The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth

Chapter 36: Undercurrent

Views:

Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina were sitting in the living room, looking at the mature and elegant middle-aged man in front of them, their expressions were a little uncomfortable and awkward, especially Mrs. Marina, remembering what happened during this period, there was still a hint of hostility in her eyes.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and at this moment facing Grand Duke Carlos, the two still have to act hypocritically.

Grand Duke Ji Ting was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Excellency Carlos, I have already understood the purpose of your visit, but please forgive us for not being able to grant your request."

Mrs. Marina also smiled against her will, "Xiao Ling is just a naughty and ignorant child. It is his honor to be liked by you, but I am afraid he is not suitable to be your wife. Please forgive me."

joke!

How could they marry their only precious son to this deep and terrible Grand Duke Carlos

They know a lot more about Carlos than Ji Ling, so they are more aware of this man's ruthlessness and scheming. If Ji Ling really marries him, he will only be played around with applause. And the most important thing is... They don't think that Carlos really likes Ji Ling. I'm afraid he made such a request just to compete with His Majesty. The real purpose is to bring the Ji family into the battle.

No matter from what point of view, it is impossible for them to marry their son to Carlos.

If it wasn't for his instigation, the son would have been sweetly with His Majesty now, right? Thinking of her son's depressed appearance now, Mrs. Marina felt even more unhappy, but she was too born to be angry with Carlos, she just felt depressed and forced to smile.

Carlos looked at Ji Ting and his wife, who looked guarded and alienated, and showed an elegant and decent smile. His eyes were sincere and unhurried, and he said: "I can understand your concerns about this marriage, but I came here today with huge Sincerely. I sincerely propose to marry Ji Ling, and I promise that I will always have him as my lover. If I can't do it, I am willing to give away half of the Carlos family's property as compensation for him."

As soon as this remark came out, Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina looked at Carlos in horror. He is not crazy, how could he say such a thing

The Carlos family is huge and has a long history. The industries involved are all over the empire, everywhere, and they are huge enough to affect the economic lifeline of the empire! Even half of the family property is so huge that it cannot be estimated at all. Since he dared to make such a promise, he would not be able to use his family as a joke. Whether it is sincere or not, he will definitely treat his son kindly.

But this is too surprising, is it necessary...

Imperial nobles have always had an open concept of private life. It is very common to have lovers or divorce after marriage. There are also people who play their own way, which is not a big deal at all. They were only worried that Carlos would use it to hurt Ji Ling, not worried. Will Carlos have someone else in the future, and the big deal is to break up... I never thought about asking him to make such a promise.

At this moment, Ji Ting and his wife were in a daze. Could it be that Carlos really fell in love with their innocent son

How is this possible

Grand Duke Ji Ting hesitated for a moment. Although he began to believe in Carlos's sincerity, he still didn't want to take risks, and laughed: "We know your sincerity, but Xiaoling's stubborn character is probably not suitable, so I don't have this Necessary... ”

Carlos smiled slightly: "I like him like this, and I can tolerate everything about him naturally. And I can guarantee that my marriage with him has nothing to do with anything else—"

He looked directly into the eyes of Shang Ji Ting and his wife, his eyes were deep and sharp, and said slowly: "I will not make any demands on the Ji family because of this."

The implication is that he only wants Ji Ling, and promises not to drag the Ji family into the battle between him and the emperor.

He knew what they were worried about.

Grand Duke Ji Ting fell silent again, this time even Mrs. Marina was silent. Carlos easily resolved all their worries, so that they could no longer find any excuse to refuse.

The two looked at each other quietly, and they didn't expect that the matter would develop to this point. Carlos could do this in order to marry Ji Ling, which was completely beyond their expectations. But no matter what, they still feel that this kind of person is not suitable for their son...

Mrs. Marina gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your great love for Xiaoling. We believe in your sincerity. But the most important thing about marriage is the child's own heart, so I'm sorry—"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded from the side, "I am willing."

Mrs. Marina looked up in astonishment, and saw Ji Ling wearing a white dress, with soft blond hair falling casually on her forehead, looking up to reveal a beautiful and delicate face, with calm and indifferent blue eyes.

He walked over step by step, glanced at Carlos lightly, opened his lips slightly, and said slowly and clearly to his father and mother: "I am willing to marry Uncle Carlos."

Both Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina were shocked. Didn't the son always like His Majesty? Even if there were some misunderstandings and unhappiness before, you won't like Carlos because of it? They knew very well that Ji Ling had always regarded Carlos as an elder before.

Mrs. Marina took her son's hand and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ling, what are you talking about? Haven't you always liked Your Majesty?"

