Meng Jinhuai, who had just finished work, was wearing a black double-breasted military uniform and leather gloves of the same color on his hands. At this moment, he had a very dangerous aura all over him... Duan Hengxing, who was sitting on the ground and had yet to get up. After seeing the other party, his face immediately turned pale, and he lowered his head nervously and hurriedly shouted: "Yuan... Lord Marshal..."
Meng Jinhuai ignored Duan Hengxing and didn't even give him an extra look. In the silence, the Marshal went straight to Duan Hengye's side, "Are you okay?" Meng Jinhuai seemed to be a different person when he said this. He lowered his head in a very gentle tone. However, it may be because he just came out of the military, Meng Jinhuai's aura did not fully restrain as before. Although he deliberately slowed down his tone, Duan Hengye still felt a very strong sense of unfamiliar oppression.
Duan Hengye suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although he stayed away from family disputes in his previous life, he had also faced the patriarchs of various ancient martial families all day long. In Duan Hengye's view, Meng Jinhuai's aura was far superior to them.
This kind of momentum and sense of oppression can only be experienced by those who have walked out of the battlefield, and it has been washed away from countless blood and death.
Suppressing the uneasiness in the depths of his heart, Duan Hengye tried to calmly raise his head as usual and said, "It's alright."
"That's good." Meng Jinhuai smiled at Duan Hengye and said, "In the future, this kind of thing can be handled by a personal assistant."
"Okay." Duan Hengye didn't want to pay attention to this playful younger brother anyway, he wrote down the people who could deal with the trouble in his mind. Seeing Duan Hengye nodding, Meng Jinhuai finally patted him gently on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go to the banquet hall."
As the marshal's spouse, appearing at the banquet with Meng Jinhuai is of course an essential part. Duan Hengye nodded and put away his light brain and walked towards the crowd with Meng Jinhuai. The two of them ignored the embarrassed Duan Hengxing, but when they passed by someone who was sitting on the ground, Duan Hengye could clearly see his uncontrollable trembling...
When he was about to walk into the hall where there were many people, Meng Jinhuai suddenly took two steps forward and took Duan Hengye's hand.
…
In an instant, countless exclamation marks flashed through Duan Hengye's mind. He reflexively wanted to withdraw his hand, but his reason and past memories told him that the original owner and Meng Jinhuai did often appear hand in hand in public. .
After all, who called them legal partners
Although Duan Hengye in his previous life did not have the strange temperament of the original owner, in the eyes of the people around him, he was still a very homely person, or rather withdrawn. Although he realized his sexuality when he read dog blood novels in his early years, this is the first time he has held hands with others as an adult.
Meng Jinhuai's hands are not only beautiful, but the cool body temperature and the thin calluses in the palms make people feel like they are touching the jade carvings. At this moment, Duan Hengye's fingertips trembled a little reflexively, and now he admires Meng Jinhuai even more... He really deserves to be the Mengying Emperor in his heart, and he can naturally kill someone who is trying to kill him. Pull up. Duan Hengye couldn't help but continue to move his eyes up quietly, Meng Jinhuai still did not change his face and even smiled, as if he was really holding his lover.
And no matter what the twists and turns in the hearts of these two people, this is indeed very close in the eyes of others. When they reached the center of the banquet hall, almost everyone's eyes were locked on them.
"Marshal Meng and Professor Duan, good afternoon, I've heard the name for a long time." A slightly fat man stepped forward to greet them. The speaker is the Prime Minister of Yetian Empire, probably because of the war, compared to Meng Jinhuai, the commander of the military, he has a low sense of existence, but he is also one of the best figures in Yetian Empire political circles.
However, neither the original owner nor Duan Hengye had much interest in imperial politics. When Meng Jinhuai and the Prime Minister started chatting, he slowly pretended to be unconscious and took his hand out of the other's hand. After finally pulling out his hand, Duan Hengye finally discovered that there was someone beside the Prime Minister who was watching him silently while drinking.
Seeing Duan Hengye looking back, he also very generously raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Good evening."
Duan Hengye finally remembered that the man on the opposite side was named Wen Mujia, the heir of a well-known technology company in Interstellar. As a typical rich N generation, Wen Mujia lives a low-key life, and the most famous deed in his previous life is probably that he chased Meng Jinhuai in his early years.
Almost all the people in the interstellar have heard of this matter, and even a large number of gossip lovers know that as "rivals in love" Wen Mujia and the original owner have not been very good at each other...
If it was put in the past and received this provocative look, the original owner would definitely have a black face with him. But who has changed someone in this shell now, Duan Hengye was eager to divorce Meng Jinhuai... So Wen Mujia, who had provoked the other party many times, first felt the feeling of hitting cotton with a punch.
Although the two have not met a few times, the magical intuition between rivals still exists. After seeing the indifferent look of the other party, Wen Mujia immediately realized that Duan Hengye had changed. His smile slowly faded from his face, and Duan Hengye's gaze also turned to inquiry.
However, Duan Hengye really didn't want to deal with this "former rival". He didn't like the atmosphere at the banquet, so he left here after a while. Unlike his indifference, from turning around to leaving the hall completely, Wen Mujia's eyes never left Duan Hengye's back...
