The carriage was very quiet, and it was a bit too quiet. Xia Yan hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, raised his eyes slightly to look at Lu Zhengting, who had been acting as if nothing had happened, and said casually, "Xia Minghui knew about my apartment being stolen and was very worried. My safety."

"kindness?"

"He wanted me to come back and live at home."

"Then what did you say?"

"Didn't you hear what I said? I said I was staying at a friend's house." Xia Yan said lightly, keeping her eyes on Lu Zhengting's expression, as if there was nothing wrong, she frowned tightly, He tilted his head and moved his gaze to the scenery outside the window.

The night scene of Jiangcheng is flickering with neon lights, bright lights illuminate the night, the clear crescent moon in the sky seems to hang leisurely, and the stars around it sometimes twinkle and sometimes dim, and the street trees on both sides of the driveway follow the arrival of autumn , the originally lush leaves on the branches gradually turn yellow and cannot stand the wind, as if they will fall with a light touch.

The speed of the car is not fast, Xia Yan has enough time to look at the scenery outside the car, this road will just pass through the commercial center, among those bustling crowds, seeing the smiles on their faces, Xia Yan seems to be relieved from his heavy heart Just now, she suddenly discovered that she actually didn't know anything about Lu Zhengting. She knew that he was investigating an incident more than ten years ago, but she didn't know what it was and why it was related to the death of her biological father. She didn't know if Lu Zhengting had his own plans now or if he had already made plans for the next step, so she rubbed her temples with some headaches.

Lu Zhengting glanced at Xia Yan, and said lightly, "Xia Yan, trust me."

Hearing this, Xia Yan frowned, caught a glimpse of Xiaohan's suspicious eyes looking over from the corner of her eye, and stopped the topic without nodding or shaking her head.

Back at Dongshan Villa, Mama Chen knew the time of their return early on, so she prepared the ingredients in advance, and they could start the meal as soon as they walked in.

Xiaohan had a lot of fun during the day, jumping up and down like a monkey, but now he is weak. After dinner, Xia Yan told him a fairy tale as usual, and Xiaohan always complained about it.

After Xiaohan fell asleep, Xia Yan felt a little sore and backache, and left Xiaohan's bedroom while rubbing his waist.She went back to the bedroom and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go to Lu Zhengting.She knew that Lu Zhengting had gone to the study room after dinner, so she went straight to the door of the study room, looked down at the faint light leaking from the crack of the door, her hand was stretched out in mid-air, she didn't know what to think of, and suddenly withdrew it hand...

Lu Zhengting stood by the window, and the study was silent. He turned around and looked at the wobbling figure in the crack of the door. He frowned slightly, and a deep voice broke the silence in the study, "Come in."

Hearing this, Xia Yan was just about to leave when she stepped forward and froze in place for an instant. She turned her back to the door, but heard a voice coming from inside clearly. After a pause, she suddenly turned around and held the door handle with one hand. Lu Zhengting, what should she say?
……

Xia Yan unscrewed the doorknob, and what came into view was Lu Zhengting's figure with his hands behind his back. There was only one desk lamp lit in the study room. The desk lamp glowed with a warm orange light, and the range of light it could illuminate was only around it. Lu Zhengting stood in front of the window, the dark curtains became his foil, and the pitch-black night wrapped him in it. At this moment, he seemed to be hiding in the darkness, but that cold breath could not conceal his existence.

Xia Yan blinked her eyes, stared at Lu Zhengting's back, suddenly felt unable to speak, she moved small steps and slowly approached the shadow in the dark night, she stopped not far away, and moved He pursed his mouth and refused to make a sound for a long time.

Lu Zhengting stared expressionlessly at the night outside. The Dongshan Villa was surrounded by mountains and rivers. From a distance, the thick clouds seemed to be being washed away by the gently blowing wind. The moon above the clouds was emitting a quiet light, with a little In the cold, the top of the mountain is loomingly reflected.

The study room was so quiet that the air seemed to have stopped. Lu Zhengting narrowed his eyes slightly and closed his eyes to Xia Yan behind him. The deep voice sounded again slowly, "What do you want to ask?"

"..." Xia Yan pursed his lips, stared at Lu Zhengting suspiciously, and said lightly, "Will you tell me no matter what I ask?"

Lu Zhengting frowned, "What do you want to know?"

"You would want me to know something, so wouldn't I know something?"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Yan changed the topic, "I want to know what happened more than ten years ago, and I also want to know whether Xia Minghui has anything to do with my father's death?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhengting pondered for a few seconds, "The current result points to Xia Minghui, but there is no conclusive evidence."

"anything else?"

"You don't need to know about other things, you just need to believe that I won't hurt you."

