Chapter 54

Hearing Yan Mingyao's calm and anxious voice on the phone, Zhuang Ling withdrew his thoughts, and turned his gaze to Leng Yichen worriedly. What happened in the company that made Yan Mingyao so anxious?

Naturally, Leng Yichen also heard Yan Mingyao's words on the phone, a trace of doubt flashed by, and from the corner of his eye he caught sight of the newspaper in Zhuang Ling's hand, and another flash of complexity flashed by.Although he didn't know what was said in the newspaper, it was impossible for Leng Yichen to misread such a large photo.

Was she so absent-minded just now because she saw the news about Mu Jingfeng in the newspaper?

Hand, can't help clenching slightly.

Don't think about it, he can probably guess one or two things about the contents of the newspaper.Slowly close your eyes to cover up all kinds of complications.

"Yichen, why didn't you answer the phone?"

Zhuang Ling, who was leaning against Leng Yichen's arms, didn't notice the look in Leng Yichen's eyes, but asked suspiciously about Leng Yichen who hadn't moved for a long time.And there is that trace of worry that is getting worse.

Leng Yichen took a slight breath, turned his gaze away, turned sideways, and raised the phone in his hand to his ear, "What's the matter?"

"President," Yan Mingyao paused slightly, "The bid amount exceeded the budget."

As soon as Yan Mingyao said it, Leng Yichen knew what was going on. After being a little surprised, he frowned slightly, and said calmly, "How much more?"

"Exceeded [-] million."

Yan Mingyao told Leng Yichen all the things, "Now the bid has been obtained, but the company can't transfer so much cash for turnover at present."

"This matter..." Leng Yichen wanted to say, 'I'll talk about this matter when I go back. 'But in vain I remembered that the purpose of coming out this time was to stay away from City A, so, go back now...

Pressing down the second half of the sentence abruptly, Leng Yichen clenched his hands and turned off the phone.

Hearing the busy tone of 'beep beep...' from the mobile phone, Yan Mingyao called back again and again in doubt, but it turned into a shutdown.How should this matter be handled?
Yan Mingyao put down his phone in trouble, and went to the company.

"Yi Chen, what happened?"

Because Leng Yichen avoided it on purpose, Zhuang Ling only heard part of it intermittently, but since she knew nothing about business, she couldn't put together the few words she heard, and she could sort out what happened completely. .He could only turn his suspicious eyes to Leng Yichen.

"It's nothing." Leng Yichen pursed his lips, pressing heavily on the bottom of his heart, looking at Zhuang Ling's eyes still looking calm and gentle, "You haven't answered me just now, where are we going next?"

"Yichen..."

"Lingling, tell me, how about we go to ancient Rome next?" Without waiting for Zhuang Ling to answer, Leng Yichen said again, "If you like domestic scenic spots and historical sites, then I think you will like ancient Rome too. With the most glorious history of ancient Rome,..."

"Yichen, do you have something to hide from me?"

"What can I hide from you?" Leng Yichen turned his gaze away, and the voice came out after a while.

"Then, why were we in such a hurry to leave that day?"

This was the doubt that had lingered in Zhuang Ling's mind the morning he left City A.In the past two months, she was so carefree that she forgot the situation when she left that day, but now that she thinks about it, Leng Yichen couldn't refuse that day, it seemed that she had to leave City A immediately and immediately.

The word 'escape' flashed through Zhuang Ling's mind.

Yes, it is to escape.

Thinking about it this way, I can connect all the things together.

Zhuang Ling was very sure that Leng Yichen was avoiding City A.

But, what exactly is he escaping from City A?

The vague uneasiness radiated from Leng Yichen, even if Zhuang Ling wanted to ignore it.

"Lingling..."

"Yi Chen," Zhuang Ling suddenly interrupted Leng Yichen's planned explanation, "Yi Chen, aren't we husband and wife? Tell me, what is it?" No matter what it is, she believes that she can go with him face.Escaping is never the answer to a problem.

