It wasn't until Li Tianlan's figure without looking back disappeared from the gate of Building 1 that Qin Weibai took a breath, took a step forward with some difficulty, and then slowly walked into the gate of Building 1.
The interaction between the two was brief, but unusual.
This is an abnormality that makes almost everyone feel that something is wrong.
Most of the time, no matter where he is, who is in front of him, or what the occasion is, Qin Weibai's attention will be unconsciously focused on Li Tianlan most of the time, with a gentleness that makes all men amazed.
.
And in the interaction between the two people, even the unconscious movements can reveal a very subtle intimacy.
But now, this intimacy is gone.
Qin Weibai's gentleness seemed to be replaced by a kind of panic and fear. His whole person looked timid, giving everyone an extremely unfamiliar feeling of weakness.
Han Xinyan glanced at Qin Weibai cautiously.
She also noticed the weirdness of the atmosphere at this moment, but for some reason, there was no so-called secret joy in her heart.
She does have some restless thoughts, but this is an inevitable and normal development.
From Han Donglou's only daughter to Li Tianlan's personal secretary, her life is enough to make most women jealous and she is destined to have a arrogant vision, which has nothing to do with personal ability.
And such a life is difficult to define in terms of so-called happiness or unhappiness. To be precise, it should be a destination.
Maybe Han Xinyan will find a man who he doesn't like very much, but who likes her more than anything else. He will be gentle, low-key, and honest. The two of them will form a family where the woman is the leader outside and the man is the leader inside. Han Xinyan is responsible for the outside world.
During all the storms, her husband stayed at home to guard the warmest harbor for her.
Such an ending may also lead to peace and joy.
But the premise is that Li Tianlan or someone of the opposite sex like Li Tianlan will not appear.
A strong, indifferent person of the opposite sex who is willing to teach her power and never doubts her but can dominate his life, her body and her heart.
Women like Han Xinyan simply cannot resist such a man.
This is not love, at least not now.
But as she stayed with Li Tianlan for longer and longer, Han Xinyan's tendency and desire to be dominated by Li Tianlan gradually became more obvious.
She instinctively wanted to get more, not only the power and trust that Li Tianlan gave her, she also wanted the tenderness that Li Tianlan gave her. If possible, she would also be very willing to get another child.
So her performance in the Eastern Palace began to become more and more obvious.
He even challenged Qin Weibai's authority in some aspects that he knew Qin Weibai would not care about, cautiously tested, and patiently consolidated his position, and his autonomy became stronger and stronger.
But the core motivation of all this is that Han Xinyan hopes that Li Tianlan can conquer her, or she wants to show Qin Weibai that she is qualified to stand beside Li Tianlan with her.
Her temptations, and even her obviously cowardly but persistent provocation to Qin Weibai at certain times, were all for this purpose.
Nowadays, there is a well-behaved and quiet Huangfu Qiushui in the East Palace.
But even before Huangfu Qiushui entered the East Palace, Qin Weibai was not lonely in the East Palace because of Han Xinyan.
The relationship between this pair of women, who seemed to have a very good relationship as sisters, seemed to be very harmonious, but where Li Tianlan didn't notice, Han Xinyan was beaten time and again by Qin Weibai, sometimes without even bothering to find a reason.
The more Han Xinyan fought, the more courageous and timid she became. Every time she provoked, she obediently accepted Qin Weibai's punishment. If Li Tianlan could discover this in advance, he would probably find it very interesting.
And this series of events has already explained Han Xinyan's positioning of herself.
She longs for more warmth from Li Tianlan, even if this warmth is irresistible.
But she wants to completely suppress Qin Weibai...
Even if she was crazy, she didn't think she would have such ambition.
She thought she understood the relationship between Qin Weibai and Li Tianlan very well. Han Xinyan couldn't describe the feeling, but she was sure that with such a relationship, there would be no problems between Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai, but once
If a problem does arise, it cannot be a trivial matter.
But now, a problem has arisen.
Li Tianlan's indifference is just a sign, but it means something more behind it.
This looks like an opportunity for Han Xinyan to take advantage of the situation.
But looking at the helpless Qin Weibai, Han Xinyan, who thought she should be happy, was filled with extremely cold fear.
This fear comes from understanding.
It is precisely because of understanding that Han Xinyan firmly believes that Li Tianlan with Qin Weibai by his side and Li Tianlan without Qin Weibai are completely different.
When Qin Weibai is with Li Tianlan, Li Tianlan can be the Eastern Emperor, the genius, or any identity, but in the final analysis, for a certain period of time, he will be a normal man, even a role similar to a husband.
Qin Weibai is like the anchor in Li Tianlan's emotional world, always stabilizing his attitude.
And when this anchor disappears, Li Tianlan without Qin Weibai will probably only change in two directions, either becoming a soulless walking corpse, or turning into a beast without any emotion.
If it's the former, then all her desires will be meaningless.
If it is the latter, then even if she is conquered by Li Tianlan, she will not become his woman. She will only become Li Tianlan's plaything, the kind who will be kicked away without any nostalgia when he gets tired of playing with her.
Other women may have the confidence to replace Qin Weibai and become the anchor in Li Tianlan's emotional world.
Han Xinyan didn't know how to evaluate how ignorant this kind of confidence was, but she definitely didn't have this confidence.
"I..."
When he was about to enter the gate of Building 1, Han Xinyan suddenly spoke.
Her voice went unnoticed.
So Han Xinyan spoke again: "That...sister..."
She took Qin Weibai's hand.
Qin Weibai turned around and looked at her silently, without any focus in his eyes.
