“Me?” Zige gave him a surprised look, his eyes were serious, as if he was really waiting for that answer. She smiled a little, “I have the same choice as her. If it’s truly the one you love, how can you bear to hurt? If the beloved is gone, there’s no point in the mermaid princess living her life alone. Isn’t it?”
“But he was indirectly responsible for her death.”
“I don’t think the mermaid princess would have been able to resist killing him even if she had killed her outright” she paused and looked at him with downcast eyes, “as would I.”
The seriousness in the bottom of her eyes made Lan Yu Feng tremble, and his hand holding her tightened slightly. This kind of woman, so stupid …
“Lan Yu Feng, what if it was you?” She asked him instead, “What would you do if you were a mermaid princess?”
He gave her a look, “That assumption could never hold I would never be the one to give first; and if on the off chance that I did someday, I would never let the one I love belong to another.”
Zi Ge froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly, “Yes, you are Lan Yu Feng, and will never let yourself be vulnerable.”
“Leg, better?” She changed the subject.
“Uh-huh.”
“Then I’ll press you again, it might be much better.”
Lan Yu Feng leaned on her shoulder, greedily sniffing her hair. Zi Ge glanced down at him and still couldn’t help but speak, “Do you plan on staying like this?”
“Hmm?” Her thoughtless words made him move his lips.
“Your leg …” She knew he would be upset if she said this, but she couldn’t help but see him in such pain.
Sure enough …
He stiffened slightly for an instant. When he opened his lips, he bit on her neck. He didn’t actually exert himself, so Zige continued on, “You don’t have to keep torturing yourself like this. A brave person is not one who lets the pain stay there and lives a negative life. A brave person is one who can bury the past and greet each new day in the best condition.”
“Meng Zige, you’re really long-winded …” He seemed a little impatient.
But, such a reaction was enough to make Zige feel surprised. After all, in the past, which time was he not either cold or furious?
“I’m concerned about you!” Zige straightened up as well.
“Got it.” He narrowed his eyes.
“So do you want … well … or not?”
Before the words could be spoken, Lan Yu Feng suddenly hugged the back of her head and blocked her lips with a heavy kiss. She froze, where could she say anything extra.
It was a long time before he slowly released her.
“That’s where this topic stops.”
Ziggy gave him a look, “It seems that you’re actually in good shape.”
“Not bad now.” His finger, nodded on her lips, the temperature ambiguous to the point of surprise. Lan Yu Feng’s expression gradually became bright as well, obviously, the pain from just now had eased a lot.
Only then did Zi Ge finally breathe a sigh of relief, and brought the water for soaking his feet to pour it out. And hurriedly brought ginger soup out from the kitchen and handed it to him, “Drink this first, to remove the cold.”
Lan Yu Feng obediently drank it. The flavor wasn’t very good and it was pungent, however, he inexplicably tasted a bit of sweetness when he drank it.
“Want to go to bed? It’s getting late.” Ziggy asked him.
“Uh-huh.” He nodded and compared his cane, which Ziggy took over and handed to him. He put his arm around her and headed for the bedroom.
“Little Bean is asking again. When exactly are we going back?” Actually, having been out for a few days, she missed the little thing.
“After tomorrow. The airfare is already booked.” He replied.
“Yes?” Zi Ge’s eyes brightened slightly, spreading her smile. In the next instant, remembering something, her eyes added a few more dark colors. These past few days alone with him, although occasionally the two would get cold feet, however, it was more cozy.
Undeniably … she fell in love with the feeling …
I wonder, when they go back, what will become between them.
“Wasn’t it you who always wanted to go back? Why do you seem sullen now?” Not ignoring her reaction, Lan Yu Feng gave her a sideways glance.
She snapped back then, shaking her head, “Where’s the moping? It’s good to be back, and I miss Little Bean, and my parents.”
Speaking of which, this time when she went back, she should immediately go to the construction site to look for her father.
“There’s one more thing I want to talk to you about.” The two went back to the room, and he had taken the lead in lying down, so Ziggy half-kneeled beside him to talk to him.
Lan Yu Feng lazily looked at her and didn’t reply, just waited quietly for her to continue.
“I was expelled from the hospital, and you did it.” Speaking of this, Zi Ge still had a belly full of grievances. It was so hard to get into the hospital, but he stirred things up and said he was expelled.
Lan Yu Feng raised his eyebrows, “You want to go back to work?”
“Uh-huh.” She nodded.
Lan Yu Feng reached out and pulled her into his arms, wrapping her in the quilt. Turning slightly to the side, he closed his eyes and pressed his right leg against her, and only after a long time did he faintly speak, “I’ll talk to Su Chen.”
Ziggy found herself falling in love with days like this in Moscow. But today is the last day to stay here.
Getting up early in the morning and preparing breakfast for him. Seeing him eat with gusto, Zi Ge became enamored with such mornings. If Little Douzi and his mother were both there, it would be one of the best mornings ever.
After breakfast, standing in front of the fireplace, Zige thought on her toes to tie his bow tie. Each other’s look, in the light of the burning fire, the same softness. Between each other, there is something that has been quietly changing.
“When we get back this time, I want to take the kids to see my mom.” She said suddenly, raising her face to look him in the eye, as if asking for his opinion.
“Are you sure?” Lan Yu Feng lowered his eyes to meet hers, “Your mother can afford to have a child come out of nowhere?”
“I’ll explain it to her properly.” Ziggy thought for a moment, “Now that my mom is all alone, she’d be happy to know there’s a little grandchild.”
