"There is still time, you can think about it slowly, there is no need to reject me in a hurry." Leng Lintian crossed his arms with one hand and his posture was elegant.
Ximen Longting clenched his fists: "Do you want to be beaten by me again until you can't get out of bed?"
Jing Jiaren grabbed his arm: "You all, stop arguing. Now is not the time to argue."
"Ximen and I must choose one. Let the beauty make the choice." Leng Lintian stared at Jing Jiaren, "This is related to her future happiness, and she must choose. Simon, what do you think?"
Ximen Longting: "..."
"If Jing Jia chooses you, I won't interfere."
Ximen Longting gritted his teeth: "Jing Jiaren, tell him - you don't choose him!"
"I--"
Before Jing Jiaren could answer, Leng Lintian cut it off slowly: "You don't have to tell me now, wait until that day when Dong Gong Ziche comes to take the people. Before that, I won't accept rejection."
Tomomiya Toru gave them a week to think about it...actually, it was to give them the last time to get together.
A week later, regardless of whether Ximen Longting agrees or not, the experiment must be carried out.
Jing Jiaren clenched her palms tightly, her nails digging into her flesh.
Leng Lintian is right, what Dong Gong Ziche wants now is power, and his ability is far from enough to deal with Master Dong Gong, otherwise he would not be able to stand still. He is conserving strength.
The power of the Leng family is indeed no less than that of Ximen. With his help and added strength, Dong Gong Ziche can achieve his goal, so there is no reason to disagree.
But Leng Lintian now refuses to accept her rejection and deliberately gives her time just to make her struggle.
To be honest, Jing Jiaren was very moved, people are selfish... Of course she wanted to protect Ximen Long Ting.
But she definitely didn't want to hurt Leng Lintian and let their happiness override Leng Lintian's sacrifice.
Ximen Longting does not need this kind of fulfillment: "Jing Jiaren, refuse him and say something!?"
Jing Jiaren held his hand comfortingly: "Didn't you listen to what he said and don't you accept my rejection now?"
"That's what he meant, you have your own judgment!"
"Yes, I do... I will reject him. Don't worry, my answer will definitely be to reject him on that day. But, Ximen Longting, I can't bear your going either."
Ximen Longting abruptly changed the subject: "What did he say that he can do what I can do? Who does he think he is? He thinks too highly of himself!"
"..."
"You actually don't have the most basic self-awareness compared to me!"
Leng Lintian smiled slightly again: "It's not a desperate situation until it reaches the final stage. My lady, I don't want to see you cry again."
Jing Jiaren bit her lower lip and watched him turn around and leave, as gracefully and calmly as before.
It's just that the unruly and unrestrained and cunning selfishness that he once had are gone.
Jing Jiaren would rather he go back to the Leng Lintian he was before!
Ximen Longting forcefully pulled Jing Jiaren's face back: "Don't look at it!"
Jing Jiaren burst into tears and smiled: "The Ximen President I like...is finally back."
Ximen Longting's pupils were redder than fire lotus, and his voice deepened a few degrees: "You like me but you still dislike me."
"Sometimes I love you very much...and sometimes I feel helpless towards you. But don't you know that love means when your character makes me unbearable, I will try my best to tolerate you in order to love you." Jing Jiaren
Hug his neck and kiss his lips gently, "Love is a kind of willing torture."
