Chapter 4: restraint

The sound of broken wine glasses immediately caught everyone's attention.
Rhodes and Sant turned their heads back, their hands on the female companion froze, and they turned into two stone statues in shock: "..."
Are they dazzled? !!
The hall was noisy just now, and for a moment it was only the sound of everyone's breathing.
If Carlos appeared at Ji Ling's ritual banquet, although everyone was still reluctant to accept it, Carlos appeared today in this vulgar entertainment place where only their sister-in-law came ... It makes them unable to understand. It's too out of place.
Ji Ling couldn't understand it either. He opened his eyes blankly and looked at the man who appeared suddenly in disbelief.
He really couldn't lie to himself that this was an accident.
Carlos cleaned his cuffs gracefully, his eyes were lowered, and Nie Tianqi hung high, his thin lips provoked a low voice: "Not yet, are you waiting for me to leave?"
The sound was so bland and even mild, but Nie Tianqi only felt a chill and heartfelt. The next moment, he stood up beside Ji Ling, shaking and shivering, "I, I'm leaving! "
Rushing out without saying a word, walking back and forth, dare not even say the last word for mercy!
Only left Ji Ling with a hurried back ...
Ji Ling: "..."
When Carlos saw Nie Tianqi leave, he looked back and glanced around, his eyebrows narrowed slightly.
In fact, as soon as Ji Ling went out, he got the news. His teenager is so beautiful and seductive, I don't know how many people should hit him, and the chaotic private life of the aristocracy makes him even more worried. He is worried that the teenager will be touched by others ... After thinking about it, I decided to come in person.
Unexpectedly, I saw such a scene. The boy of the Nie family was so bold and bold that he dared to use such a mean means to his teenager, for he was impatient to live.
And in the last life, he was negligent, and he did not know whether he was insulted and possessed by others when he did not know.
The thought of Carlos's anger raging here, but he looked back at Ji Ling's shocked and confused look, and realized that his expression might scare him, and quickly covered the coldness in his eyes.
After a pause, Carlos slowly showed a gentle and petting smile, raised his hand and gently brushed the soft hair before Ji Ling's forehead, and teased, "How? I was surprised to see me?"
Ji Ling: "..." Not only accidents, I was also scared! I'm scared when you laugh ...
As for Rhodes, at this moment, they only shivered beside them, trying to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible.
They are here for fun, but now they regret it, they do n’t know which mold they have poured, and they can meet this kind of big brother when they go out to drink a flower wine. Grand Duke Los is more terrible than their father ...
Who knows that the Grand Duke Carlos is absolutely not offending the entire empire? Hidden beneath its aristocratic surface, it is the horror that has made countless people tremble ...
Ji Ling was silent for a while, still stubbornly said, "Are you all right here?"
Carlos stared at him gently, and said, "It's late, I'll pick you up home."
His tone was bland, and he always seemed to get along with Ji Ling like this, and he didn't even realize how amazing he was!
Ji Ling: "!!!"
Are we familiar? I called you uncle. Are you really my uncle?
That's polite, okay?
As soon as Carlos said this, everyone's eyes changed when looking at Ji Ling. It was both envious and complicated. I did not expect that Ji Ling was so favored by the Grand Duke Carlos.
Now it seems ... Carlos and the Ji family have a very close relationship, and Carlos even came to pick up Ji Ling home, so coddled that his own juniors would not get this treatment!
Everyone's mind is constantly changing. It seems that in the future, Ji Ling must be more careful. Nie Tianqi's lesson from the past can never be made!
Ji Ling was also shocked after he was shocked. At first he thought that Carlos was afraid he was not crazy, but soon realized that this was probably a conspiracy of Carlos!
He pretends to be familiar with himself, and then shows himself to the public in order to make everyone misunderstand that Ji Jia and he are on a boat, creating a fait accompli that makes him inexplicable ... This trick is really insidious and too mean It's up!
It was something he did!
it is good……
Don't you pretend to be an affable elder? I'll see when you can put it on. Don't think I don't know, but you look down on me like this.
Ji Ling originally wanted to go home. Suddenly his eyes turned, and he refused arbitrarily, "But I don't want to go back yet."
Everyone took a breath, and some people dared to refuse Carlos!
Rhodes shivered. Although he was accustomed to Ji Ling's willfulness, today is the first time he was worried about Ji Ling's willfulness. Brother dei, please look at the subject before you refuse ...
