Half an hour later, an inconspicuous gray hover car quietly drove into the Duke Carlos Mansion without anyone noticing.

The silver-haired man bent down and got out of the car, raising his head to reveal a handsome yet slightly feminine face.

Butler Anderson had already received the news and was waiting here. Although the silver-haired man in front of him was only from a commoner and looked polite, Anderson knew that he was not simple and would not despise him like ordinary people.

Anderson said respectfully: "Hello, His 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 nodded: "It's work."

Anderson nodded and turned to lead the way from the front.

They walked through the long corridor with beautiful statues on both sides and came to a heavy solid wood door. Anderson opened the door, bowed and said, "Please come in."

Wen Yan stepped in, and the door slowly closed behind him.

Carlos' study is very spacious, with a thick carpet on the floor, and a wall-to-top bookcase facing the door, where books of various editions are scattered. After arriving in the interstellar era, human beings have long abandoned the ancient way of reading paper, and gradually paper books have become a luxury.

This whole wall of bookcases and books makes the whole house look retro and luxurious.

Carlos' short brown hair was meticulously combed back to his head, revealing a refined and deep face, sitting on the sofa with his hands clasped, looking up at the door.

Wen Yan also looked at Carlos, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the last life, this person betrayed Ji Ling again and again, and finally killed him with his own hands.

In this life, what kind of thoughts do you have to make such a move? As outsiders say, is it for the alliance with Grand Duke Ji Ting?

Wen Yan's thoughts turned back and forth, but he couldn't see the slightest on his face. I have discovered Carlos' abnormality, but Carlos does not know his own, because up to this moment - he has not done any extraordinary behavior different from the previous life.

The enemy is in the clear and we are in the dark, which is his biggest advantage against Carlos.

Wen Yan showed a slightly displeased look, frowned and said, "I came back from working in another star field yesterday, and accidentally heard a lot of interesting news, 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: "That said, but you help me because I hope I can help you deal with Your Majesty as a civilian speaker. Before that, we should all be more low-key, right? You will only arouse His Majesty's vigilance. , which in turn affects our plans.”

Carloston paused, and the corner of his lips slowly raised a sneering arc: "You are very dedicated... Standing on my side is to be right against your compatriots, you understand, right?"

Wen Yan smiled: "In my eyes, apart from myself, there is no one worthy of my giving up any interests. What's more, a group of people who are not related to me, the sensational word 'compatriots', I don't think it applies."

Carlos laughed.

It is exactly the same as the previous life. It is a cold-blooded animal with selfishness carved into its bones. In order to achieve its own goals, it does not hesitate to frame Ji Ling and the entire Ji family. It is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Carlos once appreciated such Wen Yan very much. He and himself are the same kind of people. As long as they have a common purpose or sufficient interests, they can become a good partner.

But seeing each other again at this moment, Carlos only had cold disgust in his heart.

In the last life, he never understood the goodness of the young man. He allowed this sinister and cunning white-eyed wolf to lurk around 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 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 the speaker, you want to be high, you want money and power... It doesn't matter, as long as you can use it for me, I can give it to you. But there is only one person I can't give you.

That is - Ji Ling.

Coveting Ji Ling is the biggest mistake you make.

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 say it straight, I will help you, and you will give me what I deserve. As for Other people and other things, it's better not to be wishful thinking."

Wen Yan's face changed slightly, and he met Carlos' cold eyes.

At this moment, he faintly felt the killing intent of the other party!

Carlos, is it really reborn...

This is obviously to imply that he should not be delusional about Ji Ling, but his thoughts have always been hidden deep, and now Carlos... should not know at all!

But if Carlos was reborn, he never cared about Ji Ling in the last life, why did his attitude change drastically in this life?

Wen Yan suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, frowned and tentatively said: "I don't know why you have such thoughts, the Ji family is just a stepping stone for me to climb up, no one is worth anything except the position of the speaker. I care. But you suddenly changed your plan to do this, don't you need to give me an explanation?"

Carlos sneered, do you want to hide it now? But it doesn't matter if you don't want to show it. This time, whether it's Ji Ling himself or Ji's family, I won't allow anyone to hurt.

And you are not qualified to be my opponent.

Carlos stared at Wen Yan, and the innate loftiness 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 my things are not allowed to be coveted by anyone.

enough. "

Wen Yan's pupils shrank, and the gloomy look in his eyes flashed away.

After a long while, he shrugged and let out a casual laugh: "Well, since the Ji family is what you want, I naturally won't do anything superfluous."

Carlos said indifferently, "It's best if you can think of it this way."

Wen Yan's surface was calm, but his heart was turbulent, because Carlos's words made him have a very absurd idea, that is - Carlos may not do this to calculate anything, but to protect Ji Ling!

But how is this possible? !

What made him make such a change?

But……

Even if he can realize the good side of Ji Ling, then Carlos also realized after his rebirth, this possibility is also possible...

It's just that the information in front of him is really limited, and it is difficult for Wen Yan to make any decisions.

Wen Yan has already received a lot of news on this trip today, and Wen Yan didn't want to startle the snake for the time being, so he paused and ended the thoughtful conversation with a smile: "I came here today for this matter... I hope this little Unexpectedly, it will not affect our cooperation."

