"Brother Ling, you...can you hug me once?..."
"Look at me, how long has it been and I'm still dreaming..." Looking at Ling Yun's somewhat embarrassed look, Ding Mengxuan let out a light sigh and showed a self-deprecating wry smile, "It was originally impossible between us..."
As she spoke, she let out a sob and turned around to leave.
Ling Yun felt a twinge of pain in his heart and shouted from behind: "Mengxuan."
"Brother Ling, do you have anything else?" Ding Mengxuan's breathing suddenly became rapid and he stopped subconsciously.
Ling Yun pondered for a moment and whispered: "Tonight, I will leave here."
"Didn't you just... tell me about this?" A look of disappointment flashed across her face.
"Yes, I just told Madam," Ling Yun said: "In addition, I would like to add: Because the current situation is complicated and their spies are everywhere, I can only find a suitable time to leave at night; and I can't come to say goodbye to Madam in person when I leave. I hope you'll forgive me for being rude; at the same time, Ling Yun also wants to thank Madam for saving her life."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Ding Mengxuan.
"Okay, I understand." Ding Mengxuan frowned slightly, with a hint of unwillingness and annoyance in his tone.
There was a sour feeling on the tip of her nose, and she looked at him with slightly red eyes, and said with a hint of resentment: "Brother Ling, why are you always so polite and distant to me? Is this the only way we can stay separated forever?"
Ling Yun looked blank for a moment and said nothing. At that moment, it seemed like something was shattering in my heart, silently.
The corners of Ding Mengxuan's lips drooped, his eyes became dull, and the whole world seemed to have lost its color.
She sighed, covered her face with her hands, and ran out staggeringly.
Silently looking at her sad figure as she walked away, Ling Yun felt a mixture of emotions in his heart and could no longer describe what he was feeling.
It was already dark, and the entire courtyard of Meng Yunxuan was shrouded in the gray-black night sky, and everything around it was completely silent.
The sky is too dark to be dark, and my heart is too broken to be broken. Who cares about my tears? A world of flowers, a thousand dreams...
Ding Mengxuan sat alone in front of the sandalwood table under the screen window in the flower hall, pouring and drinking to himself without a thought, while muttering absently to himself:
"Tonight we stand alone on the railing and look at each other. At the snap of a finger, flowers fall and water flows, things change and people change..."
As a well-educated and well-educated lady, she rarely drinks alcohol; at most, she occasionally drinks a few drinks at grand family banquets, but she has never used wine to get drunk or indulge herself like she does now.
Saitama couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and pressed down her wine glass and said, "Madam, stop drinking. I know you are depressed, but you can't debase yourself like this!"
Ding Mengxuan pushed her away gently, held up the cup and continued to drink, "Qiyu, tell me, have I made myself the biggest joke in my life?..."
Saitama's nose felt sore and his eyes immediately turned red, "Madam..."
Ding Mengxuan seemed to be talking to Qiyu, or to himself: "When I was one year old, my parents arranged for me to be engaged to the eldest son of the Marquis House. Alas, if it hadn't been for those strange coincidences, Wrong, it would be great if I could really be with him...
"But God, why are you teasing me like this? You want me to have no connection with him and just pass by..." As she said this, her eyes were already misty with tears.
Saitama couldn't help but choked up, "Madam, now that things have happened, what's the use of talking about this anymore? This may be your life!"
Ding Mengxuan said dullly: "But why is my life so miserable?"
Saitama just sobbed and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
At this time, the girl outside came in and reported: "Madam, Mr. Li is here."
A look of panic flashed in Qiyu's eyes, "Madam, what should I do?"
Ding Mengxuan twitched the corners of his lips, swept away everything, and said with a cold expression: "Just do whatever you have to do, there is nothing to panic about."
As he spoke, he turned around and said to the girl: "Go and invite him over!"
The girl lowered her eyebrows and responded with a smile, turned around and went out.
After a while, Li Ruiyun walked in with a cheerful face and said with a smile: "Mengxuan."
Ding Mengxuan stood up and waved a thousand blessings at Li Ruiyun.
Li Ruiyun supported her and said with a smile: "What's the point of being polite to an old couple? Hey, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be happy? Who bullied you?"
Ding Mengxuan tilted his head slightly, glanced at him coldly, his tone was full of narrow-mindedness, "Such a big Meng Yunxuan, besides your majestic leader Li, who else dares to bully me after eating Xiongxinbao? !”
"Me?..." Li Ruiyun was confused for a moment, "I haven't been here for more than ten days, how can I bully you?"
Ding Mengxuan rolled his eyes at him and said in a deliberately long tone: "You also know that I haven't been here for more than ten days. I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago! To be honest, was it because I was attracted by some fox? Has your lover been seduced?"
"You, your mouth is still so unforgiving!..." Li Ruiyun was slightly startled, and then a doting smile overflowed from his phoenix eyes. He tapped Ding Mengxuan's nose affectionately and said with an angry smile: "You are such a jealous little woman!..."
Ding Mengxuan snorted and turned away, ignoring him.