Outside the banquet was a meadow. Duan Hengye only saw when he went out that a large group of children had arrived on the quiet lawn just now. The child who was brought to the banquet by the family was still stunned at first, but ran out after a while because of boredom. At this time, a bunch of children dressed in fancy clothes were chasing and making trouble in the garden, and every now and then someone would accidentally fall to the ground. The following robots around looked a little anxious, and the orange light was always on and turned around behind their little master.
…
It's true that Duan Hengye likes cute children, but that doesn't mean he can endure the noise of bear children. He only glanced at the lawn and planned to take a detour, but before Duan Hengye turned around completely, a loud cry pulled him back.
I saw Dongfang You, who had just met with him, sat on the ground, her beautiful blue dress was torn to a corner, and she looked very embarrassed. And the person standing opposite Dongfang You is... Meng Jinhuai's nephew.
Duan Hengye's right eyelid jumped suddenly.
This is a character not mentioned in "Dumping the Stars". Fortunately, his existence can be found in the memory of the original owner. The Meng Jinhuai family has been in the army for generations. The Yetian Empire has been in a bad situation over the years, and the family has sacrificed many people because of it. The child in front of him was Meng Hexi, brother of Meng Jinhuai's brother. After his parents died in battle, he followed Duan Hengye's side.
The marshal is not omnipotent. Because of his busy work, Meng Jinhuai did not have much time to take care of this child. From Duan Hengye's point of view... Meng Hexi might become a dummy like the original owner's younger brother if he continued to develop like this.
Although he didn't want to get involved in these children's conflicts, Dongfang You had clearly seen Duan Hengye. The little girl not far away grimaced a little, and then shouted in the direction where Duan Hengye had twisted her body, "Professor Duan..."
Almost all the family members of the children present were high-level military officials, so this was naturally not the first time they had seen Duan Hengye. Seeing this uncle, who had always been very serious, came over with a straight face, the children immediately became nervous.
Duan Hengye didn't want to care about other people, he quickly walked over to help Dongfang You up and asked, "What's wrong?" After speaking, he suddenly felt that this scene was a little familiar... The exchange between himself and Lan Jingchi a while ago seemed to be so.
After being helped up by Duan Hengye, the little girl immediately rubbed her eyes and complained, "Yes... it's Meng Hexi, he pushed me!" After hearing this, Duan Hengye asked the other children around to leave first. . He slowly walked to Meng Hexi's side and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Although not as murderous as Meng Jinhuai's, Duan Hengye's cold temperament was still terrifying to children. After all, Xiao Meng is not a real slut, he was silent for a while, then bit his lip and lowered his head to admit, "Yes, but I didn't mean to..."
Hearing the other party's defense, Duan Hengye said rudely: "It's useless to explain this, I apologize." Because the nominal guardians Meng Jinhuai and Duan Hengye have been away from home, the young master Meng Hexi has been kept at home. Attendants and school classmates held the grown up. Now Duan Hengye suddenly asked him to apologize to Dongfang You, but Meng Hexi was naturally unwilling.
"No, her father is an admiral, and my uncle is..."
Children generally don't care about the identity of their family members. Now that Meng Hexi can say this, it must be that someone repeats his identity and status in his ears all day long. Duan Hengye's face became even more ugly, "Because your uncle is Meng Jinhuai, so you can bully others?" He couldn't help raising his voice.
Meng Hexi was taken aback by Duan Hengye's suddenly louder voice, but it wasn't over yet, Duan Hengye asked at a faster rate, "As you say, your uncle's purpose of fighting abroad is to come back to bully or rule. Someone else?".
After hearing what Duan Hengye said, Meng Hexi suddenly burst into tears. The tears fell so fast that Dongfang You didn't even realize what happened. Seeing that Meng Hexi was crying, she carefully pulled on the hem of Duan Hengye's clothes and said, "Professor Duan... It's alright, I won't cry now, don't be fierce to Meng Hexi."
"..." Duan Hengye was silent, did he really look like he was bullying a child
Despite this, he still felt that Meng Hexi's words just now were too much. Duan Hengye stopped talking, but stood there silently watching Meng Hexi. After an unknown amount of time, the child finally stopped crying. He wiped his face and then hiccupped and said, "Yes... I'm sorry."
Hearing the apology, Dongfang You was also stunned. She opened her eyes wide and replied, "It's okay." Seeing this, Duan Hengye finally squatted down and handed the handkerchief she was carrying to Meng Hexi.
After receiving the handkerchief, Meng He took a deep breath and wiped away the tears and snot on his face. After the emotions calmed down a little, the child handed the handkerchief back to Duan Hengye, "Thank you, Auntie." He said very naturally.
Aunt
Hearing this, Duan Hengye even forgot the dirty handkerchief in his hand, he only felt a basin of cold water pouring down from his head. "Change your name." He got up and said seriously to Meng Hexi, "Call me Professor Duan."
"Ah?" Meng He was stunned for a moment, then whispered "Professor Duan" while sniffling.
…
What Duan Hengye didn't know was that everything that happened here was watched by Meng Jinhuai.
At a certain moment, the figure of Duan Hengye in Meng Jinhuai's eyes seemed to overlap with the boy at the banquet more than ten years ago... There was a hint of tenderness in the marshal's eyes - without any falsehood. But that tenderness only existed for a moment.