Ji Ling did not receive Rhodes' brain waves at all.
When he finished looking at Carlos, he waited for him to show his displeased expression and shook his hands away. After waiting for a long time, Carlos didn't show any disappointment, but sighed helplessly: "You ..."
Then he raised his hand and touched Ji Ling's head, as if touching some kind of cute little animal. He naturally sat down beside him and smiled, "I'll stay with you."
Ji Ling: "?????"
Rhodes and Sant: "!!!"
Why don't you follow the routine?
Ji Ling was a little dumbfounded. Seeing that Carlos was really planning to stay with him like this, he couldn't help but stunned. What was this?
But just give up? That must not work!
Carlos was like this, Ji Ling became more frustrated and brave, tearing-tearing Carlos's false mask, and unhappy and coquettishly said: "But you can't let go if you stay here, I can go back later. ... and why are you scaring Nie Tianqi, he is my good friend! You were too much. "
As soon as the voice fell, I saw Carlos's eyes that were always gentle and cold, and the temperature around them instantly dropped!
Ji Ling was startled, but quickly raised his head, stubbornly looking at Carlos's eyes.
Huh, I thought you could do it, so I can't help it anymore!
Carlos's thin lips curled up, and the anger that had finally been suppressed appeared again. If you hadn't stopped Nie Tianqi just now, what would happen next? And now you blame me for not driving him out, so ... even if something really happens, you don't care?
He looked down slightly, looking at the boy's face, as he remembered it, vivid and innocent ...
And he had been for a long time, and he had never seen such a publicity, Carlos' heart seemed to be filled with some kind of softness, his eyes appearing nostalgic.
No, Ji Ling doesn't know anything. He just doesn't know how to guard against others. He doesn't know how dangerous those close to him will be, how to calculate him, and maybe even hurt him ...
Just as he always believed in himself, he never doubted that he might hurt him.
It was never him who was wrong, but those who were arrogant.
Including the ruthless and ruthless self.
The coldness in Carlos' eyes slowly dissipated. He looked around and asked gently: "I'm here to make you uncomfortable?"
Lodz and Sant: "..."
After a moment of silence, there were enthusiastic voices in the hall.
"How could it be!"
"We are all very happy to be here."
"Her Carlos, my father often told me that you are his most admired person."
"It's our pleasure to see you!"
"Be sure to enjoy your time without worrying about us."
"Your presence makes this place flourish."
Carlos then turned around, looked at Ji Ling, and smiled: "Look, I'm not here to restrain everyone."
Ji Ling: "..."
OK, you're cruel enough, you must be waiting for me today, right? Then I'll just let you wait. Is he the first person to wait for Carlos?
It's kind of exciting to think about it.
Ji Ling also came up, because of the spice, his brain was a little more excited. He simply stopped carlos and turned back to Rhodes: "Come, let's continue drinking!"
In the corner of Rhodes's eye, Yu Guang quietly glanced at Carlos, and never dared to look at it again, holding back a shaking-shaking hand, and hitting a glass with Ji Ling.
Ji Ling drank the fruit wine in one drink!
Speaking of which, the wine here tastes really good. The sweetness with fruit in the mellow scent is his favorite taste. The so-called fine wine on the earth, even if you drink it, will not feel uncomfortable, just like Qiongjiangyu-liquid. .
Not bad!
So Ji Ling filled himself with another cup.
Rhodes watched Ji Ling drink from cup to cup, nervously trying to grab his wine glass, but because Carlos was on the side, he was afraid to move at all, only showing an anxious look. He forgot to say to Ji Ling ... Although the wine tasted like fruit juice, the degree was quite high.
If Ji Ling is drunk in the presence of Dr. Carlos and drunk, he thinks of this, and feels that he is afraid of death soon ...
It was miserable.
It's really miserable.
Speaking of it, why is he having this party today?
Sure enough, there is no turning back in life.
Ji Ling didn't care what Rhodes thought. Carlos was so vicious and fierce. Now that he has done this, it is impossible to do it for himself now, because it is equal to a complete break with Ji Ting. Although his father is slightly inferior to Carlos, but also has a very high status in the empire. When Jing Sui was still a great enemy, it was not worth it to offend him.
Carlos does things without any feelings, only weighing the pros and cons.
Kill yourself because of this little thing? This kind of thing is of no benefit. Ji Ling feels that he will not do it. Although he seems to be dying now, at least he is safe at the moment, and he can read the file and come back!
