Hongye's disappointment only lasted for a moment, and then she put on a gentle smile, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Okay, okay."
Yuan Qingling let out a breath. Next time he comes, he must come with Lao Wu.
She was wondering whether she should tell Lao Wu about what happened this time. If she told him, he would definitely have to fight with A Chou. If she didn't tell Lao Wu, they had always been frank with each other and had no secrets. This precedent could not be set.
Ah Si stepped forward and pulled up the quilt for her. He was still frightened, "I think you have some evil intentions for coming here in the middle of the night. Sister Yuan, we will return tomorrow. It's too scary."
Ah Si knew that if Hong Ye started to play tricks, she would definitely not be his match, so it was better not to offend him.
"Okay, let's go back tomorrow." Yuan Qingling was also afraid of being involved. Hongye behaved too strangely along the way, trying hard to please and being unpredictable, as if a hole had been ripped open in his potential temperament.
At dawn the next day, Ah Si came over to clean up the carriage and said, "The carriage has already driven out. Can you leave? If you can't leave, I will carry you down."
Yuan Qingling tried to get off the ground. He took Hongye's crutch and used it to walk a few steps, then said: "No need to carry it, just help me when I go downstairs."
Her foot was swollen today, more swollen than yesterday, and very painful. She had to go back to see if she could put on a cast or splint, otherwise it would be detrimental to her recovery.
After struggling downstairs, Ah Si paid the bill in front of the lobby. Yuan Qingling and Baozi were sitting on chairs waiting, Baozi was drowsy, and Xue Lang lay at his feet, looking sleepy.
Hong Ye and A Chou also came down. Yuan Qing Ling looked over and saw A Chou limping along, looking at her with resentful eyes like poisonous snakes. The hatred that he wished to kill her still made people's hearts tremble.
.
Hongye came over and said calmly: "I avenged you."
Yuan Qingling didn't know what to say, so she could only nod slightly. In fact, she felt that what he said was inappropriate. Wouldn't it be okay if the matter was settled? But she had to say it in front of A Chou. Wouldn't it deepen her resentment?
The so-called person who is good at scheming must be good at figuring out people's hearts. If he doesn't mean it, he thinks he has control over A Chou.
However, women are uncontrollable, and Hongye may not know this.
Yuan Qingling felt very complicated in her heart, she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Be careful along the way, or I won't send you back to Beijing." Hongye continued.
"Uncle Hongye, where are you going?" Baozi didn't know Yuan Qingling was wary of Hongye. He just thought it was fun to continue on the road. He actually didn't want to go back to the capital. It took a long time to get out.
Hong Ye then looked back at Baozi and said with a smile: "Go to Jing Lake."
"I want to go too." Baozi jumped up, "We were originally going to Jing Lake."
Hongye hugged him with one hand and said, "Okay, then I'll take you there."
Yuan Qingling said in a hurry: "I can't go, go back to Beijing."
Baozi said aggrievedly: "Why can't you go? Uncle Hongye will send me back."
"Baozi, don't trouble uncle, come down quickly!" Yuan Qingling said angrily.
Baozi was still afraid of his mother, so he flattened his mouth and struggled down.
Hong Ye's face darkened, and she looked at Yuan Qing and said, "You shouldn't do this to your child. He can go wherever he wants. I will protect him."
"I have my own way of educating children, please don't interfere, sir." Yuan Qingling said unhappily.
Hongye frowned, "I didn't interfere with your education of your children, but you shouldn't restrict them so much."
"He is still young and doesn't know what to do or what not to do yet."
"Won't you also take him to Jinghu Lake? Then you can't go. If I take him there, your original wish will be fulfilled. But you can't trust me and are afraid that I will hurt him? If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it long ago.
Why wait until now?" Hongye's voice was slightly hurt.
Yuan Qingling's shoulders drooped slightly, "It seems that we need to talk."
She didn't want to cause misunderstandings or make enemies at this time. Hongye was always a difficult opponent. Even if she couldn't become a friend, she didn't want to become an enemy. She couldn't cause any more trouble to Lao Wu because he already had a lot of things to deal with and was planning something.
Things, if he and Hong Ye are at odds with each other at this moment, it will be extremely difficult for him.
She walked out on crutches. On the long street outside the inn, the cold wind blew, and the flags at the entrances of the major shops rustled. It was still early, and no one was walking on the street. Only the occasional sound of dogs barking in the distance could be heard.
This cold morning in a strange place made Yuan Qingling's head a mess, and her heart was indescribably irritated. She said to Hongye who followed closely: "Master Hongye, let me ask you, are we enemies or friends?"
?”
Hongye looked at her, "After the battle in Xinjiangbei, I thought at least you shouldn't ask such a question."
"Yes, I don't think it should be. So let me be arrogant and think that we are already friends. Let's take a look at it. You told me that I was the person you saved at first, and you never forget me. Is it true or false?
?”
"Fake!" Hongye said without hesitation, "At that time, I just wanted to find an excuse to get close to you."
"Okay, thank you for your honesty. This matter has troubled me, but it has passed. And then, you told Lao Wu by the Mirror Lake that you would get me within two years. I don't think you like it.
I, or you really want to be with me, so what is the purpose of you telling Lao Wu like this? To make words? To threaten?"
Hongye looked at her, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Do you think it's a lie or a threat? Why don't you think I really want to do this?"
"I don't think so." Yuan Qingling stretched out her hand to support the door and tried to adjust her posture. "I can at least be sure that you have no feelings for me as a man or woman."
Hongye's eyes were a little confused, "Are you so sure? Even I am not sure."
Yuan Qingling said cruelly: "I am also sure that you want to find the shadow of your mother in me, but I am not your mother. You must understand this. I will never be able to play your mother in front of you.
The character, I am Yuan Qingling."
Hongye looked at her, his expression began to become a little cold, "You don't have to try to see through people's hearts, you can't. You are a little arrogant, and what you said is very hurtful."
Yuan Qingling clenched his fists and said with some excitement: "I just want to protect everything I have. Everything I have today is hard-earned. I don't want to be destroyed by others, and I don't want to have any trouble with you, causing trouble between me and Lao Wu.
I hope we can be friends. To put it bluntly, I don’t want to be your enemy, because you are a terrible enemy."
Hongye's eyes flashed and she suddenly smiled, "You want us to be friends? I have been trying hard to show this attitude along the way. You were too nervous and you didn't notice."
Yuan Qingling's heart was hanging in her throat, and she wanted to shout loudly that it was not a friendly expression, but looking at his sudden innocent smile, she couldn't shout out these words. They seemed to be from the same world, always
