Xu Chunliang drove down the road and stopped next to a reed marsh. The white snow contrasted with the brown reed marsh, and not far away was the dark green lake. Everything in front of him was pleasing to the eye.
Mei Ruxue felt that it was too hot inside the car, so she lowered a section of the car window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside, breathing in the cold wind.
Xu Chunliang kindly reminded: "Be careful of catching a cold."
Mei Ruxue said: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I have to go back."
Xu Chunliang said: "I heard that the Wang family proposed marriage to you?"
Mei Ruxue had vaguely guessed about this just now, and now it has been confirmed that it is indeed the case. In fact, it is impossible to keep this kind of thing a secret. There have been many rumors against her recently, saying that she was treacherous, that the Qiao family was going back on her word, and that Mei Ruxue
It is even believed that some information was intentionally released by the Wang family.
Mei Ruxue nodded and said, "It does happen."
Xu Chunliang said: "What do you think?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Xu Chunliang, I don't think I need to explain my personal matters to you, right?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Although we broke up, we are still friends after all. Can't I come all the way to show my concern?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Thank you, I understand, but I don't mind others interfering in my private life."
Xu Chunliang said: "You shouldn't be morally kidnapped by those rumors, right? If necessary, I can talk to Wang Jiancheng."
Mei Ruxue said: "Xu Chunliang, that's too much! In what capacity are you talking to Jiancheng?"
Xu Chunliang was stunned for a moment, and was really stunned by Mei Ruxue's question.
Mei Ruxue became a little angry. She opened the car door and walked out into the snow.
Xu Chunliang quickly took an umbrella and followed her, and kindly opened the umbrella for Mei Ruxue to cover the falling snow above her head.
Mei Ruxue said angrily: "Can you stay away from me? I want to be quiet."
Xu Chunliang said: "I will help you block the snow, as long as I don't say a word."
Mei Ruxue said: "I don't need it." She walked towards the lake. Xu Chunliang just took a step forward, but was stopped by Mei Ruxue's murderous eyes. He could only watch Mei Ruxue come to the lake and hear her
The sound of feet stepping on thin ice.
Mei Ruxue stood in the snow, looking at the lake in the distance. No matter how hard she tried, she could not see the Weishan Island in the lake. The place that once held the most beautiful memories between them. If it is lost, it is lost and cannot be recovered.
Mei Ruxue's heart was in a fierce struggle. The time the two had spent together appeared in her mind like a movie. The sweeter the memories, the sadder the reality. Mei Ruxue's inner defenses collapsed in an instant. She
Wept silently.
Xu Chunliang felt distressed when he saw Mei Ruxue's drooping head and trembling shoulders. He slowly walked towards Mei Ruxue, came behind Mei Ruxue, and gently placed his hand on her shoulders.
Mei Ruxue did not resist his approach. Xu Chunliang approached her and hugged her delicate body that was blown by the wind. Mei Ruxue suddenly turned around and threw herself into his arms, hugging her with all her strength.
Xu Chunliang is like embracing the whole world.
She felt the warmth that she had not seen for a long time, and the feelings buried deep in her heart burst out of the ground, and then became out of control, just like the raging waves of the sea, and like the flames rising into the sky. At this moment, they forgot where they were and the worldly world.
They were noisy, throwing away all restraints, and devoted themselves to the depths of each other's bodies and minds.
The snow stopped at some point, but the commercial vehicle in the snow did not stop shaking.
A delicate hand slapped on the foggy car window, and then the fingertips pressed hard against the car window and dragged it down, leaving clear finger marks...
Mei Ruxue leaned quietly on Xu Chunliang's shoulder, feeling weak and wanting to fall asleep, but her thoughts were at their most active.
Xu Chunliang kissed her smooth forehead, and when he looked down for another target, she blocked his mouth. Mei Ruxue's clear eyes had completely returned to rationality, and she looked at Xu Chunliang and said softly: "I can't go back.
"
Xu Chunliang said: "What?"
Mei Ruxue's voice was slow but firm: "I have decided to fulfill my engagement with Wang Jiancheng."
Xu Chunliang was confused by her: "What did you say? Are you going to marry Wang Jiancheng?"
Mei Ruxue nodded: "That's right."
"What are you planning on? He has become a useless person."
Mei Ruxue sat up and got dressed silently: "Chunliang, not all women in this world can marry for love. You should know that if you can't give me what I want, even if we get married, we won't be happy in the end."
Xu Chunliang said: "Will you be happy if you marry Wang Jiancheng?"
Mei Ruxue said: "All the Wang family wants is face. Grandpa raised me and I haven't done anything for the Qiao family yet."
"Don't you think it's ridiculous to marry someone you don't like at all for the benefit of the family?"
Mei Ruxue said: "You don't understand me, nor do you understand the Qiao family. I didn't understand it in the past either. After I broke up with you, I thought about going to you more than once, but then I controlled it and found that,
It's not that I can't live without you. There has never been a world between you and me. Love and marriage are not essential to me. The Wang family needs face, so does our Qiao family. The marriage of our two families is very important to me.
