Chapter 37 Queen's Hand 04

*
After saying this, Liang Yushi no longer wanted to continue talking to him. She got up and went outside, calling all the servants in.
Seeing the makeup artist and costume designer filing in, she said in a light tone to Shen Yixi, who was standing there in silence: "Mr. Shen, there is nothing to do today, you go back and rest."
This is a merciless order to expel you.
Shen Yixi didn't feel a trace of emotion on her face or in her tone at this moment. The "Shishi" who had always been used to acting coquettishly to him, asking for praise from him, and playing tricks on him when no one was around for so many years suddenly disappeared.
The current Liang Yu Shi is the shrewd and strong Queen Liang that everyone else sees.
After a while, he took a few deep breaths, clenched his fists, turned and left the bedroom.
Liang Yushi watched his back as he walked away quickly, closed her eyes, and tried hard to force back the sour feeling in her eyes.
…
From that day on, the atmosphere between them changed completely.
He was still the most competent hand of the Queen, arranging all her itineraries, providing her with all professional advice, handling matters big and small for her, and taking care of her perfectly. She still regarded him as her most trusted confidant, and with his assistance, she made full efforts and preparations for the final stage of the campaign.
However, they never communicated with each other privately again.
She never called him "Brother Yixi" again, never rested on his lap again, and never joked with him again.
She called him "Mr. Shen" in a polite and distant manner, talked to him like a king and his subject, and thanked him sincerely.
They were clearly close to each other, yet they seemed very far away.
At the same time, he began to hear her frequent phone calls with Luo Jingqu.
Every day, whether she was backstage at a lecture venue or outside a conference room, she would take the time to walk to a quiet and deserted corner with her cell phone and talk to Luo Jingqu on the phone for a while. She didn't know what Luo Jingqu said on the other end of the phone, but he could always make her laugh easily.
And the smile on her face was indeed real, without a trace of hypocrisy or courtesy, just like she had smiled at herself in private before.
Shen Yixi was looking at her from a distance.
He could say nothing and do nothing.
This is the fiancé she chose and the one who is most suitable for her.
He could only bless her and them.
-
The final campaign speech concluded successfully in City P.
Last week, Luo Jingqu publicly announced that he and Liang Yushi would be getting married next month, which instantly caused an uproar across the country. Afterwards, the Luo family began to fully support her campaign in all aspects. With the support of the Luo family, she was even more powerful and her momentum was very strong. Liang Yushi's current support rate was only a few votes away from the first place and was about to overtake.
After the speech, Shen's father called, his tone full of joy, saying that the success of the top first election is just around the corner.
Everyone in the team around him…the subordinates and servants were very happy, but Shen Yixi was not happy at all.
Instead of being happy, he became more depressed every day.
His depression was manifested in the increasingly silent and gloomy aura around him. He had always been a serious person, and recently it was even more impossible to guess what he was thinking. He didn't smile once all day. His subordinates and servants were more afraid of him than before, and were always trembling with fear when reporting to him.
On the way back to the hotel in P City, Liang Yushi received a phone call. Because he was sitting next to her, she could clearly hear that the voice on the other end of the phone belonged to Luo Jingqu.
She finished the call with a smile, and then turned to face him with a calm expression: "Mr. Shen, please send someone to the lobby of the hotel where we are staying."
He was already numb to that "Mr. Shen" and said expressionlessly: "Do you want to get something?"
"Yes." She looked calm. "The first version of the specially customized wedding dress is ready. Jingqu asked me to try it on first. If it doesn't fit, I can alter it. The people from the bridal shop are already waiting in the lobby with the wedding dress."
The two words "wedding dress" instantly shocked him.
When he listened to Luo Jingqu's press conference before, he just numbed himself with the sorrow that was greater than the death of the heart. However, when this incident really started to happen before his eyes, he found that his heart began to feel a dull pain that he could not ignore.
He almost restrained himself and tried to slow down for two seconds before nodding and calling the hotel staff.
Liang Yushi sat beside him and looked at him calmly.
-
After returning to the hotel, she put down her things and went to the bedroom to try on her wedding dress.
Shen Yixi sat on the sofa in the living room and found that his hands on his knees were shaking.
He tried to appear as calm as possible.
However, all the mental preparation and self-paralysis he had put so much time and effort into were instantly shattered the moment he saw the bedroom door open.
The afterglow of sunset poured in from the window.
In this gentle light and shadow, she was wearing a white off-shoulder wedding dress, and she walked slowly to the bedroom door, step by step, and looked at him.
This wedding dress has an intricate pattern design and is embellished with expensive diamonds, which makes her look fairy-like and beautiful. However, he feels that no matter how precious the jewelry in the world is, she is worthy of it.
