"My daughter-in-law knitted this by herself, and she even took it to the temple to have it consecrated today. She said she wanted to give this to you and wish you peace," Li Tiandao said.
Nangong Liuli stared blankly at the peace knot in Li Tian's hand.
After a while, she gathered her emotions and took the peace knot over.
"Thank you wife for me." Nangong Liuli held the peace knot in her hand and said, "I will cherish it."
"Um."
Li Tian smiled, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed that Su Chen was also there.
"cut."
Li Tian curled his lips and left.
He didn't like Su Chen. Even if Xia Qianxue didn't happen, he still didn't like Su Chen.
I don't know why, I just don't like it.
Su Chen also had a dark look on his face when he saw this.
He couldn't explain why, but he always felt that this man named Yang Yu made people a little angry.
In fact, his personality has always been calm and he generally does not have too strong emotional fluctuations.
But Li Tian's small move of curling his lips almost made Su Chen's hair almost explode.
However, because Nangong Liuli was there, he didn't show it.
After Li Tian's back disappeared from sight, Nangong Liuli withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "Let's go."
Nangong Liuli still stayed in the hotel where she stayed before, while Su Chen opened a room next door and stayed there.
After returning to the room, Nangong Liuli lay on the bed, took out the peace knot, and gently fiddled with it with her hands.
"If that woman Chu Xinyue knew that I was Nangong Liuli, would she still give me a peace knot?"
Afterwards, Nangong Liuli put away the peace knot, came to the window, looked at the direction of Li Tian and Chu Xinyue's rental house, and murmured in her heart: "Can I still use the identity of Nangong Liuli to see them?"
After a long time, Nangong Liuli still tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
She got up and went to the balcony.
The autumn wind blew by, blowing Nangong Liuli's long hair, covering her expression.
At this time, there was movement from the balcony of the next room, and Nangong Liuli turned to look.
Su Chen was lying on the guardrail of the balcony, looking at her and smiling.
"What are you laughing at?" Nangong Liuli said.
Su Chen smiled and said: "I had a sweet dream just now."
"What sweet dream?"
"I dreamed that we were getting married."
Nangong Liuli looked up at the stars and moon in the sky: "Are you getting married..."
"Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to force you. You said, give you some more time. I want to tell you, no matter how long, I am willing to wait." Su Chen said again.
He paused, then smiled and said: "I will continue to have sweet dreams. Your Majesty, please rest early."
After saying that, Su Chen returned to the bedroom.
Nangong Liuli did not go back to the house, but continued to look at the moon in the sky.
Su Chen is also a gentle person, at least towards himself, Nangong Liuli admits this.
But the difference between him and Li Tian is that there is a certain degree of coercion in his gentleness.
For example, everyone in the imperial capital knew that Su Chen liked him and was very kind to him. Many people were eagerly looking forward to their marriage.
This momentum is so huge that even Nangong Liuli can feel the pressure.
Even if Su Chen didn't expect to add fuel to the flames, as the prime minister of the empire, he would allow public opinion to ferment like this, so he must be responsible.
Of course, even if Su Chen did this intentionally, it is not considered despicable or shameless.
In the love scene, there are many more despicable tricks.
As a divorced woman who had a failed marriage, Nangong Liuli is psychologically more mature and stronger than those unmarried women, and can accept these methods.
but...
"Compared to Su Chen, Li Tian seems clumsy. He has never used public opinion to put pressure on himself."
Nangong Liuli's eyes fell in the direction of Li Tian and Chu Xinyue's rental house again.
"Those two look quite happy."
When she thought of this, Nangong Liuli clenched her fists tightly.
After a moment, her hands slowly let go.
"Go to sleep."
——-
Tonight, Jiangcheng is very quiet.
Compared to the fierce conflict between the Fox Clan and the Three-Eyed Green Wolf last night, both sides were very quiet tonight.
Maybe it's because last night's conflict has attracted the attention of human security forces and they were forced to enter a state of hibernation.
Or maybe it was just the tranquility before the war.
In any case, for the citizens of Jiangcheng, the daily life of the city has returned.
As a large number of soldiers from the Qilin Force were deployed in Jiangcheng, and disciples from various factions of the Cultivation Alliance also stationed in Jiangcheng, everyone's once nervous mood has calmed down again. The work and entertainment are peaceful, just like last night
It was as if the chaos in the city never happened.
But for some people, the chaos caused by the conflict between the Fox Clan and the Three-Eyed Blue Wolf last night was unforgettable and even had a far-reaching impact.
"Qianxue, you are Dongfang Han's fiancée now, so don't live at home all the time." Mother Xia urged.
Xia Qianxue lay on the bed, flipping through the magazine in her hand, and said calmly: "What kind of fiancée? The engagement is already ruined."
"Hey, what do you mean by being engaged? It's just that you didn't put on the ring."
"Putting on the ring is the most important step. Just like if you do too much foreplay, if you fail to enter, it cannot be consummated."
