Facing the mocking smile in the monster's eyes, Wei Yunshu felt embarrassed and awkward as her fig leaf was torn off by the emperor.
As he said, the right to choose is not in her hands at all. At least if she leaves the place, she can take her son to seek medical treatment abroad, and she will definitely cure Shen Duo, which is better than continuing to be tortured by this monster.
But if this continues, there will be no chance to bring him down.
No, she had no chance since she placed her last hope on that leafy girl.
The identity of an incestuous son did not cause him any substantial harm, and it did not even hurt him.
This study room was like a monster's lair, cold and scary. However, the dying monster was in good spirits at this moment. He even asked her with a smile: "You are shivering. Do you want someone to bring you a cup of hot tea?"
"No need." Wei Yunshu stood up tremblingly and left with the help of crutches.
The door of the study was closed, and Shen Yanqing sat motionless for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he opened a drawer next to him. Inside was an exquisitely designed box with a light green hairband in it.
After sending the ribbon and the suit to the dry cleaners, for some unknown reason he did not return them to Ye Rong immediately. The ribbon had a special meaning to her, but at that time she still used it as a rope to tie the scarf wrapped around his ankles.
Shen Yanqing was not a person who would deceive himself. She told him so many truths on the snowy mountain, and he naturally understood that she would leave soon. It had nothing to do with the "one-month period", but she seemed to have a long way to go, so when things were over, she would always leave him.
"…" Shen Yanqing found that he didn't want her to leave.
He looked at the light green headband in his hand, somewhat absent-minded.
He wanted to keep her.
Although he also has the dirty blood of the Shen family flowing in his body and has had despicable and ugly thoughts, he is different from Shen Duo.
In the dark and dirty world, the girl is like the warm sun in winter and the morning light in spring. She is always holding on to something, and no matter how muddy the situation is, she always has an upward tension.
He was stuck in a quagmire from which he could not escape, and he had never thought about living a normal life.
She was the only variable in his life, and she even made him begin to have a desire to live.
Shen Yanqing stroked the light green ribbon with his fingertips, his eyes and movements were very gentle, the evening light shone on him from the window, as if casting a shadow on him.
Chen Yanqing's eyes darkened slightly. He remembered everything the little girl said on the snowy mountain. If he guessed correctly, she would only leave him when her "goal" was achieved.
So, what is her purpose?
Ye Rong was very sensitive to people's emotions and never crossed the line, but always treated him with kindness and sincerity... She had clearly sensed the malice in his nature but she did not back down at all.
Shen Yanqing thought that he had nothing on him that involved state secrets, nor anything important that could have any beneficial impact on the country's future, but he inadvertently caused them to mobilize an army just to protect his life.
But even if it was to protect his safety, at least Ye Rong, a 19-year-old girl who was still in college, would not be allowed to play such a role, even though she had extraordinary abilities to some extent.
If she didn't know that she didn't have any romantic feelings for him, Shen Yanqing would have thought that she liked him.
She was too frank, and even if she said something touching, she would never let him misunderstand her. There was not even a hint of romance between them.
But she did have a subtle feeling for him.
Shen Yanqing rarely dissected someone's feelings and motives so carefully, but at this moment he always felt that it was very important.
In the past month, she never mentioned what she wanted... No, on the warship evacuating Awolle, she told him her purpose for the first time.
——"I have something I want."
——"Please let me continue to stay with you."
He also discovered that the little girl would not lie to him. She would rather remain silent than lie to him.
But she did say on the snowy mountain—
"Your existence brings me hope of life."
If this statement is true, then what does “hope of life” refer to?
Thinking of this, Shen Yanqing's back stiffened, and he suddenly realized that if her "purpose" failed, Ye Rong might also be in danger of death.
Shen Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and his mind became much clearer in an instant.
The power behind the little girl was so strong that if it was just the troubles caused by terminal illness and money, it would be useless even if she came to him.
Suddenly, he thought of the little girl who was still safe and sound when she was protecting him in the avalanche, and how she was not hurt at all when the grenade fragments exploded. That was definitely not a simple "miracle", and it didn't even seem like a real power...
So, according to this line of thought... the little girl has such great abilities, and a strong background behind her, what is it that requires her to bring about the "hope of life"?
Material things and status can be excluded.
Shen Yanqing suddenly had an idea, unless the little girl wanted something that only he could give.
What was the most precious thing about him, and when the little girl showed her claws to him for the first time after the avalanche, she said:
"You really don't take yourself seriously at all..."
That was the first time he saw her obviously angry, and feeling indescribable powerlessness and sadness.
It was something he could only give her while he was alive.
Not material.
So,
It is not difficult to find the real "purpose" among the remaining answers.
