It seems like I forgot something.
Eve looked at Phillips with a strange expression. The current him was like a university student, completely different from the image she had of him.
She smiled and didn't answer his question. "How strange. I almost couldn't recognize you."
"Oh?" Phillips took a look at his outfit. It was an ordinary basketball uniform with ordinary sneakers. It was completely different from his usual suit and leather shoes. He smiled and said, "This is the first time you've seen me wear something like this, right? Hehe, I actually quite like to play street ball. "
"It's a miracle that no one recognized you." Eve looked at the basketball players. They were actually able to mingle with this person so unscrupulously.
Phillips could be considered a celebrity in J Country. He was young, handsome, and had a mature and steady personality. He was gentle to everyone … at least to outsiders, he was gentle. If one didn't care about his inner self, he was simply the most standard male lead in a romance novel. He was enough to arouse the imagination of any young girl. Who would have thought that such a person would appear in the desolate streets playing street ball?
"Not everyone pays attention to national affairs. As long as you don't deliberately show it, others won't care about passersby." Phillips held Eve's hand and smiled charmingly, "Let's go. I'll take you to see the night view."
He didn't ask for Eve's opinion. Instead, he used a very strong attitude to pull her into the car.
Eve looked at Phillips in a daze. She felt that there was something wrong with this person. She originally thought that Phillips would take revenge on her for betraying him. But from the moment they met until now, it was as if he didn't remember this matter at all. He had never mentioned it.
Phillips took her to the capital's tallest tower — — Triumph Tower. It was also the place where Qiao Qiao and He Shaochen took their wedding photos. From here, one could see the entire capital. To be honest, it was very beautiful.
This was not the first time she had come to this place. Previously, when she was carrying out missions, the target of the assassination had also brought her here a few times, but they had all left her with unpleasant memories. As for this beautiful night view, she had no time to appreciate it. This was the first time she had specially come here to admire it.
Phillips hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. His voice was bewitching. "Do you like the scenery here?"
Eve came back to her senses from her memories. She was stunned for a moment before she nodded honestly. "I like it."
No one hates beautiful things.
Phillips smiled. "I knew you would like it. I'll bring you here often in the future, okay? Not only Victorious Return Tower, there are many other beautiful places. As long as you like them, I'll take you there. Oh right, do you like traveling? How about we travel around the world in the future? "
There was an indescribable gentleness in his voice, and the entire space was filled with a warm atmosphere.
At this moment, they were just like a couple.
As expected, something was very wrong.
If it weren't for his face and voice, Eve would have thought that the man hugging her was an imposter.
Phillips had always been domineering towards her. He had shown her warmth, but that was very rare. The way he coaxed his girlfriend was completely different from his persona. Not only did Eve not feel the sweetness between lovers, she even felt that Phillips had taken the wrong medicine. Otherwise, how could he say such words?
She frowned. "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
"What's wrong?" Phillips turned her around so that they were face to face.
Eve had an extremely charming face. She was what people often called a natural beauty. Under her gorgeous appearance, there was an empty heart. She had loved a man she couldn't love at all. She gave everything she had and didn't ask for anything in return. However, that person couldn't reciprocate her feelings. She was also targeted by a domineering man, but this person didn't give her the warmth that a normal lover should have. He had always been domineering and possessive.
She didn't know how to love a normal person, and she didn't know how to respond to an almost normal love. This was because the people she cared about, the people who cared about her, none of them were normal.
Eve was very clear about Phillips's identity and background. Hearing this person talk about traveling around the world, Eve only felt that this person had taken the wrong medicine.
"Please don't tease me anymore. You should hate me. I don't care if you want to take revenge. I don't care if you torture me, but please don't play games with my feelings!" Eve said everything in her heart. She pushed Phillips away and looked at him coldly.
Phillips didn't get angry. He just looked at her calmly. Suddenly, he smiled. "As expected, the gentle route won't work for you."
"The love game is over?" Eve sneered.
Things should be like this. A gentle Phillips, a considerate lover, shouldn't be like this at all!
"Since you want to end it, then let's end it." Phillips strolled over to Eve's side and planted a kiss on the corner of her lips. "Those who betray me will eventually die miserably at my hands. When I learned that you helped Freya take away the inducing agent, I indeed wanted to kill you. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be strange even if you died a hundred times over, but how could I bear to do so? I love you so much. "
Eve was unmoved. She clenched her hands into fists. "I already said, stop playing games …"
"It's true. I fell in love with you. I thought I would never fall in love with anyone else in my life, but your appearance changed my point of view. I became more and more concerned about your whereabouts, more and more concerned about where your gaze stops, and more and more concerned about who lives in your heart. When I came back to my senses, I was already hopelessly in love with you."
His eyes were affectionate and persistent. There was no hypocrisy in them.
Eve almost believed him.