………………

Ji Ling stayed at home with nothing to do, counting the days when Ning Yu returned.

Speaking of which, 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 his presence temporarily, Wen Yan has been spinning around in front of him since he came back.

Quite the feeling that you have finished singing me on stage.

Tired.

"Master, are you thirsty?" Wen Yan's gentle hoarse voice sounded beside Ji Ling's ears.

Ji Ling's body froze slightly while sitting on the rattan chair, and turned to look at the silver-haired man who was standing beside him.

Ji Ling complained in her heart. I just wanted to take a nap in the sun in the yard. Although my hobby is to step into the ranks of the elderly a little too early, do you need to be so dedicated to serving on the side?

Your election is about to begin, so get busy with your political struggles!

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.

Ji Ling saw his gesture, and it seemed that he planned to stay by his side until the end of the world. Is that okay? ! It's already very hard for me to act in a pretentious manner. Even if it is an exam, I have to have a rest time, right? You stay here like an invigilator, I can't be lazy...

No, there must be a way!

Ji Ling's heart moved, Wen Yan has always been unprofitable, he must have a purpose to stay by his side, but what can he give him? It is nothing more than to help him drive away some flies, and then contribute money and work!

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he was still too careless, and he didn't even understand such a simple truth.

Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, stood up and looked up and said, "I heard that you recently participated in the general election?"

Wen Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

Ji Ling let out a contemptuous sneer, raised his eyes slightly, and squinted at him, "How dare you even think about that seat?"

Wen Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he was not at all displeased, and said softly, "It's just a try."

Ji Ling didn't seem to be optimistic about him at all, but after a while, he turned on his communicator and transferred a large sum of money to Wen Yan. He raised his head with an arrogant expression, and said with disgust, "Take this money and use it well, and take care of it, no matter whether it succeeds in the end... Anyway, it's also from my Ji family, so don't look shabby all day. Go out and lose my people."

Wen Yan looked at him deeply, and for a while, lowered his eyes respectfully: "Yes."

After Ji Ling finished speaking, Wen Yan still looked indifferent and flattered. He thought to himself that he was really calm. He was indeed the most forbearing and sinister villain in the text.

Tsk tsk tsk, Ji Ling waved his hand and said, "You go."

Wen Yan did not move, but asked, "Don't you need me to serve?"

Ji Ling said angrily, "Do I look like someone who needs someone to serve?!"

Wen Yan looked at the young man who seemed to be finally annoyed in front of him, noticed the flickering discomfort in his eyes, couldn't help softening in his heart, and pressed the corners of his upturned lips.

Speaking of which, although Ji Ling looks arrogant outside, he is not a person who likes to be served by others at home. He seems to prefer being alone rather than being surrounded by people.

He is the one who is arrogant and domineering, and he is the one who is alone and quiet.

But the two contradictory sides seem to fit so well in him, intertwined into a unique charm, which makes people addicted to nostalgia.

He gave himself money clearly because he wanted to help himself, and he didn't want to see himself losing too ugly outside... But he wanted to say this to hurt people, as if he was afraid that his true heart would be known, probably as a nobleman, he subconsciously thought It's not normal to want to help a lowly commoner yourself, right?

But in the end, kindness prevailed.

The expression in Wen Yan's eyes was extremely gentle, the deep pitch black seemed to be turned into a pool of thick ink, and a silent vortex swept over everything.

Ji Ling fell into his line of sight, and once again felt the terrifying gaze that Wenyan had looked at him the day before, he quickly looked away, and sat down on the chair angrily! The money is also taken, what do you want!

If you don't go, don't go, go with you!

Ji Ling doesn't watch Wen Yan anymore, and has nothing to do with the news. Ning Yu should be back today, right? He swiped for a long time, and finally saw a brand new news that instantly made the headlines of the major star networks.

The most popular civilian heroes recently, the national idol Ning Yu and Marshal Brandon who are known as rising stars are finally back!

Because this time the battle against the Zerg in the Nado 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 an idea.

According to his understanding of the plot of the 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 text, it seems to imply that Wen Yan has a slightly different meaning to Ning Yu.

In this heartthrob interstellar article, no one, whether the hero or the villain, can resist the aura of Ning Yu's 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 is the star of tomorrow? It's just a lowly commoner. Even if you come to Emperor Star, what if you get the reception of His Majesty? Is it possible that you really think you can reach the sky in one step? In the end, it's not the same as you. , to be our lackey. To be human 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 proud look, and it was right to sacrifice Ning Yu! He glanced at Wen Yan disdainfully, and continued to concave the shape as if he were dying.

Wen Yan's hand slowly tightened and looked at Ji Ling.

After his rebirth, he kept telling himself that as long as he could stay by this person's side and watch him happy, he would be satisfied, and he didn't dare to really expect too much. But at this moment, listening to Ji Ling's words, watching him care so much about Jing Sui's words, and remembering all the things he did because of Ning Yu in the last life...

I just realized how jealous I am.

With these beautiful eyes, Jing Sui was the only one chasing after him from beginning to end, and he never... seriously looked back at himself.

Either in the previous life or in this life.

It's all like that.

In the depths of Wen Yan's eyes, the color of jealousy and pain gradually emerged, dark as night, and he said word by word, "Really?"