-
These days, Ye Rong found that as long as she made her presence felt in front of Shen Yanqing, her favorability would increase smoothly. It increased by 99 in an incredibly smooth manner, and then remained motionless.
Ye Rong fiddled with the favorability light ball. It went so smoothly that it seemed unreal.
She didn't do anything special to show her presence. She just did the same thing as before, having a meal with Shen Yanqing, helping him push his wheelchair, and pouring him a glass of water.
There was only one thing that was different from before. She used to be more careful in front of Shen Yanqing and acted more properly and steadily, but these past few days she had completely let herself go and even asked someone to bring her durians, and the housekeeper actually agreed!
She agreed!!
Ye Rong really didn't want to, because she was clearly not allowed to drink milk tea or eat barbecue before.
But knowing that Shen Yanqing couldn't stand the strong smell, Ye Rong ate outdoors, and even went to rinse his mouth and wash his hands after eating.
When she saw Shen Yanqing later, before she even approached him, Shen Yanqing asked her, "Is durian delicious?"
Ye Rong blinked: "It's delicious, have you seen it?"
"No." Shen Yanqing smiled, "You still smell like durian."
Ye Rong: “…”
Later she found out that what was even more outrageous was that her favorability was +2.
The favorability increased by 99 at such an incredible speed that Ye Rong herself began to suspect that the emperor had a change of heart and gave her a cheat.
But Ye Rong knew very well that Gou Tong had no conscience and would never give her any cheats.
This should be related to Shen Yanqing's changes.
In the past, Shen Yanqing treated her very gently and gentlemanly, with an attitude of tolerance and even indulgence, but now this gentleness and indulgence has brought warmth. If there is any difference, it is probably that in the past, she was a "little pet" without even a name in his eyes, and all the "giving" was within a small framework and could be taken back at any time. Now, he is more like treating her simply as "Ye Rong", a person with an independent personality. No matter what she does, it is allowed, and there is no such thing as overstepping or crossing the line.
There is a huge difference between the two.
It even made Ye Rong feel that it was a little unreal.
Ye Rong flicked her wrist and didn't touch Tian Shuibi. Then she remembered that Tian Shuibi used the scarf she used as a rope to tie around Shen Yanqing's ankles that day.
When she was in the hospital, Sister Lin told her that Tianshuibi was currently in the hands of Shen Yanqing, but he treated it as an ordinary ribbon and took it to the dry cleaner the next day. After he brought it back, it was kept by Shen Yanqing all the time.
Ye Rong never asked about it, but she vaguely felt that Shen Yanqing would find a chance to return it to her.
Because Ye Rong felt that his mission this time was about to be completed.
Shen Yanqing's favorability increased by 99. Now she only needed an opportunity to succeed, but because she had plenty of time, she was not in a hurry.
But she didn't expect that this opportunity would come much faster than she imagined, and it even caught her off guard.
It was a rare nice afternoon.
Ye Rong had a comfortable nap. After waking up, she lay down and browsed Weibo and videos. She saw a trending search on the hot search list and was stunned for a moment.
This is news about a military exercise between a certain big country and several small countries.
The point is not that these countries have joined forces to cause trouble, but that they are "navigating freely" near the coast of China, which is a blatant show of muscle.
It's so annoying and you can't get rid of it, and you have to be on guard against it actually attacking you.
There was a lot of criticism online.
It is indeed infuriating, because the sense of déjà vu of this hot search is too strong, and Ye Rongyuan's world has also experienced this kind of thing frequently.
Ye Rong was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.
Fortunately, in just a few years, Chinese aircraft carriers have been launched one after another, and those things no longer dare to "freedom of navigation" near the coast.
Ye Rong took a deep breath. This piece of news was so refreshing and the sense of immersion was amazing.
But she soon calmed down. Now with the Xitong and the support of those high-tech items in the Xitong Mall, she believed that in a few years these things would not dare to wander around the coast of Yuguo.
She had no doubts about the functions of the items in the Xiantong Mall and was full of confidence!
Thinking of this, Ye Rong was no longer angry.
Ye Rong put down his phone, stood up and poured himself a glass of water. He looked through the bay window and saw that the weather outside was good, so he thought about going outside to bask in the sun.
However, as soon as she walked out of the second bedroom, she saw Chen Yanqing in the living room. He was looking out the floor-to-ceiling window, not knowing what he was thinking. There was an insurmountable sense of distance between him and her. But when she heard footsteps, he retracted his gaze and looked back at her. The previous sense of distance seemed to be just her illusion.
Ye Rong paused, then asked casually: "The weather is so nice, do you want to go outside and bask in the sun together?"
Shen Yanqing nodded, his tone gentle: "Okay."
Hearing his agreement, Ye Rong blinked, then stepped forward to push his wheelchair.
Because of his foot injury, Shen Yanqing has been working from home these days, and all meetings have been changed to video conferences.
