Listening to the sarcastic teasing in Xia Tan'er's words, Dong Lingjiu paused with his pen and raised his head to look at Xia Tan'er with an innocent face.
"That's not true. The king has always carried this marriage book with him. I have been looking forward to spending a long time with you."
Dong Lingjiu's eyes were burning, and the determination in his eyes overflowed like a tide, but the more this happened, the less Xia Tan'er believed Dong Lingjiu's words, because she was also the kind of person who would deliberately make herself do that in order to convince others of her words. A sincere face.
Xia Tan'er glanced at Dong Lingjiu and sat at the table with her hands folded across her chest. After calming down for a while, she was no longer in a hurry.
"I think it's only been a few months since I met Uncle Nine Emperors. It seems a little anxious to finalize the marriage contract in a few months."
Seeing Xia Tan'er looking like she was about to regret it, Dong Lingjiu expected it. He placed the brush dipped in ink on the pen holder and stared at an unknown place with his eyes downcast. His whole body was suddenly filled with endless sadness. shrouded.
"Yes, a few months is not a long time. This amount of time is nothing compared to Tan'er. You fell in love with Dongling Luo at first sight and you married him without even knowing him."
When Dong Lingjiu's mouth should be poisonous, it is really poisonous to death. Xia Tan'er choked on one sentence. For a long time, she couldn't think of a way to reply. What's more important is that before Xia Tan'er could speak, Dong Lingjiu... Lingjiu sighed again.
"It seems that I am not important enough in Tan'er's heart, otherwise why would Tan'er be so hesitant... Maybe it is my wishful thinking."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Dong Lingjiu stood up slowly and prepared to leave Xia Tan'er feeling guilty so that she could agree to sign the marriage contract.
But who is Xia Tan'er? To put it harshly, her heart is made of stainless steel. How can Dong Lingjiu be shaken by just feeling uncomfortable?
Dong Lingjiu walked very slowly step by step, but glanced behind him from time to time. Seeing that he was about to reach the door, Xia Tan'er didn't make a sound. Dong Lingjiu was really sad.
He held the door frame and raised his head, looking at Xia Tan'er with lonely eyes.
"It turns out that in Tan'er's heart, this king is not as important as Dongling Luo."
There was a thunderous sound in the sky, and then, lightning emitted a dazzling white light in the endless night, illuminating Dong Lingjiu's face extremely pale.
Dong Lingjiu still didn't let go of his hand holding the door frame, and just stared at Xia Tan'er motionless.
He was betting that Xia Tan'er had feelings for him.
There were lightning, thunder and heavy rain, and the alternating wind and rain outside the house brought gusts of cold wind in, but it gave Xia Tan'er an excellent excuse.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, close the door and come in. I'm cold."
All stubbornness disappeared in this soft voice. Dong Lingjiu turned back to the room and sat in front of the desk without saying a word.
"It's late at night, why don't you stay here tonight?"
Seeing that Dong Lingjiu had a straight face and didn't answer, thinking that he was still angry because she went to rescue Xue Chen, Xia Tan'er looked around and talked about the fact that he didn't mention the marriage contract, and found a topic to talk to Dong Ling. Nine started talking.
"Actually, I gained another benefit from going back to Xue Mansion to treat Xue Chen."
Dong Lingjiu glanced at Xia Tan'er and did not answer, but Xia Tan'er knew that he was listening and was gesturing for her to continue speaking.
Of course Xia Tan'er would not tease Dong Lingjiu at this time, so she analyzed the clues she got from Xue Chen today to Dong Lingjiu one by one.
"So maybe Xue Chen and I were given the same Hehuan Powder. Dong Lingyan was not in the palace at that time, but she was able to get this Hehuan Powder. There is only one truth. Dong Lingyan and the person who drugged her behind the scenes. There must be some kind of connection, so she was able to get the medicine easily."
"Uncle Nine Emperors, do you think what I said makes sense?"