Ji Ling thinks like this, coupled with the drunkenness, she becomes even more fearless!
Carlos was sitting next to Ji Ling, watching him drink from cup to cup, and a faint red halo gradually appeared on his face, but the water-blue eyes became brighter, like a small cluster of flames burning in the ice flames, So dazzling.
The juvenile is different from anyone else. His publicity seems to be born in his bones.
A strange color gradually appeared under Carlos' eyes. Seeing that Ji Ling was drinking too much, he finally raised his hand and covered it on Ji Ling's glass. His voice was deep and hoarse: "You are drunk."
But drunk people often feel that they are not drunk.
Ji Ling glared at Carlos, with a touch of red in the corner of his eyes, and raised his voice: "I didn't, let go!"
Carlos looked at him deeply.
Seeing that he was unwilling to let go, Ji Ling pushed him unhappy, but suddenly he was gripped by a strong hand-holding his wrist, and then was pulled into a wide and strong embrace, and made a stunned surprise call.
Carlos wrapped the boy's shoulder in one hand, bowed his head slightly, and said in his ear: "Don't drink."
The burning breath fell on the ear, Ji Ling twisted uneasily, and struggling, said glumly, "Why do you care about me, you let go, I want to continue drinking!"
Carlos looked still, looked up at Rhodes and others, and said lightly, "He's drunk. I'll send him back first."
Lodz and others were panicked and flattered. I didn't expect Carlos would talk to them. Where would I dare to say more? Nods again and again: "Okay, okay, trouble you!"
Carlos nodded slightly, then glanced down at the restless little guy in his arms like a kitten with teeth and claws, his eyes flashed away, and he reached out and hugged him horizontally.
Ji Ling was dizzy, his head hit Carlos' neck and rubbed his nose, only to find that Carlos picked up himself. Who said he was leaving? He hasn't forced the true face of this old yet! So he shouted, "What are you doing ?!"
But Carlos simply ignored it and stepped forward directly holding Ji Ling.
He got into the suspended vehicle and ordered the artificial intelligence: "Go back."
Ji Ling was unwilling to rest along the way, waving her fingernails to inadvertently scratch Carlos's cheek, and then stunned for a moment ... Although he was drunk, his instinct still seemed to be wrong, and he was agitated.
Carlos had a slight chin pain, lowered his head, and stared blankly at the boy.
Ji Lingxuan looked at him, and said subconsciously, "Aren't you angry?"
Carlos looked at him with a smile, and said quietly, "Why am I angry? You didn't do anything wrong."
Ji Ling's eyes were dull, and he made a noise for one night, and scratched his paw. Was there anything wrong? Was Carlos such a good-natured man? How different from his memory ...
He wanted to think more, but he was a bit too drunk and tired, and his eyelids started to fight involuntarily.
When Carlos saw this, he slightly folded his arms, letting Ji Ling lean more comfortably in his arms, a faint smile on her lips, and said softly, "Sleep, I will take you home."
This low magnetic sound, falling into Ji Ling's ears, apparently came from a terrible villain, but it seemed to have some magic, reassuringly drowsy, and he may be really drunk today.
Ji Ling could no longer restrain his drowsiness, leaned on Carlos's arms, and soon fell asleep.
Carlos stared at the handsome face of the boy, his long eyelashes faintly shadowed under the eyes, and he was quiet like a sleeping angel.
Such beauty, however, made him reminiscent of the last look of the boy of the last life.
In the last life, the boy who had lost everything was exiled to that distant remote planet. He was not allowed to appear on Emperor Star again. He lost all the glory of the aristocracy that belonged to him.
Pale, melancholy, fragile ... No more publicity at the beginning, he exhausted everything to love that person, but ended up only in such an ending. No one cares, and there is such an abandoned child, alone facing despair.
But despite this, the setback did not obliterate the last clarity and beauty in his eyes.
After being mercilessly betrayed and hurt by someone you love ...
Still looking forward to his expectations, he asked him so carefully: they all lied to me, and you wouldn't treat me like that, right? Uncle Carlos.
Perhaps it is not that he is unwilling to recognize the reality. Only hope is the last strength to support him.
And he failed him.
The pain in Carlos's eyes gradually surfaced.
Probably from that moment, he finally began to regret what he did, regret his indifference ... because he couldn't face the clear and bright eyes calmly, and gave him a positive answer.