Looking at Leng Yichen's profile turned away on purpose, Zhuang Ling knew his answer, but he was unwilling to say, "Don't you still believe me?" His soft voice was slightly hurt.

"Lingling, why don't I believe you?"

Leng Yichen was disappointed, but, no matter what, he couldn't let her know about it.

"Then, let's go back to City A now." Looking into Leng Yichen's dark eyes, Zhuang Ling knew that he had made a decision and would never change it.Then, go back to City A. Only by going back to City A can all the mysteries be solved.

What's more, Yan Mingyao said something happened to the company, so how could they not rush back as soon as possible.

"Back to City A?" Leng Yichen's hands froze slightly, and he smiled as if nothing had happened, "Didn't I tell you I'm fine, besides, aren't the two of us very happy here?"

"Yichen, let's go back to City A. Yan Mingyao said just now that something happened to the company." Zhuang Ling couldn't figure out what Leng Yichen was escaping from, nor did she know what happened to the company, but she knew they must Want to go back, "Yichen, let's go back."

Zhuang Ling looked at Leng Yichen and said again.

"Didn't I tell you not to go back?" Leng Yichen's voice gradually became heavier.

"Let's go back." Seeing Leng Yichen's obvious resistance, Zhuang Ling knew that this matter was no small matter.Could it be that they can never go back for the rest of their lives? What about the company?What about relatives?
Leng Yichen hugged Zhuang Ling's hand, and slowly slipped it down, all kinds of complexities settled into a bottomless indifference in his eyes, "You are in such a hurry to go back, is it because of me? Or is it because of the newspaper? What's more, you are doing it for Mu Jingfeng?"

The fear that had been lurking all along, but was suppressed by force, swept Leng Yichen's mind boundlessly the moment Zhuang Ling said that he was going back to City A.

From the last time when Zhuang Ling said that he was the only one in his heart, it was the happiest and most secure life he had ever lived.

Unprecedented warmth surrounded him, so that he no longer had to worry or be afraid of everything.

However, on the day Zhuang Huifan came back, the slightest uneasiness emerged again.But he hid it well, and Zhuang Ling didn't notice it at all.

He is happy.

He is happy.

He is at ease.

However, everything was based on the premise that Zhuang Ling didn't know what happened back then.

If she knew, would all this still exist?

Sometimes he also thought that if he told Zhuang Ling all this, maybe she would forgive him.

However, that is just 'not necessarily'.

What if she doesn't forgive.

Mu Jingfeng hurt her back then, she could push him out of her life decisively.If she knew how he hurt her, wouldn't she hate herself?

He didn't dare, he didn't dare to take that 'one in ten thousand forgiveness' as a bet.

He can't afford to gamble.

He has already tasted the taste of heaven, if he is sent to hell now, he will die.

he will die.

When Zhuang Ling said to return to City A again, Leng Yichen could no longer suppress the panic in his heart.Without thinking about it, he spit it out in a panic.Leng Yichen realized what he said when he saw Zhuang Ling's eyes widen suddenly.

It wasn't his intention, no.

Leng Yichen closed his eyes in pain, he didn't know how he could say such a thing, he just...

"Yichen, you..." Zhuang Ling looked at Leng Yichen in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the words just now came out of his mouth. The newspaper slipped from his hand without knowing it. Obviously hurt, "Yi Chen, how have I been to you for so long, don't you believe it? How can you say such a thing?"

"I, Lingling..." The sentence of 'I'm sorry' came to an abrupt end when I saw the dazzling photo on the newspaper that fell to the ground, choking in my throat, I couldn't say anything, and the sneer couldn't stop from the corners of my eyes , and the pain has long since dissipated, as if this is the only way to disguise his bottomless panic, "Then, we won't go back to City A, then, you can prove to me that it's not what I said."

"Lingling, let's not go back to City A, okay?" Under the tough disguise, there was a slight trace of untraceable prayer.

Zhuang Ling clenched his palms tightly to suppress the trembling.Did he know that something happened to the company, how could he escape outside? The Leng Yichen she knew very well was never a person who escaped.

