Mrs. Zheng had no doubt that he was there and agreed with a smile.
Ye Qinglan felt that something was wrong. She knew Ye Qingning too well. Her smile was erratic and her eyes were uncertain. She was clearly hiding something...
However, in front of Mrs. Zheng, she would never expose this layer. Instead, she followed Ye Qingning's words and said: "That's fine, since you got married, I haven't been to Huancui Pavilion for a long time. I just happened to be with you today.
Let Sixth Sister go and talk."
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but warned: "Don't chat for too long, you have to go back before dark."
Ye Qingning responded with a smile, took Ye Qinglan's hand and left Luomei Courtyard, and then walked towards Huancui Pavilion.
The snow had stopped, and the air was crisp and clean. Walking on the snow, there was a crunching sound. The two walked hand in hand, smiling and whispering from time to time. The feeling of intimacy before was back.
After entering Huancui Pavilion, Ye Qingning suddenly paused in his steps and looked at Ye Qinglan but hesitated to speak.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Sixth sister, if there is anything else we two cannot say directly, please stop hesitating."
Ye Qingning coughed: "Then I'll tell you the truth. In fact, there is another person who came with us and is waiting for you inside."
Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes: "Is Meng Zijun here too?" Although it was a question, her tone was very sure.
Ye Qingning gave a bitter smile and sighed: "He insisted on coming, but I couldn't persuade him. Besides, I thought he was quite pitiful. That's why I brought him to see you. Don't let Cousin Gu know about this.
, otherwise he will be angry!" At this point, he hesitated again: "Otherwise, you'd better not see him. It would be bad if word gets out. If you have anything to say, I'll tell him for you..."
"You're here, it doesn't matter if you meet me." Ye Qinglan smiled, but her eyes were a little subtle and complicated: "Cousin Gu won't be so fussy about just saying a few words."
Ye Qingning's heart moved slightly. Ye Qinglan seemed to be really different from Meng Zijun! At such a critical and sensitive time, she was willing to see him without hesitation...
In the room, Zheng Junyan was advising Meng Zijun in a low voice: "... Once we are engaged, the tenth sister will be a member of Duke Dingguo's palace. Why do you worry about it anymore? Seeing her for the last time this time can be regarded as a complete change in your mind.
.Don’t think about her anymore!”
Meng Zijun did not refute or say anything. Zheng Junyan's sincere words of comfort obviously failed to move him.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Junyan became a little anxious: "Why are you so stubborn? Did you listen to what I just said?"
Meng Zijun nodded sharply: "I heard it." Hearing and listening are obviously two different things.
Zheng Junyan rolled his eyes at him angrily: "In short, I have said everything I should say. If you continue to persist in your stubbornness, don't blame me for not reminding you when you are sad and suffer in the future."
Meng Zijun smiled to himself: "Don't wait for the future, I feel very uncomfortable now." Is there anything more sad than watching your sweetheart get engaged to another man?
Zheng Junyan: "..."
At this moment, light and familiar footsteps sounded.
Meng Zijun stood up, turned around, and met Ye Qinglan's eyes. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan knowingly withdrew. They closed the door and stood guard at the door. Ye Qingning whispered a little uneasily: "I really don't know if what I did today was right..."
Zheng Junyan held her slightly cold hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, if you don't tell me about this and I don't, Cousin Gu won't know."
Ye Qingning sighed softly and nestled her head on Zheng Junyan's shoulder. Zheng Junyan naturally stretched out his hand to hold her slender waist, and said with a low smile: "Okay, you don't have to worry about them two. Everything will be fine.
.”
…
The two people in the room looked at each other wordlessly for a long time. Ye Qinglan finally opened her mouth to break the silence: "Zijun, I'm sorry."
This apology made Meng Zijun feel extremely bitter: "Qinglan, you know the last thing I want to hear from you is this apology." What I want is your wholehearted love.
Seeing the pained expression on the energetic, handsome and smiling young man, Ye Qinglan felt so heavy that she couldn't breathe. She took a deep breath and said, "Zijun, what happened in the past is in the past. We are still friends, but we can only be friends.
Friends."
Meng Zijun tightened his lips, and his handsome face turned pale: "Qinglan, I am not willing to accept it. We are obviously the most suitable couple. You accepted my rose at that time and are already my girlfriend. If not
In that accident, the two of us were married long ago. In this life, I showed up too late, and you had another man in your heart. I have no complaints about this. But why didn't you even give me a chance?" It has been deep.
The words hidden deep in my heart finally poured out.
