Newlywed and old love, the president's secret bride

Chapter 170 Without her, the night would have been extraordinarily long, and almost everyone would have had a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, the morning sun penetrated the gap between the curtains and fell on the empty floor.

The whole muscular arms of the man on the bed were draped over the black velvet quilt. His wheat-colored skin was flawless, revealing the smooth lines of his muscles.I don't know how long he has been awake, and I don't know what he is looking at with his eyes open. His eyes look deep, urgent and suffocating in the dim air.

When Nancy opened the bedroom door and came in, she couldn't help but startled when she saw this scene, "Are you awake?"

Only then did the man move his eyes, and his eyes lightly locked on her, "Yes."

Nancy smiled under his gaze, "Don't worry, no one else saw you when you passed out yesterday. Later, I sent someone to tell Jiang Shan that you were invited to leave by my father, and she didn't suspect anything."

"Thank you." Jiang Lin's voice was hoarse and tired, and he closed his eyes again after speaking.

The news of his illness six years ago reached the Jiang family's ears, but they probably thought that he had recovered by then, or that even if he had sequelae, it shouldn't be so serious.In addition, he has concealed it intentionally or unintentionally in the past few years, even Yucheng and Bo Yang have concealed it.The only people who knew about this matter were his medical team and Duke Leopold's eldest daughter, Miss Nancy.

"Apart from these two words, do you have anything else you want to say to me?" Nancy walked slowly to his bed and sat down, reaching out to hold his hand.

Jiang Lin's eyes slowly opened, and there was no emotion in his dark pupils.His tone was also flat, "This is the third time I've troubled you, anyway, Jiang Lin wants to say thank you."

"It's still so unreasonable." Nancy smiled softly, pulled the quilt to cover him, "You are the one who wants to be my husband, and I should do whatever I do for you."

The man's handsome and thick black eyebrows were slightly frowned, his thin lips were pursed, and he didn't say a word.

Nancy stretched out her hand, flattened his eyebrows, and said softly: "We grew up together, how many years have passed? When I was eight years old, when my father arranged for me to meet you for the first time, I asked the housekeeper Daughter Amy came to see you in my clothes. What happened, do you remember?"

As if recalling the past, the man's tightly pursed thin lips gradually let go of a smile, and said in a low voice, "I remember, I pushed the von Braun's boy up and hid in the back garden by myself."

Nancy smiled a little dazedly, her eyes seemed to be a little bit through her eyes, and she saw a place far, far away, "Then I ran to the back garden and saw you."

That year, that day, he was still a boy under the age of 18, but it was enough to see from his deep and handsome outline, as well as that deserted and noble temperament, that he would be extraordinary in the future.

"The first time I saw you, I thought I was finished." Nancy smiled, "As the daughter of a duke, I actually fell in love with an unknown boy, and he has black hair, black eyes, looks similar to We all look different."

The man squinted his eyes, as if he could feel the sunlight at that time.At that time, his family was still kind and happy, he and the young master of the von Braun family were still brothers and sisters, and he even felt supremely honored as a descendant of the Willebrand family.

The memory was suddenly cut off in my mind, and I didn't want to think about it anymore, because now, it has long been beyond recognition.

"I remember the year when you left home at the age of 24, you told me that you would come back when you figured it out." Nancy whispered, "I have been waiting for you for eight years, but when your life is on the line, you don't even think about it." You never thought of coming to me. If I hadn’t just sent someone to China at that time, you would have already..."

Jiang Lin looked at her and said calmly: "I don't remember the first two years in China. And then..." He paused, his voice hoarse, "I always feel that there is something in my heart I missed it, so I never came back."

Nancy raised her lips and smiled, "As a result, you brought a female guest with you when you came back?"

Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, and suddenly sat up with the mattress propped up. The wound on his back was painful. He frowned, and it took him a long time to recover, "This is what I want to talk to you about."

Nancy said "hmm", "You tell me, I'll listen."

"The marriage contract between you and me was arranged by the elders." Jiang Lin said in a calm voice, "It is a marriage contract between the eldest daughter of Duke Leopold and the eldest grandson of Duke Willebrand."

Nancy's eyes darkened, she bit her lip and said nothing.

"And eight years ago, Jiang Lin was no longer the eldest grandson of the Duke of Willebrand. I mean, do you understand?"

