"What you said makes sense. I haven't thought about this myself." Ruan Chulian was still depressed: "But how can we explain the relationship clearly? In short, as long as I think about marrying him in the future, I can't sleep.
Sleep."
Bai Qi gave some advice: "How about going to the Queen? Ask her to help. You are so unwilling."
Ruan Chulian pursed her lips: "But she told me the news about my engagement, and she also asked me to get along well with Li Yue and cultivate our relationship."
Bai Qi: "It seems you have no choice but to accept your fate."
Ruan Chulian's expression became even more miserable.
Xu Fengmi hugged her: "Oh, today is the Lantern Festival, don't think about these things. At this point, there is nothing we can do, so we might as well resign ourselves to fate. I heard that there are a lot of weird things over there in the East Market. Let's
Go check it out!”
After hearing this, Ruan Chulian slumped for a while, then her depression disappeared and her eyes were clear and clean: "You are right, don't let these messy things disturb you, let's go, let's go to Dongshi."
"Do you want to put out lanterns?" Bai Qi asked.
Xu Fengmi pouted: "Old-fashioned."
Ruan Chulian: "It's boring."
Bai Qi:.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and walking and shopping, and they were very happy.
Not long after, a few people had some extra food in their hands.
Ruan Chulian said with a smile: "I came out deliberately without having dinner, leaving my stomach full for these delicious foods."
She looked like this, but she didn't look as dejected as she had just now.
Xu Fengmi shook his head: "I still ate some pastries to cushion my stomach. After all, it's cold and it would be too uncomfortable not to eat."
"Hey, Xiao Qi, isn't that your brother?" Xu Fengmi looked not far away and motioned to Bai Qi to take a look.
Bai Qi followed her gaze, her eyes lit up, she smiled and waved: "Brother!"
When Bai Ya came closer, he realized that there was a girl beside him, whom Xu Fengmi didn't recognize.
Bai Ya looked at the three people with a smile and nodded in greeting one by one. Then he looked at Bai Qi and said warmly: "Don't be greedy, or you will hurt your stomach."
Bai Qi smiled: "I know."
After a few more words, Bai Ya took the girl and left.
Ruan Chulian poked Bai Qi: "That's your brother? He's so handsome. Who is that person next to him?"
"My brother is interested in the girl at home. I heard that the two of them seem to get along very well, so the two families are also interested in getting married. I think they will be engaged soon." Bai Qi glanced at Ruan Chulian and was speechless: "You don't like her.
Is he my brother? It’s useless to fall in love with her. You are already the one who wants to get engaged. I advise you to give up on this."
Ruan Chulian howled twice and took a hard bite of the spicy shortbread in her hand.
Xu Fengmi said: "That makes no sense. Li Yuesheng is not bad. He is very gentle and polite in dealing with others. In some aspects, he is similar to Xiao Qi's brother. Why don't you like him?"
"I just don't like it!" Ruan Chulian kicked the stones on the ground hard: "Smiling Tiger!"
Unexpectedly, the stone flew out and hit the robe of the person in front. All three of them were stunned.
Several people looked up along the crimson robe, and a smooth and clean face appeared in front of their eyes.
The person who came was none other than Li Yue. He had black hair tied high, his eyebrows were tied with a red and white cloud pine crane and he was wiping his forehead. He was wearing a red robe with gold patterns and a plush pure black cloak. His brows were cold and his temperament was cool.
Extraordinary.
Ruan Chulian shrank her feet, feeling quite guilty. Then she raised her chin. What was she feeling guilty about? She was right.
He is a smiling tiger!
Xu Fengmi smiled: "Prince Li."
Li Yue also nodded and smiled: "What a coincidence. Just now I heard Miss Ruan talking about the Smiling Tiger. I wonder who is the Smiling Tiger in Miss Ruan's mouth?"
Ruan Chulian glared at him fiercely: "None of your business!"
"Can't you tell me?" Cheng Qi appeared out of nowhere and stared at Li Yue with an inquiring look on his face: "I made an appointment with you, but you refused and said that it was inconvenient to meet you because you had something to do. Then you are alone now.
do what?"
Li Yue's expression did not change: "By evening, the matter will be settled. I was afraid of delaying you, so I declined you politely. Seeing the excitement outside, I thought of going out for a stroll."
Cheng Qi hummed: "Excuse!"
He turned to look at Xu, Bai, and Ruan, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It happens that he and I are alone, do you want to join us together? Let's go together, there are so many people and it will be lively."
"Okay." This is Xu Fengmi.
"No!" This is Ruan Chulian.
Seeing Xu Fengmi agree, Ruan Chulian looked at her in surprise.
Xu Fengmi didn't say anything, but rubbed her head and smiled without saying a word.
So a few people started walking together.
Seeing Cheng Qi alone, Bai Qi asked curiously: "Why is Prince Cheng alone? Today is the Lantern Festival, so it stands to reason that Prince Cheng should be out playing with his friends."
"I'm confused too." Cheng Qi curled his lips and said very depressedly: "I don't know what's going on with them. They can't date any of them."
Xu Fengmi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She turned her head and looked at Cheng Qi for a long time, and finally looked away silently.
Bai Qi looked sideways at Ruan and Li, and said with a smile: "Alian, Prince Li, why don't you talk? I remember you two know each other?"
Ruan Chulian glanced at her secretly and said righteously: "Prince Li and I know each other, but we are not familiar with each other, so we have nothing to say."
Li Yue: "Li is intentional, but Miss Ruan doesn't seem to have this intention. This not only makes people misunderstand, but also misunderstands that Li is the smiling tiger in Miss Ruan's mouth."
Ruan Chulian gritted her teeth secretly and did not answer.
Cheng Qi said: "Smiling Tiger? What Smiling Tiger?"
He looked at Ruan Chulian for a moment and said, "Auntie, who has offended you again? Today is the Lantern Festival, isn't it?"
Ruan Chulian glanced at him: "Children should not interfere with adults' matters."
Cheng Qi:.
He is not a child!
He looked around depressedly, not knowing where he saw it, and excitedly pointed at something: "Uncle Jiu! Brother Xun!"
Almost at the same time, Xu Fengmi and Bai Qi immediately turned their heads to look.
Ruan Chulian immediately put aside the annoying Li Yue and bumped into Xu Fengmi's shoulder with a smile: "Oh, it seems to be a coincidence."
She emphasized the word coincidence a little too strongly.
Xu Fengmi raised the corner of her mouth: "In relationships, many coincidences are planned for a long time."
Ruan Chulian clicked her tongue, and she turned her head to look forward, waiting for Cheng and Rong to come.
At this moment, her sleeve moved and a warm hand quietly held her.
Ruan Chulian's eyes widened, she turned around and cursed: "You..."
Li Yue smiled softly: "Miss Ruan, it's better not to make any noise. Even if Li is scolded, he will not regret this move."
