Royal stood outside the garden, looking at her from a distance. The sunlight fell on her face and brightened her features, but he couldn't tell what she was thinking.
She no longer wore the princess dress and returned to her light and fairy-like dressing style. She looked a little thin standing there.
Luo Ya'er slowly walked over and got close to Gu Xiaoai. Her eyes fell on the pile of flower branches under Gu Xiaoai's knees, her eyes moved, "Don't you feel pain?"
"Have you thought about it?"
Gu Xiaoai asked her at the same time.
Royal's eyes suddenly dimmed, and there was hesitation and confusion on the young face, "I don't know."
Gu Xiaoai lowered her eyes, and Luo Yaer stood in front of her, her light white dress fluttering in the wind, "I love Juefeng very much, and I want to stay by his side to take care of him. I don't know if I break off the engagement on my own initiative.
, what else can I do in the future, and where else can I go..."
"..."
Gu Xiaoai knelt on the flower branch and looked at her silently.
Luo Yaer seemed a little helpless. She grew up in this system of choosing a wife, and the education she was instilled has never escaped from this framework.
She is different from Suzuki Nana. As she said, Suzuki Nana is too assertive, but she... is too indifferent.
"I'll think about it again."
Royal's eyes dimmed and she left the garden.
Unknowingly, Royal Yaer walked through the deep corridor in the castle and walked outside the solitary room. There were many bodyguards standing outside the solitary room, and no one was allowed to go in and take a look at Li Juefeng.
Royal stood by the wall, looking at the closed door not far away.
She has taken care of him for two years and is used to it...
I am used to arranging everything in life for him so that he can have the most comfortable and suitable life...
She knew clearly that the woman Li Juefeng loved was not her, but she still couldn't make a decision. She hadn't asked Li Juefeng yet, are you really unwilling to marry me?
Royal looked at the door, her eyes wet with tears. She picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number. Royal's voice was choked, "Should I leave?"
*************************
After kneeling until the afternoon, Gu Xiaoai was already tired, her stomach was empty, her eyelids were drooped, and she was drowsy.
Servants and patrolling bodyguards passed by, and they all cast strange looks.
There were no bodyguards watching her, but she still knelt resolutely alone...
The sun fell on the entire Li family's huge manor, and the manor was solemn and mysterious in its tranquility. The trees towered into the clouds, and the flowers gathered into the sea, embellishing the colors of the manor.
A certain room in the castle——
An old hand slowly opened the curtain and looked down. From a long distance, he could only see Gu Xiaoai's figure kneeling among the flowers. The expression on her face was invisible, and her figure was slightly swaying.
"How long?"
Mr. Li stood in front of the window and asked coldly, leaning on a cane, his eyes showing a depth that no one could understand.
"It's been eight hours."
The old servant on the side replied respectfully, Gu Xiaoai had been kneeling down since early morning, and it had been eight hours now, and she hadn't even drunk a drop of water in eight hours.
…
Eight hours.
With her body shape, she couldn't last three days...
Do not overestimate your own capabilities.
Looking at that slender figure, Mr. Li's vision became unfocused, and the hand holding the cane began to tremble involuntarily.
"Old Li, medicine."
Seeing this, the old servant quickly picked up the medicine and a glass of water and walked towards him, serving him carefully.
Old Li picked up a few white pills with trembling hands and put them into his mouth, swallowed them with water, and said in a tone of old age, "How long do I have left?"
