Half an hour later, an inconspicuous gray suspension vehicle drove into Duke Carlos' mansion without anyone noticing.
The silver-haired man bent down and got out of the car, looking up with a handsome and slightly feminine face.
The housekeeper, Anderson, had already received news that he was waiting here. Although the silver-haired man in front of him was only from a commoner background and seemed to be well-mannered, Anderson knew that he was not simple, and would not despise him like ordinary people.
Anderson said respectfully: "Hi, Your Excellency the Duke is waiting for you in the study."
Wen Yan raised the corners of his lips, his black phoenix eyes were always covered with a faint smile, and he nodded and said, "Thank you."
Anderson nodded, turned and led the way from the front.
They walked through a long corridor with exquisite statues on both sides, and came to a thick solid wooden door. Anderson opened the door, bowed and said, "Please come in."
Wen Yan walked in, and the door slowly closed behind him.
Carlos's study room is very spacious, with thick carpets on the floor, and a wall-to-ceiling bookcase directly opposite the door, where books of various editions are arranged in an orderly manner. After coming to the interstellar era, human beings have long abandoned the ancient reading method of paper, and gradually paper books have become a luxury.
The bookcases and books on the entire wall make the whole room look retro and luxurious.
Carlos's short brown hair was combed back meticulously, revealing a refined and deep face. He sat on the sofa with his hands clasped and looked up towards the door.
Wen Yan also looked at Carlos, narrowing his eyes slightly.
In the last life, this person betrayed Ji Ling time and time again, and finally killed him with his own hands.
In this life, what kind of thoughts do you have in mind to make such a move? Is it really for the alliance with Grand Duke Ji Ting, as outsiders said
Wen Yan's thoughts turned and turned, but nothing could be seen on his face. I have already discovered Carlos's abnormality, but Carlos does not know his own, because until now - I have not done any extraordinary behavior different from the previous life.
The enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark, which is his biggest advantage in facing Carlos.
Wen Yan showed a slightly displeased expression, frowned and said: "I came back from other star fields yesterday, and I heard a lot of interesting news by accident, and these news - not within our previous agreement."
Carlos raised his thin lips slightly, and said lightly: "I remember the content of the agreement between us, just to help you become the next speaker, and nothing else."
Wen Yan said: "Although that is the case, you help me because you hope that I can help you deal with Your Majesty as a civilian speaker. Before that, we should all be more low-key, right? Your doing so will only arouse His Majesty's vigilance , and thus affect our plans.”
Carlos paused for a moment, and the corner of his lips slowly curled into a sneering arc: "You are very dedicated... Standing by my side is to fight against your compatriots, you understand, right?"
Wen Yan smiled: "In my eyes, no one is worth giving up any interests except myself. What's more, a group of people who are not related to me. I don't think the sensational term 'citizens' is suitable."
Carlos chuckled.
It's exactly the same as the previous life. It's a cold-blooded animal with selfishness carved into its bones. In order to achieve its own goals, it does not hesitate to do things to frame Ji Ling and the entire Ji family. It is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
Carlos once admired Wen Yan like this very much. He is the same kind of person as himself, and as long as they have common goals or enough interests, they can become a good partner.
But seeing the other party again at this moment, Carlos only had cold disgust in his heart.
In the previous life, I didn't understand the goodness of the young man, and let this sinister and cunning white-eyed wolf lurk beside the young man. In order to have the opportunity to take the young man as his own, he not only framed Ji Ling and caused him to be expelled from the Emperor Star, but also made a deal with himself. Destroy the entire Ji family.
In this life, this transaction will never exist again.
You want the position of speaker, you want to be superior, you want money and power... It doesn't matter, as long as you can be used by me, I can give it to you. But there is only one person, but I cannot give you.
That is - Ji Ling.
Coveting Ji Ling is the biggest mistake you ever made.
Carlos stood up from the sofa, looked directly into Wen Yan's eyes, and spoke slowly, with a meaningful tone: "Since you are here, then I will just say it, I will help you, and you will give me what I deserve. As for Other people and other things, it’s best not to—wishful thinking.”
