"My lord, Honglei thought that I had made it clear to you a long time ago, but looking at it now, it seems that is not the case." Xi Honglei was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and looked at Ran Yunpo with complicated eyes.
He said softly: "I don't need to do that thankless thing, because I already know very well that there will be no results between me and the prince. I don't want the prince to think that I want to sow discord.
Therefore, I will not make any statement on this matter. I just promise to the prince that I will never get close to Miss Shui Rongyan again, and I will never have any delusions about you or stalk you."
Xi Honglei's words made Ran Yunpo frown. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but when he heard Xi Honglei say that he had completely given up on himself, he would no longer stalk and disagree with him.
When there was any result, his heart suddenly felt empty.
Ran Yunpo, who had been chased by Xi Honglei every day in the past, didn't understand how Xi Honglei figured out how to give up on himself. But the feeling of disappearing all of a sudden when it belonged to him was really
This made Ran Yunpo feel a little uncomfortable.
Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei thoughtfully for a while, and then whispered: "Tell me what you think about this matter."
"Hong Lei dared to ask the prince, why did he fall in love with Miss Shui Rong Yan in the first place, and why did he have to be with her?" Xi Hong Lei saw that Ran Yun Po was not angry, and secretly felt happy in her heart. Looking at Ran Yun Po with a solemn expression, Xi Hong Lei asked.
Said: "Is it because Miss Shui is gentle? Obedient? Or is it because she never mentioned to you the matter of wanting status?"
Ran Yunpo lowered his eyes and began to think deeply. The scene in his mind suddenly turned to the scene when he first met Shui Rongyan.
What was the reason that attracted him? Shui Rongyan's superb piano skills? Or her soft expression that always listened to him with a smile and never interrupted? Is it her ability to always make herself feel at ease?
, or did she really never mention that she wanted an identity?
"My lord, I think you should talk to Miss Shui about this matter. Because every woman is a greedy animal. After getting what she originally wanted, she will naturally want more.
And after a woman truly falls in love with a man, she will want to marry him and have children for him. Maybe Miss Shui has not said these words to you, but Honglei tells you that there are no exceptions to this truth. If this child
If she really insists on giving birth, the prince will not know what will happen to the emperor. If she really angers the emperor, then..."
Xi Honglei gave a meaningful wry smile, then shook her head and did not continue talking. Because she knew in her heart that these few words of hers had caused waves in Ran Yunpo's heart.
Ran Yunpo stood up and walked silently towards the door of the room. When he reached the door and was about to open it, Ran Yunpo suddenly stopped, looked back at Xi Honglei, and asked unexpectedly: "Since women are greedy
,Then how did you give up on me?"
Xi Honglei did not expect that Ran Yunpo would ask such a question, and his expression suddenly became stunned, and he was stunned. His mind was a little confused, Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo seriously, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Because Honglei has already personally
I have experienced what it is like to persevere with my life but still not get it."
Ran Yunpo's probing eyes stayed on Xi Honglei's face for a long time before he slowly walked out of the room. Xi Honglei watched Ran Yunpo leave. After confirming that Ran Yunpo had left, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
He sighed heavily and wiped his sweaty forehead with tears. Once again, he realized that talking to a man with such a strong aura as Ran Yunpo was really tiring. However, looking at Ran Yunpo's expression when he just left,
Xi Honglei could imagine what kind of conflicts Shui Rongyan would have with Ran Yunpo this time. Because Ran Yunpo liked smart women, but she was definitely not a woman who would use her smartness on himself.
Xi Honglei stretched out with a smile on her face, half-lying comfortably in the soft body. It was not until the evening when Xi Yuanshan came to find her that Xi Honglei once again switched from a leisurely and contented state.
He looked nervous and cautious.
Xi Honglei's performance in recent days is undoubtedly very outstanding and attracts attention in Xi Mansion. Princess Yun Shang and Prince Chu came one after another to find out about Xi Honglei, making everyone crazy about this person who was just a while ago.
The silly lady looked at her with admiration. Even Xi Yuanshan, the father, was a little confused about what method Xi Honglei used to make Prince Chu change his previous attitude towards her.
Xi Honglei took Xi Yuanshan's arm and left Xi Mansion, and began her first shop tour. Following Xi Yuanshan, she walked into one store after another. Xi Honglei sighed secretly in her heart,
When the Xi family's property was really not that big, she suddenly saw a strange yet familiar figure.
It was the woman who accompanied Mu Yunmeng that day...