Li Ruiyun saw that her brows were clean and as beautiful as the cold moonlight. Unconsciously, Li Ruiyun felt excited. He hugged her warm and fragrant jade-like body from behind, and gently rested his chin on her hair. His thin lips were slightly parted. A lingering smile.
"Okay, don't be angry. Can't I apologize to you? But there are really too many things going on these days, so I haven't been able to get away and come over to see you."
Ding Mengxuan's heart moved, and he said deliberately: "Tell me what happened! Otherwise, how would I know if you really have something important to get away from, or if you secretly went to meet your lover behind my back?"
Li Ruiyun frowned slightly, seeming hesitant, "This... involves a lot of court affairs and gang matters. It's too complicated, so I'd better not talk about it."
Ding Mengxuan raised her eyebrows, and was about to get angry, but was suddenly stopped; she couldn't help but think of what Ling Yun had told her in the secret room at noon today:
"No matter what Li Ruiyun does, you should stay out of it; you must not get involved in his affairs! The most important thing is to stay out of it, ignore it, and take good care of yourself..."
"Mengxuan, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?" Li Ruiyun couldn't help but feel strange when he saw Ding Mengxuan lost his mind for a moment.
"Oh, it's nothing..." Ding Mengxuan came back to his senses and shook his head gently.
She pulled Li Ruiyun to sit down in front of the desk, and said in a lazy voice: "I'm very depressed now, why don't you have a drink with me?"
Li Ruiyun's phoenix eyes squinted frivolously, and the corners of his mouth curved in a very shallow arc, "Why are you so depressed? Why are you still acting like a child to compete with me?"
Ding Mengxuan pouted and said, "If you don't want to accompany me, forget it. I'll do it myself."
Li Ruiyun said: "When did I say I won't accompany you? - Come on, hurry up and prepare some food and drinks. Let's get drunk tonight."
Ding Mengxuan smiled and ordered the girl to bring food and wine. He personally took two cups, filled them with wine, and drank them all in one gulp with Li Ruiyun.
The two of them sat opposite each other in the room and had a drink, chatting wordlessly, gradually becoming a little drunk.
Li Ruiyun raised his confused eyes, glanced at Ding Mengxuan sideways and said, "By the way, Mengxuan, I seemed to have heard them say a few days ago that when you came back from visiting Xiangguo Temple, you took in someone?"
"Ah, yes...yes!..." Ding Mengxuan's heart throbbed unconsciously, and she responded vaguely.
She knew that Li Ruiyun had always been setting eyes inside and outside her courtyard, and that every move she made and that of everyone in Mengyunxuan could not be hidden from his eyes.
Li Ruiyun put down the wine glass, casually played with the crystal clear, ethereal jade-colored ring in his hand, and said slowly: "What kind of person is that? How is he doing now?"
"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Are you talking about the scholar in trouble?" Ding Mengxuan's eyes turned, and his tone was soothing and calm.
"He came to the capital to find his relatives, but he didn't meet him. On the way, he encountered robbers and robbed him. He was frightened and frightened, and passed out on the roadside. I happened to be passing by at that time, how could I not save him? And it was just a little effort, so I conveniently took him Rescued."
Li Ruiyun looked at her with deep eyes, "What's his name and where is he from?"
Ding Mengxuan couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but she was very kind and intelligent, so she quickly returned to normal and calmly replied: "His last name seems to be...Zhao, and he comes from Chang'an..."
"Where is he now? Bring him here so that I can get to know him." Li Ruiyun almost pressed forward step by step.
Ding Mengxuan suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes turned cold for a moment, "Li Ruiyun, what do you mean, don't you believe me? Are you interrogating me?"
Li Ruiyun saw that she was slightly angry, her eyes were moving, and she had a charming charm. She unconsciously curved her lips and said with a smile: "How could it be? I was just asking casually! As the saying goes, caution makes everything worse. New Year Boat - Nowadays, the forms are complicated and thieves are rampant. It is always good to be careful in everything, especially people with unknown origins like this."
"Then just don't worry, I've sent him away a long time ago." Ding Mengxuan gently raised his eyelids and said in a cool tone.
"Sent away?..." Li Ruiyun's deep eyes flickered several times in succession.
"Should I keep someone with such an unknown origin to cause trouble? When he wakes up and regains his mental and physical strength, I will give him some money and send him away."
Ding Mengxuan's expression didn't change at all; she raised her bare hand gently, picked up a cup of light tea on the table, skimmed off the foam, and took a sip, as if she didn't care.
"That's good." Li Ruiyun said "Oh" and said nothing more.
He raised his eyes and looked out the window at the dim moonlight. It was already at the zenith of the moon.
"It's getting late, it's time for us to have a rest." As he said that, Li Ruiyun walked up to her and hugged her tenderly from behind.
Ding Mengxuan pushed him away slightly upset and said: "Don't bother me, I want to sit for a while."
Li Ruiyun's eyebrows flashed with a heart-warming smile, and she said softly: "Why, are you still angry with me? In order to express my apology, I will make it up to you tonight..."
"Compensation? What kind of compensation?"
Li Ruiyun put his mouth next to her ear charmingly, lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "What do you think?..."
As I said this, I picked her up without waiting for her to react and walked towards the bedroom.