Wen Yan's face changed slightly, and he met Carlos' cold eyes.
At this moment, he faintly felt the other party's killing intent!
Carlos, is he really reborn...
This is clearly a hint that he should not be delusional about Ji Ling, but his thoughts have always been hidden deeply, and now Carlos... shouldn't know at all!
But if Carlos was reborn, he never cared about Ji Ling in the last life, why did his attitude change so much in this life
Wen Yan suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, frowned and said tentatively: "I don't know why you have such an idea, the Ji family is just a stepping stone for me to climb up, and no one or anything is worth it except the position of the speaker. I care. But you suddenly changed your plan and acted like this, don't you need to give me an explanation? "
Carlos sneered, do you still have to hide it now? But it doesn't matter if you don't want to reveal it, I won't allow anyone to hurt me this time, whether it's Ji Ling himself or the Ji family.
And you are not yet qualified to be my opponent.
Carlos looked at Wen Yan, the innate aloofness in his brown eyes was undoubtedly revealed, and he said condescendingly: "There is no need to explain my behavior to you, you just need to know that no one is allowed to covet my things.
enough. "
Wen Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and the cold look in his eyes flashed away.
After a while, he shrugged his shoulders and let out a careless laugh: "Well, since the Ji family is what you want, naturally I won't do anything unnecessary."
Carlos said calmly, "It's best if you think about it this way."
Wen Yan's surface was calm, but his heart was full of turmoil, because Carlos' words made him have a very absurd idea, that is——Carlos may not be doing this for calculation, but to protect Ji Ling!
But how is this possible? !
What made him make such a change
But…
Even if he can realize Ji Ling's good side, then Carlos will also realize it after his rebirth. This possibility is also possible...
It's just that the information in front of him is really limited, and it's hard for Wen Yan to make any decisions.
Today's trip has gotten a lot of news, Wen Yan didn't want to scare the snake for the time being, so he paused, and ended the conversation with his own thoughts with a smile: "I came here today for this matter... I hope this little accident , will not affect our cooperation."
... ... ...
Ji Ling stayed at home with nothing to do, counting the days of Ning Yu's return with his fingers.
Speaking of it, I haven't received a gift from Carlos for several days, and I'm not used to it, but after thinking about it, I think it's a good thing. Carlos is finally willing to give up, congratulations!
The only thing that worries him is that although Carlos finally gave up the sense of presence for the time being, Wen Yan has been circling in front of him since he came back.
It feels like you are singing and I will appear on the stage.
Tired.
"Master, are you thirsty?" Wen Yan's gentle and hoarse voice rang in Ji Ling's ears.
Sitting on the rattan chair, Ji Ling's body stiffened slightly, and he turned to look at the silver-haired man standing beside him. He bowed his head with a humble expression, and the sunlight made his silver hair shine.
Ji Ling was complaining inwardly. I just wanted to bask in the sun and take a nap in the yard. Although my hobby is to step into the ranks of the elderly too early, do you need to serve me so wholeheartedly
Your general election is about to begin, hurry up and get busy with your political struggle!
Ji Ling was depressed, but he didn't dare to show it. He just shook his head: "I'm not thirsty."
Wen Yan stopped talking and stood there quietly.
Looking at his posture, Ji Ling seemed to intend to stay by his side forever, is that okay? ! I have already worked hard at pretending to be acting, even if it is an exam, I have to have a rest time, right? You stay here like an invigilator, I don't want to be lazy...
No, we must find a way!
Ji Ling's heart moved, Wen Yan has always been a man of no benefit, and he must have a purpose for staying by his side, but what can I give him? It's nothing more than helping him drive away some flies, and then spending money and effort!
When he thought of this, he suddenly realized that he was still too careless, and he didn't even think about such a simple truth.
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, stood up and looked up and said, "I heard that you participated in the general election recently?"
Wen Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Ji Ling let out a contemptuous sneer, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and squinted at him, "Only you, dare to think about that seat?"
Wen Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he was not even a bit unhappy, and said softly: "It's just a try."