Xia Mu:...
I didn't know how to refute for a while.
After a while, Xia's mother said with a dark look on her face: "Hey, Qianxue, what do you mean? Do you want to regret your marriage?"
"We're not even engaged, so how can we regret our engagement?" Xia Qianxue asked rhetorically.
Xia's mother choked again.
"Xia Qianxue, I'm warning you, don't be willful. We are all relatives. If you regret it, how will I see your aunt in the future?" After a while, Xia's mother glared and said again.
She paused and then said: "Why are you dissatisfied with Dongfang Han? Do you know how popular Dongfang Han is?"
“Nothing to be unhappy about.”
"and you..."
"The main reason is that I'm too familiar with it and it's hard to make a move." Xia Qianxue said again.
Xia Mu:...
"You don't have to take action, just let him do it." Xia Mu added with a dark face.
"That won't work. I prefer to take the initiative."
Xia's mother is going crazy.
"Xia Qianxue!"
"Wow, the tigress is about to show off her power and run away."
After Xia Qianxue finished speaking, she immediately left home.
After a while, she returned to her rental house.
She has an apartment-type rental house near her original unit, and both Li Tian and Chu Xinyue have been there.
Xia Qianxue didn't turn on the light. She came to the balcony and sat down, then sighed.
"Using marriage, urging marriage, you know you are urging marriage, and you don't know whether it is me or you who is getting married."
Xia Qianxue was helpless.
At this time, the phone rang.
It was a call from Dongfang Han.
Xia Qianxue didn't pick her up.
"Speaking of which, Dongfang Han didn't marry me because he liked me. He wanted to marry me with the mentality of a savior. Will such a marriage really be happy? And..."
Xia Qianxue looked up at the starry sky and murmured to herself: "I don't need any rescue, and I don't feel like I'm in an abyss. Although it's painful not being able to be with the person you like, it's painful to be with the person you don't love.
It will be more painful."
The ringing didn't stop, it was still ringing.
Xia Qianxue calmed down and pressed the answer button.
"Qianxue?" Dongfang Han's slightly magnetic baritone sounded on the phone.
"Um."
"Your mother called just now and said that you ran away from home and asked me to find you. What's going on?" Dongfang Han asked.
"Uh, it's nothing, it's just that my mother is in menopause and is nagging her, which makes her very annoying." Xia Qianxue said.
"What are you talking about? Is it about the two of us?"
Xia Qianxue thought for a while, and then said calmly: "That's right."
"Then what do you think?" Dongfang Han asked again.
"I calmed down and thought about it. It feels weird that we are engaged like this. I know you care about me, but your feelings for me are not between men and women, right? It doesn't feel very fair to you."
Qianxue said.
"I know what you are worried about." Dongfang Han paused and then said, "Let me tell you something. In fact, I prefer men to women."
"Eh?"
Xia Qianxue was a little confused, and after a while she said weakly: "In other words, you are gay?"
"That's right."
Xia Qianxue opened her mouth.
In fact, to be honest, she has always felt strange.
Her cousin was obviously excellent in all aspects, but she had never heard of him having any girlfriends.
"That's it."
At this time, Dongfang Han asked again: "Do you think I am a pervert?"
"Ah? Absolutely not!" Xia Qianxue paused, then chuckled: "Actually, I can be considered a rotten girl. I wish you a long life!"
"Hey." Dongfang Han sighed softly: "Our circle is very difficult. There are very few people who are fair and honest. Most of them got married under the pressure of their families, and their lives are worse than death."
Dongfang Han paused and then said: "So I also need a marriage as a cover, otherwise, I will be urged to get married, or even forced to get married. In short... I won't do anything to you."
Xia Qianxue's eyes flickered.
To be honest, she was not sure whether what Dongfang Han said was true.
However, judging from the condition of Chu Xinyue's belly, she probably gave birth soon.
At this time, Xia Qianxue didn't want Chu Xinyue to be distracted.
She knows Chu Xinyue, this woman is very sensitive to her and Li Tian's affairs.
If at this time, I announced that I was dating Dongfang Hanhuang...
"That woman will definitely think too much about it."
Just as Xia Qianxue guessed, Chu Xinyue was indeed very concerned about Xia Qianxue's engagement status.
"Li Tian, do you think Qianxue and Dongfang Han are done?" Chu Xinyue said.
"How do I know?" Li Tian paused, then smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry about other people's private matters."
"Having said that, she is my best best friend. And..."
Chu Xinyue paused and then said, "If she doesn't even want Dongfang Han, does she still like you?"
Ahem!
Li Tian choked.
"Well, wife, don't think blindly. It's okay. Qianxue and Dongfang Han are very loving." Li Tian said bravely.
"But, I always feel like that girl is not happy."
"Well..."
Just when Li Tian didn't know how to comfort Chu Xinyue, Chu Xinyue's eyes suddenly brightened.