"Can I pretend I don't understand?" Nancy's blue eyes sparkled, but she still smiled gracefully, "You just think of me as the young lady of the Leopold family, don't you? Since I'm really in your heart I only have this identity, so why did you risk your life to save me back then? Wouldn’t it be better to just let your servants come to save me, or just watch me die in the Rhine River?”

Jiang Lin was slightly startled, the color in his black eyes quickly sank to the depths again, his Adam's apple rolled down, "At that time..."

"At that time, you praised my beautiful clothes. I bought 30 pieces of the same clothes and wore them for a month. You said that the muffins made by my chef were delicious, so I studied with him day and night. We went out together An outing, going skiing in Switzerland, going to..."

"Nancy." The man interrupted her quietly, "I can do these things with anyone, and so can you."

"But you said you liked me!"

The man said softly, "I told Shanshan too."

What's more, if she didn't use a knife to compare her arteries to ask him if the whole world doesn't like her, he wouldn't need to tell her seriously that he likes her.

Nancy's pupils began to dim, Jiang Lin's narrow eyes tightened, and he grabbed her hand, "Don't do stupid things again."

She's in a bad state of mind, he's known for years.And many years ago, he also thought that he would definitely marry her.

Who wasn't young and passionate?Because of a pretty face, a seductive figure, a melodious singing voice, and elegant etiquette, it is easy to fall in love with someone.

But liking is liking after all. When someone is prettier than her, has a better figure than her, sings better than her, and behaves better than her, how can this kind of liking be maintained?

At that time, he also thought that if he could spend his whole life with such a gentle and pleasant woman, there was nothing to be picky about.

It wasn't until he experienced what it means to be unforgettable, and when he looked back, he realized that he was a frog in a well back then, so easily satisfied.

Nancy's hand was held by the man, and her tears fell down at once.She turned her head away, turned her face again after wiping, and said with a smile: "Jiang Lin, you are not as cute as when you were a child."

Jiang Lin stared at her, his eyebrows were as pale as distant mountains, his thin lips were drawn into a line, and he didn't say a word.

"When you were young, you could catch up with two boxes of muffins." Nancy couldn't help chuckling as she said, but her tone darkened again as she smiled, "Does it mean that the older you are, the harder it is to fall in love with someone? "

"No." Jiang Lin said lightly, "It's because the older you are, the more you can distinguish what love is. In my eyes, you are the same as Shanshan and Jiangnan. The friendship between us for more than ten years is not enough for me to love you." Did you give up your life to save you in a crisis?"

Nancy's pupils shrank, and her lips trembled for a long time before she stabilized her voice and asked him, "So you love the woman you brought back?"

Jiang Lin lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, the broken hair on his forehead covered his high browbones and deep eye sockets, and the emotions on his face were unclear.

Just when Nancy thought he would not answer, he said: "If there is no her, I can be with anyone; but if she is here, then except her...no one can."

Nancy raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard the words, "Really?"

Before he could answer, she withdrew her wrist from the man's hand, "I see."

——Without her.

Nancy turned to leave, but was stopped by the man on the bed: "Thank you for taking care of me, I'll ask Jiangnan to pick me up right away."

The woman who walked to the door stopped when she heard the words, she turned her head and smiled gracefully, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to Jiang's house." After not returning all night, he already imagined that the little woman must be angry with him again.

Nancy's smile didn't halve, "Go back? Are you looking for your girlfriend?"

Jiang Lin frowned, and felt something was wrong from her smile.His eyes darkened a little, and at first glance they looked dark and frightening.

At this time, the housekeeper brought a bowl of clear soup, and Nancy took it and put it on his bedside, and said with a smile: "The hunting season is here, this is the liver I ordered someone to kill last night, try it."

Jiang Lin's eyes fell on the bowl of soup, and after taking a sip, he felt uncomfortable, so he put the bowl down.

Seeing this, Nancy had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to put away the bowl, and said regretfully, "I thought you would like it." After all, you liked it so much when it was alive.

"Nancy."

"I know what you're going to ask." Nancy cut off softly, "You don't have to go back to Jiang's house to find her. She was taken away by people from England last night."

Jiang Lin's eyebrows frowned for a moment, and the sharp edge was forced into the air from his dark eyes, as if he wanted to strangle someone's throat, "What did you say?"
