However, just as Gong Yueyue nodded and bowed, Zhao Changyuan, who had already had a premonition of what she was going to say next, forcibly interrupted her.
"The decision is yours."
He hurriedly said these words, glanced at her faintly, and with an indifferent expression, he stepped out of her line of sight.
Gong Yueyue was left standing there blankly, struggling for a long time.
She really wants to go back, but...
Looking around the study courtyard filled with lights and colorful decorations, Gong Yueyue, filled with disappointment, lowered her head again.
"It doesn't matter. As smart as my sister is, I believe she will be able to complete those things soon and return to the Central Plains to reunite with her beloved husband."
Saying that, Xiao Zi showed a relaxed smile as much as possible, and then gently held her hand.
Feeling the warmth on her hands, Gong Yueyue lowered her head in silence as she looked at Xiao Zi, who was obviously younger than herself but ran over to comfort her.
yes……
After this matter is completed, she can even rely on her own strength to go back if she wants to.
So, why rush at this moment? Anyway, we will always be reunited with him...
Isn't it...?
While providing psychological comfort, I constantly warned myself that I was no longer a child and could no longer be so willful...
However, Gong Yueyue bit her lip, leaving a deep tooth mark on her lips that had lost some of their color. After all, she just suppressed her sadness and stopped thinking about it.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists. It didn't matter, just pretend that she had practiced here.
When she goes back, she will be a brand new person...
Stronger, braver...even more powerful.
Would Shen Ying like her like this?
Gradually, he looked out the window into the distance, and his slightly moist eyes were filled with grief.
…
After preparing her speech, Gong Yueyue went to the study again to meet Zhao Changyuan.
"Master Zhao."
However, things went against expectations. I had made a lot of plans along the way, but when I was actually in front of him, I was so nervous that I forgot about everything.
After a soft call came out, Gong Yueyue was speechless.
After being silent for a long time, she knew that remaining silent like this was not an option. She looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the house, and finally plucked up the courage to take a deep breath.
"About what happened this morning, I'm sorry for saying such irrational words. Now, I have thought about it..."
It is always a bit embarrassing to say something serious but not get any response from the other party, not even a look.
However, no matter how embarrassed he was, he could only look at him helplessly at this moment. Even though he was still concentrating on reading the unknown Xiongnu book in his hand.
But a moment of silence may be an honest mistake, but a long silence may not be right.
"Mr. Zhao?" With a worried look in her eyes, she had no choice but to call out to someone who seemed to be outside the service area.
However, the only thing that responded to her was her own voice that echoed in the room.
this……
Could it be that he has made up his mind not to talk to her anymore...
why……
"Um."
Just when Gong Yueyue, who was crying with a face full of despair, was even planning to give up, she heard a vague response from him.
That little movement was better than nothing. It immediately made Gong Yueyue's uneasy heart settle down.
And his next actions confirmed that what she heard before was not an illusion.
"Is it?"
After this slight question, Zhao Changyuan lowered his head again and continued to read the books under his hands.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.
Helplessly, Zhao Changyuan raised his head and looked at her.
"I still don't know what kind of answer Miss Gong will give to Mr. Zhao."
His burning eyes were fixed on her, who was shivering like a little white rabbit that had escaped from its nest and was exposed to the sight of a hunter. For some reason, a sinful feeling spread in his heart.
The secretly upward curve of the corners of his mouth was probably even invisible to him.
When he looked at her like this unexpectedly, she felt that his gaze was like a needle or a sword, and it was not as warm as before. Gong Yueyue's heart tightened for no reason.
"It's... it's about returning to the Central Plains. Actually, I'm... not that anxious. We can talk about it later..."
She finished speaking hurriedly and lowered her head in a hurry. She didn't want him to see her eyes twinkling.
"Um."
Zhao Changyuan, who still didn't put down the book, quickly gave a short response to Gong Yueyue, who buried his head lower and lower.
That voice sounds...
Surprisingly a little happy?
Gong Yueyue, who didn't think it was just a hallucination, was stunned for a moment, and immediately wanted to bury her head on her chest.
It seems that she did not think too much before, and she has disappointed Mr. Zhao to such an extent...
So in the future, we have to work harder.
Opposite Zhao Changyuan, who did not have the ability to read minds, had no idea what wonderful misunderstanding had been formed in her mind unknowingly...
Looking at her who was regaining her fighting spirit but still looking down, Zhao Changyuan thought for a while and said: "Today's dinner, I invited a group of local dancers to come. If you have never been exposed to these, you may not understand them.
However, their dancing is indeed very beautiful, and even the prince here is full of praises. If you are interested, you might as well come and enjoy it."
"Um."
He agreed without thinking. Seeing Zhao Changyuan's slightly stunned eyes, he realized that he shouldn't be like this.
However, so what...
Probably he will never know that in this soft and frail body, there actually lives the soul of a modern man.
Yes, as long as you don’t tell yourself, who will know...
Slowly lowering his head, he raised his hand to wipe his eyes that were moist for some reason. Gong Yueyue snickered evilly in her heart...
…
That team of legendary dancers was indeed as Zhao Changyuan said, dancing extremely beautifully.
Looking at the group of girls spinning rapidly in the middle of the hall, unreservedly releasing their charms, Gong Yueyue picked a grape off the table next to her and put it into her mouth.
A pair of eyes, illuminated by dim lights, quickly scanned the surrounding people.
What a young emperor, she really knows how to think...
If any interested person found out about this, it would be a serious crime to be beheaded.
Although the distant Emperor Gu Yuan looked very amiable except for being a bit lecherous, she clearly understood the truth that misfortune comes from the mouth.
He secretly warned himself that he would never touch any royal matters again.
"Sister..." Xiao Zi's soft call suddenly came from beside her, and she felt her clothes being pulled.
I thought that the attentive Xiao Zi noticed the movement on her side and wanted to ask about her situation. However, the little girl looked shy and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Xiao Zi... can't you?"