Ji Ling raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I don't like it now."

Mrs. Marina wanted to persuade again: "But..."

Ji Ling interrupted her, and said in a calm voice: "I liked Your Majesty before, but who stipulated that I must always like him, and I can't like others?"

Grand Duke Ji Ting couldn't help but said, "Don't be angry."

Ji Ling's eyes were persistent, "I didn't say anything angry, I was serious. I used to like His Majesty, just because I was ignorant and admired him. Now that I am an adult, I know what real liking is. Carlos Uncle has always been very kind to me, I like him very much, and I am willing to marry him, can't I?"

Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina: "..."

Ji Ling said word by word: "Mom and Dad, don't you want me to be happy?"

The two of them were speechless because of Ji Ling's silence. They were completely unwilling in their hearts, and couldn't believe someone like Carlos. They thought that Ji Ling was still angry with Jing Sui because he was coaxed by Carlos... But Ji Ling Saying such things in front of Carlos, if I and others disagree, wouldn't I be that villain who beats mandarin ducks

Carlos—is not someone who can be kicked out casually by them!

Mrs. Marina was very anxious, her face was full of embarrassment and helplessness, and she wanted to drag Ji Ling back to criticize severely, but seeing Carlos sitting there firmly, she was too embarrassed to do so.

Grand Duke Ji Ting also had a blunt expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was at an impasse, Carlos stood up abruptly. He raised his hand and stroked Ji Ling's head, with a gentle and doting look in his eyes, then raised his head to face Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina, and said with a smile: " I know your worries about this matter, and I fully understand your feelings, but I will prove that I am sincere to Ji Ling, and you can trust him to me."

Seeing that things have come to this point, after a long time, Grand Duke Ji Ting finally showed a decisive expression, and said in a deep voice, "I can agree to your request, but there is one condition."

Carlos said, "What conditions?"

Grand Duke Ji Ting gave his wife a calm look, and said to Carlos: "Ji Ling is still young, and he will inevitably act impulsively, so I hope it is just an engagement now, and the real wedding must be held in a year."

Even if the child agrees to Carlos impulsively now, one year is enough for him to calm down and figure out what he wants, and then there will be time to dissolve the engagement, which will also give everyone a buffer.

If Carlos remains the same a year later and Ji Ling still insists on marrying him, then it is not impossible for them to agree to this marriage.

Grand Duke Ji Ting knew that his request was a little too much, but he had to do it for the sake of the child's future, and he didn't want the child to regret and suffer later.

This is also his bottom line.

Carlos looked at him fixedly, nodded without hesitation and said: "I agree to this condition, everything is subject to Xiaoling's wishes, if one day he is unwilling to marry me, this engagement can be terminated at any time, I will definitely I won't force it."

Hearing Carlos' words, Grand Duke Ji Ting and Mrs. Marina finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were still a little worried, they were not as resistant as they were at the beginning.

The son is determined to marry Carlos, what else can they do? I just hope the kid wakes up soon.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Ji Ling said, "Mom and Dad, Uncle Carlos and I are going out first."

Mrs. Marina and Grand Duke Ji Ting showed a weary smile.

Ji Ling turned around and left from here.

He walked in front, and Carlos followed behind him unhurriedly. When there was no one around, Ji Ling stopped, showed Carlos a complex expression of apology and gratitude, and whispered, "Thank you."

Carlos looked at Ji Ling with deep eyes, laughed lowly, and his voice was deep and magnetic: "What's so polite with me, it's just a matter of lifting a finger. I will let the whole world know that you are about to become my wife, so that His Majesty can no longer pester you is you."

Ji Ling nodded, his eyes were dim, and he seemed to be still immersed in sadness, showing a forced smile: "When His Majesty gives up, we will dissolve the engagement. I will cause you trouble during this time."

Carlos sighed, rubbed Ji Ling's head, and said slowly: "This is nothing troublesome, I am willing."

Ji Ling was about to be numb to death by him, and just wanted to get away early, pretending to be embarrassed, blushing, and lowering his eyes, he said: "Then I'll go back first, see you, Uncle Carlos."

Carlos smiled and nodded, watching the back of the young man leaving in a hurry, the corners of his lips slowly curled up.

... ... ...

Carlos did what he said, and that afternoon, the news of his marriage contract with Ji Ling hit the headlines and caused a sensation all over the country overnight!

Less than ten days after His Majesty confessed to Ji Ling in public, the news of Ji Ling and Carlos' engagement broke out, completely smashing Jing Sui's cuckold into stone!

This is incredible too!

