In the Taiwei Mansion, a few more lights gradually came on. Gao Taiwei was sitting on the warm bed, looking at Feng Lan who was sitting beside him with his head lowered, and sighed sadly, "Shanshan..."
"Dad, you should still call me Lan'er. In the past few years, I have always called myself Feng Lan."
"Okay, Lan'er." Lieutenant Gao looked at his daughter, patted her hand distressedly, and said softly, "Lan'er, for so many years, your father has always supported you in whatever you want.
All the best things in the world are given to you. But, Laner, you are just too stubborn. Sometimes letting go may make you happier."
Feng Lan lowered her head and said nothing, but tears flowed down uncontrollably. Gao Taiwei raised her head anxiously, at a loss, and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with his sleeves, and said urgently: "
Lan'er, what's wrong with you, don't cry."
Butler Liu also hurriedly found a handkerchief and handed it to Captain Gao. After taking it, he hurriedly wiped the tears on Feng Lan's face. He had always liked this daughter because she was strong and smart. In his memory,
, his daughter has always been strong and heart-warming, and has never shed a tear in front of him. Even when her mother passed away, she cried all night, and she has never shed a tear since.
After a while, Feng Lan finally stopped crying, and Captain Gao and Butler Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lan'er, tell dad, did the third elder brother bully you?" Captain Gao held the handkerchief tightly in his hand and asked loudly.
Feng Lan looked at him with tears in her eyes, shook her head, but once again threw herself into his arms and cried loudly. She was really tired. She had never felt like this since she was a child.
Her pride had been stabbed to the point of being reduced to tears, and she hated herself like this. However, she did not lose to anyone, she only lost to her own heart.
After loving Qi Yu for so many years, she couldn't bear to leave him. Her heart could no longer tolerate anyone. The thought of leaving him made her heart burn with pain. Even though she knew that he had someone else in his heart, she still chose
She wanted to marry him. Now she knew that he still couldn't tolerate her in his heart, and she still didn't want to leave.
For a long time, Lieutenant Gao patted her back gently, as if he was coaxing her to sleep when she was little. She looked so tired, and he had never seen her look like this before.
Feeling a burst of dazzling sunlight shining on her eyes, Feng Lan slowly opened her eyes. I don't know when, she had already fallen asleep on the bed. Thinking back to last night, when she cried in her father's arms, maybe
I was tired from crying and fell asleep.
She stood up, put her clothes in order, and collected her emotions before opening the door. As soon as she walked out of the room, Butler Liu walked up to her and said, "Miss, you're awake. The master said that you should go to the study to find him when you wake up."
"I see."
After leaving the room, Feng Lan did not go directly to the study, but went to the yard where she and her mother often stayed together when she was a child. After sitting for a while, she got up and went to the study.
Pushing open the door and going in, Captain Gao was reading an ancient book. When he saw her coming, he smiled kindly, closed the book in his hand, stood up and sat with her at the coffee table.
"Dad, do you have something to do with me?"
Feng Lan secretly paid attention to the expression on his face. She had developed the habit of observing words and expressions since she was a child. At this time, it was also an instinctive reaction.
"It's okay, I just want to talk to my daughter about my concerns." Captain Gao smiled loudly.
"Dad, you have something to tell your daughter. Otherwise, you won't let your daughter come to the study." Feng Lan smiled softly, she had already cried all her tears last night.
"You." Captain Gao looked at her loudly, and finally sighed, "Lan'er, dad used to be most worried about you, but now, you are the most worried about me."
"Dad -" Feng Lan interrupted him hastily, she had already guessed what he was going to say.
"Lan'er, listen to what Dad has said." Watching Feng Lan lower his head, Captain Gao continued, "Your temper is the same as your mother's, and almost no one can change it. Dad also understands you.
, will be willing to let you be a girl by the side of Third Brother. However, when you came back last night, my father couldn’t bear to see your exhaustion. I don’t want my most beloved daughter to suffer elsewhere. If not, I will only
I want to give you the best things in the world."
"Dad, I know..." Feng Lan reached out and gently held his hand, whispering.
"Lan'er, don't let yourself be unhappy. Seeing you look sad makes dad feel uncomfortable. Your mother's spirit in heaven will also feel sad for you." He grabbed his daughter's hand and shook it hard.
grip.
"Dad, I know you love me. But the path is chosen by my daughter, and I will go on it. I promise you that I will not let myself cry again in the future, okay?"
While they were talking, Butler Liu knocked on the door of the study room and said, "Master, Miss, my uncle is here and waiting in the hall. He is here to take Miss back."
"Let him wait." Gao Taiwei was naturally angry. Although he did not choose this marriage, he was marrying her daughter after all, and she was his most beloved daughter. Thinking of her crying appearance last night
, his heart ached. His daughter, whom he could not bear to blame, was unhappy after marrying him. How could he still have a good temper?