She shook her head and sneered as she took a step back. "No, you didn't fall in love with me. It's just that ridiculous possessiveness. Because I don't love you, this is a setback for you. That's why you pay so much attention to me and even treat this as love. But it's a pity that I'm not an innocent girl. I won't believe your sweet words."
"Haha, you're really different." Phillips laughed out loud.
He paused for a few seconds and shrugged. "It's obviously worked with other women. Why doesn't it work with you?"
Looking at Eve's doubtful eyes, Phillips's eyes flashed with a different expression. In the end, he laughed bitterly and said, "Forget it. I'll tell you the truth. I've been quite free recently. I suddenly want to go on a trip. I need a companion, so you'll have to accompany me during this period."
"Go on a trip? Are you kidding me? " Eve sneered. "Now that the J Organisation has suffered such a terrible blow, how can you still be so carefree? Will they allow you to be so willful? "
Phillips was the core of the J Organisation. At this critical moment of life and death, she didn't believe that he would be indifferent.
"It's really tiring to talk to a woman who's too smart."
"…"
"Actually, I've already lost my real power. Thanks to you, I've not only lost my position as the Chairman of the Elders' Council, but I also don't have a place in the J Organisation. Now the J Organisation is completely controlled by another party. If I go back, I'll only be obliterated."
"How is that possible …"
Eve was about to say this when she recalled the recent news that there was indeed a lot of turmoil in the J Organisation. She looked at Phillips's carefree expression and felt that he was indeed very different from before. Could it be that he had really lost his power as he said?
Phillips seemed to have seen through Eve's thoughts. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Although I don't have any real power now, I advise you not to try anything funny. I'm more than enough to deal with you."
"…" Xiaxia looked away. "You're thinking too much."
"That's for the best."
Phillips held Eve's hand and kissed it gently on the lips. His eyes were burning. "Then come with me."
"…"
Eve was silent for a moment before she nodded in the end.
Regardless of whether he had lost his real power or not, Phillips was still a troublesome opponent. If she stayed by his side, she could at least monitor his movements. Let her help that man one last time.
Phillips looked deeply at Eve before he looked away. He sneered in his heart. Even if I'm holding your hand now, your heart is still with that man.
This was the first time he had met such a stubborn and stubborn woman.
However, he had all the time in the world. He believed that one day, he would be able to make Eve's heart belong only to him.
His gaze stopped at a certain direction in the Triumph Tower and he smiled.
During this period of time, he would withdraw from this power struggle.
— —
Holy Glory Palace.
After nearly 14 hours of battle, Qiao Qiao finally came back from the gates of hell.
She slowly opened her eyes. The bright light made it difficult for her to open them. After a while, she finally got used to the light.
"Qiao Qiao, you're awake?"
He Shaochen almost cried tears of joy when he saw Qiao Qiao open her eyes. He held her hand and pressed it against his forehead. His whole body was trembling. "Idiot, don't scare me!"
Adam heard the movement and opened his eyes abruptly. He had not slept for a day and a night. When he saw Qiao Qiao wake up, he rushed over almost instantly. "Lilith, you're finally awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I'm still alive …"
"Idiot, of course you're alive! Not only are you alive, but you'll also live a long life! "He Shaochen said firmly.
Qiao Qiao shifted her gaze to He Shaochen. When she saw his angry face, she revealed a faint smile and muttered, "That's great. You've become the Shaochen I know again …"
He was immature and would bicker with her like a child.
However, the man she loved was also this immature man. The outstanding and perfect He Shaochen was too far away from her.
When He Shaochen heard Qiao Qiao's words, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh. His eyes were a little wet as he said angrily, "You're really a stupid woman. You don't want a considerate and tolerant husband. Do you have to scold you every day to be happy? How can you be so stupid? "
As long as she had a brain, she would choose a considerate and tolerant husband. It was rare for him to be enlightened, but this woman thought that he had changed and even cried.
What an idiot!
When Qiao Qiao heard his scolding, she felt even more affectionate. She felt that they had returned to how they were when they first met.
Both of them were stubborn and neither of them would give in to the other. He Shaochen would always be angered to death, and He Shaochen would also throw a tantrum like a child because of her stubbornness. At that time, she only hoped that He Shaochen could be more mature, but she didn't expect that what she missed the most was the first time.
She held He Shaochen's hand tightly. Tears flowed down her face, but she smiled. "Maybe I'm really an idiot."
He Shaochen smiled helplessly. "What a coincidence. I don't hate idiots."
Adam saw that the two of them seemed to have reconciled. Although he felt that He Shaochen was lucky, he couldn't say anything to break up the two of them. For Qiao Qiao, who had just returned from the gates of hell, this should be the best outcome.
As long as she could be happy, that was enough.
He quietly left the room and looked around, feeling that he had missed something.
