Chapter 208: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (37)

The autumn scenery is a bit bleak. After a night of wind, leaves fell all over the ground and were swept away. However, the further you go into the village, the better the scenery becomes.

The evergreen trees are arranged in an orderly manner, and the gurgling stream is like a jade belt, flowing into the clear lake opposite.

Looking into the distance, you can see green mountains in the distance, vast and boundless.

Lin Jinse had heard of this place from Cui Yue, but had never been there.

I saw it today and it is really beautiful.

The servant led her to a small pavilion: "It's right there, girl, go over there."

Seeing Cui Ling's back, Lin Jinse's eyes quietly turned red.

Ever since her mother told her that their marriage might not be possible, she hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Cui Ling's appearance. When she opened her eyes again, tears fell and soaked the pillow.

My mother said that it was Cui Ling who brought up this matter.

He didn't want to marry her.

This news was even more devastating than hearing that the marriage had fallen through.

Lin Jinse cried secretly for several days, and finally plucked up the courage to come over and ask him face to face why he didn't want to marry her.

Lin Jinse's steps became slower and slower as she walked along the gravel path.

"Just wait for me here," she said to the maid.

The maid nodded: "Yes, Miss."

Cui Ling had her back to Lin Jinse and was facing the lake, so she didn't see Su Yu.

It was not until she walked into the pavilion and saw Cui Ling holding a woman in his arms, rubbing her hair affectionately and talking in her ear that Lin Jinse's face suddenly turned pale.

Su Yu has completely given up struggling.

She buried her face in Cui Ling's arms, not daring to look at the heroine's expression, fearing that she would cry after seeing it, because -

There is a 99% chance that she won't be able to go back and is about to be trapped!

The system considerately added a dot ninety-nine after ninety-nine percent.

The remaining 0.01 percent is God’s blind eye.

[Host, it's okay, just stay. Didn't you say before that the mission world is better than the quick-travel game? ]

Su Yu was angry: [Shut up, I just said it casually. Also, don't think I don't know about your affair with that system sister. You are making money from the little black room. Do you have a guilty conscience? I was so good to you before! ]

The system was criticized so much that it dared not to refute.

But it's the truth. Since I'm destined to stay, I might as well stay and enjoy it.

Moreover, the system found out that the host of the system sister seemed to be from the flower market next door, and was connected to it by mistake. No wonder they meet every time in the small dark room.

In this case, of course the more small dark rooms the better hehehehe...

"Brother Hanzhang, who is she?" Lin Jinse's voice broke.

Even though she knew she was no longer qualified to question Cui Ling, she still couldn't help but ask.

Cui Ling glanced at her and signaled the maid to serve tea.

The three of them sat opposite each other. Su Yu still did not move her head from Cui Ling's arms, and Cui Ling did not force her.

Cui Ling took a sip of hot tea and said calmly, "My wife-to-be."

Snap——

Lin Jinse didn't hold the teacup firmly in her hand and it fell to the ground with a loud noise.

She looked up in shock, her eyes had become even redder without her noticing, and tears fell one after another like beads from a broken string.

"The wife who has not yet been married?" She whispered, and then asked in tears, "Is it because of her that you broke off the engagement with me?"

Cui Ling's expression was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Ms. Lin, please be careful with your words. You and I have never been engaged, so how can you say that you want to cancel the engagement?"

Lin Jinse's face turned even paler.

It turned out that he had never acknowledged their marriage.

Lin Jinse changed out of her favorite ice-blue clothes today and wore a plain white outfit instead. She had light lip balm and red eyes. At first glance, she looked somewhat similar to Su Yu's usual gentle and timid appearance.

Thinking of Su Yu, she suddenly wiped away her tears and looked straight at Cui Ling.

"What about Su Yu?"

Lin Jinse looked at the woman hiding in Cui Ling's arms with tearful eyes, and asked through gritted teeth: "If you don't recognize our marriage, what about Su Yu? She likes you so much, and she was injured to save you. If you still remember her kindness, you shouldn't marry this woman of unknown origin."