"You want me to believe in you unconditionally, I promise, but I hope that my belief will not make me regret it."

Lu Zhengting didn't say a word, Xia Yan sank, and she suddenly said, "Lu Zhengting, do you love me?"

Before he could speak, Xia Yan quickly added, "You don't need to answer me, because I feel that you should love me, but sometimes I feel that you don't love me very much, do you feel conflicted? I am the same I think, Lu Zhengting, you may be used to being alone in your world, but I hope you can get used to the world of two people. I don’t know if this sentence will make you think I’m greedy? But I still want to tell you , I can believe unconditionally, and you, can you be like me, don't shut me out."

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, she took a deep breath and clenched her hands on both sides secretly. She hated the feeling of being rejected by him.

The bar is a complex and noisy world. It not only watches the loneliness of the people at night, but also contains all their joy and passion. The dim and mottled light cross illuminates the scene in the bar from time to time. It shows fatigue, but at the same time it shows passion and excitement.

However, the person sitting on the edge of the bar stands out among the crowd who are looking for happiness. The colorful lights shine in his blurred eyes. He was still holding the unfinished wine bottle in his hand. Under the light, his original handsome face not only looked haggard, but even unshaven, with a sense of world-weariness and vicissitudes.

Lin Xujia can't remember how many times she came to the bar to find people. Every time she came to the bar and saw Ye Yunchen's appearance, she couldn't suppress the anger and inexplicable sadness in her heart. She shuttled through the crowd, and whenever she passed by As long as there are men in the place, they will attract their attention and tease. Lin Xujia is disgusted, but she has to come here to find Ye Yunchen.

Standing in front of Ye Yunchen, she looked down at the man who squinted at her. At this moment, she wished to slap him on the face, and the raised hand fell down in an instant. Her affectionate eyes were tightly locked on Ye Yunchen's body. Can't help but sigh.

"Hey, who are you? You, hiccup...why are you here?" Ye Yunchen raised his head suddenly, shook his head and stared at Lin Xujia and said quietly.

The air was not only mixed with the decadent smell of the bar, but also mixed with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. She frowned tightly, stared at Ye Yunchen intently, and left the bar with him on her shoulder.

Outside the bar, the cool breeze was blowing, with a slight chill, Lin Xujia couldn't help closing up her coat, her car was parked by the side of the road, and it was only a few steps away.

The weight of Ye Yunchen's whole body was on Lin Xujia's body. She dragged Ye Yunchen into the car with great difficulty, and she was relieved when she suddenly heard him whisper, "Cold, cold..."

Hearing this, Lin Xujia directly took off the jacket she was wearing and put it on him, rubbed her arms with her hands, closed the car door and quickly ran to the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove towards Ye Yunchen's residence.

After sending Ye Yunchen home, Lin Xujia was doing what she would do repeatedly in the past few nights. When she went to the kitchen to make sober tea, she heard a bang from the living room, and hurriedly put it in a cup and came to the living room. Ye Yunchen was put by her. The one who was on the sofa is now lying on the ground. She walked over anxiously and put him back on the sofa to lie down with all her strength. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and panted. angry.

"Xia Yan..."

"Xia Yan..."

Hearing that the name Ye Yunchen called out was Xia Yan, Lin Xujia's face changed drastically. She took a step back and looked at the drunk unconscious man lying on the sofa in disbelief. She kicked the things around her. At this moment, she looked like a ferocious female ghost with loose hair, and her expression was terrifying. She turned the despair and sadness Ye Yunchen brought her into anger, which was anger towards Xia Yan.

Suddenly, she lay powerlessly on the edge of the sofa and sobbed, but Ye Yunchen was still unconscious and unable to comfort her, maybe even if he was awake at this time, he might not be able to comfort her.Lin Xujia stared at Ye Yunchen with tears streaming down his face, grabbed his hand tightly with both hands, and suddenly shouted hysterically, "Ye Yunchen, it was me when you were most sad, and I, Lin Xujia, was by your side. When the people in the house swept out the gate, it was me! I was the one who brought you back. You lost your job because of Xia Yan, and it was me who stayed by your side no matter what. But, why? Why do you always see How good is mine? What is so good about Xia Yan that I can't even compare to her..."

Lin Xujia's crying did not attract Ye Yunchen's attention, she seemed to be singing a one-man show in the air.She hated Xia Yan, even for a moment, she even had a trace of hatred for Ye Yunchen.The cell phone rang in the bag. Lin Xujia cried and picked up the cell phone. When she saw the caller ID, her expression changed slightly.She took a deep breath, wiped away the tears on her face, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Father."

"You still see my father in your eyes? Where are you now, get out of here immediately!"

"Father, I..."

"You have to remember the meaning of your existence in this family."
