Therefore, Mu Yun'an was clearly lying to her, but she did not expose it and only questioned: "I wonder who the person who is engaged to cousin Yi is?"
Mu Yun'an shook his head and said: "I didn't ask so many questions. If you don't believe it, why not ask Brother Yi yourself, but is there such a thing?"
"That's fine."
Shen Wanyue stood up and said: "If he is really engaged, I would have given up my heart earlier. Thank you, Yan Yan, for telling me this."
Mu Yun'an smiled slightly and walked her out of the door personally. After the people left, she hurried back to the room and went to the inner room. However, Xiao Chengyi's shadow was no longer in the inner room, and there was only a gap left in the window.
She stood there, her heart in confusion for a moment. She had made up the engagement just now in order to make Shen Wanyue give up her heart. She had thought that Xiao Chengyi was still there, so that even if Shen Wanyue asked him, he could help her lie.
But she didn't expect that Xiao Chengyi would leave, and she didn't know if her words would reveal the truth? But she couldn't care about that much at the moment. Anyway, sooner or later, she and Shen Wanyue would have to quarrel with each other.
What's more, when Shen Wanyue told her that she liked Xiao Chengyi today, she might not be warning her to stay away from Xiao Chengyi.
I just don’t know how long her cousin can keep pretending?
...
Tingfengyuan.
When Shen Wanyue came here, she saw Xiao Chengyi reading in the yard. He was wearing a dark green brocade robe, holding a jade tree in front of the wind, and the breeze blew gently and blew a strand of his hair.
That jade-like face glowed under the setting sun, her deep eyes stared at the book in her hand, her slender fingers flipped the pages, and her concentrated expression was like a natural painting, which was pleasing to the eye.
She looked a little obsessed, her eyes full of deep attachment. In the past, she loved to be by his side, adding a pot of tea and grinding a stick of ink for him.
Even if her reputation is unfair, she doesn't regret it. I don't know how many people envy him for finding such a happy husband, but what?
She had confessed her feelings to him more than once, but the answer was the same every time.
Yes, this man didn't have any feelings for her. He just wanted to take care of her more because of his past kindness. But what she wanted was never kindness!
What she couldn't get in her previous life, she must get in this life!
"Cousin Yi."
Shen Wanyue took a deep breath, raised her head and walked slowly towards Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked in a faint voice: "Why are you here?"
Shen Wanyue said with a sad face: "Cousin Yi didn't come to see me, so I came to see you. I wonder what Wan Yue did, and why Cousin Yi never came to see me?"
Xiao Chengyi closed the book in his hand and said: "I did this to avoid suspicion. Although you and I are cousins, there are differences between men and women. If I go to see you often, it will be criticized."
"What does Cousin Yi mean by this?"
Shen Wanyue took a few steps forward and said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin Yi, can't you see my feelings for you? If I didn't like you, how could I go out of my way to block your arrows? You obviously treated me before Very good, why did it suddenly change?"
Xiao Chengyi pursed his lips and looked at her and said: "It is precisely because I know Miss Cousin's feelings for me that I have to avoid suspicion. To be honest, Xiao has been engaged for a long time. Please forgive me for not accepting Miss Cousin's feelings."
