C248 Half Open
Chi Huo followed Ning Ou's request and brought Xu Qingya to Zhang Xunmo's side. Because he wasn't sure about Zhang Xunmo's relationship with her, he decided to inform him first before going to knock on the door.
Xu Qingya was blocked outside by the guards and could only look around silently. She had thought about Ning Ou's appearance in America and also the place where he lived, but she did not know that it was so spacious and stylish.
Zhang Xunmo was sorting out the information about what had happened recently and trying to find out where Moore and Vince were and see some traces of Hua Jingsheng. Before he could see anything, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in."
Chi Huo pushed the door open and entered. He closed the door and said, "Young Master Zhang, the Sect Chief asked me to bring someone to see you. He asked you to arrange it."
Zhang Xunmo looked at him suspiciously. "Who is it?"
"Xu Qingya."
Zhang Xunmo was shocked. He stood up from his seat and said in disbelief, "Who did you say?"
"Xu Qingya." Chi Huo saw Zhang Xunmo was so excited. He lowered his eyebrows slightly and explained, "Sect Master said that only you can do this."
"Why is she here?" Zhang Xunmo asked. Zhang Xunmo put his hands on his hips and looked confused.
"The Sect Master and I met her on our way back from the Cheetah Family. She was being chased by someone at that time. The Sect Master brought her here because of old friendship." Chi Huo half-guessed and half-truthfully said.
Zhang Xunmo sighed helplessly. Wasn't Ning Ou causing trouble for him again?
"Bring her in."
"Yes." Chi Huo turned around and asked the people outside to let Xu Qingya in.
Xu Qingya walked inside with a nervous heart. Ning Ou did not know why he did not care about her. He did not even have time to say what he wanted her to prepare. Was the person who wanted to see her now Ning Ou or someone else?
After pushing open the door and entering, she looked up and saw Zhang Xunmo in a white shirt leaning against the desk. His gentle and handsome face was as gentle as water. Although his handsome features were not as flamboyant as Ning Ou's, there was a warmth that made people unable to resist getting close to him.
"Xun-er, you're also here!" She walked over with a smile.
Chi Huo saw that she and Zhang Xunmo were also old friends. When he saw that Zhang Xunmo did not let him out, he automatically moved to the side.
Zhang Xunmo looked at Xu Qingya. Although it had been a few months since he last saw her, he did not believe that a person's nature would change in such a short period of time. So he believed that Xu Qingya did not come with good intentions. Thinking about it, he smiled faintly. "Of course, it's been a long time. Why did you come to America?"
"About this..." Xu Qingya looked at him. Her beautiful features were as bright as summer flowers, but her tone contained a deep melancholy, "Talking about it is long."
"It's okay. You can keep it short." Zhang Xunmo did not allow her to play dumb.
Xu Qingya saw that he had to ask, so she lowered her eyebrows and answered, "I don't know if you know him or not. I only know that his name is Vince. It was his men who brought me to America."
"Vince!" Zhang Xunmo was shocked. He never would have thought that Vince was the one who did this. "Why did he want you to come to America?"
At this moment, Xu Qingya looked up and smiled slowly. "I want to wait for Ou to tell me about this."
Zhang Xunmo's face darkened when he heard that. It seemed that this matter was not simple.
"Sure."
Ning Ou had learned about Yin Lan's condition from the doctor. He had always guessed that it would not be good, but when the doctor told him that the antidote did not work as he had expected, his heart sank. When he walked out of the doctor's office, he knew that he had no other choice. Now, the bleeding point in Yin Lan's body was only temporarily stopped, but it could not be said when it would burst out.
Moreover, if it did not work, Yin Lan might not be able to turn the situation around.
The doctor gave him five days. This was the best he could do to ensure that Yin Lan was not worried. In other words, he might only have five days to peacefully and happily interact with Yin Lan.
When he thought of this, he felt as if his heart was pressed by a thousand pounds of stone. He tried hard to breathe but could only feel a thin strand of air. It was dull and difficult to endure.
While his consciousness was at a loss, he unknowingly walked to his room. Separated by the door, he suddenly stood still. His gaze passed through the door as if he saw Yin Lan who was sitting inside waiting for him. Her smile, her forbearance, and her strength had all become his urge to tear his heart apart. He reached out to support the door and pondered for a while. He did not expect that before his hand could reach the door, the door would be automatically opened from the inside.
He lifted his face and saw Yin Lan, whose facial features were gradually revealed behind the door. When she saw him, she was shocked and then delighted, "You're back!"
She looked at the face that had the corners of her eyes bent by the smile. He smiled gently and removed the heavy stone that was pressing down on his heart. Retracting the sadness in his eyes, he said softly, " That's right, I'm back."
"I felt that there was someone at the door. I didn't expect it to really be you." Yin Lan looked at him with a smile and then reached out to hold him. "Then come in and take a rest."
