Mu Wanting looked at him with clear and bright eyes. Under the moonlight, his handsome face was covered with a layer of silver light, and the blue eyes under the eyelashes shone with sparkling brilliance. There was no luxury in the flow.
Those rose-colored lips evoked a seductive smile, which was half frightening and half intoxicating. Her breath froze, and she felt the urge to kiss her, and her heartbeat accelerated wildly.
Tell him that she likes him too, or—?
She fell into confusion all of a sudden. What could she do if she told him? In the end, wouldn't they each return to their original point?
There was a hint of smile in Liancheng's radiant blue eyes. Even if she didn't say anything, he could find the answer from her expression. He held her hand a little tighter, hugged her into his arms and said: "
You know, sometimes a look or an action can speak louder than a thousand words, even if it's hard to speak, I can still feel it!"
Mu Wanting was panicking, her cheeks were burning red, but she struggled to avoid it this time, leaning on his chest obediently, secretly breathing in to calm down the nervousness in her heart, and whispered: "Liancheng Tai——!
!”
Liancheng looked at her rosy cheeks, put his fingers on her lips, and interrupted what she wanted to say, "You and I don't need to be so outspoken. I prefer you to call me by my name!"
His low and charming voice seemed to have magic power, causing ripples in Mu Wanting's heart. She pursed her lips and slightly raised them, gently pushed him away, turned around, lowered her head and sighed secretly:
"Liancheng, since you already know what I want, you should also know that I will not go to Lianyun Kingdom with you. This is the place where I was born and raised. There are people I love most and I can't let go."
They leave!"
Even though she likes him, she would never be able to do it if he wanted her to share a husband with another woman. Maybe she could do it in the past, but now, she can't.
Unconsciously, she had already been infected by the feelings between Long Chenyi and Mu Tianxue.
Love is private to oneself.
She doesn't want to catch a man who will never belong to her. That is equivalent to chasing a kite that can never be caught and will break away at any time.
She would rather live an ordinary and stable life than dress in gorgeous clothes and compete with other women for favor.
Liancheng held her shoulders, moved her body towards him, lowered his head and came close to her eyes, and said seriously: "As long as you like me too, everything else is not a problem! I will take care of it!"
Liancheng said, taking a jade pendant from his waist and putting it into Mu Wanting's hand, "This jade pendant has been on my body since I was a child and has never left my body. Now, I give it to you as a gift."
As a token of our love, when I return to the country and finish handling state affairs, I will come and marry you, okay?"
Mu Wanting glanced at the jade pendant in her hand, then raised her eyes to Liancheng, and said: "I can't accept such an important thing. I already understand your intention. Thank you for your love, but what I want is for the rest of my life."
If you can't give me a pair of people, don't give any promises or tokens!"
Liancheng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, as if a stone was pressing down on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe. He held Mu Wanting's hand tightly and frowned: "All the concubines in my house are given by my father.
, I can’t help myself, Ting’er, you are a considerate woman, you should understand me.”
Mu Wanting smiled bitterly, so because of his lack of freedom, she would become one of his many women?
"Prince Liancheng, you don't have to feel embarrassed. You have your great ambitions, your empire is thousands of miles away, and there is no shortage of considerate women around you!!"
She pulled her hand back hard, looked at him and said seriously: "You will never belong to me alone. You are like a kite that cannot be caught. If you can't get it, why don't I let go and leave?"
Feel free and at ease!"
After saying this, she returned the jade pendant in her hand to Liancheng, turned around and walked out of the forest.
"Ting'er" Liancheng glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and hurriedly chased after her, "I said, those women are just decorations. The only person I like is you. Isn't that enough?"
"That's enough. Being able to be liked by Prince Liancheng is already a blessing that Ting'er has cultivated over several lifetimes." Mu Wanting looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky and said calmly: "Sister Xue often said something in the past, in love everyone is
They are selfish and possessive.
So, I am also very selfish. Let me ask you, if you and I put ourselves in my shoes and look at the problem from another angle, what would you think?"
Liancheng frowned slightly. He had heard Mu Tianxue say this before.
"Have you ever truly fallen in love with someone? Do you know how possessive you feel when you fall in love with someone?"
At that time, he didn't know what it felt like to fall in love with someone, and he didn't know the so-called possessiveness when falling in love with someone, but now, he seems to understand a little bit.
If he were to put himself in Mu Wanting's shoes, he wouldn't dare imagine her being in the arms of another man day and night.
Now, whenever he thinks about the possibility that she might become someone else's wife when he returns to China this time, his heart aches, and he feels depressed and uncomfortable. It feels like a thousand pounds of stone is weighing on his heart, making him angry and blocked.
He knew that nothing he said now would move her heart. She looked gentle and delicate on the surface, but her heart was not as fragile as it appeared. It was like a piece of jade, smooth and gentle on the surface but tough on the inside.
"His Royal Highness, the horses are ready and can set off immediately."
At this time, a black shadow flashed behind Liancheng like a gust of wind and said respectfully.
"Well, please step back first." Liancheng waved to the person behind him. A gust of wind passed by, and the black shadow disappeared without a trace. He walked to Mu Wanting and said, "It's late at night, I'll take you back!"
After he finished speaking, he held Mu Wanting's waist and flew towards the road out of the forest as usual. He lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms. He suddenly wanted to stop time, just holding her like this and not letting go.
In desperation, Mu Wanting still hugged his neck and buried her head in his chest. She had mixed feelings in her heart and really wanted to stay in his arms and never leave.
Suddenly thinking of what he had said before about leaving, she raised her eyes to look at him and asked: "What happened in Lianyun country? You need to rush back to the country overnight!"
Liancheng lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead, saying: "My father is seriously ill. I have to rush back overnight to deal with important matters in the court. I don't know when I will come to the court next time, so I hope you can follow me."
Go together!"
Mu Wanting lowered her head in silence, and did not speak until she returned to the courtyard of the General's Mansion. Lian Cheng did not embarrass her again, but just put the jade pendant into her hand and told her to take good care of herself.
Wait until he comes back to see her after handling the matter.
After Liancheng left, Mu Wanting sat alone at the stone table in the yard, staring blankly at the jade pendant in her hand. She had only left for a short while, but she couldn't help but think about him. What should she do?