"Yichen, let's go back."

The calm voice, only Zhuang Ling knew how much effort he had used to spit it out.

There was a deep self-mockery in the corner of his eyes. It turned out that no matter how much I begged her, she...does she know that, if she goes back, it means that he will lose her..."Zhuang Ling, do you know that I love you love you?" It's been so hard, so disturbing, so scary..."

In an instant, the bought water in his hand fell to the ground, and even the mobile phone was thrown out by Leng Yichen with a shattering sound.

heavy.

Repressed.

Scared.

Wait, wait, everything is so heavy that he has to be careful even when breathing, and even wake up from his sleep to see if Zhuang Ling in his arms is still there.To be on guard against everyone is to fear that what I did three years ago will be made public.

"Zhuang Ling, I love you so much."

He closed his eyes in vain, and also closed the uncontrollable dryness in his eyes.

"Yichen." Zhuang Ling had never heard Leng Yichen call her by her full name.Even on the first day they met, he stubbornly called her 'Ling Ling' and never changed his words.

But at this moment, Leng Yichen's expression made her feel scared.

And that sentence 'so tired' made Zhuang Ling's heart tremble uncontrollably.

Unconsciously, Zhuang Ling stepped forward to hold Leng Yichen's hand, "Yichen."

"Do you want to go back to City A or follow me to Ancient Rome?"

Letting Zhuang Ling hold his hand, Leng Yichen didn't take it back for the first time, his voice was so calm that it almost looked cold.

"Yi Chen, let's go back to City A, if there is anything we can face together."

"Facing it together?" Leng Yichen slowly repeated these four words, with grief and hopelessness that Zhuang Ling had never seen in his eyes.

Opening Zhuang Ling's fingers inch by inch, Leng Yichen backed away step by step, "I'm afraid you'd like me to disappear before your eyes."

"Yichen?" Zhuang Ling was extremely disturbed by Leng Yichen's expression, and Zhuang Ling was extremely surprised by Leng Yichen's words.She really didn't understand how he could say such a thing.

"Lingling, let me ask you again, do you want to go back to City A, or go to ancient Rome with me?"

"Okay, okay." Seeing Zhuang Ling's silent expression, Leng Yichen backed up repeatedly, turned around, and left in despair without looking back.If he stays any longer, he will be overwhelmed by the increasingly heavy uneasiness... If he stays any longer, he is afraid that Zhuang Ling will say he will go back to City A again... If he stays any longer, he doesn't know Can I still refuse her request...

escape.

just want to escape...

Maybe in this way, I won't hear Zhuang Ling's determination to return to City A, see Zhuang Ling's hateful eyes after knowing the truth, and won't have the hopelessness of losing everything...

"Yichen—" At the moment when Zhuang Ling was silent, Leng Yichen had already stepped out of Zhuang Ling's sight. When Zhuang Ling was about to raise his foot to chase after him, a fast-moving car suddenly blocked Zhuang Ling. footsteps.

Zhuang Ling took a step back, waited until the car passed by, and raised his eyes to see where Leng Yichen was.

Zhuang Ling was in a panic, and Leng Yichen's expression when he left just now made Zhuang Ling's worried heart ache a little. "Yi Chen—"

Over and over again, Zhuang Ling kept looking for Leng Yichen's figure.

But no.

There was no sign of Leng Yichen.

Standing in this strange city, Zhuang Ling suddenly felt lonely and terrified in the streets full of people and people passing by.

Night came quietly.

Stubbornly staying at the place where he left just now, regardless of the cold wind in the middle of the night, Zhuang Ling believed that Leng Yichen would definitely come back, how could he be willing to abandon himself.

Just, what the hell happened?

Zhuang Ling was almost certain that Leng Yichen was not emotional because he answered the phone call, but because he saw the photo in the newspaper.With such a glance, it is impossible for him to know the contents of the newspaper. Then, there is only one explanation, and he knows everything.

