Chapter 83: Think Again
But she didn't speak up, and he couldn't say, "Leave, I'll help you open a new store." He had to wait until Huatang said it herself.
"Okay, the team has gone far away. Don't stand here in the wind. Come with me to Baoxianglou for a meal. I came here specially to accompany you today." Baili Yunzhou put away the umbrella. The snow was lighter now, and it was quite beautiful to stand with her.
"Why do you always treat me to dinner? Do you have a hobby of treating people to dinner?" Yu Huatang asked with a smile.
"I'm happy to treat you to a meal, and it's none of your business. I heard that you were bullied, so I rushed here early in the morning. Is this sincerity not enough for you to do me the honor of having a meal?" He said it casually, but Yu Huatang knew that he must have something to say.
She replied, "Okay, but today, the meal will be paid for by me. Xu Fu happens to be here too, so I'll take him along."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what we'll talk about as we walk." He led the two of them towards Baoxianglou. "Actually, when I came back this time, someone told me that Zhou Ji was opening a branch here. I thought, if you have any ideas, I happen to know the owner of Zhou Ji, so I can help you connect..."
Yu Huatang knew that this was not a matchmaking. He had probably already agreed on the wages with the other party and was just thinking about her going. However, now was not the right time. "Baili, I understand what you mean. Let's talk about this in a few days."
"Okay." Baili thought she was going to agree, and he was happy, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them walked without noticing Zhao Yan in the attic. Ever since Baili Yunzhou appeared, Zhao Yan had been watching them, watching him talk to her for a long time, watching her nod in agreement, watching her follow him...
His heart ached, remembering how she had been all alone in the capital, with no one to talk to when she was sad and upset.
Now that he has returned to his hometown and encountered trouble, he has lost his qualifications. He wants to help her and heal her pain, but she says, no need, don't appear in front of her again.
Why is this happening? He swallowed the pain and wanted to look away with a gloomy expression, but he couldn't.
He looked at her greedily, quietly waiting for them to go away, even though there was another person beside her...
…………
Heavy snow fell for several days in a row, and one day Zhao Yan arrived at the government office.
Wang Zhubu took off his cloak and said to him, "The publicity we had previously arranged has been completed. Winter is coming soon. Do you need me to appoint a lantern shop to host the winter night parade?"
Originally, Zhao Yan wanted her to take over, but now he had no interest and just answered casually.
Wang Zhubu had been with this person for a long time, and he knew that although he was usually cold, he did have emotions. It was very rare for him to be as lonely as he was now.
Wang Zhubu asked carefully, "Sir, is there anything bothering you?"
Zhao Yan did not answer, and the government office fell silent for a while. Just when Wang Zhubu thought he had said something wrong and wanted to change the subject.
He heard the adult say, "If there is something that you can't let go of no matter what, but others have already rejected it, what should you do in this situation..."
Wang Zhubu didn't expect that Lord Zhao would actually tell him about his worries, so he kindly asked, "What is it?"
Zhao Yan didn't reply again.
Wang Zhubu immediately changed his tone and said, "Then listen to others and let it go. As the saying goes, there are so many things in this world that can be replaced. It's normal for you to be unable to let go for a while, but nothing can resist the passage of time. I think after some time, you will let it go, and maybe you will get a better one..."
Nothing is irreplaceable, Wang Zhubu felt his answer was perfect. Furthermore, Lord Zhao had no shortage of gold and silver, and no shortage of opportunities for promotion. After a few years of achieving great things, he would naturally let go of everything.
At this time, Zhao Yan said, "I tried to let it go, but I couldn't do it?"
Wang Zhubu was a little confused. What did it mean to want to let go but not be able to? Considering the previous incident, he thought about the wording, "How about a different approach? However, this still depends on your own thoughts. Before I became a Zhubu, I also encountered many confusing things, but at that time I only asked myself whether I wanted to do it. If I did, I would not worry about anything and give it my all. As for the consequences, it depends on myself. At least if I gave it my all, I won't regret it..."
Zhao Yan raised his eyes and looked over. "But she has already resolutely refused. Will it annoy her if I go again?"
Wang Zhubu was glad that he guessed correctly. He knew that although others could not see the change in Lord Zhao's working style from before to now, he still understood that as long as it was about Miss Yu, Lord Zhao would be very serious!
Wang Zhubu pretended to ask again, "Is it for a woman, sir? As the saying goes, 'Love may end, but hatred lasts forever.' In my opinion, no matter what, you must make your feelings known to this woman, telling her that no matter what, his pursuit of her and his love for her will never cease, and he will never give up."
Seeing that Zhao Yan was listening attentively, he continued to explain, "Women and men are different. If two people used to have feelings for each other, but later missed each other for some reason and want to get back together, the man will naturally have to make more efforts until the gap between them disappears. Then the woman will naturally agree. As the saying goes, a strong woman is not afraid of a clinging man..."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhubu thought of someone, Baili Yunzhou. He was actually very curious about why this Lord Zhao divorced Miss Yu, and why he wanted to get back together after the divorce.
The fact that Miss Yu has become one of the best skilled people in Quanzhou City shows that she has her own pride and character. At least she had thought it through when she divorced.
Although he didn't want to know about these gossips, he knew that Baili Yunzhou had been pursuing Miss Yu for as long as she came back. However, even the infatuated Baili was rejected, which showed that Miss Yu was determined not to get married.
Let these onlookers say that even a rich young man as infatuated as Baili Yunzhou, who is also getting married for the first time, was not accepted by Miss Yu.
There is basically no hope for a divorced and remarried man like Lord Zhao.
Moreover, after the two divorced, Master Zhao never came to visit her again. It was not until three years later that Master Zhao appeared and pursued her again. All these signs showed that Master Zhao had never been interested in Miss Yu before, and he was not a lovestruck man!
It seems that Lord Zhao has very little hope. Even a normal woman would not go back to her husband, let alone someone as dignified as Miss Yu.
After a long pause, Zhao Yan said, "Is that so?" But he felt that things were not that simple. She still disliked him. At least when Baili Yunzhou approached her and tried to help her, she refused but did not reject him...
Seeing him like this, Wang Zhubu was reluctant to give a clear answer. Instead, he said, "'I wish to find a devoted person and stay together till old age' is indeed a beautiful idea, but if the goddess is not interested, it is better to let it go. There are beautiful women everywhere in the world. Your Excellency has excellent conditions, so there is no need to worry about finding a beautiful woman."
