Newlywed and old love, the president's secret bride

Chapter 182 Saying so, don't you understand?Duan Zijin protected the little guy in her arms, and everyone around her turned their gazes over. The place where she was standing seemed to be a target of public criticism for a moment.

Although the Duke of Willebrand was old, he didn't know what was going on. As soon as the girl from the Leopold family opened his mouth, he felt that there seemed to be some inside information that he didn't know.

The butler immediately went to understand what had happened, and came back to report in his ear.

The expression on the old prince's face did not change, but he clenched the crutch three points in his hand.

He looked indifferently at the woman brought back by his grandson. After years of precipitation and baptism, the original eagle-like gaze was no longer as sharp and compelling as before, but a little more unfathomable and secluded.

The woman stretched out her hand to protect the squirrel in her arms, who was almost dead. Her expression was very calm. Maybe others couldn't see it, but after all, he lived decades longer than them, so she could tell at a glance that she was actually Very nervous, nervous like a frightened bird, under the suppressed emotions, it is actually a heart that is about to collapse at any time.

The old duke smiled slightly, and said to the big housekeeper beside him: "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, what Nancy girl said is good. This situation of being tied for the first... It hasn't happened once in decades, we still have to Try to avoid it. If other people have no objections, follow Nancy girl’s suggestion and have an extra trial, whoever can hunt this squirrel will be today’s champion, how about it?”

He just asked a question symbolically.

Everyone knows that the Willebrand family has always been one and only, even among aristocratic families, they still occupy an absolute dominant position.What's more, the idea came from the eldest daughter of the Leopold family, and now she is no different from a goddess-level existence in this circle, and her words can be compared to golden rules when spoken out.

Nancy saluted gracefully, "Thank you Grandpa."

Duan Zijin stared at the past.

Oh, grandpa has called?

She pursed her lips, and finally hugged the squirrel tightly, and said to the old duke, "My lord duke, I have a problem."

The moment the words came to a close, Duan Zijin immediately felt that everyone looked at her with deeper and colder eyes, and the man beside him also frowned indistinctly.

"I know, you want to save it." Old Duke Willebrand squinted at her, "But it bit Nancy girl first, no matter what, we should give her an explanation. What's more, you didn't capture it yourself Prey, what to do, you need to ask the two young men next to you."

To speak nicely is to tell her that she has no right to speak here.

Duan Zijin turned his head to look at the man, and saw his deep and handsome face as carved by a knife. The light and shadow of the dusk intertwined, and his facial features were particularly clear and sharp.The corners of her pursed lips were almost drawn into a straight line, her eyes were as black as luster, fixedly staring at the brown-gray fur exposed between her arms, and did not speak.

Jiang Lin, is he shaken?

Whether it was to win over Tang Jichi or vent his anger on his fiancée, this wavering had to be at the cost of killing the thing she wanted to save.

Duan Zijin turned to look at the man in the wheelchair again, he also remained silent, as if he was also thinking...

Seeing this, Nancy took two steps forward, smiled and said, "Why, Master Town doesn't want to win?"

The melodious voice, no matter how you listen to it, is gradually seductive.

Duan Zijin felt aggrieved for no reason.She really hated this feeling of powerlessness, she couldn't even find a place to lose her temper.

Tang Jichi thought for a while and said, "I want to win."

The smile on Nancy's lips slowly widened.

But the man's next words made her widening smile freeze instantly.

"However, as you can see, I participated in this competition because of Zijin." Tang Jichi said calmly, as if he was describing other people's affairs, "Because I am not convinced, unwilling, and feel that I am no worse than others. But now that I think about it, what does love have to do with winning or losing? No matter how good you are, it’s not the reason for love, don’t you think, Miss Nancy?”

These words were like steel nails, deeply inserted into Nancy's heart.

The pain caused the ever-changing gentle smile on her face to distort for a split second.

No matter how good you are, it is not the reason for love.

What is he insinuating?

Duan Zijin was also stunned when he heard the words, and looked at the calm-looking man on the wheelchair with complicated eyes, many words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to get up or down.

Nancy paused, put away the unnaturalness in her expression, and said with a light smile, "Master Town, what do you mean, just willingly hand over the first place to others?"

Tang Jichi clenched his hands slightly, and his voice echoed loudly in front of the hall full of people.

"I can win for her, why should I be afraid of losing for her?"

Duan Zi leaned aside, and the man held her hand tightly.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Jiang Lin's eyes as dark as jade, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger.His face was obviously pale, but it made people feel inexplicably cold, as if he just heard something that made him feel bad.

"Lenn." The old man suddenly said amidst the sighs of everyone.

Duan Zijin's face turned pale, and Jiang Lin's brows were slightly sullen, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and she responded in a low voice.

"The wound on girl Nancy's hand was bitten by this little beast?" the old man asked.

Jiang Lin lowered his eyes, his face was serious, "It was my negligence."

"Since it was your negligence, and Master Town is willing to give you the chance to win the competition, you can kill it with your own hands, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Nancy girl."

Duan Zijin looked at the old man in disbelief.

His intervention will undoubtedly complicate the whole matter, and the situation can be described as one-sided.

"grandfather."

Jiang Lin's voice was very hoarse. As soon as he uttered these two words, Duke Leopold over there sneered: "Lenn, a week ago, you were willing to kill even the lion that your uncle gave you because of your guest. Why now, because of Nancy, Even a wild squirrel can make you hesitate? Put aside the relationship between Nancy and your brother and sister for more than ten years, why, you Willebrand family, are you disregarding the Grand Duke title that my emperor personally bestowed on me?"