On the morning when he left City A, Leng Yichen said that the phone call belonged to him, but he didn't miss it. He was standing by the side of his bed in a daze.Maybe that phone call was his own after all.

And how could he accidentally knock over the glass of water in vain?

Zhuang Ling recalled the situation along the way, and there was nothing different, except that he didn't seem to have contacted the outside world once.Even when he said he wanted to call his parents, he was interrupted by Leng Yichen for various reasons.

What is there in City A that Leng Yichen should spare no effort to escape from?

It was just a photo that caused Leng Yichen's reaction. Could it be related to Mu Jingfeng?What exactly did Li Yan use to make Mu Jingfeng abandon the bride on the spot, he doesn't look like that kind of person who pushes his own way?

Everything, because Leng Yichen was involved, Zhuang Ling had to figure it out.If you don't figure it out now, and accidentally touch this matter again in the future, do you want to watch Leng Yichen disappear in front of you again?

And what happened when Leng Yichen said that he wished he would disappear before his eyes?

Zhuang Ling had to feel the seriousness of the situation.

City A, I must go back.

Moreover, she would never leave Leng Yichen alone and go back alone.

No matter what it is, she will tell him that she will always be with him.

...Never give up.

The cold wind in the middle of the night was unusually cold and biting.

Zhuang Ling couldn't help shivering slightly in the wind, and his gums trembled slightly.

Yichen, where are you?
The wind, mixed with little snowflakes, flew up.

The night is getting colder and colder.

"Lingling?"

In the wind, Leng Yichen's anxious and worried voice came.

Zhuang Ling turned around in disbelief.

that one person.

Standing quietly on the other side of the street.

Looking back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.

A trace of water vapor touched Zhuang Ling's eyes, and Zhuang Ling wiped it away vigorously, fearing that the trace of mist would blur his vision of him.

He really came back.

She knew he wouldn't leave her alone.

Standing stiffly in the cold wind, Zhuang Ling still couldn't stop Zhuang Ling from walking towards Leng Yichen.

"Lingling, be careful."

A car passed by.

Zhuang Ling felt a gust of cold wind whizzing by, and suddenly, he bumped into his broad chest.The breath was immediately filled with a fresh smell.The eye sockets became more and more red.

"Damn you."

Buried his head in Leng Yichen's chest, hugging Leng Yichen tightly, his uneasy and fearful heart finally calmed down.

"Yes, I'm damned."

Leng Yichen's stiff hands stroked Zhuang Ling's hair covered with snowflakes, he hated himself for making trouble this afternoon.He knew that Zhuang Ling didn't mean that, but he was too scared.

That's why...

The moment he turned around and couldn't see Zhuang Ling, boundless panic engulfed him.

How could he... how could he...

"Lingling, it's all my fault."

"How could you leave me alone, do you know how scared I am?" Zhuang Ling didn't even dare to think at this moment, what would she do if Leng Yichen didn't find her.

She loves him.

Unknowingly, her love for him had already been deeply planted.

It wasn't until Leng Yichen turned and left just now that she realized how deep her love for him was.

So deep that she couldn't imagine what she would do if Leng Yichen left her one day.

If there is no Leng Yichen, then her world will collapse with a bang.

"Lingling, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." On the street corner with an unfamiliar city, in the middle of the night, in the cold wind, Leng Yichen hugged Zhuang Ling tightly into his arms, protecting her from the cold wind and snow. , over and over again, expressing an indescribable apology.

——Lingling, I'm sorry, the more you love, the more you fear losing.My world is already in panic, and I don't know what to do next.

Can you tell me what should I do?
"Yichen, don't leave me again, okay?"

Maybe Mu Jingfeng and Li Yan's betrayal back then brought despair, not as helpless as the fear that Leng Yichen suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes at that moment just now.

"Lingling, if you find out that I have done a lot of wrong things, you must know that I just love you so much, I can't live without you."

