Chapter 50 You Like Me
Feel the soft touch on your neck leave.
Jiang Zhi's body leaned forward.
The remaining warmth on the neck gradually dissipated.
He tensed his neck and swallowed hard.
As if trying to save something.
The fingers hanging at his sides nervously curled and unclenched.
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and stood up.
His eyes followed Mingzhu as she picked up the glass of milk.
He stood aside quietly.
Mingzhu took the last sip and gently put the cup down.
Jiang Zhi took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket.
Then he moved closer and held Mingzhu's chin first.
He deliberately used less force.
I was afraid that the calluses on my hands would hurt her.
It is only supported loosely by the warm palms.
Then he carefully wiped the milk stain from the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.
Mingzhu is not so pampered that she needs someone to help her wipe her mouth.
But she didn't refuse if Jiang Zhi wanted to do it.
Mingzhu let Jiang Zhi wipe her carefully.
Her gaze moved upwards to rest on his downcast brows.
Jiang Zhi's expression was focused to the point of being almost pious.
"You like me."
Mingzhu's voice was very soft.
This is not a question.
Jiang Zhi's changes are too obvious.
It's so obvious that there's no need to guess.
Those beautiful eyes were no longer dull and desolate.
Now only her outline is clearly reflected, and nothing else can be seen.
Silence filled the air.
Just when Mingzhu thought he wouldn't answer, Jiang Zhi spoke: "Yes, Miss."
Jiang Zhi did not hide his feelings.
It is perfectly normal to fall in love with Mingzhu.
In the past, he was indifferent to everything in this world.
Not caring about others nor about yourself.
He lives only to earn money for Jiang Li's monthly medical expenses.
Just getting by day by day.
Until the first time I met Mingzhu.
Even if Jiang Zhi is unwilling to admit it.
He also tasted the flavor of the seven emotions and six desires at that moment.
Love makes inferiority turn from darkness to light.
He knows who he is.
Don't dare to fantasize.
But Mingzhu indulged him too much.
Let him become greedy, intensify, and do whatever it takes.
At least.
He didn't want to be that rejected pink diamond, never to be remembered by her again.
Mingzhu looked at him for two seconds.
Neither rejection nor acceptance was shown.
He just looked away calmly and asked an irrelevant question.
"Did you take your medicine on time every day?"
Jiang Zhi folded the handkerchief carefully and put it back in his pocket.
Then he gently placed the empty glass back on the tray.
“Every day.”
Mingzhu nodded after hearing this and said, "Go out."
Jiang Zhi turned and left.
Late at night, Mingzhu frowned in her sleep, her consciousness drifting in and out.
She seemed to be pulled by some force and was lightly pulled out of her body.
Mingzhu wanted to open her eyes in a daze.
But before she could fully react.
A powerful suction force suddenly pulled her into deeper darkness.
It was pitch black all around, and so quiet that I could hear my own breathing.
Mingzhu didn't have time to think about it.
The darkness before my eyes suddenly cracked open.
Soon the gap widened rapidly.
In the dazzling light, Mingzhu saw Sheng Yuan's magnified face.
His face was haggard, with dark circles under his eyes and stubble on his chin, and he looked extremely dejected, a rare sight.
Mingzhu stood there in a daze, unable to tell for a moment whether this was a dream or reality.
Then she saw Sheng Yuan reaching out to grab her.
Sheng Yuan opened the sandalwood box and took out the somewhat old pocket watch inside.
He seemed to exude an abnormal stubbornness.
Mingzhu has been missing for almost a month.
Everyone who might have come into contact with her was questioned countless times.
Sheng Yuan's men checked the surveillance videos of major transportation hubs over and over again.
Even the Ming family manor was dug up deep.
But Mingzhu just disappeared.
There were no ransom calls, no traces, as if she had never existed.
Even Lin Huaiyan had given up the search and turned against him at every turn.
Sheng Yuan picked up the pocket watch and looked at it carefully, then suddenly chuckled: "You see, in the end, I am still the only one who loves you..."
Mingzhu was shocked and thought Sheng Yuan could see her.
I didn't feel relieved until I heard the next sentence.
"Mingzhu, you'd better hide yourself better." He whispered into the air with a smile on his lips, as if it was a whisper between lovers.
"It's better not to let me find you."
Mingzhu looked around and found herself in her grandfather's study.
Sheng Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Xiao Cheng with a hoarse voice.
"Are you sure this is what Mr. Ming left for Mingzhu in the Swiss Bank?"
Xiao Cheng replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Sheng."
But this looks like an ordinary pocket watch.
"Keep investigating." Sheng Yuan suddenly laughed again. "Mr. Ming specially arranged this. How could it be just an ordinary pocket watch?"
Xiao Cheng took the order and left quickly.
Seeing this, Mingzhu realized that she had returned to her previous life.
But what she couldn't understand was.
Why is Sheng Yuan so persistent in finding her?
She even found the pocket watch her grandfather left her.
The divorce agreement has already been signed.
According to the procedure, they should have dissolved their marriage by now.
So what does her disappearance have to do with him?
Mingzhu followed Sheng Yuan and left the Ming family manor.
Got into the familiar black luxury car.
Driving all the way towards Beijing.
A few hours later, the car slowly stopped in front of the villa where Sheng's parents lived.
The housekeeper was already waiting at the door. When he saw Sheng Yuan arrive, he immediately went to greet him: "Mr. Sheng, you're back."
Sheng Yuan looked indifferent and walked straight into the living room.
He sat down heavily on the sofa, his eyes full of fatigue.
Mr. and Mrs. Sheng hurried to the living room.
After seeing Sheng Yuan.
Mother Sheng immediately stepped forward with concern: "Xiao Yuan, why have you lost so much weight? You look so pale, did you not eat well?"
She reached out to touch Sheng Yuan's face, but he turned his head away.
Father Sheng's face darkened as he spoke angrily, "He hasn't been home for months, and now he's acting like this! Do we, as parents, have to depend on our son's mood?"
"Stop talking." Mother Sheng tugged at Father Sheng's sleeve, then turned and asked gently, "Where's Mingzhu? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Hearing her name, Mingzhu became more serious.
Sheng Yuan's body stiffened for a moment, and his voice was low: "She...something happened."
"What could possibly be wrong with her?" Sheng's father sneered, "Isn't it just that she doesn't want to see us? After all these years of marriage, she won't even call us mom and dad. It's obvious that she looks down on our Sheng family!"
Mingzhu's eyes turned cold.
When in front of her, Sheng's father and mother always acted like kind and amiable elders.
This is how he looked at her behind her back.
Mother Sheng tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Yuan, you've been married for so many years, it's time to have a child. Mingzhu is 42 years old this year, right? It won't be good for her health if she delays any longer."
"I can't have children." Sheng Yuan said suddenly.
"What?" Sheng's mother exclaimed, "Is there something wrong with Mingzhu's body? Or..."
Father Sheng was so angry that he stood up and said, "She must not want to have a baby! Now that the Ming family has collapsed, why is she still so arrogant? If you ask me, you should just..."
"Looking for a life?" Sheng Yuan slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. "Who do you think I am? And what do you think Mingzhu is?"
Mother Sheng panicked: "Your father didn't mean that... He just thought..."
"That's enough." Sheng Yuan stood up and walked out. "I'm leaving."
"At least stay for dinner before leaving!" Sheng's mother chased to the door, but only saw Sheng Yuan's back as he got into the car.
