Chapter 150

Dragon Palace Feast is a seafood restaurant.

The taxi driver dropped Li Zhongwu and Fang Xingtong here. After getting off the car, they looked up at the high lintel of the hotel and the almost full cars in the parking lot in front, and they had an idea of ​​the strength of this restaurant.

A bit of trust.

When I came to the store, I asked for a private room on the second floor, ordered a table of seafood and a bottle of red wine.

The two of them were chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was not lively, but quite harmonious.

Fang Xingtong: "The seafood here is really fresh. It's so convenient to eat seafood in coastal cities!"

Li Zhongwu: "Well, it's not bad!"

Fang Xingtong: "Do you like seafood?"

Li Zhongwu: "It's average! You can try it occasionally."

Fang Xingtong was a little surprised, "You only want to try it occasionally? You invited me to eat seafood tonight, I thought you liked it very much!"

Li Zhongwu smiled, "I have loved eating meat since I was a child. No matter how delicious seafood is, it is not more attractive to me than a bowl of braised pork."

Fang Xingtong looked up at him, smiled and said, "Then I'll make braised pork for you next time."

Li Zhongwu raised his glass and said, "Thank you."

Fang Xingtong raised his glass, "Are you so polite to me? As long as you nod, I am willing to cook braised pork for you for the rest of my life. Do you want to nod?"

When she said this, she looked at Li Zhongwu with a smile in her eyes and a smile on her lips, but her expression was somewhat serious.

Li Zhongwu looked at her for two or three seconds, smiled faintly, raised his face slightly, drank the red wine in the glass, and said when he put the glass down: "A lifetime is so long, don't make promises easily."

Hearing what he said, Fang Xingtong looked a little disappointed. She drank the red wine in her glass, then stood up and picked up the bottle to pour him some wine.

While pouring wine, he asked: "You don't believe my promise? Do you think I can't be trusted?"

She came closer to pour him wine, and the aroma of her body floated into Li Zhongwu's nose, becoming a little stronger, and her attraction to him naturally increased.

After being single for a long time, your body will always be a little bit eager to be attracted to beautiful women. This is an instinct and it is difficult to suppress it.

"No, it's not about whether I believe it or not. It's just that I'm not used to listening to other people's promises. I'm used to observing what the other person does."

Li Zhongwu's words made Fang Xingtong fall silent for a moment.

because……

If she promises, she can give it right away, but observing her behavior must be long-term. In a short period of time, it is difficult to see why.

The seventh princess has ordered her to marry him as soon as possible, so she doesn't have much time to wait.

The seventh princess will not wait too long.

She knew that the seventh princess's plan might be launched in the next year or two, or even shorter. She had to get Li Zhongwu on their ship as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the seventh princess couldn't wait, she might not know when.

Order her to marry another master.

This was the worry that had always existed in her heart.

Although she has no love for Li Zhongwu so far, since the seventh princess has intended to use her marriage to win over someone, she would rather the person she wants to marry is Li Zhongwu.

At least she doesn't hate Li Zhongwu. She thinks that Li Zhongwu is pretty good in all aspects. His appearance is not outstanding, but he is average to above average. His temperament is rare, and his kung fu is very good.

If she can't marry Li Zhongwu, who knows who the seventh princess will marry her next?

While thinking, Fang Xingtong laughed at himself and sighed: "Do you know? My birthday is coming soon, do you know what this means?"

Li Zhongwu was puzzled and looked up at her.

Fang Xingtong: "This means that the day for me to pay the fine for being unmarried this year is coming soon. Then my parents will also have to pay another fine with me. I don't want to have to pay this kind of fine again this year. Although the fine is not much, it is

...It feels very uncomfortable, do you understand?"

Li Zhongwu: "?"

He didn't expect her to say this suddenly.

His mood became a little complicated for a while, because his birthday was not far away. According to the rules of the Great Yan Dynasty of this era, he was still unmarried at his age and had to pay a fine.

Don't think too much about this matter, the more you think about it, the more depressed you will feel.

It is against the law not to get married... Where is the rationale for this?

"When is your birthday?"

After a few seconds of silence, Li Zhongwu asked her.

Fang Xingtong: "At the end of next month."

When she gave this answer, she had already made a temporary decision. If he was really willing to register marriage with her before the end of next month, she would ask her father to change her birth date in the household registration to the end of next month.

Anyway, her father is the deputy city lord of Tianfu City. To change her birth date in her household registration, all she needs to do is give instructions to her assistant.

Li Zhongwu did not doubt that she would lie about her birthday. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and said, "I will prepare a birthday gift for you then."

Fang Xingtong looked at him speechlessly.

Did she say this just to ask him for a birthday gift?

Li Zhongwu was not stupid, and of course he understood what she meant, but he had not yet decided whether to be with her, so he could only pretend not to understand what she meant to avoid embarrassment to each other.

Fang Xingtong's identity and reserve also made her embarrassed to reveal it.

She also guessed that he was pretending to be stupid on purpose.

She felt a little helpless in her heart, and for the first time in her life, she realized that in matters of love, you will definitely succeed if you don't work hard.

Without the urging from the Seventh Princess, she would definitely have stopped here tonight and would not have mentioned this topic again.

However, the seventh princess' urging put pressure on her. At this time, she was silent for a moment and said to Li Zhongwu helplessly: "I believe you can feel my feelings for you. I hope you don't make me pay until the end.

Nothing is gained."

Li Zhongwu frowned slightly and looked at her again.

The extent to which she spoke was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that a wealthy lady of her status would respect her status and not speak too clearly on emotional matters.

"No, even if we can't get together in the end, you won't get nothing, at least you will learn a lesson."

He smiled and made a joke.

Fang Xingtong: "..."

This joke made her want to laugh but was speechless.

More of a powerlessness.

She had already talked to this extent, but he still didn't express his position.

She forced a smile and raised her glass, "Let's have another drink!"

Li Zhongwu could feel the depression in her heart, and he was a little touched in his heart. He really began to consider whether to make a decision as soon as possible? Give her a clear answer?

He is not a heartless and heartless person.

It's just that in the past three years or so, he has been scheming and fighting a lot in reincarnation worlds, so he has become accustomed to suppressing his feelings and will not be easily emotional towards anyone.

But tonight, the words Fang Xingtong said one after another, each time with more obvious hints, made him see her sincerity.

Although he still doesn't feel that she loves him...

However, when he was thinking about marriage, he didn't intend to find a woman who loved him.

Because in recent years, he has become more and more aware that men and women may separate because of something that unites them together in the future.

For example: those who are married because of money will be separated in the future because of lack of money.

Likewise, those who are united by love may be separated in the future by the disappearance of love.

And how long is the shelf life of love?

He didn't think it would be long.

Of course, he does not object to marrying a woman who loves him.

He just doesn't regard love as a necessary condition for union.

Yes, it's good, but if not, he can accept it.

…

late at night.

In a guest room of Rugui Inn, Fang Xingtong sat on the bedside, closing his eyes and recalling the conversations he had with Li Zhongwu tonight, feeling powerless again.

She felt that she had lowered her profile to pursue him, but in the end...he just didn't express his stance or make a commitment.

This affects her self-confidence quite a bit.

She had never thought that one day in the future, the man she fell in love with would look down on her.
To be continued...