Everyone's eyelids twitched at the same time.

This is too serious.

The old duke's calm and breezy expression also subsided in an instant.

Others only think that Lenn and Nancy are really brother and sister for more than ten years, but the two of them know very well that these two children are the future of the two families, and marriage is the best way.The bond between them must not be broken just like that.

Duke Leopold was very displeased when he heard that Jiang Lin bloodbathed the Rose Garden for the woman he brought back last time, but in that matter, his two children were at fault, and there was no news of Nancy and Jiang Lin's engagement. To make it public, he did not take the position of accusing Jiang Lin as his father-in-law.

So this time, he had to count them back together.

He wanted to see if Lenn, who he had watched and grown up since childhood, really dared to disobey him for the sake of the woman in front of him!

Between the sky and the earth, only the shadows of the trees are moving in the breeze.

In the silence, Duan Zijin saw the man turn around slowly, walked to him, raised his hand to stroke her hair, and asked softly, "Why do you have to save it?"

He asked this question—he really hesitated.

Duan Zijin's heart twitched, and the emotion in his eyes was very cold, "You want to kill it?"

"I ask you, why do you have to save it." Jiang Lin stared quietly into her eyes.

He knows this woman too well. If there is no reason why she must be saved, she will put the overall situation first, and she will not embarrass him.

But her sudden insistence made him feel very wrong.If there is a reason that must be saved...

"Then why do you want to kill it?" Duan Zijin asked without answering, and met the man's gaze, and asked slowly and forcefully in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly, "To win Tang Jichi, for these two The Duke's words, or to avenge your fiancée?"

The man's eyes didn't move at all, and he asked lightly, "Which one do you prefer?"

Duan Zijin's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately, he raised a smile, "Accept?"

Her smile gradually turned into sarcasm and mockery, "So you are telling me that I can only accept your decision and cannot change it?"

"Yuyou." The man suddenly grabbed her wrist, held it very hard, and lifted his thin lips, but his smile was flat to cold, "Tang Jichi can give up winning or losing for you, do you think I can't do it?"

"You can do it." Duan Zijin pointed out sharply, "Since you can do it, then you want to kill it because of one of the last two reasons?"

The man's black eyes darkened step by step, until her wrist was about to be crushed by him, and he said lightly, "I can't ignore the Jiang family."

Although he has been away from home for several years, blood is thicker than water after all, not to mention that the crow knows how to feed back, and the Jiang family has raised him for 24 years.

"I understand, Jiang Lin, I understand." Duan Zijin lowered his eyes, looking at the little guy who was dying in his arms, "But, Nancy hurt her hand, you have already hit its hind leg, it's still not venting ?”

The man's eyebrows darkened, and it took him a long time before he said, "This shot was shot before she was bitten."

"What?" Duan Zijin was stunned.

"Because I didn't kill it, Nancy also tried to kill it when she went to pick up the prey, but I stopped it."

Duan Zijin followed his words and took what he hadn't finished, with a slightly surprised tone, "Is she hurt because you didn't kill it?"

"Yes."

"Why are you……"

Duan Zijin only asked half of what she said, and all the voices stopped abruptly in her throat. She saw the man's gaze as calm as a mountain, light but heavy, "Why do you say?"

Because he promised her that he would not kill unless it was absolutely necessary.

Duan Zijin was overwhelmed by his heavy gaze, moved by his keeping his promise, but wanted to ask him, since he promised her not to kill, what is now, is it a time of last resort?

The man seemed to have exhausted his patience on this issue as well. He put his hands into the pockets of his camouflage uniform, with imperceptible impetuousness floating between his brows, "Yuyou, I'm beginning to regret that I didn't kill it with a single shot."

That's why this situation was created.

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. When these words reached Duan Zijin's ears, they were like a raging fire, burning her whole nerves.

If he killed it with one shot, it would not be Nancy's hand that would be injured, but her life.

"Lenn." A slightly tangled voice interrupted the gradually cold silence between them.

Duan Zijin turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Jiangnan standing not far away with a face full of shame, hesitating on his feet, and he was about to come over.

She immediately understood what he was going to do, her eyes turned cold, and before Jiang Lin could speak, she said, "Your cousin and I still have something to say, we'll talk about your business later."

Jiang Nan was startled, but Tang Jichi stood in front of him with a wheelchair. Jiang Nan frowned, and asked him in a low voice, "I want to go and explain the truth, why did you stop me?"

"Your truth won't help anyone, it will only make the situation more chaotic." Tang Jichi said to the point, "Do you think she's just trying to protect you?"

Jiang Nan stared blankly over there, the woman closed her brown eyes slightly, and finally sent the little guy in her arms out.

The man in the wheelchair said in a deep voice: "If you tell the truth, your cousin will definitely follow her wishes, even if it goes against the wishes of all the elders, do you understand?"

"Is this bad?" Jiang Nan still didn't understand, "Does she not want to save that wild squirrel?"

"She wants to save." Tang Jichi frowned, with a shallow and clear smile on his lips, "But she was reluctant to let your cousin fall into an inhumane situation because of her own thoughts, so you don't want to Do you understand?"

Loud gunshots exploded in the air.

The woman turned around the moment she fired the gun. She stood up straight, and no one saw her trembling shoulders and the tears quietly sliding down her face.
