerchief is washed immediately, it may leave traces. Even if it is clear and clean, it does not mean that this incident has never happened. For the same reason, the past of Mo Ni and Dong Mingsheng has become a memory.
With the help of Ye Fei, Nalan Meng, An Jinyan and Mo Ni set off early in the morning, and accompanied by many guards, went to the Daming Temple in Yangzhou City, which is full of incense. In fact, it was to arrange for Mo Ni to meet Dong Mingsheng.
When everyone was worshiping in the lobby, Mo Ni came to the meditation room at the back of the temple, and the guards were left outside the door to watch.
It was going to be winter and the weather was cold and cold. When going out, Mo Ni wore a relatively wide and plain cloak to cover her bulging stomach.Dong Mingsheng in the wheelchair did not notice that Mo Ni was pregnant, "Ni Er, you are here."
Dong Mingsheng, who used to be handsome in the past, now looks skinny and ugly like a mummy. His eyes are deeply sunken on his weather-beaten face, as if he has been aged for more than ten years and is very haggard.Hatred not only corrupted his soul, but also corrupted his life, his health, and his youth. It was greedy and sadistic, trying to suck people dry.Know the dangers of it, but some people just can't stop it.Just like Dong Mingsheng, it is better to let him die than to let him give up his hatred.
"Do you know how much effort I have put in to see you again? But it's all worth it. The most important thing is to let that bastard An Ningyu live in dire straits." The complacent Dong Mingsheng did not forget to show his achievements.If you listen carefully, you will find that Dong Mingsheng's focus is not on Mo Ni, but on An Ningyu. Everything he does is for revenge.
"It turns out that you are the one who has been hiding behind the scenes." To be honest, Mo Ni didn't care who had trouble with An Ningyu.But he was too familiar with Dong Mingsheng, how much he had to hate An Ningyu could prompt Dong Mingsheng to take revenge at all costs.
"That's right, it's me. At that time, I can let you watch her suffer a terrible death. Are you looking forward to such an exciting and willful ending as much as I am?" Dong Mingsheng even smiled very ferociously, completely in harmony with ink. Ni used to know Dong Mingsheng, who was polite and polite.
"The grievance between you and her has nothing to do with me, and I have no interest." Compared with Dong Mingsheng's crazy revenge, Mo Ni seemed more calm.It's not that she sees through the world of mortals, but that she has experienced too many ups and downs to hone her mind.
When emotions become complicated and cannot be distinguished, Mo Ni usually chooses to escape.What she is facing now is Dong Mingsheng, who once loved her deeply but abandoned her at the critical moment of life and death, and the other is An Ningyu, who had a childhood sweetheart with her but personally ruined her happiness.When the two of them were entangled because of hatred, Mo Ni couldn't make any choice. Staying out of it was her best choice at present.And she was really exhausted physically and mentally, and she didn't want to get involved anymore.
"Why do you say that? You forgot that if it wasn't for An Ningyu, we might have been together already." Dong Mingsheng couldn't accept Mo Ni like this, and he was nervous with anger, "You should love her as much as I do. .”
"I think you have forgotten that it was you who pushed me away, not her. If I can not hate you, why should I hate her?"
"That's what she forced me to do. She is the culprit. You should hate her."
"You were the one who did it last, didn't you?" I thought everything was over, but I didn't expect that the scabbed scar would be torn apart again. Mo Ni recalled the scene when Dong Mingsheng poured the poison into her mouth , my heart was dripping blood and asked, "I promised you life and death in vain."
"I didn't have a choice at the time." Dong Mingsheng subconsciously tried to avoid the other party's gaze with a guilty conscience.
Mo Ni walked in front of him, his eyes were covered with mist and said, "You can, you have, and you have made a choice." This sentence means that Dong Mingsheng made a choice between life and her. Chose, and finally abandoned her in order to survive.Mo Ni knew that death was terrible, but she could not be afraid of death for Dong Mingsheng, and only wanted him to be like herself, but she never thought that Dong Mingsheng would not be able to do it.It turned out that everything was her wishful thinking, and they didn't love each other as much as they imagined.
Dong Mingsheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair with nowhere to escape, seemed to feel threatened. He became angry, "The result? The result is that you stand here unscathed today and blame me for not dying for you. And me? You have I didn’t think about it for me, what did I gain in the end, I was alive, my legs were useless and I couldn’t stand up again in this life, all of this is thanks to the An Ning language.”
"That's your choice, too."
"Bah, in the end it was my own fault. I shouldn't have disobeyed my father and chose to be with you, but I chose. I thought we would be together forever. I was wrong. But I love you, otherwise why did you come here? Today I will come to you again"
"You don't love me, you love yourself. You came to me because you couldn't accept that you sacrificed yourself to survive. Accept the reality. You are not as brave and upright as you imagined." Facing Dong Mingsheng Mo Ni was not sad but felt that he was very pitiful. He lost not only his legs but also kind thoughts. He lived in pain and resentment and blindly blamed everyone around him. "I have nothing to say to you. We still don’t want to see each other in the future, and there is no need.”
Seeing that Mo Ni turned to leave, Dong Mingsheng reached out his hand to hold the cloak on the other party in a hurry, and called out, "Don't go." Maybe the cloak was not fastened tightly, and it fell off and fell to the ground after being pulled by the other party. The stomach can no longer be hidden and revealed.
The author has something to say: Soon Ning Yu will face off against the little boss Dong Mingsheng
Don't think this is the end, remember that in the last chapter, Ye Fei and Dong Mingsheng talked about a person, a survivor of the robbery and murder in Antai that year, which will reveal a little-known secret of the An family.The difficulties faced by An Ningyu came one after another.