The words have reached this point, and there is no need to cover up or be subtle. Ye Qinglan simply tells the truth: "Zijun, this world is completely different from our previous world. Especially the requirements for women are even more stringent. In the past, actions that were taken for granted were taken for granted.
, it is simply impossible now. How do you ask me to give you a chance? Should I date you while being good with him? Or should I just dump him and be with you? What will others think of me? What should I do?
How can we continue to live here?”
Meng Zijun was speechless when he was cross-examined.
Yes, this is not the world he is familiar with. Since they have come here, they must follow the rules of life of this world...
"Zijun, I'm sorry for you." Ye Qinglan looked at Meng Zijun's handsome and haggard face and sighed softly: "I didn't wait for you and fell in love with another man. But now it's like this, I have failed you.
, I can’t be sorry to him anymore. Please forgive me, this is the last time I see you alone. Please forget about me from now on!”
"No, I can't forget you, and I don't want to forget you!" Meng Zijun was heartbroken and his voice was trembling: "I will always wait for you to change your mind. Sooner or later, you will understand that the two of us are the most suitable couple.
.”
Seeing that he was still so stubborn, Ye Qinglan could only say cruelly: "The decree of marriage has been issued. At most, we will get married when I get married. Don't wait, it is no longer possible between us."
…
Meng Zijun took a breath, and after a long while he squeezed out a sentence: "Qinglan, how can you be so calm and so cruel!"
Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "Actually, I have always been like this. You didn't understand me before."
This sentence is a bit cruel, but it is true. Although Meng Zijun had a lot of contact with her in her previous life and had some understanding of her temperament, her true temperament had not yet been fully revealed to him.
She is calm and rational by nature, and as long as she makes up her mind about something, she will never regret it easily. In the days when she first met Meng Zijun, she did have conflicts and struggles. But from the moment she made the decision, she
She decided to leave the past behind completely. Therefore, even if she felt guilty, she would not waver in the slightest.
Ye Qinglan stared at Meng Zijun, her voice was low and soft: "If you can let go of the past between us, then we will still be good friends. If you can't let go, then we should rarely see each other from now on!"
"What do you mean by this?" Meng Zijun finally couldn't bear it anymore and vented all his unwillingness and resentment: "For Gu Xinian, do you even want me as a friend?"
Ye Qinglan responded heartily: "He is my future husband, the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. You are my best friend. In my heart, you two are completely different and should not be compared."
Meng Zijun fell silent with a pale and handsome face.
There was a knock on the door suddenly, and then, Ye Qingning opened the door and walked in, pretending not to notice the condensed and subtle atmosphere in the room: "It's getting late, we should go back home. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to get back before dark.
It’s home.”
Meng Zijun hummed, looked at Ye Qinglan deeply, then turned and left, his back stiff but still straight.
Ye Qingning asked in a worried voice: "Ten sister, is Cousin Meng okay?"
Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly and responded in a low voice: "He must be in a bad mood. Let my brother-in-law enlighten and comfort him when he has time."
…
Ye Qingning didn't ask any more questions, said softly, and said goodbye to Ye Qinglan. It was already approaching evening, and if he didn't rush back, he would really miss the New Year's Eve dinner at Duke Zheng's Mansion.
Ye Qinglan gave a few people a ride, and after watching the three of them ride away with her own eyes, the smile that she had been holding on to as if nothing had happened faded away.
Meng Zijun must hate her very much now! She rejected him so cold-bloodedly and heartlessly, he should be able to truly forget her from now on...
It is one thing to make a decision calmly and rationally, but this does not mean that the guilt in her heart will be reduced. However, she knows that only doing this is the best for Meng Zijun. She already has a man she really likes.
If he continues to be vaguely ambiguous towards Meng Zijun, it will only make him unable to let go.
If he can't bear to be cruel, let her do it!
She would rather he hate her in the future than have him miss her all the time.
Tonight, the New Year's Eve dinner in Changyuan Uncle's Mansion was very lively and festive. Because they had just received Feng Zhi in the afternoon, everyone was in high spirits. Especially Ye Chengli, the smile on his face never stopped.
Ye Qinglan is naturally the center of attention.
Ye Qinglan quickly put away her chaotic emotions and put on a decent smile. Her face almost froze with laughter all night long. No one noticed the sadness and sadness hidden under that gentle and pleasant smile.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone gathered in the open space in front of Changhe Hall. The brave and experienced boys set off fireworks. Amidst the brilliant fireworks, everyone had a cheerful smile on their face.
Such a noisy atmosphere did not affect Ye Qinglan.
She stood there quietly, her figure a bit lonely. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
