Chapter 155: Meet Again

Fu Xuwen finally raised his eyes and looked at Chen Shiyi, only to find that his little trick had been discovered by her.

She clearly knew what was in his mind, but she still thought about the affection they had for each other before.

He originally thought that he wanted more than just a Luzhou tea house, but now he had nothing to say.

He can no longer be without conscience.

He kowtowed to Chen Shiyi.

"Xu Wen will make a gift of grass and a ring in his next life to repay my sister's kindness."

Chen Shiyi closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again.

"Xu Wen, do you know what is the most important thing in making a living?"

Fu Xuwen frowned slightly.

“It’s not a cup of hot tea and a lively conversation, nor is it a smile and a nod to others, but a sincere heart. That kind of sincerity will never tolerate deception…”

After saying that, Chen Shiyi took a deep breath and walked out.

"Jingran, go and hand over everything that Master Fu has, and send a carriage to take them to Luzhou."

She walked to the door, stopped to give Jingran some instructions, then turned around to look at the two people kneeling on the ground.

The biting cold will not stop the spread of ambition.

The old man always says that he has a poor eye for people. Yes, he is just that blind.

Sadness, regret, helplessness, pain, these are the prices you have to bear and pay for misjudging someone.

In Lingyun Pavilion, Qingsong hurriedly ran into the study.

Wen Zhiheng was brewing tea on the stove. Seeing him like this, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Why are you so anxious?"

"My Lord, something big has happened."

He casually made himself a cup of tea and replied slowly.

"What's the big deal?"

"Girl, there are several more men around her recently."

"What is your identity?"

"One of them is a waiter."

Wen Zhiheng spat out the tea he had just drunk because of the choking.

he asked in disbelief.

"What did you say? She actually kept a prostitute?"

Qingsong's face was also very embarrassed.

"There is another person who is said to look like a fairy. Lord Hou, you should go find the girl quickly, otherwise, she will be kidnapped by someone else."

Wen Zhiheng was really panicked this time.

In the past, her heart was always on business, and she had never shown any interest in anyone, but now, even the young prostitutes have come after her.

He no longer cared about being worried or afraid, and he and Qingsong rode fast horses straight towards Yanzhou.

Today is not Chinese New Year, but the night market in Yanzhou is still brightly lit and bustling.

The wind blew across the river, causing ripples to form. Rows of neatly arranged red lanterns were reflected on the hazy, empty mirror surface, making the night seem as if it were day.

The willow trees were glowing with fresh green, and their hanging silks softened in the breeze, lightly brushing against the lark's cheek.

Bailing raised her hand and plucked a willow leaf, then turned around and looked behind her.

Master Pei stood on the right side of my elder sister, talking to her with his head down and a smile on his face. He leaned sideways, subconsciously blocking the passers-by and carefully protecting my elder sister.

He seems to be like this only towards my sister.

As for other people, he never seemed to glance at them, spoke very little, and was cold and difficult to get along with.

Bo Yuan pursed his lips, waved a willow branch beside him, and looked back from time to time, not knowing whether he was looking at his elder sister or Master Pei.

"Young man, what's the look on your face?"

In response to Bailing's teasing, Boyuan rubbed against her.

"Bai Ling, who is that person? When did the boss get to know him?"

"My sister told me that they knew each other when they were very young and they supported each other through it all."

Li Yunzhou's daughter Mu Yan also came over.

"Sister Bailing, are the Dong family and Mr. Pei childhood sweethearts?"

Lark shakes his head.

"I don't know. My sister didn't want to talk about the past. She just mentioned it briefly. I don't think it counts."

"Over the years, the two have not been able to have a happy ending, and they may not be able to have a happy ending in the future."

As soon as Fu Da, holding the sword, spoke coldly, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Li Yunzhou laughed.

"Not necessarily. The way they get along now is just as natural as that of an ordinary couple, except that there is no wedding banquet and a marriage certificate."

Mu Yan didn't understand.

"Why not have a wedding reception?"

Li Yunzhou glanced back.

"It's just not the right time yet."

Pei Luoshu looked at Chen Shiyi who was in a bad mood.

"Are you still thinking about Xu Wen?"

"Well, it feels bad to be stabbed in the back."

"It's inevitable to suffer. As your business grows, you will encounter more and more things. You should also be prepared for the possibility of being stabbed in the back at any time. Eleven, the path you take may not be easier than the path I took."

"Fortunately you came in time to remind me, otherwise I would have made a mistake without knowing it."

"In fact, you did a good job. You took the initiative and eliminated the possibility that Xuwen would ask you for money in person."

"I didn't get angry with him. I just remembered what Bai Ling said to me before."

"What?"

“If you force a person into a desperate situation, he is no longer a human being. He is like a mad dog that is ready to bite at any time, or a sword that is ready to pierce the chest at any time. In the end, he is the victim.”

Chen Shiyi looked at Pei Luoshu and said.

"I don't want to go this far with Xu Wen, and I also want to leave some room for myself."

"Leave some room? What do you mean?"

"Leave yourself some room for no regrets. In the future, if he doesn't live well, I won't show sympathy. After all, everything I gave him today has already bought out my sympathy and regrets for him."

Pei Luoshu smiled.

"It's good that you think so."

Chen Shiyi raised his head and asked with a smile.

"How many days can you stay in Kyoto?"

"About ten days."

"Tomorrow, I will go to Kyoto with you. It just so happens that I have many things to take care of in Kyoto myself."

"Then where should I live? I don't have a house in Kyoto."

"I don't have one either, but the old man's place is quite big, so I can just clean up a room and live in it."

"Grandpa?"

"Oh, by the way, he really likes your article and will recommend it to you later."

"Very good."

Pei Luoshu wanted to say something to Chen Shiyi, when suddenly he heard a deep call from behind.

"eleven…"

Pei Luoshu and Chen Shiyi turned around and looked back. Wen Zhiheng was standing tall in a black robe with wide sleeves. At that moment, the hustle and bustle of traffic and colorful lights behind him became virtual shadows.

They are so close, yet so far away.

With just that gentle call, the memories of the past came flooding into my mind like a river.

"Young Master..."

Pei Luoshu looked at Chen Shiyi's expression and felt very uneasy. His hand involuntarily pulled the corner of her clothes.

He had heard before that she had left the Marquis's Mansion and was no longer Wen Zhiheng's concubine.

But looking at the deep affection in Wen Zhiheng's eyes, things didn't seem as simple as just one sentence.
