Zhang Louyao came from behind and quickened Mu Weicheng"s pace. His expression was tense and a dry look flashed across his eyes.
This was a taboo topic that he did not want to hear, much less think about.
Previously, he had thought that love was a matter between two people. Now, he realized that it was a matter between two families, and it was also a matter between families.
Why can"t we just unite because we love each other? We can"t let things get in our way, so we can"t let our footsteps get any heavier.
Zhang Louyao was stomping her feet in anger. How could Mu Weicheng not listen to her advice? He was walking into a quagmire. The deeper he went, the more dangerous it became.
Ling Nua
uan had partic.i.p.ated in the school"s debate at around five in the afternoon and had obtained a second place in the compet.i.tion. Ling Nua
uan had obtained a second place in the debate at around five in the afternoon and had obtained a second place in the compet.i.tion.
Ling Nua
uan used to have mediocre grades in school, but now she had become an outstanding student. This sense of superiority made her smile from ear to ear. As expected, a person was not outstanding and had to rely on his companions.
Mu Weicheng would have been present during Ling Nua
uan"s debate, but somehow, Mu Weicheng was absent. Ling Nua
uan looked at the seat with his nameplate being taken by another teacher and felt empty inside. Didn"t he promise her he would come?
After the award was given, Ling Nua
uan ran out. She took out her cell phone and dialed Mu Weicheng"s number.
When no one answered Mu Weicheng"s phone, Ling Nua
uan became even more anxious.
"What"s going on? You"re not answering the phone either? " Ling Nua
uan pouted with disappointment.
At this moment, it was already 7 PM and Mr. Driver was waiting for her. After Ling Nua
uan got into the car, she immediately got Mr. Driver to send her to Mu Weicheng"s private apartment.
"Eldest Miss, you haven"t eaten di
er yet, right?" The Mr. Driver asked her with concern.
"I"m not hungry. Give me a moment, I"ll be right down." With that said, Ling Nua
uan ran back into the small sector.
When she stood in front of Mu Weicheng"s house, she knocked loudly on the door.
After a while, the door opened and Mu Weicheng was standing in the doorway. Ling Nua
uan could smell the scent of cigarettes and alcohol coming from him.
"Mu Weicheng, what happened to you?" Ling Nua
uan was astounded. The man did not turn on the light, but drank and smoked. His body was shrouded in a layer of depression.
"My uncle is dead!" Mu Weicheng"s voice was extremely hoa.r.s.e.
"Huh?" Ling Nua
uan"s mind went blank. She had not expected such a thing to happen. She could not help but become nervous. "Is he sick ??"
"I"m not in a good mood today. Go back." When Mu Weicheng finished his afternoon game, he suddenly received a call. His uncle died in prison, having a heart attack and pa.s.sing away.
Ling Nua
uan saw his grief and couldn"t bear to leave. She stood motionlessly at the door, looking at him with a pair of worried eyes. "Mu Weicheng, I don"t really know how to comfort people, but I hope you can grieve."
Mu Weicheng stared at her with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Your elder brother issued the transfer order, I"ll be returning to the base next Monday." Your elder brother sent the transfer order, I"ll be returning to the base next Monday.
"No!" Ling Nua
uan"s eyes blazed as she heard his words. She immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly with both hands. Her face was pressed against his chest, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "I told my brother not to change his mind. Don"t leave."
Mu Weicheng looked down at the girl in his arms who was crying like the rain, and his heart felt like it was being cut by knives.
"Obeying orders from my superiors is my duty." Mu Weicheng said in a low voice.
"I can go beg my brother, my brother will definitely promise me, I won"t let you go." Ling Nua
uan didn"t know how many more years it would be before she and Mu Weicheng would miss each other.
"This won"t do. Don"t do this, don"t make things difficult for your elder brother." Only then did Mu Weicheng freeze his hands and hug her gently.
"My big brother favors me the most, he will definitely let you stay. He will." Ling Nua
uan didn"t expect to face separation so soon. She was really reluctant and in great pain.