It’s the best choice for each other.”
Xu Chunliang said: "Then you just..."
Mei Ruxue looked at Xu Chunliang's depressed face and sighed softly: "I will never have another man in my life. You and I are different. The relationship between you and me is the beginning and the end. If you are really good for me,
Please respect me and don’t come to me again in the future.”
Xu Chunliang said: "What if you have it?"
Mei Ruxue shook her head: "No!"
Xu Chunliang secretly wondered, is it possible that she is in a safe period? Or is she ignoring my reproductive capacity? I guess the former is more likely.
Mei Ruxue said: "Send me back and forget about what happened tonight."
Xu Chunliang looked at Mei Ruxue's resolute expression, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart that he had suffered a loss. He thought that the two of them had reunited, but he never expected that Mei Ruxue would use such an extreme method to completely end the relationship between them.
Full stop.
Xu Chunliang stretched out his hand, but Mei Ruxue backed away: "Chunliang, please respect my choice."
Xu Chunliang finally complied with Mei Ruxue's wishes and sent her back to her residence in Dongzhou. Seeing Mei Ruxue's steps moving in the snow with difficulty, Xu Chunliang restrained the urge to follow her. He expected the pain tonight would be
Let her never forget it, maybe this is the price of growth.
Xu Chunliang had an ulterior motive for visiting Wang Jiancheng this time. He wanted to learn something about Wang Jiancheng.
Wang Jiancheng's spirit has improved visibly. Once a person has the courage to live, the next thing will be easier to handle.
Xu Chunliang pretended to help Wang Jiancheng check it out. In fact, he had many ways to prevent Mei Ruxue from getting through, but now Wang Jiancheng didn't need to let him use any means.
Xu Chunliang said: "You are recovering well. I think you will be discharged from the hospital soon."
Wang Jiancheng said: "I will go abroad for a while."
Xu Chunliang said: "I heard something recently..."
Wang Jiancheng interrupted: "Don't tell me yet and let me guess, is it about me and Mei Ruxue?"
Xu Chunliang said: "You know."
Wang Jiancheng said: "My family has talked to me, and I don't care."
Xu Chunliang looked at Wang Jiancheng with confusion on his face. He seemed to have no idea about the engagement at all.
Wang Jiancheng said: "You don't understand the affairs of our class." After saying that, he felt something was wrong and explained: "I don't mean to look down on you at all. What I mean is that we people don't have any freedom at all, love.
You can talk about it casually, but marriage must be subject to the interests of the family. The baby marriage between me and Mei Ruxue was actually a way for the two families to unite for political interests."
Xu Chunliang said: "You see clearly."
Wang Jiancheng said: "The same is true for Qiao Rulong and Ye Qingya. They have no feelings for each other at all, but they can still get married. Which do you think is greater, marrying for love or marrying for family interests?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I'm not you, I can't answer your question."
Wang Jiancheng said: "In the past, I was very resistant to political marriages. I was unwilling to be manipulated by my family and didn't want to be their pawn. But now I understand that I can't just be a person for myself. My current psychological process is
Resist their ideas, accept their ideas, and eventually become one of them.”
Xu Chunliang said: "Is it true that you proposed marriage to Mei Ruxue?"
Wang Jiancheng said: "How is it possible for me to be like this? It was all arranged by my family. I know they have good intentions. They use marriage to defeat the rumors outside and the relationship between the two families can be further improved."
Xu Chunliang said: "Have you considered Mei Ruxue's feelings?"
Wang Jiancheng asked: "I don't love her, why should I care about her feelings?"
Xu Chunliang was stunned. The brain circuits of these big courtyard boys were really extraordinary.
Wang Jiancheng said: "Since you are so curious, let me simply tell you that Mei Ruxue has agreed to marry me. I know you must be uncomfortable. After all, Mei Ruxue is your ex-boyfriend, and she will not choose you who is physically and mentally sound."
, but she chose a loser like me. It’s not that I am more attractive than you, nor did she choose me, but the Wang family. All she needs is the identity of Mrs. Wang, and she does not need to fulfill any obligations."
Xu Chunliang said, "I wonder, do you have that ability?"
Wang Jiancheng said: "Our marriage is a contract. I will go abroad after I am discharged from the hospital. She also made it clear that she will not live with me. We are in a physical marriage. Will it make you feel better if you say this?"
Xu Chunliang said: "That is your own business, and it is not my turn as an outsider to worry about it."
Wang Jiancheng said: "You are duplicitous. Xu Chunliang, because you have helped me, let me give you a piece of advice. You should draw a clear line with Mei Ruxue. I am not saying this as her fiancé.
, I am not jealous, on the contrary, if you can really get together, I will still bless you. But after she becomes my wife, she will be my face, the face of the Wang family, and the face of the Qiao family. If you can't bear it,
If you don't understand the relationship between this, you will die miserably."
Xu Chunliang said: "There is nothing between us."
"I don't care about anything." Wang Jiancheng said calmly.