Xi Honglei looked at the woman selecting silk fabrics in her shop with a dazed expression, but she did not expect that when the woman realized that she did not remember who she was, she suddenly smiled, walked to her side, and said softly
: "How about this girl help me pick out a piece of silk?"
"Me?" Xi Honglei asked in surprise. After seeing the woman nodding in affirmation, Xi Honglei let go of Xi Yuanshan's arm, then walked around the store, and finally picked up two horses.
Silk Satin walked back to the woman and said, "I think these two pieces of fabric are more suitable for you."
The woman took a look at the silk satin in Xi Honglei's hand with great interest. One was a silk satin with a goose yellow background and gorgeous patterns woven with silk threads. The other was pure white brocade.
The woman raised her eyebrows, nodded, and asked, "Can I ask, why did you choose these two?"
"The goose-yellow fabric can better highlight the fair complexion of the girl, and the pattern on it can make the color of the clothes look different. The girl will look good in it. As for the white satin, it is more suitable for men with outstanding temperament.
."
"How did you know I wanted to buy it for a man?" This is what women are most curious about.
"Because I have just been observing you, girl, and I saw that in addition to choosing the satin that suits you, your eyes also stayed on a few pieces of satin that are more suitable for men, and the colors are lighter. Generally speaking, they can be worn well.
Men wearing light-colored clothes must have outstanding temperament, and the color that can best sublimate a person's temperament to the extreme is white. So I boldly chose these two pieces of fabric for you, girl. I wonder if you can
like?"
Xi Honglei's words made the woman laugh happily immediately. She patted Xi Honglei's shoulder. After paying for the two pieces of silk, the woman walked back to Xi Honglei and said:
He said, "I hope we can meet again in the future."
After sending the woman away, Xi Honglei noticed that Xi Yuanshan had been looking at him with a strange look. Xi Honglei returned to Xi Yuanshan and asked softly: "Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just didn't realize that my daughter had a talent for doing business before." Xi Yuanshan woke up from his meditation, smiled at Xi Honglei, and said, "That's it for today, let's go back."
Xi Honglei honestly and obediently accompanied Xi Yuanshan back to Xi Mansion. After dinner, he returned to his room. Xi Honglei remembered how Xi Hongbo, Xi Jiabao and Xi Hongmiao looked at him eagerly at the dinner table.
, I found it extremely funny. These three people are now in a state of silence, but Xihongtear clearly knows that they must hate themselves deeply. Because a "fool" took away the halo that originally belonged to them, and
Xiyuanshan's partiality is absolutely unforgivable to them. They are just the calm before the storm now, and within half a month, it will definitely explode against them.
After a good sleep, I woke up early the next morning. I didn't have to rush to Shui Rongyan to report Xi Honglei. I had a leisurely breakfast and was taken out of Xi Mansion by Ran Yunshang who came in a hurry.
Following Ran Yunshang to Mu Yunmeng's residence, Xi Honglei never had the courage to ask Ran Yunshang if she was not afraid of Ran Yunpo being angry because she was so close to Mu Yunmeng?
He walked into the house and found Mu Yunmeng. When Xi Honglei saw the scrolls on Mu Yunmeng's desk, he was stunned.
"Hehe." Ran Yunshang raised a smile and smiled at Mu Yunmeng, holding back what Mu Yunmeng originally wanted to say. "I won't disturb your office. I just want to come and see you. I'm sitting here
Don't make any noise, just go about your business!"
Ran Yunshang was the first to express his attitude and sat down on a chair nearby, staring intently at Mu Yunmeng who was looking at the scroll.
Xi Honglei smiled helplessly, then walked to the table, and under Mu Yunmeng's complicated gaze, picked up a scroll and read it. As expected, it recorded the investigation process of the murder cases and some trivial matters.
After Xi Honglei looked at it carefully, she thought for a while, looked at Mu Yunmeng and asked, "Where is the body? Have you seen it?"
"Not yet." Mu Yunmeng shook his head, frowned at Xi Honglei and asked, "Do you have a clue?"
Mu Yunmeng's question made Ran Yunshang, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly stand up, rush to Xi Honglei's side, and stare at her silently. The gazes of the two siblings made Xi Honglei twitch in embarrassment.
At the corner of his mouth, he replied: "I'm just asking casually. Besides, if you really want to investigate this kind of murder case, generally speaking, you have to start with an autopsy..."
Mu Yunmeng suppressed the question that she wanted to ask Xi Honglei, how could a woman like her know such a thing. Standing up slowly, Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang, and said: "
