Chapter 1210 I am not Mr. Jian
I almost admitted my mistake.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, revealing half of a face inside.
As soon as she saw that half face, Nan Yan froze.
She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, even more afraid to believe her own eyes. She stared blankly at the half face exposed under the curtains for a long time before she said in a hoarse voice -
"simple……"
But she only said this one word and couldn't say anything else. Her voice was completely hoarse.
Because the person in the carriage was none other than Jian Ruocheng!
Jian Ruocheng!
Everyone is looking for him, everyone wants to see him, and now, he appears in front of them!
Nan Yan almost thought she was in a dream.
Ran Xiaoyu also saw it.
Her eyesight was better than Nan Yan's, but she saw it clearly later than her. But once she saw it clearly, she was so surprised that she was speechless.
Just like that, the two of them stood at the street corner, stunned and completely unable to react.
At this moment, the coachman seemed to have heard something and nodded towards the carriage. The curtain was lowered and the coachman came over and said to Nan Yan, "Master, please come into the carriage and have a chat."
“…”
He wants to see himself.
Nan Yan's heart was filled with uncontrollable emotions, and she nodded immediately. However, Ran Xiaoyu beside her frowned and said, "My Lady..."
Nan Yan turned around and looked at her.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "I want to protect you."
After hearing her words, Nan Yan came to her senses. The other party only invited her to come over to reminisce about the past.
but--
Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and saw their carriage approaching. So she said to Ran Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, get in and just follow this carriage."
"But--"
Ran Xiaoyu was a little hesitant.
Nan Yan said: "I dare not say anything else, but I believe that he will not hurt me."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu couldn't refute this statement.
She might doubt anyone, but she still believed in Jian Ruocheng's character and his kindness to Nan Yan.
Then, she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if there is anything wrong, please call me immediately. I will ask the driver to follow closely."
Nan Yan responded to her, then turned around and followed the coachman towards their carriage.
She was about to get on the carriage, but, perhaps because the carriage was too high or because she was too excited, her hands and feet became weak, her feet slipped, and she almost fell.
Just then, a hand stretched out from the curtain and grabbed her wrist.
“……!”
Nan Yan was startled.
But the hand did not let her go. With a force, it pulled her directly onto the carriage and into the compartment.
It was a little dark inside the car.
After all, the curtains around were all drawn, so the sunlight couldn't directly shine into the carriage, but Nan Yan could still see the person in front of her clearly at a glance -
He has changed a lot.
His cheeks were so thin that they had lost their shape, his cheekbones were high and protruding, the veins on his forehead were almost visible, and the angularity of his jaw was also revealed. He was no longer the handsome, gentle, and bright man he had been when he first met her.
Just one look and Nan Yan's eyes felt hot.
She sat in front of him, looking at him in his long blue cloth gown. Although he was still handsome and couldn't hide his natural temperament, she immediately understood the heaviness of his heart.
Nan Yan's voice was choked with sobs.
"Second Young Master..."
The other person slowly raised his head and glanced at her.
After a long silence, he released the hand that was holding her wrist. His hand had become much thinner, and the joints were protruding.
He locked his hands back into his sleeves and said, "My Lady, please don't call me that."
“…”
"The Jian family no longer exists. I am no longer the Second Young Master Jian."
“…”
These words were like a knife, piercing straight into Nan Yan's heart.
She looked at him, feeling her heart in turmoil and having so many words to say, but at this moment, tears fell first.
It dripped onto the car.
She said, "Second Young Master..."
The voice was already filled with tears.
She simply couldn't imagine what Jian Ruocheng had been through these days, but just one look at him made her seem to understand everything. She also hated herself for not finding the murderer for the Jian family and clearing his name.
These tears were not shed for him, but for my own guilt.
Jian Ruocheng looked at her quietly. After a long time, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve with his skinny hand and put it in front of her, but hesitated for a moment and handed it to her.
"Stop crying."
Nan Yan took the handkerchief, but did not wipe her tears. Instead, she looked up at him and said with a sob, "Sir, what happened? What is going on?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
“…”
"After we separated at sea, I fell ill."
"sick?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
She vaguely recalled the terrible night at sea, which was a nightmare she had not dared to touch for so long. The moment the sawdust cut her throat, one of her feet had already stepped into the underworld.
Now, the wound on her throat is no longer visible, and she has regained the ability to speak, but the wound in her heart cannot be healed.
But Jian Ruocheng said that he was also sick?
At that time, he should have boarded the boat he had prepared and should have been safe and sound. How could he have fallen ill?
Nan Yan looked at him.
And Jian Ruocheng didn't seem to want to say anything more.
That night was also a nightmare for him.
Although he did not see with his own eyes the scene of her throat being cut, being swallowed by the sea, and disappearing in the surging waves, he fainted when others told him about it.
Afterwards, I fell seriously ill.
For a whole month, he was almost on the verge of death. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility he still shouldered, and if he hadn't forced himself to get better and complete the last thing, perhaps he would have collapsed.
She would never know that she had escaped death.
However, it was precisely because of that month of serious illness that he was completely unable to move and was even unable to return to Peiping immediately.
But when he finally recovered and returned to Peking, he found out that—
When Nan Yan saw Jian Ruocheng's face suddenly turn pale, she knew that he must be thinking about the Jian family.
She said anxiously: "Sir, what exactly happened to the Jian family? Do you know the truth?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng quieted down.
His face was so pale at this moment, as if it were frozen with frost.
Even his usually warm eyes were frozen as he looked up at her with a cold gaze.
He said word by word: "The truth? Don't you know it yet?"
