Qing'an, who was standing aside, looked at his master's face cautiously, terrified. It was all over now.
Just when Qing'an thought his master was about to explode, Xie Xianyu put on a gloomy face and forced himself to remain calm.
In the previous life, he had snatched her back and she had caused trouble for half a year. Now she was holding a grudge against him, trying to commit suicide, and trying her best to escape. How could he live like this?
Thinking of this, he swallowed the anger that was stuck in his chest.
Seeing that his momentum had subsided a little, Qing'an mustered up the courage to ask cautiously, "Zizi, are we going back to Beijing now?"
Xie Xianyu scowled, "No need."
Qing'an said weakly, "But it seems that Miss Xu has already been promised to someone else."
He sneered: "I have plenty of ways to deal with her."
“…”
On the Moon Bridge, Lin Han said to Wan Ruo with some reluctance, "I'm going to Beijing to take the imperial examination soon. I can't stay here for long. I'll come back to see you after my spring exam is over."
Wanruo smiled and nodded: "Then have a safe journey and wish you good luck in high school."
"I will do my best!"
The next morning, Lin Han left Linzhou, and Mr. Xu personally saw him off.
Wanruo was busy preparing medicine in the shop as usual, when she suddenly felt a tall figure looming over her. She paused and looked up at him blankly, stunned for a moment.
The person in front of me was wearing a moon-white robe, a jade crown to hold his hair, and a long brocade belt falling along his half-loose hair. His handsome face was as gentle as jade, and he looked like a banished immortal who had descended to earth.
She stared blankly for two breaths before hurriedly coming to her senses: "Are you here to buy medicine?"
He looked at her gently: "I came to find you."
"Looking for me?" She was a little confused for a moment.
"Don't you remember me? Three years ago, I gave you a jade pendant." He reminded me gently.
Wanruo was stunned for a moment before she finally remembered: "Ah, it's you..."
She finally matched the person in front of her with the figure of the big brother who fell from the sky and saved her mother three years ago.
He smiled: "It's me."
"Please come in!" Wanruo hurriedly invited him into the inner room and poured him tea personally.
"If it weren't for my benefactor who saved her, my mother would have died. Now that my mother is safe and sound, I have long wanted to see my benefactor again and repay him in my lifetime!"
She held the teacup in front of him with both hands.
He glanced at her and sneered in his heart. She looked so guilty, it seemed that she had not forgotten, but simply did not take him seriously.
He took the teacup, took a sip, and said in a vague and ambiguous tone: "Miss, you still remember it."
"I remember it!" Wanruo's eyes widened, her gaze sincere. "My parents always mentioned my benefactor, saying that if they could see him again, they would reward him handsomely."
There was a coldness in his eyes. Tiao, tiao, he was still the same nonsense after being reborn.
He reminded her gently, "Three years ago, I remember giving the girl a token of my love. I said that I would come and ask for her hand in marriage in three years."
Wanruo's face froze slightly. He actually still remembered it!
Wan Ruo's eyes flashed with guilt: "Yes, there is a jade pendant, I have been keeping it safely."
He looked at her gently, his lips curled up slightly: "I came here today to fulfill the promise I made that day, and to ask for your hand in marriage."
Wanruo swallowed and her palms began to sweat.
He drank his tea slowly, waiting patiently for her to make up a lie.
Wanruo struggled for a long time before finally speaking: "I thought what Jizi said back then was a joke and didn't take it seriously. After all, Jizi comes from a prominent family. How could a mere merchant girl like me be worthy of coveting a man as noble and graceful as Jizi?"
He feigned ignorance, his eyes sincere. "But a gentleman's word is a promise. Now that I've said it, I should keep it. I think that a girl like you who is grateful and repays kindness should do the same as me."
“…”
Wanruo felt as if her conscience was condemned.
Wanruo bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, knowing that she couldn't hide it, so she could only confess: "But I was still young at that time and didn't understand much about marriage. Now that my family has arranged a marriage for me, I can't break the contract..."
His eyes darkened, and his voice grew slightly colder: "Does that girl mean to break my promise?"
Wanruo stood there, her eyes wandering with panic.
Looking at her like this, he knew that she had already made a choice and was determined to break off the engagement, so until now, she still chose Lin Han.
He wished he could break her bones right away!
Wanruo really didn't want to choose Xie Xianyu. This guy was so weird. He actually kept his promise three years later. The key point was that with his background, he could choose any noble lady in the capital, so why did he choose her?
I’m afraid he’s a liar!
Wanruo was alert and said with a guilty conscience, "After all, our family has signed a marriage certificate. Marriage is a serious matter, and as a girl, I should obey my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
He sneered in his heart. In his previous life, she used the girl to appease him, and in this life, she used her parents to shut him up.
Wanruo stared at him with innocent eyes, and her mind was already thinking of countless ways to refuse.
Xie Xianyu was silent for a moment before finally speaking slowly, "If that's the case, then forget it."
Wanruo was stunned for a moment. The sudden turn of events caught her off guard.
He looked at her tenderly, his tone helpless, "Marriage is all about fate. If that's the case, it seems we're not meant to be."
Wanruo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded regretfully: "Yes."
I thought to myself that he was still a true gentleman who spoke politely.
Wanruo hurriedly said, "You saved my mother back then, and my family has always wanted to repay you. Now that I can see you this time, I'll tell my father and ask him to prepare a generous gift..."
His eyes darkened slightly. He wanted to settle things with him? He wanted to get rid of him with just a little gold and silver?
He smiled gently, "No need for a generous gift. I've heard the pills you make are very effective and famous far and wide. If you truly want to repay me, why not help me make some health-enhancing pills that I can take back to honor my elders."
Wanruo agreed immediately: "Tai! I will do it for you myself."
"Then I'll trouble you, young lady."
