"Don't be afraid. Since I didn't tell the secret three years ago, I won't tell it now."
Tears rolled down, bewildering the woman's lonely eyes.
Hearing Zhang Dafu say again: "Lian'er, please forgive me, okay?"
"..."
"In the past few years, I have watched my mother arrange marriage arrangements for you even though I knew clearly that you had someone in mind. In fact, I had selfish motives!"
Originally, he thought that the person he couldn't get would just be invisible. As long as he married Lian'er far away so that he could never see her again, he wouldn't be sad.
But……
After all, he still couldn't be cruel.
The day before yesterday, when he saw his mother personally accepting Old Man Jiang's betrothal gift, he was heartbroken. Finally, after enduring it, he couldn't help but send Bai Guangyao a letter of help in the name of Zhang Lian.
This morning, seeing the fight between the Jiang family and Bai Guangyao's people, he was very, very happy in his heart.
He was about to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Zhang Lian'er, but unexpectedly, Zhang Lian'er didn't see his hint and ran to two strangers for help.
Zhang Dafu didn't expect the subsequent outcome, but it was really unsettling that the Holy Father asked his most trusted father-in-law to personally send Lian'er back.
Zhang Dafu was worried that Zhang Lian'er would end up in that golden cage...
Zhang Lian'er shook his head gently, "Brother, don't say it!"
Don't tell her those words!
There are some things that are fine if both of you know each other well, but if you say them out loud, it will only make people feel embarrassed.
It's not that Zhang Lian'er doesn't understand Zhang Dafu's affection for her, but...
She just said that asking him to marry her was just an impulse, but as soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it.
She can't hurt Zhang Dafu! Just because everyone who has suffered it knows the pain of love.
"Lian'er, let me take you away! Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you!"
Zhang Dafu looked at Zhang Lian'er's tear-stained face with distress, watched her stubbornly wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and shook her head pretending to be strong.
"Brother, I know all your good intentions, but... we can't leave!"
She didn't leave because she couldn't harm Zhang Dafu. After all, he was known as a filial son.
"Lian'er, if you don't leave, what will happen if your mother forces you to get married again?"
Zhang Dafu frowned, deeply regretting his previous hesitation!
If he had made up his mind to take her away earlier, she wouldn't be so sad now.
Zhang Lian'er forced a smile: "Don't worry, my mother won't force me to get married in a short time."
"Lian'er..."
"Brother, I'm tired, you should rest early!"
Zhang Lian'er stood up slowly. Because he was too excited just now and had been squatting for a long time, he didn't stand up together. His legs suddenly became numb.
It was as if thousands of ants appeared out of nowhere to eat at the soles of her feet. She subconsciously held on to the door on the side, her face pale.
"Lian'er, what's wrong with you?"
"My foot is cramped, it's okay, brother, it'll be fine after just standing for a while!"
Zhang Lian'er shook her head bitterly. She hadn't eaten anything all day, and after being overly sad, her whole body seemed to have a headache and lightheadedness.
"It's better for me to carry you back to your room!"
In the corner, Chen Xi, who quietly watched the interaction between the brother and sister, frowned slightly.
She was certain that there was an unusual relationship between Zhang Lian'er and Leng Wuyan.
but……
Zhang Lian'er is obviously hiding herself!
Such a girl who is always vigilant is unwilling to use spiritual power to clear her meridians even when her legs are cramped. This shows how reluctant she is to let others discover her past.
In this case, how should she send her back to Leng Wuyan?
Chen Xi flicked his chin with one hand, thinking...
Suddenly, there was a cold breath behind her, as if a cold current appeared out of thin air, causing goosebumps all over her body.
Looking back, it turned out to be the Iceberg Emperor Leng Wuyan.
"Your Majesty? Why are you here?"
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and cast a playful gaze on Leng Wuyan, only to see that Leng Wuyan's eyes were firmly fixed on the woman being carried by her brother.
There was a faint dark light of displeasure dancing in his scorching eyes.
Chen Xi's eyes suddenly lit up - oh haha, looking at this kid's expression, it was obvious that he didn't suspect Zhang Lian'er's abnormality at all.
With a roll of her eyes, she also looked at the two intimate figures from behind and said deliberately: "Haha, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is really good!"
Leng Wuyan: "..."
Chen Xi felt the temperature behind her drop again. She pursed her lips evilly and said, "Well, actually, we shouldn't say they are brother and sister. After all, the two of them have no blood relationship at all! Oh, by the way, I thought I heard just now
They are getting married, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. Holy lord, did you just hear that?”
"..." Leng Wuyan's face turned dark again.
Under his sleeves, his fists were clenched tightly.
Maybe he himself didn't realize how rigid the expression on his face was at this moment, but Chen Xi knew that the stiffer the iceberg man's expression was, it showed how unhappy he was deep down.
This is a good sign, isn't it?
She gave Leng Wuyan a meaningful look, turned around, and was about to leave, but Leng Wuyan suddenly said: "I will take you back."
"Ah? Are you sure you don't want to follow me and have a look? It's a quiet night and you're alone. Are you... at ease?"
Chen Xi teased with a smile and pointed his slender fingers in the direction of the big fortune.
As she expected, Leng Wuyan's eyes darkened, but after two seconds of silence, he said: "Yueya'er, you think too much!"
He decisively withdrew his gaze and fell on Chen Xi's naughty smiling face. For some reason, he felt more and more strange that the woman in front of him was so strange.
It was so unfamiliar that it was as if there was a ravine across the two of them, and all he could see was a blurry shadow.
Chen Xi looked at his cold and stubborn eyes, and really wanted to slap him on the forehead to wake him up - idiot, why don't you just follow your heart?
Maybe even he himself didn't know that as early as the moment Zhang Lian'er appeared, his heart had changed direction.
"Oh, idiot!"
Chen Xi shook his head in his heart, and before Leng Wuyan could react, she blinked and disappeared without a trace.
Is he a fool?
Leng Wuyan, who was left on the spot, stared blankly at the direction Chen Xi left.
The early summer wind gently picked up his three thousand trouble threads, and a few strands playfully slapped his cold face.
He frowned: He didn't understand what Chen Xi's helpless look meant when he said this.
I don't even understand why he came here tonight under mysterious circumstances.
He asked himself: That was just a woman whose eyes were somewhat similar to Yue Ya'er's. Why did her shadow always appear in front of him inadvertently after that sudden glimpse today?
Obviously, she is not the person Black Gu asserted...
