Ning Juexi placed a crystal ashtray on the terrace next to him, and two cigarette butts were lying inside. He still had one between his fingers, which had been burning most of the time.

"Ning Juexi." She walked over: "Do you really care about Pianpian?"

He was calm and had no expression, and said indifferently: "Don't worry."

She looked straight at his face: "She is your sister. She said that she only treats Li Enting as her brother and has no affection between men and women. How do you want her to marry?"

The man's slender figure half leaned on the terrace. At this time, he narrowed his eyes and turned to look at her. His lips raised slightly. The smoke made his dark face become confusing. His voice was covered with a bit of evil smile: "Dense, how regret are you breaking off with me. You want to get back together and come to scan your face every day, huh? You are not sorry for the many sleeping pills you swallowed that day, and even more so for the crimes you suffered from stomach washing in the hospital?"

Qiu Yinan took a deep breath, and she could hardly hear what he was saying below, and all her attention was focused on the word "strong" spit out from his magnetic voice.

"Pianpian is the only cousin you have. You can't watch her marry someone you don't like. You can mock me, but can you save your sister first?"

The man was smoking a cigarette, covered with blue and white smoke, and he looked at her without saying a word.

She looked at him, looking at the dark color under his eyes, like a deep sea where the sunlight cannot shine in the sea. The surface is calm and the undercurrent is hidden deep.

"After a while, he was tangled with me, and then he treated me as nothing. Why did your attitude towards me change so quickly?"

He lowered his head and chuckled, spitting out a long string of smoke rings: "Want to know why?"

Qiu Yinong looked at his eyes silently, and remembered what Zeng Yuying said to her in the garden.

A smoke ring sprayed on her face. She coughed twice, and the man said lightly: "Don't you like seducing people the most? I'll give you a chance. If you seduce me, I'll let Rong Xiyan go as far as I can. I'll let him never dare to attack you and Xixi again, how about it?"

Qiu Yinan was confused. I don’t know if it was caused by his choking smell of smoke, or because of his eyes and voice.

"Rong Xiyan was obviously attacked by Zeng Yuying, so you should settle it for me."

"You shouldn't be the attitude of asking for help." He locked her face, and his tone was always light: "And, I will stop Pianpian's marriage. The combined amount of these two things should be enough, huh?"

"But I..."

She was stunned for a moment, trying to say something, but his eyes were too deep, like a vortex sucking all her words firmly.

He was so close to her again that all the smoke was sprayed by him intentionally or unintentionally. She could smell the smell of tobacco without any effort, mixing the breath of a man, forcing her breath to forcefully enveloping all her thinking ability.

"San Young Master, Madam is looking for you." A maid's voice came from the corridor.

Ning Juexi ignored it. The next moment, Fang Yunmei's figure came slowly: "Juexi."

Fang Yunmei saw the figures of the two at first sight. The position where Qiu Yinong was standing was blocked by Ning Juexi. Ning Juexi lowered her head and leaned close to her, making it look like the two were kissing at first glance.

Qiu Yinong heard the steps approaching and subconsciously retreated, but behind it was a corner of the terrace. As soon as she retreated, the man took a step forward, which caused Fang Yunmei to walk into this little world and sneerlessly: "Miss Qiu, I don't care what happened to you, a person who died, come back to live. In short, it's a fact that you don't want my son. Why do you seduce my son when you come back? I already have a daughter-in-law. You are a human or a ghost. Get out as soon as possible."

Qiu Yinong saw Fang Yunmei who had lost a lot before and was stunned. When she saw this close, she didn't know what to say. Mrs. Ning four years ago was gentle and generous, and her every move was very maiden. Now, she was as slim as if she was withered and extremely thin. She was wearing an international brand of clothes and was loose on her body. The exposed skin was wrinkled, as if she had no muscle tissue, which was extremely terrifying.

Looking at Mrs. Ning like this, Qiu Yinong would have known that this would happen. She really shouldn't have donated blood at the beginning and pulled her lower lip: "Mrs. Ning, you can't slap your son. Why don't you say he will pester me? What's more, this is the Ning family, his territory, he has the initiative, right?"

Fang Yunmei was speechless because of blockage. In addition, she still didn't know whether Qiu Yinong had given birth to a grandson for the Ning family, or not to tear her face too much.