"Yichen, can you tell me, what happened?" Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Ling asked again in a low voice.Holding Leng Yichen tightly in his hand, while speaking, he was afraid that he would turn around and leave again.

Leng Yichen's throat suddenly tightened.

Slowly clasping Zhuang Ling's shoulders with both hands.

Close your eyes deeply.

"Let's go to City A."

"Aren't you?" Zhuang Ling will never forget when Leng Yichen let him choose in the afternoon.

"Your heart tells me that even if I take you there, you won't be happy." Leng Yichen smiled wryly, his thin lips trembling slightly in the cold wind, "I won't do anything that makes you unhappy." Do it again."

Zhuang Ling stared at Leng Yichen quietly, he cared so much about his own feelings, his heart was warmed, and he missed the word "again" in Leng Yichen's words.

His eyes were full of pain and sadness.

I didn't speak for a long time.

Until Zhuang Ling slowly felt the temperature on Leng Yichen's fingers go away bit by bit.

Looking at his gradually dimming eyes with heartache, he couldn't utter the sentence "we don't know city A".

"Yichen, I swear, no matter what happens, I will never, ever leave you half a step away."

Hearing Zhuang Ling's solemn and swearing words, Leng Yichen didn't show his usual beaming expression, but lightly, lightly raised the corners of his mouth in a lonely arc.If she knew everything, then she should regret the oath she made today.

Lingling, don't give me any more vows, it will only make me more...

"Yichen, you trust me, I will never leave you."

Could it be that my oath like this still can't convince you?
Zhuang Ling breathed lightly, with a serious voice, "So, what should I do to believe my heart for you?"

"Lingling, let's go back. Don't get sick."

Leng Yichen looked away sadly, took off his coat, and attached it to Zhuang Ling, his black eyes were dead silent.

Zhuang Ling lowered her head, bit the corner of her lips tightly, and her sadness flashed by.

The afternoon sun bathed in the smooth driving of the car on the driveway.

Yan Mingyao concentrated on driving the car, and a dull atmosphere circulated in the small car.

Zhuang Ling looked thoughtfully at the familiar scenery passing by outside the car.

Ever since Leng Yichen said he was going back to City A that night, Zhuang Ling hadn't seen any other expression on Leng Yichen's expression other than heaviness.The whole person was immersed in a cold silence.

"Lingling, you go back first, I have to go to the company first."

The car unknowingly stopped at Leng Zhai, and Leng Yichen forced a faint smile, but that smile was already lonely before it could be fully revealed.

"Yi Chen?"

"Let's go." Leng Yichen turned his gaze and said to Yan Mingyao.

Seeing the car driving out of sight, Zhuang Ling slowly looked away.Turning around, he didn't go into the cold house, but went in the opposite direction.Perhaps, Li Yan can give her an answer to all these.

"President, the company..."

Yan Mingyao's words were interrupted by Leng Yichen's expressionless face, "Go to the dealer."

"Huifan, how do you deal with this matter?" The dealer, Zhuang Huiping frowned and asked Zhuang Huifan in front of him.

"I don't know how Li Yan knew about it. I only told you and my sister-in-law that day." Zhuang Huifan was puzzled.

"Now is not the time to discuss how to leak it out. I am worried that Ah Ling's calm life will be disrupted again." Zhuang Huiping shook his head and sighed.

"Hey." Zhuang Huiping even regretted that he came back.If he hadn't come back, wouldn't he have been involved in what happened back then.

"Hui Fan, don't blame yourself." Zhuang Huiping comforted, "No one thought about this, it was an accident."

"Brother, I'm going out to get some air."

Zhuang Huifan got up and walked outside slowly, the heaviness in his eyes did not dissipate because of Zhuang Huiping's comfort.

"Follow him." As soon as the car stopped outside the dealer's door, Leng Yichen saw Zhuang Huifan coming out of the dealer's house and heading out.

Yan Mingyao started the car to keep up with the sound.

"Are you and A Ling back?" Seeing Leng Yichen getting out of the car parked beside him, Zhuang Huifan said in surprise.

