"Aren't you also interested in the possible power of the Qiao family in the future? In the past four years, you have disliked me but never rejected me, and enjoyed my pursuit but never nodded. What qualifications do you have to criticize others?"
"The person who should stay away from me the most is you, Lu Jinzhi!"
Qiao Yin finished her words and immediately ordered the driver to drive away without looking at Lu Jinzhi's expression.
Lu Jinzhi froze on the spot, watching Qiao Yin's carriage whizzing past him, feeling as if a huge stone was stuck in his throat.
It turns out she knew everything.
It turned out that she had already seen him clearly.
Lu Jinzhi stood there for who knows how long, when suddenly Yan Ruyu's voice came from behind him:
"Everyone has moved away, how long are you going to stand there stupidly?"
Yan Ruyu witnessed the whole process on the carriage, and she only thought it was ridiculous.
It was ridiculous that according to the manual given by Qiao Yin, I gave Lu Jinzhi soothing tea and took him to the night market to strengthen their relationship. I didn't expect to see Lu Jinzhi looking completely lost for Qiao Yin.
Of course, Lu Jinzhi is more ridiculous than himself.
Qiao Yin had greeted him for four years, but he had abandoned her like worn out shoes and never looked up to him. Qiao Yin left him, but he regarded her as a treasure.
"Qiao Yin doesn't like you anymore, just give up."
Yan Ruyu tried to wake up Lu Jinzhi, but she didn't want to attract Lu Jinzhi's angry gaze. He looked at her viciously, as if he wanted to eat her.
"She has known me for four years, and has only known Xie Yu'an for ten days. She and I came to this night market and this cruise first. Why do you say she doesn't like me?"
Why?
Ping Qiao Yin gave her the manual without hesitation.
Yan Ruyu sneered in her heart. She said that Qiao Yin no longer liked him and had given him some face.
According to her speculation, Qiao Yin never liked Lu Jinzhi at all!
Otherwise, why would you leave just like you said? How could I revisit the old place with a new love?
"Shizi Lu, I kindly remind you that you and I shoulder the important responsibilities of the two clans. If you still insist on being stubborn, then I can only suggest that my father choose another marriage partner."
Yan Ruyu was interested in the status and help of the Duke's Mansion. If we say that Lu Jinzhi was headstrong, hard to control and unable to rely on, he was not a good choice at all.
After Lu Jinzhi heard Yan Ruyu's words, instead of feeling regretful, Lu Jinzhi had a hint of enlightenment on his face, as if he was suddenly enlightened after being stuck for a long time.
Isn't it because of his marriage to Yan Ruyu that Qiao Yin fell out with him? If he doesn't marry anyone else but marries Qiao Yin, she will definitely not be angry and she will definitely come back to him again.
Yan Ruyu looked at his expression, sneered, put down the car curtain and ordered the driver to drive.
…
"Ahem——"
Jiang Huailu finished handling all the official documents, drank the medicine, and ordered his people to turn off the lights, undress, and lie down. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the bed curtains suddenly moved, and a dark figure stood at the head of his bed with a cold air.
Jiang Huailu opened his eyes suddenly and reached for the dagger under the pillow, "Who is it?"
"Me." A deep voice sounded.
"Ayu?" Jiang Huairu breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his hand from under the pillow, "What are you doing? You scared me to death!"
"Get up and drink." Xie Yuan said coldly.
"Ah?... Xie Ren, you bastard, you've come to lie to me again. Believe it or not, I'll chop you down!"
Jiang Huailu was disturbed from his sweet dream and punched out, but it hit nothing.
The visitor ignored him, turned around, walked to his bookshelf, opened the secret compartment on the second floor, and took out a small wine jar from inside.
"Huh? Huh? Is Ayu really you?"
Jiang Huairu stood up with his clothes on. Xie Yuan had already opened the small wine jar, stood in front of the bookshelf, raised his head and drank.
"This wine is so strong that even a strong man would have to pour it down. Aren't you afraid of dying if you drink like this?"
Jiang Huairu was definitely not worried about the wine he had collected, but just concerned about his body.
Xie Yu'an just drank and ignored Jiang Huailu's words.
Jiang Huailu lit the candle and approached holding the candlestick. When he saw his gloomy and terrifying face, he was suddenly startled.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Ever since he was a child, Jiang Huairu had never seen him lose his temper like this before. He was more curious than worried.
"Didn't you go to the night market with Qiao Yin today? Could it be that Qiao Yin broke the appointment again?"
Jiang Huairu waited for a long time, but when Xie Yu'an didn't say a word, he was so anxious that he grabbed the wine jar from his hand.
"Is your family still short of a jar of wine? If you don't want to say it, then go back to your own house and drink."
"Qiao Yin didn't break the appointment. She arrived early. We had something to eat together and went on a cruise together. She even kissed me and confessed her love to me."
If Xie Yu'an didn't say anything, his words would be astonishing.
Jiang Huailu was jealous when he heard this: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn't this good? You came here to show off to me on purpose, why are you pretending to be bitter and resentful? With your expression of wanting to destroy the world, I thought Qiao Yin broke the appointment again. And you."
"But I refused."
"Ah?!" The candlestick in Jiang Huairu's hand almost fell to the ground.
"You refused? Someone confessed to you, but you refused in public? Didn't Qiao Yin kick you into the river?"
"No, why did you refuse? Don't you really like Qiao Yin?"
Jiang Huailu couldn't figure out why he refused, let alone why he looked so sad since he refused?
Xie Yuan shook his head: "I don't know why I refused, I'm just not sure, does she really like me?"
If she liked him, how could she not even remember the first time they met?
Jiang Huairu saw confusion and entanglement on Xie Yuan's face. He stopped joking and thought seriously: "Do you think she still likes Lu Jinzhi?"
Xie Yuan shook his head again, "She doesn't like Lu Jinzhi, but she doesn't like me either."
Jiang Huailu was not Xie Yuan, so he could not empathize with his inexplicable intuition.
"But I see that she is really trying hard to please you."
"She treated Lu Jinzhi like this before, even better than me."
Xie Yuan clenched the jade cicada in his hand, the hard jade stone making his palms hurt.
She could give Lu Jinzhi four years, but she couldn't even give him enough patience for one day.
So unfair.
So unfair.
For the first time, Jiang Huairu couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard Xie Yuan's tone of voice that sounded like a resentful woman.
Sure enough, a hero can't help but be a beauty, and no matter how sane a person is when they fall in love, they will become unrecognizable.
"You also lied to me that you were trying to win over Qiao Zhendong. You are obviously pretending to be a public servant for personal gain. You have been thinking about this girl for a long time."
Jiang Huailu put down the candlestick and returned the small wine jar to Xie Yuan.
"No matter how much you drink here, it's useless. I, a lonely person, can't give you any advice, but I have to remind you that you have been thinking about this person for a long time, but he has only known you for more than ten days. You two have a good impression of each other. It's not on the same line as trust, you can't use your standards to demand her, you have to give her time to slowly discover your love."
Jiang Huairu patted Xie Yu'an on the shoulder: "It's like planting flowers. Sow the seeds first, water her every day, take her to bask in the sun, and make her happy. Maybe one day, small bean sprouts will bloom. Flower, shake my head at you, smile and smile."
Give her time?
Xie Yu'an seemed to be touched. After an unknown amount of time, he put down the wine jar and turned to leave the East Palace.
Jiang Huairu looked at his leaving figure and sighed.
Xie Yu'an is easy to understand.
But when will his little bean sprouts wake up?
Oh, how sad.
Next year she will be hair-cut.