Ning Ou looked at the two people's hands, and his smile became deep. She pulled him into the room and put him on the sofa. She poured him a glass of water.
"Did you do well today?" Although he tried his best to smile, she could still vaguely feel the pressure on him.
Ning Ou took the water from her and put it on the table. He held her hand and let her sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered, "It's only been a morning. I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time."
Yin Lan suddenly felt her face burn when he said this. The corner of her lips curled up as if she had settled too much happiness. She lowered her head and let her head lean against his head. She felt very satisfied in her heart.
Ning Ou turned his head and closed his eyes. He used the tip of his pen and his lips to gently stroke the side of her face. He lowered his head and asked, "Lan, do you want to know what I will do next?"
"What will you do?" Yin Lan cooperated and asked.
Ning Ou took a deep breath and said in a low and hoarse voice, "I asked you before. If I have to attack Vince and Moore because I have no other choice, will you hate me? You said that as long as I didn't attack, it would be fine. As long as I didn't attack, you wouldn't hate me?"
Yin Lan heard his painful words and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She immediately reached out and hugged him tightly. Her previously calm breathing became unstable in an instant. Her eyes wandered around in a daze and then she asked in a low voice. "So, you are going to deal with them, right?"
Ning Ou placed his head on her shoulder and nodded gently.
Yin Lan closed her eyes and breathed hard after getting a definite answer. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She reached out and hugged Ning Ou tightly. She knew that if it was not for her, he would not be in so much pain.
"If I really can't avoid it, then I have nothing to say. As long as you didn't kill Vince with your own hands, I won't blame you."
"Alright." Ning Ou replied calmly. His heart was in turmoil, but he had to make a move.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made things difficult for you." Yin Lan felt very guilty. When she found out about the relationship between Vince and Ning Ou, she had guessed that the day would come. She could not persuade Vince, but she could only persuade Ning Ou.
Ning Ou tightened his arms around her waist. After taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down. He looked up again. "I'm fine. Don't be burdened. This is the real world."
Yin Lan nodded gently.
"By the way." Ning Ou slowly calmed down and then remembered what happened before. "I met someone. You might not even be able to guess who she is."
"A person?" Ning Ou asked. Yin Lan's mind was half taken away by this sentence. "Do I know her?"
"You know him and he is still in the same era as you." Ning Ou deliberately distracted his attention and deliberately teased her.
"The old days?" she asked. Yin Lan took advantage of his questions and tried hard to get rid of the haze in her head. She tried to recall, but found that there were too many things. She raised another condition, "Is it a man? Or is it a woman?"
"A woman."
"No." Yin Lan answered affirmatively. If it was men, she could think of a few, but she knew too few women. The only one she was familiar with was Wu Qing. But she...
Ning Ou saw that Yin Lan had given up. He pinched her face and smiled. "You gave up so quickly, but it gave me a sense of achievement."
"Then are you willing to reveal the truth?" Yin Lan raised her eyebrows.
"Xu Qingya."
Ning Ou stared at her after he said the name, afraid that she would be angry.
Yin Lan did not want to care about this name when she heard it. But very quickly, her mind spun. Why did she come to America? Did she come by herself, or did Xu Jinsong ask her to come? Why did she meet Ning Ou so coincidentally?
"What is she doing here?"
However, contrary to Ning Ou's expectations, Yin Lan's reaction was very calm. It was so calm that there were almost no ripples.0
"I didn't know. I met her by chance. She was being hunted and I brought her back." As he spoke, he explained in a guaranteed tone, "I didn't think too much at that time. I just felt that we met. I thought that she came in a strange way and that was why I brought her back. I didn't have any other thoughts."
Yin Lan looked at the serious expression on his face. Her initially cold and indifferent face instantly melted, "I didn't say anything. Although I have a grudge with the Xu Family, this has nothing to do with you. I won't implicate you."
Speaking of grudges, Ning Ou's expression suddenly stiffened. No, this had something to do with him!
But he could not say it, nor could he.
"Then how are you going to settle her? What if she still has feelings for you?" Yin Lan said and started to tease him.
"The feelings are hers, not mine. It has nothing to do with me. It is a problem to settle her down. " I'm asking Mo to deal with her now. Let's see if he can get anything out of her first. "
"What if there is no problem?"
"Then where do you come from? Go back to where you came from."
As the two of them were talking, the landline phone next to them rang.
"This phone isn't usually for me." Yin Lan pursed her lips and smiled, indicating for him to let go of her and pick it up himself.
Ning Ou did not let go. He carried her to the phone and picked up the phone. There was a smug smile on his face.
Yin Lan looked at the lively him and could not help smiling. It was only after seeing his expression gradually turn serious that the smile faded.
"Okay, I will come over later."
