half thorns, half joy

"Then what will it take before you agree to marry me?"

Deng Langyue sneered, and flatly rejected Qin Tian, ​​"I'm sorry, I won't agree to marry you no matter what."

"...Why?" Qin Tian twisted her fingers tightly, the ladylike expression on her face could not hold back.

"I've already said the reason, so I don't need to say any more." Deng Langyue said with a serious expression on her face, and stopped talking nonsense to Qin Tian.

Since it was impossible to go the way of Qin Tian, ​​he just talked to his uncle directly.Anyway, the matter of him fighting for his own freedom will have to be put on the table sooner or later.

His life must not be manipulated like this.

He is a living person, not a pawn, let alone an object.

Deng Langyue's chest rose and fell, he was actually afraid deep in his heart, he was afraid, that's why he kept cheering himself up and persuading himself repeatedly.

After a long silence, Qin Tian stood up.

Her eyes looked wet, as if she had been humiliated, her mouth was tightly shut, and even the tip of her nose was red.

Deng Langyue put his hands in his pockets and watched coldly, indifferent.

He really couldn't understand this strange woman. This woman seemed to be less free than him, and what she said made him very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he didn't even bother to say a word of comfort.

So, I can only apologize.

After a while, the nanny came to inform that Deng Li and Qin Guoquan had finished talking, and told them to go over.

Qin Tian didn't look at Deng Langyue again, and quickly followed the nanny with her handbag in her hand.

Deng Langyue let out a long breath and followed.

Deng Li and Qin Guoquan had already come out of the front hall and were standing in the middle of the yard, talking and laughing at a century-old pagoda tree.

"Such an old tree is rare in our city." Qin Guoquan rubbed his fingers on the bark, and it was obvious that he liked it.

Deng Li put his hands behind his back, and smiled agreeably, but his tone was extremely proud, "Yes, there are only two, one is in the downtown park, and the other is right here."

Qin Guoquan shook his head with a smile, "When I was young, there were quite a lot of trees like this, but after the construction, all these old trees were cut down. At that time, people only wanted to focus on the economy, and they didn't have the awareness of environmental protection to protect old trees. ,such a pity."

"That's why the ones that stay are more precious." Deng Li glanced at Deng Langyue and Qin Tian who were walking over from the corner of his eye, and joked with a smile, "But when our two families become in-laws and your daughter lives in, you can come and drink at any time Tea."

Deng Langyue: "..."

How could he hear his uncle's tone, it means that he has already decided on his life's major events.

Qin Guoquan reluctantly put down his hands, took the towel from the nanny, wiped the dust on his palms, and replied with a big smile, "Haha, that's a good relationship."

He also saw Qin Tian and Deng Langyue, and asked happily: "How is it, how are you young people getting along?"

Qin Tian didn't say a word, walked over and stood beside Qin Guoquan, lowered her head, looking listless and hopeless.

Qin Guoquan was sullen, and was about to scold Qin Tian, ​​but Deng Li interjected, "Oh, Lao Qin, the children will definitely feel embarrassed if you ask me that. Give them more chances to get along."

With Deng Li helping to speak, Qin Guoquan was of course embarrassed to say anything, so he could only smile and nod, saying yes.

After seeing off Qin Guoquan and Qin Tian, ​​Deng Li's smiling face instantly turned into a sneer.

His cold eyes shot at Deng Langyue, and his tone of voice was so cold that he almost froze people.

"What are you doing?"

Deng Langyue was stunned, and stared blankly at Deng Li.

"Come in with me!" Deng Li said, turned around and entered the room.

Deng Langyue took a deep breath, not daring to delay any longer, and quickly followed into the room. Seeing Deng Li sitting down on the chair, he stood in the middle of the front hall with his hands down.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you."

Deng Langyue was surprised, he didn't expect that his negative attitude towards this marriage had been clearly seen by his uncle.

But since that was the case, he had nothing to hide.

It's better to speak clearly at once, anyway, he has made up his mind for so many days, and he has thought clearly about the future.

Deng Langyue straightened her back unconsciously, looked back at Deng Li, and said seriously, "Uncle, I cannot marry Qin Tian."

Deng Li looked indifferent, not surprised at all. He picked up the teacup handed over by the nanny, and took a sip, "Is it impossible, or do you want to?"

