There was no expression on Qi Zi's face, and Ling Shiqi couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.
Qi Zi turned her head away. She thought about how Zhao Yunniang turned around and heard the sound of her heart breaking when she played the piano that night. Although the man in front of her was good, he was destined to belong to someone else. Even if he expressed how he liked and loved herself at the moment, it would still be useless.
It was in vain. First, she had not gotten over the betrayal that Liu Zhongwen had given her, and she was still in pain when she thought about it occasionally. Second, she did not want to see Zhao Yunniang's sad eyes, which looked too much like her own, and she did not want that kind girl to let go.
Repeating her own path, she tasted the same pain. Furthermore, subconsciously, there seemed to be a voice that was constantly tugging at a heartstring in her heart. Every time she wanted to see through it, every time she wanted to catch it, that voice was always easy.
It slipped from her hand, leaving her confused and unsure of what to do.
Facing Qi Zi's troubled look, Ling Shiqi said: "Miss Yang, I know what I just said was a bit abrupt, but I mean it sincerely. I hope you can give me this opportunity. I can give you some time to think about it. I can wait.
No matter how long I wait, I will wait."
Qi Zi looked directly at Ling Shiqi, and the look in his eyes when he confessed looked very much like someone else. Qi Zi didn't want to say anything now, because anything she said was unintentional, so she could only gesture and say: "Go back."
Ling Shiqi nodded and started walking. Two long shadows walked silently on the street.
Speechless all the way, he finally came back to the door of Ling's Mansion. He was about to call the door when Ling Nian opened the door and ran out and said: "Master, you are back. The old lady is back. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I haven't seen you yet."
Come back, I was sent to find you."
"Mom is back, where is she? Take me there quickly." Ling Shiqi changed from a calm expression to a happy child, and followed Ling Nian as he strode ahead, and Qi Zi followed silently.
"In the madam's room, the second young master has also returned, and the third lady and cousin are also there." Ling Nian said as he walked.
After turning around the corridor and arriving at the old lady's room, Ling Shiqi hurriedly shouted: "Mom, you are back."
Qi Zi followed in and saw a noble old woman sitting at the table. Her silk hair was not messy, she was full of energy, her face was red, and she looked at Ling Shiqi with a smile.
"Qier, where are you going? Mom has been back for a long time." She said with a smile and a hint of reproach.
"Mom, why didn't you send me a notification before you came back so that the child could pick you up?" Ling Shiqi sat down and said.
Ling's mother Liu smiled and said: "Forget it, we have to come back anyway, there is nothing to announce." While speaking, she saw Qi Zi and asked: "Who is this...?"
Ling Shiqi stood up and pulled Qi Zi to Mrs. Liu and said, "Mom, let me introduce you. This is Miss Yang Qi Zi."
Qi Zi stepped forward, gave a gift, and faced the old mother with a smile.
Ms. Liu looked at her in surprise and said, "Girl?"
"Mother doesn't know. My son took her out to do something today, so I let her dress up like this for convenience."
"Oh, that's it." Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Where is Miss Yang from?"
Before Qi Zi could respond, Ling Lizhen interrupted: "Mom, she is mute and can't speak."
"Lizhen, why are you talking?" Mrs. Liu scolded, and then said to Qi Zi: "Miss Yang, I didn't know you were mute, so I'm offended."
Qi Zi smiled and shook his head and said, "I won't mind."
At this time, a pair of lustful eyes were staring at Qi Zi, and Ling Shiqi shouted angrily: "Shijun, are you willing to come back?"
Ling Shijun came out from behind Zhao Yunniang and said with a smile: "Brother, look at what you said, this is my home, can I not come back?"
"Why, you haven't come back for a long time?" Mrs. Liu asked Ling Shijun.
He quickly said: "Mom, I just went out with my friends for two days and stayed for a few nights."
"Qier, is that so?"
"Mom, Shijun is right, he just went out for a few nights." Ling Shiqi suppressed the anger in his heart and came to the rescue for him. He thought: his mother had worked hard all the way and there was no need to hurt her body for such a trivial matter.
"Oh, that's okay." Mrs. Liu relaxed, and suddenly a look of joy appeared on her face. She pulled Zhao Yunniang and said to Ling Shiqi: "Qier, this time I went to stay with your aunt for two months and had sex with your aunt and uncle.
A decision.”
"Decision?" Ling Shiqi asked with a smile: "What decision?"
Mrs. Liu said cheerfully: "You and Yun Niang are childhood sweethearts, so we decided to choose an auspicious day to get married to Yun Niang."
Zhao Yunniang suddenly turned red with embarrassment,
"What?" Ling Shiqi asked in shock. He turned around and looked at Qi Zi, then at Mrs. Liu and said, "Mom, are you too impatient?"
Qi Zi quietly exited the room, feeling that this was a family matter and it was not convenient for her as an outsider to be present.
"Anxious? How could it be? It's time for you to get married, and Yun Niang is not young anymore. I think it would save me a lot of worry if we get married sooner. Besides, your aunt and uncle and I both want to have grandchildren soon.
."
"But mother, I..." Ling Shiqi was speechless. He could wait, but Yun Niang couldn't wait.
From the moment Ling Shiqi exclaimed "What", Zhao Yunniang noticed that he had a troubled look on his face. At this time, he said he was impatient, which was obviously a push-over. She said with tears in her eyes: "Second aunt, my cousin doesn't like me, so don't force yourself to do anything."
That's it." After saying that, he rushed out of the house without looking back.
"What...what's going on?" Ms. Liu asked everyone present in surprise, but no one could give her an answer.
Ling Shiqi looked at Zhao Yunniang's leaving figure and immediately noticed that there was no one in the room. He looked for it, and Ling Shijun came out and said, "Brother, stop looking. Miss Yang has gone out already?"
Ling Shiqi also turned around and ran out. Mrs. Liu asked again: "What's going on?" But this time she found the answer: "Could it be..."
She looked at Ling Shijun, wanting to know from her what happened in the house after she left, but Ling Shijun spread his hands and shrugged, saying: "Mom, don't ask me, I don't know, you can ask Sanmei, she is always
You must know what happened at home."
She looked at Ling Lizhen again, and Ling Lizhen nodded and talked to her...
Qi Zi's quiet departure left Ling Shiqi unable to find his direction and kept asking himself: Why did she leave? Was she sad to hear that she was going to marry her cousin? Or was it because she felt that it had nothing to do with her, and she was
It was unnecessary to stay there. When he came to Qi Zi's door, he took a breath and knocked on the door.
Qi Zi opened the door and saw Ling Shiqi outside the house. As usual, she smiled back. In her opinion, nothing had changed. But Ling Shiqi felt that it had changed. Everything had changed. The same smile indicated that Qi Zi had not changed at all.
Taking his words to heart, she faced him as if nothing had happened. Ling Shiqi forced a smile and said, "Go to rest early." After saying that, she turned around and left in despair.
