Chapter 83 In Your Name
The four eyes faced each other, one had a sharp look, the other had an empty look but refused to give in at all.
At that moment, Meng Jin suddenly understood something.
"You... like this little captain."
His figure swayed, and he held onto the table to steady himself.
Wen Wan looked away and did not answer the question.
Meng Jin gave a forced forced smile, as if it was difficult to accept this fact, and left the room with empty steps.
Outside the door, the sun was shining brightly, but Meng Jin only felt cold to the core.
Once she missed it, now she was no longer the little girl chasing him through the streets.
She belongs to someone, but the person she loves is no longer him.
But he is not willing to give in!
Meng Jin thought of this and kicked over the lotus vat.
The porcelain pieces were shattered on the ground, and pink lotus flowers were mixed with the mud. Among them, a few goldfish with bulging eyes continued to struggle, and finally died.
In the distance, several young men glanced in this direction. Seeing Meng Jin's gloomy face, they all did not dare to step forward.

After Meng Jin left, he didn't see Wen Wan again for a whole day. Only a cook brought food to the side room on time.
Wen Wan had no appetite, so she put down her chopsticks after taking two bites of the food.
The cook stood by the side to serve, and shook her head helplessly when she saw this.
In the dead of night, Meng Jin knocked on the door and walked in.
As he got closer, the smell of alcohol hit his face.
"Have you been drinking?" Wen Wan stepped back unconsciously.
Meng Jin responded gruffly, seeming to be unable to stand still. He took two steps forward and fell at her feet.
He got up dejectedly, and instead of getting up, he sat slumped on the spot with his back on the chair.
"Xiaowan."
After he called softly, there was nothing more to say.
Wen Wan hadn't heard him speak, and was just wondering when she heard steady breathing from her feet.
Is this... asleep?
Wenwan thought quietly for a moment, then tiptoed out of bed.
She was suddenly taken away. Agui and Shen Zhou didn't know how anxious they should be. She had to go back as soon as possible.
The light at night was too dark, and Wen Wan couldn't see anything clearly. She stumbled to the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she was held down on her shoulders.
"Xiaowan, where do you want to go?"
She froze and answered bravely: "I want to go to the convenience store, but you are in the room, I'm embarrassed."
Urine escape, a tried and true excuse.
It wasn't that Meng Jin couldn't tell. He lowered his eyes and did not expose her lie. He only said softly:
"Gong Tong is behind the screen. I'm going back to my room to rest. You can do it yourself."
After saying that, he pushed the door open over Wenwan and went out. When he turned around to close the door, he said again:
"Xiao Wan, you have bad eyesight. Don't go out at night. You are surrounded by my people, so you can't walk far. If you bump into me, you will be hurt."
The door was closed again.
Wen Wan's face also completely darkened.
Oh, what he said was so affectionate and righteous, why didn't he just bully her into being a blind person and lock her up here?
Forcibly taking her away, completely ignoring her wishes, and not respecting her choice at all. Such a man, no matter how infatuated he pretends to be, is just to satisfy his own selfishness.
As long as she is not a masochist, she will not be dizzy and have feelings for this kind of person.
However, he was right about one thing. It was late at night and her eyesight was not good. It was indeed too risky to escape.
Once you get there, make peace with it.
Wen Wan has always been an open-minded person. As long as Meng Jin doesn't want her life, she should eat and sleep.

When the cook brought in the food again, she found that Wen Wan's appetite suddenly improved. She reported the news to Meng Jin, but Meng Jin didn't say anything, only told her to be careful.
"Mr. Meng said, as long as you don't leave this courtyard, you can tell me whatever you want. If you want to listen to the opera, I will find someone to come and sing for you."
The cook helped Wen Wan sunbathe in the yard and kept saying good things to Meng Jin.
"I followed Mr. Meng from the Imperial Capital to the border town. I have never seen Mr. Meng so close to a woman. Mr. Meng even went to buy ready-made clothes for the girl early in the morning. They were all made of the best materials. Even the patterns were made by him himself. Picked.”
"I've put all the clothes in the cabinet for you. It's such a big cabinet. You can change it and wear it until next year."
"Mr. Meng said that you used to like to wear new clothes and new jewelry. He also went to look at the jewelry shops in this city, but unfortunately he didn't like them. When he returns to the Imperial Capital, he will buy you some good ones."
Wen Wan listened quietly, yawned lazily, and asked casually:
"You, this clever troupe of actors, are you really good at singing?"
The cook said: "We are, but of course Master Meng and his entourage are not. They are here on business and just follow our troupe to hide from others."
Wen Wan was a little surprised, she thought it would take some effort to form words.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, the cook explained.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Girl, Lord Meng said, as long as I know, I can tell you."
Wen Wan paused, then asked directly.
"Then...how many people did they come?"
"Including Mr. Meng, there are seven in total."
"What are they doing here?"
"I don't know."
"Where are they now?"
"I don't know."
With a twist of Wen Wan's lips, she said, why did Meng Jin let down his guard so much? It turned out to be because the cook didn't know anything.
She scratched her hair irritably and simply stopped asking.
"Mom Liu, I want to eat roasted whole lamb, can you cook it?"
Mother Liu looked embarrassed, "I can't."
She just said that she was from the Imperial Capital, and roasting whole lamb was a specialty of the border town, so it was natural that she wouldn't do it.
Wen Wan guessed it right, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"But I really want to eat. Mother Liu, can you ask someone to buy it for me? Did Master Meng say you can't buy food for me?"
Mother Liu: "I never said that. That's okay, I'll send someone to buy it."
"Okay, thank you, Mother Liu."
Wen Wan smiled warmly and added calmly, "By the way, remember to tell the cook that the sheepskin should be eighty percent charred, the meat sixty percent tender, and a pack of their special chili noodles."
*
As soon as it gets dark, the roasted whole lamb is put on the table.
The cook took a knife, cut off the mutton, wrapped it in chili powder, and then put it on the plate in front of Wen Wan.
The roasted lamb with charred skin and tender meat will make your mouth water with every bite.
Wen Wan was eating the roast mutton happily and was just half full when Meng Jin and his group walked in in a hurry.
"Xiao Wan." There was a hint of chill in Meng Jin's voice, and she asked straight to the point: "Have you met Mr. Chen?"
It turns out that they were also chasing envoy Chen Yuan?
Wen Wan: "I've seen him before. He was the doctor who looked at my eyes. I didn't know he was Dean Chen at first, but I found out later."
She didn't hide it from him, which made Meng Jin relieved.
He sat down on the chair opposite Wen Wan with a serious expression, "Xiao Wan, listen to me, from now on, when anyone asks you, you have to say that you have never met Yuanshi Chen."