The wealthy and powerful Grand Duke Carlos is about to marry, and he is going to marry Ji Ling, a well-known imperial dandy, and he is still trying to win his love from His Majesty!

His Majesty the Emperor was cuckolded and his wife was robbed, the hatred for taking his wife is so great!

What a shocking news!

Although the two parties have always been at odds with each other politically, it was only a private fight, and the surface is still harmonious. When they reach the status of His Majesty and Carlos, they will not easily make any irrational actions. After all, what they represent There are really too many... And now Carlos actually directly seized the love, it was like slapping Jing Sui in the face! Public teasing!

People all over the country are excited!

There are all kinds of gossip on the Internet every day, and there are several opinions that are very noisy and have different opinions.

Some people say that Ji Ling is a blue-faced villain. Although this dandy is hot, he is really good-looking. I didn't expect that Duke Carlos and His Majesty are both color-controlled, and they went so far to snatch a pompous dandy.

Some people also said that they didn't like Ji Ling, and they just used Ji Ling to play games. How could their wise and mighty Majesty and the elegant and noble Duke Carlos like that kind of dude? What beauties haven't they seen

Ji Ling stayed at home and watched the fire from the other side.

Anyway, what he wants is just a name, and he doesn't really intend to marry Carlos. He has already done what he should do, and now let Jing Sui and Carlos tear it up. It has nothing to do with him. Wait for them to tear it up. If there is a victory or defeat, no matter whether Carlos wins or loses, then he will be able to find a reason to terminate the engagement logically.

The system also watched the excitement and devoted itself, and couldn't help but sigh: [You are really popular now.]

Ji Ling: [Do you want this kind of fire, I'll give it to you?]

system:[…]

The system felt aggrieved. Recently, his host's mouth has become more and more poisonous, so he knows to take it out on himself. But when he thought that Ji Ling could only act presumptuously in front of him, he forgave him generously after thinking about it—he is a quality system.

That night, Ji Ling returned to his room after dinner, and met Wen Yan who was waiting for him again.

Ji Ling was almost numb to the fact that Wen Yan came to him if he had nothing to do. This villain didn't know where he was in this life, but he liked to waste time with him, and he clearly never saw how much he cared about him in his previous life.

Maybe rebirth makes people brain-dead

Fortunately, Wen Yan always pretended to be courteous in front of him, so Ji Ling treated him more casually, frowning and said, "What's the matter with you?"

But this time, this man who has always been calm and humble, his face was as cold as frost, his sharp eyes fixed on Ji Ling's eyes, and said, "You can't marry Carlos."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, this kind of Wen Yan made him alert all of a sudden, he thought to himself that I didn't intend to marry Carlos at first, but he said in a cold tone: "This is none of your business."

Hearing this, Wen Yan's chest heaved violently. As soon as he thought that Ji Ling was about to marry Carlos, he could no longer continue to pretend that nothing had happened. There was a cold light in his phoenix eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think His Majesty is using you?" , isn't Carlos using you?"

When Ji Ling heard that he was persuading himself again, he immediately showed a look of hatred for His Majesty, and said coldly, "So what."

Wen Yan's heart was cold, and he closed his eyes in pain, so... you trust Carlos so much? Since you are so easy to deceive, since Carlos can...then why can't I

He suddenly opened his eyes, the black ink welling in his eyes, he suddenly stepped forward to hold Ji Ling's wrist, and pulled him in front of him!

Ji Ling staggered and almost bumped into Wen Yan's body. His wrist was pinched in pain, and he raised his eyes to meet the man's sinister and paranoid black phoenix eyes. He shuddered subconsciously and said nervously, "You, what do you want to do?" what?"

Wen Yan looked at the face of the young man in front of him for a moment, and the longing that was suppressed in his heart seemed to break the last restraint, rushing out, trying to swallow all his restraint! If the final result is that Ji Ling marries Carlos with ulterior motives, then it's better... let him be yours!

Ji Ling finally got a little scared, and shouted sternly, "Let me go!"

Wen Yan lowered his eyes, looking at the panic in the young man's eyes, and the slightly pale face...

After a long time, he took a deep breath, slowly let go of his hand, lowered his eyes to hide the look in his eyes, and said lightly: "Sorry."

Ji Ling was really a little scared, so he ran away! I didn't dare to look back, wait... Didn't Wen Yan join forces with Jing Sui a long time ago? Could it be that he also came to be a lobbyist for Jing Sui? It was terrible!

Wen Yan's eyes fell on Ji Ling's back...

