Qiongying was silent, raised her eyes, and stared at him for a while. It was undeniable that Nangong Chen was also a rare man in the world. However, he once dared to break off the engagement to her. If she had not been hindered by her demeanor, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.
Nangong Chen was stunned. Her eyes were as straight and sharp as ever, dark and deep. When he looked at her, he felt that he had lost. Such eyes were too deep, as if he could understand everything.
"Qiongying, we have finished feeding, but the fish in the lake don't seem to like eating grapes very much." Qing Lan came back with an empty plate. Seeing the silence of several people, she thought that the conversation was probably over.
The corner of Jing Ao's mouth twitched again, nonsense! How could fish eat grapes? Only Qiong Ying could think of using grapes to feed fish, but you are so foolish to feed the fish.
"Forget it if you don't like it, you go back first." Qiongying said.
"You're not going back?" Qinglan looked at her doubtfully, haven't they finished talking yet? Then he wants to stay here, what if they make her angry?
"I'll go back later. It's getting late. You go back and take a nap." There was no room for objection in his tone.
"...Okay, you should go back earlier, I'll go back first." Qinglan reluctantly walked away, looking back every three steps.
Having finished talking about the business, Jing Ao looked at Qiong Ying, waiting for her reply.
"Is there anything else?" Qiong Ying asked as if he didn't mean to express his opinion.
"It's okay, let's take our leave first." Jing Ao felt bored and stood up to leave. After all he had to say, Qiong Ying remained indifferent. Whatever he said was in vain.
Nangong Chen gave her a complicated look, hesitated to speak, and finally stood up and left without saying anything.
"Slow down. Nangongchen stays." Qiongying said.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Nangong Chen stopped and looked at her in astonishment.
Is she calling him? Is she asking him to stay? In my memory, she doesn’t seem to have called his name, let alone said anything to him on her own initiative.
Jing Ao was also stunned. He glanced at Qiong Ying suspiciously, and then looked at Nangong Chen strangely. Then without lingering, he quickly caught up with Jing Hao who had walked away. He thought to himself, Chen, you better wish for yourself.
.
There were only two people left on the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The spring sun was melting, the gentle breeze was blowing, and the waves were sparkling.
Qiongying stood up and walked to the railing, seemingly admiring the scenery on the lake.
Nangong Chen was a little embarrassed and couldn't think of enjoying the scenery. What on earth was she going to say?
"Don't you have something to say?" Qiongying asked casually.
"..." Nangong Chen was speechless. It turned out that she was waiting for him to speak. He did have something to say, but how should he say it? Even if he said it, it would be in vain.
"Since I have nothing to say, I won't keep you here."
The implication is that you can leave.
"Can we continue the topic of the day?" Nangong Chen hesitated for a moment and said sadly.
"What day?" Qiongying frowned slightly, she didn't like to speak unclearly.
"It was in Yancheng, the day we met for the first time after six years." He wanted to explain the misunderstanding that day and clear the gap between him and her.
"Okay, tell me." She didn't remember much of what she said that day, so it didn't hurt to listen.
"I was too arbitrary and misunderstood you. As for me breaking off the engagement, I just didn't want to be bound by a political marriage. I didn't expect that person to be you. If I knew it was you, I would definitely not break off the engagement. Can you... forgive me?"
"You don't have to say that. If I don't forgive you, can you still talk to me here?" If she still spends money on such a trivial matter, wouldn't she lose her grace?