That shouldn't be your ending, the worry-free happiness today ... it should be what you were, and I hope you can continue to do so.
These beautiful eyes no longer have the hatred, jealousy, pain, despair of the previous life.
This time, I will never allow anyone to hurt you again.
In Carlos's eyes, there was a faint determination to get the dark and determined, like the deep starry sky, silently devouring everything. He stared at the young man's face, and for the first time a strange desire arose from the bottom of his heart ... longing to be gazed by his more intense eyes, longing for him to be closer to himself.
Not content with being just an admired elder.
Carlos shook his throat. For a long time, he lowered his head and gently put a restrained kiss on Ji Ling's forehead.
In this life, you will belong to me alone.
………………
The next day Ji Ling woke up stupidly, his heart was worthy of the good wine, and he would not get a headache the next day after drinking so much ... In fact, he would rarely get drunk. If it was not for the purpose of stimulating Carlos last night, Indulge in such a way that you can't remember what happened later.
But I was so upset all night, should it be effective?
Ji Ling looked forward to asking the system: [Did Carlos get angry yesterday? 】
The system fell into a weird silence.
Ji Ling is puzzled: [What's wrong with you? Is he really angry? Is it difficult to answer this question? 】
System: [No. 】
Ji Ling was shocked: "Isn't this angry? This is not logical. The whole text of this book describes how the villain Carlos is insidious and terrible. He never said that he still has such a patient side! Is it necessary for me to do this?
The system said heavily: "Yes. 】
Ji Ling was stunned and asked: "So how did I get back last night? 】
System: [He sent it. 】
Ji Ling: [……]
Systemically, you drunk and scratched his paw yesterday, but lest you be afraid, I didn't say anything thoughtful.
Ji Ling learns that his plan failed yesterday. Not only was Carlos not angry, he also sent himself back, only to feel prosperous, but he did not expect ... he still has such a humiliating side!
He still underestimated him!
Opening the communicator, Ji Ling saw Rhodes' message and carefully asked him if he was okay.
Ji Ling turned off the communicator facelessly. Not good, he was not good at all!
It's not good all over!
………………
With this happening, Ji Ling was even more out of mood to play.
Recently Carlos is very abnormal. Although he thinks he should not be able to appear again, Ji Ling does not want to take risks. Such thrills once again are not conducive to the healthy growth of his weak mind.
Originally he was worried about how others would invite him again, but how he should refuse, but during this time, everyone seemed to be tacitly no longer asked him to go out, even Rhodes seemed to be at ease.
Ji Ling was a little accustomed at first, but soon realized that it seemed that Carlos's appearance not only scared himself, but also shocked others! No one dares to go out with him.
It's not entirely useless to want to come ...
Ji Ling was in a mixed mood.
He stayed at home like this, and finally lived the life of his dead house as he wished, while counting the days for Ning Yu to return.
The only thing that makes Ji Ling feel inadequate is ...
Although Carlos no longer appeared in front of him, but did not miss any chance to brush his presence in front of him, and sent various gadgets to his house for three days and two ends.
Beautiful jewelry, delicious snacks, delicate clothes, etc ...
All of them are special products from different galaxies in the universe. Although these gadgets are not as valuable as blue starfish, they are time-consuming and laborious, and they have the feeling of laughing on the concubine.
Don't say ... At least he still likes it.
When people sit at home, they can eat all the food in the universe. It feels good, and they never refuse food.
The system expressed helplessness: [You seem to be assured? 】
Ji Ling threw a piece of fruit into his mouth: "Why not rest assured? His purpose is to coax me! Envelope my father! It's impossible to send me poisonous food, that's more than worth it. 】
The system was speechless.
Ji Ling was very happy. Whenever he was satisfied with the food, he would have a feeling.
If you hadn't been in God's perspective and had already done the task again, you would have already seen the true face of this big villain, I am afraid that you must believe that he is sincere.
Alas, do n’t eat white.
These can't be eaten after returning home.
………………
Time passed day by day, seeing that the day when Ning Yu returned was getting closer, Ji Ling would have the illusion that the holiday was coming to an end.
That night he was lying on the tree watching the stars again, and suddenly he saw the lights in the distant banquet hall brightly, and there was a faint noise, and he thought of it, and suddenly remembered something.
Just today, another important supporting role is back, that is, the future speaker Wen Yan, who will be powerful in the empire.