Han Xinyan's heart sank, and she forced a smile and said: "Well, it suddenly occurred to me that there are some things. I need to take a look at some of our properties in Lin'an and have a meeting by the way, so..."
She hesitantly said: "I won't go in that way, you and Your Majesty need to have a good time..."
She grabbed Qin Weibai's palm and exerted force unconsciously: "You must do it well..."
Qin Weibai looked at her.
This is Han Xinyan.
She looks very aggressive, likes to provoke, and is a little restless, but in essence, Han Xinyan is always timid and will never know how to advance or retreat when it is time to give in.
Qin Weibai reluctantly showed a smile and said softly: "It's okay."
"Well, it's okay."
Han Xinyan nodded vigorously and seriously.
She took a few steps back, said hello to Dongcheng Wudi and Dongcheng Qiuchi, and then drove away Dongcheng Wudi's black car with a special license plate in an almost aggressive manner.
Dongcheng Wudi and Dongcheng Qiuchi looked at each other, and they both looked at Qin Weibai's back.
Qin Weibai walked into the door.
Dongcheng Qiuchi hesitated slightly and said softly: "Dad, there is something wrong with Tianlan's condition."
"What a coincidence."
Dongcheng Wudi, who had some complicated thoughts, said: "Xiao Bai's state is also a bit wrong."
"What's going on..."
Dongcheng Qiuchi's tone was a little worried: "I asked Tianlan, but he didn't say anything."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head.
Li Tianlan just called him dad.
This was enough to make Dongcheng Wudi's ecstatic address combined with the state between the young couple make Dongcheng Wudi's mood even more complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Dongcheng Wudi sighed: "How can a young couple not quarrel? The relationship between the two is here, no matter how big the problem is, how big can it be? Just give some advice, no matter how serious it is, it won't be like me.
Just like your mother."
Dongcheng Qiuchi's heart moved slightly, as if he thought of something.
"Um?"
Dongcheng Wudi looked at his daughter: "What do you know?"
"Dad, what do you know?"
Dongcheng Qiuchi suddenly asked back.
Dongcheng Wudi touched his chin: "When we were in the car, Xiaobai said that she did something wrong and made Tianlan angry, but I didn't really believe it."
Dongcheng Qiuchi was silent for a while and said thoughtfully: "Maybe this is true..."
She frowned slightly: "When you guys weren't here, Tian Lan mentioned Xiao Yue'er to me...
And during the Chinese New Year, Tian Lan seemed to have expressed his desire to have a child with Xiao Bai. It was obvious that Tian Lan really wanted to have a child with Xiao Bai..."
Dongcheng Wudi's expression changed. He had already guessed what his daughter was going to say.
Dongcheng Qiuchi said it directly: "Could it be that... Xiaobai was pregnant, but she didn't want the child, so she secretly aborted the child, so..."
Dongcheng Wudi was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized: "What are you thinking about? Tianlan disappeared in Annan, and he didn't see Xiaobai. Even if what you said is true, how did Tianlan know? The key is still him.
What happened during the past few days when I was missing..."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head, took his daughter up the steps and walked into the living room.
In the living room, Li Tianlan sat quietly, with his head lowered and looking at the coffee table in front of him, his eyes unfocused.
Qin Weibai, who should normally be sitting next to Li Tianlan, was sitting in the corner of the sofa and said carefully: "Where have you been these past few days... I'm very worried about you...
"
That voice, that demeanor, that tone, she sounded like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.
Li Tianlan raised his head and glanced at Qin Weibai. His tone was a little erratic, but on the whole he remained calm: "I've actually been in Lin'an all along."
After a pause, he continued: "In Xihu."
Qin Weibai pursed his lips and said softly: "Why did you appear in Xihu? What happened at that time? You have disappeared for seven days..."
"Seven days..."
Li Tianlan murmured to himself and suddenly laughed: "I don't know how much time has passed, but I have indeed been staying in Xihu, on the island in the middle of the lake. There are several tombstones there... If you really want to say
What did I do, I went to guard the tomb? With a few children."
The blood on Qin Weibai's face disappeared instantly.
The corners of her glossy but pale lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say a word.
She looked at Li Tianlan with extremely frightened eyes.
She had just watched Li Dongcheng's life with Kuangtu Li not long ago.
After reading it, Kuangtu Li forgot all the causes and consequences, leaving only a psychological hint, so he gave up easily.
Qin Weibai, on the other hand, had forgotten the cause and effect of that incident, but she still remembered everything she saw.
The tomb on the island in the middle of Xihu Lake.
how many kids...
Qin Weibai's body was trembling slightly.
"Sit down."
Li Tianlan stood up calmly: "I'll get you a glass of water."
"No, no need."
Qin Weibai stood up in panic: "I'll do it myself. What do you want to drink? Can you drink tea? I...I'll make tea for you. Do you want to eat fruit? I'll cut it..."
Li Tianlan glanced at her: "No, I'll just come. You are a guest, this is not what you should do."
You are a guest.
guest...
Qin Weibai's body shook violently, his eyes turned red, and he burst into tears: "I'm not a guest, I'll go, okay?"
She looked at Li Tianlan with tears in her eyes, her tone pleading.
Li Tianlan stood still and did not move.
Qin Weibai wiped his tears carelessly, turned around and walked towards the refrigerator.
She walked into the kitchen with some fruit.
The light sound of cutting fruit soon sounded in the kitchen.
Li Tianlan still stood there, his eyes falling on the kitchen, looking at Qin Weibai's back through the window.
He didn't move, just looked at it, and kept looking at it.