Then, Fang Yunmei stared at Ning Juexi: "Jiexi, you are a married man now. Don't get involved with such a woman. Has she not been able to harm our family enough over the years? Your grandma, and me..."

"Mom." Ning Juexi interrupted his mother lightly: "Is there anything to ask me for?"

He was obviously helping this woman with a cross-cut topic. Fang Yun frowned and looked at his son, and said he was relieved: "Well, your uncle tied Pianpian and said he would be locked downstairs for the time being. He had hung up the phone to the Li family and made an appointment with the Li family three days later to discuss the wedding date. Your uncle asked you to come forward as your brother at that time to talk to the Li family."

Ning Juexi held his pants in his trouser pocket and pinched the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the ground. His eyes just caught Qiu Yinan's lip biting action. The corners of his lips curled up and replied lightly: "Okay, you go down first, I have something to tell her."

This is naturally referring to the rich autumn.

Fang Yunmei looked at Qiu Yinan with a complicated expression, held back her temper, and retreated with a stern face.

When Mrs. Ning left, the floor-to-ceiling window door was closed again. Ning Jue looked at her faintly with his head on the west side: "Did you hear it? I will talk to the Li family about the wedding date in three days, and then nothing will be gone."

Qiu Yinan closed her eyes halfway, "I have never seen my brother pushing my sister into the fire pit."

"Now you've seen it."

-

Qiu Yinong went downstairs, walked through the courtyard, and met Zeng Yuying at the door again. Zeng Yuying seemed to want to go out to buy something, holding an environmentally friendly shopping bag in her hand.

Zeng Yuying didn't drive, as if she was going to walk. She tilted her head and looked at Qiu Yinan who was about to open the car door at the gate, and smiled calmly: "Miss Qiu, are you leaving so soon? How are you talking to him? If you don't hold on, it may be difficult to see him in the future."

Qiu Yinong stood beside the car, putting his fingers on the handle, and smiled softly: "You are the strangest woman I have ever seen."

"You want to say that I have encouraged other women to seduce my husband several times, right?" Zeng Yuying smiled.

Qiu Yidan nodded.

Zeng Yuying looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. The heavy rain at lunch seemed to be no longer there. The sky had cleared up, but there might be a heavy rain in other places.

"You just tell me, do you still love him?"

This sentence is too direct, not like a question, but more like a statement, like a searchlight shining straight in the deep autumn heart.

She looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and smiled inexplicably: "So what if you love, so what if you don't love? In your words, love is not a switch, it is not a switch when you want to turn on, or when you want to turn off. No matter what, your marriage exists in fact, even if you are a sexless marriage, it is also a kind of marriage."

A servant was faintly sweeping fallen leaves in the courtyard. Zeng Yuying walked out the door and deliberately let the voice down very low. Just one word by word, it could only fall into Qiu Yinan's ears: "Tell you a secret. Each of Juxico and I each have a divorce certificate in our hands. Do you still want him like this?"

Not sure about the authenticity of this matter, Qiu Yinong didn't say anything for a moment.

"There is no fourth person in this world except you, and even Rong Xiyan doesn't know about this. Do you know why?"

After Zeng Yuying asked this, he didn't expect Qiu Yinong to answer, and continued to whisper: "Because I have no future with him, and you have it, there is only a river between you and him. Do you think the river is very deep? In fact, it's not. You just lack the courage to flow through the river. Do you still remember a little man book we read when we were young? The little horse crossed the river."

The thick autumn ears seemed to have fire poured into their ears. Every word of Zeng Yuying was like a fire ball, burning her ear nerves, gathering in her brain, turning into a vast sea of ​​fire.

She murmured, "When did it happen?"

"I got the divorce certificate three days after getting the certificate that year. The parents of both parties only saw our marriage certificate and didn't know that we had no marriage relationship for a long time."

The sunlight dispels the dark clouds, the light is very good, but the autumn is strong, but everything around is blurred. Only Zeng Yuying's gently squirming lips and the gentle but lethal sound are left in the world.

In other words, when she comes back four years later, he pesters her. From then on, isn’t he considered an affair with her...?