In this book, as a civilian-evolved evolutionary, Ning Yu shines in the army, while the spiritual evolutionary Wen Yan chose the path to politics.
Every civilian who enters Emperor Star through his own evolutionary strength is very good, but even the best among the civilians, once they enter Emperor Star and face many nobles, they are just like mortals who break into the immortal world.
Therefore, in order to obtain a backing, they usually choose to enter different factions and become subordinates or vassals of a certain noble ... In order to maintain the stability of their rule, the nobles will not completely block the path of civilian promotion, they will The evolver incorporated into his Majesty and gradually assimilated into a part of the imperial nobility.
However, despite accepting them on the surface, the superiority engraved in the bones cannot be erased. In the eyes of the aristocracy, these civilians are still lower races.
Inferior labels in their bloodlines will not disappear because of their strength.
Wen Yan faced this difficult status quo. After becoming an evolutionary, he was taken over by the Ji family, and then released to the Ji family's territory to become a planetary lord. He returned a few years later and entered the parliament as a civilian And became an ordinary lawmaker.
For a civilian, it is almost the end of this step.
But not for Wen Yan.
Because Ji Ling knows that in the next general election, Wen Yan will unstoppably defeat all opponents who despise him in an unpredictable manner, becoming the first civilian speaker in history!
And firmly stood in his place.
Ji Ling looked at the lights in the distance, and after a moment of silence jumped down from the tree. Although he is a bit taboo about this person's deep-seated, he doesn't want to go too close to him, but there really is a plot to play on his own.
Because the original book has such a plot description: The general idea is that Wen Yan was forbearing before he was elected Speaker, and easily gained the trust of Master Ji's master. With the help of Ji's power, he gradually gained more right to speak for himself. purpose. Simply put, while using you, meanwhile despise you, and treat Master Ji's family completely as a fool.
Having said that, Ji Ling, the arrogant and stupid master, came to the banquet hall dedicatedly.
The door is open. Inside are all well-dressed men and women, part of his father Ji Ting's subordinates, and part of the nobles who have intimate relations with the Ji family. The father occasionally holds such banquets, giving everyone a A platform for communicating feelings is a kind of routine political activity.
Generally speaking, this kind of banquet Ji Ling will not attend. His person is a simple love brain. In his eyes, he can't let go of anything except Jing Sui. He never participated in these intricate things. It should be a coincidence today.
Ji Ling followed the memory of the last life and walked into the corner, and sure enough he saw the handsome man of long height.
The man's long silver hair was meticulously tied behind his head and dangled on his back. His face was handsome, but his eyes were slightly narrow, which added a touch of femininity to his appearance. His dark eyes never reached the bottom, and it never seemed to Reveal any extra emotions, always smile, not humble or exaggerated, let people see through his mind.
From the appearance alone, Wen Yan is not lost to any imperial nobility at all, even before.
For example, in the face of other people's difficulties and insults, he still has no emotion on his face, but just looks at the other person lightly.
Lord Richard looked at Wen Yan's calm dark eyes. Although the man didn't say a word, he felt inexplicably scorned and made him angry.
It is clear that they are the nobles of the highest rank, but they are treated as such by a lowly civilian.
Lord Richard looked at Wen Yan coldly, and said eccentrically, "Yo, I said I can't get through here, I think you should go back."
Wen Yan said indifferently: "Thank you for your concession. I have something to ask you to see Lord Duke."
Lord Richard sneered, "Master Duke is very busy, but he may not have time to see you. You can only enter the council to look like a stupid pariah, and in your capacity, you really think that Lord Duke will Reuse you? "
This is very mean, but Wen Yan is still calm, no anger or other emotions can be seen in the dark eyes.
Lord Richard was finally enraged and said ruthlessly: "As a dirty pariah, there should be a little pariah's self-knowledge. Don't think that becoming a member of the parliament is one of us, now get out of here immediately. , Okay? "
Ji Ling came to see this scene, oh ...
Even without the plot of the original book, he couldn't get used to this behavior!
Ji Ling picked up a glass of wine around him and splashed it directly on Lord Richard's face, standing up between the two, blocking Wen Yan behind him, then raising his brows contemptuously, looking Lord Richard, with a slight tone of voice, "What kind of thing do you dare to embarrass me?"
"It's time to get out of here-it's you," Ji Ling said coldly. 2k novel reading network
