Chu Nanfeng was not a person who was used to talking about his personal affairs, but the night was long and he had no intention of sleeping. She was also worried that Lin Qingge would leave suddenly, and if she wanted to leave, Su Yunting would definitely interfere.
He closed the door with his backhand, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, considered the words for a long time, and finally just said lightly: "She wants to separate."
Su Yunting sprayed out all the wine he had just poured into his mouth. He ignored the wine spilled on his body and glared at Chu Nanfeng: "You let her go?"
The initial acquaintance between the two of them was entirely due to business and admiration for each other, but after several years of getting to know each other, they understood each other's temperaments very well.
Even though they often fight tit for tat and fight fiercely, they are absolutely good brothers in essence.
Even if he did consider marrying his little cousin, Luo Hua was just being ruthless and he was just talking.
Now that Lin Qingge was really going to leave alone in the middle of the night, he really didn't know whether to attack Chu Nanfeng as his cousin, or to take advantage of him as a love rival.
Chu Nanfeng sat behind the desk: "No."
Su Yunting sat down again and took a sip of wine: "In a bad mood?"
He didn't speak and sat there quietly, his gloomy expression visible to the naked eye.
"She has a tough personality, and you always think about your family, country, and the world. I have always been worried that you forced her to stay by your side just for your own obsession, and in the end we were separated by the world. Now I finally understand, and I am so worried about her. , you fell in love with her."
Chu Nanfeng moved his fingers inaudibly, raised his eyes to look at Su Yunting, and after a long time said lightly: "Really?"
…
Lin Qingge didn't sleep well all night. Basically, she opened her eyes as soon as the sky turned white.
When I woke up, I felt indescribably tired and had no feeling of rest at all.
It was still dark in the room, everything was dim, and it even felt like it would never get bright again.
She lay on the bed for who knows how long, and waited until the sky got a little brighter before she got up and dressed.
Her movements were heard outside as usual, and Luo Hong and Luo Qing came in to help her wash up.
After everything was sorted, Luo Hong said softly: "Young Madam, the general is still injured, wouldn't it be better to keep him guarding the yard?"
"What?" Lin Qingge raised his head in surprise.
Luo Hong was startled for a moment, seemingly at a loss.
It was Luo Qing who said: "When my subordinates went out to fetch water, they saw the general standing in the yard. It looks like he has been standing outside for a long time, and he is still injured."
Lin Qingge couldn't listen anymore. What flashed through her mind was the blood stains on his inner clothes. Did this man have to force her?
She stood up and rushed out of the room, and immediately saw the man in the yard.
He stood under the tree, his black robe making him taller and taller, but among the falling leaves, he looked extremely bleak, completely alone, and infinitely sad.
What time is it now?
How long has he been standing here?
Could it be possible that he stood like this all night?
Lin Qingge's already chaotic mood suddenly turned into a mess again.
The movement of her running was too loud, and Chu Nanfeng had already walked towards her when she heard the sound.
He walked up the corridor and walked up to her step by step: "It's still early, why don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
"I slept on the soft couch last night."
"Whatever you want to eat, arrange it in the kitchen."
She looked at his calm face and couldn't help but said, "Are you not sleeping?"
"Sleep," his tone did not fluctuate, but his eyes were always on her, "I slept in the study last night. Didn't I tell you last night?"
The reason was as perfunctory as the reason why she had slept on the soft couch, leaving her unable to continue asking.
In addition, his eyes were too deep, which made her feel as if all his thoughts were seen through. She nodded and avoided his sight, turned around and walked back: "I asked Luo Hong and the others to tell the kitchen to arrange breakfast."
Chu Nanfeng looked at her back, feeling as if his heart was being hammered hard. Unable to control himself, Chu Nanfeng stepped forward and hugged her from behind, clasping her into his arms so hard that he almost pressed her into bones and blood.
The excessive force made her feel pain, but she didn't say anything, just because she was frightened by this sudden behavior.
"Qing Ge, have you made up your mind to leave?" A low voice sounded in her ears, with a tight breath.
She could clearly feel his breath on her neck, and she could feel the tightness of his body.
Lin Qingge pursed her lips and turned her head to look at him, then smiled: "Chu Nanfeng, do you want to hear the truth? I don't want to divorce you. When I think of leaving, countless people in the capital will turn over their female relatives to you. Soon there will be someone new around you, and I won’t be happy.”
She lowered her head, with confusion in her voice: "But are feelings nobler than human life? If I knew that the wet nurse would pass away because I refused to agree to divorce, I would probably have left long ago. Now that she is gone, it seems that it has no impact on us. . But I feel really uncomfortable staying with you."
Lin Qingge raised her hand and grabbed his arm, and slowly pushed him away: "I know you are not wrong, everything is a conspiracy of villains. But reason and emotion are inherently in conflict, and I always feel that they are blaming me, and I ...I can’t be righteous and don’t care what they think.”
It was the original owner who gave her a chance to be reborn, and everything she has now can be considered 'stolen'.
As a result, she failed to save the person the original owner cared about, and continued to be with Chu Nanfeng at the risk of Nanny Liu's life, which she couldn't do.
How could Chu Nanfeng not understand?
He doesn't want her to leave, but she admits that she doesn't want to leave, so that means there's a chance, right?
Even though she lowered her head, she could still feel his presence in his eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Actually, it's just that we're not in the same courtyard. It's like the situation in most houses. Maybe we will feel that this way of getting along is more comfortable." Comfortable."
Chu Nanfeng has always been a person who knows the key points: "Then can I come over at any time like the male owner of other courtyards?"
Lin Qingge was startled for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at him: "It's not convenient at any time, but you can come if you want. This is your home."
After the words fell, the surroundings fell into silence again.
With such an ambiguous attitude, what is the answer?
He looked at her delicate face: "How long do you need?"
"What?"
"How long before I can move back."
"..."
They are husband and wife in name, and have slept together since their wedding, but in fact they have no real relationship. Lin Qingge somewhat didn't understand why he was so obsessed with sleeping in the same bed at night.
Could it be that he was still afraid of her sneaking out in the middle of the night?
She looked into his dark eyes and said something very official: "Time will give us the answer."
