lover!
When Yin Ruming said these words nonchalantly, not only Li Chenan was shocked, but Xiao Baozi and Wen Xiaowan were also shocked.
Firstly, they were extremely surprised by Yin Ruming's identity, and secondly, this word touched them somewhat.
Li Chenan remembered his previous life at this moment.
In my previous life, I didn’t have a wife, but I had a lover.
Lots of lovers.
Wife and lover are completely different.
There is only one wife.
The wife is the root.
Lover... is just a flower to admire, a vase to play with.
A wife is a haven from the wind.
The harbor will not move or change, it will always be there.
It will always have a light on, waiting for the man who hasn't come home yet.
A lover is a place of spiritual comfort, but often after that comfort, people become even more emptier and more confused... Some people are stuck in it and cannot extricate themselves, while others feel guilty and turn around to look for the light that guides them home.
He lowered his head silently, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the four inches in the bowl and put it into his mouth.
He chewed it carefully and it tasted good.
To live a new life in this life, what he needs is the quiet harbor, and he does not need to look for that spiritual comfort.
This was not what Wen Xiaowan was thinking at the moment.
After she heard this sentence, her eyes gradually lit up——
Lover, that is also love!
It is a more selfless love!
She can ask for nothing.
Status, reputation, family, wealth, all these things, at least for now, she feels that these are not important.
She could stay alone in the empty room, just waiting for Li Chenan's arrival one day.
Then silently watched him leave.
Keep waiting.
Over and over again, the flowers bloom and fall, until one day the person is old and his face is no longer yellow.
He is the regent of Ningguo.
He already has Zhongli Ruoshui and this girl Xiao.
It would be great if I could become his lover.
The world is huge, and there are many women who are lovers.
Some do it for money, some do it to show off, and some work hard just to survive one day.
she is not.
She just simply felt that it would be great to be his woman.
"I was quite pretty when I was young."
"There is no cat in the world who doesn't steal fish!"
"A man...even a man like Qin Lin, even if he marries the beautiful Lu Fengling...he will still look for food outside."
"I...I don't know whether I should say I'm lucky or unlucky. Everyone in the Qin family is suave, and they also have the dazzling aura of Qinjian Villa."
"That night, his face was full of tears."
"That night, I raised my glass and got myself drunk...I didn't resist."
"Just like that, I have never married anyone in my life, and I have never liked a second man."
Yin Ruming suddenly laughed at himself and raised his glass: "Stop talking about that, you have to watch your men closely. If you are not careful... he might build countless nests outside!"
Xiao Baozi suddenly asked at this moment: "Then...do you have children?"
Yin Ruming's hand holding the wine glass stopped in the air.
Her eyes became hollow for three breaths at that moment.
But she quickly smiled forcefully and shook her head: "No!"
Really not?
I'm afraid no one knows except herself.
Li Chenan sighed slightly:
"Sentiment has hurt parting since ancient times, and it is even more embarrassing to neglect the Qingqiu Festival."
"Every encounter is destined."
"Come on, drink!"
Xiao Baozi turned his head and looked at the cow beside him.
Yin Ruming drank another glass of wine and asked again: "There must be many masters in Zhouyuan, what can you rely on?"
Li Chenan smiled slightly: "Grand Master Yan Jidao must have arrived in Zhouzhuang."
Yin Ruming was startled, and the look on his face became a little weird.
…
…
The night is dark.
The wind is picking up.
The snow is heavy.
On this snowy night, Yan Jidao arrived in Zhouzhuang.
He did not go to any inn.
He didn't go to Zhou Garden either.
He went to Zhoushan, which is eighteen miles away from Zhouzhuang.
Zhoushan, which stretches for hundreds of miles, ends here.
Zhoushan is very high.
There is no one around.
But there are two lights in a very secret valley in Zhoushan Mountain.
He stood on a treetop not far from the light, with his hands behind his back, frowning at the light there.
There should have been no one living there.
No one should have known about it there.
There, he was very familiar with it before, and now...it's still very familiar to him.
The light there had not been on for fifteen years, but it turned on today!
Besides her, who else would light those two lamps?
Could it be that he was a hunter who happened to find the wooden house when he entered the mountains?
Not Orion.
Orion will light the lamp in the house, not the lamp outside!
It was a small wooden building that was not wide.
A lamp was hung on the eaves outside the small building.
A light came on in the room.
Yan Jidao landed in front of the small building.
He looked at the door that was ajar, but he didn't reach out to push it open.
He looked up at the lintel of the door.
There is a string of wind chimes hanging there.
The wind chime seems very old, but when the wind blows, it still sways and makes a clear and tinkling sound.
It's like conjuring spirits.
It's like welcoming someone home.
This is not his home.
His home is in Kyoto.
Although that home was brightly lit every night, in his heart, that home was dark.
It's cold.
It made him extremely repelled in his heart.
It's different here.
It's small here
Although simple.
But it happened to be the home he favored.
Likewise a woman.
But the difference between women is just that big.
He only recognizes this family because he only has that woman in his heart!
Listening to the sound of the wind chimes and looking at the familiar appearance of the string of wind chimes, Yan Jidao had a faint look of pain between his brows.
He didn't want to remember the past anymore.
But the memory of the past is so unforgettable, as if it was just yesterday, right before my eyes.
She hung the string of wind chimes.
She said that when the wind chimes ring, she will think that he is back.
That was her expectation.
It's her watch.
It's the nest he and she built together!
He would not allow anyone to invade his and her nest.
Even if this is an empty nest that has been vacant for fifteen years.
Yan Jidao had murderous intent.
But just at this moment, there was the sound of water flowing inside.
This voice was familiar to him.
There is a hot spring in the house.
Fifteen years ago, her favorite thing to do was to soak in that hot spring on this snowy night.
Use a ladle to scoop up the warm water and pour it on him.
The same sound of watering.
Damn it!
He actually polluted that hot spring!
Just as he was about to push the door open, a voice came from inside the room.
It was a woman's voice:
"You're still here."
"It's a pity that your lover has turned into a pile of bones."
"Now that you're here, come in."
"Let me rub your back like her."
"But I'm definitely not as good as that vixen, but I still want to try."
Yan Jidao's hand that fell on the door suddenly froze.
This voice was very familiar to him, and he also hated it.
She is his wife Liyang Princess Ning Muxue!
She has a beautiful name.
Also has a very beautiful face.
And a proud body.
But he happened to have such a snake-like heart.
Why is she here?
How did she know this place?
Yan Jidao took a deep breath. There was a gust of wind, and the lantern swayed in the wind.
The wind chime sounded again.
He was silent for a moment, opened the door, and walked in.
