Seeing that everyone present was looking at her, Gu Xiyan took a leisurely sip of tea and moistened her throat before saying: "Master Xu and I have only met twice, how can I dare to act as a matchmaker for Master Xu? Besides, the marriage of the third sister
It’s not something I, the eldest sister, can interfere with. Today I’m just going to enjoy delicious food, not talk about romance.”
Xu Yanqing looked at Gu Xiyan in confusion, her heart tightening suddenly.
He suddenly wondered if Gu Xiyan had seen through his mind and found that he was hesitant
"It's a good example of 'just enjoy the delicious food and not talk about romance', so let's not talk about anything else today." Dong Yong agreed with a smile.
He said that Miss Gu was interesting, it was ridiculous that he looked down on Gu Xiyan when he first met her.
Liu Junyan took a deep look at Gu Xiyan and finally realized that she had underestimated her.
Being able to make both Dong Yong and Xu Yanqing interested in Gu Xiyan shows that Gu Xiyan is quite capable. Why didn't she find out in the past that Gu Xiyan was so good at seducing men?
Later, Dong Yong warmed up the scene, and Dong Yong was the one who kept the atmosphere lively throughout the whole process.
Xu Yanqing suddenly became quiet and glanced at Gu Xiyan from time to time.
While Gu Xiyan was focusing on her meal, she occasionally spoke to Dong Yong.
Liu Junyan wanted to talk to Xu Yanqing more than once, but Xu Yanqing didn't even have the most basic gentlemanly manners and ignored her, which made her feel embarrassed.
After the meal, the person who enjoyed the happiest meal was Dong Yong. As soon as he was happy, he rushed to pay the bill.
Gu Xiyan stood up and was about to leave the box, but Liu Junyan said: "Mr. Xu and I have something to say. Sister, please go down first."
Gu Xiyan glanced at Liu Junyan, her red lips parted lightly: "Okay, I'll wait for my sister downstairs."
Xu Yanqing twitched her eyebrows slightly, dissatisfied that Gu Xiyan had left her behind.
He said to Liu Junyan: "Miss Liu San and I have nothing to say. I already said what I needed to say that day at Xiangguo Temple."
Liu Junyan's face changed slightly, "But——"
Xu Yanqing no longer gave her a chance to speak and quickly followed Gu Xiyan: "Miss Gu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Gu Xiyan slowed down and looked back at Xu Yanqing.
She saw that Xu Yanqing was unhappy and nodded slightly: "Mr. Xu, let's find a place to talk."
Some things are better said clearly.
Seeing Gu Xiyan's indifferent and distant expression, Xu Yanqing suddenly didn't want to talk to Gu Xiyan.
After Dong Yong settled the account, he walked to Gu Xiyan and heard Gu Xiyan say: "Master Xu and I have something to say, Master Dong, please stop."
She opened her mouth, and of course Dong Yong couldn't follow her.
He was just curious about what Gu Xiyan was going to tell Xu Yanqing and why he couldn't listen
Xu Yanqing and Gu Xiyan silently went downstairs and stood where there were few people.
Gu Xiyan watched people coming and going on the street, and after she had finished speaking, she said, "If you have any questions, Mr. Xu, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"Did you bring Miss Liu San here on purpose? Did you notice that I..." Xu Yanqing's voice was stuck in his throat.
She is smart and sensitive. Maybe he noticed his hesitation as early as that day when he sent her back to the Marquis Mansion.
"It's not just you who is hesitating, I'm hesitating too. When I first saw your portrait, I knew you were excellent. But after I met you, I realized that you are far more vivid than the person in the portrait. In fact, as early as
When I found out that my third sister liked you, I wanted to give up my relationship with you. Do you know why?" Gu Xiyan's almond-shaped eyes were as full as water, and she looked at Xu Yanqing calmly.
Xu Yanqing's heart was heavy and she shook her head silently.
"Your Excellency also knows that I was rejected from the marriage, and later His Highness the King of Qin proposed to my second sister. I feel that history is surprisingly similar..."
Xu Yanqing still didn't understand what he heard here. Gu Xiyan was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well flies for ten years.
"But I'm not His Highness the King of Qin, you can't just sentence me to death like this." Xu Yanqing felt very depressed.
He didn't know whether it was because he was easily given up by Gu Xiyan, or because he had thought about giving up and continuing to associate with Gu Xiyan, but he was always unwilling to do so.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin also had a relationship with me for ten years, but His Highness the King of Qin still disliked me for not having family support behind me. For the sake of his future, he abandoned me before getting married. Mr. Xu has only met me twice.
I don’t have a deep friendship. At most, I think my face is pretty, or I sympathize with my experience. But such sympathy and compassion will always be exhausted one day.”
The last thing she wants is that every time she wants to see Xu Yanqing in the future, little Gu will have to talk to her, asking her to remember little Gu's kindness in raising her, and forcing her to bring Liu Junyan to see Xu Yanqing.
She finds this kind of thing boring.
Xu Yanqing wanted to refute, but found that every word Gu Xiyan said was right.
She sees more clearly than he does, thinks more deeply than he does, and she even has a glimpse of his true inner thoughts early on.
"It's my fault. This is the first time I've seen each other. I don't know what love is like. I can't see clearly what kind of love I have for the girl." Xu Yanqing was very upset.
Gu Xiyan laughed dumbly: "It's obviously my fault. It's me who has brought you a lot of trouble. Regardless of whether I did it voluntarily or not, last time I asked my third sister to go to Xiangguo Temple to meet you on my behalf. It was disrespectful to you.
.This time it was me who took it upon myself to bring my third sister over to have dinner with me without communicating with you in advance, putting you in an embarrassing situation. Xiyan is here to solemnly apologize to you."
"I know it's not what you want. It must be Mrs. Wan Qinghou who forced you. You also have difficulties in this matter." Xu Yanqing hurriedly replied.
Seeing Xu Yanqing trying to excuse herself, Gu Xiyan felt more and more that Xu Yanqing was a humble gentleman: "I know that your Lord's wish is to marry a woman who pleases your heart. Your Lord's character is noble, and you will definitely marry a beautiful wife like a flower in the future.
Ming."
Xu Yanqing's thoughts moved. He just thought that he had become interested in Gu Xiyan from the beginning. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to approach a woman in his life.
Don’t you like this?
But why didn't his heart flutter when he faced Gu Xiyan?
He couldn't say anything decent like wishing her to find the right husband, so he simply asked: "The girl has never been attracted to me, has she?"
So she gave up on him easily, just because he failed to enter her heart.
"Master Xu and I may be more suitable to be ordinary friends." Gu Xiyan did not deny Xu Yanqing's words.
She thought Xu Yanqing was excellent, but she had never been attracted to him, so when Xiao Gu and Liu Junyan became obstacles between them, she easily chose to give up.
It's just because she doesn't like Xu Yanqing enough, and Xu Yanqing doesn't like her enough.
Without love as a basis, she would easily give in when encountering difficulties, and he would suddenly become unsteady.
She thought that if one day she could meet someone she truly loved, she might be able to overcome all the difficulties and stay with that person to the end.