The look in his eyes gradually became dark and gloomy. When things have come to this point, Jing Sui must be willing to join hands with himself to eradicate Carlos' power as soon as possible. I won't let you stay by Carlos' side for too long...

This time, I won't let go.

So wait for me.

... ... ...

Ji Ling felt that he had been careless before, and was used to Wen Yan's humble attitude. He almost forgot that he was a sinister and vicious villain, and began to avoid Wen Yan vigilantly, but what surprised him was that Wen Yan hadn't appeared since that day. become busy.

Jing Sui didn't respond at all, and he didn't even come to him. Could it be that he really gave up this time

That's right... As the emperor of the empire, he can't steal other people's lovers, can he

Ji Ling slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly received a message from Carlos that day, inviting him to go out on a date.

Although he didn't want to go on a date with that old man at all, and he didn't want to play tricks with him, but Carlos said clearly, saying that since they are engaged now, it is normal to go out on a date, so it looks like it's real. without being suspected by others.

Ji Ling said in his heart, I believe you, but he still agreed for the sake of acting.

Carlos came to pick him up in person, and took him to a famous hotel in Emperor Star. From the floor-to-ceiling glass of the private room, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery outside. It is indeed a good place for a meal and a date.

Carlos ordered Ji Ling's favorite dish, and his expression was as gentle and pampering as ever: "I'm worried that you are always staying at home and you are in a bad mood. The food here is very good, and it was shipped from other galaxies that day. It tastes very delicious. Not bad, try it."

Ji Ling thought to himself, I know your purpose, you really don't need to act so hard, but as an excellent performer, he still showed a sad expression, lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, but I don't have an appetite."

Carlos looked at the boy's dim eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes, knowing that he still cared about Jing Sui, and he was jealous like a poisonous snake in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, he just sighed and asked: "Yes Is it... Is His Majesty still pestering you?"

Ji Ling shook his head.

Carlos nodded, with a look of worry in his deep eyes, and his voice was low: "Having said that, but don't take it lightly, he won't give up easily."

Ji Ling seemed very sad, but still said: "I know."

Halfway through his meal, he felt tired of being hypocritical and obedient, so he found an excuse to say it was convenient and let him breathe. After leaving Carlos, I felt that my breathing was a little easier. After all, that old fox was too vicious, and I always had to be extra cautious when acting in front of him.

Ji Ling stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and said with a dazed look: [What do you think that old fox is thinking? I promised to get engaged, what are you asking me out for?]

System: [Probably want to act more realistically? After all, you are quite a coaxing character, if you let him die, you can naturally use you to attack Jing Sui better.]

Ji Ling: [Why did you suddenly start to use your brain today...]

System: [I'm afraid you'll be bald.]

Ji Ling: […]

Ji Ling let out a breath, he had been out for a while, it was time to go back, but just as he turned around and came out of the bathroom, he almost bumped into the tall man with red hair and gray eyes in front of him, Ji Ling's expression froze, and then he showed a cold expression, I just want to bypass the opponent and go out.

As a result, the man took a step forward, his tall body was like a mountain, directly blocking his way.

Ji Ling: ...

Now he is upset when he sees Jing Sui's lobbyists!

Ji Ling said coldly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, please step aside."

Brandon looked at the boy's indifferent face and alienated attitude, and felt pain and sadness in his heart, but he didn't let it go, but said in a serious voice: "Carlos is not sincere to you, he is just using you, you know?"

Ji Ling laughed and raised his eyebrows: "I know, many people have already said this to me."

Brandon was a little anxious: "Then you still—"

Ji Ling interrupted him with cold eyes: "I know, but it doesn't mean I believe it. Uncle Carlos has always been very kind to me, he never hurt me, he has always cared about me and took care of me... But what about you?" Word by word: "Have you protected me well?"

Brandon paled.

Ji Ling laughed at himself: "You promised my father to protect me, but you left halfway and handed me over to His Majesty, and then let me fall into the hands of Gabriel... Actually, you don't care about my life at all, do you?" ?”

Brandon opened his mouth, but suddenly he was unable to refute. This reminded him of his previous life, where he also let the boy fall into the hands of the rebels because of his carelessness, and he was tortured and frightened.

This time, he thought that Jing Sui would definitely be able to protect the young man, so he chose to back down, but in the end, the young man was still hurt.

It's his fault.

After a while, he said hoarsely: "I... I'm sorry."

Ji Ling smiled, but his expression was very calm and indifferent, and said: "No, I don't need your sorry."

After speaking, he walked directly past Brandon.

Brandon didn't stop him this time.