The girl he has held in his hands since childhood deserves the best in the world.
Shen Yixi looked at her motionlessly, his eyes almost bold and greedy.
"Mr. Shen," she met his gaze at this time and asked calmly, "What do you think?"
His Adam's apple rolled up and down.
How can it not look good?
He thought.
She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.
She, wearing a white wedding dress, lit up his dreams.
After a long time, he did not speak, but nodded slowly and lightly.
"This wedding dress really suits you!"
"Mr. Luo has such good taste! I've never seen such a beautiful wedding dress in my life!"
"On your wedding day, you will be the most beautiful bride in the world!"
…
The costume designer, makeup artist and attendants at the side finally couldn't help but sigh.
He heard many voices, but it seemed as if he heard nothing.
There was only one thought in his mind at this moment.
She is getting married.
She is really going to get married in this wedding dress.
She will wear this wedding dress to marry another man and spend the rest of her life with that man.
From then on, she would only smile at that man, be kissed and hugged by him, and become pregnant and bear a child for him.
And he will continue to stay in the place closest to her, guarding this self-pitying heart, not daring to take a step forward to break the shackles that shackle him, and silently watching her for the rest of his life.
All her stories will have nothing to do with him.
When he came to his senses, his subordinates and servants had already left the room. Liang Yushi stood silently in front of the bedroom door, looking at him and calling him, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Yixi raised his head and looked towards her.
As their eyes met, he heard the string in his head that had lasted for more than twenty years completely break.
The next second, he stood up from the sofa and strode towards her.
Under her surprised gaze, he grabbed her hand, pulled her into the bedroom, and closed the door.
Liang Yushi opened her mouth: "You..."
His eyes were filled with surging emotions, and he reached out and lifted her up from the ground.
She was very thin, and even though she was wearing a heavy wedding dress, she didn't feel heavy when he carried her like this. He rolled up the hem of her skirt that was dragging on the ground, grabbed it in his hands, and easily carried her to the big bed.
Then he knelt on one leg beside the bed, supported his hands on her cheeks, and looked down at her condescendingly.
Her eyes moved.
"Shishi," his handsome face was filled with emotion. He stared into her eyes and said word by word, "I don't want to endure it anymore."
Then he lifted her chin, lowered his head and kissed her.
His kiss was heavy, with a burning and scorching heat, mixed with a hint of immaturity and recklessness. Liang Yushi was a little breathless from his kiss and wanted to break free, but he held her hands and kissed her even deeper.
"Chen Yixi..." After a while, she couldn't bear it any longer and kicked him with her foot, "Wait a moment..."
She finally brought him back to his senses. He gasped and stepped back from her lips, which had been kissed until they were rosy red.
She slowed her breathing and looked at him, her voice devoid of emotion for a moment: "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing now?"
He was silent for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not crazy."
"Don't you know that I'm going to marry Luo Jingqu soon?"
He closed his eyes: "I know, but I don't want you to marry him."
She narrowed her eyes and said, "I told you last time that you are not qualified at all..."
"I love you," he said hoarsely, "Liang Yushi, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."
These words, which had weighed on his heart for years like a nightmare, finally left his body at this moment. For a moment, he felt that this was not as scary as he had expected. Instead, it made him feel relaxed.
Liang Yushi stared at him motionlessly, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
"Everyone told me I couldn't love you, that I couldn't love you, that I could only be your Queen's Hand by your side forever. So I retreated again and again, even denying my feelings for you... In fact, my feelings for you have never been the emotions of a subject for an emperor, but rather the most direct and naked desire of a man for the woman he loves."
The more he spoke, the deeper his voice became. "You might ask why I had to wait until now to say it. Yes, I was too timid before, and I didn't dare to say it no matter what. But now, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I have to speak out. I don't want to see you marrying anyone other than me."
"Shishi, for all these years, you have no idea how I feel watching you grow up. Watching you become more and more fascinating day by day, I..."
"I know."
At this moment, she suddenly interrupted him in a low voice, “Chen Yixi, I know everything.”
"I know how you look at me, and I also know that your feelings for me have long exceeded your permitted scope, but so what? Because I am the same."
He was stunned for a moment, and then an unconcealable light flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to say something more, but she raised her hand to stop him.
"Can you kiss or not?" Her eyes sparkled.
"...I," he was stunned for a moment, a suspicious blush flashing across his handsome face, "I've never kissed a girl."
Liang Yushi was amused by this wooden man and laughed out loud. Then she grabbed his collar, pulled him down close to her, and kissed him.