I don"t want you to do this, you will make things difficult for your big brother, and also, if he finds out about our relations.h.i.+p now, the timing is inappropriate. My uncle just left, I can"t introduce you to my family and friends now. Mu Weicheng said in a low voice.
Ling Nua
uan closed her eyes tightly, her tears falling even more violently.
She knew it wouldn"t be so easy to be with him, but she didn"t expect that after everything had come together, it would be so hard for her to have a peaceful and stable love.
"Why wait? How long would it take? Can you give me a deadline? " Ling Nua
uan took a step back from his embrace. With tears in her eyes, she asked him sorrowfully, "One year, or two years? Or longer? "
Mu Weicheng"s heart almost broke down when he saw her crying like this.
"I can"t give you an exact answer, but it"s definitely not right now. I don"t want you to suffer from these injuries." Mu Weicheng had always taken into account that it would bring a blow to her soul. Would Mu Family people accept her? Unless he lost all relations with the entire Mu Family.
"I"m not afraid of getting hurt. I"m afraid that you"ll leave me." She really didn"t fear the wind and rain, she only wanted to live such a simple life with him. Even if they ran and practiced together in the morning, eating the di
er he cooked, she didn"t need to communicate further. She only wanted the daily warmth.
"After I finish taking care of my uncle"s affairs, I will go to the base to report. I will come back on leave and find you, and I won"t be hiding from you for a year or two. We can call you and send you letters, and as long as you miss me, there are many ways to contact me, unless I"m on a mission and can"t respond to you in time." Mu Weicheng would not let her wait for a long time, he was also reluctant to let her have a hard time thinking about it.
"Really?" Ling Nua
uan"s i
er grief instantly stopped. Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "I only want to call you because I miss you?" You won"t hide from me anymore? "
"No, because you"re an adult." Mu Weicheng touched her hair gently, "I used to avoid you not because I"m afraid of you, but because I can"t control myself. Not anymore. We can be like lovers and contact each other."
Ling Nua
uan"s tears turned into smiles as she made a fist with her hand and punched him lightly on the chest. "Then it"s a deal. As long as I can contact you, I won"t be afraid of you no matter where you go. You"re a kite, and I"m the one pulling the string. I"m not afraid that you"ll fly away."
"Mm, I can"t fly out of your grasp, so, this parting, we don"t need to be sad, we just need to return to our own seats. You read properly, I will work well, and one day, we will meet at the most suitable time." Mu Weicheng"s deep eyes were also filled with reluctance. However, he was a man. When he said goodbye, he should comfort her, rather than letting her immerse herself in sorrow without any sense of security.
"Mn, I understand, since this isn"t the right time to fall in love, then I won"t make things difficult for you. I don"t know what to say about your uncle"s matter, but as a person of Mu Family, you should take care of it properly. I"ll leave first, don"t be too sad, and pay attention to your body." Ling Nua
uan"s heart finally calmed down. She took a deep breath, forced a smile onto her face, and waved goodbye.
Mu Weicheng stood at the door and watched her beautiful figure disappear in the elevator. His heart was empty, as if someone had taken his heart away.
Ling Nua
uan got back in the car. She turned on her cell phone and saw the latest and most authoritative news report that the former president had died of illness.
Ling Nua
uan"s emotions were complicated, she did not know if she should be happy or sad. old president had committed evil deeds, so he should be punished.
Vice President Mansion!
The lights in the living room were on, and Lan Yanxi was sitting at the table after di
er. Ling Mofeng took off his coat and started cleaning up the table.
"old president died." Ling Mofeng suddenly said.
Lan Yanxi was astounded. "When did this happen?"
"About six o"clock this afternoon, there was a heart attack." Ling Mofeng stopped what he was doing and put his hands on the table. "I might be in trouble if he pa.s.sed away at this time."
Lan Yanxi"s heart tightened, "They won"t suspect that you did it, will they?