Ji Ling found that he was getting more and more slippery with people now, and he could actually talk like this... Hey, sure enough, people are forced out, otherwise how can we get rid of these guys? The more Ji Ling thought about it, the more sad he felt.

He just wanted to go back quickly, but just after turning a corner, his footsteps stopped again. Ji Ling looked at the handsome young man with black hair and green eyes leaning against the wall, showing a toothache.

Why are you so unlucky today? Didn't these two guys guard him on purpose

Ji Ling put on a straight face, ignored Ning Yu and walked straight forward.

But just as he was about to pass by Ning Yu, Ning Yu suddenly spoke in a calm and warm voice: "Your Majesty and I have never had anything, you know that, right?"

Ji Ling really didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he heard this, he became angry again. As the protagonist, you don't want to go through your plot well, but you come to me to separate from the protagonist Gong. Are you trying to piss me off? Do you think you can inherit my money in this way? You are dreaming, I haven't spent money for a long time! ! !

Ji Ling turned his head and looked at him coldly, "Whether you have any relationship or not is none of my business."

Ning Yu stared deeply into his eyes, as if wanting to see through him, then chuckled suddenly, and said, "Really? Don't you like Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Ji Ling was taken aback for a moment, then his hairs stood on end and he became vigilant. His eyes turned red and he said in a sad and indignant voice: "Yeah, I don't like him anymore. Are you happy?"

He bit his lip and looked at Ning Yu fiercely, with a look of love and hatred, with a stubborn mouth, saying that he didn't like it, but it seemed like he was about to cry.

Ning Yu's brows were slowly wrinkled, and for a long time, a hint of indifference appeared in the usually gentle green eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched, and said: "If that's the case, then do what you say... don't like him anymore. "

Ji Ling:? ?

Didn't you come to persuade me, big brother

But before he could recover, Ning Yu had already turned around and left, leaving him with a free and easy back...

Ji Ling: ...

He stared blankly at Ning Yu's back and couldn't figure it out. Recently, everyone came to tell him that Jing Sui was sincere, told him not to trust Carlos, and asked him to return to His Majesty's side, but suddenly a Not persuading him, but telling him not to continue liking Jing Sui, is simply a mudslide... No, it's Qingliu!

Eh, wait! ! !

Ji Ling's eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that Ning Yu really has some interest in Jing Sui? That's why I told myself not to like Jing Sui

Otherwise, what reason is there to explain that he wants to talk to himself like this

I was so dazed during this time, I thought that Ning Yu also came to persuade him, you must know that Ning Yu and him are destined rivals in love! How can a rival in love come to persuade him, that's crazy, okay

Although Ning Yu disowned Jing Sui on the Internet before, that doesn't mean Ning Yu doesn't like Jing Sui anymore! Maybe Ning Yu likes Jing Sui, it's just that his haughty personality doesn't allow him to show it, that's why he ran on him with such a cold attitude just now, and gloated at his misfortune without persuading himself at all.

Is there even a little bit of hope in the plot of this world

Ji Ling was so excited that it was like a shot in the arm - Ning Yu actually liked Jing Sui! This is the only good news since this period of time! Sure enough, you are the most reliable good brother! As long as you don't persuade me to be with Jing Sui, we can still be friends!

He was in a much better mood when he returned.

Carlos was still there waiting for him.

Under the dim light, the man's mature and elegant face appeared deep and gentle, always with that unchanging calm appearance, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

Just as Ji Ling was about to say that he wanted to go home, he saw Carlos staring at him tenderly, and raised the corners of his lips: "I asked you out today, but I actually want to tell you something."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's the matter?"

Carlos had a smile in his eyes, and his voice was low and sweet: "I want to give you a grand engagement ceremony, and let everyone know how much I care about you."

When Ji Ling heard this, he almost lost his temper. It was already very difficult for him to agree to the marriage contract by acting on the spot, and now he wants to let Ji Zhinan and the man participate in a grand engagement ceremony! It's too embarrassing to be watched by everyone, Carlos must be dismissed!

Ji Ling said in a stiff tone: "No need, it's just a fake marriage contract anyway, why bother with this kind of ceremony?"

But this time Carlos did not agree with him, but bent down and stared into his eyes. In those deep brown eyes, darkness, complexity, worry and concern were intertwined, and he said slowly: "That being said, how can I I am willing to wrong you, let people criticize me for not being sincere to you, and even unwilling to give you an engagement ceremony? What's more... "

Ji Ling still wanted to refuse, but Carlos suddenly raised his finger, pressed it lightly on his lips, and said: "If you don't do this, His Majesty will definitely see that we are just playing on the spot, and then he still won't let you go … do you understand?"