“It’s fine if you decide.” Lan Yu Feng was generous.
Zige smiled gently away, “Then it’s settled.”
Lan Yu Feng was busy for another whole day. When he returned to the villa, Yan Nan also returned with him. The three of them had a different kind of dinner, and while Zige was cleaning up, Lan Yu Feng came in and made a cup of hot tea, “Yan Nan and I will be busy a little late tonight, so you should rest early.”
“Shall I prepare you a midnight snack?”
Lan Yu Feng shook his head, “No need. There’s an early morning flight tomorrow, so go to bed early.”
After the explanation, Lan Yu Feng turned around and went out of the kitchen. Looking at that back, and then looking at the whole house, thinking that he would be leaving tomorrow, Zi Ge’s heart was still more or less reluctant.
Inside the study.
As he was finalizing the last procedure with Yan Nan, the night, gradually deepened, and goose feather snow began to fall outside the window again.
When he was done with work, Lan Yu Feng took a shallow sip of wine, picked the curtain to look out the window, and asked, “Did Geng Jing get the stuff?”
“Not yet.” Yan Nan shook his head, “Moreover, even Meng Yuhui’s people cannot be found until now.”
“The Blue Sect’s people don’t have any information either?” Lan Yu Feng couldn’t help but lock his brows.
“Hmm.” Yan Nan’s face was heavy.
The color of Lan Yu Feng’s eyes deepened a few points, comparable to the night color outside the window.
“If I’m not wrong, maybe … Meng Yuhui, something has happened.”
Yan Nan paused for a moment and continued, “The one who brutally killed Meng Yuhui would not be someone else, it must have been Zhuo Zhenbang who laid down the cruel hand. The two brothers who were born to die back then are now killing each other as well.”
When Zhuo Zhenbang started his own business, Meng Yuhui was his right-hand man. Meng Yuhui was young, but he was calm and steady, and won Zhuo Zhenbang’s heart. When the two sneaked into the Qi Group, used all means to cheat the trust of the Qi night xiao, teamed up to defeat the Qi night xiao, but also to make the Qi from then on the collapse of the Qi family, Qi’s large family was driven to extinction.
The only remaining infant son has not been seen since.
Thinking of all the things that happened in the past, Lan Yu Feng couldn’t help but squeeze the wine glass in his hand tightly, and was speechless for a long time, but in his mind, he couldn’t help but flash back to the appearance of Zi Ge’s hurt and cut. Heart tightened, he pursed his lips, coldly explained: “Let the blue door people continue to look for! Live to see people, die to see the body!”
“Yes, sir.”
When everything was finished, Yan Nan left first. Lan Yu Feng threw himself in the swivel chair and pondered for a long time If Meng Yuhui is dead, the next thing to deal with is left Zhuo Zhenbang …
Meng Zige …
How would she feel if she knew he was so intent on dealing with her adoptive and biological fathers?
When I came out of the study, I thought she must have gone to bed, but the light was surprisingly still on in the hall.
Walking over to look, I saw that she was curled up on a beige blanket in front of the fireplace. Her slightly slim body was covered in a robe, with her snow-white legs exposed outside of it, and it seemed to be a little chilly as she scrunched her feet, revealing her jade-like toes.
That unintentional look, but there was a kind of indescribable allure. Eyes slightly tightened, Lan Yu Feng propped up his cane and turned around to go back to his room. But from the room, he took a thick quilt out.
After tucking her in, he didn’t go back to his room either, he just lifted the quilt and followed right beside her to lie down. Seemingly sensing his presence, she hummed lazily and turned around, throwing herself fondly into his arms.
Looking at her pouty appearance, Lan Yu Feng couldn’t help but caress her clear face and plant a shallow kiss on her lips.
Zige was a light sleeper, and his intrusion caused her to slowly open her eyes. When she saw him, she smiled in a daze and wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering, “Going back to sleep in your room?” .
“No need to move, just sleep.” He rested his arm behind her head.
She greedily came up for air in his arms, lazily talking to him, “I thought you recognized the bed? Can you fall asleep on the floor?”
If she hadn’t reminded him, he would have forgotten. In the past, every business trip had been a torture for him, and he couldn’t sleep well almost every night because he recognized his bed. However, these days here, it was completely different.
He, uh, doesn’t recognize the bed. Maybe, start recognizing people?
“Try and maybe fall asleep.” At least, right now, he felt especially at peace inside.
One night, until dawn.
When Zige woke up, Lan Yu Feng was still asleep. Turning sideways, seeing his calm sleeping face, Zi Ge couldn’t help but smile. After one night, he had a light stubble on his lower jaw, not as fresh as before, but, it looked especially charming.
Mischievous, she picked her lips, and with her hands, she went to pluck his slightly longer beard. Lan Yu Feng seemed to wake up, his brows wrinkled. Zi Ge jumped in surprise and hurriedly tried to draw back her hand, but he clasped her wrist, “What’s the commotion?”
“Does it hurt?” Ziggy asked, lying on his chest.
He opened his eyes lazily and let out a “hmmm” through his nose.
“My favorite part is pulling out the beard.” She laughs.
Lan Yu Feng’s face was unchanged, but there was darkness caught in the bottom of his eyes, “Pulled it for Ke Heng Jun?”
Ziggy froze. And then, all at once, he laughed.
Tilting her head, she looked at him, “I notice you seem particularly keen to mention him.”
