Putting down the clothes in her hands, the little girl smiled and said,"This servant's name is Wan Er. If there's anything Young Master and Furen need to tell me, this servant will be outside.”The two dimples on her delicate little face were very cute. With that, Wan 'er left.
Only Lan Zichu and Hao Yueyi were left in the tent. The quiet atmosphere made the two of them feel awkward. Lan Zichu pretended to be relaxed as he threw the invitation on the table. He got up from the rose chair and walked around Hao Yueyi to a pot of butterfly orchids in the corner. He used his hand to caress the delicate petals.
Hao Yueyi, who was standing there, cursed Lan Zichu in her heart and then sat back down unhappily. Haoyueyi felt that it was inappropriate to remain silent, so she cleared her throat and joked,""That…Lan Zichu, if you 'abduct' me, the princess of the Heqing clan, the consequences will be very serious.”
Lan Zichu, who was squatting in a corner and had nothing better to do, turned a deaf ear to him. Seeing Lan Zichu treating him as a transparent person, Hao Yue Yi stared at Lan Zichu's back with his big eyes.
"Hey, why do you think Cindy is staying with us?”Hao Yue Yi called out unwillingly, dragging out the last "ah" into a long sound, as if he was afraid that Lan Zichu couldn't hear it.
Lan Zichu couldn't stand Haoyue Yi's overly 'passionate' gaze from behind him. He stood up helplessly, half-leaning against the door with his arms crossed, looking at the angry Haoyue Yi with interest.
That handsome face was still expressionless. He would not stop until he shocked everyone."Please, please take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Look at your face. Who dares to kidnap you? You were lucky that Young Master Xin was willing to stay overnight. It was already good enough that you didn't scare him. I think you should stop daydreaming!”
"Hey, you're quite good at calling 'Wifey' in front of Young Master Xin. Why didn't you act so cocky just now? If not for me, you would have been fed to the wolves tonight.”Haoyue Yi retorted.
"Forget it. Your face is no different from a disfigured one. No matter how beautiful you are, no one will look at you. " Oh, right, without my antidote, you'll have to live with this face for the rest of your life…" Lan Zichu said teasingly.
Lan Zichu's merciless attack made Hao Yue Yi want to tear Lan Zichu's calm face into pieces.”Gritting her teeth, she turned her head and sulked alone.
She had lived for 16 years, but no one had ever commented on her appearance so excessively. It had been a long time since she had lost her composure because of his anger. She had gotten used to wearing a mask of indifference. Except for Granny Gao and Liusu, who were beside her, nothing else could affect her numb heart. Of course, there was also that man, the man who was always in white and spotless in her memory. How long had it been since he dared not reveal his emotions?
When did he start to hide his weakness and pretend to be invincible in order to protect the people around him? When he was seven years old, he saw his father and mother die tragically under the knife of the men in black, and South County was destroyed? Was it the time when she lost her dignity as a princess of a country while wandering the streets? Or when she saw Granny Gao's son die tragically in order to protect her…scheming against each other, scheming against each other. Did she never give her heart to anyone after that person?
This cold world made her not dare to trust anyone easily. She did not want to experience the feeling of being betrayed again…Although it was just a misunderstanding, even if that person did not betray her, she could not tolerate his deception…She had forgotten that time seemed to have eroded this girl who had just turned 16. Although she was as old as a flower, her heart was already so old…
Lan Zichu, who had wanted to tease Haoyue Yi, noticed the silence of the slender figure opposite him. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. Looking at Haoyue Yi's sudden silence, Lan Zichu crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
He had always thought that Haoyue Yi, as a spoiled princess, would have the temper of a spoiled and willful young lady. She would panic when she encountered an assassin, cry, be unreasonable, and…describe her as 'only women and villains are hard to raise.'”He had thought of all these words, but he hadn't expected Haoyue Yi's performance to be so unexpected. As a weak woman, she was calm and composed in the face of an assassin. No man could compare to her.
It was strange that a high and mighty princess would care about her status at a critical moment. It was strange that she would care about the life and death of an unremarkable servant girl and guard. He had clearly never ridden a horse before, yet he had still held his stiff body for so long. Lan Zichu's deep eyes flashed with a gentle light when he thought of Hao Yue Yi's stubborn face as she bit her lips.
After seeing her mischievous appearance, he should have thought that she was a lively and cheerful girl, but Haoyue Yi's big black eyes were filled with worry. The sadness in her eyes was too strong, and Lan Zichu, who was beside her, was also infected. He couldn't help but want to protect her…Sometimes she was calm and elegant, and sometimes she was mischievous. He really wanted to know what happened to Haoyue Yi that could make such a woman so sad that it made his heart ache…
"Young Master Lan, Madam, dinner is here.”Wan 'er walked over with the food in her hand. She realized that the atmosphere was a little off, so she put down the tray in her hand and turned to leave.
Wan 'er's voice interrupted Haoyue Yi, who was still immersed in sorrow." Hey, wait a minute."”
Wan-Er's petite figure stopped. She looked at Haoyue Yi and asked,"Madam, do you need anything else?"
"Um…I want to take a shower.”Haoyue Yi habitually played with her hair in front of her chest, blinking her red eyes as she answered in a low voice.
"Furen and Young Master, please eat first. Later, Wan 'er will send over the fragrant soup for Furen to bathe in. Wan 'er is outside. Madam can call Wan' er in after dinner.”With that, he bowed and left the tent.
He turned around and took a deep breath. He wiped his wet eyes with his sleeve and walked to the table casually. She raised her hand and extended her chopsticks towards the crystal tray. She elegantly placed a small piece of exquisite hibiscus cake into her mouth and opened her pink mouth to taste it.
Lan Zichu looked at the delicate figure. Her every move revealed the solemnity and elegance of a young lady from a noble family. It was as if the woman who quarreled with him and was so sad that it made one's heart ache was not her.
After tasting a piece of hibiscus crisp, although he liked sweets, he did not pick up a second piece with his chopsticks. Although this hibiscus cake was exquisitely made and tasted sweet and delicious, it was still not as good as Granny Gao's first-grade cake in her heart. Thinking of Granny Gao, Haoyue Yi's brows showed the faint sorrow that she had just hidden.# Review: hch471000 Time:111420183: 30PM #Cancel review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
