Near midnight, a farce-like banquet came to an end.
After it was over, most officials avoided Li Nanke as if they were avoiding the god of plague, and quickly moved out of the way, fearing that they would get a fishy smell.
Lan Minsheng chatted for a few words and then left.
Before leaving, he said with emotion: "The timid are afraid of being aggressive, the aggressive are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned are afraid of losing their lives. Brother Li, you are a ruthless person who is desperate for his life. I have already seen it in Yuncheng.
In this capital, there are actually many timid people, so I really hope you can stir up some big waves."
"Brother Lan, are you timid?"
Li Nanke joked, "If you are timid, you might as well follow me to ensure safety."
Lan Minsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, following you will scare people to death sooner or later. I'd better stay away, so don't scare me."
This is a kind of statement.
I won't help you, nor will I make things difficult for you.
We are not friends, let alone enemies.
After Lan Minsheng left, Tian Shuanglong, who said goodbye to other officials, walked up to Li Nanke, pointed to his carriage on the roadside, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Li, do you want me to give you a ride?"
"No, Uncle Tian, I drank too much, so I'm going to have some fresh air to sober up."
Li Nanke declined.
This is equivalent to the second time he has rejected Tian Shuanglong's invitation to win over.
The roads are different, so don’t take the same car.
"Forget it." Tian Shuanglong was not annoyed. He glanced at Gu Ying beside Li Nanke and said, "The moon is dark and the wind is high. Such a beautiful lady should be careful when walking on the road."
This is not a threat, but a kind reminder.
Although the public security under the emperor's feet is good, it does not mean that it is perfect. Especially Li Nanke's next road is very dangerous and can easily affect his family.
"Well, we'll pay attention."
Li Nanke smiled and nodded.
As he said that, he held Gu Ying's hand and said, "I don't have any other skills, but I still have some experience in protecting my own women."
Gu Ying blushed and wanted to break away but realized something was wrong, so she let the man hold her.
Tian Shuanglong laughed loudly and patted Li Nanke's shoulder hard, "Yes, yes, a man should be so responsible."
After saying that, he got on the carriage.
Watching the carriage leave, Li Nanke breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "A bunch of old fried dough sticks are so slippery, they are all made of loaches."
"Puch~"
Gu Ying was amused.
Seeing Li Nanke looking back at her, the woman's face heated up, she brushed her hair by her ears and whispered, "Will they make things difficult for you?"
"Weren't you in trouble just now?"
Li Nanke laughed at himself.
Gu Ying sighed softly, "The officialdom is too tiring. I will either become a fox or a jackal. I don't know why you insist on doing this."
"When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves."
Li Nanke held the woman's hand and walked on the quiet and deserted street.
Feeling the warmth transmitted from the man's palm, Gu Ying also felt warm in her heart, and she was reluctant to let go of the other person's hand and let the man hold her.
The two walked forward in silence, the bright white moonlight lengthening their shadows, leaving behind faint memories.
"what a pity."
Li Nanke let out a long sigh.
"What's the pity?" Gu Ying turned her head, her watery eyes filled with doubts.
Li Nanke looked regretful, "Looking at how beautifully you dressed up today, I thought there would be some scoundrel showing up, and I was planning to perform a heroic rescue of beauty, but nothing happened."
Gu Ying smiled and joked: "With your cultivation, can you really be a hero and save a beautiful woman?"
"Some conflicts cannot be resolved by force, but this is the only way to resolve them."
Li Nanke pointed to his head.
Recalling the previous situation at the banquet when Li Nanke faced threats and provocations from many officials, but retaliated and suppressed the other party, Gu Ying was deeply convinced.
Some conflicts simply cannot be resolved by force.
The two of them stopped talking and continued walking.
Sometimes when a carriage or passers-by pass by at night, Gu Ying will subconsciously want to withdraw her hand, but she is always held tightly by the man and has no choice but to give up.
This man is so domineering!
Gu Ying wrinkled her delicate nose, feeling secretly annoyed.
However, she completely forgot that with her cultivation level, if she really wanted to break free, it would be very easy.
"Cold?"
Li Nanke asked softly.
Gu Ying was startled and just about to shake her head, the other party let go of her hand.
The moment she let go, the coldness of the night enveloped her, dispelling all the warmth the man had left in her hand.
Gu Ying stood blankly, extremely uncomfortable.
Even at this moment, she felt a little flustered for no reason.
It was as if I was an abandoned child, alone on the street.
She moved her red lips and subconsciously replied: "It's a little cold."
"Let me warm you up."
The next second, she was embraced by the man.
