The man's mellow voice had a strange hint of boredom, as if he was sulking, and there was also a vague sour smell.
Qiao Muxue took the phone away from her ear and glanced at the time display on the screen: 18:05.
Then he bit his lower lip secretly: usually at this time, it was the time for him to go home. He also remembered that when he sent her to the hospital for work in the morning, he heard a call from his mother asking her to go on a blind date.
Could it be that he made this call because he didn't see her at home?
She lowered her voice and said softly, "I'll be back soon..."
The man was a little stubborn and asked again in a cold voice, "Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Qiao Muxue bit her lower lip again. His persistence made her hesitate. Her mother was still here. If he came over and let her see her, trouble might start again——
Ever since the scandal spread that her brother was his father's illegitimate son six years ago, her mother has refused to see her brother again. She really doesn't have the courage to let him meet her mother again in this chaotic situation.
She raised her eyes uneasily and glanced at her mother, who was still sitting quietly at the dining table, and whispered to the man on the phone in an awkward tone, "Brother, don't be like this, my heart is so messed up -"
Qiao Zhengyan's heart felt as if it had been severely burned by a hot iron, and there was an uncontrollable pain in his chest that spread uncontrollably. His deep voice was immediately tainted with deep self-blame, "I'm sorry.
, Xiaoxue, it's my fault, I'm not qualified to give you happiness... Just hang up, I won't ask again! Maybe Nie Yuye is right, I am destroying you..."
Qiao Muxue could hear his depressed mood at the moment, and her chest also became a little dull. As a last resort, she surrendered and weakly reported the address of the restaurant, "But you have to be mentally prepared. Things are not what you think.
That’s how——”
The man's cotton-wound and low voice came over clearly with high emotions, "Qiao Muxue, I want to see you! No matter good or bad, I can bear it, as long as I can see you..."
Qiao Muxue slowly closed her eyes: If this is a fate destined to be inescapable, then come on! Before the death row prisoner leaves this world, he will at least have a full meal to eat! She and her brother still have time before this
Squandering the only happiness they have.
Another wave of radio waves:
On the school training field at the beginning of night, Qiao Zhengyan was talking on the phone in a low voice while kicking on his black military leather shoes and striding toward the parking lot outside the barracks with "thump thump thump..."——
Chen Li chased after him from behind and said in surprise, "Chief, what are you—" Where are you going?
However, before he finished asking, the car keys in his hand had been snatched away. Two sharp "beeps" sounded in the large and empty underground parking lot. Qiao Zhengyan had already unlocked the car.
Electronic lock, then reached out to open the driver's seat door, followed by a "bang" sound, slammed the door, and then hurriedly drove out of the parking lot with a "swish" sound!
Chen Li stayed in place for two seconds, then quickly caught up with him, "Chief, wait for me -"
But he only had time to see two shining and dazzling car taillights, flashing red light, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace...
What happened to make the chief leave in such a hurry? But why did he actually see an unconcealable smile on the chief's lips, as if he had something happy?

In the restaurant, Qiao Muxue put away her mobile phone and opened her eyes again. When she suddenly saw Nie Yuye standing in front of her with a serious face, she was so frightened that she almost dropped her mobile phone to the ground! "You - what are you doing here?..."
Nie Yuye looked at her in confusion and said quietly, "Xiaoxue, are you tired? Do you want to cry?"
"..." Qiao Muxue had a pale face and took two steps back in shock: she knew that Nie Yuye heard the content of the call between her and her brother, and also saw her confused and panicky mood.
Nie Yuye stared at her with a sad look, stretched out his long arm to grab her retreating figure, "Come back... don't be afraid, I won't do anything to hurt you..."
Qiao Muxue looked at him without blinking with frightened eyes, shaking her head silently. She didn't know if she wanted to say that she wouldn't go through, or that she didn't believe that he wouldn't do anything to hurt her?
Nie Yuye sighed softly, and suddenly secretly used his strength to close his arms, and immediately pulled her fleeing figure into his arms, "Be obedient... Aunt Song is still here, do you want her to know something she shouldn't know?"
"..." Qiao Muxue finally realized that this man would not pose any danger to her. She timidly raised her head in his arms, "But my brother is coming over, and I can't stop him——
"
Nie Yuye was startled by these soft and timid words, but then a smile of surprise appeared on her thin face: This was the first time she had confided in him. She put down her guard and asked him for help trustingly.
He held his big hand on her waist with a little force, forcing her scattered consciousness back, and a cold voice sounded slowly and powerfully in her ears, "Trust me, follow me, okay?"
"..." Qiao Muxue stared blankly at the familiar and handsome face in front of her. For the first time, she actually wanted to let herself believe in him?