"What do you think?" Leng Yichen looked at Zhuang Huifan mockingly, his voice could not be said to be cold.

In a quiet coffee shop.

"A Ling, you're back?" Li Yan was surprised when she suddenly received a call from Zhuang Ling.

"I want to ask you, what happened to Mu Jingfeng's abandonment of marriage?" Because Zhuang Ling knew that Leng Yichen's escape should have something to do with it.

"Did you come back for this?"

Surprised by Li Yan's expression and voice when she said this, Zhuang Ling still nodded, because this matter was related to Leng Yichen, so it can be said that she came back for this matter.

"Hehe," Li Yan sneered, "It seems that you still can't let go of Mu Jingfeng."

Li Yan's tone and demeanor made Zhuang Ling frown slightly and did not speak.

"That night, I called you and told you the truth about everything that happened back then. I didn't expect you to leave so heartlessly the next day. Don't you think it's too late to ask now?"

"Ayan, don't talk to me in such a mocking tone. I haven't received your call, and I don't know what you're talking about."

"You do not know?"

"Yes, I don't know." Doubts emerged in Zhuang Ling's mind, could this matter be related to the one three years ago?Wasn't it all caused by his father causing Mu Jingfeng's father to commit suicide?

"No wonder..."

There was a flash of pain in Li Yan's eyes, she didn't expect Mu Jingfeng to be so desperate after knowing everything, "A Ling, go back to Mu Jingfeng, he can't live without you."

"Li Yan, do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhuang Ling stood up suddenly, his voice extremely cold and angry. "I've said it over and over again, Mu Jingfeng and I are in the past, and we will never be together again. Please take back what you said just now, I just pretend I didn't hear it."

"Zhuang Ling, do you know how much I envy you?"

Li Yan looked at Zhuang Ling, pain gathered in her eyes, "You got his love, but I..."

"You?" 'Like Mu Jingfeng'?Maybe he had already noticed it, so when Li Yan said it, Zhuang Ling wasn't too surprised.

"Everything that happened back then was planned by Leng Yichen."

Li Yan looked at Zhuang Ling, and said cruelly word by word:

"Back then, in order to get you, Leng Yichen forced your second uncle to put unwarranted charges on uncle, causing Mu Jingfeng to misunderstand."

"That day, he was also the one who gave me the medicine and asked me to pour it into the Mujing wind wine."

"I knew I shouldn't have been tempted at the time, but Leng Yichen was the culprit of everything."

"It was Leng Yichen who forcibly separated you and Mu Jingfeng."

"Everything is a misunderstanding made by him."

"I don't believe what you say." Zhuang Ling clenched his hands suddenly. Everything Li Yan said was far beyond what Zhuang Ling could accept.Leng Yichen, he...

"Do you know why he went to America?"

Before Zhuang Ling could answer, Li Yan laughed and said, "He's trying to get back the evidence."

"Impossible, he said it was for treatment."

"What's so unbelievable, Leng Yichen can't do what he wants to do. And my father was also killed by him, just because of that evidence."

"No, no." Zhuang Ling's clenched hands trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled unspeakably, "He won't do that."

"A Ling, it seems that you don't know him well. For you, he won't do anything."

"No, no..." Zhuang Ling almost staggered and fled the coffee shop step by step. She didn't believe it, she didn't believe a word.

She's going to ask.

Yes, ask Leng Yichen.

As if he had found hope, Zhuang Ling quickly went to Leng's company.As long as Leng Yichen says no, she will believe him.

"Sister, are you back?"

A car stopped beside Zhuang Ling. Zhuang Yang looked in surprise at Zhuang Ling who had suddenly returned to City A and was in a bad mood. However, he couldn't think of anything at the moment, and looked at Zhuang Ling with an extremely anxious expression. "Sister, get in the car quickly, just now my father called to say that my second uncle had a car accident and is now in the hospital."

"What?" Zhuang Ling exclaimed, looking at Zhuang Yang in disbelief.