Gu Ying froze her delicate body.
Li Nanke's clothes were actually blown cold by the night wind, but for some reason, she felt her whole body getting warm and sweating.
Especially the beating sound in the other person's chest seemed to be accompanying her heart.
"This place in the capital is really cold at night."
Li Nanke made a pun.
"Um."
Gu Ying responded dully, completely at a loss.
She never expected that the other party would suddenly hug her on the street, and her brain went blank.
Reason told her that she should push him away, but remembering the chill just now, she was reluctant to push away the lost and regained warmth.
Li Nanke looked at the stunned woman in his arms. He was amused but at the same time he couldn't help but have complicated emotions in his heart.
In terms of age, Gu Ying has passed her prime.
She is also the only woman around him who has ever been married, and has a unique charm of a wife.
But when it comes to love, it is very pure.
Pure white is like snowflakes under the warm winter sun, clean and easy to melt. Even if you hold it carefully in your hands, it will eventually turn into teardrops.
God gave her touching beauty, but fate deprived her of the years when she was most worthy of enjoying love.
This is undoubtedly a very heartbreaking scar.
Fairness and unfairness go hand in hand.
So the woman in my arms now has more fragile and sensitive feelings than the little girl.
If there is any excess or cooling down, she will choose to escape or even be separated for life.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Nanke knows this very well.
Luo Qianqiu, who knows Master Niang best, also knows this very well.
Luo Qianqiu kicked him out of the room last night.
It's not a punishment for anger.
Instead, he wanted Li Nanke to go to his wife Gu Ying's room to stay with her and soothe her broken heart.
Li Nanke knew this very well.
But he still chose to return to his wife.
Because in Li Nanke's heart, his wife's broken heart is what needs to be licked the most.
As for Gu Ying...
Master’s wife.
Li Nanke felt sad.
As the first woman to have sex with him, she was reluctant to let him go.
But how do you make the other party stay with all your heart?
Li Nanke unconsciously caressed the woman's soft lips with his fingers, and while she was dazed, he lowered his head and kissed her.
But the imagined romance did not happen.
The moment their lips touched, Gu Ying separated like an electric shock and pushed the man away with all her strength.
Her face was very white, the kind that suddenly turned white.
His eyes flashed with fear and hesitation.
"No... no..."
Gu Ying staggered back, her elongated and slender shadow shaking uneasily on the ground, just like her mood at this time.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Nanke frowned.
"stop!"
She scolded Li Nanke, who was about to come forward to comfort her, but her beautiful and flawless face was stained with tears at some point, and looked cold in the moonlight.
"Li Nanke, you don't like me! You don't like me!"
Gu Ying said it over and over again.
The woman tried to wake herself up and warned the other party not to continue to coax her.
She and Li Nanke don't have such a deep relationship.
So it shouldn't have come to this point.
"But I want to be your man. It's not some bullshit responsibility, but..." Li Nanke couldn't speak. The other party's tearful eyes couldn't let him say deceptive words.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to really like this woman.
Because he couldn't bear to deceive the other party.
Gu Ying wiped away her tears with her sleeves and shook her head vigorously, "We shouldn't be like this, we shouldn't force ourselves like this. Li Nanke, our fate ended two years ago."
"You're wrong, that's the beginning."
Li Nanke corrected.
Gu Ying smiled bitterly, looked up at the moon that was about to be covered by thin clouds, and said sadly: "Actually, you are right, the bastard who bullied me was not you, but you two years ago.
I shouldn't continue to be entangled with you, I shouldn't make Qiu'er embarrassed, our fate has never been good, what am I extravagantly hoping for?
Li Nanke, please forget about me."
The emotions expressed by women are clear.
She's leaving!
Stay away from Li Nanke and Luo Qianqiu completely!
Li Nanke, who understood what the woman was thinking, was dumbfounded and regretted his impulsive behavior just now.
Sure enough, once the behavior is excessive, the other party will choose to escape.
The water should flow slowly and steadily.
Not everyone is like Helan Xiaoxiao, a fool who can be fooled casually.
"Li Nanke, apologize to Qiu'er for me. We will never see each other again in this life."
After saying that, the woman turned around resolutely.
"division--"
Li Nanke's expression changed and he quickly stopped him.
But as soon as he started to move, he stayed where he was. Even Gu Ying, who was about to leave, also stood motionless, looking ahead in shock.
I saw a monk and nun standing on the street.
There is only one huge, blood-red eye like a mouth on its face.
"You...give me back my daughter!!"
The nun's bloody eyes stared straight at Gu Ying, filled with overwhelming hatred.