But why didn't he say that why he gave her an illusion that he was married, and every time she met or was with him, it seemed like she cheated again and again?

"Why is this happening?" She couldn't help but murmur, asking herself more.

The Ning family was so hurt by her. Mrs. Ning was so angry that she returned to heaven. Mrs. Ning suffered mental torture. Why did he still look for her?

Why fake marriage?

Why didn’t the wishes of the Ning family’s elders fulfilled and got married and had children?

If she doesn't come back, if she doesn't show up, would he plan to be alone like this for the rest of his life?

No children, no children, no children?

End of old age alone?

Zeng Yuying smiled slightly with a slight smile: "These words were signed by me and Juxico. I cannot reveal them to a third party even if I beat them to death. I will tell you today, don't tell Juxico, otherwise I will be miserable."

After a long quiet time, Qiu Yinong asked, "Why should I tell me this? You and I can't even call you a friend. There is no need for you to betray your agreement with him for the sake of me."

Zeng Yuying raised her hand and pushed away the hair that covered her face. She clearly had curved eyebrows and eyes, but she didn't have a smile: "Because Yichen is quite boring, I will fight for what I want when I have the strength."

"Why don't you and Rong Xiyan fight to be together? Why would you rather tell me than tell him?" Qiu Yinong really couldn't understand.

"Why don't you fight for me?" Zeng Yuying repeated this sentence and smiled at herself: "There is no future, what's the use of fighting for me? He is no longer the person in my mind, and he can't arouse my desire to fight for me. Just like that, it's great."

-

The autumn is deep and I return to Cang City at four o'clock in the evening. Mo Xilang has not come back to play at Mai Yanqing's house.

She fell down on the bed, as if she had run a marathon, staring out the window with her eyes blank, not knowing what she was looking at.

At noon the next day, a Spanish restaurant.

Qiu Yinan came later than the agreed time. When he walked into the restaurant, he saw the slender figure of the man by the window. The elegant and indifferent man was wearing a tailored suit, which complemented his handsome and perfect facial features.

With a smile on her red lips, she walked over in her high heels: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Ning Juexi withdrew his gaze and raised his hand as if nothing had happened to pour her a glass of red wine. A low and indifferent look filled his eyes: "Is there anything to ask me for?"

"The dishes here are good, and they are recommended by Steven and Mai Yanqing. French people know romance the best." She was very interested, but answered the question.

Ning Juexi glanced at her with a light-colored eyes: "The chef here is the best in Cang City."

Her lips pouted slightly, and she raised her chin and looked at the unobstructed view of the entire Cang City and said, "I have something to tell you, let's have a meal first, and then say it after the meal."

The man held the wine and refused to comment.

Qiu Yinong looked at the glass of red wine he poured for her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but temptation. He picked it up and took a sip. It tasted good and couldn't help but take another sip.

Ning Juexi played with the wine glass in his hand and looked up at the woman opposite who was only caring for drinking. She obviously dressed up carefully today, had her hair taken care of, her face was light makeup, and a red long-breasted skirt, which was bright and charming.

Qiu Yinong, who had finished a glass of wine, seemed to have forgotten what she had just talked about after the meal. She held her chin with one hand and blinked her eyes at the elegant and precious man opposite her, then took out a card from her handbag and gently pushed it in front of him.

Ning Juexi paused his fingers playing with the wine glass, stared at the bank card and sneered: "Don't you explain it?"

"There are all my belongings here, five million." Qiu Yinan did not show any timidity, and lowered her head and smiled charmingly, "You should be a bodyguard for me and Xixi to protect our mother and son."

"Where did you get the confidence that you can hire me for five million?" He put down his wine glass and leaned lazily in the chair, with a strong sense of mockery in his eyes.

She lowered her head and stared at the empty wine glass and smiled, "I only hire you for three days, five million is enough."

Three days? It happened to cover the day when the Lu family and the Li family discussed the marriage. He raised his eyes: "Do you think I will agree?"

"If you don't agree, I'll invite someone else. Well, Hang Jingyao or Morion, they don't charge money, so they can save me a sum." She seemed to be thinking to herself: "Or I can also invite Ning Mengbei, I guess he won't ask me to charge money..."

The man picked up the wine slowly and sneered: "Then what are you looking for me?"