"Dad -" Feng Lan couldn't bear to say, "Why did you ask Qi Yu to wait in the hall? We should go to the hall."
"You are still speaking for him. If it wasn't him who made you angry, how could you come back late at night?" Gao Taiwei was angry and said in a stiff tone.
"Why is he angry with me? I ran back secretly, and he doesn't even know." Feng Lan hurriedly explained, and suddenly realized that it was impossible for him to know that she was in the Taiwei Mansion so quickly, and it was impossible for him to pick her up in person.
She went back and looked up at Lieutenant Gao. Suddenly she saw his eyes dodge a little. She raised her voice and shouted, "Dad?"
Under her gaze, Captain Gao finally said, "Okay, I admit that I was the one who informed him to come over."
Feng Lan glanced at him, took his arm, and walked towards the hall. Along the way, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She understood him, and at this moment, he must be angry in his heart.
When he walked to the hall, Qi Yu was holding a cup of hot tea. The misty mist covered the emotions in his eyes. When he saw them coming, he took a sip of tea before getting up.
"Qi Yu..."
Feng Lan called him in a low voice. The calmer he was, the more Feng Lan knew that the fire in his heart was getting bigger.
He just glanced at her lightly and then looked at Captain Gao, "Father-in-law, I am here today to take Feng Lan back."
"I want to keep her in the house to eat before leaving, and you can also eat here." Gao Taiwei said coldly.
Qi Yu nodded, walked to his previous seat and sat down, holding the tea in front of him again. Feng Lan carefully looked at the expression on his face, which was as calm as a lake. She was a little surprised, in her understanding
, he should refuse to stay in the house to eat.
There was still some time before lunch, and Gao Taiwei and Qi Yu were sitting in the yard playing a game of chess. Feng Lan just stood next to Gao Taiwei, because this way he could see Qi Yu more clearly.
From playing chess to lunch time, he never raised his head to look at her. Feng Lan felt a little annoyed. Why did he come to pick her up if he didn't want to see her.
"Dad, haven't you been feeling poorly lately? I want to stay at home with you for a few more days, Qi Yu, what do you think?" Feng Lan raised her eyes and stared at Qi Yu, wanting to see his reaction.
However, the corner of his mouth turned into an imperceptible smile, "Since you want to stay for a few days, then stay. Father-in-law, I have some important things to deal with, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
Lieutenant Gao sat at the dinner table and looked at his daughter, "Lan'er, you..."
"Dad, please eat slowly. My daughter has no appetite. Let's go back to the room to rest." After saying that, Feng Lan also got up and walked to the room.
Captain Gao glanced at Qi Yu's leaving figure, then at his daughter's back, and stood up. Butler Liu immediately came to greet him, "Master, aren't you going to eat?"
"If I don't have an appetite to eat alone, I won't eat either."
In Prince Feng's Mansion, Yanyan was sitting in the yard. Gu Rui carried the food back and forth several times, but Yanyan had no appetite. Lin Xin sat aside and looked at her. Her face was still a little pale, but compared to her appearance last night, she looked better.
A lot.
"Yanyan, please eat some food. If this continues, how will your illness be cured?"
"I can't eat now, I'll eat later." Yan Yan smiled softly, looking up at the sky, the dazzling sunlight burning her eyes. Suddenly a hand covered her sight, and a soft voice came, "
Looking at the sun like this is not good for your eyes."
Yanyan lowered his head and closed it for a while, then opened his eyes, looked at Qi Yi sitting beside him, and said softly: "I'm just looking for a while, it won't hurt my eyes too much."
"Qi Yi, did you just come back from the military camp?" Lin Xin looked at Qi Yi, knowing that he had gone out early in the morning, so he guessed that he had gone to the military camp.
Qi Yi was about to answer when he saw Gu Rui coming over with food, turned to look at Yan Yan and asked, "Have you not eaten yet?"
"Yes, Mr. Qi, please advise Fujin. Fujin hasn't eaten anything since he got up in the morning." Gu Rui said anxiously from the side.
"Xiao Rui!" Yan Yan interrupted her in a low voice and turned to look at her, "I told you that when I want to eat, I will ask you to bring it to me. Please take all these away quickly."
"Wait a minute." Qi Yi called out to Gu Rui who turned around, looked at Yan Yan, and said: "Yan Yan, if you want to prevent Qi Feng from worrying about you when you see him, you should make yourself in better health.
"
"What did you say? What do you mean?" Yan Yan grabbed Qi Yi's sleeve excitedly.
"You eat first. I'll tell you after you finish eating." Qi Yi stood up and put all the food in Gu Rui's hands on the table. He checked the temperature of the porcelain bowl with the back of his hand before passing the food to her.