Not far away, at the dining table by the window, Song Simin looked at Nie Yuye and her daughter walking over with a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth rising wider and wider...
When he picked up the handbag he had put on the seat next to him and stood up, he asked Nie Yuye casually, "Xiao Nie, is it very cold in Beijing now? Is everything okay, Mr. Nie and the others?"
Nie Yuye was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately replied, "Very good. My dad has been saying that he is tired of staying in Beijing and wants to find a chance to go to City A! I don't know when Aunt Song will be free. I'll give it another day
Parents come here, I will ask them to visit you..."
Song Simin was so happy that she said several good words in a row, "Okay, okay... I'm usually in the logistics department, there's nothing important."
Nie Yuye thought for a while and asked humbly, "Does Aunt Song have any other plans for next Saturday?"
Song Simin only pondered for a while, then immediately decided, "Then next Saturday." Turning around, she said to Qiao Muxue, "Xiaoxue, you should come back early next Saturday too."
Qiao Muxue looked at her mother and Nie Yuye in surprise, who were going back and forth as if they were talking in code: She didn't know why, but she suddenly had a bad premonition?
However, Nie Yuye squeezed her hand very hard, as if to tell her: Believe in him and follow him, and everything she was worried about would not happen. She suppressed her worried look and agreed in a low voice, "
knew……"
Song Simin smiled with satisfaction, her kind and gratified eyes lingering on Nie Yuye again and again: What a good child! If I had known better, I should have promised my daughter to the Nie family earlier, then that incident would not have happened six years ago.
The absurd love between brother and sister! This huge scandal almost overturned their entire family!
The woman's face that she could never let go of appeared in her mind again, and a sharp pain inevitably flashed through her heart: Xia Lingwei, why are you pestering me so hard? I have endured the pain.
My husband gave me up, do I need to give up my daughter as well?...

Century mansion.
A magnificent imitation platinum painted luxury door plaque. A black Land Rover as dark as night was parked on the road opposite. On the half-lowered car window, there was a faint flickering red light flickering in the wind.
With.
Qiao Zhengyan's eyebrows were deeply furrowed. He raised the cigarette between his fingers to his lips and took a deep breath. There was a heavy thought flowing slowly in his deep, ink-like eyes: the dark night, the charming and enchanting neon lights in the north wind.
It blew and swayed back and forth, confusing his eyes, and even his heart seemed to be restlessly confused?
He raised his head thoughtfully and cast his distant gaze at the window on his apartment floor - there was no light in the room. She hadn't gone home yet. She turned over her wrist and glanced at the hands on the watch. It was already ten o'clock at night.
It's past one o'clock, where will she go?
After calling her in the army, he drove his Hummer in the army straight to the military airport...
I rushed to the restaurant she mentioned as quickly as possible, but was told that she had already left.
It took more than three hours to get from the station to City C. He thought she couldn't wait for him to come and went home on her own. However, when he hurried home, the dark home was completely cold! There was no trace of her presence at all.
The breath!
…
In the cold car, Qiao Zhengyan frowned, put out the cigarette butt in his hand with a cold expression, and blew out a puff of smoke: He had been waiting for her in the car for two full hours, and his patience had long been exhausted.
Just as he was about to take the mobile phone on the shelf in front of the bed and call her, a car slowly drove over on the opposite road——
Qiao Zhengyan stared and took a closer look, but suddenly he lifted it up in one breath. It turned out to be Nie Yuye's car!
Apparently, Nie Yuye made a special trip to escort Qiao Muxue home. The door on the outside of the road was pushed open. Nie Yuye, who was in the driver's seat, got out of the car diligently and walked around to the door on the other side. He opened the door beside the passenger seat very gentlemanly.
car door——
Qiao Muxue was unbuttoning her seat belt. When Nie Yuye said it was broken, she thought he was teasing her on purpose. How could he, a great dean, not have someone to take care of his car? It was broken.
The spare parts must be replaced in time.
But she didn't expect that this was true. She spent several minutes in a daze, but she still didn't untie the stubborn belt.
Nie Yuye smiled understandingly, bent down, and reached into the car to help her...
Qiao Zhengyan thought that Qiao Muxue only got out of the car to say goodbye to Nie Yuye and then went upstairs to go home. His hand reached out to the car door handle, ready to push it open and get out of the car.
His eyes only wandered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, he suddenly discovered that half of Nie Yuye's body had leaned into the passenger seat, leaning down his face, and his black head covered Qiao Muxue's entire face...
Qiao Zhengyan's movement to push the car door froze in mid-air: Are they kissing?
