Chapter 301

Qiao Nian didn't want him to get close to this place.

There is a red plum tree planted by Jing Yan here.

This place belongs to Jing Yan.

She frowned slightly, and finally turned around to look at Xiao Heng.

When their eyes met, she didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly.

The face in front of her was much more mature than in her memory.

Perhaps it was the running around in recent days that made him look a little haggard, and there was a calmness between his eyebrows that he had never had when he was a teenager. The look he gave her was not as cold as when he was a teenager.

He was still him, but he was no longer like him.

Qiao Nian knew that she was the same.

If Lin Nian had seen Xiao Heng in front of him, he would have rushed over with joy, and surrounded him like a butterfly, chattering non-stop.

Qiao Nian now looked at him, and there was only silence.

Xiao Heng's hands hanging by his side were unconsciously clenched.

It was not the first time he had seen her silence, but he still couldn't adapt.

After going through so much, he still likes her who pesters him to call him 'Brother Heng' all day long.

At that moment, he took a deep breath and said, "There is one thing I have always forgotten to tell you. That Lin Yuan is not the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion at all, you are, back then..."

"I know." Qiao Nian interrupted Xiao Heng, his expression still calm.

But Xiao Heng was stunned.

He originally wanted to tell her that their engagement still counted, and they were still a match made in heaven.

He thought, if she knew that their engagement had never changed, and that he should have always belonged to her, then perhaps, her state of mind would be different.

But now, she just said quietly, I know.

A barely perceptible panic appeared in Xiao Heng's eyes.

"When?"

"When Xiao Cui died." Qiao Nian responded truthfully, "Before she died, she told me everything."

When Xiao Cui died?

So early?

So she knew clearly that they should be together, but she kept pushing him away?

It was as if he didn't understand until this moment that she really didn't want him anymore.

His heart was instantly twisted together, throbbing and extremely uncomfortable.

But even so, he had no intention of letting go.

She was his.

She was.

But at this moment, a guard under Xiao Heng hurried over, "General, Lord Lin is seeking an audience outside."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's eyebrows instantly twisted into a knot.

Sure enough, as long as she returned to Beijing, she couldn't escape the entanglement of this group of people.

As soon as she landed, they came right after her.

Qiao Nian stared at Xiao Heng with cold eyes.

She was telling him that she didn't want to see them.

Xiao Heng naturally saw it, and immediately said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

After that, he turned and left.

At this time, the Lin family had already been stopped outside the door by Xiao He.

"That's my daughter, how can I not see her?!" Lord Lin's voice trembled, very excited.

He had just received the news and rushed here, but who knew that Xiao He would not allow them to get close even a step!

Xiao He stood behind the guards, looked at the three people who were blocked by the guards with cold eyes, and said lightly, "Niannian just came back and needs to rest well."

"Xiao He! What qualifications do you have to say this!" Lin Ye pushed the guard in front of him excitedly, and shouted at Xiao He, "You have already divorced Niannian, why are you standing here to stop us!"

Xiao He's eyebrows suddenly sank.

I only heard Mrs. Lin crying, "Mr. Xiao, please let me get rid of Niannian slowly! My Niannian..."

"She doesn't want to see you."

A cold voice came from behind Xiao He.

Several people were stunned,

and saw Xiao Heng slowly walked out of the small courtyard with a very gloomy face.

Seeing this, Lin Ye instantly became excited.

"Xiao Heng! It's you again!"

He said, almost breaking free from the guards' obstruction, "It was you who imprisoned Nian Nian and almost killed her. What tricks are you trying to play now? Can you continue to imprison Nian Nian in another place!"

Lord Lin was also very excited, "Heng'er! General Xiao! You, you let me see Nian Nian! She doesn't want to see us, she must not know the truth yet, Nian Nian she..."

"She knows."

Xiao Heng's cold voice sounded again, which only shocked the Lin family.

Lin Ye looked at Xiao Heng in surprise, "What did you say?"

Even Xiao He was a little surprised, but suddenly remembered that Nian Nian had been strange for a while before.

She locked herself in the room and didn't come out for a long, long time...

Could it be that time?

Mrs. Lin was also full of disbelief, "What did you say? She knew? When did she know?"

"When Xiao Cui died." Xiao Heng answered truthfully, "She said that Xiao Cui told her everything before she died."

Hearing this, Lin Ye was suddenly stunned.

As if he finally remembered the scene of that day, Lin Ye's mind was filled with Qiao Nian crying silently in front of him.

At that time, he didn't know what was wrong with her, and even warned her not to wrongly accuse Lin Yuan...

Instantly, his heart felt like being cut by a knife.

He didn't know how disappointed Nian Nian would be when she heard this!

And Lord Lin and Madam Lin also suddenly remembered their partiality to Lin Yuan after that.

In order to protect Lin Yuan, they were willing to agree to her condition that they would never see each other again in this life.

At that time, what was Nian Nian thinking?

Mrs. Lin's body suddenly became limp.

If Marquis Lin hadn't been supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing Mrs. Lin like this, Xiao He couldn't help but sigh slightly and said, "Nian Nian has just returned to Beijing and needs to rest. Mr. Lin, please take Mrs. Lin back to rest first!"

If he stayed like this any longer, he would probably die outside this small house.

Marquis Lin was also worried about his wife, thinking that since Xiao He and Xiao Heng were both here today, they might not be able to see Nian Nian even if they prayed here until dawn, so he nodded slightly.

He comforted Mrs. Lin in a low voice, "Master Xiao is right, Nian Nian needs to rest too, why don't we come back tomorrow?"

Mrs. Lin had already burst into tears, and her heart ached beyond measure.

But she also knew that at this moment, she could only go back first.

So, he nodded slowly and let Mr. Lin help her leave.

But Lin Ye didn't leave.

Just knowing that Nian Nian would not see him easily, she took out a small bundle from her arms.

A pair of eyes instantly shed tears when they saw the little bundle.

Lin Ye's voice was filled with a strong cry, which only made Xiao He and Xiao Heng both stunned.

He handed the small bundle in front of Xiao He, "You, help me give this to Niannian. Tell her that I am late and I am sorry for her."

Xiao He's eyebrows were downcast, he looked at the small bundle in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

Then he just listened to Lin Ye and said, "Tell her that I will wait here until she is willing to see me."