But even so, Chen Yanqing still looks very busy. It is rare to see him sitting in the living room instead of working like today, but when you think about his company's business spread all over the world, it suddenly becomes understandable.
Ye Rong pushed his wheelchair outside.
Although it is winter, the garden does not look desolate, as the daffodils of the Amaryllis family are in full bloom.
"There's a swing over there, let's go over there." Shen Yanqing looked at the wooden swing not far away.
Ye Rong nodded, so she could sit on the swing and bask in the sun.
Pushing the wheelchair to the wooden swing, Chen Yanqing motioned to her, "You sit too."
Ye Rong sat down on the wooden swing, took out a milk candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Seeing Shen Yanqing looking at him, he took out another one from his pocket and gave it to him: "You eat it too."
Shen Yanqing took the candy she handed over, put it in his palm without opening it, and just looked at her with a smile.
"Ye Rong," he called her name, speaking softly as always, with a special ambiguous atmosphere, the sexiness that a mature man unconsciously exudes. He asked, "What do you think of me?"
Ye Rong held a candy in her mouth and looked at the handsome man shining in the sunlight. Time had favored him and given him the maturity and unfathomable depth that he should have at his age. Even the fine lines at the corners of his eyes had grown into eyeliner. His charm was like a carefully brewed wine, mellow and sweet, which made people addicted.
“………”
Ye Rong blinked, not knowing for a moment what had happened to her to cause this. She even thought she was hallucinating, but because the other person looked at her too seriously, she definitely did not hear it wrong.
In just a moment, Ye Rong calmed down and replied to him seriously: "It's a very important person. It's someone I want to protect."
"Well, you are also a very important person to me." Shen Yanqing said with a smile: "Because I seem to like you."
"…" Ye Rong was stunned: "Is it the kind of love that friends have?"
"Of course not." Shen Yanqing looked at her confused face and smiled, "It's a man's love for a woman."
“………”Ye Rong was completely stunned.
Is this a confession from Shen Yanqing?
It's not like Ye Rong had never been hinted at by the opposite sex before, but those were all ambiguous, non-provocative, and flexible teasing, based on the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish. Because Ye Rong never paid attention, the other party quickly retreated.
There is a reason why she has been lonely.
This was the first time she had such an encounter, and with a man like Shen Yanqing who was deep-minded and pure-hearted, she felt even more shocked.
It’s not that I don’t believe it, but when did it start?
She didn't notice at all.
At this moment, it was undoubtedly an opportunity to max out Shen Yanqing's favorability.
Ye Rong was a little shaken, but in the end, she quickly came to her senses. She couldn't respond to Shen Yanqing's feelings. She was carrying the big pitfall of Tong, a time bomb, and she had no intention of considering personal feelings.
Moreover, now that she and everyone in the Special Task Office were together today, it was not just for herself, and she could not be distracted.
"Sorry, I can't respond to your feelings." Ye Rong looked at Shen Yanqing. At present, Shen Yanqing's favorability was as high as 99, just one step away. If she agreed, would the favorability be full? But in the end, Ye Rong was unwilling to achieve her goal by deceiving the other party's feelings, nor was she willing to deceive him. Moreover, with Shen Yanqing's cunning mind, lies were too easy to see through.
Chen Yanqing didn't seem surprised by her rejection, and even smiled, with a hint of hidden admiration and fascination in his eyes: "Since you came to my side, you have protected my life in every possible way, even risking your own life to help me avoid danger, and you wholeheartedly hope that I will live... I want to know the reason for this."
“………”
Facing Shen Yanqing at this time, Ye Rong suddenly felt that she couldn't jump over it. He was seeking the truth. For what, at first Ye Rong came purely for the task of unity, but later in their relationship, she really hoped that he would have a good ending. But at this moment, she wanted a certain big country to unite with several other countries to show off its muscles near the coast of Yuguo, and the country's situation was not good.
Ye Rong took a deep breath and said, "I have a mission that must be completed, and protecting your life is the most important part of it. I want to get along well with you, and I hope you can trust me... I even hope you can like me, a person with impure motives. This is my real purpose for coming to you."
Having said this, Ye Rong was almost exposing herself.
But at this moment, this was the only way left for her. Although she didn't think that Shen Yanqing's affection for her came from the feelings between men and women, Shen Yanqing's frankness to her might be a test. He understood people's hearts, was good at strategizing and analyzing things, and if he wanted to figure out something, his mind would be like a cheat.
After all, this was the target chosen for her by Tong.
"Then you succeed." Shen Yanqing looked at her for a few seconds, and finally smiled. He was not disappointed by her rejection. His eyes showed tolerance and appreciation of the truth. He said, "You did protect me, and I fell in love with you."