Su·The woman of unknown origin·Yu herself: "..."

ha?

What kind of development is this?

Cui Ling also had a subtle expression: "What did you say?"

Lin Jinse repeated with tears in her eyes: "I said, you shouldn't marry this woman of unknown origin."

"Previous sentence."

Lin Jinse paused: "If you still miss Su Yu's kindness..."

Cui Ling interrupted: "One more sentence."

Lin Jinse: "... and got injured while saving you."

Cui Ling looked impatient: "One more sentence."

Lin Jinse was at a loss, her tone stuttering a little: "She likes you so much."

That's it.

Cui Ling's face turned from gloomy to sunny. Although it was late autumn, he gave people a feeling of being in spring breeze.

Lin Jinse, whose face was inexplicably covered by the spring breeze, said: "..."

Su Yu knew what he was thinking without having to guess. She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but twist his waist. He just wanted to make such a fuss. Is he any good at all?

Cui Ling's body tensed for a moment, then he calmly grabbed her hand, and with his other hand he twisted her waist in response, but he didn't dare to use force.

Su Yu's waist was the most sensitive, and she couldn't help but whimper.

Awkward, quiet, silent, dead silence.

Su Yu's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

At this time, Cui Ling patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, get up quickly. How long are you going to hide? Miss Lin has been here for so long, don't you plan to meet her?"

It must be intentional!

Lin Jinse didn't understand. The woman in Cui Ling's arms hid too well and she hadn't even seen her eyes until now. She was a secretive person and must not be a good person.

She looked at him coldly, watching the woman slowly climb out of Cui Ling's arms and slowly turn her face away.

Lin Jinse's heart was shocked.

She stood up immediately and almost lost her voice: "Su Yu?"

Su Yu's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head in embarrassment: "Miss Lin."

Lin Jinse seemed to be shocked and took two steps back: "It's you?"

No wonder, no wonder...

Tears suddenly welled up again.

Lin Jinse's voice choked: "Before I came here, I was still wondering why Brother Hanzhang did this, it turns out it was because of you."

Su Yu didn't know what to say. Suddenly, someone hugged her waist from behind and held her in his arms. She was forced to lean on the person behind her.

Cui Ling said in an extremely calm voice: "I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt."

"There is no causal relationship between these two things, Miss Lin. Even if there was no Su Yu, there would be no possibility between us, and what happened between me and Su Yu has nothing to do with you."

"Since Miss Lin is here, I will make it clear. Mother and Yue'er like you, and I welcome you to visit our house. But if you want to interfere in my private affairs, you will be overstepping the boundaries. Miss Lin, do you understand what I mean?"

These words were spoken mercilessly, leaving Lin Jinse no hope at all.

Lin Jinse's face turned paler than paper and she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

As if in a standoff, Cui Ling never looked away, as if forcing her to answer.

Lin Jinse could hardly stand under such a questioning gaze.

After a while, she lowered her head and said in a voice like a broken porcelain cup on the ground: "I understand."

She didn't even have the courage to retort.

Lin Jinse nodded at the two of them with blurred eyes. She didn't have the courage to look at them again and turned and left.

"Miss Lin." Cui Ling suddenly called her.

Lin Jinse stopped.

She heard Cui Ling's cold voice, but every word was sincere: "You should dress according to your own preferences, not based on others' reference. I hope Miss Lin can understand this principle when she returns."

The tears in Lin Jinse's eyes fell faster.

In the end, she said nothing and walked out quicker.

Come with full expectations, leave with panic.

Lin Jinse knew that there was no possibility for her and Cui Ling.

The system is curious: [Host, why didn't you persuade the hero and heroine to be together this time? ]

Su Yu smiled: [I accept my fate. ]

The system was speechless, and could only say: […Just think it over. ]

Su Yu finally couldn't hold it anymore and burst into tears: [Why am I so miserable——]