Ji Ling didn't seem to like him at all, but after a while, he switched on his communicator and transferred a large amount of money to Wen Yan. He raised his head with a proud little expression, and said with disgust: "You can use the money and manage it carefully, regardless of whether you can succeed in the end... Anyway, you are also from my Ji family, so don't look shabby all day, go out The one who lost me."
Wen Yan looked at him deeply, and after a while, lowered his eyes respectfully: "Yes."
After Ji Ling finished speaking, looking at Wen Yan's still indifferent appearance, he thought to himself that he was really calm, and he deserved to be the most tolerant and insidious villain in the novel.
Tsk tsk tsk, Ji Ling waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Wen Yan didn't move, but asked, "Don't you need my service?"
Ji Ling said angrily: "Do I seem to be in need of someone to serve?!"
Wen Yan looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to be finally a little annoyed, noticed the flash of discomfort in his eyes, couldn't help softening his heart, and pressed the corners of his upturned lips.
Speaking of it, although Ji Ling looks arrogant outside, he is actually not a person who likes to be served by others at home. He seems to prefer being alone than being surrounded by people.
He is the one who is domineering and flamboyant, and he is also the one who is alone and quiet.
But such two contradictory sides seem to fit so well in his body, intertwined into a unique charm, which makes people involuntarily indulged in nostalgia.
He gave himself money obviously because he wanted to help himself, and he didn't want to see himself lose so badly outside... But he wanted to say something hurtful, as if he was afraid that others would know his sincerity, probably as a nobleman, he subconsciously thought that he wanted to It's abnormal to help a lowly commoner, isn't it
But in the end kindness prevailed.
The expression in Wen Yan's eyes was extremely gentle, the deep darkness seemed to be turned into a pool of thick ink, and a silent vortex swept everything.
Ji Ling fell into his line of sight, and once again felt the horrifying gaze of Wen Yan the day before, he quickly looked away, and sat down on the chair angrily! The money is taken, what more do you want!
If you don't go, don't go, let you go!
Ji Ling stopped watching Wen Yan, and just checked the news. Ning Yu should be back today, right? He swiped for a long time, and finally saw a brand new news that made it to the headlines of the major star networks in an instant.
The most popular civilian heroes recently, national idol Ning Yu and Marshal Brandon, who are known as the stars of tomorrow, are finally back!
Because this time the battle with the Zerg in the Nador galaxy was a complete victory, it is said that they will all be received by His Majesty Jing Sui.
Ji Ling's eyes lit up, and suddenly he had another idea.
According to his understanding of the plot direction of this book, Wen Yan and Ning Yu will become friends who help each other after becoming the speaker. Although there is no clear description in the article, it seems to imply that Wen Yan has a different meaning for Ning Yu.
In this heartthrob interstellar story, no one, no matter the hero or the villain, can resist Ning Yu's aura of the protagonist!
Ji Ling turned off the news and turned to look at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan looked up at him.
Ji Ling sneered contemptuously: "What star of tomorrow? It's just a lowly commoner. Even if you come to Emperor Star, so what if you are received by His Majesty? Could it be that you really think you can reach the sky in one step? In the end, it's not the same as you , become our lackeys. To be a human being is to be a little self-aware.”
Wen Yan pursed his thin lips, and the expression in his eyes finally changed.
Ji Ling showed a smug look, and it was right to sacrifice Ning Yu! He glanced at Wen Yan disdainfully, and continued to sculpt as if he were dead.
Wen Yan's hands tightened slowly, staring at Ji Ling.
After being reborn, he kept telling himself that as long as he could stay by this person's side and see him happy, he would be satisfied, and he didn't dare to expect too much. But at this moment, listening to Ji Ling's words, watching him caring about Jing Sui's few words, thinking of all the things he did because of Ning Yu in the previous life...
Only then did I know that I was so jealous.
These beautiful eyes have been chasing only Jing Sui from the beginning to the end, and they never... looked back at themselves seriously.
Whether it is the last life or this life.
That's all.
The color of jealousy and pain in the depths of Wen Yan's eyes gradually emerged, and it was as dark as night, and he said word by word: "Really?"