"I don't want to, and I can't." Deng Langyue went all out, "I don't know her at all, and I don't like her. I don't want to just marry someone I don't like. Such a marriage is meaningless at all."

"Oh? Really? Then who do you want to marry, the girl from the Cai family?"

Deng Langyue was dumbfounded, and the hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist.

His uncle ruthlessly forced him to break up with Cai Lin. When he heard his uncle mentioning Cai Lin like this, he subconsciously felt uncomfortable, thinking that something must be wrong.

Deng Li put down his teacup, put his hands casually on his thighs, leaned back in the chair, narrowed his eyes and looked at Deng Langyue for a moment.

"You've been in a lot of mood recently. Is it because of that girl from the Cai family? Because I told you to separate from her, and you have something against me."

Deng Li said declarative sentences, not interrogative sentences.

But this is also true, Deng Langyue did not refute.

"However—" Deng Li suddenly raised his voice, "No matter how dissatisfied you are, you must marry Qin Tian. There is no need to discuss this matter. I have already made a decision."

"Why?" Deng Langyue was annoyed, and suddenly lost her temper, "This is a major event in my life, I don't want to!"

Deng Li sneered, as if mocking Deng Langyue's overreach, but what he said was even worse.

He looked at Deng Langyue contemptuously and said, "You have no right to be unwilling."

Such an understatement, such a condescension.

Deng Langyue has always been aware of her uncle's dominance and arrogance, but never at this moment, he felt so embarrassed that his uncle didn't treat and respect his nephew as a person.

At that moment, Deng Langyue's accumulated anger, dissatisfaction, and resentment all burst out.

He was so angry that he laughed angrily, "Oh, is that right? If you want me to marry Qin Tian, ​​I don't want to. What can you do? Can you force me to marry her?"

Deng Li looked at Deng Langyue with a calm expression without any fluctuations.

The expression he looked at Deng Langyue was like looking at a mischievous child, there was no need to waste expression at all.

Such indifference made Deng Langyue's heart shudder.

He struggled for so long, worried for so long, scratched his head trying to say these words for so long, in the end, in the eyes of his uncle, he was nothing.

It really hurts.

Deng Langyue couldn't bear the atmosphere for another second, his clenched hands couldn't stop shaking, and his eye sockets were sore to the point of pain.

"I won't marry Qin Tian. This has nothing to do with Cai Lin. It's because I don't want to be manipulated like this. I've had enough."

After Deng Langyue finished speaking, she walked out.

He didn't know where to go, and he didn't know where he could go. The only thing he knew was that he didn't want to stay in that yard any longer. If he stayed for a second longer, he would suffocate and be out of breath.

Deng Langyue walked aimlessly on the road with no one around. He didn't know how long he walked until the sun set and the sky darkened, and he regained his senses in a daze.

Only then did he realize that he had walked to the hotel where Cai Lin had lived together.

He looked up at each room in the hotel, and couldn't help but think of the night he had with Cai Lin. At that time, he was free and unrestrained, with a playful attitude, and slept with Cai Lin.

At that time, how could he have imagined that that night turned out to be a turning point in his life, the most important encounter in his life.

When Deng Langyue thought of Cai Lin, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. Without thinking about it, he walked into the hotel.

Deng Langyue used to bring women to this hotel. The hotel's lobby manager and the front desk all knew him. Seeing Deng Langyue, the lobby manager immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Open me a room." Deng Langyue walked aimlessly for several hours, her whole body was terribly exhausted, and the expression on her face was naturally decadent.

The lobby manager was also a discerning person, he didn't exchange many pleasantries when he saw this, and ordered the front desk to quickly open a room for Deng Langyue, and handed the room card to Deng Langyue.

"I'll go up by myself." Deng Langyue waved his hand, refused the waiter to lead the way, and walked towards the elevator with the room card.

While waiting for the elevator, he casually glanced at the door, startled.

The person standing outside the revolving door of the hotel was the bodyguard of the Deng family that he was familiar with.

Ah.

It actually followed up like this.

After being surprised, the elevator door opened with a ding, and Deng Langyue stepped into the elevator with a sneer.

He wants to see what kind of actions his uncle can make when he leaves in such a rage.To tie him back?Or should I send someone to teach him a lesson?

He waits and sees.
