Su Liu, who had been blown to smithereens, opened her eyes again only to find her husband dead and a son by her side. As a widowed mother and orphan, she suffered endless bullying from her in-laws,...
Ding Yueyao left and Liu Wuyou did not try to keep her.
Everyone was scolding her for having no self-respect and no self-love, and she didn't have the energy to explain any further.
Let it be a misunderstanding, it won’t cost you anything anyway.
Xi Yanmo watched Liu Wuyou calmly sit down and raised his eyebrows, "Are you giving up now? You're not going to explain anymore?"
Liu Wuyou ignored him and just stared at the teacup in his hand in a daze.
"I'm talking to you." Xi Yanmo said again.
Liu Wuyou still pretended not to hear. She put down her teacup and started eating the snacks on the table.
He ate slowly, chewing each bite carefully, looking like he was enjoying it.
She is currently powerless against Xi Yanmo, but that doesn't mean she has to succumb to his tyranny.
Seeing her like this, Xi Yanmo stopped talking.
The two remained silent.
After a long while, Xi Yanmo suddenly stood up.
Liu Wuyou was startled and stood up and stepped back, holding the pastry in his hand and looking at Xi Yanmo with a vigilant look.
"I was rude and impolite just now. I apologize to you with the highest etiquette of Xiyan Kingdom."
Xi Yanmo placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to Liu Wuyou at a 45-degree angle.
This etiquette is what Xi Yanmo performed to the emperor and the empress dowager.
Liu Wuyou blinked. Was the apology so sudden?
He seems really sincere...
Xi Yanmo stood up and said seriously, "County Master Wuyou, I'm not here today because I look down on your past, nor am I here to ask you to withdraw. Rather, I hope you can give me a chance to get to know you better."
Liu Wuyou: “???”
Just apologize, why does the style suddenly seem wrong?
Xi Yanmo wasn't done yet. He took out a small box from somewhere.
He handed it to Liu Wuyou with both hands.
Liu Wuyou shook her head and put her hands behind her back. Although she was not very feminine, her woman's intuition told her not to take the box.
But Xi Yanmo did not give up.
Keep extending your hands forward.
This box is not made of wood, it looks like it is made of iron, but it is not rougher than a wooden box. On the contrary, it is more gorgeous and exquisite because of the circle of small gems and various patterns inlaid on it.
Xiyan Kingdom's ironmaking technology is the strongest among the four major countries, so their country's weapons are of the best quality and the ironwork craftsmanship is also the best.
Seeing that Xi Yanmo had no intention of taking it back, Liu Wuyou said:
"Seventh Prince, there's a saying that goes 'no reward without merit.' Since I haven't done anything for you, I naturally can't accept anything from you. Let's forget about what happened just now. You just wanted to confirm whether what I said was true. I forgive you."
"I will feel much better if you forgive me. This is what you did for me, so please accept it." Xi Yanmo said seriously following Liu Wuyou's words.
Liu Wuyou nodded, almost confused. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, actually my son is really grown up. He is six years old. Do you know how old six is? He is so tall that he can go out to buy soy sauce!" Brother, don't think about becoming a stepfather!
Xi Yanmo looked at the height Liu Wuyou anxiously gestured and nodded calmly:
"Six years old is a perfect age to learn horseback riding. I can teach him horseback riding and archery. Our Xiyan Kingdom's cavalry is the strongest, and I am also very strong."
Liu Wuyou felt that she and Xi Yanmo were no longer on the same wavelength. Why did Xi Yanmo suddenly act like he wanted to confess his love to her?
Could it be...
She glanced down at her calves.
"It's actually just an interesting little gadget, not expensive. You can open it and take a look before deciding whether to accept it or not."
Xi Yanmo had said this, so Liu Wuyou reached out to take it, intending to take a look at it and then say that it was too expensive and not to buy it.
