Chapter 111: Have expectations to avoid falling into the abyss "I?"
Shen Manzhi put down his wine glass, his voice so soft but indifferent.
"I have no fixed place to live, what can I give him? Even survival is a problem..."
Jingmo grabbed her wrist and said with unbearable eyes, "Don't do this."
Shen Manzhi chuckled and pressed her hand soothingly, "It's just a fact."
Kyomo knelt down beside her and held her fingers with his backhand, feeling helpless pity.
She has no weakness, so she is fearless, even risking her life.
"You are a non-staff member of Linjiang. Even if you return to Beijing, nothing can restrain you. What he does to you may not be a bad thing."
Shen Manzhi looked at her, his eyes sparkling, and he said with a smile, "Are you trying to match me up with him? Are you deliberately dragging me into their private room tonight?"
Jingmo didn't refute. In fact, the relationship between the two of them was not a heart-to-heart relationship, but it was a life-and-death friendship. Some things were obvious to those who were watching, but she couldn't see Shen Manzhi clearly. She only hoped that she could have some hope.
If you have expectations, you will not fall into the abyss easily.
"You are free, why don't you give it a try?"
Shen Manzhi lowered his eyes, watching her smile softly, thinking, I am not free.
But she didn't say anything. She took back her hand and said calmly, "I don't trust anyone."
Especially things like feelings.
When she was young, when Shen Duanwen couldn't wait to marry his second wife after the death of his first wife, she had doubts about love; as an adult, she has seen people who loved each other so much that they cried to tears more than once after being broken up. Heartbroken.
She had also seen the nominal father come out of the tender homes of different women many late at night, and she was no longer surprised by the scene.
As for her friends, she is full of secrets and cannot trust anyone.
Kyousue held her chin up, it didn't matter that she said "don't trust anyone", including her own, they were all licking blood on the tip of a knife, and they always had a clear sense of what was light and what was important.
"So you only accepted cooperation with Lingjiang, but you never considered becoming Lingjiang's person, right?"
Shen Manzhi closed his eyes and said disapprovingly, "Life or death is unpredictable, why should I give this life to others."
Jingmo lowered his head and chuckled. She was more free and easy than anyone else, and precisely because of this, she needed redemption more than anyone else.
She originally thought that this person would be Si Ji. He and Shen Manzhi were essentially the same kind of people. But in fact, during those years in the capital, it was Si Ji who made her see more abyss.
Later, she was still surprised as to why Shen Manzhi accepted this marriage. The person who was obviously the most unworthy person allowed someone to become her legal partner.
In just one month, she finally saw the rare fireworks in Shen Manzhi. Even she had a filter for the prince who had returned from studying abroad. She really hoped that he could become the expectation of Shen Manzhi, who had been alone for more than 20 years.
That's why I agreed to the plutocratic young master's request and took people to the third floor to see if this person was worth it.
To her surprise, the man was so drunk that he allowed others to "bully" him. He sat alone in the corner without even looking at other members of the opposite sex until Shen Manzhi came in.
The possessiveness in his eyes was really frightening, but he was polite and restrained, only listening to his wife's opinion.
Jingmo came back to his senses and felt really regretful, "He is not the same as others in your heart, right?"
Shen Manzhi opened the candy in his hand. Qin Yanfeng slowly stuffed the peach-flavored gummy candy into his hand before going to bed.
She thought that it was nothing more than the shadow of another person everywhere in the monotonous life.
He will express the purpose of marriage when the two meet for the first time, and will stand by her side to protect her unconditionally during family disputes.
He will also ask her opinion on everything, whether it is asking to cooperate with him or wanting to get closer between husband and wife. Gentle and gentleman, he would design a wedding ring in private and put it on her hand casually, then look straight at her and ask for a kiss.
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyelashes and smiled, like a romantic woman who has never touched a leaf among thousands of flowers, and her charming and indifferent temperament was extracted from her.
"If you want to enjoy the present moment, I don't mind trying it with him, but it's not fair to him."
Kyosu looked at her seriously, "You are soft-hearted."
"Jing Mo," Shen Manzhi raised his eyelids slightly and looked at her meaningfully, "Don't trust men too much."
In other words, she did not believe that Qin Yanfeng was sincere, she only felt that he was interested in her next day, I sobered up after drinking.
Qin Yanfeng touched the place next to him. It was cold and dizzy. He raised his eyes and encountered an unfamiliar environment.
It's a terrible thing to be cut off.
Through the single-sided floor-to-ceiling window, you can see the sky outside the square and transparent top floor. It is foggy and bright.
There was a person lying on the rocking chair next to the fireplace, with a white blanket casually draped around his waist. He tilted his head to look at him in a leisurely manner, with tiny firelight dancing in his cold eyes.
Qin Yanfeng sat up, still wearing a wrinkled shirt and trousers, and he was slightly absent-minded.
"Sorry to trouble you last night."
More than trouble.
After lying for a long time, his waist was a little sore. Shen Manzhi turned to his side, pillowed his head with one hand, and observed his expression.
"Don't remember what you did last night?"
Qin Yanfeng frowned. He had a good drinking capacity, but it was not that he would never get drunk after a thousand drinks. He could just feel the changes in his body. Did he bully her yesterday?
"Feel sorry."
Shen Manzhi closed his eyes and said, "Please pack up and go back."
Qin Yanfeng saw the black belt thrown casually on the ground and walked to the bathroom without changing his expression.
There were neat and clean shirts and trousers stacked in the conspicuous storage basket beside the door, the size of which fit him perfectly.
When Qin Yanfeng finished washing, Shen Manzhi was about to fall asleep. When he opened his eyes slightly, he saw a tall man standing at the end of the bed in front of him, buttoning his shirt sleeves and looking at her without saying a word.
"Did I kiss you last night?"
"..."
She had already kept silent, so why did he have to bring her back.
Qin Yanfeng pointed to the inconspicuous wound at the corner of his mouth.
When she was pulling last night, she did accidentally use the wrong force.
Shen Manzhi became more energetic and simply smiled casually, "What else do you remember?"
I can't remember, but I guessed it when I just changed clothes.
He lowered his tone and looked down at her with affectionate eyes, which actually seemed to be somewhat affectionate, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself last night."
Although he said this, he was not apologetic at all, and even Shen Manzhi could hear the implication behind his words.
"I'm sorry" is out of politeness, and "I can't help myself" is teasing.
"Then Mr. Qin must be careful in the future. When you get drunk, you may end up in a girl's gentle land. Don't lose your virginity..."
"I'm married, so naturally I won't have sex outside. In my eyes, how can other members of the opposite sex compare to you?"
Tsk, innuendo, this guy is starting to hit the straight ball.
Shen Manzhi didn't want to mention it anymore and was about to send him away.
"Today is New Year's Eve, go back with me."
She turned sideways and closed her eyes, silently refusing.
"I think you should be very interested in the Qin family's affairs, as well as the mastermind behind the gang in the old street yesterday."
Shen Manzhi curled up at her feet, these words really aroused her interest.
